Li Shimin's voice was cold, and there was endless killing intent in his words. The people surrounded seemed to see again the emperor who took the opportunity to kill.

The scene was quiet, and everyone in the square fell silent, not daring to say anything.

At this time, Pei Ji and Duan Lun calmed down.

If the emperor insisted on killing people, they would not be able to stop them, but when that time came, they would be given the best reason and opportunity.

Seemingly sensing the murderous aura coming from Li Shimin, Wei Zheng, who was closest to him, couldn't help frowning.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that the emperor really wanted to kill people, not as he thought, just using these means to scare them.

"Your Majesty..." Just as Li Shimin was about to speak again, Wei Zheng stood up without hesitation.

"The hoarding of books is likely to be done by those villains in the people. At most, these people can only commit the crime of negligence. If they really want to use the knife, it may cause chaos in the world!"

"Your Majesty, please suspend your anger and consider for the sake of the world of Tang Dynasty. These people must not be moved!"

to be frank.

According to Wei Zheng's most sincere thoughts, of course he would like to see the emperor take this opportunity to directly eradicate everyone involved in this matter.

In this way, the power of the aristocratic family will receive the most direct impact.

But the problem is... Having been able to dominate the court for so many years, these guys are definitely not idiots who only know how to eat. Even if they continue to investigate strictly, they will only be found out in the end.

How could they do something like buying out books at a high price?

At that time, the forces behind these people will seize the opportunity and give Li Shimin a notoriety for killing innocent people indiscriminately, even more brutal than Qin Shihuang.

That will bring unimaginable trouble to the court!
Seeing that Wei Zheng stood up without hesitation and pointed out his problems bluntly, Li Shimin's anger calmed down a little.

In fact, he is very clear in his heart, although these guys are doing everything possible to seize power from him, but the current imperial court really cannot do without them.

If they really killed them all directly, I am afraid that within a few days, the court will not be able to operate, not to mention that the major families behind these guys will desperately resist and take the opportunity to incite rebellion everywhere.

If there is no one in the imperial court, the world will be in chaos even faster. It is impossible to rely on those people who don't know a single word, right?
But even so, Li Shimin was not willing to let these guys go easily.

Now that they have finally seized the opportunity, these people must have a good taste of the pain.

Seemingly seeing Li Shimin's tough attitude, the laughter of Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji also began to grow louder.

"? Don't you think it's great to control the situation? Why are you so cowardly now? A man should stick to his point of view, and no matter what happens, he can't change it!" Cheng Yaojin gave Li a meaningful look. Result, said loudly.

"That's right. It's really embarrassing to pretend to celebrate your success when you take advantage of a little bit, and to run faster than anyone else when you encounter some problems!"

When he said this, Li Ji winked at the captain of the soldiers in the square.

"What are you still doing in a daze, didn't you hear what His Majesty said just now?"

As soon as his words fell, all the soldiers surrounding the officials of the aristocratic family took a step forward aggressively, holding the waist knives in their hands.

Everyone was walking at the same time, their murderous aura was undisguised, such a powerful oppressive force was simply not something people like the aristocratic family could bear.

Several people were frightened so weak that they slumped on the ground, with a large area under their bodies still wet, and they became incontinent immediately.

The key point is that there are not a few people like this. Don't look at them in Weifang at ordinary times. In front of ordinary people, they show the posture of superiors to their heart's content.

But when they are really facing life and death, they are more cowardly than anyone else.

People kept losing control of their bladder and bowels, making the middle of the square stinky to the sky.

Pei Ji and Duan Lun were the first to notice this anomaly, and covered their mouths and noses with frowns, but at this time, it was hard for them to say anything.

Looking at these murderous and covetous soldiers, even they felt shocked, not to mention these guys who are normally powerless.

but.

When they found out that these soldiers only took a step forward and didn't act next, both of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This is the worst possible outcome of the current situation. The emperor obviously doesn't want to do anything to them. At least he can save his life now.

As long as he can go back alive, it will be hard to say what will happen in the future. As the saying goes, keep the green hills, and you are not afraid of running out of firewood!

"If I knew today, why bother to do those shady things?" Changsun Wuji stood on the high steps, smelling the stench, and couldn't help covering his mouth and nose with his wide sleeves .

Usually he can be regarded as having some friendship with those people, but today he has gained a lot of knowledge.

I thought they were all hard bones, but in fact they were all soft eggs.

"Your Majesty's move to knock the mountain and shake the tiger is really clever. It will not let these people get caught, and it will also serve as a deterrent, so that these people will not dare to make mistakes!" Fang Xuanling also imitated Changsun Wuji, Covering his mouth and nose with his wide sleeves, he opened his mouth in a low voice.

"It's just that His Majesty thinks a lot. According to our thinking, these guys would have been headed and moved long ago. Why do we need to talk so much nonsense with them?" Cheng Yaojin muttered a little dissatisfied.

Except for Li Ji and a few generals, the others couldn't help but shook their heads with wry smiles.

If things were really that simple, there would be no need to spend so much trouble!

"For the sake of your contribution to the imperial court, the decapitation will be avoided, but everyone must remember to maintain awe of the imperial court and the world in their hearts!"

"I am definitely not the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and I will not indulge you in any way. As I said before, anyone who violates the laws of the country will be punished severely!" After a long silence, Li Shimin finally Said loudly.

As his words fell, the soldiers who surrounded the officials of the aristocratic family began to put away their weapons and took two steps back, and at the same time put away their murderous aura.

Until this time, everyone was truly relieved.No matter how embarrassed he is now, at least his fate is saved.

But Li Shimin's next words made many people's hearts fall to the bottom again.

"Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped..."
