Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

Before Li Shimin said that someone was behind this large-scale corruption, Zhang Nuo only half believed it, because he felt that there was no need for others to organize it. It is not normal for an official to be greedy for money.

This time, it was just that Li Shimin caught everyone by surprise, otherwise, such a large-scale corruption would never have been detected.

But Li Shimin just believed in his intuition and thought there was a problem. Anyway, there are many people under his command, so he should check it out.

But even he didn't expect that such a result was found out in the end.

In fact, he secretly thought in his heart that this time there is such a big commotion, the transportation and sale of grain in the middle will require manpower and connections, otherwise, a large amount of grain will be transported on the road, passing through so many places, without the help of the local government If so, I really think others are fools.

But these people just did it!

Before, Li Shimin thought it was done by a certain family or even several of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs. After all, in his opinion, this group of people had no awe of the imperial court at all, and they even wished that the people's grievances would prevent him from stepping down. These people have been operating in the local area for many years, and things like covering up the traces of a few caravans can't be easier.

But in the end, Wu Xing Qiwang was very honest this time, but the saint who was hiding in Shandong jumped out.

This is really unexpected!

Zhang Nuo didn't speak because he was completely dumbfounded. Fuck, there was indeed a drought this year in history, and the roads in Hebei were indeed quite serious, but he didn't know whether the old Kong family was involved in it or not. what.

So he couldn't figure out whether it was the flapping of his butterfly's wings or it happened in history, or it was just because there was no telegram and a thorough investigation that he didn't find it.

However, he is very clear about one thing, that is, regardless of the reputation of the old Confucian family, such as the master of Confucianism and the family of saints, in fact, these children are no different from the children of wealthy families in those places. Few, not to mention extravagance and extreme desire, but in fact, few of the children of the old Confucius family are academically famous.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo really didn't have a good impression of this family, at least in his impression that the old Kong family seemed to be the first to kneel down during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

If Zhang Nuo just lamented that he had discovered the true face hidden by the old Kong family, then Li Shimin really gritted his teeth.

Zhang Nuo didn't know, but in fact, the close ministers, especially the old courtiers from the Qin Palace knew very well that the old Kong family had always looked down on the present Majesty.

When Lao Li was the King of Qin, the old Confucius family said that the King Qin was too murderous to be an emperor. He said that at that time, Lao Li wished to use a knife to kill those bastards. Probably not bloody hands.

Afterwards, Lao Li finally snatched the throne by himself, and he was also slandering nonsense about being in an improper position. He didn't find any particularly good excuses, Li Shimin definitely ordered the old Kong's family to be ransacked and exterminated early.

But he never calculated that the old Confucian family was so arrogant. To put it bluntly, rebellion is better than collusion with foreigners.

The so-called literati's character and the so-called sage's family seem to be all nonsense, and in the end they are no match for the temptation of yellow and white things. Perhaps in the eyes of the old Kong family, even if Li Shimin knows about this, as long as the old Kong family knows about it, then as long as the old Confucius It's fine if the clothes are soft.

Not to mention that Li Shimin may not be able to find out, so why not do it, the benefits here are not ordinary, after all, the funds for purchasing grain are all from Tubo and Turks, and they must have paid for it. Benefits come.

And the purchased grain can be sold again, even to Turks and Tubo, not to mention the price, how much is it inside and out.

However, all of this is based on one premise, that is, Li Shimin did not find out about this matter, or even if it was found out, Li Shimin was not prepared to make a big move against the old Kong family.

But Li Shimin will really be indifferent to the old Kong family. Does Li Shimin really have the guts to kill people?

Chapter 647 Li Shimin's Murderous Intent

On the surface, Li Shimin's murderous intentions were indeed covered up very well. Whether it was Li Jiancheng's loyal subordinate Wei Zheng or Li Yuan's old courtiers, Li Shimin did not kill.

Even if Pei Ji, who was Li Shimin's confidant Liu Wenjing, was killed, Li Shimin let Li Yuan off for the sake of Li Yuan's face, and of course he didn't let him continue to hang out in the court.

But just like that, many people outside are already lamenting Li Shimin's generosity.

But in fact, is Li Shimin really not serious about killing?

Shit!

People really close to Li Shimin like Zhang Nuo and Empress Changsun knew that Li Shimin cursed after drinking, and even went out to kill people with a knife when he was drunk, and they saw it not once or twice.

Especially in front of Zhang Nuo, Li Shimin completely let go of his emperor airs, and directly admitted many times that he planned to cut down the old Pei family himself.

So, it's not that Lao Li has no intention to kill, let alone that he has no guts to kill. He just has scruples. After all, if a general who can lead an army to conquer the great Tang Dynasty has no murderous intent, how can he deter those arrogant soldiers? Titans?

So when Zhang Nuo heard Lao Li's gnashing of teeth, he really didn't show any surprise at all!

"Brother, how do you think we're going to kill those rotten Confucians? I'm going to kill them all at once!"

Zhang Nuo loosened the bun on his head casually. It's really painful to grow hair on this hot day. It's okay to have an air conditioner, but it's too hot without an air conditioner. He fanned himself while talking nonsense. replied,

"The old Confucian family is easy to solve, but what do you plan to do with Turks and Tubo? Those two are the troublesome things. We originally planned to attack Turks next year!"

Li Shimin fell silent when he heard this, and first waved his hand to let the Baiqisi spy, who was already sweating like rain, go out first, and then the spy probably knelt down after listening to it, damn it, two conspirators are hiding here He wants to kill the whole family and go to war with two countries. Is this kind of secret he can listen to?

Baiqisi's spies are naturally trustworthy, but it is precisely because they have been exposed to too many secrets that they are very clear about it. The more they know, the faster they die, especially things that they should not know. After knowing it, I wish I could forget it on the spot.

After Baiqisi's spies went out, Li Shimin stared blankly at Zhang Nuo and asked directly,

"Then if we go to war directly this year, are we sure?"

"Fight Turks or fight Tubo, or both fight together?"

"Let's fight the Turks. As long as the Tubo side is on guard, although we can't attack, they can't come down either!"

"If you just fight Turkic, you can fight naturally, but it's just a bit difficult, it's not a big problem!"

"Really?"

"More real than real gold!"

The answers of both of them were very straightforward, without the usual detours between monarchs and ministers, just the naked idea of ​​killing Turks, but the two of them were very used to it.

They have always been like this. They talk about small things well and seriously, but they finish talking about big things in a few words, but in fact, to put it bluntly, this is all a manifestation of strength. You only need to consider whether it is worth it or not, and whether the cost is high, and you don't have to think about whether you can win or not.

In fact, the Turks are easy to say, and Tubo is not too troublesome. In other words, after the rapid development of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has already distanced itself from other countries.

In the past, it was only a country on one level, but the strength of the country was a little different, but now it has gradually become a country in two dimensions.

After all, one is about to enter the period of the rapid industrial revolution, and the other has just left slash-and-burn farming not long ago. It is simply the crushing of primitive people by modern people.
