"Is, is this necessary? We are all remnants who are ready to be slaughtered in an instant, why does Your Majesty need to do this?" Patriarch Li couldn't understand.

Li Er nodded and said: "Yes, it is useless to the dead, but this book is useful to the living.

I didn't come here to kill. You guys are so ruthless that you really dare to die with the court. It's a pity that the Tang Dynasty is not the former Sui Dynasty, so you can't make it.

But regardless of success or failure, this battle will ultimately hurt both sides, and it will hurt Datang's vitality.

It is impossible for me to kill all of your clansmen, I can only kill the direct descendants of the chief evil, not to say that the remaining innocent are innocent, but to leave their foundation of literate and educated people to maintain the stability of the country.

For these people, I will kill you by force, and plead guilty to you to subdue the law are two different meanings. "

you are

Patriarch Li was stunned by Li Er's blunt words, and after a long time he came back to his senses and said in admiration: "I didn't expect you to have such a magnanimity, and in this alone, you have already surpassed the former Sui Yang Guang. "

"You are too old, if I have a lot of talents in the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that I will not have the tolerance to use a group of subordinates with bad backgrounds.

I'm just trying to get the country far, but you people keep making trouble. "Li Er said with emotion.

Li Wuyang's eyes were full of admiration, "It's rare, the Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty said the same thing back then, and you will leave a legacy like him.

It's a pity that we pursue different interests from each other, otherwise we wouldn't be where we are today. "

different interests?

Li Er asked angrily: "For the benefit of your family, you can betray the court without a bottom line? Fortunately, you are still a heir to poetry and books, claiming to be authentic Confucianism."

The old man shook his head lightly and sighed: "The jungle has always been like this. Poems and books are also for survival. The name of Confucianism is for status, and it is also for survival. In the face of survival interests, nothing is important."

"So ruthless, so shameless!" Li Junxian on the side couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded in a low voice. He was a good general with strict discipline and never talked much, but at this moment he really couldn't suppress the emotion in his heart. anger.

Li Wuyang smiled, glanced at Li Junxian and said: "Young man, when you reach my age, you will understand that honor, shame and shame are not the most important things in life, even the most useless and cumbersome things.

People say that a century-old dynasty is a thousand-year-old family. If you look up those big families that can last for hundreds of years, which one has not lowered its proud head and crawled under the iron hooves of the northern barbarians to survive until now? "

Li Junxian said disdainfully: "You want to flaunt your life on your knees, a man can only die standing up, and never live on his knees!"

"Hahahaha, well said, has backbone, is a good general.

But have you ever thought about where did you come from this sentence, and even this integrity?Was it something you were born with, or did your teacher teach you later?

What if you have been taught from an early age to disregard shame and use unscrupulous means?

Will you be who you are now? " Li Wuyang asked with a smile and said the soul blow.

Li Junxian stood there blankly, as if his mind was blank.

Li Wuyang woke up and said: "Young people, you have to distinguish everything by yourself, don't follow others' opinions. If we hadn't preserved vitality for the Han people like this, I am afraid that there will be no Han people in the world today, and they will all be barbarians."

At this time, Emperor Li Er stood up, and he pulled Li Junxian behind him.

"Don't bully Jun Xian, a general who came from a rough background in history, Wuhu Luanhua has not been many years ago, the Han people can not survive because of you people, Wu Mourning King Ran Min's killing of Huling is the most important contribution.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the subjugation can survive, don't forget that the Han people before the Jin Dynasty were able to take the initiative to attack the Xiongnu, and they were all born standing up.

It was the rebellion of the Eight Kings in the Western Jin Dynasty, the division of the Jin clan, the emptiness of the national power, and the decline of the people's livelihood. Only the Hu people in the north could take advantage of it.

If everyone is united, instead of only knowing internal fighting, why should we people in the Central Plains be afraid of any foreign race in the world? "

Li Wuyang clapped his hands and praised: "That's right, what you said is right.

But the facts have proved that it is difficult, or impossible, to unite everyone. From the Han Dynasty to the present, no one can do it in as many dynasties as possible. "

"It's true that no one has done it. It's all because of you group of so-called family interests. If you get rid of you, there will be peace." Li Er said angrily.

Hearing this sentence, Li Wuyang burst out laughing suddenly, the undisguised mockery in that laughter made several emperor's personal guards almost draw out their swords.

"Hahahaha, it's a fool's dream, this is the funniest joke this old man has ever heard in this life.

Do you think that only big families like ours have their own interests first?Who in the world is not?Including your royal family, maybe you are not, but can you guarantee that all your descendants will have the same great ambitions as you?

As long as you are a human being, you will have selfish desires, and if you have greed, you will pursue fame and fortune. If you can destroy us with five surnames and seven surnames, maybe in a hundred years there will be six surnames and eight wangs. You have eliminated us old nobles, you Those confidants under his command will not be a family in the future?

You don't want to talk about the chaos of the Eight Kings in the Western Jin Dynasty. When your Tang Dynasty comes to an end in the future, I am afraid that your descendants will have the same virtue.

Provoking internal strife and strife led to the emptiness of the Central Plains, and the surrounding barbarians took advantage of the emptiness to enter, causing disasters to the people of the Central Plains for tens or hundreds of years. When the dynasty changes in the future, future dynasties will also talk about your Tang Dynasty like you talk about the Western Jin Dynasty today.

In this regard, how is your Li family better than others? "

Hush, whoosh, the emperor's personal guard Qiqi drew out the Tang saber from his waist and pointed it at Li Wuyang with a murderous aura.

Except for the lingering sound of the knife being drawn, and the disdainful snort of the old man Li Wuyang, who saw through life and death, there was only silence, a silence where even the sound of breathing could not be found, and everyone stared at the emperor.

Li Er was stunned speechless by Li Wuyang's words, his face changed several times, and finally he raised his head and gritted his teeth and said: "I admit that what you said is reasonable.

Datang may, like other dynasties, eventually come to an end.

But I, Datang, will also do my best to achieve the eternal foundation that other dynasties cannot do.

Didn't you say that in the future, my Tang Dynasty will be like the previous dynasty, with internal fighting empty and foreign enemies invading?

Alright, I will sweep across the Quartet and wipe out all the barbarians and barbarians in the surrounding area, and all the rivers and rivers that the sun and the moon shine on are Han soil!

There is only one country left in this world, the Great Tang, and there is no distinction between Han people and Hu people, only the same Tang people.

At that time, even if the Tang Dynasty is divided by internal struggles, there will be no longer any worries about the invasion of foreign enemies.

Just like the Great Qin unified the six countries, although the Qin Dynasty did not last forever, the people of the Central Plains and Huaxia became an inseparable family after all. "

Li Er's loud declaration was his rebuttal to the old man of the Li family, and it was also the promise he made with himself and the world. The domineering aura in his body deeply infected the people around him.

Li Junxian bowed down together with a group of guards, and shouted loudly: "I wish to follow Your Majesty to the death, and protect my great Tang Dynasty forever!"

This time, it was the old man Li Wuyang's turn to stand on the spot blankly. Originally, he thought that before he died, he would point out Jiangshan and comment on the younger generation of the current emperor as an elder. Unexpectedly, he miscalculated in the end and let a younger generation teach him a lesson .

After a long time, Li Wuyang said in a sincere tone: "What a family! Yes, you are really good!

From the Sui Dynasty to the present Tang Dynasty, the old man has seen four generations of kings in his life, even in the history books, he can be called the best. Among these four people, you are the most outstanding.

Although this ambition is also impossible to achieve, I hope from the bottom of my heart that you can make it.

I will write you the confession letter of the Li family, I hope you can forgive those innocent children of the Li family. "

Li Er nodded and promised: "You can rest assured, not only your Li family's children, but also other families, I will only kill the culprit.

Keep the others, let them see the future of the Tang Dynasty, your right and wrong today, and let your own descendants judge, maybe you can be convinced. "

The Li family in Longxi was pacified, and several families suppressed by Dao soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River were suppressed. It took less than half a year to quell the chaos this time, which can be regarded as an unexpected success.
