Chapter 488 The Chai Brothers
"Report to Your Highness.
The Patriarch of the Zuo family has already agreed to sell all the stockpiles near the capital to the imperial court. "
three days later.
In the Palace of King Wei.
Liu Rong half bowed and reported in a deep voice.
Li Tai showed joy when he heard the words, and asked eagerly: "Brother, since the Zuo family has agreed, when will we release the new paper?"
"Not urgent!
Wait a little longer. "
Li Jing shook his head.
Li Tai asked in confusion, "Why wait?"
Li Jing curled up his mouth and smiled slightly, squinting his eyes and said: "The aristocratic family has hoarded a lot of bamboo, although most of the family's wealth has been consumed, but bamboo is still useful after all.
If the imperial court releases new paper at this moment, the aristocratic family can sell the bamboo at a reduced price, and the funds can be easily withdrawn.
But if the imperial court continues to raise the price to buy used paper, the family will inevitably manufacture a large amount of used paper to supply the imperial court.
At this time, when the imperial court releases new paper, the old paper will be completely reduced to waste paper.
At that time, even if the aristocratic family sells it at a reduced price, no one will care about it. "
"Your Highness is wise!"
Liu Rong habitually offered a flattery.
Li Tai sneered, and said bluntly: "Brother, you are really ruthless!
It's just that if you kill them all like this, aren't you afraid that the aristocratic family will jump over the wall in a hurry? "
"Hehe~
Little fat man, you also said that you are jumping over the wall in a hurry.
If the dog wasn't cornered, why did he jump over the wall? "
Li Jing looked at the sand table on the table, raised his hand and pointed at the land of Jizhou, and said with a sinister smile, "Those who do this will definitely suffer a lot in the future.
If the imperial court does not respond, the aristocratic family may indeed jump over the wall in a hurry.
However, if he was a brother, he would have already visited the other families for the five surnames and seven, and prepared a rich cake.
You think this is the situation.
They chose to fight to the death and fight against my Li Tang royal family.
Or look for a soft persimmon to squeeze and absorb nutrients to recuperate vitality? "
"cake?
What is cake?
May go to heaven?
Possibly into the sea? "
Li Tai's thoughts suddenly shifted.
Li Jing felt a toothache when he heard this.
He finally found an opportunity to show off in front of him, but he never wanted to be ignored by the little fat man flamboyantly.
"If you want to know what a cake is, you can go to Lizhi and Youniang for advice!
Now you only need to remember that Jizhou is the escape route left for my brother and other aristocratic families.
If they accept it, everyone will live in peace.
If there is a slight change, my brother can also be ruthless and send him back to the west! "
"Oh~
Hehe~”
……
Li Jing frightened Li Tai severely in the Palace of Wei, and then led General Heng Ha to the royal teahouse.
A few days ago, he made a special trip to visit Chen Wan, but never visited Zhao Ya, which is really unreasonable.
Now that the curtain has just opened, there is still some leisure time, so he naturally wants to take this opportunity to finish such small things.
"Hey~
Brother, that person seems to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! "
Just as Li Jing stepped into the royal tea house, a suspicious voice suddenly came from beside him.
Two rather elderly men poked their heads out and looked at Li Jing and the others with complicated expressions.
"Chai Zhewei, Chai Lingwu, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
When the two of them saw Li Jing's appearance clearly, they saluted immediately.
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, smiled back and said, "Jing, I have seen my two cousins."
"I can't afford it, I can't afford it.
His Royal Highness is very polite. "
The two saluted again, before they asked with a smile, "Is Your Highness here to watch a play, or to look for someone?"
"Hehe~
I just took a look casually, the two cousins don't need to be so cautious. "
Li Jing smiled awkwardly.
In front of his relatives in this life, he was really a little embarrassed.
After all, falling in love at the age of 14 is extremely different from his outlook on life in his previous life.
Although in his previous life, he met his first love when he was twelve or thirteen years old.
But at that time, he didn't understand anything, let alone spend the spring night in the same room.
"The two cousins came here to watch a play?
It's a pity that there have been no Aunt Pingyang dramas recently. "
Seeing that I understand Chai Lingwu's face, Li Jing suddenly changed the subject with a smile.
Brother Chai Zhewei was taken aback when he heard the words, and a layer of mist appeared in his eyes for an instant.
This damned Prince Li Jing really must take revenge.
The two of them were just asking casually, and Li Jing actually used Princess Pingyang Zhao to stimulate their mood.
"Your Highness made my mother famous, I am really grateful.
If my father didn't allow a certain brother to disturb His Highness, the two of them would have already come to pay their respects.
Now that I can see His Highness, I would like to invite His Highness to be worshiped by two brothers. "
Chai Zhewei saluted sincerely.
At this time, Chai Lingwu was a little bit angrily.
Seeing this, Li Jing waved his hands and said calmly: "You two cousins don't have to be like this.
Although I have never met Aunt Pingyang, I still admire her deeds.
Now it's just telling the truth, it can't be a big gift from the two cousins. "
"Well deserved.
Your Highness deserves it. "
Chai Zhewei nodded solemnly.
Li Jing also stopped being hypocritical and courteous.
The three chatted a few words in a low voice, then they clasped their fists in salute, and led their entourage to disperse.
"Oh~
The Chai brothers even worshiped Sima Yi.
Xiong Da, what do you think? "
After walking a dozen steps forward, Li Jing squinted his eyes and asked in a low voice.
Cheng Chumo was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Brother Li, you don't suspect that the Chai brothers are rebellious, do you?
The two of them are relatives of the emperor! "
"Why not?
Brothers are fighting for the throne, let alone a cousin. "
Li Jing shook his head, frowned and said: "You tell Liu Rong later, let him send someone to watch Chai Lingwu.
As for Chai Shao...
Take it easy for now.
His father especially trusted him, and it was not easy to make enemies with him. "
"The last will obey."
……
Because of Li Shimin, Li Jing never sent anyone to monitor Chai Shao.
Li Shimin also sent Baiqisi spies to keep an eye on the paper workshop in the city because of Li Jing.
Now that Li Jing's layout has begun to emerge, except for the people from the "Lushan" family, the onlookers have somewhat guessed.
It's just that before the last moment, everyone didn't know what Li Jing wanted to do.
Therefore, whoever secretly visits the family at this moment must not be of one mind with the royal family.
And such a person will naturally be recorded in the little black book in Li Shimin's heart.
"Liu Jishu, is there any movement at Qingque?"
Li Shimin put down the imperial pen, turned his neck and asked casually.
Hearing this, Liu Jishu lowered his head, clasped his fists and said, "Return to Your Majesty.
King Wei just sent someone to deliver a message that the new paper can be produced in large quantities.
Only because His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to catch them all in one go, he kept a secret for the time being. "
"Humph!
The crown prince wants to kill the grass and root out the root, so as not to give the family a chance to turn around!
I don't know where he learned his cruelty! "
Li Shimin snorted coldly and shook his head, with a dignified look on his face.
Liu Jishu lowered his head and snickered when he saw it, his shoulders trembled silently.
After all, in terms of cruelty, who in the world can compare with His Majesty Li Er.
He ridiculed Li Jing so much, he really felt a sense of joy.
"Did the prince ever mention how he wants to deal with the Zuo family?"
Li Shimin didn't know what Liu Jishu was thinking, he frowned and asked self-consciously.
Liu Jishu nodded, and said solemnly: "Your Highness said that such a man without a king or father should be killed as an example to the world.
Moreover, the Zuo family hoarded and disrupted the market, causing the people to suffer greatly, and killing them was just a way to vent their anger with the people. "
Li Shimin nodded when he heard the words, and said solemnly: "The Zuo family despised the imperial power, and it is not a bad idea to kill one to make an example.
But what about the Cui family?
How does the prince plan to deal with the Cui family? "
"This……"
Liu Jishu hesitated for a while, then lowered his head and said, "His Royal Highness said that he has never heard of the Cui family in the capital, nor did he know that there is a Cui family in Jizhou..."
"hiss!"
Li Shimin gasped when he heard the words, stood up abruptly and said, "What exactly does the prince want to do?
Could it be that he wants to kill everything, cut grass and roots? ! "
"Uh……"
Liu Jishu was tongue-tied, and replied falteringly: "What His Highness said is not that he wants to do this, but that the people's will is irreversible!"
Li Shimin's thoughts changed sharply when he heard the words, he rubbed his forehead and smiled wryly: "This rebellious son really has such a cruel heart!"
