The wind and snow are all over the sky, and the golden light gate of the West City is outside.

Under the street pavilion, Jin Wu stood solemnly.

Li Xuan, who was wearing a purple robe and a black cloak, looked at the northwest wind direction.

There seemed to be a myriad of figures flickering there.

"Xiao Changshi will arrive in a quarter of an hour at most, so the prince doesn't have to worry." Di Renjie walked up from behind, dressed in a scarlet robe, and was extremely energetic.

"When he was fighting in Tuyuhun, Xiao Changshi guarded the army and was cautious, but now he has a big defeat, he hasn't seen him for a year, and he doesn't know what is happening now." Li Xuan turned around and shook his head with emotion.

Xiao Siye was Liu Renliang's old department in the northwest in his early years, and later the Tuyuhun War transferred him to his command.

Compared with Sun Renshi, the general of the Right Tun Guard, who was still fighting under Li Xuan, Xiao Siye's situation was much worse.

"This time, Your Majesty asked the lower officials to greet Xiao Changshi with the prince, I am afraid that it also has the intention of appeasement." Di Renjie said comfortingly.

"Perhaps." Li Xuan sighed lightly, looked at Di Renjie, and said in a quiet voice: "But appeasement and thunder always go hand in hand, Brother Huaiying, the last time Xiao Changshi lost his soldiers and was inspected by the Criminal Department, although I don't know what the result was, but from Brother Huaiying's point of view, can Xiao Changshi's guilt be light?" ”

"If it's just a loss of soldiers, at most it's a dismissal, but if there are other ......," Di Renjie said, his face solemn.

Xiao Siye, as the governor of the Shan Yu Governor's Mansion and the general of the Left Guard, fell into the trap of the Turks last time and lost 5,000 soldiers, and the emperor immediately deposed him from the post of the governor of the Governor of the Governor's Mansion and transferred him back to Beijing to ask for the crime, but the matter is far from over.

Dingzhou was attacked because Li Jia was a traitor in Dingzhou.

Xiao Siye was attacked, and it was also because of a traitor.

However, the matter of Dingzhou has little to do with Shan Yu Du Hufu, and there is no news about the traitor situation in Du Hufu alone.

Li Xuan shook his head and said with some emotion: "Your Majesty clearly sees thousands of miles, and the affairs of Hebei are all under Your Majesty's control. ”

Di Renjie nodded lightly, there are many causes in Hebei, and the emperor actually controls a lot, although he doesn't have much control over the details, but the overall situation is still firmly in his hands.

In the end, he even turned it over with a single palm, and directly pardoned all sinners except Li Jiayun, and the world was grateful.

Although the Hebei incident has not been fundamentally resolved, a few years of mitigation is still sufficient.

The rest is Xiao Siye's business, and the emperor probably controls more situations than anyone else.

How the three law divisions discuss the crime depends on the specific crime of Xiao Siye.

In the wind and snow in the distance, the black figure was getting closer and closer, and Di Renjie suddenly spoke: "The prince still remembers how His Majesty punished the last time he lost more than 5,000 soldiers." ”

"Remove the official from office and abolish it as a common person." Li Xuan shook his head slightly.

The last time the soldiers suffered such heavy losses was when Xue Rengui and Guo were sealed, both of them were dismissed from their posts and abolished as commoners, but Xue Rengui quickly recovered......

As for Guo Beifeng, he no longer knows where he died, and only one son is still fighting for the family in Tubo.

"If it's just a dismissal from office, it's just a matter of being abolished as a common person, I'm afraid that there will be the crime of exile." Di Renjie looked at Li Xuan, and Li Xuan nodded lightly.

……

The black carriage slowly stopped outside the Golden Light Gate, and hundreds of Qianniuwei on both sides sat silently on their horses.

Li Xuan took Di Renjie to walk up from the left side and arched his hand: "Langya County Gong." ”

The wind and snow were blowing, and a slender and powerful hand stretched out from inside, and immediately, the black curtain opened.

A black robe, draped in a black cloak, with an elegant face and a long beard, Xiao Siye appeared in front of Li Xuan.

Xiao Siye, whose face was gloomy and tired, was slightly stunned when he saw Li Xuan, and subconsciously asked, "Why is the King of Nanchang here?" ”

"I am ordered to welcome the prince back to the court." Xiao Siye's expression was immediately shocked, and then he quickly jumped out of the carriage and said to Li Xuan: "Minister Xiao Siye has the order." ”

"Decree, order Langya County Gong Xiao Siye to enter the palace immediately." Li Xuan's expression was solemn.

Xiao Siye nodded solemnly: "Minister Xiao Siye respectfully received the holy oracle." ”

"The county lord, please." Li Xuan picked up Xiao Siye, then stretched out his hand to help him into the carriage, and asked in a low voice: "Jungong, what is the reason for this time?" ”

Xiao Siye had just boarded the carriage, glanced back at Li Xuan, shook his head, and said with a wry smile helplessly: "The family is unfortunate!" ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded, then took a step back, saying this, he had completely understood.

Although the Lanling Xiao family is a famous family, it is also going to be sent and consumed a lot, in this case, it is normal to do something on the grassland.

When someone shouldn't have been, he went deep into the grassland, was arrested, and then implicated the children of the family under Xiao Siye.

A big defeat was born.

Li Xuan turned over and got on the horse, his black cloak was raised, and he waved his hand with a cold face.

The next moment, one hundred thousand Niu Wei and one hundred Jin Wuwei were already guarding both sides of the carriage.

Pressing the black sheath long sword in his hand, he nodded at the same Ma Di Renjie, and the group had already headed towards the Golden Light Gate.

Entering the city, Li Xuan immediately felt that there were several eyes in the dark, staring directly at him and Xiao Siye.

Holding the reins in his hand, Li Xuan sighed slightly in his heart.

This time, the Turks were extremely accurate, and they had already set out to capture the caravans of the major families heading to the steppe a long time ago.

Among them, there are many descendants of some families.

Of course, the Turks succeeded a lot and failed many more, but they succeeded after all.

In the entire northern Xinjiang, from Yingzhou Youzhou, to Bingzhou, Yinzhou, and Ganliang in northern Shaanxi, I don't know how many children of the family fell into their hands.

Some people are ruthless and directly abandon the children of those families, after all, even if there are descendants among them, it is not the core.

Some people are soft-hearted and forced to be blackmailed by the Turks, which is also the case in Xiao Siye's family.

The DPRK and China already know about this matter, but it is impossible to save people, but it is indispensable to secretly investigate the arrested children of various families anyway.

In the past, the emperor easily let go of those things in Hebei, but now, if there is any more fornication with the Turks, it will be a heavy punishment.

Just like Xiao Siye now.

It would have been nice if he had returned to Chang'an a while earlier, before the matter of Hebei was clear, but now it would be troublesome.

I can't help but be used by the emperor as a tool to kill chickens and monkeys.

……

With a "bang", a piece of paperweight was smashed on Xiao Siye's forehead.

Ink, blood, suddenly sprinkled all over the ground.

The corners of Xiao Siye's mouth couldn't help twitching, but he still bowed his head respectfully: "Your Majesty is angry." ”

"Calm your anger, how can I calm my anger, because of your family's affairs, all the five thousand sons in the army died under the butcher's knife of the Turks, how do you let me explain to those Yongzhou people." The emperor glared at Xiao Siye fiercely.

The reason why the emperor was angry with the loss of only 5,000 soldiers this time was because these 5,000 soldiers were all from good families in Yongzhou.

The Tang Dynasty dominated the world with Guanzhong, and killed 5,000 Guanzhong good families, and the consequences were already very serious.

"The minister is guilty, please punish it severely." Xiao Siye didn't dare to raise his head, and fell directly to the ground.

"Come on, hold it and cut it." The emperor snapped his hand for a moment, and coldly spat out a chop.

Li Xuan was startled, quickly stood up from the side, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty is angry, please listen to the minister." ”

"Humph!" Li Zhi snorted coldly and waved his hand at the two forbidden army soldiers who had just entered the hall, and the two immediately bowed down and retreated.

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked sideways, at this time, in the hall, in addition to the emperor and Xiao Siye, there were only Li Xuan and Di Renjie left.

The emperor arranged it like this, and I am afraid that he also had a heart to do it.

"Your Majesty." Li Xuan bowed his hand deeply and said sincerely: "I am the most law-abiding in the Tang Dynasty, and it is not inappropriate to punish the crime of Langya County Gong, but this matter also needs to be discussed with merit, and I also ask Your Majesty to allow the conviction of the three law divisions and the final disposal." ”

The emperor took a deep breath, looked up at Di Renjie, and asked, "Di Renjie used to be the head of Dali Temple, and now he is the imperial history, how should this matter be punished." ”

"Remove the official and seize the title, and exile Lingnan." Di Renjie seriously gave his hand, according to the law, after discussing the merits and discussing the lord, he should be dealt with like this.

Xue Rengui and Guo Beifeng were also dealt with in this way.

"Ugh." Li Zhi sighed lightly and said: "Thinking of Ermen and my family, avoid death, dismiss the official and seize the title, and exile ......"

"Changzhou." Li Xuan arched his hand and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, next year's attack on Tanggula Mountain, the whole army will be able to break through Tanggula Mountain and take Luo, and then the court needs to send a large number of officials to Luo, if there are guilty ministers, please take Langya County as an example, and send all of them to Luo. ”

Li Zhi glanced up at Li Xuan, and said with some amusement: "The criminal ministers of Hebei Province before, and now there is Xiao Siye, you must be the king of Nanchang." ”

"Your Majesty, according to the law, exile for three thousand miles, and Tanggula Mountain is also three thousand miles away, in accordance with the law." Li Xuan gave up again.

Li Zhi knocked lightly on the table and said: "In next year's battle, the Turks and Tibetans are the focus, but you need to know that I can't give you too much extra support, on the contrary, I have to take a lot of money from you, regardless of weapons, craftsmen and generals, you have to be prepared." ”

Li Xuan's expression was extremely solemn, and he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, as long as there is no mistake in the grain, grass, soldiers and ordnance allocated to Luo by the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, there is no delay in the transfer of the order that should be done, and there is no problem here." ”

"Okay, I will let the prince keep an eye on you, whoever dares to stretch out his hand, who dares to slacken, I will send him to the front of the army and listen to your orders." Li Zhi slapped the imperial case heavily.

Li Xuan bowed: "The minister's decree." ”

"Alright, get up, don't kneel." Li Zhi's eyes fell on Xiao Siye.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you King Nanchang." Xiao Siye stood up with his hands and breathed a sigh of relief.

For him, the climate in Luojia is not much better than that in Lingnan, and the only thing that can make him willing to go to Luosome is because there are still opportunities for meritorious service in front of the Luosome army.

Xue Rengui was not the same as he was dismissed from his post back then, but he quickly rose on the front line of Andong Dao, and within a few years, he was the commander of the army again.

It's a pity that he made a mistake later, so he was assigned to Xiangzhou to serve as a assassin.

Li Zhi said softly: "The big victory on the northern front this time has given me some face, otherwise it will be this year, I will not have a good time, Xiao Qing, after you go back, write the seal and fold it, I want to know the specific situation of the front line now." ”

"Grass People's Command." Xiao Siye seriously gave it up.

Although he has been cut down from his post now, his eyes are still there, especially after this incident, he has a clearer understanding of the situation in the grassland.

"King Nanchang, you also have more contact with Xiao Qing, I want to know your judgment on the battle of the grassland." Li Zhi turned around and looked at Li Xuan.

"Whoa!" Li Xuan bowed his hand heavily.

Now on the grassland front, although there are three generals, Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui and Gao Kan, the emperor still hopes to look at this problem from other angles.

Li Xuan is a good candidate.

As the head of the march of the Logos, he was a good fit.

……

Under Danfeng's door, Li Xuan and Di Renjie watched Xiao Siye being helped into the carriage by his family, and his originally thin body finally stabilized after this experience.

Xiao Song, Xiao Hua stepped forward and bowed his hand to Li Xuan, and said sincerely: "Thank you King Nanchang this time." ”

"You're welcome, this matter is also Your Majesty's kindness." Li Xuan glanced at Xiao Siye and said, "This king will leave Beijing on the ninth day of the next month, and during this time, the county prince will have a good rest." ”

"Whoa." Xiao Song and Xiao Hua gave up at the same time.

Watching the carriage leave, Li Xuan glanced back at the Zichen Hall behind him, and then bowed heavily.
