Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

"What are your plans? Shouldn't this be what I want to ask you?"

"At such a critical moment, you have tarnished the reputation of my Cui family and forced me, the daughter of the Cui family, to die to prove her innocence. But now you are asking me, what should I do next? Don't you think it's funny, Mr. Wang?"

"I came today because I wanted to ask Your Majesty and the court to give my Cui family justice. Now, it should be the time for you to show your sincerity."

After hearing Cui Yingying's words, everyone's expressions changed, knowing that the other party was about to speak loudly.

With a slight cough, Li Shimin looked at Cui Yingying and said word by word:

"Master Cui, for what happened this time, I will first apologize to your Cui family for Cheng Qian's defection. In this way, in order to express my apology, I agree that starting from today, your Cui family's business tax will be reduced by [-]%."

"In addition, I can also agree to open up part of the city to allow you to operate the salt industry that you have always wanted to participate in."

"I wonder what the Cui family wants to do?"

Cui Yingying's eyes flickered. After weighing the pros and cons in her mind, she smiled sweetly, then nodded and said:

"Since Your Majesty is so sincere, I would like to thank Your Majesty in advance since I am here."

Neither party asked Li Chengqian to apologize or clarify the matter, as if they treated it as if it didn't exist.

The rest of the people also understood that Li Chengqian had been completely abandoned by everyone, and what was waiting for him was just an imperial edict.

After ruthlessly digging out a piece of flesh from Li Shimin, Cui Yingying felt that her trip was complete. Now she was waiting for Li Shimin to bid again and cooperate with the Cui family and Wu Xing Qiwang to resist Chu Mo.

However, in her opinion, it didn't matter whether she could resist Chu Mo or not.

Anyway, if Chu Mo is able to conquer the world in the future, then his son, Chu Mo's eldest son, will definitely inherit everything from him.

For yourself, there are only benefits and no harm.

At most, when the time comes, let your son come forward and intercede on your behalf, and you will give in, say more nice things, and let that stinky man take advantage of you, just like a toad jumped on the instep.

As for me, it is very likely that my mother is worth more than her son, and my mother is the most respected person in the world.

As for the other party being defeated and killed by Li Shimin in the future, that has nothing to do with him, and he basically has no losses.

Even his own Cui family was able to gain countless benefits from the battle between the two.

As long as you use it properly, no matter which of the two families has the upper hand, you will be able to benefit from it.

The only worries are Dazhou in the north and Lingnan in the south.

If the world finally belongs to the Great Zhou Dynasty, then according to Chu Xin's vicious heart, it is very likely that the five surnames and Qi Wang will not be let go.

Don't look at the fact that both sides have secret contacts and secretly pass on information, but they are all kept secretly and are also exchanges of interests.

When it comes time to make a life-or-death decision, Cui Yingying believes that Chu Xin will send the Cui family and Qiwang of the Five Surnames on their way without hesitation, or even with joy.

As for Lingnan, haha, that crazy bitch Yang Hongyu can even expel the person she sleeps with without hesitation, she is only a little worse than herself.

Cui Yingying didn't believe that if the other party took over the world, they would still let Chu Mo and herself, the person who had an affair with Chu Mo, live in this world.

Thinking of this, Cui Yingying has already made up her mind. In this world, only Datang's or her own son can inherit. The other two families must not let them show up.

At the moment when Cui Yingying's thoughts were flying, Li Shimin quickly sorted out his thoughts in his mind.

According to his idea, the key now is to win over the five surnames and Qiwang, integrate all the resources of the Tang Dynasty, and then form an alliance with the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then appease Lingnan and make it give up its alliance with Chu Mo.Only in this way, maybe we can fight Chu Mo.

Li Shimin felt a headache when he thought of Lingnan.

If this news had been received two days in advance, before he took action against the Yang family, then he would not dare to take action against the Yang family no matter what.

Fortunately, he only ordered the search of Yang's house and did not kill anyone. Perhaps, he could explain something to Yang Hongyu then.

But what Li Shimin didn't know was that although he didn't order the execution of anyone in the Yang family, he had a stick that dug a hole for him that was big enough for Yang Hongyu to fight to the death.

Moreover, Qian Niuwei was not so gentle when he searched the Yang Mansion.

Regarding the sudden collapse of the behemoth Yang family, some people who had previously disliked the Yang family were singled out.

And if they did it intentionally or deliberately, in the process of arresting everyone in the Yang family, the methods could be described as ruthless and bloody, without any mercy at all.

Therefore, even if Chu Mo, the troublemaker, did not plan ahead, even if Li Shimin ordered a search of the Yang Mansion, he would still be in trouble.

Of course, Li Shimin doesn't know about this yet, and he doesn't have the energy to pay attention to such "little things". What he needs to do now is to depose the prince.

Therefore, after sending Cui Yingying away, Li Shimin directly issued an order to depose Li Chengqian to a commoner and exile him to Qianzhou.

As for the people in Prince Yuan's Mansion, those who were sold and those who were sentenced to death were all dealt with almost overnight.

Empress Changsun was also ordered to be grounded for half a month because of improper teaching.

With the decree, the whole world was shocked.

The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty didn't even know why, after only one morning had passed and nothing had been investigated clearly, His Majesty the Emperor directly deposed the prince and used such forceful methods, leaving absolutely no room for error. The method surprised everyone.

They all thought that this was the royal family giving in to the Cui family and the Five Surnames and Qiwang, and they all thought about asking Li Shimin to make a new decision.

However, before the courtiers took action, another imperial edict from Li Shimin made them collectively lose their voices.

That is, from now on, Datang has entered the moment of national war preparation, directly recruiting 50 reserve troops, and reaching a cooperation with the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes to vigorously purchase various military supplies.

In addition, Li Shimin also ordered the deployment of soldiers from various cities and began centralized training.

Firearms manufacturing workshops everywhere were operating at full capacity day and night, with the intention of mobilizing the whole country, which really surprised the ministers.

As a result, the courtiers who were originally preparing to plead for the prince, hoping to suppress the five surnames and seven hopes, immediately changed their direction and began to inquire with the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household, hoping to get some useful information and prevent possible wars in the future.

However, Li Shimin's decree was issued extremely suddenly, and all parties had only half-understanding of the order when they received it. Therefore, the courtiers had no choice but to enter the palace again and wait outside the imperial study, hoping that His Majesty the Emperor could give an explanation.
