Chapter 247: I Resign

Turned his head and stared at Changsun Chong twice, his eyes were fierce, and then let him go, pointing to the few people kneeling on the ground: "There are still these few, take them down for me to check." When to find out, when to release it. ”

When the guards came up to arrest people, Li Dongsheng stood quietly, as if he had nothing to do with him. But no one here dared to underestimate him, Li Dongsheng used to give people the feeling of weakness, as long as he found his fault, he would only passively defend, this time he actually took the initiative to take people to the ditch, and then His Majesty's hand was removed.

Now that this court argument has just begun, the official position of a superintendent with a few little guys is about to add a preface. This combat power is okay! The eldest grandson glanced at other people, meaning that you will come up and impeach again! It's a pity that there are no fools at this time, Your Majesty saw that you were his nephew's son-in-law and let you go, who is on who is dead now? We don't want to be a gunman, we want to be on your own, we don't do it anyway.

The hall turned out to be very quiet, as if the previous snowflake-like impeachment of Li Dongsheng did not exist, Li Shimin looked at the faces of the ministers and wanted to laugh a little, Li Dongsheng actually used ingenious means to deter these guys. He squinted his eyes and said, "Don't divert the topic, we're talking about you killing the captives of the Western Regions Alliance who have surrendered." Tell me about the specifics. ”

Li Dongsheng told the story of the incident, without exaggeration or fiction, as if he was a bystander to speak objectively, he knew that Li Shimin must know all the details of the matter, and when the ministers present heard that Li Dongsheng actually spent money to recruit people to drive all the captives from the Western Regions to the lake, they all gasped, and then looked at Li Dongsheng's calm face and calm tone, and came to a conclusion in his heart that this person is now a madman, and he has a fight with Bai Qiyou, who killed 400,000 Zhao troops.

After listening to Li Dongsheng's words, the eldest grandson Wuji was filled with righteous indignation: "Young and ruthless, since the Tibetan Turkic Coalition has surrendered, why do you bother to kill more, and you have no intention of repenting afterwards, Your Majesty, such a person must not be used again, please punish Your Majesty severely!" ”

As soon as his son came back and was promoted, he was almost taken to Dali Temple by Li Dongsheng's matter, the eldest grandson Wuji was very unhappy, at this time, seeing Li Dongsheng admit the facts, of course he had to stand up and make a statement.

The big guys all started to speak, and of course the people below wanted to say that the cold scene just now no longer existed, and they came out to accuse them more or less, anyway, they were cruel, cold-blooded and the like, as if Li Dongsheng was the devil in the world, and not killing it was not enough for the people to be angry.

"Lantian waits for you to confess?" It was Tang Jian who spoke, he endured it for a long time, and finally jumped out, and was put on a stand by Li Jing when he was in Pingxi Turkic, and he hated it for more than ten years.

Li Dongsheng was at a loss: "What is my crime?" ”

"You confessed in front of Your Majesty that you killed more than 20,000 captives, isn't it a crime?" Tang Jian was heartbroken: "No wonder Lord Changsun said that you have no intention of repenting, you killed so many people, aren't you afraid of God's punishment, and you didn't wake up scared when you dreamed back at night?" Where have you read all your books? ”

"Hahahaha!" Li Dongsheng pointed at Tang Jian and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Tang Jian was heartbroken by his laughter.

"I laugh at you for being pedantic!" Li Dongsheng was unceremoniously: "I said just now, some people are officials of my Tang Dynasty, but they are the heart of the enemy!" ”

Li Dongsheng stood up: "Your Majesty, I have been in the office for ten years, and now there are some things that are not unhappy." Starting from the Ping Turks, as long as the front-line generals start a war, the civilian officials in the rear will have someone to point fingers, and no matter what, they have to take out a little thing and entangle it repeatedly. What they consider is whether the king of the enemy country has respect for my Datang, and whether their demands can be met? Moreover, the group rushed up, creating the illusion of advancing and retreating together, to threaten and deceive His Majesty. Because they are sacrificing His Majesty's reputation, the happiness of His Majesty's family, and the interests of the people of the Tang Dynasty, what they get is their so-called fame. ”

"Take Tubo as an example, first attack me Songzhou in the front, and then ask me to marry the princess and relatives in the Tang Dynasty, and the shameless civil officials in the court and the central government actually agree to such a request, which is equivalent to beating you up alone, and then asking you to marry your daughter to him, and also paste a rich dowry. Fortunately, His Majesty did not agree with them, so why would they agree? Because I married His Majesty's daughter, it has nothing to do with them! ”

"This is the kind of person who colludes with the Tibetans and the Turks, and they don't consider how much harm the Tibetan and Turkic invasions have brought to the people of the Tang Dynasty, nor do they consider the pain and death encountered by the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in killing the enemy on the frontier. On the contrary, he is very concerned about the death of the enemy, which is not ridiculous, he is strict with his own people, he is merciful to the enemy, and he always wants to use the truth in the book to influence the enemy. It's really stupid to read books. ”

"Yes, I killed more than 20,000 prisoners of war, but I just think I killed the right one, and I killed it well. It is to get rid of your idea of living in peace with the enemy, and if you are not of our race, your heart will be different, this is what the sage said. Am I killing the enemy by mistake? You know that I captured 8,000 Turks in the first battle of Puchanghai, and when Gaochang defended the city, there was no one to take care of them and let them back. How many of them later participated in the siege of Gaochang City? Li Dongsheng stared at Tang Jian with blazing eyes, and the latter tilted his head weakly: "All 8,000 people participated, and none of them were as hard as you imagined. ”

"So I swore at the time, as long as I survived and won this battle, then I would not leave a single prisoner, and if the enemy died, maybe my Tang army would survive. Now that I have finished speaking, Your Majesty, I am ashamed to be an official in the same dynasty as these fellows who can only fight in the nest, and now I will resign from all official positions and titles, and ask Your Majesty for your permission! ”

Then he said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Lord eldest grandson, as an elder, you often say bad things about me in front of Your Majesty for the matter of eldest grandson Chong, but this matter is a major matter between countries, not child's play, you are already a very human minister, but you can't be selfish because of the contradiction between me and eldest grandson Chong!" ”。

The eldest grandson Wuji almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, he was dissatisfied with Li Dongsheng, and uncomfortable with him pressing his son, but he was also a prime minister, or His Majesty's brother-in-law, Li Dongsheng spoke so unceremoniously to him in public, and backhanded a hat of communiqué and personal vendetta on his head. His eyes were full of fire: "Lantian is waiting for you to speak so wildly... ”

Li Dongsheng didn't pay attention to him at all, since Changsun Chong stood up to impeach him today, he and the Changsun family have completely formed a feud, only you are allowed to impeach me, and I am not allowed to talk back? Where is there such a good thing, I am not your old man, I have to get used to you. He still said to Li Shimin: "Please Your Majesty grant my request!" ”
