"Successive rulers like to whitewash, even as the greatest leader of the Tang Empire, Li Shimin is not exempt from vulgarity, although after he ascended the throne, he built China into the most powerful country in the world, and also had an important impact on China's global hegemony in later generations, but the flaws are not concealed, history can not be judged without merit, Just like the great pioneer Xu Yang once commented on Li Shimin, he said: 'A person's life always needs a summary, if ordinary people can achieve five points of merit, it is not easy, and my evaluation of the Majesty Xià is seven points of merit and three points, this is what Guigu said, there is no exaggeration......

Li Shimin did bring China into a new history, but he seized power, killed his brother, forced the throne, and even destroyed the four eastern countries in middle age, all of which reflected the evil side of his nature, ruthless and cold-blooded, and untrustworthy, these are all aspects of Li Shimin's life, and he himself obviously knows his own mistakes, so in the history books, he tried his best to exaggerate and whitewash, smear the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and elevate himself, when invading the four eastern islands, he claimed to have been assassinated in Mount Tai, and the assassin was from the island country, so he had a reason to send troops.

However, in any case, the islands in the east belong to the Tang Dynasty, and the people of the Tang Dynasty will ultimately benefit, and this emperor through the ages has used his humanity and reputation in exchange for the long-term peace and stability of the people of later generations, and which is right and wrong can only be commented on by history......" - excerpt from "The Good and Evil of the Emperor: Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty......

Feng Chan's convoy was mighty, from Linpu County at the foot of Mount Tai to the spiral mountain ladder. The endless stream was full of Li Er's entourage.

After coming out of the city. Li Er no longer took the jade chariot. Instead, he took a carriage instead, and Feng Chan prepared a total of thirty very luxurious and exquisite carriages this time, just so that Li Er could change at any time.

When entering the Taishan Mountains, Li Er secretly summoned Fang Xuanling, Eldest Sun Wuji, Xu Yang and others into his carriage.

"How are you preparing for this assassination?" Li Er stared at a few people with narrow eyes and said.

"Returning to His Majesty, now that Xue Rengui has completely controlled the more than sixty people, and if he travels another fifteen miles ahead, he will cast the boulder according to the signal agreement, and use the stone as the number. The assassins who had already prepared for the Hundred Cavalry Division would capture all the assassins, and then after Tarzan was enshrined, he would use this as an excuse to directly send troops to Goryeo, Baekje, Wa, and Silla. The eldest grandson Wuji half-squinted his eyes and said gloomily.

Xu Yang didn't react for a while, when was this plan?

Seeing Xu Yang and Fang Xuanling's surprised expressions, Li Er also laughed and said, "My plan has even hidden Guiguzi, but it is a bit interesting. ”

Xu Yang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, the minister only knows that this assassination is to send troops to Goryeo." When will the remaining three kingdoms be attacked? ”

Li Er lay down on the backrest of the carriage and said confidently: "I heard some time ago that there are large-scale silver mines on the four northern islands. Itching, he decided to send troops to conquer, and then mine its silver ore to supply me with Datang! After that, he said with some unfinished thoughts: "Now the population of the entire Datang is too scarce, I have encouraged a family to have more children, and if there are more than five people, I will reward 100 yuan of money, but the population is still not enough, not to mention that there are fewer and fewer natives from overseas Southeast Asia, and I now need captives to invest in the mining and factory construction of Datang." ”

Li Er's words made Xu Yang stunned, it turned out that capital eats people, and the biggest one who eats people without spitting out bones is still the emperor, because of the lack of human resources, he would rather start a war and rob it.

"Your Majesty, how did you know that the four countries on the Eastern Sea Island have silver mines?" Xu Yang asked curtly, and it wasn't until Li Er mentioned it that he remembered that there really was a super-large silver mine under the Japanese island, even bigger than the one on the island of Australia, but he never remembered it.

"Haha." Li Er smiled slyly, "This news was read by Wei Yushi in a book on geology in Nanshan Academy, after I played it, I had already sent people over to investigate, and did all kinds of experiments, and finally proved that there was indeed a lot of silver on the island, and I had been planning for a long time when I would be able to send troops." Li Er smiled treacherously.

"Okay......" Xu Yang nodded silently, sure enough, he was also a black-bellied man, who had concealed the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty for so long for a plan.

"So how many people know about this plan now?" Fang Xuanling still asked more steadily, he didn't have the slightest complaint about Li Er's hiding from him.

"Except for Li Ji and Cheng Zhijie, the general managers of the marching road who are now rushing to Youzhou, only me and the auxiliary machine know." Li Er said triumphantly.

"How many people does Your Majesty plan to send this time?" Fang Xuanling asked.

"I gave General Li Ji 10,000 city management troops, and then Cheng Zhijie took 3,000 special Flying Tigers, and I smashed the four eastern countries with a thunderous force." Li Er said confidently.

Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment, then pointed to the outside of the carriage and said, "Your Majesty, then this assassination, do the soldiers outside the carriage know about it?" ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Li Er's mouth, "Except for the Shadow Guard and the Hundred Cavalry Division, there are only a few editors of Nanshan Academy, and no one among the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard knows about the assassination that has been arranged this time, this is because I also want to see if those guards of mine are in danger or cowardly!" ”……

"Brother Runqing! They're coming! A young man dressed in black pushed aside the weeds and cautiously walked to the side of a young man in a blue robe.

"Hmm." The young man named Runqing was a little absent-minded at all, just standing on the edge of the cliff in a daze, looking at the dense convoy on the mountain road in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

The young man in black was not very excited at all, even his hands trembled a little, and his voice trembled: "Brother Runqing, Lord Chilin has already heard that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is sitting in the nineteenth carriage this time, we only need to wait until the eighteenth carriage drives over and knocks on the baffle of the boulder, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty can be crushed to pieces!" The young man in black seemed to have said something very excited, and there was a sickly glint in his eyes.

The young man named Runqing didn't seem to care, as if he had replied and agreed coldly.

"Brother Runqing, Lord Chilin told us to listen to you, and also asked you to open the baffle of the boulder." The young man in black said with a little admiration.

"Hmm." The young man in Tsing Yi also nodded, indicating that he knew......

"It's coming, it's coming!" The young man in black crouched in the grass, and couldn't help but say excitedly, at the bottom of the mountain, the horseback team that opened the road at the front has arrived, and then there is the blowing team, on the mountain, more than thirty men in black have been flushed with excitement, and they can't stop the pleasure when they think of their hard work and the success of assassinating their enemies.

The playing team has also passed, and the hands of the men in black are already sweating, success or failure is in this move, and they must not fail.

The soldiers and horses of the Praetorian Guard are mighty, which is enough to show how well Li Er's defense work is done, but no matter how well he does it, who would have thought that a boulder would suddenly fall down and kill him?

The forbidden army began to become scarce, followed by some guards and maidservants holding flags, everyone's hearts were in their throats at this moment, and a man in black also reminded the man in Tsing Yi standing next to the boulder: "Brother Runqing, Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty is in the nineteenth carriage, let's count the eighteen carriages together, and then roll the boulder down!" ”

It seems that without hearing the answer, everyone's attention was focused on the convoy under the cliff, the first luxury carriage had already driven over, everyone silently counted one in their hearts, and then they heard a click, and the young man in green clothes opened the mechanism stuck in the boulder with an expressionless face, and with a "boom", the boulder fell vertically under the mountain......

At this moment, everyone was stunned, and the men in black didn't even react to what was happening, only to see the men in Tsing Yi slowly turn his head and smile at everyone, "According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, you rebels are all sentenced to death." "After that, there is already a commotion at the bottom of the mountain......
