Come out this time.
In addition to Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry, Li Kuan also brought out Xu Dog.
Xu Gou was not good at riding on horseback, so he made him responsible for properly arranging the dozens of Youzhou people. Li Kuan took Yanyun's eighteen riders and continued northward to Langjuxu Mountain.
As for whether the Turks would find Xu Gou and others, Li Kuan was certain that they would not.
He knew Jie Li too well, too well.
It is estimated that at this moment, Jie Li is sweating profusely thinking about how to deal with the White Tiger Camp, and he will do it at all costs.
Under such circumstances, how could they notice this small team of Han people?
This is also the reason why Jieli survived.
Xu Gou and the others must be safe.
Only wait for seven days before going to respond.
….….….….….….
Early in the morning.
Chang'an City.
More than ten days have passed since the Chuhe Village Incident, and the news has finally reached the ears of many people in Chang'an City.
But to their ears, the taste changed.
[The villagers of Chuhe Village saw King Chu going to the Turks and intended to follow King Chu to join the Turks. They deliberately caused trouble and tried to destroy the peace of the Tang Dynasty. Now! The Tang army suppressed the rebellion! Only a few thousand people were eliminated, and the remaining people were like birds and beasts, scattered throughout the southern part of the Tang Dynasty! 】
[Now, the four holy beast generals are wanted! Twelve nighters! The wings of King Chu! The six seats of the Chu army! Anyone who provides information or captures him, whether alive or dead, will receive a reward of ten thousand taels on his head! 】
This is the meaning that reaches the ears of the people.
Everyone in Chuhe Village is a traitor.
Can…….
How can this be!
Many people recalled that day when King Chu made free and easy declarations, had a bold and uninhibited attitude, and was willing to sacrifice his life for the Tang Dynasty. They beat him to death and did not believe that his highness or subordinates could have the idea of joining the Turks.
Reminiscent of Li Shimin's murder of his brother and his father, many people remained silent, everyone was in danger, and no one dared to say anything.
Chang'an has changed!
It has nothing to do with the connections it had a few months ago, with people coming and going.
Everyone is in danger!
Even the King of Chu and his people, who had made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, ended up like this.
They are afraid!
Too scared, too scared!
I am afraid that I will become a rebel in the next moment.
at the same time.
In Tai Chi Palace.
Li Shimin was listening to Fang Xuanling's recent evaluation of himself by the people.
"Your Majesty, the people's sentiments are not yet at our Prince Qin's residence."
"The changes in Xuanwu Gate, coupled with the changes in Chuhe Village, the people are waiting for us..."
Fang Xuanling didn't say anything else.
Those words were too harsh.
Li Shimin, who was sitting in a high position with twinkling eyes, came to the window and looked at the sky.
The weather today, and even the weather in the past ten days, is not very good. It is always covered with dark clouds, as if someone has covered it with a dirty rag.
No way.
It was very different from the sunny days a few months ago.
As it foreshadows, the Tang Dynasty a few months ago was prosperous and foreign races did not dare to invade, and it seemed to be heading in the direction of a strong country and a prosperous people.
But a few months later... Youzhou was shattered, everyone in Chang'an City was in danger, two kings died and one king was sent to the Turks, one arm of the imperial army was cut off, and Jiangdong in the south was also in the process of being out of control.
The Tang Dynasty seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
"Is this the price for ascending to the throne of God?"
Li Shimin felt as if he was lost and stretched out his hand towards the sky, trying to cover the dark cloudy sky from himself, but he couldn't.
Just like the current mess in Datang, he must solve it, and there is no way to avoid it.
"Your Majesty, the people's support is not with our Qin Palace, what should we do?"
At this time, Fang Xuanling came forward to ask.
As Fang Moudu Dudu, Fang Mou actually has his own ideas at the moment, but he didn't say it. He wanted to hear Li Shimin's ideas first.
After all, Li Shimin is no longer like the Li Shimin he knew.
Killing his brother and imprisoning his father, he could understand this.
After all, if Li Jiancheng is not killed, not only Li Shimin will die, but all the Qin Prince's palace will be destroyed. No emperor will tolerate the emergence of forces more powerful than himself in the empire.
This is an iron rule.
For life, for wealth!
Therefore, their trip to Prince Qin's Mansion was for justice!
Fang Xuanling hypnotized herself so much.
But later, Li Shimin sent his most capable son to the Turks, and also attacked the old, weak, women and children in Chuhe Village. He didn't understand.
Although he knew that the beliefs in Chuhe Village were terrible.
However, with the King of Chu gone, what threat do they pose to them without a leader?
Wouldn't it be better to let them go?
Must we kill them all?
To drive out and kill a group of old, weak, women and children...
I do not understand.
I don’t understand, I don’t understand.
Therefore, Fang Xuanling did not dare to make suggestions without any worries.
"People's support? It doesn't matter."
Li Shimin stretched out his hand and said calmly: "History will only remember the victors, and the people will only remember the victors. As long as I govern the Tang Dynasty in an orderly manner, and add time, they will forget today."
In fact, this is indeed the case.
In history, General Tiance killed his brother and imprisoned his father. How could his words be any better at that time?
There must have been a lot of scolding.
But he was able to govern the country and improve the people's lives several times in just a few years. The people naturally forgot his terrible behavior and were proud to follow him.
Even later, when all the nations came to court, General Tiance was canonized as the Khan of Heaven by the nations!
The people of the Tang Dynasty were proud of this.
How can I still remember killing my brother and imprisoning my father?
An emperor should be judged by his achievements during his reign, not by his moral character.
Therefore, when the people saw that they were living a prosperous life, they naturally forgot about the immoral things such as General Tiance killing his brother and imprisoning his father, marrying his brother's wife, Concubine Yang, the former Sui princess, and marrying Empress Xiao.
"Many things in the world are nothing more than a word of profit."
"Just like the King of Chu, why so many people follow him? It's because he has never been defeated. He has never let them down. He knows what his people want and leads them to realize it step by step, so they follow Chu crazily. King, and made a perfect transition to become a believer.”
"And if the King of Chu was defeated midway at that time, one defeat would be okay, three defeats and four defeats, or even repeated defeats, then he would naturally lose the so-called [popular support] and there would be no fans to support him enthusiastically."
"People's hearts are easy to understand and deal with. Just give them what they want."
"There is a saying that I think is good. As long as he is sincerely good to you, even if the whole world says he is a bad person, then you can only think that he is a good person, because he is good to you. It's that simple."
"So, when I am in power, as long as I give the people a lot of things, things that my father and even the former Sui Emperor could not give when they were in power, they will forget the changes in Xuanwumen and Chuhe Village."
"They will forget, they will forget."
Li Shimin talked eloquently and firmly believed in this.
Fang Xuanling on the side did not speak, he knew that what His Majesty said was right.
Li Shimin still looked up at the sky, with a look of worry in his brows that could not be resolved: "Compared with the so-called people's hearts, I am more worried about the remnants of the King of Chu."
"Although the remnants of King Chu's party are all wanted and have been defeated repeatedly, they don't know what surrender means."
"I'm worried about the remnants of the King of Chu... They will choose a new leader to seek justice for Chuhe Village and start another war in the Tang Dynasty."
While talking, Li Shimin opened a painting.
That was a portrait seized from Chuhe Village.
Paintings of the Four Sacred Beasts, the Twelve Nights, the King's Six Seats, and the King's Wings.
The first one is a painting of the Four Sacred Beasts.
General Xuanwu, who was in the north, and General Suzaku, who was in the south, were marked with a cross by Li Shimin with a writing brush.
The second painting is a painting of the Twelve Nights.
Sitting in it, the code names were Chou Niu, Yin Hu, and You Rooster, and they were marked with a cross.
The third painting shows the six seats of the King of Chu.
Sitting in the fourth and fifth seats, they were marked with a cross.
The fourth painting is the wings of the King of Chu.
The imposing man sitting on the right side was marked with a cross.
These are the results of Li Shimin's full efforts to eliminate them in the past ten days.
