Sui and Tang Dynasties: Engagement to Li Xiuning, start with heavy snow dragon ride

Seeing Li Yuanwai still not leaving, Xu Maogong was amused for a while, he really likes to watch the excitement.

Li Yuanwai left in a hurry, but it was a pity in the end that he didn't see anything.

Then it was Cui Rong's turn, and he was a little nervous.

It stands to reason that their crime is the biggest, and they should be ordered immediately.

But Yang Zhao didn't seem to be in a hurry, he just waited for everyone to deal with it before it was his turn.

The sense of smell that he has been in the court all year round made him feel a little bit of danger.

Your Majesty is so abnormal, there must be a demon out of the normal state!

He was really scared, afraid that Yang Zhao would kill him on the spot, then he would have no hope at all.

"Master Cui, how do you like this scene?"

Yang Zhao looked at Cui Rong and asked.

Cui Rong didn't dare to speak nonsense, and after thinking for a while, he dared to say:

"Return to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has far-sighted plans, and the subject is less than one ten thousandth."

After finishing speaking, before Yang Zhao could speak, he said:

"I am very remorseful now, but it is too late. Your majesty's words have enlightened me. If there is another chance, I will definitely be a clean and honest official!"

After expressing his attitude, Cui Rong did not look up at Yang Zhao's expression.

Yang Zhao raised his eyebrows, Cui Jin was indeed much more reckless compared to Cui Rong.

An uncle is an uncle, and at a critical moment, he can still say such things.

But, what's the use?

After a while, Yang Zhao sighed:

"Put them all in prison and wait until they are dealt with. I'm tired and I'm going to retire!"

After everyone left, Xu Maogong and Wei Zheng glanced at each other, and turned to the imperial study room at the same pace.

"Your Majesty, didn't you agree before that Cui Rong will be executed on the spot in the court, as a warning to others?"

Wei Zheng hurriedly asked, he was afraid that His Majesty would be deceived by Cui Rong's false appearance.

Xu Maogong didn't speak, but this was what he wanted to ask.

After a while, Yang Zhao said:

"It was like this, but I suddenly thought of something."

"What's the matter?"

"After this incident, the lack of officials, most of them were thrown into dungeons, and the gentry behind them will definitely make trouble."

"Indeed, but, what does this have to do with Cui Rong?"

"He has nowhere to go, but at this moment, he surrendered to me. He must have some kind of scheme."

"Then it's even more important to kill them and then hurry up! Late makes changes!"

Wei Zheng was already in a hurry, Cui Rong was very scary, he was able to win over so many people quietly in the court.

And not letting His Majesty notice him, from this point of view, he is a terrible opponent.

He had an idea, and that was a big deal.

Xu Maogong seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, what do you mean, just borrow Cui Rong to solve this trouble?"

What the trouble is, several people know in their hearts that the gentry will come to make trouble, maybe it will be an uprising.

The gentry and peasant uprisings were different.

They have sufficient silver and well-trained guards.

Today's treasury is not sufficient, and it is very uneconomical to fight.

The point is, it is the people who suffer.

Yang Zhao naturally wouldn't let such a thing happen, he wanted to stop the turmoil.

He had thought of some tricks before, but none of them were very ideal, so he could only say to use them and make other plans when the time comes.

Cui Rong's performance today moved Yang Zhao's heart. Perhaps, this is really an opportunity.

"That's right, since he's going to make trouble, let him do what he wants. Those gentry clans are all scourges, so I won't have to look for them one by one."

"Since everyone has come together, Cui Rong will have a more useful place. When the time comes, let him die well."

Yang Zhao obviously wanted Cui Rong to use his last bit of heat.

The same person, Cui Rong, is really a key point.

Chapter 352 There are no finished eggs under the nest

The eyes of Wei Zheng and Xu Maogong moved.

Your Majesty wants to make an example of others, and face this group of gentry.

It's like the aunt in the vegetable market who can't wait to bargain for free, and wants to order chopped green onion when she leaves.

Very difficult.

"But Your Majesty, there will be many gentry at that time, and Cui Rong may not be that powerful."

Wei Zheng felt that it was still inappropriate, one Cui Rong was not enough, at least a few more people were needed.

"What about Feng Deyi and Lu Qi?"

Xu Maogong seemed to have known His Majesty's plan a long time ago, so he blurted it out.

"If this is the case, it will be able to suppress those gentry."

Wei Zheng nodded in affirmation.

Unexpectedly, Yang Zhao said:

"I don't intend to let any of these people go, I won't keep any of them!"

The pupils of the two gradually dilated. They did not expect Yang Zhao's appetite to be so big.

After this incident, most of the gentry in Taixia will disappear, which will be a big change.

For the current situation, I don't know whether it is good or bad.

Xu Maogong felt a little uneasy in his heart. He also came from a gentry family and knew the horror of the combined strength of the gentry.

"Your Majesty, is this move too radical?"

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible."

The two spoke almost in unison.

Wei Zheng was born in a poor family, but as the Duke of the state, he needs to consider the overall situation.

"Your Majesty, there are already too many vacancies in the official positions above the court. Suppressing the nobles at this time may cause a new round of rebellion."

Wei Zheng spoke freely, even though he knew it was disrespectful, he still wanted to say it.

"Your Majesty, this minister agrees."

The same is true of Xu Maogong.

Yang Zhao was not dissatisfied, but said:

"Wei Gong, Xu Gong, in today's world, the gentry is immortal, and it will become a major disaster in the future. This is a rare opportunity. I am not targeting the world's gentry, but those officials who are wrapped in plain clothes."

"There are no eggs under the nest. If I don't do this, if I back down half a step, I will only let the tiger go back to the mountain."

After experiencing Li Shimin's incident, Yang Zhao felt that he had to learn a lesson.

Now that it has been done, we must cut the grass and get rid of the root, otherwise it will lead to a big mistake in the future.

Thinking of Li Shimin, Yang Zhao felt irritated for a while, and that force was at work again.

At the same time, Yang Zhao was also ready.

Li Shimin's disappearance does not mean that he will remain anonymous, he was originally a dead end.

He escaped miraculously, and when Li Shimin reappeared, Yang Zhao had to be prepared.

He will make plans from now on.

The gentry is not necessarily Li Shimin's only means.

But just in case the gentry disappears, Yang Zhao will directly cut off one of Li Shimin's powers.

With such a strong army, he didn't believe that Li Shimin would have no ideas.

Moreover, killing most of the gentry will cause dissatisfaction among the rest of the gentry. What will Li Shimin do after knowing the news?

Presumably he will make a move and take him under his command.

It is also a trick to lure the snake out of the hole.

But Wei Zheng and Xu Maogong didn't know this.

They can't think of this either.

In terms of the overall situation, Yang Zhao is above them.

"This... Your Majesty's words are very true. Will the city be closed at that time?"

What Yang Zhao said left them speechless, so they had no choice but to agree with him.

Closing the city means catching a turtle in the urn, which will help their plan to a certain extent.

"Not for now, I have my own plans."

Wei Zheng and Xu Maogong have stepped back, and there will be a big move next, and they have more important tasks.

As for Yang Zhao's thoughts, they just need to know the general meaning.

Yang Zhao didn't want to say it, and they couldn't force it.

...

In the prison in the capital.

Today is extraordinarily lively, it is already full of people, and it is almost impossible to hold it.

The jailers in charge were overwhelmed.

They have heard some things more or less, but not comprehensively.

"You said what happened to our Majesty, what should we do if so many adults are locked in at once?"

A jailer frowned, very embarrassed.

At first glance, good guy, even the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment is in it, and they have never seen any big officials.

The smallest one is also from the fifth grade, and they are just a small jailer, and some jailers even rely on their relationship to come in.

Where have they seen so many great figures?

"What should I do? Let's do business, as the saying goes, the emperor breaks the law and the common people are the same crime!"

Another young jailer snorted coldly, his face full of arrogance.

He felt that even if the emperor locked him in, he would not have a good face.

They are all criminals, let them take care of them!

The leading jailer slapped the young jailer on the head and cursed angrily:

"You bastard, are you looking for death!"

The young jailer froze for a moment, his face full of dissatisfaction, if it didn't seem that the boss was beating him, he would have ordered a few words.

The old jailer beside him sighed, stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Boss, don't be angry. He's new here and doesn't understand."

Turning around and looking at the young jailer, he said in a deep voice:
