The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 708 Li Yuanji is cruel and merciless

On the second floor of the main residence of Prince Qi Mansion, sandalwood incense is wafting from the copper beast incense burner. The setting sun is cut to pieces by the bamboo leaves outside the building. Pieces of yellow bamboo leaves are falling with the wind. Through the open windows, the last poignant beauty is wafting out...

Concubine Qi stood quietly in front of the window. Her maiden name was Yang Xuan, the daughter of Yang Zhiming, the late Duke of Gaoyang in the Sui Dynasty. She met Li Shimin at a poetry meeting when she was a girl, and was impressed by his boldness and literary talent. Deeply moved, the two have had countless exchanges, and the two hit it off.However, in order to build a huge network of interests, Li Yuan asked Li Shimin, who is proficient in archery, to approach Changsun Sheng, who has the reputation of "killing two birds with one stone" in the name of learning archery. Changsun Sheng also liked Li Shimin and intended to betroth his daughter to him. Changsun Sheng is well-known, and he managed the Changsun family to a great success. Among the Guanlong aristocrats, Li Yuan had no reason not to refuse, so Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou formed a three-year alliance.

In order to expand the profit network again, Li Yuanji, the fourth son of Li Yuan, who was highly regarded by Yang Guang, proposed marriage to the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty. Xuan Xu was betrothed to Li Yuanji.If Yang Xuan married another family, Li Shimin might be forgotten over time, but Li Shimin, who is handsome and handsome, is his brother-in-law, while his husband is an ugly ghost with a rough temper. After meeting with each other, it is inevitable to have self-pity and self-pity at the beginning.

But the affair between her and Li Shimin was not a secret among her peers, and Li Yuanji naturally knew about it.

Generally speaking, people with physical defects or particularly ugly appearance usually have a natural inferiority complex in their bones, and they are also very sensitive, and Li Yuanji is the same.In the beginning, he was indeed proud of marrying a beautiful wife of noble birth, but he always felt that his wife was indifferent to him, neither salty nor cold.

However, people are like this, the more they can't get it, the more they want it. No matter how arrogant and presumptuous Li Yuanji is outside, what he cares about is Yang Xuan, the 'unavailable' woman.

When he found that his wife was always evasive and her eyes flickering every time she saw the "old lover", he gradually became suspicious, thinking that the two of them had relapsed, and they were doing shameful things behind their backs.Li Shimin and Yang Xuan lived under the same roof, how could they not meet each other?How can we not say hello when we meet?But all of this, in the eyes of Li Yuanji, who was secretly watching, undoubtedly became evidence of adultery.The resulting severe questioning of his wife undoubtedly made the relationship between the two of them worse. This also made Li Yuanji hate Li Shimin deeply.The reason why he likes young women from good families is nothing more than this reason.

At this moment, Princess Qi obviously hasn't recovered from the shocking news, her picturesque face is pale, her delicate and slender body trembles slightly, and her thin and elegant figure looks like a fluttering bamboo leaf from a distance. help.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A rush of footsteps sounded behind him, but it was Li Yuanji who came after him. He tried his best to calm himself down and called softly, "Xuan'er..."

Princess Qi turned a deaf ear to it, and stood up pretty, her expression didn't seem to fluctuate in the slightest.

Li Yuanji took a few steps forward, stood behind the woman he loved and hated, stared at the light hair on the back of her neck, and said softly: "Xuan'er, the father seized the military power of the eldest brother today. After I arrive in Yizhou , Only by being self-defiled can I be safe. I know what kind of material I am, and I have absolutely no other thoughts."

He didn't know how much his wife had heard, so he could only probe so cautiously.

Princess Qi turned around slowly, staring at Li Yuanji with a pair of beautiful eyes, her pale face remained calm, and said softly: "Your heart is in your stomach, who can know your thoughts?"

Li Yuanji said with a strong smile: "Xuan'er, you are really making things difficult for me. Do you want me to show you all my heart and soul?"

Sighing softly, Princess Qi looked at her husband who had been sleeping with her for many years, and said lightly: "Your Highness, for your own sake and for the sake of the children, let's give up."

She didn't know what she was thinking about this?That unbelievable ambition made her feel that this man was even more terrifying. He actually wanted to recruit two ministers and a county king. What kind of ambition was this?Is it because Li Tang is not messed up enough, or is he hoping that the Li family will die soon?

Li Yuanji froze in place, knowing that the concubine had listened to the conversation between him and Han Zhi, he said in a deep voice, "I want to go further for the sake of our family."

"There are only Yizhou and Jingbei counties left in the Tang Dynasty, and even the Hanzhong area in Yizhou is under the control of the Sui Dynasty. Even a woman like me knows that the Tang Dynasty can no longer be chaotic, and it will surely perish. Your Highness more What's the point of going further? Why bother?" Concubine Qi persuaded, "Both the crown prince and the king of Jin can put aside their past suspicions and devote themselves to the outside world, you..."

"Enough." Li Yuanji scolded angrily, and said irritably, "After all, you are still worried about Li Shimin."

Princess Qi smiled bitterly, and shook her head: "I didn't have much contact with you in the past, but I gave myself to you innocently, which is enough to prove that I am not a self-willed and depraved woman. When I marry you, I will be Princess Qi. It has nothing to do with any man. I know what you are worried about. You have been staying at home and living a life of self-arrest. Why do you hurt me with such words. "

"Although you are here, you are always thinking about Li Shimin, do you pretend that I don't know?" Li Yuanji's expression twisted.

Princess Qi shook her head and said, "I haven't, but I can't prove it."

"But I can prove that I am better than Li Shimin, who has been defeated in all battles. You should watch carefully." Li Yuanji was very dissatisfied with Princess Qi's attitude, snorted coldly, and walked away.

When Han Zhi saw Li Yuanji coming, he quickly got up and asked, "How is it?"

"It's okay." Li Yuanji said three words lightly.

Han Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Then His Highness, go and ask General Dou for the army as soon as possible."

"En." Li Yuanji nodded and said, "Before entering Shu, there is still something I need to do."

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Two days later, there were many swords and swords in Dugu Mansion, and thousands of Wu Chuansi stood murderously on both sides of the front yard. Li Yuanji, who was dressed in military uniform, asked someone to bring a chair, and Da Ma Jindao sat on the platform in front of the front yard. .

Many Guanlong aristocratic patriarchs and core members were escorted to the front yard, each of them looked uneasy, and some trembling and pale looking at the murderous Wu Chuansi, as if they were about to fall down at any time.
Many soldiers were silent, but the chill and oppressive atmosphere permeated the courtyard.

"Bring me up." At this moment, Li Yuanji's faint voice sounded.

"promise!"

Soon, hundreds of Dugu clan members with disheveled hair and bruises were dragged over by Wu Chuanwei and thrown directly on the ground.

Han Zhi saw that there was no shortage of men, women and children in the Dugu clan, so he knew that Li Yuanji was planning to kill. The other members of the Guanlong nobles were so nervous that their Adam's apple slipped.

Li Yuanji looked at Dugu Cheng, who had been tortured to the point where he was escorted up the steps, and asked in a cold tone: "Dugu Cheng, who else is your accomplice, and who else is involved in the rebellion, tell me."

This morning, Li Shimin Shangshu pleaded for his father-in-law Dugu Huai'en, but his father actually had a heart of forgiveness. How could Li Yuanji agree?He felt that Li Shimin was the chief culprit of his family's unrest, and he wanted to make his family uneasy, so why would his father forgive him?
Dugu Cheng knew that there was no escape, so he just glanced at Li Yuanji and kept silent.

"Haha, if you don't say it, then don't say it. Someone will always say it." Li Yuanji raised his head slightly, and said coldly: "Kill."

"Here."

A team of Wu Chuanwei with a murderous look came out and chopped off Dugu Cheng's head with a single blow.

When the head rolled down the steps, the people below turned pale with fright.

"Keep killing, Dugu will not leave a single one behind."

Following Li Yuanji's order, the blades flew up in pieces, and amidst the howling, the members of the Dugu Clan who stayed in Xiangyang turned into corpses all over the place, blood flowing like rivers, and the smell filled the sky...

Many members of the Guanlong nobles, who have never seen such a tragic scene, trembled with fright, and looked at the corpses all over the ground in horror.

"Everyone don't need to be too nervous." Li Yuanji said indifferently as if he had done a trivial thing: "Let me ask again, I, Li Yuanji, am not a bloodthirsty person. Someone confessed. The emperor can let the past go."

Everyone sneered, the Dugu family was wiped out in the blink of an eye, how can there be any let bygones be bygones?

Dugu's is just the first family, and it will be everyone's turn in the next step, so it doesn't make sense to talk or not.

After waiting for a while, Li Yuanji shook his head in disappointment: "Then invite Mrs. Yu, she is a daughter of the Dugu clan, and she must have participated in the conspiracy."

"No!" I saw a middle-aged woman being dragged from a distance, leaving a long bloodstain on the road.

"Husband, I will take a step ahead." The woman kept shouting, she was Duguzheng's daughter and Yu Yun's wife.

"Under the Nine Springs, you and I will meet again." Yu Yun closed his eyes in pain.

"I broke her in front of Yu Yun." Li Yuanji said excitedly.

"Ah." Mrs. Yu let out a scream, but it was Wu Chuanwei who cut off her left arm with a knife.

And this was just the beginning of the torture. Amid Madam Yu’s constant screams, that Wu Chuanwei started from his right arm, then his breasts, eyes, and legs... This torture lasted for nearly a moment, and Madam Yu died miserably. .

"Bastard!" Many people were provoked by Li Yuanji's cruel behavior and cursed one after another.

"Li Yuanji, you will die badly."

"Li Yuanji, I won't let you go even if you turn into a ghost."

"..."

"Since you rebelled, you must be prepared to fail the rebellion, and this is the fate of the losers. You can only blame your incompetence. If I can kill you, I can also kill your soul. Kill me." See the group Li Yuanji said indifferently about the scene of cursing.

In an instant, Wu Chuanwei rushed out, beheading all the members of the Guanlong nobles in an instant.

This is not over yet. After killing these people, every family, men, women and children were pushed out, and all were beheaded to the ground, not even a single baby was spared.

"Set fire." Li Yuanji watched with relish, and when the kerosene was poured on the mountain of corpses and blood, he stood up, walked to the door with blood on the ground, and gave an order lightly.

One after another, torches were thrown towards the mountain of corpses.

With a sound of 'boom', a flame appeared on the ground, and it spread rapidly to the surroundings. The heat spread rapidly, and the burning became bigger and bigger, and the fire was intensified by the cans of kerosene.

Many soldiers couldn't bear to look at the thick burnt smell that filled the air above Dugu Mansion, and turned their heads while covering their noses.
