Chapter 59: A Bloody Case Caused by a Twist and Turn

The king of Jin swept through the bandit nest in Hebei and eradicated the bandits for many years in one fell swoop. On the other hand, of course, the King of Jin himself can't forget to ask for merit for himself, and thanks to an old minister like Pei Ju, it feels a lot smoother to write the merit chapter, and even Li Chengzong himself is a little frightened by his own credit.

Li Chengzong looked at the fold and said, "Isn't it too exaggerated, if this fold goes up, will it be taught a big lesson by the emperor's grandfather?"

Ma Zhou also helped: "King Jin is very right, the twists and turns are too exaggerated."

Staring at Pei Ju, Ma Zhou's eyes were breathing fire. What kind of job did you say you robbed, it was originally your own business and was snatched away, who can be happy.

Pei Ju said in a deep voice: "King Jin, since ancient times, no one has ever written a real merit play, and it is a habit to participate in this work. In other words, if our merits are too small, but we still have to play and ask for credit, what does King Jin think the emperor and the ministers of the palace will think? Will they compliment King Jin for being a real person? Moreover, the King of Jin did pacify all the bandits in Hebei Province in one fell swoop, and looked at all the states and counties under the rule of the Tang Dynasty. Lord Wang, you are the only one, just by virtue of your exemplary role, this twist and turn is not an exaggeration at all. ”

There seems to be a little bit of truth, Li Chengzong thinks about it.

Although Ma Zhou is talented, after all, he is still a novice as an official, and he is not bad at handling government affairs, but it is naturally more clear to say that the catty in officialdom is naturally more clear.

Li Chengzong said: "Then let's play it like this!"

It's not a part, Lord Jin thinks it's a trivial matter, but it was really sent to Chang'an, but it was a scene.

Chang'an, Li Yuan looked at the fold again and again, not to see if the fold was fake, but to think again.

Reward the king? What else can I reward him? The title can't be higher, the territory can't be bigger, let alone money, and the fat on the exchange still wants to take a bite!

Li Yuan couldn't, so he had to ask his old friend Pei Lin to come over and talk.

Pei Lin was so smart that he understood what Emperor Li Yuan was thinking.

If you don't reward him, it will definitely not work, the credit is indeed there, and Li Yuan still relies on King Jin to help him balance the court. It's not okay if the reward is too big, and Li Yuan really doesn't have anything to do with it.

Pei Lin understood, but he couldn't think of any good way for a while.

Both of them had sad faces, and in the end, Pei Lin suggested: "King Feng Jin has to give me two words of encouragement and praise." But he can reward the King of Jin in a big way. Such as Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji and Su Dingfang, who beheaded more than 10,000 bandits this time, as well as some ministers under the command of King Jin, such as Pei Ju and Xiao Rui..."

"And your son, right?" Li Yuan asked with squinted eyes.

"The minister is absolutely selfless!" Pei Lin said busily.

Li Yuan said: "What are you nervous about, what's wrong with being selfish." Anyway, I can only blame my grandson for running too fast, and there is no way to do it without a reward this time. Tomorrow morning, you will take the lead, Master Pei!"

Pei Lin secretly screamed bitterly, tomorrow it is inevitable that he will have another big fight with the Qin Wangfu, I am afraid that he will spit again.

But he couldn't imagine that in addition to dealing with King Qin, the crown prince Li Jiancheng didn't know what to eat in the morning, and his brain was eaten badly, so he actually stood up against it.

Li Jiancheng said: "Erchen does not recommend such a reward, and the military exploits obtained by the King of Jin have yet to be verified." Even if it's true and there is no false report, but the bandits are a rabble after all, how can they really talk about military merit?"

Almost didn't lift it in one breath, Li Yuan almost fell off the dragon chair.

King Qin was happy, he had just said so much about the horn, and he couldn't stand it, but he didn't expect a support army to arrive.

Pei Lin and Xiao Yu were really shaking, angry!

What the hell is the prince, don't you know what you should do?

Wei Zheng really wants to stand up and talk about the truth, what does it mean that killing bandits is not a military achievement? It's a pity that it was the crown prince Li Jiancheng who said this, not the Qin king Li Shimin.

"What are you talking about, aren't the bandit soldiers risking their lives? They're not going to die?" Li Yuan said angrily.

Li Jiancheng felt empty in his heart, and he also felt that he could not stand.

King Qin came out again and strongly supported the prince and said: "What my father said is true, it's just that the bandits are just a rabble as the eldest brother said. The army and horses under the command of the King of Jin are not a standing army with one as ten, and if it is to suppress bandits, I am afraid that it is not impossible to use one as a hundred. The disproportionate combat effectiveness is no longer a war, but a unilateral massacre, how can it be counted as a military merit? Moreover, when Erchen heard that most of the bandits in Hebei Province had surrendered, they were not captured and killed by soldiers and horses under the command of King Jin, and he also asked his father to judge him. ”

Xiao Yu couldn't help it, there was also his son in that reward! Besides, King Jin is still his son-in-law, and he is also half a son, and the credit of a half-son can be erased if you want to erase it, is Xiao Yu a dead man?

Xiao Yu said loudly: "What the King of Qin said is really unreasonable, if the soldiers and horses under the command of the King of Jin say that they are well-equipped, the old ministers admit it, but it is completely impossible to say that one is ten, and one is a hundred." The King of Jin went to Hebei Province for less than a year, and with such limited time, how to train a strong army that can be used as a hundred? Also, King Qin's statement that the bandits in Hebei Province were all subjugated to the king of Jin instead of being defeated and captured by the king of Jin is even more annoying. Dare to ask, if there is no soldier and horse under the command of King Jin to fight to the death and kill the thief's guts, how can they surrender honestly?"

This time is really lively, the prince and the king of Qin fought against Pei Lin and Xiao Yu.

The prince's side is fine, although I don't know what the prince is smoking, but he is not going to convulsion with him.

On the one hand, King Qin went into battle shirtless, with the mentality of saying that you will not die and disgust you to death, and joined the scolding war.

Chaos, today's court is not just chaos!

On weekdays, it's just two groups of people, but today it's three.

Li Yuan was originally unhappy, but he was arguing and arguing, but he made Li Yuan happy.

"Quarrel, the harder you quarrel, the more comfortable I, the emperor! His grandson is really angry, and since then, Li Chengzong is afraid that neither the prince nor the king of Jin will act rashly, let alone do something that defies the world's condemnation. Li Yuan smiled secretly in his heart.

Suddenly, I don't know what's wrong, I just hear a whoosh.

After taking a closer look, I realized that Pei Lin and Lord Xiao Yu teamed up, pointed at a person's nose and scolded, and actually scolded him for fainting.

King Qin said: "The two adults are too ruthless."

Pei Lin flicked his sleeves and said very unceremoniously: "What kind of heart can dare to be an official?" It's looking for death. ”

Xiao Yu was even more hateful, and said: "Go home and practice for a few more years, you can't hold your tongue straight and learn to debate, and you can find abuse."

Li Yuan just asked people to carry people down, and it didn't take long for him to report that the person was dead.

"Huh?" Li Yuan was stunned.

When Pei Lin and Xiao Yu heard this, they knelt down with sad faces and said, "The minister is guilty."

Li Yuan was helpless, thinking that a letter asking for merit would actually lead to a life.

It's true that scolding the dead doesn't have to pay for their lives, but it's a bit too much!
