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

Chapter 433 King Jing’s unwillingness

Listen and take it with you.

Li Yuanjing's expression changed, and he raised his head suddenly, with a sense of unwillingness and anger in his eyes.

He stood up suddenly.

He asked the envoy in front of him: "Is this what the emperor meant, or what Li Zheng meant?"

"If you seize my military power, will I still be the king?" Li Yuanjing shouted angrily.

Look at his angry look.

Behind Li Yuanjing, his servants were all terrified, kneeling on the ground and not daring to make a sound.

In the face of the imperial edict, Li Yuanjing dared to question it, and he even dared to stand up directly, which shows how domineering he was in the fiefdom.

"King Jing, please pay attention to your attitude."

"This is the imperial edict and the emperor's holy judgment. Do you want to disobey the imperial edict?"

This envoy was not used to Li Yuanjing, so he closed the imperial edict and said coldly.

"How dare you speak to me like this."

"Are you looking for death?"

Li Yuanjing's face was full of violence, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

"I am a clerk from the Ministry of Rites. I am here to deliver the message on the emperor's order. If King Jing dares to kill me, he can do it."

"But you should know the emperor's temper."

"This is the imperial edict. If King Jing does not accept it, I will directly return to Chang'an to report to the emperor." The messenger from the Ministry of Rites did not have any panic, but calmly raised the imperial edict.

And his eyes looked at Li Yuanjing calmly.

The imperial power is there.

Li Shimin is here.

His Royal Highness is here.

As an envoy of the imperial power, how could he be afraid of King Jing?

Hear the words of this messenger.

Li Yuanjing's eyes were full of unwillingness and anger, but he thought of Li Shimin's indifferent and ruthless look, and thought that Lujiang King Li Yuan, Wei King Li Tai, and the emperor's grandson Li Wei had been imprisoned in the ancestral temple forever.

If he doesn't accept the order, this is what will happen.

It will even be worse.

Because if he didn't accept the imperial edict, it would be a slap in the emperor's face. With his ruthlessness, Li Shimin would never let him go.

rebel?

He wants to rebel just because he has 30,000 troops in his fiefdom?

If there is no food and grass, military pay and military personnel will also be cut off.

How can it be that simple?

and.

If he dares to disobey the imperial edict, no matter how loyal his trusted generals are, the troops under his command will definitely not dare to rebel. They will never dare to commit rebellion or genocide. Moreover, they are facing Li Shimin, a wise king of the generation. The emperor cannot defeat him even if he wants to.

Under the watchful eye of the messenger.

Li Yuanjing struggled for a long time.

after all.

Still, he slowly stepped forward and took the imperial edict.

"Brother, Li Yuanjing accepts the order." Li Yuanjing gritted his teeth and said.

"I also ask King Jing to summon the generals above the fiefdom, and return them to Chang'an immediately to report on their duties. As for the army, temporarily assign a general to lead the entire army."

"After returning to Chang'an, the emperor will personally decide on the replacement general." The official of the Ministry of Rites said loudly.

"Brother, take the order." No matter how unwilling Li Yuanjing was, he could only endure it.

"besides."

"Not long after, Prince Li Zheng will be enthroned as Crown Prince in the main hall."

"The emperor has a decree, and all the princes in the world will go together to watch the ceremony."

"Please make preparations, Your Highness King Jing, and set off when you are ready."

"I am waiting for Your Highness at the post house." The envoy from the Ministry of Rites said to Li Yuanjing again.

Then he walked slowly. A group of Yulin troops followed him.

Left the main hall.

After the envoy from the Ministry of Rites left.

Li Yuanjing could no longer hold back his anger.

"Asshole."

"Asshole."

Li Yuanjing turned around with a violent look on his face.

He directly kicked the servant behind him.

These servants could only endure the pain, not daring to hide or scream. In Prince Jing's Mansion.

Li Yuanjing was very tyrannical, even more violent than the previous King of Lujiang.

in history.

Because of his tyranny, he had no choice but to curse or even kill anyone in the mansion. No matter who he was, he would curse or even kill anyone. Countless servants dared to be angry but dared not speak, so they could only endure it.

And he paid the price for his violence.

Was poisoned.

Even now, with his character, he would probably have followed the original historical path and been poisoned in the long run.

of course.

As you really decide, cut the feudal lordship.

Li Shimin fully cooperated in order to better control the rewards of the Tang Dynasty for his imperial son and not to leave him any future troubles.

He personally issued an order to seize the military power of the feudal king.

It's not just the Jing King Li Yuanjing, but also the vassal kings all over the world.

Li Zhiyun, King of Chu.

Zhou Wang Li Yuanfang.

Xu Wang Li Yuanli.

King Zheng Li Yuanyi.

King Li Yuanjia of Han.

Peng Wang Li Yuanze.

Langya King Li Chong.

Yong Wang Li Lin.

……

Now all the vassal kings have received the imperial edict from Chang'an Mansion.

After receiving the imperial edict to reduce military power, the vassal kings had different thoughts. Some did not dare to have any opinions and just obeyed directly, while others were unwilling but had to obey.

But no matter what.

Under Li Shimin's majesty, none of them dared to disobey.

This is why Li Zheng is pursuing the decision to reduce the vassalage. Because his father is here, his uncles and brothers dare not mess around. Who in the world can match his father in terms of power?

One person's name.

It is enough to shock the world.

Those uncles, brothers, and we are all just brats who made mistakes when they came to see their father. None of them dared to do anything.

Youzhou Prefecture.

King Wu Li Ke accepted the imperial edict.

but.

There is nothing different from the imperial edicts of other feudal kings.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ning."

"Now Scorpio loves sixteen vassals, but you are the most special."

The envoy from the Ministry of Rites looked at Li Ke and smiled.

"What's so special?" Li Ke, who accepted the imperial edict, was a little confused.

This time when it came to upgrading qualifications, I talked about one thing.

It was his brother Li Zheng who was about to hold a grand ceremony for the canonization of the crown prince. He was asked to leave for Chang'an to observe the ceremony, and there was nothing else.

"The imperial decrees received by other feudal lords are two things."

"The first thing is the canonization ceremony of His Royal Highness, and the second thing is to reduce the vassal status." The envoy from the Ministry of Rites said with a smile.

"Cutting down the vassal?" Li Ke looked confused, but then he came back to his senses: "Li Zheng has told me about this matter before, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon."

"Yes."

"His Highness has foresight, and the Emperor has also figured it out and fully supported it. He does not want His Highness to accept a mess in the future, so he issued an order to reduce the vassal status and reduce the military power of other vassal kings in the world except King Wu. From now on, the vassal king can only control the fiefdom. Government affairs, not military power.”

"Only His Highness King Wu has the trust of His Highness, so the matter of reducing military power does not fall on His Highness King Wu." The envoy from the Ministry of Rites said with a smile.

"This king is different from those uncles."

"They have been a vassal for many years, and many of them have expressed ambitions that they should not have. But this king is different. I am loyal to His Highness."

"Li Zheng naturally understands this." Li Ke said with a serious face.

After hearing what the envoy from the Ministry of Rites said, Li Ke understood the meaning of this imperial edict.

"Your Highness trusts King Wu, this is the only one."

"In the future, King Wu will definitely get more than this." The envoy from the Ministry of Rites smiled.

"Then I'll take your good advice." Li Ke said with a smile.
