"Look at you, what do you look like, where do you think you are, who do you think you are? I thought this was a vegetable market, but I thought you were still the blacksmith? ”

The emperor's questioning made Wei Chigong sober up.

He looked around and lowered his guilty head, knowing that he had caused trouble on the spur of the moment.

Luo Cheng didn't rush to his throne, he stood in the center of the main hall, pointed at Wei Chigong's nose and scolded him, "The north has just been pacified, and the world has not yet been unified, and you generals have begun to fly high?" A few days ago, I was still discussing the matter of sealing with the prime ministers, but look at the current situation, a group of princes actually beat up at the palace banquet! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is wrong."

Wei Chigong regretted it so much that he knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty.

"You're wrong, and you're wrong. Severe punishment must be given to keep you awake. Wen waited for the edict, immediately drafted the edict, Wei Chigong was demoted to the founding prince of Mayi County, the food was reduced to 800 households, the official was demoted to the county lieutenant of Xiping County, and the general was demoted to the rank of general scattered from the Wupin guerrilla, and he went out of Beijing to take up his post three days later. ”

With such a heavy degradement, Wei Chigong didn't dare to say a word.

He also had a period of time with the emperor, and he knew that the emperor sometimes had a faster attack and a more urgent attack, but the less he really took it to heart.

From a third-rank military general to a loose rank under the fifth rank, and then to a fourth-rank county lieutenant, from the central court to Qinghai Lake, this strength is not insignificant.

But the emperor scolded so heavily just now, and the current disposition actually leaves room for it, at least to go to Xiping County to serve as the county lieutenant, which is still a real power errand. After all, after the unification of the north, the imperial court began to recuperate, although it was not enough to engage in military cultivation, but it did readjust the civil, military, and military affairs.

At the first level of the province, there are not only three divisions and six envoys, but also the county level is also the chief civil affairs and county lieutenant, who is responsible for military soldiers and horses, and divides civil and military affairs.

didn't degrade him to go to the local place to serve as a long history or Sima, it really left room for it.

"Lieutenant Chi respectfully obeys, thank you!"

"Stand down!"

Wei Chigong didn't have the face to stay to participate in the banquet anymore, and retired, but the emperor allowed it.

Li Mi stood aside with a blushing face, looking at Wei Chigong, the emperor's henchman, who was punished so heavily, knowing that he would not be able to do well today.

"Your Majesty, please plead."

Luo Cheng glanced at Li Mi, "It's good to know that you are guilty, I treat you well, and I hope you can understand." Now remove you from the post of Taichangqing, and then demote you to the ordained marquis! ”

Originally, he was the Duke of Pushan County, and this title was still the family title of their Li family, but now he has been suddenly reduced to an ordained marquis, and this title has a clear meaning.

But Li Mi can't be unhappy yet, and he can't come forward to thank him.

"Keep 500 real food estates with you, and study and reflect at home."

Luo Cheng went over and looked at Li Daozong's eyes, "Imperial Doctor!" ”

The imperial doctor came up to see it and said that the injury was not light, but if it was treated in time, it would save the eyes, but it would definitely be visually impaired in the future, and it was estimated that it would not be able to withstand the wind in the future.

"Li Daozong, I have appointed you as the Sima of Daifang County, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, you will go to Xu Shiji of Daifang County in Andong to work there, do things with peace of mind, and don't live up to the expectations of the court and me."

Li Daozong was also unjustified today, he was almost blinded in one eye, and as a result, he was demoted to North Korea as a Sima, and even the emperor didn't even make a gesture to appease him.

As for Li Shimin, Luo Cheng just glanced at him, and then snorted and forgot it.

Li Shimin was enraged by this cold snort.

"It's not fair!"

Luo Cheng turned his head, "What do you mean by fairness?" ”

"Wei Chigong was arrogant and domineering, beating officials, but he just degraded the officials painlessly. Is it fair that Li Daozong has no reason to be exiled to North Korea? ”

Luo Cheng thought for a moment.

"I have previously prepared to establish Woye County, Huaishuo County, Wuchuan County, Fuming County, Rouxuan County, Huaihuang County and Yuyi County on the basis of the original six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty, north of Yinshan and Yanshan. These seven counties guard the northern frontier fortress, and they need to be a fierce general, Li Shimin, to cut off your title, demote you to the Sima of Wuchuan County, and go to the northern border to defend the frontier. ”

Li Shimin looked at the emperor coldly, "Aren't you afraid that I will rebel after I go to Wuchuan?" Or a direct defection to the Turks or Tielers? ”

From the clouds to the north out of the road, the east from Jinyang through the clouds, Huaihuang to the desert. In the west, a road from the clouds through the fertile field, Yanshan to the desert.

In the middle is Wuchuan, on the Yin Mountain Road.

The ancients all said that the north of Yinshan Mountain is the Gobi Desert, the Gobi is thousands of miles from east to west, and thousands of miles from north to south.

Deyin Mountain, take the height and look, the traces are seen, so the six towns are important places.

The Northern Wei Dynasty believed that Shuozhou was the key point of the White Road, and if it was not complete here, it would be in danger, Wuchuan became the barrier to the north of Shuozhou, and the fertile field was located in the Hetao Plain, which was an important pasture of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so the six towns were extremely important to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Although Great Qin broke through the Turks in the north and brought all the places south of Yinshan under its direct jurisdiction, Luo Cheng still believed that the defense line must be pushed to the north of Yinshan, so after discussing with the prime ministers for a long time, it was decided not to build the Great Wall, but to set up seven counties on the northern border from the north of Yinshan to the north of Yanshan.

Then build a city fortress, establish a pasture for the imperial court, and develop cattle in the tuntian, garrison immigrants, and defend the territory.

Directly build the frontier castle in the south of the desert, so that after the grassland tribes in the north of the desert cross the desert with yellow sand, they have no foothold and cannot threaten the northern frontier.

Areas that can adapt to farming, such as Yunzhong and Hetao, will become stable agricultural areas that are not invaded.

In order to show the re-enactment, Luo Cheng made an exception to set up these newly established places as counties.

Li Shimin's ancestor was once a soldier in Wuchuan Town, and later his great-grandfather Li Hu became a member of the Guanlong Group and became the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty. Now Emperor Luo Cheng asked him to go to the newly established Wuchuan County to serve as Sima.

Luo Cheng smiled.

"Since I dare to let you go, I don't have to worry about that. Of course, if you really can't think about it and do these stupid things, then there will be no trouble for me, only you. ”

The seats of the returning Hou Wang Shichong and the disobedient Hou Dou Jiande were next to each other, but the two of them just drank and watched the play from beginning to end, but they did not mean to intervene.

Dou Jiande, who was originally the Marquis of Chongli, did not return in time, and finally surrendered and was sealed as a disobedient marquis, but fortunately, it was Cao Bao who resisted the Qin army in the end, so he could still stay rich and noble after surrendering.

Dou Jiande didn't care about what to bring Sima of Fang County, County Lieutenant of Xiping County, and Sima of Wuchuan County, he knew very well that although he had surrendered to Qin, he was the same as Li Mi and Wang Shichong, and it was difficult for him to gain the real trust of Emperor Luo Cheng of Qin in this life, let alone give them any real and important positions.

It would be good to be able to take a spare job in Chang'an and live the second half of your life in peace and stability.

Wang Shichong couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Li Shimin could not do anything to contradict the emperor like this, "Li Yuan really can't figure it out, if he returns to Qin, how can he not lose a prince who obeys his orders." ”

Dou Jiande ignored him, and just poured himself another glass of wine.

The wine entered the throat and was full of bitterness.
