Chapter 547
Ying Zheng: "So fun! Let's eat a melon!"
Ying Zheng: "+1"
Xiao Mai: "You love a good spectacle. I'll eat a melon too."
In the livestream room.
At Li Shimin's command, the entire Li clan was quickly brought forward.
"You're Li Shimin?" Looking at the handsome but overly delicate young man below, Li Shimin couldn't accept it.
This is the emperor who won the empire on horseback?
"Looks like this? No wonder the nuns of Cihang Pure Studio picked him." Li Shimin covered his face. "So embarrassing."
The Li Shimin from the Twin Dragons of Tang world stared blankly, utterly clueless about what the man on the throne meant.
"I'm also Li Shimin—the Tang Taizong Li Shimin from another world!" Li Shimin snorted. "Issue my order: seize seventy percent of the Li clan's wealth, then release them uncharged."
His gaze fell on Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Li Xiuning, all stunned, and he said calmly: "I've left you a path. I hope you recognize it, and don't take the wrong turn."
With a wave of his hand, Li Shimin and his party were led away.
Only after leaving the imperial palace did they come to their senses.
Li Shimin and Li Yuan were still dazed.
"Father, was that really Second Brother?" Li Xiuning glanced at her brother, then asked Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was left speechless.
"He said he's Li Shimin from another world—how should I know his background?"
"It's a pity—all our family's generations of accumulated wealth, gone in an instant."
Li Xiuning's eyes sparkled as she shook her head: "Father, we've already gotten the better end. We kept thirty percent of our wealth. Other noble clans? They're finished."
The young Li Shimin trembled as he said: "You mean that Li Shimin intends to exterminate them all—wipe out every noble clan?"
"Is that hard to understand?" Li Yuan snorted. "Since the Western Han, emperors have shared rule with the noble clans. The imperial family is merely the largest clan. But every wise ruler has wanted to curb the power of these aristocrats."
"Now that he possesses such overwhelming strength, he naturally intends to clean them out completely."
"He's accomplishing the lifelong ambition of countless emperors."
Li Yuan praised: "What grandeur! No wonder he's Li Yuan's son."
The young Li Shimin was speechless.
Even if you say that, he's still not related to you in the slightest.
He turned to Li Xiuning and saw her barely holding back a laugh.
"Go ahead and laugh—your second brother is too incompetent! He can't compare to Li Shimin from other worlds!"
As he spoke, another group was dragged out from the palace gates.
"The Yuwen clan—deserves death!"
"The Qinghe Cui clan—deserves death!"
"..."
As each order rang out, heads rolled across Jiangdu.
Yet the common people were not afraid—they wholeheartedly supported it.
Which noble clan didn't feed on the people?
When these people died, they only cheered and clapped.
Added to that were Li Shimin's people-benefiting policies—the Qian Liang handed directly into their hands.
These things were more real than any grand speech—who would pity the dead noble clans?
