The aristocratic family has never been of the same mind as Li Shimin.
This time, the heads of the big families in Luoyang looked very ugly, and they gathered together to discuss what they should do next.
In front of them were Li Shimin's men. Although they were small in number, they did not dare to take risks.
Finally, you look at me and I look at you, and finally sigh.
If they really dare to take action, let alone the people who appear in front of them who know their actions well, and they are their enemies, even if they can defeat these people, the Luoyang army has just marched towards Jinling, and Chang'an still has many When the army is assembled, they really can't make any waves. They can only be regarded as meat on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others.
But just as they continued to sigh there, not knowing what choice to make for a moment, the door of the room they were in was pushed open again, and an unexpected figure appeared in front of them.
Wang Huan?
Everyone was confused when they saw Wang Huan coming in triumphantly, but Wang Huan looked at them and smiled.
"Good morning everyone!"
After Wang Huan finished speaking, everyone in front of them looked at Wang Huan and didn't know what decision to make.
They were originally going to assassinate Wang Huan, but now Wang Huan appeared in front of them. Although he hadn't started taking action yet, would the people standing next to him not tell him?
"It's all our fault, Wang Zhijun."
Everyone's words almost made Wang Huan grin from the corners of his mouth to his ears.
"It's good to know that it's your fault. I have an idea that His Majesty is so wise and powerful."
As soon as Wang Huan said this, everyone looked at Wang Huan hurriedly, waiting for Wang Huan to tell him what kind of method he had to grab the only life-saving straw.
Wang Huan did not disappoint them, he looked at them and started talking.
"Your Majesty has such a benevolent government. In the future, as long as you give up your advantages, distribute the land you control to the poor people in Luoyang, and make your books available to the scholars and apprentices in Luoyang for free, your Majesty will not give you any trouble, right? "
The two conditions for most aristocratic families to survive are mastering poetry and books, and the other is a large amount of land.
Wang Huan's move can be said to be giving away their property and books to others for free.
After all these things, who still thinks they are human beings? Will you still beg them?
However, seeing Wang Huan smiling and talking so lightly, the faces of these people from the aristocratic families were so gloomy that they were about to shed tears.
"Don't we have any other choice?"
After an old man asked weakly, Wang Huan sat down next to them with a golden sword.
"Yes, you take a knife and hit me with a knife. Needless to say, you can also do it together with those outside the door. As long as we are all dealt with, no one will know what happened today.
But if one of us runs away, what's waiting for you is a big army to surround and uproot us. "
Wang Huan was telling the truth. It seemed that their plan had reached Wang Huan's ears early on.
"You...how did you know our plan?"
These people suddenly said such a sentence, and one of them stood up in embarrassment.
"How do you say this?"
Looking at the head of a wealthy family who had been drifting with the crowd as he stood up, everyone was very curious and didn't know what he was going to say.
This man was also a little embarrassed, scratching his head and head in embarrassment.
"How should I put it? Governor Wang's wife is the daughter of my wife's distant cousin."
Now they knew why the news leaked.
"Well, you old guy actually did such a thing. It's a shame that we still trust you so much."
Most of the people in these ten families were filled with indignation one by one.
Ying, but after meeting Wang Huan's face, he instantly became a well-behaved chicken again.
Regardless of whether Wang Huan knew their intelligence information or not, there was a message sent by a wealthy family who had different intentions from them. What secrets could they keep in front of them?
In the end, the family had no choice but to admit defeat.
"Okay, let's follow Governor Wang's arrangements, but I don't know how your majesty will arrange for me?"
"What do you think? Why does His Majesty want to settle you? Aren't you still living your life in Luoyang?
Although your property and books are gone, you still have a lot of business, won't it also allow you to have enough food and clothing? "
Wang Huan's decisive words made these aristocratic families heave a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they were not uprooted, but a large part of their source of assets was taken away.
After many aristocratic families breathed a sigh of relief, under the leadership of Wang Huan, his distant uncle, many people with status and status stood up and bowed in the direction of Chang'an.
"I have realized my mistake. I am grateful to His Majesty for not killing him. I will never cause any more trouble to Your Majesty. Everything is entirely up to Your Majesty!"
Wang Huan smiled and nodded, and such situations were common among the Sixteenth General in Chang'an.
Although they wouldn't go so far as to wipe the necks of their local officials with a knife, this wealthy family would raise a lot of questions just by scratching at them, and it would be easy for them to hand over the property books in their hands with peace of mind.
After passing Luoyang and entering the Yangtze River, Li Jing sat in the command of a battleship with his majestic sword. Next to him stood Zhang Liang and Cheng Yaojin. The two of them looked at Li Jing in front of them with a little embarrassment.
"General, we know that the general has a plan, but we just ignore you and go straight down the river to Jinling. Is there really no problem?"
After the two said this, Li Jing looked up at them.
"What do you mean by this? Are you still worried that if we go down the river, Jinling will ambush me and wait?"
As soon as Li Jinggang finished speaking, Zhang Liang and Cheng Yaojin shook their heads hurriedly.
"How could we doubt General Li's arrangements? What's more, there are several fast ships ahead. If there is really a situation, they will report to us as soon as possible. But we don't have enough food and supplies. It's worth going to Jinling like this. If we cannot win Jinling in one battle, we will be passive."
Li Jing laughed when he heard what Zhang Liang and Cheng Yaojin said.
"You just think too much. There are granaries of our Tang Dynasty everywhere, and there are grain and material reserves under our own control everywhere.
Your Majesty has given orders to act expeditiously. Our army will be able to obtain supplies at any time when it arrives. What do you have to worry about? "
This is too easy to say, Zhang Liang and Cheng Yaojin grinned. Although Li Jing is right, there are no Tang army guards at any food and grass supply point. No matter whether they listen to us or not, it is always a problem.
Zhang Liang and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. They couldn't fight directly, right? They were all our own people, who could do it?
Although it is not that they have never beaten their own people, they were not Tang Jun at that time, right? Now these are all genuine Tang troops, whether they are Li Shimin's Zhong Tang or Li Yuan's Bo Tang.
Although Zhang Liang and Cheng Yaojin were a little worried, they still stood by Li Jing's side honestly. It was not the first time Li Jing attacked Jinling. This was the second time. He should have thought more carefully than himself.
Jinling received the news from Li Yuan that Li Jing, whom he had always believed to be the military god of the Tang Dynasty, was leading an invasion. His face was neither happy nor sad. No one could tell what the expression was or what the thoughts were.
However, the head of the Xie family didn't take it seriously and made extensive arrangements in the court.
As long as you are a general, you can expand your manpower. As long as you are responsible for food and grass,
Try your best to provide food and grass.
As for other officials, those who should provide weapons should provide weapons, and those who should provide war horses should provide war horses.
Those who can make warships must provide sufficient warships. As long as they have a large number of people, even a mob can defeat Li Jing. Everyone present understands the principle that an elephant will be killed by ants.
But just as the head of the Xie family said this, he completely removed Li Yuan's power, and all the officials followed the head of the Xie family.
But good things always happen unexpectedly, and someone suddenly came to report outside the door.
"Report! Your Majesty, something is going to happen soon!"
Seeing a guard coming in, he knelt down on one knee after cupping his fists at Li Yuan. Although everyone was looking at the soldier, no one cared whether the soldier was truly reporting the news to Li Yuan.
However, Li Yuan still waved his hand, "What's the matter? Get up and talk. Now he already knows his helplessness. At such an age, he is forced to come to the court to do such things. Being treated as a puppet is not good for him. It is extremely difficult, not to mention that Li Shimin has already given him a grand burial, so who can say clearly whether he is alive or dead?"
Although the head of the Xie family keeps saying that Li Shimin of Chang'an is fake, more people who have seen Li Shimin in Chang'an know that it is true.
Since Li Shimin over there in Chang'an is real, Li Yuan here is fake, but Li Yuan has a special status and has seen more of them.
Some people recognized Li Yuan and firmly believed that this was also Li Yuan, which made them a little confused as to what was going on.
However, the Xie family added fuel to the fire and Li Shimin killed his brother, seized the throne of the emperor, and imprisoned his father. Can his father remain safe and sound as the supreme emperor in the palace?
impossible!
So there is this scene now.
Li Yuan came to Jinling and ascended the throne as emperor, summoned troops and horses to prepare to attack Li Shimin in Chang'an, and waited until the world was in his hands at once.
However, after the soldier stood up, Li Yuan looked at him and waited for his news. The soldier did not keep the other people who were also eager to wait for a long time, and hurriedly started talking there.
"Reply to your majesty, return to the prime minister, return to your lords' words."
This soldier was also smart. After saluting one by one, he started talking.
"His Royal Highnesses King Wu and King Wei of the Tang Dynasty have arrived at Jinling City. I wonder if Your Majesty will allow them to pay homage to them?"
"What? Are you telling the truth?"
At this moment, Li Yuan suddenly stood up from his seat.
The kings of Wu and Wei in the Tang Dynasty mentioned by the messengers were none other than Li Ke, the king of Wu, and Li Tai, the king of Wei.
The two of them were reduced to civilians by Li Shimin, and were given the same royal title again by Li Yuan. Their treatment was exactly the same as before.
Li Yuan asked uncertainly. The guard next to him hurriedly asked again, and the guard kneeling below hurriedly spoke again.
"As far as your Majesty is concerned, it is really His Royal Highnesses King Wei and King Wu who are here. They are already waiting outside the palace. I wonder how Your Majesty will arrange it."
The guard replied and confirmed that the people outside were Wu Wang Li Ke and Wei Wang Li Tai. Li Yuan couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Quick, let them in!"
After Li Yuan finished speaking, two figures in ordinary clothes hurriedly appeared outside the hall and hurriedly entered the hall.
Although the two of them were dressed in ordinary clothes, who were they if they weren't Li Tai and Li Ke? Li Yuan is not blind and does not know who is coming. Although he is old now, he still has no problem recognizing people.
"Grandpa Huang!"
Li Ke and Li Tai saw that it was really Li Yuan. They couldn't help but feel sore in their noses and shed tears, not only because they were wronged, but also because they finally saw their relatives.
