Chapter 46: Interrogating Liu Renliang
After the end of the court meeting, the emperor and the empress convened several important ministers in the court to discuss how to deal with the defeat of the Qinghai army, Liu Renliang strongly advocated sending people to Shanzhou to strictly investigate the case, and other important ministers also supported this discussion, the emperor and the empress finally decided to send Zhongshu Shilang, Tongzhongshu Sanpin Li Yiyan, and Cen Changqian, the military department waiter Cen Changqian and several other people to Shanzhou to investigate the matter, so that Liu Renliang breathed a sigh of relief.
After coming out of the palace, Liu Renliang did not return to the house, that is, he immediately went to Liu Xianli's mansion, wanting to tell the Liu family's family about this as soon as possible, and let Liu Yi, who was crying out in the palace, also have a comfort, but he didn't expect Liu Yi to look at him with a not very friendly look, which made Liu Renliang very embarrassed.
If Liu Yi's extraordinary performance in the martial arts competition, as well as the situation of shouting grievances in the palace today, can be explained, but now Liu Xianli, the youngest son's gaze, seems to be able to see through people's hearts, which makes Liu Renliang, who is a lot older, has experienced a lot of turmoil, and has seen a lot of people, very surprised.
Liu Xianli, the youngest son who is not as old as a weak crown, how can he have such eyes? He couldn't explain...
However, Liu Renliang is an old fox who has been an official in the court for many years, he has seen a lot of things, and he has experienced all kinds of scenes, and after a little embarrassment, he stabilized his mind and thought about how to make this young man eliminate the resentment in his heart.
"The emperor and the empress announced at the court meeting today that they would investigate the Qinghai war clearly, and they will come here after the court meeting........." Alas!"
"Thank you Liu Xiang for her husband's efforts at the court meeting, the concubine is very grateful," Zhang made another salute and said, "Liu Xiang, please come in and talk!"
As soon as I entered the house, a few people were still standing outside the front hall talking, which was really inappropriate.
"Liu Xiang, please inside!" Liu Yi also made a salute, but there was no expression on his face.
"Please!" Liu Renliang followed Liu Yi's gesture and walked in, entered the hall, and several people sat down as hosts and guests.
Liu Renliang and Zhang's said a few polite words of comfort, saying that people can't be resurrected after death, so that Zhang's family shouldn't have too much sadness, the imperial court has sent someone to investigate, and I believe that Liu Xianli will definitely be returned to his innocence.
Zhang's was forcibly suppressing his sadness and talking to Liu Renliang, Liu Yi was a little unbearable, stood up and said to Zhang: "Mother, you go to rest, just let the child accompany Liu Xiang!" ”
Generally, when receiving guests, unless they are very familiar people, the female relatives basically do not come out to entertain, and Liu Yi also wants to ask Liu Renliang about some things, and also wants to separate his mother.
"San Lang, you can entertain Liu Xiang well," Zhang said and bowed to Liu Renliang, "The concubine is a new widow, so it is really not suitable to receive Liu Xiang here..."
"Madame, please, have a chat with your nephew!" Liu Renliang also bowed back.
Zhang blessed again, that is, he left accompanied by Liu Nian.
"Virtuous nephew, this time due to poor health, I really can't lead the troops on the plateau, so I recommend Li Zhongshuling to lead the Taohe River march to the post of general manager, I didn't expect Li Zhongshuling to be cowardly and afraid of the enemy, stay in the army and not send it, and defeat our army when it has already achieved an advantage!" Liu Renliang sighed, with faint tears in the corners of his eyes, "I didn't expect our army to be defeated so miserably, affecting Liu Shangshu...... Never back..."
The imperial court set up the Taohe Road Marching Department, and Liu Renliang strongly recommended Liu Xianli as his deputy, and obtained the consent of the emperor and empress. Before Liu Renliang went directly to Shanzhou from Liaodong to take up his post, Liu Xianli was in charge of military affairs as a deputy marshal. It's just that some of Liu Renliang's suggestions to the imperial court to deal with the enemy, and the request for offerings, were all refuted or suppressed by Li Jingxuan, which made Liu Renliang very angry and waiting for an opportunity to retaliate.
But before leaving, Liu Renliang also made careful arrangements, and even formulated the strategy of how to attack and defend, but Liu Renliang never thought that the outcome would be like this, the former army was completely annihilated, and Liu Xianli died of illness after being captured.
This kind of victory made Liu Renliang, who had outstanding military achievements and was promoted to the military with his military achievements, a little embarrassed, and deeply blamed himself for such a narrow psychology, which not only made himself criticized, but also made tens of thousands of Tang soldiers stain the battlefield with blood, and Qinghai, a good horse grazing land, was occupied by the Tubo people, and my Tang Dynasty may not have the ability to counterattack Qinghai in a few years.
Liu Renliang also understood that the third son of Liu Fu, who was very smart and skilled, must have insight into this situation, and in order to show his honesty, he also held a deep guilt for Liu Xianli, a colleague who had a good relationship, and spoke to Liu Yi so bluntly.
Liu Renliang said this, Liu Yi was a little surprised, but there were only two of them in the house, and he also expressed his grievances at the moment, "I take the liberty of asking Liu Xiang, which is more important, the interests of the country, the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and personal grievances?" ”
The death of his father Liu Xianli also has a very big relationship with Liu Renliang, Li Jingxuan is not familiar with military affairs, presumably Liu Renliang also knows that it is because he does not know Li Jingxuan, Liu Renliang, who is very influential in the court, actually recommended Li Jingxuan to lead the troops, which is beyond the reach of people, and the surnames of tens of thousands of soldiers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are child's play, and they are not worthy of being called famous generals of the Tang Dynasty.
Liu Yi originally admired this general who defeated the Japanese [***] team at the mouth of the Baijiang River, but basically guessed that the situation of this Qinghai battle had changed 180 degrees later, and he was full of contempt for Liu Renliang
Although Liu Yi was very polite in his questioning, his tone was not aggressive, but said it in a gentle tone.
Liu Renliang was stunned for a moment, his eyes stared at Liu Yi, who had a calm expression, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Of course, Liu Renliang knew that Liu Xianli, the youngest son, had resentment in his heart, but he never imagined that the young Liu Yi would ask such a question, questioning him, an important minister of the court, and his tone was so calm.
"What do you mean by this? Of course, the righteousness of the country is the most important! Liu Renliang was a little angry in his heart, but he also suppressed his anger and calmly answered Liu Yi's question, his eyes looking directly at Liu Yi.
"My father used to teach us that we should never lose our true colors as a man, that the husband should act above board, and that personal grievances are insignificant in the face of the country's righteousness!" Liu Yi was not intimidated by Liu Renliang's eyes, and still said in this tone that made Liu Renliang uncomfortable, "The ministers of the DPRK and China all know that Li Zhongshu is not familiar with military affairs, why did Liu Xiangyi strongly recommend his army to go to Tubo?!" Liu Yi said this, with some coldness in his words...;
