have to say.
At first, Li Tai's rebellion made everyone think that this would be the beginning of another Xuanwu Gate Incident. Since it involved the two giant cities of Luoyang and Chang'an, the scale was even larger than the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
However, this rebellion ended like a child's play.
It's like playing around.
Looking at the entire history, let me ask, has anyone in the past dynasties been as rebellious as Li Tai, and has he been so defeated?
This one, I'm afraid, is the only one.
Queen Changsun took Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Li Jing and other ministers, followed Li Shimin, and also walked towards Chang'an.
The people on both sides looked at the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan and Li Shimin. An extremely explosive carnival burst out.
At this time, the Jinwu Guards had also put their shackles on the heads of the Li family in Longxi, the Cui family in Qinghe, Li Tai, Long Chai Lingwu and others.
The head of the Li family in Longxi, the head of the Cui family in Qinghe, Chai Lingwu, Wei Ting and others look at me and I look at you.
With cold shackles.
Staring at the heavy weight of the shackles.
With shaky steps, under the suppression of the officers and soldiers, he walked towards Chang'an step by step.
This is Chang'an City! !
The city of Chang'an they once left, but now, is back.
And, it’s still such a comedy.
Still, so... in a trance!
"These guys deserve it, hahaha... They dare to rebel, so they should be prepared."
"That's right, with His Royal Highness the King of Chu here, you still think about causing trouble in the Tang Dynasty. How is it possible? How is it possible!"
"Who says it's not true? This damn guy deserves it. I didn't expect that the young masters of the Li family in Longxi are all among them. Now, let's catch them all in one fell swoop, hahaha..."
"We are usually full of evil, but we have been unable to suppress them. Now it's better. They are all in trouble, and no one can escape."
"Hey, this time it's all thanks to His Highness the King of Chu. Otherwise, our Tang Dynasty would really be ruined in the hands of these people."
"Who says it's not? Bah, grandma, it should be killed! It should be killed!!"
"……."
The common people looked at the head of the Li family in Longxi and threw out all the vegetable leaves they had prepared.
For a time, it was extremely lively.
The head of the Li family in Longxi, the head of the Cui family in Qinghe, Wei Ting, Chai Lingwu and others, these big bosses once covered the sky with one hand.
There are also those clan children behind him who can be said to have been richly clothed and well-fed since birth.
When had they ever been treated like this?
All of them lowered their heads.
I endured the smell of vegetable leaves and rotten eggs.
Some of the female relatives couldn't bear it and had already cried.
Especially when I see people in the crowd who I used to play with or who I don't like.
Now, he has become a prisoner! ! !
Still the most serious kind!
I can’t hold it any longer!
But even if you cry, what will change?
One wrong step and it will be a lifelong mistake!
Li Tai clenched his hands tightly.
The shackles around his neck made him feel extremely depressed and he could hardly breathe.
He was standing in front of Chang'an Gate.
The family members of the aristocratic family walked past him.
The Jinwu guards on both sides are waiting.
Wait until everyone has entered Chang'an and there is no one here.
"Let's go, Your Highness, don't delay any longer."
"It's no longer necessary."
"Yes, Your Highness, please don't embarrass me."
"When the time comes, it won't look good on His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor's side. Please, Your Highness."
The Jinwu guards on both sides said in a deep voice.
Li Tai swallowed hard.
Wow….
When he takes a step forward.
The shackles on his feet suddenly made a clanging sound.
It was a hard walk.
Step by step…….
Li Tai walked forward slowly like this.
His face was ashen.
Eyes dull.
No spirit.
He never imagined that he would reach this point.
But, everything is overturned!
I'm done! !
Li Tai really wanted to cry.
.
…….…….….….
Near Tai Chi Palace.
Under the pavilion.
Li Shimin, Li Yuan, Empress Changsun, Changsun Wuji and others took their seats.
The meals were all served one by one.
Shangguan Haitang was beside him, pouring tea for Li Yuan.
Princess Changle entered the courtyard and disappeared.
Little Sizi did not serve the dish, but hid in the corner, plucking the petals, and grumbling, "Bad second brother, bad second brother."
"Father, you were fully involved in this rebellion. What do you think should be done with these rebels?"
"You said, my son, I will listen to you."
Li Shimin sat down and said with a smile.
Li Yuan pursed his lips.
"Erlang, I think this matter is very simple, just kill him."
"A bunch of borers really have nothing to leave behind, and winter has arrived. Can spring be far behind?"
"When the spring comes and the imperial examination results are released, we in the Tang Dynasty will not be short of people to serve the court."
"At that time, all things will flourish and be full of vitality. These represent the Tang Dynasty, no, it can be said to represent the dregs of past dynasties, and some of them can also be cleaned up."
Li Yuan said directly.
Li Shimin, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and others look at me and I look at you.
They were silent for a while.
Several people looked at each other. Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, pursed his lips, and said, "Father, then...but..."
"Father, the head of the Li family in Longxi, Chai Lingwu Weiting, the head of the Cui family in Qinghe, all of them will be executed, so it doesn't matter."
"But those relatives, they don't know yet, they are just deceived by this group of people, right..."
“Are their sins not worthy of death?”
Li Shimin whispered.
"Yes, Your Majesty, how do you say this...?"
"If these relatives are also executed, I'm afraid it will cause quite a disturbance."
"Your Majesty, do you still want to think about it again?"
"Well... um... Your Majesty, should we have a long-term discussion?"
"……."
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and others hesitated for a moment and then echoed.
After all, when they think about problems, they are extremely comprehensive and have many things to consider.
Moreover, these aristocratic families have various relationships with them, so...
Li Yuan chuckled.
Scanned a few people.
Shaked his head.
"You guys, after all, you think too much and just want to balance everything, but some things cannot be broken or established."
"Some things cannot be compromised. Erlang, this is what you taught your father. Why, just a few years have passed and you have completely forgotten it?"
Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin and raised his eyebrows.
this matter.
Naturally, it refers to the Xuanwu Gate Changes.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flickered, as if he was caught in that memory.
Changsun Wuji and others also had some reminiscences.
yes!
To cut the weeds, get rid of the roots!
"Let me see, if you want to kill, you must kill them all. This cancer must be completely scraped away."
"However, if you think the killing is too serious, you can kill the three tribes, and then find a place to lock up the rest, so that they will not be able to leave the place for the rest of their lives until they die of old age."
"They are not allowed to reproduce any more, so we will use time to destroy these guys. Is that okay? This is what King Chu meant."
Li Yuan said softly.
What the King of Chu meant! ! !
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel cold and silent in their hearts.
Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan and was stunned for a moment. After counting his breaths, his breathing suddenly became rapid.
This is also what Li Kuan meant...
This sentence carries too much weight! !
And their grandfather and grandson came up with the final solution after discussing it.
Even if you don’t kill!
I will also be sleepy to death...
This method, hiss...
Li Shimin nodded vigorously.
"Father, I will do as you say, completely! I will do it completely!!"
"In fact, no one dares to say anything about the rebellion, even if the nine tribes are wiped out. It's just that this time, they... they met the King of Chu, and they seemed a little pitiful."
"Among the three tribes, except for Zhan! The rest will be sent to the frontier to do hard labor. They will not be allowed to come back forever. Just let them die outside."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and others also achieved success.
He nodded repeatedly.
This decision can also be said to be extremely correct.
It was at this time.
The food is here.
The cook is from the Prince of Chu's Palace, that is, the Prince of Chu's Palace is responsible for the meals.
Extremely delicious.
Excellent taste.
The eyes of Li Jing, Qin Qiong, and Cheng Yaojin who looked directly at him were bright.
His mouth made a smacking sound like "tsk tsk" crazily.
When had they ever eaten such a meal?
Even people like Cheng Yaojin who have been to the King of Chu have never eaten it.
However, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and the others glanced at them with great pride.
They have all eaten this dish.
In the past few days, the days spent in the Chu King's Villa over at Lishan Mountain were really comfortable to death.
but!
Even so, several people's mouths were really full of saliva.
Can't swallow enough.
"By the way, Miss Haitang, I want to ask, what is going on with this salt... this snow sand salt?"
"I heard from others that Kuan'er can make this snow, sand and salt. Is it true?"
At this time, Li Shimin suddenly stared at Shangguan Haitang with somewhat red eyes.
He knew very well that Shangguan Haitang had been with Li Kuan for a long time during these days and knew many things about Li Kuan.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes tightened.
Snow sand salt? !
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and others are already very familiar with this thing, but the others are a little confused.
This salt?
What is salt?
Why have you never heard of it?
Shangguan Haitang smiled softly. When talking about this thing, her eyes were extremely proud, she was proud of her Highness.
"Yes, these are all ways of publicity by His Highness. His Highness has a salt farm that specializes in producing snow sand salt."
"It's not very difficult to make."
"Before returning to Chang'an City, His Highness told me to inform you that His Highness plans to open salt farms throughout the Tang Dynasty. By then, every household will be able to eat such salt."
"Common people don't need to eat those jealous cloths anymore."
Shangguan Haitang said.
"this……."
When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes wrinkled.
"Isn't this snow sand salt expensive?"
"Miss Haitang, are you telling the truth? Can even the common people afford it?"
Li Shimin asked in surprise.
It's not surprising to Li Kuan that he knows how to make this salt.
However, this must provide food for every household...
hiss…….
In this case, Li Shimin didn't believe it.
In fact, it is a huge disbelief! !
How expensive is such salt? !
"Yes, Miss Haitang, we have never seen such salt, such good salt. Such salt must be extremely precious and can the common people afford it?"
"Yes, Miss Haitang, and there shouldn't be much of such good salt in stock, right?!"
"That's right, His Highness the King of Chu, although he said that the world is for the people, His Highness the King of Chu should not suffer too much. Otherwise, the ministers will really feel uneasy and have no face to face His Highness the King of Chu."
"That's right, Miss Haitang, please tell His Highness the King of Chu that if His Highness has this heart, I will be extremely grateful to the people of the world. His Highness the King of Chu has done so many things for the world. Look at the printing technology , look at things like sweet potatoes, and this snow sand salt, if it is extremely precious, His Highness the King of Chu should keep it himself."
"That's the truth, Miss Haitang."
"……."
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and others spoke one after another.
They can be said to be extremely clear about how precious snow, sand and salt are.
When they heard this, they were really frightened.
How much would it cost to buy such salt?
Although there is still a lot of inventory in the Chu King's Villa on the other side of Lishan Mountain, they have seen it with their own eyes, but! Those inventories don't seem to be much, but if they are to be supplied to the whole world, they will be a drop in the bucket.
Others, such as Li Jing and Qin Qiong who had never seen Xue Shayan, were at a loss and had no idea what Changsun Wuji and the others were talking about.
However, the next moment, when Shangguan Haitang asked the old man Yuan Tiangang, the housekeeper of the Chu Palace, to bring the salt and put it on the table, they were all stunned.
Damn it! !
Such salt! !
Absolutely amazing!
It’s really amazing! !
This... is really comparable to gold! !
Shangguan Haitang grabbed a handful with his little hand and held it in his hand.
Looking at Li Shimin and Sun Wuji's dissatisfaction, and then looking at the stunned people around him, he smiled softly.
"Your Majesty, this salt... is very simple, not difficult at all."
"Around Chang'an, according to His Highness, there are many salt mountains in those mountains."
Shangguan Haitang said.
"But, Miss Haitang, these salt mountains are inedible! They are all poisonous salt!!"
When Queen Changsun heard this, her heart immediately tightened and she quickly reminded her.
"Yeah, you can't eat that salt."
"Otherwise, the whole body will turn black and then die from poisoning."
Li Shimin also stared at Shangguan Haitang extremely nervously.
"Hehe... Your Majesty, you just ate it directly, but His Highness said that once those salt mountains are processed, they will be the best salt."
"It's just that no one has mastered this technology yet. Once it is mass-produced, the price will be very cheap. You can buy a lot for just one penny."
