Different from the previous executions of prisoners, this time not only Li Shimin personally supervised the execution, but also civil and military officials watched from the sidelines.

People from other aristocratic families were very angry at Li Shimin's behavior, but they didn't dare to say anything at this time, because they now realized that Li Shimin was not as easy to control as they thought.

It's not that he didn't want to touch them, but that he didn't find a suitable opportunity, and Li Yi's move this time undoubtedly gave him this opportunity.

The family information copied from the homes of the officials of the Cui family in Qinghe and the Li family in Zhaojun filled half of the treasury, which was as empty as a racetrack. This news shocked the civil and military of the court.

Li Shimin was furious in the court hall, and in the last breath, he personally supervised the beheading, and he was accompanied by all civil and military officials.

To put it bluntly, this is not an escort, it's all about killing chickens and monkeys.

It is to use these crimes of the Li family and the Cui family to frighten other aristocratic families and stop their mouths.

Not to mention the excitement among the common people, many civil and military officials have long been dissatisfied with these aristocratic families, so no one pleaded for Li Shimin's actions.

Obviously, his goal has been achieved, and the effect is good.

Glancing at the sun, he felt that the time was almost up, and the people's emotions had reached the extreme, so Li Shimin picked up a chopping token and threw it out.

Seeing this, the execution supervisor hurriedly announced: "The time has come, let's execute the decision!"

With an order, the executioner suddenly poured a sip of wine into his mouth, then sprayed it on the gleaming broadsword with a puff, then raised it high, and the moment the knife was raised and dropped, countless heads rolled down.

Seeing this scene, the people were both scared and happy.

……

Youzhou.

After the war ended, Li Yi still had people dispose of the corpses in the same way as before.

At this time, he was eating hot pot with Cheng Yaojin and the others in the Duhu Mansion.

"Hey, young master, how do you make this hot pot? Why is it so delicious?" Cheng Yaojin asked while stuffing something into his mouth.

Yu Chigong didn't speak, but the chopsticks that kept going back and forth between the pot and his mouth were enough to show that he also liked it very much.

Not to mention the two old men Li Yuan and Fu Yuan.

Ever since Li Yuan came to Youzhou and met Fu Yuan, the two old men wandered around Anju Village all day long, eating at one place and another, never tired of eating.

Li Yi didn't bother to care about them so much, as long as he stayed calm and didn't cause trouble for him.

Hearing Cheng Yaojin's question, Li Yi smiled, "Why don't Duke Lu come to Youzhou to hang out with me, and make sure you have delicious food every day, how about it?"

Gollum!

Cheng Yaojin didn't know if he was frightened by Li Yi's words, but he was still excited. He just picked up a chopstick of chili pepper and put it into his mouth before looking at it quickly, and slid down his throat.

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Yaojin's cough that could shake the floor could be heard, "cough cough cough..."

"Young master, don't bully my old Cheng. I have old people and young people, I can't afford it."

He appreciates that Li Yi is true, but he, Cheng Yaojin, is also a principled person, and he will never do anything that betrays the Lord.

Li Yi smiled, didn't continue to say anything, picked up the wine glass, touched it with everyone, and drank it down.

Since Shan Xian learned how to make wine, it can be said that he has been brewing wherever he goes. In just a few months, the strong, mellow and spicy Gaojiu has become popular among the dignitaries in Youzhou.

Of course, people can buy it if they want to drink it, but the supply is relatively small, not because they don't want to supply more, the key is that the supply of this thing exceeds the demand, and Shan Xian can't do it alone.

Fortunately, Li Yi has also arranged for someone to build a workshop specializing in the production of various wines.

After all, this is not only about people's livelihood, but also a way to make money. The economic foundation determines the superstructure, which is the key to all development, so Li Yi attaches great importance to the economic development of Youzhou.

"Tsk tsk... This is really good wine." Cheng Yaojin smacked his mouth, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Little master, can I, old Cheng, discuss something with you?"

Li Yi raised his eyebrows, "Say it!"

"Can you give me part of your wine, and I'll sell it in my shop?"

Li Yi was a little surprised. He didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to have such a keen sense of smell that he could smell the business opportunities. Moreover, this is a good idea. Naturally, the more sales the better.

"Aren't you afraid that Chao Wenwu will impeach you?"

"Tch, I'm afraid it's useless. Those guys who are full and have nothing to do, they know how to be stupid all day long. If they have the ability, they can do it with my old Cheng."

Cheng Yaojin took a sip of wine and said indifferently.

"Okay, I am willing to cooperate with you, so you can go to Shan Xian about this matter." He didn't worry so much about specific things.

Cheng Yaojin nodded repeatedly, this is a good deal to make money.

After drinking and eating, Li Yi asked Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong to be sent out of the city.

As for Li Yuan, he refused to leave, and Li Yi didn't bother to force him.

Outside the city, Li Chengqian had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong coming out drunk, he couldn't help being furious: "Lu Guogong, E Guogong, why are you two so drunk? What's wrong with this?"

Cheng Yaojin gave Li Chengqian a white look, "I said eldest prince, you just take care of yourself and don't worry about my affairs."

Yu Chigong didn't speak, but his attitude was very obvious.

"You..." Li Chengqian was so angry that he felt like a fool, being played around by them.

Since the father has an order, why doesn't he know?
It's fine if you don't tell him, but he hates him so much when he watched him follow Cui Renshi and Li Liqing to die?
There are also Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong, they deserve to die, they even joined forces with his father to plot against him.

Li Chengqian's eyes were gloomy, and his hands were tightly clenched into fists. He wished he could kill Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong right now.

Obviously, he had forgotten why he was here.

"Prince, let's go." Cheng Yaojin's voice came from afar.

Li Chengqian didn't respond, walked over, sat down on the ground and acted foolishly, "The two princes are full, and the prince is still hungry."

Cheng Yaojin's face darkened, "Lieutenant General, what's going on?"

"Reporting to Lu Guogong, His Royal Highness said that he was not hungry, so he didn't eat." When the deputy general spoke, he was full of disdain for the prince Li Chengqian.

What he said now is all nice. It is clear that Li Chengqian was angry that Lu Guogong and E Guogong could enter Youzhou City with the Supreme Emperor, but Li Yi refused to leave the city.

Now you have the nerve to talk about this matter, shameless!
After understanding what happened, Cheng Yaojin nodded, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, it's a rule in the army that there is no food after the meal time. Just bear with it and eat more when you have your next meal."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Li Chengqian's reaction, he got on his horse and sent an order: "Let's go!"
