Chapter 588: Fang Mou

More than 20 generals of the Tang Army in Li Shimin's military tent looked at each other, no one expected that there would be such a bloody and ruthless scene today, if it was an ordinary soldier who died, even if it was an item in the Tang Army, or even a four-rank general, they could accept it if they violated the military law and were beheaded by Li Shimin, but it was Li Mi who died, the master of Wagangzhai who once dominated the world!

In the last years of the Great Sui Dynasty, there was a long time when the most powerful and promising person to dominate the world was the person who was almost cut into two pieces. When he rebelled with Yang Xuangan in Liyang, Li Yuan was just a grain governor in Huaiyuan Town, and he led a grain guard captain from the fifth grade with the dignitary of the country, living cautiously, and he could even be said to be a man with his tail between his legs. When Li Mi led an army of 200,000 to besiege Taiyuan, Li Yuan was reused by Yang Guang and was named the ambassador of Xuanfu in Hedong Province, which was regarded as having some real power. is still more than a step behind Li Milai, and Li Yuan at that time may still need to look up at Li Mi.

Later, Li Mi was the lord of Wagangzhai, the peak of the army was not less than 500,000, and there was already the momentum of seizing the world and calling the emperor's industry, and the green forest righteous army on both sides of the Yellow River was mainly regarded as the main one, that is, Dou Jiande of Hebei, and Du Fuwei of Jianghuai should also respect him as the leader of the alliance. At this time, Li Yuan was still hesitating in Taiyuan whether to send troops to rebel against Sui.

Once the whole world thought that the proverb of the peach and plum was referring to Li Mi, who was the one who ended the rule of the Yang clan of the Great Sui.

Once people all over the world thought that Li Mi would cleanse the world, and all the anti-kings in the world would bow down to him, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei and others had asked Li Mi to be the emperor.

But who would have thought that such a generation of heroes would end up so bleak and sad?

Li Shimin's knife was too ruthless, and Li Mi didn't even leave a whole corpse.

Li Yuanji rubbed the corners of his sour eyebrows, looking at the second brother in front of him, who was once strange and is still strange, he knew that if he changed his knife, he would naturally be able to chop it, but he would never be as ruthless as Li Shimin. He remembered his father's confession before leaving, and he was a little uneasy in his heart, if he confessed to his father and asked, would this cheap second brother slash himself like Li Mi?

He didn't dare!

Li Yuanji thought about it and immediately determined that Li Mi was Li Mi, after all, there was his father's will, so it was reasonable for Li Shimin to cut it down. But even if Li Shimin is given a hundred dares, does he dare to raise a knife against himself?

Li Shimin rubbed the blood stains on the horizontal knife on Li Mi's corpse, and then put the horizontal knife into the sheath and coldly instructed the guards: "Drag this corpse out and chop it into mud with a knife, not only rebel but also try to assassinate the prince, such a felony is to chop him with 3,600 knives, if there is a whole piece of meat the size of a finger, I will try the knife with you!" Seeing that you are moving so slowly, where are you worthy of being a forbidden army? If it was a lone army, the soldiers would have been dragged out and beaten to death with sticks! ”

The forbidden soldiers didn't dare to answer, they just lowered their heads and listened, and then a few people grabbed the limbs of Li Mi's corpse and were about to drag them out, Li Yuanji covered his mouth and nose to block the smell of blood and said hurriedly: "Don't ...... If you want to chop it, cut off your head first and then chop it, I said second brother, do you have good craftsmanship in the army? How can these two halves of the skull have to be sewn together, otherwise how can I make a difference? ”

Li Shimin was stunned, took the handkerchief handed over by his own soldiers, wiped his hands, and said, "Since it is useful to keep it, then I will do things according to the orders of King Qi." ”

Several forbidden soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, dragging the bloody corpses out of the big tent. He also brought in wooden barrels and brought out the entrails of that place, and several soldiers came in with sacks of sand to bury the blood. After a while, there was no blood in the tent, but the smell of blood in the tent lingered.

After the soldiers cleaned up, Li Shimin turned around and asked Li Yuanji with a smile: "Yuanji, what else does my father have to order?" ”

Li Yuanji was frightened by his somewhat unpredictable words, but when he thought that Li Shimin would never have a chance to be arrogant in front of him in the future, he squeezed out a smile and said: "Father still has a few words for me to ask the second brother, but this can only be asked alone." ”

"In that case, then retreat all of you."

Li Shimin waved his hand.

His generals bowed and bowed, and then withdrew from the tent. Qu Tutong and Yin Kaishan, Fang Xuanling and the others looked at each other, and also turned to leave.

"What's the matter? Can't say it to them yet? ”

Li Shimin threw the horizontal knife on the table and asked with a smile.

Li Yuanji cleaned up his mood, cleared his throat and said, "Second brother, don't blame, my father asked me to ask you this." Therefore, according to the courtesy of the king, you should kneel down and listen to the question. ”

Li Shimin's face changed slightly, and then he nodded and said, "That's the case." ”

He lifted his robe and bent his knees and made a great salute.

"Ahem...... Shimin, I ask you, the eldest grandson Shunde was killed by you? Did he break the law of the country and the military law? If not, what do you have to say to me? ”

"Back to my father...... The eldest grandson, Shunde, was killed in battle and was loyal to the country. Erchen has already explained this matter in detail, who falsely accused Erchen of such a serious crime? Although the sons are dull, they also distinguish between right and wrong, know good and evil, and are loyal and treacherous, Uncle Changsun is an important minister of the country, and he is also the teacher of the sons, how dare the sons dare to do such a thing that does not respect the law of the country and disrespect the teacher? ”

"I ask you, do you know what's wrong?"

Because Li Shimin's answer was quite different from Li Yuan's expectation, this question was a bit abrupt.

"Erchen knows his mistake!"

Li Shimin raised his head and looked at Li Yuanji and said word by word: "The son's fault is that he failed to fulfill his duties, so that the traitors and villains in the court talk nonsense all day long to influence the sacred heart, and when the sons go back, they have to distinguish with those traitors in the main hall." Erchen is not cautious enough, so he should be more careful in the future. ”

This answer was extremely rude, so Li Yuanji's eyebrows immediately raised: "Second brother...... You answer like this, it's not good for me to talk about it to my father after I return to Chang'an. ”

"If you can, Yuanji, you just have to tell the truth."

Li Shimin smiled suddenly, making people a little unable to understand the meaning of his smile.

……

……

Li Yuanji was stunned, and the look of dissatisfaction on his face flashed. He looked at Li Shimin and smiled: "Father asked me to ask you, how you answered, I will naturally report it truthfully." It's just that my father had long expected that you would say this, so my father said, if you know your mistake, you should return to Chang'an with the Qin mission, and I promise you to ask for your own guilt. If I condemn sin...... I'm afraid you can't bear the weight! ”

"Did my father really say that?"

Li Shimin looked up and asked.

Li Yuanji sneered: "What, the second brother suspects me of falsely transmitting the holy decree?" ”

"Don't dare!"

Li Shimin lowered his head again and asked, "What else does my father have to say?" ”

Li Yuanji snorted and said, "Where is Li Jing?" ”

Li Shimin lowered his head and said: "Li Jing went to the nearby counties to collect grain and did not return. ”

Li Yuanji cleared his throat and said: "Forty-seven officials from the DPRK and China jointly reported that Li Jing had a disobedient heart, and his father and emperor have all approved it. Ben Qin sent Li Jing to be locked up for questioning, and if it was found that he had the intention of rebellion, he should be immediately beheaded. ”

"The minister will send someone to arrest Li Jing back!"

Li Shimin said.

Li Yuanji snorted and laughed: "Then second brother, you have to be faster, don't make me anxious to wait." It's too cold in your barracks, and I have to rush back to Chang'an to see my father. ”

"Naturally, there will be no delay, if you want Li Jing, Li Jing will be here!"

This was not said by Li Shimin, but from outside the big tent. Li Yuanji's face changed and he looked at the door, only to see Li Jing Shi Shiran, who was dressed in military uniform, walked in with the curtain raised, and he was actually smiling, seeing that he was also polite and arrogant. Li Yuanji shouted angrily: "Traitor! You are guilty! ”

"What is the sin?"

Li Jing asked rhetorically.

"Forty-seven courtiers jointly accused you of rebellion!"

"What's the trouble of wanting to add sin?"

Li Jing sneered: "It should also be the king of Qin's great things to be accomplished, Your Majesty may have made a mistake and actually sent you as a fool." It saves me the trouble to think of a way, and now that you are here yourself, do you still think you can go back to Chang'an safe and sound? ”

"Bold!"

Li Yuanji was furious, pointed at Li Jing and scolded angrily: "You pig and dog are not as good as a thing, you dare to insult Your Majesty!" ”

He turned his head to look at Li Shimin and asked, "This is the general under your command, second brother?" Second brother, if you don't give me an explanation, after returning to Chang'an, don't blame me for telling my father truthfully. ”

"You did."

Li Shimin looked at Li Jing and said, "Even if you want to say something, it's just a lonely way to say where to get you?" ”

Li Jing's face changed, and he thought that Li Shimin had changed his mind and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again!" ”

"Exactly!"

Li Shimin suddenly said loudly, and then grabbed the horizontal knife on the table, and without hesitation, he stabbed the knife into Li Jing's lower abdomen, the blade twisted back and forth, and he didn't know how many intestines were cut off and how many internal organs were crushed. Without waiting for Li Jing to react at all, Li Shimin's knife slammed up in his lower abdomen and opened a huge opening. Li Jing covered his wounds, staggered back a few steps, his face was pale, his eyes were incredible, looking at Li Shimin and asking in a trembling voice: "...... Why? ”

"The king wants the minister to die, how can the minister not die?"

Li Shimin said in a flat tone, and then he turned around and asked Li Yuanji: "Lord Qincha, what the minister did is right?" ”

Li Yuanji didn't expect Li Shimin to give Li Jing a knife so abruptly, looking at the hideous expression on Li Shimin's face, he subconsciously took a step back, and was forced to look at by Li Shimin's eyes, he was so flustered that he didn't know how to answer: "When ...... When so...... For such rebellious ministers and thieves, naturally they can't ...... No mercy. ”

"That's what the Chin Cha said."

Li Shimin said with a humble demeanor but a flat voice: "This person is indeed a chaotic minister and thief, that is, before you came, he told me that I would kill you and rebel, saying that only in this way can I grab the chair under my father's buttocks." He advised me to lead troops into Chang'an, besiege the imperial city, kill the crown prince, and force my father to abdicate in the name of escorting your body back to Chang'an. ”

"Madman, traitor!"

Li Yuanji was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, but he just scolded a few words indiscriminately, but his heart was in a mess.

"He's really a madman."

Li Shimin looked at the dying Li Jing and said: "Although this plan is good, there is a biggest loophole, Yuanji, you are naturally protected in our army, how can you die easily?" My father is not a fool, how can he allow me to bring troops back to Chang'an? Li Jing has been blindfolded by ambition and can't see it through. If you have to die, you have to have an excuse that sounds at least appropriate. Do you think...... When Li Jing listened to your decree, he suddenly burst out and killed someone, and then I cut him down. I knew that I was guilty of a deep sin, and I had no shame to face my father, so I ordered someone to lock me up in a prison car and escort me back to Chang'an with your corpse to ask for guilt...... Isn't that more reasonable? ”

In Li Yuanji's stunned and panicked sight, Li Shimin slowly walked towards him with a horizontal knife in his hand.

"Escorting the body of a prince and escorting a prince who has committed a serious crime naturally requires a lot of people to do it, and if the leader of the troops is still a person sent by his father, his father will naturally not suspect it."

After Li Shimin said this, he turned around and looked at Li Jing and said, "Are you unwilling?" In fact, you don't need to be unwilling, you are too conceited, and you always feel that you can't do anything if you are alone, but why don't you want to think about what you can do if you are alone? ”

After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, Yin Kaishan and Qu Tutong, who had a somewhat ugly face, opened the curtain and walked in, and the last one who came in was Fang Xuanling, who was praised by the prince for having the ambition to govern the country as a prime minister.

Li Shimin smiled and pointed at Fang Xuanling, and said softly: "Pharmacist Li, do you know him?" Your conceited scheming is unmatched, but Lone wants to tell you that this man's scheming is no worse than yours...... Maybe even stronger. After you returned to Chang'an, you sent someone to find Qiao Song, and it only took him half a day to come up with this plan, how does it compare to you? ”
