Sui and Tang Dynasties: Beginning with Overlord Inheritance

Chapter 286 Subtle Influence

In a blink of an eye, a month passed quickly.

A lot happened during that time.

Li Yuan and others have been dragged to the vegetable market and questioned and executed in public.

Yang Zhao felt relieved.

During this period, he learned of Yang Zhao's thoughts, and Wei Zheng recommended Chu Suiliang again.

Yang Zhao didn't think too much, and arranged for a position as Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

It just so happened that Su Wei and others had caught the original Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and Yang Zhao was furious because of the ironclad evidence.

Immediately ordered the whole house to be ransacked.

It can be regarded as paving the way for Yang Zhao's plan.

Xu Maogong has been quite busy recently, and under Yang Zhao's order, he was looking for someone.

There is no special description, only that it is a woman.

He was curious, but he didn't dare to ask more questions.

It is right to assume that His Majesty wants to accept a concubine.

But why would you entrust this kind of thing to him?

Yang Zhao has been quite irritable from time to time in the past few days.

There is no other reason, according to Jin Yiwei's news.

Li Shimin's whereabouts have not been found out yet, and he feels something is wrong.

It seemed that there was a force secretly competing with him.

In the bedroom, Yang Zhao paced back and forth.

Jinyiwei is rewarded by the system, and the ability to spy on intelligence does not need to be questioned.

But it has been a month, and there is no news at all.

It seems that Li Shimin has evaporated in this world.

During this period, Shen Lian also guessed.

"Have you died in the mountains?"

Yang Zhao didn't believe it, he had an intuition that Li Shimin was not dead.

Even if he is dead, why can't he find the bones.

Even if it was eaten by wild animals, there are still bones, right?

No trace was found.

Can people really disappear out of thin air?

Obviously this is impossible.

Yang Zhao had a vague guess in his heart.

"Your Majesty, my subordinate Shen Lian seeks to see you."

At this moment, upon hearing Shen Lian's voice, Yang Zhao's eyes flashed.

"Enter."

Shen Lian in a flying fish suit walked into the hall, before he could speak, Yang Zhao hurriedly asked:

"But Li Shimin has news?"

Shen Lian was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head:

"Return to Your Majesty, Li Shimin has no news yet."

Yang Zhao nodded, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

He knew it wasn't a matter of Jin Yiwei's ability.

"what's up?"

"Your Majesty, the Youzhou refugees have been resettled properly, and the effect is better than expected."

"Among the Thirteen Continents of Youzhou, besides the refugees, there are also [-] people who migrated to the grasslands."

Yang Zhao was a little surprised when he got the news. The number of people indeed exceeded expectations.

"Any more?"

Yang Zhao continued to ask.

"Return to Your Majesty, the nobles who robbed Youzhou's resources have all been secretly monitored. This is the list."

Shen Lian handed over a list.

Yang Zhaozhan glanced roughly, and sneered:

"Hehe, what a gutsy dog!"

There are already more than [-] companies recorded on the list alone.

There are still some that have not been identified yet.

When he promulgated the official document, he clearly stipulated that all resources should be shared by the people.

The powerful nobles are not allowed to participate in it.

"Take my words as deaf ears, good, good, good."

"What a nobleman."

The anger in Yang Zhao's heart has reached its peak.

"Has the evidence been collected?"

"Return to Your Majesty, more than ten families have been collected, and the rest are still under investigation."

"Okay, is there anything else?"

"Gone."

"Go down."

After Shen Lian left, Yang Zhao immediately summoned Xu Maogong and others, and put the list on the table.

"What do you think?"

After everyone circulated it, they were all filled with anger.

"Your Majesty, let the minister chop off their heads with one knife!"

Li Cunxiao stood up and said angrily, waiting for Yang Zhao's order, he can leave.

"General Li must be impulsive. These aristocratic families are all connected, and they can't be solved by just killing them."

Xu Maogong frowned, he also felt very troubled.

"Then what should we do? Just let them be so rampant?"

Li Cunxiao refused to accept, but looked at Yang Zhao, but did not get a look of approval.

"Your Majesty, since we have conclusive evidence, why not arrest them all?"

Su Wei didn't understand, Yang Zhao must have collected evidence to come up with this list.

Pei Ju said thoughtfully:

"The evidence is insufficient for best results."

Wei Zheng nodded in agreement:

"That's right. Although these people are just local aristocrats, their network of connections extends in all directions. After they are captured, they will eventually be released."

Everyone knows these things.

They just robbed the resources, and at worst they returned all the resources, and then managed them up and down.

How will Yang Zhao be punished?

The death penalty is not enough.

The same is true for copying.

At that time, there will naturally be people in the court to intercede, and in the end, those aristocratic families will bleed some blood, and they will be locked up for a few months, and finally they will live in peace.

Yang Zhao didn't want such a result.

If he wants these people to disappear.

It's not as simple as letting some blood out.

After going out, the nature is hard to change, and it is the people and the court who will suffer.

In the past, Yang Zhao's thoughts were all on fighting, and he never noticed this.

It was only when I became the emperor that I realized that the interior of the imperial court had become like this.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhao was a little amused. After repelling the foreign enemies, he discovered that the biggest enemy was actually his own people.

"Your Majesty, I think that the most urgent thing is to find an excuse to let the nobles bleed and fill the treasury."

Wei Zheng thought far ahead, and now is obviously not the best time to deal with nobles.

These words brought Yang Zhao back to his senses.

Just now, he seemed to be emotionally unstable again.

It was that force again.

During this period of time, he thought for a long time, and he was basically sure that he wanted to restore history.

Subtly affect his emotions.

Hurry up to eradicate the nobles, and then cause the dissatisfaction of the family, and finally go to the end.

It just so happened that Li Shimin was not dead, so he could have imagined that the final outcome must be that Li Shimin attacked Chang'an and finally proclaimed himself emperor.

After regaining his composure, Yang Zhao shook his head:

"It's not enough, these alone are not enough."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, and Yang Zhaojian couldn't come up with any countermeasures.

Let a few people go back first, he also needs time to relax, during this time, he is always tense.

Turn to Li Ningxiu.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Seeing Yang Zhao, Li Ningxiu was very pleasantly surprised.

Since Yang Zhao came to the throne, they rarely met each other.

Although she knew that Yang Zhao was very busy and had no time, she couldn't bear to miss him.

"miss you."

Yang Zhao smiled, walked to Li Ningxiu's side, and hugged her gently.

"Your Majesty, are you tired?"

Li Ningxiu, who noticed something strange, immediately felt Yang Zhao's fatigue.

It's a mental fatigue.

Yang Zhao smiled and said nothing, there are some things that don't need to be said.

Furthermore, Li Ningxiu is now the queen, and there are many things to deal with, and she needs to be in charge of all the big and small things in the harem.

Yang Zhao came to relax, not to cause trouble.

"Tell me, what interesting things have happened in the palace recently?"
