Datang: Changle, I really don’t have any private money for my husband

Chapter 124 Angry Li Shimin

Not surprisingly, when Changsun Wuji told Li Shimin the result of the negotiation, Li Shimin's angry reprimand came from the main hall.

"How dare they!"

Li Shimin's face was full of anger, and his eyes were like knives.

Originally thought that these aristocratic families would just take advantage of the fire to rob, and the court could bear it no matter how patient they were, but they didn't expect that they directly wanted to dig the foundation of Tang Dynasty.

They even came close to abdicating Li Shimin.

"They are forcing me!"

Li Shimin stood up, with his hands behind his back, looking at the portrait of Li Yuan hanging on the wall behind the dragon chair, without any emotion in his tone:

"Tell me, am I really wrong?"

In the hall, Changsun Wuji bowed, not daring to stand up straight, remained silent, let alone responding.

In his opinion, these conditions of the aristocratic families are simply blatant rebellion, and it is absolutely impossible for the court to agree.

It is estimated that the aristocratic families also know it, but even the negotiation will not be too bad. As long as this opening is opened, they will infiltrate the court and continue to expand until they replace it.

Even, based on the imperial court's softening this time, they may occasionally communicate with foreign enemies and play the Tang Dynasty in their hands, making the imperial court want to die.

Because in their eyes, dynasties can be replaced, but they are indeed eternal, no matter which dynasty must rely on them.

After a long silence, Li Shimin finally sighed deeply, and said to Changsun Wuji:

"Go down and talk to them again. I will not agree to any of these three conditions. These conditions must be eased!"

Changsun Wuji quickly responded, "I obey the order!"

Even though he didn't want to see that face, he still had to be patient and negotiate. This was the reality.

After Changsun Wuji left, Li Shimin sat in front of the desk, forbearance getting more and more angry for a while, and directly overturned the memorials piled up on the desk.

The eunuchs and maids hurriedly bent over to pick it up, but no one dared to make a sound.

"I want to kill someone!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was filled with a murderous aura, but Li Shimin had nothing to say after all.

He has already had murderous intentions towards these aristocratic families, and today's incident is just an introduction, and with those three such excessive conditions, it is even more impossible for him not to keep his murderous intentions.

But he has nothing to do, if he could do something to these aristocratic families, he would have done it long ago.

But the five surnames and seven Wangs were not vegetarians, and the imperial court was not sure that they would be wiped out quickly. In this way, the Tang Dynasty would return to the melee period at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

For everyone, this is a troubled time that cannot be looked back on. People are devastated. The Tang Dynasty, which was originally improving, has directly transferred from Xia Xu to Dong Xu, and it is not impossible to change the dynasty.

The results can refer to the former Sui Dynasty.

……

Changsun Wuji returned to the negotiating table.

Master Cui Ren was not surprised to see Changsun Wuji come back, because they had already expected that the court had no choice but to do so.

Moreover, if the court has not accepted it, they will strengthen their covert support for Tuyuhun and increase the pressure on the court.

"It is impossible for the imperial court to agree to these three conditions!"

Changsun Wuji said directly.

This is very obvious, of course, Cui Renshi had already expected it.

"However, if these conditions are lowered, the food we lend to you may be delayed."

"Brother Wuji, as you know, our clan has so many mouths waiting to eat, so if we give you so much food, we will also be affected."

Changsun Wuji sneered secretly in his heart, he didn't believe a word of the other party's words.

"Let's start negotiating, don't say these things are useless." Changsun Wuji said straight to the point:

"Taxation is the foundation of a country, the first condition is impossible!"

Exemption from taxes without a fixed number of years is just playing hooligans and endless blood-sucking in Datang.

"Brother Wuji, we can talk again, don't be so absolute..."

When the two confronted and negotiated, Li Shimin was not in the palace.

In anger, Li Shimin wanted to go out for a walk.

As an emperor, it was the first time he was so aggrieved. Even when he faced Li Yuan, he was not so helpless.

He even felt very powerless. In the face of natural disasters, everything seemed so insignificant, but what made him even more powerless was those aristocratic families with hideous faces.

Walking on the street, Li Shimin's mood was rarely relieved.

Looking at the pedestrians coming and going, the people's faces are full of peace and contentment, and they firmly believe that the court will win the war.

The floods in Henan, Shandong, and Huainan Roads did not seem to exist, and there was no sign of a crisis here. The people were full of hope for the future, and full of pride and pride in Datang.

But who would know that the current Tang Dynasty is in a precarious state, with Tuyuhun and other neighboring countries coveting outside, and aristocratic families eyeing power inside, the Tang Dynasty is in danger.

But the troubles of Tang Dynasty, only Li Shimin now feels the most, but he has no one to talk about. Even if he tells all these troubles to Empress Changsun and others, there is no way to do it, it just adds to the troubles.

When he came to a street corner, Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and saw a group of people not far away, they seemed to be looking at something.

When Li Shimin approached, he heard clearly that there was a storyteller inside, talking about interesting things about Chang'an County.

Thinking of his unusual son-in-law, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing:
"I didn't expect it, he still has this talent, if not, he wouldn't have hidden it for more than two years."

The old eunuch at the side saw that Li Shimin rarely showed a smile all the way, and immediately echoed:
"That's right, it's His Majesty's discerning eyes that discovered the ability of Concubine Liu so that he can benefit one side."

Li Shimin didn't care about the old eunuch's flattery. If Chang Le hadn't insisted on pushing Liu Sheng out, he would probably be lazy at home now.

In other words, it seems that I haven't gone to the county government to check on Liu Sheng for a long time, and I don't know if this kid is still passive and sabotage.

He thought so, with a thoughtful look on his face.

The old eunuch who was good at observing words and expressions saw Li Shimin's thoughts, and asked cautiously:

"Your Majesty, Chang'an County is not far from here, do you want to go to the county government to check on Prince Consort Liu?"

The old eunuch keenly sensed that Prince Consort Liu seemed to be the breakthrough point, and it might really make the emperor happy.

Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes paused, and he did not refuse, "That's fine, I also want to see if the son-in-law will abide by the post of county magistrate."

Even if few people at the scene felt that Liu Sheng was abiding by his position, Li Shimin might as well check it out.

Soon, Li Shimin led the crowd to the gate of the Chang'an County Yamen, watching the sparse people entering and leaving the county Yamen, Li Shimin's eyes showed a certain look.
