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

After Li Shimin's voice fell, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Changsun Wuji and others stood to both sides.

Li Junxian went down.

Soon, Pei Ji, Xiao Yu and a large group of people came up.

"Your humble servant, kowtows to Your Majesty!"

"Your humble servant, kowtows to Your Majesty!"

"..."

Everyone knelt on the ground.

The voice is loud and the breathing is rapid.

Li Shimin looked down at them and gently rubbed his hands. His eyes, which were extremely solemn the moment before, were now filled with a smile.

He stood up, smiled and walked away.

"Ouch."

"My Lords, please stand up quickly."

"We are not going to court today, why do we need to perform such a grand ceremony? Please get up quickly, Lord Pei? Lord Xiao? My Lords, what's going on?"

"Get up quickly."

Li Shimin had a loud voice.

However, Pei Ji did not stand up. He raised his head, looked at Li Shimin, and pursed his cracked lips.

"Your Majesty, this time, we came to see Your Majesty because we really have something to ask for."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me and others."

Pei Ji said in a deep voice.

Li Shimin pretended to be surprised and smiled slightly.

"My Lords, why be so polite? If you have anything to say, just say it! It's not like you're begging for anything."

"All of you are the pillars of our Great Tang. Your affairs are the affairs of our Great Tang, hehe..."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Li Shimin said softly.

Pei Ji took a deep breath. He looked at Li Shimin's puzzled expression and knew very well that Li Shimin knew in his heart what the purpose of their coming here was.

Apart from that matter, how could they come together?

Absolutely not!

However, the other party wanted him to speak out and take the initiative, so he could only follow the other party's wishes at this time.

Have no idea!

In this matter, everything is in the hands of the other party, and I have no initiative at all.

Pei Ji swallowed hard, opened his mouth, and his voice was hoarse.

"Your Majesty, we are here today to ask Your Majesty to tear down those heads on Mingde Gate."

"Of course, Your Majesty, Lawyer Pei and the others deserve to die, and they deserve what they have suffered now."

"But, Your Majesty, they have all paid the price for their mistakes and have died to atone for their crimes. Their heads have been placed on the Mingde Gate for more than two months. Now, it is impossible to tell whose head that is."

"Your Majesty, I think it is time to take them down. The warning effect has been achieved. Moreover, I...I hope Your Majesty will understand me and my colleagues. They...They are our eldest sons after all."

"I feel bad in my heart."

"Your Majesty, please make a decision!"

"Of course, Your Majesty, we support all your decisions."

"This group of people, under the pretext of going south to do business, actually deceived Your Majesty and committed such a heinous act. This is truly a heinous crime."

"Even if you grind them to dust, it will not ease your Majesty's anger, nor will it make the guilty ministers feel remorseful, but..."

"But they are the eldest sons of our guilty subjects after all. Your Majesty, please, please, for the sake of our old age and frailty, please show some mercy and allow us to take their heads off the Mingde Gate!"

Pei Ji's voice had become extremely hoarse, and he was trembling and crying bitterly.

He knelt firmly on the ground, with his forehead pressed hard against the ground, and a sound was heard.

"Please, Your Majesty, show some mercy! I am extremely grateful!"

"Please, Your Majesty, show some mercy! I am extremely grateful!"

"Please, Your Majesty, show some mercy! I am extremely grateful!"

"..."

The crowd chanted.

"Your Majesty, please consider that I have sacrificed my life for the Tang Dynasty and for Your Majesty, and agree to my request."

Wang Gui cried.

"Your Majesty, they were wrong. They have all been beheaded. It has been two months now, and their heads can no longer be recognized as they originally were. Your Majesty, please be considerate of this old minister! I beg Your Majesty to show mercy!" Xiao Rui echoed.

Li Shimin looked at them, listened to the crying sounds coming from the crowd, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji, Li Jing and the others looked at each other, said nothing, and just lowered their heads.

There is nothing much to say about this matter.

Everyone is dead.

After more than two months of exposure to wind and sun, the heads had indeed become skulls and were no longer recognizable. There was no point in hanging them any longer.

Besides, what's the point of having a series of skulls hanging on the Mingde Gate?
Your Majesty, please just consider this matter as a favor and give it to me.

However, I have to say that this group of people are really capable of making trouble. If it weren’t for Dayan, they would have really gotten what they wanted.

Tsk tsk tsk!
Before, they had no idea about it at all. If it weren't for the report from the soldier who escaped from Jiannan Road, they probably wouldn't have known about it at this time.

Jiannan Dao, fell into the hands of the aristocratic families without anyone noticing, and now the battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Dayan Dynasty is probably over.

Regardless of the outcome, the Tang Dynasty will definitely suffer heavy losses, and their aristocratic families will really make a fortune.

It’s a pity that Dayan’s appearance disrupted everything for them.

They even speculated before that the soldier might be from Dayan who protected him all the way and allowed him to return to Chang'an?

After they came back from Jiannan Road, they actually investigated the matter.

There are many checkpoints on the journey from Jiannan Road to Chang'an, and many of them are ambushed.

But, none of them stopped a single injured soldier.

This is bound to make people wonder.

After all, ordinary people definitely can't do all of this.

So, the biggest possibility is that Dayan had actually intervened at that time.

In other words, this strategy was under Dayan's control from the very beginning.

The Tang Dynasty was unaware that the aristocratic families had secretly invaded Jiannan Road, but Dayan knew it!
But this matter has ended, and no one mentioned it again.

Li Shimin looked at them, his eyes slightly narrowed, suddenly opened wide, his face full of realization.

"Oh... So that's what happened."

"oops!"

"I was negligent."

"Hurry, hurry, Sir Pei, please stand up, please stand up!"

"Actually, I had thought about this before. I wanted to hang it for a few days and then take it down. But, there were too many things that happened afterwards."

"I've been so busy every day that I forgot about it all of a sudden."

"Go, go, go quickly."

"Now go and take off the heads of my nephew and the others."

Li Shimin said quickly.

Of course he knew that there was no need to stop this matter.

He has lost all his human form, why should we stop him?

It doesn't do any good to yourself.

Pei Ji raised his head suddenly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Then... I will go then."

Pei Ji shouted.

"Go, go, go quickly."

"Xuanling, Fuji, Pharmacist, you all should follow Master Pei and the others, lend a hand, and send our nephews home."

Li Shimin was busy helping Pei Ji up. Wang Gui, Xiao Yu and the others also stood up, with excitement on their faces.

His Majesty's ready agreement was somewhat beyond their expectations.

Pei Ji looked at Li Shimin, clenched his fists heavily, then bowed, turned around and left in a hurry.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding. I am grateful to you. Your Majesty, take your leave!"

Everyone hurriedly followed.

Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji, Li Jing and others also followed.

Since His Majesty has said so, of course they have to follow.

Li Shimin looked at their backs, the smile on his face slowly faded, and he sat back on the stool.

His eyes fell on the Dayan Weekly again.

"His Majesty?"

"With so many ministers coming here, what happened?"

At this time, Empress Changsun walked in from the side.

Li Shimin glanced at Empress Changsun and gently pressed his temples with his hands.

"Nothing happened."

"They just want me to take down those heads on Mingde Gate."

"I promised them."

Li Shimin said softly.

Empress Chang Sun was stunned for a moment, then smiled gently: "Is that so? It's been such a long time, it's time to pick it."

“These guys are really looking for death.

"That's stupid."

Empress Chang Sun couldn't help but sigh a few times.

"Guanyin maid, what do you want from me?"

Li Shimin said softly.

"Oh, nothing happened, Your Majesty. I also heard that a large number of ministers came to see Your Majesty.

“So I came to take a look.”

Empress Chang Sun shook her head, but even though she said that, she walked to Li Shimin's side and gently lifted the newspaper on the table with her fingers.

"But, Your Majesty, I have something that I have been discussing for a while, and I wanted to ask Your Majesty what you think."

Empress Changsun put the Dayan Weekly on the front page.

"Speak!" Li Shimin said directly.

"Your Majesty, look, this is a residence in the new district of Yanyun City. It's almost finished. It says it will be sold in two or three months."

"I thought, why don't we buy a house here?"

"I wonder what your majesty thinks?"

When Empress Changsun spoke, she felt a little embarrassed and lacked confidence.

After all, no matter what, she was the emperor and empress of the Tang Dynasty, she was the master of this empire, and then, she actually wanted to go to the enemy country and buy a house in the enemy country.

If it were to be made known to others, it would probably cause quite a commotion. If it were to be leaked, the people of the world would probably be talking about it, and the majesty of the court and the emperor would be extremely reduced!

However, although Empress Zhang Sun was very clear about these results, the various functions introduced in this first phase of housing were really tempting...
For example, independent bathroom.

For example, the whole house has electricity.

For example, in winter there is floor heating, which makes it as warm as spring.

For example, at that height, she could stand on the balcony and look into the distance.

There is so much to say.

Every selling point made her excited, not to mention that all these selling points were now combined together.

Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin cautiously.

Indeed, this choice was somewhat cruel for Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin heard her words, his eyes suddenly focused, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his breathing became rapid.

He stared at the front-page headline about the introduction of the new district of Yanyun City.

He pursed his lips.

Somewhat cracked.

He didn't say anything. He was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know what to say.

angry?

anger?
Just stand up and accuse Empress Changsun?
No need!
Li Shimin knew very well that there was no need for this, because when he saw the news, he really wanted one.

Who wouldn’t want that?
But, I am the emperor!

I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!
Then, go buy a house in Dayan?

If this news were to be known by others, would he still have the face to live in this world? Would he still have the face to be the emperor?
Li Shimin was struggling internally, his eyes wandering, and it was very difficult for him to make a decision.

Empress Changsun seemed to have already known what Li Shimin was thinking.

She felt that there was hope, and couldn't help but take a deep breath and whispered, "Your Majesty, don't worry."

"I can let Changle handle this matter, and no one will be exposed."

"All these houses belong to Changle. It's normal for Changle to buy these houses."

"Who knows? What if something unexpected happens?"

"When we go to Yanyun City, at least we have a place to stay."

Empress Changsun seduced her.

Li Shimin took a deep breath.

He slapped the Dayan newspaper with one hand, then leaned back in his chair, breathing rapidly and his lips trembling.

He had been able to hold back before, but Empress Changsun's words broke his defenses.

silence!

silence!

"You should handle this matter yourself."

"Don't tell me, I don't know either."

After a moment, Li Shimin's voice was filled with hoarseness and he spoke slowly.

Empress Changsun's eyes lit up, and she turned around and left without saying anything.

Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun's back and closed his eyes in pain.

Am I really worthy of being the emperor of the Tang Dynasty?

This...such a decision!
hiss!
He fell into doubt.

After a long while, a sigh came from the Ganlu Palace.

"It's just a house."

"I own the whole world, what else do I need these few houses?"

"They just happened to be placed in Yanyun City."

"When I conquer Yanyun City, these will naturally still belong to me."

Li Shimin comforted himself, although he now somewhat didn't believe it.
.
….…….…….….
Changan.

A disciple of Mingde.

Pei Ji, Xiao Yu and others were shaking with excitement.

The head was taken down.

They lined up in order and each received their own portion.

The heads of four people, including Songtsen Gampo, Wallu, Songtsen Risuo and Songtsen Bushe, were thrown directly to the roadside.

Then, a group of children carried them away like a ball. Later, a wild dog rushed out, picked up the four skulls and ran away.

Pei Ji looked at the head in his arms, tears streaming down his face.

Almost everyone present was like this.

Countless people were watching from one side. (End of this chapter)
