Everyone's hearts suddenly burst out, and they all turned back in unison.

I saw a group of gray-haired old men in the crowd, under the maintenance of the guards with knives, squeezing a path out of the crowd and approaching the wooden platform.

"It's Tobe's Li-sama!"

"And Lord Lan from the Ministry of Officials!"

The pace of officialdom in the crowd, when they saw this group of old people breaking through the crowd and coming to the front of the high platform, they were immediately shocked.

Household Department, Officials Department, Military Department, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Rites...... Even the criminal department Shangshu who had been smuggled by Tang An came in person. As the mainstay of the entire Tang Dynasty, the six Shangshu gathered in the Dharma field, what is the matter?

Knowing the identities of several people, people with a little insight felt their hearts surging, and when they looked at Tang An in white prison clothes on the high platform, their eyes were a little more bright.

Maybe Tang An will be saved this time!

As soon as the six of them came out of the crowd, they held the hem at the same time, knelt down and said, "The minister knocks to see the emperor!" ”

Qin Tian's face was unhappy, and he said coldly: "A few people came early in the morning, what is the matter?" ”

Today is the day when Tang An was beheaded, and several big men came early, not for Tang An but for whom?

The six of them glanced at each other, and finally Lan Honglie, the secretary of the ministry, took a step forward and said, "Weichen and a few adults are really reluctant to ask, and they also hope that the emperor Hai Han." We believe that Tang An Tang is a rare talent in the Tang Dynasty, who has a close relationship with the Great Snow Mountain, and when he went to the Western Regions, he saved the building from the general fall, and his contribution can be listed in the history of the Tang Dynasty. ”

After a pause, Lan Honglie continued: "Xia Guo Chen soldiers 150,000 raided our Western Regions border defense, aiming to capture the old general Zhan Lingyun alive, in a vain attempt to shake the hearts of our defenders in the Western Regions. On his deathbed, the war general handed over the remaining remnants of the Western Regions to Lord Tang, and Lord Tang did not live up to his trust, taking only 3,000 remnants of soldiers to wander on the loess, delaying the Xia army's invasion of Tang. Not only that, but he even led the army to attack the Xia Kingdom for the first time, burning the city of Dima in the Wenming Grassland, killing several times the enemy of his own, and showing the majesty and spirit of our Tang Dynasty soldiers. Now that the old thieves in the East are eyeing the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court is at the time of employing people, and I hope that the emperor can make an exception to issue an edict to avoid Tang An's death, and to be gracious! ”

As soon as Lan Honglie's voice fell, the other five old guys lowered their heads at the same time and shouted: "Please open the Internet to the emperor, with grace!" ”

A simple remark caused an uproar among the common people.

Only then did they know that it was no wonder that Tang An would take over the remnants of the army, and no wonder it was not Zhan Lingyun who led the heroes of the Tang Dynasty to return triumphantly, because the legend of the Western Regions, which was enshrined as a myth, had fallen!

In Datang, the three words of Zhan Lingyun are the guarantee for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. Maybe not many people have seen this old man who has been fighting all his life, but everyone knows the meaning of his existence. Suddenly, when I heard that the old general had buried his bones in a foreign country, the people were so embarrassed that they couldn't believe what they had heard.

Of course, after a short period of sadness, everyone's admiration for Tang An reached a new height.

A man who has never been on the battlefield, just because of a promise to the old general, is willing to wander among the tigers and wolves with three thousand tired soldiers. not only brought them back safe and sound, but even stirred up the Western Regions into a mess.

Except for Tang An, who in the whole world can do it?

Tang An looked in front of him. The dramatic change suddenly felt as if he understood something, and glanced at Qin Tian, whose face was like frost, with a face full of vigilance.

If he guessed correctly, it was all a conspiracy of the emperor. Although he didn't know what Qin Tian's arrangements were, he knew how many catties he had—he didn't have that much face to let the six Shangshu come together to intercede for him.

"Smack!"

Qin Tian slapped his face on the table in front of him with a sullen face, got up and shouted, "Are you trying to rely on the old and sell the old?" Are you forcing me to compromise? Do you think that by working all your life, you will be able to change the rules set by your ancestors? ”

The six of them trembled, and said at the same time: "The minister has no such intention!" ”

"Absolutely not? I see that's what you mean! Qin Tian roared angrily, "Tang An, as an important minister of the imperial court, knows the law and violates the law, and the crime will be added to the first!" Needless to say today, Tang An must die! ”

"Your Majesty!"

In the crowd, another old shout came.

People looked at it from afar, Li Moyu, the head of Moyu Academy, who was dressed in a plain robe and had already turned gray, and several other old guys who were old Longzhong were walking in the distance.

When it came to the front, Li Moyu leaned over and knelt down and said, "Long live my emperor!" ”

Even though Qin Tian was unhappy in his heart, he didn't dare to be surprised by this veteran of the Three Dynasties and a bachelor who had been a country all his life, and said respectfully: "Elder Li, please get up quickly!" ”

When it comes to relationships, it is not an exaggeration for Li Moyu to say that he is Qin Tian's master. The people who have served as emperors over the years are all his protégés. If it weren't for the fact that he had already ascended the throne, Qin Tian would not have to do it even if he was a disciple.

Li Moyu slowly got up under the support of Tang Ji and Xue Linyuan, and said: "Your Majesty, the old man has long since faded out of the court, and he should not be interfering in the affairs of the court, but Tang An is an old man's favorite disciple, and the Flying Heaven Gate Lord and the Sixth Princes also have a close relationship with the old man. Today, the old man has a few words that he wants to say to the emperor, if he doesn't like it, the emperor will connect with the old man to kill it! ”

Qin Tian's eyebrows jumped, and he still held back his anger and said: "Where is Old Li, you are a senior, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Li Moyu sighed and said: "For the monarch, you should think about the way to make the country rich and the people strong, and the foundation of the way lies in people. If the courtiers are loyal and united, the revival of the Tang Dynasty will be just around the corner. In Lao Yu's view, Tang An is such a talent - whether it is his talent in his chest or his vision, he is the only leader in Lao Yu's life. Not to mention his achievements on the grassland, how much tax can he pay to the state treasury every year for the initiative of Genting Mall alone? Your Majesty, heroes should judge the situation, don't stick to the form and not think about flexibility. ”

Dare to speak to the emperor in a tone of lesson, I am afraid that there is only Li Moyu in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Qin Tiandao: "It is advisable to adapt to the situation, but what Tang An did was contrary to the ancestral teachings, such a bold act, if I don't punish him, how will I serve the public in the future?" ”

Li Moyu bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, although the old minister has not been with Tang An for a long time, but judging by his temperament, he is by no means a person who can easily do such ridiculous things, is there any reason during this period?" ”

Qin Tianleng snorted and said: "Flying Heaven Gate Cheng Caixi intended to rescue the Flying Heaven Gate Master, and openly trespassed into the prison of the Criminal Department. Elder Li, you are a veteran of the Three Dynasties, if this matter is touched by the emperor, how should you deal with it? ”

Li Moyu said with a smile: "The Lord of the Flying Heaven Gate and the Six Princes are both important ministers of the imperial court, and they have done their best for the imperial court all their lives, so why were they imprisoned by the emperor in the prison?" ”

Speaking of this question, Qin Tian's face was even colder: "Now rumors are flying all over the sky, slandering the six princes and the Feitian Gate master are traitors of the imperial court. Many people thought that as long as these two men were handed over, there would be no excuse for rebellion in the east, but they did not know that a high-sounding reason could not stop the rebels at all. But some people have naïve illusions, and would rather believe the rebels' nonsense than muster the courage to defend the dignity of being a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. Seeing that the situation was uncontrollable, in order not to lose the support of the people, the six princes and the Lord of the Flying Heaven Gate were willing to sacrifice their lives and plan to isolate themselves from the rebels. I couldn't bear to lose the pillars of my country, so I put them in prison. ”

After hearing these words, many people suddenly showed ashamed expressions.

When they marched in the streets a few days ago to denounce "rebellion," they shouted louder than anyone else. But as Qin Tian said, they just had unrealistic fantasies.

In order to be able to survive for a longer time, the ignorant people slandered the two loyal ministers who had been loyal to the country all their lives; And the six princes and the Feitian Gate Lord knew that they were wronged, but for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and the court, they were still willing to die for the country, what kind of courage and what kind of mind was this?

The completely different attitudes towards self-sacrifice and selfishness in the face of thieves and thieves reflect the most noble and dirty aspects of human nature. Many people under the high platform were red-faced, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.
