Chapter 580 Fang Mou

The twenty or so generals of the Tang army in Li Shimin's army tent looked at each other. No one expected that such a bloody scene would appear today. If the person who died was an ordinary soldier, it would be fine, even if it was an item in the Tang army, or even Sipinlang. General, violating the military law and being beheaded by Li Shimin are all acceptable to them, but the one who died was Li Mi, the once powerful leader of Wagang Village!

In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, for a long time, among the various anti-kings, the most powerful and most promising to unify the world was this man who was almost cut into two pieces.When he rebelled with Yang Xuangan in Liyang, Li Yuan was just a grain superintendent in Huaiyuan Town. .When Li Mi led an army of 20 to besiege Taiyuan, Li Yuan was reused by Yang Guang again, and he was named the ambassador of Hedong Road, and he had some real power.But compared to Li Mi, he was still far behind. At that time, Li Yuan might have to look up to Li Mi.

Later, Li Mi became the master of Wagangzhai, with a military force of no less than 50 at its peak. He already had the momentum to win the world and become the emperor. Dozens of green forest rebels on both sides of the Yellow River and the north and south took him as the master. It was Dou Jiande in Hebei, and Du Fuwei in Jianghuai. Respect him as the leader of the alliance, once the order is issued, no one in the Green Forest Road will dare to disobey.At this time, Li Yuan was still hesitating in Taiyuan whether to send troops to rebel against the Sui Dynasty.

People all over the world once believed that the prophecy of peaches and plums refers to Li Mi, and he is the one who ended the rule of the Yang family in the Sui Dynasty.

People all over the world once thought that Li Mi would cleanse the world, and all the anti-kings in the world would bow their heads to him. Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei and others have successively invited Li Mi to proclaim themselves emperor.

But who would have thought that such a generation of heroes would have such a bleak and sad end?

Li Shimin's knife was really too ruthless, Li Mi didn't even leave a whole body behind.

Li Yuanji rubbed the sore corners of his eyebrows, looking at the second brother who was once a stranger and is still a stranger in front of him, he had mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that if it was his own knife, he would naturally be able to slash, but he would never be like Li Shimin. Fierce.He thought of his father's confession before he left, and felt a little uneasy in his heart. If he asked what his father confessed, would this cheap second brother slash at him like Li Mi?

He dare not!

Li Yuanji thought for a while and then decided that Li Mi was Li Mi. After all, it was the emperor's will, so it was reasonable for Li Shimin to cut him down.But even if Li Shimin was given a hundred guts, wouldn't he dare to raise a knife against him?

Li Shimin rubbed the blood from the horizontal knife on Li Mi's body, then put the horizontal knife into its sheath and coldly ordered the guards: "Drag this corpse out and chop it into mud with the knife, not only for rebellion, but also for assassination." Prince, chopping him up to [-] knives is not an exaggeration for such a felony. If there is still a whole piece of meat the size of a finger, I will take you to the test! See if you are so slow, how can you be a forbidden army? Just dragged them out and beat them to death with sticks!"

The soldiers of the forbidden army didn't dare to answer, they just listened with their heads down, and then they grabbed Li Mi's limbs and were about to drag them out. Li Yuanji covered his mouth and nose to block the smell of blood and said anxiously: "Don't...... Cut off the head and chop it off, I said, second brother, do you have any good craftsmen in your army? The two halves of the skull have to be sewn together, otherwise how can I work?"

Li Shimin was stunned, took the handkerchief handed over by the soldiers, wiped his hands and said: "Since it is useful to keep it, then follow the orders of King Qi to do things."

Several imperial guards couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, dragging their bloody corpses out of the big tent.They also found wooden barrels to lift out the viscera from that place, and several soldiers filled sand with sacks to bury the blood.Not long after, there was no more blood in the big tent, but the smell of blood was lingering in the tent.

After the soldiers packed up, Li Shimin turned around and asked Li Yuanji with a smile, "Yuanji, what do you want me to do?"

Li Yuanji was frightened by his somewhat sinister words, but when he thought that Li Shimin would never have a chance to be arrogant in front of him in the future, he squeezed out a smile and said: "Father still has a few words to let me know." I asked my second brother, but this question can only be asked alone."

"Since that's the case, then you all retreat."

Li Shimin waved his hand.

His generals bowed and saluted, and then withdrew from the military tent.Qu Tutong, Yin Kaishan, Fang Xuanling and the others looked at each other, then turned and left.

"What's the matter? Can't you say it in front of them?"

Li Shimin threw the horizontal knife on the table casually and asked with a smile.

Li Yuanji calmed down, cleared his throat and said, "Second brother, don't blame me, my father asked me to ask you this question. Therefore, according to the courtesy of a monarch and minister, you have to kneel down and listen."

Li Shimin's face changed slightly, then he nodded and said: "That should be the case."

He lifted his robe and knelt down on his knees, and made a great gift to receive the order.

"Ahem... Shimin, I ask you, did you kill Changsun Shunde? Did he violate the laws of the country? If not, what do you want to say to me?"

"Returning to the father... the eldest grandson Shunde died in battle and was loyal to the country. I have written a memorial to explain this matter in detail. Who falsely accused me of such a serious crime? Although I am stupid, I can also distinguish right from wrong, know good and evil, and be loyal and evil. Uncle Changsun is an important minister of the country, and even more the teacher of my son, how dare my son do something that disrespects the laws of the country and disrespects the teacher?"

"I ask you, do you know your mistake?"

Because Li Shimin's answer was quite different from Li Yuan's expectation, this question was a bit abrupt.

"My son knows it's wrong!"

Li Shimin raised his head and looked at Li Yuanji and said word by word: "The fault of my minister is that I failed to do my duty, so that the treacherous villains in the court talk nonsense all day to influence the Sacred Heart. Distinguish traitors and sycophants in court. My ministers are not cautious enough, so I should be more careful in the future."

This answer was extremely rude, so Li Yuanji immediately raised his brows: "Second Brother... If you answer like this, I won't be able to tell Father Emperor after I return to Chang'an."

"If you can, Yuanji, you just need to tell the truth."

Li Shimin smiled suddenly, making people somewhat unable to understand the meaning of his smile.

……

……

Li Yuanji froze, dissatisfaction flashed across his face.He looked at Li Shimin with a smile and said, "Father asked me to ask you, how you answer I will naturally report it truthfully. It's just that my father had expected you to say this for a long time, so my father said, if you know your mistake, you should return with the imperial envoy." Chang'an, I promise you to plead guilty. If I punish you...I'm afraid it will be too heavy for you!"

"Father really said so?"

Li Shimin raised his head and asked.

Li Yuanji sneered and said, "Why, the second brother suspects that I have falsely preached the imperial decree?"

"Don't dare!"

Li Shimin lowered his head again and asked, "Father, what else do you have to say?"

Li Yuanji snorted and said, "Where is Li Jing?"

Li Shimin bowed his head and said, "Li Jing went to collect grain from nearby counties and counties but did not return."

Li Yuanji cleared his throat and said: "Forty-seven officials in the court jointly reported Li Jing's disobedience, and the memorial has been approved by the emperor. The imperial envoy will arrest Li Jing for questioning. Unforgiven."

"I'll send someone to bring Li Jing back!"

Li Shimin said.

Li Yuanji hummed and said with a smile: "Second brother, you have to hurry up, don't make me wait impatiently. It's too cold in your barracks, and I have to rush back to Chang'an to see my father on business."

"Of course there will be no delay. If you want Li Jing, Li Jing is right here!"

This was not said by Li Shimin, but from outside the tent.Li Yuanji's complexion changed and he looked towards the door, only to see Li Jingshi, who was dressed in military uniform with the curtain raised, walked in suddenly, with a smile on his face.Li Yuanji shouted angrily: "Traitor! You are guilty!"

"What is the crime of the minister?"

Li Jing asked back.

"47 courtiers jointly report against you for treason!"

"If you want to commit a crime, why don't you have excuses?"

Li Jing sneered and said: "It should be the king of Qin's great event. Maybe His Majesty sent you, an idiot, in a coma. It saves me the trouble of thinking about a solution. Now that you have come by yourself, do you think you can come back safe and sound?" Go to Chang'an?"

"Bold!"

Li Yuanji was furious, pointed at Li Jing and cursed angrily: "You are not as good as a pig or a dog, how dare you insult Your Majesty!"

He turned his head to look at Li Shimin and asked, "Second Brother, this is your general? Second Brother, if you don't give me an explanation, don't blame me for telling Father the truth after returning to Chang'an."

"You did."

Li Shimin looked at Li Jing and said, "Even if you want to say something, it's your turn to say it alone?"

Li Jing's face changed, thinking that Li Shimin had changed his mind, he said quickly: "Your Highness, don't miss this opportunity!"

"Exactly!"

Li Shimin suddenly said something loudly, then grabbed the horizontal knife on the table violently, and without hesitation, drew the knife and stabbed it into Li Jing's lower abdomen. Group of internal organs.Before Li Jing had the slightest reaction, Li Shimin swiped his knife upwards in his lower abdomen and opened a huge hole.Li Jing clutched his wound and staggered back a few steps, looking at Li Shimin with disbelief in his pale face and tremblingly asking, "Why...why?"

"The king wants the minister to die, how can the minister not die?"

Li Shimin said in a flat tone, then he turned around and asked Li Yuanji, "Master Imperial Envoy, are you doing the right thing?"

Li Yuanji didn't expect Li Shimin to stab Li Jing so abruptly. Seeing the ferocious expression on Li Shimin's face, he subconsciously took a step back. Being stared at by Li Shimin's eyes, he was flustered and didn't know how to answer: "When... should be like this... For such a rebellious minister and traitor, naturally you can't...
