Chapter 435: Secret meeting!
Chapter 435: Secret meeting!
"Your Majesty, this Zhang Yan deliberately concealed the matter of Yizhou, and according to our investigation, this Zhang Yan has close contacts with the Lu family of the Five Surnames Qiwangzhong, and the secret organization organized by this group of students is also fueled by someone behind the scenes. From various indications, we suspect that this matter has nothing to do with the nobles. They may use their students to launch a bourgeois revolution and regain their lost dominance. Among the businessmen, they also have a very high prestige, if they really do something and can publicize it, they can attract many speculators to participate, businessmen are chasing profit, the emperor, you must guard against it, I suggest that the emperor arrest these people in advance." Li Rui's face Said with an expression.
Li Yin read the secret report, he knew many of the people on it, many of them were from schools in Yizhou, and even the army participated in this matter, Li Yin looked at these names, his heart was colder than ever, he was very concerned about everyone Personally, he is benevolent and righteous. He can pat his chest and say that he is a wise king, but these people are delusional about turning the Tang Empire into a country controlled by capitalists for self-interest. Li Yin will never allow this to happen. .
"Continue to monitor, let? Top? Point? The novel uses all resources to control the information of these people, and at the same time collects evidence of their crimes. Don't startle the snake for now." Li Yin lit the secret report, and the flames burned in front of him. Li Yin thought he could avoid the fact that he could build his empire with many corpses, but he was still too naive. The struggle for power was far more cruel than he imagined.
??Li Rui was a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, if you don't do anything at this time, when will you have to wait?"
?? "We must get rid of the roots. In order to wipe out these people, we have to wait for them to raise the flag of rebellion, so that their guilt will be confirmed." Li Yan said coldly.
?? "But when will this wait?" Li Rui continued.
?? "Your secret report said that they also made a plan to assassinate me in the court, so I will give them this chance." Li Yin thought for a while. This year's court meeting, Li Yin will deliver a New Year's speech by the Qujiang Pool. This news has already been spread through the newspapers, so he will do his best.
??Li Rui nodded upon hearing the words, "But this is too dangerous."
?? Li Yan smiled faintly: "These people hold outdated gunpowder at most, and the power will not be too great. I can order a set of protective clothing from Li Ran."
??As Li Yin's housekeeper, Li Rui naturally wanted to consider Li Yin's safety. Li Yin insisted on this, so he had no choice but to monitor this matter with all his strength and exert the maximum energy of the intelligence system.
??After Li Rui left. Li Yin put away his smile, now that he can't trust anyone, and he can't make preparations in advance, because anyone may reveal his plan, so the people Li Yin asked Li Rui to use are terminators who were programmed into the shadow guards , and since Datang's army cannot be mobilized at will, he has to rely on the clone army at the Australian base.
?? Called Li Ran, and Li Yan asked him to assemble an army of 100,000 clones to stand by. At the same time, let him monitor the overseas garrisons, and allow them to strike preemptively if there is any change. This is also Li Yin's surefire strategy. This time, he wants to let all the people with ulterior motives come out.
?? Arranging these things secretly, Li Yin handled the government affairs normally, and at the same time prepared for the New Year's affairs, as if nothing happened.
?? To celebrate the new year. Li Min brought Li Shimin and others to Chang'an before the new year. At the same time, Qin Huaiyu, Zhu Youzhi, Xue Rengui and other generals also received orders to rush to Chang'an to participate in the Great Court Meeting. And countless merchant officials rushed to Chang'an from all over the Tang Dynasty, making the ancient capital of Chang'an glow with all the unprecedented vitality.
When Li Yin set the trap, a lot of wine for celebration was transported to Chang'an by three trucks. These wines were all loaded into half-meter-high wooden wine barrels, and they were marked as drinks prepared for the Great Court Meeting. They were famous wines from the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, during this period, many officials and military generals came and went frequently, and the backgrounds of these people were more or less related to the elites of the gentry. In a secret basement in the western suburbs of Chang'an, dozens of people in silk and satin Businessmen are discussing something.
"This time Li Yin is sure to deliver a speech at the Great Court Meeting, so they put explosives under the raised table. At that time, there will be eunuchs in the palace who should light the gunpowder barrel. As long as the gunpowder barrel is ignited, Li Yin will die. Undoubtedly, as long as Li Yin is dead and there is no leader in the Tang Dynasty, it will be the best time for us to take action." An old man said, "When the time comes, we will use the banner of the capitalist revolution, and other businessmen will not support us, nor will they stop us. Once the world gathers to respond, the merchants' financial resources are enough to quickly form a powerful army."
"Old Li is right. Li Yin's prestige among the people is too great. If he doesn't die, we will never be able to recover. However, after ten or twenty years, those of us who are powerful will only die. An excuse to establish a brand-new political system, and at that time, as long as we change our identities, we will still control the real power of the Tang Empire." The speaker with a slanted eye is Lu Jin, so the matter of corruption, Lu Jin Almost all the officials in the family were purged, killed and exiled, and Lu Jin was also sent to the Western Regions. It is unusual to appear here at this time.
Those present here are all well-known powerful families in the Tang Dynasty. After Li Yin ascended the throne, their power in the court shrunk severely. It can be said that Li Yin’s anti-corruption purge basically drove them out of the political center. They knew that On the bright side, it is impossible to fight against Li Yin, and they can only look for other opportunities. At this time, the bourgeoisie created by Li Yin and those students who have accepted advanced knowledge concepts have become their targets. During these years, these The nobles also thought about how to change themselves, so they sent many family children to study in various schools, and these family children instilled a capitalist concept in them.
This rekindled hope in their hearts. A country controlled by chaebols was exactly what they needed. Because of their strong financial resources, these chaebols took advantage of the new opportunity to become new famous rich men with countless assets. The entire business world was shocked. If such an empire was established, they would definitely occupy a place in the new country. Therefore, they decided to start a secret cooperation on the grounds that the current system is no longer suitable for the development of Datang, and use the blind enthusiasm of the students Create your own momentum.
?? "Well, the gunpowder is enough to send Li Yin to heaven, but should we support that prince as a puppet?" Zheng family asked alone.
This question silenced everyone. Even if Li Yin died, the Li royal family would still be a problem. Besides, Li Yin still had a son, so they must find a prince, so that they could justify their name and not offend the entire Li royal family. The Li family still had a force that could not be ignored in the Tang Dynasty.
"We already have a candidate." At this time, a person stood up, but it was Fang Yiai. After Fang Xuanling died three years ago, before the funeral was over, he and Princess Gaoyang had a quarrel with the eldest brother. family, was reprimanded by Li Yin, and then listened to by Gao Yang, resentful towards Li Yin, he said: "His Royal Highness Wei Wang is willing to wish us a helping hand."
??"Wei Wang? He is really willing to help me." Lu Jinxi said, Li Chengqian is now a commoner, Li Ke and other princes have a good relationship with Li Yin, and only Wei Wang, a prince who has lost power, agrees with their request.
?? "I also agree with the King of Wei." At this time, another person stood up. This person was wearing a military uniform, but it was Chai Lingwu. He and Fang Yiai used to be the confidantes of the King of Wei, so they naturally admired the King of Wei.
Others saw that Chai Lingwu stood up, and the weight of King Wei was a little heavier. Fang Yiai and Princess Gao Yang were both participants in this secret operation. He has a group of dead men in his hands, and these dead men are mixed in the new army. As long as there is an order, these dead men will break into Chang'an City in the name of revenge for Li Yin, and kill those officials who are loyal to Li Yin.
"Since General Chai also agreed, this is the case. Take advantage of this time, everyone, go back and prepare the militias of each family. Don't make any mistakes at that time. Success or failure depends on one action. We are all betting on it." I can't afford to lose all my wealth." The person known as Li Lao said.
Hearing this, everyone nodded solemnly. Each of their families has spent a lot of money buying slaves from overseas over the years. They are doing work in name, but they are actually training soldiers secretly. The scale accumulated over the years is not small, otherwise they would Also this confidence is desperate.
A plan was agreed upon, and everyone dispersed separately. At this time, they didn't know that their images were being transmitted to Li Yin's study room via satellite. Looking at these people walking out of the basement one by one, Li Yin felt chills. The content of the conversation was also broadcast verbatim by the wiretapping device. In particular, Chai Lingwu, in order to make everyone believe in the king of Wei, also revealed that when Li Yin first arrived in Yizhou, the king of Wei ordered him to arrest Li Yin during the high-power incident. Li Yin has finally figured out the matter of Yin's killing and the incident of the man in black who has been obsessed with it for more than ten years until today.
Looking at the scene of Chai Lingwu and Princess Gao Yang leaving, Li Yin felt the pain for the first time. Gao Yang is his sister, Fang Yiai is also his brother-in-law, and Chai Lingwu is Chai Shao's son, and he is cousin relationship. And Li Tai is his fourth elder brother, and these four people are now going to join forces to seek the throne. Li Min can no longer describe this situation with anger. He took a deep breath, he has done his best to these people, It is they who courted their own death. (To be continued..)
