Chapter 659: Family Riots

The Voice of Tang Dynasty has become a huge hit and has become a national participation program.

Nowadays, newspapers and periodicals are full of articles discussing the good voice of Datang.

In the streets and alleys, if you listen carefully to the conversations of the people, you cannot do without the good voice of the Tang Dynasty.

And the students who participated in the first batch of Datang’s Good Voice became completely popular.

This kind of fire was something they didn't even expect.

As the developer of this program, Li Min was relieved when he saw this situation.

Finally, my efforts were not in vain, and I did not ruin this program in my own hands.

Li Min's focus is actually no longer here.

It seems that everyone is participating, even the elderly and children love it very much, and it seems that everyone is watching the program.

In fact, some people still don't pay attention to this.

Because there are more attractive things that attract them deeply.

These people are naturally those from aristocratic families.

After a period of negotiation, they finally took action.

Another early morning court meeting, an official from the Ministry of Revenue stood up and said: "I would like to report to you, Your Majesty, I have this memorial."

Emperor Li Ke nodded and said, "I wonder if Su Aiqing has anything to report? Just say it."

Su Aiqing immediately said: "Your Majesty, now the King of Shu has been granted the title of Overseas Golden State, and the King of Shu has lived up to expectations and established Huaxia City in the Golden State, completely establishing a firm foothold."

Hearing this, Li Ke's eyes couldn't help but light up, and a strange color flashed across his face.

However, this strange color disappeared in a flash and was not noticed by others.

The other ministers also had thoughtful looks on their faces.

However, some people still have a bit of confusion on their faces.

For example, those generals.

Of course, veterans like Cheng Yaojin and others.

Dead and sick, there are not many people left.

For example, Chen Yaojin is one of the few remaining veterans.

Now he has less errands to do, and he is enjoying his time at home, entertaining his grandchildren, and taking care of himself.

Don't look at this old guy's fiery temper. He is usually very unambiguous when it comes to his godson. He doesn't care about anything and will only catch him and give him a good beating first.

But I really love my grandson very much.

Whoever dares to lay a finger on his grandson will be torn apart by him.

As for the other ministers, they all guessed some of Su Aiqing's thoughts.

Of course Su Aiqing is not his real name, his real name is Su Wei.

This Su Wei was single-handedly supported by the aristocratic family.

His words, deeds, and actions all represent the interests of the family.

Now, at least 40% of the entire court are composed of children from poor families.

This was already a rare thing in the Tang Dynasty.

Because the remaining 60% of officials from aristocratic families are not of one mind.

Because not all aristocratic families belong to the same faction.

There are also factional disputes among them.

Therefore, in this way, in the usual court gatherings, it is the children from poor families who account for 40% of the power, and they have a certain advantage.

Of course, these disciples from humble families naturally work together when fighting against noble families.

But there are still huge differences on many issues.

Even some of these Han disciples were gradually bribed by aristocratic families.

After being the emperor for many years, Li Ke realized the difficulties of being the emperor.

He even began to understand why his sixth brother, who clearly had the ability to rise to the top, had never been able to rise to the top.

Thinking of this, Su Wei continued to say: "However, no matter how powerful the King of Shu is, he is just one person."

"And the local indigenous people are everywhere. Isn't there tens of millions of them?"

"So, the King of Shu is actually in a very dangerous situation in the Golden State."

After hearing what Su Wei said, many people couldn't help but sneer at him.

Haven’t you watched the promotional video for King of Shu?

How is the King of Shu in danger?

There are naturally a lot of local indigenous people, but they are definitely not as numerous as tens of millions of people.

How many people are there?

How can it be 100 million!

Today's Tang Dynasty is far from having such a large population.

The Golden State is just a small place - well, okay, the Golden State is actually much bigger than the Tang Dynasty.

But Nagara is sparsely populated and definitely not as large as Datang.

If there are tens of millions of people, it will be as high as the sky.

Moreover, judging from the promotional video shot by the King of Shu, the relationship between the natives and the people of the King of Shu is very good!

Which eye did you see the danger with?

Of course, regarding the decision of the King of Shu, in fact, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty did not guess what the King of Shu was thinking.

They all believed that King Shu's method of winning people's hearts was certainly effective in the early stages.

But in the later stage, I'm afraid there will be counter-effects.

Because if you go to the Golden State, sooner or later you will have to establish a state.

Therefore, the relationship with the local indigenous people is inevitable.

The better your relationship is now, the greater the hatred will be when conflict occurs.

The other party will feel that you betrayed and deceived him.

Instead, it would be better to conquer them when you go there, scare them, and enslave them for construction.

In this way, after the founding of the country, there will be no internal or external troubles.

While they were thinking and guessing, what did Su Wei mean by telling lies with his eyes open like this?

I heard Su Wei continue to say: "Your Majesty, the Golden State is an important strategic stronghold for us overseas, and we must not allow any mistakes!"

"And the manpower of the King of Shu must be too few! Therefore, Wei Chen means that we can mobilize civil forces to go to the Golden State to assist the King of Shu and jointly protect the Golden State!"

After listening to Su Wei's words, many officials cursed in their hearts for being shameless.

How is this meant to assist the King of Shu and jointly protect the Golden State?

This was obviously because they began to salivate after seeing the wealth of the Golden State, and couldn't help but have their own thoughts.

At this time, Emperor Li Ke's eyes lit up.

He thought to himself: Sixth Brother’s guess is correct, these people from aristocratic families have indeed been deceived!

Li Ke almost couldn't hold it back and agreed to their request on the spot.

Li Ke now really wants to get all the people from these aristocratic families out of the Tang Dynasty.

When the time comes, let Sixth Brother take care of them.

In the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke was very good at cleaning up these aristocratic families.

But the sixth brother didn't have the slightest worry about dealing with them overseas.

However, Li Ke also knew that if he agreed too readily, the members of these aristocratic families, all of whom were very clever, would definitely become suspicious.

Therefore, Li Ke did not speak in a hurry, but looked at the civil and military officials below.

At this time, an official from another aristocratic family faction immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, what Comrade Su said makes sense!"

"The Golden State is an important overseas deployment for us and must not be missed."

"The Golden State has a vast territory and rich resources, even greater than our Tang Dynasty. If it cannot be controlled by us, it will definitely be a major threat to us in the future."

"Since this place is so important, we must send more troops, more manpower, and more financial and material resources!"

"This can even be regarded as a top priority for the development of the imperial court within ten years."

Good guy, this one is even more ruthless.

Not only did he ask the emperor to send more people to the Golden State, he also raised this issue to the level of a national policy.

Next, officials from the aristocratic family factions appeared one after another, and one by one stated the need to develop the Golden State from various aspects.

It seems that if the Golden State is not captured immediately, the Golden State will soon grow and become their formidable enemy.

If the Tang Dynasty did not pay attention to the Golden State, then they would soon perish.

"What nonsense!"

At this moment, they heard an official stand up and scold them loudly.

Everyone looked up and found that this official was one of the officials from a poor family.

This official is tall, square-faced, broad-mouthed, and looks upright.

His name is Fang Cheng.

Fang Cheng scolded: "The Golden State is naturally a strategic target."

"However, the Golden State has been entrusted to the King of Shu by the Emperor. At present, the King of Shu is developing very smoothly, so where is the danger?"

"Now, there are so many national affairs that require your colleagues to worry about, so why should you cling to the issue of the Golden State?"

Immediately, Su Wei stood up and said: "Comrade Fang's words are wrong. Our most important issue now is the issue of the Golden State!"

"Hasn't Comrade Fang seen the importance of the Golden State? Come on, let me analyze it for you!"

Hearing Su Wei's words, Fang Cheng suddenly said with disdain: "Bah! You are a running dog of a noble family! Aren't you working hard for your master?"

"The Golden State is the entrusted land of the King of Shu. You aristocratic families should give up on this! If you want to get involved in the Golden State, don't even think about it!"

After hearing Fang Cheng's words, Emperor Li Ke sighed slightly in his heart.

This Fang Cheng is naturally a man of character.

But this temperament is a bit too irritable.

Can such words be said here?

How serious the consequences will be if you speak out?

Li Ke has always wanted to reuse this recipe.

However, with his temperament and personality, it seems that he still needs a few more years of training before he can be reused!

As for Su Wei over there, his nose was almost twisted with anger when he heard Fang Cheng's words.

There is a saying that says, "Don't slap someone in the face when you hit someone, don't expose someone's shortcomings when you scold someone. Haven't you heard of it?"

Su Wei suddenly said angrily: "The man surnamed Fang openly insulted the imperial officials in the court hall. Do you know his crime? Huh! It's such an insult to politeness. How can you behave like this?"

Fang Zheng suddenly said with disdain: "You are a polite scum, how can you be so hypocritical? Insulting you! When I say this to you, it is simply a compliment to you!"

Fang Zheng's words completely angered Su Wei.

For a time, Su Wei and his accomplices united to launch a verbal attack on Zheng Zheng.

On Fang Zheng's side, there were naturally officials from the poor factions who helped Fang Zheng and put pressure on him.

For a time, the entire court turned into a vegetable market, a mess and a lively mess.

Snapped!

Li Ke couldn't help but slap Long Ben with a slap, and said angrily: "Look at you? All of you are important ministers of the court!"

"But now, each one of them is just like a trafficker and a pawn. What kind of behavior is that? Ah? What kind of behavior is that?"

"Let's discuss this matter later and retreat from the court! Humph!"

Li Ke stood up, flicked his sleeves, and walked out angrily.

The ministers looked at each other dumbly, and then left each other as if nothing had happened.

After the new emperor Li Ke ascended the throne, the entire Tang Dynasty flourished with singing and dancing.

The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and no foreign race around them dared to provoke the Tang Dynasty.

The strength of the Tang Dynasty is really too strong now.

Those alien races that bordered the Tang Dynasty only hoped that the Tang Dynasty would not attack them, so they would burn incense. How could they dare to have the evil intention of attacking the Tang Dynasty?

As for the new emperor Li Ke, apart from disturbing the family once during the initial reform.

Other times, policies are relatively mild.

In his treatment of ministers, he was even more open-minded than the previous emperor.

Therefore, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were not very afraid of the emperor.

Of course, there is also awe from the heart.

Because the new emperor is actually no worse than the previous emperor in terms of ability and control.

Even more so than that.

Of course, it was really because the King of Shu's light was so powerful that it even covered up the Emperor's light.



After retreating from the court, the anger on Li Ke's face suddenly disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face.

Now in the entire Tang Dynasty, the only hidden dangers within the Tang Dynasty are the aristocratic families.

And if you want to deal with aristocratic families, you must be cautious and cautious.

And now is an excellent opportunity to deal with the noble family.

Li Ke didn't want to miss this great opportunity.

Today, several times, Li Ke couldn't help but almost agreed.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, he held back in time.

Let's whet their appetite first.

Leave them alone for a while so they won't become suspicious.

And during the following period, the performance of the aristocratic family really met the King of Shu's guess.

The aristocratic family mobilized countless officials to petition, and all they requested were this one thing.

This time, it was loud and powerful.

Even Li Ke felt a bit of pressure.

If it really wasn't my plan, could I handle the pressure from the family?

After thinking about it, Li Ke couldn't help but shook his head bitterly.

It’s difficult!

It seems that I still underestimated the power of the noble family!

Fortunately, what the family wants is exactly what they want.

And those children from poor families struggled to withstand attacks from aristocratic families at critical moments.

Fortunately, the security in Chang'an City is good.

Moreover, the influence of the King of Shu is still there, so people from aristocratic families do not dare to personally threaten the children of poor families.

Or take action against their family members.

They are really afraid of the King of Shu. If the King of Shu gets hold of him, they will be left with nothing to lose.

The King of Shu's intimidating power to the aristocratic family was really too great.

Although the King of Shu is now in Yizhou and not in Chang'an, as long as the King of Shu returns to the Tang Dynasty, they will not dare to make mistakes.

Even if the King of Shu is not in the Tang Dynasty, they must think twice before doing anything.

If this were not the case, I am afraid that those children from poor families would find it even more difficult to resist.

But even so, there are still a few children from poor families who were bribed by aristocratic families and quietly left the ranks of the poor families.

These people are naturally reviled by all the people from poor families.

However, the power of the poor faction has further shrunk, making it difficult to resist the attack of the aristocratic faction.

The quarrel over this matter has seriously affected the normal operation of the court.

It seems that in this matter, if the people of the aristocratic family cannot achieve a satisfactory result, they are not ready to give up.

Facing the aggressiveness of the aristocratic family, Li Ke was not worried but happy.

Of course, nothing showed on his face.

Then, Li Ke seemed to be overwhelmed by the disturbance and directly launched his trump card.

"You patriots of the Tang Dynasty all want to share your worries for me, and I am very touched!"

"In my opinion, since you all want to go to the Golden State and share my worries, even if I don't want you to go, it won't work."

"If that's the case, I won't stop you! I probably understand what you want."

"However, I have a condition. If you agree, you can go to the Golden State!"

"If you don't agree, everything will be over."

After hearing the emperor's words, officials from various aristocratic families couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Done!

The emperor finally couldn't stand the pressure and was about to relent.

But those officials from poor families felt nervous.

Now the war has reached a fever pitch.

At the critical moment, those of them who are charging forward and fighting on the front line have not given up their efforts.

How could the emperor give up resistance first?

How can this make people like them feel so embarrassed?

However, they all wanted to hear what conditions the emperor wanted to put forward.

Just listen to Li Ke say: "After you arrive in the Golden State, you will definitely need land to establish yourself."

"But in the Golden State, all the land belongs to the King of Shu!"

"So, I have prepared two methods for you."

"The first way is, as you said. You go to the Golden State just to assist the King of Shu. So, after you arrive in the Golden State, you need to obey the King of Shu in everything."

"You must do whatever the King of Shu asks you to do! You must obey the orders of the King of Shu."

Li Ke believed that the family would not choose this method.

What are they going to the Golden State for?

Naturally, it is to establish one's own power, and even go one step further to establish a country somewhere.

If they had to obey the King of Shu's command in everything, they would take the initiative to send warmth to the King of Shu unless they had something wrong with their brains.

Then, Li Ke continued: "The second way is that you can buy land in the Golden State. From now on, these lands will all belong to you."

"And in the future, I will naturally entrust the King of Shu with land in other places to compensate the King of Shu."

"As for the price, it's hard to decide. I will use your land in the Tang Dynasty to exchange for the land in the Golden State!"

"Also, don't be too smart and think that since the Golden State is isolated overseas and thousands of miles away, I can't control you."

"If you want to take out hundreds of acres of land, try to fool me, and then arbitrarily occupy the land in the Golden State, I will naturally have ways to deal with you."

"You must have seen those Golden State promotional videos."

"There are many shots, all taken from the air. Therefore, it is clear to me how much space you occupy and what kind of city you build."

"If you are discovered by me and you violate the rules, I will regard you as treason, and the consequences will be to kill the nine tribes!"

After listening to the emperor's words, the civil and military officials in the court could not help but fall silent.

Officials from certain aristocratic families and factions had thoughtful expressions on their faces.

And those officials who came from humble backgrounds to film the show also had thoughtful looks on their faces.

This time, officials from the two factions are no longer arguing.

The two conditions put forward by the emperor were quickly conveyed to the ears of those in charge of the aristocratic families.

They began an in-depth analysis of the conditions proposed by the emperor.

Naturally, they will not consider the first condition.

A wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, and a dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit.

They went to the Golden State to be wolves, not to be dog lickers.

As for the second condition, they are also worried about gains and losses and are hesitant.

Use the land of the Tang Dynasty in exchange for the land of the Golden State.

Although the price of food in Datang's land has dropped somewhat now.

But that’s a guaranteed profit!

But what about over there in the Golden State?

Although the yield of food is higher, the risk is still great!

And if they wanted to build a country, how much land would they need?

Of course, bigger is better.

And their land in the Tang Dynasty was barely enough for them to establish a small country in the Golden State.

This is definitely not what they want.

However, the Golden State is a once-in-a-century major opportunity for all aristocratic families.

Being able to build an empire is an extremely fatal temptation for any aristocratic family.

And they also don't want to give up their roots in Datang.

This puts them into a difficult choice.

They analyzed the stakes step by step.

In the end, the vast majority of aristocratic families decided to take a risk and win.

They decided to first give up half of the land in Datang in exchange for the land in the Golden State.

Then, after they established their empire, couldn't they conquer the surrounding lands themselves?

But in the early stage, they were still afraid that the King of Shu would block their development, so naturally they did not dare to act recklessly.

As long as they gain a firm foothold in the Golden State, and then cooperate internally and externally with the forces within the Tang Dynasty to exchange their needs, the family will definitely be able to continue to grow and develop.

And they were still in awe of the King of Shu.

They decided that while King Shu was alive, they would all lurk in the Golden State and develop honestly.

And after the King of Shu dies, the next generation will be their world.

Soon, the four surnamed Liuwang and other aristocratic families all set their next development goals.

There are other aristocratic families who have also made decisions secretly.

In the following time, these aristocratic families came to ask for help.

They first gave up half of the land in Datang in exchange for the same land in the Golden State.

And these locations are all personally selected by them.

Not only do they have a map of the Golden State, they even know the mineral resources in the Golden State very well.

This also shows that they have put a lot of effort into the Golden State.

The places they selected were also very targeted.
