Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Crowd is Shocked
Also fined for a year was Wei Chigong, like Cheng Biting Jin, although Jingyang injured 1,000 enemies, he also lost 800 himself. Similarly, Jingyang was unable to stop the Turks. In this case, he is also guilty.
When the two returned to their seats, they looked at each other and smiled, and then returned to their seriousness.
"Although he was punished for his money, whose family lives on that money? Moreover, although they were defeated this time, they took the lead in asking for their lives in the face of the national disaster, and these two people still have the credit. This is the case in the court, although the rewards and punishments are clear, but there are some merits, and it is impossible to be buried because of the punishment. Sometimes being punished is not necessarily a bad thing. β
Listening to the old gentleman's whispered explanation, Li Chengqian nodded as if he didn't understand. The court is worthy of the rumored big whirlpool, the big mud pit, and the doorway in it is not something that he, a layman who crossed over, can figure out for a while.
When Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong both asked for punishment, Dali Siqing Dai Zhou stood up.
After bowing down, Dai Xuan said in a serious voice: "Your Majesty, Dali Temple's handling of the remnants of King Xiwang (Li Jiancheng) has ended. Since June, Dali Temple has beheaded 1,423 people and dismissed 357 officials. Twenty-one Knights. β
Listening to Dai Xuan's serious voice, many people in the court gasped.
Although I was a little mentally prepared for the follow-up of the incident, I was still a little shocked to hear that more than 1,000 people had been beheaded, more than 300 people had been dismissed, and 21 people with titles had been taken down.
But at this time, no one dared to get involved. It is inevitable that the emperor wants to purge the power of King Xi. Whoever usurps power through a coup d'Γ©tat will set off a bloody storm. Now that "only" there are so many deaths, it's already good.
"Stand down."
Hearing the emperor's strange voice, Dai Xuan could only retreat.
Because the Ping Tian crown has a shield blocking the emperor's eyes, no one can see through the emperor's thoughts through his eyes.
However, whether the emperor is starting to relent, or wants to continue to clear it, since Dai Zhou has put the matter on the bright side, it means that this bloody storm has come to an end.
At this point, many people who are waiting for death at home or waiting for resignation to take the title can probably breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Gang nodded secretly and said to Li Chengqian: "For the emperor, it is very important to know when to stop. The old man dared to say that King Xi's power has not been completely eliminated, but if it is cleaned up, it will have an impact on the court. Look at the front of the Imperial History, the guy who knelt the most straight and didn't doze off at all. The old man remembered that his name was Wei Zheng, and he used to be one of King Xi's subordinates. But your father did not kill him, but promoted him to be the imperial historian. Do you understand the reason? β
Glancing at Wei Zheng, Li Chengqian nodded.
It's not difficult, Dad didn't kill him, but kept him and even promoted him, just to appease some people. Under such circumstances, the people of the Xiwang family will not take risks in fear, but are stupidly waiting for themselves to become the lucky one.
Seeing Li Chengqian nodding, Li Gang didn't ask him what he understood. There are a lot of things, as long as you understand it, it's not suitable to talk about it on the surface.
After Dai Zhou stepped back, no one stood up for a long time.
Just when Li Chengqian's legs were numb when he was kneeling and felt that it was time to retreat, Li Jing stood up at the front of the general.
"Aiqing came out just right, the Turks invaded the territory, Chang'an can be safe and sound, coupled with the border defense design of the front line of Gaoling, Qing has made great contributions. I will be rewarded heavily! β
Although he said this, behind him, Li Shimin's eyes still showed a trace of panic.
For Li Jing's reward, it is really a little sad. Wei Guogong is a martial artist, and then he is the "Hussar General". However, Li Shimin, who held the military power in his hands, did not want to seal this position, unless the general's old life was not long.
Li Jing also knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, however, the minister has the courage to refrain from His Majesty's grace and ask for another reward." β
Li Jing's unexpected answer not only surprised the courtiers, but even Li Shimin's motionless dragon robe quietly wrinkled a little.
It's so unusual!
However, Li Shimin still said: "It's okay to love Qing!" β
Taking a deep breath, Li Jing said worriedly: "Your Majesty please be the prince and the prince, the master of martial arts and the art of war for His Royal Highness the prince, and participate in the training led by the prince himself, please give your majesty's permission!" β
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked!
The reaction was more violent than the generals' side, many generals exclaimed, and Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, wanted to stand up, and only after pressing his hand on the ground did he notice his movements and retracted.
The most violent reaction was none other than Hou Junji, who almost smashed his fist to the ground with all his might, causing everyone to look sideways. Because he also studied under Li Jing, Li Jing taught him some military common sense, so he didn't teach anything. You know, he asked Li Shimin to send a message to order Li Jing!
Now that Li Jing has openly said in the court that he wants to teach the prince the art of war, then it is impossible for him to hide his secrets. In the court, it's a little spit and a nail!
Also shocked was the emperor, who knew too well what Li Jing's art of war was all about! Even he was once named "General Tiance", known as the invincible commander of the Tang Dynasty, but the marching and ceremonial guards were more of his own experience, and there was never a real teacher to teach him the art of war.
Although he was conceited, in the arrangement of troops, in the face of Li Jing, he still had to admit defeat. It can be seen from this that Li Jing has many dicks.
But such a dick person actually said that he wanted to teach the prince the art of war?
Li Chengqian rubbed his swollen legs, and said to Li Gang with a wry smile: "The disciple thought you were going to hand over a book, but you just threw a grinding disc over!" β
Li Gang said disapprerovingly: "Do you know the old man's hard work? The next time you make a bet, tap on the old man. Although I don't know how you deduced it, the old man thinks that the possibility of Feng Deyu having an accident next year is very high! β
With the previous bet on money, Li Gang was actually very wary of the gambling contract proposed by Li Chengqian. But the reason why he still agreed was because he knew that most of the bets made by Li Chengqian were because he had asked for them.
In the face of Li Chengqian's request, Li Gang always had a hard time refusing. Otherwise, not to mention a leek box, even if there is another meal of dumplings, he will not agree to come to the court.
Excited, Li Shimin couldn't help but stand up and asked quickly, "Is Aiqing serious?" β
