Chapter 480: The King of the North

Li Shimin looked at the ministers with a smile: "Why not?" ”

He looked at this Lu Deming with a playful look, and then said, "Could it be ...... Am I wrong? Or...... In this Tang Dynasty, I want to be rewarded and punished, do I still have to decide to the Qing family? ”

Lu Deming hurriedly shook his head: "The minister is just ...... Just ......"

"You're just ......" Li Shimin paused for a moment, and suddenly his eyes became fierce: "You just want me to obey you, otherwise, I will be a faint king, if everything does not go your way, I will be the second Emperor Yang of Sui." If I don't listen to you, I will naturally be the king of the lost country. But I want to ask, if I obey you in everything, then...... In the end, between you and me, who is the ruler and who is the minister? Lu Qing's family is right in everything, so why don't I give you the emperor's throne, how about it? ”

When Lu Deming heard this, he shuddered, these words were really too damaging, he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and hurriedly said: "Minister...... The minister is also ......"

Li Shimin said neatly: "What is it?" Is it for me too? Is it my son who is easy to deceive, or am I easy to deceive? ”

"What?" Lu Deming looked at Li Shimin in surprise, and at this time he already felt that a danger was quietly approaching.

The sin of deception?

Lu Deming said: "Minister...... Ten thousand deaths. ”

Li Shimin looked at him indifferently: "Ten thousand deaths...... Still standing? ”

In fact, Li Shimin's body is very weak, and every word he says is followed by the sound of panting, which is clearly that his body is overwhelmed.

But...... In Lu Deming's opinion, Li Shimin gave him pressure like Mount Tai, and he felt that the weak person in front of him made him breathless!

When Lu Deming heard this, he actually knew it...... Your Majesty, this is insulting yourself.

Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated!

I, Lu Deming, a scholar of the Tang Dynasty, a doctor of Guozixue in the Tang Dynasty, a protΓ©gΓ© and a former official all over the world, are from a famous family, how can I be insulted like this?

He subconsciously wanted to raise his head and look at Li Shimin, and then put on a sneer, expounding the truth about Confucius and Mencius, or follow the example of Bigan, iron-clad.

Can...... At the same time that this thought was born, his body reacted differently, and he knelt down directly and prostrate on the ground......

And this moment of bending the knees.

The ministers were all silent, watching all this in silence.

Li Shimin lowered his head and looked at Lu Deming on the ground, with a coldness on his face.

Lu Deming's eyes were red, and at this time, he ...... He found that no matter what he said, it was going to be insulted, and His Majesty's words, the killing intent was already very obvious.

So Lu Deming took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "Minister...... Ten thousand deaths! ”

Obviously, in the face of life and death, face is not very important!

The word ten thousand death, he said that he was weak, and Lu Deming at this time was like a dog with a broken spine.

Li Shimin glanced at the ministers, and the ministers' eyes dodged.

Li Shimin said: "If you dare to do this again, you will never be spared." ”

What he said was not serious, but it was deeply remembered by everyone.

Li Shimin immediately said to Chen Zhengtai: "I heard that Zhang Liang's comrades have won a lot? ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "This person has 500 righteous sons, in addition, there are many henchmen and cronies, and there are more than 1,000 people involved in this matter. ”

Li Shimin said: "Bring those rebellious ministers and thieves." ”

Chen Zhengtai thought to himself, I didn't arrest him, where should I go to detain him?

But Zhang Qian on the side seemed to be prepared, and he glanced at a eunuch.

The eunuch hurried away, and it was not long before ...... Then I saw that the guards were escorting a group of people, the size of hundreds of people, all tied with ropes like strings of grasshoppers, all of them looked depressed, and their faces were like ashes.

Zhang Qian has brought a seat to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin sat down, but said: "I have always heard that the sharpest thing in the Tiance Army is firearms, but I have never seen with my own eyes how the firearms training of the new army is, so I might as well ...... Give me a try today. ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Zhengtai suddenly understood something.

Dare to love Your Majesty and Zhang Qian have already discussed?

Chen Zhengtai said: "Your Majesty, in fact, ...... New...... No, what the Tiance Army is best at is artillery, and this cannon will ......."

Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai with a smile: "Okay, I want to see it with my own eyes." ”

"This ......" Chen Zhengtai felt that he had raised the bar again.

Your uncle, this artillery can't be used in the palace, Your Majesty's Taiji Palace is still a little narrow, you can't blow up your Taiji Palace and make you a new one, no matter how rich he is, he can't waste it like this!

So Chen Zhengtai smiled dryly: "The artillery is very powerful and cannot be used lightly. ”

The ministers didn't know why His Majesty would let people escort the death row prisoners to come, and for a while, they whispered, but they always had fear in their hearts, and they always felt a bad premonition.

Chen Zhengtai had already trotted in front of Su Dingfang and the others, and whispered, Su Dingfang suddenly understood.

So, with an order, the Tiance Army, which was standing straight and not moving at all, suddenly began to change formations.

Hundreds of death row inmates, crying or begging for mercy.

And the infantry battalion was out of the ranks, they began to charge their firearms, the death row prisoners were dozens of paces away, at this time did not know what the fate of the greeting was to them, as if by luck, someone found that they had entered the palace, and there were people in crowned robes in the distance, and they knew that the Son of Heaven was coming.

They seemed to have grasped the last straw, and some people said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we have been deceived by Zhang Liang, please forgive Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin only pursed his lips and sat upright, without the slightest expression on his face, his eyes closed, and he looked calm and calm.

It seems that because the emperor has been doing it for a long time, more and more people have forgotten what Li Shimin originally relied on.

At this time, Su Dingfang yelled: "Prepare ......"

So the soldiers of the infantry battalion of the Tiance Army, who were arranged as long snakes, began to quickly reload the gunpowder, and then inserted the iron bar, and after filling the gunpowder, loaded the projectile.

Immediately, a musket was raised.

The infantry battalion was three thousand people, divided into six columns.

Five hundred men lined up, five hundred muskets with swarthy muzzles pointed in a distant direction.

"Launch!"

Bang bang bang......

Gunfire erupted.

The tied death row inmates heard the gunshots, and before they could react, many people were bleeding in an instant, and the projectiles quickly penetrated the people's bodies, and some people staggered and then fell.

Those who did not fall were like frightened birds, they desperately wanted to run, but unfortunately, they were all strung together by ropes, and everyone was huddled together, regardless of direction, but was pulled by the people around them and couldn't move.

So, some people began to scream and howl.

But when the first column fired, it immediately retreated in unison, and the second column quickly filled the gap in the first column, raised the gun, and banged it......

The interval between shots is just a moment's work.

Then came the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth columns.

Gunfire erupted.

Not far away, death row inmates are standing less and less.

But after this continuous fire, the first column was already loaded, and they stepped forward, and continued to fire like a storm.

Round after round of volleys, endlessly.

And the sound of this gunshot, accompanied by the smell of gunsmoke, has made the ministers change color.

They were horrified to hear this thunderous sound, and saw that the sky above the army that day was already filled with gunsmoke, and they could already smell some of the pungent smell of gunsmoke.

What was even more terrifying were those death row inmates, hundreds of whom had fallen to the ground in all directions, bleeding profusely, some of their bodies were still convulsing, and their screams were getting weaker and weaker.

This Lu Deming, who was kneeling on the ground...... His body tensed with the sound of gunshots, and he subconsciously held his head, trembling all over.

Many people can't help but feel that their feet are a little soft when faced with such a scene.

Even that Zhang Qian felt that his heart and liver were beating wildly with the dense shooting, and he kept his body tight, and he didn't dare to come out.

Only Li Shimin has been calmly overlooking all this, and he has no expression on his face.

Until everything calmed down, Su Dingfang stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, five hundred and thirty-six death row prisoners have all been executed." ”

Li Shimin raised his hand, but said, "Only five hundred and thirty-six people?" ”

What is the ...... It gives a biting chill.

Zhang Qian hurriedly said: "There are also some sinners' family dependents, and all of them have been filled into the Teaching Division. ”

"Oh." Li Shimin said lightly: "But I don't think it's enough." ”

As he spoke, he turned his gaze, and his gaze fell on the ministers who were already panicked, and said coldly: "Isn't there Zhang Liang's henchmen in this court?" ”

These words immediately made many people's faces a little pale.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The people who were glanced at by Li Shimin only felt that their backs were cold.

What are these words......

Look at what Your Majesty said......

Zhang Qian said: "Otherwise...... Slave and maid to check again? Come to think of it, there will definitely be fish that slip through the net. ”

Li Shimin said lightly: "We must investigate thoroughly!" Don't spare one, let one go today, and he will ...... tomorrow This is the great danger of the henchmen. ”

Zhang Qian hurriedly said: "Huh." ”

Saying that, Li Shimin wanted to stand up, Zhang Qian hurriedly supported Li Shimin, but saw that after Li Shimin stood still, he waved his hand and ordered him to retreat.

And Li Shimin walked a few steps with difficulty, and the ministers hurriedly lowered their heads, all of them obediently waiting for Li Shimin's reprimand.

Li Shimin said: "You guys, don't always say such alarmist words that the world is going to die, this Tang Dynasty can't die, there are Tiance troops here, there are so many tigers, and there are countless people who want to live and work in peace and contentment, how can they die because of your mouth?" If you want to die in this world, you have to be like those death row prisoners. ”

Li Shimin pointed to the countless corpses lying in a pool of blood in the distance, and said coldly: "To imitate them, exchange your own life, without 100,000 million human heads, my Tang Dynasty is as stable as Mount Tai." Do you know all about it? ”

At this time, the ministers had already smelled the bloody smell in the distance, and many people were so frightened that their faces turned pale and trembled.

Many of these people have been on the battlefield, but it is the first time they have seen such an efficient killing like slaughtering pigs and dogs today.

That bloody scene is still there, but it has to make people feel palpitations, hearing His Majesty shouting and asking, where do you dare to say more? They all said: "What Your Majesty said is very true. ”

Li Shimin immediately lowered his eyes and glanced at Lu Deming, who was still prostrate on the ground, trembling with a frightened look.

Li Shimin said lightly: "Lu Qing, get up, it's cold on the ground." ”

But Lu Deming refused to get up.

Li Shimin's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said angrily: "Get up!" ”

"Minister...... The minister's legs are weak and he can't get up. Lu Deming said with a crying voice.

At this time, I am not afraid of being embarrassed, after all, life is more important!

So he was set up, and he barely stood still.

Li Shimin looked at him meaningfully: "Lu Qing's family is a master, and he is rich in five cars, and I have something to ask, you see...... Chen Zhengtai has made great achievements and is crowned the king of the county, but what is unsafe? ”

Lu Deming's face was pale, but he didn't dare to hesitate, and nodded busily: "This is well deserved, and only by believing in rewards and punishments can we convince people's hearts, Your Majesty's move, isn't it a clear reward and punishment?" In this way, only those who are loyal are willing to serve the court. And those with bad intentions will be afraid of being punished severely. The world is naturally in order, so ...... The minister thought that Chen Zhengtai's title of king of the county not only made the people of the world happy and convinced, but also ...... And ......"

Li Shimin saw that he was searching his intestines and scraping his stomach so hard, and finally waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, I understand what you mean, since even you said so, it can be seen that this decision I made is right, Lu Qinggao!" It's just that...... If you want to be crowned, what should you call the king of the county? ”

"This ......" A little cold sweat had already broken out on Lu Deming's forehead, and he thought about it head-on: "Chen Zhengtai is loyal and righteous, the Chen family built a city in Shuofang, might as well make him the king of Shuofang?" The word Shuo, which means the meaning of cold, and the cold comes from the north, the original meaning of the word Shuo Fang, naturally the meaning of the north, Chen Zhengtai guards the north, for my Datang northern barrier, with this as the title, there is the meaning of the north of the screen, I implore Your Majesty to see it. ”

"It's worthy of being a great Confucian." Li Shimin bowed his head, and he said lightly: "The king of the northern realm?" That's fine, Chen Zhengtai, do you think what Lu Qingjia said is reasonable? ”

Chen Zhengtai felt that he was still very thin-skinned, and said: "What kind of credit are these sons and daughters, how can they be ......?"

Li Shimin interrupted him coldly: "Talk about people." ”

Under His Majesty's displeasing gaze, Chen Zhengtai immediately said: "Erchen thanks Your Majesty for your grace, such love, Erchen must remember it." ”

Li Shimin nodded, satisfied, and then said to the ministers: "What objections do the Qing family have?" This is not a trivial matter, and it is necessary to work together, lest some people say that I am arbitrary and do not listen to people's advice. ”

The ministers glanced at Lu Deming dumbly one by one, and then still fell into a deathly silence.

Li Shimin frowned: "Don't speak?" Do you think I'm doing something wrong? ”

"Your Majesty is reasonable, and the ministers are impressed."

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty......"
