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

You know, the two of us were important ministers entrusted by His Majesty before he left. We could be said to be the two commanders of the entire rear area. But in the end, such credit was snatched away by others. This clearly shows that His Majesty is dissatisfied with us.

"Congratulations to the three adults, haha, congratulations." Changsun Wuji clasped his fists, his voice a little bitter.

"Such an opportunity is priceless. It is a great honor for the three of you to receive this honor." Wei Zheng also agreed with a wry smile.

"My three lords, hurry up and hang up the heads of those traitors. Let the people of the world have a good look at how powerful your majesty is and how powerful the Tang Dynasty is!"

"Yes, my Lords. This is the best trophy for your Majesty's great victory. It is also the best trophy that can prove your Majesty's achievements. My Lords, please come in!"

"Such an honor is truly enviable. Please come in, my three lords! Please show your majesty's achievements to the world!"

"......."

Later, many officials from aristocratic families also smiled and clasped their fists. Their voices sounded normal, but those who understood the situation knew clearly the sarcasm in their words.

Show the world!

Show the world how Li Shimin deceived his people!

Li Shimin, it's over!

From now on, the majesty of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will completely fall to the bottom. Even the reputation that Li Shimin had built up in the late years of the previous dynasty has been almost completely consumed after this incident. From now on, the aristocratic families will no longer have to worry about anything when doing things.

Everyone was proud.

Pei Ji, Wang Gui and Xiao Yu smiled, clasped their fists to everyone, and walked quickly towards the carriage.

"Oh, by the way, Lord Wang, Lord Pei, Lord Xiao, before you open it, I have one more question I want to ask you three."

"Lawyer Pei, Xiao Rui...where have these little guys been?"

"I didn't see them in the crowd."

"..."

Li Shimin looked up, smiled and pointed toward the crowd in front.

It can be said that among the crowd in front, there are a large number of second-generation dukes.

Cheng Chumo, Fang Yiai, Du He….
All these people are here, participating in this important ceremony.

However, there was no sign of Lawyer Pei and his companions.

As for where they went, Li Shimin knew it very well, but he wanted to ask the three people to see what they had to say.

"what?"

Lawyer Pei did not expect Li Shimin to ask this suddenly. He felt a sudden worry in his heart and raised his head abruptly, but saw that Li Shimin was looking at Cheng Chumo, the direction of the young second generation. All of a sudden, he felt relieved.

It seems that Your Majesty did not specify anything specific, so he was probably just asking casually.

indeed,

Lawyer Pei, Xiao Rui and the others were missing, but they were still quite conspicuous in the young master's formation.

After all, there are quite a few of them.

"profound."

"Your Majesty, I don't know about him either."

"My son has grown up, and it's not up to his father. I don't ask what he does now. During the Chinese New Year, I heard him say that he was going to Lingnan Road to do business."

"Oh, Xiao Rui and the others are also here. Hey, they don't care about the court, they just want to be rich, so let them be."

"As fathers, we just want them to be safe and sound. As for the achievements of the court, since they are not interested in it, we will not force them. I have worked hard for Your Majesty and devoted my whole life to the Tang Dynasty. This is the blessing of this old minister. If they don't have this blessing, there is nothing we can do."

Pei Ji opened his mouth and gave a perfect excuse.

As expected of an old fox.

Xiao Yu nodded repeatedly: "Yes."

"These kids, ah, I can't take care of them. I'll just leave them alone. When they left, they told us they were going to the south. Now I don't know where they are. It's been so long, and I didn't even write a letter. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Wang Gui also reacted instantly and added quickly.

Xiao Yu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty, don't talk about this. When these little guys come back, we will ask them to go to the palace to pay their respects to Your Majesty."

"Let's open the box now."

Xiao Yu was quick to divert the matter away.

Fang Xuanling, Qin Qiong and others were right beside them, looking at the three old foxes with smiles on their faces. And now, the smiles on their faces were even more excited.

excited!

Really excited!
Hands, wipe them tightly.

Even the big toe was about to drill a hole in the sole of the shoe.

These old guys,
Every word he said was like a brilliant lotus, and everything he said was flawless.

If it weren’t for Dayan, I would have been caught by you.

What a pity, who told us to run into Da Yan?

open it!
Open it quickly!
In their hearts, they were also frantically urging the three people.

Li Shimin nodded.

"Too."

"When children grow up, they will have their own paths."

"It's good to go out more often and see the world. When I return to Chang'an, I may have to find them to learn about the situation of the people in the world."

"In that case, my three lords, please open the box."

"The people are getting a little impatient."

"Hehehe..."

Li Shimin smiled broadly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The three of them responded in unison, then swiftly boarded the carriage, took the key, and skillfully opened the copper lock. The three of them pushed hard together!

At this moment, countless eyes were fixed on the wooden box.

Pei Ji, Wang Gui and Xiao Yu all looked directly at the things in the box.

Just at this moment.

Bang!
The three men slammed the lids of the boxes in their hands.

The three of them all had pale faces and round eyes!

Bloodshot in the eyes,
It instantly filled my eyes, and the refreshed spirit I had felt before completely disappeared at this moment.

Senseless!

Silly!

Surprised!

shocked!

Breathe and explode!
Lips, purple!
Hair, upside down!

They stared at the box intently, as if their acupoints were pressed. They couldn't move at all, really couldn't move at all.

That is….
Gulp!!!
The three of them swallowed hard, but this spit, which was usually the simplest action, now felt like swallowing a knife.

pain!
It hurts!

Do not!
Do not!
Do not!
How could this happen, how could this happen!
The defense of Jiannan Road is impregnable, and Tubo is a powerful country that has existed for thousands of years. With Tubo and the aristocratic families defending Shu Road together, it is absolutely foolproof. But now, but now...

No, this is impossible!

This is impossible! !
The three of them looked at each other, blinked their eyes hard, gritted their teeth, bent down together, and grasped the edge of the box tightly, with veins bulging on the back of their hands.

I read it wrong!
I must have seen it wrong just now!

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
The three of them roared like wild animals, and then they opened the box again. This time, the three of them were completely dumbfounded.

The whole person stood there motionless, staring at the head in the box, and then, the next moment...
Pfft!
Pfft!
Pfft!
It can be said that the three people fell down at the same time and fell off the carriage.

This made the owners of countless pairs of eyes around look confused and bewildered.

"What's going on? What happened? What's in the box? Why did Master Pei and the others fall down? Is there poison in the box?"

"How is it possible! These heads must have been put into this box by your majesty. How could they be poisoned? I guess it must be too bloody. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, so many heads, this box must be full of blood. So, the three adults must be scared."

"That's not right. It doesn't make sense. The three of you are used to big scenes. You have experienced the last years of the previous dynasty and fought all the way. What kind of blood and swords have you not seen? What kind of situation have you not seen? How could you fall down like this?"

"That's true, but what's going on? What on earth is going on? What's in that box?"

"I don't know. I'm so anxious. Your Majesty, since the box has been opened, let's hang the head in the box on the city wall!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, hang it up quickly, these damned traitors should be punished like this!"

"..."

The people were talking a lot.

The curiosity in their hearts now can be said to be like a burning forest, or a forest full of dead trees that is burning and cannot be stopped.

Originally,

They were extremely looking forward to this statement and wanted to see the heads of so many rebels and the Tubo Chanyu Songtsen Gampo.

Now, they didn’t expect that the box was so powerful that it directly knocked over three important officials, and they became even more curious.

"What's in there? Why are Master Pei and the others dizzy?"

"I don't know. Is it too brutal? It shouldn't be like this. What's going on?"

"Hiss! What's in there? Could it be... Gudong! No way, that can't be!"

"Fuck! Don't scare me. No, no, no, it will never be like that. It's definitely not what we think. Jiannan Road is as solid as a rock. It will never be like that!"

"..."

Among the ministers, several of them narrowed their eyes. Seeing this scene, extremely frightening thoughts suddenly appeared in their minds.

Is this really the case?

No, absolutely not!

Absolutely not! !
They absolutely did not believe that their children had all gone to Jiannan Road.

damn it!
No, no!
They were all silently reciting and praying in their hearts, but even so, they felt uneasy, their hands were sweating, and the clothes on their backs were instantly stuck to their skin.

They stared at the box, their throats aching.

Pei Ji was numb.

Wang Gui was numb.

Xiao Yu was numb.

The three of them lay on the ground, looking at the azure blue sky, but even so, the world was spinning around them, and it seemed as if their souls were being sucked away.

It's all ink and muddy.

My mind is blank!
They couldn't imagine, they couldn't imagine that the box was full of heads, and on the top layer were those of Lawyer Pei, Xiao Rui and the others.

Pei Ji and his friends have been with the children for such a long time, so naturally they would not be wrong.

That's their son.

That was them, the son they sent to Jiannan Road.

Why is this happening?

Why is this happening?

Why is this happening?

This was the only thought in the minds of the three people.

They were really going crazy, they were really going crazy. Jiannan Road was clearly as solid as a rock, the Tang Dynasty was clearly in ruins, and Li Shimin could not hold on any longer. But how could it end up like this?

hiss….
That’s the Road to Shu!

That is the Shu Road where one man can guard the pass and ten thousand men cannot open it!

It was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to break in, absolutely impossible. How did Li Shimin do it?
Sneak attack!

Assassination!

Correct!
That's for sure!
Otherwise, Li Shimin would never have been able to do this. He launched a sneak attack while Chang Sun Chong and others were careless!
But, but….
But can assassination really cut off the heads of so many people at once?

If that's true, they are really stupid.

Do not!
That shouldn’t be the case!
So, what's going on?

What exactly happened in Jiannan Road?
How come Lawyer Pei, Xiao Rui and their lives, their heads, are here?

Oh no!

The three men were truly completely crazy. They felt weak and numb all over. They forgot to get up and just lay there.

Li Shimin looked at the three of them and smiled gently.

"Haha, it seems that the three of you have been working so hard for the country while I was away on the expedition that you forgot to rest. You are all so excited."

"For a moment, I was so excited that I couldn't stand still."

"Hahaha."

"Come here, help the three gentlemen get back on the carriage. I want the three gentlemen to hold up the heads of those traitors. What do you think?"

Li Shimin looked at the people around him, and then raised his arms and shouted in a clear and loud voice.

Immediately, it aroused the people's agreement like a tsunami.

Wang Gui, Pei Ji and Xiao Yu were all held up.

But the three of them were in a daze, their souls and consciousness had not returned to their places, as if they had not a bone in their bodies. If there had not been soldiers holding up their arms on each side, they would have surely fallen to the ground again.

"Three adults."

"please."

"Everyone, please wait."

Li Shimin smiled and urged.

Pei Ji, Wang Gui and Xiao Yu stared at Li Shimin in a daze.

I don't know how long it took before the three of them reacted.

They knew that this time, His Majesty had no intention of letting them go, or rather, he had no intention of letting them go before they bowed their heads.

His Majesty didn't even take care of me in my half-dead state, and just told me to go down.

I have to force myself to lift up...lift up their heads.

Gudong!

This explains everything. It is impossible for Your Majesty not to know them.

Just now, His Majesty did not notice Lawyer Pei and others in the crowd, so he took the initiative to bring them up.

Your Majesty knew that Lawyer Pei and the others' heads were inside the box before it was opened.

The three men felt powerless.

Go up and bring it up again?

How can it be!

No matter how big their hearts are or how thick their skins are, they can't do this.

Holding his own son's head in his own hands?
