Prince of Tang Dynasty is too arrogant

Chapter 797 To survive, bite each other

"No, no. We have surrendered, His Royal Highness can't just be like this..." Several ministers who were restrained by the soldiers heard Li Chengqian's words, their hearts became more and more frightened, and they desperately wanted to explain something.

Li Chengqian had given them a chance before, but they didn't cherish it.But now Li Chengqian is not going to give them another chance.

Looking at those ministers with contempt, Li Chengqian said sarcastically: "My lord really obeys me, Tang!"

No matter how those ministers tried to defend, Li Chengqian didn't give them another chance, and directly ordered someone to gag their mouths, "It's really noisy!"

After receiving the order from the palace, the army of butchers outside the palace quickly sealed off the entire king's capital.All the ministers who were planning to escape and pack their luggage in the house were arrested above the central palace hall.

When the people in the capital saw the army of butchers who were resting just now, they immediately took up weapons and rushed into the houses of various ministers.

Where have those common people seen such a big scene before, their heads were lowered even lower.Some people thought that they were really about to die, and they fainted in an instant.

"They, are they going to kill us!"

"No, I don't know. Stop talking, they saw us..."

The soldiers of the butcher's army cast their eyes on them coldly, and the people were so frightened that they no longer dared to speak out, and all knelt on the ground trembling, fearing that they would lose their lives in the next second.

All kinds of screams and the sound of things breaking came from various houses.

There are also some people who have not recognized the reality until now, "You have no right to arrest me, I am Goguryeo..."

"His Royal Highness has ordered that if anyone stubbornly resists, he will be taken to the hall to be executed immediately!" A soldier just finished saying this, and the minister who was stubbornly resisting before was frightened into a quail in an instant, and did not dare to make a sound.

The army of butchers escorted all the ministers to the central hall.

All those high-ranking officials and nobles who were arrogant and domineering on weekdays were all kneeling at this time.

Li Chengqian was sitting on the throne, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, which had beheaded countless Goguryeo soldiers.Behind him, soldiers of the White Robe Army stood on both sides of the throne holding sharp Tang-made swords.

Hou Guangliang, Chai Lingwu, and Qin Huaiyu stood under the throne, also holding their own weapons, staring at the nobles with piercing eyes.

The gate of the palace was tightly guarded by the army of butchers outside. As long as these ministers dared to make any changes, the only thing waiting for them was "death".

Above the main hall, there was an incomparable silence.

Li Chengqian didn't speak, but just looked at the ministers kneeling so coldly.

The coercion fell directly on the minister who was kneeling on the ground in silence.Some ministers swallowed their throats, already a little out of breath, and cold sweat continued to overflow from their foreheads.

In the end, a Goguryeo minister still couldn't bear Li Chengqian's pressure at all, and took the lead to beg for mercy: "His Royal Highness, Your Highness, please let me go.

"I didn't do anything. As long as His Royal Highness can let me live, I am willing to offer all my wealth and do my best to serve you."

"The work of a dog and a horse? There are countless talents in our Tang Dynasty, what are you?" Li Chengqian was very dismissive of this.

When the minister heard this, he panicked immediately, wanting to find a way out for himself, "No, no. His Royal Highness, I... I know where the treasures of the treasury are!"

"Oh? If that's the case, then tell me." Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows, and suddenly became a little interested in what the minister said.

Seeing a slight change in Li Chengqian's attitude, the minister quickly said, "Yes, it's Lord You and the others. They moved all the treasury's treasures away. They said that after you left, they would take these treasures and escape from Goguryeo..."

"Kangda, you don't want to spitting blood." The Master You who was spoken by Kunta hastily defended before Kunta finished speaking.

"Your Majesty the Crown Prince, you know that it is Kang Da who is slandering us. It is clear that he secretly hid all the gold from the treasury. I know, I know where he hides!"

"Shut up!"

"Why don't I dare to say it." Master You was already pressed into a hurry, "His Royal Highness, Kang Da hid all the gold under a big tree in the backyard of his house, you can send someone to investigate. There are also Wang Cong, Xiu Kang..."

That Lord You immediately mentioned the places where several people hid their treasures, and those ministers who were named were shocked when they heard that Lord You exposed them, and they all defended Li Chengqian, revealing the places where other people hid their treasures. Trying to exonerate himself.

And some Goguryeo ministers who were still a little bit clever saw that the fire was about to burn themselves, and they were very anxious.

I thought in my heart that instead of letting others betray me, I might as well confess myself, and maybe I can get a frank and lenient ending, "His Royal Highness, I have already realized my mistake, I really know my mistake. I put 100 million gold Hidden in a secret room in my study."

"I, I put thirty buckets of pearls and emeralds in the camera obscura under the bed and in the emerald vases in the study."

"Me too, I put 300 million gold..." Those ministers clamored and scrambled to confess where they hid their treasures.

"Okay, didn't you say that you only got 30 taels of gold? How dare you lie to me!"

"Didn't you also say that you only took ten buckets of pearls and emeralds?" There were also people who confessed and started to quarrel with each other.

And seeing these high-ranking officials and nobles in Goguryeo start to turn against each other, the corner of Li Chengqian's mouth curled up in a sarcastic arc.

Sure enough, human nature is like this.When you threaten yourself, you will start to drag others into the water desperately.But only in this case can the ugliness of human nature be seen more clearly.

Li Chengqian found it ironic, and it was even more boring to see those Goguryeo ministers all begging pitifully.

The air pressure around him became lower and lower, and Li Chengqian said coldly: "Is the quarrel over?" The two ministers closest to Li Chengqian shuddered.

"When you're done arguing, shut up for me!" Li Chengqian's voice suddenly increased.Only then did the ministers realize what stupid things they had done, but it was too late to regret it.

"Have you written down everything they just said?" Li Chengqian got up and took Fang Tian's painting halberd and walked off the throne. Li Chengqian walked among the ministers and said to the soldiers following him.

"It's been written down." The soldier replied.

"Do you think that all you need to do is to mention these places?" Li Chengqian looked at the ministers without the slightest warmth, and then said with a dark smile: "But if I kill you, I can still get the money! You think How is it!?"
