Li Shimin at the beginning, wanted by the whole city

Chapter 152 Preliminary Victory

The officials in charge of the six ministries of the three provinces have once again received an urgent call from His Majesty!
Everyone received the decree, dare not neglect it!
One by one immediately went straight to Tai Chi Palace.

At the same time, it is also ready for a protracted war.

After all, last time, they stayed with His Majesty for a whole night in the imperial study.

Now this is considered an experienced person.

What is different from their experienced ministers are the patriarchs of those aristocratic families!
They received His Majesty's urgent call, and each of them entered a state of confusion.

They are all human beings, so they naturally know that His Majesty's call at night is probably not good.

But they still have to go!

It's all Cui Xinghe's fault!In the past few days, their aristocratic family has never been stable or peaceful.

I saw Wang Changyuan spreading money outside his mansion.It has won a great support from the people, and they also admire Wang Changyuan's head melon seeds very much!

But if they follow suit, there must be suspicions of affectation in it.

There will definitely be a lot of gossip, these old foxes, after careful consideration, gave up their long-term plan to follow the wind.

This time Li Shimin did not wait in the imperial study room, but went directly to the Xiande Hall.

Prime Minister Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, who were closest to the Taiji Palace, were the first to arrive at the Xiande Palace.

Although Cheng Yaojin was catching up with sparks and lightning all the way, this time he was still a little behind.

This made Comrade Cheng very dissatisfied!
But seeing Li Shimin's gloomy face, Cheng Yaojin immediately turned into a good student.

The wind direction is wrong today, not the time to joke around.

Soon, officials rushed to Xiande Hall one after another.

Everyone seemed to be walking in a hurry, and Li Shimin was very satisfied with their attitude.

Relatively speaking, the patriarchs of those famous families came much slower.

But after they came to Xiande Hall, they immediately felt the same as they had guessed.

Certainly nothing good happened today.

Because Li Shimin's face was ugly, the gloomyness was not only terrifying, it was simply too terrifying.

After everyone arrived, that is to say, the officials called by Li Shimin and the heads of the famous families gathered behind the Xiande Hall.

Li Shimin used a pair of sharp eyes to scan over everyone one by one!

These dozens of important ministers have long been used to Li Shimin's sharp eyes.

But the patriarchs of those aristocratic families are sitting on pins and needles!

This guy, with murderous looks in his eyes, is too scary.

It couldn't be the one who didn't have long eyes that made Li Er angry again!

Suddenly they found a problem, a very important problem.

That is, in the camp of their aristocratic family, there is one person missing.

And the one who is rare is the one who has become so popular in the past few days, Wang Changyuan!
Suddenly, these family heads had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

That is, being invited by His Majesty Li Er today must have something to do with Wang Changyuan who has never arrived!

In terms of residence, Wang Changyuan is no farther away from Tai Chi Palace than they are.

And because of his attitude in the past few days, he was summoned by His Majesty.

Why don't you come all the way with sparks and lightning!

It will definitely not look like this now, it has been a long time coming!
Suddenly, outside the Hall of Xiande, hurried and chaotic footsteps sounded, moreover mixed with the sound of carriages.

Li Shimin's face became more and more serious at this time!

He naturally knew that it was Zhao Si and Feng Wu who had returned.

Zhao Si and Feng Wu walked into the Xiande Hall with great strides.

"Your Majesty, in Wang Changyuan's house, thousands of sets of weapons and mysterious armor were found!"

"Now he has admitted that he and Cui Xinghe are one of the masterminds behind the scenes. They planned the night attack on the barracks together."

"And Wang Changyuan admitted that Cui Yingying was strangled to death by himself, and even Wang Jiang and Wang He were killed by him, because he was worried that the three of them would reveal the secret between him and Cui Xinghe!"

The words of Zhao Si and Feng Wu are undoubtedly equivalent to dropping a blockbuster in the Xiande Palace!
What immediately blows everyone up is dizziness and confusion.

Oh my god!

Wang Changyuan is also one of the rebels.Just one Cui Xinghe is enough to discredit their family.

Now add Wang Changyuan.

No wonder His Majesty looked at them like a knife.

This is to doubt whether there are people like Cui Xinghe and Wang Changyuan in their big families.

It's no wonder that Li Shimin was skeptical. Think about it differently. If he was sitting in Li Shimin's position, he would feel the same way.

"Second deputy commanders, have you found anything else useful?"

This was the first time that Li Shimin directly called Zhao Si and Feng Wu as deputy commanders in public, and it could be regarded as confirming their identities.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the search of Wang Changyuan's residence is innumerable money, as well as various books and scrolls of jewelry and jade articles!"

"A preliminary estimate shows that Wang Changyuan's property is quite a bit larger than that of Cui Xinghe, perhaps a little more."

Good guy, Zhao Si and Feng Wu's answers made Li Shimin ecstatic.

Another big piece of fat was caught.

Now I can be regarded as making a lot of money.

However, although he was ecstatic in his heart, he still had a cold look on his face.

Because there are other patriarchs of famous families in Xiande Palace here!

Today we must give them a hard blow.

From now on, they have to be honest, with their tails between their legs!

"Interrogate Wang Changyuan well, make a detailed statement, and the most important thing is to ask him if he has any accomplices?"

"If he can tell the truth, I will consider giving him a lighter sentence."

"At the very least, it will end up with the Wang family, which is much better than that of the Cui family."

Upon hearing the words, Zhao Si and Feng Wu respectfully took orders and left!

Li Shimin's words sounded very different to the ears of those aristocratic family heads.

This is Chi Guoguo's distrust of them!

In fact, in the final analysis, it is understandable for Li Shimin not to trust them.

After all, in the first few years when Li Shimin took the throne, they didn't really take Li Shimin's will seriously.

At that time, Li Shimin really had no good way to deal with them!
This also fueled the arrogance of their family.

However, they wanted to break their toes, but they didn't expect Cui Xinghe to conspire to rebel!

And now even Wang Changyuan was involved.

This time, the matter exploded.

This really pierced the sky!
If Li Shimin didn't take this opportunity to hit their aristocratic family hard, then he wouldn't be called Li Shimin anymore.

As for how to attack, only Li Shimin himself knows.

The patriarchs of the aristocratic family were all sincere and fearful, thinking uneasily in their hearts.

When they were thinking uneasily, Li Shimin spoke first.

"You patriarchs, have you thought about it clearly?"

"Zhen, I will give you a chance today, a chance to confess and be lenient!"

"As long as you seize the opportunity well, I can let the past go, the premise is that you must explain everything clearly!"

Li Shimin looked at these patriarchs coldly, and said!
The patriarchs of these aristocratic families looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes!

How can they explain it?
Now Cui Xinghe is dead, and Wang Changyuan is in prison!
However, they really did not participate in the rebellion!

And they don't even know it!

So, what is His Majesty asking them to explain?
They are really confused!
Even Prime Minister Fang Xuanling and others were speculating about His Majesty's intentions.

Naturally, they quickly thought of why His Majesty did this.

It was nothing more than taking this opportunity to beat them hard.

Let the aristocratic family keep their tails between their legs and behave honestly!

In the future, if their people want to gain a foothold in the court, it will be a bit more difficult.

Prime Minister Fang Xuanling saw that the atmosphere in Xiande Hall was too embarrassing.

The main reason is that His Majesty's face is still so gloomy that water drips out.

The patriarchs of the aristocratic family looked at a loss.

If this continues, even the dozen or so important ministers will be embarrassed.

Prime Minister Fang Xuanling is such a smart person!

As the prime minister, it's time to stand up and resolve the embarrassment of Xiande Palace.

So he turned around and faced the patriarchs of the family.

"Old Lu, why don't you show your attitude quickly, don't you want His Majesty to wait until dawn?"

Prime Minister Fang Xuanling said to Lu Guiling, the patriarch of the Lu clan!
This Lu Guiling was not given in vain. A word from Prime Minister Fang Xuanling made him wake up immediately.

"Your Majesty, my Lu family will never rebel. Starting today, I will dedicate half of all Lu's properties to the imperial court!"

Good guy, Lu Guiling knew if there was one as soon as he opened his mouth!

Part of half of all industries!
This is an incredible amount of wealth, compared to what they did in front of Li Shimin before!
This time it can be said to be bleeding profusely.

Li Shimin looked at Prime Minister Fang Xuanling with a very appreciative look.

When he heard Lu Guiling's words, he was also very excited and happy.

Half of Lu's property is enough to make Li Shimin jealous!
However, now is not the time to laugh.

You should keep a straight face, you must continue to keep a straight face!
What's more, he is now an emperor who is not short of money.

Only from the time when he became acquainted with Mr. Chu, he can be regarded as walking on the golden road.

What's more, the Cui family ransacked their home a few days ago, but they harvested three big mountains, gold, silver and copper coins.

Li Shimin did not answer Lu Guiling's words, but looked at the other patriarchs!

His eyes are still as sharp as knives!
If these aristocratic patriarchs don't know what to do next, then they will be in their current position in vain.

The situation is stronger than people, not to mention that Lu Guiling has already taken the lead.

If they don't make a statement, that sentence of rebellion is not something they can bear.

Compared with the situation of Cui Xinghe and Wang Changyuan, they are already happy enough to be able to stand in the Hall of Xiande now.

What money is not money?Nothing matters!
Several patriarchs of the family looked at each other, and immediately saw the meaning of compromise in each other's eyes.

Thus, a scene that had not been seen for many years appeared in Xiande Hall!
The heads of several great families bowed down and bowed down one after another.

"Your Majesty, we are willing to dedicate half of the industrialists to the imperial court!"

"In the future, people from the aristocratic family will no longer participate in the affairs of the court!"

"If there is any violation, I am willing to accept any punishment from Your Majesty!"

The second sentence is the key point, and it is also what Li Shimin is thinking about.

Now that they could understand this step, Li Shimin's expression softened a lot in an instant.

"Get up!"

"The auxiliary machine has always had a good relationship with them. Let the auxiliary machine handle the division of the industry."

Li Shimin's words made Changsun Wuji blush!

Strictly speaking, I am also from a family, but you are also from a family, Your Majesty!

However, Changsun Wuji did not dare to neglect the task assigned by His Majesty, and immediately agreed to it.

"You guys said today that there are people who belong to aristocratic families in this court. The important thing is that people from Cui Xinghe and Wang Changyuan must be eradicated!"

"As for the few of you, I will arrange for them to take up positions according to their abilities!"

Li Shimin's words made Lu Guiling and others breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, no one was killed with a stick!
That official was from a family, so it was basically obvious.

As for the deeper hidden ones, only their patriarch level knows!

But today the general trend is gone, and it doesn't make any sense to keep a few hidden ones.

And as for Li Shimin's Baiqisi spies, if they investigate seriously, none of them can really escape!
Tonight's Xiande Hall was completely lively.

The scene became the scene of the denunciation and exposure of the patriarchs of the aristocratic family!
And it wasn't just Wang Changyuan and Cui Xinghe who they reported.

Even their own people did not let go.

This time, Li Shimin's expression completely eased down!
Don't think that he has no bottom in his heart!

The lists that came out of their mouths were basically in Li Shimin's key list.

However, there are still a few officials who hide too deeply.

Li Shimin was also quite surprised.

And there are many positive and talented people among them.

"My dear friends, I think that there are still many available people for these officials. As long as they can focus on the sake of the people of the Tang Dynasty in the future and share the worries of the court, I can let the past go!"

Li Shimin looked at the dozen or so important ministers under him and said!
Li Shimin is such a person, even Wei Zheng, who is next to Prince Li Jiancheng, dares to reuse him.

For these officials who are attached to the family, what is he afraid to use!

What's more, the reason why some officials are attached to the family is because there is no way, it is all caused by the system at that time.

This made Li Shimin hear Chu Sheng's comments about the family.

Really hit the nail on the head!
"Okay, step back! As long as you really don't have the heart to rebel, there will always be a place for you in Chang'an City!"

"The size of this seat depends on your respective performance and attitude."

"Because the incident between Cui Xinghe and Nawang Changyuan has extremely bad influence and serious consequences, so I will focus on taking care of the family. Go back and wait for the news!"

The patriarchs of the aristocratic family bowed respectfully and bid farewell.

Li Shimin looked at their lonely figures one by one, and felt so happy in his heart!

"My dear friends, it's time for us to discuss the next thing."

As soon as the patriarchs left, Li Shimin's face softened immediately.

In front of these important ministers, Li Shimin didn't need to keep a cold face.
