Chapter 316 Start mining
Because Li Chengqian overestimated these people, the atmosphere was so terrifying that these local emperors who usually dominate the area were trembling, and they didn't know how to deal with it.
The screams from afar were getting less and less, which meant that Liu Rengui was about to finish. Li Chengqian looked at the guys in front of him who could only kowtow and became more and more angry.
Just as he was about to make a clear statement, he suddenly heard the leader of a tribe kneeling behind him shouting: "I am stupid, I am just talking about what orders the crown prince has to say, and I am just following them."
"Please tell me clearly!"
...
...
For a moment, everyone asked Li Chengqian to say it clearly. Li Chengqian was powerless to look at the group of people and thought in his heart that he had done too much?
Thinking about how much effort they had put in before, would they be suspicious if they had expressed their true purpose at once?
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian said lightly: "After the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo, the Tang Dynasty's war horses consume a lot of money, and urgently need to be supplemented--"
Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, he heard Tuoba Chi Ci rushing to say: "This time I met Tian Khan, and I will present a thousand war horses to Tian Khan. I will send someone back to the tribe to send a message later. Then, I will send another five to five hundred war horses."
He lowered his head and did not see his face, but he could tell how painful he felt just by listening to the sound.
"I also have war horses to offer..."
...
...
These people were really scared today. Even if they felt so painful, they had to increase their efforts to offer their war horses in order to please Li Chengqian.
"Okay! Everyone gets up and hears the Lone King finish his words."
"Uh!" Everyone was scared by Li Chengqian again, and they didn't know where they offended him, so they had to stand up in a daze.
Li Chengqian watched the group of people take a few deep breaths and ordered Liu Kui to lift the throne forward, then sat down before speaking.
"The Lone King wants your war horses and will not let you suffer any losses. Except for the war horses you are preparing to offer this time, there are not a single one of the Lone Kings. The Lone King will exchange cattle, sheep or food for you."
Tuoba Chici was confused. If Li Chengqian was just exchanging horses, wouldn't he be so embarrassed about them?
Before he could figure it out, he listened to Li Chengqian and continued: "But what the Lone King wants to exchange for is all the horses in your tribes. In other words, you don't have to raise horses in the future. You only raise cattle and sheep to eat and use them yourself. For more, you can exchange food, cloth and other supplies with the Tang Dynasty."
Li Chengqian said this and stopped to wait for them to digest.
Tuoba Chici and others felt incredible. Although they didn't have many knights and had no advantage over the surrounding tribes, they never thought that they would lose all their horses one day.
This is an unacceptable thing.
"Your Highness of the Crown Prince--" Tuoba Chici bowed again to express his feelings to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian saw it and waved his hand and said, "The Lord of the Gate knows that you can't figure it out for a while. It doesn't matter if you go back and you can slowly think of the Lord of the Gate to give you time."
In addition, the Lone King wanted to select a group of guards from the various tribes of Dangxiang. You sent someone to send a letter to summon the young and strong tribes from the tribe to start a martial arts campaign.
In the time, the young and strong people in your tribes will be selected to win the final winner. Those who pass the imperial examination will not only receive generous rewards but also enter Chang'an to protect the Lone King."
I heard that with generous rewards, I could still become an official in Chang'an, and these people thought it was a great thing.
"I wonder how many guards His Highness the Crown Prince plans to summon him?" Tuoba Chici tentatively, and the others looked at Li Chengqian eagerly.
Li Chengqian didn't know what he meant, so he said lightly: "The Lone King's choice of guards only selects the most brave people. How many people can choose in the end depends on whether the warriors in your divisions are brave."
Tuoba Chici and others didn't know how to answer for a while.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian turned his eyes and sneered, "What? You don't want your warriors to protect the Lone King?"
The question was loud and the murderous intent was released without any concealment.
All the leaders of Dangxiang Qiang, including Tuoba Chi Ci, were so scared that they were trembling in their hearts and forgot to deal with it for a moment.
At this moment, Liu Rengui walked along with a group of generals responsible for killing the leader of Mobei. The armor leaves on their bodies made a "bang bang bang bang" impact. Tuoba Chici and others heard it as if they were striking their hearts.
The armor of these people was covered in blood, and the blood was covered in smoke that could be smoked a few feet away. As soon as they approached, Tuoba Chici and others were so scared that their faces turned pale and they didn't dare to look up at them.
"Report to the Prince, the execution of 17,000 rebels in the northern desert was completed." Liu Rengui responded to Li Chengqian with a strong force.
Li Chengqian said lightly: "Thank you for your hard work, we must deal with the body burning or burying it deep as soon as possible, so as not to cause epidemics."
"Abide by the order!" Liu Rengui said that, bowed his head and bowed, turned around and left with a group of generals again, "bang bang..."
Li Chengqian did not look at the dumb leader of Dangxiang Qiang again, and stood up and dusted his robe as if he was about to leave.
Frightened to the point of being possessed, Tuoba Chici finally reacted and said loudly: "I am willing to send warriors to protect His Highness the Prince."
Li Chengqian's goal was to achieve his steps and walked out loudly, saying, "The Gu Wang will start the martial arts competition in a month, and then the Turkic tribes will also send people to participate."
Seeing Li Chengqian leaving with great honor, Tuoba Lai Ci felt extremely sad and angry, and had countless thoughts in his heart but did not dare to say any of them.
--------------------------------
It was already afternoon when Li Chengqian returned to the Lingzhou Governor's Office. Although he ordered people to smoke more incense since he entered the school, he still felt a bloody smell. On the way, he ordered people to go back and prepare water to take a bath.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, Li Chengqian took a break indoors for a while.
At dusk, Li Chengqian slowly walked out of the house and went to the yard to see Xuanzang sitting cross-legged on the ground, his eyes closed and his mouth muttering something. I don’t know if he was chanting scriptures and passing the monks or praying for something.
Li Chengqian walked to the arhat bed in the courtyard with a calm expression and sat down. He glanced at Xuanzang and asked lightly: "Does Xuanzang know what the Lone King asked you to come?"
When Xuanzang heard this, he opened his eyes and looked up at Li Chengqian, and his expression became sacred, solemn, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "No matter what His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince ordered me to do, I would ask the Buddha and ask if I should do it in my heart."
It seems that answering questions that are not answered, but in fact it blocked all the way to inquire by Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian sneered and said, "If the monk can't even do this little thing well, then there is no need for China to leave behind the Buddhist tradition."
After saying that, Li Chengqian got up and walked towards the main courtyard, preparing to pay tribute to Li Shimin.
As soon as Li Chengqian left, someone came to grab Xuanzang's arm and wanted to pull it down. At this time, Xuanzang realized that Li Chengqian might launch a campaign to destroy Buddhism.
Xuanzang gave up all the theories of cause and effect at this moment. He himself did not imagine what kind of harm Li Chengqian would cause to the Buddhist sect if he took action to destroy the Buddha.
No matter what kind of retribution Li Chengqian suffered, his harm to Buddhism was unimaginable.
Li Chengqian did not stop and just said lightly: "Complete the Orphan King's order, otherwise..."
This time, Li Chengqian was so disappointed with the people of Buddhism that he sent them out that he clearly told them to cooperate with the court to guide the Dangxiang tribes to return to the Tang Dynasty.
As a result, I changed my mind after being supported by someone for a few days and was instructed to come and test myself.
Li Chengqian dares to say that no one who stood at the entrance of the school today, except Xuanzang, sincerely pleaded for the leaders of the Mobei tribes.
They are all just to test Li Chengqian's bottom line or have other purposes. These monks just jumped out to die because of their greed for money.
How could Li Chengqian be polite to them?
After massacring the nobles of Mobei, the surrendered soldiers in Mobei did not rely on them anymore and were soon sent to the silver mine in Lanzhou in batches.
Before leaving, Li Chengqian promised them to send someone to the desert to pick up his family and allow their families to graze south of the desert.
