Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 62
The Guanlong officials were all terrified, and now they can only count on Changsun Wuji.

The eldest grandson Wuji, who was sitting in the main seat of the lobby, was pale and frighteningly cold at the moment.

Obviously, he was also extremely angry about this matter.

"My lord, would you like to ask His Majesty to recall the Second Prince?"

Someone asked tentatively.

"Hmph! That kid impulsively brought this matter to His Majesty. Now that His Majesty is furious, who can save him?"

Changsun Wuji snorted heavily.

Everyone felt cold, even Changsun Wuji said so, it seemed that Li Chengqian was hopeless.

"This majesty is really biased. The second prince was beaten, but your majesty still blames him!"

Someone complained bitterly.

Changsun Wuji let out a heavy breath from his nostrils, snorting like a disdain and sneering helplessly.

"Why do you want to fight Chengqian when you are that kid? He intends to make this matter a big deal. Once the matter gets a big deal, the matter of embezzling Concubine Yang's expenses will be exposed!"

Changsun Wuji said coldly.

"This……"

Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly sorted out the matter carefully.

"Could it be that the second prince's punishment was deliberately designed by Li Ke?"

Only then did Guanlong officials wake up.

"if not?"

Changsun Wuji said unhappily.

He slammed the tea cup in his hand on the table, and the tea cup made a "jingling" sound.

"From the beginning to the end, Chengqian has been manipulated by others!"

"He still foolishly ran to His Majesty to complain, didn't he slap himself in the face!"

Changsun Wuji was angry that he wouldn't argue, his face darkened to the extreme.

"We can't just let it go!"

Gao Shilian stood up.

When everyone saw someone starting, they naturally followed suit.

"Master Changsun, you should think of a way to treat that Li Ke well!"

"We can't let him continue to be so arrogant!"

"If we don't treat him, I'm afraid he will get the position of prince!"

The crowd was so excited that they almost lifted the roof of the hall.

"Quiet, quiet!"

Gao Shilian raised his hand to stop everyone, and then looked at Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji didn't say a word, he lowered his head and frowned, as if in deep thought.

Everyone hurriedly stopped and waited for Changsun Wuji to come up with strategies for getting along.

After being silent for about half a stick of incense, Changsun Wuji finally raised his head.

"I already have a plan, let's deal with this matter like this!"

Afterwards, he gathered everyone together and explained a few times like this.

After everyone listened, they stroked their beards and nodded, with smiles on their faces.

"Okay, according to what Master Changsun said, let's take a look at his book and see how Li Ke will accept the move when the time comes!"

The smile on Gao Shilian's face was the coldest, and he said with hatred.

……

Li Ke has been busy with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce of the Kingdom of Shu these days.

He began to order his subordinates to open factories in various places, taking the first step to deal with the gentry class.

The Shu King's party has very strong financial resources, and this factory soon swept across the country. In all parts of the Tang Dynasty, factories with the signboard of the Shu Kingdom Chamber of Commerce can be seen everywhere.

For a while, the common people talked one after another, saying that this factory could produce a large number of low-priced textiles, and that it would be cheaper for the common people to buy cloth in the future.

But there are also many people who are worried that the cloth will not be sold at a high price in the future, and life will be even more difficult.

Fortunately, the opening of factories also provided a large number of job opportunities. Farm women from all over the country applied for jobs, worked in factories, and earned money to support their families.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and the situation seemed smooth and gentle until the court meeting.

This was the first court meeting of Changsun Wuji's return. Li Ke expected that the other party should do something.

So on this day, he dressed himself up vigorously, not wanting to lose the battle.

When they got to the court, the ministers discussed matters according to the usual practice, which was nothing more than trivial matters. Li Ke yawned when he heard it.

When it was time for the ministers to play freely, someone came out behind Changsun Wuji.

"The minister has a table to play!"

The obese Gao Shilian stood up, holding a fluorene board, and cupped his hands to Li Shimin.

Li Ke glanced at Changsun Wuji, and he looked arrogant for a while, as if intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Li Ke.

"What kind of conspiracy is this old thing trying to do?"

Li Ke hated secretly, thinking that Gao Shilian was the uncle of Changsun Wuji, and his speech must be aimed at himself.

"Gao Aiqing has something to play, but it's okay to say!"

Li Shimin asked.

"I want to ask His Highness the King of Shu for advice on something!"

"I don't know where the cavalry troops under the King of Shu come from?"

"I heard that there are rebellious people in Shu. Did your Highness's cavalry come from among the rebellious people in Shu?"

Gao Shilian said respectfully.

As soon as these words came out, all civil and military officials were taken aback.

That day the army suddenly appeared, and its size and combat strength were noticed by everyone.

It is absolutely impossible to form such a brave and huge team solely by relying on the official army of Shu, or the personal guards controlled by Li Ke.

Changsun Wuji had already seen through this point, so he asked Gao Shilian to openly ask about it.

Therefore, there are only two ways before Li Ke.

Or, you can't explain the source of the troops clearly, and you will be dumb if you hesitate.

Or, Dafang admitted that he had recruited the rebellious people. In that case, if the rebellious people had troubles in the future, it would have an inextricable relationship with Li Ke.

From then on, Li Ke could no longer use the rioters to attack the gentry.

The prince's matter has obviously been put on hold, and Changsun Wuji is now going to launch a full-scale attack on Li Ke.

So at this time, I brought up this matter and asked for a thorough investigation of this matter.

"Your Majesty, outside the imperial city, on the square, there are hundreds of thousands of people kneeling and pleading for orders!"

At this moment, a eunuch screamed loudly and reported important matters.

Changsun Wuji was startled, did something wrong happen again?
Hundreds of thousands of people knelt down to beg for orders. This was a huge battle.

Who is organizing this incident, these people kneel down to beg for orders, and what orders are they begging for?

With all kinds of doubts in his heart, Changsun Wuji had no choice but to wink at Gao Shilian and stand still for the time being.

In fact, his winking was in vain, because Gao Shilian had no chance to play again, and Li Shimin had already paid attention to this matter, and could not listen to other things.

With so many people gathered here, this is almost a riot. Can Li Shimin not take it seriously?
"What are they asking for, tell me!"

The little eunuch hurriedly said: "The common people said that His Royal Highness the King of Shu is wise and heroic. He led the troops to rescue the siege of Chang'an and the people of the entire Tang Dynasty. They heard that the court intended to make the King of Shu the crown prince, so they went to Qingming together. Your Highness, please quickly decide on the establishment of the crown prince, and give the King of Shu a title!"

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately thought of Li Ke.

Li Ke's health is recovering day by day, and now is the day to check the source of the cavalry unit. At this time, the common people asked for orders to award the crown prince. This is probably Li Ke's idea.

Li Shimin did intend to make Li Ke the prince, but this idea had not yet been implemented. He originally planned to observe and observe.

But he also knew that the Guanlong Group would definitely not let go of the troubled people, and wanted to mess up the matter by inspecting the cavalry unit.

It seems that this common people's pleading is Ke'er's countermeasure!

Li Shimin made up his mind, and immediately said in a loud voice: "All the ministers and workers, go to the imperial city tower with me, and go to wait and see, how about?"

Li Er himself wanted to see the grand event, and at the same time, he also wanted to give Li Ke a chance to deal with the Guanlong Group's censure.

Of course, all the ministers said in unison.

Even Changsun Wuji and his group, knowing clearly that this was Li Keshi's plan, did not dare to block the emperor's reasonable proposal in public.

With apprehension in their hearts, Changsun Wuji and others followed Li Shimin to the top of the city gate.
