My wife is Invincible East

Chapter 573 Li Shimin's Death

"I've said it before, I'm Zhu Moye, Your Majesty, have you forgotten?" Zhu Moye looked at Li Shimin in front of him calmly, obviously a little disappointed with Li Shimin at this moment.

"Are you Zhu Moye? Haha, I'm afraid it's more than that. Well, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This country is handed over to you. I just hope that the people can live a prosperous life." After confirming his defeat, Li Shimin still retained some of the demeanor of a heroic lord. Even so, it was already a last hurrah.

Watching Li Shimin draw his sword alone, Zhu Moye stood with his hands behind his back, a faint smile on his face: "Of course, I will ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment."

His confident words made it impossible for people to doubt the truth of his words. Zhu Moye was born with such a magical power that it seemed that the words coming out of his mouth must be true.

Li Shimin smiled sadly. At this point, he had nothing to be nostalgic about. With the sword across his neck, the great leader Li Shimin passed away.

A lightning dragon streaked across the sky, as if it was seeing off this great leader, and as if it was witnessing the rise of another emperor.

After the thunder, there was a rainstorm. This was different from the usual case of loud thunder followed by little rain. This rain came quickly and suddenly, and it continued continuously, as if it would rain all night long.

However, Zhu Moye didn't need to worry about these things. His body, which was above the level of a terrestrial immortal, meant he didn't have to worry about catching a cold.

However, when facing Li Shimin's corpse, Zhu Moye still stood for a while. After a while, he opened the door and called a confidant to come over: "Clean up the inside. After all, it is the King of Tang. Bury him properly."

Although Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, once turned evil and wanted to harm him, it must be said that before his death, Li Shimin still gained some respect from Zhu Moye.

This is the standard that an emperor should have.

Zhu Moye's magnanimity convinced his confidant, who immediately took the order and went forward.

On this stormy night, the Tang Dynasty's regime also completed the transition from the old to the new.

The Tang Dynasty Palace at this time was no longer as magnificent as before. During this period of time, Zhu Moye had caused the emperor of the Tang Dynasty an unknown amount of pressure. It was because of this that he was so confused and at a loss when facing Zhu Moye.

If someone else were here, perhaps it would be better for Li Shimin at this time. However, Zhu Moye did not have much sympathy for this. Or rather, in Zhu Moye's eyes, being able to send him to this point was already very good.

In comparison, instead of letting Li Shimin live in constant fear, Zhu Moye felt that letting him die like this would be a relief. At least, that was what Zhu Moye thought.

I just don’t know what Li Shimin is thinking in the netherworld, but even Zhu Moye is not interested in knowing.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This has been the case since ancient times. For example, if the loser in front of Li Shimin was Zhu Moye, would he let him go?

No, it goes without saying that Zhu Moye is well aware that this struggle for imperial power has always been like walking on a tightrope. No one beside him can help him. Compared to the natural succession of the Ming Dynasty, this time it is actually more difficult.

After all, the Tang Dynasty was still relatively stable at this time, and Li Shimin, before his dark turn, was also a good monarch. It's just a pity that he shouldn't have pressed Zhu Moye so hard. Perhaps it was Li Shimin's relentless pressure on Zhu Moye that led the two to their current situation.

"Now that things have come to this, it's useless to say these things." Zhu Moye stood alone in this huge palace. The guards looked at the man in front of them with awe. It was this man who raised an army all the way and fought for independence and redress.

At the time, no one in Chang'an took the man's words seriously. After all, the Tang Dynasty had only been established for a few years. It was a time of peace and prosperity, so the man's words seemed a bit ridiculous. But in reality, there are some people in this world who are truly blessed by heaven.

For example, before Zhu Moye broke through Chang'an City, no one had ever thought that Li Shimin, who was once known as the Heavenly Khan, would actually be defeated by this young man.

Yes, probably only when talking about this, everyone will suddenly remember Zhu Moye's age. At this time, if we simply talk about his age, he has just reached the age of twenty.

It was such a young man who, at this moment, pulled down the Khan who was sitting on the throne and took his place.

The people outside did not know what was happening in the palace, but they could see this scene from the blood seeping out from behind Zhu Moye.

It goes without saying that Li Shimin, who is in here, is probably in great danger.

Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to understand why everyone was so afraid when looking at Zhu Moye in front of them.

After all, for them, wanting to do such a thing is a little too shocking.

After all, this was the feudal era, and the supremacy of royal power was deeply rooted in everyone's heart. Their respect for Li Shimin was more like respect for royal power.

No one dared to underestimate Zhu Moye, the young man in front of them, because everyone knew very well that this young man would probably only show some sentimental moments tonight.

Starting from the next day, he will ascend the most supreme throne of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Moye.

"Spread the message." Zhu Moye stood in the cold wind for a while. The cold rain outside could not disrupt his thoughts. The people next to him did not dare to persuade him at all. At this time, Zhu Moye was in great power.

"Li Shimin has passed away." Zhu Moye glanced at the soldiers beside him indifferently. Once these words were spoken, the entire Tang Dynasty was about to change.

"..." No one dared to say anything and they all knelt on the ground, but they were heading towards Zhu Moye.

Chapter 574: Stormy

When Zhu Moye said this, he knew that the entire Tang Dynasty would, unless something unexpected happened, usher in the biggest change.

For the Tang Dynasty at that time, this should be a very surprising change, but for Zhu Moye at that time, there is nothing to care about. If it were any other time, he might not bother to do these things.

If Li Shimin had not pushed him too hard, Zhu Moye would not have bothered to do so much, but since Li Shimin had come to this point, he did not mind teaching him a lesson.

When Li Shimin died, Zhu Moye was not sure what he was thinking at the time, but he was very clear that he would face new tests next.

When everyone was kneeling on the ground, no one dared to look up at Zhu Moye, and no one knew what Zhu Moye was thinking at that time.

Looking up at the bright moon above his head, there seemed to be a hint of gloom between Zhu Moye's brows. He remembered it very clearly.

It has been almost a year since I came into this world, and time seems to be becoming more and more urgent.

As the saying goes, a day in heaven is like a year on earth.

This sentence is very appropriate here. It has been a long time since Zhu Moye started to cause trouble in the underworld.

If the heavenly court needs to mobilize troops, it is probably something that will happen during this period of time.

At this time, Zhu Moye was still not sure when the Heavenly Court would start attacking him based on its efficiency at that time.

However, before that, Zhu Moye was also very clear that he had to deal with the matters at hand.

Since ancient times, the most important thing is not money and food, but military power.

Zhu Moye implemented this point very well. Ever since he first had the idea of ​​joining the army, he had been trying to master this power, until the final battle with Li Shimin.

Even Li Shimin did not expect that Zhu Moye had accumulated such a large army right under his nose without his knowledge.

It was the combat effectiveness supported by Zhu Moye's huge army that caught Li Shimin by surprise and caused him to suffer heavy losses. If not, Li Shimin would hardly have been defeated at this time. It was under such circumstances that Zhu Moye attached more and more importance to military power.

The most important thing for Zhu Moye now is not the military power. He needs to handle all the big and small matters of the entire Tang Dynasty.

Since the news of Li Shimin's death spread, the world was shocked.

No one expected that it was just a small action of Zhu Moye to rise up and establish himself as an independent ruler, and the princes surnamed Li at that time did not think much about it.

In other words, in their eyes, like Li Shimin, they did not take Zhu Moye in front of them seriously.

After all, in the eyes of these people, Zhu Moye at this moment was still a little too weak.

It was precisely because of this that Zhu Moye gradually seized the opportunity and eroded Li Shimin's power bit by bit.

By the time the princes and nobles discovered that the war situation was becoming increasingly unsettled and Li Shimin was in complete trouble, it was too late for them to raise an army to rescue Li Shimin.

What was even more surprising was that not long after this, news came that Li Shimin had passed away.

Even a fool could easily guess that this was done by Zhu Moye.

The thought of this made people speechless. If someone else said this in such a situation, they would probably feel angry and embarrassed. But when it came to Zhu Moye, everyone's expressions fell silent.

I don’t know what everyone should say at this time, because before Zhu Moye took action, no one had ever equated him with treason.

Until this time, no one thought about it in this direction, but what no one could have imagined was that Zhu Moye, who was underestimated by everyone and regarded as just an ordinary general, actually seized the throne of the Tang Dynasty quietly.

This was really beyond everyone's expectations, and at this moment, everyone suddenly realized that at this time, the highest power of the Tang Dynasty had fallen into the hands of Zhu Moye.

Anyone who wanted to declare war on Zhu Moye, even with a huge army like Li Shimin, was defeated by Zhu Moye. If others wanted to rebel, it would also take some time to organize.

But even in such a situation, Zhu Moye had already spread the news of Li Shimin's death throughout the Tang Dynasty. What followed was the news that he had purged the imperial court. Then Li Shimin committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and he felt deeply regretful.

Such written words really made the princes and nobles with the surname Li feel angry for a while. Even if they were fools, they would not believe what Zhu Moye said at this time.

To what extent must the situation have forced the great leader of the Tang Dynasty to choose suicide? Moreover, Zhu Moye added deep regret at the end, which really makes people speechless.

At least, under the circumstances at this time, many princes and nobles with the surname Li were trying to incite the people under their rule to oppose Zhu Moye.

However, Zhu Moye's previous brainwashing activities were very successful. Even these ordinary people were brainwashed into respecting Zhu Moye. The power of their faith served to increase Zhu Moye's energy.

For him at this time, it is the best tonic.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the princes and nobles with the surname Li to rashly launch an uprising. One reason was that they had not yet united and their strength was simply not enough.

Secondly, at this time, Zhu Moye had already anticipated that they would not be able to stay still, and had sent people to take back their military power one by one. Except for the private soldiers within a restricted scope, no one else was left.

After hearing this news, the princes and nobles with the surname Li immediately became restless. How could such news come out? They naturally knew how important military power was.

The best proof is that Zhu Moye in front of him chose to send people to take back the military power from them without hesitation.

Chapter 575 Regime

If someone else were here, they might not make such a decision.

But when they got here, everyone felt a sense of fear for a while.

This military power now seems to have become a very hot potato. No one knows whether to take it over or not.

In this situation, no one knew what to do.

Only a few people chose to surrender. These were princes who were already relatively weak, with limited fiefs and few private soldiers. The military power they held was only for show. Despite this, they were still quite powerful in the local area and actually chose to surrender to Zhu Moye.

This immediately attracted the scornful gazes of others. At this time, Zhu Moye announced the news of Li Shimin's death to the people, and ordered people to strictly block the news of his own ascension to the throne. Then he ordered people to find a way to collect information about the princes and generals who held military power.

At such a moment, Zhu Moye was very clear about the importance of military power in this era. Before ascending the throne, Zhu Moye had to find a way to eliminate all threats under his rule.

Only in this case can Zhu Moye ascend the throne with peace of mind. Before he is ready, he will never mention this matter, and the news of his ascension to the throne will naturally remain blocked.

Even the people around Zhu Moye did not expect that Zhu Moye could endure to such an extent. It is really hard to imagine.

No matter what, that is the throne, the supreme royal power in this era. There are countless people who want to grasp it and countless people who covet this position.

Even those Li princes who were unwilling in their hearts, what they thought about most was probably to inherit the throne themselves. Who would really want to avenge Li Shimin who had inherited the throne for only a few years?

In such an environment, it was a simple thought for everyone to think so. However, Zhu Moye knew that these were the points he could exploit. As long as he used them well, it would not be impossible to defeat these princes from within.

However, at this moment, Zhu Moye felt a little funny, and he didn't know why he suddenly found himself in such a situation.

Speaking of which, Zhu Moye suddenly remembered that before, he seemed to have thought that he should be a good and law-abiding general. But unexpectedly, Li Shimin's moves forced him onto another path.

"It's normal that these princes and nobles are unwilling to hand over the military power in their hands." Zhu Moye stood in the hall. He knew very well that the situation at this moment was probably very simple in the eyes of these people, but at this time, he was too lazy to say more.

"Those who are unwilling to hand it over will be treated as rebels." Zhu Moye had no smile on his face and his tone of voice was extremely calm, but for no reason, people could feel the feeling of a calm volcano beneath his calm expression.

It's just that Zhu Moye's calmness on the surface concealed his emotions, but anyone who liked Zhu Moye could see the change in his expression at this moment.

At such a moment, those people who usually acted arrogantly in their own mansions could never have imagined that at such a moment, Zhu Moye would still be in the mood to think about them. However, at this time, they were also very clear that they had long become a thorn in Zhu Moye's eyes and a thorn in his flesh.

However, they were all confident that Zhu Moye would not dare to take action.

It’s a pity that they all misjudged this point. For example, in such a situation, they were not able to predict Zhu Moye’s courage.

Especially in this situation, when those people fell from the sky, those who had refused to hand over their military power were dumbfounded.

Compared with the previous emperors who mostly adopted, or could only use, gentle means, Zhu Moye's methods seemed too tough. At a time like this, such tough measures were needed.

This was a time when the Tang Dynasty was in turmoil. If the domestic regime could not be stabilized quickly, it was hard to say whether the country would fall apart.

What you need to know is that what Zhu Moye wanted was a complete Tang Dynasty, not a Tang Dynasty with scattered territories. That was not Zhu Moye's original intention.

Perhaps it was because of this idea that when Zhu Moye saw these people who had been playing tricks and refusing to hand over their military power and even more unwilling to cooperate with him, he knew that the other party just wanted to use this to ask for some benefits from him, or wanted to take advantage of him and give him some disgusting ideas.

However, although Zhu Moye understood them, it did not mean that he would tolerate these people.

These people are from the Li family, but not from the Zhu family. Not to mention that Zhu Moye is ruthless and decisive when he takes action, so he will not show mercy to these people.

Zhu Moye will never allow people like this who think they have grasped Zhu Moye's lifeline and can jump around freely to continue.

At any other time, Zhu Moye might have tolerated them a little, but at this moment, he was in no mood to continue playing games with these people. Since soft tactics didn't work, he naturally resorted to hard tactics. Before these people could even open their mouths to object, Zhu Moye had already thrown them all into the Heavenly Prison.

As for how to do it, it is very convenient for Zhu Moye to drive some people to do things for him, but don't forget that his current level of cultivation is already above the level of Earthly Immortal.

If Zhu Moye's cultivation was not insufficient, according to the solidity of his soul, his cultivation would not be just this level.

"General." When Zhu Moye was reducing and suppressing these domestic destabilizing factors and putting those who should be put in jail, a voice suddenly came from the side, which immediately disrupted Zhu Moye's thoughts.

Chapter 576: Tough Style

Hearing the voice of someone shouting in front, Zhu Moye seemed to have just reacted. He raised his head and looked at the figure in front of him. He couldn't help but frowned: "What are you doing?"

No one knew when it happened, but all the court officials who were willing to stand on Zhu Moye's side came to Zhu Moye at this time.

Although Zhu Moye did not live directly in the emperor's bedroom at this time, he chose a palace that Li Shimin had never lived in before. In such a difficult time, it would not be a big deal to endure a little.

If someone knew that Zhu Moye regarded sleeping in the Tang Dynasty Palace as a way to experience life, I wonder what they would think. But for Zhu Moye at this moment, he probably did have such an idea.

If someone else were in Zhu Moye's position, he might be ecstatic. Li Shimin committed suicide, and he could become the next emperor of the Tang Dynasty and rule the country.

Such a grand idea, just thinking about it, makes people feel excited.
