God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 776 The Imperial Court Shakes
Cheng Yaojin wanted to follow, but Li Chengqian had no choice but to agree with him.

The two soon arrived at the Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin saw the two of them at a glance.

He saw Cheng Yaojin first, and said: "Zhijie, why are you back?"

It's back again, that is to say, Cheng Yaojingang left not long ago!
Then he asked Li Chengqian: "Gao Ming, what's wrong with you, you seem to be in a bad mood!"

Empress Changsun was also on the side, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid something big is about to happen."

Empress Changsun guessed right.

"My son pays homage to His Majesty and Queen Mother!"

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty and Your Highness the Queen!"

Li Chengqian was about to say something, but Cheng Yaojin was one step ahead of him and said: "Your Majesty, Yushi Cui Renshi and Zuo Sishi Lu Chengqing are trying to assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince!"

As soon as the words came out, Li Shimin slapped the table directly.

Is it really a big deal?These two people dare to do such a thing, they are really not afraid of death!

"What, where are the two of them!? I want to ask why! I'm not mean to them, but they dare to do something. It really makes people very angry!"

This is doing some shameful things under the eyes of the emperor.Li Shimin was furious.

Cheng Yaojin said again:
"Your Majesty, he has been killed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Dead? That would be too cheap for them! This one will be dead for [-] days! It's hard to say that I take it to heart!"

Li Shimin said bitterly.

This is Li Chengqian said: "Your Majesty, the matter was urgent at that time. If they hadn't died, the crown prince and concubine might have died, and so did the ministers!"

It was like this at the time, either they died or the other died, there was no room for it.

Li Shimin was angry just now, but he is better now.

"That's right! Well, it's good that people are fine!"

Isn't Li Chengqian all right?
"Your Majesty, my son came here this time to ask for something."

Li Chengqian didn't come here to talk about his assassination, but to investigate the matter in depth.

"What's the matter?"

"About the future of Cui Lu's family!"

Li Shimin sighed and said: "These two people are in vain. I value them too much. Gao Ming, what are you going to do?"

"Your Majesty, it's actually not your fault. If you want to blame it, you can blame the two aristocratic families for being too aggressive, and I feel that their strength must be weakened."

"Your Majesty, I think Gao Ming is right! These two people are probably an example."

Empress Changsun also said on the side.

Li Shimin nodded.

"About these two families, I have been thinking about how to deal with them all the time! Li Jing attacked them a while ago, and now the power of these two families is not as good as before! I thought they would stop, but in fact it is not the case Yes! Let me very chill!"

"Your Majesty, these two families are not in business, but in officialdom!"

When Li Chengqian said this, he made it very clear.

He clearly pointed the finger at officialdom.

"Then Gao Ming, what do you think we should do?"

"Announce the assassination of me to the public, and use this as an excuse to investigate the civil and military officials related to the five families of the imperial court. Pay special attention to it, and only check the rank four or above."

Why, because only the fourth rank and above are eligible to enter the imperial city, and it is impossible for other people to enter. In this way, it seems to be very safe.

Furthermore, rank four and above are also considered decision-makers, without their decision-making influence, everything will be better.

As for someone going down, someone will come up naturally. Datang is full of talents, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Li Shimin said with some worry: "If this is the case, then the entire imperial court may be shaken!"

That's not something, it's huge.

Not to mention the number of people cleaned up, it will also cause panic.

Everyone is in danger, and those who are involved with the two families will definitely cut off their backs and distinguish their relationship with them.

"Yeah, it's not even accepted. But this matter is very urgent! It can't be delayed for too long."

Empress Changsun added.

Taking advantage of this time, it would be the best to clean up with the excuse of assassinating the prince.

"Your Majesty, I think His Highness the Crown Prince is right. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Once the knife is cut down, the Tang Dynasty will be more stable in the future! It is good for the future."

If you really want to mess with you, are you afraid you won't be able to?

Feel free to accuse you of any crime, can you not step down?Moreover, it is the advantage of the imperial power to start from the top.

"Okay! Let Li Jing do this!"

Why didn't Li Shimin hand it over to Li Chengqian? First, because Li Chengqian was busy. Second, he was protecting Li Chengqian. Why?Because sometimes it will cause some unnecessary troubles, and after dealing with too many people, it will have a great impact on Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian doesn't care, as long as he handles it, it doesn't matter who comes!
"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Also, Zhijie is in charge of the safety of the East Palace for the time being! There must be no mistakes!"

Li Shimin said.

But Li Chengqian said: "Your Majesty, my son is fine, but you all need to be safe. Uncle Cheng is still in Tai Chi Palace."

It is enough for Li Chengqian to have Wang Xuance.

Cheng Yaojin also said: "Yes! His Royal Highness has recruited a new expert, and because of his protection, His Royal Highness is safe and sound."

Having said that, Li Shimin didn't say anything more.

In the next few days, the court really went as Li Chengqian had guessed.The entire imperial court was full of mourning, and at the same time, Li Chengqian also intentionally revealed that there were many available talents in the Tang Academy who were absorbed into the imperial court. The education these people received was all Xinwu education. They had less bureaucracy and more pragmatic.

And one thing that is particularly important is that they agree with Li Chengqian's policies very much.

It's just that these people just entered the imperial court, and the official positions they received were not high.

This is exactly what Li Chengqian wants to see. In the future, in the entire Tang Dynasty, there will no longer be such a big family with five surnames and seven wangs, only a class of poor people waiting to dedicate themselves.

Li Shimin also attaches great importance to the development of the situation.

He also thought that there would be some big shocks, but he didn't expect that the facts were better than imagined.

On this day, Li Chengqian and Wu Zetian were discussing some state affairs in the back garden.

Then I saw Li Ke and Li Tai rushing over.

"I've seen the big brother and the princess!"

The two saluted.

"Why are you here?"

Li Chengqian asked.

"Brother, Tai'er, Laiji and I made further improvements to the steam engine after research and applied it to the train. Now we have built a train. Please come over and have a look!"

"Have you tried it?"

"I tried it, and built a twenty-mile-long circular rail!"

"Ma'am, come with me to have a look?"

"The concubine listens to what His Highness the Prince wants."

The last time I carried Wu Zetian on a bicycle, but this time I will take her for a ride on the train.

"Okay, let's go and see!"

The points consumed during this period of time are not enough for him to use at all. After he finishes taking the train, he must put on a good dress in front of Li Shimin, and let the citizens of Datang witness it together.

So he took Wang Xuance, Xue Rengui and Su Lie with them, and went to the Science and Technology Department with them.
