"Pass it here." Li Shimin stared at the memorial on Wei Zheng's palm and said coldly.

After the chamberlain collected the memorial from Wei Zheng, he gave it to Li Shimin. After reading it, he threw the memorial to the ground with a bang and shouted angrily, "Lu Jiayao, do you think I am a fool?"

Lu Jiayao couldn't help but tremble, but he was sure that Li Shimin didn't dare to take action against people from the big family, so he couldn't help but said, "I don't understand what your majesty means."

The most terrifying people in the world are not bottomless people, but scoundrels, complete scoundrels.

"You don't understand?" Li Shimin felt cold all over his body. If it weren't for the concern about the local status of these people, he would have asked the guards to pull them all out and kill them. But after seeing the memorial, he

I was really angry. Although Fan Yang had a lot of land, they were also hit by disasters this time. However, the most terrible place to suffer was not the people, but the Lu family. Not because they were really generous, but because

Most of the land in Fan Yang is in the hands of their family. The things these people did in order to save their land would definitely be a death penalty if they were taken out one by one and dealt with according to the law.

But, now he has no way to do this. Didn't Yang Guang just want to deal with these people? In the end, he dealt with himself. He can control the chaos in the world, but if they do it deliberately, they will be in trouble.

Well, these big families have been making trouble in it since ancient times. Many people said that the Sui Dynasty was messed up by Yang Guang. This is right or wrong, because when the country started to have troubles, how many big families supported it

People like bandits may not even know it themselves.

"Weichen really doesn't understand." Lu Jiayao shook her head cleanly. She had encountered this kind of thing many times. At this time, if you say this, people won't care. If you really get him

If they die, these families will receive supreme glory, because they will become heroes in this way.

"The Fanyang Lu family has only been around for a few hundred years. How did you get so much land? Does it mean that none of this land belongs to your family?" Li Shimin asked coldly, pointing to the memorial, and then, without waiting for the other party to speak,

He continued, "You also said that you are a farming and studying family and do not do business, but just study and pass down the family. However, your family's business has spread all over the Tang Dynasty, and you have transactions with foreigners, and you can take grain and ironware from the Tang Dynasty.

If you go out and sell it, what else don’t you know?”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is slander. It is Wei Zheng and the prince's slander against the Fan Yang Lu family. Our family has a little more land, but it is definitely not that much." Lu Jiayao would definitely not admit it, otherwise it would be bad luck.

Yes, he had already seen Li Shimin's eyes turning red. At this time, if he really said it, it would be troublesome.

"How much land does your Fanyang Lu family have in total?" Li Shimin then asked, his words a little strange, only Cheng Yaojin seemed to have thought of something and glanced at him.

"There should only be tens of thousands of acres of land." Lu Jiayao naturally didn't know that. Although he was from the Lu family, he was not the head of the family. The head of the Lu family was Lu Chengqing. He was just a face-saving person now.

"Well, Wei Zheng talked too much about your family's land, right?" Li Shimin nodded, then looked at them and asked.

The other people were naturally willing to nod, "Your Majesty is wise."

"In this case, there are still countless people in the Tang Dynasty who have no land, and your land is not clear. This is not a good thing. Come, send a message to Songzhou Hou Yetan, go to Hongnong, Qinghe, Langya,

There must be no mistake in measuring the land of Bohai, Yingchuan and Fanyang."

Everyone was dumbfounded. What kind of thing is this? Isn't it nonsense to ask a governor to go there to measure the land?

But at this time, no one dared to say anything because Li Shimin's fingers were trembling. But they didn't dare, but it didn't mean that no one dared.

Chai Shao stood up again and said, "Your Majesty, the previous impeachment of Ye Tan by a small minister has not yet come to an end. Now I ask him to do these things. Isn't it appropriate?"

"What, you want to resist the order?" Li Shimin stared at him coldly and asked, as if he would use force if he disagreed.

"I don't dare. It's just that Ye Tan is just the governor of Songzhou. How to go to these places to measure the land is unjust and unreasonable. Moreover, someone has already reported his self-respect for the army. If he is allowed to take Songzhou with him at this moment,

If the border troops of Songzhou appear, how will Songzhou's defense take shape?" Chai Shao heard his men talking about Songzhou. Now Songzhou is a huge piece of fat. Anyone wants to get involved, but there is no way.

Chances are, although Ye Tan is young, he has a very strong temper. If you don't have a valid reason for such a person, something will happen to you.

"Of course he can't take the border troops with him when he goes to measure the land. Let's take the prince with him, and the prince will follow." After Li Shimin said this, he was about to leave when he heard Changsun Wuji, who had been silent on the side, interjected.

, "Your Majesty, for this disaster relief, all the state governments have sent people. Only Songzhou has not sent anyone. Do you want to send someone to see if there is really no need for disaster relief, or is someone concealing the disaster? If it is true.

There is no need, Ye Tan's talent is great. In this case, is it a bit overkill to keep him at the frontier? Can he be brought to the capital and placed in the six departments, so as to reserve talents for the country?"

Changsun Wuji's words are nice to hear, but anyone who is thoughtful knows that he wants Ye Tan to come back. You won't be able to jump up and down in Chang'an, because all government offices have rules, unlike Songzhou, Tian

The Emperor Gao is so far away that you have no way of directly managing him.

"I am free to take care of this matter. You can go down." After Li Shimin said that, he turned and left the court. Several people from the big families looked at each other and hurried back to inform their families that this matter did not seem to be so.

It was solved easily. The imperial court also sent many people down before, but because they were all their own people, they checked for a long time and found nothing. But this time it was Ye Tan. Such a thing was very troublesome.

If these people really didn't know about the previous assassination, forget it, but they knew about it, which means they knew about such things even if they were involved.

Seeing a large group of people leaving, Li Chengqian turned around and followed Li Shimin to the back, while Cheng Yaojin walked up to Wei Zheng and said, "Master Wei, what do you think your Majesty means? Why would you let Ye Tan handle this matter?

, this guy is not someone to be trifled with."

"The country is stable, but some people are restless, so we need to deal with the thorns. However, even if His Majesty wants to let them go this time, it may not be easy." He waved his hand, turned around and left.

.

Chai Shao felt as if he had been forgotten. Changsun Wuji ignored him, so he turned around and left the lobby, feeling a little disappointed, and went home.

Just now, Li Shimin did not pursue the matter of sending someone to assassinate him, which was considered a leniency. However, in his mind, such behavior was nothing. It was just no wonder that his own son never came back and was actually killed by Ye Tan.

This hatred is getting bigger and bigger.

Cui Zhao had just gone to court and went home. Then he said to the people around him, "Hurry up and inform the head of the family that something bad happened this time."

The servant nodded, turned around and rode away, carrying a letter in his arms.

Mrs. Zheng has become even more powerful since she dealt with Cui Qingchen's mother Zhao Ling'er. However, she still has some feelings for Cui Zhao, so when she saw him sitting in the living room drinking tea with a gloomy face, she couldn't help but ask

He said, "Master, what happened to make you so anxious?"

After drinking a few sips of hot tea, he felt a lot more comfortable. The sweat on his body started to break down. He glanced at Mrs. Zheng and couldn't help but said, "Although someone may tell you Mr. Zheng of Xingyang, if you have time,

It’s better to inform you again that His Majesty has sent someone to check your fields.”

"What?" The tea bowl in Zheng's hand fell directly to the ground, and the steaming tea and tea leaves were scattered on the ground. She may have felt that she had lost her temper, so she asked the people below to put things away and looked at Cui Zhaodao.

, "Master, is there anything different this time?"

In the past, people in my own family would check on my own family members, and nothing major would happen at all, but this time it seems that my husband is acting a little strange.

There are Zheng Boling and others in the court, so they will naturally not fail to notify them. However, Zheng Boling and other members of the Zheng family, such as Zheng Benyu, are all noble officials with little power. Relying on the will of the family, they do not

People dare to touch it, but if His Majesty is really determined to investigate, it may really cause bad things, because no one's butt is clean.

"I heard that the person sent this time is Songzhou Hou Yetan, who is a ruthless character." Although Cui Zhao didn't understand the inside story, he heard today that all the sons of Chai Shao's family were killed, which shows that he is not an ordinary person.

"Ye Tan? Is that the one from the country?" Although the Zheng family is a side branch, it does not mean that they do not have the so-called dignity. For them, except for a few big families, they are all country people, and they are all country bumpkins.

People have nothing to worry about. If they dare to act recklessly, they will be killed immediately and no one will dare to act recklessly.

"Yes, he is from the countryside. Because of this, I am even more worried, because these people have nothing, and if they act recklessly, they will be in trouble." Cui Zhao scratched his head and expressed that he was very depressed.

"Pfft, hehe, Master, you are overthinking. Such a thing is not difficult. He probably won't go directly there, will he come to the capital?" Zheng thought for a moment and asked with a smile.

"This is for sure. Without His Majesty's will, he would not dare to go directly." Cui Zhao nodded.

"Then let's do something interesting on the way here." The cold light emanating from the eyes of Zheng's jade-covered head made Cui Zhao nod. Anyone who is not used by the big family should be damned. .

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian standing in front of him and couldn't help but said in his heart, "If you are too tired, just sit down instead of standing."

Li Chengqian originally wanted to say no, but he was really too tired. He had traveled back and forth to many places recently and encountered too many injustices, but he was powerless when it came to big families.

I originally thought that I could at least do something by relying on my reputation as a prince, but in the end I found that I couldn't do anything. I was providing disaster relief while others seemed to be waiting for something to happen. This feeling was really uncomfortable.

When he sat down, his body trembled for a moment, and then he looked at Li Shimin and said, "Father, why do you want your brother to investigate those things? I am worried..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Shimin directly stated the reason, "Cheng Qian, although he is a good friend, he is too independent. Although this incident is not big, it is not small. Let him It's for his own good to be embarrassed in front of those big families. He can't be too independent in doing things in the future, otherwise, he will definitely cause big trouble one day."

"But my father, my brother's character is that as long as it is correct and has rules, he will do things well and finish them. He doesn't like to give up halfway. If the blood is really shed by then, what will happen? Okay?" Li Chengqian leaned on the brocade couch, feeling much better and asked softly.

"As long as the powerful people in the world don't rebel, let him go. I will give him the privilege of doing things cheaply. I just hope that he will not live up to his high expectations." After Li Shimin said this, he looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Today, what your uncle said, Do you have any idea?"

"Uncle? Father, are you talking about Chai Shao? I have no idea. It's just that this man is too courageous and dares to assassinate me. I'm really a little scared." Li Chengqian said disdainfully, such behavior is It's embarrassing, very embarrassing, it's been like this since ancient times.

"His behavior was shameful, but I didn't pursue it. Do you know why?" Li Shimin took a sip of hot tea and asked casually.

"Is it because of his power in the army or because of his eyeballs?" Li Chengqian asked in confusion. Such people are simply a shame to the Tang Dynasty.

"We all have this consideration, but the most important thing is that he is a hero of our Tang Dynasty. If he is punished because of this incident, it will make other people feel cold." Li Shimin looked at his son and said with satisfaction.

"Oh, I understand. It's just that I need to go back and take a rest now, and then inform Sun Dechao that if I go out with my brother this time, I will definitely learn some good things. I want to go, but unfortunately, I can't go." Li Cheng He smiled dryly and said a few words, then stood up, turned around and left.

When Li Chengqian couldn't see it, Li Shimin suddenly threw the tea bowl in his hand on the ground and said angrily, "They are all a group of people who are not afraid of death. Let me see how you are not afraid of death this time?"

Li Chengqian did not go back to his East Palace immediately, but went to Qinli Pavilion, mainly to accompany Li Lizhi and talk some empty words. However, when he left and returned to the East Palace, he lay on the bed and fell asleep.
