The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 550 Responding to the Meeting of the Aristocratic Family (Fourth Update)

"Damn Qingque, you actually spanked my ass with such great force. Now my ass is swollen from his beating, and I dare not even sit down." Wu Meiniang said while lying on the bed, pouted.

"It's not as scary as you said, it's just that you don't want to sit up. How could the emperor really be willing to beat the emperor's wife like that." Princess Chengyang said next to Wu Meiniang.

"What do you know, sister-in-law Huang is pretending to be pitiful on the bed so that brother Huang can visit her." Princess Jinyang said to Princess Chengyang with a smile.

The two little girls helped Wu Meiniang analyze what happened.The angry Wu Meiniang had itchy teeth.

In fact, what the two little princesses said was right, but how could Li Tai really beat Wu Meiniang so hard.It was just symbolic, spanking her a few times.

But Wu Meiniang lay on the bed, refusing to get up.I have to wait for Li Tailai to apologize to her.That's why Princess Chengyang and Princess Jinyang came to Wu Meiniang to tease Wu Meiniang.

……

Youzhou Governor's Mansion.

Ever since Li Tai came to Youzhou City, the governor of Youzhou had handed over government affairs to Luo Song.Now he has gone to work elsewhere.So the governor of Youzhou has now become Li Tai's temporary office.

"Master, what is the statistics of the soldiers in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun under the rule of Yan State?" Li Tai asked Luo Song.

"Your Highness, each of Yanyun's sixteen prefectures has an average of 5 government soldiers. Youzhou City has [-] government soldiers, and the entire Yan Kingdom has a total of more than [-] government soldiers." Luo Song said to Li Tai.

"If the king guessed correctly, there shouldn't be much difference between them and Fan Yang's Lu family's private army. The only difference is that the imperial court will allocate military salaries to them." Li Tai said to Luo Song.

"In the process of statistical verification, Lu Gang, the governor of Youzhou, has been cooperating with me as much as possible, but I can also see from the middle. We don't really have military power."

"If Lu Gang, the governor of Youzhou, gives an order, I'm afraid these [-] government soldiers will immediately turn against each other." Luo Song said to Li Tai after nodding his head.

"This is the ability of the five surnames and seven sects. Otherwise, how could they survive for a thousand years. It's a pity that they met this king." Li Tai said to Luo Song with a smile.

"I don't know what your Highness is going to do next. I'm afraid it will not be so easy to take back the military power." Luo Song said to Li Tai.

"How many troops did we bring from Mozhou City this time?" Li Tai asked Luo Song.

"There are less than 1 people in total. If you want to rely on these 1 people to take over the defense of the states, I'm afraid it's not enough." Luo Song said to Li Tai.

"Meng Li, immediately set up a recruiting office in Youzhou City, and you will be responsible for it yourself. From tomorrow onwards, the whole city will start recruiting troops." Li Tai said to Meng Li, the Patriarch of the Hu Family.

"My lord, if Fan Yang and Lu's family don't nod in Youzhou, I'm afraid we're recruiting recruits. Maybe no one will come to sign up." Meng Li said to Li Tai.

"You just set up a recruiting office, and people will naturally join the army. And if you find someone with high martial arts skills, you can directly make him a general in the army." Li Tai said to Meng Li.

"Since that's the case, tomorrow I, Meng Li, will set up a recruiting office in Youzhou City. I just don't know how many soldiers my lord is going to recruit this time?" Meng Li asked Li Tai after nodding his head.

"One hundred thousand, without 10 horses, it is very difficult to defend my king's country of Yan." Li Tai said to Meng Li.

"Your Highness, although we can support a hundred thousand troops, doing so may cause dissatisfaction in the court." Mo Tiannan, the head of the Mo family, said to Li Tai.

"Old man Mo can rest assured, this king has obtained the permission of the emperor. You can recruit 20 soldiers in the country of Yan, in case foreigners come to invade." Li Tai said to Mo Tiannan.

"Your Highness, I don't know what to do with the existing [-] government soldiers. As long as they stay in Yan Country, I am afraid that Fan Yang's Lu family will not listen to His Highness obediently." Mo Tiannan said to Li Tai.

"Don't worry, Mr. Mo. The day before yesterday, I accompanied His Highness to Fan Yang's Lu's house. Lu Wanda, the Patriarch of the Lu family, has agreed to cooperate with His Highness in carrying out the New Deal." Luo Song said to Mo Tiannan with a smile.

"At this time and at that time, I am afraid that His Highness is with General Luo now, and then goes to Fan Yang Lu's house. It is possible that you may not even be able to see the head of the Lu family." Mo Tiannan shook his head and said.

"Why does Mr. Mo think so? Could it be that he heard something?" Gao Xin'an, the grand elder of the Gao family, asked Mo Tiannan.

After Li Tai established Mozhou City, all members of the Gao family moved from Wuwei Villa to Mozhou City.Naturally, they also came to Youzhou this time.

Patriarch Gao Ping led the Gao family's children, busy on the construction site of King Yan's Mansion.But the four elders of the Gao family stayed in Youzhou City.

"Elder Gao is right. As far as I know, the aristocratic families in Youzhou are planning to nominate Lu Wanda, the patriarch of the Lu family in Fanyang, as the representative of all the aristocratic families."

"Use this to form a confrontation with His Highness. If His Highness's new policy harms their interests, I'm afraid they will never agree to it willingly." Mo Tiannan said to Gao Xin'an.

"If you add these [-] government soldiers, and they are all the confidantes of the Lu family, then the situation of the lord in the Yan country will be very dangerous." Meng Li, the Patriarch of the Hu family, said worriedly to Li Tai.

"If King Wei's Imperial Guards were here, how could they be afraid of these little ones? At worst, they will all be wiped out with one order." Cao Zhen, the Patriarch of the Cao Family, said angrily.

"My king has also heard about this family alliance meeting. Because Chi Ying has already sent shadow guards to infiltrate it."

"Although the aristocratic family in Youzhou intends to elect the head of the Lu family as the representative of the aristocratic family, Lu Wanda did not attend, and only sent his housekeeper Lu Long."

"And he directly rejected everyone's request in person, which finally caused the alliance meeting to fall apart. It can be said that no organization was formed in the end." Li Tai said to everyone.

"These five surnames and seven sects have one thing in front and another in another, although on the surface they rejected everyone's request. Who knows what tricks they have behind their backs." Cao Zhen said incredulously.

"Your Highness, why don't we send someone to give him a shocking blow. Let Fan Yang and Lu's family know that we were not alarmist that day." Luo Song said to Li Tai after thinking about it.

"This is a feasible method, but remember not to hurt people's lives. As long as it has a deterrent effect." Li Tai nodded and said.

"My lord, then let me send some Mo Xias there. It will definitely turn Fan Yang's Lu family upside down." Meng Li stood up and said to Li Tai.

"Meng Li, I'm afraid Fan Yang's Lu's house is not a place where you, Mo Xia, can come and leave as soon as you say."

"If this matter is done by Mo Xia, I'm afraid it won't be so easy." Luo Song said to Meng Li with a smile.

"Could it be that these five surnames and seven sects are really all failures." Meng Li said in disbelief.

"If there were five surnames and seven sects, they would not have the ability to protect themselves. In the thousands of years of wars, they would have disappeared long ago." Mo Tiannan said with a smile.
