Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Soon, the staff of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the General Affairs Department began a joint investigation.  The truth of the matter was soon discovered. The truth was that even before Yeon Gaesumun left, the deputy city lord of Liaodong City had taken the initiative to seek refuge with Li Shimin and took the opportunity to carry out the assassination plan.  And Yeon Gaesumun also spent a lot of money and took the initiative to keep his beautiful assassins.  You must know that these beautiful assassins are usually the forbidden wives of Yeon Gaesumun. They not only have to solve some physiological needs of Yeon Gaesumun, but also help Yeon Gaesumun do some killings.  But now Yeon Gaesumun risked being a cuckold, and then gave these beautiful assassins to the officials of the Tang Dynasty to enjoy, hoping to assassinate them while they were happy.  This success rate should be very high.  However, Yeon Gaesumun did not expect that there would be a ninja responsible for assassination next to Jingwen, so he easily discovered that these beautiful assassins were "companions", which made Yeon Gaesumun's plan fall short.  Those beautiful assassins had been killed by Yuriko on the spot, and their hairpins had also been tested and found to be highly poisonous.  As long as it penetrates the body, it will be completely dead within a few minutes.  So their intention is obvious, and this has already made many generals furious.  We can¡¯t defeat him in a head-on battle, but he just resorted to this kind of assassination method. This Goguryeo man is too despicable.  Immediately, many generals declared that they would massacre all of Liaodong City, so as to eliminate the hatred in everyone's hearts.  And those Goguryeo officials who surrendered were all in danger, and they obviously didn't know what these Tang officers would think.  If they really want to massacre the city, it will be really miserable.  "Your Majesty, according to our investigation, more than a dozen of the officials who surrendered Goguryeo this time were complicit and directly helped these female assassins enter this place to perform. They also knew the inside story. And some of them were cowardly,  So they didn't participate directly. But they didn't report it. As for the remaining thirty people, they didn't participate and didn't know the situation, so the emperor can treat them differently.  Li Shimin took a look at these lists, and this time Yang Qin, the deputy city lord of Liaodong City, took the initiative to assassinate Li Shimin, and some officials from the original Goguryeo City Lord's Mansion provided help.  As for the real city lord, although he knew about Yang Qin and Yuengai Suwen's plan and did not participate in it, he did not come over to report it in time.  This shows that on the one hand, the city lord wants to stay out of the matter, but on the other hand, he also hopes that Li Shimin and these generals will die so that he can stay in Goguryeo and enjoy wealth.  It's not like being a surrendered general.  This kind of people are actually two-faced. On one side, they are afraid of the consequences of the incident, but on the other side, they also hope that it will happen.  Therefore, their hesitation caused them to stay out of the matter and not participate in it, but they would not report it.  Therefore, this assassination almost succeeded.  "Pah!" Li Shimin slammed the table hard and said angrily: "How brave! You actually dare to come and assassinate me. And you still have to assassinate so many generals. What are you doing here if you are so brave?" Although a day has passed,  However, Li Shimin was still angry, and he was obviously very angry at these assassins.  This is a matter of your own life.  There's no reason why Li Shimin didn't take it seriously and wasn't angry.  After all, many emperors were afraid of death, and so was Li Shimin.  This can be seen from the fact that Li Shimin began to pursue the art of immortality when he got old, so of course Li Shimin would not let go of his anger so easily, so he dealt with those who wanted to assassinate him.  Naturally, severe punishment will be adopted.  "Execute all those who are directly involved in the conspiracy. Kill the men who participated in the plot, Ling Chi, and behead the men. The women will be brought into the Yeting Palace. No, you can never be brought into the Yeting Palace. Send these women to the Qing Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty.  "Floor." Li Shimin said angrily.  The Yeting Palace was specially used by the Tang Dynasty to educate the female dependents of convicts. The daughters and concubines of these convicts were usually sent to the Yeting Palace for upbringing. Some became palace maids, and some even became concubines.  Of course, most of them became ordinary strong women, that is, women who specialized in menial work in the palace.  Originally, even if they were officials who had committed capital crimes, their female relatives would at most be sent to the Yeting Palace. But now, instead of being sent to the Yeting Palace, Li Shimin actually sent them to the brothel. That was simply cruel.  Li Shimin has really revealed his true colors now. He is no longer a benevolent and righteous gentleman, let alone a human king. He is now a tyrant.  Originally, Li Shimin had never punished the Nine Tribes against his own officials, even for the serious crime of rebellion, but now he actually wants to punish the Nine Tribes against these Goguryeo people. Obviously, he hates them even more than those officials who rebelled.  After all, the success rate of rebellion is too low, and there is no such serious sense of crisis.  But this assassination was really almost successful. Li Shimin is still sweating now!  "Those who knew the plan but deliberately did not report it will be destroyed!" Li Shimin said.  In Li Shimin¡¯s eyes, these people who know but do not report are considered bigIt's a sin. After all, if only one person came to report, even if it was just a secret report, it would not cause this consequence.  Therefore, Li Shimin hated those people who knew the truth but did not report it.  These people who did not report the knowledge originally thought that they would not participate. If they succeed, they will continue to enjoy the high salary of Goguryeo. Even if they fail, they will not have to take responsibility. They did not participate anyway.  But now it seems that this idea is so wonderful that it is simply impossible.  Li Shimin also wants to exterminate these guys who know the truth but don't report it, so that he can calm down his anger.  "As for the more than a thousand ordinary soldiers who surrendered in the city" Li Shimin wanted to decide the punishment of these soldiers.  Jing Wen quickly said: "Your Majesty, these ordinary soldiers did not participate in the conspiracy, so there is no need to kill them directly?" And Li Shimin said displeased: "Are we just going to let them go like this?" Jing Wen immediately said: "Your Majesty, why not kill them directly?"  Let them do manual labor for our citizens, specializing in jobs that are very dangerous and physically demanding, such as mining. We need things like iron ore, so we let these people mine.  Create a lot of benefits, what do you think, Your Majesty?" Li Shimin nodded and said, "Just do as you say, it will make them tired! You are welcome to watch this kind of rebellion!  Go ahead and kill the co-conspirators and those who knew and failed to report!"
