Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1444 No Second Emperor
The soldiers among the rebels were also afraid of death.

Qin Shubao's prestige in Datang is very high.

Therefore, when Qin Shubao drank loudly, many rebel soldiers surrendered one after another.

And once someone surrenders, others will follow suit.

When King Qi and the others saw this situation, they were very angry, but it was impossible for them to prevent these soldiers from surrendering.

It will only anger these soldiers.

At that time, everything will be over.

"It's over, it's over..."

King Qi looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh.

More and more soldiers surrendered, and Tang Jun surrounded them.

The other vassal kings were not firm in their will, and they also surrendered.

"Wing King, you..."

Seeing King Yi's surrender, King Qi and the others were outraged, and felt that King Yi was really spineless.

King Yi smiled wryly: "The situation is over, what else can we do?"

They really have no choice. If they continue to fight, they will probably only be killed.

If they surrendered, given Li Shimin's situation, they might not kill them and save their lives, but on this battlefield, it would be difficult for Qin Shubao.

This is the same as when Qin Tian killed King Huainan back then.

If these princes die on the battlefield, Li Shimin will not be in trouble, but if they go to Chang'an City, Li Shimin will be in trouble.

If they surrender, Qin Shubao won't kill them, so it's better to make things difficult for Li Shimin.

The other vassal kings smiled wryly, but they had no choice but to surrender. In the end, only King Qi was left.

He seems to have a lot of character.

Qin Shubao looked at King Qi and said, "Your Highness King Qi, Li Yuanjing has been imprisoned by the sage. You have no chance. If you don't want to die, you'd better surrender."

Hearing that Li Yuanjing was arrested, King Qi's heart sank, and he cursed secretly, if it wasn't for Li Yuanjing's failure to do a good job in the city, why would they be like this?
Now, even Li Yuanjing's dark card has been pulled out by Li Shimin, so they may really have no chance.

Helpless, King Qi could only surrender.

After several vassal kings surrendered, Qin Shubao ordered people to recruit those rebel soldiers, and several vassal kings were escorted into Chang'an City.

Here, someone has already spread the news to Chang'an City.

"Report, Lord Yi has won a great victory, and now he has escorted several vassal kings into Chang'an City."

Above the main hall, after the news came, there was an uproar.

"Great, these rebels are finally resolved."

"That's right, that's right, the threat to Chang'an City has been lifted, and those vassal kings came to King Qin, it's really time to come."

"Yes, yes, but if General Qin hadn't sent troops, they wouldn't have ended so quickly."

"........."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Li Shimin's performance was relatively relaxed. All of this was within his calculations. Naturally, there would be no problem in suppressing the rebellion.

And he knew that after this battle, those vassal kings could no longer make waves.

It is also very helpful for Datang to keep a few vassal kings, such as King Qin.

After this incident, even if he wanted to cut down the feudal clan, it would be difficult, and he would be accused of killing a donkey.

The courtiers were still excited, but Li Shimin was waiting.

Not long after, Qin Shubao brought those vassal kings into the main hall. After entering the main hall, King Qi and the others behaved well and surrendered, so they didn't pretend to be tough anymore and just knelt down.

Li Shimin glanced at them and said, "Since I ascended the throne, I don't think I've done anything wrong to you, do you? But what did you do to plot rebellion and torn my Tang Dynasty apart? Are you worthy of the Supreme Emperor?"

"The Emperor Taishang went through hardships and created a prosperous Tang Dynasty. How about you, start a civil war and get caught in the fire between our people and the water, are you willing?"

Li Shimin scolded angrily, King Qi and the others just bowed their heads and didn't talk stubbornly. Anyway, it's like this, just let Li Shimin lose his temper.

And when Li Shimin kept scolding like this, a palace official hurried over: "My lord... the Supreme Emperor... the Supreme Emperor..."

The palace people couldn't speak in a hurry, so Li Shimin stood up from the dragon chair and asked, "What's the matter with the Supreme Emperor?"

"The Supreme Emperor has passed away."

The palace man finally spoke out, and after hearing the news, Li Shimin sat down suddenly, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Father..."

Li Shimin wailed, and immediately after, the atmosphere in the whole hall became much more dignified.

Sad, sad, sad.

Some courtiers couldn't help crying, those princes and princes were crying heartbreakingly, even those vassal kings were crying bitterly at this time.

King Qi and the others also shed tears at this time.

They may not be really sad, but if they cry, they can live a better life.

But at this time, the officials all felt that Li Yuan's death was related to these rebellious lords. If they hadn't rebelled, how could Li Yuan's blood flow be out of order, leading to his death?
What Li Shimin said just now obviously intended to lead the officials to think this way.

And what Li Shimin was waiting for was the news from the palace people.

The news of Li Yuan's death must be announced. The difference is how and when it will be announced. Li Shimin's intention is to announce it when he rebelled against the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan. In this way, everyone will Blame Li Yuan's death on these rebellious vassals.

So far, it seems to be effective.

There was a lot of wailing in the hall, and it didn't stop until after a long time.

Li Shimin also slowly recovered from his grief and crying. He glanced at the officials and said, "I will tell you that the funeral of the Supreme Emperor must use the highest standard of my Tang Dynasty, and it must be held for the Supreme Emperor. , his concubines, as long as they have no heirs, they will all be buried, and moreover, the people of Chang'an City will be exempted from tax for one year with amnesty."

Li Yuan passed away, Li Shimin wanted to show his filial piety, so naturally he wanted to make Li Yuan's funeral more beautiful, and the anti-war broke out here in Chang'an City, and the people were afraid that there was still a grudge in their hearts, so in order to win the hearts of the people, they reduced and exempted taxes for one year , is also a means.

After Li Shimin's order went on like this, the officials didn't have any opinions. As for the burial, everyone didn't think it was a big deal. After all, it is very common for the emperor to die and the concubine to be buried. , did not really put an end to it.

"King Qi and the others originally conspired to rebel and committed a heinous crime, but I hope you will surrender in time and demote you to common people. Go to Lingnan."

The land of Lingnan is dangerous, and it is a place where prisoners are sent. It is not a good place for King Qi and others, but it has given them a life.

King Qi and the others could only express their thanks in a hurry.

After the death of the Supreme Emperor, there will be no second emperor in the hearts of the world.
