Datang: Integrate three times the combat power of Lv Bu at the beginning

Today, Li Shimin didn't even attend the morning court, those ministers, he had enough headaches just thinking about it.

While eating shredded potatoes, Li Shimin casually picked up a piece of sesame biscuit and started to eat it.

After all, Li Shimin was born as a general. This eclectic eating appearance is really embarrassing.

Li Chengqian said: "Father, are these snacks delicious to you?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin slowed down his chewing speed, and immediately picked up his imperial airs again.

He picked up the porridge bowl and took a sip, swallowing the food in his mouth.

Li Shimin said: "Don't think that if I eat your meal, this matter is over."

Li Chengqian sipped the porridge lightly, "I don't know what the father means?"

"Heh." Li Shimin said contemptuously: "You don't know? You really saw a ghost. Didn't you kill those landlords in front of the palace yesterday?"

Li Chengqian put down the porridge bowl, and said flatly: "That's right, it was my son who killed me."

He spoke calmly, as if what he mentioned was just a trivial matter.

Li Shimin really couldn't understand his indifferent attitude. Aren't they in the same world?How to say so easily.

Chapter 101 Whose heart does the emperor want his son to win over?

Li Shimin looked at him straight, "You killed him, why do I feel that this matter doesn't seem to have much impact in your eyes?"

"Is there?" Li Chengqian looked up at him, "Since I returned to the Criminal Department yesterday, I have been in the dossier room and fell asleep not long after. As for what happened outside, I really don't know."

Li Chengqian said, picked up the bowl, and scooped up another bowl of porridge.

Li Shimin stared at his porridge spoon and frowned, "Do you know how many people visited you yesterday? Do you know how many people you killed yesterday, and do you know their background? Prince, why don't you even have the most basic means to win people's hearts?"

At this moment, Li Shimin really has some headaches. He knows that the emperor not only needs iron and blood skills, but also buying people's hearts is an indispensable item.

And this is almost Li Chengqian's weakness.

In other dynasties, the princes would more or less keep some followers, and the important officials in the court also tried their best to win them over.

But Li Chengqian was different. In private, he had almost no contact with anyone, and he had never had any private contact with these princes and ministers.

Li Shimin could see that Li Chengqian was confident in his bones, he acted as if he didn't care about anything, and he didn't bother to do those things from the bottom of his heart.

But when it comes to the common people, his heart is warmed up again, he will not be reckless in doing things, and pays great attention to details.

He really didn't know whether it was good or bad.

"Win people's hearts?" Li Chengqian said disdainfully: "Whose hearts does the emperor want my son to win over? Those who put their heads on my son's knife are still people who carelessly ignore human lives behind their backs, people from the fish and meat village."

Li Chengqian hated Li Shimin the most. With his face, when he spoke, he never stood for the interests of the common people.

"Okay." Li Shimin resigned, "Let's not mention this matter for now. Those landlords went to the imperial city to make trouble. I just don't see them. Why did you kill them all in full view?"

"Wouldn't it be better if you go around through the other doors?"

Li Chengqian really wanted to laugh when he heard this, "Who are they? They are the main perpetrators of our land invasion case? You asked your son to detour for them? Aren't you afraid that our Li family will be ridiculed by the world?"

Li Shimin said displeased: "Then we must kill them? What is the Ministry of Criminal Justice for? There are tens of thousands of criminals in the world, do you need to do it all?"

Li Chengqian refused to give an inch, "If they put their heads on my son's knife, then I don't mind giving them a ride."

"I don't understand what my father is afraid of? Afraid that they will join my son, afraid that they will set fire to the food? Are you afraid that they will rebel?"

"Father, you don't know how serious internal and external troubles are in the Tang Dynasty today. If you continue to let things go, then the people of the Tang Dynasty would have died in the hands of these landlords if they didn't die at the hands of the Turks."

After listening to Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin remained silent. He always felt that something was wrong. He agreed that he would find Li Chengqian to vent his anger today. It seemed that the responsibility was all his own.

Li Shimin said: "How can I not know these truths? The end of the year is approaching, and most of the seeds of the Tang Dynasty are in the hands of the landlords. If they jump over the wall and burn all the seeds, what will the people of the Tang Dynasty eat next year?" What do the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty eat? Have you ever thought about this?"

At this time, Li Shimin also reacted. Li Chengqian took out potatoes and Quyuanli at that time, just to give himself a reassurance.

After careful consideration, he realized that it was unrealistic to use potatoes to save Datang, and Li Chengqian didn't have that many potato seeds.

However, based on the yield per mu of potatoes, it will only be a matter of time before it is promoted to the whole Tang Dynasty.

Because of this, Li Shimin's determination to endure has been strengthened. If it can be delayed for two or three years, and potatoes are fully promoted, they will really not be afraid.

However, this good wish has been torn apart by Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian said lightly: "Father, do you really think they have such guts? Did you hear any signs of trouble last night?"

"They didn't dare to move last night, do you think they still have a chance?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, who was confident, and didn't know what to say. No matter what, he could be sure.

lean less...

Qin Feng ran in from outside the house, "His Royal Highness, Zheng Yingjie is here and said that there is something urgent to report to His Highness."

Hearing this, Li Shimin raised his eyebrows. The head of the Zheng family came to Li Chengqian at this time, he must have come to intercede for some landlord.

He would like to see how Li Chengqian handles these matters.

Li Shimin said lightly: "Zheng Yingjie is here, Cheng Qian, go and see him, I won't bother you."

He said, but didn't have any intention of leaving.

Li Chengqian looked at the dead-skinned Li Shimin, and knew what he meant.

He said: "Zheng Yingjie must have come here for the land invasion case. Father, let's go and have a look together. By the way, I will also verify whether your worries are superfluous."

"Hehe." Li Shimin smiled and said, "Let me follow? Zheng Yingjie will tell the truth when he sees me?"

Li Chengqian said: "It's okay, you can just hide in the back room and listen for a while, and besides, there is no need for my son to collude with Zheng Yingjie, this kind of thing, my son doesn't bother to do."

Li Shimin said bluntly: "Okay, then I will listen to what good news Zheng Yingjie has for you."

living room……

Li Chengqian sat in the hall, while Li Shimin hid in the back room with the old eunuch Chen Lin. He specially chose a place near the door so that he could hear everything in the hall clearly.

Outside the hall, Zheng Yingjie walked in quickly, "See Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "Elder Zheng, you don't need to be formal, please sit down? What do you want to tell me today?"

Li Shimin said in his heart: "Hehe, this old Zheng's call is really kind."

At this time, Li Shimin felt a little jealous, he didn't have such a loyal family under his command.

Zheng Yingjie smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, you are too polite. The grassroots came here to tell you good news."

"Today, before dawn, a large number of landlords came to Cao Min's house in person, and presented the confession with both hands, hoping that Cao Min could present His Highness the Crown Prince."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian said calmly, "Old Zheng, you know my principles."

"Heh." Li Shimin said disdainfully in the room: "You still have principles? When I saw you killing people, why didn't you talk about principles like this? When you hate me, why didn't you talk about principles like this?"

At this moment, Li Shimin has been waiting for Li Chengqian to make a fool of himself. He thinks that Zheng Yingjie must have come to intercede for the landlord. If his subordinates do such a thing, his face will definitely be dishonored.

Chapter 102

Zheng Yingjie responded: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the grassroots of course know your principles. The grassroots have checked all their confessions in person, and there is no one who begs for mercy."

"They have seen His Highness's method yesterday. The bloody scene had a great impact on their hearts. They felt that confronting His Highness the Crown Prince would not end well."

"Although there are no more fields and less money and food, they are already very rich, and they have shops in the market. Even if they can't be as rich as before, they can still live well. No matter what, it's better than losing their lives. good."

"Most people here don't have any murder cases. They just extract money and food from the common people. Although they bully the market, they don't kill people. They are willing to return the cultivated land to the tenant farmers, and they are willing to compensate them with some money, food and seeds. In exchange for His Highness's leniency."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded, "What about those who have murder cases at hand?"

For these people, Li Chengqian is willing to give them a chance, and the land annexation is invincible.

The landlord was at fault, but it also had a lot to do with the court's inaction.

When Prince Yin was in power, he put almost all his energy on enjoying himself and dealing with Li Shimin.

Coupled with the chaos in the world, the imperial court can only turn a blind eye to many things.

These people are at most standing in the wind and doing some outrageous things.

But those who are blood-debt are different.

As the saying goes, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. They are used to living a life of recklessness.

Even if he reluctantly gave up the farmland and money and food now, he will definitely get it back intensified in the future.

Furthermore, killing for life is an eternal truth.

Murderers are always killed.

If not.

How strict the law is, how clear the law is, and why the law is not strict, how can it restrain the people of the world.

Zheng Yingjie said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Highness, those who can't understand the situation are all rejected by the grassroots, and the rest who have murders in their hands are willing to obey the law, whether they are killed or cut, they are all willing to plead guilty, but I just hope that His Highness can escape the law." Forgive me, don't sit still."

Li Shimin in the room frowned when he heard this, the plot was different from what he expected.

Confession of guilt, when did these notorious landlords become so easy to talk.

Li Chengqian didn't collude with Zheng Yingjie to deceive me.

Li Shimin shook his head thinking about it. With his personality, he should not bother to do such a thing.

Li Chengqian said indifferently: "There is no problem with extrajudicial favors. Besides, in front of the imperial city yesterday, my palace has personally promised that those who voluntarily surrender and return the land and money to the tenant farmers will be leniently dealt with by the palace."

The result was as he expected.

These landlords don't have such hard bones at all.

In front of the palace, Li Chengqian didn't even look at who it was, and directly slaughtered him.

If this can't deter them, then it's really a hell.

These landlords did not experience hundreds or even thousands of years of inheritance like the five surnames and Qiwang.

But even so, Lu Shi was crushed to pieces by Li Chengqian's white-robed army.

Therefore, these landlords thought of Li Chengqian's various actions, and gave up the idea of ​​​​resisting.

Zheng Yingjie responded: "Okay, with the words of His Royal Highness, the grassroots will understand. His Highness understands the righteousness, and if he is willing to give them a way to survive, then the Wang family's conspiracy will be self-defeating."

"Now, most of the landlords hate Wang to death. In the end, they realized that none of the landlords who had a good relationship with Wang showed up."

"On the contrary, most of the landlords who had a bad relationship with him died in front of the palace."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian chuckled inwardly. In fact, this matter was fueled by him.

Wang shi tripped him up, so he naturally wouldn't make Wang shi comfortable.

Li Chengqian used tricks to encourage those who had no intention of going to the Wang family when they had a bad relationship with the Wang family.

Those who were friends with the Wang family and wanted to go, Li Chengqian asked Su Dingfang to prescribe drugs, beat them with a sap, and kidnap them, all of them were abruptly stopped.

In this way, even if Wang jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to clean up.

Li Chengqian said indifferently: "You should deal with this matter as soon as possible. The faster the landlord returns the cultivated land, the more proactive we will be."

Zheng Yingjie saluted and said: "Caomin understands, Caomin will go back and do it."

Hearing Li Chengqian's tone, Li Shimin's mood sank, and he gradually discovered that this seemed to be just a game of Li Chengqian's.

He fell into deep thought, "When did Chengqian start?"

Royal Father, I invite you to go on an outing...

One picture after another floated in Li Shimin's mind. It was also from that time that he learned about the suffering of tenant farmers and the ruthlessness of landlords.

At that time, my desire to promote land reform began to germinate.

Another month later, Li Chengqian showed himself the extremely high-yield potatoes and Quyuanli, which strengthened his confidence even more.

A few days ago, I saw what Duan Fanglong did with my own eyes, which deepened his desire to deal with the land invasion case as soon as possible.

He thought about all this carefully, unexpected but reasonable.

Li Shimin couldn't help but sighed, "Oh..."

At this moment, he seems to have seen a matchless chess game with Chang'an City as the game.

He floated above Chang'an City, bent down and looked down, the densely packed people were like chess pieces, being pulled from time to time by the lines connecting the sky.

Li Shimin raised his eyes and looked forward, Li Chengqian, who was playing chess like a giant, was looking at him calmly.
