Li Xiao said that a soldier cannot die by the sword of his own people.

Wang Fangyi was silent, Cheng Boxian was silent, and Xue Chuyu was also silent······ Although a day ago, they were still meeting each other in Lanxi, fighting for life and death.

Everyone has no smiling faces, the joy of being knighted and promoted is gone, and everyone regrets that Zhao Zhiman is such a fierce general.

"You can't let Zhao Zhiman die in Chang'an."

This is the first time Li Xiao doesn't know what to say to everyone.

A general like Zhao Zhiman is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, he has shed blood and been injured for the empire, and he should not die in Chang'an.

Li Xiao did what he said, and he immediately borrowed a pen and paper from the officials of the Ministry of Officials and began to write a recital to the emperor. In fact, this is Li Xiao's first recital, and he doesn't even know the basic format of the cantata, but this doesn't affect him.

At this time, he only felt that he was full of blood, and he had to do this thing.

When he returned to the Tang Dynasty, all he originally thought about was how to be a leisurely little landlord, hiding in the countryside of Lanxi, in the foothills of the Qinling Mountains, and enjoying the comfort brought to him by the strength of the Tang Empire.

And now, he feels that he needs to contribute his own strength to Datang, such as him offering corn seeds, and now saving Zhao Zhiman.

The Tang Empire was able to be so strong because of countless aristocratic officers like Zhao Zhiman, as well as countless ordinary people like Qin Xiong.

In the turmoil in Lanxi, Zhao Zhiman was a sinner.

But in the past, Zhao Zhiman was a hero of the Tang Dynasty.

The comfort of the Tang Dynasty that Li Xiao enjoys today also has a credit to Zhao Zhiman.

Heroes should not be forgotten, their exploits should be remembered.

Li Xiao wrote very excitedly, and even wrote half-literate, lacking pen and drawing, he wrote a long foldout in one go.

Wang Fangyi and Cheng Boxian also wrote a book of noble children, both noble children, Zhao Zhiman was their brother before, was their idol, and he was full of sympathy for Zhao Zhiman's current situation.

And Qin Xiong and Li Yuanfang, as ordinary soldiers, were not all jealous or jealous of the children of nobles like Zhao Zhiman, they also admired a brave aristocratic officer like Zhao Zhiman.

The officials of the Ministry looked at the eight newly promoted lords with some surprise, and watched each of them have a pen, each of them silent, biting his lip and waving a pen.

When they heard that these eight were writing a recital to the emperor to intercede for Zhao Zhiman, everyone was even more surprised. They were still fighting Zhao Zhiman yesterday, and it was they who captured Zhao Zhiman alive, but today they pleaded with the emperor for him.

Temple of Manna.

Li Zhi and Wu were chatting while eating pastries, and he laughed about how happy Li Xiao was when he was knighted, saying that he was actually a layman.

also said that this time Xue Cheng and several young generals were even more loyal to him.

"Wang Fangyi is the queen's brother, has Your Majesty forgotten?"

Li Zhi laughed a few times, "In fact, although Wang Fangyi is the queen's brother, he is a rare talent, and the emperor admired him very much back then. In the past few years since I ascended the throne, I have been pressuring Wang Fangyi to prevent him from taking up his position, but I think this person has never complained about me, and he has served me diligently, which is commendable. I want to use him, and I can't just sit him idle like this forever. ”

Wu was not very happy, it can be seen that the emperor said so, and she did not continue to say anything.

"Your Majesty, Hong'er is almost three years old now, didn't Your Majesty say that he would make him the crown prince, why hasn't there been any movement recently?" Wu asked.

Li Zhi frowned, "This matter is not easy to handle, I have also tested the reaction of the prime ministers before." The eldest grandson Wuji is resolutely opposed, and even Yuwenjie and others also say that the crown prince Li Zhong is not a big mistake, and it is not wise to abolish the prince easily. ”

The crown prince Li Zhong and the acting king Li Hong are both children who are only a few years old, who can see which is virtuous or not at this time, besides, neither of them is a descendant, so the older Li Zhong is the eldest and the first prince, so naturally it is not easy to talk about abolishing the establishment.

In fact, Li Zhi knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to abolish Li Zhong, he had to abolish Queen Wang first, but if he wanted to abolish Queen Wang, the Guanlong faction on the side of the eldest grandson Wuji would not agree, and even Queen Wang had the support of the Shandong Shi clan behind her.

It's not a good thing to do without some good reason.

Li Zhi doesn't mind abolishing Queen Wang, nor does he mind abolishing the crown prince Li Zhong, he is also willing to make the Wu clan the queen and Li Hong the crown prince, but now even Li Ji refuses to express his position on this matter.

Even the military boss Li Ji didn't say anything, and even the prime minister like Yuwenjie who stood on his side didn't support him, and Li Zhi was helpless.

"Your Majesty, eight people, including Li Xiao, a man from Lantian County, Cheng Boxian, a man from Jingyang County, and Wang Fangyi from Pingyao County, played."

Li Zhi raised his head, "But thank you?" Put it aside, I look back. ”

The chamberlain lowered his head and said, "Li Xiao, a man from Lantian County, and eight other people played a plea for Zhao Zhiman, asking His Majesty to pardon his capital crimes, allow him to guard the border passes, and make meritorious contributions to his crimes." ”

Hearing this, Li Zhi was surprised.

"There is such a thing, and the chapter is brought."

Li Zhi flipped through the eight movements, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became. Especially this Li Xiao, he actually said that Zhao Zhiman was like a hero, why can't he let this kind of imperial hero die by his own sword.

Li Zhi was very dissatisfied, and the few words of the Wu family just now made him feel a little blocked in his heart.

And now that Li Xiao has just been named a baron, he doesn't know how many catties and taels he has, and he dares to accuse him of not killing Zhao Zhiman.

Does he know who Zhao Zhiman is?

Zhao Zhiman is a relative of the eldest grandson Wuji and Han Jin, and he executed Zhao Zhiman not only because Zhao Zhiman privately transferred troops and horses, but also because he was the person of the eldest grandson Wuji and Han Jin.

"Humph!"

After reading it, Li Zhi threw the piece aside and ignored it. If it weren't for the meritorious work of Li Xiao and a few others, he would have intentionally sent a messenger to scold a few people for blood.

Dali Temple.

Prison.

Li Yifu, the secretary of the ministry, was ordered to come to interrogate Zhao Zhiman.

Several officials of Dali Temple pulled Zhao Zhiman over, and after only half a day's effort, the peerless general who had killed the tiger with both fists and kicked over the war horse with one kick had no color at this time.

All kinds of torture inflicted on him left him covered in blood and not a single good flesh on his body.

"Pour a bucket of water on him." Li Yifu snorted coldly.

A bucket of ice water was splashed, and Zhao Zhiman woke up.

"Say, how did you, Chu Suiliang, and the eldest grandson Wuji plot to rebel."

"The eldest grandson Xiangguo and Chu Xiang are the prime ministers of the imperial court, how can they talk about rebellion?"

"But if you privately accept Chu Suiliang's order to use troops and horses, you are plotting rebellion, let's talk about it, tell me the specific experience." Li Yifu stared at Zhao Zhiman. The emperor had already ordered Zhao Zhiman to be beheaded, and Chu Suiliang was also demoted to Tanzhou, but Li Yifu was still dissatisfied, and he felt that he could still dig it out.

If Zhao Zhiman can confess a case of rebellion, and pull Chu Suiliang and the eldest grandson Wuji into the water, it will be a great achievement.

He didn't hesitate to do this kind of thing. Chu Suiliang also did this to Liu Xun back then, and the eldest grandson Wuji also concocted the case of Fang Yiai's rebellion in this way, and snare Li Daozong, Zhi Lost Sili, Xue Wanche, and Li Ke.
