This game of chess is so big that even I was involved in it.

Although Li Shimin was upset, there was nothing he could do. After all, Li Chengqian did all this for Datang.

Besides, according to what Zheng Yingjie meant, Mrs. Wang shot herself in the foot.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Buzz.

Li Shimin came back to his senses and shook his head slightly.

"Huh?" Li Shimin looked at the old eunuch Chen Lin beside him with a puzzled expression.

The old eunuch Chen Lin possessed herself and said, "Your Majesty, Zheng Yingjie has left, and His Royal Highness is waiting for you outside."

"Ah?" Li Shimin asked softly, "Has he left already?"

The old eunuch Chen Lin replied: "Yes, he has already left."

Li Shimin nodded, "Okay, then I will go out."

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin who came out from the back room and shouted, "Father."

"Why, is this the end?" Li Shimin looked at him suspiciously.

However, Li Chengqian could see that his mood was not that bad anymore.

Li Chengqian responded: "Not yet, the specific implementation details, I still need to discuss with Li Daozong."

"Okay." Li Shimin said indifferently: "Anyway, I'm fine today, so I will personally supervise your plan, so as not to cause any trouble for me."

Li Chengqian said lightly: "What? Father is not afraid that I will conspire with Li Daozong to deceive you?"

Li Shimin blushed when he heard this, "Hmph, I forgive you for not having the guts."

Chapter 103 Are you a pawn on your chessboard?

five hours ago.

Chang'an City...

Palace...

Wang Dingshan sat in the living room with anger on his face.

The patriarch Wang Liangzhe looked at him with a bitter expression, and said, "Patriarch, now the outside world has spread that we are killing people with a knife, take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents."

"What's more, it is said that we have already taken refuge in Li Chengqian. The uprising in front of the palace is basically our conspiracy. This matter has pushed the Wang family to the forefront."

Immediately after...

He asked cautiously, "Patriarch, did you really join the prince?"

Wang Liangzhe didn't want to believe it at first, but what he did in this round was too obvious.

Those who died were all enemies of the Wang family, and those who had a good relationship with them, for various reasons, failed to revolt in front of the palace, and all survived.

It really can't, it doesn't make people think.

Snapped!

Wang Dingshan threw the tea cup in his hand to the ground angrily, and the tea in the cup splashed all over the ground.

"Stupid pig, all of them are stupid! How could even you ask such ignorant questions? This is a trick Li Chengqian set for us, can't you see it!"

Wang Liangzhe stared blankly at Wang Dingshan, who was suddenly furious, and said in his heart: "It seems that you can see it."

Although he was thinking in his heart, he still tried to persuade him, "The patriarch should not be angry. If not, then should we explain to them that we, the Wang family, cannot bear this blame."

"Explain?" Wang Dingshan looked at him straight, "How to explain? Explain that we didn't ask Li Chengqian to kill those people? Explain that those who shouldn't go should not be encouraged to go? Explain that those who should go People, didn't we conspire to make it impossible to go?"

Wang Dingshan really didn't want to understand that Li Chengqian was so cunning and scheming, every step of his own was planned by him.

He started killing in front of the imperial city, which was beyond Wang Dingshan's expectations, but it was harmless, because the more people died, the more chaotic the situation would be, and the greater the pressure on Li Shimin.

This is not a bad thing for them.

But what he didn't expect was that he actually played tricks on these landlords. The unreliable alliance relationship completely collapsed under Li Chengqian's provocation this time.

Instead, the Wang family became the hero who promoted the progress of the land invasion case. At this time, Wang's family was condemned by the outside world.

The most important thing is that no matter how they clean up this matter, it will only get darker and darker.

The other clan elders lowered their heads after hearing Wang Dingshan's words, and remained silent.

Yeah, it doesn't make any sense to explain now.

Wang Liangzhe continued to ask: "Then...then what are we going to do next?"

Wang Dingshan sat back on the chair and instantly aged a few years, "We are ready to withdraw from Chang'an City in the next few days and return to Taiyuan."

"Ah? Going back to Taiyuan, isn't this the same as admitting defeat?"

"Yes, if we go back now, wouldn't our foundation in Chang'an be given to the imperial court for nothing?"

"Going back this time, if you want to step into the gate of Chang'an City again in this life, it will be difficult."

"Patriarch, is there really no room for maneuver in this matter?"

"We have worked hard for so many years in the layout of Chang'an City. If we withdraw at this time, all the hard work of these years will be in vain. Patriarch think twice."

After hearing Wang Dingshan's words, the people below immediately burst into flames. You said something, and I said something. It was very lively.

boom!

Wang Dingshan's right hand slapped heavily on the table beside him, "Have you not seen Li Chengqian's tricks? He can still let me live in Chang'an City?"

"If you keep the green hills, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. We must firmly remember the shame Li Chengqian gave us today, and we will definitely repay it a hundred times in the future."

"Starting tomorrow, the clansmen in Chang'an City will withdraw from Chang'an City one after another. Those who have official positions in the imperial court will continue to stay in Chang'an City, but they will act in a low-key manner in the future."

"Okay, let's go back and get ready."

Although he was reluctant, Wang Dingshan had no choice but to take advantage of the chaotic situation in the past two days and run away quickly. If the case was pushed forward, then Li Chengqian would definitely not let them leave Chang'an City like this.

"Yes, the patriarch."

……

The others left the living room helplessly.

at the same time.

Li Chengqian, Li Daozong and Li Shimin sat in the dossier room, discussing the details of the process.

Li Daozong excitedly said: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, good news, most of the landlords outside are now pointing their finger at Wang Dingshan, the leader of the Landlords Alliance."

"I don't know whether Wang Dingshan did it on purpose or not. There are rumors outside that he joined His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and is killing people with a knife."

"At this moment, Mrs. Wang is busy evacuating Chang'an City, haha."

Li Daozong was reporting to Li Chengqian and Li Shimin with an excited face.

Hearing this, Li Shimin's face did not show joy, and Li Chengqian also looked calm.

Li Daozong looked confused, thinking that there was some secret hidden here, "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, don't you think this is good news?"

Li Shimin ignored him, turned to look at Li Chengqian, "Chengqian, did you do this secretly?"

After hearing this, Li Daozong suddenly realized, no wonder things went so smoothly, no wonder the landlord alliance fell apart so quickly, no wonder Wang Dingshan had to evacuate Chang'an city overnight.

It turns out that all of this is from the hands of the prince.

Li Chengqian picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and said calmly: "Yes, my minister is just playing tricks and throwing away the landlord who went to make trouble."

"Then you want to kill them, it's your plan, isn't it?"

"Yes."

"You didn't happen to pass by yesterday at all."

"That's right, Erchen put the knife in front of them specially, waiting for them to hit him."

"How long have you been planning this?"

"Didn't the father already guess it?"

"You even counted on me? Do you think I'm a pawn in your game of chess?"

Li Chengqian remained calm, "It depends on what the father thinks."

The conversation came to an abrupt end here. Li Daozong listened to the conversation between the two, and hurriedly made up the picture, for fear that he would not be able to keep up with the speed of the conversation.

After all, Li Shimin is a smart person. In fact, when Zheng Yingjie presented the landlord's confession letter to Li Chengqian, he guessed it, but he didn't want to believe it.

In other words, he wanted to hear the ins and outs of this matter from Li Chengqian's mouth.

Li Shimin knew very well who was around Li Chengqian, and Li Shimin knew who he had been in contact with.

In this matter, there must be no one to advise him. It can also be said that Li Chengqian has no one to advise him on everything he does, and he has never taken the initiative to seek advice from anyone.

It's as if everything has already been learned by heart.

Without the help of his disciples, Li Chengqian planned so many things by himself. This kind of mind and heart alone cannot be compared with ordinary people.

lean less...

Li Shimin didn't continue to ask about this matter, and said to Li Daozong: "Chengfan, go ahead."

Chapter 104 Let Wang Dingshan Return to Taiyuan

At this time, Li Daozong was stunned, he was very excited to hear it, but the two suddenly stopped talking.

Hearing half of this made him feel too uncomfortable, just like chewing a whole star anise by mistake when eating braised pork.

But one person is the crown prince and the other is the emperor, as a courtier, he didn't dare to ask.

Li Daozong looked puzzled: "This... I think it's better to let His Royal Highness speak."

He also understood in his heart that everything should be planned by the prince in advance, if he continued to talk, it would be nonsense and meaningless.

Li Shimin nodded, "Chengqian, what do you mean?"

He also figured it out, since Li Chengqian has already made this chess move, there is no need for him to hold on to this trivial matter.

It's about Jiangshan Sheji, if my stomach is still so small, it will seem too narrow-minded.

Li Chengqian said indifferently: "First, set up a special investigation team for land invasion cases, and reverse the case non-stop for twelve hours. Both major and minor cases will be dealt with. Those who actively cooperate will be dealt with leniently, and those who resist will be punished with a third class."

"In the shortest period of time, make Chang'an City a benchmark for land reform, and then use Chang'an City as the center to continuously expand into the territory of Datang."

"Second, find a few villages that are proficient in planting, spread potatoes and peppers in the village, accumulate seeds, and try to spread potatoes to the whole of Datang within two years."

"Thirdly, let the Wang family leave Chang'an City and let them return to Taiyuan safely."

"In this way, it won't take long for this matter to be settled, and the treasury of the Tang Dynasty will also be enriched, and we can wholeheartedly fight against the enemies around the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked Mrs. Wang to return to Taiyuan. This is not like this bastard.

He wondered: "Let Wang go? With such a good opportunity, why don't you kill Wang all at once?"

Li Chengqian shook his head, "It doesn't make much sense to wipe out the Wang family at this time."

"It doesn't make sense?" Li Shimin threw the dossier on the table casually, "If the Wang family is eliminated, do you know how much the family will be hit?"

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian have different ideas. Since everything has been done, there is no reason to let Wang Dingshan go.

Wang's influence in the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes is still great.

Li Chengqian said indifferently: "I believe that letting Wang Dingshan go back will deal a greater blow to the aristocratic family."

"How do you say that?" Li Shimin asked with lowered eyes.

Li Chengqian responded: "The land reform has just been carried out, and the landlords in Chang'an City think that the Wang family has taken refuge in the court, and are anxiously returning the land, money, grain and seeds in their hands to the tenant farmers in order to obtain leniency."

"If the Wang family is moved now, it will inevitably cause some people to die and be sad, and the dogs will jump over the wall."

"On the other hand, let Mrs. Wang go back safely, and his reputation as a refugee to the court will be confirmed. In this way, they will become street rats, and we can logically carry out land reform."

"Besides, if we want to move the Wang family, we must uproot it and make the Wang family disappear forever in the Tang Dynasty. Now we don't need to waste energy for a family that has no much influence."

As the old saying goes, don't be afraid of thieves stealing, but be afraid of thieves thinking about it. The current Wang family is more uncomfortable than being wiped out directly.

Li Chengqian wanted them to live in his own shadow, so as to deter the other two surnames.
