Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Chapter 116: Crazy General Tiance?So why not!
Li Junxian took in all their expressions and said with a smile: "It seems that the officials have some guesses about His Majesty's decision, but Li wants to tell you that you are wrong!!"

Wei Zheng was slightly stunned and asked, "Commander Li, how do you say this?"

Li Junxian showed an enigmatic smile.

"Of course it's because His Majesty has found a way to break the situation. All the aristocratic families can't believe the way to break the situation!"

"Everyone, at noon tomorrow, just wait and see the good show. Li still needs to notify other officials, so he will leave first and leave."

Li Junxian resigned without any delay.

He is only responsible for notifying the pro-Lee faction officials.

Even for these officials, most officials cannot tell the truth.

This is what Li Shimin ordered.

Firstly, it is too time-consuming, and secondly, it is to cover oneself with a veil of mystery and make pro-Li officials more and more convinced that they are not wrong in insisting on choosing the Li and Tang royal family!

Loyalty is what needs to be maintained.

And surprises can bring more loyalty.

After Li Lijunxian left, the officials started discussing.

"What does your Majesty mean by this?"

"Perhaps... His Majesty has his own considerations, but His Majesty said he could solve the problem, but is it true?"

"Changsun Pushe, do you know the inside story?"

Many officials looked at Changsun Wuji, who was the closest person to Li Shimin, and he was the first to know of any disturbances in Li Shimin.

At this time,
Changsun Wuji also looked confused.

What do you know?This is already a desperate situation, what else can your Majesty do?
He is also confused, and he also...doesn't understand!

...........................

late at night.

Lu's house, Lu's mansion.

A man in black climbed the wall and entered.

At this time, even in the middle of the night, the Lu Mansion was heavily guarded, and the man in black seemed to be very familiar with the Lu Mansion, and could always avoid all the guards very skillfully and sneak in secretly.

soon.

He came to a rockery, looked around to make sure there was no one there, and put his hand on the arm of the rockery, tapped three times to the left and nine times to the right.

With the last click, the rockery moves to the right, revealing the secret passage underneath.

The man in black jumped in calmly, and then the rockery closed by itself.

The stairs below lead directly to a room.

After the man in black walked up the stairs, he went straight into the room.

"You delayed your cup of tea."

in the room,

The deputy head of the Lu family, Fan Yang, hid his hands in his sleeves, squinted his eyes and smiled kindly, but his voice was a bit dissatisfied.

The man in black half knelt and said, "I'm sorry, there are so many Jinwu guards in the imperial city tonight, so I was delayed on the way."

"So, what happened?!"

The deputy head of the Lu family in Fan Yang asked.

He asked the man in black to go to the imperial city to investigate, which is the basis for tracing Li Shimin's abnormal behavior today.

Through regular intelligence, it was learned that Li Shimin took people to Chuhe Village, and then issued a statement on the imperial examination.

This is not normal!

Very abnormal!

No, to be more specific, anything related to Chuhe Village is not normal!
After all, the master of Chuhe Village, that man... is someone who can escape even if he becomes a hostage!

Yes!

The top management of the Fanyang Lu family also knew that King Chu was the head of the Dayan Kingdom. This was also because Zheng Jibo said it. Among the five surnames and Qiwang, his family was better than the Li family in Longxi and the Fanyang Lu family, so they told them Two top leaders.

And the King of Chu...
Now he not only escaped from the Turks, he also created an empire.

That man is full of legends, so anything related to him is legendary.

The deputy head of the Lu family in Fan Yang thought so.

"Deputy Patriarch, your suspicion is not wrong."

"Li Shimin...he has searched out poems and books from Chuhe Village that can turn defeat into victory. This time, it was his roommate Fang Xuanling who discovered it again."

The man in black will inquire about the information himself and tell the truth.

The deputy head of the Lu family in Fan Yang's eyes flashed and he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It is indeed so."

"With the Jinwu Guards here, we have no way to tamper with this batch of poems and books."

"In this matter, including the previous events, Fang Xuanling is the key to breaking the situation. He is also the key to many Chuhe Village Xinmi. With him here, there is no guarantee that our family's next operation will fail."

"This matter... As for Li Shimin taking out sacred objects from Chuhe Village again and again, what do the people in the Chu Palace say?"

The deputy head of the Lu family in Fan Yang asked.

even though.

The heads of the Lu family in Fanyang and the Li family in Longxi both received invitation letters from Zheng Jibo at the same time, but the head of the Li family in Longxi was still hesitant, while the head of the Lu family in Fanyang began to get closer to the King of Chu's army.

It was precisely because of this that they knew that someone from the King of Chu's army was in Chang'an City, and that the establishment and maintenance of Lin Restaurant that day also had some credit to their Fan Yanglu family.

And he, the deputy head of the Lu family in Fan Yang, did not originally live in Chang'an City. It was precisely because of the incident involving the King of Chu's army that the head of the family specially sent him to Chang'an City to personally contact the King of Chu's army and help them with their requests.

The Fan Yanglu family is one of the five surnames and seven hopes. It is a big family in the world. Because of the affairs of the King of Chu's army, a deputy head of the family was sent to serve them. Isn't this a bad attitude?
And that man, the King of Chu, was too legendary, too legendary, a legend that shocked the top management of the Fanyang Lu family, so he deserved to be treated with such caution.

"The people from the Chu Palace are planning to destroy other secret passages in Chuhe Village. When the incident in Chuhe Village happened suddenly, they said that General Suzaku did not have time to destroy all the secret passages and left some behind, allowing Li Shimin to take advantage of the loophole."

"But... they also said that it would be difficult to destroy it. Before the advent of Quyuanli, the supervision of Chuhe Village was not strict. It was easiest to destroy it at that time, but they were not in Chang'an at that time."

"And after Qu Yuuli was discovered, there were extremely many guards in Chuhe Village, especially the Jinwu Guards. There were so many guards, maybe even more than the guards in the palace. It would be troublesome to destroy them."

The man in black reported slowly.

The deputy head of the Fan Yang Lu family frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Tell the people in the Chu Palace that if Fan Yang Lu needs help, we will help."

"After all, destroying the only secret passage in Prince Chu's Mansion will not only be beneficial to Prince Chu's Mansion, but will also be of great benefit to our family."

The man in black replied: "Deputy Patriarch, I understand."

The deputy head of the Lu family in Fan Yang nodded and continued: "In addition, prepare to start the dark chess game. It's time for Li Shimin's lucky star, Fang Xuanling, to make him... unable to make a sound."

now.

That calm tone actually spoke shocking words.

The calm eyes of the man in black rippled, and his voice trembled: "Deputy Patriarch, are you serious about assassinating Fang Xuanling?"

"That...is a Duke, the person Li Shimin relies on the most!"

"In addition, he also has a very good relationship with the old ministers of Tiance Mansion. If he dies...then Li Shimin, Qin Qiong and others will definitely put their hatred on the family, and they will most likely go crazy. "

"A crazy emperor, Li Shimin, plus those generals and civil servants of Tiance Mansion, how terrifying it is! I believe Deputy Patriarch, you know better than me."

maybe.

He will abandon everything, kill one thousand enemies and lose eight thousand, and wipe out all the aristocratic families in Chang'an City.

The man in black dared not say these words.

But he knew.

The deputy head of the Lu family in Fan Yang can definitely think of it.

"Haha, you underestimate the charm of power."

The deputy head of the Lu family in Fan Yang squinted his eyes and smiled: "Li Shimin lost everything after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, so he went crazy, and now... he has everything. For all of this, he was willing to give up the King of Chu last time during the Weishui Incident, and The people of Youzhou.”

"And now for the sake of power, what's the harm in giving up another Fang Xuanling? If Fang Xuanling dies, then it's only the death of one Fang Xuanling."

"Power is full of charm, allowing people to get everything at the click of a finger. At the same time... it can also make people timid and afraid of losing power."

"Do you think that the emperor who stands at the top of power would be willing to bear the infamy of cruelty in future generations because of the death of his ministers, and bet on the future of the entire Li Tang royal family, and massacre all the aristocratic families in Chang'an City regardless of the reason?"

"He will hesitate, and even if he makes up his mind and is willing to sacrifice everything to slaughter the family, the officials under him, including Changsun Wuji and many officials, will stop it. If they can't stop it, they will even vote for our family."

"Only because Changsun Wuji and others also enjoy the charm brought by top power, how can they go crazy with Li Shimin because of Fang Xuanling?"

"Killing Fang Xuanling, Li Shimin will know that we did it. This is also a warning from our family to him. The second is to show our goodwill to the King of Chu who is far away in Dayan."

"If Li Shimin really goes crazy in the future and wants to kill us at all costs, we can use this move to join Great Yan!"

The man in black's eyes flickered, he lowered his head slightly and said, "Deputy Patriarch, I'm here to teach you."

This time I bowed my head in admiration from the bottom of my heart.

The deputy head of the Lu family in Fan Yang didn't take it seriously. He walked slowly past the man in black, stepped up the stairs, and walked towards the exit of the secret passage.

Followed by his still calm voice.

"Wait, prepare to do it with confidence."

"Haha, our Fanyang Lu family is so bold as to assassinate the founding emperor of the country. If we succeed, you... will also leave your name in the history books forever, leaving a strong mark."

"At that time, the history books will record like this, there was Jing Ke in the Qin Dynasty, and Zhu Lian in the Tang Dynasty."

"How majestic will this be?"

The rhetoric echoed for a long time throughout the airtight darkroom.

Hearing the words, the man in black felt a burst of fire in his heart.

Infamy and fame, he doesn't care.

To be able to leave a name in the history books is to be a hero, a hero in the world! !

........................

The next day.

It was just dawn.

Many people got up, and even some scholars got up earlier than chickens.

They look forward to the day.

I look forward to Li Shimin supporting them today!

Severely punish those bookstores that refuse to sell books!
The gate of the Imperial City.

It was just Mao, and it was already far away from a large number of people, especially the most scholars.

In the past, they hated being crowded with people, which was not elegant for scholars, but today most of them changed their normal routine, crowded people desperately, moved forward, and only wanted to get closer to the emperor.

As a result,
When the Son of Heaven spoke, they could hear more clearly.

"Why is it so late, time flies so slowly."

"Yeah, isn't it? I hope the time will come to noon soon."

"Hahaha, don't worry! I didn't sleep all night last night, so I didn't say anything. Let's just wait in peace."

at this time.

Inside the imperial city.

Changsun Wuji scouted all night, but he didn't know what Li Shimin wanted to do today.

This is the first time he has done so.

"Hey, what is His Majesty trying to trick?"

Changsun Wuji sighed, very puzzled.

at the same time.

Since this is the place where hundreds of officials gather, when those family officials see Li Shimin's first minister, Sun Wuji, looking depressed, they are more sure of their thoughts.

Li Shimin definitely wants to cancel the imperial examination!

This time, Pei Ji and the others smiled even more.

After noon, I plan to go to the Li family in Longxi together to have a good drink. Their family's wine is very good, and it is worth getting drunk.

Everyone has their own thoughts.Waiting for the arrival of noon in the discussion.

"When~"

The first bell rang in the imperial city, and it resounded.

This is a pendulum specially prepared for today's special festival. Someone will ring it at noon, and if it rings now, it means that it is noon today.

"Here it is, noon is here!"

"Hahaha, after waiting for so long, is there finally a result?"

"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for us!"

"......."

Countless scholars looked at the open gate of the imperial city and shouted heartbreakingly.

"Look! It's His Majesty!"

I don’t know how long I waited, but finally the first person spotted Li Shimin who was on the top of the city.

then.

The second person, the tenth person, one, one thousand….
In a short time, people discovered him.

Li Shimin looked down at the people at this moment, sighing.

From his position, one can see the worship and excitement of the common people.

If not for the discovery of books.

He almost lost his face when he saw them...
Li Shimin was extremely emotional,
In my heart, there are mixed feelings.

next moment.

Clean up your mood.

Restore majesty.

Lang Lang's voice came down from the sky.

"Everyone!"

Hearing this voice, the chaos below gradually ceased, and they all kept silent tacitly, waiting for Li Shimin to continue to speak.

"A few days ago, the imperial court issued an order for the imperial examination. The reason for this order is that the imperial court is short of people, so it needs to recruit available talents from all over the world, the talents of national scholars!"

"However, some thoughtful people blocked it, making it impossible for the imperial examination order to be implemented as originally expected!"

"Such thoughtful people do not solve the problems for the imperial court and the Tang Dynasty, but instead question me and the imperial court. They are really disloyal and disloyal! What use do the imperial court, the world, and even me have for them!"

Li Shimin roared angrily, venting his inner anger.

The people who heard these words were filled with righteous indignation.

As for the children of the family and the officials of the family, those who were still inexperienced were shocked and terrified.

Those with senior experience just smiled and said nothing, and didn't take it seriously.

"Hehe, Li Shimin, governing the world doesn't depend on you being so full of anger and making such a big show, you still have to suspend the imperial examination."

Some family officials couldn't help whispering softly.

However, the representatives of the aristocratic family, Pei Ji and the others couldn't laugh.

They are in high positions, and because they are in high positions, they are closer to Li Shimin and understand Li Shimin better.

Li Shimin is not an idiot. If he behaves like this today, something unexpected must have happened!

And the next moment.

The worries of Pei Ji and others came true.

Li Shimin, who was on top of the giant's head, waved his hand, and the majestic voice resounded again.

"Of course! They were in the wrong position after all."

"I am the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, and I am ordered by heaven! How could he and other caring people be able to resist, come, fetch books, sell books!"

"Today and even in the future, anyone who buys books in the imperial city will pay half the price of the books. I want Chang'an City, and even the entire Tang Dynasty, to have books to read!"

Selling….selling books?

boom!
As soon as this word comes out.

Like thunder falling into the mortal world, thunder bursts sounded.

stunned!

Shock!

confused!

Can't believe it!

Not only the officials of the aristocratic family were stunned, but even the common people were stunned.

Book?
Where did the book come from?

There are books in the imperial city?

At first, the common people thought that if His Majesty personally talked about the imperial examination, at most he would punish the shopkeepers of those bookstores who did not sell books and let them reopen.

But I didn't expect that the imperial court could sell books, and it was half cheaper than the market price!
Unbelievable!

Incredible to the extreme!
And the officials of the aristocratic family thought that they had heard it wrong.

Aren’t all books controlled by them?How could Li Shimin still have books?Did he take the wrong medicine and say the wrong thing?

And even if there is a book, it is half the market price?
Books are scarce in this day and age.

The cost of making a book is extremely high. It can be said that bookstores do not make much profit from selling books. If they sell books for half the original price, it is a loss-making business.

Now that the Tang Dynasty has experienced natural disasters and man-made disasters, the treasury is empty, and there is not much treasury money, how dare Li Shimin do business at a loss?

What the hell….
Li Shimin was stunned by the stimulation?

The first reaction of the family officials was disbelief.

And soon.

Their unbelief became reality.

I saw a Jin Wuwei, pulling an ox cart out of the imperial city in an orderly manner. The ox cart was full and covered with a white cloth, so it was impossible to see what was inside.

But when the first bullock cart lifted the white cloth, the family officials collectively crashed.

book!
They are all books!
Lots and lots of books!

Densely piled up together, like cabbages that don't cost money, there are countless! !
This… this this this….
What the hell?

What the hell?

What the hell?

The officials of the aristocratic family, and even the children of the aristocratic family outside the imperial city, their minds went blank, and all they could think about were these three words.

Hell, really hell!

The bullock cart was full of books, piles of them, and the books were carried down and piled up together, and the thickness of the books everywhere was as high as Jin Wuwei's knees.

Oh my God!

Where did so many books come from?How is this possible?

Even Pei Ji, who had already taken precautions in his heart, was dumbfounded at this moment. He would never have imagined such a scene.

I thought that Li Shimin was in public, and he wanted to use a few family officials to kill chickens and monkeys, but in the end he took out books.

This….
Didn't it mean that Li Shimin didn't have a single book in his hand?Didn't it mean that all Chang'an City bookstores are closed?
This, this book in front of me, what does it mean!
Could it be that, as Li Shimin said, it was given to him by God?

Right now,

Not only Pei Ji, but other officials of the aristocratic family were also staring at the rows of books in front of them. The number of books was enough to fill the entire field of vision. They were short of breath and widened their eyes, wondering if they were dreaming.

shocked!

Senseless!

Also completely dumbfounded!

They just stood there in a daze, looking at the ecstasy of the pro-Li faction officials with their eyes blank, and at the people who were so excited and frantically rushing into the queue to buy books.

Countless books appeared, as if they were the only ones who were unhappy.

They just feel that the whole world seems to be immersed in endless joy at this moment.

"Well, what's going on here?"

"Could it be said that Li Shimin ransacked all the bookstores in the city?"

Some family officials couldn't help asking.

His voice was choked and weak, as if he was about to cry.

Then there was no one who answered him.

Because the hearts of Pei Ji and others are also filled with endless confusion at this time, this!what is going on!

..............................

"Book, sir, I want the [Book of Songs]!"

"Mencius, I want Mencius."

"Hahaha, I want to buy [Sun Tzu's Art of War]!"

"..."

Outside the imperial city, this is a frenzy of joy for scholars.

Countless scholars raised their gold and silver, scrambling to buy a favorite book.

They knew that they could finally take part in the imperial examination and did not have to go to a foreign country to go to the great heat outside...
Home, hometown!My family has its own imperial examination! !

now.

The Jinwu guards didn't have any attitude when they saw such a commotion among the crowd.

They were ordered and that was normal and left unattended.

All they have to do is maintain the book buying process and protect the books.

That's it.

"I bought it, haha. I bought [Mencius]. Hey, what's going on? Why are there so many symbols in Mencius's book, and what do they mean?"

"My fair lady, a gentleman is so good. Hiss! The symbols separated are very ingenious, very ingenious!"

"Brother said this, and I feel the same way. These symbols seem to make it easier for us to recite them."

"It's really become easier! The books from the imperial court are much easier to memorize than the books from the bookstores in Chang'an City. They can be accessed by stairs and the prices are cheap. Haha, even if those bookstores open their doors for the second time, I won’t serve you anymore! I won’t buy from their bookstore!”

"That's right! Those shabby bookstores are begging me to go back now, and I won't buy them!"

"It's not easy. Fortunately, the imperial court has books in hand, hehe, otherwise, His Majesty will really be forced by those aristocratic families and have no choice."

"Yeah, yeah, I was almost going to be succeeded by those aristocratic families."

The common people and scholars present were discussing a lot, and they were all talking about the situation of the books, and they were very enthusiastic.

at the same time.

Inside the imperial city.

Changsun Wuji and the others were all smiling.

"Haha, Pei Sikong, what's wrong with you today? You don't look very well, are you sick, do you need to see a doctor?"

Changsun Wuji came to Pei Ji with such an insolent smile.

This was the heartiest laugh he had ever had since King Chu was sent to the Turks.
.
…….….….….….
ps: I saw some book friends questioning the plot of Li Shimin discovering modern objects.

All I can say is, if you have some confidence, you will definitely feel better later.

Why not refer to the past, has the author written any garbage plots?

The author said in his remarks when he put it on the shelf that the plot is definitely different from the conventional books on the market. The protagonist does not appear until the first fourteen chapters of this book. Who would do that?Even the great master Dian Niang wouldn’t dare, right?

(End of this chapter)
