Bringing the list on, Li Chao went directly to the palace.

Li Shimin was following Chengqian, Empress Changsun, Li Tai, Li Ke and Li Kuan, and his family were simmering hot pot. Since coming to Xiangyang, Li Shimin often had to share the hardships with the people, eating locust cakes and wild vegetable paste. This image of the wise king stood up, but there were some sequelae, which was suffering from his mouth and stomach.

Today, Cheng Qian made a leg of lamb, and then arranged to make a mutton hotpot for Li Shimin and his wife, and his brothers. Li Shimin was moved by the prince's filial piety. He rarely put down his official duties and helped the prince with the queen. He cut mutton and made hotpot base and side dishes.

After a long time of work, the family finally had mutton hotpot.

"I am not as good as Qiao Wenyuan, who came here, sat down the mutton hotpot together, the prince Renxiao, today I personally have me, the queen and his younger brothers and sisters to prepare this pot. I am very moved, so you can eat it together."

Li Chao refused with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I just ate roasted pork belly at home. Halfway through eating it, I encountered a big incident, which was too serious. I had to come and disturb Your Majesty's family happiness."

Li Shimin slowly put away the smile on his face. If Li Chao said something too serious, it must be extremely serious.

He got up and said, "Let's go there and talk."

The two sat on the other side of the coffee table, and Empress Changsun also put down her chopsticks and came over to pour a cup of tea for her husband and in-law Li Chao.

"Thank you, Empress."

Changsun smiled slightly and was very generous, "You monarch and ministers are talking about politics slowly, so I will accompany the prince and the others to continue to sautify the mutton."

Li Chao didn't dare to look at Empress Changsun's back.

In fact, Empress Changsun is the kind of person who doesn’t want to commit crimes, but she always feels like a big sister next door. She has unique temperament, is very knowledgeable and understanding, and getting along with such a person will make people calm and calm. Li Chao knows that her nickname is Guanyinbi, but he doesn’t know her name.

She didn't think about exploring the name of a woman's boudoir in this era, and it was quite rude to explore randomly, let alone exploring the name of a queen.

"Your Majesty is such a blessing. I am envious of marrying such a virtuous and kind woman from the Queen."

Li Shimin snorted angrily, "Cui is also a famous woman who is a polite family, but what about you? You are so romantic and romanced!"

Li Chao had to bow his head to accept it when he was trained by the emperor. His underground relationship with Li Xiuning has been slowly untied. Li Yuan knew, Cui Yingying knew, and Li Shimin knew, and now many people in Xiangyang know.

This incident is a recent news, and those officials and nobles have often used this matter as topics. When Li Shimin learned about this, he was as annoyed as Li Yuan.

Especially when they knew that Li Xiuning had decided to be Li Chao's lover in the future, they became more and more annoyed. But they were useless to be angry, and Li Xiuning was a turtle and was determined to be a turtle.

In fact, even if Li Xiuning did not insist on this matter, Li Shimin didn't know what to do. Will a confidant official like Li Chao finally force Li Chao to divorce his wife because of his romantic affairs? Or is he going to give Cui a suicide? With his understanding of Li Chao, this matter is simply impossible.

Li Chao would not divorce his wife, and if he dared to commit suicide by giving Cui, Li Chao would probably fight him to the death, and it would be possible to go against the sky.

Therefore, if you hate him, you will be angry after hatred, and you will only be sulking.

Li Shimin was angry for several days, but was finally persuaded by the queen. Since the princess herself was willing to choose such a result, how could they be too involved with outsiders?

It is said that there is love to drink water, and the princess doesn’t care about her reputation, and Li Chao does have feelings for the princess. How can outsiders say everything about it?

"Tell me, what is it?" Li Shimin was angry at a topic, and he had no good expression. "Your Majesty, it is a big deal. How many 100 major families in Xiangfan want to make trouble."

"Strike a rebellion? What's going on in the big family in Xiangfan City?" Li Shimin felt puzzled, why did this happen suddenly? And he didn't hear any news in advance.

And it shouldn't be. Now that he is stationed in Xiangyang, the court has upgraded Xiangyang Prefecture to Xiangyang Prefecture, and Li Chao, the governor, has also been promoted to prefect. In fact, Xiangyang City is equivalent to the original Jingzhao Prefecture of Chang'an. Not only has the level been upgraded, but the number of troops in Xiangyang, various defenses, public security, etc. have been upgraded to several levels.

Just because of a group of big families in Xiangyang City, do they want to make trouble?

Just kidding, what can they do?

Li Chao took out the list and handed it over.

Each signature and red handprint, with names and surnames on it. They are famous gentry in Xiangyang. Some of them have been met by Li Shimin.

"What's going on?" Li Shimin asked with a faint face. Even if there are a hundred local small wealthy families who really want to make trouble, since they have discovered it, it will not be a threat. What Li Shimin wants to know is why.

Why do these local tyrants take this step?

Li Chao also asked himself about Li Shimin's question.

On the way to Yuliangzhou, he was actually asking himself why? Actually, it was quite simple to think about it.

However, it was because of the cheese of the powerful, these people were damaged and they were reluctant to do so. They wanted to mix up the water and then take advantage of the water to fish. They said that these people wanted to rebel and overthrow the Tang Dynasty court, which was overestimating those people.

They just wanted to set fires. As for the extent of the fire after it was set, they didn't think about it or care about it. They just thought that after the fire broke out, the court would have to put out the fire, and the court would not have so much energy to take care of them.

At that time, the court might have to use their strength to eliminate all the harsh policies they have now.

In order to protect their own interests, they are willing to take risks.

It seems a bit incredible, but that's the case.

"Your Majesty, the court bought grain from the big households and the local charity granaries, and also unified the price of grain. It was even almost the same as buying all the grain merchants' grain. In addition, it was prohibited from banning usury loans in the year of disaster and not releasing relief grain to hidden households without household registration, which is considered to be a great harm to their interests."

Li Shimin frowned, "At the time of natural disasters, everyone is a difficult situation. At this time, we must work together to overcome the difficulties. They are just a small loss, but look at the overall situation. In fact, their small loss is also to prevent the world from causing greater losses to them."

"Your Majesty, some people only talk about immediate interests, but don't care about your overall situation. They only see that their food is bought and how much money they earn. After seeing that they are not allowed to lend money, they lose the opportunity to take advantage of the natural disaster to lend money to merge land and buy slaves. They will not care about the life and death of other people, nor will they care about the overall situation of the court."

Li Shimin knew this in his heart, but when he heard these powerful people, because of these new regulations of the court, they dared to make trouble and wanted to burn the granary for relief, the anger in his heart could not be calmed down.

They have touched his bottom line.

These powerful men had previously sang against Li Chao, but Li Chao just added punishment.

But this time, Li Shimin didn't plan to just let it go.

"Wen Yuan, there are ones on this, and ones on it, and I want to search all their houses and exterminate the clan!"

When a man gets angry, blood splatters five steps.

When the emperor was angry, it was blood flowing.

The emperor was really angry, that was the wrath of the real dragon.

In Xiangfan, there are more than a hundred small powerful people, maybe they are the same as the sky. But in the eyes of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, they are just a group of mantis and a group of grasshoppers. They are destroyed as soon as they are destroyed!

"Since they don't want to sacrifice even a little bit, they don't want to exist in this world. Let's go underground as companions, go to the hell!"

Li Shimin sat there, listening to the emperor's roar and complaining, and not speaking.

The emperor wanted to kill these people and confiscate their homes, but Li Chao did not persuade him.

He didn't want to persuade him at all, why did he persuade him? These people deserved the crime. Killing them can not only shock those dishonest guys, but also collect a large amount of food.

He had just agreed to give 20 million stones of relief to Henan and Hebei, but he had a shortage of 20 million stones at once. There is no shortage of food for the time being, but there must be a shortage in the future.

After Li Shimin finished scolding, Li Chao stood up.

"My minister Li Chao received the order!"

At this time, Li Shimin was a little hesitant when he heard Li Chao accept the order so simply. He thought Li Chao would persuade him.

"Do you think my decree will be too strict? More than 100 families have been searched and destroyed. Will it be too widespread?"

"Your Majesty, you should use heavy rituals in troubled times, and use heavy hammers to beat drums. Everyone is responsible for their actions. These more than 100 families are basically the powerful people who had openly opposed the government laws last time. Last time I gave them a chance and let them go with a little punishment. But now, not only did these people not repent, but also became more and more powerful. How can such people give them another chance? Given another chance, that is called indulgence. Where is the majesty of the court? Where is the discipline?"

"For these people, just sweep them all like the autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves."

Li Shimin nodded at the end, "Go!"

Li Chao said goodbye and left.

After leaving Yuliangzhou and returning to the Xiangyang Prefecture Office in Xiangyang City, Li Chao called Shangguan Yi and Wang Xuance and others, and asked them to go to various military camps to dispatch troops with the emperor's order and his order.

Zheng Ji was left in the yamen just now and was not allowed to leave. He was upset and anxious when he saw that Li Chao was about to mobilize troops as soon as he came back, and he also guessed the result.

"Prime Minister, my Zheng family really has nothing to do with this matter!"

Li Chao despises people like Zheng Ji, but on the surface he still wants to give such people some sweetness. If it weren't for this guy, Li Chao wouldn't have solved such a big case so quickly. If he couldn't pursue it, he would be able to succeed by these bastards and burn a granary or two, even if he lost a stone of relief food, it would be a loss.

"Don't worry, the Zheng family is not only innocent but also monetary, you will get the reward you deserve."

"The prime minister, don't know how the court will deal with those unrest parties?"
