When Li Chengqian returned to his line, he saw Li Shimin wearing armor, standing alone on a high platform and pressing his sword, majestic and majestic, like a big mountain, suppressed above everyone's heads.

Wei Chigong and Xue Wanche also stood under the high platform with their helmets and armor, and beside them, dozens of soldiers with bright armor and bright armor were on both sides, jointly guarding the high platform.

Although it is spring, the courtyard is full of slaughter!

The ministers were all taken aback when they saw Li Shimin like this, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "The ministers see Your Majesty!" ”

Li Shimin looked condescendingly and quietly watched the ministers sweep over their heads, and he wanted to see who was disturbing the morale of the army.

The ministers were looked at by Li Shimin as if they were being stared at by a lion, and they kept bowing their bodies and did not dare to move a little, and the atmosphere in the compound was very depressing.

After a while, Li Shimin slowly spoke: "Cheng Qian, I heard that you found that someone was secretly spreading rumors to disturb the morale of the army?"

Li Chengqian had never seen Li Shimin look so solemn, and even if he spoke harshly in the past, he was not as terrible as he is today.

Li Chengqian immediately saluted again and replied: "Returning to my father, there is indeed a conspiracy to slander the martial arts of various ministries!"

"How did you deal with it?" Li Shimin's voice was indifferent, and he couldn't hear his emotions.

Li Chengqian said with a solemn expression: "Now only one Lingwu County official has surfaced, and Erchen has already sent Liu Ren to inspect the Lingwu County Order to continue the investigation.

Others were punished accordingly......"

Li Chengqian explained his disposition to Li Shimin in detail.

Li Shimin was noncommittal when he heard this, and said lightly to the ministers: "All the ministers are calm!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Only then did the ministers straighten up.

"What do you think of Cheng Qian's disposition?"

When Yang Hongli heard this, he was about to criticize Li Chengqian's killing for being too outdated, but he heard Li Shimin say quietly: "He is too young to understand the sinister hearts of people, and it is inevitable that he will be too tolerant in dealing with things. ”

"Ahh

The ministers were all shocked in their hearts, Li Shimin has governed the world like a stream of advice over the years, and sometimes they can endure it when they are sprayed with saliva, making them mistakenly think that Li Shimin is a generous elder.

They forgot that Li Shimin joined the army at the age of eighteen, and his control over the army has always been strict.

Now that he is still in Lingzhou City, some people dare to brazenly shake the morale of the army and assassinate the county commander, and it is an unforgivable provocation for anyone who dares to do such a thing except Li Chengqian.

Originally, Li Shimin thought that the recent rumors were only aimed at Li Chengqian and Wu Ju, but when Pei Xingjian informed Lingwu County that he had been killed, it immediately aroused Li Shimin's vigilance.

If it weren't for the great plan, why would he be in a hurry to kill people and kill people?

When the ministers heard Li Shimin say that Li Chengqian's handling was too lenient, they all felt that they didn't know Li Shimin a little.

Only Li Shiji had already prepared in his heart, and slowly knelt down when he heard the words, and then took off his official hat under the surprised gaze of the ministers: "Your Majesty, as the secretary of the military department, did not detect the conspiracy of the traitors, so that the army's heart was turbulent, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”

Li Shimin's face was gloomy and he didn't speak, just looked at the other ministers.

When the ministers saw Li Shimin's face, they no longer had the intention of suing Li Chengqian, and even Hou Junji was not so firm in his heart that he could use this to suppress Li Chengqian.

The ministers hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground, and glanced at Li Chengqian, as if to say, Look at the power of Lao Tzu!

Then the courtiers Nunu mouthed, and said coolly: "Cheng Qian followed me to drive the camp in the south of the city." ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "My father's ministers came all the way north to assist my father in destroying Xue Yantuo, and there is no merit and hard work. Although the traitors have a gap due to their negligence, in the end, they must also be given a chance to make meritorious contributions. ”

When Li Shimin and the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but secretly scold Li Chengqian for being too small, since they interceded with them, why didn't they all be exempted from the charges at one time, and they had to say that they were guilty of meritorious service?

Although Li Shimin hates the heart of the army, but he is not stupid, how can he indiscriminately condemn the ministers? This attitude is just to deter the ministers, make them shut up in the following matters, and give Li Chengqian another chance to show mercy.

Some ministers also knew this in their hearts, and they were waiting for someone to stand up and say, 'It's not the ministers' fault in this matter.'"

Who knew that Li Chengqian would be convicted of the crime as soon as he opened his mouth, how could people not hate?

But what can be done about hate, not accepting Li Chengqian's intercession, and saying that the minister is guilty and asks His Majesty to punish him?

Looking at the ugly faces of the ministers, Li Shimin squinted at Li Chengqian angrily and got on the war horse, he was going to live in the military camp in the south of the city tonight in case something happened to the army.

When Li Shimin arrived at the military camp in the south of the city, it was already late, and he had no time to do some moves to stabilize the morale of the army.

Just as Li Chengqian dealt with the affairs of the Yeli clan in Lingzhou City today, because of the night curfew in the military camp, it is difficult to spread the word throughout the military camp before tomorrow, and it cannot change what is about to happen tomorrow.

As for what Li Shimin was worried about, it would not happen, the opponent was really only targeting Li Chengqian this time, and Ye Li's matter was just a matter of hand.

After Li Chengqian followed Li Shimin to the military camp in the south of the city, he learned that Li Shimin had sent people to the military camp in advance to set up the camp tent.

Li Shimin recruited Li Chengqian and Li Shiji into the camp and asked solemnly: "What do you think about today's events?"

Li Shiji glanced at Li Chengqian and said directly: "This matter should be aimed at the military affairs of various ministries." ”

Li Shimin was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Is there still someone who colludes with various ministries?"

Li Shiji shook his head and said: "This minister doesn't dare to assert, the minister just thinks that these people are worried about His Royal Highness the Prince's actions to govern the northern frontier. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes widened and he snorted angrily: "Hmph! I am not anxious, what are they anxious about? Besides, they've all murdered the court officials right under my nose, and they're just worried?"

Li Shiji sighed in his heart and said secretly: The emperor is really suspicious.

But he had to continue to explain: "Last year, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also held an exam in Chang'an, and when he read the papers, he transcribed his name and his name was very strict, and he only entered the list based on his real talent.

Later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ran the Royal Military and Political Academy and only recruited meritorious soldiers in the army, and now he is going to hold a martial arts ceremony in Northern Xinjiang, which is to block the way for some people to enter the army!

What's more, there is gold and pasture in the north, if it is also ......", Li Shiji does not say that Li Shimin also understands that some people do not want the northern Xinjiang to be controlled by Li Chengqian.

Hearing this, Li Shimin turned his head to look at Li Chengqian, the look of appreciation in his eyes could not be concealed, and when he heard Li Shiji say it couldn't continue, Li Shimin continued to ask: "Mao Gong thinks that what Cheng Qian is doing is the right way?"

Li Shiji perked up when he heard this: "Just like the poems of His Royal Highness the Prince, 'If the sky is loved, the sky is also old, and the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life.'" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the world in mind and does what he does, and the ministers are very impressed. ”

Li Shimin nodded with emotion when he heard this: "It's rare that you can tell the truth, then help Cheng Qian handle things well." I will personally fight for you in the army, and see who dares to jump out. A cold light appeared in his eyes as he spoke.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian hurriedly stepped forward and said to Li Shimin: "Thank you, Father." ”

got up and bowed to Li Shiji again: "Thank you, Duke Ying." ”

Seeing this, Li Shiji hurriedly bowed down and said in fear: "The minister is a dog and a horse, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has tormented the minister." ”

To tell the truth, Li Chengqian never thought that Li Shiji, who was rated as a 'cunning thief' by later generations, would praise himself bluntly in front of Li Shimin.

Li Chengqian got up, Li Shiji bowed again, and was helped up by Li Chengqian, looking at him with a smile on his face.

Li Shiji said to Li Chengqian as soon as he got up: "In order to stabilize the morale of the army, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will announce those few things tonight." ”

Li Chengqian's eyes narrowed when he heard this: "No, it will be announced tomorrow morning that the Lone King will fish them out." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and said a plan to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin and Li Shiji both felt feasible when they heard it.

That night, Li Shimin, Li Shiji, and a cadre of leading generals all stayed in the army to stabilize the morale of the army.

On the other side, Laiji and Houjunji Li Junxian also got together, and they finally decided to challenge Li Chengqian tomorrow...... 8)
