"The kid is here!"

In the Ganlu Palace, after Li Erfeng rewarded Meng Wenhao and Li Yu, it was the turn of the iron egg.

Meng Wenhao and Li Yu took a step back and gave up their position to Tie Dan.

Li Er looked at Tie Dan and said slowly: "Han Li, this time to quell the rebellion in Zhengzhou, you not only cooperated with Meng Wenhao to use the telegraph to transmit information, but also killed the master of the Cui family's worship hall on the night of the invasion of Guancheng County, this liao is also one of the most wanted criminals in Dali Temple in the past few months, I didn't expect to be beheaded by you under the sword, and you deserve a heavy reward!" I have decided to crown you as the lieutenant of Renyong and reward you with fifty silk horses! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the favor!"

Tie Dan arched his hand and said lightly.

His complexion didn't fluctuate much, because his ambition was not in the aspect of being an official, he just wanted to follow Li Zexuan in this life to learn his skills well, so that he could protect his family in the future!

Unexpectedly, Li Er did not let Tie Dan and the others retreat, but continued:

"I heard that Wei Huan is also a famous master in the rivers and lakes, and in the end, he was able to be beheaded by your sword, and he is really a hero out of a young man! Your father accompanied the imperial army and fought against the Turks in the north for several years, fighting bravely and killing countless enemies. At a critical time, he blocked the arrow with his body and saved Qin Aiqing's life, and later I also heard about him.

Although your father violated military discipline, there was a reason for the incident, and he left alone because he didn't want to drag down the army. Therefore, I will make the decision today, exempt your father from the crime of escaping from the battle, and then crown your father as the deputy lieutenant of Zhaowu! ”

Li Er, who won the battle, was very enthusiastic, and he had a great intention of giving amnesty to the world, and Han Tianhu's old cases were all turned over by him, which was very surprising.

Tie Dan heard this, his face was full of surprise, it can be said that this is the regret he has always had in his heart, Han Tianhu is a big hero in his mind, but the hero has not been treated as he deserves, he has been regarded as a deserter, and now he has finally been wronged, Tie Dan is even happier than he got a reward, he hugged his fists very excitedly:

"Han Lidai's father, thank Your Majesty for your favor!"

"Hmmm! Let's stand down! Now that the meritorious have been rewarded, the next step is to punish the guilty! ”

Li Er nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand to signal the few of them to retreat.

The reward conference officially came to an end, Li Er's eyes sank, and his voice was cold: "Liu Dewei!" ”

Liu Dewei, the secretary of Dali Temple, looked solemn and arched his hand: "The old minister is here!" ”

Li Er said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, I asked you to thoroughly investigate the suspicious official's collaboration with the enemy and betrayal of the country, how is the progress?" ”

When the ministers in the palace heard this, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and said in their hearts, Lao Li is going to turn over old accounts!

Liu Dewei arched his hand with a solemn expression, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, these days, Dali Temple has met with the Criminal Department and the Yushitai to try forty-two criminal officials, and confirmed that a total of thirty-eight officials are secretly reporting to the Qinghe Cui family, Xingyang Zheng family, and Boling Cui family, most of these people are the descendants and collateral children of these three families, and some of them are former disciples of these three families.

The other four officials were delivering the news to Fanyang Lu's family that the imperial court was preparing to encircle and suppress Zhengzhou! In addition, Lao Chen also found out that there were twelve other officials, who were their comrades, and because they had not had time to pass the message, they noticed that the people of the hundred horsemen were lurking in the dark, but they were confessed by the rest! ”

"Fan Yang Lu's family? Lu Sidao, what do you say? ”

Li Er's eyes flashed, he looked at a minister in the hall and asked.

An old man with white hair walked out tremblingly, this person is the contemporary head of the Fanyang Lu family, after the news of the Zhengzhou rebellion was put down spread all over the world, he came to Chang'an City a few days ago to show loyalty to Li Er.

Lu Sidao arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has never let people send a message to the Lu family, the Lu family lives in Fanyang, and there is absolutely no disobedience!" At that time, after learning of the Cui rebellion, the old minister even wanted to take all the slaves of the Lu family to quell the rebellion for His Majesty. But the Lu family's loyalty to the court is absolutely visible from the sun and the moon, and I hope Your Majesty will see it! ”

Li Er was speechless, Lu Sidao pushed 625 this time, and completely did not admit that those officials had anything to do with the Lu family, and he couldn't do anything about the Lu family because of this, so he said coldly: "Lu Jiazhong is not loyal, I will let people find out about this matter, Liu Dewei listened to the order, all the prisoners who collaborated with the enemy this time were removed from their official positions, and they were assigned to Youzhou, so that they could guard the border for me!" ”

Guarding the border means dying for life!

Since Li Er's accession to the throne, it has rarely been imposed on officials with such heavy punishments, like Wei Zheng at the beginning, although he was the number one adviser under Li Jiancheng's account, and he also suggested that Li Jiancheng assassinate himself several times, but after the Xuanwumen Change, Li Er still ignored his previous suspicions and enabled Wei Zheng, which shows Li Er's big heart!

But now these dozens of officials, they are not the same as Wei Zheng's nature, they are collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, if they are allowed to succeed, the Cui family will attack Luoyang in advance before the imperial army arrives in Zhengzhou, in that way, it will bring immeasurable losses to the imperial court!

This is something that Li Er can't bear.

"The old minister obeys!"

Liu Dewei arched his hand and said.

Li Er's eyes flashed, and he spoke again: "Where is Liu Zhenghui?" ”

Liu Zhenghui was born in Liu, Henan. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Liu Zhenghui served as Sima of Taiyuan Yingyang Mansion. Later, he led his troops to join Li Yuan's command and was sent to Taiyuan to denounce Wang Wei and Gao Junya for rebellion, and was a meritorious hero for Taiyuan Yuan. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he was ordered to stay in Taiyuan and operate the rear. After Liu Wuzhou captured Taiyuan, Liu Zhenghui was captured, but he remained loyal and unyielding. After being rescued, he successively served as the secretary of the Datang Criminal Department.

"The old minister is here~!"

In the civil official camp, an elderly official walked out and said to Li Ergong.

Li Er asked in a deep voice: "Cui Junxuan, Zheng Shuwu, and Cui Wenlin are rebellious and rebel against the imperial court, according to my "Tang Law", what crime should they be guilty of?" ”

Liu Zhenghui arched his hand expressionlessly, and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, rebellion is a capital crime for the Nine Clans!" Cui Junxuan coerced hundreds of thousands of people in Zhengzhou, and it is a capital crime among capital crimes~! ”

Hundreds of officials have a chill in their hearts, capital crimes, and now the death row prisoners who are executed for capital crimes every year in the entire Tang Dynasty add up to only twenty or thirty, mainly after the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the population of the Central Plains has decreased sharply on a large scale, instead of killing the death row prisoners, it is better to let these death row prisoners be exiled to a wild place like Qiongzhou to open up the wasteland, which can be regarded as a contribution to the Tang Dynasty!

Now, if Li Er executes all the children of the three major families who rebelled, then Chang'an City will really bleed!

Li Er thought for a while and said, "Put the culprits Cui Junxuan, Zheng Shuwu, and Cui Wenlian on death row, and ask for beheading them one day!" Zhengzhou assassin Pan Zhenyue, Zhengzhou Zhichong Prefecture Governor Cui Quan, for the tiger and rebellion, deprived of their official positions, and immediately executed! All the descendants of the Cui family in Qinghe, the Zheng family in Xingyang, and the Cui family in Boling, and the men are assigned to Youzhou and Yunzhou to fill the army and guard the border! All the women were reduced to slavery and filled into the Church Division! ”

Vicious!

Li Er's shot is really ruthless, after he did this, these three major families have been completely uprooted, at least within hundreds of years, there will be no day to turn over!

Li Zexuan stood among the ministers, and couldn't help but be silent for a while after hearing this, Cui Junqiu, these culprits, are not worthy of sympathy, what he sympathizes with is the female dependents of these three families, these women, as women with five surnames, were originally the partners that men in the world can't ask for, and now because of Cui Junxuan and others, they have suffered an unwarranted disaster, and they have been charged into the Department of Teaching, and they are bound to become the playthings of those officials competing with each other, and the end is not miserable!

But in fact, Cui Junqiu's rebellion has nothing to do with them? If Cui Junqiu's rebellion is successful, it is the men who will benefit the most; But if the rebellion fails, these women will suffer unjustified disasters!

This is antiquity! A woman's fate is always attached to a man, and she can never make her own decisions!

In the bottom of Li Zexuan's heart, he inexplicably felt a little sympathy!

But what about sympathy? This is a culture that has been passed down for thousands of years, and he can't change it for a while, so he can only let it go!

"Your Majesty! Although Cui Junxuan and others committed the crime of rebellion, these people are all very old, and the execution of the death penalty is probably a little inappropriate! ”

At this moment, Fang Xuanling stood up and arched his hand towards Li Er.

Lao Fang did not want to intercede for the family, but only out of the spirit of humanitarianism, after all, in ancient times, the old man was respected by the whole society!

When Li Er heard this, he frowned, Cui Junxuan and these people he would kill, but what Fang Xuanling said also made some sense, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "Then give each of them a white silk, and leave them a whole corpse!" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Fang Xuanling also understood that this was the biggest concession Li Er could make, so he didn't continue to press.

"Today's army is triumphant, I not only want to reward the three armies in the barracks, but also plan to lift the curfew tonight and celebrate with all the people.

Those who should be rewarded have also been rewarded, and those who should have been punished have also been punished, Li Er was in a good mood and said loudly.

None of the civil and military officials spoke out, and Li Er decisively announced his retreat.

The hundred officials retired in turn, and Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, Niu Jinda, and Li Jing, the generals of the southern expedition, walked with Li Zexuan.

Cheng Yanjin patted Li Zexuan's shoulder and laughed: "Haha! Xiao Xuan, I said that although you kid didn't go to the battlefield in person, he also made a lot of credit, and many generals were very envious! ”

"That's all Your Majesty's love!"

Li Zexuan said modestly.

Li Jing waved his hand and said: "Xiao Xuan, you can't say that, this time I went to Zhengzhou to quell the rebellion, if it weren't for your telegraph machine, the army would never have been able to win these three major families so smoothly, and no one could pick out your merits!" ”

Qin Qiong also stroked his beard and said, "Hehe! That's right, if it weren't for your telegraph and your students, a few of our old guys would probably be fighting Luoyang in Henan Province now! ”

Cheng Yanjin suddenly turned his head, patted Liu Renliang behind him, and said proudly: "Hehe! Liu Renliang, I said that you kid has finally become a soldier under my Lao Cheng now, but I finally snatched you from Wang Yu's old boy, you have to behave well for me Lao Cheng in the future! ”

Cheng Yanjin is the general of the Right Wuwei, and Liu Renliang is now the general of the Right Wuwei, and it is not wrong to say that he is a soldier under Cheng Yanjin!

"The last general obeys!"

Only then did Liu Renliang understand that he was exceptionally promoted, and it turned out that Cheng Yanjin was secretly pushing behind it!
