Chapter 168: Don't force him to lift the table
Li Shimin was also helpless. By looking at the court, he could understand that the aristocratic families were intricate.
Fang Xuanling's wife, Fanyang Lu family, Cheng Yaojin's wife, Qinghe Cui family, Wei Zheng's wife, Hedong Pei family...
Not to mention those who came from aristocratic families, basically all the important officials came from these aristocratic families.
There are very few people from poor families, and they are all insignificant small officials.
Now that the inscription is born, these families cannot do anything crazy to protect themselves?
He said he would not deal with aristocratic families. Will these people believe it?
Obviously not. How could all families who have experienced hundreds of years of ups and downs and dynasties believe in the emperor?
So, Li Shimin issued an order, and Han Meng was so mean to deceive the public, hiding stone tablets to commit fraud, pretending to be a god, taking away the princess's consort, and abolishing the matter of Princess Shang.
Moreover, capture Han Meng immediately. If there is any resistance, kill him or her!
This is the emperor, and he is ruthless in turning against each other. Therefore, don’t talk about feelings with the emperor, it’s nonsense.
Li Shimin's compromise brought about the silence of the aristocratic families. Of course, this was only short-lived, but at least it would not turn against each other directly.
Everyone was as strife in secret as before, and kept harmony on the outside because the aristocratic families didn't want to really break the verge of death.
No one wants to destroy the good situation in front of him until he is desperate.
When the war is in progress, no one can have a good time.
Will Li Shimin be sad because of the death of Han Meng?
Of course not. How could anyone who can kill his own brothers and who can even kill his son even if he rebelled, be sad because of a person like Han Meng.
At most, it was a pity that I wanted to use it to deal with the aristocratic families, but I didn't expect that I was forced to death by the aristocratic families in the end.
But just as Li Shimin let go, the ministers of the aristocratic families were secretly happy.
Outside the Tai Chi Hall, Princess Changle broke in directly, and the guards and eunuchs who were guarding the hall gate did not dare to stop them.
The Taiji Palace was in full swing, and all the civil and military officials were clamoring to kill Han Meng. Princess Changle didn't know how she came. So she came.
Because this time I came back from Hanjiazhuang, I received Han Meng's instructions.
Seeing Princess Changle's cold face, step by step through the hall and the ministers, everyone became quiet and quickly made way.
At this moment, Princess Changle had a strong sense of confidence, like a fairy who was above, looking down on all living beings.
"My daughter has met her father."
When he arrived at the steps of His Highness, Princess Changle saluted for her blessing.
Li Shimin kept watching Princess Changle from far to near, and also saw the coldness on her daughter's face, but compared to the past, she no longer had any worries and panic.
"Lizhi, Han Meng's thing... I'm sorry for you..."
Li Shimin felt that he had owed Han Meng to his daughter and said in an apology tone. He knew why Lizhi came, but he was helpless in the reality.
"Father, all the important officials in the court, Han Meng once said, "Don't force him to overturn the table. At first I didn't understand, but now I understand, you are forcing him to die together."
He also said that in fact, he really doesn't want to overturn the table. He has no ambitions. He just wants to live a leisurely life, develop an economy, and benefit the people of the Tang Dynasty."
When Princess Changle said this, some ministers sneered.
I even lifted the table and died together. Do I have this strength?
Flip the table with the emperor?
Flip the table with our family?
Is Han Meng too confident?
Even Li Shimin found it funny. Han Meng really took himself seriously.
Princess Changle also saw everyone's expressions, especially her uncle Changsun Wuji. Her sarcastic expression was beyond words and she did not hide anything.
And she also looked like she was hated and did not hide it.
But she didn't care about these things and continued, "I returned to the palace from Hanjiazhuang, and Han Meng gave me something, saying that if one day, the aristocratic family forces the emperor to kill him, they will take it out."
This thing was invented by him, called Armor-breaking Sky Thunder. After a long period of experiments, it was finally developed.
He made a lot of this thing, and it was hidden in case of accidents."
Speaking of this, Princess Changle paused again, and smiled, before saying: "Yes, you are not wrong. The armor-breaking sky thunder is Han Meng's trump card to lift the table.
If you don't believe it, find an open area and surround it with iron armor. I'll try it for you..."
In the hall, the ministers were half-believing and half-doubted, and Li Shimin was also quite curious, but Princess Changle came alone and did not bring any armor-breaking thunder.
I think it was because I put it outside, and looking at Princess Changle's confident expression was not a fake.
For a moment, everyone wanted to see why Han Meng turned over the table with them?
"Okay, that beauty makes people bring the sky thunder. Let's go to the Forbidden Garden to see how powerful this thing is."
Li Shimin spoke. Since his daughter said so and she was so confident, let’s take a look. Han Meng has always been full of fantasy ideas.
It is not surprising that he can produce something strange, but he doesn't know what it is, which can give him such confidence.
The armor-breaking sky thunder is quite majestic.
If he can intimidate the aristocratic families, it would be best, so he doesn't have to kill Han Meng.
Of course, it can shock the aristocratic families and also shock him, so this thing must be found to be handed over by Han Meng.
In this way, he will no longer be controlled by these aristocratic families.
With Li Shimin's words, the ministers began to leave the hall. Li Shimin was in front and Princess Changle was with her side. Wang De was called to her by Princess Changle and said a few words.
Then, Wang De hurriedly left to get the armor-breaking thunder.
"Li Junxian, Liu Renyuan, you go find some armor and get the strongest one."
Princess Changle said to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin immediately ordered Li Junxian to Liu Renyuan and ask them to make arrangements quickly.
Li Jing was quite curious at this moment. As for armor-breaking sky thunder, it should be seen from the name that it is a very powerful weapon.
He is known as the number one in the military and a god of war. Of course, he is interested in this weapon and can also imagine that if he is really as powerful as the princess said, the war pattern will change in the future.
There are many people who think the same as Li Jing, including those aristocratic families.
Changsun Wuji had a gloomy face, and some officials from aristocratic families also had their expressions that were unstable. No one wanted Han Meng to turn the tables.
Li Shimin even felt relieved, but now there are troubles.
At the same time, they were also worried that the armor-breaking sky thunder would really make everyone afraid. Then, will their aristocratic family be suppressed by Han Meng in the future?
Han Meng should not be underestimated!
He had already made arrangements and even made a table-turning thing. What could he die with them?
The ministers were complicated and half-believing and half-doubted. Soon, Wang De came back, followed by two little eunuchs, carrying a wooden box with a lock on it.
