Datang: At the beginning, Li Er eavesdropped on his heart

Chapter 265 Spotted by Li Shimin
For a moment, when the name Liang Wang Li Yin was mentioned in the barracks, all expressions changed on the spot, and people panicked, fearing that they would be the next one to be investigated and dealt with.

"Master General, I think things are almost done. After setting this precedent, the family's influence in the camp has plummeted."

There was a faint smile on Li Yin's face, which made the commander's heart tremble.

However, he was shocked by Li Yin's thunderous tactics. In a short period of time, one person was beheaded, three were arrested, and dozens of people were demoted.

But these people all have one thing in common, that is, they come from aristocratic families and are strong on the outside but capable on the inside.

"Your Highness is wise. In this way, I can promote many capable brothers to high positions in the army without having to be controlled by aristocratic families."

Li Yin nodded, and began to investigate the next place, making sure to minimize the family's influence on the army.

At that time, even if the aristocratic family is in a hurry to jump over the wall and want to give it a go, they must also weigh their own strength.

The court was shocked for a while, there were quite a few children from aristocratic families who became officials, and they asked Li Shimin to punish Li Yin severely.

But now that he has already started to do it, how could Li Shimin pick up a stone and smash himself in the foot.

Then he casually said a reason to prevaricate.

It made all the patriarchs of the aristocratic family fall into anxiety, and secretly gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"King Liang's methods are vicious, and all the children of my Zhou family who served in the army were implicated." Patriarch Zhou was very angry.

It's all right to be demoted and retained, but the direct descendants like Zhou Li have been escorted to the Ministry of War for trial, so how can we not make him fly into a rage.

Patriarch Lu's face was gloomy, he just exchanged glances with Patriarch Cui, and the situation of the two of them was not much better.

"King Liang is going to attack us, and is fighting back."

"But the force of this counterattack is too great!" The Cui family leader only felt aggrieved.

They just sent people to make trouble in Li Yin's shop, but Li Yin actually investigated and dealt with all the children of their family in the army, and even lost their lives.

It's like throwing a small stone and causing a tsunami, which makes people helpless and frightened.

"Crazy, King Liang must be crazy." Another patriarch said, causing everyone to sigh.

Patriarch Lu frowned tightly, thinking about countermeasures in his heart, if Li Yin was really allowed to investigate and deal with the dead family like this, the good days of the dead family would be over.

"It's better not to do one thing, but to get rid of King Liang." Patriarch Zhou said suddenly.

The several Patriarchs looked at each other in blank dismay, they had also done the murder of the prince, but it was not so easy to succeed.

"When King Liang went out, he couldn't get it. Now that he is in Chang'an City, how can we do it?"

Normally Patriarch Cui was too impatient to say anything good, but at this moment he was much more stable.

Patriarch Lu nodded, moved his eyes, dipped his finger in the tea, and wrote the word "Wei" on the table.

"If we want to make a turn for this matter, we have to rely on King Wei. We are now two grasshoppers on the same rope. Let the children of the family go to serve in the army under his jurisdiction."

So good!

Patriarch Zhou immediately understood what Patriarch Lu meant and was very excited.

"In this way, not only can the family's influence over the army be preserved, but it can also take the opportunity to deepen ties with King Wei, so that he won't be able to look down on us in the future."

"That's right, as long as King Wei agrees to our request, the army under his jurisdiction will also belong to us in the future, and no outsiders can interfere with it as a whole." Patriarch Lu said very proudly.

call……

Hearing his voice fall, everyone felt a strange feeling in their hearts.

If that day really came, so what if they would rise up with a heavy army in their hands.

Everyone made up their minds, and they invited Li Tai over in a short while, and Patriarch Lu spoke bluntly.

"Liang Wang's actions are indeed a bit extreme. I think that the father will regret the connivance of him today in the future."

Li Tai sneered, then looked straight at Patriarch Lu, and said meaningfully.

"I don't know what kind of result the heads of the family will come up with after discussing this."

This……

Patriarch Lu's heart trembled, and he naturally knew that Li Tai was not a character to get along with, so he should be respectful.

"Your Highness, we are also forced to have no way out. We only want to let the children of the family enter the army under the jurisdiction of His Highness."

"Only in this way can we avoid Prince Liang's methods and preserve our strength."

So it turned out, Li Tai hesitated, but finally nodded.

His relationship with the aristocratic family is nothing more than cooperation, far from a situation where he is going through fire and water. Of course, he has to weigh the pros and cons when encountering problems.

But he felt that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. The children of the aristocratic family entered the military camp to replace those generals who were not loyal to them, and they would become their own private army in the future.

"Then according to what you said, the king will fully support it."

Li Tai couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes, it was clear that from now on, his strength had risen to a new level.

A few days passed, the aristocratic families moved frequently, and suddenly there were many strange faces in Li Tai's army.

Cui Hu was among them, he transformed from a scion from a lowly family to a food delivery officer in Li Tai's camp, very impressive.

Situations like this often happened in the camp under Li Tai's jurisdiction, and soon attracted Li Shimin's attention.

The old father, who had been worrying about balancing the fight between his sons all day, felt nervous.

"Go and call this rebellious son over here. He is so close to the aristocratic family, and he puts in such a big fanfare. I'm not afraid that my Li family will be overthrown one day!"

The more Li Shimin talked, the more excited he became, and he almost didn't come up, Wang De didn't dare to delay even a little bit, so he hurriedly went to Wei Wang's mansion to pass the decree.

Not long after, he brought Li Tai to Li Shimin. Wang De knew that this matter was very important, so he retreated wisely.

"Kneel down!" Li Shimin's voice was majestic. The words echoed in the Tai Chi Hall and immediately made Li Tai's body tremble.

Kneeling on the ground anxiously, when she raised her eyes, she looked confused.

"Father, what happened to make the father so anxious to call the children over?"

Li Shimin felt a little cold in his heart when he saw Li Tai, who was pretending to be confused with him at this juncture.

"Of course it's a big deal. Liang Wang sought an opportunity to suppress the family, and Wei Wang took the opportunity to win over the family. The two of you are getting better at fighting each other."

Li Tai frowned, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin actually called him over for this matter.

When it is explained.

"Father, if my Tang Dynasty wants to be stable, the influence of the aristocratic family must not be ignored."

"Now that the King of Liang is targeting the aristocratic family so much, I can't bear to let these loyal and upright people be excluded. This is the only way to allow them to enter the camp!"
