Li Shimin didn't speak, and the scene was a little awkward for a while.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin finally put down his teacup, and said, "Patriarchs among the five surnames, it's not me who refuses to return those mining industries to you, but that the national treasury has been emptied seriously recently, and the income cannot make up for it at all. Expenditures from the national treasury! You also know that on my shoulders, the lives of the people of the whole country are borne, so wait, let’s wait for a while to talk about this matter!”

"Then, how long do you have to wait, Your Majesty?"

Cui Yansong asked.

Li Shimin said: "Then we have to see when my treasury will return to its previous full state! If the treasury has been in a state of loss, then these mines may not be able to pay back!"

"Huh? This..."

Li Shimin didn't say to pay it back, nor did he say he wouldn't pay it back.

Instead, I played Tai Chi with them and said, I will pay it back, and when my treasury is filled with money, I will pay it back to you.

But when the treasury has money, only Li Shimin himself knows.

So, as long as Li Shimin said that the national treasury has been losing money, Li Shimin can never pay it back?

These families with five surnames dare not speak out.

They were angry in their hearts, but on the surface they were still extremely wronged.

"Your Majesty, this is the property left by our ancestors! If I lose to Cui Yansong, then I, Cui Yansong, will be the sinner of Qinghe Cui Clan! I have nothing to say to my ancestor Yandi Spirit Card, Your Majesty!"

Finally, Cui Yansong started to use his big move, mentioning the ancestors, raising the blood.

You, Li Shimin, don't need to give me Cui Yansong face, but you must give ancient emperor Yandi some face, right?

Those industries are all the lands and mountains that Emperor Yan laid down in the past, and they were left to Cui Yansong and his descendants. If you say no, you will not pay them back? How can you let the ancient emperor Yandi feel so embarrassing?

Li Shimin said leisurely: "Mr. Cui, I am not saying that I will not pay back, but the world is still in the stage of disaster. A few days ago, a large number of refugees from Liangzhou City ran to the foot of Chang'an City to make trouble! So, I have no money now! The mines and pastures you provided to me are just barely maintaining the operation of the Datang treasury!"

"But your majesty, why do you want to return those properties?" Wang Shanyuan also asked.

Li Shimin took a sip of tea and said, "I said, when the people's sentiments are stable and my treasury is full, I will naturally return it!"

"Then what if Tang Dynasty has always been a year of natural disasters?"

Cui Kai suddenly interjected.

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows immediately, glared at Cui Kai angrily, and shouted: "You bastard, did you say that? Are you cursing the Tang Dynasty, natural disasters every year? Drought this year, flood next year? It's really unreasonable!"

"Your majesty calm down, it's the kid Cui Kai who can't speak, please don't take it to your heart!"

Cui Yansong hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you take a look and return some of our mining industry first, and leave the rest with you first, is that okay?"

"No, I tell you that there is no need to discuss this matter! In the year of natural disasters, I emptied the national treasury to subsidize the refugees, but what about you? I just borrowed your family's property, and you Are you all dying? Don’t tell me, as descendants of Yan and Huang, shouldn’t you do your best to help some of your fellow brothers?”

"Hmph, so from now on, you don't want to bring up the matter of returning the mine in front of me! I have said that when the time comes, I will return it naturally. If the century is not here, no one of you can take it away. Humph!"

Li Shimin was really angry this time.

Don't give them a little bit of power, do they really think that the emperor is easy to bully?

The whole world belongs to me, Li Shimin.

So what if you want some mines?

If it wasn't for Li Shimin's fear that the combined power of the five surname families would be too great, he would even have thought of eradicating the five surname families one by one.

Because, to Li Shimin, their existence is like five explosive orders from time to time.

As long as they conspire together to rebel, even Li Shimin himself will find it difficult to resist.

Moreover, the treasury has suffered serious losses recently, and it has been unable to make ends meet.

If Li Shimin doesn't take this opportunity to weaken the power of the five surname families, after that, the royal family will fall? Doesn't the world belong to their family with five surnames?

Li Shimin is also an old fox after careful calculation.

As for the four old foxes who wanted to fight Li Shimin, they were still a little young.

…

"Oh, that's all! Your Majesty, as long as you are happy!"

Cui Yansong sighed heavily, and took a sip of the tea in front of him.

It's just that this fragrant tea tastes extremely bitter at the moment.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Shimin said, "Everyone, is there anything else you want to say? If you have anything, please bring it up. If not, I won't be with you anymore! There are still many things , wait for me to deal with it!"

"Alright, Your Majesty, then you can go and do your work first. We will go back after visiting Chang'an City for a while!"

Cui Yansong said.

Li Shimin said: "Well, I will not accompany you if you eat and drink well!"

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin shook his sleeves and left, leaving the heads of the five surname families looking at each other.

Li Chengfeng grinned and said: "Then I won't accompany you! Bye bye, I have some things to deal with when I go back now! Oh, by the way, there is also Patriarch Cui, you owe me 10,000 gold, remember to give it to me. Come to my house? Otherwise, I will catch a cold and have a fever tomorrow, and your son Cui Kai will take full responsibility!"

"Alright Eighth Prince, wait a moment, I'll send someone to the pawnshop to get the money right away? Is that okay?"

"Well, okay, then I won't accompany you!"

Li Chengfeng smiled, and then slowly left the Royal Garden.

Li Lizhi followed behind Li Chengfeng with cheerful steps.

The remaining four Patriarchs were left, looking at each other in blank dismay.

…

After Li Shimin left~lightnovelpub.net~the originally flattering expressions on their faces became very serious at the moment.

Especially Cui Yansong, he clenched his fists tightly, and his face actually looked a bit sinister?

"It seems that the emperor does not intend to return the property of our family with five surnames!"

Cui Yansong spoke lightly.

"No, father, didn't the emperor just say that in the future, when the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the treasury is full, he will return all those mines and pastures to us?"

Cui Kai said innocently, he really believed Li Shimin's nonsense.

But those old fox Cui Yansong and others could tell at a glance that Li Shimin had no intention of returning it at all, and he just kept procrastinating like this.

Cui Yansong sighed, and said, "Cui Kai, when will you be able to improve a little bit? Don't you understand what the emperor is saying?"
