Cui Yuantang really didn't want to think about what he read in the newspaper just now, he was afraid that he would vomit blood directly.
Everyone took the newspaper and read it.
"Cui Yu and Cui Yuan of the Cui family of Qinghe committed disgraceful things to their female relatives in broad daylight on the streets of Yangzhou!"
"I was stopped by a few chivalrous men who saw injustice, and gave them a severe lesson."
"But due to being too angry, the shot was accidentally too heavy, resulting in the death of Cui Yu and Cui Yuan and the injury of the other."
"The shameless behavior of Cui Yu and Cui Yuan caused countless people in Yangzhou to cast aside and despise them, and they expressed their support for the chivalrous men who acted out of righteousness, and gathered in the Yangzhou Yamen to ask for their innocence!"
"His Royal Highness Wu Wang deeply felt the righteousness. He not only pardoned them, but also personally awarded them the Medal of Justice and Bravery, commending their acts of righteousness, and calling them Yangzhou Heroes 050!"
"It also means that the Qinghe Cui family can cultivate scum like Cui Yu and Cui Yuan, which shows that there is something wrong with the Qinghe Cui family's internal education. Cui Yu and Cui Yuan may just be peeking at the leopard!"
"The people in Yangzhou and Suzhou think that the Qinghe Cui family may have already become a rotten nest, otherwise they would not dare to do such a shameless and bold thing in Yangzhou under the rule of His Royal Highness King Wu!"
After watching it, all the members of the Cui clan were furious!
"Writing nonsense! It's completely nonsense. How could people from the Cui family do such a thing?"
"This is slander, absolute slander, Li Ke is too much!"
"Not only did the perpetrators not be severely punished, but they were also awarded honors and called Yangzhou heroes? I am so angry!"
"This is deliberately disgusting our Qinghe Cui family, we must not just swallow this breath!"
"This is tarnishing my Qinghe Cui family's reputation for hundreds of years!"
Everyone in the room was furious, and the contents of the newspaper directly broke their defenses.
What do they care most about such aristocratic families?
Fame, face!
But this newspaper directly trampled on the ground their reputation and reputation accumulated over the years.
Especially some of the content inside, they are so angry that they want to vomit blood.
How could Cui Yu and Cui Yuan do shameless things to their female relatives in broad daylight on the streets of Yangzhou?
This is obviously a slander to their Qinghe Cui family.
First, the reputations of Cui Yu and Cui Yuan will be discredited, and then they will be beaten violently, one dead and the other injured.
The most disgusting thing is that not only did Li Ke not punish the perpetrators, but he also specially awarded them the Medal of Justice and Bravery, calling them Yangzhou Heroes!
Isn't this intentionally disgusting what are they?
The person who killed your Cui family will not only not be punished, but also become a well-known hero in Yangzhou.
And you Cui family members are scum and scum who have done disgusting things in broad daylight!
Moreover, because of the relationship between Cui Yu and Cui Yuan, everyone thought that the entire Qinghe Cui clan was full of such scum, which undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to the Qinghe Cui clan's reputation.
The person who said before that the Cui family was in a major crisis was really not alarmist.
"This matter must be dealt with seriously, otherwise the Qinghe Cui family's centuries-old reputation will be ruined!"
Cui Yuantang finally recovered a bit, and said decisively immediately.
The others nodded in agreement.
The big gift that Li Ke gave them this time really disgusted them.
Now when they thought that the murderer who killed their Cui family was a hero praised by everyone in Yangzhou, they felt as uncomfortable as eating shit!
But suffering is suffering, this should be put aside first.
They wanted to come up with a countermeasure against Li Ke. Since Li Ke made a move, of course they had to fight back.
"Patriarch, do you want to send someone over to assassinate Li Ke?"
At this time, someone suddenly made a suggestion.
"Stupid, I've already used it once, how can I use it a second time?"
"Do you think Li Ke is still unprepared? Besides, there are not only him alone in Yangzhou, but also three other princes. If something happens, all five surnames and seven princes will be ruined!"
Hearing this, Cui Yuantang immediately glared at the man angrily, and couldn't help scolding.
This method focuses on surprises, one in the light and the other in the dark.
The first time before was because Li Ke never thought that their Qinghe Cui family would assassinate him, so they almost succeeded.
But now that Li Ke knew that the Qinghe Cui family had sent someone to assassinate him, the guards around Li Ke must be very strong.
If you go to assassinate again, you will really die.
After all, you can assassinate, can't Li Ke?
Li Ke really got anxious, what should I do if I directly recruit some elites from the Shenji Battalion to assassinate them?
Moreover, now Qi Wang Li You, Shu King Li Min, and Jin Wang Li Zhi are all in Yangzhou City.
Once there is an accident in the assassination, if all four princes have accidents in Yangzhou City.
Don't think about it, Li Shimin will definitely send troops to wipe out all the five surnames and seven Wangs directly, from old to young, not a single life will be spared.
This is beyond doubt.
"Then start with the extraordinary things Li Ke did in Yangzhou and Suzhou."
"Without the permission of His Majesty and the imperial court, he collected commercial taxes in Yangzhou and Suzhou privately, and promised merchants that their children could take the imperial examination."
"This matter can definitely be a reference to him. As long as we work hard and join forces with the prince, he will definitely make him pay the price!"
Immediately, someone calmed down a bit and began to offer advice.
Hearing this, Cui Yuantang nodded in agreement, and he also thought it was a good idea.
Li Ke has indeed done too many extraordinary things in Yangzhou and Suzhou.
Although he is the governor of Yangzhou, he is also under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty and must follow the rules of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ke looked like a country within a country in Yangzhou and Suzhou, which is undoubtedly a taboo.
"This works."
Others also nodded, thinking that this method is okay.
"Patriarch, all clan uncles, I'm afraid this method won't work."
At this time, Cui Yuan who was lying on the hospital bed said very weakly.
"Huh? Why not?"
Everyone looked at Cui Yuan in puzzlement.
Especially the person who made this suggestion just now, when he saw Cui Yuan, a junior, refuted him, he immediately showed displeasure.
"Uncle Cuiyu also said about this, but King Wu took out a tax report, which is the tax collection data of Yangzhou and Suzhou last month."
"Last month was less than a full month, but the two places collected a total of 1.8 guan in commercial taxes. If the entire month is bound to exceed 2 guan."
"Your Majesty and the imperial court will never give up this business tax, so the matter of merchants' children participating in the imperial examination is probably a certainty."
After Cui Yuan said so many words in one breath, he couldn't help coughing a few times.
"what?"
"In less than a full month, 1.8 yuan in commercial taxes will be charged in the two places alone?"
Hearing this commercial tax figure, everyone in the room was shocked!
If calculated according to this, then only Yangzhou and Suzhou have a business tax of more than 20 per year?
If the commercial tax was implemented throughout the Tang Dynasty, how much tax would it provide to the court?
Don't even think about it, it must be a huge number.
In this case, as Cui Yuan said, the imperial court will definitely not let go of this wealth.
In other words, Li Ke could indeed get the court to allow the children of merchants to take the imperial examination.
"Then what about his arrogance in Yangzhou and Suzhou by allowing merchants to wear silk and ride in carriages?"
"The court hasn't agreed yet, has it? He has already let merchants start using it."
The man came up with another idea, still following the same path as Cui Yu.
"This uncle of the Cuiyu clan also said it, but King Wu has an imperial edict from His Majesty, and His Majesty trusts him very much, allowing him to carry out reform experiments in Yangzhou and Suzhou at will, and has very great power."
At this time, Cui Yuan said weakly again.
Hearing this, the man's face turned even darker.
And Cui Yuantang and others were also stunned.
Li Shimin actually gave Li Ke an imperial edict in advance!
Moreover, the authority given to Li Ke in the imperial decree is too great and too free!
No wonder Li Ke dared to act so boldly in Yangzhou and Suzhou. It turned out that everything was backed by Li Shimin!
"Tell me, how to deal with this matter?"
Cui Yuantang took a deep breath, he couldn't find any way to fight back against Li Ke for a while.
Cui Yu and Cui Yuan were not killed in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the accident happened after they walked out of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion safe and sound.
So they have no evidence at all to prove that this matter was done by Li Ke, and they have no way to start from this.
Li Ke's commercial taxation was a great success, and the road from the imperial examination qualifications of the merchant's children was also blocked.
Li Shimin's imperial decree protected Li Ke's outrageous behavior in Yangzhou and Suzhou.
Assassination is not enough, and if you send people to peace talks, I am afraid that they will die one by one.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the whole room became silent.
Everyone was frowning, and they couldn't think of any good way to fight back against Li Ke.
"He is too impeccable in doing things, there are backhands for everything, and he doesn't leave any excuses!"
Cui Yuantang couldn't help sighing, his tone was full of helplessness and fear of Li Ke.
So young, so rigorous in doing things, and good at calculating.
He has outstanding abilities, and Li Shimin still trusts him very much, and he is very likely to ascend the throne in the future.
But their Qinghe Cui family sent someone to assassinate Li Ke.
Thinking of this, Cui Yuantang felt his heart twitch, and regretted why he sent someone to assassinate Li Ke on impulse?
"Patriarch, elders, I have something to say."
At this time, the person who delivered the newspaper hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't help but say something.
"what's up?"
Cui Yuantang looked at him immediately, and ignored him after receiving the newspaper just now.
"The crisis I was talking about before is not this."
He had a weird expression on his face, but he still said it.
"What crisis is there?"
Cui Yuantang was slightly taken aback, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart again.
"Now this newspaper is spreading around the family, and there are tens of thousands of copies of the newspaper, all of which are given away for free."
"The people around Qinghe probably all know about this."
He told Qinghe Cui's real crisis.
Hearing this, Cui Yuantang couldn't hold back any longer, and his blood pressure rose instantly.
Then the whole person passed out directly!
