Chapter 768: Before the Great Meeting
On the square in front of the Taiyuan Palace, as soon as the sky was bright, I saw a lot of carriages slowly coming towards the square, and in the distance, on the Vermilion Bird Street, countless lanterns bloomed in turn, as if it was a heavenly street, full of stars, after several years of development, Li Jing's small court gradually formed a scale. Today is a day of a big court meeting, Li Jing is the second day of the second month of February to rush back to Taiyuan, to Taiyuan is already the end of February, today is the beginning of the year, the first big court meeting of the new Tang regime, except for Li Qiao, who is far away in Guanzhong, other civil and military generals have rushed over.
On the entire square, there are four kinds of official robes in front of it, including vermilion, dark red, light red, and dark green, which basically cover the officials of Li Jing's entire civil and military system, and there are more than 100 people.
In the forefront, such as Zhao Ding, Wang Pu, Li Fu, Zhang Xiaochun, Yelu Dashi, Gongsun Sheng, Zhu Wu, Zhou Yuan and other military generals, all of them are above the third grade, dressed in Zhu Zi, among the other generals, Luan Tingyu, Hu Yanzhuo, Lin Chong, Boyan, Xiao Weige and other generals have rushed over, it can be said that this court meeting gathered all the civil and military forces of Li Jing, obviously something big happened.
Everyone gathered in the square, but also smiling, although everyone has some contradictions with each other, but the contradiction is not big, in the end before the founding of the country, under the guidance of the big policy, this small contradiction is still hidden below, on the surface, but will not be expressed, of course, after the end of the common tribulation, some things are not known.
"As soon as the king comes back, it will be a big court meeting, and I'm afraid something big is about to happen." Standing next to Li Fu are Li Xiao and Li Han, this is the clan of the Li family, but it is different from Li Fu, one is Zongzheng, and the other is the squire of the household department, the official position is not high, and he can't make any noise in the court.
"What can be done is nothing more than to unify the world." Li Fu said indifferently. This matter basically goes without saying, everyone knows what Li Jing's next goal is.
Li Xiao and Li Han glanced at each other, their faces were not very good, although everyone knew about the matter, but where to attack first, these are all particular, the two brothers led the conversation over, didn't they just want to know what they were attacking?
There are many people, Li Jing wants to issue an order to attack, it is just a gesture, but the real offensive strategy is impossible to say at the court, Li Jing always relies on a few people in the Qilin Pavilion and the Military Aircraft Department, everyone closes the door, a dozen or a few people can discuss, where will it be discussed in this situation?
"Although it is a domination of the world, how to fight and where to attack next is also a very important matter." Li Xiao glanced at the people around him and said: "The Li family has a big business, once the war starts, those industries must be sold, so as not to suffer from military disasters." Ninth brother, these industries have your share! ”
Li Fu's face was stunned for a moment, and finally he smiled bitterly: "Then sell them all!" Anyway, the household servant is here, everyone knows that the king doesn't like the family to have more land, and we, the Li clan, should set an example, hehe, Lord Zongzheng, isn't it? ”
Li Xiao's face turned cold, and finally said: "Since it is a clan surnamed Li, it is natural to think about the Li family, not only us, but also those princes, if the land is restricted, will the fiefs of those princes also be restricted in the future?" ”
"That's for later, the king hasn't made a decision, let's talk about it later! Anyway, now the Li family's land in the Central Plains will be sold. Isn't the eldest brother afraid of the war? Then sell them all. Li Fu said indifferently.
This is a question, Li Fu's face is gloomy, although Li Xiao and the others have other thoughts in their hearts, but what they say is also true, Li Jing is still the king now, and he will be the emperor soon, and the prince under his knees must be canonized, since he wants to be canonized, he must raise these royal families, if these royal families have no land, how can they support these princes?
"I want to know how Li Jing will solve these problems in the future." Li Xiao looked at Li Fu's back and said coldly: "If he divides the royal family, the land will be a hurdle that cannot be passed, and it will be up to him to explain to the people of the world when the time comes." ”
Thinking about how many years the Li family's savings are, they have bought all kinds of land all over the country, and now they sell all these lands, which is the Li family's years of hard work in vain.
"I'm afraid the king has made a big move this year, what difficulties does the household department have?" Zhao Ding looked at Cao Jing and said.
"The king is ready to sweep the world?" Cao Jing couldn't help but be surprised, and soon hesitated for a while, and said: "Although we had a bumper grain harvest last year, if we support the fight of a million troops, I am afraid it will be difficult, especially in the Luoyang area recently, many displaced people have entered Luoyang, and a lot of grain and grass will be consumed." Half a year can only be a war that lasts for half a year. ”
"Half a year? I'm afraid it's a little less. Zhao Ding's face was solemn, and he said: "Things have to be prepared for the worst, the Jin people are repeated, and the battle is brave, so we have to plan for the worst, there is less grain and grass in half a year, can we get more grain and grass?" The autumn harvest is also counted? ”
"The autumn harvest is also counted in it, and it must be done if the wind and rain are smooth, otherwise, half a year will still be longer." Cao Jing is already the secretary of the household department and is the housekeeper under Li Jing.
"Then buy it! Send someone to buy it. Wang Pu walked over, and the old voice said: "How can you fight a war without food on the front line?" Last year, even the queen weaved cloth to support the front line, but now does the king still need to save food and support the front line? The household department had a lot of money last year, so it spent money to buy it. ”
"Yes. Xia Guan understood. Cao Jing hurriedly said.
"It's a little difficult, but you have to persevere." Wang Pu couldn't help but say: "My Wang family can also support 3,000 stone of grain, I want to wait for me to receive the king's favor, and it is also appropriate to support the king to unify the world at this time." ”
The corners of Zhao Ding's mouth twitched, Wang Pudu decided to support Wang Shi, as the minister of the Qilin Pavilion, if Zhao Ding did not support one or two, I am afraid it would not be reasonable, but Zhao Ding was a Qing official, where was there so much food support.
"Hehe, Lord Zhao, you are a Qing official, so there is no need, but there are still many people in the court who have money and food." Wang Pu looked at the Li brothers not far away with a smile and said, "The clan has a lot of food!" ”
Zhao Ding's face moved, but he didn't speak, the so-called clan was just a joke in the eyes of everyone, and there was no power and prestige in the court at all.
"If you don't contribute a little, don't want this clan!" Zhang Xiaochun didn't know when he came over, so he couldn't help but interject. Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads.
