Li Shimin didn't speak, and the scene was a little awkward at one point.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin finally put down his teacup and said, "Dear heads of the five surnames, it's not me who refuses to return those mining industries to you. Instead, the treasury has been emptied seriously recently, and its income is not enough to make up for the treasury's expenditure! You also know that on my shoulders, I bear the lives of the people across the country, so let's wait. Let's talk about this matter for a while!"

"Then, how long will it take for the emperor?"

Cui Yansong asked.

Li Shimin said: "Then we have to see when my treasury will return to its former state of fullness! If the treasury has been in a loss state, then these mines will probably not be able to repay them!"

"Ah? This..."

Li Shimin did not say he would return, nor did he say he would not return.

Instead, I practiced Tai Chi with them and said, "I will pay it back. When my treasury is full and rich, I will give it back to you."

But only Li Shimin himself knows when the treasury will be rich.

So, as long as Li Shimin says that the treasury has been losing money, can Li Shimin stop paying 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 aggrieved.

"Emperor, this is the property left by our ancestors! If I lose to my hands, Cui Yansong, then I, Cui Yansong, will be the sinner of the Cui clan of Qinghe! I have no words to my ancestors, Yan Emperor Spirit Card, Emperor!"

Finally, Cui Yansong began to use his ultimate move, lifting his ancestors and bloodlines.

You, Li Shimin, don’t give me the face of Cui Yansong, but you always have to give the ancient emperor Yan Emperor some face, right?

Those industries were all the throne that Emperor Yan had built back then, and were left to descendants like Cui Yansong. If you say you don’t pay it back, then you won’t pay it back? How could you let the ancient emperor Yan Emperor be so desirable?

Li Shimin said leisurely: "Old Cui, it's not that I will not return it, but that I am still in the disaster stage today. A few days ago, a large number of refugees from Liangzhou City ran to Chang'an City to cause trouble! So, I have no money now! The mines and pastures you provide for me are just barely maintaining the operation of the Tang Dynasty's treasury!"

"But Master, what exactly are you returning those industries?" Wang Shanyuan also asked.

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

"What if the Tang Dynasty has always been a year of natural disasters?"

Cui Kai suddenly interrupted.

Li Shimin immediately glanced at Cui Kai angrily, shouted: "Bastard, is there anyone who speaks like this? Are you cursing the Tang Dynasty, natural disasters every year? This year's drought and next year's flood? It's really outrageous!"

"The emperor calms down. It's because the son Cui Kai doesn't know how to speak. Please don't take it to your heart!"

Cui Yansong hurriedly smoothed out the situation and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you take a look? You should return some of our mining industries first, and keep the rest with you first. Is it OK?"

"No, I told you that this matter is undiscussed! In the year of natural disasters, I emptied the national treasury and had to subsidize the refugees. What about you? I just borrowed your property, and you are all going to die? As descendants of Yan and Huang, shouldn't you put some effort into helping some of your fellow brothers?"

"Hmph, so from now on, don't mention the return of the mine in front of me! I have said that the time has come, and I will naturally return it. If the century has not arrived, no one will take it away, hum!"

Li Shimin was really angry this time.

If they don’t give them a little warning, they really think that their emperor is easy to bully?

The whole world belongs to me, Li Shimin.

So what if you want some mines?

If Li Shimin hadn't been afraid that the five surnames were united too much, he would have even wanted to eliminate all the five surnames.

Because their existence is like five irregular blowout orders for Li Shimin.

As long as they jointly conspire to rebel, even Li Shimin himself will be unable to resist.

Moreover, the treasury losses have been serious recently, and it has always been underpaid.

If Li Shimin did not take this opportunity to weaken the power of the five-class family, then the royal family will decline from now on? Wouldn't the world belong to their five-class family?

Li Shimin is very careful and is also an old fox.

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

...

"Oh, that's all! Just be happy, your master!"

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

But the smell of this fragrant tea is so bitter at this moment.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Shimin said, "Everyone, do you have anything else to say? If there is, then let me mention it. If there is not, I will not accompany you! There are still many things waiting for me to deal with!"

"Okay, then you can go and do your business first. We will go back naturally when we travel in Chang'an City for a while!"

Cui Yansong Road.

Li Shimin said: "Well, then you all eat and drink well, I won't be with you!"

After saying that, Li Shimin shook his sleeves and left, leaving behind a group of heads of five families, looking at each other.

Li Chengfeng grinned and said, "Then I won't be with you! Thank you everyone, I have something to deal with when I go back now! Oh, by the way, there is also the head of the Cui family. You owe me ten thousand gold. Remember to send it to my mansion? Otherwise, I will have a cold and fever tomorrow, and your son Cui Kai will take all the responsibility!"

"Okay eighth prince, wait a moment, I'll send someone to the pawn shop to withdraw money? Is that good?"

"Well, okay, then I won't be with you!"

Li Chengfeng smiled and then slowly left the Imperial Garden.

Li Lizhi followed Li Chengfeng with cheerful steps.

The four remaining heads of the family were left looking at each other.

...

After Li Shimin left, the originally complimentary expression on their faces became very serious at this moment.

Especially Cui Yansong, he clenched his fists tightly, and his face turned a little vicious?

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

Cui Yansong spoke lightly.

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

Cui Kai said naively that he really believed Li Shimin's nonsense.

But those old foxes Cui Yansong and others could tell at a glance that Li Shimin had no intention of paying them back, and he kept dragging them like this.
