In the barracks of the Flying Tiger Army, Wei Zheng stood at the gate of the barracks of the Third Army with two imperial historians, but he was blocked by the guards and couldn't enter the gate, so angry that he kept walking back and forth, panting in his mouth.

A soldier said: "Lord Wei, the affairs in the barracks are managed by their own military law, and you can't control the affairs in the barracks, so you might as well go back." "This guy seems to be here to get angry.

Wei Zheng was furious and angry, but he couldn't compete with a small soldier. He had to wait at the door, waiting for Li Chengqian to come and deal with it.

Inside the barracks, a group of noble children were gambling, and they gathered around the table, staring at the dice cups, shouting, "Big big", "Little little", and having fun.

A soldier came in and said, "Master Chang, Old Man Wei is still at the door, and he is so angry." ”

Chang Kuan's eyes stared at the dice cup, and he said without looking back: "Being ignored by him, he can't care about us." As he spoke, he grabbed a few notes and handed them to the soldier who had told the news.

The soldier smiled and said, "Thank you, Master Chang." ”

Chang Kuan and the others continued to play.

Li Chengqian received the report and came to the barracks of the Flying Tiger Army angrily, he saw Wei Zheng, asked what had happened, and saw a soldier running towards the barracks, he shouted: "You stop for me." The soldier wanted to report the news, and when he heard Li Chengqian's words, he hurriedly stood there obediently.

Chang Kuan and the others were having fun, and someone shouted: "It's so daring, stop for me." ”

Chang Kuan said without looking back: "Can you manage it?" ”

Li Dezhi stepped forward, kicked Chang Kuan down, and shouted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, Hugh has to be presumptuous." ”

Chang Kuan jumped, hurriedly got up and bowed, and the others also hurriedly saluted Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was really angry, he waved his horsewhip and whipped it on the table, and said angrily: "You are so bold that you dare to gamble in the barracks." ”

Chang Kuan said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the ministers are guilty, and they will never dare to do it again in the future." ”

Li Chengqian reprimanded them and said, "You bastards, if you dare to violate military law in the future, see if I don't clean you up ruthlessly." ”

Chang Kuan and the others saw that Li Chengqian's thunder was heavy and rainy, so they opened up to them and hurriedly said: "Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Xie is not guilty, and the ministers will never dare to do it again." ”

Li Chengqian said to Wei Zheng: "Lord Wei, just spare them this time, don't take an example." On the way here, he had already thought about it, he couldn't let Wei Zheng pursue the matter, otherwise, once he severely punished Chang Kuan and others, he would offend Chang He and others, and it was very likely that he would offend Li Shimin. After all, Chang He is Li Shimin's confidant.

Wei Zheng was extremely disappointed when he saw Li Chengqian handle this matter in this way. He said seriously: "His Royal Highness the Prince, is it so punished for soldiers violating military discipline in the barracks?" This Chang Kuan not only gathered people in the military camp to gamble, but also stole and sold the war horses in the army. This is not a trivial matter, and the minister requested that Chang Kuan and others be strictly subject to military law. ”

Li Chengqian pretended to be angry and said: "Chang Kuan, you dare to be so bold, come here, pull it out and give me a heavy 20 board." ”

"Wait." Wei Zheng said.

When Li Chengqian heard Wei Zheng stop him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said in his heart: "Isn't Wei Zheng quite sensible?" I also know to give me the stairs down. ”

As soon as he was about to speak, he heard Wei Zheng say: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, such a big crime as stealing and selling military supplies, is it just a matter of hitting 20 boards and it's over?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is requested to strictly enforce military law. ”

Li Chengqian said dissatisfiedly: "Lord Wei, what should I do with what you say?" ”

Wei Zheng asked: "Military judge, what is the crime of stealing military supplies?" ”

The military judge of the Flying Tiger Army looked at Li Chengqian and stopped talking.

Wei Zheng raised his voice and asked, "Judge Jun, don't you remember the provisions of the military law?" ”

The military judge gritted his teeth and said: "Stealing and selling military materials should be beheaded according to the law." ”

Chang Kuan and the others were startled, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Li Chengqian said: "Lord Wei, if you think they are first-time offenders, forget it this time, just beat 20 military sticks and punish them." I'm sure they won't dare to do it again. ”

Chang Kuan and the others hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank Your Royal Highness Prince for not killing him." ”

Wei Zheng said with a straight face: "No, if you don't follow the law, what's the use of setting up a military law?" ”

Li Chengqian said depressedly: "Otherwise, forget about 30 military sticks." "He still wants to be with the mud.

Wei Zheng didn't do it and said, "No, the dignity of the law must be maintained." ”

At this time, there was already a large group of officers and soldiers outside, and they all wanted to see how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince handled this matter. Most of the officers and men are the children of civilians, and they are not used to seeing the arrogant faces of the gentlemen. They were very disappointed when they saw Li Chengqian handle this matter so lightly.

Many officers and soldiers discussed: "This is the protection of officials and officials, I think the Flying Tiger Army is over." ”

"Yes, is this still the Flying Tiger Army, what did the original special operations team look like, and what does it look like now?"

"Alas, I came here because I heard that the Flying Tiger Army was the elite of the Tang Army, but I didn't expect it to be like this, I don't want to do it."

"That's it, I'm not going to do it anymore."

……

Li Dezhi heard the discussion of the officers and soldiers outside, and quietly muttered a few words in Li Chengqian's ear.

Li Chengqian also felt that his face could not be improved, and it seemed that if he did not deal with Chang Kuan, the Flying Tiger Army would fall apart.

Li Chengqian said in a heart: "Chang Kuan steals and sells military supplies, and he should be beheaded according to the law." Come on, detain Chang Kuan first, and execute him on a certain day. "He wants to detain Chang Kuan first and find an opportunity to exonerate him.

At this moment, a person came in outside, and the outfit was a member of the Sanpin General, who turned out to be Chang Kuan's father, Chang He. After he came in, he knelt on the ground all of a sudden, kowtowed and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gracious." ”

Li Chengqian is now riding a tiger, he looked at Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng pulled his face and ignored him. He said: "General Chang, you should still ask Lord Wei for mercy in this matter." "What he means is not that I embarrass you, but that Wei Zheng will not do it.

Wei Zheng and the two imperial historians were chilled for a while, and they were extremely disappointed in Li Chengqian: "A dignified prince actually shirks his responsibilities like this. ”

The officers and men who were watching also looked down on Li Chengqian.

Chang He asked Wei for intercession, but Wei Zheng was not angry. He had no choice but to plead with Li Chengqian again, he kowtowed hard, blood stains appeared on his head, and he cried: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has three sons, two of whom have sacrificed their lives for the country, and there is only this one son left by his side." Look at the sacrifice made by Zaichen's family for the court, spare the minister's last son. "His two sons were killed in battle during the conquest of the Eastern Turks and Tibet, respectively.

Chang He's cry aroused the sympathy of many people, and Li Chengqian's heart softened, and he said: "Beat Chang Kuan with 30 military sticks, and allow him to wear the crime and make meritorious contributions." The matter was settled. ”

Most of the onlookers were disappointed, feeling that there was no hope for the Flying Tigers.

At this moment, someone shouted, "His Royal Highness King Qi has come down." ”
