Chapter 1531 The Dragon King of Jinghe River is also dead

Deng Chanyu offered the Jinghe Dragon King some advice: "Heaven's will is not with the Dragon Clan. The best strategy is to completely sever your karmic connection with them. If you truly cannot bear to part with your offerings, why not send the Water Clan to build a village in the Shiwanda Mountains and secretly erect a Jinghe Dragon King Temple there? This will ensure the offerings are not cut off. Li Shimin can demolish the remaining temples."

"What should the village be called?"

"What two words did you just see?"

"Konoha?"

"Let's call it Konoha Village."

The sentence "Li Shimin died in the 13th year of Zhenguan" had a great influence on the court. This was a feudal era in which a large number of people would follow him in rebellion just by saying these two prophecies.

Even though most officials didn't believe this, there was still some who believed it. Half of the 12th year of Zhenguan had already passed. According to the prophecy, Li Shimin only had less than a year to live. So what were they waiting for? They had to quickly go and seek refuge with Crown Prince Li Chengqian!
There is no father and son in the royal family. Faced with the temptation of power, it is very normal for father and son to turn against each other. Especially since Li Shimin himself is a living example, the suspicion between father and son is getting more and more serious.

Li Shimin felt unsatisfied after killing Yuan Shoucheng, but he had no other choice.

Normally, the matter should have ended there. The foundation of the Tang Emperor's rule was shaken, the temple of the Jinghe Dragon King was destroyed, and both sides suffered losses.

But that wasn't the case.

Only three days have passed.

When Li Shimin was in court, he heard someone in the civil service team calling him: "Shimin, Dad and my third brother will be here soon. I've brought your sister-in-law and your nephews here too. We will be reunited soon!"

Li Shimin stood up from the dragon throne and glared at the official who was speaking.

"Take him away! Draw him into pieces! You dare to defy me? You must be punished with death!"

The official who was dragged away kept laughing, and his loud laughter echoed in the hall for a long time.

In less than half an hour, the five horses had dismembered the body.

The warriors in front of the palace brought up not severed limbs but a giant crab torn into pieces. It was obvious that the five horses used in the dismemberment were all good horses, fast and powerful, and they exerted their strength simultaneously, tearing the crab shell into pieces.
"Puchi!" Several ministers with low sense of humor and seniority from the Li Yuan period laughed out loud.

Li Shimin's face was extremely ugly.

The next day, another fearless aquatic creature transformed into the appearance of Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, wandered around the East Market and the West Market, and told the people about Li Shimin's series of actions of killing his brother and forcing his father, which shocked the people.

No matter how strong Li Shimin's civil and military skills were, his moral stain was difficult to wash away, which was an extremely fatal weakness for him.

"It must be the conspiracy of the Dragon King of Jinghe River. This guy is a poisonous snake. I want to kill him! Kill him!" Li Shimin wanted to kill the Dragon King of Jinghe River, but he couldn't say this in public, so he asked Wei Zheng to help him pass on the message. Whoever can kill the Dragon King of Jinghe River will be rewarded handsomely!

Wei Zheng was able to kill the Dragon King of Jinghe River in his dream. That was the result of the behind-the-scenes manipulation by various parties. It was not Wei Zheng who went to kill him personally, but he used him as a tool. Everything was ready. He only needed to go over and shout "behead" and the job would be done. In fact, anyone could go.

Now that the various forces behind the attack hadn't exerted their strength, the Tang court had to resort to its own methods to deal with the Jinghe River Dragon King. For a time, civil officials and military officers continuously submitted petitions with their own suggestions. One said, "We should continue to destroy temples. If one isn't enough, we'll destroy ten. If ten isn't enough, we'll destroy a hundred. This will completely cut off the incense offerings to the Jinghe River Dragon King."

Li Shimin said, okay, I’ll leave it to you.

That person said that we should abandon the term "Jinghe Dragon King" in all official documents and articles. From now on, he will no longer be the Dragon King, but will be called "Jinghe Esheng", which means a shallow and ignorant villain.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Very good, I'll leave it to you."

General Cheng Yaojin also proposed a solution, which is to pollute the Jing River. Let's dump shit into the Jing River!

Li Shimin covered his nose and said, "I'll leave this matter to you!"

Old Cheng had an extremely strong execution ability. He rode his horse to the Jing River to take a shit that day. Then he returned to Chang'an City and summoned all the dung bosses in Chang'an City to a meeting.

The most popular incident in period novels about the queen emptying her chamber pot happened in the 90s. Now it is the Tang Dynasty. As a big city with a population of millions, a huge amount of feces is produced every day. How to deal with it?

You pay a fee every month, and then leave your urine bucket at your door every morning, and the dung tyrant will send people to carry it out of the city. If you don't pay, then you have to deal with the feces yourself, whether you like it or not.

This is the group of people Cheng Yaojin is looking for. Stop wasting time and throw everything into the Jing River!

The civil and military officials were all quite capable. The Tang Dynasty today could not compare to the period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in ancient times, but it was a newly founded dynasty after all, and its fortune was at its peak. If the emperor set his mind to doing something, there were few things he could not accomplish.

Taoist priests, monks, and people from all walks of life were all summoned to Chang'an City. No matter whether it is effective or not, all of them should perform some kind of ritual to curse the Dragon King of Jing River to death.

Then they sent soldiers and civilians to fill the river. Today they carried a load of soil, and tomorrow they pulled a cart of sand. There were tens of thousands of civilians. The key was strength in numbers.

With Deng Chanyu's guarantee, the Dragon King of Jinghe River can attract hatred very steadily.

His own home was almost lost, but he still sent the water tribe to Chang'an City every few days to spread news. Today he said that Li Jiancheng was not dead yet, and now he has gained the support of most of the Guanlong nobles. In a few days he will rush back to Chang'an and ascend the throne to become emperor. Tomorrow Li Yuan's will will be announced, and whoever kills Li Shimin can divide the land and be crowned king!
Rumors are flying everywhere.

Li Shimin was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night. At the end, he was a little dazed. He often held his sword and shouted "Kill the dragon, kill the dragon!" in the empty hall.

Hard work pays off. After a month and a half of tug-of-war, the once crystal-clear Jing River was practically unbearable to look at. Of course, it wasn't just shit in there. How much could everyone in Chang'an poop together? It was mostly sand, rocks, and mud. The Skeleton King, Yin Kaishan, had even sunk over a hundred abandoned warships in the river.

It was really impossible to stay in the Jing River any longer, so the Dragon King of the Jing River rushed out of the river that night. He was discovered after only half a cup of tea, and thousands of arrows were fired at him. Generals such as Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and Su Dingfang also shot arrows on the shore. They shot not only arrows, but also part of their own luck.

The Dragon King of Jinghe River rose into the air for less than a hundred feet before he was shot and turned into a hedgehog. He fell headfirst onto the shore like a head onion and was beheaded by Cheng Yaojin with an axe.

"Congratulations, congratulations. The Dragon King has been liberated from the world today and will achieve enlightenment and ascend to paradise in the future." The soul of the Jinghe Dragon King was floating in the air with a bitter face and unable to speak. Deng Chanyu came out immediately to congratulate him. Since the man had sold his life, it was okay for her to say a few polite words.
