Chapter 2653 No no no, my son-in-law's money is not for nothing
Behind him were Li Ji, Li Bingbu, Ma Zhou, Fang Xuanling and other close ministers.
Cheng Chubi and Li Ke quickly stood up and greeted Li Shimin and several elders one by one.
Li Shimin stepped forward, holding one with each hand, and helped his son and son-in-law up. He looked at the haggard look between their eyebrows and their dusty clothes, and couldn't help but smile with relief.
"Hurry up and sit down. It's been quite hard for you to come all the way north, under the stars and at night."
Cheng Chubi smiled honestly, and after sitting down, his face was full of admiration.
"My father-in-law said nothing. My son-in-law and His Highness are just a little tired. It's not like my father-in-law strategizing for the country and sweating heart and blood. It's much harder than us."
When it came, it was a flattering hit with precise precision, which warmed Li Shimin's heart and stomach.
Several elders glared at Cheng Sanlang with disgust. This boy was indeed as shameless as his father.
After a few pleasantries, Li Shimin got down to business.
"My dear son-in-law Chu Bi, I believe you should also know the reasons and difficulties behind my doing this."
"This is natural. My son-in-law did not expect that the mastermind behind the scenes, in order to prevent the reform of the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty, would dare to attack me, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty."
"They intend to kill the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. If they really succeed, it will definitely shock the entire Tang Dynasty."
"At that time, for the sake of the stability of the country and the country, all the reform measures I have thought of will have to be put on hold for the time being."
"Their behavior angered my father-in-law, and you, my father-in-law, took advantage of the situation and decided to dig out the mastermind and find the real culprit."
"I can only sacrifice myself and use myself as bait. Since ancient times, no one has been able to match my father-in-law's courage and courage..."
"..." All the important ministers who had accompanied Li Shimin to the scene to discuss business matters were all staring at this shameless young man with dark expressions on their faces.
I didn't expect that he could be so shameless, and with his lotus-tongued mouth, he would make arrangements and arrangements that His Majesty had already planned.
It directly transformed into a loving father who loved his son. Because his son was attacked, he was so angry that he had no choice but to fight back.
Li Shimin looked at Cheng Sanlang who was talking seriously, even though the things this kid said just scratched his itch.
But the problem is that these ministers are all veterans who know the plan thoroughly, so even if Cheng Sanlang is talking about it again.
They did not speak out their words to ridicule, they only looked at him with disdain, which was the most implicit expression of attitude of their ministers.
"Okay, okay, dear son-in-law, please stop for a moment."
Li Shimin cleared his throat and interrupted the flattery of his beloved son-in-law who came to Jinyang Palace without caring about serious matters and began to flatter him.
I even had some doubts as to whether this boy had done something shameful in Luoyang, so I poured myself the ecstasy soup in advance.
Although he was thoughtful, Li Shimin continued to talk about serious matters.
"The reason why I asked you and Ke'er to travel to Jinyang all night is because I want to do something for everyone in the world.
In other words, make it for those wealthy families who are ready to make a move."
"The next thing they know is that you rushed to Jinyang to treat my illness."
"But there is a problem. My dear son-in-law, your ability to treat illnesses and save people is extraordinary. Now that you are here, you will definitely make those people suspicious."
"Especially those people with ulterior motives who always have their eyes on Jinyang Palace."
After only listening to Li Shimin's explanation of a few sentences, Cheng Sanlang, who had excellent understanding ability, suddenly understood.
"My son-in-law understood what my father-in-law meant. He wanted to give a hint.
It hints to those people that your serious illness has not only not improved with the arrival of your son-in-law, but has even become more serious and has reached an irreversible point."
"In this way, those behind the scenes can confidently jump to the front desk..."
Li Shimin nodded happily, stroking his long beard and smiling.
"Yes, before, I was discussing with the ministers what kind of hint would be the most suitable, but I didn't have a clue yet. My dear son-in-law, you are already here."
"So, the reason I came here this time is to ask my virtuous son-in-law if there is any way you can make them think..."
As the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was certainly not willing to talk about death all the time.
Li Ji glanced at Cheng Sanlang, rolled his eyes, and took the initiative to offer advice.
"Your Majesty, I actually think that there is a strategy that can completely misunderstand those who have ulterior motives. That is to ask your Majesty to mobilize troops and horses..."
It is indeed easy to arouse suspicion if the troops and horses move abnormally, especially if His Majesty shrinks the guards and horses towards Jinyang Palace, it is easy for people to guess that something big has happened in Jinyang Palace.
But the problem is that when mobilizing troops and horses, who knows whether you are just trying to control the situation or whether you want to take action against the wealthy families in Shanxi.
All in all, there is a lack of a reason that can make those aristocratic families feel that His Majesty's life has reached an irreversible point.
Cheng Chubi couldn't help but feel moved when he heard Li Ji's suggestions and explanations.
"Your Majesty, my son-in-law also agrees with Li Yinggong's words. However, he feels that if more ingredients are added to it, then this strategy will most likely be successful."
Ma Zhou, who had been watching from the sidelines with Fang Xuanling, couldn't help but remind Cheng Sanlang, the god of cooking in the Tang Dynasty.
"Oh? I wonder what kind of ingredients Xiao Cheng Taibao is going to mix."
After hearing Ma Zhou's question, Cheng Sanlang laughed and raised his fingers to make gestures.
"It's actually very simple. Just spending a little money can solve this big problem."
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then looked at the extremely rich son-in-law of Chu Bi with a slightly darkened face, and couldn't help scolding him.
"It can be solved with money. Xianxiang, do you want to use money to bribe the informants of those wealthy families?"
"Good son-in-law, I'm not telling you that you may not be brave enough to follow this path."
"No, no, no, my son-in-law didn't get his money for free. How could he use it to bribe those traitors in his country?"
Cheng Chubi shook his head rapidly, directly denying Li Shimin's guess.
At this time, Fang Xuanling, who had been stroking his long beard and keeping silent, finally couldn't help it anymore, opened his eyes and shouted softly.
"...Cheng Sanlang, can you please be more relaxed? What exactly do you want to do to induce those behind the scenes to make wrong judgments?"
"Actually, it's very simple. It's just to purchase some things quietly in Jinyang City through the Han and Tang Dynasty trading houses."
"Something...what kind of thing?"
"Well, just buy some paper, white linen and so on..."
"If you want to be more explicit, then order a batch of paper figures, paper horses, white flags and so on in Jinyang City."
