Li Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
He didn't expect that his daughter-in-law's card would be reversed!
"Okay, okay, we win, we win!"
He laughed and said,
"Erlang, you are the emperor, do you know that Jun Wu is joking!"
"Would you like to eat from this table? Eat quickly! Hahaha..."
At this moment, Li Shimin's heart felt like ten thousand grass and mud horses were running past!
He never expected that Guanyin Maid actually killed him instantly with 16 cards!
The Haikou he just praised made Li Er feel like a clown at this moment...
Looking at the hard and thick huanghuali table, he felt like crying.
Not only is it difficult to eat from this table, it is also difficult to move it!
"This, I, I..."
Li Shimin's face was distorted and he wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Father is right, you have no joke. Since you said you want to eat from the table, you can't go back on your word and get fat."
Changsun Wugou hummed softly,
"However, seeing as this table is really hard to chew, it's unrealistic for you to finish it all in one go."
"Father..."
She turned to look at Li Yuan and smiled:
"Why don't you give this table to Erfeng and ask him to go back and chew it carefully? After ten or eight years of chewing it, he will be able to finish it one day."
"OK?"
When Li Yuan saw Li Shimin's deflated look, the depression in his heart could not help but be swept away.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. You are responsible for supervising him! He has to chew a piece every day!"
He smiled wantonly and said,
"Every year, I come to check!"
"If the teeth marks on it are missing, Erlang, I will scold you then!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he could only helplessly say yes.
"Come again, come again!"
Li Yuan became more interested and said,
"The queen is a good helper. Let's continue to join forces and beat him hard!"
"Okay, Father." Changsun Wugou responded quickly and quickly, shuffling the cards.
…
An hour later.
The emperor and empress left Da'an Palace, taking with them a huanghuali wood table.
"Guanyin Maid, Guanyin Maid, your deck of cards is really..."
Li Shimin pointed to the heavy wooden table and sighed,
"It's really a difficult task for me."
To this day, he still thinks about it and never forgets it.
"Who told you to be so complacent when you don't mean what you say?"
The eldest grandson Wugu said angrily,
"My father was already very unhappy when you talked about the clan king. When I looked at him just now, his expression changed."
"With the help of Li Youliang's rebellion, you overwhelm your father. Why do you have to make him happy at the card table? You, on the other hand, played the winner-take-all game. Do you want to overwhelm your father in all directions and make him breathless? "
Li Shimin was startled and looked embarrassed.
"You reminded me..."
He scratched his head and said with some guilt,
"I am indeed a little too proud. My father should win that one."
"He has stated that he is not interested in national affairs and just wants to play cards well. I am still pressing him so hard... It really shouldn't be the case."
"Fortunately you took action..."
This time, he also reacted.
How could a son support me like this?
What a traitor!
"Yes, fortunately I have such a card, which severely suppressed your arrogance!"
The eldest grandson Wugou curled his lips and said,
"It's only because you were so arrogant and swore randomly that my father would be so happy if I defeated you."
"Have you noticed that this old man is actually just like a kid? In reality, he loses to you, so he just wants to win you in other ways and see you defeated."
Li Shimin nodded slightly.
"So, from now on, when you are with your father, whether you are playing cards or anything else, let him be more generous and let him win."
Changsun Wugou said softly,
"In this way, if he is happy, how happy will our family be?"
"You have already won everything, so just put on a show at the card table... You see, later on he won a lot and was very happy, so he didn't show off to you anymore? The matter of losing the title can also be done The implementation continues. I think he will no longer help the young and old in the clan to speak. "
Li Shimin nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, that's the truth."
He clapped his hands and said,
"I'm stupid. I can't understand this logic. I still need you to wake me up."
"You just have a strong desire to win. You unconsciously want to defeat everything, just want to win." Changsun Wugou said, "This time, I have taught you a lesson! That huanghuali wood table, I But I will supervise you while you chew it!"
Li Shimin: "#￥%...&#￥@#"
Just thinking about it gives me a headache!
You will gain wisdom after every experience, and you will never dare to talk nonsense like this again!
commit a sin.
…
A few days later.
The emperor suddenly issued an edict, denounced Changle King Li Youliang for his rebellious behavior, and demoted him to a violent and cruel beast. His head was placed in Zongzheng Temple, and the descendants of the clan were ordered to visit in turn as a warning.
On the same day, the emperor announced that all the royal titles of the clan would be removed. Except for a few princes with military merits such as Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, and Li Daozong, who were not affected, the rest were all demoted to the founding princes!
Those with junior qualifications will be demoted to the rank of County Duke or County Marquis!
All the underage male members of the clan will be stripped of their royal titles and temporarily become commoners! Wait until you reach adulthood before sealing.
This imperial edict undoubtedly shocked the capital and even the world!
The emperor's sword was like cutting on the main artery, with the rhythm of killing a person!
For the princes of the clan, this is the darkest moment, like mourning a heir!
However, the emperor's thunderous methods did not stop there.
The royal family is above the imperial court and is not subject to the control of officials.
Li Shimin backhandedly expanded the scope of supervision by censors and admonishers to include all relatives of the emperor!
The admonishers headed by Wei Zheng must monitor the royal relatives at all times. Once they find anything that exceeds the rules, they must immediately file a memorial and have Zongzheng Temple deal with it!
The same is true at the local level. Anyone who discovers that those who support the clan have lost their moral integrity and lose the title are all responsible for reporting it!
This is equivalent to putting a collar around the necks of the clan members, completely tying them up so that they can no longer act recklessly!
This day.
Many of Li Yuan's relatives gathered in Da'an Palace, weeping like ghosts and howling like wolves.
Among them are many of his uncles, former princes and current princes.
They complained with tears and begged the Supreme Emperor to help them and take care of them...
However, the gate of Da'an Palace was always closed.
Li Yuan, who was highly anticipated, never came out. In the end, only three words came out from the eunuch:
"Let's break up."
In just three words, the young and old members of the clan, who were full of expectations, became filled with despair and unwillingness.
Although this farce has some momentum, it cannot make waves. In the end, it can only die slowly without any sound...
Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty stood in front of the Liangyi Hall of Taiji Palace, overlooking the capital and the world.
Who dares to make a mistake?
Got it right.
