Pei Xingjian endured it for a while and then said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't mean this. I think that raiding the house is a heavy punishment for the court. You asked a group of hungry people to do it, but the etiquette was not in line with. Moreover, those hungry people did too much, and the homes of these gentry have almost been destroyed."

Li Chengqian's face suddenly became cold and he asked coldly: "What have they done?"

Pei Xingjian was young at this time, and after Li Chengqian had long accumulated power, his tone immediately became soft after being asked this.

"Your Highness, these hungry people don't know anything. They will destroy good things when they see them. A few people have to sleep on the embroidered bed. When they see good silk and satin, they either trashed or torn it. Some people wear them directly, and there are some people - some people rape the female family of the gentry. Isn't this the act of a thief?"

At the end, Pei Xingjian spread his hands together, as if he wanted to throw all this on Li Chengqian.

After hearing this, Li Chengqian thought about it and ordered outside the door loudly: "Wang Fangyi!"

"I'm here!" Wang Fangyi responded outside the door.

"You bring a team of cavalry to implement military law, and put the bandits who raped women on the spot to preach the Dharma, and spread the heads to the public."

"Abide by the order!" Wang Fangyi said.

Li Chengqian paused and said sternly: "But no matter what others say, no matter what the Lone King's orders are, don't worry about it."

"I obey the order!" Wang Fangyi received the order again.

"Go!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince--" Pei Xingjian became increasingly unable to understand Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian raised his hand to stop him, took a deep breath and said, "The Lone King captured all the rich gentry and gentry in Yichuan County. What would the rich gentry and gentry in other places think?

Not to mention the distance, just talk about how many gentry families around Luoyang City have been passed down for hundreds of years?

If they unite, this power will be very great."

"So I think the rebellion against the gentry of Yichuan should be circulated in the world so that everyone in the world can know their rebellious behavior. Then the court appeases the gentry in various places, and I think there will be no trouble." Pei Xingjian hurriedly gave his opinion.

Li Chengqian looked at Pei Xingjian's eyes after hearing this. After looking at his eyes, he saw that his eyes were always clear and sincere. Then he sighed and said, "If you hadn't been following Gu Wang all the time, Gu Wang would have thought you were a spy sent by someone else."

Pei Xingjian asked with a frightened look on his face and said, "Why did Your Highness the Crown Prince say this?"

"Do you know why all the rich gentry in Yichuan County rebelled?"

Pei Xingjian:...

Li Chengqian asked and answered: "Because the orphan king's decree hurt their interests."

Pei Xingjian was speechless again.

This matter is unsolvable. If a country wants to be prosperous and strong, the most basic condition is unity. If it wants to be united, it must suppress all kinds of separatist forces.

The thousand-year-old family, which considers themselves superior and privileged, is the largest separatist force invisible to the court.

Where they are under their jurisdiction, it is difficult for the imperial court to continue to implement the government orders, and Li Chengqian and the aristocratic clans are naturally enemies.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, are your supporters in scamming these people's houses, but you cannot act according to etiquette because of their crimes."

Pei Xingjian continued to persuade.

Li Chengqian sighed deeply and said meaningfully: "Pei Xingjian, you will be beaten to death when you debate like this!"

"ah?"

Pei Xingjian was once again frightened and looked at Li Chengqian with a pale face.

"Everything you said from the moment you entered is your excuse. If anyone does such an errand will do such a thing. If the Lone King sent troops from nearby governments to search the house, the rape may not beheaded easily.

After all, you just can't stand the hungry people's homes of the gentry.

But the Lone King now wants to tell you clearly that if the Tang Dynasty wants to have a prosperous country and the people, everything must be dominated by the court, and all directions in the world shall be subject to the imperial orders.

If the gentry from all over the country still wanted to live like this, it would be no difficult to go overseas and occupy a small island to establish a thousand-year-old family.

Either listen to the imperial orders honestly, otherwise the gentry in Yichuan County will be their fate. The court officials or the imperial soldiers will not be used to take action, but the civilians they usually oppress and exploit.

These ordinary people naturally have conflicts with the gentry and have an advantage in numbers. As long as the lonely king supports the ordinary people, something like this will happen in Yichuan County today.

Moreover, these ordinary people and gentry could never buy them because the money and land they took out were definitely not as much as they were sent out.

Do you think the reasons you just mentioned can still be valid if this kind of thing involves the thousand-year national policy of the Tang Dynasty?"

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Pei Xingjian was silent for a long time before asking with difficulty: "Is this the Prince's theory of the yin and yang contradiction?"

Li Chengqian looked at him and nodded.

"I admire you!" Pei Xingjian bowed and bowed.

"You go back and think about it carefully, whether you should continue to serve the Tang Dynasty and the Orphan King in the future." After saying that, Li Chengqian sat down and looked at the document in his hand.

Traveling in Luoyang.

When Li Zhi asked for a meeting, Li Shimin and his ministers were stunned.

When Li Zhi asked for a meeting at this time, people could not help but think about it.

Although the Tang Dynasty allowed princes to attend court, they still could not interfere when encountering the national political affairs. Moreover, this matter involved the prince of the regent, and Li Zhi's identity was very sensitive.

"King Xuan Jin entered the palace." Li Shimin calmed down his mood and said calmly.

"Son, please see your father!" Li Zhili bowed deeply.

"Yeah!" Li Shimin waited for him to speak.

Li Zhi looked at Li Shimin's expressionless face carefully, a little scared, and calmed down a little, then he said gingerly: "My son knows that his father is talking about political affairs here, so he shouldn't disturb him."

"No, you are the prince. You are already seventeen years old and can participate." Li Shimin said lightly.

Li Zhi felt chill when he heard this, but when he thought that after this, Li Chengqian would lose the hearts of the people, he calmed down and said what he thought of.

"I heard from my father, so I came to ask for it at this time. I just heard a message and I really dared not to report to my father."

"What's the matter?" Li Shimin was still unmoved.

"My elder brother is now in Yichuan County, with only three hundred Eastern Palace guards by his side. The people in Yichuan and Songxian have rebelled because the imperial court wanted to build a reservoir. My elder brother is very dangerous now." After Li Zhi said that, tears came down.

Li Shimin was startled when he heard this, and soon calmed down. He asked with a calm expression: "How did you know?"

Li Zhi looked at Li Shimin in shock when he heard this. With his understanding of Li Shimin, Li Chengqian should be in a hurry to send troops to rescue him when he encounters danger!

Why are you still so calm?

"How did you know?" Li Shimin asked in a stressed tone.

"Your Majesty, it's better to send troops to ask the Crown Prince as soon as possible!" Liu Shi couldn't help but say.

Li Zhi hurriedly followed, "Yes! Father, my son thought-"

"You talk first, how did you know about this?" Li Shimin was still unmoved.

Seeing that he couldn't hide, Li Zhi said hesitantly: "I had a conflict with the guards from Zhou Jin and Xing's guards in front of the door. They were arrested."

Li Shimin took a deep breath after hearing this and said, "You go down!"
