The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 207 The End of Yin Hongzhi
"Where are the princes? Why didn't you come to the court meeting?" Li Shimin asked sullenly in the Tai Chi Hall.

It turned out that Li Chengqian didn't go to the Taiji Hall to listen to the government today, and he didn't even say hello to Li Shimin.This made Li Shimin very angry.

However, no one in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty really knew where Li Chengqian went.Even Cheng Yaojin and Changsun Wuji had no reason to want to cover for Li Chengqian.

Just when Li Shimin was angry, the Huangmen official walked into the Taiji Hall and reported to Li Shimin: "Report to the emperor, His Royal Highness is waiting outside the Taiji Hall."

Hearing that Li Chengqian was outside the Tai Chi Hall, everyone couldn't help but feel strange.Even Li Shimin was very puzzled.

And Cheng Yaojin said to Yu Chigong in a low voice: "Which one is this kid singing today?"

"I'm talking about Cheng Yaojin, when will your memory be long? Does that kid make us suffer less? If you want me to say, as long as we have something to do with that kid, it's best for us to keep our mouths shut." Yuchi Gong glanced at Cheng Yaojin and said.

"Don't talk about it, Da Lao Hei, what you said really hit the point." Cheng Yaojin nodded and said.

At the same time, Li Shimin has ordered Li Chengqian to enter the palace.Not long after, Li Chengqian led people into the Tai Chi Hall.

Entering the Tai Chi Hall, Li Chengqian saluted Li Shimin respectfully, and then said to Li Shimin, "Father, Yin Hongzhi has been brought back."

It turned out that Li Chengqian received the news early this morning.It is said that Xue Rengui and Zhao Tingxuan captured Yin Hongzhi and Yang Yanjie alive and brought them back to Chang'an City.

This is also the reason why Li Chengqian did not appear in the Tai Chi Hall on time to participate in the court meeting.Now that everything has been dealt with, Li Chengqian brought the two of them to the Tai Chi Hall.

Seeing Yin Hongzhi below, Li Shimin couldn't help but turn pale.He opened his mouth and asked Yin Hongzhi: "I ask you, have I ever treated you badly?"

"Hahaha, Li Shimin, don't cry like a cat and pretend to be merciful. Have you forgotten the lives of my father, Shishi Yin, and hundreds of members of the Yin family?" Yin Hongzhi said to Li Shimin with a sneer.

"It seems that you are still obsessed with the matter until now. Originally, you should have been sentenced to death. But I see that Concubine Yin has contributed to giving birth to a prince for me, so I will exile you to a barren land to fend for myself." Li Shimin shook his head. Said.

But at this moment, Concubine Yin led Li You into the Tai Chi Hall.But Concubine Yin never looked at Yin Hongzhi from the beginning to the end.

Instead, he came directly in front of Li Shimin, saluted Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the emperor has broken the law and treated the common people as the same crime."

"Yin Hongzhi is a traitor, the emperor should not pardon him. I also ask the emperor to behead him to rectify the law of the country. It's just that the concubine hopes that after killing him, the emperor can let the king of Yan handle his affairs."

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help being shocked when they heard Concubine Yin's words.Now that Li Shimin has spared Yin Hongzhi's death penalty, it stands to reason that his sister should be happy.

But unexpectedly, Concubine Yin refused Li Shimin to forgive Yin Hongzhi.I just hope that my son can take care of his uncle's funeral affairs.

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Concubine Yin is indeed my virtuous concubine. But since I have decreed to spare him the death penalty, how can I go back on my word?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Concubine Yin shook her head, then said to Yin Hongzhi without looking back, "Yin Hongzhi, do you think you should still be alive?"

Hearing her sister's words, Yanhong couldn't help showing a self-deprecating smile.Recalling that he ignored his sister's safety and hijacked his own nephew to escape from Chang'an City.

This really made him have no face to live anymore.However, he was also worried that his sister would be implicated. Maybe this is the reason why people speak kindly when they are about to die.

So Yin Hongzhi sneered and said: "Hahaha, now that you are a majestic imperial concubine, I'm afraid you have already forgotten all about your family feud."

"A woman like you is not worthy of the surname Yin. Even if I, Yin Hongzhi, die today, I will let my father drive you, an unfilial daughter, out of the Yin family when I go to the underworld."

After Yin Hongzhi finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and slammed into the pillars in the Tai Chi Hall.Prepare to crash directly to death in the Tai Chi Hall.

But before he could take a few steps forward, Li Chengqian directly pulled him back.And kicked him on the leg, making him kneel in front of Li Shimin again.

"Father, I think you should ask Lao Wu before deciding whether to forgive Yin Hongzhi." Li Chengqian said.

After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded involuntarily, and then said to Li You beside him, "Then tell me, whether your uncle deserves to die or not."

"Father, the son thinks he deserves to die. Along the way, he lied to the son, saying that the father has killed the concubine mother and is sending people to hunt down the son."

"If it's just for his life, I feel that he can be spared the death penalty. But his real purpose is to prepare to bring him to Goguryeo and treat him as a puppet. Then, in the name of his son, he will use the strength of Goguryeo , overthrow my Great Tang Dynasty."

"This is also the reason why the concubine mother brought her son to the Tai Chi Hall and asked the emperor not to let him go." Li Youxian said to Li Shimin.

After hearing this, Li Shimin looked at Concubine Yin again.Then he opened his mouth and said, "Come here, push Yin Hongzhi out and behead him."

"Father, I hope that Yin Hongzhi can be handed over to my son. My son wants to use Yin Hongzhi's dog head to commemorate the eight hundred and four elephant guards who died in battle." Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this, and then said: "Yesterday the prince came to me and said that he buried the [-] warriors who died in battle today. If you have nothing to do, you can go with me."

……

Dozens of miles outside Chang'an City, there is a treasured Fengshui place sheltered from the wind and facing the sun.Eight hundred corpses were lined up there.And behind these corpses, there is a stone tower made of stones.

And Li Shimin led all the civil and military officials, standing not far from these corpses.Although I have seen life and death on the battlefield, I still feel a little sad at this time.

Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Father, my ministers built a hero tomb here. Let the brothers who died in battle have a place to rest their souls."

Seeing Li Shimin nodded, Li Chengqian said to Cheng Yaojin who was standing beside him: "Grandpa Lu, in order to let the souls of these heroes rest in peace, I hope that Duke Lu will do me a favor. Do you know if Duke Lu is willing?"

Cheng Yaojin felt his heart tremble when he heard Li Chengqian calling him.Knowing that this is Li Chengqian ready to retaliate against himself.

So he sighed and said, "Second Lord, you really didn't call it for nothing! Tell me, what do you want me to do? As long as you don't bury me, Old Cheng, with them."
