Chapter 101: Purging the Remnants

After the assassination, Li Shimin sent two other trusted masters to be his personal guards. Of course, it's always by your side, especially when you're sleeping.

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land." The killer group hidden in Guiningzhuang was hidden no matter how secret, and Li Shimin still ordered to find them one by one, but he did not catch Black Eagle. Because he knew that they were all strong in martial arts, he was not immediately executed, but just imprisoned. "It's not enough to kill people." Maybe Li Shimin wanted to subdue them, after all, they didn't really harm the emperor, and they used to be their own masters.

But Black Hawk is different, and if Black Hawk is caught, he will surely die. However, where is the Black Hawk so easy to catch. He was not found in Guiningzhuang, so the emperor sent waves of people to hunt down and kill this imperial criminal.

Although all the people in Guining Village were arrested, Li Shimin's strangulation of the killer group this time was not complete, and many people were scattered. Black Hawk gathered all the remnants and shifted positions.

As Gao Ziang expected, Li Shimin of course refused to give up, he decided to purge the remaining princes of the year, so that the foundation of the Tang Dynasty could rest easy! Especially some former ministers of the former emperor, Li Shimin knew very well that the henchmen of the imperial party back then were all supportive of Li Jiancheng, which can be said to be deep-rooted. And they are intertwined, and they all take care of each other.

"Once a son of heaven and a courtier", it can be regarded as another reorganization of the imperial court.

Some people have admonished, but Li Shimin did not give a definite response.

Isn't Gao Junming also an old minister of the former emperor? He came to the emperor and tried to convince him: "Your Majesty, you must not implicate too much and cause misery." Your Majesty, you have to think twice! Too many strains can cause instability in people's hearts. ”

But his opinion was immediately vetoed by Li Shimin: "Aiqing, you don't understand, I have hatred in my heart!" On the day of the Xuanwumen Incident, I did not exterminate all the brazen ones, and I had already treated them very well. ”

Just as Gao Junming was thinking deeply about how to respond to the emperor, Li Shimin suddenly and solemnly said to him: "You have always been a staunch supporter of imperial power, haven't you?" Tall man. Listening to the emperor's words, Gao Junming thought it was a compliment at first, but then he suddenly realized that the emperor already knew Li Wanying's identity and knew that she had married into Gaofu.

So what does the emperor mean by saying this? Did he suspect that he was disobedient and beat him with sarcasm, or did he know the intention of Li Wanying to be placed under house arrest in Gaofu?

The emperor's words made the courtiers ponder for a long time and come up with various possibilities, which is normal. It was precisely because Gao Junming was not sure what the emperor meant, no matter what, the most important thing was to express his position, he immediately knelt down and clarified to the emperor: "Prince Yin will not have any hope of life. ”

Sure enough, after saying this, Li Shimin told him to get up. Of course, Gao Junming was shocked into a cold sweat, the emperor was really unfathomable.

In other words, he speculated that he could even conclude that the emperor also knew about Li Wanying's raising in the Li Mansion since she was a child.

Li Shimin's expression softened, after all, Li Wanying's matter was not what he wanted to think about the most at the moment. The emperor has made up his mind about the execution of the remaining party of the hidden prince, and of course Gao Junming is helpless.

Until the end, many people had concerns, and when it was time to do it, there were still people who came to ask the emperor. But Li Shimin just paced around the house with his hands behind his back, without any orders.

In the eyes of subordinates, this is a sign of approval with tacit consent.

As a result, many officials have been disciplined, demoted or dismissed. There was even a founding father who had been in a hundred battles and was sentenced for the crime of rebellion. It can be described as a catastrophe, and this time, it shocked everyone.

In this situation, Gao Junming still has a little idea.

In Su Rili, the emperor had great trust in Li Zhenghang. Moreover, Li Zhenghang's power is much greater than his own, and Li Zhenghang has not stolen his own limelight. In addition, Gao Junming realized very early on that one of the Gao and Li families must be weakened before it is possible to become in-laws. Otherwise, you can only lose both.

Only when the throne is threatened, the emperor will be ruthless, it is better to take the opportunity to realize his plan.

Gao Junming understands the emperor, of course Li Zhenghang can't die for this report, otherwise he will marry someone. At most, he was demoted, and the main thing should be to cut Li Zhenghang's military power, retain the position of the secretary of the military department, have less power than himself, and return to the original state, which is what Gao Junming wants to see the most.

At this time, Zuo Linghong, who regarded Li Zhenghang as his mortal enemy, had already taken refuge in Gao Junming, and only the tall man was the first to look forward. Zuo Linghong also realized that this was a great opportunity to knock out Li Zhenghang, so he asked Gao Junming for instructions.

This is exactly what Gao Junming meant, it just so happened that it was inconvenient for him to come forward, so he connived at Zuo Linghong to go to the emperor to slander.

The emperor that Zuo Linghong and Wei Qingyu met together.

turned over the old case of that year, and they knew that Pei Wenjing's death was a big pain in Li Shimin's heart. First of all, the cause of Pei Wenjing's death was partly blamed on Li Zhenghang, because Pei Wenjing once regarded Li Zhenghang as an enemy.

Of course, this is a false accusation, Li Shimin is like watching the fire, even if Pei Wenjing regards Li Zhenghang as an enemy, Li Zhenghang does not have to put Pei Wenjing to death, so he did not take their statement seriously.

Zuo Linghong is so angry that he can't do it. However, he instantly calmed down again, and felt proud that this was only a short prologue.

The more Li Shimin didn't react, the more Zuo Linghong secretly determined that he must seize this rare opportunity to defeat Li Zhenghang!

Next, Zuo Linghong reported to Li Shimin, and Li Zhenghang instigated Li Yuanji to fall to the East Palace. Gao Junming told him about this.

Everything about Prince Yin, this is the emperor's most concerned thing at the moment, and sure enough, his face immediately changed greatly.

Wei Qingyu also added oil and vinegar on the side: "Li Zhenghang did his best to do things for Prince Yin back then. Because King Qi joined the prince's camp, it made it difficult for the emperor. ”

This is not enough, Zuo Linghong also has to report Li Zhenghang's style, and he is ready to frame Li Zhenghang with Xiao Feiyan's matter.

Zuo Linghong and Wei Qingyu both knelt in front of Li Shimin, and Zuo Linghong spoke: "Playing the emperor, Li Zhenghang also forcibly occupies the people's daughters." ”

Li Shimin was puzzled: "What's going on?" Let's take it into detail. ”

Zuo Linghong replied: "Xiao Feiyan is a folk girl, born in poverty, and she was originally married to Wang Yuan, but Li Zhenghang valued her appearance, took advantage of her strength, and detained Xiao Feiyan in the mansion for many years. At that time, Wang Yuanwai officially came to the door to ask for it, but Li Zhenghang just didn't let him go, many people know about this matter, if you don't believe it, your Majesty, you can investigate it clearly. ”

The two finally angered Li Shimin and gave an order to the people who were waiting beside them: "Call Li Zhenghang to see me!" ”

"Yes."
