Chapter 508 - Disposal (II)

Li Qing is taking advantage of loopholes, and he can't admit that he recruited troops without permission, once he admits it, it will be a dead end, as long as he can fool this one over, the rest is easy to say.

"Since the prince said that the soldiers recruited were government soldiers, the armor, weapons, and war horses used by the army were all important materials that were prohibited from being sold, and the equipment of the palace soldiers and guards of the palace was purchased from the Military Affairs Yuan, and the prince's armament did not seem to be recorded by the Military Affairs Yuan, which was the smuggling income of the prince, which is a capital crime; I also asked the prince to give an explanation to the official. Gao Wei asked Li Qing.

"The location of the guards of the palace organized by this king is located in the depths of the Yanshan Mountains, according to the national boundary divided by the battle between our Great Xia Empire and the Liao State, the location of the Yanshan camp is not in the territory of our Great Xia Empire, but in the territory of the Liao State; And all the weapons used by this king's palace soldiers and guards are from the Liao State, and they are not smuggled from the territory of our Great Xia Empire, and this king has not privately built weapons, so this does not violate the laws of my Great Xia Empire......"

"What is the explanation for the smuggling between our country, the Liao Kingdom, the Goryeo Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom, and the Great Song Dynasty?" Zhou Wentai asked Li Qing.

"This king is involved in smuggling, and the scale is very large, this king admits it, but after entering my Great Xia Empire, all the commercial taxes of this king have not been paid a penny......

……

In the face of all kinds of questions raised by the four people, Li Qing explained them one by one, and all the answers Li Qing was taking advantage of loopholes, and his purpose was also very clear, that is, not to admit any crimes, because only in this way could he save his life, as long as he could survive, Li Qing would still have a lot of chances.

After half a month of interrogation, the four sessions of the trial finally ended, this morning of the day, Li Xiaoren took the four halls of the trial into the hall of the council, today for the interrogation of Li Qing, the king of Guangyang, Li Xiaoren to make a final report, but for the results of the report even Li Xiaoren himself felt too ridiculous.

"Your Majesty has arrived at ......"

"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live......"

Li Liangzuo made it to the dragon chair and said to everyone: "Zhong Aiqing, do you have something to do?" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to report."

"Quasi-play."

Li Xiaoren continued: "Your Majesty, the trial of King Guangyang has ended, and the results of these four sessions are previewed. ”

Xiao Fuzi took the fold and presented it to Li Liangzuo, Li Liangzuo opened the fold and looked at it, Long Yan said angrily: "This is your four sessions of trial, this is your explanation to me, Li Xiaoren, you read it to me, this is your explanation to me." ”

Li Xiaoren picked it up and read it to the ministers: "After the results of the four halls, it is preliminarily judged that His Royal Highness the King of Guangyang has not violated any laws, so he has come to the following conclusions, His Royal Highness the King of Guangyang is only guilty of sending troops without permission......"

"That's enough, is this the final result of your four congregations' trial to me? How can I hand over this result to the people of the world? ”

"Your Majesty is angry, the result of the trial is indeed so, according to the "Tiansheng Law Order", "Sect Law" and His Majesty's holy decree, the fault made by the King of Guangyang is not big, Weichen can only say that the soldiers of the King of Guangyang are overstaffed, not privately recruited, and the weapons, armor, horses, grain and grass used by his personal guards are not purchased from the territory of my Great Xia Empire, so there is no criminal responsibility for reselling prohibited items......"

After listening to Li Xiaoren's explanation, Li Liangzuo said with a gloomy face: "Speaking of which, Li Qing is not only innocent but meritorious, and someone came to escort Li Qing in." ”

After Li Qing was escorted in, Li Liangzuo walked to Li Qing's side and said, "Okay, you little rabbit cub, okay!" I haven't learned anything else, I've learned to talk nonsense, I've learned to take advantage of loopholes, have I? If you insist on saying that you are unreasonable, do you think that you can cover up the crimes you committed with your broken mouth? ”

"Death is forbidden, but living is inescapable; Someone dragged the king of Guangyang out to me and beat me with eighty military sticks. ”

Li Qing was dragged out by two soldiers, and soon the sound of Li Qing's stick was heard outside, but Li Qing's screams could not be heard, Li Liangzuo said loudly: "Give me a heavy beating, if you don't beat this rabbit cub out of the sound, all the executioners will be eighty boards." ”

With Li Liangzuo's strict order, soon Li Qing was beaten with skin and flesh, and the whole ass was opened, after the execution, Li Qing was carried in, because the butt was too painful Li Qing could only lie on the ground, Li Liangzuo issued an order again: "The king of Guangyang listens to the order, and from now on deposes Li Qing from the title of king of Guangyang, and goes to the Taimiao to face the wall and think, without my military order, you are not allowed to take a step out of the Taimiao." ”

"The Son's Decree ......"

"You are just a son now, not a minister, carry this rebel down to me, send him to the Taimiao, and find a royal doctor to see him by the way, as long as he can't die."

"Respectfully obey the ...... of His Majesty's Shengyu"

"Your Majesty, you have already disposed of the Six Princes, how to arrange the soldiers under the command of the original Six Princes, in addition to the more than 50,000 soldiers and guards who obeyed the orders of the Six Princes, there are also 150,000 old Liao Army troops incorporated by the Six Princes, a total of 200,000 troops, once it is not handled well, it is likely to cause chaos." Gao Wei said to Li Liangzuo.

"Your Majesty, although the six princes are at fault, they also have merit; In the battle of destroying Liao, our army gained a lot, but the losses were very small, among which the credit of the six princes was the greatest, since the mistakes of the six princes have been punished, the merit should also be rewarded by His Majesty. Zhou Wentai said.

"I'll talk about this later, lock him up for a few days, and this rabbit cub will turn the sky upside down if he doesn't care about it." Li Liangzuo's anger did not subside: "As for the 200,000 troops, all of them will be turned into government soldiers, and they will be handed over to Yan Shu and Zhao Ge first. ”

Li Liangzuo's holy decree is very interesting, Yan Shu is Li Qing's person, Zhao Ge was also recruited by Li Qing, these two people are Li Qing's henchmen, and now let the two of them command the 200,000 army, isn't it equivalent to letting Li Qing himself command! On the surface, although Li Qing lost the prince, was beaten hard, and was imprisoned in the Taimiao Temple, but the power in Li Qing's hands did not decrease but increased, and this right came from the 200,000 army.

"If there's nothing to do, let's retreat!" Li Liangzuo said.

"Your Majesty, Weichen still has one more matter." Li Xiaoren said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, although the Liao State has been destroyed now, the Liao army has not been completely wiped out, there is still a Liao army stationed in the area of Yongjing Military Town and Anling Town, they are now commanded by Xiao Yuanshan, its strength is no less than 100,000, and all of them are cavalry, and they are powerful in a hundred battles. ”

"Brother Huang didn't say it, I forgot about it, the Military Affairs Yuan directly sent someone to find Xiao Yuanshan and let him surrender." Li Liangzuo said calmly.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not easy for others to go to this matter, it's best to send the sixth prince to go in person." Li Xiaoren said.

"It's impossible to let him go, it's not the time yet, just do what I say!"

"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, please think twice! Once this Liao army surrenders to the Great Song Dynasty, it will be a great disadvantage to us! To be on the safe side, let's let the Six Princes go! ”

"If he doesn't descend, I'll kill him directly." Li Liangzuo said domineeringly.
