Li Shimin

Chapter 468 The Cui Family Wants to Borrow Arms

After half an hour.

In the main building of the other courtyard, on the dining table on the first floor.

Li Xuan and Cui Mi sat on one side, while Cui Xuanlan sat on the other side.

Although this way of eating at the same table, in Cui Xuanlan's view, it is a bit impolite.

However, in Lijiazhuang, facing King Jin, he could only accept it happily.

When the food was ready, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up the plate of pickled dried cucumber and reed reed!
"Ok?"

After taking a sip, Cui Xuanlan couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

It was the first time he tasted this taste.

"Sour, sour, crispy, crispy, and a bit salty. The key is to keep the original taste of the vegetables. This taste is even more delicious than the chef's dishes!"

"If my father-in-law likes it, I will bring him a hundred catties!"

Li Xuan smiled lightly, picked up a bottle of white wine, opened it, and poured Cui Xuanlan a glass.

Then, pour yourself another glass.

Seeing this, Cui Xuanlan's eyes lit up again, and he picked it up quickly.

"His Royal Highness, please!"

"Father-in-law please!"

After drinking a glass, the atmosphere is no longer awkward.

Moreover, without Li Xuan asking, Cui Xuanlan took the initiative to tell his reason for coming.

He wants to borrow [-] weapons from Li Shimin through Li Xuan!
"Why does father-in-law want weapons?"

Li Xuan was dumbfounded.

"It's natural to attack those barbarian countries!"

Cui Xuanlan said solemnly.

"I don't know what father-in-law used to borrow weapons?"

Li Xuan asked slowly.

"King Jin agreed?"

Hearing this, Cui Xuanlan couldn't help being startled, he didn't expect Li Xuan to agree so quickly.

"Why didn't you agree?"

Li Xuan chuckled lightly, "However, I hope that father-in-law will not have too much expectation. I just passed on a message to father-in-law. As for your majesty's agreement, it is your majesty's decision!"

"Prince Jin agrees!"

Cui Xuanlan was surprised.

Afterwards, he frowned and thought for a moment, then asked again: "Dare to ask King Jin, do you know what I can use to borrow weapons from His Majesty, and His Majesty will agree?"

"Father-in-law, don't blame me, I don't know either!"

Li Xuan shook his head again.

"In that case, the King of Jin can tell His Majesty about this matter. If His Majesty wants my Cui family to borrow weapons, then my Cui family will use anything to borrow weapons!"

Cui Xuanlan said quickly.

"That's fine too!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

"Thank you King Jin!"

Cui Xuanlan was overjoyed.

After eating, Cui Xuanlan did not leave, but directly moved into Cui Hongmo's small house.

"Sanlang, if this is difficult, don't worry about hurting Aye's face and offending His Majesty!"

After Cui Xuanlan left, Cui Mi said worriedly.

"Mi'er, there is no need to worry. This king is just passing a message to His Majesty and acting as an intermediary. Besides, there are so many vassal states around the Tang Dynasty, and it is also management if those barbarian hozen manage it. And if I let my family of the Tang Dynasty manage it, it will also be management. Management, for me, Datang, is beneficial and harmless!"

Li Xuan said in relief.

"That's good!"

Hearing this, Cui Mi also breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, Cui Mi was sent upstairs.

Li Xuan asked Li Chang to call Li Chengqian.

During this period of time, Li Chengqian and Cheng Chusi directly brought several old farmers from their respective villages to Lijiazhuang, and followed a group of farmers in Lijiazhuang to learn how to pickle dried cucumbers and other vegetables.

"Master, you are looking for me!"

After a while, Li Chengqian walked in.

"The Cui family in Qinghe wants to ask His Majesty to borrow some weapons to attack those barbarian countries. You can tell His Majesty to see if His Majesty is willing to borrow some weapons from the Cui family, or what do you want to borrow from the Cui family? Weapons?"

Li Xuan said straight to the point.

"Master, the Cui family asked the court to borrow weapons?"

After listening, Li Chengqian looked surprised, "How could they have such an idea?"

"The Jinyang Wang family said they were exterminated, so they were exterminated. Why are they not in a hurry?"

Li Xuan sneered, "Besides, what's wrong with conquering a country of barbarians and making them kings and emperors?"

"But they are a thousand-year-old powerful family, and they pass on the fragrance of books!"

Li Chengqian still didn't understand.

"fart!"

Li Xuan was speechless for a while.

"Master?"

Li Chengqian was taken aback.

"Bringing the fragrance of books to the family, when the Sui Dynasty was overthrown, these families could pull out tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to help the Li family?"

Li Xuan said mockingly: "By passing on the fragrance of books, each of these aristocratic families has so many family guards? Moreover, passing on the fragrance of books, each of their aristocratic families is doing business. Half of the descendants of the aristocratic family have entered the court as officials to seek various personal interests for their aristocratic family?"

"You have to remember that every family puts interests first. If there is no interest, where can they get the money to study? Where can they get the ability to pass on for thousands of years? This trip to Taiyuan, if it weren't for our large number of troops, or Taiyuan Zhechong Fu Duwei is His Majesty's confidant, we will inevitably be resisted by the Jinyang Wang family, and then we will have to face tens of thousands of Wang family soldiers!"

After listening, Li Chengqian was surprised.

"Okay, you can gradually learn about these things in the future. Now, you only need to inform His Majesty of the Cui family's request!" Li Xuan said.

"Yes, master, I will definitely tell Aye about this today!"

Li Chengqian hurriedly reported.

"Well, go and do your work!"

Li Xuan waved his hand in satisfaction.

Li Chengqian bowed his hands again and walked out.

Afterwards, Li Xuan gave a chuckle of satisfaction, got up, and walked towards the second floor.

night!

Inside the Hall of Two Rites.

After Li Chengqian reported the day's events, he reported to Li Shimin that the Cui family wanted to borrow weapons.

"The Cui family wants to borrow weapons from me?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help being startled.

Then, he was all smiles.

"It seems that these aristocratic families have been stimulated by Xuanba!"

"You can tell Xuanba tomorrow that I can borrow weapons, but the Cui family needs to use food to borrow weapons. The specific matters need to be discussed with the head of the Cui family!"

Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help being surprised.

"Aye, my child doesn't understand, you really borrow weapons from those aristocratic families?"

"Why not borrow it?"

Li Shimin laughed lightly, "After those aristocratic families conquered the vassal states, they were also the territory of my Tang Dynasty, but I promised to let their aristocratic families be the real kings of those vassal states.

However, the taxes they gave to Datang cannot be less than a penny. "

"Moreover, these aristocratic families are like blood-sucking cysticercosis to my Tang Dynasty. Only in this way can we drive them out of Datang!"

Regarding these, Li Chengqian was still in a daze.

……

The next day, early in the morning, Li Xuan informed Cui Xuanlan of the news.

Hearing this, Cui Xuanlan was full of excitement.

Regarding this, Li Xuan could only sigh helplessly, hoping that the Cui family would not regret their actions today.

After that, prepare ten bottles of white wine and a hundred catties of pickled cucumbers for Cui Xuanlan, and let Cui Xuanlan take them away.

When Cui Xuanlan arrived outside the Taiji Palace, there were already servants waiting for him.

Along the way, the servants led them into the Hall of Liangyi, where Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and other important officials met with Cui Xuanlan.

Then, it is to discuss the use of military weapons.

Food, money, and even which barbarian country the Cui family will attack, how many people the Cui family will remove, how much wealth will be removed, and how much food and weapons will be returned... etc. All issues need to be discussed clearly Chu.

After three consecutive days of discussion, Cui Xuanlan left Chang'an City with a relaxed expression.

In the past few days, the influence of Li Xuan not selling vegetables and not auctioning liquor finally appeared.

All the aristocratic families in Chang'an City are also like ants on a hot pot, spinning around anxiously.

Unfortunately, this time Li Xuan is determined to teach these nobles a lesson.

Li Jiazhuang can leave you and other nobles of the family, but you and other nobles of the family cannot leave Li Jiazhuang for a moment!
