"Food, seeds, agricultural tools, and livestock are all firmly in their hands."

"If they take these things back, the people of Tang Dynasty can only sit at home and wait to die."

Chapter 84 tit for tat

This time, Wang Mingyuan stepped forward, all in order to make up for his mistakes.

The Lu family in Fanyang was destroyed, the Zheng family in Xingyang betrayed the five surnames and Qiwang, and the Qinghuo firm rose rapidly, and Wang's business was hit hard. Wang Dingshan pushed all the blame on Wang Mingyuan.

If it wasn't for Wang Mingyuan's position as a servant, Wang Dingshan would have expelled him from the capital long ago.

Once out of Chang'an City, it would be as difficult as going to heaven for him to turn over again in his life.

However, even if Wang Mingyuan continues to stay in Chang'an City, it will be even more difficult for him to take a step closer to the Wang family.

If he didn't make any meritorious deeds, his current position would be the end of his life.

Every time he thought of this, Wang Mingyuan would clenched his fists, bristled with anger, and kept greeting Li Chengqian in his heart.

Wei Wang Li Tai withdrew from the party struggle, his brother's leg was broken and everything he experienced was all thanks to Li Chengqian.

However, today, Li Shimin suddenly proposed to rectify the trend of land annexation, which gave Wang Mingyuan an opportunity.

The merger and consolidation of land will be a major event that affects the whole body.

As the backbone of the Tang Dynasty, the powerful landlords held the agricultural lifeline of the Tang Dynasty in their hands, and their influence should not be underestimated.

They hold nearly [-]% of Datang's grain in their hands, which means that most of Datang's grain consumption is directed at the landlord class.

If Li Shimin violated their interests, they would fight desperately to the end.

The landlord class is mostly hedonistic, and cutting off their wealth is as serious as hurting their lives.

And once he becomes the talker of these powerful landlords in the court, he will definitely win over a large number of people.

At that time, I will have enough influence to make Wang Dingshan look at me with admiration, maybe I have hope to enter the elders' seat.

On the dragon chair...

Li Shimin listened to Wang Mingyuan's words, and said with a smile: "Oh! What a loyal and good generation, what a good one for the Tang Dynasty."

These words came out of Wang Mingyuan's mouth, which made Li Shimin feel particularly harsh, "Then according to Wang Shilang's opinion, what should I do?"

Hearing this, the ministers above the court turned their attention to Wang Mingyuan.

Some people are grateful; some people are disdainful; some people have doubts in their eyes;

Some people look at him like a clown.

However, they all admired Wang Mingyuan for having such great courage.

Paused...

Wang Mingyuan opened his mouth and said: "I think that now that the Tang Dynasty is in danger, with powerful enemies outside and unstable internal foundations, if His Majesty wants to rectify the land annexation, those landlords who regard the Tang Dynasty as their own will definitely be extremely sad."

"If they do something unfavorable to Datang because of this, I think it must be something His Majesty does not want to see."

"And if His Majesty can support the landlord class and encourage land annexation, then they will be grateful to His Majesty. When the treasury is empty, they will definitely help His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, don't forget that most of Tang's military rations come from landlords."

When the words fell, Wang Mingyuan was full of ambition. Although this move would offend Li Shimin and others, it was nothing compared to his becoming a talker of the landlord class.

boom!

"Presumptuous!" Li Shimin's right hand patted heavily on the copy, "Wang Mingyuan, with which eye do you see that the Tang Dynasty is in danger, and with which eye do you see the internal and external troubles of the Tang Dynasty?"

"The annexation of the land caused the people of the Tang Dynasty to live in dire straits, and the people lived in dire straits. How dare you let me support the powerful landlords? What are your intentions!"

"Do you really think that I dare not touch you!"

Wang Mingyuan turned black and white, and Li Shimin unconsciously became angry by telling the truth, and he was a little impatient.

At this moment, he recalled Liu Sheng, Huniu's family, and Zhao Wenyuan.

How kind and simple they are, loyal and patriotic.

They are the root of Datang's development, and they are the soul of Datang's prosperity.

They lived at the bottom of the Tang Dynasty, witnessed the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty, and lived the most authentic life.

On the other hand, the various officials above the court, headed by Wang Mingyuan, they are the scourge of Datang, they are the moths of Datang, and they are the ones that Datang should really eradicate.

As a subject of the Tang Dynasty, living on the state's salary, but never doing anything beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, instead disregarding the country's prosperity for his own self-interest, he really deserves to be killed.

"I'm terrified!" Wang Mingyuan said confidently, "I think it's okay to sacrifice the interests of some common people for the sake of the stability of the Tang Dynasty."

"They sacrificed for the country, that is their blessing! I really can't think of the intentions of the people who mentioned this matter. It is clear that they want to provoke a civil war in Tang Dynasty."

Wang Mingyuan looked directly at Li Shimin, refusing to give an inch, and pressed on every step of the way!

"Heh!" Li Chengqian looked at Wang Mingyuan with a playful look on his face: "It sounds like Wang Shilang has some opinions on the rectification and annexation of the land proposed by the palace."

"I want to hear what Wang Shilang thinks is my intention?"

Hearing Li Chengqian's voice, Wang Mingyuan's heart trembled.

Who is Li Chengqian, the Great Demon King in the Tang Dynasty.

For a commoner's wife, he led the white-robed army into the mansion of Zhang Liang's adoptive son, and personally killed Zhang Yunsheng, who had outstanding military exploits.

It is said that he didn't even give Li Shimin face at that time.

As soon as this incident happened, Chang'an City was shocked.

lean less...

Wang Mingyuan said slowly: "His Royal Highness, you are still young, and you may not have a deep understanding of politics."

"As the minister said, the annexation of land will affect the whole body, so we must not act hastily."

Although he was afraid, Wang Mingyuan still didn't flinch, and he went straight to Li Shimin and his son.

Above the court, it can be said that he stole the limelight.

Li Chengqian looked at the complacent Wang Mingyuan, and said with a smile in his heart, you just dance, you just play dead, originally you wanted to make a trick.

I didn't expect him to get in so impatiently, and in such a high-profile manner.

"Huh?" Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and said, "Then I would like to know more about rectifying the trend of land annexation. Whose hair is pulling and whose body is moving?"

"Could it be that it's your hair that's pulling? It's Wang's body that's moving?"

At this moment, he just wanted to stir up Wang Mingyuan's competitive spirit, and then give him a chance to take revenge on himself.

Wang Mingyuan said indifferently: "His Royal Highness's words are different. My Wang family is just like the Zheng family. Both of them are dedicated to the country and society of the Tang Dynasty."

"His Royal Highness can accommodate Mrs. Zheng, so he must understand Mrs. Wang's painstaking efforts."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the court hall.

Wang Mingyuan is really brave enough today, Zheng's defection to Li Chengqian is an open secret in itself, and there is nothing wrong with it.

And above the court, when he mentioned this matter in front of Li Shimin, it seemed a little bit to sow discord.

After all, it was Li Chengqian, not Li Shimin, who the Zheng family took refuge in.

He used this to make a fuss, which has to make people think too much.

Chapter 85

After hearing Wang Mingyuan's words, the several princes who knew the truth wanted to run up and beat him up.

This is the first time they have heard such absurd words of sacrificing the interests of the common people for the sake of the powerful landlords.

As the Minister of the Tang Dynasty, it is really unfortunate for the Tang Dynasty that Wang Mingyuan had such an idea.

This also shows from the side that Datang's internal worries are indeed serious.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin who was filled with righteous indignation, and shook his head helplessly, he really couldn't hold back his cheap father.

Wang Mingyuan pissed him off with just a few words, even though they had already planned the whole thing.

Li Chengqian thought to himself, it's okay to bully Li Shimin by himself, but if others bully him, he has to ask himself whether he agrees or not.

Don't look at the fact that Li Chengqian is always stunned by Li Shimin, at critical moments, he also protects Li Shimin.

At this time, he decided to avenge Li Shimin first.

Li Chengqian turned around and looked at Wang Mingyuan, "Wang Shilang, do you think the land conservatorship doesn't need rectification?"

Wang Mingyuan said calmly: "Yes!"

"Do you think you are thinking of Datang?"

"Yes!"

"Do you think this palace is making trouble for no reason?"

"Yes."

After the words fell, Wang Mingyuan suddenly felt that something went wrong, and he was still remembering it in his heart.

Sudden……

Li Chengqian said: "Come here! Wang Mingyuan dares to insult the palace in the court, and he will be punished twenty times, just to make an example to others!"

Wang Mingyuan: "??"

In the court hall, the other ministers also looked confused. The prince is really a man of temperament, and even the reason for the stick is so random.

However, they felt very happy, Wang Mingyuan really deserved to be beaten.

Li Chengqian tried this trick repeatedly with great success. Li Shimin suffered from it at the beginning, but he didn't expect Wang Mingyuan to be fooled today.

In fact, Li Chengqian had a purpose in letting Wang Mingyuan accept the [-] boards.

Wang Mingyuan was so prominent and was punished, there must be many people who will regard Wang Mingyuan as a confidant and tie themselves to his warship.

Wang Mingyuan will surely become the leader of their struggle.

Li Chengqian did this not because he was afraid that things would become too big, but because he was afraid that things would not be big enough.

The bigger the incident, the more people will be involved, and the more people will jump out.

At that time, it will be Li Chengqian's time to do it all.

Hearing this, Li Shimin's frowning brows relaxed slightly, and he felt much more comfortable when he heard that Li Chengqian was going to punish Wang Mingyuan for [-] boards.

Li Chengqian had told him about this in advance.

Angry Wang Mingyuan, let Wang Mingyuan follow their rhythm, they also discussed in advance.

However, even though Wang Mingyuan was tricked, Li Shimin followed suit.

Li Shimin said: "Come here, do as the prince wants!"

immediately……

A few guards came up and dragged Wang Mingyuan out.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"

……

Wang Mingyuan begged bitterly in the court hall, but being punished by the stick was beyond his expectation.

He didn't expect Li Chengqian to play word games with him, the majestic prince of the Tang Dynasty, is it really good to play this kind of trick?

At this moment, he finally realized that he was really wronged by the [-] boards.

After Wang Mingyuan was dragged out.

Li Shimin stood up from the dragon chair and scanned the ministers in the court hall.

He slowly said: "I have made up my mind to rectify the trend of land annexation. No one is allowed to obstruct it for any reason. Those who violate the order will be severely punished!"

"Li Daozong listens to the order!"

Hearing this, Li Daozong stood up, "The minister is here."

Li Shimin said to him: "In the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the trend of land annexation has become more and more serious, and land infringement cases have been repeatedly banned. From now on, I will order the Criminal Department to reiterate that all land invasion cases, no matter how big or small the officials involved, no matter how deep their backgrounds are, will be thoroughly punished. Check properly."

"Anyone who forcibly seizes a farmer's farmland will be punished with a higher crime, and the farmland involved will be returned to the farmer in full and the farmers will be compensated for their losses."
