"In the first month of the first year of Zhenguan, King Luo Yi of Yan rebelled against Jingzhou and led his troops into Binzhou.
Binzhou guard Zhao Cihao welcomed him, and secretly conspired with the commander Yang Ji. Yang Ji sent troops to attack him. Luo Yi's army also mutinied and was defeated!
Yi abandoned his wife and son and fled, but was killed by Zuo Zuo on the way. His head was presented to the court. "
In Da'an Palace.
The eunuch was holding a book and talking loudly.
Li Yuan touched the cards and listened with his head drooped.
Opposite him, Li Shimin sat smiling.
"Father, I have already said that this Luo Yi is not a good person. Look, he can't help but rebel, right?"
Li Er threw down two cards and said,
"To three."
Li Yuan shook his head.
"You don't overestimate your abilities, you really don't overestimate your abilities!"
He sighed softly,
"Where does Luo Yi have the confidence to dare to rebel? He is really tired of living!"
"I thought he was a person who knew current affairs at first, but I didn't expect him to be a stupid pig."
"To five."
As he spoke, he also threw down two cards.
Naturally, Xu Fenglei taught Li Tai this poker method of "fighting the landlords" and then brought it into the palace.
It's just that the Supreme Emperor is the Supreme Emperor after all, and the playing cards used are all custom-made and inlaid with gold foil, which can be said to be full of poker.
"Pass."
Changsun Wujiu touched the cards and stood still.
She is very clear about her position. She will never rob a landlord, but will always be a farmer supporting others.
"Then Zhao Cihao is a talented person. A rebellion was put down just by cooperating inside and outside. I plan to give him a title... Viscount, Father, do you think so?"
Li Shimin said casually,
"Right eight."
Snapped!
Li Yuan threw down a pair of two, shook his head and said:
"Don't ask me about this kind of thing, just take care of it yourself."
"I can't afford it." Changsun Wuguo said obediently.
This time, she and Li Yuan teamed up to fight the landlord Li Shimin.
"don't want."
Li Shimin smiled and said,
"Father, Luo Yi's head has been sent to Chang'an. Do you want to see it?"
Li Yuan rolled his eyes.
"Sent it this far, it already stinks!"
He said displeasedly,
"I don't want to look at it! It's just a human head, what's there to see?"
"You decide a crime, you can hang it on the city wall, smash it, you can do whatever you want!"
"Shunzi."
Swish.
Li Yuan took out a handful of cards, 3456789.
In an instant, there were far fewer cards in his hand.
"Pass."
Changsun Wugou still didn't play his cards.
"Guanyin maid, where are you playing with Lu Meng? Can't you play a single card?"
Li Shimin said helplessly,
"We're playing Landlord! You've got seventeen cards hidden away, but you're going to lose."
Changsun Wugou looked innocent: "But I don't have any cards to play."
As she said that, she covered the cards in her hand again.
Li Shimin curled his lips and said:
"fry!"
Xiaosha threw down four kings and once again took control of the game.
"People of the world, let me tell you that these kings with different surnames are indeed very unreliable and should indeed be cut off."
Li Yuan suddenly said,
"But our clan princes with the same surname are different. They all have the blood of my Li family flowing in their bodies, so they will never be able to rebel against the imperial court!"
"The reason is very simple. Being against the imperial court is equivalent to being against yourself!"
"So, I have an idea..."
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.
"Father, please speak."
He played his cards coolly, and after a bomb, it was already extremely smooth.
And Changsun Wugou finally played a single card.
It was obvious that her cards were terrible and there was nothing to fear.
"You should strengthen the clan."
Li Yuan said seriously,
"If we are the trunk, then the clan is the branches and leaves. A towering tree should not only have a strong trunk, but also have luxuriant branches and leaves, so that it can last forever!"
"Cut off kings with different surnames like Luo Yi, make our own family kings, and arrange for enfeoffment and control in various places."
"In this case, people named Li are in charge of the entire world. What else do you have to worry about?"
Li Shimin squeezed the cards.
"My father has already made so many clan princes, from your cousin's nephew to a newborn baby, all of them have been made county princes without exception. Don't you think it's enough?"
He looked at the cards and said casually,
"Father, do you think that the blood of my Li family must be extremely outstanding to be able to surpass others? As long as we are the princes of the clan, we will not rebel?"
"Three with two."
Snapped.
The cards were thrown on the table, but Li Yuan did not look at the cards, but focused his eyes on Li Shimin.
"Isn't the blood of my Li family excellent?"
He asked rhetorically,
"No matter how surly they are, they are still our clansmen and the closest people! At least they won't be as prone to rebellion as Luo Yi!"
"Am I right?"
Li Shimin sneered.
"Father, you have stayed in this palace for a long time, and you don't know that the people outside are sinister."
He said,
"Come on, read another report to the Supreme Emperor."
The eunuch behind him obeyed and read;
"The governor of Liangzhou, Changle Wang Youliang, is violent in nature. He has more than a hundred people on his left and right, all scoundrels, who invade the people."
"He also traded with the Qiang and Hu people, violated the rules of the court, and wanted to occupy the land west of Hexi to rebel."
Li Yuan was shocked.
Is this something Li Shimin had prepared a long time ago?
"Erlang...what do you mean?"
His face looked a little cold.
"It's not interesting. It's just that after Luo Yi, another king rebelled."
Li Shimin said lightly,
"And this king is exactly what my father said he is, a talented person in our Li family clan."
"He is as talented as he is talented. He has a rough personality and associates with scoundrels. Not only does he not treat the people well, he also bullies all the people."
"He is as talented as he is. He ignored the laws of the court and had fornication with foreigners. He sold tea, iron and other goods on a large scale. He also bought horses from foreigners and sold them to the Central Plains to make huge profits. In just these years, he has earned more than Three million taels! It has greatly violated the interests of the imperial court!"
"He is as talented as he is. As soon as I sent Yu Wenshi down to investigate, I was almost kidnapped and killed by him. He was even ready to seize the land west of Hexi to rebel and establish himself as king!"
"This act was even more powerful than Luo Yi's. Fortunately, he was more skilled and deployed his troops in advance to defeat him."
"Now, Li Youliang's head has been sent to Chang'an. It is fresher than Luo Yi's. Father, do you want to see it?"
Li Yuan: "￥%......&*#@!!!"
Although Li Shimin's tone was calm, a chill arose in Li Yuan's heart, causing him to tremble violently.
"Erlang, you..."
Li Yuan stared at Li Shimin and said tremblingly.
"In fact, I am very sad, extremely sad!"
Li Shimin stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice,
"Yes, who is Li Youliang? He is a member of our clan, and the blood of the Li family flows through his body!"
"Why did he rebel? Did we treat him badly?"
"No, father, not only did we not treat him badly, but we gave him supreme honor! Let me ask you, in all dynasties, how could a distant relative of the royal family be crowned king? Or this kind of prince with real power who governs a state!"
"But what about him?"
"Terratic! Rebellion! Greedy and greedy!"
"This is our clan, this is the face of the royal family!"
