"Well, this slave thinks..." Seeing the emperor's resentment, Eunuch Hong twitched the corner of his mouth twice, and bravely said: "This slave thinks that the reason why the ministers in the court focus on the land is not the same.

It’s not that I want to shake up the country, but that I simply want to leave a family legacy for future generations!

Because even if a fortune is huge, it will be ruined one day! But if you have a thousand acres of fertile land, no matter what happens, you can still ensure that your children and grandchildren will have food to eat and will not starve to death."

"Hmph, a thousand acres of fertile land?"

After hearing Eunuch Hong's explanation, the anger in Li Shimin's tone did not diminish much. He still said with a dark face: "If they just want a thousand acres of fertile land, I won't say anything! But now you go out and take a look! This land in Guanzhong

, Whose do they belong to now! Is it mine? Is it the common people’s? No! None of them!

These lands belong to the seven sects and five surnames, and they all belong to the Gonggun princes in the court! Ma Zhou once said: A family with only one surname in Shandong can own the land of several counties! The people of these counties,

What do they rely on for food? They can only rely on this family! Listen to this family's orders and look at this family's face!

If things go on like this, the local people only know about this family, but they don’t know about the Tang Dynasty or me! Why did the rebellion in Shandong come so suddenly? So completely? Its roots come from this!

They are no longer just landlords and tenants, but a country within a country! And for their own selfish desires, they even dare to hide from the court and me, secretly flirt with other countries, and sell materials that I have banned to the country.

Other countries!”

"Ah! Your Majesty, what do you mean, are they going to split the land and divide the territory into vassal states?" When Eunuch Hong heard this, he looked up in shock!

He only knew that all those lands would belong to the powerful, and ordinary people would suffer. But he never thought that after the annexation of this land, there would be such negative consequences!

"These people deserve to be killed!"

Thinking of the examples in the history books where princes rebelled and turned against the emperor, Eunuch Hong couldn't help but feel frightened. He looked at Li Shimin and said sternly: "Your Majesty made a decisive decision to eliminate the rebellion and take back the land. He is truly a sage king!"

"Sage?" When Li Shimin heard this word, he smiled helplessly and said: "But those ministers probably don't think so. They are all afraid of me now! They are afraid that I will also take away their land, so they look at me with all their eyes.

With vigilance, caution, and even hatred! I have clearly given them a lot, but these people have forgotten that everything they have is given by me!"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so disappointed!" At this time, Eunuch Hong seemed to have remembered something, and solemnly said: "The slaves in the court hall, such as General Cheng who just came back, and General Qin Shu Bao Qin, still treat Your Majesty the same way.

Before."

"Cheng Yaojin? Qin Shubao?" Li Shimin, who was depressed, finally cheered up after hearing Eunuch Hong's reminder.

Yes, there are still a few people in the civil and military circles who still support him!

In addition to Lao Cheng and Lao Qin, there are also Niu Jinda, Liu Hongji, and Xiao Han!"
