Datang: My private money was exposed by Li Shimin

Chapter 11 The Family's Vicious Intentions

"The old man has long ordered all 88 rice shops in my Zheng family to stop selling any rice and grains, not only those refugees can't snatch them."

"And the ordinary people in Chang'an City will no longer be able to buy a single grain."

"All the consequences will be borne by Li Shimin."

An old man with a white beard and a sinister smile on his face was Zheng Xian, the patriarch of the Zheng clan in Xingyang.

"Mr. Zheng has a very clever plan!" A short, fat, middle-aged man with mung bean-sized eyes narrowed into a slit, turned out to be Wang Shunze, the patriarch of the Wang Clan in Taiyuan.

"The old man has also ordered all the shops in my Wang family to close. Not only can those untouchables no longer be able to buy rice, they can't even get an inch of fabric..."

Li Yuanmao from the Li family in Zhao County sneered, "My Li family has closed all [-] salt shops under our door. Starting tomorrow, there will be no more salt in the entire Chang'an city!"

"If the emperor pleads with us before sunset today, there is still room for maneuver."

"If it's tomorrow, not only will we add half of the places on our long list of generals..."

"At least two-thirds of the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty must belong to my family..."

outside the city.

The convoy, which could not be seen at a glance, was driving slowly.

Sitting in the carriage, Li Shimin looked up and saw the outline of Chang'an City clearly visible.There was a faint smile on his face, and he was in a very happy mood.

At this moment, he suddenly saw Cheng Yaojin riding on the horse beside him, urging his horse to run forward.

In a blink of an eye, he led another Jinwu Guard cavalryman, and rushed back quickly with a serious expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong, and the victims in the city may rebel!"

"what?"

Not only Li Shimin, but Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, and Du Ruhui, who were driving beside him, also changed their expressions drastically.

Li Shimin looked at the Jin Wuwei.

"Report to Your Majesty..." Without waiting for Li Shimin to open his mouth, he quickly told the story of the city.

Li Shimin and his subjects heard a layer of cold sweat on their foreheads, but everyone was slightly relieved.

"It's okay! Although Wei Zheng is always nitpicking, he finally did a great deed today..."

"What a noble family..." Li Shimin's eyes were red with anger.

Unexpectedly, the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs are pressing on every step of the way, and now they have made no secret of their ambitions.

I can't let go of any of them!

Li Shimin ordered to move quickly. In fact, he was not far from Chang'an City, but within half a stick of incense time, he had already driven into the city from the west gate.

Along the way, I saw shops on both sides, many of which had been smashed and robbed, and occasionally saw some passers-by who were injured.

But no refugees were seen.

Everyone turned a corner and marched towards Daming Palace.

A team of Jinwu guards in armor and sharp guards in front kept patrolling.

The big man in the lead, with a burly figure and a face like black charcoal, was Yu Chigong.

Yuchi Gong's face was full of joy, and hurriedly urged the horse to come over.

He got off his horse and bowed his hands to salute: "Your Majesty, you are back!"

He was completely relieved.

Li Shimin nodded slightly: "Jingde, well done!"

"I follow your mother's order in everything!"

Yu Chigong has a hot temper, if it wasn't for Empress Changsun's repeated strict decrees, he would have already ordered the people to kill.

Li Shimin led his people back to the palace.

Empress Changsun had already received the news and rushed to meet her.

Just about to salute, Li Shimin stretched out his hand to hold her.

"Guanyin maidservant, I'm not here, it's up to you to resolve the crisis..."

His face is full of love, what can a husband ask for if he has won a wife like this?

Empress Changsun smiled like a flower.

"Fortunately, it didn't cause too much turmoil!"

"Zheng Guogong wrote back, the victims have gradually dispersed, and he is rushing back!"

After half an hour.

On the Hall of Tai Chi.

Li Shimin sat upright, looking down at the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

The officials looked at Li Shimin, and finally let go of their hearts.

Wei Zheng in the crowd looked like a drowned chicken, his whole body was already drenched in sweat.He kept wiping the sweat off his face.

Li Shimin glanced at him, and said indifferently: "Wei Zheng, you deft the crisis cleverly and witty this time, and saved the country and the country of the Tang Dynasty, and you have worked hard!"

"I will reward you heavily in the future!"

Wei Zheng took a step forward and said respectfully: "It is the duty of the minister to do things for the Tang Dynasty and the people of the world, and the minister does not need to be rewarded."

"Today, although Wei Chen temporarily stabilized these victims, but tomorrow, in the future..."

He didn't talk about the three-day appointment with the disaster victims on his own initiative.

He believed that the Jinwu guards beside him had already reported the situation to Li Shimin in detail.

The ministers couldn't help but fell silent.

Although Wei Zheng calmed down the people for the time being, without food relief, they would definitely make a rebellion within three days, and the momentum would definitely be a hundred times more violent than it is now.

Li Shimin stood up, hands behind his back, looking at everyone.There was an unconcealable smile on his face, and he was full of vigor, not at all the slumbering in the early morning.

"Xuan Cheng, you don't need to wait for three days. Tomorrow, I will be able to feed all the people in the whole city."

"Moreover, Chang'an City does not reject anyone who comes."

"All the disaster victims in the world are pouring in, and I will take them all in. There will never be a single person who will starve to death."

In fact, he can provide disaster relief today, but the potatoes have not yet been shipped in.

This time the aristocratic family had already broken openly with him, since he wanted to fight back, he naturally had to give them a heavy slap in the face, so that he could vent his anger.

Wei Zheng, Gao Shilian and other loyal officials could not help but look at Li Shimin in surprise.

I just feel that his mood is very abnormal. Could it be that he is mad with anger?
Three days later, the Turkic army was about to attack the city again.

Could it be that His Majesty knew that there was nothing he could do to turn back the sky, and that he had broken the pot?

But the officials of those aristocratic families couldn't help sneering.

Li Shimin, are you finally surrendering to us?
Wei Zheng glanced at Fang Xuanling and the others, and saw that the faces of the four of them were calm, not at all worried as they were in the morning.

They followed His Majesty out of the city, did they have a solution?
Afterwards.

The ministers left the hall.

Seeing Fang Xuanling walking out, Wei Zheng hurried to catch up.

"Xuanling!"

Fang Xueling turned her head and looked at him with a smile.

"Xuan Cheng, put your heart in your stomach! After three days, not only will you not apologize with death!"

"On the contrary, what happened today is enough to make you famous!"

"Some small victims, as well as those Turkic barbarians, are nothing but scabies!"

"Based on these two things alone, it is wishful thinking to try to overthrow our Great Tang Dynasty!"

Fang Xuanling patted his shoulder and left slowly.

Wei Zheng was dumbfounded, Fang Xuanling talking nonsense here?

He originally wanted to go to Du Ruhui, but immediately dismissed the idea.
