1018 Compared with the late Tang clan, you are not a fuel-efficient lamp
Although Li Tianqu's words were steadily spoken, these sons of the Later Tang Dynasty sounded aroused murderous intent... The people kneeling in the hall were even more terrified... After only a moment, Li Keyong's third son, Li Cunba, the King of Later Tang Yong, suddenly crawled out with his hands and feet. He lowered his body as much as possible, his face almost touching the ground, and begged sadly:
"I am ambiguous country, and I am an enemy of the Celestial Empire. I work hard to punish the king. Xiao Wang... The people know their own blame, how dare they disobey the destiny? I hope your majesty will be merciful. I will remember that I had a relationship with my father to fight for the friendship between the Liang thieves of the pseudo-King Dynasty and protect our Li family... Shatuo Zhu Xie's descendants.
Caomin only wants to be able to escape into a monk and become a monk... Since then, there is no Tang in the world... Jin State, Hedong is owned by the Celestial Empire, which is actually the general trend. Caomin also decided not to incite the Jin people anymore, but to resist the Celestial Empire! I beg your Majesty to fulfill his kindness!"
Looking at Li Cunba who was begging on the ground, he looked pitiful, but Li Tianqu narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a playful smile.
If he followed the official history line, after Li Cunba died, he did cut his hair directly and put on monk's robes. He begged to Fu Yanchao, the eldest son of Fu Cun, who would serve in the Later Tang Dynasty with his father according to the original trajectory, "I am willing to be a mountain monk and protect Mr. Ji." However, he secretly plotted behind his back, planning to kill Fu Yanchao and Taiyuan, and establish himself in Hedong. In the end, he ended up being executed because of the incident.
Even if Li Cunxu's other brothers have no ambitions, they are only concerned about saving their lives and will not have the indecent idea of inheriting the throne and reviving the Later Tang Dynasty... But Li Cunba, who first came out to beg for mercy, has always been covered by Li Cunxu's edge in the past, once he has any chance, he will definitely make trouble.
However, although this guy has ambitions, he lacks ability, and is easily seen and destroyed, he will never be able to become a great person... Li Tianqu thought to himself that he could follow the clues and find out a group of old ministers from the Later Tang who were forced to surrender to the Wei Dynasty on the surface, but he would also wait for an opportunity to cause chaos. Since Li Cunba still had to play, he might as well watch him continue to act... So he pretended to be pondering, nodded immediately, and said:
"Forget it... I have a close friendship with Lingzun. Although the Li family in Hedong is an enemy of our dynasty, if they persecuted the royal family of the devastated country, it would seem that I could not tolerate anyone... I will allow you to join the mountain gate and become a monk, and from then on, the world will be broken. As for others, I need to arrange it to move to the Central Plains, which will give you a place to live..."
After hearing Li Tianqu's long speech, a cunning look flashed in Li Cunba's eyes, who was lying on the ground... But he still shouted some of His Majesty's holy grace with great gratitude, and even knocked his head to the ground with force, thumping it so hard...
In addition to fainting due to spasms and being carried out directly... Li Cunmei, Li Cunque, and Li Cunji were also very surprised by Li Cunba's behavior of begging to become a monk. He also heard that Emperor Li Tianqu of Wei wanted to take them to the Central Plains, and he felt even more painful in his heart... After all, from ancient times to the present, the kings who lost their country and even the children of the royal family fell into the hands of the enemy country. Perhaps the other party wanted to have a good reputation. For face, it was not convenient to openly kill the royal family members who had lost their country. But in a few years, they were likely to end up in an unknown way of death...
But at this point, Li Cunli and others were not qualified to refuse? They had to thank Li Tianqu with a bitter face, and then let the guards take them out one by one.
Li Tianqu stared coldly, thinking that Li Keyong's other sons did not beg for becoming a monk with Li Cunba. It seemed that they were not the same as one, nor did they collude and conspire. Then they would not be killed with Li Cunba at that time... Even if these descendants of the country would still live in fear in the future, at least they would not end up being assassinated by Li Siyuan's confidant as they were assassinated by Qingjue as their original life path.
In addition to Li Cunba, Li Cunmei, Li Cunli... and other Li Cunxu's biological brothers, in addition to the eldest son of the Later Tang Emperor Li Jiji who had committed suicide by hanging himself, there were also princes such as Li Jitong, Li Jisong, Li Jichan, Li Jiyan, and Li Jiyao. However, now they are not as old as children or are still in their infancy, so there is no need to summon these innocent children.
Otherwise, those young princes whose father died and who were deeply frightened might even cry loudly in the hall... Li Tianquxin said that if the trouble was to that extent, wouldn't it make me seem like I was bullying a child?
In addition to his married daughter, Li Cunxu's biological flesh and blood, after the change of Xingjiao, the first statement was that he was missing, and the second statement was that he went to Shu to join the Later Shu regime, which he claimed to be emperor. Meng Zhixiang of Later Shu treated these nephews like his own sons.
But Li Tianqu thought that Li Siyuan had entered the court to succeed the throne, and his confidants arrested and killed Li Cunxu's brothers and children, who would have to take the risk and traveled thousands of miles to bring these children to Shu? If Li Cunxu's other parents and children went to Meng Zhixiang in the Later Shu, why did they seem to have disappeared later?
If the princes such as Li Jitong were the first to say, they all disappeared, and Li Tianqu thought about the so-called missing place, and they all understood... Then the fate of the Li family of Zhu Xie family will be as described in the other historical records:
When Zhuangzong was killed, one out of 110 descendants of Taizu. Mingzong entered the army and four of them were killed. The rest were not sure where to end. Taizu died after...
Li Tianqu knew that although he could use some tricks, he could use some evil methods to attack some children, and he would never be able to do it... So he dismissed the palace ladies in the inner city of Jinyang and returned home, but Li Jitong, Li Jisong and other Li Cunxu's biological mothers, with their children, were brought back to the Central Plains to settle, and then arranged some people to take care of their livelihoods, ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, and also according to the system of appeaseing the descendants of the royal family in the deceased country.
When these children grow up, the Later Tang Dynasty is just a separatist regime that exists in history and should not have any influence on the Central Plains... They will do whatever they like in the future, and even if they will remember their family backgrounds, how big a storm can the old and young people who lost their country in the previous dynasty cause?
Li Tianqu couldn't help but sigh, thinking that whether for Li Keyong or Li Cunxu, I would certainly destroy the regime established by you father and son. But even if you destroy your foundation, at least I will not pose a threat to our dynasty, and protect the descendants of Zhu Xie Li's family, you will not be able to end your lineage as your original fate... Although I was once the rival to fight for the world, this is worthy of you father and son, right?
However, compared with Li Cunba, Li Cunmei and other descendants of Li Keyong, and even Li Jitong, Li Jisong and other Li Cunxu's biological flesh and blood... Li Tianqu knew very well that the next person to summon the Later Tang noble relatives who had been in contact with the Li family in Hedong, he must be more energetic...
Although the surrendered minister of the Later Tang who was summoned in the hall was submissive, he seemed even more humble and arrogant than the clan members of the Li family in Hedong who were shocked and uneasy. After entering the hall, the surrendered minister's eyes drooped slightly, and he walked forward a few steps forward without any rush or slowness, and respectfully bowed to Li Tianqu:
"Meng Zhixiang, the Yin of Taiyuan, Jin State, will pay a visit to Your Majesty..."
