Chapter 151 The Prince's Visit
Now, with the emergence of cheap books printed with movable type, the two powerful arms of the family were cut off at once! !
So the noble families panicked. After several days of investigation, they found that the so-called movable type printing was indeed invented by the prince.
As a result, the conspiracy that had previously been carried out secretly against the royal family and the prince gradually surfaced.
They no longer dared to underestimate Li Chengqian.
This is a person who is countless times more terrifying than Yang Guang, and even more terrifying than Li Shimin, the Heavenly Khan.
Yang Guang and Li Shimin only wanted to destroy them physically, but Li Chengqian wanted to completely cut off the family's future spiritually.
The Shandong family held another secret meeting to discuss how to deal with the current changes in the situation.
"We can't allow Li Shimin and Li Chengqian to continue like this!" said Wang Cheng, the patriarch of the Wang family of Taiyuan.
"How do you want to do it?"
"Yes, what can we do now? Assassination is obviously not an option. Li Chengqian is traveling now, and he is accompanied by at least 500 people, including 300 Xuanjia soldiers.
Li Ke values his life. Although we have already started a plan against him, this is a long-term consideration after all, and nothing can be changed in the near future.
But cheap books have begun to appear on the market in large quantities, and the time is imminent!
Are we going to burn down the so-called movable type printing workshop?"
"It's impossible. Ever since the Qinghe Cui family failed to seize the gunpowder workshop last time, Li Shimin's protection of the imperial estate has been watertight and extremely strict."
"I heard that those movable characters are made of clay. If we burn down a workshop, we can quickly build another one. It's not very meaningful, and it's easy to provoke revenge from Li Shimin and Li Chengqian."
"The key is that the Guanlong and Hedong nobles have already sided with the royal family. If we fight head-on, we will no longer have the advantage. So, what is the solution?"
This question immediately silenced everyone.
Wang Cheng of the Taiyuan Wang family said, "Are we just going to sit there and wait for death?"
"If you have any suggestions, just tell me, don't beat around the bush."
Wang Cheng's face turned grim: "Since we can't check Li Shimin from within, let's start from the outside."
Everyone was shocked: "You have contacted Xueyantuo!!"
Wang Cheng nodded: "Yes, since Xueyantuo was defeated last year, I have been providing them with food, ironware and other supplies. Originally, I just wanted to make a little money, but now it seems..."
"What are you going to do? Let Taiyuan go and let the Xueyantuo march straight in?"
"That's right. Let the Xueyantuo march straight in and go south to wipe out those fence-sitters in Hedong first, and warn the nobles in the world that we have the final say in this world, so that they can see the situation clearly.
As for the spread of cheap books, the royal family wants to use it to curb our monopoly on officialdom, but it cannot be accomplished in a short time.
Let's seize this time and have some fun.
I just don’t believe it. Under the dual pressure of Xueyantuo and Goguryeo, the Li Tang royal family will rely on us to resist the enemy, or rely on those poor families and the poor people below! ! "
While the aristocratic families were plotting external unrest, Li Chengqian and his family began a journey to visit ministers.
This was the task given to him by Li Shimin. Li Chengqian could see the sinister intention.
He just wanted to be a hands-off boss and let the prince take over the government after he became familiar with these ministers.
This would allow the emperor to free himself from the busy government affairs and personally lead an expedition to Goguryeo or even Japan.
Li Chengqian did not point it out. After all, the Tang Dynasty would eventually be handed over to him, so visiting and winning over some ministers was part of his plan! !
On the tenth day after returning to the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian started his journey to visit the prince.
The first stop is naturally the most important Tang Dynasty God of War Li Jing.
The three standard equipment of Li Jing, the god of war in the Tang Dynasty: Tangxiahu, Kunlun slave, and Hongfu girl, he also wants to see them!
That morning, he brought Su and his two sons to Li Jing's residence.
Li Jing had received the news in advance and was already waiting at the gate.
The girl Hongfu standing next to him looked radiant and youthful. It was obvious that she had been nourished by the rejuvenated Li Jing during this period.
Her eyes are full of love for Li Jing!
Behind him was a dark-skinned man, who was very tall, not very strong, and a bit old, but in good spirits.
There was also Li Jing's eldest son Li Desai, who was spared the suffering of being exiled thousands of miles away because of Li Chengqian's righteous words at the execution ground.
As for the big axe, Li Chengqian didn't see it, so it's probably inside the mansion!
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess..."
Li Chengqian quickly got out of the car and helped him up: "We are all family, no need to be polite. Where is your big axe? I came here to see it."
Li Jing chuckled: "So Your Highness is not here to see me. Tiger is old now, and now he just eats and basks in the sun all day, and is very lazy."
While the two men were bragging and chatting, Hong Fu also held Su's hand intimately and talked and laughed with the two little kids.
As for the dark-skinned black guy, he acted like a black invisible man throughout the whole process and no one cared about him.
Oh, racial discrimination!
After exchanging greetings, the group entered the mansion.
Women have their own private conversations, and the two little kids are playing with Li Jing's grandchildren.
Li Jing brought Li Chengqian, Li Desai and Heige to the reception room, where a fat and big axe was lying.
roar~~
The appearance of a stranger made Da Xue alert and he stood up and looked at Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian raised the corner of his mouth and stared straight at the pair of tiger eyes.
Li Jing was watching from the side, but Heige had a nervous look on his face, and was on high alert, fearing that the big axe would suddenly go crazy and injure His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
But Li Chengqian and Big Brain Axe only looked at each other for three seconds before Big Brain Axe was defeated first.
The beast's sense of danger made it clearly feel that the not-so-strong human in front of it was very dangerous, extremely dangerous.
Then, it knelt.
It softened instantly and turned into an oversized golden shaded cat that acted coquettishly and cutely.
His belly was exposed and his throat made a gurgling sound as if begging for stroking.
Li Jing laughed out loud, and Li Chengqian also laughed.
How can a mere tiger threaten the great Crown Prince?
Heige and Li Desai looked at each other in bewilderment. In their impression, Big Brain Axe would always grin when he saw a stranger!
He even ignored the Emperor and was finally dragged away under Li Jing's suppression.
Even Brother Hei, an old acquaintance, was often pinned to the ground and rubbed with the big axe.
But when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince met Big Brain Axe for the first time, he actually made him surrender!
He is worthy of being the Son of Heaven, even more so than His Majesty the Emperor!
Li Jing and Li Chengqian sat down respectively. Li Desai and Heige stood by to serve them. Da Naofu lay beside Li Chengqian and rubbed Li Chengqian's hand affectionately with his chin.
Li Chengqian was stroking his oversized golden shaded cat while talking to Li Jing.
The golden gradient said, I feel very comfortable...
