"Wang De, you rarely open your mouth to say a complete sentence on weekdays, but I didn't think that once you opened your mouth, it would be so comforting." Li Shimin glanced at Wang De with some surprise.

Wang De has not followed him for a long time, but he has a very set of things, and his temperament is the most cautious, except for helping him announce the decree, summoning people, and arranging internal affairs, he never interjects in other things.

"Your Majesty praised it falsely, the slave maid just said something from her heart." Wang De spoke very respectfully.

Li Shimin smiled slightly, and said no more, Li Xiaochang's case of rebellion finally came to an end after nearly a month.

Except for the mastermind who participated that day, there were not many people involved, of course, this is a statement on the surface, but in fact, the breadth of this case is shocking.

It is precisely because of this that the emperor can only pick it up high and put it down gently.

However, the emperor was forced to make such a compromise, it was impossible to be angry in his heart, what should the emperor do if he was holding his breath in his heart? Well, that's only the mastermind.

Li Shimin made up his mind that Li Xiaochang, Liu Deyu, Yuan Hongshan and other men of the whole clan were all sentenced to death, and the female dependents were exiled as officials.

However, before the decree was issued, Li Shimin still decided to meet Li Xiaochang and Liu Deyu first.

"Li Xiaochang, when my Li Tang raised troops in Taiyuan, you responded generously, and did not hesitate to sacrifice Yongfeng Cang to help my Li family father and son, such a high righteousness, I, and my father, have never forgotten each other for a day, my father not only named you the Shangzhu Kingdom, but also named you the King of Yi'an."

"After I ascended the throne, I also don't dare to snub you for a while, in August of the ninth year of Wude, the Turkic army besieged the city, and my Tang Dynasty almost exhausted the treasury before I was able to retreat."

"Later, due to the emptiness of the national soldiers, I couldn't afford many titles, so I had no choice but to chew, but I cut the titles of my Li clansmen, but I never thought of using you meritorious men to cut the knife."

"After the Turkic soldiers retreated, you came to Beijing to recuperate, and without saying a word, I allocated you the best house on the edge of the imperial city for you, and the share belonging to your prince was not less than half a cent."

"You ask yourself, what do I mean for you?" Li Shimin looked at Li Xiaochang standing in front of him with an angry face and said.

"Your Majesty has indeed never treated me badly, but I have been in Beijing for more than a year and have been idle, isn't Your Majesty Anzhi blaming me for getting close to Prince Yin and King Qi back then, and is ready to snub them first, and then deal with them slowly?"

"You must know that in the more than a year since Your Majesty ascended the throne, everyone who has been close to the former prince has been almost disposed of by His Majesty, first Luo Yi, the king of Yanjun, and then Li Youliang, the king of Changle, who knows that the next one is not me?"

"I, Li Xiaochang, don't have any great skills, but it's not my style to sit back and wait." It was Li Xiaochang who knew that he was going to die, and he had no scruples when he spoke, and said with an indifferent face.

"Hehe, I can even use Wei Zheng, Wang Qi, and Feng Li without any mustard, let alone others? When you make such excuses, in the final analysis, it is just a matter of inner desire. ”

"Luo Yi, you too, if you are willing to assist me sincerely, why do I have to do the notoriety of eradicating heroes, you said that I don't reuse you, didn't I have decreed that you should be the governor of Lizhou last year, and I will go to work after the year?"

"Your sons rely on your power to do evil in other places, and I only warned you and asked you to keep a strict watch, but my step by step retreat is seen by you as being deliberate, yes, it's really good." Li Shimin looked at Li Xiaochang quietly for a while, and finally waved his hand with interest, and asked people to take him down.

After Li Xiaochang was taken down, after a while, someone brought Liu Deyu in, and as soon as Liu Deyu came to Li Shimin, he landed on one knee and saluted him with a military salute: "The criminal minister Liu Deyu has seen Your Majesty." ”

"Liu Deyu, look at you like this, you still seem to recognize me in your heart, the year before last, the Turks besieged the city, and when you fought with the Turkic army, you were completely deadly, and I appointed you as the general of the Right Wuwei for the past year, and you are also dutiful."

"I know the relationship between your family and Prince Yin, but when the Turks besieged the city, you didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity, why are you being bewitched by Li Xiaochang now? Is this person really so attractive? Li Shimin's eyes fell on him, and he asked with a puzzled expression.

"The criminal minister only hated not to die in the war with the Turks, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, the criminal minister has nothing to say, only to die quickly." Liu Deyu lowered his head, and his eyes turned red unconsciously.

"That's it, get up, originally, I wanted to exterminate your entire clan, but now I have changed my mind, killing can't solve hatred, your family and clansmen, I will let them dismiss and return to their hometowns." Li Shimin looked at him quietly and sighed faintly.

The blood of Xuanwumen finally softened his heart, Liu Deyu was different from Li Xiaochang and the Li clan, he was an innocent victim who was involved.

"The guilty minister is grateful, this kindness and virtue, Deyu will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and then come to repay him." Liu Deyu suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Shimin with a stunned expression, and then fell to the ground and shook his head a few times.

"Let's go down." Li Shimin waved his hand a little tiredly.

Three days later, Li Shimin issued an order that Li Xiaochang's case was not very disturbing and involved a wide range of people.

As for their clansmen, unless there is detailed evidence to prove that they are all guilty of what they deserve, the rest will not be investigated, and those who have children of immediate family members who are officials in the DPRK will be dismissed from office and return to their hometowns.

The eldest grandson Shunde, Liu Hongji, Wei Yuancheng and others were dismissed only on the charge of communicating with Li Xiaochang, and a boiling case of rebellion should be said to have officially ended.

However, although the result of the verdict came out, the matter was not completed, because there was a special person in this main culprit, and this person was the eldest grandson Anye.

The eldest grandson Anye is the elder brother of the empress's prime minister, the eldest grandson Wuji.

This is nothing, Li Xiaochang, Liu Deyu and other masterminds have not implicated their families, and it is impossible for the eldest grandson Anye, a bastard who has always been intimately close to his younger siblings, to implicate the eldest grandson queen and the eldest grandson Wuji.

No one in the court would dare to use this matter to attack the eldest grandson Wuji's brothers and sisters, but outsiders said that it did not mean that their own family members were willing to expose it.

There are many people in this world who are calculating you, and when they cheat you, they don't remember that there is such a thing as blood relationship.

But once the matter of the pit people is revealed, when they are faced with life and death, they will suddenly remember this blood relationship, such as the wife of the eldest grandson Anye, Chen.

After she learned that her husband was going to be beheaded and her family was expelled from Chang'an, she immediately ran to Gao's in tears.

She cried with a handful of snot and tears in front of Gao, hoping that Gao would help her to beg Empress Changsun to spare An Ye's life.
