Chapter 231: Total War
Using barbarians to control barbarians was the best skill that Li Tang was good at.
So Chen Zhengtai proposed to recruit Tiele people, and Li Shimin nodded without hesitation and said, "What Zhengtai said is quite reasonable, but... in the chaos, the Tiele tribe is probably killed. It is probably not easy to find the leader of the Tiele tribe."
"Mr., the students have already sent people to go deep into the desert in advance and inquire about it." Chen Zhengtai said with a smile.
Li Shimin: “…”
This Chen Zhengtai always makes him unexpected!
Li Shimin had no choice but to say, "The so-called wise man is a thousand thoughts, and Chen Zhengtai is a role model."
Li Jing and others were speechless for a moment, but they were different from Li Shimin. They didn't want to pry Chen Zhengtai's head open to see what was inside. After all... they had prepared a hundred ways to persuade him to drink, waiting for Chen Zhengtai to speak the truth after drinking, and take everyone to make a fortune.
"Your Majesty..." Cheng Yaojin said: "The most urgent task at the moment is to prepare for war and be prepared to attack the desert at any time, so as not to become a major concern at that time. The court does not have enough countermeasures. Although today is peace, for long-term stability, it is necessary to take the initiative."
Li Shimin nodded, and he glanced at the generals: "I see that you are all very excited, as if your spring is coming."
Li Jing and others were speechless, and Cheng Yaojin tried hard to wipe out tears: "Your Majesty... I am wronged. I heard that the enemy of my Tang Dynasty appeared in the desert, and I was in a state of grief."
Li Shimin glared at him.
Chen Zhengtai was by his side, feeling silly. Cheng Yaojin was so crying that he looked better than laughing.
After the discussion was settled.
Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai and said, "Zhengtai, where is the prince? I haven't seen him for many days. Has he forgotten my father?"
When Hou Junji heard this, he was a little anxious. He and Crown Prince Li Chengqian were very familiar with each other and had never seen anyone these days.
I have to say, I am really afraid of anything I want.
What Chen Zhengtai is most afraid of now is when asked about this and said hurriedly: "Mr.... His Highness... Now... I am understanding the people's sentiment... I think... I want..."
Li Shimin waved his hand and showed displeasure: "Who is he? Do I not know? You all cover it up for him, and sooner or later it will cause a disaster. He is too unstable and understands the people's sentiment? If Li Tai understood the people's sentiment, I would not find it strange. I believe this prince... I don't know where to go."
Chen Zhengtai was speechless, and it was blamed for Li Chengqian's image being too bad.
Chen Zhengtai had to laugh dryly and said, "Your Majesty... This... This... Students... Do you dare to deceive the emperor and the emperor? What the students say is true. The prince often worrys that he is in the deep palace and cannot know the suffering of the people, so... these days... are all there..."
"Enough." Li Shimin obviously knew his son. In his eyes, Chen Zhengtai's words were just to make excuses for Li Chengqian's naughtiness.
He sighed and said, "His brothers are in Yuezhou and Yangzhou, and they truly understand the people's sentiments. The Yangzhou Governor wrote another letter saying that Li Tai received a large number of people every day, and he was so tired that he vomited blood a few days ago. Li Tai also wrote a letter. In his memorials, he also explained the matters between Yuezhou and Yangzhou clearly, which shows that he had put in hard work."
Speaking of this, Li Shimin sighed again and said, "In three days, let the prince come to see me. Otherwise... I will be punished by the attendant in the prince's uterus."
Chen Zhengtai was anxious after hearing this within three days, but when he heard that he was guilty of a group of dead eunuchs from the East Palace, he became relaxed again.
Chen Zhengtai and others sued their house.
Just now, Li Jing and others were about to ride a horse and leave. Chen Zhengtai suddenly shouted, looked at Liu Feng kneeling in the distance, and then said, "Uncles, everyone, be a witness."
So everyone stopped and looked at Chen Zhengtai strangely.
Chen Zhengtai said: "The eldest grandson’s husband bullied me too much. I, Chen Zhengtai, will never settle with him. Don’t stop me."
Everyone rode on the horses indifferently, but Cheng Yaojin sat on the high horse and said, "No one stopped you, go and do it. Be careful of being beaten up by the Changsun family."
Chen Zhengtai was a little confused. It seemed that the effect of his declaration of war was not strong enough.
But this time... it was a big mess. If it weren't for Chen Zhengtai's "supernatural plan", he might have really let Changsun Wuji cheat.
In Chen Zhengtai's opinion, to deal with a person who is good at conspiracy like Changsun Wuji, he must be given a cruel thing to make him feel afraid of himself.
It is better to say that he has a grudge with the Changsun family than to be put on by Changsun Wuji every few days.
But Hou Junji, Li Jing and others just thought it was a joke. They rode on the horse. Hou Junji laughed and said, "Do some serious business. My stock has not risen much recently, so please calm down."
Li Jing also coughed and said, "You are honest, don't be arrogant or arrogant, and you will suffer losses in the future."
Cheng Yaojin shouted: "I regret not buying porcelain stocks..."
Chen Zhengtai felt that he was despised and had no mood at all. He said nothing. He rode on the horse in shame and hurried back home.
But... Chen Zhengtai is serious.
So when I got home, I immediately asked someone to find my third uncle.
When the third uncle heard Chen Zhengtai's call, he immediately came happily and looked at Chen Zhengtai and said, "Ah, Zhengtai went into the palace today? Good nephew, good nephew..."
"San Uncle, I was bullied." Chen Zhengtai finally felt a little real when he saw his close relative.
When the third uncle heard this, he did not disappoint Chen Zhengtai. He immediately said indignantly: "Who is it? Who is so bold? Do Tai Sui dare to touch the ground? Zhengtai, you report his name. I will try my best to refuse it and vent your anger."
Chen Zhengtai suddenly felt the warmth of his third uncle. Even though he was a human being for two lifetimes, his mind was as strong as iron, he couldn't help but feel moved at this moment and spit out four words: "Changsun Wuji..."
Changsun Wuji...
The third uncle was stunned, then felt as if he was thundered, and his body trembled. He said for a long time: "Oh, it turns out that it is Changsun Wuji, this person seems to have some reputations outside. His girl is Empress Changsun. I heard that he and Your Majesty have known each other since childhood!"
"Hmph... Zhengtai, don't be afraid, what's the matter? Are our Chen family vegetarians? You are waiting here, I'll prepare some gifts, and then go to Changsun's family to admit your mistakes on your behalf. Zhengtai, don't be afraid, uncle still has face. If you ask for a love affair with Changsun Wuji, he will not bully you again."
Chen Zhengtai: "…"
Chen Zhengtai felt that his heart had been hurt again!
Immediately, Chen Zhengtai gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not trying to admit anything wrong. I want to take revenge on the Changsun family and the third uncle, please be more awake."
Uncle San was frightened: "I...I'm very sober."
Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but lose his speech: "From now on, our Chen family will also do all the transactions involved in the Changsun family. Not only will it do it, but it will also cost 30% lower than their Changsun family. All the land close to the Changsun family, the land rent of their Changsun family will also drop by 30%. The Changsun family has operated a lot of iron ore, and the news will spread. The Chen family's smelting workshop will never collect the Changsun family's iron ore!"
"The Changsun family still smelted iron, so... if the iron from their Changsun family sold fifty cents per pound, the iron of the Chen family would be better than that of their Changsun family, but we only sold thirty cents. From now on... With our Chen family, there would be no Changsun family."
The third uncle was shocked.
This is like losing money and fighting with the Changsun family in close combat.
Of course... for the Chen family, even if it is dumped at a low price, it will not hurt the muscles and bones.
After all... the Chen family now makes many profits, which are enough to subsidize steel.
The pillar of the Changsun family is iron smelting. Since the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Changsun family has operated a lot of iron smelting. Now, with the status of the Changsun family, the Changsun family has occupied one or two percent of the iron in the world.
But now... Once the Chen family starts to move like Chen Zhengtai, the Changsun family...
The third uncle reminded again: "There is a queen in the Changsun family..."
Chen Zhengtai smiled confidently: "Is there no share of the prince or the palace in Erpigou? No matter how the Changsun family is, it is just a relative. Empress Changsun married into the Li family, and her son... is his closest relative, so... don't be afraid. The more we are afraid of things, the more people will want to control us."
"The Chen family is now in great business. If they are still afraid of trouble, there are countless jackals in the world who want to bite a piece of meat from our bodies. He Changsun Wuji wants to impute me, and I, Chen Zhengtai, will let him know the consequences of impute me. If you are bullied, just want to shrank your head, and you will not appreciate you later, but will only make people think that the better you are bullied!"
The third uncle thought about it and felt that Chen Zhengtai's words were indeed reasonable: "Then... you must plan carefully. This matter is covered by uncle. Uncle. Uncle summons a few relatives to plan this matter specifically. Don't worry, Zhengtai... I understand the truth, so why don't offend me and pay a favor. But since you plan to offend someone, then just do it all the time."
As he said that, he hurried away with a serious expression.
Chen Zhengtai sighed.
Revenge is certain, and now is the best time window for revenge.
Changsun Wuji had just been criticized by His Majesty. At this time... he was still in a state of uneasiness, just when he was in a slight archery and snake shadow.
The Chen family suddenly took these measures, and he did not dare to act rashly at this time. Then... Chen Zhengtai took action directly, slowly put the rope on Changsun Wuji's neck, and slowly hanged him to death.
Of course... this is just one aspect. We must beware of all possible backup moves from the Changsun family and must not let him have any possibility of counterattack.
Once the challenge begins, you can't turn back.
Two families... there must be one who admits defeat.
But... it would be great if His Royal Highness was here.
With this guy who turns against others, with him, he might be able to kill his relatives for justice.
The question is...what is the person?
