Turbulent Times Chapter 1666: Tang Wang Li Shimin’s way of life

Li Shimin seemed to be enlightened all of a sudden, and he figured out a lot of things.

The wife of his elder brother Li Jiancheng is the daughter of the head of the Zheng family.

And the murderer who poisoned his old man, Chai Shao's old man and others... was Li Jiancheng's most trusted follower.

And the Donnie Yen in front of him had just entered the door and glanced at Patriarch Zheng very secretly.

Also, Donnie Yen and Zheng Ziqiang, the surnames coincidentally have the same pronunciation, and his surname is also Zheng...

Like almost all the real sons in history, they are hard to get rid of a very distinctive feature-that is, they are very suspicious.

Moreover, most of them like to play rather than kill a thousand, and they don't want to miss one, because for them, killing a thousand is not a big price, just like a thousand dollars in the eyes of billionaires may be different from that in the hearts of poor people. The same reason as a dollar.

In addition, the Zheng family is the father-in-law's family of his elder brother Li Jiancheng after all, so Li Shimin has already launched a murderous plan towards the Zheng family.

This killing intent is enough to make the Zheng clan exterminate.

It's just, when the Zheng family is exterminated, what will the surviving aristocratic families such as the Dugu family who are loyal to Li Shimin with the Zheng family think.

Don't they feel sad when the rabbit dies?

However, for Li Shimin, now is not the time to attack him or Zheng Shi.

He has sent a large number of confidant spies out of the city to the counties and counties in Guanzhong.

He needs to know the current situation in Guanzhong, because judging from the current situation, his plan to force the palace coup has been known to the Far East Army long before the launch, so those who are officials in various counties outside Chang'an City, Or the sons of powerful families who are generals in the army may already know what happened in Chang'an City.

The consequences can be imagined.

How could the Far Eastern Army in Hedong, Longxi, and Northwest be indifferent at this time?

But no matter what, Li Shimin still had the last sliver of luck in his heart, so he issued a batch of royal decrees in the name of his father. In order not to be suspected, there was also the royal seal of his father Li Yuan on it.

He wanted to recruit all the generals in the army and officials from various counties and counties into Chang'an City and into the palace.

Li Shimin is going to lure all these people to Chang'an City, and then catch them all.

As for the mansions of various powerful families, he had already sent troops there immediately.

He wants to kill the door.

For things like cutting grass and roots, Li Shimin will never be soft-hearted, let alone hesitate.

Of course, there are still many things to do, such as further cleaning the army, appeasing the officials and generals who chose to serve him, and appeasing the frightened Chang'an people.

We will also reward all the officials who have contributed to the success of the coup d'état.

For example, Chai Shao, in order for him to be able to rise to the top, even his own father was poisoned to death.

Although Chai Shao told Li Shimin very sincerely, even swearing like an oath: He said that he knew that this must be the work of a spy of the Far East Army, and repeatedly stated that he would never doubt that it was poisoned by Li Shimin.

But, there is no way, this thorn has been planted in Li Shimin's heart, Li Shimin's suspicion is so serious. Chai Shao may have never suspected that Li Shimin had poisoned everyone in the palace, and accidentally poisoned his father.

However, there is no way, Li Shimin doesn't believe that Chai Shao believes in him!

But even if Li Shimin doesn't believe that Chai Shao believes in him, the whole Guanzhong, the government and the public all know that Chai Shao is now Li Shimin's greatest hero, and he, Li Shimin, is now in power by killing his brother, brother, and father. Slaughtered most of the aristocratic families, although the situation was barely under control, there were still many hidden dangers and signs of instability.

In this case, even though Li Shimin didn't trust Chai Shao in his heart, he had to reward Chai Shao heavily, even heavier than the originally planned reward.

So, Chai Shao is now the Duke of Chu, and his family property has increased by more than ten times, and the fertile land has increased by 500,000 mu at once. All kinds of beauties have been delivered to Chai Shao's residence.

Of course these things come from other powerful families.

Li Shimin wants to exterminate all the powerful and powerful families, and of course he will also ransack the family by the way.

Since ancient times, house raids have always been the most efficient way to obtain a large amount of wealth in a short period of time.

However, there are two things that worry Li Shimin the most right now.

First, there were disturbances in the counties and counties of Guanzhong.

Second, several armies of the Far Eastern Army took the opportunity to break into Guanzhong.

Unfortunately, it seems that Li Shimin, the true son of heaven, has not been blessed by heaven at this moment.

Whatever he worried about, something happened.

The spies sent by Li Shimin came back one by one and brought him two bad news.

It's also the two things that worry him the most.

First of all, the sons and daughters of powerful families who are officials and generals in the local area and the army have indeed received the news, and after learning that their patriarch and family have been exterminated by Li Shimin, they immediately tried their best to start a rebellion.

The various demons of civil servants are generals who directly lead people to kill officials to rebel, or the two collude to occupy the city and stand on their own.

In just three days, Guanzhong has been in chaos. Even though Li Shimin had made preparations in the army before and put out some rebellions in the first place, there are still two counties and seven counties in Guanzhong that have become independent. , turned against him.

………

Yangzhou, Slender West Lake.

On a dragon boat, Wang Junlin was lying on a deck chair, bathed in the lake breeze in the south of the Yangtze River and the summer morning light, and Nie Xiaoyu stood motionless beside him, looking up at the sky.

The two are watching the lake, but they are not.

A flying eagle descended from the sky and landed on the dragon boat.

"Your Majesty, Li Jing sent news from Guanzhong that Li Shimin had mobilized three nights ago. He brought Chai Shao directly to mutiny and entered the palace. In front of Li Yuan, the No. 1 Killer King killed them all The patriarch of the powerful family who has secretly served the prince, Li Yuan had already compromised with Li Shimin, but at the right time, under Li Jing's arrangement, Li Jiancheng also forced Li Shimin to kill him. Li Yuan witnessed the second son kill the eldest son During the process, he lost his mind on the spot, let his people resist desperately, and entered the hall by himself, but was poisoned to death by Li Jing looking for an opportunity. Now Li Shimin has been burdened with killing brothers, brothers and fathers, and massacring thousands of people. The people's notoriety." Shen Guo'er hurried over from the other side of the dragon boat, and came to Wang Junlin's right side and said.

"Li Shimin is still the same Li Shimin." Wang Junlin didn't open his eyes, and continued to doze in the morning sun, but he could hear that he was quite emotional.

Wang Junlin paused for a moment, and then added: "Sure enough, Li Jing is still the same Li Jing, although he did not disappoint us, but in order to achieve his goal, thousands of people died..."

Wang Junlin didn't finish his sentence, and finally just sighed.

Shen Guoer seemed a little confused about the meaning of Wang Junlin's words, but she didn't ask carefully, but continued: "My lord, all the plans in Guanzhong are now the same as ours. Luo Shixin, Wu Si, Pei Yuanqing, Shangguanhu, and Jiang Mulang have been ordered to lead an army to suppress the border, and they can enter Guanzhong at any time."

Wang Junlin opened his eyes and continued to sigh with emotion: "In fact, we have built the army to such an extent, and there are so many good things hidden in Snake Island and Yancheng of Fanyang County. Over the years, I have dug Li Jing, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Yuchi Jingde, Xu Shiji, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin, Wei Zheng and so many great people, Fanyang County and Qin Qiong who has cultivated for more than three years finally turned around and began to serve me. Even if Li Shimin is really Destined to be the son of heaven, but now I have become a loner, in fact, it will be a matter of time before Guanzhong is defeated, and now only the cancer of the powerful family is the most important thing for me."

Shen Guoer was stunned, nodded and said: "So, the lord would rather let Li Shimin take the position, and use his hands to completely wipe out the cancer of the powerful family?"

Wang Junlin nodded slightly and said, "That's right, although it hasn't been cleaned up, most of it has been cleaned up."

Shen Guo'er was still a little puzzled, and asked: "My lord, Guo'er still doesn't understand that we can completely clean up those powerful families after conquering the world with their power!"

Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "At that time, it will be difficult to clean up, because they must also be the heroes of the founding of the country. If I do this, other heroes will definitely be worried that I will treat them like this. When the time comes, the monarch and ministers will be separated. Although I can definitely use new people, there will definitely be some troubles to some extent, and it will also hurt the hearts of the heroes. I won't do things while waiting."

"So that's it, Guo'er understands." Shen Guo'er suddenly realized, nodded, and said again: "It's just, my lord, whether we are going to fight in Guanzhong now, Luo Shixin and the others are still waiting for the order of the lord! "

Wang Junlin glanced at Nie Xiaoyu who had been silent all this time, and said, "Xiaoyu, do you want No. , destroy Li Shimin."

Nie Xiaoyu didn't answer immediately, the light in his eyes flickered sharply, and then he said: "The body of No. 1 is very important to me."

"In this case," Wang Junlin said with a smile, "Guo'er, send an order to Luo Shixin, Pei Yuanqing, Wu Si, Shangguanhu, and Jiang Mulang with flying eagles, telling them not to rush into the Guanzhong, but continue to give Li Shimin the best of both worlds." I'm going to force Li Shimin to give us number one as a gift."

………

The night was getting darker, and Li Shimin summoned them overnight in Chang'an City

Chai Shao and other military central officers discuss matters.

What they were discussing was naturally because of the rebellion in the counties and counties of Guanzhong and the overwhelming force of the Far East Army, which might invade Guanzhong at any time.

It can be said that for Li Shimin, the situation has reached an extremely serious situation.

So, in the Tai Chi Hall, except for Li Shimin who still had a face full of confidence, everyone else looked extremely solemn, and many of them even frowned tightly, unable to hide their worries.

"Everyone, I have expected this situation a long time ago." Li Shimin said calmly, and these words fell into the ears of all the generals and officers under his command, which made them feel inexplicably at ease.

Chai Shao's eyes flashed brightly, and he asked quickly: "My lord, you have a way to resolve the current crisis."

Li Shimin knew that since he had already bear the notoriety of killing his brother and father, he no longer had any hypocrisy, and directly declared his successor to the throne of his father Li Yuan on the second day after the coup forced the palace. Now he is the new Tang Wang, and he has already revealed his plan to his confidants, civil and military officials, and plans to establish a country and proclaim himself emperor after the situation in Guanzhong stabilizes.

"That's right." Li Shimin nodded and continued: "To be honest, if I hadn't thought of a countermeasure long ago, I wouldn't dare to start an incident at this time."

All the generals cheered up immediately, clasped their fists in unison and said: "Please show me, my lord."

Li Shimin said solemnly: "In Chang'an City, there is a person that Wang Junlin wants very much. This person is even more important in Wang Junlin's heart than the entire Guanzhong. We only need to exchange this person with Wang Junlin to start a gentleman's battle." The transaction can be exchanged for the agreement that the two parties will not go to war for three years."

"Of course, it doesn't have to be three years. It depends on the specific situation of the negotiations at that time. With the buffer of this period of time, I have the confidence to build our Tang country into a powerful country in the world, and it will not be weak. With the strong army of the Far Eastern Army, I will lead you all to compete with the Far Eastern Army for the world."

"Since ancient times, those who sit in the Guanzhong have won the world. You will all be the heroes of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and you will be prosperous and rich for generations, and your name will last forever."

There seemed to be a special magical power in Li Shimin's voice and his words. The generals didn't have much doubt about his words, and they were full of confidence in Li Shimin at this time, and full of expectations for a bright future.

"My lord, who is that man? In the end, I will lead someone to catch him." In order not to be suspected by Li Shimin, Chai Shao did not trust Li Shimin, and forcibly suppressed the grief of losing his father in the bottom of his heart these days. , Actively behaved in front of Li Shimin, at this moment he was the first to jump out, bowing down to beg for orders.

It's just that what he didn't know was that the more he behaved like this, the more Li Shimin became suspicious of him.

Of course, Li Shimin would never show the slightest thing on his face. At this moment, he even stood up, walked over to help Chai Shao up with a friendly face, then patted Chai Shao on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, this person With the strength of a master, and his supernatural powers are very strange, we must have a careful plan to kill this person, and plan to use 10,000 elite soldiers, and use all the masters in the stagnation period and the failure period that can be used, and It must be successful in one blow, otherwise if this person escapes, there will be endless troubles, and we may be assassinated by him at any time."

Chai Shao suddenly remembered the extremely handsome young man who killed the Quartet with a thin sword on the day of the coup.

………

………

In a courtyard, there are obviously people moving around, but it is completely dark.

In fact, there were only two people in the yard.

In the main house in the middle of the yard, there are no candles or oil lamps lit.

However, in the darkness, a figure stood there straight and motionless, and another person kept busy around this figure, as if repairing the body of the man in the iron mask who stood still.

That's right, these two people are the King of No. 1 Killer and the sword **** who was forged and refined to resemble a puppet by some unknown method.

In the coup a few days ago, the Iron Mask Swordsman was injured and his body was seriously damaged. The No. 1 Assassin King is repairing him.

It's just that, not long after midnight, one of Li Shimin's personal soldiers came, and he brought good news to No. 1 Killer King.

"My lord No. 1, the lord said that he has found the kind of jade that he needs. In addition, the lord said that there is an urgent matter, and he wants the lord to enter the palace early tomorrow morning. The lord wants to discuss with the lord. , may need the help of an adult to do this.” The soldier was very respectful to the No. 1 Assassin King, he had seen this one with his own eyes a few days ago, and today he came to see the No. Didn't know there was some other conspiracy behind this, so there was nothing wrong with his performance.

Therefore, No. 1 Assassin King stared at this soldier for a few moments, then nodded and said, "Okay, tell Li Shimin that I will enter the palace tomorrow morning."
