Datang: My private money was exposed by Li Shimin

Li Shimin's words immediately calmed down many resentful refugees.

The dignified son of heaven, dare to criticize himself so harshly in front of everyone!

This definitely made everyone present have not thought of it!
Especially the people under the city tower!

They were originally honest and responsible people, but it was really hard for them to live. When they were desperate, they were secretly incited and used by the aristocratic families, and they all thought that the emperor Li Shimin was an immediate emperor!

Apart from knowing how to fight and kill, they are unable to govern the country at all, and they don't know the sufferings of the people!
That's why those refugees broke out in despair.

But now it seems that Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, does not seem to be like this.

Dare to confess the crime to himself in public.

No matter how you look at it, he is not a faint king who does not care about people's livelihood!

Seeing the people in the city, they have gradually calmed down.

Thousands of pairs of eyes were all staring at Li Shimin above Mingde Gate.

"The Sword of Heaven is here!"

I saw Li Shimin holding the Son of Heaven sword in his hand and holding it high above his head, so that tens of thousands of people could see clearly.

There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd.

"Emperor Sword?"

"It's really the Son of Heaven Sword!"

"With the sword of the Son of Heaven in your hand, you will be the Son of Heaven!"

"With the Son of Heaven sword, doesn't that mean that the throne is really orthodox?!"

.........

As soon as the Son of Heaven Sword came out, the resentment and misunderstanding of Li Shimin among the refugees decreased a bit.

In the eyes of everyone, Li Shimin continued to shout loudly.

"Today, in the name of the Son of Heaven, I promise you all!"

"Today, I, Li Shimin, if I can't pay back everyone's food and clothing, the Emperor Sword will kill me!"

"The sun, the moon, and the sky, we all learn from each other!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole city boiled instantly!
People originally thought that Li Shimin's succession was to kill his brother and seize the throne, which was not orthodox at all.

However, what I saw with my own eyes today, Li Shimin has the sword of the emperor in his hand!
Who dares not obey the destiny?

He, Li Shimin, is already orthodox!
Moreover, Li Shimin also swore with this Tianzi sword that he would give the big guy an explanation, which made the refugees feel that the emperor is wise!

Willing to do this for the people, if Li Shimin is not orthodox, then who is still orthodox?
As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, among the civil and military officials behind him, those officials from the aristocratic families looked at each other, revealing secret smiles of successful tricks.

"No matter how powerful the emperor is, he still has to fill the hungry bellies of these tens of thousands!"

"When you beg us, that's the time for you to give up your authority obediently!"

The officials of these aristocratic families have already made preparations in their hearts.

Cui Guangquan, the head of the Qinghe Cui clan, immediately took the lead to preempt Li Shimin.

Seeing Cui Guangquan put on a look of sincerity and fear, he cupped his hands and said to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, no way! Where did we get the food to help the victims!"

The officials of the other aristocratic families followed closely behind, admonishing them one by one.

"Your Majesty, a gentleman's words are hard to follow, so you can't talk nonsense."

"The Son of Heaven is no joke, don't swear like this! Please take it back, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please think again!"

……

Everyone said something to each other, seemingly sad, worried that the emperor Li Shimin would easily make an oath that could not be fulfilled.

In fact, they just want to make Li Shimin ride a tiger.

How ironic it is for a dignified son of heaven to make an empty oath in front of all people!

These aristocratic families just want to make Li Shimin's emperor's majesty disgraced.

"Zhuqing, are you really trying to persuade me?"

Li Shimin turned around and asked in a very cold tone.

Cui Lu, Li Zheng, and other officials from various clans felt secretly relieved, thinking that what they said just now had hit Li Shimin's vitals.

"Your Majesty, there is really no food in the treasury and official warehouses. Why don't you hurry up and take it back?" said Li Yuankai from the Li family in Longxi.

Make an oath on the front foot, and take back your life on the back foot!

Then Li Shimin's face will be worthless immediately.

"Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven Sword is very important, and you must not make any oaths indiscriminately." Cui Guangxian also followed suit.

"Yes, Your Majesty, think twice!"

"Your Majesty, don't be arrogant!"

Everyone persuaded one after another, these people all know what this Tianzi sword means!
The Emperor's Sword that proves the destiny of destiny!
If the emperor Li Shimin made a casual promise and then backed out, wouldn't it mean that the reputation of Tianzijian is just that?
Then it can be explained that Li Shimin has mastered the Son of Heaven Sword, which means nothing.

Moreover, the aristocratic families will make use of it again!
At that time, everyone in the world will know that this Li Shimin does not keep his promise at all, and even with the blessing of the Son of Heaven Sword, he is still absolutely unorthodox.

"Father, you can't do this!" At this moment, a voice sounded.

It was Prince Li Chengqian!
Seeing that it was his own son, Li Shimin's face softened a little: "Your Majesty, I have already made a decision, and I don't allow you to refute it!"

"Father, we can't make promises casually. What if something happens in the future?" Li Chengqian hurriedly explained.

What he meant was that he hoped that Li Shimin could think carefully before acting. After all, this matter was unusual, and if something happened, it would be no joke!
"I am free to advocate this matter, and there will be absolutely no problems!" Li Shimin said with a majestic expression.

Li Shimin turned around again, looked at the officials of the aristocratic families around him, and sneered secretly in his heart.

Li Shimin already knew the faces of the group of people around him.

Li Shimin could see through their thoughts at a glance for the hypocrisy and advice of these aristocratic officials.

How can there be any sincerity for the king, for the common people, all for the self-interest of the clan.

People, they can oppress them wantonly.

Now even the emperor, they have to figure it out.

In addition to these officials from aristocratic families, there were other officials who followed suit, which made Li Shimin feel sad and regretful.

For example, Hou Junji and others, along with the officials of the aristocratic family, echoed the advice!
A burst of remorse welled up in Li Shimin's heart.

"For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, and for the stability of the country, I have tolerated concessions again and again, just in exchange for your understanding of the overall situation!"

"However, looking at it now, what has been exchanged!"

"My sincerity is enough for you to be more ambitious and unscrupulous!"

"Today, at the Mingde Gate, I will let the common people, see what kind of face you, aristocratic families, have!"

As soon as he thought of this, Li Shimin immediately restrained his mind, and waved the Tianzi sword in his hand to the people in the city.

"Today's oath, I will never go back on my word!"
