Chapter 88: The Chaos Brought by an Early Death
Li Yuanba ordered Li Siming to make a list of all participants, and he would send them one by one to be killed!
Li Yuanba's movement, from his mansion surroundings to the most primitive electromagnetic waves transmitted everywhere! The current technological level of the Tang Dynasty is very valuable, decades of development from nothing to something, now people are already studying the technology of image formation, this technology has a theoretical foundation, it is those masters who have condensed their true energy to the extreme and formed a virtual shadow! When this technology is developed, it will have an immeasurable boost to the application of electricity! This primitive electromagnetic wave and the study of image formation technology are clearly not in line with the development of applications, which must be said to be a kind of deformed science and technology, but such development is normal for this world!
When Li Yuanba led the army out of the palace, it seemed to be heading towards Chang'an. Those who spread rumors and supported him from behind began to panic a bit, but eventually calmed down! The reason is simple: first, this is the time when all nations come to pay homage, and any behavior that loses national dignity must be postponed; second, the largest source of rumors is the imperial palace supporting rumors. Li Yuanba can't kill him even if he wants to?! Moreover, the current top leader did not participate but also did not stop it? Would he dare to offend everyone for a family matter? If the sky falls, there will be someone to take responsibility, and at most, find a few scapegoats, and the matter will pass. Making a big deal out of it is not good for anyone!
That's their calm reason, once it gets big, it can't be solved by just a few deaths. If Li Yuanba really investigates to the end, it will definitely be a miserable scene of everyone turning against him! Li Yuanba has already experienced this once in the past, dare he experience it again?!
The younger brother of Empress Changsun, Changsun Wuji, had been living with her since childhood and the two grew up together, supporting each other. Their relationship was extremely deep! After marrying Emperor Taizong of Tang, Changsun Wuji followed his brother-in-law to conquer the world and won his favor. However, due to a single sentence that stopped Li Yuanbao, who was not a good person, he was exiled and nearly exterminated, with over 10,000 people killed! His own pleas were ignored, and when he turned to Emperor Taizong for help, he only received a helpless smile. In the end, Empress Changsun buried her hatred deep in her heart, knowing that she was just an insignificant person to the evil man, and if she provoked him, even her life as empress would be at risk! Since the last time she begged Emperor Taizong on behalf of Li Yuanbao, she knew that this person took family relationships very lightly. Although he eventually helped Emperor Taizong ascend to the throne, it was an impatient act, not a helpless one!
At the age of almost seventy, this demon still has children, isn't this a great opportunity to make him angry! Now is the time for the first tribute from all nations, even if he doesn't die from anger, I must infuriate him! So she pushed and fueled from behind, making it known throughout the world, but she didn't think that because of this small matter, Li Yuan would lead his army to Chang'an!
Empress Changsun was not an ignorant woman, and when she heard that Li Yuanba had come out, she realized that things were going to be big! Who is Li Yuanba? She and Li Shimin discussed it countless times, each time saying that this man is a reckless husband, although he can see the future, but his invincible military power makes him completely disregard any conspiracy, doing whatever he wants! If someone uses conspiracy to get benefits from him, they will end up with no whole body. If you want people not to know, unless you don't do it, hiding too deeply is no match for the passage of time, this man also has a grudge, once exposed, it's a kill!
Empress Changsun went to see Li Shimin when others still believed they were safe. Li Shimin was now worried and didn't know what to do, gathering his trusted officials to discuss how to protect the people he loved most, when she arrived!
When everyone retreated and only two people were left, Li Shimin was in so much pain that he almost pulled out all his hair!
"Guanyin, my empress! How could you do such a thing without considering the consequences?! Everyone in this world knows that this person can't tolerate even a speck of dust, and yet you... Ah! I also know the bitterness in your heart, but am I not the same? From my observation, this calamity is difficult to overcome. I vaguely sense that our great Tang dynasty will once again be plagued by bloody storms and rains. This calamity will surpass any previous one...
Li Shimin expressed his unclear premonition, and there were still some things he didn't say. He deeply knew that this time he had thoroughly provoked his third brother who was still resentful towards him. He thought of what Li Yuan had said when he coldly killed his nephew Longsun Wuji: "Take good care of your women and children! You can hate me, but don't do anything to make me angry. Do you remember what I said that time? Smash them to death on the imperial throne! That time I broke my promise, but there won't be a second time!"
Li Shimin has not dared to mention this to his empress and others until now. When he heard that Li Yuanba had another child, someone brought it up again, but he just smiled and thought the matter was harmless! After being in contact with Li Yuanba for so long, he also firmly believed that Li Yuanba would at most kill a few leaders! However, he still privately warned those below him not to spread the word recklessly, as this would have a bad influence. It's good that a few people who don't know their place died; in the future, who will dare to randomly talk about imperial family matters?!
But this matter, under the instigation of the empress, was placed before the eyes of all people. He realized that this matter had become a big deal! Li Yuanba is now what kind of person, an overbearing and unparalleled person! At first, it was just a few deaths, but now it's not just a matter of a few people dying! Such discussions have taken place several times, and Li Shimin has been keeping them from Empress Longsun, fearing she would worry.
Li Yuanba has sent troops, and Li Shimin is even more desperate! What to do? Is the woman he loves most going to die like this? He regrets not making things clear with her before, regrets not taking good care of her and not realizing the severity of the situation, regrets being unable to protect the one he loves! At the same time, he has deep resentment towards Li Yuanba, who forced him to kill his own daughter, then killed his nephew Longsun Wuji, drove his son Li Zhi mad, and now it seems that his empress is going to die at his hands too! What's going on?! If only he hadn't taken the throne back then, maybe none of this would have happened! After telling Empress Longsun everything in self-reproach, Li Shimin sat there stupidly, bowing his head and wailing silently.
Watching her loved one suffer so much, Empress Changsun knew that her fate could not be changed and quietly retreated! Li Shimin was trapped in regret and couldn't extricate himself, unaware that she had already left. If it weren't for this, Empress Changsun would have disappeared like a fleeting fragrance.
The reason is simple, Empress Longsun was involved in this matter, but Li Siyue didn't know about the empress's involvement! What she knew was something that everyone at the top level knew, but who dared to say that Empress Longsun was also involved? It was an unspoken understanding between them. Although Li Siyue had a good grasp of the situation, she didn't think deeply about it. Even if she did know, she wouldn't tell her father and stir up trouble in their harmonious family. Would Li Yuanbiao give those who knew the truth a chance to speak? If he killed someone and then met with Emperor Taizong, would Emperor Taizong be foolish enough to say that the empress was the biggest culprit? If he killed all the people involved, would the others who knew about it be stupid enough to go around spreading the news everywhere? Empress Longsun was Li Yuanbiao's sister-in-law, so not killing her was also reasonable...
Those who were involved in the plot thought that Li Yuanba had already discovered all of their identities, and in a clever move to avoid detection, Empress Changsun took her own life before Li Yuanba even arrived in Chang'an. It was announced to the world that the empress had died from illness...
"Huh? Empress Changsun died of illness? That's strange, wasn't she fine the last time I saw her?! Li Yuanba was in a car made in Datang and heard this news, feeling very depressed. He himself went to Chang'an to kill someone, but before he even got there, someone in his own household had already died, isn't that just adding fuel to the fire?!"
Some of the people below knew about this and were worried that if they let them rush into the palace to kill the empress, would they go or not? Would even the most overbearing person personally go to kill their own relatives? Hearing these words, did the king not know that the empress was involved in this matter? This... isn't the empress's death a great injustice? The empress died so suddenly, and based on what they knew, it was easy to guess the truth!
"Damn it! Bad luck! Huang Kuohai, you come over here!" Li Yuanba yelled at the car driving behind.
The car door that followed closely opened and flashed out of the vast sea, a few steps to keep up with Li Yuanba's car, and waited for orders while following lightly on the side!
"Uh, you send someone with this list to rush to Chang'an first, tell Li Shimin to send someone to monitor their movements and write down the details of these people's residences! Also, tell him to mourn for me, I won't be attending the Queen's funeral!" Li Yuanba thought that at this rate, they wouldn't make it to the funeral in time, so as brothers, he should at least show some respect...
At that time, the speed of the car was very fast, at least over 200 miles. But this speed for these masters, their legs can overtake several streets! However, Li Yuanba wasn't afraid of those bastards daring to run, he thought that if someone wanted to kill him, they would have to run to the moon, killing was just a matter of course, no need to make himself so tired.
Huang Kuohai respectfully took over the name list, scanned it quickly, and soon dispatched a fast-running mythological expert to Chang'an. They then proceeded towards Chang'an at a steady pace!
"The queen died unjustly..." Hong Guo said with a mixture of laughter and tears as he got into the car.
"Could it be? This list......" Yang Lin, who was sitting in the same car, asked speculatively.
Huang Guang's expression was very colorful as he nodded, and Yang Lin lay back in his seat, laughing and crying at the same time, sighing: "It's a wronged point..."
When Li Shimin received the list sent by Li Yuanba's men while in pain, he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot! For a moment, Li Shimin didn't want to live under the eyes of such an evil person anymore. Covering his chest in pain, he came to the phoenix coffin of Empress Changsun and muttered to himself: "Guanyin, you left too early! Too early! Evil, this evil! Haha... I want to abdicate, I want to abdicate! I don't want anything anymore. My Guanyin, let's go to a paradise on earth, just the two of us!" After Li Shimin finished speaking, he stood up, waved his hand, and threw away the list. He turned around and carried Empress Changsun's coffin away with him! Li Jiancheng, the highest commander of the military who had seen the list together with Li Shimin, shook his head helplessly and said nothing. He didn't stop Li Shimin from leaving either. Instead, he ordered the ministers to implement martial law in Chang'an and wait for Li Yuanba's arrival. All funeral activities were stopped without reason, and the proceedings of the Wan Guo Imperial Court were postponed!
The move shocked the world, and the Emperor fled without any explanation. The city of Chang'an was immediately placed under military control! Amidst the uproar, these foreign envoys felt they had been greatly insulted. Although they were subjects of the great Tang Dynasty, there was no reason for this absurd farce to be staged, treating them as if they were insignificant dust. This was too rude! They demanded that the Tang Dynasty give them a reason, or else they would unite and go to war with the Tang at all costs!
Li Jiancheng said he was under no pressure, this group of trash, if it weren't for the Tang Dynasty providing a fleet, your army would be able to leave your continent, I'd hand over the Tang Dynasty! Unite? Get out, stupid fools who don't know their place!
"Bring these foreigners back to their dwellings immediately! Anyone who dares to step out of the house will be killed without pardon!" Li Jiancheng gave the order on the spot!
Now everyone in the world has learned the Hua Xia language. Upon hearing this, they all used their native languages to greet Li Jiancheng. With an unwilling expression, they followed the soldiers back to their residences. However, some of them struggled a bit, causing a commotion!
The soldiers in front killed a few leaders decisively and calmed down the scene!
A month later, Li Yuanba arrived late, and at this time those foreign envoys who were under house arrest had almost lost their minds, and some small conflicts occurred from time to time.
When Li Yuanba arrived, he saw his busy and dizzy big brother Li Jiancheng, who was almost drowned by complaints! Li Jiancheng first asked Li Yuanba to see how to deal with the foreign envoys. Before Li Yuanba could speak, Li Jiancheng complained a lot, saying that as an old man approaching 100 years old, he had become the emperor of the country again, and all these affairs originally belonged to someone else, but now they all came to him for discussion. Only when he finished speaking did Li Jiancheng ask how to deal with the envoys' matter?
"Kill him." Li Yuanba replied casually.
