Chapter 576: False Accusation of Li Jing (Chapter 3)
During this period of time, the entire Chang'an City can have twists and turns, first the army went thousands of miles into the expedition and there was no news, and the whole country was worried.
Subsequently, and the news of the end of the city came, the Tang army captured the last strength of Tuyuhun, the western expedition was a complete victory, Tuyuhun had no room for resistance, when the good news came, Chang'an City cheered.
The only regret is that Fu Yun, the old fox, escaped again, and he fled to the eight hundred miles of Han Sea, and the left leader led the guards and the firearms supervisor to pursue again, which made everyone worry about it.
After half a month of anxious waiting in the entire Chang'an City, the news finally came that the left leading guard and the firearms supervisor had returned victoriously and returned with the head of Zhi Fuyun.
Immediately, the whole country cheered, Tuyuhun, the old enemy, was finally defeated in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin ordered an immediate three-day boycott to celebrate the whole country.
In particular, with the disadvantage of 1,000 cavalry, the Tang Dynasty raised a banner of the Tang Dynasty, which scared away nearly 10,000 Khotanese cavalry, which made everyone talk about it.
However, before Li Shimin's comfortable days passed, the news of the Chishui Dao Army plundering the Tuoba tribe came again, and what made Li Shimin even more angry was that Li Daoyan was almost defeated and was rescued by Su Dingfang's 8,000 wounded soldiers.
"Li Daoyan is incompetent, and three thousand soldiers died innocently and unjustly!" Li Shimin roared angrily.
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were speechless one by one, and a lively westward expedition was almost called a laughing stock by Li Daoyan, but Li Daoyan was a child of the clan, and it was really inconvenient for the courtiers to express their opinions.
Li Shimin's heart was dripping blood, three thousand soldiers is not a small amount, not to mention the huge pension expenses for the time being, when he thought of the Tang Dynasty boy losing his life so unjustly, Li Shimin felt blushing, and he had no shame to explain to the parents of these soldiers.
"The Tuoba tribe dares to use force against my Tang Dynasty! It is really unforgivable, and I ask Your Majesty to order the pacification of the Tuoba tribe, otherwise my Tang soldiers will be cold. Qin Qiong said with an angry face.
Other militaries have echoed one after another, and now that the Tang army has even wiped out Tuyuhun, there is no rival in the Western Regions, and suddenly suffered such a big loss in the hands of Tuoba Chici, how can he give up.
"Never! This matter is the fault of my Datang first, if I raise an army to crusade against the Tuoba tribe again, how will the people of the world see my Datang. The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said, he knows Li Shimin best, knows that Li Shimin values the name of Tian Khan the most, and votes for his favorites.
Many civil officials agreed.
The entire court is also divided into two factions, one is advocating armed crusade, and the other is wanting to take care of the reputation of the Tang Dynasty and let go of the Tuoba tribe.
Li Shimin hesitated suddenly, this matter is related to his reputation in Tian Khan, and it is also related to the reputation of the Tang Dynasty in the northwest tribes, but he is not willing to let him suffer a dumb loss like this.
Just when the entire court was arguing, suddenly an imperial historian suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, the front-line Lizhou Assassin Shi Gao Yingsheng sued Li Jing, the governor of Xikaidao, to support the army and respect himself, sell his reputation and reputation, favor foreign races, and have the intention of rebellion." ”
As soon as Yushi's voice fell, there was an uproar.
Li Jing is the military god of the Tang Dynasty, and the general manager of the Western Expedition, holding the most elite troops of the Tang Dynasty.
"Gao Yongsheng?" Li Jing's face changed, and he asked rhetorically.
"Your Majesty, Gao Yongsheng also attacked the Ulan tribe and was punished by General Li." Qin Qiong bowed and said.
The ministers immediately looked at each other, rumors about Li Jing's rebellion have been circulating in the court, and the biggest reason is that Li Jing's soldiers are too strong, and once the rebellion is probably no one can resist.
And this time, Gao Yongsheng reported that Li Jing punished the two for attacking the party and tribe, and this kind of biased behavior did offend the sensitive nerves of the court.
"Your Majesty, Gao and Li have indeed violated military orders, and there is nothing wrong with General Li punishing them." Qin Qiong bowed and said.
"Yes, the military order is like a mountain, our army's expedition is already difficult, Gao Li and the others did not hesitate to violate the military order in order to risk leading the army, and they should have been punished!" Wei Chigong said loudly.
Many generals also echoed the words, and they condemned Gao and Li for their heartbroken behavior.
Yu Shi, who had spoken before, bowed his head and suddenly showed a strange smile, many generals defended Li Jing one after another, and they didn't know what was going on, the more people who supported Li Jing, the more dangerous Li Jing's exit became.
Li Shimin said expressionlessly: "How do you think Aiqing should deal with this matter. ”
For a moment, there was silence.
"Since this matter has been reported in the history of the high thorn, the imperial court naturally wants to find out and verify it, and it is good to return General Li's innocence!" Fang Xuanling said helplessly, he is the head of the hundred officials, so he naturally wants him to come forward at this time.
"Weichen seconded!" The eldest grandson Wuji echoed.
"The ministers seconded it!"
The ministers chimed in.
"In this case, Dali Temple Qing ......" Li Shimin was about to give an order, when suddenly a guard entered the Taiji Hall directly.
"Your Majesty, the front line is eight hundred miles urgent!" The guard shouted.
Since the beginning of the Western Expedition, Li Shimin has already ordered that everything about the Western Expedition can be directly reported to the Taiji Hall and no one can stop it.
The hearts of the ministers were tight, the eight-hundred-mile rush would only be used when there was a war, and now that Fu Yun had been ambushed, and Tuyuhun had been pacified, how could there be a war, could it be that what Gao Yongsheng told was true!
Li Shimin's eyes shrank, and with a gesture of his hand, Pang De immediately took the emergency report and handed it to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin opened it and looked at it, and when he saw the content of the urgent report, his face immediately relaxed, and Li Shimin read the urgent report for a quarter of an hour.
"I wonder what is going on on on the front line?" Fang Xuanling said tentatively at the signal of the hundred officials.
Li Shimin laughed, handed over the urgent report in his hand to the hundred officials and circulated: "Your Tuoba tribe has been pacified, and Tuoba Chi will arrive in the capital in the near future." ”
"Really?"
Fang Xuanling and hundreds of officials rushed to circulate the emergency report.
"The national interest is paramount!"
"Anyone who dares to swing a knife at Datang is an enemy!"
"It is Your Majesty's business to forgive Tuoba Chici, and our task is to send Tuoba Chici to see Your Majesty!"
……………………
In the rush of eight hundred miles, the impassioned words suddenly aroused the pride of the entire court.
"The National Interest!"
The more Li Shimin tasted this sentence, the more he felt that it was meaningful, and I am afraid that these four words can be used as the standard of action for Datang in the future.
The generals also can't help but be proud and full of passion, when the Eastern Turks waved their swords to our Tang Dynasty, the Eastern Turks were destroyed and Jieli Khan was captured and entered the capital, and the moving Hu Xuan dance is still unforgettable.
Tuyuhun dared to swing a knife at Datang, Fu Yun's head was on the way to Datang, not to mention that you, a small Tuoba tribe, had the courage to provoke Datang.
The civil official's eyes lit up, so as to eliminate the Tuoba tribe that dared to provoke the authority of the Tang Dynasty, and to maintain the credibility of the Tang Dynasty.
Many civil officials have already thought in their minds about how to reward Tuoba Chici with all kinds of illusory titles when Tuoba Chici was sent to Chang'an City, just as they did with Jieli Khan back then.
As for the mention of the confiscation of the iron armor of the various party departments in the Eight Hundred Miles Expeditious, it did not cause any waves in the imperial court at all.
"The case of Gao Yingsheng suing General Li ......." The eldest grandson Wuji asked tentatively, since Li Jing had already broken through the Tuoba tribe, the matter of Gao Yingsheng suing Li Jing for his intention to rebel against him was naturally self-defeating.
"It's just nonsense, General Li is loyal to the country, and he does not hesitate to go on a thousand-mile expedition for the sake of state affairs, so hard work, how can he let others slander him, come to someone, send an envoy to Lanzhou, and immediately dismiss Gao Yongsheng and Li Daoyan from their posts on the spot, and escort them back to Chang'an City to be handed over to the three divisions for trial!" Li Shimin shouted.
