Chapter 435: Conclave!
"Your Majesty, this Zhang Yan deliberately concealed the matter of Yizhou, and according to our investigation, this Zhang Yan has a close relationship with the Lu family in the five surnames and seven hopes, and the secret organization organized by this group of students is also behind the scenes, according to various signs, we suspect that this matter has nothing to do with the gate lord clan, they may be using the students to launch a bourgeois revolution and regain the lost dominant position with a different identity, after all, most of the largest capital merchants in Datang are from these wang clans, among the merchants, They also have a very high prestige, if they really do something and can publicize it can attract a lot of speculative businessmen to participate, businessmen seek profits, the emperor, you must be on guard, I will build yì emperor to arrest these people in advance. Li Rui said with an expression on her face.
Li Su read the secret report, many of the people on it are known to him, many of them are from schools in Yizhou, and even the army is involved in this matter, Li Su looked at these names, his heart was unprecedentedly cold, he was benevolent and righteous to everyone, he could pat his chest and say, he is a Ming monarch, but these people are still delusional about turning the Tang Empire into a country controlled by capitalists for personal gain, Li Su will never allow this to happen.
"Continue to monitor, let all resources be used to control the information of these people, and at the same time collect evidence of their crimes, and don't be alarmed for the time being." Li Su lit the secret report, the flame burned in front of him, an emperor always has to step on the bones to achieve his empire, Li Su thought that he could avoid it, but he still thought too naïve, the struggle for power was far more cruel than he imagined.
Li Rui was a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, if you don't do it at this time, when will you wait?" ”
"In order to wipe out these people, we must wait for them to raise the anti-flag, so that their guilt will be confirmed." Li Su said coldly.
"But when is that?" Li Rui continued.
"Your secret report said that they also made a plan for the Great Dynasty to assassinate me, so I will give them this opportunity." Li Su thought for a while. This year's Great Dynasty Meeting, Li Su, will deliver a New Year's speech by the Qujiang Pond, and this news has long been spread through the guò newspaper, so he will make a plan.
Li Rui nodded when she heard this, "But this is too dangerous." ”
Li Su smiled faintly: "These people have backward gunpowder in their hands at most, and the power is not too great, I just need to order a set of protective clothing from Li Ran." ”
Li Rui, as Li Su's housekeeper, naturally wants to think about Li Su's safety, Li Su insists on this, and he has no choice but to monitor this matter with all his strength and give full play to the maximum energy of the intelligence system.
After Li Rui left. Li Su put away his smile, now he can't trust anyone, and he can't prepare in advance, because anyone can leak his plan, therefore, the people Li Su asked Li Rui to use are all terminators who are incorporated into the shadow guard, and since Datang's army can't be mobilized at will, he has to rely on the clone army at the base in Leah, Australia.
made a phone call to Li Ran, and Li Su asked him to gather 100,000 clone troops to stand by. At the same time, let him monitor the overseas garrisons, and if there is any abnormal movement, allow them to strike first, which is also Li Su's perfect strategy. This time he wants to make all the people with bad intentions come out.
Secretly arranged these things, Li Su handled the government affairs normally, and at the same time prepared for the New Year's affairs, as if nothing had happened.
To celebrate the new year. Li Su took Li Shimin and others to Chang'an before the Chinese New Year, and at the same time, Qin Huaiyu, Zhu Youzhi, Xue Rengui and other generals also received orders to rush to Chang'an to participate in the imperial meeting. And countless businessmen and officials rushed to Chang'an from all over the Tang Dynasty, which made Chang'an, an ancient capital, glow with unprecedented vitality.
When Li Su set the trap, a lot of celebratory wine was transported to Chang'an by three trucks, these wines were loaded into half-meter-high wooden wine barrels, marked with drinks prepared for the Great Dynasty Meeting, from the famous wineries of the Tang Dynasty, at the same time, during this period, many officials and army generals came and went frequently, and the background of these people was more or less related to the Shi clan gate lords, and in a secret basement in the western suburbs of Chang'an, dozens of merchants wearing silk and satin were discussing something.
"This time, Li Su is sure that he will make a speech at the court meeting, and they will put the explosives under the platform that has been erected, and then there will be eunuchs in the palace who should light the powder keg, as long as the powder keg is ignited, Li Su will definitely die, and as long as Li Su is dead, the Tang Dynasty dragons have no leader, it is the best time for us to do something." An old man said, "When the time comes, when we raise the banner of the capitalist class revolution, the other merchants will not support us and will not stop us, and once the whole world gathers in response, the merchants will quickly form a powerful army with enough financial resources." ”
"Li Lao is right, Li Su's prestige among the people is too great, if he doesn't die, we will never turn over, and we will only die after ten years, twenty years later, this time we use the capital revolution as an excuse to establish a new political system, when the time comes, as long as we change our identity, we still control the real power of the Tang Empire." The speaker has a pair of hanging eyes, it is Lu Jin, so the matter of corruption, the Lu family officials in the court are basically all purged, killed, exiled, Lu Jin was also exiled to the Western Regions, it means unusual to appear here at this time.
After Li Su ascended the throne, their power in the court shrank, it can be said that Li Su's anti-corruption purge was basically completely driven out of the political center, they knew that they could not fight Li Su on the bright side, they could only look for other opportunities, and the bourgeoisie created by Li Su and those students who accepted advanced knowledge and concepts became the objects of their use at this time, in these years, these gate lords also thought about how to change themselves, As a result, many children of the family were sent to various schools to study, and the children of these families instilled a capitalist concept in them.
This made their hearts rekindle hope, a chaebol controlled country is exactly what they need, because of the abundant financial resources, these gate lords have taken advantage of the new opportunity to become a new famous tycoon, with countless assets, they are united enough to shake the entire business world, if such an empire is established, they can definitely occupy a place in the new country, therefore, they decided to start secretly cooperating on the grounds that the current system is no longer suitable for the development of Datang, and take advantage of the blind enthusiasm of the students to build their own momentum.
"Well, these gunpowders are enough to send Li Su to the sky, but should we support that prince as a puppet?" The Zheng family asked alone.
This question silenced everyone, even if Li Su died, the Li royal family would still be a problem, and Li Su still had a son, so they must find a prince, so that they could be justified and not offend the entire Li royal family, after all, the Li royal family still has a power that cannot be ignored in the Tang Dynasty.
"We already have a candidate." At this time, a person stood up, but it was Fang Xuanling's love, after Fang Xuanling died three years ago, before the funeral was over, he and Princess Gao Yang were separating from their eldest brother, and were reprimanded by Li Su, and then Gao Yang blew the wind in his ears, and he was resentful of Li Su, he said: "His Royal Highness King Wei is willing to wish us a hand." ”
"King Wei? He was really willing to help me. Lu Jinxi said, Li Chengqian is now a concubine, Li Ke and other princes have a good relationship with Li Su, and only the prince of Wei, who has lost power, echoes their request.
"I also agree with King Wei." At this time, another person stood up, this person was wearing a military uniform, but it was Chai Lingwu, he and Fang Yiai were both confidants of King Wei before, so they naturally admired King Wei.
The others saw Chai Lingwu stand up, the weight of the King of Wei was heavier, Fang Yiai and Princess Gaoyang were both participants in this secret operation, Princess Gaoyang was in charge of the court's convenience for the eunuchs who acted, and Chai Lingwu had a group of dead soldiers in his hands, these dead soldiers were mixed in the new army, as long as an order was given, these dead soldiers would enter Chang'an City in the name of revenge for Li Su, and kill those officials who were loyal to Li Su.
"Since General Chai also agreed, this matter is like this, take advantage of this time, you go back and prepare the militia groups of each family, don't make any mistakes at that time, success or failure in this move, we have gambled all our net worth, and we can't afford to lose." The man known as Li Lao said.
Hearing this, everyone nodded solemnly, each of them has spent a lot of money to buy slaves and maids from overseas over the years, nominally as a worker, but in fact they secretly trained themselves to become soldiers, and the scale accumulated over the years is not small, otherwise they would also be desperate with this confidence.
The plan was agreed, and everyone dispersed, at this time they didn't know that their images were being transmitted to Li Su's study by satellite, looking at these people who came out of the basement one by one, Li Su was cold, and the content of their conversation just now was also played out word for word by the eavesdropper, especially Chai Lingwu In order to make everyone believe in King Wei, it was also revealed that when Li Su first arrived in Yizhou, in the high-power incident, the King of Wei also ordered him to kill Li Su, and the man in black incident that he had been indulged in for more than ten years until today, Li Su finally figured it out.
Li Su looked at the picture of Chai Lingwu and Princess Gao Yang leaving, and experienced the pain for the first time, Gao Yang is his sister, Fang Yiai is also his brother-in-law, and Chai Lingwu is Chai Shao's son, and he is a cousin, and Li Tai is his fourth brother, these four people are now going to partner up to seek the throne, this situation Li Su can no longer be described with anger, he took a deep breath, he has done his best to these benevolence, and they are looking for death by themselves.
