Li Shimin

The face of the head of the Meng family froze, and the words in his mouth stopped abruptly.

"Hmph, what a Meng family, they still want to try to deceive the king and the crown prince at this meeting."

Li Xuan snorted coldly, and then shouted: "Come here, go and raid the Meng family and exterminate the family! This king wants to know how many evil things the Meng family has done these years!"

"Yes!"

Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others on the side accepted the order with excitement on their faces.

Immediately, with a thousand soldiers and horses, he headed towards Meng's house with a murderous look.

Seeing this, the faces of all the aristocratic families in the courtyard were shocked.

Especially the members of the Meng family were even more pale.

"His Royal Highness Jin, forgive me, His Royal Highness Jin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what needs do you two have, just say, as long as we can let our Meng family go, my Meng family will agree to anything!"

After the Patriarch of the Meng family came to his senses, he quickly knelt on the ground and begged Li Xuan and Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian ignored this.

He, the crown prince, would not interfere with some notorious things, Li Xuan has always been doing it!
Li Xuan snorted coldly, "It's late!"

"You are all from great families. You have read all kinds of classics since you were young, and you naturally understand all the truths in the world. However, this king has nothing more to ask. I just want you not to treat this king and the crown prince as fools. But you always regard this king as a fool?"

"It's already very bad to deceive the king, but you also want to deceive the crown prince? Who is the crown prince? I am the heir of the Tang Dynasty? Your Meng family has repeatedly deceived the emperor? Who gave your Meng family the courage?"

Hearing this, everyone in the Meng family understood something, their faces were pale and full of despair.

"Li Family Saburo, my Meng family is a thousand-year-old family, a descendant of Meng Sheng, how dare you treat me like this?"

The head of the Meng family screamed loudly.

"Humph!"

Li Xuan snorted coldly and ignored it.

Afterwards, without waiting for the members of the Meng family to say anything, the surrounding guards stepped forward and dragged all the members of the Meng family down.

With his hands tightly bound, he was locked in an empty room in the Wang family.

If you are a noisy person, just put a ball of rotten cloth that you don't know where to get directly into your mouth.

Now, all the members of the Meng family are honest!
Seeing this, people from all the aristocratic families around couldn't help shrinking their eyes. When they looked at Li Xuan again, their eyes were full of fear.

This Prince Jin is indeed a lunatic!
However, for the crime of deceiving the emperor, such behavior makes sense!
The members of the Meng family are also courageous enough, no matter how young the crown prince is, he is still the heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty!
What do you do to deceive the king?

Thinking about it, Xie Zhan, the Patriarch of the Xie family, stood up directly and saluted Li Xuan and Li Chengqian.

"His Royal Highness King Jin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince please calm down. When our family grows, there will inevitably be some moths. This time, I would like to thank Your Highness King Jin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for coming and helping us find the moths in our house!"

Hearing this, the surrounding Yan, Xu, Liu, Yuan and other aristocratic patriarchs also had their eyes lit up, and quickly saluted Li Xuan and Li Chengqian respectfully.

"I am waiting to thank His Royal Highness King Jin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"After hundreds of years of inheritance in our family, some unfilial children in the family will inevitably have some crooked thoughts. We can just take this opportunity to get rid of those who are not enterprising all day long and do evil outside in the name of our family. Find out all the bastards!"...

"Please rest assured, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Jin, we will never tolerate those bastards..."

Cunning and cunning!

Li Xuan, Li Chengqian and the others all had this word in their hearts at the same time.

They don't need to go to check one by one, they can also think that as long as these family heads and direct descendants are put back, early tomorrow morning, there will be a group of concubines from various families, or concubine sons of branch houses, led by the patriarchs of various families, Come to Wang's mansion to plead guilty.

Even, if Li Xuan or Li Chengqian showed any dissatisfaction again, the patriarchs of these aristocratic families would kill those concubines and stewards outside the gate of the Wang family without hesitation.

And even if Li Xuan sent Li Chongyi and others to investigate one by one, the result of the investigation was that all the things were done by the stewards of the various families without telling the patriarchs, and had nothing to do with the patriarchs and the sons of the respective families.

Of course, this is also true.

Good reputation and things are enjoyed by the son-in-law.

And bad reputation, some evil deeds, are done by bastards.

This is the difference between a prostitute and a concubine!
Only the descendants have the right to inherit, and only the descendants are the children of each family. Those concubines have been serving the descendants since they were born.

Even bastards can be discarded at will.

Moreover, this situation has already become common sense in people's minds in the Tang Dynasty. Anyone who dares to violate it will provoke the interests of all the families and dignitaries, and will be hostile by the dignitaries of the families and dignitaries all over the world.

"Don't worry everyone, this king will investigate this matter in detail!"

Li Xuan also knew this iron law that had been laid out on the surface, so he just snorted coldly and did not express too much anger.

Moreover, he never thought that these aristocratic families would be ransacked and exterminated.

Originally, he just wanted to destroy a Wang family, and the Meng family was just an accident.

"Thank you, Your Highness King Jin!"

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

All the people of the aristocratic family hurriedly bowed their hands and saluted in gratitude.

"For the next few days, please stay here!"

Li Xuan smiled faintly, and explained along the way.

"I'm afraid that at night, another group of thieves will come in and try to assassinate me and the crown prince!"

"Don't worry, although the Wang family was destroyed by this king, there are a lot of rooms in the Wang family's mansion, which is enough for you to stay at night! In addition, you don't have to worry about eating these, the food of the Wang family is enough for me and everyone to eat for half a month. !"

"This……"

The patriarchs of the aristocratic families hesitated again.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is an honor for all of us to live in the mansion of the royal family with His Highness King Jin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

However, there are many affairs in my family that I need to deal with every day..."

"It's okay, you can send your housekeepers to the Wang's mansion to look for you, and you just need to explain clearly to them."

Li Xuan waved his hand casually, "Don't worry, this king will only stay and wait in the Wang's mansion for five days. After five days, this king will be almost done with the investigation!"

"However, within these five days, please don't make any fools!"

"His Royal Highness, please rest assured!"

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

Hearing that Li Xuan only stayed with them for five days, and allowed them to see their housekeeper within these five days, they were relieved!

At most, he was placed under house arrest for five days.

Moreover, maybe these five days are still an opportunity for these families.

After all, among so many great families in the world, which family can stay in the same mansion with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like them for five days!
If more of their bastard sons-in-law go to the prince's side to get together, or Jin Wang, and those young men, as long as they can get the favor of one person, they will be lucky!

However, when they woke up the next morning, the faces of the heads of these aristocratic families were all completely dark.

Because after breakfast.

King Jin took His Highness the Crown Prince, Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi and others, and left.

Inside the Wang family's mansion, only a thousand soldiers from the Zhechong Mansion were left guarding, as well as the idiot Yuchi Baolin and the eldest Sun Chong.

All the calculations of the patriarchs of the aristocratic families were directly defeated.

One is honest and stubborn, and the other is treacherous and cunning. The key is that both of them are the eldest sons of the Duke's family, and each of them is not afraid of these family heads in the slightest.

Coupled with the fact that he has been by Li Xuan's side for such a long time, he has a subconscious dislike for these people from aristocratic families.

Therefore, as soon as the patriarchs of these aristocratic families approached, they were met with a frenzy.

Then, he could only run back in disgrace.

On the other side, Li Xuan brought Li Chenglu, Li Chengqian and others around Jiangning City.

"Third Uncle, don't we come out to investigate those families?"

After the whole morning, he either ate or went shopping, all visiting Jiangning City, Li Chengqian couldn't help being a little puzzled.

"What are they doing?"

Li Xuan chuckled, "It's not that there are officials from Jiangning City like He Dewu and Xie Lang, as well as generals from Yangzhou and Luzhou, just let them investigate!"

"Then I'll wait out?"

Li Chengqian was even more puzzled.

"It's time to visit Jiangning City!"

Li Xuan shook the bunch of candied haws in his hand, "This is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the first prosperous city in history with a population of one million!"

"Xuanwu Lake, Phoenix Terrace, Lao Lao Pavilion, Changganli... these places, since you are in Jiangning, don't you want to take a look?"

"Also, the Qinhuai River, I heard that it is very prosperous at night..."

Speaking of this, Li Xuan suddenly stopped talking.

Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and the others had weird eyes.

"Aye, isn't there a curfew at night? Besides, isn't the Qinhuai River that big river? How can it still be prosperous?"

Li Chenglu asked curiously.

Li Xuan paused, thought for a while, and then explained seriously: "Because the Qinhuai River is at night, there will be a group of evil witches who will hire gorgeous big boats to lure those weak-willed men. Especially to lure those rich men. family, so at night, it will be more prosperous?"

"I see!"

Li Chenglu nodded seriously, then thought for a while, and suddenly raised his head again and said.

"Aye, Chenglu has a firm mind and will definitely not be seduced by those evil witches. Chenglu wants to come out to have a look at night!"...

Li Xuan paused, and subconsciously glanced at Li Chenglu, "Aren't you dozing off at night?"

"Aye, don't worry, Cheng Lu will never fall asleep!"

Li Chenglu quickly replied.

"So, tonight, Aye will bring you to the shore for a look!" Li Xuan nodded.

"Thank you Aye!"

Li Chenglu nodded happily.

However, Li Chengqian, Xue Rengui, Li Chongyi and others on the side were dumbfounded.

"Master, Chenglu is still young, if you bring him here at night, will it be a little..."

It is really inappropriate for a father to take his son to visit the Qinhuai River.

In particular, it was King Jin who took his eldest son to visit the Qinhuai River. If word spread, it would make the whole world laugh at him for a lifetime, impeach the imperial censor for a year, and make Li Yuan come here angrily and scold Li Xuan.

Even, the princess of Prince Jin's Mansion...

"As long as you don't tell me, who will know?"

Li Xuan turned his head and glanced lightly at the crowd behind him.

Xue Rengui, Li Chengqian and others shook their heads repeatedly, they would never say anything.

Seeing this, Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he lowered his head again, looked at Li Chenglu with a serious face and said: "However, Luer, you also know that Aye, Gao Ming and others have wiped out the two major families in Jiangning City in the past few days. Come here secretly at night, and you have to go back after taking a look at it, and you can't be discovered by anyone."

"Don't worry, Aye, Lu'er will definitely listen to you!"

"Very good!"

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, then dragged Li Chenglu to continue walking forward.

Although Jiangning City was abandoned a lot during the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, it was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, with a profound heritage and many historic sites.

It wasn't until noon that Li Xuan took Li Chenglu, Li Chengqian and others back to the Wang family mansion.

"Master, what should we do with these families?"

After lunch and no one around, Li Chengqian asked again.

He suddenly realized that keeping the patriarchs and direct descendants of these aristocratic families in the mansion of the royal family, if it was spread out, it would cause rebuttals from those aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty, and the officials of those aristocratic families in the court would inevitably be impeached again.

For him, the prince, the influence was a bit bad.

"Let's talk about it in five days!"

Li Xuan said indifferently.

"Master, let them out after five days?" Li Chengqian was taken aback.

"Five days later, His Majesty should send someone to deal with them!"

Li Xuan glanced at Li Chengqian, and said slowly.

"Third Uncle won't personally punish them?"

Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others couldn't help but have doubts on their faces.

"These aristocratic families are deeply rooted and have extensive ties, can we kill them all?" Li Xuan asked.

"I can't!"

Li Chengqian shook his head again and again.

"If that's the case, then there's no need to stay here and waste time with them!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, "The ministers around Your Majesty are all old foxes. I'm just trying to scare the chickens and monkeys this time. How to get some benefits from these aristocratic families afterwards is what those old foxes are best at and also the most patient!"

"Hey, third uncle is wise!"

"Master is wise!"

Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and the others nodded repeatedly. …

However, the faces of Li Chongyi, Fang Yizhi and others were a little embarrassed.

Those old foxes mentioned by the Master should be talking about their Aye!
Seeing this, Li Xuan didn't say much, just waved his hands casually: "Okay, take a nap for a while, and go out in the afternoon!"

"Yes, Master!"

Immediately, everyone in the house retreated.

Take a nap for half an hour.

In the afternoon, Li Xuan took Li Chenglu, Li Chengqian and others to tour the entire Jiangning City.

at night.

after curfew.

The entire Jiangning City was silent, only the Qinhuai River opposite the Bird Clothes Lane was brightly lit.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Li Xuan brought Li Chenglu, Li Chengqian and others to the Qinhuai River under the protection of Xue Rengui, Zheng Fu and two hundred personal guards.

However, to the disappointment of Li Xuan, Li Chengqian and others, there were only a dozen or so big boats floating on the Qinhuai River.

Moreover, there were not many people on the shore.

After watching for a while, even Li Chenglu lost interest.

"A generation of ancient capitals has fallen so badly!"

Li Xuan shook his head slowly, and brought Li Chenglu, Li Chengqian and others back to the Wang family mansion.

He Dewu and other Zhechong soldiers guarding outside the Wang family mansion knew that Li Xuan and the others went out again at night, but because Li Xuan and the others had a group of guards behind them, they did not know that Li Xuan and the others had gone where.

In this way, for five consecutive days, Li Xuan kept all the members of the aristocratic families in the Wang family mansion, and then asked He Dewu and others to go to Jiangning City to investigate those aristocratic families.

Then, they kept wandering around Jiangning City.
