No one thought of it.
In the end, the farce in Changzhou ended in this way.
On the next day, Li Chengqian posted notices in the city clearly stating Sun Wucheng's various crimes.
These included attempts to assassinate the prince and bribery of court officials.
It's easy to say that the previous culpability was just that his Sun family suffered disaster.
The guilt behind it is a bit interesting.
Bribery has been a taboo in the court since ancient times.
It can be said that as long as you are contaminated with these two words, it is equivalent to putting yourself on the fire.
It can range from being stripped of official robes to having his head lost at worst.
This time, Li Chengqian made a good use of the topic.
The Changzhou line, including officials from Su, Hu, and Hangzhou, as long as their names were recorded in Li Shimin's letter to himself.
He didn't miss a single thing, he took care of them all.
When those officials complained about injustice, Li Chengqian took out a ledger.
The name is good, and it was searched from the Sun family.
As for whether it is, no one knows.
But their bribery charges were completely proven.
In the next half month, Changzhou officials could be seen in prison cars on the official road leading to Chang'an City almost every day.
And when Chang'an City received the news.
Li Shimin was also quite happy.
He kept pacing back and forth in the Manna Hall, clapping his hands as he walked: "Yes, this guy did a really good job. He finally has some shadow of his father."
Seeing Li Shimin so happy.
Changsun Wuji was also happy.
He said with a smile: "Your Highness is His Majesty's son, isn't it reasonable to have your shadow?"
"However, I have to say that His Highness is growing up really fast."
"When dealing with those corrupt officials in Liangzhou, they did a lot of thankless things and even almost caused public resentment."
"But the handling of the chaos in Changzhou's officialdom was really calm, and there were even many people praising him."
"Even these praises have overshadowed all the stupid things he did before."
Changsun Wuji was naturally very satisfied with his nephew's arrangements.
In particular, his nephew helped him open Jiangnan Road, which he had once been unable to enter.
I don’t say how much money it can make for the eldest grandson’s family, but at least it can make their eldest grandson’s family gradually gain influence.
You know, there has been a rule in aristocratic families since ancient times.
It is useless to be so powerful outside, and the people should not recognize it.
The only way to prove that your family is influential is to be influential in Jiangnan Road.
Only when those aristocratic families in Jiangnan Dao that have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years recognize it can they really become an influential aristocratic family.
And I heard Changsun Wuji praising his children like this.
Li Shimin was lying when he said he was unhappy.
He said happily: "However, we haven't played with this matter yet. After all, he has just dealt with the four states of Changsu, Huhang, and Hongzhou and Tanzhou."
Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt a little melancholy.
He said: "At the beginning, I thought about letting this guy become the prince quickly and share the pressure for me earlier."
"But once this matter is dealt with, I'm afraid we will have to wait until the end of the year of the monkey."
Li Shimin shook his head and sighed: "It seems that as a father, I have to face everything alone..."
Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, Changsun Wuji really wanted to laugh.
However, he was also a little hesitant.
After all, this is mocking the emperor.
If Li Shimin is unhappy and gives himself a few charges at will, it will be enough for him.
Although, he will not kill himself.
But it doesn't mean that he won't punish himself.
Therefore, Changsun Wuji thought for a long time before he finally said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this matter."
"After all, the Jiangnan Road matter is basically the last thing he has to deal with."
"When he's done with it, he'll be free."
Changsun Wuji smiled slightly and said, "At that time, he won't be able to run away even if he wants to."
"Well, Wuji is right."
Li Shimin stroked his beard gently, a treacherous look flashed in his eyes.
He said happily: "When the time comes, I will let him experience my feelings, so that he will not think that I am just eating, drinking and having fun."
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji felt dumbfounded.
I'm afraid this father and son were enemies in their previous life, right?
…
Inside the Heyu Hall.
When I heard that the four states in Jiangnan Province were settled by Li Chengqian in one breath.
Li Tai's face turned green with anger.
Jiangnan Road was run by him through hard work.
The three major families in Jiangnan Dao are also close relatives of him.
It can be said that whether he can continue to take a step forward and whether he can move Li Chengqian down depends entirely on the wealth that Jiangnan Dao has saved for him.
But he worked hard but ruined the good situation because of Sun Wucheng's stupidity.
Not only did Li Chengqian's influence infiltrate, but all the direct descendants he had worked so hard to cultivate were involved.
Li Taina also became more and more angry as he thought about it.
He slammed his hand on the table and said angrily: "Trash, they are all a bunch of useless trash."
The little eunuch who reported the news to him said at this time: "Your Highness, this is not the time to be angry."
"That's too... uh... he has already started heading towards Suzhou."
"Looking at his posture, it will take a few days before he starts to turn towards Hongzhou."
"As for Hongzhou, it is your foundation."
"If it's even anywhere..."
The little eunuch didn't dare to say anything further and said straight away: "You have to think of a way quickly."
"Are you talking too much?"
While speaking, Li Tai glanced over, frightening the little eunuch to the point where he knelt on the ground.
He smacked his mouth in fear and said: "The little one talks too much, the little one deserves to be damned..."
"okay."
Li Tai waved his hand randomly.
Others don't know the importance of Jiangnan Road. As a person involved, it's impossible for him not to know.
If he loses control of Jiangnan Road, it will be equivalent to losing all his reliance.
If you want to go against Li Chengqian again in the future, it will basically all depend on your mouth.
He, Li Tai, doesn't have the confidence yet and thinks he can win over Li Chengqian with his words.
After all, this guy's influence now is extremely high, whether among the people or in the military.
Therefore, no matter what, Jiangnan Road cannot be lost.
But at the moment, there may be only one way to prevent Jiangnan Road from being lost.
Thinking of this, Li Tai slowly stood up and walked to the desk.
He casually picked up the pen and wrote a line of words on the paper.
When the ink dried, he handed the paper the writing was written on to the young eunuch and said, "Help me go to the city to find a doctor named Fu and give this to him."
The little eunuch hurriedly finished the note and said, "I understand, little one."
"Remember."
"I have to protect this even if I die."
Li Tai looked at the little eunuch with cold eyes and said, "Otherwise, you know the consequences."
Hearing this, the little eunuch shivered with excitement.
He didn't dare to hesitate and could only nod in agreement.
"It has nothing to do with you here, please step back."
With Li Tai's wave of his hand, the little eunuch exited the Heyu Palace.
And after the little eunuch left.
Li Tai was the only one left in the hall.
While rubbing his hands, he said secretly: "I just hope you don't let me down too much..."
