Zhang Zhongwu pressed these two books and asked with a smile: "Do I still have time to read these two books?" ”

"Yes!" Li Zedao: "Frankly speaking, your future will definitely be difficult to escape the stab of the court, and your henchmen and subordinates will also be judged by the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone is responsible for what he has done, and no one is exempt. ”

Zhang Zhongwu nodded: "I have expected this, since I have chosen to rebel, then once I fail, it is inevitable that the clan will be wiped out." ”

"You're wrong again." Li Ze shook his head: "In the books placed in your cell, there should be the Tang Law that Chun Yuyue has just revised. Zhulian has been officially canceled. Among those in your family, those who are guilty should bear the responsibility for their crimes, and those who are not guilty, for example, those little girls in your family who do not go out of the second door, what kind of guilt can they have? Naturally, they will be released. ”

Zhang Zhongwu sighed: "It's better for them to die." Alive, I am afraid that I will suffer greater humiliation. ”

"Under my rule, this would not have happened!" Li Ze said lightly: "Of course, they will have to support themselves in the future." But in Wuyi, how many women are self-reliant? As far as I know, a widow in her early years raised two good sons just by selling bread, both of whom graduated from my Wuwei Academy, one has become a county magistrate, and the other is an official in the Criminal Department. ”

Zhang Zhongwu looked at Li Ze and said, "If you don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, aren't you afraid that in the future, my Zhang family will come to seek revenge on you again?" ”

"Don't be afraid, if they have the ability." Li Ze suddenly laughed: "Speaking of which, we are about to hold a conference of Yixingtang, above the conference, we will elect seven people to form a team to rule this country, among which the first one is called Shoufu, if this system is implemented well and can be adhered to, then in a few decades, if your descendants of the Zhang family have the ability, they may be able to sit in this position!" ”

"Aren't you afraid that someone will rebel and make your Yun Clan disappear?" Zhang Zhongwu asked with interest.

Li Ze laughed: "What's the use of rebelling against me? The emperor in the future is not like the emperors of the past, he does not have so much power in his hands, and it is more difficult to think about how to become the first assistant than to think about how to make the emperor. Besides, as long as I live, I don't think anyone can have the ability to rebel, I'm still young, I guess there are still decades to live, and while I'm alive, I will build this system deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ”

"I don't understand why you're doing this?" Zhang Zhongwu shook his head and said. "Although it sounds like there will be no greater motivation to rebel in the future."

"I've already told you before. Li Zedao: "We Datang people should look at the world instead of staring at the one-third of an acre in front of us. A family in the world, there are its inevitable hard wounds, if you meet me like a name that has never been seen in the ages, it is naturally a clear and clear rule, indomitable, no one will be our opponent, but what about after I die? Who can guarantee that my successor will be as wise as I am? ”

Li Ze boasted about himself, but Zhang Zhongwu rarely did not refute.

Because so far, Li Ze can indeed be called a wise saint.

"It's rare for Mingjun to meet, and the possibility of coming out of the faint monarch is extremely great." Li Ze said seriously: "I don't want me to bother with the prosperous era that Baal has built with great difficulty, and within a few generations, I will play with lanterns for fifteen miles, and the dwarf will go down the embankment, and one generation is not as good as the next." So I had to find a way to change that while I was alive. ”

"You think this can change?" Zhang Zhongwu said.

"Of course. Under such an electoral system, who can participate in the competition for these positions, which one is not the dragon and phoenix among the people? Wouldn't it be much more effective for a group of people to govern the country than to gamble on whether the emperor is a Ming monarch? Li Zedao.

"What if your Shousuke wants to rebel?"

"Every five years, at most two consecutive terms, then it will be replaced." Li Ze said with a smile: "Of course, there are many checks and balances, the state system is like a stacked bed, I limit the power of the emperor, and naturally there will be the power to supervise the first assistant." Shousuke is just the leader of this team, and he can't make a decision in one word. After I have overthrown the separatists like you one by one, the rest of my life's work will be to improve this system. ”

Zhang Zhongwu took the two books into his arms, nodded and said, "In this way, it is really possible for you Li Ze to be the first emperor of the ten thousand ages, if you succeed." ”

"Of course it will work!" Li Ze was full of confidence.

Zhang Zhongwu stood up: "This is the second time we have met, the first time we are on the bank of the Yishui River, we look at each other from afar, today is a formal acquaintance, listening to your words, there is a feeling that the thick fog in front of me has been removed, these two books, I will read them well, and when I am beheaded by you, I will be a ghost and die willingly." ”

Li Ze nodded: "Don't send it." ”

Zhang Zhongwu, who turned around and walked to the door, suddenly turned around and said, "Li Yan is dead, right?" ”

"Yes, after seeing you, I will go to Zhenzhou to see the Emperor Taishang on his last journey." Li Zedao.

"Li Yan's death has a lot to do with the Xiang family, as far as I know, they want to use Li Yan's death to assassinate you." Zhang Zhongwu said: "When the Xiang clan sent someone to contact me, he implicitly mentioned this matter. ”

Li Ze was a little surprised: "Why are you telling me this?" Don't you want me dead? ”

"I failed, but I still consider myself a hero." Zhang Zhongwu laughed and said: "If Xiang Xun succeeds and really kills you, I will inevitably be controlled by those flies and flies in this world, and I don't like it." Moreover, I am very eager to see the feeling that the Tang people you mentioned can be proud to be a man in any corner of the world. ”

Li Ze nodded slowly: "Thank you for your advice, but Xiang Xun is a fly and a fly, do you think these indiscriminate moves will be useful to me?" You're in control. ”

"Sure enough, it's the same as I guessed, even if I didn't say it."

"But I still want to thank you, so I can promise to choose how you want to die!" Li Zedao.

"The eldest husband should not eat Jiuding when he is born, and he should cook Jiuding when he dies!" Zhang Zhongwu said: "I chose to be beheaded with a knife on the execution ground, and let you kill chickens and monkeys, it can be regarded as me doing something for your new world!" I also thank you for promising to give me a fair evaluation of Zhang in the history books. ”

"This is a monkey killing!" Li Ze shook his head and knew: "In that case, I will meet your requirements."

Zhang Zhongwu left proudly, but behind the screen, Gongsun Changming, Chen Wenliang, Liu Ruyan and others came.

"This person is arrogant, he can indeed be regarded as a hero, if I had been born decades earlier, I must have tried to find a way to cage this person as a subordinate, now, it's a pity!" Li Ze shook his head slowly.

"In the early years, this person was really arrogant, but unfortunately he was finally blinded by power!" Gongsun Changming also shook his head and sighed: "If he can't afford to be so ambitious, he and Gao Biao can really become the twin heroes of the Tang Dynasty and continue their lives for the Tang Dynasty for a few more years." ”

"Then it's none of my business!" Li Ze said with a smile. "This person doesn't have to be locked up in a prison, find a place to settle him, if you want to go out for a walk, it's okay, let him take a good look at our Wuyi prosperity before he dies, this world, this people, should live like our Wuyi people."

"Okay, I'll arrange it!" Gongsun Changming nodded.

"How are things going in Zhenzhou?" Li Ze asked, "Tomorrow, we should set off." ”

"All the forces are in place." Gongsun Changming said: "This time, the extermination operation is mainly carried out by the internal guards and the Weiwei Temple, and in addition, the reorganized Chengde wolf cavalry led by Cheng Yong has also returned secretly. Coupled with these more than 1,000 guards around you, it is more than enough to clean up these people. ”

Li Ze nodded and smiled: "This time back to Zhenzhou, we will send the Emperor Taishang on the last journey, and it is also the last journey to send the old Datang, from then on, Datang will enter a new era, a new Datang, will be reborn in this world." ”

Everyone in the room was solemn.

There was nothing to say all night, and at dawn, Li Ze led the civil and military ministers in Wuyi to set off in the direction of Zhenzhou.

At this time, Zhenzhou is already well versed. The shops were closed, the bazaar was closed, and every household hung up white flags according to the requirements of the government, and the fluttering snow made the entire Zhenzhou City a plain white world.

In the palace, Xiang Lan looked at the snowflakes flying outside the window, and her face was crimson. On the bed behind her, there was another young man with fiery red faces. This person is Li Ke's stand-in.

Xiang Lan's face turned red because she was excited in her heart.

And the fake Li Ke's face was red, but it was because the person was having a fever. In order to make the fake Li Ke really sick, this person was first forced to sweat profusely in the winter, and then he was naked and frozen outside for half a night, and now he is really speechless, so he can only lie in bed and be semi-unconscious.

It can only be like this, otherwise Li Ze will inevitably see the little emperor for the first time when he comes to Zhenzhou, with Li Ze's familiarity with the little emperor, I am afraid that he will find out at a glance that this is a fake, and now this fake is infected with the cold, even if Li Ze wants to take a look, those imperial doctors under his command, such as Jin Yuan Yanjiu and others, will never allow Li Ze to step into this room for half a step.

"This Datang is about to enter a new era!" Xiang Lan stretched out her hand to catch a snowflake that drifted into the window, and said in a low voice.

The fake Li Ke behind him groaned a few times in pain, glanced back at Lan at him, smiled coldly, and walked out of the house. Anyway, after the incident, everyone will die.
