In the palace, Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and Li Chengqian, Wu Zetian and Zheng Liwan were having breakfast.

On the side are Xue Rengui, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yanjin, Cheng Chumo, Du Gou, Fang Yizhi, Yu Chi Baolin and others.

They stood on the left and right, and as for the other civil and military officials, they had never come, and after welcoming Li Chengqian today, they performed their duties, because daily affairs could not be wasted.

Otherwise, the entire Datang will operate, and I am afraid that there will be mistakes, which will not be good.

At the same time, the group was waiting to eat.

After finishing, Cheng Yanjin pulled Cheng Chumo and stood up.

Let him kneel directly in front of everyone.

Faced with such a situation, Li Shimin was puzzled.

"Zhijie, why are you doing this?"

After arranging an army of 300,000 people, Cheng Bingjin returned early. After coming back, he learned about Cheng Chumo, and he also knew that his children had caused a big accident and caused too many casualties to the army. It's a big deal, and it's going to be punished.

As for Li Chengqian, who stayed in Tibet for several days, during this period of time, no one was punished in the entire palace.

And Cheng Yanjin's purpose in doing this is very obvious.

That is the mistake that Cheng Chumo made in Tubo some time ago, and now it is about to be liquidated.

"Your Majesty, my son Chu Mo has not made great achievements for a period of time before, but he has made a lot of mistakes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never punished him, just when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returns, he should also be punished, in order to correct the army's heart!"

Regarding the military heart, Cheng Yanjin understands very well that this is an absolute fairness, if Cheng Chumo is not punished, then I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction.

Once they are not convinced, the army's morale will be unstable and their combat strength will be defeated.

Why did the people below make mistakes and be punished, but you, as Cheng Bitingjin's child, should be exempted from punishment?

How unconscionable it is!

When the Son of Heaven made a mistake, he was still guilty of the same crime as the common people.

How can he be exempt from punishment?

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to be punished!"

Cheng Chumo didn't have any evasion, he faced up to this punishment.

Li Shimin was puzzled, what was going on here.

"Gao Ming, it's up to you! After all, the army was brought out by you. And what did Chu Mo do, you know, this point, I don't participate in it. ”

Li Shimin is really good at being a man, so he handed over the matter to Li Chengqian to deal with.

"Yes! Father! ”

Li Chengqian stood up.

It was so long before the punishment that was not completed before, and it was because the enemy did not punish him in particular, and now it seems necessary to calculate it.

"In view of the mistakes made before the executioner, this king has decided to ......"

Li Chengqian paused for a while, he was thinking about how to punish him. Although there are ideas, the sentencing should be reasonable, not too heavy, not too light, that is not good!

Cheng Yanjin said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you don't have to be polite, just do what you should do!" You're welcome! ”

Cheng Chu glanced at his father silently, and there is such a thing? The prince naturally knows how to punish, so you won't be quiet?

But now in front of Li Shimin, he has to bow his head, he can't be too sharp, otherwise it will affect others.

So he chose to remain silent and waited for Li Chengqian's punishment.

"Uncle Cheng, don't worry, you can do whatever you want, this king will not be spared, and it will not be too heavy. This king will deal with it fairly! ”

After finishing, he said: "This king decided to punish Cheng Chumo, confined himself to his home to learn the art of war, and beat him with a rod for fifty. Cheng Biting Jin will deal with the cane beating, and stay on probation until he is qualified, and then he can go on the expedition! ”

Long ago, Li Chengqian had demoted Cheng Chumo, so this time, there was no need for him to demote again.

Fifty canes, ordinary people can't bear it, but Cheng Chumo has practiced martial arts, but it's okay, but he may not be able to go out for more than ten days, if this is the case, if Li Chengqian wants to go out, he can't keep up, which is also a kind of punishment.

Cheng Biting Jin was a little slight.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it's wrong for you to do this."

"Oh? Zhijie, what's wrong with Gao Ming? ”

Li Shimin asked curiously.

"This punishment should be brought by the army, what is it for me to do it?"

He is inwardly refused, why? Because he is Cheng Chumo's father, this Li Chengqian is really cruel, why let a father execute his own child? He doesn't want to be punished!

Li Shimin was silent. Empress Eldest Sun also didn't speak.

They also want to know why?

Why did Li Chengqian let Cheng bite Jin do this.

And Li Chengqian said: "The so-called son does not teach, the father's fault!" The reason why Uncle Cheng has today's punishment is that Uncle Cheng has an unshirkable responsibility, the so-called beating the son's body, the pain is in the father's heart, the punishment lies in the punishment, in fact, Uncle Cheng also has to be punished, and letting him hold the cane is also a punishment for him. ”

Saying this, Cheng Yanjin was directly speechless.

Because he is not wrong, all this is because he did not teach well, and if he had taught well, this would not have happened.

So, these fifty boards, you have to do it!

Li Shimin laughed.

"Gao Ming is right, Zhijie, you have to come! Others can't do it yet. ”

"This ...... Be! ”

Cheng Biting Jin can't help it, this cane is going to be settled.

"Do you have anything to say?"

Li Shimin asked again.

"No, no, no, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is doing very well, and the minister has nothing to say!"

Then Li Chengqian said: "Father, as for Su Lie and Wang Xuance who are traveling with you? ”

Although the credit of the two of them is great this time, it is still not very big.

The two of them and Xue Rengui are both champion generals, and now it is not time to be crowned officials again, because the military exploits are not enough, Cheng Yanjin has also worked hard for a long time before he sits in his current position.

And the two of them couldn't have climbed up so fast.

Therefore, Li Shimin has his own ideas.

Therefore, he said: "As for the merits of the two, it should be determined by the mastery!" ”

Li Chengqian glanced at Li Shimin and wanted to scold.

I thought that the entire high-ranking official position would be given to the two of them, but now it's good, Li Shimin kicked the ball towards himself.

He doesn't have a lot of power to seal the official, and the reward is okay.

In this case, Li Chengqian can only reward them with money, or some other material things.

Next time after accumulating military exploits, you have to discuss it with Li Shimin no matter what.

can't lose the two of them, and say that they have to raise their level again.

He has a greater say in the court.

From now on, he has to recruit his own people, otherwise when he controls power in the future, it will cause some unnecessary trouble, although the world is peaceful now, but no one can guarantee whether some people will make trouble in the future.

So he said, "Yes, father, the son must reward the two of them!" ”

Li Shimin laughed.

Then he asked: "Regarding the specific details of the department in Tibet, Gao Ming, you can talk to me." ”

In this way, the topic will be changed.

Li Chengqian said that Li Shimin is still very shrewd.

Impatient, then I had to turn the topic to Tibet.

He still had some people to reuse, so he opened his mouth.
