Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

Chapter 54 Li Shimin’s liquidation begins!

Li Shimin only temporarily asked Li Heng to supervise the country. If Li Heng was also a dead wood that could not be carved, then Li Shimin would not mind another person in charge of the Tang Dynasty.

It doesn't have to be Li Longji's son, or even a person from this parallel world.

Li Shimin could let people from the Zhenguan Dynasty come over to take charge of the Tang Dynasty.

"As for you, Yang Yuhuan! I believe that you have not interfered in internal affairs and have not harmed Zhongliang, so I will let you go for the time being!"

Speaking of which, Yang Yuhuan was also helpless. She was the wife of King Shou and was forced to become Li Longji's concubine.

To put it bluntly, the culprit behind all this is Li Longji.

"Thank you, His Majesty Emperor Taizong!" Yang Yuhuan was very lucky that Li Shimin did not attack directly and was still reasonable.

The luxurious life of the Yang sisters is not due to corruption. It is Li Longji who willingly gave it to the Yang sisters.

If there is a mistake, it is also Li Longji's fault.

If Li Longji doesn't steal Yang Yuhuan, Yang Yuhuan must be doing his duty.

"Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong!" Li Shimin looked at the two people with anger in his eyes.

Li Linfu's body trembled slightly, feeling Li Shimin's anger.

Yang Guozhong was a little numb. He didn't know who Yang Guozhong was.

Xiao Ran looked at Yang Guozhong and said, "You heard me right, Yang Zhao, you are Yang Guozhong."

"Your Majesty Emperor Taizong, I don't know! It was all done by Li Linfu. He wanted to use the Du family's case to depose His Highness the Crown Prince." Yang Guozhong sold Li Linfu directly.

In order to climb up, Yang Guozhong now kneels and licks Li Linfu in various ways.

But seeing that Li Shimin was going to settle the score, he sold Li Linfu directly.

A complete villain.

"When you knelt down and licked Li Linfu before, you didn't have this attitude!" Xiao Ran looked at Yang Guozhong playfully.

"Me, me." Yang Guozhong was speechless for a moment.

Li Linfu glanced at Yang Guozhong with contempt. Li Linfu really looked down on Yang Guozhong at this time.

There were so many people fawning over Li Linfu that Yang Guozhong really couldn't get into Li Linfu's eyes.

"Your Majesty Emperor Taizong, I don't know what Yang Zhao is talking about. He is talking nonsense!" Li Linfu did not admit guilt.

Admitting such a thing is a capital offense.

I can only hold my neck in disbelief.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Xiao Ran. I come from more than a thousand years later. I basically know a lot about the major events that happened in the Tang Dynasty."

While talking, Xiao Ran took out the New Tang Book.

Li Linfu was dumbfounded.

I didn't expect that such a person existed.

To Li Longji, Li Linfu and others, Li Shimin is a person of the past, while Xiao Ran is just the opposite, a person of the future.

"Xiao Ran, let Li Linfu know how to die!" Li Shimin said coldly.

Others also subconsciously looked at Xiao Ran, or to be precise, at the New Tang Book in Xiao Ran's hand.

Li Linfu is also the Li family of Longxi, one of the descendants of Li Yuan, not of the same lineage as Li Shimin.

"Li Linfu did a lot of things. To mention a few typical ones, he colluded with Concubine Wu Hui. The design was still the former prince. I am not unjustly accusing you of this!"

Li Linfu also resorted to any means to climb up.

In order to achieve this goal, Li Linfu began to build his own network. He did not engage in cliques between the DPRK and China. Doing so would be suspected of forming cliques.

He turned his attention from the former court to the harem, specializing in making friends with the eunuchs and concubines in the palace.

Eunuchs and concubines were the two types of people closest to the emperor. They also had the best understanding of the emperor's temperament, likes, dislikes, and thoughts, and would have a subtle influence on the emperor's various decisions.

Li Linfu was good at maneuvering and gave many benefits to the eunuchs and concubines in the palace. At the same time, he also obtained information about the emperor from them, and was well aware of Li Longji's actions and thoughts.

Therefore, whenever Li Linfu entered the palace to play a match, he could always comply with Tang Xuanzong's wishes.

As time went by, Tang Xuanzong's favor for Li Linfu grew day by day, and Li Linfu gradually gained Tang Xuanzong's appreciation and trust.

The establishment of Li Linfu's position as prime minister was inseparable from the backing of imperial power.

In other words, the reason why Li Linfu was able to hold the position of prime minister for a long time and control the government was because he had the support of Li Longji behind him.

The biggest mistake in this matter was Li Longji's.

Li Linfu brought disaster to the country and the people, and Li Longji was also to blame.

In his political career, Li Linfu committed three major crimes. First, he was jealous of talents and talents, which hindered the advancement of talents; second, he abused power and disrupted politics and monopolized the government; third, he connived with border generals, which eventually led to the Anshi Rebellion.

For Li Linfu's evaluation, it is sometimes difficult to use the black and white standard of loyalty or treachery, because it involves the major changes in Tang Dynasty politics after Zhongzong's Shenlong Coup, as well as the changes in the political, economic and military environment during the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Li Linfu is indeed capable and loyal to Li Longji. At least Li Longji appreciates him.

Li Linfu, like Yan Song of the Jiajing Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, was the scapegoat for the political responsibilities of their respective eras, and shouldered all the culpability of the era.

Li Linfu wanted to quibble, but Xiao Ran pointed to the New Tang Book in his hand, "This is the history book of the Tang Dynasty. It's useless for you to quibble. Emperor Taizong should be more willing to believe the history book than you."

Li Linfu had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his lips.

Nothing seems to make sense now.

"You have been targeting Li Heng, framed up in various ways for this, and you have done a lot of things to implicate innocent people, right?"

This is what Li Longji wants to see, and it can be regarded as what Li Longji acquiesces to.

Li Linfu looked at Li Longji, who lowered his head.

Now Li Longji is like a mud bodhisattva who cannot save himself when crossing the river.

Li Linfu acquiesced.

Li Heng next to him felt a sense of elation and elation.

These years of grievances and hardships are finally over, and Li Linfu will be punished.

"You have done a lot of things that have put people's lives at risk over the years."

Xiao Ran listed a few casually.

"What else do you have to say now?" Li Shimin looked at Li Linfu.

There may be some discrepancies in what Xiao Ran said, but Li Linfu did a lot of things.

"I have nothing to say!" Li Linfu knew that he was going to die today.

"Hmph! The hidden dangers you left behind ruined the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Li Longji is the culprit, and you are also an accomplice!" Li Shimin said angrily: "Li Linfu beheaded and killed the three clans!"

Li Shimin wanted to uproot Li Linfu's lineage.

Xiao Ran looked at Xue Hui, and Xue Hui understood immediately.

He, the general of the Golden Crow Guard, has something to do.

Jinwuwei took Li Linfu out.

"Yang Guozhong!" Xiao Ran opened the book of the New Tang Dynasty. "When he was young, he was dissolute, addicted to drinking and gambling, and was despised by his relatives. So he relied on the conditions for Yang Guifei and the Yang sisters to be favored, and carefully served Xuanzong and followed his wishes. ; In the imperial court, he tried every possible means to curry favor with the powerful official Li Linfu."

"In less than a year, he served as fifteen envoys and became an important minister of the imperial court."

Li Shimin glanced at Li Longji. In Zhenguan, Li Shimin would not even look at this kind of person twice.

But relying on the relationship between Yang Guifei and his sisters, Yang Guozhong became prosperous.

The more Li Shimin watched, the more he disliked Yang Guozhong.

"In April of the tenth year of Tianbao, Yang Guozhong recommended Xian Yu Zhongtong as the general and ordered him to lead his army to attack Nanzhao. The result was a failure. Yang Guozhong was greedy for military glory, covered up Xian Yu Zhongtong's defeat, and forged military exploits to report to the court."

Li Shimin grabbed the plate on the table and threw it on Yang Guozhong's head, "You bastard!"

Yang Guozhong felt very wronged. He didn't even know about these things and hadn't done them yet.

"In the twelfth year of Tianbao, floods and severe famines occurred continuously in the Guanzhong area. Li Longji was worried that the crops would be harmed. Yang Guozhong asked someone to bring good crops to Li Longji and said: Although there was a lot of rain, the crops were not harmed." "Li Longji." Believing it to be true, after that, Fang Guan, the prefect of Fufeng, reported that there was a flood in the area, and Yang Guozhong asked the censor to interrogate him. From then on, no one dared to report the truth."

"You deserve to die worse than Li Linfu!" Li Shimin's teeth itched with hatred.

Yang Guozhong went even further than Li Linfu. Li Linfu at least had some merit in governing the country, but Yang Guozhong had no merit at all.

Only then did Yang Guozhong realize the seriousness of the problem.

"In June of the Thirteenth Year of Tianbao, Yang Guozhong, who was unwilling to give up, sent troops to Nanzhao. Because Nanzhao adopted a strategy of luring the enemy deep into the city, they led the Tang army to the Nanzhao capital of Dahe City and closed the wall without fighting. In addition, the Tang army traveled a long distance and ran out of food and grass. Suffering from miasma and epidemic disease, they were unable to adapt to the climate, and as a result, the entire Tang army was wiped out."

"Yang Guozhong once again covered up his defeat and still forged reports of success and submitted them to the court."

After hearing this, Li Longji couldn't help but look up at Yang Guozhong.

This kind of military and national event has touched Li Longji's bottom line.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Taizong, I am wronged. I dare not, but I am loyal to the Tang Dynasty."

"Shut up!" Li Shimin scolded, "You are a scourge and should be cut to pieces by a thousand cuts!"

Xiao Ran continued, "In the end, both Tianbao Wars ended with Nanzhao's victory. Nanzhao not only betrayed the Tang Dynasty and defected to Tubo, but also surrendered the surrounding Xunchuan Man and Piao Kingdoms, and took the opportunity to advance north and occupy Jiannan Road. of Yizhou and Lizhou."

Li Shimin was really angry when he heard this.

"Xue Hui! Beat! Beat me!" Li Shimin pointed at Yang Guozhong.

"You are a bitch who fails to succeed but fails to succeed!"

Xue Hui did not hesitate, walked over and punched and kicked Yang Guozhong.

Yang Guozhong was no match for Xue Hui. He was beaten so hard that he screamed and begged for mercy.

Xue Hui did not dare to stop without Li Shimin's permission.

Xue Hui also disliked Yang Guozhong and spared no effort in the fight.

This is really cruel!
"Li Longji! This is the person you reuse! You deserve to die!" Li Shimin pointed at Li Longji, very annoyed.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Longji was the emperor before, Li Shimin would have wanted Xue Hui to give Li Longji a beating.

Li Longji knelt on the ground, afraid to speak.

He didn't expect Yang Guozhong to be so outrageous.

"If you hit me again, you will really die!" Xiao Ran reminded.

"Okay!" Li Shimin said.

Xue Hui's raised fist did not fall and stood aside.

"After that, Yang Guozhong and An Lushan didn't get along, and various false accusations against An Lushan for rebellion began."

"After Yang Guozhong became prime minister, official corruption, political corruption, and public resentment boiled over. In the fourteenth year of Tianbao, Anlu Mountain launched a rebellion in the name of crusade against Yang Guozhong to seize the power of the world."

The following Anshi Rebellion has been mentioned before.

"In addition to the ability to climb up, just save yourself from flattery and useless trash!"

"Yang Guozhong, execute him in Lingchi and kill the nine tribes!"

"Your Majesty, Emperor Taizong, spare your life!"

Yang Yuhuan also looked at Li Shimin in horror. If the nine tribes were killed, sisters Yang Yuhuan and Yang Yuyao would not be able to escape.

All were executed.

If Li Longji were not a member of the royal family, the entire Li family would be affected.

Xue Hui looked at Concubine Yang and didn't dare to ask.

Xue Hui didn't dare, but Xiao Ran had no scruples.

Yang Yuhuan recognized An Lushan as his godson and even reported the news to An Lushan, but it was not much better.

It is not unjust to be implicated.

"Where is Concubine Yang?"

"Execution!" Li Shimin did not hesitate at all.

Yang Yuhuan subconsciously looked at Li Longji, who didn't even have the courage to ask for mercy.

The Jinwu Guards took Yang Yuhuan and Yang Guozhong out directly and had to ransack their homes.

In addition to An Lushan on the road, several culprits were dealt with.

"Xue Hui!"

"His Majesty Emperor Taizong, I am here!"

"When An Lushan comes back, he will be arrested immediately. An Lushan and Shi Siming will be executed in Ling Chi and the nine tribes will be killed!"

In essence, the Anshi Rebellion was the result of internal conflicts in the Tang Dynasty, but An Lushan and Shi Siming were the trigger. Li Shimin would definitely not let these two people go.

"I accept the decree!"

"Xiao Ran, give me a list later, and kill all Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong's gang members above the court!"

"Leave no one alive!" Li Shimin wanted to wash away the court with blood and execute all Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu's people.

This shocked both Li Heng and Gao Lishi, and they killed them too cruelly.

Now Li Linfu is party and government, and there are too many people from Li Linfu in the court.

All these will be killed, and the bureaucracy will be paralyzed.

"Li Heng!"

"Chen is here!"

"Arrange for young men from poor families to fill the vacancies in the court! If anyone is dissatisfied, let him come to me!" Li Shimin behaved very toughly.

This time, the power of the noble families in the court can be weakened.

"My lord, take the order!"

Even if a family member makes trouble, Li Shimin has plenty of ways to suppress it.

After everyone else had taken care of it, Li Shimin discovered that Gao Lishi was still kneeling.

Li Shimin had no good impression of Gao Lishi.

Li Shimin read "Five Thousand Years" and mentioned in it that the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty were not good people.

There were many notorious eunuchs.

In addition, Gao Lishi was close to Li Longji, which made Li Shimin even more fed up.

If you hate a person, you will also dislike the people around that person.

"Who is this?"

"He should be Gao Lishi, General Gao!" Xiao Ran said.

"Back to His Majesty Emperor Taizong, your servant Gao Lishi!"

"How is this person?" Li Shimin asked.

"Gao Lishi was a breath of fresh air around Li Longji. He was loyal to Li Longji, but he also maintained the balance of the Tang Dynasty. He helped Li Heng no less! Gao Lishi is known as the first virtuous official throughout the ages."

Li Heng nodded quickly, "Sir, you are right. General Gao has helped me many times."

"Talk to me!" After hearing Xiao Ran's comments, Li Shimin had a better impression of Gao Lishi.

"Gao Lishi entered the palace and became Wu Zetian's eunuch, became acquainted with Wu Sansi, and attached himself to Linzi King Li Longji. In the early years of Kaiyuan, Gao Lishi followed Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty to kill Princess Taiping, and was promoted to the right prison guard general. He knew that the internal servants would save trouble, and he was awarded the third rank General, power is great."

"Cumulatively, he reached the point where he became the general of Hussar and was granted the title of Bohai County Duke. In the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, the crown prince Li Ying was deposed. Li Linfu and others planned to establish Wu Huifei's son, the longevity king Li Hao. Gao Lishi persuaded Xuanzong to promote the long-term establishment, so he established the loyal king Li Hao. For the prince."

"That's Li Heng!" Xiao Ran added.
