Hou Junji's Fear, Doomsday!
Three days ago.
Chang 'an, the capital of the Tang Empire.
In the imperial garden of the imperial palace.
Li Shi Min was sitting in a pavilion in the imperial garden, admiring the peach blossoms and winter flowers that bloomed in the spring.
He was holding a jug of fine wine from the vassal country outside the Great Wall. As he drank happily, he said in a relaxed and happy manner,"Hou Junji and his son have been gone for many days.”
Gao Shilian stroked his beard and said with a smile,""According to the speed of the refugees from all over the world, the first large group of refugees should be entering Jiannan Road in two to three days. They should also be entering their attack range. Therefore, if nothing goes wrong, Hou Liang will soon pretend to be a mountain bandit and attack those refugees to vent His Majesty's anger.”
"Do you want to vent your anger?"
Li Shi Min took a sip of the wine, his expression was a bit dark and cold as he said,"A few lowly peasants, ant-like guys, actually dared to force me to lower my head, making me lower my head to Li Ke, this unfilial son, one after another. They even wanted to punish the meritorious officials, causing my image in the hearts of the officials to change greatly, causing the people of the court to be in panic. This is simply a sin that cannot be avoided!”
"I can't catch this unfilial son Li Ke, I can't cut him into pieces, but these refugees…do they really think I can't do anything to them? I am the Emperor. Whoever I want to die will die. If they dare to betray me, then don't blame me for being ruthless. They asked for it!”
Li Shi Min put down the wine pot and said indifferently,"How many refugees will be killed this time?”
Gao Shilian thought for a moment and said,""Hou Junji was demoted because of these refugees. Hou Liang is a filial son, so he must be very angry at these refugees. This lowly official estimates that if Hou Liang makes a move, at least forty to fifty thousand lives will be left behind.”
"Forty to fifty thousand?"
Li Shi Min shook his head." It's not enough. You've trampled on my dignity. How can you only kill 40,000 to 50,000 people?!"”
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Gao Shilian was shocked and couldn't help but look at Li Shimin.
Li Shiming stood up and walked to the peach tree. He picked a peach blossom and smelled it.
He smiled and said," Anyway, by then, everyone will know that these Mountain Bandits are Li Ke's men. It was Li Ke who wanted to kill them…So, the more people die, the more Li Ke's reputation will be ruined. The people will be more angry and resentful towards him. He…will really become a notorious rat, and everyone will want to beat him up.”
"Doesn't he want the people's hearts? I will completely stop him in the hearts of the people that he needs the most. I want him to feel true despair!”
Li Shiming threw down the peach blossom in his hand and suddenly stepped on it fiercely. He said,"Send a secret decree to Hou Junji and his son. Kill as many as they can. It just so happens that food is scarce, and the fewer refugees there are, the less pressure the Imperial Court will have. Their deaths are for the sake of more lives, so they…should thank Us. We gave them a chance to be noble.”
"It's not easy to be noble for once in one's life. They really should thank me…"
After hearing Li Shiming's words, Gao Shilian couldn't help but feel terrified even though he was the one who had come up with the two vicious schemes. Li Shiming was much more vicious than him.
The older the ginger, the spicier it was. Li Shiming was obviously spicier!
However, when Li Shiming said these words, he still looked like a saint who was bemoaning the state of the universe. All of this made Gao Shilian respect Li Shiming even more.
The Emperor's Heart was unpredictable!
…………
He turned back to Hou Junji's army.
Hou Liang had sent a message, so Hou Junji wasn't in a hurry to act. Moreover, Li Shimin's secret edict had already been sent over and was currently with Hou Liang, so Hou Junji wasn't in a hurry. As long as the refugees weren't completely wiped out, it would be fine as long as someone could spread the news.
As for how many people died, the more the better.
In ancient times, Han Xin recruited more soldiers, the better. Now Hou and his son kill more people, the better.
Hou Junji couldn't help but sigh in admiration."I am on the same level as Han Xin!”
Clang! Clang!
Just as Hou Junji was comparing himself to Han Xin, a sudden noise rang out.
This sound was like the rolling of a rock.
Hou Junji subconsciously followed the voice and looked up at the walls.
" What?!"
A cry of surprise suddenly sounded.
Hou Junji's black face was suddenly filled with shock.
His eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost. His eyeballs were about to pop out.
"Enemy attack! Be careful-"
Hou Junji bellowed.
Above their heads, countless boulders were rapidly falling.
Hou Junji had also spotted a shadowy figure on the summit.
"How is that possible? Who were those people? Why would someone ambush us here?"
Hou Junji shouted in fright.
The other soldiers also noticed the falling boulders above their heads. For a moment, all kinds of exclamations could be heard.
However, it was already too late when they realized it. The speed at which the boulder fell far exceeded their speed of escape. Moreover, they did not expect that there would be an ambush here at all. They did not have any vigilance at all, so when the sudden attack occurred, they did not have time to react.
The result was no surprise.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Ah!"
"Help!"
The huge rock fell rapidly and immediately flattened the soldiers like ants.
Some of the soldiers were directly smashed on the head, and their brains splattered everywhere.
Some of the soldiers were hit on their chests, and their chests instantly deflated. Soon, they were silent.
This huge falling rock was like the scythe of the Grim Reaper. In just a moment, it had taken the lives of thousands of people.
And this was just the beginning.
Just as Hou Junji and the others thought the crisis was over, they suddenly heard whooshing sounds.
They raised their heads and looked in the direction of the voice. Then, everyone…revealed a look of complete despair.
Above their heads, there was a dense rain of arrows that rained down like a storm. They had nowhere to hide…
Li Ke stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the hellish scene below. He suddenly turned around and said,"When this king was framed, Hou Junji was the one who jumped the most. Reciprocity is a good habit, so Hell…this king personally sent him there…"
