It is true that Xue Rengui's killing of prisoners made a lot of noise at the beginning, but after all, time has passed, and so many years have passed, even if there is a fault, it should be punished enough.

What's more, although there are not many people who know the truth about the events back then, the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall know it clearly, and the reason why Xue Rengui killed all the prisoners surnamed Tiele in a fit of anger was not because of his tyrannical temperament.

You must know that there was also a general named Zheng Rentai who went out with Xue Rengui to fight Tiele, although this general Zheng was not famous, he was Xue Rengui's benefactor.

In the desert, there is no water and no food, and the soldiers are so hungry that they fight and devour each other, almost like hell! The more than 10,000 soldiers led by General Zheng finally left only 800 people, but at the same time, it also dragged the enemy's main force for Xue Rengui and laid the foundation for the victory of the battle of Jiu surnamed Tiele.

But as soon as the war ended, General Zheng was so ashamed of what he had happened in the desert that he committed suicide.

And the prisoners that Xue Rengui killed at that time were all enemy troops who surrounded General Zheng in the desert at that time.

So this matter really doesn't count who is right or who is wrong, and it would be too far-fetched to attribute all the blame to Xue Rengui.

It's just that this matter is too sensitive, so in the end, in order to protect General Zheng's name, he kept it a secret!

But a few people in the political hall should know it clearly, since this is the case, Li Hong really doesn't understand why Dai Zhide still opposes Xue Rengui's expedition......

"Your Highness really doesn't mind letting General Xue take charge of the Shuai Yin? He is the person recommended by His Royal Highness King Yong......"

Unexpectedly, after Li Hong's words were asked, Dai Zhide and Zhang Wenqian glanced at each other, and finally Dai Zhide asked with a hint of hesitation.

This made Li Hong stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said.

"What is Master Dai talking about, the so-called internal move does not avoid relatives, and external moves do not avoid revenge, if General Xue can really provoke the Eastern Crusade, why should he care if he is recommended by the sixth brother!

What's more, if all the major affairs of the court are so biased because of their own selfishness, the prince who has been lonely for so many years will be in vain! ”

Seeing that Li Hong said so sincerely, Dai Zhide and Zhang Wenjun's faces both had a look of relief, and then the two of them saluted and solemnly arched their hands.

"Your Highness is benevolent and fair, and my Datang has His Royal Highness entering the East Palace, which is really a blessing for the community!"

However, these two people were so solemn, which made Li Hong a little embarrassed, his face was slightly red, Li Hong stretched out his hand to help Dai Zhide and Zhang Wenjun, and said with a dry smile.

"The two gentlemen praised it falsely, this is a lonely thing, but I dare not deserve such praise!"

"However, Your Highness, although Xue Rengui's incident back then was for a reason, but in this Eastern Crusade, the old minister still does not approve of him being in charge!"

Just paused, but Dai Zhide still said with a serious face.

This really made Li Hong a little puzzled, since it was not because of Li Xian's recommendation, why did Dai Zhide oppose it so much?

"Your Highness is kind-hearted, which is a good thing! But has His Highness ever considered what the consequences would be if General Xue was really put in charge of this crusade? ”

Dai Zhide's tone was a little heavy, and there was a hint of worry between his eyebrows.

"The old minister also knows that General Xue can't be blamed entirely for this matter, but His Highness must know that the killing of prisoners has a huge impact, not only in my Tang Dynasty, but also against the invisible rules between countries.

If there is no reasonable explanation, he will inevitably incur the dissatisfaction of many neighbors, and although we know the truth, we cannot explain it to the ministers, and the criticism of the ministers will also be a big problem at that time! ”

You must know that the impact of the killing of the prisoner is too great, and Dai Zhide and the others can't tell the truth, so it becomes extremely difficult to enable Xue Rengui.

In Dai Zhide's opinion, there is no need for Li Hong to touch this mold, if it weren't for the fact that the Eastern Crusade was too big, in fact, he didn't want to talk about it in such detail.

After all, some of the things involved in this are not very upright, and Xue Rengui has indeed been wronged in the mansion all these years.

"Well, what I mean is that Your Highness, General Xue has never taken a step out of the palace for so many years, just to protect General Zheng's reputation, if he really makes this matter public because of his career, I'm afraid it is not what General Xue wants!"

Sighing, Zhang Wenjun also opened his mouth to persuade.

It's just that Li Hong's brows furrowed slightly, if he didn't know about this matter before, he still said it in the past, but now that he already knows, how can he let a loyal minister continue to be dusty.

But Dai Zhide's concerns are not unreasonable, this matter is indeed a little tricky!

After a moment of silence, Li Hong slowly spoke.

"In this case, the two gentlemen don't need to be in a hurry, they will go to the British Duke's mansion tomorrow to visit, and we must listen to the British Duke's opinion on this matter!"

After thinking about it, Li Hong finally decided to meet Li Ji in person.

This old fox, I don't know what he is thinking?

I believe this old guy knows better than anyone how important this position of the coach of the Eastern Crusade is, but until now he has not expressed his attitude, which is really a little strange.

What's more, even if Xue Rengui is to be enabled, I am afraid that Li Ji's help is indispensable, Xue Rengui has lived in the mansion for many years, and Li Hong does not know the specific situation, but Li Ji must know.

"But Your Highness, the British Duke has long been closed these days, if it is ......"

Hearing that Li Hong was going to visit Li Ji, Dai Zhide's face was flushed with a trace of worry.

You must know that Li Ji can't even shirk the emperor's will to summon him, and if Li Hong comes to the door in person, I'm afraid he will inevitably have to eat behind closed doors.

However, Li Hong obviously did not have this worry, a sly smile appeared on his face, and he spoke.

"Master Dai doesn't have to worry about this, Lone naturally has a way to enter the British Mansion!"

Dai Zhide and the others saw that he was so full of confidence, and knew that Li Hong had made up his mind, so they no longer dissuaded him, and left the East Palace after saluting.

And after everyone left, Li Hong breathed a sigh of relief and asked lightly.

"Wang Fusheng, is there any news from Miss Helan?"

And Wang Fusheng on the side was obviously ready early, and as soon as Li Hong called, he immediately stepped forward and spoke.

"Your Highness, the case of the assassination of the Turks, Miss Helan has no clue, but since the last time His Highness sent troops to besiege the Honglu Temple, we have sent people to monitor the Honglu Temple day and night, so we can be sure that there are no assassins in the Honglu Temple today who have escaped as described by the Turks!"

Hearing this, Li Hong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke softly.

"So...... Are those Turks lying? (To be continued.) )
