Su Dingfang walked in, "His Royal Highness, Fan Yang prefect Liu Mingliang brought them here."

Liu Mingliang plopped and knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty, Governor of Fan Yang, Liu Mingliang, pays homage to His Royal Highness, and please punish him."

Li Chengqian picked up a bowl of tea and took a sip, "Oh? What's your fault?"

Liu Mingliang responded: "Your official... your official did not detect Lu's intention of treason in time."

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Hehe, get up and talk, this matter has nothing to do with you, not only did you have no fault, but you have merit."

Li Chengqian knew about Liu Mingliang.

Under the eyes of the Lu family, they worked conscientiously and fearfully in front of the prefect, not only daring to offend the Lu family, but also protecting the peace of the people in Fanyang City.

It is not an exaggeration to describe him as dancing on the tip of a knife.

In this filthy place, Liu Mingliang can not only protect himself wisely, but also control his heart, so as not to be infected by the aristocratic family.

He must have his own uniqueness.

Liu Mingliang stood up, "I dare not!"

Li Chengqian said: "Lu's rebellion has been punished by the palace. You must stabilize the people's hearts in the shortest possible time and draft a copy. The crimes committed by Lu in Fanyang these years will be brought to the palace tomorrow." Walk."

"I know your achievements over the years, and I will definitely ask for credit for you in front of His Majesty."

Hearing this, the stone in Liu Mingliang's heart finally fell.

Just now, when he saw the white-robed army massacre the members of the Lu clan, he was really frightened.

I thought I might be implicated, but seeing the prince's attitude, I was relieved.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, however, is as rumored, discerning every detail, clear rewards and punishments, and extremely principled.

Liu Mingliang said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I would like to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian said: "Okay, you can step back for now."

……

The next morning.

Li Chengqian led the white-robed army back in triumph.

The corpses piled up like a mountain in the Lu family dissipated between the sky and the earth in a burst of flames.

During this trip, Li Chengqian not only destroyed the Lu family.

He also acquired countless wealth.

He finally knows what it means to be rich like an enemy, the gold and silver treasures, the feeling of being endless, it is really cool.

Except for those turned over to the state treasury, Li Chengqian kept some of them privately.

After all, the military expenses of the White Robe Army were all financed by himself.

Although Li Chengqian was calm, the city of Chang'an thousands of miles away had gradually changed.

In the air, there is a strong smell of gunpowder.

The fact that the Lu family was punished by Li Chengqian to kill the nine clans spread like a prairie fire to the entire Tang Dynasty.

East Palace...

Imperial study...

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, Qin Qiong, and others surrounded Li Shimin.

Li Shimin threw a letter in front of them, "This is the secret letter sent back by the prince overnight, please take a look."

Changsun Wuji caught up and took the letter.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng hurriedly surrounded them.

"Father, the emperor..."

"The Lu family of Fanyang supported the soldiers with self-respect, concealed evil intentions, implying rebellion, being incapable of restraint, disrespecting the imperial power of the temple, and not caring for the people of the Li people... the evidence is convincing."

"My son took the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty as his own responsibility. He was not afraid of hardships and life and death. He killed the nine clans of the Lu family before the city of Fanyang..."

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Chengqian's secret letter, his hands trembling, he was very excited, and he burst into tears.

My nephew is really very promising, exterminating the nine clans of the Lu family, this is something that the founders of the country and the emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty dare not even think about.

The aristocratic family affects the whole body with one hair, monopolizes the economy, and dominates the officialdom. The roots are deeper and deeper in the land of the Tang Dynasty, and the scope covered by the branches and leaves is wider and wider.

Power becomes stronger day by day; arrogance becomes more arrogant day by day.

Immediately after...

Li Shimin pushed a stack of lists in front of them, "This is the list of Lu's crimes drafted by the prefect of Fan Yang, the collected evidence of Lu's crimes, and a copy of the Wanmin Book of Fan Yang's people."

Wei Zheng stepped forward and opened the title page.

"Name: Lu Qingtian. Position: No official position, head of the Lu family. Charge: treason..."

"Name: Lu Zheng. Position: Minister of the Household Department. Crime: Corruption of ink pension..."

"Name: Lu Qian. Position: No official position, elder of the Lu family. Crime: Robbing civilian women, cooking babies..."

In recent years, Li Chengqian has brought to light one bloody case after another in the Lu family.

Several people saw it, and they were extremely sad and indignant. What the five surnames and Qiwang did in secret was even more unbearable than they imagined.

They only had one thought in their minds, His Royal Highness, good job.

The eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. The other three surnames are sad for the death of rabbits and foxes. They will definitely die and admonish the crown prince tomorrow. We need to make early preparations."

After enjoying the joy of Li Chengqian's victory, they began to discuss countermeasures.

The crown prince was in front of the battle, exhausted for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, and these old guys were behind, if they couldn't do something, it would appear that they were incompetent.

Du Ruhui continued: "Fan Yang's Lu family actually has five thousand private soldiers, so the other three surnames must have also cultivated an army secretly. We should not go to war now, and the other three surnames are mainly for appeasement."

Chapter 43

Cheng Yaojin retorted: "Peace, I don't think there is a need for this. Five surnames and seven wangs, is there not enough His Majesty to comfort you? Didn't it end up like this..."

"Yes, this time I agree with Old Cheng. If they dare to participate in the crown prince, I, Yu Chigong, will be the first to fight with them." Yu Chigong echoed behind Cheng Yaojin.

Fang Xuanling joined the battle, "Things are not as simple as you think. If so, the five surnames and seven Wangs can be as arrogant as they are now."

The civil and military factions suddenly quarreled, you have a word, I have a word.

boom!

Li Shimin slapped his palm on the copybook, "Have you had enough quarrels? I asked you to share your worries, not to let you stay here for trivial matters."

He was really helpless in his heart, every time these people were asked to discuss countermeasures, they would definitely quarrel.

Seeing Li Shimin get angry, several people lowered their heads, like a child who has made a mistake, and stopped talking.

Li Shimin pointed at his eldest grandson Wuji, "Mr. Zhao, tell me first. You know the most."

As soon as the words fell, the others looked at him with strange eyes, as if they were saying, you have something to hide from us.

The eldest grandson Wuji was very embarrassed.

Changsun Wuji cupped his hands and said, "Ah... I thought..."

Several people discussed until late at night before giving up.

The next day...

morning...

As soon as Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, someone jumped out.

"My minister has a book to play..."

Soon...

The court hall was full of ministers.

Officials are big and small, and there are many departments. Their backgrounds are all the same, with five surnames and seven Wangs.

The purpose is also the same, to impeach the current prince Li Chengqian.

today……

Li Shimin looked at the officials with five surnames and seven wangs on the ground, surprisingly lifeless.

Looking at the ministers, he said with a pleasant face, "Everyone who loves you is flat, if you have something to say, I will listen slowly."

As soon as this word comes out.

The ministers were in an uproar, what happened to His Majesty today, knowing that the aristocratic family would jointly impeach the crown prince, His Majesty was not angry at all.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others stood aside, looking at the ministers with five surnames and seven surnames with the mentality of watching the excitement.

Li Shimin pointed at Wang Mingyuan, and said indifferently: "Wang Shilang, you speak first."

Wang Mingyuan looked at Li Shimin, "My lord, to impeach the current crown prince Li Chengqian, disregarding the laws of the country, killing innocent people indiscriminately, mutilating the officials of the court, causing Fan Yang Lu's blood to flow like a river, and his family was exterminated."

"If the prince behaves like this, he is in vain as the crown prince. I implore your majesty to abolish the prince immediately and establish another prince."

Above the court, Wang Mingyuan, every word, every sentence kills people.

The five surnames and Qiwang know better than anyone else whether the Lu family is worthy of death or not.

They dared to push Wang Mingyuan to the court and confront Li Shimin, so they were ready, they didn't want to follow in Lu's footsteps.

Although, most people in the court already knew what Wang Mingyuan had said.

But his tough attitude still made the ministers who watched the excitement frightened.

However, Li Shimin's attitude also made them unbelievable, and they couldn't see the slightest anger.

This morning, there was a strange atmosphere from beginning to end.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Okay, I already know what Wang Shilang said."

"The remaining lovers, what do you want to play?"

Li Shimin talked and laughed, as if he was discussing a small matter, not the abolition of the prince, the matter of the country and the country that related to the fate of the Tang Dynasty.

"Minister, impeach the current crown prince Li Chengqian..."

……

The five surnames, Qiwang, and the ministers related to him knelt down on the ground again, and the things they played were exactly the same.

Li Shimin stood up, without getting angry and arrogant, "Okay!"

"Chen Lin, declare the decree!"

All the ministers in the court were shocked when they heard the words.

Even the officials with five surnames and seven Wangs showed doubts on their faces.

Li Shimin wants to announce the decree to abolish the prince?this……

"Following the heavens, the emperor ordered that Fan Yang Lu's family bully the temple, oppress the people, support the army and rebel, and his heart can be punished..."

"The battle in Liangzhou, regarding the pension issue, a group of officials deceived their superiors and concealed it, corrupted the law, and their crimes should be executed..."

"The prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian, worries about the Ming Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, and the suffering of the people in the lower body. He is not afraid of power, life and death, and worries for the country..."

"Now, the evidence is convincing. Special: Fan Yang, Lu family, killed the nine clans, and the relevant personnel were escorted to prison and asked to be executed after autumn."

"The case of embezzlement of ink pensions, no matter how big or small the official position, no matter how deep the background is, will be dealt with strictly, and the crime will be aggravated, and will not be tolerated. This!"

As soon as the imperial decree came out, it shocked the ruling and opposition parties.

Everyone who heard it was amazed.

Datang is about to change.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Lu is innocent!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

In an instant...

Crying and shouting filled the court.
