Chapter 459 **--Give death, beheading
The establishment of Shuofangfang Town is actually a cheap move and a temporary measure. Nowadays, those who are in charge of envoys are dispatched, which is temporary dispatch, not a fixed official official.
Li Chao, the governor who controls the military and political affairs of Jiuzhou, actually doesn’t even have a formal rank. Li Chao still receives his salary according to his own grade, Kaifuyi Tongsansi.
If everything goes well, when Li Chao conquers Shuofang Jiuzhou, perhaps after a year or two, the Shuofang Town will be removed and will be included in the jurisdiction of the Guannei Road.
Li Chao didn't even think that Li Shimin would be able to control the country if he could plunder 50,000 people.
The current Jiedushi was not a vassal state in the late Tang Dynasty, and it was impossible.
The 20,000 vanguard soldiers had already put down their hoes, bid farewell to the children, and reported to the military government. They received their own armor and weapons from the arsenal, and then drove the mule to Chang'an with their homemade dry food on their backs.
The gathering military camp was set up on the north bank of the Wei River, near the Xiwei Bridge, which was where Li Chao camped last time.
Dear generals arrived one after another.
Beat the drums and gather the generals.
In the central army's tent, eight general managers arrived.
Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda and Yuchi Gong arrived first.
Then Shan Xiongxin, Luo Shixin, Guo Xiaoke and Li Junxian also rushed over. They were all Wagang generals and were quite familiar with Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda.
"Oh, Old Cheng Laoniu, I heard that you two are grabbing the landlords every day in Dali Temple, why did they come out?" Shan Xiongxin laughed at the two.
"Go to you, what's good about the ghost place in Dali Temple? I'm all moldy."
While talking, Su Dingfang and Xue Wanche also came in. They were both from Hebei and were old rivals before. They had no good expression when they met and did not talk to each other.
The drum is over.
Li Chao put his helmet on his armor and pressed his sword into the tent.
Although many people in the tent were from his uncles, Cheng Yaojin and others saluted Li Chao at this time.
"You are all my seniors, and some are my uncle Shi. But from the moment you step into this military tent, there are no seniors, uncle Shi. There are only major general managers, general managers, commanders and generals. The state has national laws and military rules. From now on, they will all call each other military positions."
Behind Li Chao is the flag given to him by Li Shimin.
The flags are dedicated to rewards, and the festivals are dedicated to killing.
"Preview the soldiers of the palace and immediately organize them into the seven armies. They will swear to fight to the battle early tomorrow morning!"
Chang'an.
In Tai Chi Palace, Li Yuan asked Li Xiuning.
"You really want to be with Chai Shao and Li?"
"My daughter has made up her mind."
"No more thinking about it? Chai Shao has been in love with you for many years. Let's talk about Li Li. It seems that Li is just a scoundrel. It is impossible for Li to leave Cui's family."
"It has nothing to do with Wen Yuan, I just don't want to live with Chai Shao anymore."
No matter how Li Yuan persuaded him, Li Xiuning was determined. After being rejected by Li Chao that day, Li Xiuning suddenly became determined to be with Chai Shao and Li. It was strange that before that, she had no plans to be with Chai Shao and Li, and she had not even thought about this idea.
But after she came out of Li's mansion, she had already had the idea of separation and could no longer be suppressed.
Li Yuan sighed.
This daughter.
Eastern Palace.
Li Shimin was also in a very difficult situation. The battle was imminent. Li Chao was the head coach of his conquest of Liang Shidu, while Chai Shao was the head coach of the northwest Longyou. At this time, Pingyang was noisy and li, which would definitely affect Chai Shao.
He even had to worry about whether Chai Shao would simply vote for the Turks in anger. Although this possibility is very low, it is not without it.
No matter what, Chai Shao can no longer be allowed to guard Longyou.
I have to transfer Chai Shao back immediately. Maybe he can still talk to Sanniang when he comes back, and it may also be possible to dispel her and leave her.
"I drafted an edict to grant Taichang Qing Dou Dan the Grand Governor of Longyou Road, and ordered him to go to Longyou immediately to replace Chai Shao, and ordered Chai Shao to join the capital!"
Li Shimin leaned on the chair with some fatigue after issuing these two edicts.
I closed my eyes and took a nap, but after a moment I woke up and continued to review the memorials.
When he saw the memorial to impeach Li Yuan and his son submitted by Sun Fujia for the third time, he knew that he could no longer stay and not send it.
Sun Fujia became more and more brave this time, and he created many illegal things between Li Yuan and his son, such as robbing the wife of a merchant and murdering his father, occupying the land of the people, etc., one by one, and there are certain evidence. With Sun Fujia's words, Li Yuan and his son are really unable to blame him for his death.
Li Yuan was Li Shimin's cousin and was a close relative of the royal family. In the past, Li Yuan also valued Li Yuan very much and often asked him to be in charge. Although he was really capable, he was his own family after all.
The royal family has indeed been a little unreasonable recently. Just because they changed their lord fields, these people were resentful, and even Li Youliang and Li Yuan and others were secretly connecting.
He knew all these things well and wanted to leave a sympathy.
But now it seems that it is impossible not to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.
The Tang Dynasty was a joint division of the world between emperors and nobles, but Li Shimin was dissatisfied with this state. He also knew that it was difficult and dangerous to change this pattern rashly.
When the Sui Dynasty unified the world, his cousin Yang Guang was ambitious and wanted to deal with the new nobles of Guanlong military achievements and the old aristocrats of Guandong. As a result, he was too hasty and used too much force, which led to the rebound of the nobles of Guanlong and Guandong and ruined the Sui Dynasty.
Li Shimin also hoped that like Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of Han, he would centralize the power and completely turn the world into a centralized rule. But reality has too many obstacles.
Although the Tang Dynasty had already won the world, it was actually not the Li family, nor the emperor's decision alone. This was even more the military merits and nobles, old gentry and emperor to divide the world.
Li Shimin's court only had 2.3 million cadets, and the population controlled by those aristocratic families must be more than twice as controlled by the court. Even the land in the world, they owned more.
This time, the title of title will be replaced.
In fact, it was Li Shimin's unscrupulous compromise, giving them higher titles and more land, but enfeoffing the land to the border, and even Li Shimin took out the feudal governor and the system of feudal division, which was a compromise.
He never thought that he would be as cruel as Yang Guang, and that the Guanlong military nobles and the Guandong gentry wealthy families would be cleaned up together. He hoped to give these gentry more land on the frontier, and even enjoy the privilege of being a feudal hereditary in exchange for the imperial court to take back the countless lands occupied by these nobles and powerful people in the Central Plains.
He had already shown his greatest sincerity and promised to enfeoff the royal family.
He also retained the royal titles of those royal families. He even made a fuss to add the successor kings under the princes and county kings in addition to the two-level titles of the royal family, and to give the royal family more kings.
But his compromise was considered weak by some people in the royal family.
He actually dares to make connections.
"Issued an order, Li Yuan, King Luling, Li Chonggao, and Li Youliang, King Changle, secretly raised soldiers and made friends abroad, and made illegal plans, and they were all given death!"
"The family property is confiscated, and the wife and daughter will enter the palace!"
When the emperor gets angry, it is the wrath of thunder.
Three princes were sentenced to death, and Li Shimin issued an order to select Li Xiaogong's two concubines, and granted him the title of princess, and married the Western Turkic commander Ye Hu Khan.
When Li Yuan heard that Li Shimin wanted to kill Li Yuan and the other three in Tai Chi Palace, he hurriedly wrote a letter and sent it to the East Palace to plead for the three of them. Li Shimin personally went to Tai Chi Palace, and Li Yuan finally nodded helplessly to agree to the death.
On that day, the three of them were sent to death in the mansion, and then their royal palaces, villas, manors, shops, industries, fields, etc. were all confiscated.
The rest of the male members of the two families were demoted to common people and exiled to Taozhou to be exiled to serve as soldiers. All the female relatives were sent to the Yeting Palace. As for property such as land, houses, slaves, etc., Li Shimin ordered them to be handed over to the largest auction house in Chang'an for auction. This auction house was actually from Li Chao's family.
The auction house quickly sent a list to the provincial eunuch, which showed the approximate estimate of the property for the auction.
It is worth about half a million jin.
In actual auction, more may be sold, in short, a large amount of property.
This property did not enter the Taicang treasury, but entered the treasury of the Inspectorate Province, becoming Li Shimin's private money. He suddenly made 500,000 yuan of money in the investment, and Li Shimin's eyes turned red.
He used all the money in the treasury to fight and reward him, but he was so poor that Li Yuan and the others were so rich that the property of the three princes was worth 500,000 jin.
He really wants to search a few more companies now. One is worth 200,000 yuan. If he collects ten companies, wouldn’t he have two million stagnants? That much money is enough for him to let Li Chao fight casually in Shuofang.
Li Shimin's sinister intentions were seen through by many nobles, especially those royal families.
Li Youliang's brothers, Li Shuliang and Li Deliang, didn't even make a fuck when their brother died. Originally, the nobles of the royal family had already drawn lottery tickets and got the documents for the exchange of land, but they had no action.
As a result, Li Yuan and the three princes were sentenced to death and the nobles immediately started to act. They honestly handed over their original contracts of Yongye Tian Juetian and exchanged them for the contract documents for the border land.
He killed three princes in an instant, all of whom were descendants of Li Hu, the Emperor Taizu of Tang.
It was only then that everyone remembered that although Li Shimin did not kill Jiancheng Yuanji behind Xuanwu Gate, he was also the throne seized by the palace. Now his father, brother and brother are all imprisoned in the palace by him. Although the treatment is pretty good, the fact cannot be changed.
"Take out 100,000 guan and send it to Li Chao. He is on the front line and needs a lot of money. He gives him the 100,000 guan to buy food or grass by himself or use it to reward the soldiers."
After getting such a large amount of money, Li Shimin did not forget Li Chao. He still remembered taking out 20% and sending him to Li Chao.
Jingxi.
It was dusk, and the soldiers stopped advancing and camped for rest.
Li Chao was eating spring rolls.
"Old Ke, we have been together for a long time, right?"
"What does Duke Zhao want to say?"
"It's nothing, I think our relationship should be pretty good."
Ke Qing continued to fix his nails with a knife, too lazy to answer.
"That's right. Didn't I ask you father and daughter to train an assassin team for me before?"
"That's the assassination team." Ke Qing corrected.
"Well, it's okay to call the assassination team. I think it should be pulled out and tested. It's not okay to just train or fight."
"Those little orphans have only been trained for three months and have not even been treated. What are they doing now? Are they going to die?"
"In this way, I can only ask you to take action. Lao Ke, one hundred taels of gold, help me kill Liang Shidu!"
Ke Qing looked at Li Chao with some contempt, "Is this your plan to defeat the enemy?"
"No matter what kind of plan he is good at winning, it is good at winning. My intelligence shows that some of the subordinates of Liang Shidu are not very convinced, and some even think that being sons for the Turks has no future and wants to join the Tang Dynasty. But Liang Shidu doesn't like to listen to his advice and is determined to be sons for the Turks. I think that if we kill Liang Shidu at a critical moment, then our army will be at the city, and then the Liang army has no leader at that time, isn't it a good time to force them to subdue them in one fell swoop?"
"You are so sure that if you kill Liang Shidu, his men will surrender?"
"Of course it's not sure, but you have to try it. One hundred taels, will you do it?"
"I'll answer this and tell me your specific request, when will you kill, ask for a head, or the entire body?"
"Wow, I didn't expect your service to be quite comprehensive." Li Chao said with a satisfied smile.
