Chapter 252: The Buddha Blocks and Kills the Buddha
For Li Tai, the so-called people in the book when he first saw them were actually just numbers.
But when this man was born in front of him, and then he was killed, he screamed.
And these people, maybe even not so long ago, were polite to themselves, and had a happy casual conversation with them.
Only now, everything is over.
The person turned into unconscious flesh and blood, and the bloody breath spread, as if even the air had become more humid, and there was a little more bloody gas.
The sound of this wailing is becoming less and less, only a few **** sounds occasionally, but Li Shimin is immovable, and seems to be deaf to it!
For Li Shimin, there is nothing wrong with eliminating those whom he thinks must be eradicated.
In the end, these Deng clan relatives have been besieged to the corner, one person next to them has fallen, and the rest of the people let out a roar, their eyes are red, they are holding weapons, and they are slashing wildly.
It's just a pity......
The weapons in their hands, for a well-trained hussar, were even somewhat ridiculous.
The hussars calmly swarmed up, slew the last man, and then took the long ge!
Someone tacitly pulled out the saber at his waist, this knife is not long, but it is longer than an ordinary dagger, after all, they have a bow and crossbow at a long distance, and a long brother at short range, this short knife is just for self-defense.
They walked back and forth between the corpses, and if they saw something abnormal, they would bend down and slash the neck of the person who was not yet dead on the ground.
For those who are not yet dead, this is a more pleasant way to die than to die slowly in endless pain.
In addition, a group of three or five began to patrol the Deng Mansion, looking for those who were hiding.
In this process, there was not even a blood-boiling shouting and killing, and there was no blood-pumping Jin Ge Iron Horse, everyone wearing a steel helmet and being wrapped in iron armor on their bodies, except for breathing, was extremely quiet, without any sound!
After only one stick of incense, someone pressed the handle of the knife on his waist and walked quickly to Su Ding, breaking the silence here: "I have already inspected, all the Deng men in the house have been punished, and there are still some women and children, temporarily take care of them." ”
Su Dingfang bowed his head, also entered the hall according to the handle of the knife, and saluted Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, you are humble and worthy of your mission." ”
"Good."
Li Shimin had already sat down in this hall and had a good time to drink tea.
This tea was sent by Zhang Qian, Zhang Qian's face was very calm, after Li Yuan ascended the throne as emperor in Chang'an, Zhang Qian has been serving Li Shimin!
At that time, Li Shimin was still only the king of Qin, and Zhang Qian had long been accustomed to Li Shimin's killing, but in the past few years, after Li Shimin became the emperor, such killing was restrained!
Therefore, the memory of seven or eight years ago was awakened, but Zhang Qian did not feel the slightest strangeness at this time, he just took advantage of the continuous wailing and screaming outside, tiptoed to pour tea and water to Li Shimin, and then stood aside, still without saying a word.
Li Tai, who was spread on the ground, shivered unconsciously, he had been extremely protected since he was a child, and he saw the cruelest side of Li Shimin for the first time.
His hairs stood up, his teeth were still trembling, he looked up at his father, looked at Chen Zhengtai, and looked at Su Dingfang, who was stained with blood, and an indescribable fear had surged into his heart.
He hurriedly got up from the ground, knelt down, and then kneeled to Li Shimin's feet, at this time he was ragged, covered in blood, but he couldn't care about anything, kowtowing like pounding garlic: "Father...... Father's life. ”
Li Shimin took a sip of tea very calmly, only glanced at him indifferently, and then said lightly: "You said that my Tang Dynasty is a royal family and people like the Deng family who rule the world." I'm telling you, you're wrong, and you couldn't be more wrong! If they dare to kill the people, dare to bewitch the prince, dare to use the name of the imperial court, and act for the tiger here, I will not hesitate to kill this Deng Wensheng. If the Deng family is all rampant in the township, then I will never frown when I punish it. Whoever wants to emulate the Deng family, this Deng family is their example today. ”
"What poetry and books heirloom, what Zhongding family, what valve reading, what wang family, what ancestral exploits, do you think I ...... Will you be afraid? I am fighting in the east and west, trying to dominate the world, and even today, I inherit the destiny of heaven, relying on the so-called world clan in your mouth, if the world clan is willing to obey and settle the people, I can allow them to continue the bloodline. But if they believe that they have the land and their knowledge, and try to blackmail me by using it, then I might as well let them die. ”
Li Shimin's words obviously did not have temperature, and Li Tai was cold in his heart when he heard it.
And Li Shimin was already suddenly up, and looked at Li Tai with disdain: "You...... Li Tai...... And so it is! ”
Li Tai felt that he had fallen into the abyss, and he thought that after a beating, his father was angry, and for the sake of flesh and blood, he begged for mercy a few more words, and he would always recognize his son.
But where did you think that you would be the same with this sentence, and then think of the Deng family's bones that are piled up like a mountain of corpses outside, doesn't it mean that it means: Even if you kill a Li Tai, it's not a big deal?
Li Tai's heart sank to the bottom, and the fear in his heart deepened a little, so he had to kowtow: "Erchen ......"
Li Shimin was too lazy to look at him, and after what had happened in the past few days, he seemed to have realized a very terrible problem.
Then, his face was slightly gentle, and he said to Chen Zhengtai: "Immediately spread my will, let those who built the river embankment go back." Immediately give Yangzhou Assassin Shi the meaning of me, let him release the grain in the treasury, and limit him to three days, if these grains cannot be delivered to the people, I will also punish him. After this incident, he deposed all the assassins in Jiangnan, and all the courtiers who wrote to Li Tai and praised Li Tai did not leave any of them, and they were all exiled for 3,000 miles and sent to Jiaozhou. ”
Zhang Qian couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is still in Yangzhou at this time, if you use heavy codes, slaves are only afraid of ......"
Zhang Qian expressed his concerns, but he was afraid that someone would jump off the wall in a hurry.
This is not a joke, none of these people are fuel-efficient lamps, don't look at them as docile as sheep in front of the emperor, but in front of the people, they are very incompatible. Now that His Majesty wants to exile them all, who can guarantee that they will do something stupid when they reach a desperate situation?
Li Shimin didn't have any scruples, and even had a disdain on his face, and looked around with a smile: "I'm just afraid that they don't have such courage, I have killed enough people, not bad for these hundreds of heads, you see that they still have a trilogy, and they have a heart to die, but in my opinion, they are just chickens and dogs, if someone opposes, give me a hundred people, I can directly take the head of the thief." ”
Zhang Qian didn't dare to say anything more.
Li Shimin's words are obviously not so simple as boasting, in his life, how many times have he been in danger, and how many times he has been ruined, but now he is still alive and well, where are those who have been against him?
At this time, Li Shimin said with emotion: "When I heard some of Chen Zhengtai's words, I always felt that he was alarmist, but when I saw him today, I realized that under the peace of my Tang Dynasty, there are many people's blood and tears hidden. ”
As he spoke, he closed his eyes, a look of pain on his face.
But soon, Li Shimin opened his eyes violently again, and said: "Go, accompany me, go to the river embankment for a walk, as for this Li Tai, immediately imprisoned, first taken to Jingshi, and ordered the punishment department to discuss his crimes." ”
Li Tai trembled suddenly, he didn't expect to discuss the crime!
He looked at Li Shimin pitifully, and opened his mouth to call his father, but soon, he remembered that not long ago...... When he was calling his father, Li Shimin showed disdain, so he hurriedly swallowed these two words back into his stomach and didn't dare to speak anymore.
Li Shimin didn't want to pay attention to Li Tai anymore.
What Li Tai did has touched his bottom line, and this is no longer a private relationship between the father and son of the heavenly family.
For Li Shimin, he has violated such a rebellion, and this sentiment is also cold, and people like Li Tai, the more he treats him as a son, the more he is outside, the more he has to use the name of the prince to stupidly recruit so-called celebrities to do things that destroy the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin is the Son of Heaven, and the Heavenly Family has no personal feelings.
Even if this was his beloved son, but at this moment, his heart was already cold, and whenever he had a little trace of wanting to be soft-hearted, he couldn't help but think of those more pathetic people in his mind, those people were not one, not people like Deng Wensheng, but tens of millions of people.
He stood up with a calm face, left Li Tai behind, and then left the Deng family under the guard of Chen Zhengtai, Su Dingfang and others.
This Deng family is now already shrouded in a layer of death, looking at the forest, and at this time, the Yangzhou Thorn History, who had already heard the news, together with the people of Gaoyou County, had already hurriedly taken the subordinate officials and stood outside the house with a dead face.
Li Shimin obviously had some impression of Wu Ming, the assassin of Yangzhou.
Yangzhou is not an ordinary place, here was the capital of the river, but it was one of the several capitals of the Sui Dynasty, this place is also the starting point of the Grand Canal, whether it is military or other value, although it is under Chang'an and Luoyang, but except Chang'an and Luoyang, there is no city comparable to it.
Therefore, when choosing the candidate for the Yangzhou assassin history, Li Shimin deliberately paid attention.
It's just that when the monarch and the ministers met at this time, after hearing about what happened in this house, Wu Ming, who was terrified outside, saw Li Shimin, and his face was like ashes.
He stumbled in front of Li Shimin, and said with his hands crossed: "Minister Wu Ming, I have seen Your Majesty, your ...... Ten Thousand Dead ......"
Li Shimin looked at him with a smile: "Three years ago, I asked you. ”
"Yes." Wu Ming bowed: "It was the beginning of spring in the second year of Zhenguan, and the ministers were the assassins of Yangzhou, and His Majesty summoned the ministers in the Taiji Palace. ”
Li Shimin said lightly: "What you said at the beginning was very much in line with my heart, I thought you were a very talented person who could take charge on your own." It's just that when we meet today, I feel that I am wrong, you are no different from other people, except that your eloquence is slightly better, that's all. ”
Wu Ming was already in a state of shock when he heard this, and his face turned pale with fright, and he just wanted to explain.
But Li Shimin had already turned over and took the lead in the direction of the river embankment.
Chen Zhengtai and others have also mounted their horses one after another, beating horses and obeying.
Wu Ming glanced back at the subordinate officials behind him, and someone whispered, "Where is King Yue?" ”
Another humanitarian: "I heard that Mr. Deng Wensheng is dead. ”
"Why is Your Majesty so angry?"
Wu Ming only felt his heart ached now, and he knew in his heart what His Majesty's judgment on himself would mean.
He was in a trance for a moment and stomped his foot violently: "It's useless to talk too much, Your Majesty is going to the river embankment, hurry, hurry up." ”
So everyone hurriedly chased after him.
The embankment is still the same, and people don't realize that a great change has begun.
However, before Li Shimin's arrival, someone had already hurriedly issued an order for the servants to disband and return to their hometowns.
When the servants here heard this, they all smiled and chanted long live.
People were in a hurry to leave, and there was a mess for a while.
In the distance, they saw a group of men and horses coming, and the servants stopped one after another, up and down the river embankment, and watched from afar.
Li Shimin got off his horse at the bottom of the embankment, and then led people to step on the mud and climb the embankment.
Li Shimin went up to the embankment on the one hand, and said to Chen Zhengtai who was following him: "I thought that the world was peaceful and the people could be better, but I didn't know that it had come to such a point, and in such a world, I still called myself a saintly monarch, which is really ridiculous." ”
Listening to the self-mockery in Li Shimin's words, Chen Zhengtai said: "Now that the teacher has known, it is a good start, which is better than how many generations stronger than still in the deep palace and thinking that the world is peaceful!" ”
"It's the first time that the students have seen such a tragic scene here, and to be honest, I feel really uncomfortable in my heart, and I always feel ...... I have done something that is not glamorous. ”
Chen Zhengtai's words actually hit Li Shimin's heart.
Yes, I am in the deep palace, clothed and fed, and praised by others, isn't it enough to be ashamed to see this today?
The people's hardship may be blamed on natural disasters and other aspects, but what happened in Gaoyou County, which one was not caused by his close relatives and the officials who were entitled? I have indirect responsibility, and if I want to shirk it, I can't shirk it.
Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh with emotion, looking at the yellow-skinned and thin men along the way, and when they saw their noble selves, they all hid to one side, trembling, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads, as if this fear was innate.
Many people were sweating profusely even though the weather was cool, so they took off their shirts and revealed their bone-like torsos!
The sunken body is shocking to see, the complexion on the body is dark, except for the muscles and bones, there is hardly a trace of flesh visible, only a layer of skin like the bark of an old elm tree is covered on the bones, the face is stiff and numb, only a pair of eyes, but how much can be seen in its heart.
Chen Zhengtai will never forget this look for the rest of his life, it is the kind of cowardice and fear like a frightened bird, which clearly reveals true feelings, but has no brilliance.
Chen Zhengtai had to admit that compared with the people in front of him, he really didn't look like he came from the same race at all, and even ...... It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a difference between humans and apes.
Li Shimin only stretched his face, but soon, suddenly stopped, he seemed to see a person, and pointed to the person: "Old man, we meet again." ”
The old man Li Shimin said in his mouth...... It was the old woman I met on the way here.
The old woman looked at Li Shimin incredulously, and she seemed to realize that Li Shimin's identity might be even more powerful than she imagined.
She still looked trembling and didn't dare to approach, after all, Li Shimin didn't give her a good impression.
However, Chen Zhengtai saw that it was her, and said to her with a pleasant face: "The old man doesn't have to be afraid. ”
This old woman seems to think that Chen Zhengtai is a person who can be approached, not as fierce and vicious as Li Shimin, even if she reluctantly shows a smile, it also gives people a sense of unapproachability.
She hesitates, then shudders as she steps forward in the mud, Rarity uneasy as she tries to say something.
Wu Ming and the other officials had already caught up, and when they saw the old woman like this, they flattered Li Shimin, and they were busy stretching their faces, and scolded the old woman: "Bold, when you see the Son of Heaven, you still don't salute?" ”
Sky...... Emperor......
Wu Ming's words were carried with deterrence.
So his voice is loud.
Suddenly...... Many people up and down the embankment listened.
The people here, even if they can't identify the countless official positions of the Tang Dynasty, but they are familiar with the word Son of Heaven.
In this world, is there a bigger official than the Son of Heaven?
This is the emperor, a figure like Tai Sui, a god who descended from the sky.
This is probably the case with the perception of the small people.
They are even more like frightened birds, reckless and cowardly to peep at Li Shimin.
It wasn't four eyes.
It's not very tall, it's much shorter than I imagined, shouldn't it be three or four feet long?
On weekdays, I don't know how many steamed cakes and hundreds of meters of white rice I have to eat a day, but I am just taller and stronger than ordinary people.
It's really a waste of so much white rice and steamed cakes.
The old woman was even more frightened.
Li Shimin was furious and wolfed Wu Ming.
Wu Ming was taken by Li Shimin's eyes, and his face was already as pale as paper, but Li Shimin was inconvenient at this time, he tried his best to calm his face, and then his eyes fell on the old woman, and said in a gentle voice: "Old man, you can go home today and take care of your bride." ”
"This ...... This embankment, no longer repaired? The old woman seemed to think that the words of the Son of Heaven in front of her might not be credible, and she suspected that she was in a dream.
Li Shimin shook his head and sighed: "Don't repair it, the terrain here is low-lying, if you forcibly repair the embankment, it's not worth it, and it will take a lot of manpower...... This is Borderlands. ”
The old woman didn't understand many words, and she always felt that Li Shimin's accent was weird, but she understood the words later: "This is the land of the Deng family, and there is obviously a master." ”
