Chapter 267: Beheading

With Liu Kui's loud shout, the leaders of the various tribes and family members and cronies who were scattered in the cloak all ran out one by one.

Li Simo is wearing a Tang armor today, so he doesn't have to change his clothes, but seeing those former compatriots so unbearable in front of Li Chengqian, his heart is still a little sour.

But he still has some self-knowledge, knowing that they are not Li Chengqian's opponent right here and now, so he has to endure it for the time being.

As soon as the leaders of the various departments ran out of the venue, they were stopped by the guards of the East Palace and took them to comb their hair and change their clothes.

After Li Chengqian's military review and pressure were completed, he ordered the East Palace offerings brought by Liu Renliang to start performing "Renshou Palace".

Because "Renshou Palace" is a play to maintain orthodoxy and maintain Li Chengqian's status, and it is to expose the "crimes of Emperor Yang of Sui", it has always been very popular in Chang'an City.

After Li Chengqian left Chang'an, the East Palace did not rehearse new plays, so Chu Suiliang and others suggested that all the East Palace offerings rehearse "Renshou Palace", not only often performed in Chang'an City, but even sent people to Luoyang, Yangzhou, Jiangling and other places to perform.

Every time he performed, he did not forget to publicize some of Li Chengqian's virtues and policies, such as personally fishing for disaster relief, and planning to build library buildings all over the world.

Thanks to this, Li Chengqian's reputation in the entire Datang is changing for the better.

This time, many of the soldiers used by Li Chengqian to defeat Xue Yantuo were not the guards of the East Palace, and when Xue Yantuo was completely pacified, these soldiers would inevitably have to be returned.

Moreover, many of these officers and men made meritorious contributions in this war, and some of them were sent by Li Chengqian to the Military and Political Academy for further study, and others were also rewarded and promoted, and their support was very important to Li Chengqian.

So this time, Liu Renliang was urgently transferred to come and all the East Palace offerings, so as to act for these people and spread Li Chengqian's good name.

At Li Chengqian's order, the people who had long been ready to set up the stage hurriedly walked into the venue and quickly set up a stage in front of each phalanx and in front of Li Chengqian's high platform.

Because the 30,000 people and 10 squares did not have modern sound amplification equipment and shadow transmission technology, one opera could not achieve the ideal transmission effect, so Li Chengqian ordered that a stage be set up in front of the military formation, and one was also set up in front of the high platform.

When the leaders of the various tribes in the north and their family members and cronies combed their hair in a bun and changed into Tang costumes and then came to the square, the stage was singing about the benefits, and the sound of silk and bamboo in the square was mixed with the roaring voices of tens of thousands of soldiers, and the scene was very enthusiastic. They didn't know what was going on, and they thought that Li Chengqian was going to torture them again, so they bowed their heads and walked away in fright, not even daring to raise their heads.

was led by the chamberlain to the place where he was standing, and saw Li Chengqian on the high platform looking at them with a smile, and hurriedly lay down and saluted Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian just nodded and showed them to watch the play.

Although these people couldn't quite understand what was being sung on stage, they looked at the Datang officials on the left and were fascinated and forced to pretend to go to the play.

As soon as the performance of "Renshou Palace" was finished, it was almost noon, and Xu Jingzong presided over the removal of the stage.

After the three drums were beaten on the high platform, there was silence in the square, and Li Chengqian slowly got up and waved to everyone with a smile, which immediately caused tens of thousands of soldiers below to cheer and thunder.

Some people say that the status of soldiers in the early Tang Dynasty was very high, for example, Li Shimin often entertained with soldiers, but that could only be limited to some guards and nobles such as Qin Xunyi.

However, since these soldiers kept up with Li Chengqian, it is obvious to all that Li Chengqian loves the soldiers like a son, and he has no need to ask about clothing, food, and treatment for the wounded soldiers, and because of the use of alcohol and the popularization of medical and health care, many wounded soldiers who may have died in the past have miraculously survived.

These people really love Li Chengqian from the bottom of their hearts, and today Li Chengqian even gave him 10 big plays in a row, so that the officers and men of the whole army can watch them together.

Although some low-level soldiers were not moved to tears, a sense of pride and superiority in fighting for Li Chengqian had risen from their hearts.

Standing on the high platform, Li Chengqian looked at the thunderous soldiers below, and his mood couldn't help but stir, when Li Chengqian crossed over to the Tang Dynasty, he naively thought that as long as he disposed of Li Tai and showed some talent for governing the country, Li Shimin should treat himself as a treasure.

But after confronting some families in Guanzhong, he understood that if he was willing to do nothing in the East Palace, he would naturally be the best crown prince in the world, but as long as he wanted to change the Tang Dynasty, there was no other way than to establish military merits and cultivate his own power.

Some people may think that now that Li Shimin is in power, isn't it good for you to play in the East Palace for a few years?

Not to mention that there was a powder keg buried under the crown prince's seat, let's just say that Li Shimin, as the emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, waited for him to die, and many things became a foregone conclusion, and it was difficult for the emperor behind him to pry into the established interest groups that had been formed.

If you think about the difficult and bleak end of the reformers in history, and the fruits of the reforms are often the death of people, you can see how important it is to set the rules at the beginning of a dynasty.

Therefore, Li Chengqian decided to do something while Li Shimin was alive, first, to protect himself and his own forces, and second, to lay the foundation for his future accession to the throne and drastic reform for the emperor.

Therefore, Li Chengqian was very happy to receive these tens of thousands of military hearts during this period of time, and he waved his hand at the moment and said: "Kill the rebellion, and then drink wine and eat meat!" ”

It was impossible for Li Chengqian's voice to reach the ears of 30,000 people, so the nearly 1,000 soldiers standing around the high platform repeated their shouts several times in unison, until a group of guards escorted hundreds of Xue Yantuo nobles, including Zhenzhu Khan Yinan, to the front of the high platform.

Yi Nan and others have a good life these days, although they eat coarse tea and light rice every day, but they have enough sleep, so many people are full of energy when they walk into the square.

Yi Nan thought to himself that although he had been defeated and arrested, all his dreams had been shattered, but he could still live a stable life under house arrest in Chang'an like Geely, which was not necessarily bad for an old man, and of course he had to dance for Li Shimin at some ceremonies.

Yi Nan's generals even thought that they could become like Turkic generals and surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and they were still reused......

When Yi Nan walked to the front of the high platform and saw Li Chengqian, he couldn't help but roar at the guards beside him: "Ben Khan is the Great Khan of Xue Yantuo who was personally crowned by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, even if he was captured and danced, Ben Khan only danced to the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty. With that, his eyes rolled and he stood proudly.

This made Zhao Daoxing, the governor of the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion, who wanted to intercede for him, take two steps and had to retreat, turning his head and looking at Yi Nan who was dying speechlessly.

Li Chengqian wanted to laugh in his heart when he heard this, but he didn't make a sound on his face, and motioned to Xu Jingzong to announce the charges of Xue Yantuo and others, and then opened the knife and beheaded him.

Xu Jingzong wrote a four-six neat crime in order to show off his literary talents, and he read it very devotedly, and his voice was very emotional, but unfortunately most of the people in the square did not understand, including the hundreds of Xue Yantuo nobles who were about to be killed.

As a result, after reading the order to kill the head, they still didn't know what Li Chengqian was going to do, Li Chengqian couldn't bear to look at it, stood up and said directly:

"Xue Yantuo Yinan and his courtiers wolf son had the ambition to invade the Tang Dynasty, and now all of them have been arrested, and the crime is clear, and they will be executed immediately. Shave! ”

"Li Chengqian, you can't-" Xue Yantuo and the others understood this time, but before they could struggle, they were pressed to the ground by the guards around them.

"Bang", "ah-" There was a scream, a canopy of blood flew and a human head fell to the ground.

Then there was a repetition, and as hundreds of Xue Yantuo nobles' heads landed, the square was silent.

Li Chengqian got up and waved his hand to everyone, and said with a smile: "That's all for today, everyone eat and drink well!" ”
