Some family heads expressed doubts about Shangguan Yunque's words.
"That's dozens of dead soldiers, and the Jiang family leader also invited the Jianghu Killer Organization to take action. Can His Majesty and those generals really defeat them? What's more, as His Majesty, it's impossible to travel with just that few people, right?"
"That's right." As soon as he said this, many family members agreed.
The debate gradually became louder, and the issue of the Jiang family's dead soldiers was brought up again. Some people said that if all the Jiang family's dead soldiers had not been lost, they would not know the news now only through official notifications. Words
The words were full of denials about the strength of Jiang family’s dead soldiers.
At this moment, Li Ye, who was at the head of the table, lightly knocked on the table.
"Everyone, we've had enough noise. Why don't you just listen to what I have to say?"
All the family heads turned to look at Li Ye, who was in charge of the overall situation. With the support of so many family heads, his strength should not be underestimated. More importantly, with his status, it was possible for many prominent families to achieve success.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Li Yecai spoke slowly: "Actually, it doesn't matter who killed the person or who was injured. Whether it was the imperial examination riot or the Yuncheng assassination, all we want is one of His Majesty's today.
manner."
"Now that His Majesty's attitude is clear, it depends on whether you can grasp it."
"Are you sure?" The heads of the family were a little confused. The head of the Jiang family and Shangguan Yunque looked at Li Ye if they had any idea.
Li Ye smiled and said: "That's right, in the imperial examination we are testing whether His Majesty's attitude towards governing the country is gentle or tough. This assassination is to test whether His Majesty has any plan to fight. Looking at the news now, His Majesty is actually very strong."
"How do you say that?" Shangguan Yunque asked.
Li Ye pointed to the news in the bulletin: "These dead soldiers are definitely not something that the county officials can deal with, but look what your Majesty did? Not only did he let the county officials take the credit, he also reported that the two generals Luo Wu Luozhang were injured. Although
Your Majesty and several generals did indeed commit lone wolf actions in the north. A few of them dared to go deep into the enemy camp and burn the granary. But now that he is your Majesty, who would believe that he really only brought a few soldiers with him?
Do you dare to come out alone?"
"you mean?"
Li Ye looked at the head of the family who asked the question and replied solemnly: "Of course it is impossible for your Majesty to bring only so many people. The fact that the two generals Luo Wu and Luo Zhang were injured and returned to Chang'an must be false. The reason why Your Majesty is like this is because he is worried about me and others."
You are too cowardly, and you deliberately uttered words to ridicule us, just to embolden some reckless men with ill intentions and cowardice."
"Your Majesty is going to play a bright card."
Many family heads were extremely shocked. They did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty was so courageous. The person who plays the chess game always stays behind the scenes. No matter how the chess pieces in the game rush, they will not hurt the player in the slightest.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty did the opposite and entered the situation to show the world that he was truly brave.
The He family is considered to be a weaker family among the eighteen families. The head of the family, He Ruoyun, is somewhat powerful, but the family interests are too involved and all parties are constrained to do anything, so they choose to develop steadily, so they have developed a steady and steady attitude.
character.
After the analysis, He Ruoyun raised an objection: "According to what everyone said, His Majesty wants to play a clear card. If we don't take the initiative, how will he respond?" This proposal was obviously to stabilize the situation first.
Li Ye shook his head and sighed: "As you said, I also want to gradually develop with you until the big man can no longer suppress our banner, but how can things always go as planned? Your Majesty's bright card is not only to hold the world's flag, but also to
Are you eradicating threats to the world?"
"What do you mean?" He Ruoyun asked.
Li Ye explained: "Your Majesty is touring the country to win a quick victory. Even if he brings manpower with him when he goes deep into the major state roads, he will not need to lurk much. If there are any rebels on the various state roads, your Majesty will come to you personally."
The home court must be one where you are strong and the other is weak. If anyone dares to take action, he or she will fight face to face with His Majesty. If he wins, the world will fall into chaos. Those who are in trouble will speak according to their own abilities. If they lose, Your Majesty will easily eliminate the hidden danger."
"But if we don't take action this time, we will never have the chance to take action again."
He Ruoyun: "How to say?"
"People's hearts." Li Ye put it bluntly.
Indeed, His Majesty tours the country and goes to various states and roads to monitor, and he does not bring many people with him. In this way, both the people and his subordinates will see whether the local officials and forces have hidden treason. If they dare not take action, even if they have treason, they will not have the strength.
I won't get any more help in the future.
Your Majesty doesn't even dare to take action without someone coming in person. Why do others believe that you can conquer the world?
On the other hand, if you successfully kill His Majesty the Emperor, you can use this to build momentum for the restoration of the Tang Dynasty and be countless steps ahead of others.
With the increase and decrease, taking action has become what the rebels must do.
Without this trip, they could have waited for a few more years or more than ten years, but now, they had no choice but to wait any longer.
So when Li Ye mentioned the word "people's hearts", everyone understood almost instantly that they were all wealthy merchants and businessmen in Suzhou and Hangzhou. The most important thing when doing business with others was the interests and the strength of the other party. If someone found someone who wanted to do business,
A business deal of 100,000 taels of silver, but he couldn’t even come up with 10 taels. Who would do business with him in the future?
The principles are the same.
"In that case, let's do it! If His Majesty really dares to come to Suzhou and Hangzhou, we and the Eighteenth Family will not make it easy for him."
"That is, everyone is equal in the world, so wouldn't those tenants below me want to come over and ride on my head to dominate me? My Chen family will not do such stupid things."
Shangguan Yunque also spoke: "Everyone, every article of His Majesty's new policy is aimed at the powerful class like us. If there were no powerful people, what kind of chaos would the world be like? I, Shangguan Yunque, will never allow such a thing to happen."
"Okay," Li Ye stood up suddenly: "Since everyone is so united, let's do something big. I, Li Ye, don't have much ability. I can make strategies and command troops. As long as Your Majesty dares to come, everyone will
As long as you listen to my deployment, now Jiangnan East Road officials at all levels have people from major families, so you can definitely give it a try!"
"I am willing to follow General Li in his rebellion."
Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
The Shuidu Supervisory Transport Envoy in charge of water transport heard that His Majesty was going straight down the Jiangnan Road along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and his legs were already trembling. He mobilized water transport officers and soldiers from various places overnight and informed officials at all levels of the seriousness of the matter. Anyone who takes it lightly will be punished.
It's a serious matter of losing one's head.
Instigated by officers and soldiers at all levels, a vigorous overhaul of both sides of the canal was launched in front of the eyes of countless people.
Under the water transport, there are also canal gangs.
No one knows whether the Li family has infiltrated the water transportation issue, but the Cao Gang is in the hands of another distant relative of the Li family, Li Shun. During the Tang Dynasty, the Cao Gang was divided into the Hedong Gang and the Hexi Gang. On the surface, there were often conflicts.
The battle is actually under the control of Li Shun.
