Prince of the Tang Dynasty: Signing in began with harming Li Shimin

Chapter 614 Cui Xian first arrives in Beijing

Li Jing walked out of the dungeon extremely bored, and walked towards the palace without saying a word.

He originally wanted to find fun in Cui Renshi, but he never wanted to be disturbed by his few words.

Now he even faintly felt that there was also original sin in his blood.

If the descendants of the Cui family should pay the price for oppressing the people, it seems that his current body is also doomed to escape the responsibility.

This kind of alternative thinking, which was unheard of in the past, made him very depressed in an instant.

It was as hypocritical and disgusting as if everything he had done over the years had fallen into crocodile tears.

If he wants to change everything and truly seek benefits for the people, he can only do so by enlightening the people's wisdom and promoting the establishment of a constitutional monarchy.

However, he is really hesitant now.

After all, this road is invisible, which is equivalent to giving up the absolute right to get it.

After enjoying the convenience brought by the name of the prince, he really didn't know how to make a choice.

Perhaps because of the nature of power that corrodes people's hearts, it is inevitable that he will be reduced to the ranks of laymen.

In the past, the great belief of establishing a heart for the world and a life for the people has long been exhausted in the long years.

For the rest of his life, he might become more and more used to acting as a prince.

As for the stalwart soul from later generations, it is more appropriate to keep silent in the depths of my mind.

……

In the following days, Liu Rong stayed in Su's dock and never returned.

After talking with Li Jing, Cui Renshi revealed all the secrets hidden in his heart.

For a while, the officials in the capital were panicked, and the court was turbulent.

In just ten or so days, not only dozens of Beijing officials who were acquainted with Cui's family were sacked one after another, but also countless officials who were dormant and waiting were escorted to Beijing in neighboring counties tens of hundreds of miles away.

And the most conspicuous among these people is Cui Xianshou, the director of Yangzhou Shipping Department.

It needs to be known that his current rank is comparable to the six ministers, and he can be the six ministers if he goes further.

The fact that such exiled officials who were already extremely human ministers were arrested and brought to Beijing really surprised everyone.

……

The prison of Dali Temple.

Cui Renshi sat on the fence with a sarcasm, staring at Cui Xianshou who was facing the cell without saying a word.

And the penetrating look unconsciously revealed in his eyes, even Cui Xianshou, who has been "tested in the battlefield", was palpitated when he saw it.

"Brother, why do you look at the old man like this?

The old man was locked up and imprisoned because of his elder brother, why did his elder brother hold such a grudge against the old man? !

Could it be that someone is gossiping behind his back, causing the elder brother to misunderstand the old man? "

Cui Xianshou couldn't bear it first, and asked with a guilty face.

Cui Renshi showed a hint of mockery when he heard the words, and said in a low voice while grabbing the fence with both hands: "This old man just wants to see what the beast who betrayed me, Cui Shi, looks like.

Now it seems that it really looks like a beast with a human face and a wolf heart.

Cui Xianshou, you really put on a piece of human skin for nothing, but you don't know each other!

I don't know how you will face your ancestors and the Cui clan members who were killed by you when you come to Jiuquan in the future! ! ! "

"Ah……"

Cui Xianshou was startled when he heard the words, but felt a little relieved.

Since Cui Renshi already knew his identity, he naturally didn't need to go to great lengths to hide it.

And he had just walked all the way, so he was very curious why the prison cells nearby were empty.

Now that I think about it, it should be Prince Li Jing's deliberate arrangement, presumably there is something he wants to order.

"Ugh!"

Thinking of this, Cui Xianshou sighed and shook his head and said: "Brother, you should know that His Royal Highness is very capable.

If it wasn't for the younger brother who took refuge in time, his bones would have melted by now.

People don't kill heaven and earth for themselves, and my younger brother just wants to protect himself. "

"Self-protection!!!

You are really shameless! "

Cui Renshi gritted his teeth and stood up, cursing loudly, "Cui Xianshou!

For your life alone, my Cui clan paid tens of thousands of people!

For your own selfishness, my Qinghe Cui family's thousand-year achievements have been destroyed!

Based on this alone, even if you die with a thousand cuts, you will not be able to atone for the crime!

You just wait, the old man will wait for you underground in the future, and thousands of Cui clansmen will also be waiting for you under Jiuquan! ! ! "

"Hahaha~

What does Patriarch Cui want to wait for?

Waiting to be betrayed by Lao Cui again, or want to be killed by Ben Gong again? "

At this moment, an unforgettable voice came from Master Cui Ren.

A complex look flashed across Cui Xianshou's terrified face, and he hurriedly got up and said: "Minister, Cui Xianshou pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Don't be too polite, get up."

Li Jing waved his hand with a smile on his face.

Waiting for the guard behind him to open the cell door, he stepped forward with a smile and said: "Old Cui, I have gained a lot of weight after not seeing you for several months.

Thinking about it, no one dared to take care of him in Yangzhou, so he collected a lot of money. "

"Hey~

Thanks to His Highness's blessing, this minister has indeed earned more than [-] Guan. "

Cui Xianshou smiled, cupped his fists and said: "I know that His Highness likes gold, and earlier ordered someone to replace it with horseshoe gold and recast it into a gold statue.

A few days ago, I received a secret letter from His Royal Highness, and I asked my family members to take the golden statue one step ahead.

Thinking about it, in another three to five days, the Weichen family members will arrive in the capital. "

"it is good!

I already know that you, Old Cui, are a ruthless person.

Although it is useless for the overall situation to let you serve as the head of the Shibo Department, the golden house with the palace must have a lot of benefits.

If it weren't for your being too greedy, Bengong originally thought of letting you sit in the household department for a year or so, which would be considered a reward for your past achievements, old Cui. "

"Hahaha~

His Highness praised him absurdly, the humble minister was just following His Highness's orders.

Moreover, Weichen has self-knowledge, and it is his duty to seize merchants in Yangzhou and other places, but this official of the Ministry of Household Affairs is absolutely unable to do so. "

Cui Xianshou laughed out loud as if he was rude when he heard the words, but in an instant the distance between him and Li Jing was shortened.

Just looking at his proficient way of advancing and retreating while talking and laughing, one can know how much entertainment he has in Yangzhou City.

If nothing else happened, all the merchants in Yangzhou and even most of the merchants in Jiangnan now follow him secretly.

Even if he is arrested and taken to Beijing by Li Shimin's decree, a truly smart person will not disobey him.

"All right!

You don't have to brag about yourself here either.

I came here today just to tell you something, so please listen carefully. "

Li Jing smiled indifferently, but glanced at Master Cui Ren in a vague way.

Seeing this, Cui Xianshou did not dare to be negligent, and hastily bowed and said: "Your Highness, just give orders, and I will do my best to help His Highness!"

"Hehe~

You don't have to be nervous, this matter is just a trivial matter to you. "

Li Jing waved his hand and said seriously: "I promised Wang Gui and others yesterday to leave a glimmer of hope for the Cui clan in the capital.

Wang Kui will come to the prison to save people later, I think you should know what to do next, right? "

"what?!

Your Highness means...

This Wang Kui is also like a humble minister, is he a member of His Highness? "

Cui Xianshou was shocked suddenly, and Cui Renshi was also shocked.

If Wang Kui was really Li Jing's man, wouldn't the capital family have already been controlled by Li Jing strictly speaking?

What's more, once Wang Kui and Cui Xianshou take advantage of Li Jing's help to skyrocket, they may be able to follow his orders in the future.

If that time really came, wouldn't two of the five surnames and Qiwang fall into Li Jing's hands.

When Li Jing succeeds to the throne and assumes sole power, who in the world can restrain him.

And at that time, he will be the real Gangang arbitrariness, the supreme Ninth Five-Year Lord.

In the past dynasties, except for the first emperor, no one had such authority.
