Chang'an City, Drunken Immortal Building.

Zuixianlou is the largest restaurant and inn in Chang'an City, and the daily guests here have hardly been cut off.

And this is also a place where people with status in Chang'an City often come to it.

In the private room on the second floor, Wei Zheng and Li Ji sat opposite each other.

The two are old acquaintances, and they have known each other before entering Wagangzhai.

Later, although they followed different people, the relationship between the two has always been very good.

Wei Zheng was able to live well after Li Jiancheng was killed, and it was not unrelated to Li Ji's intercession behind his back.

The two of them drank and chatted, and before they knew it, Li Ji mentioned the gangs in Chang'an City, and then talked about the matter of Qifentang.

"Xuancheng, you know that the shop of the Seven Branches Hall was seized by Jingzhao Mansion, right?"

Wei Zheng nodded: "This matter has spread, and I have heard about it a little." ”

Li Jidao: "There are many gangs in Chang'an City, and these gangs also do business, but their means of doing business are really not very bright, for example, Qifentang, many of their goods are smuggled over, I don't know how much tax evasion, this Qifentang is just a small gang, and the situation of other big gangs, I'm afraid it's even worse, they do this, it's a loss of tax revenue for the imperial court, and for other businessmen, it's unfair competition. ”

After listening to Li Ji, Wei Zheng also nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed the case, these gangs, they should be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to clean up when they are too big." ”

Li Ji also nodded, and then they said something else, and then they left separately.

The next morning.

On the top of the main hall, when the ministers said the same thing, Wei Zheng stood up, as a person from the Yushitai, all kinds of things in the Tang Dynasty, as long as he felt that something was wrong, he could stand up and impeach.

"Holy Lord, the minister has something to report."

Li Shimin was a little big when he saw Wei Zheng stand up, because every time Wei Zheng stood up, he would basically cause some problems to himself, but he couldn't say anything, because Wei Zheng was a person from Yushitai, and he had the right to stand up and accuse the imperial court, even if he was not the son of heaven.

If he Li Shimin wants to be a Mingjun, he can't block the way of speech.

"Oh, what does Aiqing want to report?"

Wei Zheng said: "Shengshang, the minister is not impeaching anyone this time, but I think the imperial court should praise Lord Lu Yilu, the assassin of Jingzhao Mansion, Lord Lu sent someone to seal up the shop of the Seven Branches Hall a few days ago, this Seven Branches Hall is a small gang in Chang'an City, they opened a few shops in the West Market, however, their shops are suspected of smuggling, and Lord Lu seized them, which is very beneficial to my Datang and my Datang businessmen." ”

"And now in Chang'an City, there are still many shops opened by gangs like Qifentang, and they are more or less suspected of smuggling, so the minister thinks that in addition to praising Lord Lu Yilu, the shops of other gangs should also be investigated, and if there is a problem with these shops, they must also be sealed, so that I can have a fair and just business environment in Chang'an City."

After Wei Zheng said this, above the court, Lu Yi's face turned slightly pale, why didn't he know about this?

He is the assassin of Jingzhao Mansion, but except for some major matters that he needs to deal with personally, many small things are handled by the Tongzhi of Jingzhao Mansion, he doesn't know about this matter, so he must have done it.

However, he can also have credit for the affairs of Jingzhao Mansion, so after hearing Wei Zheng praise himself, Lu Yi still accepted it cheekily.

At this time, many officials in the DPRK and China who were not accustomed to looking down on those gangs also came forward one after another.

"Yes, Shengshang, what Lord Wei said is very reasonable, those gangs should indeed be suppressed, and they can't be allowed to come nonsense, otherwise they will be damaged in the end, but the interests of my Datang, since Jingzhao Mansion has started, let Jingzhao Mansion continue to do it."

"Extremely, extremely, let Jingzhao Mansion continue to do it, and eradicate the cancer of my Datang in one fell swoop."

"That's right, that's right, Jingzhao Mansion has done a good job, let them continue to do it, these gangs, it's time to clean them up."

"Please let the Jingzhao Mansion continue to do ......"

The officials of the court said one after another, but Li Shimin did not agree immediately, these officials in the court were jealous and hateful, and felt that those gangs needed to be destroyed immediately, but he did not think so.

Of course, it's not that I think these gangs can't be destroyed, but it's not yet time, what Datang needs now is stability, these gangs have infiltrated all walks of life in Datang, if you do it against them, I'm afraid it will shake the stability of Datang Chang'an, right?

It's just that now so many officials in the DPRK and China feel that those shops should be seized, and if they don't try it, it will inevitably seem that the court is afraid of those gang forces.

He, Li Shimin, should have the courage to give it a try.

If it really affects stability in the end, then you can find a way.

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment and said: "This matter will be handed over to Jingzhao Mansion to handle, whether it is sealed or not, it all depends on the will of Jingzhao Mansion." ”

This matter cannot be done in the name of the imperial court, it is best to do it in the name of Jingzhao Mansion, in this way, even if there is some bad influence in the end, it will be settled, and the imperial court will not lose too much face.

After Li Shimin finished saying this, Lu Yi immediately stood up: "The minister receives the order." ”

After saying this, the court meeting is almost over.

The ministers left one after another, and when Lu Yi left, he seemed a little excited, and the whole person was full of momentum, as if he must do a good job in this matter arranged by the imperial court.

In his opinion, the gang power in Chang'an City is indeed quite large, but no matter how big they are, they don't dare to argue with the imperial court, right?

The army of the imperial court pressed over, and it was not like playing to destroy them?

Lu Yi wanted to hurry back to Jingzhao Mansion and make good arrangements.

Li Ji's side left with Cheng Yanjin and them.

"I said British duke, what kind of trouble are you making here, why did you suddenly think of doing something to those court gangs, and you want us to add fuel to the fire in the court?"

In the court just now, Cheng Yanjin and Qin Shubao echoed what Wei Zheng said, and they pushed everything to Jingzhao Mansion.

It's just that they don't understand, what is Li Ji's purpose for letting them do this?

Li Ji shrugged his shoulders and said: "These are just things that Cui Shaoqing asked me to do, I don't know what Cui Shaoqing wants to do, but you just wait and see, this kid, this time I want to do something again, let's see the excitement." ”

Hearing that it was arranged by Cui Shaoqing, Cheng Biting Jin and the others immediately pouted.

"This kid is quite ...... to evoke"
