Things happened one after another, from the aftermath of the big case of "hating victory and shooting couples" to the raging discussion of the government and the opposition to depose the prince, and now there is unfavorable news from the ordnance supervisor, Qin Jin feels that he is already a little anxious.

But a thousand things have to start from the beginning, Qin Jin chose the priority of the near and far, decided to follow the step-by-step process, and still took the complete solution of the case of "tired of winning and shooting couples" as the first task.

This matter has been delayed for too long, and if we don't make up our minds to end it, I don't know what kind of mess we will have to drag out.

However, the originally established process had to be compressed, and after reformulating the policy, Qin Jin immediately entered the palace to meet Li Longji, the son of heaven. He has decided to put Cheng Yuanzhen on trial three days later to show the world that this person is the first evil of the mutiny against the country.

This matter is not trivial, and it must be reported to Li Longji before it can be implemented. After listening to Qin Jin's plan, Li Longji carefully watched the thick materials for the trial, frowned, and did not say a word for a long time.

All the things about Yang Guozhong in this material were deleted by Qin Jin one by one, which was very different from the confession handed over to the Son of Heaven a few days ago. However, Li Longji did not raise any objections to this, and after thinking for a while, he finally raised his head and looked at Qin Jin.

"Now that the trial has been concluded, the case is closed and the punishment is given, so why bother?"

Li Longji's so-called superfluous move refers to the public trial of Cheng Yuanzhen.

Qin Jin replied in a deep voice:

"The unfair trial is not enough for Chang'an to know about Cheng Yuanzhen's evil. An unfair trial is not enough to warn those treacherous villains with bad intentions!"

Qin Jin's remarks made Li Longji blink his eyes twice and look at Qin Jin again. It seems that this is not a military general, but those civil officials who rely on the pen to enter the office. But after a moment, he suddenly realized that this Qin Jin was originally a literati of Jinshi and Di, but he had been holding important positions in the army since he entered Chang'an, so that he had forgotten this person's background.

"Since this is the case, it is according to Qin Qing's intentions!"

Li Longji agreed, but he only questioned it slightly, and then did not put forward any other opinions.

However, there is another point, Li Longji never mentioned the matter of "abolishing the crown prince" that has been violently discussed in recent days, and Qin Jin also kept silent about it very tacitly.

In addition to talking about some matters related to the restoration of law and order in Chang'an, the two monarchs and ministers also turned the topic to the war east of Tongguan.

Speaking of the situation outside the Guan, Li Longji's eyes were even darker, and it was obvious that such setbacks had become a heart disease that he did not want to mention and had to face.

"I heard that the thieves are already ready to move, maybe in the next month or two, there will be a big war!"

Li Longji's eyelids jumped suddenly when Qin Jin said, his composure was just a reluctant effort before, and now he really mentions these unavoidable major events, which is already very powerful.

"The war in Tongguan is all with Ge Shu, and I am very at ease!"

Li Longji dodged the question and planned to bypass the issue. But how can Qin Jin avoid talking about it, Ge Shuhan can indeed play the role of fixing the sea god needle, but I am afraid that this old guy and Yang Guozhong are not fuel-efficient lamps, and if they make some trouble, they will take the old road of history.

"The minister once heard a proverb, 'The strongest fortress is breached from the inside', and the minister thinks it is not unreasonable!"

The Son of Heaven's brows had already wrinkled involuntarily, and Qin Jin only pretended not to see it and continued to force the topic. This time, the Son of Heaven couldn't talk about him left and right, because Qin Jin had already pointed the finger at the court, so he had to bite the bullet and say:

"Qin Qing thinks that how can the fortress of Datang withstand the onslaught of the traitors?"

Once the wheat is harvested, the rebels entrenched in Henan and Hebei will launch a new offensive, and the relative calm between the Tang Dynasty and the rebels will come to an end.

Qin Jin looked at the Son of Heaven, whose face had already shown displeasure, and muttered for a while before replying in a low voice:

"Without him, with sincere unity and unanimity to the outside world, the Tang Army will inevitably win the final victory!"

The tone of the Tang army will achieve the final victory is very resolute and affirmative, which makes Li Longji can't help but be a little surprised, in his impression, Qin Jin is a rather cautious person, never speak so full, could it be that Qin Jin is so sure that the Tang army will win?

You must know that several of the most warlike generals in the Tang Dynasty have been defeated in the hands of the rebels, and Yan Liao Tiecai under An Lushan was also an unparalleled elite warrior in the Tang Dynasty's border army before the rebellion, so how easy is it to defeat them?

Qin Jin saw through Li Longji's mind at a glance, he had never seen this old man so thoroughly as he did today.

After being in contact with this Son of Heaven for a long time, Qin Jin discovered that the Son of Heaven is also a human being, and he also has the joys, sorrows, and sorrows that ordinary people have, and even fear and boredom.

For example, in Li Longji's state of mind at the moment, there is fear and boredom that are difficult to speak to outsiders. However, in this position, how can he just say that he can laugh at it when he is tired? In the end, all kinds of troubles will still be pressed up.

Qin Jin even had some sympathy for this difficult Son of Heaven, who had just experienced a mutiny, and could not stop for a moment, and now he had to face even greater trouble, that is, the war that An Lushan was about to launch.

"Don't worry, sage, the minister thinks, the following rules can be an incomparable advantage for Datang!"

"Qin Qing say it quickly!"

Li Longji couldn't help but bow slightly with some excitement.

"First, the Tang Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, and the people's hopes are like the sky. Second, the thieves burned, killed and looted, and the people hated these robbers from the north. Third, and it is also a very important point, fighting a war is consumption, even if the 100,000 rebels are elite, there are still three achievements left after a year and a half, and then the two sides will fight for manpower and financial resources. Although my Datang is temporarily unfavorable, it is about a million people, and there are two places endowed with fish and rice, on the other hand, the rebels do not know how to build but only know how to burn, kill and loot, and the time is a little longer, it will inevitably be stretched and unsustainable, and it will be the time for my Datang to quell the turmoil......"

Li Longji heard the meaning from Qin Jin's words.

"Qin Qing's intention, but he said that he wanted to fight a protracted war, polish the morale of the traitors, and consume their manpower and financial resources!"

In his opinion, this method of hurting people with this is a stupid way to not be stupid, Tang Jun has always dared to take risks, soldiers are unexpected, and now they are fighting hard and consuming, doesn't it just confirm the deterioration of the situation? But it is undeniable that this is indeed the most secure and effective method.

This time, Li Longji did not rush to express his position, but said in a rather strange tone:

"What Qin Qing said is true, tomorrow I can invite the prime minister to discuss together, if it is meaningless, I will fight with the rebel thief!"

In fact, Qin Jin really knows too much about what Li Longji is thinking, and he still faces this catastrophe with the mentality of covering his ears and stealing the bell, and he can't face up to the advantages and disadvantages of Datang.

The disadvantage of the Tang Dynasty is that the generals are very weak, and they cannot talk to the rebels on the same day, and if they are eager to fight quickly, it is tantamount to attacking the enemy's strengths with their own shortcomings. The advantage of Datang lies in population and financial resources, although the rebels occupied both sides of the river and turned Henan and Hebei upside down, but after all, Datang still has two rich lands, and with the population of Guanzhong, it may not be impossible to have the power to fight.

Although there is also the trouble of cutting off the water and land from Luoyang to Chang'an, it is difficult for the grain of the two Huai to reach Guanzhong, but the army in Guanzhong can go out of the customs to eat. You must know that the area firmly controlled by the rebels in Henan is only along the river, and further south is in the hands of **.

Therefore, as long as you have the heart to go out, the rebels may not be able to blockade it.

It's just that these details can't be drunk for a while, and Li Longji elaborates them one by one. Moreover, Qin Jin has been hinting that if the Tang Dynasty wants to win, maintaining internal stability is the key, if you engage in that set of checks and balances again, and the Son of Heaven is old and lacks energy, once he plays too much, he will be burned sooner or later.

However, Li Longji is the Son of Heaven after all, and there are some things, Qin Jin, as a courtier, can't point it out directly, he only hopes that today's hint is not in vain, and Li Longji can understand it.

In any case, today's face saint purpose has almost been achieved, and Li Longji has obviously tacitly responded to Qin Jin's compromise.

……

Thousands of people gathered in the Dongshi Square opposite the Qinzheng Building of Xingqing Palace, and people saw the announcement as early as three days ago, and today the public trial will execute Cheng Yuanzhen, the eunuch of the country.

People have a strong curiosity to see what will happen to this usually high-spirited eunuch.

Moreover, in addition to the common people, there were also all officials of the fifth rank and above in Beijing who were in Beijing to observe the punishment.

The actions of the Shenwu Army were also very good, and in just three days, a pergola enough to accommodate thousands of people was erected on the East Market Square, and the officials entered and sat down one after another under the guidance of Yousi's arrangement.

As far as the observation of the sentence is concerned, it is not the first time that the officials present and the people on the periphery are watching. But then, the process arranged by Qin Jin made them feel new.

It turns out that the focus of this so-called public trial is not only on the criminal verdict, but also on the public trial.

When the hour came, the celebrant sang and shouted:

"Cheng Yuanzhen, who brought disaster to the country and the people!"

Under the watchful eye, Cheng Yuanzhen, who was invincible in the past, appeared on the stage with his arms pressed by two soldiers, perhaps because of fear, Cheng Yuanzhen was no longer able to walk on his own, and was almost dragged to the ground with his feet weakly all the way, and was dragged to the established position.

Cheng Yuanzhen's demeanor when investigating and dealing with the major case of "hating victory and shooting couples" is vivid, and most of the officials present it are vividly remembered. Now seeing his virtue, some people high-fived and praised, some people secretly sighed, and even felt sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

In contrast, on the contrary, the onlookers burst into cheers, and people threw stones and soil at Cheng Yuanzhen, and even the Shenwu soldiers with two escorts ate a lot of stones.

After the people's emotions were vented for a while, according to the established arrangement, someone began to read out the accusations one by one.
