【Chapter 4: Lishan Military Parade Dingchao Hall】(3)
The soldiers below were in complete chaos except for a few camps. Some listened to the sound of the gold and stopped, some listened to the sound of the war drums continued, and some were sandwiched between the two, hesitating left and right and wondering who to listen to. One of the attacking soldiers, the first row was about to collect the troops, but the back was still attacking, the two collided, and one of them did not stand firm and tripped on his own foot and fell to the ground, which also caused a fall and stampede.
Li Longji was furious, and threw the drumstick at Guo Yuanzhen with one hand: "This is the soldier you brought out?!" ”
The drums had stopped, and the soldiers had gathered their troops and stood up, and they saw that on the high platform, the courtiers had fallen to their knees. They hurriedly knelt down, and their hearts were full of trepidation.
This is a military parade that has not been seen for many years, and it is in front of so many people, they have made such a big ugly appearance. This not only slapped the face of the coach Guo Yuanzhen, but also shamed the Son of Heaven and Da * Wei, they could not forgive their sins!
After all, Guo Yuanzhen was wearing armor, and the drumstick could not hurt him, but the sound of the drumstick smashing out was deafening, and together with the sound of the Son of Heaven's shouting, it pierced his eardrums.
There was silence at the foot of Lishan for a moment, and even the people knelt down to subdue all the noise.
"The widow himself beats the drum and conducts it like this, let alone on weekdays? With such sloppy military discipline, how can we protect our family and defend the country? Guo Yuanzhen, the secretary of the military department! In the silence, Li Longji's voice was both clear and extremely far away, "Are you guilty?!" ”
Because of the armor, Guo Yuanzhen couldn't kneel down like he did on weekdays, so he had to straighten up, bow his head, and say happily: "The minister knows his sins, and I hope that the saint will forgive his sins." ”
"Say it again."
Guo Yuanzhen looked up in surprise, and saw Li Longji's solemn gaze fixed on his face. His heart suddenly bottomed: "...... Minister...... The minister knows his sins, and hopes that the saint will forgive his sins! ”
"Be louder, isn't General Guo old?!"
"The minister is guilty! I hope that the saint will forgive his sins! ”
The people looked at each other. They are now on the same side as the Son of Heaven, and at the same time, they also feel that this General Guo is not good at talking and doing things. When is it, why don't you hurry up and let the saint give you sin, don't care how much punishment you will bear first, and leave it for you to intercede and speak later? I only want to forgive my sins, and I don't want to suffer a little bit of loss, and once you completely anger the saint, it's up to you how you end.
The ordinary people can see the crux of it, and the ministers are naturally bright-eyed, while Zhang Jiuling and Li Linfu are all closed and shake their heads - at this time, they still want to forgive their sins, do they really think that they are superior to the king and override the king?
I heard Li Longji shouting: "His crime should be punished, how can you let the widow forgive his sins!" Come! Guo Yuanzhen neglected his duties and was laxant in military discipline, resulting in an untidy appearance of the army. Take it down and behead it for public display! ”
The complete law of the Tang Dynasty was finally established during the reign of Emperor Yonghui, and it was called "Yonghui Laws and Regulations". It has been mentioned that if it is not a heinous crime, the death penalty is mostly hanging. Once the word "beheading" is used, it is a heinous crime that can hardly be pardoned.
Can...... But Guo Yuanzhen is a hero, he has made great contributions from the beginning of the dragon, and this crime can be big or small, how can he be beheaded? The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, Zhang Shuo and Liu Youqiu are not only heroes, but also the leading prime ministers, the head of the hundred officials, and immediately took the lead in interceding.
After several pleas, Li Longji's decision was finally loosened a little. Guo Yuanzhen's capital crime can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, he was removed from all positions and exiled to Xinzhou. After Guo Yuanzhen was brought down, Li Longji's anger was still unabated, and he asked Tang Shao, the official in charge of the etiquette, to be arrested and beheaded.
The ministers pleaded again, and it turned out that the person in charge of the detainees this time was Li Miao, the general of Jinwu. Li Miao was an anxious man, and before Li Longji could relax, Tang Shao's head had already fallen to the ground. Now everyone knows that the Son of Heaven is going to be serious.
Only Xiao Jiangyuan found that when Li Longji heard that Tang Shao was beheaded under his banner, his right eyebrow was slightly raised - that was a sign of his surprise, with a hint of reproach, as if to say: Why did you kill so quickly?
Her Ah Lang is not a murderous person, just to bluff for Liwei, but now there is really a person dead, which is beyond everyone's expectations. In fact, this is a good thing for him and the heroes, as soon as Tang Shao died, the heroes were truly shocked, and he would not continue to pursue it.
At this time, half of her family's Ah Lang's purpose was achieved. From then on, the heroes will know that the Son of Heaven has the right to kill and take away, and he will be a little indulgent for the sake of merit, but this connivance is not their capital to despise the imperial power, once they commit a mistake that the Son of Heaven cannot tolerate, a catastrophe will come, and their lives will not be guaranteed.
At the same time, it consolidated the imperial power, established the prestige of the Son of Heaven in front of the army of the Tang Dynasty, and gained the hearts of the people, killing four birds with one stone.
- If you can win Yao Chong, it will kill five birds with one stone.
Xiao Jiangyuan admired her family Ah Lang more and more, and political conspiracy could be used like this.
That night was Xiao Jiangyuan's night, Li Longji slept on the couch in the main hall of the palace, and Xiao Jiangyuan was lying on the footrest not far away, with only two layers of gauze curtains in between. The gauze curtain is as thin as a cicada's wings, even if it is two layers, Li Longji can also see Xiao Jiangyuan's figure by candlelight, and with her movements, he can guess a little bit of what she is doing, but he can't see her expression clearly.
She was reading a book, breathing so smoothly, and she wanted to read it very seriously. Li Longji looked at Xiao Jiangyuan quietly with his cheeks on his cheeks, only to feel that the present world was stable, the years were quiet, and his whole heart was filled with a warm thing, which made him slightly drunk.
He couldn't help but think of everything that happened during the day today, and couldn't help but roll around and laugh out loud, so he heard Xiao Jiangyuan say: "The big * team is loose like that, everyone can still laugh?" ”
How much ability did you learn, and then you began to learn the advice of imperial history? Li Longji felt that this kind of Xiao Jiangyuan was very fresh, and raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you mean that before or after I punish Guo Yuanzhen?" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan put down the book, lifted the curtain and walked in front of Li Longji, knelt down and sat down: "I don't understand, after everyone punishes Guo Yuanzhen, why do you have to parade again?" The soldiers' legs were a little frightened, not only were they not neater, but they were even more panicked, didn't everyone get angry when they saw it? ”
"I'll have to see how Liwei works." Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan was so serious and looked like he was concentrating on studying, Li Longji also knelt up and faced Xiao Jiangyuan face to face, but he tilted his head slightly, making a good teacher, "Do you think I'm conflicted?" As a monarch, of course, I still prefer to see my army neat and majestic, but if this is the case, my prestige today will not have the effect I want. ”
"So everyone is looking forward to the untidy appearance of the army?"
"That's the act of a faint monarch - you're scolding me?" Li Longji teased.
"I don't dare." Xiao Jiangyuan was very wronged.
Li Longji couldn't help laughing: "I'm not an immortal, and I don't know what will happen today." Maybe my army is just infallible, and then I can only obey the will of God, and I can't deliberately disturb it and make it too obvious, right? I don't dare to hope that the army is bad, but when I really see that it is not good, how can I not be angry? ”
Li Longji sighed: "I was really angry at the time, and now I am really happy." Today's scenario has been predicted for a long time, after all, it has not happened for many years, and it can be solved with more practice in the future, and it is not the most urgent thing at the moment. Fortunately, my goal has been achieved. I think that since I ascended the throne, it has been a man-made disaster, and it is a natural disaster, and I haven't had a peaceful birthday in the past two years, and today there is finally something that can make me happy. ”
Li Longji suddenly felt a little tired, so he wanted to lie down. Xiao Jiangyuan helped Li Longji put the pillow away, and after he lay down, he covered him with a quilt and smiled lightly: "It seems that the minister is too worried." ”
Li Longji snorted lightly: "Of course, I am more thoughtful than you in political affairs." Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan was about to get up and leave after covering the quilt, he didn't know what was going on tonight, and before his brain could react, his hand had already stretched out and held Xiao Jiangyuan in his arms.
Xiao Jiangyuan fell on Li Longji's chest, listening to Li Longji's gradually accelerating heartbeat, she was a little dazed and a little uneasy: "Everyone...... What does this mean? ”
Li Longji didn't know why he did this, he seemed to be attracted by Xiao Jiangyuan's obsessive gaze, and he seemed to be bewitched by her different smile from usual, in short, he hugged him if he wanted to, and if he really wanted to ask him what he was going to do, his mind was blank. He wouldn't let go so quickly, he hadn't been so close to her in a long time.
There were only the two of them in the hall, and after a long silence, Li Longji said in a somewhat dumb voice: "Do you know, what is my dream?" ”
