The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 768 Murder

The first three are okay, but the last one is a direct violation of His Majesty's taboo, and if it is not done well, someone will have to be brought out to serve as an example to others.

"Oh? So it looks like this, Li Ke." His Majesty Li Er's eyes fell on Li Ke.

"My son is here." Li Ke cupped his hands in response.

"When the Xuanjia Army is training, if there are irrelevant people trying to spy on it, how will the Xuanjia Army deal with it?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

The Xuanjia Army is the son of heaven and the emperor, but no one dares to spy on the training of the Xuanjia Army at the risk of the world. Everyone present with common sense knows this.

"Father, since the establishment of the Xuanjia Army, no one has ever dared to spy around, whether it is setting up camp or training soldiers. However, if you find such people according to the military regulations, you must not report them and kill them." Li Ke replied.

Li Ke's answer made many people present gasp. Now those who were sent out to spy on the news are all locked in the cells of the Shenhou Mansion. If the people of the Shenhou Mansion want to kill them, This time I really can't keep it. Even if I get it before His Majesty, not only can't I keep it, but I might be implicated in it, so I choose the lesser of the two. In the end, I really have no choice but to abandon those people.

Some people were also thinking in their hearts, even if they were abandoned, would the people from the Shenhou Mansion really dare to kill people?It doesn't matter if there are one or two, if the number increases, I am afraid that the Shenhou Mansion will also have to weigh it.
It's just that everyone seems to have overlooked one thing, that is, the morale of the army before the expedition. The Shenhou Mansion arrested many people. This matter is already an open secret in Chang'an City. Many people You know, it also includes some officers and soldiers. If it is spread like this, it will be spread to the barracks, what will the soldiers in the barracks think?
The Marquis of Dongshan trained his troops in Dongshan County for the purpose of going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and the result?Being suspected by a large group of people, is it because we are training soldiers to go to the battlefield, and these officials in the rear are also monitoring them secretly and calculating them?

Last night, His Majesty Li Er had already considered the impact of this matter on the army, so he got up early in the morning in the court hall, and then he punched hard, and his words made the courtiers below fall silent.

"Your Majesty, calm down." Changsun Wuji stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Dongshan trained in the camp in Dongshan County. After all, they were ambush soldiers who had just formed an army, not such a huge monster as the Xuanjia Army. I feel that this matter is unnecessary. Such a fuss."

"Oh? The auxiliary machine thinks that I'm making a fuss out of a molehill?" His Majesty Li Er looked at Zhangsun Wuji with sharp eyes. Some words of his brother-in-law Guanyin's maidservant are right.

"This..." Hearing the tone of His Majesty Li Er's words, Changsun Wuji's heart beat, but he was also helpless. Changsun Chong was also involved in this matter.

"Huh!" His Majesty Li Er snorted coldly: "The court has national laws, and the military camp has military regulations. The Marquis of Dongshan is busy training troops in Dongshan County and preparing to go to Liaodong with the army to serve the country, but he didn't realize it. In addition, you have to be distracted by those all-pervasive spies every day!"

What His Majesty Li Er said was quite straightforward. Spy, as soon as the word was uttered, the faces of some people in the court turned pale in an instant.

"Perhaps the spies sent out by some people have successfully inquired back the news, or the spies sent out are staying in the cell of the Shenhou Mansion, but it is undeniable that these practices really make the soldiers in the barracks Chilling!" His Majesty Li Er's words were resounding. If this matter was not handled properly, it would easily arouse the resentment of the soldiers in the army. Today in the court, what His Majesty Li Er will do is to To reassure the generals and the soldiers in the army, secondly, to frustrate the arrogance of some aristocratic families, and to make trouble for others, it also depends on when!
When the emperor was angry, he buried millions of corpses and blood flowed for thousands of miles. This sentence can be said on the battlefield of Liaodong. As for the court, the emperor said that it is enough to kill without blood.

"Your Majesty, calm down." The officials standing below all bowed their hands and saluted, speaking to appease His Majesty Li Er.

It's just that what he did today made His Majesty Li Er even more angry after seeing it. He didn't think about the consequences when he did it. Now that he knows to appease his anger, what did he do earlier!
"I know that many spies caught in Dongshan County are detained in the cells of Shenhou Mansion." His Majesty Li Er said, "Li Ke stops."

"My son is here." Li Ke clapped his hands again in response.

"It's up to you to do this matter. With my will, go to the Shenhou Mansion to ask for someone." His Majesty Li Er said.

Hearing His Majesty Li Er's words, some people below breathed a sigh of relief, as long as people are no longer in the Shenhou Mansion, that's fine, that's fine.But His Majesty Li Er's next words made their hearts just let go, and instantly fell into the ice cellar.

"Escort people to the Xuanjia army barracks, and be the leader in front of everyone!"

As soon as this remark came out, the whole court was in an uproar.He even ordered it to be killed just like that!

"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate." Immediately someone stood up to object, and this person was Doctor Zuo Guanglu, Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng was born as a speech officer, and he used to be an advising doctor. His function is the same as that of Yushitai's censor, but his status is not comparable to that of Yushitai.

"Your Majesty, although the spies imprisoned in the cell of the Shenhou Mansion went to Dongshan County to investigate the news, Dongshan County trained only three hundred soldiers. , The rules of the Xuanjia Army are not suitable for these three hundred soldiers." Wei Zheng said.

"Master Wei Zheng, what you mean is that the three hundred soldiers of the Marquis of Dongshan are no match for the Xuanjia Army, are they not as good as the Xuanjia Army?" Cheng Yaojin stood up, looked at Wei Zheng and said.

My family has to be protected no matter what, my eldest son is still in the camp in Dongshan County.

"Lu Guogong was born as a military general, I'm afraid he understands better than this old man, how can he compare?" Wei Zhengwei said with his eyes closed.

"Why can't it be compared? The Xuanjia Army was just an ordinary soldier before. Could it be that the three hundred soldiers in Dongshan County have fewer arms and fewer legs than the Xuanjia Army? If that's true, I see, this We don’t need to go to Liaodong, it’s the turn of disabled people to go to the battlefield in Tang Dynasty, and I, Cheng, can’t afford to lose him.”

Cheng Yaojin said this in the court hall, which was enough to anger people, but Wei Zheng seemed to have gotten used to Cheng Yaojin's hob meat, and he didn't have the same knowledge as Cheng Yaojin, so he still held Wuban and said to His Majesty Li Er: " Your Majesty, please think twice."

"Master Wei! The soldiers in Dongshan County are also soldiers, and the Xuanjia Army is also soldiers! Although the soldiers in Dongshan County spend less time training, I can assure you that the three hundred soldiers in Dongshan County will never How much worse than the Xuanjia Army!" Cheng Yaojin said loudly.
