Li Xiu still underestimated Li Shimin's anger, but it was not surprising to think about it. After all, even if an ordinary family is dead, his father is holding a funeral. As a result, a person who has received your favor before, not only does not know how to be grateful, but also breaks into your house and smashes your house's things and disrupts the funeral. I am afraid that this ordinary person will fight against the other party, let alone the dignified emperor Li Shimin?

The emperor was furious and buried his body for thousands of miles. That night, Li Shimin summoned Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin to his tent, and then ordered them to set off to the southwest immediately for their posts, and even didn't have to attend the funeral.

Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin left overnight. When they left, they said apart with Ma Ye and Li Xiu. Then the two of them disappeared into the night when they rode away. Looking at the direction of the two of them, Ma Ye couldn't help but sigh: "Murong Chici is really going to drag the Dangxiang people into the abyss that will never be restored!"

Li Xiu nodded deeply when he heard this. If he only sent Qin Qiong, it means that Li Shimin's anger could still be controlled. After all, Qin Qiong only wanted to defeat the enemy on the battlefield and rarely did the city massacre. However, in addition to Qin Qiong, he sent another Cheng Yaojin, which made people feel a little chilling.

Cheng Yaojin's later storytellers had a "demon king in the world". Of course, this was fabricated by later generations. However, during the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Yaojin had a similar "demon king", especially the foreign races he suppressed, who secretly called him the "blood-handed butcher" because when Cheng Yaojin fought against the outside world, his favorite was to massacre the city.

Speaking of the massacre of the city, many generals of the Tang Dynasty have done it. This is mainly because the Tang Dynasty is a government military system, and most soldiers need to bring their own weapons and food, and they may die on the battlefield if they are not careful. According to common sense, this way of combat should make the soldiers less motivated, but the Tang army in the early Tang Dynasty had high morale, and the army was very enthusiastic about fighting.

The reason for the above situation was mainly that when the Tang army fought, they allowed the soldiers to take the spoils for themselves. In other words, if the soldiers wanted to make a fortune, they had to fight desperately. As long as they defeated the enemy, the women, wealth, etc. behind the enemy belonged to them. Of course, if they were fighting internally, the military discipline would become very strict. However, if they were fighting externally, there would be no so many considerations. In order to boost morale, the general would even take the initiative to order the soldiers to plunder.

It was precisely because of the slack military discipline when the Tang Dynasty fought against the outside world. When plundering, it was naturally easy to turn into one-sided massacres. For example, when Li Jing led his army to destroy the Turks, a considerable part of the food supply of the Tang army was looted from the grassland. For this reason, countless tribes died under the butcher knife of the Tang army. However, as long as the Turks were destroyed, no one would care about these trivial matters.

After all, massacre of civilians is not a glorious thing. Many generals try their best to avoid their soldiers slaughtering the enemy, so as not to make themselves famous as a murderer. Yao Jin is an alien in the army. He doesn't care about his reputation at all. And as long as he encounters resistance during foreign wars, he will harshly suppress the enemy afterwards. There are countless aliens who died under his butcher knife. This is how the "Blood-hand Butcher" is from.

However, it was because Cheng Yaojin was too bloodthirsty, so when he destroyed the Turks last time, Li Shimin did not send him as his confidant general. The main reason was that Cheng Yaojin killed too much, which would be unfavorable to his future rule of the grassland. In addition, the last time he destroyed Tuyuhun, although it was mainly Hou Junji and Cheng Yaojin helped him, anyone with discerning eyes knew that it was probably Cheng Yaojin who really came up with the idea of ​​using smallpox.

Now Li Shimin released Cheng Yaojin, the butcher, and when Li Xiu saw them off, he was excited when he saw Cheng Yaojin. It is estimated that Li Shimin had already hinted to him that no matter how much he killed this time, no one would care about it. In this way, the Dangxiang people may have to ask for more blessings.

Before dawn the next day, Li Xiu was probably only four or five o'clock, and everyone in the camp was woken up, and after eating the prepared breakfast, they started rushing again. Although the remaining journey was not much, after arriving at the imperial tomb, Empress Dou's coffin was carried out from the Spirit Hall and buried in the imperial tomb with Li Yuan's coffin.

However, when it was ten miles away from the imperial tomb, Li Shimin and his filial sons and grandsons got off the carriage again, and then followed the hearse and cried. Li Xiu and the ministers also got off the carriage at this time, but the women and children, such as Princess Pingyang, did not need it. When it was dawn, the imperial tomb finally appeared in front of everyone.

The imperial tomb had been arranged long ago. When the team arrived, the Taoist priests who arrived early also began to hold a grand ritual. In addition, officials from the Imperial Heaven Supervision presided over the sacrifice. At the same time, Empress Dou's coffin was also invited and placed side by side with Li Yuan's coffin. When the auspicious time arrived, the two coffins were carried into the imperial tomb and placed. Then the tomb door was sealed, and the sacrifices outside were still held, and it was not over until the afternoon.

After these two days of hard work, everyone was exhausted, and Li Xiu felt even more hungry. After all, except for eating something early this morning, he had never even drank saliva for most of the day.

However, fireworks are strictly prohibited in the imperial tombs, so no one should think about eating, so in the end everyone boarded the carriage again and returned to the camp where they lived yesterday. The sumptuous meals were prepared here, so Li Xiu and the others had the chance to fill their stomachs.

"It's finally over. Did Mr. Pei do you do it on purpose? You've been exhausted all these two days!" Li Xiu patted his stomach and complained to Pei Ji who was making tea in the tent. He and Pei Ji were sitting together when they were having dinner, so after dinner, they made an appointment to come to Pei Ji's tent to have tea and chat.

"It's better to be tired. When a person's body is tired, the sadness in his heart will fade. This will allow His Majesty and the Princess to get out of the pain of losing his father as soon as possible!" Pei Ji smiled and said, and after saying that, he put a cup of tea in front of Li Xiu.

"People are fake, but grief is real!" Li Xiu murmured when he heard this, and after that, he picked up the tea and drank it all.

"The funeral of the Supreme Emperor has also ended, and the taboos during the wake are lifted. I found a tiger in the back mountain in my family. Why not wait two days to hunt together? Maybe we can hunt a tiger skin?" Pei Ji seemed to have never heard of Li Xiu's words, and then smiled again.

Li Xiu was stunned when he heard Pei Ji's words, thinking that it was not the time to hunt, and that a tiger could not be dealt with by both of them? But then he understood what the other party meant, and nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I'll visit Mr. Pei's mansion in three days!"
