Chapter 106 Ending
Yuchi Gong replied: "The King of Qin raised an army to kill the Prince because he was in rebellion with the King of Qi.
His Royal Highness the King of Qin was worried about alarming His Majesty, so he sent his ministers as guards."
How could Li Yuan not understand what happened when he heard that his two sons were killed?
He immediately beat his chest and started crying loudly, and said to Pei Ji and others: "Unexpectedly, something like this happened today. What do you think we should do?"
Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda were originally from Li Shimin, and they said at this time: "Jian Jiancheng and Yuan Ji never participated in the strategy of raising righteous soldiers to resist the Sui Dynasty, and they did not make any contributions to the world.
They were jealous of King Qin's great achievements and high prestige, so they hatched a treacherous conspiracy together.
Now that King Qin has denounced and killed them, King Qin's achievements have overtaken the universe and brought the world to its center. If Your Majesty can decide to appoint him as the crown prince and entrust him with the important affairs of the country, there will be no more troubles."
In just a short moment, Li Yuan seemed to have aged dozens of years and said feebly: "Okay! This is exactly what I have always wanted."
Yuchi Gong asked Li Yuan to issue a personal edict, ordering all armies to accept the disposal of the King of Qin, and Li Yuan also followed his suggestion.
Sima Yu, the scribe of Tiance Mansion, came out from the East Shangge Gate to announce the order. Only then did Li Jiancheng and his troops settle down.
Li Yuan then asked Pei Ji to go to the East Palace to enlighten the soldiers formerly under Li Jiancheng. When the soldiers learned that the matter had been settled, they abandoned their posts and left.
Li Yuan called Li Shimin to come again, but Li Shimin didn't say anything, knelt upright beside Li Yuan, fell on Gaozu's chest, and cried loudly for a long time.
Li Yuan took a breath and patted his back and said: "That's it, that's all. From now on, you will be a good prince! Be a good emperor!"
After Li Yuan, the father, had finished grieving, it was Li Shimin, the father's turn. Looking at Li Chengqian, who was threatening death, Li Shimin suddenly realized when did he become so cruel?
Even his own son knew how to protect his brothers, but he cruelly picked up the butcher knife! Li Shimin stepped forward and gently took the dagger from the necks of Li Chengqian and Li Tai, touched their heads and said: "You did a good job.
It's passed."
One sentence shattered the last stubbornness of Li Chengqian and Li Tai! They threw themselves into their father's arms and cried loudly.
Li Shimin ordered the generals to strictly guard the East Palace and not allow anyone to enter or exit without permission.
While comforting brother Li Chengqian, he walked to Prince Qi's Mansion, where there was a sister and son waiting for him.
Princess Pingyang's first words after meeting the father and son were: "Second brother, if you don't give birth to these three promising sons, what will you do in the future? Just struggle with painful memories for the rest of your life!"
Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said: "Sister, I can't help myself due to the situation, but what I am most proud of is that I have given birth to three sons who are more promising than me! And they also have a good master! Let's all leave, I won't
Let’s kill again.”
Princess Pingyang still said coldly: "Where are Jiancheng's wife and children?
Leave it to me, I won't trust you in your hands."
Li Shimin nodded and said: "I have already taken them into custody. Send Yuanji's family members to the East Palace. Then I will withdraw my troops and let your people protect them. How about that?"
Princess Pingyang nodded and said: "That's pretty much it.
I don’t care about other things, but I will never let you take away their lives!”
Li Shimin nodded, and then said to Wenyi: "Xiaoyi, are you satisfied with the ending?
Come on, take a walk with me."
Wen Yi gave a wry smile, he still underestimated Tian Khan's broad-mindedness, he can forgive himself for this! Isn't it true that a scholar who is a confidant dies like this kind of hero?
He took off his armor and handed it to Li Ke, then left with Li Shimin.
The road was empty except for Li Shimin and Wenyi.
Li Shimin was the first to speak: "Xiaoyi, I'm very angry this time, but I don't blame you at all. I'm angry that I dared to kill him! That's my brother! Now that I've calmed down, I realize that I was so cold.
What will Brother Chengqian think when I really start the killing spree?
This is still the first, second, if my son dissatisfies me in the future, will he also raise the butcher's knife?
It’s scary to think about it!”
Wenyi: "Uncle, this is all the fault of the throne. It was not you, but Li Jiancheng who killed you first! You just fought back, but this will set a very bad example for future generations! Think about how princes can ignore their brothers for the sake of the throne in the future.
He will resort to all possible means, including assassinations, poisonings, and rebellions, and the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed not only by foreign enemies but also by internal struggles! However, my uncle's ability to rein in the situation is something that my nephew admires greatly!"
Li Shimin laughed and said: "What's the point? Now that the overall situation has been decided, why should I kill again?
Don’t I want to be respectful to my brothers and sisters?
But having said that, Cheng Qian and the others have been taught well by you, and I have become a prince, have you ever thought about coming out to help me?"
Wenyi shook his head and said: "There are many talents under my uncle's command, including me. I still prefer my current life."
Li Shimin stopped at this time, stared at Wenyi with burning eyes and said: "Xiaoyi, I have something that has been hidden in my heart for a long time. I hope you can answer me truthfully."
Wenyi nodded: "Uncle, please speak."
Li Shimin said: "I know you are from the Shennong Sect, but what I want to ask is how many sects like yours are there?
Will they come out to stir up trouble?"
Wen Yi smiled bitterly, but he didn't expect that the lies he had made up would have to be fulfilled again.
Wenyi thought for a while and said: "As far as I know, all the sects in the Jianghu appeared after we integrated the Jianghu, and ancient sects like mine should no longer exist.
I haven’t heard Master mention it either.”
Li Shimin frowned and said, "You don't know?
When I was a child, I met an old man who claimed to be from Guigumen and was the 17th generation disciple of Guiguzi. After he met me, he told me that I had the appearance of an emperor, but the road was difficult and ruthless.
Now everything he said has come true, only the ruthlessness has been stopped by you.
That's why I asked this question, I thought you hidden sects have been controlling all this behind the scenes."
Literature and Art became green when they heard about Guigu. As the most mysterious sect in ancient China, it is also full of controversy two thousand years later.
I didn’t expect that Guigumen has been passed down for so many years! Wenyi denied it decisively: “I have only read about Guigumen in books, but I didn’t know that they have been passed down to this day. Moreover, the fortune tellers are all liars, and their words cannot be trusted!”
Li Shimin nodded: "Let's not mention this matter for now. I read before and found that Wang Mang of the Han Dynasty had a style of doing things that was very similar to yours, including the policies he implemented, such as changing the name of Tianxia Tian to Wang Tian and replacing private land with Wang Tian; slaves were renamed
Private property, like Wang Tian, cannot be bought or sold.
Later, the currency system, official system, and salt and iron government camps were reformed. These actions were similar to the land centralization system and production brigade you implemented in Shanghai and Black Pine Forest.
