Chapter 214: The Li Brothers' Response
"No!"
Cheng Chuliang had no choice but to clench his fists and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the middle door.
At this moment, Bai Fu suddenly said, "Your Majesty, do you want to start the blackbird?" ”
Li Shimin frowned and thought for a while, and said: "There is no need for the time being, they are stirring up trouble and arson everywhere in Chang'an City, but they just want to separate the forces of the various guards on Suzaku Street, and then concentrate their forces to attack the Wuwang Mansion." Yuanba, do you think they will be able to attack it? ”
Li Yuanba laughed and said, "Brother Huang doesn't have to worry, let them have thousands of horses and thousands of troops, as long as they dare to come to my Martial Palace, they will definitely have no return!" ”
Li Shimin was still very convinced of Li Yuanba's words, he nodded and said, "In this case, I have nothing to worry about!" You go and inform the blackbird, and act according to the plan......"
Bai Fu replied respectfully: "The slave obeys. ”
Li Shimin's face was slightly indifferent, and he continued: "In addition, if this kind of thing happens in the city, it is always a little unreasonable to ignore it!" In this way, you go and inform Liu Sanshui and ask him to call all the officials above the seventh grade in Chang'an City to come to the Wuwang Mansion, one is to discuss this matter, and the other is on the occasion of the wedding of the Wuwang, I want to feast the ministers. ”
As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, the emperor's thoughts, how can a slave be able to guess it, Bai Fu's face showed a puzzled look, but he still responded respectfully, and went out to find Liu Sanshui to convey his will.
Seeing Bai Fu walking out of the middle gate, Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin a little strangely and said, "Second brother, why do you want to gather all the ministers in the palace?" ”
Li Shimin rubbed the bridge of his nose and didn't speak, just nodded to Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Father, according to the investigation of his sons for many days, this incident was provoked by the five surnames and seven wangs in collusion with the Tubo people. As for its purpose, it's simple! It's nothing more than wanting to take this opportunity to serve everyone including you and the imperial brother! ”
"Smack!"
Li Yuan directly took the case. Furious, he said, "Such a traitor is guilty of no punishment! ”
Quiet!
In the banquet hall, which was originally still very lively, it fell into a deathly silence in an instant, and everyone looked at Li Yuan who was shooting the case with shocked faces, and he was furious, not knowing what was going on?
"Qiang Qiang ......"
A pair of imperial city guards with black armor and horizontal knives on their waists and hips appeared at the middle gate almost in the next instant, looking at their murderous appearance, even the air was a little more solemn.
"Stand down!"
Looking at the more than two hundred guards at the door. Li Yuanba frowned, and waved his hand at them from afar.
The leading guard glanced at the scene in the hall, saluted Li Yuanba, and exited the main hall.
Li Yuanba stood up and said to the people who were still a little stunned: "Everyone, go on!" The Emperor Taishang just said that he was drunk, and he had no other intentions, you continue to drink and feast, and if you don't get drunk today, you won't return! ”
"Whew! I just said, how can you scold for no reason? ”
"I told you to be quiet. People are father and son, His Royal Highness King Wu said that it doesn't matter if the emperor is drunk, you chew the root of your tongue with this, you are not afraid of being cut off! ”
"Eat and drink. Eat and drink! Don't talk about anything else! ”
Li Yuanba's voice fell, and the banquet hall became noisy again, but this noise was limited to a small area, after all, the image of the Emperor Taishang who was angry just now. is still dangling in everyone's minds, and no one dares to touch this mold.
Here, Li Yuanba pulled his father to sit down and said, "Father." Why are you so angry? Actually, that's a good thing for us! ”
"A good thing?" Li Yuan glared at Li Yuanba angrily, and said, "It's going to be a rebellion, is this still a good thing?" ”
"Father, think about it, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, those five surnames and Qiwang have been occupying the cultivation path of scholars, and the land of Qiwang has become their private territory! Over the years, the imperial brothers have suppressed them in every way, and they have long held a grudge against them, and they can't wait to overthrow my Tang Dynasty! Before, I Datang took care of internal stability, and there was no suitable reason, so I didn't move them, but ......"
Speaking of this, Li Yuanba paused and said, "But this time is different from the past!" Today they took the initiative to send it to the door, just to give us an excuse to do it, if we don't express it well, how can we be worthy of this good opportunity? ”
"You stinky boy, it's easy to say!" Li Yuan shook his head and said, "Do you think I didn't want to solve the big trouble of the five surnames and seven wangs back then?" It's just that at that time, I Datang didn't have too much energy to deal with them. Although after so many years of recuperation, Datang has accumulated some troops, but these troops not only have to garrison the border passes, but also maintain law and order on all sides, if you want to move the five surnames and seven hopes, it is not easy! ”
"That was before!" Li Yuanba laughed and said: "Now, my Datang has those 10,000 Shenwu Guards, as well as multiple heavy firearms developed in the Shenji Mansion, not to mention dealing with only five surnames and seven wangs, even those small countries in Fanbang, if they want to completely destroy them, it is not a matter of time!" ”
"Is there such a god?" Li Yuan didn't believe that there was such a thing as a god in this world.
"God is not God, I believe that my father will be able to witness it with his own eyes today!" A smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuanba's mouth, and he even sold Guanzi.
……
Not to mention that Li Yuanba's wedding banquet is still very lively, and Liu Sanshui has already assigned people to deliver the decree.
His Majesty summoned all the officials above the seventh rank to enter the Wuwang Mansion, and the civil and military officials above the seventh rank had more than a thousand people in Chang'an City, and so many people all went to the Wuwang Mansion, could it be that they were told to go to the wedding banquet?
For this order, those officials who don't know the reason are naturally confused by the second monk.
Compared with the majority of officials, a small number of officials who belong to the family of five surnames and seven hopes are a little noisy.
In the imposing mansion under the root of the imperial city, when several second- and third-grade officials belonging to the Cui family brought the news here, Cui Hao of the Cui family and Tubo Dalun Lu Dongzan were indeed a little surprised.
Cui Hao made a gloomy face and said, "What kind of medicine is sold in this Li Shimin gourd?" Could it be that he already knows about it? No way, as far as I know, he doesn't have this ability yet! Perhaps, as you say, it was because of the fire in the city? Forget it, then Li Shimin is a person with a good reputation, and without conclusive evidence, he will not take you lightly, otherwise, he will definitely leave a bad reputation for killing court officials for no reason! ”
Speaking of this, he looked up at the highest-ranking person in the dozen or so families in front of him, and said, "Wait until you go to the Wuwang Mansion now, so as not to arouse Li Shimin's suspicions, remember, no matter what happens, don't panic!" When today's thing is done, you will be the hero of my Cui family! (To be continued......)
