Chapter 225 10 million, the position of the king

"Damn it..."

After Changsun Wuji walked into the Lizheng Hall, he kicked Changsun Minsheng without saying a word, and then shouted loudly.

Changsun Minsheng screamed when he was kicked, and quickly knelt down and hid behind Empress Changsun.

"Come out for me, come out for me, and see if I won't beat you to death today." Changsun Wuji completely lost his composure. Since Changsun Wuji learned that Changsun Minsheng actually sent Lin Dadao to assassinate Li Zhan, Changsun Wuji has no longer been able to control his anger.

If it were in the past, Changsun Wuji would not have been so indifferent to his sister. But today is different. Li Zhan is very important in Changsun Wuji's heart. Changsun Minsheng actually dared to kill Li Zhan, so Changsun Wuji could also kill Changsun Minsheng.

"No...don't...aunt save me...aunt save me!" Changsun Minsheng hid behind Empress Changsun and asked for help in fear.

Listening to Changsun Minsheng's call for help, Empress Changsun quickly stopped her brother and said, "Brother...what are you doing...Minsheng already knows that she is wrong, but what are you going to kill him?"

After being blocked by Empress Changsun, Changsun Wuji stopped and shouted angrily: "Empress, do you know what this bastard did?

This bastard actually sent someone to assassinate Li Zhan.

Who is Li Zhan? He is a hero of the Tang Dynasty. Even the hero of the Tang Dynasty can be assassinated unscrupulously. What else do you dare not do in the Tang Dynasty in the future?"

"Brother... I know, I know, this matter actually has nothing to do with Minsheng. He was also deceived by the man named Lin Dadao because he was young.

In fact, the assassination has nothing to do with Minsheng.

And Minsheng has already said that Minsheng will donate the proceeds from his tomb robbery with Lin Dadao in the past, so I think that's all I can forget about this."

"Forget it..." Changsun Wuji was ridiculous. He looked at Empress Changsun and said, "Empress... This matter must not be forgotten like this. Tomb robbing and assassination, Changsun Minsheng's actions were almost as crazy as his father.

Today I will not make things difficult for him, but I will report all this to Your Majesty and follow your Majesty's destiny."

"Auntie...No, we are all a family. I swear, I will never be confused again. I beg my aunt to save my nephew's life...!" As he said that, Changsun Minsheng burst into tears again.

As soon as he saw Changsun Minsheng crying, Empress Changsun began to soften his heart. She saw Empress Changsun looking at Changsun Wuji with a pleading expression and said, "Brother... I was fighting with each other, so why are you too anxious?

Even if my sister begs you this time, don’t tell your Majesty about this matter. Minsheng’s father is no longer in Chang’an, so I didn’t teach Minsheng well. If you want to blame me, blame me.”

Changsun Wuji looked at Empress Changsun’s protection for Changsun Minsheng, and was so angry that he didn’t know what to say.

But Empress Changsun had already taken all the responsibility on her. Changsun Wuji didn't know what to say anymore, so he sighed and shook his head and said, "Empress... you will regret it."

After saying that, Changsun Wuji left without looking back.

And at this moment, Changsun Minsheng slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

....................................

In this way, Changsun Minsheng escaped his own crisis because of Empress Changsun. The tomb robbing and assassination of Li Zhan were suppressed, but the matter would end so smoothly?

The answer is impossible.

Changsun Wuji would not let Changsun Minsheng go, and Li Zhan would not let the other party go, but Changsun Wuji and Li Zhan would never have thought that Changsun Minsheng's movements were faster than both of them, and Changsun Minsheng would not let Li Zhan and Changsun Wuji go.

A few days later, Li Yang was still in prison in front of Dali Temple and was whipped ten times a day. The ten people with Li Yang were released yesterday. Nine out of the ten people died, and only one of them was carried back by their family members alive.

As for the Li family in Longyou, there was no response, which made Li Shimin a little anxious.

There is another thing that makes Li Shimin even more trouble, that is, the food shortage, which seems to be impossible to hide because there has been no grain transport convoy entering Chang'an for many days.

The people of Chang'an are not fools. There is no convoy to transport grain, which means there is no food. Such a scene has slowly begun to spread some rumors. These rumors were originally only spread at the bottom, but soon after they were intentionally spread by a certain family, rumors of no food began to spread among the upper nobles.

If this news spreads and the upper class nobles believe that they will flee Chang'an one after another, it will cause the greatest panic, and Chang'an will fall into chaos.

Li Shimin immediately called the court officials to Ganlu Hall to discuss how to solve the subsequent panic. At this time, Li Chengqian offered a plan to load the grain team with soil. The next day, a grain team composed of thousands of trucks returned to Chang'an.

On one of the big trucks, the rice bag fell, revealing a large amount of white rice, saying nothing or doing nothing, just revealing the grain convoy directly, and the rumors were almost self-defeating.

However, this method only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, because the food is indeed not enough. Now the court needs to transport grain from the water immediately.

So Li Shimin couldn't wait, so Li Shimin sent Fang Xuanling to negotiate with Li He for the second time.

....................................

In an antique room, a pillar of fragrance lingers slightly. There are only two people in this room, one is Fang Xuanling and the other is Li He. Whether it is the first negotiation or the second negotiation, it is secret.

Because Li Shimin didn't want anyone to know that he was seeking a noble family, and the noble family didn't want anyone to know that he was blackmailing Li Shimin.

"Fang Xiang..." Li He first picked up a cup of tea: "The things we are talking about later are their own masters, and I hope they will not affect our friendship."

After Li He said that, Fang Xuanling also picked up the teacup and nodded, "Of course...!"

After saying that, the two of them drank the tea in a cup, and the negotiations officially began:

"The Fang Prime Minister...the conditions of the Li family in Longyou are the same as last time. The two governors are to be hereditary...!"

Looking at Li He, Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "Master Li, you know this is impossible. The hereditary governor will not give it to any aristocratic family..."

"If this happens, there will be no talk. The position of two hereditary governors is the bottom line of our Longyou Li family."

"But Master Li, you don't think about your own son. You must know that Linglang needs you very much at this time, and Your Majesty said that as long as you are willing to take action, you will definitely save Linglang."

After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, he saw Li He smiled slightly and said, "Fang Xiang, do you know that I have seven sons and three legitimate sons. Although Li Xiao is also a legitimate son, I still have two legitimate sons, and Li Xiao is just the third child.

So I can afford to die this legitimate son, but here I want to ask Your Majesty, Li He, I can afford to die a legitimate son, I don’t know if Your Majesty... can afford to die a million people in Chang'an?"

Li He's words made Fang Xuanling's brows slightly stunned.

Then Fang Xuanling continued, "Master Li, I hope you can think carefully. As long as you can persuade the Li family not to have the position of the two governors, I can promise on behalf of Your Majesty that you will give you ten millions of responsibilities and a position of Duke in this lineage."
