When King Yong's guards were gathered together and half of the imperial guards on the left and right were marching to the camp, they still had to call in troops because they wanted to catch all the royal relatives and nobles here.
Otherwise, why summon so many soldiers and horses?
Are you afraid that the Yongwang Guards and the left and right Imperial City Guards officers will not be able to protect the safety of this place?
Now that both the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks have been destroyed, this place can be regarded as the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty. No one and no force can threaten the security here.
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "I took them away, and they can still use their remaining energy. It's better than you doing it yourself."
Li Yuan is not a good person. When none of his sons can inherit his throne, if he does not kill meritorious ministers, old ministers, and pave the way for his grandson, then he will not be called Li Yuan.
Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Yuan was very kind to most of the meritorious officials. He was given high official titles and generous rewards, so one would think that he was a person who would treat meritorious officials favorably.
In fact he is not.
The reason why he does not deal with the heroes is because they are supported by wealthy families. It is easy for him to deal with the heroes, but it is difficult to deal with the wealthy families behind them.
Second, because the heroes could not threaten him and did not clamor for military power, but allowed him to hand over the military power to his own people, so he could tolerate the heroes. Once the heroes touched his negative scale, or
If he poses a threat, it's up to him to kill him or not.
But now, the more powerful ones among the wealthy families have been almost wiped out, and the rest have been demoted. All aspects of the Tang Dynasty have become stronger, so he is no longer afraid of killing the heroes and the families behind them.
The wealthy families are facing each other.
Therefore, when necessary, he will definitely kill, just like he killed Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, eradicating the roots and leaving no one behind except the female family members.
"You bastard, you really understand me!"
Li Yuan pointed at Li Yuanji, laughed and cursed, then looked at his three sons, his eyes a little red and said: "Erlang, my father no longer blames you for what happened before, you don't have to feel guilty anymore.
You just need to apologize to your elder brother and ask him to forgive you."
It was rare for Li Shimin to hear such thoughtful words from Li Yuan. His eyes were a little sore, but not red, and he nodded heavily.
Li Yuan said to Li Jiancheng again: "Dalang, my father knows that it was my father who was sorry for you and caused you and Erlang to become enemies. I am here to apologize to you. If Erlang offended you, you should bear the grudge."
Bear a grudge and take revenge when it's time to take revenge, but as a father, I hope you will spare his life at the critical moment. After all, he is your brother, a brother from the same mother.
When Qian'er and Tai'er have something to do in the future, my father will make the decision and transfer their son's name to my late grandson's name to end his legacy."
Li Jiancheng didn't know whether he had waited too long for Li Yuan's first words, or whether he had a clear grudge against Li Yuan and did not use his father's status to pressure him to let him give up holding grudges and take revenge on Li Shimin. His eyes were red, but he didn't act like
Like Li Shimin, he nodded obediently, but said in a stiff tone, "No need, I have children of my own, and they will give birth to..."
Li Yuan let out a long sigh, nodded, and said nothing more. Then he looked at Li Yuanji and said with some excitement: "You bastard, you were not looked after by others when you were a child, and you won't be looked after by others when you grow up.
But you are the kindest person in our family, and you are also the most powerful person in our family. My father is proud of you.
After you get out, if you need help from your two brothers, just call them, they owe you!"
The debt Li Yuan meant was not that he spared the lives of the two of them during the Xuanwu Sect, but the mother's love.
When Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were enjoying maternal love when they were young, Li Yuanji's predecessor could only lie in Chen Shanyi's arms, and could only look for the maternal love from Chen Shanyi that he did not dare to express.
When Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin grew up, they did not fulfill their responsibilities of caring for their younger brothers, nor did they take care of them. Instead, they both wanted to kill their younger brothers.
So Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin did owe him and his predecessor an emotional debt.
Li Yuanji nodded solemnly.
Li Yuan shed useless tears and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't say more. If I say too much, you will think that I, a bad old man, talk too much. I don't have any requirements for you when you go out this time. I only hope that
You can take some time out of your busy schedule to come back and see me, this bad old man."
Neither Li Yuanji, Li Jiancheng, nor Li Shimin could remain calm now, and they all nodded heavily.
Li Yuan also nodded, stood up, clutched his sleeves tightly, and left the carriage from the side without looking back.
After Li Yuan left, Li Jiancheng, who was still sad, suddenly looked at Li Yuanji and said: "You want to take all of us away to complete your unreachable great cause? Why don't you ask us if we want to go?"
Li Yuanji put away his sad emotions, looked at Li Jiancheng and said calmly: "Do you have a choice? Or do you think that the officers and soldiers of the Imperial City Guard who you have bribed through Xi Neiwan's steward in the past two years can protect you?
Fight out?"
The expression on Li Jiancheng's face froze.
Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin again and said, "You have been hiding this person, Xi Jun, for a long time, right? Don't let him hide, and don't let him do those shameful things behind his back. It won't work."
If I want, I can bring everyone he has ever seen here at any time."
The expression on Li Shimin's face also froze, and he looked at Li Yuanji in disbelief.
He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, how could Li Yuanji know that he had bought Xi Jun so deeply?
Li Yuanji stood up slowly, clapped his hands and continued: "Okay, it's already this time, don't think about it, you won't have any chance. I just told my father and you.
It's all true.
So I hope you can put all your thoughts outside the region. There is a very high mountain in the Western Region. It is too high for mortals to climb. This mountain is the boundary. To the west of the mountain, whatever you can plan, you can conquer.
The territory that comes down is yours to do with as you wish. Even if you proclaim yourself an emperor and establish a country, I will not stop you.
But east of this mountain, our territory of the Tang Dynasty, I hope you can still stay safe and abide by yourselves."
Speaking of this, Li Yuanji looked at Li Jiancheng and said: "Your eldest son, also my eldest nephew, should be enshrined in Tubo."
Li Jiancheng's face became even uglier.
Li Shimin said quickly: "Tiance Mansion!"
Li Yuanji chuckled and said, "I'll give it to you after you cross this mountain boundary!"
Li Shimin suddenly became excited.
He is not yet thirty this year. He still has a lot of time to squander and has the opportunity to create an empire west of the Snow Mountain that will not lose to the Tang Dynasty.
When he had not reached his peak in all aspects, he helped Datang conquer half of the territory in just four and a half years.
He believed that he, who was now at his peak, would take even less time after reaching the west of the Snowy Mountains.
Li Jiancheng also reacted at this time and said loudly: "I want all the subordinate officials in the East Palace!"
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "Except Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, and Ren Gui, I can give it to you!"
Li Jiancheng's expression changed again. These three were the most capable among his men. If these three were moved, what would he do?
Li Yuanji didn't wait for Li Jiancheng to get angry and continued: "All the veterans under my father's command will be given to you!"
When Li Jiancheng heard this, his expression softened.
Li Yuanji continued: "Okay, it's time for us to leave!"
With that said, Li Yuanji cupped his hands and left the cabin.
…
At the beginning of September, all the racecourses, polo fields and racecourses needed by the Jockey Club were built. In order to make everyone have more fun, many new projects were added.
Horse racing, polo and other competitions officially started after all the entertainment facilities of the Jockey Club were built.
After the opening, it completely attracted everyone's attention.
From the emperor Li Yuan down to the small soldiers in the Imperial City Guard, everyone participated in it. They studied, discussed, and discussed it day and night, and in the end, gambling even appeared.
Li Xiaogong took the lead and came out to take charge and started betting with everyone in the room.
The atmosphere became more lively for a while, as if it was a Chinese New Year.
The competition lasted until mid-September, and the preliminary round had not yet been completed, but the betting turnover had already reached one million dollars, which shows how crazy the people in the industry are.
After everyone fell into madness, Li Yuanji went to Lingzhou Station and met a person escorted by Li Xiuning and Chai Shao.
An old Taoist with a celestial spirit will see that a person's nose is not a nose, and his eyes are not eyes.
"What you want!"
When the old man arrived at the guest room of the inn, he didn't even want to sit down, so he handed two small bottles and a piece of paper to Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji looked at the paper for a long time, then carefully placed the two vials on the table, and then said: "I got it so quickly. Have you tried it? How is the effect?"
When the old Taoist heard this, he immediately became angry. He puffed his beard and said with a glare: "I climbed over thirty mountains and walked for a full year before I found something. What do you think?
Do you know how many boys fell to death and how many shoes the old Taoist wore out?"
Li Yuanji said strangely: "It's not because you Taoist priests like to hide in deep mountains and old forests. The more capable you are, the deeper you hide. It's not my fault..."
The old man snorted heavily.
Li Yuanji continued: "So have you tried it and what is the effect? This thing is very different. If you haven't tried it and don't know the effect, then you may have to try it again!"
The old Taoist was furious and roared: "I can only save people, not harm them. Helping you find these evil things is already damaging your moral character. You still want me to try?"
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll ask Chu Suiliang to make some and try it myself..."
The old Taoist didn't want to talk to him at first, but then he realized something was wrong and couldn't help but snorted: "You don't know how to test it on a living person, do you?"
Li Yuanji spread his hands and said: "Otherwise, even cattle and sheep won't be able to see the effect!"
