Chapter 459: Death, Beheading

The establishment of Shuofang Fang Town is actually a cheap move and a temporary measure. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn these years, the envoys were all dispatches, that is, temporary dispatches, not fixed official positions.

Li Chao, the temperance envoy who controlled the military and political affairs of Kyushu, actually did not even have a formal rank. Li Chao still receives a salary according to his own product.

If everything goes well, when Li Chao conquers Shuofang Kyushu, maybe after a year or two of stability, this Shuofang town will also be withdrawn, and then it will be included in the jurisdiction of Kannai Province.

Li Chao didn't think that Li Shimin would give him 50,000 people, and he would be able to divide one side.

The current festival envoy is not a feudal town in the late Tang Dynasty, so it is simply impossible.

The 20,000 vanguard soldiers had already put down their hoes, said goodbye to their children, reported to the military government, received their own armor and ordnance from the arsenal, and then carried homemade dry food on their backs, and drove the mules to assemble in Chang'an.

The assembled military camp was set up on the Wei HB bank, near the West Wei Bridge, where Li Chao had camped last time.

The generals also arrived in turn.

Drumming and gathering.

In the tent of the Chinese army, eight chief managers arrived.

Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda, and Wei Chigong were the first to arrive.

Then Shan Xiongxin, Luo Shixin, Guo Xiaoke, and Li Junxian also came, they were all former Wagang generals, and they were quite familiar with Cheng Yanjin and Niu Jinda.

"Hey, Lao Cheng Lao Niu, I heard that you two are robbing the landlord every day in Dali Temple, why did you come out?" Shan Xiongxin laughed at the two.

"you, what's so good about that ghost place in Dali Temple, I'm moldy."

While talking, Su Dingfang and Xue Wanche also came in, both of them were HB people, and they were old rivals before, and they didn't have a good face when they met at this time, so they didn't talk to each other.

The drum is finished.

Li Chao put his armor through the armor and pressed the sword in his hand.

Although many people in the tent belonged to his uncle, at this time, the army saluted, and Cheng Yanjin and others saluted Li Chao one after another.

"You are all my predecessors, and some of them are my uncles. But from the moment he stepped into this military tent, there were no predecessors or uncles, and some were just the chief and the chief, the commander and the general. The state has national laws, and the military has military regulations, and from now on, they will all call each other military positions. ”

Behind Li Chao is the festival given to him by Li Shimin.

Exclusive reward, special killing.

"Review the government soldiers, and immediately organize them into seven armies according to the corps. Tomorrow morning, I will go on the expedition! ”

Changan.

In the Taiji Palace, Li Yuan asked Li Xiuning.

"Do you really want to reconcile with Chai Shao?"

"My daughter has already made up her mind."

"Don't think about one or two anymore? Chai Shao has been in a relationship with you for many years, so this is a separation...... Besides, that Li San seems to be a scoundrel who eats and wipes clean, and it is impossible to take a break from Cui's family. ”

"It has nothing to do with Wen Yuan, I just don't want to live with Chai Shao anymore."

No matter how Li Yuan persuaded him, Li Xiuning was iron-hearted anyway. After being rejected by Li Chao like that that day, Li Xiuning suddenly determined that he wanted to reconcile with Chai Shao. It's strange to say, before that, she had no plans to reconcile with Chai Shao, and she didn't even think about this idea.

After coming out of the Li Mansion, she had already had the idea of reconciliation, and she could no longer suppress it.

Li Yuan sighed.

This daughter.

East Palace.

Li Shimin is also very embarrassed, the war is imminent, Li Chao is the coach of his conquest of Liang Shidu, and Chai Shao is the commander of the right direction of Northwest Long, at this time, Pingyang is in harmony, which will definitely affect Chai Shao.

He even had to worry about whether Chai Shao would simply join the Turks in a fit of rage. Although this possibility is very low, it is not impossible.

No matter what, Chai Shaozhen can't be allowed to guard Longyou anymore.

I have to transfer Chai Shao back immediately, maybe he can talk to Sanniang when he comes back, and it may be possible to dispel her thoughts of leaving.

"Proposed decree, edict Taichangqing Dou Dan as the governor of Longyou Province, and order him to immediately go to Longyou to replace Chai Shao, and edict Chai Shao to add capital!"

After issuing these two edicts, Li Shimin leaned back in his chair a little tiredly.

I closed my eyes and took a nap, and after a while, I woke up again and continued to review the recital.

When he saw Sun Fujia's third presentation of the impeachment of Li Ying and his son, he knew that he could no longer stay unspent.

Sun Fujia became more and more courageous this time, and made a lot of illegal things of Li Ming's father and son, what robbed the merchant's wife and murdered his father, what seized the people's land, etc., one by one, there is definite evidence, with Sun Fujia's words, Li Ying and his son are really to blame.

Li Ying is Li Shimin's cousin and is a relative in the clan. In the past, Li Yuan also used Li Yuan very much, and often let him take charge, although he didn't have any real skills, but after all, he was his own family.

Recently, the clan has indeed been a little disagreeable, just because of the change of their lordship, these people are resentful, and even Li Youliang, Li Ying and others are still secretly colluding.

He knew all these things, and he wanted to keep a face.

But now it seems that it is impossible not to kill chickens and monkeys.

The Tang Dynasty was divided between the emperor and the aristocracy, but Li Shimin was dissatisfied with this state. He also knows that it is difficult and dangerous to change this pattern rashly.

When the Sui Dynasty dominated the world, his cousin Yang Guang was very ambitious, and he wanted to deal with the new nobles of Guanlong's military merits and the old scholars of the Guandong Gate Lords, but the result was that he was too hasty and too violent, causing the Guanlong and the Guandong nobles to rebound together and bury the Great Sui.

Li Shimin also hoped to be like Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, centralize power and completely turn this world into centralized rule. But the reality is that there are too many obstacles.

Although the Tang Dynasty has won the world, it is actually not the Li family's, nor is it the emperor's alone, this is the military nobles and the veteran warriors who rule the world together with the emperor.

Li Shimin's imperial court only has 2.3 million scholars, and the population controlled by those lords and nobles must be more than double that controlled by the imperial court, and even the land in the world, they also own more.

This time, the title was knighted, and the seal was changed.

In fact, it was Li Shimin's last resort compromise, giving them a higher title and more land, but sealing the land to the frontier, and even Li Shimin took out the history of the world seal and the sub-feudal system, which was a compromise.

He didn't want to be as ruthless as Yang Guang, the military nobles of Guanlong and the wealthy families of the Kwantung clan cleaned up together. He hoped to give these men and warriors more land on the frontier, and even enjoy the privilege of hereditary inheritance, in exchange for the imperial court to recover the countless lands occupied by these nobles and magnates in the Central Plains.

He has already shown the greatest sincerity, and has promised to divide the clan into feuds.

also retained the princes of those clans, and he even released rumors that in addition to the two-level titles of princes and county kings of the clan, he would increase the heir king under the prince and the county king, so as to give more kings to the clan.

But his compromise was considered weak by some people in the clan.

actually dared to engage in conspiracy.

"Proposed purpose, Li Ming, King of Lujiang, Li Chonggao, King of Luling, and Li Youliang, King of Changle, secretly raise soldiers, make friends abroad, and plot against each other, all of them will die!"

"The family property is confiscated, and the wife and daughter are in the court!"

The Son of Heaven was angry, and it was the wrath of thunder.

Gave the death of three county kings, and Li Shimin ordered the second daughter of Li Xiaogong's concubine, and gave him the title of princess, and the pro-Western Turkic Yehu Khan.

Li Yuan heard in the Taiji Palace that Li Shimin was going to kill Li Ying and the others, so he hurriedly wrote a letter and asked people to send it to the East Palace to intercede for the three of them. Li Shimin personally went to the Taiji Palace, and Li Yuan finally nodded helplessly and agreed to die.

On the same day, the three of them were given to die in the palace, and then their palaces, courtyards, manors, shops, industries, fields, etc., were all confiscated.

The rest of the men of the two families were demoted to concubines and exiled to Taozhou to be sent to the army. All the female dependents were sent to the Yeting Palace, and as for the property such as the farm house and the slaves, Li Shimin ordered it to be handed over to the largest auction house in Chang'an for auction. This auction house is actually Li Chao's family.

The auction house quickly sent a list to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which showed an approximate estimate of the property in this auction.

It's worth about 500,000 kan.

The actual auction may be able to auction more, in short, a large amount of property.

This property did not go into the Taicang treasury, but into the inner treasury of the Inner Servant Province, and became Li Shimin's private money. With an entry of 500,000 yuan at once, Li Shimin's eyes were red.

He used all the money in the inner treasury to fight and reward, and the poor were going to die, but Li Ying and they were so rich, and the property of the three county kings was actually worth 500,000 yuan.

He really wants to copy a few more now, one is worth 200,000 yuan, if he copies ten, won't he have 2 million yuan? With so much money, it was enough for him to let Li Chao fight casually in Shuofang.

Li Shimin's sinister intentions were seen through by many nobles, especially those clans.

Li Youliang's brothers, Li Shuliang, Li Deliang, they, when their brothers died, they didn't even let out a fart. Originally, the nobles of the various clans had already drawn lots and obtained the documents for changing the land, but they had not done anything.

As a result, the three county kings of Li Ying were given death to copy their homes, and the nobles immediately took action. They honestly handed over the contracts of their original Yongye Tian Juetian and exchanged them for the contract documents of the frontier land.

Killed three county kings at once, all of them are the descendants of Tang Taizu Li Hu.

Everyone only remembered at this time that although Li Shimin did not kill Jiancheng Yuanji behind the Xuanwu Gate, he was also the emperor who was seized by the palace, and now his father, brother and brother are all still imprisoned in the palace by him. Although the treatment is not bad, it does not change that fact.

"Take 100,000 yuan out and send it to Li Chao. He was on the front line, and there were many places where he needed money, and the 100,000 yuan was given to him, so that he could buy grain and grass by himself or use it to reward the soldiers. ”

got such a large amount of money, Li Shimin didn't forget Li Chao, and remembered to take out 20% and send it to Li Chao.

Jingxi.

It was dusk, and the soldiers and horses stopped advancing and set up camp to rest.

Li Chao eats spring rolls.

"Lao Ke, we haven't been together for a short time, right?"

"What does Zhao Guogong want to say?"

"It's nothing, I just think our relationship should be pretty good."

Ke Qing took a knife and continued to trim his nails, not bothering to answer.

"That's right, didn't I ask your father and daughter to train an assassin squad for me?"

"That's the Assassination Squad." Ke Qing corrected.

"Well, it's okay to call it an assassination squad. It's just that I think it should be pulled out and tested, and it can't be trained without actual combat. ”

"Those little orphans have only been training for three months, and they haven't even adjusted their bodies, so what are they doing now? Sent to death? ”

"Well, then I can only ask you to help. Lao Ke, one hundred taels of gold, help me kill Liang Shidu! ”

Ke Qing looked at Li Chao with some disdain, "This is your plan to break the enemy?" ”

"It doesn't matter what he has good or bad plans, everything that can win is a good plan. My intelligence shows that some of Liang Shidu's subordinates are not convinced by him, and some even feel that there is no future for the Turks as sons and want to defect to the Tang Dynasty. But Liang Shi didn't like to listen to the advice of his subordinates very much, and he was bent on being a son to the Turks. I think that if Liang Shidu is killed at a critical time, then my army is coming to the city, and the Liang army is leaderless at that time, wouldn't it be a good time to force them down in one fell swoop? ”

"Are you so sure that if you kill Liang Shidu, his men will surrender?"

"Of course, I'm not sure, but I'll have to try. One hundred taels, do you want to do it? ”

"I'll take this and tell me your specific request, when will you kill it, do you want a head, or a whole corpse?"

"Hey, I didn't expect your service to be quite thorough." Li Chao said with a satisfied smile.
