Great Tang Southern Emperor

"Your Majesty is serious. The queen's nature is so natural. This is human nature. How can it be a joke?"

"The empress's true feelings are revealed, which shows the innocence of her heart, and her mother respects the world. This is the great fortune of the Tang Dynasty..."

"..."

As soon as Li Shimin came out to apologize, countless people immediately stood up and offered to give him a step up, including Wei Zheng, who graciously gave him forgiveness.

After such a fuss, the presenting ceremony continued, but with Li Zhen's emerald dragon ornament and pearls in front, and the news of the birth of a precious son, the following presenting ceremony became dull, even though it was worth as much as the emeralds. The treasures of the dragon ornaments, but in terms of significance, which one is more valuable than the set of emerald dragon ornaments?

It wasn't until late at night that the banquet was over. The officials of the Tang Dynasty had different expressions, but the envoys from foreign countries all had unfinished business.

On the second day, the court meeting went on as usual, and today's court meeting only confirmed one thing - Taichang Shaoqing Li Belu, since Sanqian became the Taichang Temple Shaoqing, has embezzled and accepted bribes, withheld tributes to heaven, and sold Taichang Temple privately Property, the heinous crime, the heinous crime, the black sand on the head was taken off, the official uniform was stripped off, and exiled to Nanyang, there must be no mistake.

Regarding Li Belu's fate, no one would say anything, not even the family behind him - after all, Li Belu was looking for death, and he actually went directly to the emperor's birthday banquet in front of many foreign envoys Find fault, let outsiders see the joke, who will die if you don't die?His Majesty is benevolent if he didn't kill you on the spot.

At the same time, in the two most prosperous places in the eastern and western cities of Chang'an, a very ornately decorated storefront opened respectively. These two storefronts have a common name - Emerald Pavilion.

The imperial palace is known as the ancient information sieve, no matter what happens in the palace, it can spread throughout the entire Chang'an city within half a day.

What's more, this time Li Zhen was behind the scenes, so in just two hours, Chang'an City knew that at the emperor's birthday banquet, His Royal Highness King Yue presented a set of top-quality emerald ornaments, which His Majesty liked very much.

It also coincided with the news of the birth of the children of His Royal Highness the King of Yue. His Majesty the Emperor was overjoyed and directly conferred the titles of the children of the King of Yue as princes and princesses, with a thousand households in the city, and many rewards, all in accordance with the treatment of the princesses and princes. .

In the Tang Dynasty, this was the first time that a prince had surpassed his father and was directly awarded a rank by his grandfather (in the Tang Dynasty, both princesses and princes were first rank), and this was the first time such a thing had happened.Even the previous Li Chengqian, before Li Shimin ascended the throne, was only a king of Zhongshan (the seventh year of Wude), and he was not canonized as the prince until Li Shimin ascended the throne as emperor.

From this we can see how much Li Shimin likes these two dolls named Akira and Zhao.

However, the focus of the folks is not here. No matter how good someone is canonized, that is also their blessing. This is a fateful thing, and it has nothing to do with me.

What really interested the common people was what kind of treasure the emerald that His Majesty the Emperor praised so much was.

Of course, Li Zhen would not let go of such a good advertisement. In other words, the reason why he chose jadeite as a congratulatory gift to Li Shimin was mainly to promote jadeite.

Piao country, as the origin of jadeite, is now in the hands of the Tang Dynasty. On the first day after the king of Pyu country presented the surrender table, Li Zhen bought a large piece of land in the north of Piao country, and then dispatched [-] slaves. Go there to mine rough jadeite for yourself. The jadeite that was mined in the palace before was obtained from here. As long as the jadeite can be spread and accepted by the common people in the world, wouldn't that mean making money every day?

Chapter 638

Chapter 1 Lingnan Chaos

Time flies by, the last chapter was about the end of January, what happened in Chang'an City, this chapter came to April of the 17th year of Zhenguan.

Today's world situation has changed again.

In Lingnan, after nearly half a year of fire annexation, the ownership of Yindao has finally been settled. After the initial stage of fighting each other, the major aristocratic families found that they could not do Buddhism and Confucianism by themselves.Especially in the later period, the power of Buddhism and Confucianism was completely stimulated, and several big families were almost pressed against the ground and rubbed against each other.

Realizing that if they did not make changes, the several great families who would be killed, began to consider the next path and made a decision soon.First of all, the elders of the major families met each other a few times, and after a brief discussion, the families united again.

And this time the family alliance is even more terrifying, because this time the family alliance includes not only the five families of Cui (two) Wang Zhengli, but also the hidden wealthy families such as the Dou family and the Pei family, plus several wealthy families in the south. They were also mixed in. After reunion, the power of the family alliance is stronger than before.

Many aristocratic families unite, and this is how they have the strength to fight recklessly with Buddhism and Confucianism, and finally put down all the tens of thousands of elites of Buddhism, and the elites of Confucianism's Chunqiu Pavilion were also lost in the final battle. The imperial court suppressed it intentionally or unintentionally, and Buddhism and Confucianism are bound to usher in at least ten years of emptiness.

If the imperial court beat the dog in the water in the past ten years, or supported other sects to squeeze the living space of the two major forces, such as Taoism and Legalism... Maybe these two schools will not improve within a hundred years.

In short, after the final battle, Buddhism and Confucianism have withdrawn from the battle for Silver Island, but the matter is not over.

Because as I said before, the aristocratic family is a very selfish group. For their own self-interest, they can even sell the country, let alone the so-called alliance that is just a dead letter now?

The Aristocratic Family Alliance is just a newspaper group to warm up at a critical juncture. Not to mention whether they are willing to share the profits of Yindao with others, it is said that the aristocratic families are not harmonious, not only not harmonious, but even somewhat There is still a feud between the family.

Now that the external enemy has been defeated, it is natural to resolve internal conflicts.

Therefore, after the son of the Dou family drunk and killed a descendant of the Boling Cui family, the Boling Cui family and the Dou family opened fire first, igniting the conflict within the family, and then the major families began to fight against each other, waiting to kill the opponent After that, find another opponent to fight...

In just half a month, the aristocratic family alliance, which was so huge that even the Tang court was afraid, completely fell apart.

But the final result surprised everyone.

Because in the end, it was not the seven clans and five surnames who had high hopes for Yin Yin, nor the reclusive Dou family or Pei family, nor those Jiangnan wealthy families who had ruled the south since the Five Husbands, but a person who had no one. The power I thought about - Hongnong Yang's.

Everyone knows Hongnong Yang's family, because the former Sui royal family came from this family. Since the Western Han Dynasty, this family has been active in China's political arena, and it has lasted for a long time. The Yang family of Hongnong is also known as "Four Generations and Three Dukes", this is the best portrayal, if the Yang family is willing to stand up, they will definitely be able to fight Yuan's.

For thousands of years, this family has never declined, and romantic figures emerge in endlessly.

Even if the former Sui Dynasty was destroyed, this family did not decline, it just hid, and even tried to hide and control the Tang Dynasty by supporting Wu Wang Li Ke.

It's a pity that this plan was thwarted by Changsun Wuji. Li Ke died unjustly, and Li Yin was exiled. Yang family hid again and didn't care about world affairs. However, he also escaped several catastrophes because of this. Completely destroy their inheritance.Until the Song Dynasty, there were members of the Hongnong Yang clan who were active in the political arena of the Song Dynasty. For example, Yang Wanli, a great poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, said that "the lotus leaves are infinitely blue in the sky, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun" is He wrote it.

It's just that although the Yang family is powerful, they are the most reassuring family for everyone, because it is the Tang Dynasty now, the head of the family is surnamed Li, and their country happened to be snatched back from the Yang family.

As a former enemy, facing the increasingly powerful Datang, Yang's first priority is to protect himself, instead of jumping out to fight against Datang. In fact, they did exactly that, it was their dormancy, So the Li royal family didn't kill them all. As long as they don't act like monsters in the future, they basically won't cause trouble for them.

So even though the previous battle for Silver Island was fierce, the Yang family was not taken seriously by the major forces. If the Yang family jumped out at this time, they didn't think the imperial court would let this former opponent go.

However, it was this aristocratic family that no one thought was a threat, but at the end of the battle for Yindao, it intervened. How could the major aristocratic families who had been severely injured in the previous fight be the opponent of the Hongnong Yang family who was waiting for work?

Under the attack of the pawns raised by the Yang family, the remnants of the aristocratic family were not their all-in-one enemy at all. They were directly shot to death by the Yang family, losing the ownership of Yindao, and Yinyin fell into the hands of the Yang family. .

But Yang's good luck didn't last long. Just when they bought mining tools, recruited manpower, and prepared to go to sea to mine silver mines, a group of men in black attacked their camp, and five thousand Yang's soldiers were killed or injured. For the most part, Lao Yang Ren of the Yang clan who was specifically in charge of this matter was hacked to death with random knives, and Yin Yin was nowhere to be found.

The Yang family wanted to cry, but they jumped out this time, naturally to support their descendants, and then to rise again through many schemes, at least to fight against the Tang Dynasty.And Silver Island is their confidence, as long as they have Silver Island in their hands, as long as they are mined out of Silver Island, what do they want?

For this reason, they resisted the temptation in their hearts until the major families were exhausted, and then they rushed out with lightning speed, quickly cut through the mess, and neatly settled the major families.

However, as the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind them. They never thought that when they were scheming against the family, they would dare to become prey in the eyes of others.

Not only did the soldiers suffer heavy casualties, but more importantly, they jumped out at this time and successfully attracted Datang's attention - don't think about it next, they must face the ruthless strangulation of Datang's elite.

Yang's death is certain, but before they die, they must find out who is behind them?

Chapter 639 The World Situation

Chapter 2 The Situation in the World

Three days later, when King Li Zhen of Yue was out to inspect the government affairs of various counties, he encountered an extremely dangerous assassination in the outskirts of Panyu County. It is said that the opponent even used the rhubarb crossbow. Even if it is not dead, at least one person must be disabled.

Encountered this assassination, Li Zhen was furious, activated all the forces under his command, and ordered them to investigate the murderer.

This time Li Zhen's rage finally let the world see the horror of King Yue.

In just half a day, the assassins were all captured alive by the Blood Dragon Guard, and all the killing tools suffered the most terrible torture in the world.

One day later, Yang's lair in Lingnan was taken away by Skynet, and all the old and weak in the stronghold were beheaded.

A day and a half later, when Yang Xuancheng, the representative of the Yang family in the court and the highest-ranking person, was riding out for an outing on a horse, his horse suddenly lost control and ran wildly, and Yang Xuancheng was dragged to death.Although they don't know who did it, everyone knows that it must have something to do with King Yue.

Two days later, the Yang family of Hongnong, except those who were away from home, regardless of men, women, or children, was wiped out. Everyone was beheaded and hung in front of the main gate. Whether it was the owner's eagle dog or the earthworms in the ground, all of them were poisoned. Kill - this is a typical chicken and dog.The murderer shot cleanly, even the cut marks on the severed head were neat, it didn't look like it was cut with a knife at all.No one knew who the killer was, only a sticky stick was found at the scene, but no one knew what it meant.

Three days later, except for some of the married women of the Hongnong Yang family, all the men, whether they were sent out to be officials or went out to do business, were all beheaded and killed.
