I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 428: Cutting down the feudal vassal
"Su Tan."

"Are you familiar?" Li Zheng sneered and pointed at the people being escorted by his guards.

When Su Tan looked at it, panic and despair suddenly appeared on his originally proud old face.

He struggled violently and roared: "Li Zheng."

But just as he stood up, two Yulin soldiers directly pressed him to the ground.

"The old minister neglected his duty and was replaced by Su Tan."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Zhang Gongjin looked at these six people and said in panic.

"This matter has nothing to do with you."

Li Zheng raised his hand and did not blame: "Su Tan sent these people outside Chang'an City. When he did such treacherous things as spreading smallpox and murdering his father, he had already thought of a way out. The Su family preserves its bloodline."

"Two sons, two daughters, two grandchildren."

"Among these prisoners, the six who were replaced were also found to have similar appearances."

"Haha, that's a good plan."

"It's just that he underestimated me."

talking.

Li Zheng looked at Su Tan: "Are you scared now?"

"Su Tan."

"Don't think that everything you do is perfect. I've already predicted you."

Su Tan looked at Li Zheng in horror, despair spreading.

Especially looking at Li Zheng's eyes was like looking at a demon from hell, it was too scary.

Everything he planned was seen through by Li Zheng.

"Those replacement offenders will also be punished with associated crimes."

"Since we are the Su family, let's die together."

"As for these six, they will be taken to the execution ground and sentenced to death." Li Zheng said coldly.

"I accept the decree."

Zhang Gongjin nodded.

Time passes slowly.

At three quarters to noon.

"Let's start, Your Highness."

"It's three o'clock at noon." Zhang Gongjin glanced at the sky and said loudly.

Li Zheng did not hesitate.

He took out a token and threw it into the execution ground: "Behead."

This time.

All those with blood ties to Su Tan were executed by Ling Chi.

Other members of the Su family were implicated and beheaded.

but.

Looking at Su Tan's young grandchildren, Li Zheng was not so cruel. He did not imprison them, but beheaded them to give them a happy life.

As for the adults, Li Zheng will not be polite anymore.

Following Li Zheng's order.

More than three hundred executioners held machetes and raised their hands to chop off the victims.

Click!

Countless muscles and bones were broken, there was a sound of blood splattering, and more than 300 heads fell to the ground.

And they deserve it.

Look at these heads rolling in front of you.

Su Tan, Su Ye, and all their direct bloodlines turned pale with fright.

No one is not afraid of death. If you are really not afraid, it is not that you are not afraid, but that you have looked away.

For people like Su Tan who are greedy for power, it is obvious that they are very afraid of death.

"Good kill."

"The Su family deserves it."

"Good kill."

"Kill them all, kill them all..."

The people watching around raised their hands and burst into loud cheers.

It is also a pleasure to watch these evil people die, especially the people who were harmed by smallpox.

"Lingchi."

Li Zheng said coldly. At this time.

A dozen or so weak executioners from the Ministry of Punishment arrived, holding boxes instead of machetes.

Open the box.

Inside are various sharp knives.

Su Tan, Su Ye and the others were also tied directly to the wooden frame, making them unable to move.

Ling Chi wanted to make them suffer endless pain and watch his life pass by.

"Execution."

Everyone is in place, Zhang Gongjin gives the order.

Lingchi's executioner began to move.

time.

"Ah...ah..."

Screams spread throughout the execution ground.

Seeing the disabilities of the entire Su Tan family, Li Zheng felt filled with joy.

……

The Royal Palace, the Palace of Political Affairs.

Li Zheng walked slowly.

Li Shimin looked at it and smiled slightly: "Has it been dealt with?"

"All dealt with."

The entire Su family died of pain.

"This can be regarded as revenge for the people of Chang'an." Li Zheng said.

"Okay, the pandemic is over now, don't think about it anymore."

"The more important thing is to look forward."

"Give."

Li Shimin smiled, took out a memorial, and handed it to Li Zheng.

"What is this?" Li Zheng took it.

"The auspicious day selected by the Ministry of Rites for your canonization is on the 20th Monkey Day, which is a great day."

"How is it?" Li Shimin smiled.

"Okay." Li Zheng nodded: "But before that, I have a suggestion."

"Just mention whatever you want to mention." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Because of the spread of smallpox in the Su family, my original plan to reduce the vassal state has been temporarily shelved. Now that the epidemic has been confirmed, it is time to proceed."

"I plan to issue an edict in the name of my father to seize the military power of the vassal king, and summon the vassal king to the capital for an audience. By the way, I can also participate in the canonization ceremony."

"of course."

"Since we are a family, let's sit down together and explain everything clearly, so as not to make them unhappy if I do anything in the future."

"Furthermore, my father has not seen these uncles for a long time, and all the princes, please take this opportunity to let my father meet them." Li Zheng said with a smile.

Hear the words.

Li Shimin nodded: "Just do as you say, everything will be done in my name. If I say that your words are useless to them, then they will be just like the fourth child, and they will be rebellious. If it is true, That’s it, as long as you keep one life, the rest is up to you.”

"correct."

"If you want to seize military power, you will be directly controlled by the imperial court."

"Originally, my brothers and generals who are my sons and the people are not good enough. What do you think?" Li Shimin asked again.

"I have asked the Lord Protector to select the generals. Moreover, among the generals under the vassal kings from various places, I do not intend to abandon them. They are all generals of the Tang Dynasty. I should reuse those who are capable.

"For example, the generals under Li Tai's command, as long as they understand the principle of country first, I will also use it."

"In the final analysis, just disrupt them. For example, the generals under the command of the King of Yanshan are serving as generals under the King of Liangzhou, and the generals under the King of Liangzhou have gone to the territory of the King of Wu."

"Of course, everything is still based on the generals I selected, and those generals serve as deputy." Li Zheng said with a smile.

Hear this.

Li Shimin nodded happily: "Li Zheng, you are right. All the vassal states in the world are the territory of the Tang Dynasty. They are all your territory. The same is true for the vassal territories. They are all my generals of the Tang Dynasty."

"I'll tell you something too."

"Choose capable generals and loyal generals. If you can use them, use them. If you can't, use them. If you can't, discard them."

"I have tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty and many talented people. As an emperor, you control your subjects and appoint them. You control the world and all living beings. Under you, anything and anyone can be replaced. This is your point. To understand.”

Li Zheng nodded solemnly: "I understand."

"With the vassal king's reduction of military power, the Tang Dynasty will be stable." Li Shimin said with a smile.

Li Zheng nodded and responded with a smile.
