While Li Shimin and others were extremely worried, the mansion of the Li family looked quite different.

This time.

All the important people from the major families gathered here. What was different from the past was that everyone's faces were full of joy at this time.

Since this period of time, they have been subject to the emperor everywhere, and every time they make a move, the result is a disastrous defeat.

even.

Most people have forgotten when was the last time they enjoyed success so much.

Li Yuankai deserved to be cunning and scheming, facing the emperor's deliberate calculations, he easily solved the problem with a little action.

nowadays.

Books are hard to find in most places, and even if you can find a complete set of related books, it is not something ordinary people can afford to buy.

No matter how you look at the current situation, the emperor has been pushed into a dead end, and there is no way to turn things around.

Although the members of the aristocratic family did not dare to celebrate blatantly, they closed their doors, set up a stage, and sang Daqu and song and dance operas.

The backyard was filled with dozens of tables of banquets, and there was a lot of people talking.

What Pei Ji likes most is this kind of scene, holding a glass of wine and shuttling through the crowd, enjoying this rare success to the fullest!

"Now there are basically no books related to imperial examinations on the market. Although I paid a lot of money, I got the best results!"

"Who says it's not? Since the emperor said that the imperial examination will be held, you have no jokes. It is absolutely impossible to take it back. Now ordinary people can't buy related books, and it is impossible to participate in the exam. In this way, it will be cheaper for us. These people are gone!"

"Hahaha... When the disaster just started, we were willing to give food to the emperor to give some official positions, but he wanted to fight us to the end. Now that we have made such a big circle, we finally achieved our goal. What do you say? Why is this necessary?"

The crowd started to discuss with the strength of wine, and laughed loudly from time to time.

Li Yuankai sat at the top, looking at the scene in front of him with great satisfaction, the smile on Xin's face never disappeared.

As these people said, they tried every means at the beginning to force the emperor to use people from major families on a large scale.

But at that time, the emperor would rather pay a higher price than agree to their request. Now that he has wasted so much energy, he has gone full circle and returned to the original point.

not to mention.

Now they just spent the money they earned from the emperor to achieve their goals easily. In the future, they will all be their own people in the examination room of the imperial examination.

Li Yuankai really wanted to know, what kind of mood is the emperor now?
Thinking of this, he, who has always been serious, couldn't help laughing wildly.

The door of Li's mansion was closed, and he said he could not see anyone, but it couldn't stop the singing and dancing coming out of it, as well as the wild laughter of the crowd.

Li Ji, who was in charge of leading the patrol, just happened to hear all kinds of lively sounds inside when he walked by, and his expression became extremely gloomy in an instant.

He has also heard about the recent events, so he naturally knows that these guys from the aristocratic family took some advantage in the confrontation with the emperor, so they celebrated so arrogantly.

For him, the closed door but the lively noise here is a naked provocation and contempt for him and the court, as if to say to them, so what if I let you know?
Li Ji, who has a fiery temper, immediately wanted to lead his troops to rush in and teach these guys a good lesson, but he endured it after working hard for a long time.

These people in the family are scheming, God knows if it is the result they deliberately want to see.

It is best not to act without the emperor's explicit instructions.

otherwise.

It is very likely to cause unnecessary trouble!
Just like that... Li Ji stood outside Li's mansion and looked at it for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and led the people away quickly.

then.

He handed over the patrol team to others, and entered the palace alone as quickly as possible.

These people are too arrogant, it is still necessary to let the emperor know the real situation.

however.

Li Ji, who came to Ganlu Palace, not only saw Emperor Li Shimin, but also Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others gathered here with sad faces...

……

"Your Majesty, when the general made his inspection just now, he found that people from all major families gathered together to celebrate. These guys are really too much. Please allow the general to arrest these people!" Li Ji's emotion Quite excited, can't wait to do it directly now.

He also clearly saw the reaction of the emperor and Wei Zheng, which was obviously related to the things that the major families were celebrating.

This is even more excessive!
If this continues to be left alone, will they not be able to crawl on top of their heads to shit?
"This is absolutely impossible..." Li Shimin sighed for a long time, and shook his head helplessly.

"Dealing with these people is different from nomads. You must not rely on brute force. Fighting and killing may have some effect, but it will not make a big impact!"

"If it is really indiscriminate and direct, then what is the difference between Zhen and Emperor Sui Yang? The aristocratic family is quite prestigious in various places. Once such a thing happens, the whole country may abandon their troops and rebel!"

"At that time, I will become a sinner through the ages!"

From Li Shimin's words, it can be clearly felt that he really agrees with Li Ji's opinion from the bottom of his heart, but because he is the emperor and has to take into account the stability of the Tang Dynasty, he wants to do it but cannot do it.

Seeing this scene, Li Ji felt quite uncomfortable. The emperor is the Ninth Five-Year King, and almost everyone thinks that he can do whatever he wants.

but.

But he watched helplessly these people from the aristocratic family doing evil, and there was nothing he could do about it. Just because he was the emperor and pretended to be the Tang Dynasty in his heart, he had to suffer such grievances?

At this time, both Li Ji and Changsun Wuji could feel Li Shimin's difficulties and distress.

"Some time ago, we could rely on His Royal Highness's private money to tide over the difficulties, but this time the matter is completely different, and they finally seized the opportunity!" Changsun Wuji smiled wryly.

The few of them have been discussing here for a long time, and they have considered all kinds of possibilities. This time it seems to be a deadlock, and there is no way to solve it.

Unless... the emperor is willing to bow his head to the family!
Of course, this is absolutely impossible. If Li Shimin is willing to compromise, there is no need to do so many things, and he chose to cooperate with them from the beginning.

The hall fell into silence again. Just when Li Shimin felt desperate and even began to think about whether he really wanted to compromise, Li Ji's eyes lit up suddenly, and he thought of another thing.

"Your Majesty, I have thought of something about acting as the king..."
