Chapter 1666 The way of life of Tang Wang Li Shimin
Li Shimin seemed to have a sudden enlightenment and figured out many things.
The wife of his eldest brother Li Jiancheng is the legitimate daughter of the head of the Zheng family.
And the murderer who poisoned his father, Mr. Chai Shao and others... was the most trusted official around Li Jiancheng.
And the man in front of him, Zhen Ziqiang, had just entered the door and glanced at the head of the Zheng family very cryptically.
Also, the surnames of Donnie Yen and Zheng Ziqiang have the same pronunciation. Coincidentally, his surname is also Zheng...
Just like almost all the right men in history, they all have a very distinctive characteristic - that is, they are very suspicious.
Moreover, most of them like to play and would rather kill a thousand than miss one, because to them, killing a thousand is not a big price, just like a thousand dollars in the eyes of a billionaire may be the same as one dollar in the eyes of a poor person.
principle.
In addition, the Zheng family was his brother Li Jiancheng's father-in-law's family after all, so Li Shimin had already made murderous intentions towards the Zheng family.
This murderous intention was enough to wipe out the Zheng family.
However, when the Zheng family was exterminated, what would the surviving aristocratic families such as the Dugu family and the Zheng family who were loyal to Li Shimin think?
Wouldn't they be miserable?
However, for Li Shimin, now is not the time to take action against him or Zheng.
He had just sent a large number of close spies out of the city to various counties in Guanzhong.
He needs to know the current situation in Guanzhong, because judging from the current situation, his plan to force a coup d'etat has been known to the Far East Army long before it was launched, so those who are officials in various counties outside Chang'an City, or are in the military
The general's descendants from aristocratic families may also already know what happened in Chang'an City.
The consequences can be imagined.
And how could the Far Eastern Army in Hedong, Longxi, and the northwest be indifferent at this time?
But no matter what, Li Shimin still had the last bit of luck in his heart, so he issued a number 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 them.
He wanted to recruit all the military generals from well-known families and officials from various counties and counties into Chang'an City and into the palace.
Li Shimin planned to lure all these people to Chang'an City and then catch them all.
As for the mansions of various aristocratic families, he had already sent troops there as soon as possible.
He wants to destroy the family.
Li Shimin would never be soft-hearted or hesitant in matters like cutting the grass and roots.
Of course, there are still many things to do next, such as further purging the army, appeasing the officials and generals who chose to serve him, and appeasing the frightened Chang'an people.
He also wants to reward all the officials who have contributed to his success in forcing the coup.
For example, Chai Shao, even his own father was poisoned to death in order for him to rise to power.
Although Chai Shao told Li Shimin sincerely, even swearing that he knew this must be the work of spies of the Far East Army, he repeatedly expressed that he would never doubt that it was poisoned by Li Shimin.
However, 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 everyone in the palace poisoned by accident.
his father.
However, there is no way, Li Shimin does not believe that Chai Shao believes in him!
But even if Li Shimin doesn't believe that Chai Shao believes in him, everyone in Guanzhong, both inside and outside the court, knows that Chai Shao is now Li Shimin's biggest contributor, and he, Li Shimin, has killed most of the family by killing his younger brother, brother, and father.
The aristocratic family slaughtered them all, and although they barely controlled the situation, they still left many hidden dangers and signs of instability.
Under this situation, even though Li Shimin no longer believed in Chai Shao, he still had to reward Chai Shao heavily, even heavier than the originally planned reward.
Therefore, Chai Shao is now the Duke of Chu, and his family property has increased by more than ten times. The farmland has suddenly increased by 500,000 acres, and there are twenty pairs of beauties ranging from twelve to twenty years old.
It has been delivered to Chai Shao's house.
Of course these things come from other wealthy families.
Li Shimin wanted to wipe out all the powerful families, so of course he would also ransack their homes.
Since ancient times, confiscation of homes has 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 was trouble in various counties and counties in Guanzhong.
Second, several armies of the Far Eastern Army took the opportunity to invade Guanzhong.
It's a pity that Li Shimin, the destined emperor, seems not to be blessed by God at this moment.
Whatever he worried about, something happened.
The spies sent by Li Shimin came back one by one and brought him two pieces of bad news.
These are also the two things he worries about the most.
First of all, the children of wealthy families who were local and military officials and generals had indeed received the news, and after learning that their family heads and families had been exterminated by Li Shimin, they immediately tried their best to start a rebellion.
Various forms of evildoing by civil servants include the generals directly leading people to kill the officials in rebellion, or the two colluding to seize the city and establish themselves.
In just three days, chaos has broken out in Guanzhong. Even though Li Shimin had made preparations in the army and put out some rebellions as soon as possible, two counties and seven counties in Guanzhong were still independent. With him,
They turned against each other.

Yangzhou, Slender West Lake.
On a dragon boat, Wang Junlin was lying on a deck chair, bathing in the Jiangnan lake breeze and the summer morning light. Next to him stood Nie Xiaoyu, motionless, looking up at the sky.
The two of them were viewing the lake, but they were not.
A flying eagle descended from the sky and landed on the dragon boat.
"Your Majesty, Li Jing has received news from Guanzhong. Li Shimin had already launched a rebellion three nights ago. He led Chai Shao to directly mutiny and entered the palace. In front of Li Yuan, he ordered the No. 1 Killer King to kill them all. He had secretly sent
Li Yuan, the head of a wealthy family that the prince surrendered to, had originally compromised with Li Shimin, but at the right time, under the arrangement of Li Jing, Li Jiancheng forced Li Shimin to kill him. Li Yuan witnessed the process of the second son killing the eldest son,
He lost his mind on the spot and asked his people to resist desperately. He entered the hall, but was poisoned by Li Jing when he found an opportunity. Now Li Shimin has been burdened with the murder of his brother, brother and father, as well as the massacre of thousands of people.
Bad reputation." Shen Guoer hurriedly walked over from the other end of the dragon boat and came to the right side of Wang Junlin and said.
"Li Shimin is indeed the same Li Shimin." Wang Junlin did not open his eyes and continued to doze in the morning sun, but it could be heard that he was quite emotional.
Wang Junlin paused and then added: "Li Jing is still the same Li Jing. Although he did not disappoint us, thousands of people died in order to achieve his goal..."
Wang Junlin did not finish his words, and finally just sighed.
Shen Guoer vaguely seemed to be confused about the meaning of Wang Junlin's words, but she did not ask in detail, but continued: "Your Majesty, all the plans in Guanzhong are the same as ours. The remnants of the powerful family are causing chaos. Luo Shixin, Wu
Fourth, Pei Yuanqing, Shangguan Hu, and Jiang Mulang have been ordered to lead the army to suppress the border and can enter Guanzhong at any time."
Wang Junlin opened his eyes and continued to sigh: "In fact, we have built the army to this extent. Shedao and Yancheng of Fanyang County have hidden so many good things. In recent years, I have dug up Li Jing, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Yuchi Jingde, Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin, Wei Zheng and so many other outstanding people, Fanyang County and Qin Qiong who have been training for more than three years finally turned around and started to serve me. Even if Li Shimin is really the destined emperor, But now I have become a loner. In fact, it is only a matter of time to conquer Guanzhong. Now only the cancer of a wealthy family is the most important thing to me."
Shen Guoer suddenly felt enlightened and nodded: "So, the prince would rather let Li Shimin take the throne, but also use his hands to completely eliminate the cancer of the wealthy family?"
Wang Junlin nodded slightly and said: "Yes, although it has not been cleaned up yet, most of it has been cleaned up."
Shen Guo'er was still a little confused and asked: "Your Majesty, Guo'er still doesn't understand that we can clean up those wealthy families by ourselves after conquering the world with their help!"
Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "It won't be easy to clean up at that time, because they will definitely be the founding heroes by then. I don't want to do that thing of waiting until the rabbit is gone and the dog is cooked. Besides, I really want to do this when the time comes. , other heroes will definitely be worried that I will treat them like this. When the time comes, the monarch and his ministers will be separated. Although I can definitely use new people, it will definitely cause some troubles, and it will also hurt the hearts of the heroes. I will I won’t do it.”
"I see, Guo'er understands." Shen Guo'er looked suddenly enlightened, nodded, and said: "It's just that, Your Majesty, we still have to fight in Guanzhong now. Luo Shixin and the others are still waiting for His Majesty's order!"
Wang Junlin glanced at Nie Xiaoyu, who had been silent, and said: "Xiaoyu, do you want No. 1's body? If you don't really want his body, I will take advantage of the chaos in Guanzhong and directly attack Guanzhong and destroy it. Li Shimin."
Nie Xiaoyu did not answer immediately, the light in his eyes flickered sharply, and then he said: "No. 1's body is very important to me."
"In this case," Wang Junlin said with a smile: "Guo'er, you give orders to Luo Shixin, Pei Yuanqing, Wu Si, Shangguan Hu, Jiang Mulang and others with flying eagles, telling them not to rush into Guanzhong, but continue to put pressure on Li Shimin, I We must force Li Shimin to give us No. 1 as a gift."

The night was getting darker. In Chang'an City, Li Shimin convened all night.
Chai Shao and other central military generals discussed matters.
What they were discussing was naturally due to the rebellion in the counties and counties in Guanzhong and the overwhelming force of the Far Eastern Army, which might invade Guanzhong at any time.
It can be said that the situation has reached an extremely serious point for Li Shimin right now.
Therefore, in the Tai Chi Hall, except for Li Shimin who still looked confident and confident, everyone else's expressions were extremely solemn. Many people even frowned tightly, unable to hide the worries in their hearts.
"Everyone, I have expected this situation a long time ago." Li Shimin said calmly. These words fell into the ears of all the generals under his command, and actually made them feel inexplicably at ease.
Chai Shao's eyes flashed and he quickly asked: "My lord, do you have a way to resolve the current crisis?"
Li Shimin knew that since he had already been burdened with the reputation of killing his brother, brother and father, he no longer had any pretense. On the second day after the successful coup, he announced that he would succeed his father Li Yuan to the throne. Now he is the new king of Tang. Moreover, he had already revealed his plan to his close associates, civil and military officials, and planned to establish a country and ascend the throne as emperor after the situation in Guanzhong stabilized.
"That's right." Li Shimin nodded and continued: "To be honest, if I hadn't thought of a countermeasure a long time ago, I wouldn't have dared to cause trouble at this time."
All the generals immediately became energetic and clasped their fists in unison: "Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty."
Li Shimin solemnly said: "There is a person in Chang'an City who 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 for a gentleman's transaction."
It can be exchanged for an agreement that both parties will not go to war for three years."
"Of course, it doesn't have to be three years. It depends on the specific circumstances of the negotiations at that time. With this period of buffering, I am confident that we can build our Tang country into a powerful country in the world and develop a military force that is not weaker than the Far East Army."
When the time comes, I will lead you all to compete with the Far Eastern Army for the world."
"Since ancient times, those who sit in Guanzhong have conquered the world. You will all be the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty. You will be prosperous and wealthy for generations, and your name will last forever."
There seemed to be a special magic power in Li Shimin's voice and his words. The generals had no doubts about his words. Moreover, everyone was full of confidence in Li Shimin and full of expectations for a bright future.
"Your Majesty, who is that person? I will bring someone to catch him immediately." In order not to be suspected by Li Shimin, Chai Shao did not believe him. In the past few days, Chai Shao suppressed the grief of losing his father deep in his heart.
Be proactive in front of others, be the first to jump out and bow down to ask for orders.
However, 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 it on his face. At this time, he even stood up, walked over and helped Chai Shao up with a friendly expression, then patted Chai Shao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, this person has the realm of a master."
He has great strength, and his magical powers are very strange. We must have a careful plan to kill this person. We plan to use 10,000 elite soldiers, and use all the masters in the stagnation period and the power-breaking period that can be used, and it must be a single blow.
Success, otherwise if we let this person escape, the consequences will be endless, and we may be assassinated by him at any time."
Chai Shao suddenly remembered the extremely handsome young man who killed everyone with a thin sword on the day of the coup.

In a courtyard, there was clearly a figure moving, but it was completely dark.
In fact, there were only two people in the courtyard.
In the main room in the middle of the courtyard, no candles or oil lamps were lit.
However, in the darkness, a figure stood upright and motionless, and another person was busy around this figure, as if repairing the body of the man wearing the iron mask who stood still.
Yes, these two people are none other than the No. 1 Killer King and the Sword God who was forged and refined into something like a puppet by unknown means.
In the coup a few days ago, the Iron Mask Swordsman was injured and his body was seriously damaged. Killer King No. 1 is repairing him.
However, shortly after midnight, one of Li Shimin's soldiers came, and he brought good news to the No. 1 Killer King.
"Reporting to Sir No. 1, the prince said that he has found the kind of jade that you need. In addition, the prince said that there is an urgent matter. He wants you to enter the palace early tomorrow morning. The prince wants to discuss it with you. It may be necessary.
Sir, please help me with this matter." The soldier was very respectful to the King of Killers No. 1. He had seen this man take action with his own eyes a few days ago, and today he came to see the King of Killers No. 1 and did not know this.
There are other conspiracies behind it, so there is no problem with his performance.
Therefore, the King of Killers No. 1 stared at the soldier for a few times, then nodded and said: "Okay, tell Li Shimin that I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning."
