For Li Tai, the so-called people in the book were actually just numbers.

However, when this person was born in front of himself and then killed, he screamed.

And these people may even be polite to themselves not long ago and had a happy chat with them.

But now, everything is over.

People become unconscious flesh and blood, and the smell of blood spreads, as if even the air has become more wet and a little more bloody smell.

The wailing sounds were getting less and less, and only occasionally there were a few more sounds, but Li Shimin remained motionless, as if he was deaf ears!

For Li Shimin, there is nothing wrong with eliminating those he thinks need to be eradicated.

In the end, the Deng clan relatives had been besieged to the corner, and a person around them fell down. The remaining people roared, their eyes were red, and they held their weapons and slashed wildly.

It's just a pity...

The weapons in their hands are even ridiculous to the well-trained cavalry.

The cavalry calmly rushed forward, killed the last man, and then took the long spoil!

Someone tacitly pulled out the sword at his waist. This sword was not long, but was just longer than an ordinary dagger. After all, they had crossbows in the long range and long spears in the short range. This short sword was just for self-defense.

They were surfing back and forth between the corpses. If they saw something abnormal, they bent down and wiped the person who was not dead on the ground directly.

For those who have not yet died, this way of dying is more enjoyable than dying slowly in endless pain.

In addition, three or five people began to patrol the Deng family's mansion in a group, looking for those hiding.

During this process, there was no even a thrilling shouting and killing, nor the blood-blooded iron horse. Every person wearing a steel helmet and covered with iron armor was extremely quiet except for breathing, without any sound!

After only one stick of incense, someone pressed the hilt of his waist and quickly stepped forward to Su Ding's side, breaking the silence here: "I have inspected it, and all the men of Deng in the house have been killed, and some women and children will be taken care of for the time being."

Su Dingfang nodded, and also entered the hall with the handle of the knife, saluting Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I am humble and I will live up to the mission."

"very good."

Li Shimin had already sat down in this hall and had a leisurely drink of tea.

This tea was sent by Zhang Qian. Zhang Qian's face was very calm. After Li Yuan ascended the throne in Chang'an, Zhang Qian has been serving Li Shimin!

At that time, Li Shimin was still the King of Qin. Zhang Qian had long been used to Li Shimin's killing. It was just that in recent years, after Li Shimin became emperor, such killing was restrained!

Therefore, the memories from seven or eight years ago were awakened, but Zhang Qian didn't feel any strange at this time. He just took advantage of the continuous wailing and crying outside to tiptoe to pour tea and hand water to Li Shimin, and then stood aside, still saying nothing.

Li Tai, who was spread on the ground, shivered unconsciously. He was well protected since childhood and saw the cruelest side of Li Shimin for the first time.

His hair was standing up, his teeth were still trembling. He looked up at his father, Chen Zhengtai, and looked at Su Dingfang, who was stained with blood on his body. An indescribable fear had surged into his heart.

He hurriedly got up from the ground, knelt down, and then walked to Li Shimin's feet. At this time, he was ragged and covered in blood, but he didn't care about anything. He kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Father...Father, please spare your life."

Li Shimin took a sip of tea calmly, glanced at him indifferently, and then said lightly: "You said that my Tang Dynasty was a man like the royal family and Deng. I tell you, you were wrong, and it was a big mistake! I ruled the world and did not recognize people like Deng. If they dared to harm the people, dare to deceive the prince, dare to use the name of the court to make accomplices for the tiger, I will not sting to kill Deng Wensheng. If the whole family of Deng is rampant in the village, then I will never frown. Whoever wants to imitate Deng's family? This Deng family is their role model today."

"Do you think I will be afraid of the family of poetry and books? What is the family of Zhongdian, what is the family of Zhongdian, what is the reputation of the ancestors? I am fighting and dominating the world, and even today's destiny is not the so-called aristocratic races. If the aristocratic races are willing to obey and safeguard the people for me, I can allow them to continue their bloodlines. But if I believe that I have mastered the land, have knowledge, and try to use this to threaten me, then I might as well let them die."

Li Shimin's words were obviously not warm, and Li Tai felt cold when he heard them.

Li Shimin suddenly stood up and looked at Li Tai with disdain: "You...Li Tai... is the same!"

This sentence is extremely heartbroken. Li Tai feels that he has fallen into the abyss. He thought that a painful blow would make his father relieved. For the sake of his flesh and blood, he would beg for mercy for a few more words and would always recognize his son.

But I never thought that this sentence is the same for you. When I think of the corpse of Deng’s family outside, the meaning of the implicit meaning is: Even if you kill Li Tai, it will be fine?

Li Tai's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and the fear in his heart became deeper, so he had to kowtow: "Son-member..."

Li Shimin was too lazy to see him. After experiencing what happened in the past few days, he seemed to have realized a terrible problem.

Then, his face was a little gentle, and he said to Chen Zhengtai: "Immediately pass on my will and let those who build the river bank go back. Immediately give my intention to the governor of Yangzhou, and let him release the grain in the treasury for three days. If the grain cannot be delivered to the people, I will also kill him. After this, all the governors of Jiangnan were dismissed. At that time, all the ministers who wrote letters to Li Tai and praised Li Tai, would not leave any of them, and would be exiled for three thousand miles to Jiaozhou."

Zhang Qian couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is still in Yangzhou at this time. If you use the Duo Dian, I will be afraid..."

Zhang Qian expressed his concerns, but I was afraid that someone would be anxious to jump over the wall.

This is not a joke. None of these people are a good-looking person. Although they are as gentle as sheep in front of the emperor, they are very arrogant in front of the people. Now that His Majesty wants to exile them all, who can guarantee that they will do anything stupid when they reach a desperate situation?

Li Shimin was not worried at all, and even looked unworthy on his face. He smiled and looked around and said, "I am just afraid that they don't have such courage. I have killed enough people, not only hundreds or thousands of heads. You see that they still have troops and loyal soldiers, but in my opinion, they are just native chickens and dogs. If someone rebels, I will give me a hundred people, and I can just take the thief's head."

Zhang Qian didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Li Shimin's words were obviously not as simple as bragging. How many times have he been in danger in his life and how many times have he burned his boats? Now he still lives well. Where are those who have been against him?

At this time, Li Shimin sighed: "I heard some of Chen Zhengtai's words and always felt that he was exaggerating. When I saw him today, I realized that there were so many blood and tears hidden in the peace of the Tang Dynasty. If I didn't even have such empathy, how inferior to those who could talk big here would be."

As he said that, he closed his eyes and showed a look of pain on his face.

But soon, Li Shimin opened his eyes suddenly and said, "Let's go with me and go to the river bank. As for Li Tai, immediately imprison him and take him to the capital first, and order the Ministry of Justice to discuss his crime."

Li Tai trembled suddenly, and unexpectedly he would have to file a crime!

He looked at Li Shimin pitifully and wanted to call him father, but soon, he recalled the disdain that Li Shimin showed when he called him father, so he hurriedly swallowed these two words back and dared not speak anymore.

Li Shimin naturally didn't want to pay attention to Li Tai anymore.

What Li Tai did has touched his bottom line. This is no longer a relationship between father and son of the Tian family.

For Li Shimin, if he violated such a rebellious scale, his affection would become disheartening. The more people like Li Tai treated him as a son, the more he would be outside, the more he would be foolishly recruiting so-called famous scholars to do things that would destroy the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin is the emperor and the Tian family has no personal relationship.

Even though this was his beloved son, his heart was already cold at this moment. Whenever he had a trace of softening his heart, he couldn't help but think of those even more pathetic people in his mind. Those people were not one, not a person like Deng Wensheng, but millions of people.

He stood up with a calm face, left Li Tai behind, and then left the Deng family under the protection of Chen Zhengtai, Su Dingfang and others.

The Deng family has long been covered with a layer of death and looks so full of hope. At this time, the governor of Yangzhou, who had already heard the news, and together with the Gaoyou County delegation, had already hurriedly brought his subordinates and stood outside the house with a dead face.

Li Shimin obviously had some impression of the Yangzhou governor Wu Ming.

Yangzhou is not an ordinary place. It was once Jiangdu and was one of several capitals during the Sui Dynasty. This place was also the starting point of the Grand Canal. Whether it was military or other aspects, although it was under Chang'an and Luoyang, there was no city that could compare with it except Chang'an and Luoyang.

Therefore, when Li Shimin chose this candidate for Yangzhou Governor, he was deliberately concerned.

But when the king and his ministers met, they had already heard about what happened in the house, Wu Ming, who was frightened outside, saw Li Shimin, and his face was ashamed.

He stumbled in front of Li Shimin and crossed his hands and said, "My memory, Wu Ming, I have seen Your Majesty, I... I'm dying..."

Li Shimin looked at him with a smile: "Three years ago, I summoned you to ask."

"Yes." Wu Ming nodded: "It was the beginning of the spring of the second year of Zhenguan. I ordered me to be the governor of Yangzhou. Your Majesty summoned the empress in Taiji Palace."

Li Shimin said lightly: "What you said at the time was very consistent with my wishes. I thought you were a talented person who could stand alone. But today I met, and I felt that I was wrong. You are no different from others. You are just a little eloquent, that's all."

Wu Ming was already scared and his face turned pale when he heard this. He was just about to explain.

But Li Shimin had already turned over and headed towards the river embankment first.

Chen Zhengtai and others also got on their horses and beat the entourage.

Wu Ming looked back at the officials behind him, and someone whispered: "Where is King Yue?"

Someone said, "I heard that Mr. Deng Wensheng is dead."

"Why is Your Majesty furious?"

Wu Ming was only feeling confused now. He knew in his heart what His Majesty's judgment on him would mean.

He was in a daze and stomped his feet suddenly: "It's useless to say too much. Your Majesty is heading to the river bank. Hurry, follow me."

So everyone hurriedly chased after him.

The river bank is still the same as before, and people did not realize that a huge change had begun.

However, before Li Shimin arrived, someone had already issued a hastily order to disband and return home.

When the servants here heard this, they all smiled happily and praised long live the praises.

People were in a hurry to leave and had a mess.

A group of people came from afar, and the servants stopped and looked at the people coming from the river bank.

Li Shimin got off his horse at the bottom of the river bank, and then led his people to the river bank in the mud.

Li Shimin went up to the dike and faced Chen Zhengtai who was following him, saying, "I think the world is peaceful and the people can have a better life, but I didn't expect that I could call myself a wise monarch in such a world, which is ridiculous."

Listening to the self-sarcastic meaning of Li Shimin's words, Chen Zhengtai said: "Since my mentor knows it now, it's a good start. It's better than how many generations are better than still in the deep palace and thinking that the world is peaceful!"

"This is the first time that the student has seen such a tragic scene when he came here today. To be honest, he felt really uncomfortable and always felt that... he had done something shameful."

Chen Zhengtai's words actually hit Li Shimin's thoughts.

Yes, I am in the deep palace, with rich clothes and food, and I am praised by others. Isn’t it shameful to see this today?

People's distress may be shirkable from natural disasters and other aspects, but what happened in Gaoyou County is not caused by his close relatives and officials who were granted the title? He has indirect responsibility and cannot shirk from him even if he wants to shirk.

Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh. Looking at the pale and thin faces along the way, seeing the noble self, they all avoided one side of the servants who were trembling and fearful. They didn't even dare to look up, as if this fear was innate.

Many people have to work hard, although the weather is cool, they are still sweating profusely, so they take off their shirts and reveal their torso that is like a bone-covered one!

The sunken body was shocking. The skin on her body was dark, and there was almost no trace of flesh except for her muscles and bones. Only a layer of skin like the bark of an old elm tree covered the bones. Her face was stiff and numb, and only her eyes were visible, but it could be seen in her heart.

Chen Zhengtai will never forget this look in his life. He is the kind of timid and fear like a frightened bird. He clearly shows true feelings but has no spirit.

Chen Zhengtai has to admit that compared with the people in front of him, he does not seem to be from the same race at all, and even... it is not an exaggeration to say that this is a distinction between apes.

Li Shimin only had a long face, but soon, he suddenly stopped and seemed to see someone, and pointed at the person and said, "Old man, we are meeting again."
To be continued...
