Chapter 61: The Storm is Coming
Diligent Palace
The man in black was describing what was happening outside the Fortune Restaurant today, and Li Shimin also listened very carefully, not letting go of any link, and the smile on his face became more and more popular.
To tell the truth, in the early years of Zhenguan, Li Shimin was also subject to the five surnames and seven hopes, and he couldn't wait to teach them a lesson, but because the major families had penetrated too deeply, if Li Shimin didn't want to tear his face, then try not to provoke them.
Now that the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is rising, Li Shimin's voice is getting stronger and stronger, so for the five surnames and seven hopes, Li Shimin also wants to try again, but he doesn't know where to start, but he didn't expect this kid to go to the front.
"What is the Cui family's move?"
Li Xiang is indeed very happy, and it can be regarded as making Li Shimin breathe a sigh of relief, but the Cui family is not an ordinary family, ranking first among the five surnames and seven wangs, and losing such a big person, if you don't get it back, then I'm afraid it won't be them.
"The subordinates haven't found it yet, but the Cui family's several mansions in the capital, the subordinates have already arranged for the master, and once there is any trouble, they will know immediately."
The man in black did things very carefully, this matter was related to the struggle between the royal family and the Cui family, and he didn't dare to take it lightly, and sent out the most elite people under him.
"Where's the stinky boy?"
After Li Shimin asked, he felt that he had no need to ask this sentence, this kid had already returned to the East Palace half an hour ago, no matter how bold the people of the Cui family were, I am afraid they would not dare to attack the people in the palace.
"The subordinates dare to say that His Royal Highness the eldest grandson doesn't need to be watched, his subordinates are all masters."
The man in black had a strange face on his face when he said this, all the masters from all walks of life were inherited in an orderly manner, and it was impossible for them to appear out of thin air, but Ren Ping and they tried their best, and in the end, they couldn't find out where the people around His Royal Highness the eldest grandson came from.
"You go and send this decree to the military department."
Li Shimin picked up a copy of the holy decree that had already been written.
The content of the holy decree is very simple, that is, to reward Lord Pan of the Liaodong Division of the Ministry of War.
Li Xiang also has something too much to do, Li Shimin can't be too protective of the calf, but he can't not support it, if Li Xiang is cowardly, then I'm afraid it will make the world laugh, you are a dignified emperor and grandson can't play the rest of the Cui family, let alone the rest of the Cui family.
Now Li Shimin did not mention Li Xiang's matter, but instead commended the Liaodong Division's palm seal, and also mentioned the arrest of the Goryeo State spies, that is, he indirectly supported Li Xiang and said that he did the right thing.
"Your Majesty, in this way, isn't this the confrontation between you and the Cui family? Isn't it a little more deliberate? ”
The man in black has been with Li Shimin for many years, and he is not just a tool for doing things, he has all the power of Li Shimin in secret, and he is also a think tank in ordinary times, so he can say a word.
"The Tang Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, and now is not the early years of Zhenguan, the five surnames and Qiwang still live in the same way as before, so how can it work?"
Li Shimin stood up and stretched, in fact, he has wanted to do this for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity, to be more precise, that is, there is no just right entry point, after all, the well water on both sides does not interfere with the river water, today can be regarded as an opportunity, and the matter has been done, you are not allowed to continue to consider, Li Shimin couldn't make up his mind before, and he was afraid of affecting the good situation in front of him, but Li Xiang had already made up his mind for him, he could only continue to go down, on the battlefield of power struggle, There is no way back.
"Then tomorrow morning morning ......"
The man in black didn't continue, but Li Shimin also understood that there would definitely be a lot of people in the court tomorrow morning, on the one hand, to impeach Li Xiang for fighting in the street, and on the other hand, it should also be to dissuade Li Shimin not to reward the palm seal of the Liaodong Division, which will make the situation more extreme.
"The early dynasty is a mirror of demons, everyone's recital and a sentence can represent his position and ideas, and now that the lake has been calm for so long, it is time for someone to stir it up."
If the peaceful days pass for too long, it will make others lose their fighting spirit, Li Shimin will not let the five surnames and seven hopes continue like this, and the time will come sooner or later.
"Go down, send someone to keep an eye on them, read the news carefully, and report anything immediately, but you must protect him."
After Li Shimin's words were finished, the man in black disappeared.
East Palace
"You stinky boy, you let me tell you what's good, why are you so big? I did ask you to find the Cui family's bad luck, but I didn't say that you should find it like this, Cui Yuncheng is not an ordinary person, he is one of the eight officials of the Cui family, and it is very likely that he will become the next patriarch of the Cui family, even if I meet the next patriarch of the Cui family, it will be a nephew and nephew. ”
Li Chengqian was about to go crazy, he had long known that his son was not a fuel-efficient lamp, but he didn't expect to be so reckless in doing things, if he had known that this was the case, he would definitely not have given him that idea.
In case the turmoil of the Tang Empire is caused by his son's behavior, then the future of the son will be gone, and in order to calm the anger of the five surnames and seven hopes, the emperor is likely to choose to sacrifice a grandson, after all, he has a grandson, but there is only one empire.
"Then does Father want to not salute him in the future?"
Li Xiang said speechlessly, although Li Chengqian is Li Shimin's own son, but in terms of Li Chengqian's courage, it is far worse than Li Shimin, even if he is not so nonsense, Li Shimin should not let him be the emperor.
"What you said is simple, that is the largest family in the world, since the previous dynasty, it has lasted for hundreds of years, can you suppress it if you want to? Your grandfather has worked hard for so many years, but he has only maintained the current situation, and he has not thought about doing anything excessive, you are good, not only seriously injured Cui Yuncheng, but also seized other people's restaurants, oh my God! ”
Li Chengqian was so anxious that he was about to go to the room, but Li Xiang still sat honestly in place, and didn't feel that he was in trouble, because it was already the second half of the day, if the emperor was angry, the holy decree would have come a long time ago, but now there is no news, which means that the emperor and we have the same idea.
It's a pity that this dad can't understand the emperor's heart!
"How are you like no one? Do you know how many people are going to play you tomorrow morning? ”
Seeing his son's breezy appearance, Li Chengqian was also angry.
"Even if there are hundreds of people, isn't it my grandfather who makes the final decision?"
Li Xiang said a word, and Li Chengqian was speechless......
