Chapter 20: The Man Behind the Scenes Appears (First Update, Asking for Support)


Chapter 20 Behind the Scenes (First Update, Asking for Support) In Chang'an City, in a large mansion near the Chunming Gate, a group of mysterious people are gathering together, all of them sitting below, looking at a middle-aged man in his thirties with reverence on his face.

"Yang Tong, what are you doing?"

The middle-aged man's face was not very good-looking, and he looked at the first literati in the lower left: "I told you, we only need to tease Li Shimin and the people of Chang'an a little, and if we don't ask for persecution, they will recall Li Zhen immediately and ask right, just let them leave a thorn in their hearts - who asked you to mention Li Zhen's rebellion?"

” The scribe smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, your subordinates have been wronged, I didn't do this." ” "Huh?

What do you mean?

” Yang Tong's face was bitter: "The subordinates did follow His Highness's intentions, but they just teased Li Shimin a little in the newspaper......

The latter ones weren't sent by us at all. ” "You mean, Wei Zheng did it?"

The middle-aged man is not stupid, and when he saw the scribe denying it, he immediately realized Wei Zheng's plan: "Stop the rumors with rumors, Wei Zheng's move is really powerful, and we lost this game." ” "Then, Your Highness, aren't we going to fight back?"

Someone asked unwillingly.

"Fight back?

When did I say I was going to fight back?

The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "Now the Tang Dynasty is only afraid that we will fight back, because as long as we fight back, we will definitely show our feet, and once we show our feet, what awaits us is the full counterattack of the Tang Dynasty." ” "Could it be that we just let Li Zhen escape this catastrophe?"

"Or else?"

The middle-aged man said helplessly: "Although our current power seems huge, there is still a long way to go before we overthrow Datang."

Although the Li family has only been in charge of the world for more than 20 years, I have to admit that in the past 20 years, the Li family has done a really good job......

Even if we were to do this, we might not be able to get any better than them, we must admit this.

If the hearts of the people are returned to Tang today, it is not an overnight thing to overthrow them, just to block the Li family, and to go against them can only scratch the Li family, it will only make them disgusting, and it will not make them break their muscles and bones.

If we want to overthrow Lee's rule, we must be prepared for a protracted war, there is no doubt about that. ” "It's really cheap Li Zhen."

The man hated and hated, and seemed a little unwilling.

Yang Tong asked, "Your Highness, what are you going to do next?"

” "I'm going to go to Lingnan in person."

The middle-aged man smiled, saw that everyone was puzzled, and explained with a smile: "Isn't it always rumored that Li Zhen is the god of wealth, and wherever he goes, he will be developed?"

Now that Lingnan is his territory, I believe that whether it is for the development of his own power, or to protect the name of this God of Wealth, or for his own ideals, Li Zhen will do a great job in Lingnan - and this is our opportunity.

Because doing a big job means that there will be many, many opportunities, and now many dignitaries and wealthy families in Datang have followed in Li Zhen's footsteps, and we can't lag behind for too long - since the wealthy families can follow Li Zhen to drink soup, then why can't we?

Although we have received our grandfather's treasure, our money is still too small compared to the great project of restoring the country.

I am going to go to Lingnan to inspect it myself, and if it is feasible, I am also going to form a fleet and follow in the footsteps of Li Zhen to do business, on the one hand, to make money, and on the other hand, to see if I can find an opportunity to break into Li Zhen's interior. ” Speaking of this, the middle-aged man saw that everyone was a little depressed, and knew that his big truth might have hit everyone's confidence, so he hurriedly said: "Why are you all like this?"

What's wrong with a little bit more time?

As long as we persist, we will succeed after all, and the Li family's country will be ours after all.

What's more, our actions this time are not without gain, at least, in the hearts of the people, we have already pricked Li Zhen with a thorn. ” Listening to the meaning of this middle-aged man, he is the grandson of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, but I don't know which branch he is, but no matter which one it is, their purpose is the same, that is, to overthrow the Tang Dynasty and rebuild the Sui Dynasty.

"Your Highness is wise, it's your subordinates who think too much."

Everyone's complexion is a little better.

At this time, the people have also been panicked because of the news of Li Zhen's rebellion, this is a major matter related to their own bodies after all, if the court does not deal with it properly, maybe it will be another big war, not long after this news came out, the prices in Chang'an City have quietly risen a notch - especially food and other materials related to people's livelihood, the price has more than doubled.

It was at this time that many newspapers such as "Datang Daily" stood up to refute the rumors.

"His Royal Highness King Yue has just returned from Nanyang for less than a month, and the troops are still in Nanyang, he didn't bring a single soldier when he came back, where did the troops rebel?"

"Don't be deceived, the newspaper you saw before is just a conspiracy of some people with ulterior motives, while smearing His Royal Highness King Yue, it is also sabotaging Chang'an City."

"All this is a rumor, His Royal Highness the King of Yue has never issued a so-called edict, let alone raised an army to rebel." “……” After the explanations of various court newspapers, the people finally understood that everything was done by the enemies of the Tang Dynasty, and His Royal Highness King Yue had not done anything at all.

But as the middle-aged man said, this incident left a thorn in the hearts of the people after all - yes, this rebellion of King Yue is indeed a rumor.

But the king of Yue has so many territories and holds a lot of power, what if he really rebels one day?

You must know that he has the entire Lingnan and Nanyang as the backing behind him, if it really develops, the war potential is very great, and it is very likely that it will fight with the imperial court to a one-to-one draw, and a protracted war will definitely lead to the misery of life and the people's misery.

As a result, some strange voices gradually appeared among the people.

"People's hearts are unpredictable, who knows if the rumors this time will become true next time?"

"It's better to let King Yue return to Chang'an, anyway, there is no one to fight for the crown prince anymore, why do you have to be outside?"

"There is such a big thing in Chang'an City, King Yue should have defended himself, but now there is no news at all, which shows that he may not have the idea of rebellion in his heart." “……” Of course, most of this kind of public opinion is secretly promoted by people with intentions, but I have to say that this has indeed aroused the worries of some people - after all, if you don't shoot 10,000, you are afraid of what if, what if King Yue really swells?
