The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 406 It's Just a Beat

"So that's the case, Li Chengqian is a bit too cruel, right?" At this time, no one did not understand what the so-called superfluous was.

The real purpose of Li Chengqian's play was to make Zheng Canghai and the others deny that they sent out the person who made the big bet.

Because Li Chengqian bet that they dare not admit it, and it was just as Li Chengqian expected.They really dare not admit it.

Therefore, the large sum of money in the hands of those people is suspected to be of unknown origin, and Li Chengqian can naturally arrest them and bring them to justice.

At that time, if they are randomly convicted, those people will probably die in prison.It can be regarded as a wake-up call for these aristocratic families.

Just when several patriarchs were crying and sighing, Chang Sun Chong actually came to see him.Hearing that the eldest grandson is coming, naturally he can't be turned away.

Not long after, Chang Sun Chong walked in, holding a food box in his hand.And said with a smile on his face: "His Royal Highness is afraid that the Patriarchs will not be happy with each other. Let me bring you a few bottles of Zhenguan Zui, a rare edition."

"Furthermore, His Royal Highness the Xian Wang also said that after several Patriarchs drink this rare version of Zhenguanzui, they should know that they have done it."

After speaking, Chang Sun Chong put down the food box, bid farewell to everyone, turned and left the station.All that was left were the puzzled expressions of several families.

Seeing the back of Chang Sun Chong leaving, Zheng Lun gritted his teeth and said: "The cat cries and the mouse pretends to be merciful."

At the same time, the Patriarch of the Li family in Zhaojun had already brought out Zhenguanzui.At the same time, a letter was found in the food box.

"Everyone, this must be what Li Chengqian said. After reading it, we will understand what to do." The Patriarch of the Li family in Zhaojun tore up the letter while speaking.

It's okay if you don't read it, but after reading it, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.With trembling hands, he handed the letter to Zheng Canghai and said, "It seems that we underestimated this Li Chengqian."

After passing the letter for a while, all the people present couldn't help but be dumbfounded, sitting on the spot like wooden carvings.

After a long time, the Patriarch of the Li family in Longxi said, "What you said is true. This is to save us face and inheritance. Otherwise, I'm afraid we would already be sleeping on the streets by now."

"That's why I decided that I will no longer be involved in your affairs in the future. Remember to call me when you drink, and you don't have to look for me for other things."

After finishing, he turned around to bid farewell to everyone, and left Chang'an City that day with his entourage, returning to Longxi.

Not only did the Li family in Longxi leave, even the head of the Li family in Zhao County bid farewell to everyone.Although not as straightforward as the head of the Li family in Longxi said, everyone understood his intentions.

Now in the post station arranged by Li Shimin, only the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang and some heads of small and medium-sized families are left.

Moreover, these people are all centered on the Zheng family in Xingyang, so it is naturally impossible for them to turn around and leave.The other families have long been empty.

It turned out that Li Chengqian made it clear in the letter that if Li Shimin hadn't remembered the old relationship, he didn't want them to lose too badly.Then it will definitely not be the ending now.

Moreover, Li Chengqian directly explained his original plan.Originally, Li Chengqian planned to take this opportunity to completely cut off the foundation of these aristocratic families.

Because they have denied that they are the ones who made the bet, then Li Chengqian can treat them as traitors or foreign spies.

At that time, no matter how much money they win, this obedient one will spit it out.And even the principal of the bet can't get back a penny.

In this way, although the five surnames and seven cases won, they still did not get back a loss in the end.And also accompanied by his family's ancestral home.

Looking at the people leaving, Zheng Canghai slammed Li Chengqian's letter on the table.And he gritted his teeth and said: "I, Zheng Canghai, will take back the enemy today even more in the future."

……

"Brother, why did you change your mind midway. Why don't you win all their houses?" Li Ke asked Li Chengqian.

"Father means to beat them, as long as they know how to restrain themselves, that's fine. After all, it's not the time to completely break with them."

"Of course, if they don't know how to restrain themselves and still act recklessly, then it will be more than just being homeless." Li Chengqian said after drinking a glass of wine.

"Father is not as decisive as elder brother. If elder brother is in charge of today's matter, there is no need to restrain himself in the future." Li Tai said after curling his lips.

As soon as Li Tai finished speaking, he saw Li Zhi licking his mouth with a brush in his hand.Then I started to write like a dragon and a phoenix on the paper.

And while writing, he said to himself: "When I hand this to the father, do you think the father can give me some reward?"

It turned out that Li Zhi actually recorded what Li Tai said clearly.And he was going to take it to Li Shimin to ask for credit.

And in order to prevent Li Tai from denying his account, Li Zhi even asked several other brothers to sign for him as a guarantee.This made Li Tai very angry.

Without a word, he rushed forward to grab it, but Li Zhi put on a posture and said: "As long as you can beat me, fourth brother, this is yours."

Li Tai stood there for a long time, but he didn't catch up to fight Li Zhi. After all, he knew the result of being beaten when he went up.More importantly, this brother of mine will never show mercy to his subordinates.

At this moment, Cheng Chuhuan rushed in in a hurry.And said to Li Chengqian: "Hurry up, Sister Wan is about to give birth."

Li Chengqian, who was watching Li Tai and Li Zhi playing tricks, drank the fine wine in his glass with a smile on his face.Now that I heard Cheng Chuhuan's words, I really couldn't sit still anymore.

Putting down the wine glass, stood up and ran towards Yiqiu Palace, and shouted to Li Tai and the others while running: "Hurry up and tell the queen mother that she is going to be a grandma."

……

"Emperor... Your Majesty, congratulations... happy event... happy event." Wang De ran into the Ganlu Hall with a smile on his face, and stammered to Li Shimin before he even had time to catch his breath.

"What do you look like in a panic? Why are you becoming more and more unstable." Li Shimin said after glaring at Wang De.

"Your Majesty, it's not that this old slave is not stable. It's that this matter is really not stable." Wang De said with a smile on his face.

"Then I really want to hear it. What is it that makes our prince unsteady?" Li Shimin said with a mocking expression on his face.

"Just now, Concubine Xian gave birth to a baby boy. Your Majesty, you are already a grandpa." Wang De said to Li Shimin.

"What you said is true, that's great. Go pick out a decent gift right away, and go to the East Palace with me." Li Shimin also said happily.
