I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Before, Li Shimin thought it was done by a certain family or even several of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs. After all, in his opinion, this group of people had no awe of the imperial court at all, and they even wished that the people's grievances would prevent him from stepping down. These people have been operating in the local area for many years, and things like covering up the traces of a few caravans can't be easier.

But in the end, Wu Xing Qiwang was very honest this time, but the saint who was hiding in Shandong jumped out.

This is really unexpected!

Zhang Nuo didn't speak because he was completely dumbfounded. Fuck, there was indeed a drought this year in history, and the roads in Hebei were indeed quite serious, but he didn't know whether the old Kong family was involved in it or not. what.

So he couldn't figure out whether it was the flapping of his butterfly's wings or it happened in history, or it was just because there was no telegram and a thorough investigation that he didn't find it.

However, he is very clear about one thing, that is, regardless of the reputation of the old Confucian family, such as the master of Confucianism and the family of saints, in fact, these children are no different from the children of wealthy families in those places. Few, not to mention extravagance and extreme desire, but in fact, few of the children of the old Confucius family are academically famous.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo really didn't have a good impression of this family, at least in his impression that the old Kong family seemed to be the first to kneel down during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

If Zhang Nuo just lamented that he had discovered the true face hidden by the old Kong family, then Li Shimin really gritted his teeth.

Zhang Nuo didn't know, but in fact, the close ministers, especially the old courtiers from the Qin Palace knew very well that the old Kong family had always looked down on the present Majesty.

When Lao Li was the King of Qin, the old Confucius family said that the King Qin was too murderous to be an emperor. He said that at that time, Lao Li wished to use a knife to kill those bastards. Probably not bloody hands.

Afterwards, Lao Li finally snatched the throne by himself, and he was also slandering nonsense about being in an improper position. He didn't find any particularly good excuses, Li Shimin definitely ordered the old Kong's family to be ransacked and exterminated early.

But he never calculated that the old Confucian family was so arrogant. To put it bluntly, rebellion is better than collusion with foreigners.

The so-called literati's character and the so-called sage's family seem to be all nonsense, and in the end they are no match for the temptation of yellow and white things. Perhaps in the eyes of the old Kong family, even if Li Shimin knows about this, as long as the old Kong family knows about it, then as long as the old Confucius It's fine if the clothes are soft.

Not to mention that Li Shimin may not be able to find out, so why not do it, the benefits here are not ordinary, after all, the funds for purchasing grain are all from Tubo and Turks, and they must have paid for it. Benefits come.

And the purchased grain can be sold again, even to Turks and Tubo, not to mention the price, how much is it inside and out.

However, all of this is based on one premise, that is, Li Shimin did not find out about this matter, or even if it was found out, Li Shimin was not prepared to make a big move against the old Kong family.

But Li Shimin will really be indifferent to the old Kong family. Does Li Shimin really have the guts to kill people?

Chapter 647 Li Shimin's Murderous Intent

On the surface, Li Shimin's murderous intentions were indeed covered up very well. Whether it was Li Jiancheng's loyal subordinate Wei Zheng or Li Yuan's old courtiers, Li Shimin did not kill.

Even if Pei Ji, who was Li Shimin's confidant Liu Wenjing, was killed, Li Shimin let Li Yuan off for the sake of Li Yuan's face, and of course he didn't let him continue to hang out in the court.

But just like that, many people outside are already lamenting Li Shimin's generosity.

But in fact, is Li Shimin really not serious about killing?

Shit!

People really close to Li Shimin like Zhang Nuo and Empress Changsun knew that Li Shimin cursed after drinking, and even went out to kill people with a knife when he was drunk, and they saw it not once or twice.

Especially in front of Zhang Nuo, Li Shimin completely let go of his emperor airs, and directly admitted many times that he planned to cut down the old Pei family himself.

So, it's not that Lao Li has no intention to kill, let alone that he has no guts to kill. He just has scruples. After all, if a general who can lead an army to conquer the great Tang Dynasty has no murderous intent, how can he deter those arrogant soldiers? Titans?

So when Zhang Nuo heard Lao Li's gnashing of teeth, he really didn't show any surprise at all!

"Brother, how do you think we're going to kill those rotten Confucians? I'm going to kill them all at once!"

Zhang Nuo loosened the bun on his head casually. It's really painful to grow hair on this hot day. It's okay to have an air conditioner, but it's too hot without an air conditioner. He fanned himself while talking nonsense. replied,

"The old Confucian family is easy to solve, but what do you plan to do with Turks and Tubo? Those two are the troublesome things. We originally planned to attack Turks next year!"

Li Shimin fell silent when he heard this, and first waved his hand to let the Baiqisi spy, who was already sweating like rain, go out first, and then the spy probably knelt down after listening to it, damn it, two conspirators are hiding here He wants to kill the whole family and go to war with two countries. Is this kind of secret he can listen to?

Baiqisi's spies are naturally trustworthy, but it is precisely because they have been exposed to too many secrets that they are very clear about it. The more they know, the faster they die, especially things that they should not know. After knowing it, I wish I could forget it on the spot.

After Baiqisi's spies went out, Li Shimin stared blankly at Zhang Nuo and asked directly,

"Then if we go to war directly this year, are we sure?"

"Fight Turks or fight Tubo, or both fight together?"

"Let's fight the Turks. As long as the Tubo side is on guard, although we can't attack, they can't come down either!"

"If you just fight Turkic, you can fight naturally, but it's just a bit difficult, it's not a big problem!"

"Really?"

"More real than real gold!"

The answers of both of them were very straightforward, without the usual detours between monarchs and ministers, just the naked idea of ​​killing Turks, but the two of them were very used to it.

They have always been like this. They talk about small things well and seriously, but they finish talking about big things in a few words, but in fact, to put it bluntly, this is all a manifestation of strength. You only need to consider whether it is worth it or not, and whether the cost is high, and you don't have to think about whether you can win or not.

In fact, the Turks are easy to say, and Tubo is not too troublesome. In other words, after the rapid development of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has already distanced itself from other countries.

In the past, it was only a country on one level, but the strength of the country was a little different, but now it has gradually become a country in two dimensions.

After all, one is about to enter the period of the rapid industrial revolution, and the other has just left slash-and-burn farming not long ago. It is simply the crushing of primitive people by modern people.

You know, although Zhang Nuo focused on the navy after arriving in Pyongyang, the sergeant training under his hands has never stopped, and they don't even need Zhang Nuo's supervision. The killer who is full of bowls, yelling and saying that he wants to cut down the Turks and kill Tubo, he practices like something every day.

In fact, this group of sergeants knew very well that they actually had the opportunity to fight with Zhang Nuo in the past few years. After all, Zhang Nuo did not hide it from them. The places they will fight in the future are places where Shan Gao Lu Yuan needs the navy to fight. Even if it is accompanied by the navy, there will not be many, it will only be the elite among the elite.

And these people are generally older, and they came out to fight for wealth after retiring from the army. Now they are just making a last-ditch fight while their hands and feet are still nimble.

Therefore, without Zhang Nuo's instructions at all, led by Qin Qiong and Zhang Liang, and assisted by a group of second-generation soldiers, they silently trained nearly [-] cavalry in Korea without saying hello to Zhang Nuo.

The horses and the like, except for the batch of retired war horses that had been re-shoeed from the pass, the others were all obtained from the Koryo Peninsula.

None of them expected that there are still many high-quality horse breeds and many high-quality horse farms here.

Later, even after Zhang Nuo knew about it, he just nodded, and then he didn't care, and directly allocated a set of armor to the man. This is not an ordinary armor, but a full-coverage armor that all men and horses have.

These armors are all dragon scale armors, which are not only light, but also have a very good protective ability, not to mention that they are covered by people and horses.

If it was in the past, these armors would have taken an empire to accumulate for many years, and even had to increase taxes or something, but when they arrived at Zhang Nuo, they directly allocated a new production workshop and expanded production exclusively for the cavalry side. Feeling nothing.

Li Shimin naturally knew about this, and he was very supportive, after all, the pawns in Zhang Nuo's hands were no different from those in his hands!

It is precisely because of this that neither Li Shimin nor Zhang Nuo has any resistance to fighting Turks and Tubo. They are determined to fight anyway, and various preparations have been made. It is just a matter of time. Still worried about the wool.

However, after discussing such a major national war-level event as the Turkic War, Li Shimin's face not only did not relax, but became more serious. He hesitated for a while and looked at Zhang Nuo and asked,

"Brother, if I want to kill that family, do you think I can do it?"

Zhang Nuo glanced at Li Shimin and asked casually,

"Really want to kill?"

"I really want to!"

"Then kill it, what a big deal, are you still afraid that you won't be able to beat it? Or I'll kill it for you!"

Chapter 648 Zhang Nuo Keeps His Word

Li Shimin looked at Zhang Nuo in a daze for a long time without speaking.

He really didn't expect Zhang Nuo to say such a thing!

What does it mean to kill for him?

That is, Zhang Nuo sent his cronies to directly kill the door, and closed the door to copy and kill the whole family!

This kind of thing is not a glorious thing, but it is not something unacceptable. To be honest, when Lao Li was not the emperor, when the commanding army was facing opponents outside, he had given such orders more than once or twice. .

But this time it's different, it's the old Kong's family, the reputation and status, although Lao Li himself keeps saying that he doesn't care, but who can really not care?

But Zhang Nuo just said it so lightly, that he was able to draw people and kill them directly. This is really helping him to take the blame.

Although I know that Zhang Nuo will definitely not pull people to do it with great fanfare, there is no impenetrable wall in this world. If it is finally exposed, His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty actually wiped out the descendants of the saints. This reputation will probably be infamous forever up.

And let’s not talk about the future, let’s just say that almost everyone in the current court is considered to be Confucian children. If the news spread that the old Confucius family was destroyed by Zhang Nuo, it would almost completely eliminate Zhang Nuo’s hope of being in the court in the future. .

After all, no one is willing to work with such a person who is full of the blood of the patriarch's family.

But Zhang Nuo just said that!

Li Shimin originally planned to refuse. After all, he has more people who can do dirty work than Zhang Nuo. He knows Zhang Nuo's team better than Zhang Nuo. After all, Zhang Nuo is serious about power. don't care.

So Li Shimin knows better than Zhang Nuo himself which batch of troops he will transfer to work!

But before he could open his mouth, Zhang Nuo spoke first.

"Old Li, don't think too much. If you want to fight the Turks, the [-] cavalry from my side must be transferred back. On the way back, the front army, the middle army, and the rear army drove such a long distance day and night. It's normal for a team of hundreds of people to get lost for a few days!"

"As for the old Kong's family raising food for the Turks, they failed to send it out, and the Turkic Jieli Khan sent people thousands of miles to raid and slaughter the old Kong's family in a rage. Then the Tang Dynasty will naturally take revenge. right!"

Li Shimin was completely stunned, how could he still play like this?

This is simply saying that I want to kill the old Kong's family along the way. It's just a prevarication to the Turks, but all fools know that Li Jing is now leading troops to guard the border. Rushing all the way into the inland Shandong Road to kill the whole family?

I don’t even know if this can fool a fool, it’s like throwing a fig leaf for myself, I didn’t even think about covering up anything, instead I threw a big black pot on Xieli, saying it was you You, I'm going to use this reason to beat you up, this is so overbearing to the extreme, okay?

How did brother Zhang Nuo come up with this kind of hooligan routine?

But when he asked this question, Zhang Nuo curled his lips indifferently, but didn't answer directly.

What can he answer? Could it be that when he told Lao Li later generations, a certain beautiful country just randomly found something in your house that threatened me, and then went in and grabbed the person and beat him up, and finally hanged the monarch to death, and then Just to tell everyone, hehe, sorry, I made a mistake, it turns out that his family doesn’t have it!

It's all over, the whole country has been torn apart, the people are dying, the monarch is dead, and in the end it is said that if you make a mistake, you will be fine. What is the basis for this?

One is shameless, no one can beat me anyway, so as long as I have a trick to do it, even if you all know it is fake.

However, with such a reason, I can do it. As for the fact that there is no such reason later, so what?

The opposite country is gone, the monarch is gone, who will come to avenge this country that wants nothing?

In contrast, Zhang Nuo still felt that he was already very moral. After all, he really had a reason to do it, and he just borrowed the name of other people. At worst, he didn’t kill Jie Li when he was fighting the Turks, and he just captured him alive. Let him live another year or two if he is killed again in a year or two.

Seeing that Zhang Nuo didn't say anything, Li Shimin didn't bother to ask. Since Zhang Nuo already had an idea, he didn't need to say anything more. We are brothers, and the younger brother has done this for his big brother. Then in the future, if there is really a troll or something who dares to say weird things to his brother, hehe, then Li Shimin doesn't mind raising a butcher's knife to kill a few rotten scholars.

Therefore, the ending of the old Kong family has been settled in this way. Whether you are a powerful local or a thousand-year-old family, no matter how famous the servants are, hundreds of people have spent half their lives on the battlefield before rushing forward. Make it clean and leave no chicken or dog behind.

However, Li Shimin needs to provide some intelligence support, otherwise there is no idea how many people are there, especially the main characters, so none of them can be let go.

Zhang Nuo suddenly remembered an online novel he had read, and there was a line in it that seemed very compelling,

"To be a man, you have to be trustworthy. If you say kill your whole family, you will kill your whole family! My name is Su Xin, and I keep my word."

Zhang Nuo feels that although he is not a villain system, let alone a villain, the villains of the National People's Congress know that they keep their promises, so he can't fall behind too much, so let's start with the old Kong's family and say kill his whole family , then it must be killed!

Although Li Shimin didn't quite agree with Zhang Nuo's so-called keeping his word, he still said with a constipated face, and told someone to prepare the information and send it to Zhang Nuo later.

Zhang Nuo nodded, turned around, and was about to leave. Since he was preparing to fight the Turks, he had to call in troops from Korea. As the governor of Korea, he had to arrange a lot of things, especially in the middle of the deployment. Private work, you have to stick to your own people to do it well.

Taking the materials that Li Shimin had prepared a long time ago, Zhang Nuo curled his lips and got in the car directly to go home.

Cao Xing had been waiting in the palace. After seeing Zhang Nuo sitting still, he drove slowly and prepared to leave the palace.

Cao Xing has been driving for a few months, and after a lot of practice, he really drives well. He looks like a professional driver of later generations.

But Zhang Nuo's words almost made him tremble and drive the car into the ditch.

"Old Cao, take a trip to Koryo, bring back all our cavalry, and prepare to fight the Turks. In addition, according to this roster, I will slaughter Lao Kong's family along the way!"

Chapter 649 Cao Xing was almost scared to death

Cao Xing was in a hurry to trample the car to death before it drove into the ditch, and then ignored the car blocking the road, turned his head and looked at Zhang Nuo nervously,

"Your Highness, what did you just say?"

Zhang Nuo almost fell headfirst on the seat in front of him just now, when he heard Cao Xing's question, he slapped Cao Xing on the head without saying a word.

"Your uncle, don't you want to be so surprised! Do you really have to kill me to make you feel comfortable!"

Zhang Nuo's slap was so strong that Cao Xing almost fainted from the slap, but even if he didn't faint, he was already staring at him.

However, after the slap, he slowed down a bit, scratched his head casually, and didn't pay attention to the slap just now, but continued to ask nervously,

"Your Highness, this subordinate accepts the punishment, but is what you just said true?"

Looking at Cao Xing's bear, Zhang Nuo felt that the slap just now was for nothing, so he sighed and said,

"Of course it's true. I'm full to play this kind of joke with you?"

"You can leave in a while, and take my tiger talisman and seal letter directly back to Pyongyang City by sea. I will also send a telegram to Lao Qin. After all, he has to prepare in advance!"

"But your most important task is to slaughter the old Kong's family on the way back. The kind that spares no chickens and dogs, and the kind that has to be blamed on Turks. Can you do it?"

When Cao Xing heard Zhang Nuo's words, he swallowed hard, hesitated, then gritted his teeth and nodded, saying,

"Your Highness, we will do whatever you say, and we will definitely do it for you, and we will never leave behind any chicken or dog!"

Zhang Nuo looked at Cao Xing and nodded in agreement, a smile appeared on his face, and he slapped Cao Xing on the head, and then said with a smile,
