In the blink of an eye, all the people outside Chang 'an City had fled.
Only the civil and military officials and the Tang army were left at the scene. Everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't know why Li Tai and the others had been captured.
Li Tai was being held down by a dozen strong men.
This was because he had resisted so many people and single-handedly massacred tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers. Therefore, Li Tai was treated with special treatment. The dozen strong men were afraid that they couldn't hold him down, so they used chains and shackles.
At this moment, Li Tai's heart was also exploding. He wanted to resist, but he really couldn't resist now. That was because he had already used up his 100-fold strength increase card.
There was only spiritual energy in his mind. Although spiritual energy could be exchanged for martial strength points, he could not use it to increase his strength. However, Li Tai felt that Spiritual Power was extremely useful, so he should keep it for now. There was no need to use it in a situation where life and death were not at stake.
"Why did you arrest me? Let me go!"
"I'm a hero!" Li Tai shouted."I've repelled the Turkic army of one hundred thousand." I'm a hero!"
Li Shi Min was speechless. Yes, Li Tai was indeed a hero.
At this moment, Fang Xuanling pointed at Li Tai and scolded,
"I told you not to be impulsive. In truth, the two sides had a tacit understanding. The Jieli Khagan did not dare to destroy the Tang, and our Great Tang could not destroy the Jieli Khagan. Why didn't you listen to my advice and went out to exterminate Khan Jieli?”
Li Tai was stunned." He has surrounded Chang 'an and killed so many people of the Tang Empire. Why can't he destroy them?"”
"There's still the Tuli Khagan on the grasslands," Fang Xuanling sighed. You have to think for the Great Tang. If we sue for peace today, our Great Tang will be able to develop once more. Although he felt terrible, his emotions were more important than the lives of the Great Tang and the rise and fall of the entire country. Was emotion important? Let alone the alliance today, if need be, we can even make His Majesty kneel down and apologize to Khan Jieli…"
Li Shiming's face darkened as he looked at Fang Xuanling coldly."Speak properly."
Fang Xuanling ignored Li Shimin, and he was telling the truth."Fourth Prince, think about it. After wiping out Jeli Khagan's one hundred thousand iron hooves, Tuli Khagan would probably be able to make a comeback in a year. At that time, even more people would die in the Great Tang. Who had the commoners offended? The commoners were all innocent. Why were they slaughtered by the Prairie people? Tell me!"
The scene instantly calmed down.
Everyone present was silent as they pondered this question.
Fang Xuanling continued to shout," Jieli Khan's goal this time is to invade Chang 'an. He didn't kill many civilians, but nearly 50,000 to 60,000 civilians died in the war. If Tuli Khagan came next year with his 200,000 troops, they would fight again. With the banner of 'revenge', the hundreds of thousands of citizens of the Great Tang would be exterminated. What did the commoners do wrong again? They just wanted to live. They only want to live in peace in the Great Tang. Should the Great Tang protect these civilians?”
"Then, for the sake of the lives of these hundreds of thousands of people, what harm is there in kneeling? Why can't we cut off our heads as ministers of cultural relics? Why did he create such a future trouble for the sake of a moment of pleasure and venting his anger?”
The crowd fell silent.
Li Shi Min pondered. Would he kneel? Would the emperor of the Great Tang kneel?
The answer was yes.
Li Shi Min even felt that if the lives of hundreds of thousands of people were placed in front of him, he would not only kneel down. In fact…even if he died, so what?
I am their Son of Heaven, and I was born to protect them.
It was during this moment of silence that Li Tai roared,"
"I've already considered all your concerns. I said it's fine, so it's fine.”
"From today onwards, the entire Great Tang is under the protection of me, Li Tai!”
Everyone was stunned and looked at the 13-year-old youth in surprise.
The entire Great Tang is under my protection?
Throughout the thousands of years of history, who had ever said such arrogant and domineering words?
For a moment, everyone was speechless and looked at Li Tai in a daze. He actually felt a strong confidence from him. It was hard to tell if it was true or not. This was not a lie at all...
