A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 628 Son of Destiny
The stone tablet fell from the sky, and golden light illuminated the sky. People throughout the city are clearly visible.

Everyone was kneeling on the ground, trembling all over. Some people were afraid of the miracle before them, while others were excited.

Those who are afraid are naturally people with evil intentions, and those who are excited have more thoughts.

Some people even saw such a miracle and had some thoughts of immortality in their hearts. If Wang Xuanjing knew that someone thought of immortality, he would probably not be able to help but ridicule him.

As the descendants of King Haotianwen, none of the Wangs in the past generations have lived forever. Why do you think you can live forever? Is it because of your big face?

But those who are caught up in fantasy simply ignore these facts.

Liu Wuzhou was executed in front of countless people, and was nailed to the pillar of shame, and would even be remembered for thousands of years.

At the end of a trial ceremony witnessed by countless people, a stone monument stood on the high ground outside Jinyang City. This stone monument will stand here for thousands of years to come.

Anyone who dares to betray Zhu Xia will be recorded.

Wang was very satisfied with the scene before her. From now on, no matter who established the new dynasty, they would be in awe.

Now he was able to establish the Tang Kingdom and proclaim himself emperor, partly because of his status, and partly because he had a good son!

Wang Xuanjing hated Qi Wang Li Yuanji deeply, and the things he did could no longer be explained by the word naughty.

It is completely tyrannical and cruel. Now he is just a king of Qi. He can do so many things by guarding one side. If he becomes a vassal king in the future, the local people will definitely have a hard time.

In Wang Xuanjing's view, the current leader of Li Tang, Li Yuan, was not a qualified founding leader. During the time after arriving in Jinyang, he had figured out why Li Tang had said that Jinyang was lost.

And what about the officials who originally advised the King of Qi and wrote to him? If someone in the court had not dissuaded him, Li Yuan would have killed those officials who dissuaded him, and he would have blamed them for the loss of Bingzhou.

At the same time, he employs people improperly, has unclear rewards and punishments, and is indecisive. It can be said that he is not the material of a founding king at all.

And when that time comes, they won't be able to change the door, so there will only be one way to go.

Wang Xuanjing met Fang Xuanling at the official office, but did not immediately reply to Qin King Li Shimin's solicitation. He had clearly seen Li Shimin's talent during this period.

In Wang Xuanjing's view, Li Yuan and Yang Guang have the same problem, that is, they do not regard ordinary people as human beings at all. They attach great importance to those children of aristocratic families and despise children of poor family backgrounds.

With Li Yuan here, even if Li Shimin is excellent, he can only be a minister. Plus, he has an elder brother. When Li Yuan dies, it will be his elder brother who takes the throne. Unless his brother died in an accident, Li Jiancheng was in good health and the probability of death from illness was too low.

The most adept at fighting and the most suitable person cannot be the emperor, and he is also the one who contributes the most to pacify the world. Even if he himself doesn't want to be the emperor, what about the people below him?
Those people who followed him threw their heads and shed their blood and went through life and death. Naturally, they wanted high-ranking officials, generous salaries, and wives and children. If they didn't have these, how could they give up.

In Wang Xuanjing's view, Li Shimin was brave and good at fighting, had a sharp strategic vision, was good at accepting advice, and had a benevolent heart for the people. These qualities were exactly the template of the founding king!
The only two shortcomings are that he has an unreliable father and an elder brother who is good at internal affairs.

And how did Li Yuan deal with it? He just gave him a mild reprimand and revoked his official position. As a result, he was reinstated not long after.

Even if Li Shimin is unwilling, he will probably have to fight with Li Jiancheng.

Wang Xuanjing saw Li Tang's hidden dangers. Although he was optimistic about Li Shimin, he still did not make an immediate decision. He was going to go back and discuss it with his brother.

After the trial of Liu Wuzhou, there is still another problem that needs to be solved. That is where Jinyang belongs. The Wang family had never thought about occupying Jinyang. After annihilating Liu Wuzhou, they were ready to leave, but to whom would Jinyang City be handed over?

Wang Xuanjing thought for a while and finally handed Jinyang over to Li Shimin. After all, this was originally Li Tang's area.

As for Dou Jiande, he occupied the Eight Passes of Taihang. After both sides destroyed Liu Wuzhou, Li Tang and Dou Jiande directly bordered. The relationship between the two parties who were still able to cooperate has immediately become subtle.

Dou Jiande occupied the Eight Taihang Passes and basically controlled the road into Shanxi. He could lead his army into Shanxi at any time if he wanted. However, if Li Tang wanted to attack Hebei from here, he needed to break through the Eight Taihang Passes first.

The Eight Passes of Taihang are the road connecting Jizhou and Bingzhou. Most of the journey requires passing through the Taihang Mountains. The road is difficult to pass and it is not easy to break through.

Now under the control of Dou Jiande, Li Tang naturally has a bright light on his back.

After Wang Xuanjing led his army to leave, some friction began to appear between Li Tang and Dou Jiande.

But both sides were relatively restrained. After all, they had just fought a battle with Liu Wuzhou. Both sides had consumed a lot of weapons, food and fodder, and the soldiers also needed to rest.

Both sides knew that they were about to engage in a life-and-death battle. The winner would unify the north, and the loser would have nothing to lose.

Wang Xuanjing returned to Huainan.

Wang Xuanze summoned the direct descendants of the Wang family for discussion.

By now, the situation in the world has gradually begun to become clear. Now the people with the best chance of unifying the north are Li Tang and Dou Jiande. As for Wang Shichong who occupied Luoyang, in Wang's view, he was like a withered bone in a grave, and he would be captured by both sides sooner or later.

Because Li Mi of Wagang Village killed Zhai Rang, Wagang Village was divided, and a large number of soldiers and generals defected. It has lost its previous momentum. Now Luokou Granary has been lost, and Wagang Village is now struggling to survive.

Either side can easily wipe it out.

The south is also in chaos now, with Du Fuwei occupying Jianghuai and some grass-headed kings in other places. Moreover, it is too difficult to conquer the north from the south.

After all, not everyone is Wang and Liu Yu, who can conquer the north from the south and conquer the cavalry with foot.

Once the north is unified, the next step is to unify the world.

At this time, another news came that Shuzhong surrendered to Li Tang, and Li Tang directly obtained the land of Bashu without any bloodshed.

With Bashu as the rear, Li Tang's strength has been greatly improved, and now Dou Jiande is obviously no longer his opponent.

After Li Tang received support from Bashu, he immediately led his army to attack Luoyang. I want to get rid of Wang Shichong, open up the way out to the east, and then destroy Dou Jiande.

Wang Shichong's previous battle with Li Tang had already damaged his strength. Now that Li Tang was stronger, his situation was naturally more dangerous.

After Wang Xuanze learned that Bashu surrendered to Li Tang, he sighed: "Li's destiny is with him!"
