Raising the Price of Rice, Traitorous Act!
"Ding dong! User has killed more than 600 people from the Cui Clan of Boling! Tyrant Points 1999!"
"Ding dong! The Host will confiscate all the properties of the Cui family of Boling in Chang 'an! Tyrant Points 1099!"
The system notification sounded in Li Chengqian's mind!
Li Chengqian understood that Cheng Chumo and the others had succeeded.
Li Chengqian immediately sent someone to inform Cheng Chumo and the others to confiscate all the properties of the Cui family in Chang 'an. Moreover, this time, it was not recharged into the national treasury, but into his, Li Chengqian's, Eastern Palace's small treasury!
He had no choice!
He had to raise his army now, which was a huge expense!
Overnight.
All the foundations and properties of the Cui family of Boling in Chang 'an City had been destroyed.
Chang 'an City was not something that the small Qinghe County could compare to.
Therefore, the impact of this matter was also huge.
Li Chengqian was leisurely planting hybrid rice in his manor, but the Cui family in Ling County was shocked!
Cui Lie was only 50 years old and was still middle-aged. At this moment, he was furious.
"Li Chengqian, you're going too far! The royal family really doesn't put us in their eyes!
First, you killed my nephew Cui Wenxuan, and now you've destroyed all the forces of my family in Chang 'an!
Is the royal family going to break off relations with us?”
Cui Lie really couldn't imagine how the Li Tang royal family, who was originally as gentle as an elk, would reveal their fangs in an instant!
Moreover, he was exposed too quickly, so much so that he could not react at all!
"Patriarch, we should have argued for the slaughter of Qinghe.”
"That's right! He should have asked the Imperial Court to hand over the Crown Prince as a punishment.”
"Even if we can't kill Li Chengqian directly, we should also dismiss his position as Crown Prince.”
"But, Li Chengqian is still sitting on the Crown Prince's seat.”
In the meeting hall, the people of the Cui clan were talking one after another.
"What good ideas do you have?”
Cui Lie waved his hand and said.
"Patriarch, continue to contact the aristocratic families and make trouble for the Imperial Family.”
This was a good idea! Aristocratic families were one entity, and many of them were connected by marriage. If they attacked together, it would be very embarrassing for the royal family.
However, Cui Lie also knew that this Li Chengqian was a violent person. If he only attacked the Imperial Family, it would probably be difficult to solve the problem.
"Patriarch, the Great Tang is currently using its army against the Eastern Turks, and we don't have enough rations. If our Shandong clans unite and refuse to provide the Imperial Court with rations, we will definitely be able to drag out the hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the steppe and damage their vitality!”
Another person suggested!
"Hmm?" Cui Lie was stunned and thought that this was a good idea!
In war, fighting was the consumption of national strength!
If you don't have any rations, why are you still fighting?
"Good! Just do it! Wen He, Wen Yan, the two of you immediately head to the various aristocratic families and make sure they are on our side.”Cui Lie ordered.
"Here!"
Cui Wenhe and Cui Wenyan stood out.
Cui Lie's good method won the cheers of the Shandong aristocratic families. They all felt that this method was very good!
To them, as long as it was a threat to their interests, they should teach it a lesson.
It didn't matter if you were a member of the royal family or any other noble who had made contributions!
As for the disaster of the barbarians!
It was not within the scope of their thoughts at all!
The misery of the people on the border, the life and death of the Tang soldiers, and the savagery of the savages had nothing to do with them!
It was even to the extent that!
Even if the barbarians invaded the Central Plains, as long as they recognized the benefits of their aristocratic families, then their aristocratic families…were also willing!
……
The aristocratic families of Shandong were unwilling to give the army rations. Even when the Imperial Court offered twice the market price, the aristocratic families were unwilling to sell!
This situation directly affected the battle situation on the plains!
Originally, Li Jing and Yuchi Gong's armies had already joined forces and were just short of destroying the Turkic Royal Court!
However, because the rations were delayed and they missed the opportunity, it was difficult to find another opportunity.
The Turkic cavalry had even found an opportunity to counterattack, suffering heavy casualties and a crushing defeat!
Dew Palace!
Extremely busy!
Li Shi Min looked at the military orders and intelligence reports on the table, his blood-red eyes filled with grief and indignation.
Fang Xuanling, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, and the others were all in the hall.
"Your Majesty, this general is willing to lead another twenty thousand soldiers into the enemy's rear and deal a heavy blow to the Turks!”Cheng Yaojin requested!
Li Shimin waved his hand." If we miss the opportunity, it will be difficult to win again this year. Let Li Jing and Yuchi Gong retreat."
"Humph! It was all because of these aristocratic families! Rope camp dog!
He completely ignored the lives of the soldiers and the hardships of the people in the border areas!
He had openly raised the price of rice. Now, not only was there trouble with the military rations, but even the market price had risen sharply. Countless commoners could not afford to eat anymore!”Li Ji angrily rebuked!
Li Shiming's brows furrowed into a deep frown. If this continued, the people would rebel and the peasants would rise up.
This aristocratic family was pushing the imperial court to a dead end.
Zhangsun Wuji stepped forward." Your Majesty, the instigator of this is the Cui clan of Boling! He might as well learn from the Crown Prince and give the Cui Clan of Boling a heavy blow!”
As he said that, Zhangsun Wuji even made a move to slit his throat!
Fang Xuanling quickly shouted," No! Absolutely not! Aristocratic families should prioritize appeasement, how could they use killing moves! The aristocratic families were deeply rooted and the new dynasty had just been established. They really could not stand any turmoil!”
Fang Xuanling's analysis was reasonable. Li Shiming had already become the Emperor, so he naturally hoped that the situation would remain stable!
Therefore, Li Shimin wanted to take things slowly, regardless of the pros and cons.
"Where's the Crown Prince? All these things were caused by him. Where is he?"
Li Shi Min suddenly asked!
At this moment, Li Chengqian was in the paddy field of the manor, looking at the green seedlings and smiling foolishly!
