The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 654
After Sun Wei led the people into the inner room, he said to the person in the inner room with a flattering face: "General Tang, we have already made a decision. From now on, I am willing to follow the lead of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"What the general wants to hear is everyone's answer, not your own, which represents everyone's answer. Because you, Sun Wei, are not worthy." The man said to Sun Wei mercilessly.

If someone else said that, I'm afraid Sun Wei would have turned his back on him long ago.But now, even though he was completely unwilling, he forced a smile on his face.

Afterwards, everyone expressed their willingness to follow His Royal Highness the lead.Even if His Royal Highness told them to die, they would never hesitate!

"Then if His Highness the Crown Prince asks you to collude with foreigners and harm the people of our Youzhou. What do you think you should do?" The man continued to ask.

"As long as His Royal Highness orders, I, Sun Wei, will never turn back. Because I, Sun Wei, only know that I should obey the orders of the crown prince. As for why, Sun Wei will never ask." Sun Wei said, patting his chest.

But this time he learned how to be good, and didn't care that he replaced everyone.Instead, he only expressed his own thoughts.

"Are you all as Patriarch Sun thought?" The man glanced at everyone and asked, his eyes were like a steel knife, making it difficult for everyone to even breathe.

"Although I don't think it's right to do this, since I entrust my life to His Royal Highness, I can only follow His Royal Highness's arrangement." Zhou Tian said after thinking about it.

Afterwards, everyone stated their positions again. Of course, everyone said the same thing.That is, I will absolutely support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince without hesitation.

"In this case, then you should sign your name on this name card. Remember to write your surname and family clearly. You should also put a mark on it." The person put a name card, After handing it over to everyone, he said.

Sun Wei was the first to do so without hesitation, and wrote all the content as required.Then he passed the brush in his hand to the next person.In this way, not long after, everyone signed their names.

After the man received the name card, he said to everyone: "Now that the Khitan and Xi armies are approaching the city, what should we do then. This general will inform you again."

After the man finished speaking, he turned and left directly.And the crowd headed by Sun Wei hurriedly saluted and sent the man away respectfully.From beginning to end, they didn't even see each other's face clearly.

After sending that person away, Sun Qiang smiled and said to everyone: "The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun will be ours in the future. At that time, we will have five surnames and seven sects, so there may not be no chance."

……

"Your Highness, someone is asking to see you outside the mansion." Li Tianming came to Li Tai and said to Li Tai.

"Tell him to wait for me in the study, I'll be there right away." Although he didn't know who came, Li Tai still planned to meet him.

After all, not everyone dares to go directly to his own mansion to ask to see him.Since he dared to come, it showed that he was definitely not an ordinary person.

When Li Tai came to the study, the person who asked to see him had already been waiting in the study.However, it could be seen that he was very nervous.He didn't even take a sip of the tea that the servants brought for him.

He has been standing on the ground and wandering non-stop, and his head is covered with a veil.Covering his entire face tightly, he couldn't see his face clearly at all.

"It's you who want to see me. If you want to see me, why don't you show your true colors." Li Tai walked into the study and said to the man.

"Caomin Zhoutian, I have met His Royal Highness King Yan." The man knelt down and saluted Li Tai while taking off the veil from his head.

"Zhou Tian, ​​the Patriarch of the Zhou family in Youzhou, I don't know why he is dressed up like this today. Why did he come to see this king?" Li Tai asked.

"His Royal Highness Yan, Caomin is here to plead guilty. I also ask His Royal Highness Yan to give Caomin a death, but I hope that His Royal Highness can spare Caomin's family." Zhou Tian knelt on the ground and said to Li Tai.

"This king is not a cruel person who kills people casually. If you really committed an unforgivable crime, even if you don't come to plead guilty, this king will put you to death."

"But if you are innocent, how could this king want your life. So let's talk about it first." Li Tai shook his head and said.

"His Royal Highness Yan, a few days ago Sun Wei, the Patriarch of the Sun Family, approached the grass people and told them mysteriously. The time has come to bring down His Highness King Yan and return to the past."

"Caomin was fascinated by ghosts for a while, and he thought it was a good thing. So this morning, Caomin attended the party organized by Sun Wei..." Then this week, he told Li Tai what happened.

Li Tai nodded after hearing this and said: "Except for Fan Yang's Lu family, there are still people who are dissatisfied with this king. It seems that the blood of Fan Yang's Lu family has not let them see themselves clearly."

Hearing Li Tai's words, Zhou Tian was so frightened that he fell to his knees again.He heard that more than 1000 members of Fan Yang Lu's family were all beheaded by the Yalu River.Even the river water was turned red.

So he hastily kowtowed to Li Tai and said, "Please also ask His Royal Highness King Yan to let the Caomin family live. The Caomin is willing to hand over all the family property and this head."

Li Tai said with a smile: "This king is not someone who steals by chance. Your family business was passed down from your ancestors. How can this king take it for no reason?"

"In addition, you confessed to this king today, which means that you have already repented. Therefore, this king will give you a chance to redeem your sins."

Hearing that Li Tai was going to give himself a chance to redeem himself.This made Zhou Tian very happy, and hurriedly said: "Caomin is willing to do everything within his power to make His Royal Highness."

"However, the king is very curious now, what is the reason that made you give up suddenly. You chose to surrender to the king." Li Tai asked Zhou Tian.

Zhou Tian said to Li Tai without hesitation: "Reporting to His Highness King Yan, to tell you the truth, Cao Min also hopes that His Highness Yan King will leave Youzhou. Then Cao Min can take back the land that the Zhou family has inherited for a hundred years."

"But when my father was alive, he once said that no matter what you do, you must be worthy of your conscience. You can't do anything that hurts others and benefits yourself."

"So if His Highness the Crown Prince is just planning to unite with us to drive away His Highness King Yan, the Caomin may not appear here with His Royal Highness Yan. But let the Caomin communicate with foreign countries, and the Caomin is willing to die."

Hearing Zhou Tian's words, Li Tai nodded in satisfaction.Then he said: "A man can do something, but he can't. Today Patriarch Zhou, you made a wise choice."

"After you go back, pretend nothing happened and continue to follow their plan. Remember to fully cooperate, because only then will you be safe."

"His Royal Highness Yan, how should the grassroots pass the news to His Royal Highness Yan. After all, it may not be very convenient to see His Highness Yan like this." Zhou Tian said to Li Tai.

"When did this king ask you to pass on the news? This king just asks you to do what you want. If there is any special explanation at that time, this king will send someone to notify you." Li Tai said to Zhou Tian expressionlessly.
