"Emperor Tang, you are untrustworthy! That tiger is your imperial brother Xuanzang. We have already handed him back to you, but you still attack us."
King Baoxiang asked angrily.
"King Baoxiang, you bullied me too much. My younger brother was a good man who practiced for ten lifetimes. You murdered him, and now you are still slandering me and saying that my younger brother is a monster. It is really unreasonable.
Someone, come and get the Treasure Elephant King for me. "
Wang Ming had an excited expression on his face.
As his words fell, one hundred thousand elite black armor troops began to operate in an orderly manner like a war machine.
The drums thundered.
A group of soldiers holding iron pipes came out of the army. They set one end of the iron pipe diagonally forward, set it up on the ground, and adjusted the angle slightly. If any future time traveler sees this scene at this time, he will definitely give the standard cordial greetings and shout that something is wrong with the painting style. Argument
The soldier is holding a mortar.
"Peng!!"
"Peng!!"
"Peng!!"
A huge explosion sounded, the iron pipe shook violently, and at the same time a line of white smoke came out from the upward pipe mouth, and the cannonball flew out from the muzzle.
"boom!!"
"Boom!!" theory
"boom!!"
A deafening sound rang out, and the ground beneath our feet shook violently. Huge holes were blown out of the walls of Baoxiang City by cannonballs. The falling earth and rocks from the city wall raised a large amount of smoke and dust, and a strong smell of gunpowder was introduced into people's nostrils.
"What...what...what's going on?"
The king of Baoxiang Kingdom was so frightened by this sudden change that he collapsed on the ground. It was considered that he had a good psychological quality if he did not pee in fear.
"Your Majesty, let's retreat quickly, the city wall will not be able to withstand it anymore."
The loyal guard stabilized his body, stood up on the swaying city wall, supported King Baoxiang, and wanted to take him away from this place.
But at this time, King Baoxiang's expression was dull, with a look of disbelief on his face: "How could this happen? How could..."
"Your Majesty, let's leave quickly. The thieves from the Tang Kingdom are using evil methods."
At this moment,
A cannonball fell in the sky not far from them, and the next moment King Baoxiang died.
The gate of the city wall collapsed soon after.
Tang soldiers immediately rushed into the city and began to arrest those who resisted.
"Your Majesty, isn't this a little too cruel?"
"Yes! Is it really necessary to turn all those men into slaves?"
"Doing this goes against the benevolent rule!"
Some ministers began to make suggestions beside Wang Ming.
"If you don't understand His Majesty's difficulties, don't speak." Military God Li Jing scolded.
"You murderer, shut up. You must have been seduced by war lunatics to demote a country's people into slaves. You will become a sinner in history. You..."
Wang Ming pressed his head and said, "Okay! This matter has nothing to do with Li Jing, it is my own idea."
The minister's face froze when he heard this, and he felt astonished as to why you didn't follow the routine. Because kings are very sinister, even if these are the king's own ideas, he will never admit that they are his own ideas. These are all the ministers' ideas.
Once something goes wrong, ask the minister to top the tank to calm the public's anger. Argument
The minister just now was actually trying to trick Li Jing and wanted to put Li Jing on the fire.
"Don't tell me whether a benevolent king is not a benevolent king. A benevolent king is your Confucian ideal of an emperor. A person who meets your Confucian standards is a benevolent king, but not necessarily a wise king.
What I did today might be too cruel, but it was the best way. "
"Father, is this really too cruel?" Prince Li Chengqian couldn't help but say.
Wang Ming glanced at the people around him. They were just ordinary people. Wang Ming could see through their inner thoughts with just one glance.
Then he said in a deep voice: "Qin Shihuang was too tolerant to the nobles of the six countries, so after the death of Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng, there was a strong counterattack, which eventually led to the death of the second generation.
Cheng Qian! If I don't do this at this time, I can indeed leave a reputation as a benevolent king, but I will leave the hidden danger in your hands. Argument
I am not exterminating them all. Those who are demoted to slaves are officials, nobles, and those who resist fiercely.
I really want to arrest the ordinary people of Baoxiang Kingdom, but it is just to change their lives in another area. Let them better integrate into our Datang.
The blood shed today is meaningful. War occurs because of friction between countries.
When there was only one country in the world, even if conflicts occurred, there would not be such large-scale casualties.
For the sake of eternal peace, I alone bear today’s sins and sins. "
As soon as these words came out, Prince Li Chengqian and Li Zhi couldn't help but burst into tears. They were so touched. This father is so good.
Emperors are very concerned about their reputation after death. Just like Emperor Qianlong, in order to ensure his reputation as a perfect old man, he suppressed all hidden dangers and handed them over to his son Jiaqing. Argument
Li Zhi couldn't help but think: "My father has done all these dirty things now. When my father comes to power a hundred years later, I can definitely be an innocent monarch."
Wang Ming took all the princes' thoughts into consideration and did not clarify them.
He just said to himself silently: "Even if you turn into bones, I won't die."
Wang Mingzhong was never a person who helped others without asking for anything in return. He did this not so that the prince could inherit the throne. It was because the journey from Chang'an to Tianzhu was too long. Wang Ming didn't want to cause problems, so he did it. make these arrangements.
To give peace to future generations?
Wang Mingshun had some thoughts, but that was all in passing.
Because there is no real peace. As long as people have selfish motives, there can be no real peace. Argument
But,
If a person has no selfishness, is he still a human being?
As for these reputation issues, Wang Ming is not worried.
After all, if future historians and the Holy Mother scold Li Shimin, what does that have to do with him, Wang Ming?
············
But said the other side.
The yellow-robed monster knew that Princess Baihuaxi asked Tang Sanzang to summon him to the King of Baoxiang Kingdom, so he rushed over immediately, slandered Tang Sanzang as a demon and turned him into a tiger. Argument
Last night, the yellow-robed monster drank in Yin'an Hall and slept until dawn.
Hearing someone calling his name, he opened his eyes and saw Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing holding what looked like his two children in their hands.
Before he could see clearly, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing threw the child Wang Baiyu violently down the steps. He was immediately beaten to a bloody pulp and died tragically.
The yellow-robed monster was confused at that time. He thought that the two children were Zhu Bajie and they were using a trick to deceive him, so he immediately ran back to his cave to check if his children were still there.
It was at this time that Wang Ming's army arrived.
The entire Baoxiang Kingdom was caught in the flames of war.
Sun Wukong also started a fierce battle with the yellow robe monster. Argument
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing took advantage of the chaos to rescue Tang Sanzang and fled out of Baoxiang Kingdom.
