On the third day after the end of the North-South feces and urine meeting, Li Mingda sent Qiu Shui to bring people to the palace to see them.
There was no room for rejection or any reason, even if it was because of collapse, it was just that Li Mingda disliked them because they were too smelly, so they were not allowed to go to the Imperial Study Room, only outside the Tai Chi Hall.
Murong Xue eagerly watched Li Mingda go to the Tai Chi Hall, feeling a little nervous. After all, making trouble was making trouble, and the people he offended were the representatives of the most noble families in the Tang Dynasty. It would be a bit troublesome if so many of them were discovered.
Li Mingda looked at Murong Xue: "What, are you scared?"
Murong Xue bared her teeth: "How is that possible? We are a novice with a master."
Li Mingda rubbed Murong Xue's little fat face: "The only way for pets to cause trouble is for the owner to step in and settle it! It's your father's fate!"
Murong Xue simply called out: "Papa"
Li Mingda: "..."
╮（╯＿╰）╭
Lost to her
Seeing Li Mingda go to the Tai Chi Hall, Murong Xue took out a handkerchief from her pocket and waved it: "Come on, uncle"
Li Mingda had a dark look on his face and decided to ignore her for now.
The representatives of the 23 families summoned by Li Mingda were also extremely uneasy. Li Mingda has not stopped since her debut. The only person who has followed her to oppose her is still alive, Changsun Wuji, who is in the prison.
Think about those people who died in Lao Wang's family, and then think about the group of young men from various families who died in Chang'an City because of Murong Xue, the broom star. They are exiled thousands of miles away, and bad news comes every year. It's not a disease. It's just injuries, and occasionally there are reports of death.
They originally wanted to take advantage of Li Mingda's ascension to the throne and the amnesty to bring people home, but then Li Mingda just didn't follow the routine.
There will be no pardon for these people. When the sentence ends, the crime of sneaking back will be increased.
Qiuhou asked to behead!
Think about it or forget it. Exile is only a matter of a few years. The post-Autumn Festival is too fast. If it is summer now, you won't have a few days to live.
Outside the Tai Chi Hall, most of these representatives had official positions, and they looked at the Tai Chi Hall with mixed emotions.
At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there was a court meeting. Lower-ranking officials had the opportunity to meet Tianyan in the Taiji Hall and express their opinions on the government affairs, that is, to seek some welfare policies for their families. Later, Li Shimin's reign lasted for more than ten years. Until the cabinet system was implemented later, the appearance of Tai Chi Hall gradually became a memory.
Now that Li Mingda is in power, he is very involved in the drama, and the memory of Taiji Hall has begun to blur.
Not having access to the highest power circle of the dynasty means that you have lost the opportunity for development and may decline. This is why the noble princes of the world's famous families try their best to squeeze into the court and make their voices heard.
A group of people were silently thinking about what Li Mingda had asked them to do this time. They were really not feeling down. They did not stupidly think that Li Mingda thought they were powerful enough to control the Tang Dynasty. Li Mingda would definitely not say anything about his past performance. Send troops to kill.
From when they got together to collective diarrhea, and now when they were called together, they swore with their lives that Li Mingda was 100% a shadow of Li Mingda, otherwise there would be people with such methods in the Tang Dynasty.
Thinking about those similar people in Jiangnan who have been sent to meet the King of Hell, they are their role models, especially those who were sent to various places and were tortured, how miserable they were.
This must be a warning to them that every move you make is under my control.
Since Li Shimin came to power in the Tang Dynasty, this kind of criminal law has rarely been seen, especially when he first came to the throne. Various benevolent and righteous policies have now been changed.
Li Mingda led the people outside the Tai Chi Hall and looked at the group of people. He had no good impressions of them at all. They could not live an honest life unless they made trouble for themselves.
"The Holy Emperor Mingzun arrived, everyone knelt down and worshiped"
When several people listened to Yu Xiaoqian's shouting, they were no longer as arrogant as before. They saluted without saying a word. Even though he was extremely weak, Yu struggled to keep up.
Li Mingda stood on the steps of Tai Chi Hall, looking down as if he smelled of feces and urine, and made no secret of his disdain for them: "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty"
A group of people stood up and returned to their seats. The exhausted ones returned to their seats with the help of the guards standing nearby, and continued to weaken.
He activated his emperor-level domineering power and scanned them with the Emperor's Contempt.
(￣_,￣)
"I, please know why I recruited you this time!"
A group of people were trembling and dared not speak.
Li Mingda continued to scare them: "Not speaking means acquiescence. I am already very busy. I deal with government affairs every day (barbecuing skewers and drinking wine) and I really don't want to care about you. Don't think that I don't care about you just because I don't know. What are you doing? I’ll record it for you every step of the way.”
"If anyone crosses the red line I have prepared for you again, it will not just be a simple warning, but will be punished directly according to the intention of treason."
"Don't think that your family has a big business. I can't bear to tell you that the Tang Dynasty wants to take over many of you. If your heads fall to the ground, the next moment someone will happily take over your business and property."
"If any of you don't believe it, you can try it when you go back and see which one is sharper, the iron head of your skull or the sharp blade of my iron cavalry."
When Li Mingda said harsh words to a group of people, everyone had already gotten up from their seats and fell to their knees.
Now that Li Mingda's lecture was over, they all begged: "I don't dare"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me"
Hum hum hum hum
A bunch of hypocrites, they may say nice things, but they must still be scolding me behind my back. I don’t know what you thieves are thinking.
Li Mingda was still looking at them with an expression of imperial disdain, waiting for their kneeling legs to feel numb, their legs trembling, and the weakest eyes looking like they might not be able to hold on any longer, then he nodded: "One again, two, not again, again." , you know in your heart how many times this is, get up and do business honestly and develop your own family. The law of the Tang Dynasty is a shield to protect you, and the opposite is a spear that will kill you. Do it well."
With a gorgeous turn, Li Mingda led a large group of people into the Tai Chi Hall. A group of people dared to get up only after being prompted by Yu Xiaoqian: "Get up."
Look again, it's empty outside Tai Chi Hall. Li Mingda is no longer there.
A group of people felt that their backs were wet. The emperor was the emperor. Regardless of their age, this inexplicable pressure made them feel scared in their hearts.
It was so terrifying that a group of people left Tai Chi Palace trembling.
Li Mingda walked around the Tai Chi Hall: "Yu Xiaoqian, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. It's up to you to arrange this year's annual meeting. Do you have any difficulties?"
Yu Xiaoqian: "Your Majesty, I have already consulted Eunuch Duan and my father, so there should be no problem."
Li Mingda: "This year is different from the past, safety is the first priority"
