Chapter 167 Li Chengqian's Victory
Li Shimin was stopped by Gao Shilian and understood the key. He felt a little sad and angry for a moment. He stared at Li Chengqian with complicated eyes for a long time before saying sadly: "Don't you really want to rebel?"
Li Chengqian sneered and said, "My son has not rebelled today, and will not rebel in the future. But does the father and son have a way out if he keeps Changsun Wuji today?"
Li Chengqian knew Changsun Wuji's power very well and could not keep him no matter what he said today.
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Changsun Wuji. When Changsun Wuji saw Li Shimin looking over, he said sincerely: "Your Majesty doesn't have to speak for the old minister... For your Majesty and for the Tang Dynasty, I am willing to die."
Li Shimin opened his mouth and couldn't say anything. He turned to look at Li Chengqian again. He really couldn't understand why Li Chengqian thought he wanted to kill him?
Li Shimin watched it for a long time and didn't know what to say.
One is his right-hand man who conquers the world and lives in the world. He has been in love with his brothers for twenty or thirty years, and the other is his eldest son. Although he wants to depose Li Chengqian's position as crown prince, he never thought of taking Li Chengqian's life.
He never thought that things would turn out like this. In Li Shimin's plan, he abandoned Li Chengqian today and asked Li Chengqian to be the King of Jiangdu and his family to go to Yangzhou to live a leisurely and prosperous life.
Then Li Zhi was appointed as the crown prince and Changsun Wuji was the prime minister, so he could do everything in the court and family.
But the result is...
"Chengqian, although Wuji is wrong, he is your uncle..."
Li Chengqian looked at the painful Li Shimin and was also worried that he would force Li Shimin to be impatient. He ordered him to depose his position as the crown prince at all costs, but today he wanted to depose himself for no reason, so he was furious.
Looking at Changsun Wuji, he said coldly: "The gentleman said: Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan. Changsun Wuji did not regard his son as his nephew, and I would not recognize him as his uncle."
When Li Shimin saw Li Chengqian so ruthless, he was heartbroken and said in a trembling voice: "Chengqian, do you still recognize your father?"
Li Chengqian was a little puzzled when he saw this, but Li Chengqian did not dare to really anger Li Shimin, so he took a deep breath, and looked sad and angry on his face. He said to Li Shimin: "Father, if you continue to keep Changsun Wuji, then one of the sons and Lao Jiu will be killed by him sooner or later."
Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this. He had seen Li Chengqian's strength today, and Li Chengqian had already killed Li Tai and could not take into account any brotherhood. If Li Chengqian wanted to kill Li Zhi again...
Li Shimin said furiously: "I am still alive in my rebellious son? Do you want to kill all your brothers?"
He really doesn't want Brother Li Chengqian to follow his old path again!
Li Chengqian was also furious when he heard this. When did I say that I was going to kill Li Zhi? He shook the stick and walked forward and shouted loudly: "Why do your father miss me so much? Besides, today, aren't you going to make Lao Jiu the crown prince?" When Li Chengqian said this, several officials showed sudden enlightenment and thought that the prince's palace was really clear and bright.
Li Chengqian, no matter what others think, continued: "Today, Changsun Wuji will not die, and his people will continue to fight with Lao Jiu and me. At that time, the court will be in chaos, Guanzhong will be in chaos, and the world will be in chaos. Our family will not have a good end..."
"Bastard!" Li Shimin really didn't expect that Li Chengqian would dare to say such words in front of everyone. This was the thing he was most reluctant to face at this moment.
"What Your Majesty's Crown Prince's Palace is also true. Changsun Wuji has ulterior motives, so he should follow..." Li Daozong immediately said after seeing the opportunity.
When Li Shimin heard this, he turned his head to look at other ministers. Seeing that Ma Zhou and others nodded silently, he also said that Changsun Wuji should be punished seriously. Li Shimin finally nodded heavily.
Looking back at Li Chengqian, he said, "Although your uncle is wrong, he is because he has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty and your mother, I cannot kill him, and you cannot kill him."
Li Chengqian felt relieved when he heard this. He knew that it would be good to let Li Shimin agree to deal with Changsun Wuji. He deliberately remained silent for a while before nodding reluctantly and said, "There is an island in Lingnan, and there is a Qiongzhou on the island. There are rich products in spring all year round and it is very suitable for retirement. Let Changsun Wuji go there to recuperate.
Changsun Chong is the son-in-law and the commander-in-law, and he cannot be filial to him. So Changsun Huan will take a few brothers to go with him!"
Everyone took a breath after hearing this. Li Chengqian wanted to drive Changsun Wuji to the ends of the world, and there was no difference between him and died.
"Chengqian!" Li Shimin wanted to say something else.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian hurriedly bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Please give the people of the Tang Dynasty the priority!"
Seeing this, Li Shimin had to lower his face and said, "Let me submit it to the Ministry of Justice for discussion first!"
Li Chengqian immediately said, "Take it!" This time he would no longer let Changsun Wuji think about his past behind closed doors at home.
Seeing this, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian deeply, then took the horse and walked back, and the ministers who came with him were also hurriedly following him.
Li Chengqian and the people around him bowed and greeted each other. When everyone stood up, Zhu Suiliang said worriedly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with this. Are you..."
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Yes! I didn't expect that Your Majesty would really depose my position as the prince."
When Li Chengqian said this, he looked up at the confidants in front of him and asked, "What do you think about His Majesty?"
Zhu Suiliang and Xu Jingzong looked at each other, but they didn't know how to answer for a while.
Li Chengqian thought of Li Shimin's expression before leaving, took a deep breath and said thoughtfully: "Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world has been in chaos, and the Chinese people have not had a few days of stable life. It is not easy for me to have the current situation in the Tang Dynasty. We must not be ruined by others!"
When Zhu Suiliang and others heard this, they hurriedly bowed and said, "I will definitely advise Your Majesty to change your mind."
Li Chengqian nodded, took the test paper from Zhu Suiliang, opened it and saw that they were still considerate, so he handed it to Zhu Suiliang and said, "Mr. Zhu and a few gentlemen, go back and prepare for tomorrow's list. Things are more grand."
Zhu Suiliang took the test paper and bowed to Li Chengqian again and said, "I will leave!"
Li Chengqian looked at them turning around and waved to the other side of the wooden tower. Lao Gui and Cheng Wu ran over quickly, supporting Li Chengqian from left to right.
Li Chengqian was helped by him and walked slowly to the under the wooden tower to find a place to sit down, showing a tired look.
Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, and Qiu Shenji were all standing in front of Li Chengqian and looking at him worriedly. Xue Rengui looked at Li Chengqian with exhausted expression, and felt angry and said with hatred: "Your Highness the Crown Prince cannot let these traitors go like this time!"
Li Chengqian looked at Qiu Shenji and said, "It's time to deal with these people. Before the imperial court's will to reduce the tenant rent, let all the people follow the Xianyang method and copy the homes of these people to the orphan king."
Su Dingfang felt distressed when he heard this. This was a direct war with the entire Guanzhong gentry!
But after hearing Li Chengqian's order, Qiu Shenji bowed without hesitation and said, "I obey the order!"
At this time, Li Shimin, who returned to Liangyi Hall, also received the homes of the Wei family and Dugu family, the two largest gentry families in Xianyang County. The people not only killed many members of the Wei family and Dugu family, but Liu Rengui also found out the evidence of the Wei family and Dugu family and directly sentenced them.
Immediately afterwards, the land property of the two families was confiscated, and then the tenant rent was collected based on the official land.
Li Shimin saw Liu Rengui presenting the memorial, and he felt a little scared about Li Chengqian's actions and handed the memorial to Gao Shilian powerlessly.
Gao Shilian took the memorial and opened it and looked very ugly. He was about to say something, but Li Shimin said quietly: "Go and tell people outside that if they don't agree with 30% of the rent, just wait for the land to be confiscated!"
