Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

Zhu Tao's words made Xiao Ran raise his eyebrows. At this time, he was still quibbling, so he simply took out the New Tang Book.

"In 773, the eighth year of the Dali calendar, Zhu Si ordered you to lead troops to defend Tibet. Because after the An-Shi Rebellion, Youzhou troops were rarely used by the imperial court. After you arrived in Chang'an, Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty was overjoyed and rewarded you greatly."

"And after you returned to Youzhou, you wanted to conspire to seize Zhu Si's military power, deceive Zhu Si, and tell him that the princes in the world have not yet gone to see the emperor, and that going to the court to meet the emperor can gain the emperor's trust. Zhu Si believed it to be true. In the ninth year of the Dali calendar, Zhu Si went to the imperial court and asked you to take charge of the military affairs of Youzhou, so you took the opportunity to seize the military power. Zhu Si then realized that he had been betrayed by you, so he asked you to stay in Chang'an. Soon, Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty appointed you as the military governor and concurrent general of Youzhou. Doctor Censor."

"In 781, the second year of Jianzhong, after Li Baochen died of illness, his son Li Weiyue sought to succeed his father. You were ordered to conquer, defeated Li Weiyue, and then besieged Shenzhou. Later, you defeated Li Weiyue and was awarded the title of Inspector of School for your merits. , you have been promoted to the military governor of Youzhou Lulong Army, but you are dissatisfied."

"One year later, Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty ordered you to return to Youzhou. You were dissatisfied and wanted to claim the taxes from the Seven Prefectures for military payment. You were not allowed to do so, and you were even more resentful towards the court."

Li Shimin's face darkened, "As a general guarding the border, he is resentful because of the imperial court's arrangements, and he also tries to get the taxes from the seven states. How courageous!"

Zhu Tao, who was still lucky at first, looked ashen now. He didn't understand why Xiao Ran knew such details.

Concubine Xiao said in a deep voice: "Mother, this matter involves the palace, why don't we let them go down first."

"You are full of lies. You told the soldiers to fight bloody battles and capture the fortified city, but the court ostracized them and failed to reward them for their victory. Unfortunately, no one in the army responded. They thought that Zhu Si had received a reward and they would also receive it. This made Your plan failed, but you still secretly killed dozens of people who refused to rebel. "

Xiao Ran guessed Li Shimin's thoughts and suddenly said, "As a princess enjoying the glory and wealth, she should also do something for the court. Why not let Princess Gao and Concubine Xiao go to the fiefdom to work for the people."

She did not think that Tang Dezong and the prince could deal with those vassal kings and Jiedu envoys.

"Come here, hang the traitor Zhu Tao in public, hang his body on the city wall for ten days, and post a notice to let everyone in the world know the fate of the rebellion!"

Li Shi criticized Zhu Tao out loud and offered a reward to appease Zhu Tao. Unexpectedly, Zhu Tao was not satisfied at all.

"Really?" Li Shimin asked casually, but it made people feel nervous.

"Your Majesty Emperor Taizong, what did she do wrong?" Princess Gao Guo couldn't calm down anymore, she couldn't help but ask.

Princess Gao's back was covered with cold sweat, and she hesitated to speak again, "Did I do something wrong?"

They left, and Prince Li Song returned to Li Shimin and Xiao Ran.

"Who are you?"

"How could I have descendants with such weak temperament as you?"

Li Shimin's eyes were filled with disgust, "You are the prince, and the person who will inherit the throne in the future will be the future lord of the world. You can't even handle a mere princess."

Without fiefdom and military power, and as a hostage, even if you want to plot something behind the scenes, it will be extremely difficult.

"She is too old to travel far, so she stays in Chang'an City to retire."

Xiao Ran was a little regretful. Princess Gao didn't cause any trouble, so there was no excitement to watch.

Princess Gao did not hesitate, "He treated me very well. Because I lost my husband twice, he allowed me not to remarry and also allowed me to live in a separate garden."

Li Shimin admired this person's awareness of current affairs, and then turned his attention to others.

Unfortunately, Xiao Sheng fell ill and died, and Princess Gao became a widow again.

The group of people then got on the carriage back to the palace.

Li Song looked at Xiao Ran.

After the male favorite left, Princess Gao was about to tell Concubine Xiao how to speak for a while when she heard some noise outside.

"Okay, you go ahead. If she disrespects you, I will find a place for you." Li Shimin nodded in agreement, and consciously regarded himself as Xiao Ran's elder protector.

"Zhu Si is dead. Zhu Tao was hanged in the street at noon today. His body was exposed to the sun for ten days." Concubine Xiao said with complicated eyes.

"You...what kind of monster are you!"

Xiao Ran was helpless, "Even if I don't go, I'm afraid she will come. The Crown Princess has gone to see her."

Before the Maweipo Incident, Princess Gao married Pei Hui, the son of Concubine Yang's sister. However, during the rebellion, Pei Hui was killed by Princess Gao's mother-in-law, who then committed suicide.

Xiao Ran's eyes brightened slightly and he couldn't help but praise the vassal king.

Li Shimin unexpectedly spoke to Xiao Ran, but still did not agree.

Li Shimin, who also had a princess, still felt compassion.

Princess Hao suddenly sat up, her eyes flashing sharply, "Is what you said true?"

"If mother doesn't believe it, you can go to Chang'an City to watch the execution."

"After the palace banquet the day before yesterday, His Majesty issued two edicts. You should have heard about them."

Princess Hao narrowed her eyes, feeling displeased.

Princess Hao, who was eating grapes, glanced at her casually, then returned to the male favorite next to her.

She secretly thought it was wrong and lay down directly, pretending to be weak.

The situation was much better than Li Shimin thought, so he did not continue to be in trouble.

Xiao Ran laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone bully me."

"Something serious has happened." Princess Gao's expression changed slightly and she immediately ordered her male favorite.

After all, the person in front of him was his mother-in-law. Prince Li Song hurriedly introduced, "This is Mr. Xiao who came with His Majesty Emperor Taizong."

"You are too deceiving yourself. When you went to rescue Tian Yue, you forged an imperial edict. Many people in the army disagreed. If you hadn't killed more than two hundred people in a row, how would the Youzhou Army have been used by you?" Xiao Ran exposed it ruthlessly. He was a little speechless.

Prince Li Song deliberately pretended not to see Concubine Xiao and declared in a deep voice.

Without stopping to review the memorial, Li Shimin said with no emotion in his tone, "I heard that you often enter the East Palace. What are you planning to do?"

It was precisely for this reason that she married her daughter to Prince Li Song.

"No, just say it." Princess Gao did not avoid the male favorite around her.

"Your Majesty Emperor Taizong, my mother and I have a deep relationship, and she feels sorry for me that I can't leave the palace often, so I come in and out of the East Palace."

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Princess of Gao Kingdom, there is no need to pretend at this time. Come into the palace quickly. Your ancestors of the Li family are not that good-tempered."

Zhu Tao lost military morale and relied on killing people to intimidate him, yet he was still so confident.

What the emperor feared most was the military power in the hands of the vassal king. If the fiefdoms were also handed over, it would mean that all the titles were in vain. He also offered to stay in Chang'an, which completely eliminated the emperor's fear.

Halfway through her words, Princess Gao was stunned. She remembered that Prince Li Song came over today and said something about Emperor Taizong summoning him.

Now that there are rebellions everywhere, Princess Gao also has some thoughts in her mind. Although Tang Dezong indulges her, she may not be able to sit back and relax.

Li Song's face turned red, "But..., but she..."

Zhu Tao, who already knew there was no way out, sneered, "The whole world is rebelling, why can't I? If you kill me today, my Youzhou army will immediately come to attack Chang'an City, and I can keep you company after death. I won't." deficit!"
