I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

I began to think hard about how I could improve my response plan.

Seeing Cui Jingming like this, Cui Huaide sighed helplessly.

"Jingming, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but since you became the head of the family, the Cui family's edge has been much more restrained."

"Our Cui family is the head of an aristocratic family. When the imperial court came to exterminate the Wang family, we should have acted decisively, stepped forward, and provided all our assistance!"

"Now that the imperial court has annihilated the Wang family, haven't we lost a powerful supporter for no reason?"

His tone was full of regret.

When Cui Jingming heard this, he looked at Cui Huaide again. A trace of imperceptible disdain flashed across his eyes for a moment, but he quickly concealed this emotion calmly.

"When Wang Qizhao came to power, it was probably the beginning of the decline of the Taiyuan Wang family."

"Wang Qizhao is a greedy man, obsessed with amassing wealth. He has no regard for the lives of the people and willfully oppresses the good."

"He even indulged in the outrageous and immoral practices of 'beauty bowls' and 'beauty paper,' which brought chaos and chaos to the Taiyuan area, causing him to lose the support of the people. The people hated him to the core."

"How could the Taiyuan Wang family escape the fate of destruction after such numerous evil deeds?"

"The court doesn't even need to resort to major military action; with a little skillful guidance, it will fall apart on its own."

At this point, Cui Jingming couldn't help but laugh softly.

It didn't take much effort to attack Wang's family, but now it took an army of 300,000 to attack his own family, and this was only the vanguard.

If it really came to a critical moment of life and death, and Li Chengqian disregarded everything and transferred all 600,000 border troops of the Tang Dynasty to Beizhou, then the situation of the Cui family would be really precarious.

But the Tang Dynasty was not much better at that time.

"Also, Uncle, you have to understand that the imperial court's extermination of the Wang family was justified. After all, it was the Wang family who persecuted a national protector and a princess first. This is a crime of treason."

"At that time, anyone who dared to support the Wang family would be openly plotting treason and would be despised by the world and lose the support of the people."

"But now the imperial court is attacking my Cui family without any reason, which is unfounded."

"This time, the hearts of the people are with my Cui family!"

Cui Jingming paused slightly, a look of determination in his eyes.

"Uncle, you are old now. Please don't interfere in the affairs of the Cui family anymore!"

Cui Huaide opened his mouth and wanted to say something in rebuttal, but found that his throat seemed to be choked by something, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

When Cui Jingming and his generation competed for the position of head of the family, none of their opponents are still alive. Cui Jingming's scheming and methods are not something he can easily contend with.

Deep down in his heart, he actually had a bit of awe and fear towards Cui Jingming.

"Uncle, there's something you need to do."

Cui Jingming's voice broke the silence in the room.

"What's the matter, Jingming?"

Cui Huaide asked hurriedly.

"Open five of my Cui family's granaries and distribute all the grain inside to the people of Beizhou."

Cui Jingming's eyes were firm.

"And inform the people of Beizhou that from now on, my Cui family will only pay 10% of their taxes each year, and they will not have to pay any other taxes, including those from the imperial court."

"Open the five more treasuries, take out the money, and distribute it to the people of Beizhou."

When Cui Huaide heard this, he immediately understood Cui Jingming's intention.

This is to lure them with huge benefits, so that the entire Beizhou will be united, share the same hatred and fight against the court together!

But when he thought of the huge amount of money that was about to be given away, his heart ached.

It is such a waste to give so many things to these "untouchables" who are as insignificant as ants in his eyes!

But he knew that Cui Jingming's decision was difficult to change, so he could only nod silently, turn around and slowly leave.

After Cui Huaide left, Cui Jingming was the only one left in the empty room.
