Chapter 156 A coup, the expropriation of the mansion
Inside the Tai Chi Hall.
He saw Li Er, the guard he sent to Zhaojiazhuang, and asked!
"What happened in Zhaojiazhuang? Yue'er sent you here. What's the matter?"
The guard told what happened today.
Hearing what the guard said, Li Er's face instantly turned black!
Speaking of my good brother, why doesn’t he follow the routine?
Isn’t he known as a salted fish? Isn’t he known as not leaving Zhaojiazhuang even half a step?
Why are you so free today and thinking about coming to Li Mansion when you want to come to Chang'an City?
Li Er nodded secretly, this matter is indeed not a trivial matter, even though he is the shopkeeper Li.
But in Chang'an City, how can you have your own family business?
If they come tomorrow and find out that there is no such thing as the Li Mansion, won't everything have to be exposed by then?
The most urgent task is to solve tomorrow's problems.
But this incident also reminded him that when acting, he must do it all, and he can't only do half of it.
It was because I had only done half of this matter that people wanted to come to Chang'an City to see me, and I was still in such a hurry.
"Biography of Zhao Guogong."
"It's Your Majesty."
In Zhao Guogong's residence, Zhangsun Wuji, who was about to fall asleep, received news from the palace that his majesty had let him enter the palace. He also looked at a loss.
I didn't know what His Majesty was going to do, but after hearing His Majesty's instructions, I hurried to the palace.
I met His Majesty in Tai Chi Hall.
I heard His Majesty finish the matter.
"Your Majesty, since Mr. Zhao and others are coming to Chang'an City tomorrow, they also want to stay in my Li Mansion.
The top priority is for us to build a Li Mansion in Chang'an City."
Get a Li Mansion?
"Yes, Your Majesty, in this way, wait until Mr. Zhao and his party arrive at Chang'an City.
We can deal with it calmly, and at the same time, we can also leave the Li family behind and arrange more manpower. If Mr. Zhao comes to Chang'an City again in the future, we can face it calmly."
"Not bad."
Li Er nodded secretly, this method is still possible.
"Your Majesty, there are many courtyard roads in Chang'an City, but Your Majesty is a grain merchant in Chang'an City.
It would not be justified if the living conditions were too shabby, and those large courtyards need to be tidied up and moved in before there are traces of life.
Even if Wei Chen goes to make arrangements tonight, I'm afraid it will be too late by tomorrow afternoon.
Therefore, Wei Chen suggested that we choose a merchant's mansion in Chang'an and I would buy it from the court.
Weichen worked overnight to build and install the plaque.
In this way, His Majesty's house also exists, and the smell of fireworks also exists.
Everything is ready and just wait quietly for Mr. Zhao’s arrival tomorrow!”
At the beginning, Changsun Wuji's plan was to expropriate the mansions of these princes and ministers.
It is really not possible to directly occupy the houses of those Li clansmen. If my own house is directly requisitioned, I am willing.
It's just that they are an official's house. Even if all the personnel are removed, the smell of official family cannot be removed from the mansion.
Just kill this businessman from Chang'an City!
"When auxiliary machines are requisitioned, they must be compensated."
"It's Your Majesty."
That night, Changsun Wuji and his Jinwu Guards began to move out, left the palace, and rushed towards the place where the merchants lived in Chang'an City.
Throughout Chang'an City, the court knew the personal information of these merchants.
I chose a businessman who dealt in grain in the Tang Dynasty and knocked on the door gently.
The servant of the merchant's house opened the door, thinking in his mind, now that Chang'an City has a curfew, who is this, dares to take the courage of an ambitious leopard, and dare to come to their house?
When I opened the door and took a look outside, I was so frightened that I collapsed on the ground.
I saw officers and soldiers outside their mansion, and everyone looked murderous.
Under the leadership of an adult, they gathered in front of their mansion.
The servant was so frightened that he rolled over and rushed in quickly.
I am just a servant. I have never interacted with officers and soldiers, and my mind goes blank. I can no longer care whether I am rude or not.
He hurried in, running and shouting.
"Master, master, something is not right, something is not right, something serious is going to happen."
The door was opened, and Changsun Wuji walked into the courtyard and stood in the center of the courtyard.
After a while, a few people walked out. When they saw the officers and soldiers, the businessman was also stunned, and quickly stepped forward to salute.
"I have met you sirs.
These servants of the grass-roots people are ignorant and have offended the Lord. Please forgive me.
I just don’t know if you have anything to do when you come to my house today?
Whenever a villain can be used, he will go through fire and water, no matter what!"
As he spoke, he was very confused in his heart.
It is said that although they are businessmen, they pay taxes on time and have never done anything that violates the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
If that's the case, what are they doing in the mansion?
"I am told by His Majesty the Tang Dynasty that your mansion will be requisitioned by the Holy Emperor.
I order you to pack up your belongings and leave this mansion overnight, and everyone in your house must leave."
"Although this gentleman is a businessman, he abides by the laws of the Tang Dynasty and has never violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
Don’t you know this sir?”
Those who are doing business have long known that being a businessman can make a lot of money, but the risks are also high.
They are just like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Someone might catch you one day and make you lose your blood, so when you are doing business, you must work diligently and not let anyone catch you.
Who knew that today, even if I didn't make any mistakes, this knife would come through.
"It's your honor to have your house requisitioned by Your Majesty, come on!"
"grown ups!"
Changsun Wuji took a token from the guard at the side and threw it to the businessman.
The businessman took the token in his hand and was at a loss!
"Your Majesty is a benevolent and righteous king. Since he wants to requisition your house, he will not do it in vain.
This is the token of my eldest grandson's family. With this token, if you encounter something that cannot be solved in Chang'an City in the future.
You can use this token to come to my residence, Duke Zhao, and I will solve it for you.
But you have to remember, this token can only be used once!"
Duke Zhao?
The person in front of me is actually Duke Zhao?
Who knows the identity of Duke Zhao in the entire Chang'an City?
Your Majesty's current queen is the biological sister of his Duke Zhao, and he is a relative of the emperor.
I have been in business for many years, but I never imagined that I would be able to reach such a big official position.
It's just my own mansion, I'll give it to you if you give it, but this token is not comparable to the entire mansion.
Fortunately, there is also their family's property in another part of Chang'an City. Although the house is much smaller than the house here, it is still enough for them to live.
"Thank you, Lord Changsun. Thank you, Lord Changsun. I will send someone to move it now."
An order was issued requiring all the people in the house to pack their bags and leave overnight to go to another house.
