Chapter 1753

In a series of luxurious residential buildings in Dongcheng District of Chang'an City, Zhang Yaoshen, now vice speaker of the Democratic House, sits in the main seat and greets several middle-aged and elderly guests with a smile.

Of course, those who can be personally entertained by Vice speaker Zhang can be counted in Datang.

For example, the old man on his left is Guo Yunguang, the current Minister of household, and the old man on his right is Senator Xu Jing from the Democratic House.

Don't think Xu Jing is an ordinary congressman. He is the leader of Jizhou chamber of Commerce. He has great fame and influence among all capitalists in Jizhou. Of course, the Xujia family in Jizhou is also one of the local tycoons.

If it is divided by province in later generations, Jizhou includes Hebei, Shanxi, Northern Henan and Liao Province in later generations. The region is not generally vast, and Liaoxi county is only a county under Jizhou.

Over the past hundred years, the northern state of Yue has invaded western Liaoning again and again to make war money. This is Jizhou territory.

The vast majority of the war money was run by Jizhou businessmen and swallowed profits.

Massive amounts of grain, military equipment and so on, flowing into the state of Yue from the Tang Dynasty, also operate from Jizhou. You can imagine how much energy president Xu, a congressman standing at the peak of Jizhou capitalists, has.

The entire Jizhou capital councillor followed Xu Jing. Even if he was just a councillor and did not hold an official position in the three provinces and six ministries, he could still sit opposite a Shangshu.

That is to say, Guo Yunguang was only one of the Democratic councillors and served as vice president of the Jiaozhou chamber of Commerce before he served as the Minister of household.

In the downward direction, most of the elderly or middle-aged, status, power and influence are only a little worse than Guo Yunguang and Xu Jing.

Vice speaker Zhang picked up the tea lamp and asked for tea. Then he smiled and said, "ladies and gentlemen, it won't be long before the news of the emperor falling into the water should be spread. When this is seriously ill, we should launch a proposal to give your majesty a headache."

Vice speaker Zhang, Guo Yunguang, Xu Jing and others are the main behind the manipulation of small eunuchs such as Ogawa and the regicide.

After decades of fighting with the old emperor, their achievements are not great. After all, the old emperor is an old and tough guy with superb wrist. Once he is seriously ill and waits to die, will Li Sheng, the new leader? Many big people here are confident to give Li Sheng a few tough moves and beat the other party into a dilemma.

For Li Gui, it is difficult to continue. If Li Gui falls into the water, as long as Li Sheng is not stupid, he will limit his own safety measures. It's hard to get another chance.

Their follow-up measures to deal with Li Sheng are, first, to hype up public opinion with the Confucian sense of heaven and man, that is, Li Shengde's lack of coordination led to a great disaster the day after he ascended the throne and blamed Li Gui. Li Gui fell into the water. It was God's Jing Zhao punishment and so on.

Next, support some princes with poor ability and great ambition to fight for unification.

Their goal has long been locked. That is Li Zhe, the ninth son of the old emperor Li Gui, who was granted the title of king of the Sui Dynasty.

Li Zhe is a standard novice who is fooled by some emerging Confucian theories. He thinks he is the holy king and is willing to rule the world with scholar bureaucrats and create a province for thousands of years. Yes, in the eyes of all big people, Li Zhe is a fool and a good fool.

He has ambition for the throne of the Tang Dynasty, but his ability is very poor. He has never experienced the crown prince's travel to the world and read the cultivation of real people's feelings. It really makes him superior. It's too easy to handle it.

"His Royal Highness Prince Sui has a certain conflict of gratitude and resentment with his majesty, and he is more dissatisfied with his majesty. With the support of many of our virtuous officials, you can definitely catch your majesty off guard."

"This is not enough. There needs to be greater unrest. In Binzhou, Yuzhou and other places, the chaos still needs to be chaotic. There are signs that the supreme emperor fell into the water and was seriously ill and his life and death are unknown. There are people's complaints and changes everywhere."

"In Chang'an, all officials return to the nine sages..."

"Your Majesty, if you want to survive this disaster, you must at least show enough sincerity, such as exemption from business tax? We don't want to push the king of Sui to ascend the great treasure, but we must set a small goal and take down the business tax."

…………

It is unrealistic for this group of big people to pursue not to turn the Tang royal family into history at once.

There are fools and rookies like Li Zhe, king of Sui Dynasty, in the royal family and millions of Li's clans, but there is no lack of elites. If an elite Prince borrows troops from a big business or Rome, even if he tries to smash the whole Tang Dynasty, he will have to ashes all his capital. That's funny.

No one can afford such consequences.

The most important purpose of the supreme Emperor Li Gui and the subsequent extortion of confessions by Li Sheng is business tax. Even if the business tax in the Tang Dynasty is not high, it is only 20 taxes and one, and they can't stand the old men who live here. They are distressed.

Every year, every family has a huge amount of wealth. It's too painful to pay a hundred million yuan and twenty taxes.

Of course, if Li Gui's life and death is unknown, Li Sheng is also in complete chaos. He can't stand all kinds of pressure and lose ground. If he can't stabilize the situation, those present don't mind driving him out of office and using military power to carry out a coup to push Li Zhe up.

Whether this can be achieved depends on whether the 30000 forbidden army led by Li Sheng can fight.

Li Zhero's 30000 imperial guards loyal to the royal family also collapsed? Then the whole Datang will become a paradise for capital upstarts.

Li Shi, just be a mascot.

After a sentence of laughter, a congressman suddenly said with a little surprise, "by the way, I heard that there seems to be some funny news in Yangzhou recently, saying that a peasant sage has mastered inhuman power."

"Is this thing true or false, or is it falsely spread? It is exaggerated too strangely?"

This time, the upstarts' means were not caused by coveting Li Gui's cultivation resources. After Li Gui got the cultivation starting package, he was too low-key. No one outside knew except Li Sheng. No one knew about all his concubines and close eunuchs.

Cultivation? Everything is in the storage ring. As long as Li Gui finds a quiet room and orders outsiders not to enter without his summons, it's like a dead house to hide and practice.

No matter how curious and suspicious they are, why did Li Gui meditate when he was under the age of 50? They can't get close contact and peep, so they don't know those.

They launched such a move more than ten days after Li Guigang became a supreme emperor. After Li Guigang moved out of the Daming Palace, the guard strength around him decreased significantly.

The Daming Palace, where the emperor lived, is the most heavily guarded and safest place. Now it belongs to Li Sheng. The strength of Li Gui's guard is too weak. Even most of the close eunuchs around him are still sent by the new emperor in the Daming Palace. They have most space to operate.

All the big people in the past didn't want Li Gui to fall into the water, they didn't have a chance!
