Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Dark Tide Surging (Part II)

Except for when the Zheng family and the Wang family were thinking about how to suppress this matter, the Boling Cui family and the Qinghe Cui family came together and invited the Fan Yang Lu family to discuss the news spread by the Wang family.

This seemingly trivial matter completely attracted the famous families of the entire Central Plains, well, except for the Li family of Zhaojun and the Li family of Longyou, after all, one of those two families is a royal family, and the other is a clan, both of which are Li Shimin's ironcore, at least they will not do anything to offend the Li Tang Dynasty until Li Shimin completely tears his face.

At the same time, Li Tao finally arrived in Chang'an at noon two days later, and rushed to the Taiji Palace to hand in the tiger talisman as soon as possible.

Temple of Manna.

Li Shimin played with the tiger talisman handed over by Li Tao, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "Mao Gong, there are some things I have to do, and some people seem to have forgotten how the Tang Dynasty came about. ”

Li Tao lowered his head stiffly, his breathing slowly calmed down, and after hearing Li Shimin's words, he said in a low voice: "The minister is clear, but Your Majesty, now is the time is not right, if you take the liberty of doing it, is there any need to consider it?" ”

"Mao Gong thinks that who can afford the crime of resisting the decree in person?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Tao trembled, knelt down with a puff, and said: "Your subordinates have no way to do it, and you really damn it if you collide with Your Majesty!" ”

"That's it, I still know what you are doing, and I won't care about you this time, but there are some things that you should do?" Li Shimin is neither light nor heavy, but it was these fluttering words that made Li Tao's soul rise, and he once again remembered what Zhenguan promised Li Kong in the first year.

"Your Majesty...... Let's get started! ”

"Go ahead, just a little bit, my British duke is an unrivaled talent across the field, how can he be a mother-in-law and mother in such a trivial matter?"

"Your Majesty understands, Your Majesty retires!" Li Tao answered, got up and left.

Looking at Li Tao's back, Li Shimin shook his head helplessly, this humerus is good, but it is too affectionate and righteous, don't you know that sometimes the more this is the case, the more bad things will happen, if Li Tao directly set Li Yue'e's name at the beginning, she Wang would not dare to do it even if she had the courage to do so.

After a while, the British Mansion, looking at the huge plaque on the gatehouse, Li Tao's heart was bitter, this plaque Li Shimin left for him, the meaning is very obvious, if Li Tao can meet Li Shimin's expectations this time, his degraded title will be restored instantly, otherwise, this plaque will not be kept, and it may even be lowered again.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Li Shimin took this opportunity to confess to Li Tao and those founding fathers, and let them choose for themselves, whether to stand on his side Li Shimin or the side of the family.

Taking a deep breath, Li Tao raised his legs and walked into the mansion, and several porters hurriedly knelt down to greet him after seeing him, but Li Tao turned a blind eye to this and went straight to the other courtyard.

Inside the annex grounds.

Li Kong just finished brushing the marksmanship, so he threw the spear out casually, just stabbed on the doorpost of the gate of the courtyard, listening to the wind whistling in his ears and the spear close at hand, Li Kong's face sank, and said, "You want to kill me?" ”

"How is that possible? But you're back pretty fast this time, and I hope you can make a wise choice this time! Li Kong opened his mouth while wiping his hands, but his eyes never looked at Li Tao, as if a glance would insult his eyes.

Li Tao snorted coldly, bypassed Li Kong and walked into Li Yue'e's room, and said loudly: "Clean up today, move into the backyard tomorrow, I will ask Your Majesty to issue a decree to pardon you as the new English lady, and in the future, as a housewife, when you have the majesty of a housewife, the previous ones, just throw them away!" ”

The sudden words made Li Yue, who was being a female celebrity, completely stupid, and looked up at Li Tao standing in front of her, although she opened her mouth hard, she still couldn't say a word.

However, Cuizhu next to her was stunned for a moment, with a faint chuckle on her face, she gently pushed Li Yue'e and said, "Madam, the master is talking to you." ”

Li Yue'e came back to her senses and said, "Master, wouldn't it be inappropriate to do this?" It's okay for me to be wronged, don't spoil the master's big things! ”

Hearing this, Li Tao's heart moved slightly, shook his head and said, "Forget it, if you can manage this family well, it will be the best help for me, so prepare it." ”

After speaking, Li Tao turned around and left, not giving Li Yue'e any chance to refute at all.

Li Yue'e looked at Li Tao's back with a blank face, to be honest, it would be impossible if she didn't covet the position of Mrs. England, but she was self-aware, and she was a little simple, so she never thought about fighting for anything before, in her heart, as long as Li Tao and Li Kong were fine, she was a woman, and it was nothing to suffer some grievances.

But when all this was now in front of her, she was at a loss, uneasy, excited, and a little longing, but more worried.

She has survived in the grass since she was a child, and she knows too well the energy of those families, and she can laugh at the lives of the grass and people, let alone others?

Don't look at Li Tao now, he is quite majestic, but once those scholars start to resist, with Li Tao's status, they will be wiped out in minutes.

Outside, Li Kong had already left, and Li Tao, who didn't see Li Kong, was a little disappointed, the reason why he said so loudly just now was to let Li Kong listen, but now people are directly ignoring it, which makes him feel a deep sense of frustration.

But now is not the time to say this, he looked in the direction of the backyard, and after a long time, his eyes became firm, and he strode out of the courtyard.

In a room, Li Kong opened the window, and the corners of his mouth provoked a chuckle: "Even if you still have a little conscience, but then is the time to really test you, I hope you can stand it!" ”

In the backyard, since Wang was dismissed by Li Shimin two days ago, he drove everyone out, except for someone who came to deliver food every day, no one else could get close to her room for half a step, except for the housekeeper of the inner courtyard.

At this time, after learning that Li Tao came back and went to the other courtyard, Wang's face was ugly, and his originally graceful face looked a little hideous, but then he returned to normal, and even shed a few tears, which was quite pitiful.

"Madam, the master is here, we have to go out to meet us!" The steward knocked on the door and whispered.

Wang snorted coldly, twitched the tip of his nose fiercely, and then got up and pushed open the door, seeing the cold sunlight outside again.

At this moment, Li Tao walked over quickly, and after seeing Wang, his body paused for a moment, and he muttered for a moment before saying, "You clean up by yourself and move to the side room." ”

Wang still had some expectations for Li Tao, but at this time, Li Tao's words directly knocked her into the abyss, and all her acting skills disappeared, leaving only anger and unwillingness: "Why? ”
