"The King of Shu, Li Ke, has become famous recently. He beheaded thousands of people in one night, and blood flowed like a river in Tianfu City. Just thinking about that scene made one tremble!”
"I've long said that a prince like the King of Shu, whose body is laced with the blood of the previous dynasty's royal family, is not safe. He should be stripped of his title as soon as possible and demoted to a commoner. In the end, no one dared to report! How was it now? Did something happen?"
"I heard that the little King of Shu has 8,000 iron pagodas under his command, and all of them are brave and good at fighting. Even the 20,000 soldiers of Heavenly City were utterly defeated!”
"Where did the King of Shu get these eight thousand Iron Stupas? Could he be from the Sui Dynasty?"
Upon hearing the words " Sui Ren ", everyone's eyes widened and they gasped.
If it was really the support of the Sui people, then it would be troublesome.
How many other forces did the remnants of the Sui Dynasty that could produce 8,000 Iron Stupas have hidden?
In the noisy discussion, there was finally something that Lee Taixu wanted to hear.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he opened his mouth and said in a clear voice,
"That's right. I gathered everyone here today to explain this matter!”
"After my close investigation, I finally found out!”
"That Shu King Li Ke is indeed in close contact with the remnants of the previous dynasty!”
"These 8,000 iron pagodas were provided by the remnants of the previous dynasty!”
Lee Taixu was naturally talking nonsense.
He had indeed sent people to investigate the 8,000 Iron Pagodas.
However, the results of the investigation shocked him.
This was because there was no evidence that the Eight Thousand Iron Pagoda was related to the Sui people.
In fact, these 8,000 iron pagodas did not even have any personal information.
The Imperial Court's Ministry of Revenue had registered all the citizens of the Great Tang.
Even if there were fish that slipped through the net, there were only a dozen people.
Thirteen million people were registered, and only a dozen people were not on the list.
This small gap was not a problem at all.
However, 8,000 Iron Pagodas were a total of 8,000 people.
None of the 8,000 people had a list.
It was as if these 8,000 people had descended from the sky.
This result shocked Lee Taixu.
There were only two possibilities for 8,000 people to not have a name list.
One was that the King of Shu had used an extremely brilliant method to erase the proof of the existence of these 8,000 people.
The other was that there were people from the King of Shu in the Ministry of Revenue!
Either way, it proved that the King of Shu was extraordinary.
Such a person must not be left alive.
Moreover, just killing them was not enough.
Li Taixu also wanted the King of Shu to lose his reputation and his reputation among the people to be even worse.
Because only in this way, no one would feel sorry for the death of the King of Shu.
After all, the death of a prince who had brought disaster to the world was not worth regretting.
He framed the King of Shu for colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty.
This was the first step of Lee Taixu's plan to ruin the reputation of the King of Shu.
Hearing Lee Taixu's words, everyone in the ancestral hall was shocked.
They had never thought that the King of Shu would actually be in cahoots with the remnants of the previous dynasty!
Someone immediately asked,
"Since the evidence is conclusive, why not report it to the Imperial Court and send troops to suppress it!”
"That's right, Patriarch. This is no small matter! If the Sui people could forge 8,000 Iron Pagodas, it was hard to guarantee that they would not forge more combat power!”
"In that case, this old man will immediately draft the memorial when I return to the residence today. I will send the memorial to His Majesty even if it means traveling night and day!”
"This Shu King Li Ke is really forgetting the rules of his ancestors! Our Li family has treated him well! Moreover, he was a noble prince. As long as he went to Yizhou to eat, drink, and have fun, it would be fine! Why are you doing this?"
"As a citizen of the Great Tang, colluding with the people of the Sui is disloyalty! As a son, he actually colluded with His Majesty's enemy. This was unfilial! The King of Shu, Li Ke, was really a disloyal and unfilial person!”
Listening to the people cursing the King of Shu, Li Taixu's mouth curled up.
This was the result he wanted.
Only by making these guys hate the King of Shu from the bottom of their hearts.
Then, they would work extremely hard on the next step.
Lee Taixu cleared his throat and said,"
"Even so, Li Ke is still a descendant of our Li Clan. I think he must have been bewitched by the Sui people. Don't tell anyone about this after you return to the residence. The King of Shu was still young and had a chance to turn over a new leaf.”
Lee Taixu said this very earnestly.
He had a look of "love and tolerance".
However, Lee Taixu's performance was very insidious.
He first aroused the hatred of the Li Clan's heroes towards Li Ke.
Then, he acted like the King of Shu, hoping that everyone would forgive him, giving everyone a hint.
He told them that they could spread the infamy of the King of Shu.
As the head of the Li Clan in Longxi, Li Taixu understood these talents all too well.
The great clans valued titles the most.
Li Ke had never been truly accepted into the Li family.
Now that he was colluding with his predecessors, these people wanted nothing more than to kick Li Ke out of the Li Clan of Longxi.
After returning to the residence, they would only spare no effort to belittle and vilify the image of the King of Shu.
One spread to ten, ten spread to a hundred.
As more and more lies spread, they became the truth.
Moreover, the more lies were spread, the more the content would be exaggerated.
As long as he started, the slander would spread.
Then Li Ke's name would naturally become smelly.
The most important thing was…
Lee Tai Xu's hypocritical performance of " love and tolerance " perfectly separated him from this operation.
Even if the emperor was angry and punished him, it would not fall on him.
It had to be said that Lee Taixu's moves were too sinister and vicious.
He looked at the indignant expressions on the faces of these Li Consortium elites.
Lee Taixu knew that his evil plan had succeeded.
…………
Yizhou Tianfu City, Zhaolie Palace.
Li Ke sat behind the table and stared at the personnel list.
All 120 officials of Heavenly City had been killed. This caused a huge shortage of talents in Heavenly City.
He was secretly selecting suitable talents.
In the large pile of personnel files in his hand, Li Ke really found a few treasures.
Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi, Chu Suiliang.
These three were all famous names in the future.
But now, they were all nameless.
Moreover, they were all in Yizhou.
However, what puzzled Li Ke was that…
Weren't Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi from the Zhou Dynasty?
They should still be babies at this moment.
It seemed that something had gone wrong, causing these two people to be born prematurely.
To Li Ke, this was a great thing.
Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi, Chu Suiliang.
Each of these three people was more powerful than the other.
Di Renjie was a detective expert and a genius in officialdom.
Zhang Jianzhi launched the Dragon Coup, overthrew the Zhou Dynasty, and restored the Tang Dynasty!
Chu Suiliang was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin's trusted minister.
Right now, these three people had yet to rise up and were just ordinary people without a name.
If he could get these three people to work for him and help him manage the affairs of Yizhou.
Then wouldn't the four cities of Yizhou be within his grasp?
Li Ke immediately ordered his maid Shangguan Wan 'er,"
"This king admires these three people very much. Summon the three of them to see me.”
Shangguan Wan 'er bowed respectfully and quickly left.
Completing the orders of the King of Shu was Shangguan Wan 'er's life creed.
After Shangguan Wan 'er left, a gust of cold wind appeared.
Li Ke knew that the birds had arrived.
He opened his mouth and said in a deep voice,
"This king is tired. You all can leave."
The maids and servants left one after another and closed the door of the Zhaolie Palace.
Li Ke then said,
"Come out."
The Hundred Birds Parrot Song and the Hundred Birds White Phoenix knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully.
Parrot Song was the first to speak,"
"Your Highness the King of Shu, the experts of the underground river are rushing to Yizhou, intending to ambush and kill Your Highness!”
Bai Feng immediately spoke and reported,
"Reporting to Your Highness the King of Shu, the patriarch of Longxi's Li family has plotted to tarnish Your Highness 'reputation in the hearts of the people.”
Hearing the report from Parrot Song and White Phoenix, Li Ke smiled coldly.
He said,"
"If the underground river wants to kill me, then I'll teach them a lesson!”
"Leave all the checkpoints to Heavenly City unguarded. Let the people from the underground river come!”
"As long as they dare to show themselves, this king will make sure they never return!”
"As for Longxi's Li Clan's dirty methods…”
He waved his sleeves and shouted,
"Tell the Hundred Schools of Philosophers not to hide anymore. Show themselves in the name of the King of Shu!”
