Chapter 12: Slaughter
Extermination!
Hearing these two words, everyone's bodies trembled, and a chill hit their hearts.
When Li Shimin heard this, he did not show a shocked expression, but a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyebrows, five surnames and seven clans, as a big family standing impressively, except for the Li family in Longxi, the rest of the major families are all troubles of the imperial court.
For example, the Taiyuan Wang family, just a gate valve clan, how arrogant, not to mention other families, these people will only be harmful to the empire and not beneficial, Li Shimin has long wanted to eradicate it, but there is no reason, and now Wang Zhong colluded with the Xiongnu, which is just a good excuse.
However, as the Lord of Wisdom, how can he say these words?
Therefore, Li Yun said this for him.
Li Shimin looked at Li Yun, and his face could not hide the joy, but as a benevolent monarch, how could he be happy when he heard the word "extermination"? ! It should be covered up with all its might.
But all this can't escape Li Yun's deep eyes.
"Extermination? Is it too cruel? Li Shimin deliberately pretended to be benevolent and said.
Since Li Shimin wants a good person, then the bad guy has Li Yun to do a good job, Li Yun insisted on saying: "Father, the Taiyuan Wang family is entrenched in Taiyuan, and has always acted barbarically, bullying men and women, in the fish and meat township, the people dare not speak of their suffering, and now the Wang family is colluding with foreign thieves, intending to subvert the Tang Empire, such a big crime, the immortal clan is not enough to calm the people's anger, and being merciful to them is cruel to themselves, and the father must not give birth to benevolence." ”
"But ......"
"It's nothing good, father, you are just too merciful, that's why the Wang family is so arrogant, thinking that the king is loyal to the court and openly humiliating his father, such disloyal and unrighteous people, leaving their lives will only poison the people."
I have to say that Li Yun's sycophant shot is very good, and he praised Li Shimin as a benevolent and righteous king, and also belittled the Wang family by the way.
Even if the Wang family was wiped out, someone wanted to scold Li Shimin, and Li Shimin just listened to Li Yun's advice, the fault was Li Yun, and the merit was Li Shimin, in a word: the good guy is the Tang King, and the bad guy is the Yun King.
Li Shimin did not urgently agree, he was silent for a long time, and then said reluctantly: "King Yun's words, I have thought hard for a long time, and I feel very reasonable, but although the Wang family is guilty of escaping, it will not be able to kill innocent people after all, only the Wang family's own family will be destroyed, and the rest will be sent to the frontier." ”
The big crime of rebellion is to punish the three clans for the light, and the ten clans for the heavy, and now only the Wang clan is killed, which can also be regarded as light.
"Father's benevolence is really a blessing for the people of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Yun immediately kowtowed and praised, shouting Li Shimin's benevolence, in Li Shimin's ears, knowing that it was the other party's sycophancy, but he benefited quite a lot in his heart.
"King Yun, this matter will be handled by you."
"The retainers obey."
……

------
A few days later, a holy decree of the Tang King was handed down, and the entire Taiyuan royal family was completely shaken, Wang Zhong colluded with the Turks, and had already confessed, Li Shimin sent an army, led by Li Yun to the Taiyuan Palace, and personally slaughtered the rebels.
As a result, that day was a disastrous day for the entire Wang family, and the male heirs of the Wang family all died tragically.
And Wang Zhong's death was even worse, in order to kill chickens and monkeys, Li Shimin ordered Wang Zhong to be killed in a car in front of the vegetable market.
The courtiers of the Taiyuan Wang family were all indignant, and many of them wrote to the court, while Li Shimin used the charge of rebellion by the Wang family, and all the henchmen of the Wang family were killed, and a bloody storm began.
But all those who pleaded for the Wang family died tragically, and in just half a month, more than 1,000 people of the Wang family were killed, which was definitely the largest massacre in the second year of Zhenguan.
And before the patriarch of the Wang family died, he shouted angrily: "Li Yun, you slaughtered my Wang family, and you will not die well in the future." ”
Li Yun carried a butcher knife in his hand, stepped forward, and cut off the head of the Wang family in one piece, killing him instantly.
As for the others, all those who resisted were finally suppressed by the army, and all of them were torn apart and died.
It wasn't until the Taiyuan Wang clan was wiped out that the rest of the family suddenly woke up and let them see clearly the fact that no matter how powerful the family was, it was only one family after all.
The emperor, who holds the military power in the world, wants to get rid of himself, but he just needs a reason.
The extermination of the Taiyuan Wang clan made them understand a truth, they must rein in their wings, this Emperor Taizong is a person who came out of the battlefield, and he will definitely not be threatened by them, and the Wang family paid the price of exterminating the clan after threatening him.
……
The turmoil of the Wang family was soon drowned in the long river of history and gradually forgotten by people.
Since the retreat of the Turkic army of 200,000, there is a person who has once again come to the public's field of vision, and this person is the "Heavenly Evil Lone Star" - Li Yun.
Li Yun relied on the strength of one person, only 10,000 people, set up a suspicious plan to deter the Turkic army of 200,000, and then went to the bridge alone to scare off the Jieli Khan, so that the Turkic army retreated, saving the Tang Empire.
Who in the world has such resourcefulness and courage? There is only one answer, only Li Yuner.
For a time, Li Yun almost became a man of the year in Chang'an City, and the people no longer called him "Evil Star", everyone called him "Lucky Star".
Previously, Li Yun was only canonized as the king of the county, but he was not a prince.
After this incident, Li Yun's brilliant performance and the two great achievements made by eradicating the remnants of the Wang family made Li Shimin very satisfied, and Li Yun was directly canonized as the "Prince of Shuangzhu" by the king of the county.
Although he is the Prince of Shuangzhu, he is not as noble as the Prince Jiuzhu, but in just one month, the speed of promotion is staggering.
It was precisely because of Li Yun's favor in front of the Tang King that the princelings led by the eldest grandson Wuji were jealous and worried that Li Yun would endanger Li Chengqian's position.
This is not a good thing for Li Yun, and in the following process, he will inevitably be framed and impeached by the princelings.
Fang Xuanling had already told Li Yun about this, and Li Yun also understood this, and said: "Since you have chosen this path, you will not be afraid of any enemy, and you will have no regrets even if you die." ”
Since the death of his mother, he has no worries, and even if he dies, he will not regret the path he chose to take the heir.
Li Yun had already done everything and was waiting for the enemy's attack at any time, he knew that there would be no shortcuts on the road to the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and only by overcoming obstacles could he reach the peak of power.
Of course, this is a later story, and I will not say it.
Since Li Yun was named the "Prince of Shuangzhu", there are countless people who climb the mansion of King Lin Yun every day, which can be described as a city, compared with the previous door, it is really a world of change.
However, Li Yunjun turned away those visitors one by one, they were just a group of villains who saw the wind and steered, and there was no need to listen to their greetings and pat horses.
However, a visit from a person surprised Li Yun.
Don Vera!
Li Yun ordered the housekeeper to close the door to thank the guests, but Tang Zhenzhen came to visit, and before the housekeeper refused, she showed her identity, the queen's cousin, and Li Yun's cousin.
After hearing this, the housekeeper dared to offend, so he respectfully invited this aunt and grandmother into the door.
"Where is your lord?"
Along the way, Tang Zhenzhen looked left and right, and saw that the grandeur of Yunwang's Mansion was really shabby, and there was nothing precious, but it was just an ordinary mansion.
"If you go back to the county lord, my prince is in the study." The butler said.
"Yo, I can't imagine that a vulgar person like him still likes to read?" Tang Zhenzhen said that in her opinion, Li Yun was a martial artist with a bit of brains, but she didn't expect to be an elegant person.
The housekeeper shook his head and said: "The county lord is wrong, my prince is an elegant person, he loves books like life, I really don't know how people from the outside world say that the prince is a vulgar person." ”
Outsiders may not know anything, but the people in the palace know that as long as Li Yun has nothing to do, he will plunge into the study and see that he is a book-lover.
Not only that, Li Yun also planted plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum in the backyard of the palace, as well as tea trees, idle and idle, sitting quietly under the gazebo, drinking tea, enjoying the flowers, listening to the sound of bamboo, it can be described as full of elegance.
Listening to the next person's words, Tang Zhenzhen was quite surprised, and she became more and more curious about Li Yun.
Seeing this handsome and young young man, sometimes it gives people a sense of being scheming, but sometimes it makes people think that he is just a child.
According to his father, this son's strength is unfathomable, and even his father may not be his opponent.
And Li Yun on the bank of the Weishui River, with his own strength and one-man strategy, scared off the Turkic army of 200,000, such a feat is really impressive, so I can't help but go to find out, wondering where Li Yun is sacred?
Of course, Tang Zhenzhen's sudden visit naturally had other purposes.
"You step down first, I'll go to the study to find your lord." Tang Zhenzhen said to herself.
"County lord, I'm afraid it won't work now, because my prince is ......"
Hearing that the housekeeper didn't let her see, Tang Zhenzhen was immediately displeased, isn't it just reading? Could it be that there is something unsightly, so Tang Zhenzhen didn't wait for the housekeeper to finish speaking, but said, "Isn't it just reading?" How to see no one? If you don't let me go to the study, I'll go. ”
After that, Tang Zhenzhen walked towards the study.
When she came to the door of the study, Tang Zhenzhen didn't bother to knock on the door, and kicked the door open directly, and the moment she opened the door, she was dumbfounded.
In the study, Li Yun had just come out of the bathtub, undressed, naked carcass, and was actually looked at by Tang Zhenzhen, and Li Yun was also startled.
Immediately after, a woman's scream came from outside the study.
Yes!!
Tang Zhenzhen's face turned red, and she scolded angrily: "Hooligans!! ”
