Chapter 105 [From today onwards, Gu Tianya is not allowed to take over the power]... 2 more
Li Jiancheng quickly pulled Zhaoning away.
Lu Zhaoyun was also dragged away.
But everyone was only concerned about negotiations and never paid attention to one thing, that is, Gu Tianya after killing him. It seemed that something was wrong with him.
It seemed like he was frightened and crazy again. Since he beat Sun Zhao to death, his face and eyes were full of confusion.
He kept muttering to himself, as if he was really demented, and kept saying: "It doesn't matter if I die. What should I do if the food of the people in the world? Do you want to continue to starve people to death? Is this the world? Sun Qi, Sun Qi, have you seen that, I can't do anything!"
Li Jiancheng suddenly cried and hugged Gu Tianya's shoulder.
He turned his head to look at everyone, crying sadly and said, "Look at my brother-in-law, he has become like this. Can you save his life and satisfy him a little more and more wishes... The land and food that your aristocratic family embezzled will be returned. Everyone, can you give face?"
Want another face?
Return some of the embezzled land and grain?
All the aristocratic families present looked at each other!
They looked at Gu Tianya, then looked at the sad and crying prince of the Tang Dynasty. For some reason, they had an illusion that they always felt that these two were acting, but their acting skills were more wonderful than Lu Zhaoyun.
A person pretends to be stupid and avoids the crime of killing an official.
A crying loudly made a request.
It's very tacit in cooperation.
...
Although he knew that Gu Tianya and Li Jiancheng were acting, no one in the five surnames and seven hopes present was exposed.
After all, today's matter needs to be broken.
No one was willing to turn the table up unless it was absolutely necessary. The aristocratic families were indeed powerful when they joined forces, but the Li family royal family was not a good meal.
If you really get to the point of tearing your face, you will die from each other.
This is not in line with the interests.
Only by giving in can we maintain balance.
So, it's time to end.
The aristocratic families present looked at each other quietly, and then a young man raised his foot forward. He was the representative of everyone and was responsible for reaching an agreement with the royal family.
This young man is not someone else, but Zheng Guanyu, who once summoned his servants to Hebei. Unfortunately, he failed to catch up with the Turkic War, but became a representative of the aristocratic family today.
His sister was Li Jiancheng's Crown Princess, so everyone pushed him out for negotiations.
But seeing Zheng Guanyu with a wry smile on his face, he first called Li Jiancheng to his brother-in-law, and then said helplessly: "The aristocratic families in the world can retreat, but the royal family must also retreat. Gu Tianya killed officials today, and they were still the aristocratic officials. From this, it can be seen that he has the intention to kill the aristocratic families, so our first requirement is that he cannot hold power from now on. He can only stay in the people and is not allowed to enter the court..."
Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "Do you have to do this?"
Zheng Guanyu nodded and said, "If ordinary people have the intention to kill aristocratic families, we will naturally not be so guarded. But he is the husband of Princess Pingyang, so naturally he cannot take it lightly. How impulsive he seems when he kills people today. Although this is our strategy, it is also our temptation. As a result, he found that his personality is dangerous. If he is in power, what should he do if he is impulsive one day? We will kill him? Although he lets him kill him? This is definitely not possible, so restrictions must be made."
Li Jiancheng glanced at Gu Tianya, then turned around and looked at Zheng Guanyu, and said helplessly: "Then what else can he do in the future?"
After all, Zheng Guanyu is one of the few soft-hearted people in the aristocratic family. He sighed and said, "As long as he is not allowed to be an official or a powerful person, he can do whatever he wants, and we will not stare at him anymore. He can stay in the folk and enjoy the happiness of a rich man. This is actually very good, and he will be smooth and smooth for the rest of his life."
Li Jiancheng frowned immediately and said unhappily: "Do you want him to be a businessman?"
The merchants in this era were extremely humble, and sometimes they were not even as good as those of ordinary people.
No wonder Li Jiancheng would be unhappy. If others had been angry, they would have been angry.
Zheng Guanyu was obviously embarrassed and couldn't help but whisper: "Brother-in-law, this is the request of all aristocratic families. If the Li royal family does not agree, they can only break up with each other."
Li Jiancheng took a deep breath.
He felt sad for Gu Tianya, and his brother-in-law's life was over.
But Gu Tianya suddenly smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll be a businessman. From now on, I won't go to the officialdom and be a rich man."
There is really a lot to do when you are a businessman. When the money accumulates to a certain level, the power you spend will definitely be a massacre.
Perhaps only then did the aristocratic families understand what a mountain collapse and tsunami were.
But Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, thinking that Gu Tianya was sacrificing himself. He felt even more sad, and his mouth became hard, and he turned to Zheng Guanyu and said, "We have agreed to your request, but the aristocratic family cannot just make requests. You also need to pay, otherwise this is not a negotiation..."
Zheng Guanyu nodded and said, "Since the royal family makes concessions, we will naturally make concessions. Regarding the fields of the previous dynasty, we can return 20% of them. In addition, the granary left by the Great Sui Dynasty. If the food stored in it is indeed empty, we will also return part of it, but at most it can only return 20%..."
He did not hide this at all and directly told the story of the aristocratic family embezzling the granary. But the more this happens, the more it means that the matter has come to an end.
After saying this, he looked at Li Jiancheng sincerely and said again: "Brother-in-law, you should understand that the aristocratic families also need to survive. Land and grain are the roots and foundations. Your Li royal family was once a clan. They know more about this kind of thing. It is impossible for the meat swallowed by the aristocratic families to be spit out. The reason why they returned 20% was the biggest concession..."
Li Jiancheng sighed and said with some disappointment: "I originally thought it would be 30%.
Zheng Guanyu hesitated and suddenly said, "It is indeed time to retreat 30%, but Gu Tianya killed the official in the hall. He slapped all the aristocratic families in the face, and we must give a punishment."
Li Jiancheng nodded and expressed his acceptance of this statement.
Gu Tianya no longer pretended to be stupid at this time and suddenly said, "Then I'll let you slap in the face, and return 40% of the land and grain, is it okay?"
Zheng Guanyu was stunned and said with a strange look for a long time: "You have to remember that you are no longer a mud-legged person now. Don't use such a rogue trick all the time, as this will insult your identity and demeanor."
For some reason, he was extremely easy-going to Gu Tianya.
He was not as sarcastic as Lu Zhaoyun, but instead advised Gu Tianya like a good friend.
But Gu Tianya shook his head repeatedly and sighed, "What can you do if you are handsome and elegant? What can you do if you are insulted? If you can help the people get back more grain and land, I, Gu Tianya, will be willing to kneel on the ground and let you spit thick phlegm..."
Zheng Guanyu was stunned again, and suddenly looked at Gu Tianya up and down. After a long time, he spoke again: "I finally understand why my brother-in-law insists on protecting you. It turns out that your heart is as soft as him. You will be very tired of living like this. The people in the world may not know what you have done... But, I admire it very much."
Gu Tianya was happy on his face and hurriedly said, "Since that's the case, everyone is friends. Since they are already friends, can some grain and land be returned? What about 40%? 35% can be negotiated!"
Zheng Guanyu was stunned, suddenly smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "You are acting like a scoundrel again, I will ignore you if you do this."
For some reason, he seemed to be extremely friendly to Gu Tianya.
But his face turned solemn and said in an extremely rigorous tone: "The land and food are the roots and foundations. It is impossible to return 40% and 35% are also a dream. The bottom line of aristocratic families in the world can only return 30% at most. However, because you killed Sun Zhao, it is equivalent to slapping all aristocratic families in the face, so we reduced 10% again. This is the punishment the aristocratic families have made to you..."
Gu Tianya sighed and said, "So this is your intention. You didn't plan to kill me at all!"
Zheng Guanyu did not hide it from him and nodded directly to admit it.
Gu Tianya looked at him and suddenly felt sincere admiration. He couldn't help but say, "You have introduced Sun Zhao to deliberately make him irritate me, but you are not trying to make me commit the crime of killing officials. Your real purpose is to keep that 10% of the land and food. What a skill, I have become your puppet."
Zheng Guanyu immediately laughed and said, "Our aristocratic family is not stupid. It is not beneficial to kill you. This is equivalent to tearing apart with the royal family. Both sides are unwilling to go that point. It is related to the fields and granaries of the previous dynasty. We also know that it is impossible to swallow them all, but we have swallowed them and are unwilling to vomit them all out, so we set up a plan to make a little sacrifice..."
He said, looking at Gu Tianya, and smiled and said, "Miyun Sun family died of a Sun Zhao, but the entire Sun family will be taken care of. The Tang royal family can only recover 20% of the land and grain. It should have been 30% but it has been reduced by 10%. This is your sin, because it is the punishment of the aristocratic family. But, you and I know that this is just an excuse, and we are mainly reluctant to let that amount of wealth."
Gu Tianya took a deep breath, suddenly raised his thumb and said, "I admire you, I really admire you. I will save me a lot of wealth by punishing me. The family has been passed down for thousands of years, and its skills are indeed extraordinary."
He was sincerely admired, but Zhao Ning suddenly became furious and shouted at Zheng Guanyu: "Zheng Guanyu, are you itchy again? Gu Tianya is my man, you have to call him brother-in-law. You have eaten the courage of Xiongxin and leopard today, but you dare to punish him..."
Zheng Guanyu immediately smiled bitterly, and took a few steps back in fear, and then he defended from afar: "Sister Xiuning, is it okay for us to tell some truth? I am just representing the aristocratic family. This punishment cannot be determined by me alone."
Zhaoning's pretty face turned cold and shouted again: "It was not your decision, but you said it. When today's matter is over, I will inevitably beat you up."
Zheng Guanyu immediately shrank his neck and suddenly looked at Gu Tianya pitifully and said, "You don't care."
Gu Tianya was a little confused and subconsciously said, "I'm not very familiar with you, why should I care about my wife hitting you? Don't say that she wants to hit you, in fact, even I want to hit you..."
Zheng Guanyu looked aggrieved and said, "We are relatives."
Gu Tianya yelled twice and said with a smile: "But you can't make me an official!"
He actually never gave in to the aristocratic family.
This time I bowed my head just for the next revenge.
