No matter how the eldest grandson Wuji objected, Li Shimin finally persistently revealed the policy of the official gentry paying grain in one piece, causing an uproar in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Families, scholars, nobles, countless people gathered together to discuss, discuss, some objected to this, and some expressed support for it, one debate after another in the court argued, Wenchen and military generals appeared on the stage, making a good court like a vegetable market.

And in the midst of such controversy, the time of one month passed in a flash, and the one-month period set by Li Chengqian finally arrived.

Li Xiaogong, the representative of the head of the Li family in Longxi, Li Xi, the head of the Li family in Zhaojun, Wang Jing, the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan, Zheng Qing, the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, Lu Muyuan, the head of the Lu family in Fanyang, Cui Fang, the head of the Cui family in Boling, and Cui Jia, the head of the Cui family in Qinghe, gathered in Xianyang to go to Li Chengqian's appointment in the name of paying tribute to the old Li Yuan.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" When the appointed time came, several heads of the family came to the door and met Li Chengqian first.

"Boy Chengqian has seen a few gentlemen!" Li Chengqian also lowered his posture, did not wear a particularly formal crown dress, and stood in front of the Chinese army's tent borrowed from the old man in the face of a scholar, standing solemnly and greeting.

No matter what is going to be talked about in the future, some necessary etiquette should still be done at this time. After all, ancient times are not like modern times, in this era, the most important word is "li", if there is no "li", it is the same as the credit value of modern people is negative, and it is difficult to move an inch in society.

After the greetings, Li Chengqian took the lead and led everyone into the big tent, and the atmosphere of a literati gathering was in sight, and a set of kung fu tea was already on fire under Yang Yuxin's fiddling.

"Sir, please take a seat!" Li Chengqian stepped into the main seat, motioned for everyone to take a seat, and said with a smile after everyone was ready: "The place is simple, and I hope that you Haihan will be in the place where the hospitality is not good!" ”

Several old guys from the family owed a few polite words, and then the old man of the Lu family spoke: "A few days ago, the old man heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had completed the "Red Cliff Nostalgia", and he was ashamed to read it! ”

"Mr. Lu is polite, a game for a while, I don't deserve to be praised by the old gentleman like this, the kid is ashamed." The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and in the face of the appreciation of the old man of the Lu family, Li Chengqian was humble and polite.

After all, these old guys are not ordinary people, aside from the throne, just talking about cultural heritage, and other idlers may not be able to get such an evaluation from them, even if they are princes, so Li Chengqian is not ashamed to be humble.

"Humanity since ancient times heroes out of the youth, and the Yangtze River back waves push the front waves, today when I see His Royal Highness the Prince, it is really the dragon and phoenix among the people, the head and horns of the generation, my generation...... Old! The head of the Cui family in Qinghe took over Li Chengqian's words, although he also had a sense of praise, but no matter how he listened to it, it seemed that there was something in his words.

"Boy, don't be modest there, what the hell is going on with us this time, you can tell us directly!" Li Xiaogong was afraid that Li Chengqian would not be able to suppress his temperament and stand up to the head of the Cui family in Qinghe, so he put on the shelf of his uncle at the critical moment and urged him aggressively.

Shameless old goods, Sven sweeps the floor!

A group of family heads sat together, and Li Xiaogong, the representative of the head of the family, was the only one that made them dissatisfied, and Li Xiaogong's posturing posture immediately caused their dissatisfaction, and they all looked sideways.

However, Li Xiaogong still looked like a bear as if he didn't see it, and secretly complained in his heart that these old guys didn't know the hearts of good people.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know if this time we have been summoned to the gathering for the sake of the squire?" Wang Jing, the head of the Wang family, interjected before Li Chengqian could speak, and there was a questioning tone in his tone.

However, Li Chengqian didn't plan to play any hard-fought games with these old men this time, but he was also a person in his thirties with a mental age, and he had long passed the age of getting caught on fire.

He just smiled incomprehensibly at the old man's provocation, and at the same time sighed in his heart that there is really no impermeable wall in the world, and it was clear that the old man had already taken over the matter of the official gentry's integrated payment, but these old men still knew that they were the initiators.

"What? Does Your Highness have any other thoughts? Zheng Qing, the head of the Zheng family, who had a close relationship with the Wang family, saw that Li Chengqian did not react, and couldn't help but cooperate with the old man of the Wang family to put pressure on him.

At this time, Li Chengqian felt that the time was almost up, and if he continued to be silent, he was afraid that these old men would think that he was afraid of them, and it would not be good if there were any other changes at that time.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian coughed lightly, picked up the tea handed by Yang Yuxin and invited everyone to drink it together, and then said slowly: "The official gentry pay food in one piece, this is the national policy of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not for the palace to call the shots, so this matter is not the main topic today." ”

Not the main topic of the day? The old fellows looked at each other, and they all saw doubts in each other's eyes.

Now only the matter of the official gentry paying grain in one piece has been hotly speculated, and it has only been revealed after Li Chengqian proposed the January period, if this is not the main issue, then what is the main issue?

Confused, Cui Fang, the head of the Boling Cui family, asked tentatively, "So what is the purpose of His Highness coming to us this time?" I don't know how to teach? ”

Originally, these old guys had already discussed the idea of 'the officials and gentry receiving food in one piece,' but now Li Chengqian suddenly said that today's matter had nothing to do with this policy, which caught them a little off guard and made them a little overwhelmed in dealing with it, for fear that there would be some problems with their cooperation.

"Goguryeo has almost been wiped out, and only its capital puppet Chang'an is still in its hands, what do several old gentlemen think about this matter? In other words, what do the old gentlemen think about Liaodong? Li Chengqian didn't let the old guys wait too long this time, and soon revealed the mystery.

Liaodong?! Several masters looked at each other, and they all saw greed in each other's eyes, but they soon reacted that this advantage was not so easy to take advantage of.

Li Chengqian's kid is a typical 'eyes will be rewarded' plus 'don't see the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle', how can it be so simple to give up the benefits in hand, if that's the case, the old people would rather believe that the pig in this world will be a tree.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, do you mean that the land and resources of Liaodong will be taken out this time?" Wang Jing, the head of the Wang family, couldn't restrain the little excitement in his heart, and was the first to ask.

Since Li Chengqian brought Liaodong out to talk about things, the things that need to be discussed today are likely to be related to Liaodong, and the most important things in Liaodong are naturally resources and land, and these two things are also what the family cares about.
