Li Shimin

Chapter 825 Ming Conspiracy
Hearing this, Li Xuancai turned his head slowly, and looked at the people from the aristocratic families standing in front of him.

"Do you know why this king brought you all here?"

"Please also ask His Royal Highness King Jin to speak clearly!"

An old man stood up and said solemnly.

"Everyone must also remember that when every family seals the country, His Majesty will sign a seal agreement with the head of the family, and those who violate the agreement will revoke their seal and withdraw their princes!"

As he spoke, Li Xuan couldn't help laughing at himself.

"Perhaps, after you signed those agreements back, you high-ranking families didn't take it seriously, let alone treat the common people in my Tang Dynasty as human beings.

However, more than half of the barbarian lands sealed off by the noble families were captured by the king's troops.

It is also my suggestion to His Majesty to confer the title of country and king to all the families.

Its purpose is to give you aristocratic families an autonomous vassal state, and you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't bully the people in the Tang Dynasty. "

"I didn't expect that the Langya Wang clan would be so heartless. Not only did they openly violate the agreement to seal the kingdom, they bullied and harmed thousands of people, forced them to become slaves of the royal family, and brought them into their Langya Wang clan's feudal kingdom."

"Hmph, I don't like to meddle in other people's business, and I don't like to be a great saint, but I'm not easy to bully. Their Langya Wang family slapped me in the face so openly, and even put my face in the face. Stepping on the belt, this king must lead someone to find them for an explanation!"

"Hehe, before this king entered the gate of their royal family, thousands of soldiers came out, wanting to tear this king, the crown prince and others into pieces? What a Langya Wang family, what a Jiangning aristocratic family?"

"Everyone, this king will destroy their clan of King Langya, is that okay?"

After finishing speaking, Li Xuan's eyes were full of coldness, staring at the people of the family with a cold face!
Seeing this, all the members of the aristocratic family shuddered in unison, and hurriedly stated: "The Wang family is so insane that they did such a rebellious thing. His Royal Highness King Jin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to kill all the members of the Wang family. We wait for you!" There must be no objection!"

"Exactly, the Wang family dared to hide the soldiers privately, and wanted to use swords against His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness King Jin, so they deserved to exterminate the clan!"

"His Royal Highness King Jin is right..."

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction at the understanding of these aristocratic families.

Then, his face sank again.

"Then, this king is curious. Yesterday, He Duwei and Xie Shishi arrested all the Wang family's children and stewards in Jiangning City and brought them to the Wang family's mansion.

Then, why did two hundred thieves sneak into the Wang family's mansion last night, wanting to do that wrong thing to the king and the crown prince? "

Hearing this writing, all the aristocratic families knew that their hearts trembled again, and they suddenly felt bad.

Unfortunately, Li Xuan didn't give them a chance to react, and directly said murderously.

"I thought about it all night. In Jiangning City, only you have this kind of strength. I don't know. I haven't troubled you yet. Why did you send these thieves here so eagerly?"

"This king wants to know, who sent the thief? If you all kill me and don't say anything, then you can't blame this king for being rude!"

Immediately, all the members of the aristocratic family looked at each other in blank dismay.

After reacting, an old man from an aristocratic family hurriedly saluted Li Xuan.

"His Royal Highness Jin Wang, we are all benevolent families, how can we do such a rebellious thing?"

"Exactly, His Royal Highness Jin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, no one in the world knows the bravery of His Royal Highness Jin, plus the bravery shown by His Royal Highness Jin and the other trilogy of the Crown Prince yesterday, how could we have acted so presumptuously?" thing?"

"His Royal Highness King Jin..."

Li Xuan's face suddenly darkened.

"Do you think that the king is slandering you? Or, is it the officials of Jiangning City, including Duwei and Xie Shishi, who are deceiving the king and the crown prince?"

"This……"

All the family members couldn't help being startled again.

He scolded He Dewu, Xie Lang and other officials in Jiangning City in his heart.

A group of incompetent people, this is a miserable situation for their aristocratic families!
Suddenly, an old man from an aristocratic family thought of something and hurried forward to cup his hands.

"His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, the Langya Wang family is a powerful family that has prospered in Jiangning City for hundreds of years. There are dozens of houses in just one branch. No one knows the power accumulated in secret. The Wang family can hide thousands of There may be hundreds of dead soldiers hiding in Jiangning City.

Therefore, these black-clothed thieves might be the dark power hidden in Jiangning City by the Langya Wang Clan! "

"His Royal Highness, that's exactly the case!"

"Please also ask His Royal Highness King Jin to investigate clearly..."

Immediately, all the aristocratic families, as if they had found a life-saving straw, responded again and again.

"So, He Dewu, Xie Lang and others deceived the king and the crown prince?"

Li Xuan's face darkened again, and he stared at He Dewu, Xie Lang and other Jiangning City officials with serious eyes.

He Dewu, Xie Lang and the others felt pain in their hearts, and hurriedly pleaded guilty with panic on their faces.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgives the crime, His Royal Highness the King of Jin forgives the crime, these families have profound backgrounds, we did not know that the Langya Wang family is so cunning, not only puts so much power on the surface, but also raises so many dead soldiers in the dark! "

"It's because we are not good at handling things, please punish His Royal Highness King Jin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Punishment?"

Li Xuan laughed lightly, "Since you all ask this king to punish you, then it is not easy for me to refuse. If there is such a rebellious family like Langya Wang in Jiangning City, there must be other families who will secretly violate it." The feudal country agreement used all kinds of dirty means to force those poor people into their families as slaves, and sent those people to their feudal country.

This kind of aristocratic family is openly slapping the face of the king, how can the king stop?

No matter what, each of you must find three families for this king, or this king will punish you directly! "

Hearing this, the faces of He Dewu, Xie Lang and the others changed drastically, and they subconsciously glanced at the group of aristocratic families beside them, full of pain.

How many aristocratic families are here?

But now, they are asked to find three families each.

Could it be that more than half of the aristocratic families in Jiangning City will be in bad luck?
At this time, all the aristocratic families on the side also panicked.

If He Dewu and Xie Lang were to investigate, wouldn't any of them be able to escape?
"His Royal Highness, Jin Wang, we all belong to the family of benevolence, how could we do such a treacherous thing?"

"Exactly, His Royal Highness King Jin..."

"Don't be noisy!"

Li Xuan's face darkened, "What is the reputation of the Langya Wang family in the court and among the people? But now, they raise soldiers privately, betray their trust, and the whole family is arrogant and domineering, and they even use weapons against the king and the crown prince?"

"Since you all feel that you are a family of benevolence and virtue, then let Xie Lang, He Dewu and the others check it out. If you find out, please don't resent me for being rude, because you are the first to break your promise, Still openly slapping me in the face.

If they can't be found, then these two people are deceiving the king and the crown prince, and the king will punish them both! "

Hearing this, He Dewu, Xie Lang and others couldn't help being speechless.

His Royal Highness King Jin was indeed a good hand at messing around, and he forcefully forced the two of them to find out the problems of these aristocratic families.

And the people of all the aristocratic families were even more speechless.

"However, it's my king's fault for inviting you here in this way. In order to apologize slightly, this king invites you all to eat delicious food here!"

Li Xuan ignored the expressions of these people, but said to himself.

"Zheng Fu, hurry up and prepare the meal tomorrow, the king and the crown prince are here, please have a meal!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zheng Fu responded and walked down quickly.

Seeing this, the members of the aristocratic family could only helplessly salute Li Xuan.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, thank you, Your Highness King Jin!"

But He Dewu and Xie Lang took the opportunity and hurried out.

All the patriarchs and direct descendants of the families in Jiangning City that they could not afford to offend were all left in the royal mansion by the King of Jin. It was a good time for them to take the opportunity to investigate those families who forced the people to seal the country.

In the Wang family's mansion, although the heads of the aristocratic families and the direct descendants were full of anxiety, they had to put on a nonchalant, even grateful expression on the surface.

Being able to be in the same room with the prince of the Tang Dynasty is a rare opportunity for many aristocratic families in the world.

Therefore, every patriarch and direct descendants of the family are gentle and elegant, telling all kinds of interesting things.

After half an hour.

Dishes with a strong aroma were served on the table.

There were even some special dishes that the children of the aristocratic families in Jiangning City had never seen before, which made the faces of the children of the aristocratic families beam with joy.

It's just that I haven't eaten a few bites yet.

All the children of the aristocratic family could see through the window that the guards outside were carrying corpses, or carrying baskets of stumped limbs and broken arms, walking outside.

At the same time, some guards were cleaning the ground with buckets.

A strong smell of blood floated directly into the main hall.

All the children of the aristocratic family suddenly changed their faces.

And the family members of those aristocratic families had normal faces, but upon closer inspection, their eyelids twitched, and their eating speed also slowed down.

"Everyone, but the food is not to your liking?"

Take the seat, Li Xuan couldn't help asking with a worried face.

At the same time, Li Chengqian and the others subconsciously looked at the people from the family.

"Thank you for your concern, His Royal Highness King Jin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This meal is a delicacy and delicious food. It is a great blessing for me to eat this gluttonous feast!"

The patriarch of an aristocratic family hurriedly cupped his hands and said.

"Exactly. I have always heard that His Royal Highness King Jin is the most delicious person in the Tang Dynasty. I am honored to meet you today, and your reputation is indeed well-deserved!"

"I didn't expect that I would be able to eat the delicacies bestowed by His Royal Highness King Jin in my lifetime. I am very excited..."

Immediately, everyone from the aristocratic family began to flatter Li Xuankuang!

"So, everyone, eat quickly, the food will not taste good when it gets cold!"

Li Xuan smiled lightly, and immediately began to urge!
"Exactly, let's eat as much as you like!"

Li Chengqian echoed, and he also knew why these aristocratic families had such expressions.

"Follow the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince and King Jin!"

All the people from the aristocratic family were 'moved'!
One meal, I ate the whole morning.

When the food in front of them was removed, all the people of the aristocratic family breathed a sigh of relief. They finally didn't have to suffer such hardships.

in the afternoon.

He Dewu, Xie Lang and others also hurried back.

Accompanying people, there are hundreds of village households.

Seeing this, Li Xuan's eyes flashed with joy, and he asked directly: "Who are these people?"

And the people of those aristocratic families on the side are full of worry.

These untouchables, although their faces were full of fear, but when they looked at them, their eyes were full of hatred, it must be those bastards like Xie Lang and He Dewu who came to falsely accuse them.

Sure enough, before the members of these aristocratic families opened their mouths, He Dewu, Xie Lang and others had already reported to Li Xuan and Li Chengqian.

"Reporting to His Royal Highness King Jin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, these village households are the family members of the village households who were tricked into their feudal kingdom by the various families in the city with their own means!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the expressions of Li Xuan, Li Chengqian and others changed, and their faces were filled with awe.

"My lord, these villagers are indeed the ones who were found in the surrounding villages of Jiangning City with the captain, Xie Cishi and others. It's deception, becoming a servant of each family, and then being sent to their family to seal the country!"

The guards who followed He Dewu, Xie Lang and others also reported directly to Li Xuan.

"I see!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, then looked at the aristocratic families on one side.

"Everyone, I don't know how to explain this?"

"Forgive me, Your Highness Prince Jin, I really don't know these things!"

"Exactly. Please also ask His Royal Highness King Jin to check clearly. We have signed an agreement with His Majesty to enshrine the country. How could we do such a treacherous thing?"

"His Royal Highness King Jin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clearly learned that we are all from aristocratic families with dozens of houses, thousands of servants, and tens of thousands of tenants. We do not lack farmers to cultivate land for our respective kingdoms.

The old man guessed that either these people were falsely accusing us, or it was the sub-houses in the family, or the servants in the family privately harmed the people near Jiangning City in order not to seal off the country! "

"His Royal Highness King Jin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

In an instant, all the members of the aristocratic family were full of grievances, and picked them all clean.

"So, this king has wronged me and waited?"

Li Xuan looked cold, "No matter what, your family forced those innocent people into your family as slaves and sent them to their respective kingdoms. Can you deny this?"

Now, all the aristocratic families acted like tortoises one by one, shrinking their heads and not speaking.

"Tsk tsk!"

Li Xuan sneered, but did not continue to press.

Instead, he looked around at these aristocratic families, his face full of mockery.

"Everyone, why do you treat me and the crown prince as fools?"

Hearing this, the people of the aristocratic family were shocked, and quickly looked at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan glared and said: "He Dewu and Xie Lang haven't said who is doing this kind of evil, but you all admitted to this king. Now, you are evading your ignorance, or Be framed?

Ladies and gentlemen, do you really know nothing about it, or do you all know it well?
This king has already destroyed a royal family, and I don't mind destroying these families one by one again! "

Hearing this, the members of the aristocratic family were startled first, and then their eyes were full of regret.

An old man from an aristocratic family subconsciously filled his face with misery, and saluted Li Xuan: "His Royal Highness Prince Jin was wronged, old man Meng's family was really wronged!"

"Really?"

Li Xuan took a mocking look, then looked at He Dewu who was beside him.

"Reporting to His Royal Highness King Jin, I found out that the Meng family forced them into the Meng family as slaves, and sent the Meng family to seal the country. There are 280 people!"

He Dewu reported directly.
