Chapter 36: Killing Chickens and Monkeys

"Gao Ming, you take Qingque to deal with the affairs of the East Palace, Lizhi, Yi'er, let's go" After eating, Li Shimin explained, and he was going to leave with the two little girls, because the East Palace would clean up some people in a while, Li Shimin didn't want his young daughter to see this, so he wanted to take them with him.

"Father, Xiao Yi'er doesn't want to leave, Xiao Yi'er still wants to play the slide with her brother, I didn't play just now, is my father okay, let Xiao Yi'er stay" As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Xiao Yi'er, who had been thinking about playing the slide, stopped doing it, holding Li Shimin's legs and kept coquettish.

"Dad, let Xiao Yi'er and Lizhi stay! Just let them stay in the back garden, and they will be fine" As a standard sister control, seeing Xiao Yi'er like this, of course Li Chengqian couldn't bear it, and said to his father.

"Second brother, Xiao Yi'er and they want to play here, the concubine just stays and takes care of them, you just go and get busy" Seeing that Li Shimin was still hesitating, she couldn't bear to see the eldest grandson of the two little girls who were sad, and she was also worried about whether her eldest son could handle the affairs of the East Palace, so she spoke.

"You little girl, I really can't do anything about you, it's okay to stay, but you have to be obedient and obedient, you can't run around" In the end, Li Shimin thought about it and agreed to let the two little girls stay.

"Thank you father, father is the best, thank you to the queen mother, thank you brother" Seeing that her father agreed, Xiao Yi'er happily hugged Li Shimin and called sweetly, and did not forget to thank the eldest grandson Wujian and Li Chengqian who spoke for her.

"Go ahead! Father is gone," after speaking, Li Shimin left the East Palace with Wang De and a group of guards.

When Li Chengqian and the others sent Li Shimin away, his wife took the two little girls and Li Zhi to the back garden.

"Big brother, what are we going to do now" Seeing that there was no one in the lobby of his eldest brother and himself, the little fat man Li Tai asked Li Chengqian.

"What else can I do, of course I'm going to take you to clean up some ground rats" said Li Chengqian endured the hot pain in his buttocks and limped out of the lobby.

At this time, the East Palace has already become a rumor, the blood is monstrous, in no place in the East Palace, there are Zhang Gao's people with a hundred horses to arrest people for interrogation, and those who dare to resist are killed on the spot.

After a while, Zhang Gao came back with someone, and knelt respectfully in front of Li Chengqian, "Your Highness, the ground mouse you want, except for some people who resisted, the other old slaves have been brought to you, please send it"

"You minions are really good, Zhang Gao and they will be handed over to you, beaten to death" Looking at the nearly 100 eunuchs and palace maids and guards below, Li Chengqian coldly ordered Zhang Gao.

"Your Highness, although some of them have said the people behind the scenes, there are still many who have not been said, are they being tortured strictly, in excluding" Zhang Gao didn't expect Li Chengqian to let himself call people to kill these people after just one glance, although he was very surprised, but Zhang Gao thought about it and reminded his master, this is not asked, it is good to kill them.

And when those people heard Li Chengqian's words, they kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, spare your life, the little one is from the Duke of Qi Mansion who came up to wait for His Highness, begging His Highness to spare his life" A guard begged loudly, after all, in his mind, he didn't make any mistakes at all, he just told Qi Guogong what he saw, and Qi Guogong was still the uncle of His Royal Highness the Prince.

"You can't even tell whose dog it is, what's the use of keeping you, Zhang Gao is here to do it, so that those slaves know who is in charge of this East Palace, and whose minions they are" Li Chengqian finished coldly, sat on the chair brought by Xiao Anzi, and looked coldly at the kneeling people who kept kowtowing.

"Do it" Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Zhang Gao did not hesitate, and immediately asked people to do it.

After receiving the order, those hundred horsemen with big sticks in their hands hit the group of betrayers, and they beat them very measuredly, not to kill them at once, but to find a non-lethal place to fight first, after all, they remembered that the prince's order was to be beaten to death.

"Big brother, that guard was sent from my uncle's house, it's not good to be killed like this" The little fat man Li Tai saw his eldest brother acting like this, and asked.

"Fourth, you have to remember, no matter who sent it, as long as he dares to betray you, then this person can't stay, and our good uncle didn't have any good intentions, and he forgot, I am not only his nephew, but also the prince of the Tang Dynasty, so blatantly planting people in my East Palace, what do you say he wants to do" Li Chengqian said and looked at the little fat man Li Tai.

"This, this, I don't know, but big brother, it's not that you don't want to be the prince, they can't pass on some well, isn't this really what you want" Li Tai thought for a while, and asked himself in confusion Big brother.

"How can you not know that my uncle just wants to rely on the relationship between our old mother and want to put one of our three brothers on the throne in the future, so that his eldest grandson will continue and not leave the center of imperial power.

But you have to remember, even if I don't sit on this throne, any of you who ascend the throne must remember that this world is my Li family, and my Li family's things, no one can control it, even if you have great hatred, you can't do anything to kill your own brother, because if the royal family withers, then these ministers and relatives will drive my Li family down at any time.

As for what you said, I don't want to be the prince, it's not better to keep them, then you think wrong, whether I want to be the prince or not, it's our dad who has the final say, I have the final say, I want them to know, they can know, and they can do what I think, I don't want them to know, then they can't know, you have to understand this" Saying that, Li Chengqian didn't care, the little fat man Li Tai who was in a state of confusion, but looked at the unadult-type eunuchs and palace maids and guards who were beaten below.

Looking at them under the sticks, the constant cursing and begging for death, although Li Chengqian felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he didn't want to treat life like a mustard like this, but he had to do it, because he wanted people to know that he Li Chengqian was not easy to mess with, and the news of the royal family was not something that anyone could know at will, and at the same time told those subordinates that if they entered the door of the East Palace, whoever dared to betray would have to die, so he could only watch indifferently.

"Big brother, I still have one more thing now, I don't understand, why you didn't even ask before, and let people beat them to death" When Li Tai came back to his senses and looked at his eldest brother, he had a feeling that he couldn't speak, the kind of feeling that only had in his father, and he still couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask his eldest brother.

"What's the use of asking, these people are nothing more than those five surnamed seven families and some powerful ministers, and I don't plan to deal with them, just give them a warning, and these people are warnings, okay, there's nothing wrong here, let's go to the back garden together" After speaking, Li Chengqian limped to the back garden.
