244, chasing the commander (below)

"Lao Liu, let's go see the emperor!" Jingwen said.

"Hmm!" Liu Renliang agreed.

Jingwen and Liu Renliang both knew that if they didn't explain at this time, then I was afraid that the emperor would really have to be suspicious. Jingwen knew with his ass that this Zhang Shigui would definitely sue the wicked first, saying that Jingwen had a problem. And this mutiny, although it was appeased, Jingwen and Liu Renliang had to explain. If you can't get the emperor's approval, then I'm afraid it's dangerous. Because of this kind of mutiny, the crime is not small, so it must be explained as much as possible.

In the evening, Jingwen and Liu Renliang came to the palace, but they were strictly searched for a long time, and they were obviously overridden. And when they entered the Ganlu Palace, there were many ministers there, obviously waiting for Jingwen and Liu Renliang to come over.

"The minister has seen the emperor!" Jingwen and Liu Renliang said.

"Hmph, you should call yourself a sinner!" Dongfang Ye said.

Jingwen asked, "What crime did I commit?" ”

"You rebel!" Dongfang Ye directly buttoned his hat and said.

But Jingwen asked rhetorically: "You say I rebelled? That must also be judged by the emperor, and even if I am guilty, then I will only be able to be considered a criminal after being sentenced, before that I am only a suspect, not a criminal! ”

"Hmph, sharp teeth, see how you explain later!" Dongfang Ye said.

"Jingwen, do you have anything to explain? General Zhang Shigui sued you, saying that you rebelled! What do you have to explain? Li Shimin asked.

However, Liu Renliang said: "Your Majesty, there is a mutiny in the army, but it is nonsense to rebel. Zhang Shigui not only insulted the soldiers, but also shielded and connived at the officers to kill the soldiers at will, which were the reasons for the mutiny of the soldiers. This is what happened, one by one, written on it, and there are thousands of soldiers' drawings on it! ”

Liu Renliang took out a huge piece of cloth from inside his clothes and handed it to Li Shimin. Li Shimin looked at these paintings. Then I looked at those statements about what happened, and I frowned a little. When this Zhang Shigui arrived at the barracks, not only did he not appease the soldiers, but insulted the soldiers, beat and discriminated against them, and some of them were even killed. If these soldiers are treated like this, then how will they fight the Turks in the future? These soldiers were already intended to be of great use by Emperor Li Shimin, because these soldiers were familiar with the terrain and the enemy's combat methods, so they were good soldiers of the first class. But this Zhang Shigui is so unbelievable. Then what are you talking about training soldiers!

"Your Majesty, these are all those lowly ......" Zhang Shigui just wanted to say something.

"Zhang Shigui, unless I, the people of the Tang Dynasty, sell themselves or break the law and become slaves, there is no such thing as a pariah. What do you mean by these scumbags? Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, I ......" Zhang Shigui just wanted to explain something, but he couldn't speak.

Jingwen immediately said: "Your Majesty, the Lu Ning who was killed by Lord Liu Renliang some time ago is under Youtunwei. ”

After Li Shimin listened to it, he completely understood. It turned out that this Zhang Shigui wanted to help that Lu Ning take revenge. And in addition, Zhang Shigui also looked down on these soldiers who were once Turkic slaves, so he would not manage these soldiers well at all, but would abuse them. Now because of Zhang Shigui's abuse, those soldiers mutinied. Zhang Shigui immediately ran away. As a result, he came to sue right now, saying that Jingwen wanted to rebel, which made Li Shimin almost misunderstand Jingwen. And the facts are already very obvious, that is Zhang Shigui's problem.

"Didn't I already say something about Lu Ning? Lu Ning insulted the law of the Tang Dynasty. Sin deserves death, and death is not a pity. Therefore, this matter should not be pursued. In the future, I will not take the question of who mentions Lu Ning again. I just want to warn everyone that the laws of the Tang Dynasty do not tolerate insults. No one can break the law lightly, even if I have to be careful! Li Shimin said.

After all, Li Shimin is a feudal emperor, so naturally he will not say that the emperor cannot violate the law. And he just said to be careful, this is already very rare. Because the laws of ancient times were made by the emperor, even if they were formulated by others, they had to be issued in the name of the emperor. Therefore, the emperor has the final right to interpret the law, so he said that whoever violates the law is who violates the law. But he was able to say that he tried not to break the law, which was already very rare. Now that he said that Lu Ning's matter has ended, it means that this matter has been completely over, and he can't continue to talk about it. If anyone says it, they just can't get along with the emperor. At that time, Li Shimin didn't expect that Zhang Shigui would avenge Lu Ning, and sprinkled this anger on ordinary soldiers, but now it has ended up like this.

"Now it is very obvious that Zhang Shigui, you are not suitable to be the general of this shameful army. The commander of the Snow Shame Army will choose another good general to serve as a good general, and this will be talked about when the time comes! Li Shimin said.

Hearing Li Shimin say this, Jingwen relaxed a lot, because this so-called rebellion disappeared like this. It turned out that it was all a misunderstanding, so now there is no problem. But Jingwen saw anger in Zhang Shigui's eyes, obviously having a relationship with Jingwen. Jingwen couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, wanting officialdom to not be so easy to mix. If you want to do something, you will inevitably offend people, and now you have offended Zhang Shigui, a general with real power. Although Zhang Shigui was expelled this time, it also brought a troublesome to himself. Who knows how this Zhang Shigui will retaliate? Now Zhang Shigui has not been dealt with much, because he is the emperor's favorite general, although because in addition to this matter, he will not be severely punished.

Zhang Shigui could have taken advantage of this opportunity to become the pinnacle of military attachés in one fell swoop, but now he was ruined by Jingwen, and of course he hated Jingwen very much. Cutting off people's futures is like killing their parents, Zhang Shigui and Jingwen can be regarded as an irreconcilable bond. Zhang Shigui is a first-class real power, if Jingwen loses the emperor's favor, then I am afraid that Jingwen will be in danger. At that time, Zhang Shigui can clean him up at any time, because Zhang Shigui is much higher than Jingwen in terms of official position and title.

"Your Majesty, please behead the officer who killed the soldier to set the record straight!" Jingwen said.

"Accurate!" Li Shimin agreed.

Zhang Shigui didn't dare to say anything, because this time he was at a loss, of course it was difficult to say anything. But Zhang Shigui lost a personal soldier here, which means that his prestige has been swept away once. (To be continued......)
