Chapter 496 Unusual July 2nd
Dad, sister, don’t praise me, I’ll be shy. You know that daddy, you have already arranged it. After saying that, Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and asked.
That's right, it's already arranged. I'll let your uncle, Yuchi Gong, Ye Wei, and Shadow Guard take charge of this matter. Now they have set out. I can't think of it for long. The Tang Dynasty will not have five surnames and seven hopes. They will become history. This time, it's considered paving the way for the third brother. When Li Shimin said this, an excited expression appeared on his face.
If this is the case, then there will be no problem. The aristocratic family, a force slowly formed from the Han Dynasty, should withdraw from the stage of history. Li Chengqian also said excitedly.
Looking at the little brother and father who were playing the dumb and fanatic, Li Wei felt that her mind was a little lacking. The aristocratic family became history, and she could understand this, but Li Wei couldn't figure it out why her father said she was paving the way for the third child.
Father, you just said that this is paving the way for the third child. What does this mean? Li Wei didn’t understand it in the end, so she asked Li Shimin.
Gao Ming, come and tell your sister about Li Wei’s question. Li Shimin did not answer, but asked Li Chengqian to tell Li Wei.
Sister, since we are going to destroy the aristocratic family, is it not right to connect with the officials who depend on the aristocratic family, and a large number of scholars, can we not let them go? Even if we don’t kill them, exile or never hire them, is that the final solution? And doing so can also demonstrate our father’s kindness, Li Chengqian looked at Li Wei after speaking.
This is the reason, but what does this have to do with the third brother? Li Wei saw Li Chengqian looking at him. Li Wei nodded mechanically and admitted that Li Chengqian was right.
My sister, I haven't figured it out yet, let me tell you, look, these people are mostly scholars, no matter whether they do bad things or not, anyway, many of them will be implicated in the demise of the aristocratic family, but they will not die. However, because the imperial court never hired them, they have no room for promotion. How do they live? Apart from being a farmer, they just find a wealthy family to work, but many people have enjoyed power. It is very difficult for you to let them give up. But if the third brother said he wanted to recruit these people, the condition was to leave his hometown and go to a very far place, would you say these scholars go? Li Chengqian explained to Li Wei with a smile.
When Li Chengqian's explanation was heard, Li Wei instantly understood the key point. She looked at Li Chengqian and Li Shimin smiling with an incredible look on her face. She had only one thought in her mind. Her younger brother and father were really sinister.
Sister, don’t look at me like this. This is all the meaning of our father. He has arranged it all. This has nothing to do with me. Li Chengqian saw that Li Wei looked at him incorrectly and said to Li Wei.
The same is true for you. Although you didn’t participate, you and your father have the same idea. Li Wei said to Li Chengqian angrily.
Li Chengqian didn't say anything about this, but just smiled there.
Later, Li Chengqian talked to Li Shimin about the Academy of Sciences and explained his general thoughts.
Li Shimin agreed to Li Chengqian's suggestion on the spot and appointed Mo as Duke Xingguo. The others were just as Li Chengqian said. After the morning court was announced tomorrow, the imperial edict and reward would be delivered to Mo Cheng.
After the main talks, Li Chengqian had dinner with Li Shimin in the Tai Chi Hall, and then left with Li Wei.
At this time, outside Taiyuan City, Changsun Wuji, who had just arrived in vain, quietly entered Taiyuan City under the leadership of a Mingwei.
Let’s talk about it! Are those people from the aristocratic families still waiting for settlement in the Wang family’s mansion? Changsun Wuji looked at the highest person in charge of the Mingwei in Taiyuan City and asked.
Lord, my subordinates kept monitoring the Wang family's house. The heads of all the families who came to the Wang family to discuss matters all respectfully said to Changsun Wuji after the Mingwei saluted Changsun Wuji.
Since they are all there, that's good, but you still have to tell me the specific situation about it. When Changsun Wuji heard that they were all there, a smile appeared on his face, and then he said to the Mingwei.
Lord, what is the specific thing about this is that Mingwei told Changsun Wuji about everything he had received orders from him before.
After listening to the report, Changsun Wuji felt confident and asked the Ming Guard to continue staring. He summoned Yuchi Gong, Ye Guard, who came to Taiyuan with him, and the head of the Shadow Guard, to discuss how to take down the Wang family and the heads of each family when the agreed time comes. When the discussion is over, they will prepare and wait for the time to come.
Just as Changsun Wuji was waiting for the time to come, in the old nests of the five families of seven families including Longxi, Qinghe, Zhaojun, Fanyang, Xingyang, Boling, etc., a group of Yewei, Yingwei, and Xuanjia Army, which had already arrived, were already ready. They just waited for the agreed time to take action.
Those officials who have been verified by Mingwei and have been linked to the aristocratic family are also staring at the merchant's homes, and they are also waiting for the arrival of time.
On July 2, this ordinary and extraordinary day, nine years ago, a battle of Chanyeol occurred at Xuanwu Gate, and nine years later, it will witness another event that will be recorded in history.
This day was also the day chosen by Li Shimin himself. Changsun Wuji put on his official uniform early and waited for the arrival of night.
At the same time, Zhang Gao and Wei Cheng, who finally returned to Chang'an after a month of trekking outside Chang'an, had also arrived outside Chang'an City.
Manager Zhang, we are back. Today is just the day when the emperor and grandson are full of the moon. I don’t know if your highness will like this gift from Wei Cheng, looking at Chang'an City in front of him, said to Zhang Gao beside him.
Your Highness will like this gift. Look at the people coming from the palace, let’s go over and greet them! As soon as Zhang Gao finished speaking, a team of mighty soldiers ran towards them, and Zhang Gao quickly let Wei Cheng and himself go there.
Wei Cheng received the order
The servant Wei Chengzai
I have received the spring destiny of Haotian. I am now a royal slave. I have a disabled body and do a good job as a doctor, and have opened up the territory for the Tang Dynasty. I specially named Wei and became the first-class founding county marquis of the Tang Dynasty. I have a title of loyal emperor and inherited the inheritance of the emperor. I have a fief of 3,000 yuan. I have also given a mansion and a reward of 10,000 yuan.
Wei Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned when he heard the content of the imperial edict. Although he had heard Zhang Gao say this before, he thought about it, but they did not dare to think too much. He thought that it would be a great honor to give the founding county to a title, but he did not expect that he was the first-class founding county waiter.
In fact, not only Wei Cheng himself, but also Zhang Gao and the Mingwei behind them were kneeling on the ground. Many people even had tears in their eyes. Although this title was nothing to do with them, Wei Cheng could reward him like this, which was more affirmation from them, so they were like this.
