Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 921
"Look at you, what do you look like, where do you think this is, and who do you think you are? Do you think this is a vegetable market, and you still think you are that blacksmith?"

The emperor's questioning made Yu Chigong sober.

He looked around, lowered his guilty head, and knew that he was impulsive and got into trouble.

Luo Cheng didn't rush to his throne, he stood in the middle of the hall, pointed at Yu Chigong's nose and scolded him, "The north has just been pacified, and the world has not yet been unified, you generals have started to fly and domineer? Tian is still discussing with the prime ministers about the seal, but look at the current situation, a group of princes are actually fighting in a palace banquet!"

"Your Majesty, I was wrong."

Yu Chigong regretted it too much, and knelt down on one knee to plead guilty.

"You are indeed wrong, and it is a bit outrageous. You must be severely punished before you can wake up. Warm the edict, immediately draft the edict, Yu Chigong was demoted to the founding Duke of Mayi County, and the food town was reduced to eight hundred households. , demoted to Xiping County Commandant, demoted from the fifth rank to the rank of general Sanjie, and left Beijing to take up his post three days later."

With such a heavy relegation, Yu Chigong didn't dare to make a sound.

He also had a period of time with the emperor, and he knew that sometimes the faster the emperor had an attack, the less he really took it to heart.

From the third-rank military general to the casual rank under the fifth rank, to the fourth-rank county lieutenant, and from the central court to the Qinghai Lake, this effort is not insignificant.

But the emperor scolded him so heavily just now, and the current disposition actually leaves room for him, at least to serve as a county lieutenant in Xiping County, which is still a matter of real power.After all, after the unification of the north, the imperial court has begun to recuperate. Although it is not possible to engage in military and military repairs, it has indeed readjusted civil, military, military and political affairs.

At the Dao level, there are not only three divisions and six envoys, but also the prefect at the county level, who is in charge of the military and military, and the civil and military division.

He was not demoted to the local area to serve as a long history or a Sima, which indeed left room.

"Chen Yuchi respectfully accepts the imperial edict, thank you!"

"Go back!"

Yu Chigong was ashamed to stay and participate in the banquet, so he resigned, and the emperor agreed.

Li Mi stood aside with a blue nose and face, seeing Yu Chigong, the emperor's confidant thug, being punished so severely, he knew that he would not be well today.

"Your Majesty, I apologize."

Luo Cheng glanced at Li Mi, "It's good to know that you are guilty, I treat you well, and I hope you can understand. Now you will be removed from the post of Taichangqing, and then you will be demoted to be appointed Marquis!"

He was originally the Duke of Pushan County, and this title was still the family title of their Li family, but now he was suddenly demoted to be a Marquis, so this title clearly has a meaning.

But Li Mi can't be unhappy yet, so he can't go forward to thank him.

"Reserve five hundred households in Zhenfeng Shiyi with you, and read and reflect at home."

Luo Cheng went over to look into Li Daozong's eyes, "Imperial doctor!"

The imperial doctor came up to look at it, and said that the injury was not serious, but if he was treated in time, his eyes could be saved, but his eyesight would definitely be damaged in the future, and he might not be able to bear the wind in the future.

"Li Daozong, I appointed you Sima of Daifang County. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can go to work with Xu Shiji of Daifang County, Andong. Do things with peace of mind, and don't disappoint the expectations of the court and me."

Li Daozong also suffered an accident today. He was almost blinded in one eye, and in the end he was demoted to North Korea as a Sima.

As for Li Shimin, Luo Cheng just glanced at him, then let it go with a snort.

Li Shimin was irritated by this cold snort.

"This is not fair!"

Luo Cheng turned his head, "What is fairness?"

"Yu Chigong was arrogant and domineering. He beat officials, but he was demoted without pain. Li Daozong should be exiled to North Korea for no reason. Isn't it fair?"

Luo Cheng thought about it.

"I have previously planned to establish Woye County, Huaishuo County, Wuchuan County, Fuming County, Rouxuan County, Huaihuang County, and Yuyi County in the north of Yinshan and Yanshan on the basis of the original six towns in the Northern Wei Dynasty. These seven counties To defend the frontiers of the northern frontier, we need a powerful minister, Li Shimin, I will strip you of your title and demote you as Sima of Wuchuan County, and go to the north to guard the frontier."

Li Shimin looked at the emperor coldly, "Aren't you afraid that I will rebel after I go to Wuchuan? Or go directly to the Turks or Tiele people?"

From Yunzhong to the north, the road to the fortress goes from Jinyang to the east, passing through Yunzhong, Huaihuang to the desert.On the west side, it runs from Yunzhong through Woye, Yanshan to the desert.

In the middle is Wuchuan, on Yinshan Road.

The ancients said that to the north of Yinshan Mountain is the Gobi Desert. The Gobi is thousands of miles from east to west, and also thousands of miles from north to south.

Deyin Mountain, if you look at it from a height, you can see all the traces, so the six towns are important places.

The Northern Wei Dynasty believed that Shuozhou was the key point of the Baidao, and if it was not complete, it would be in danger. Wuchuan became the barrier to the north of Shuozhou.

Although the Great Qin broke through the Turks in the north and took all the land south of the Yinshan Mountain under the direct jurisdiction, Luo Cheng still believed that the defense line must be pushed to the north of the Yinshan Mountain. Therefore, after discussing with the prime ministers for a long time, he decided not to build the Great Wall, but to build the Great Wall on the Yinshan Mountain. From the north to Yanshan North, the northern boundary line, seven counties were established.

Then build cities and fortresses, establish imperial pastures, farm fields and herds simultaneously, garrison troops and emigrate, and defend borders and expand land.

Directly build the frontier castle in the south of the desert, so that after the grassland tribes in the north of the desert cross the desert with long yellow sand, they will have no foothold and cannot threaten the northern border.

Areas that can adapt to farming, such as Yunzhong and Hetao, will become stable agricultural areas that will not be invaded.

In order to show that, Luo Cheng made an exception and established these newly established places as counties.

Li Shimin's ancestor was once a soldier in Wuchuan Town, and later his great-grandfather Li Hucai became a member of the Guanlong Group and became the Eight Pillar Kingdom of the Western Wei Dynasty.Now the emperor Luo Cheng has asked him to serve as Sima in the newly established Wuchuan County.

Luo Cheng smiled.

"Since I dare you to go, I don't worry about it. Of course, if you really can't think about it and do these stupid things, then it won't be any trouble for me. The trouble is only you."

Returning Hou Wang Shichong and Disobedient Hou Dou Jiande were seated next to each other, but the two just drank wine and watched the play from beginning to end, without any intention of interfering.

Dou Jiande, who was originally the Marquis of Chongli, failed to return in time, and was finally named a disobedient Marquis after he was defeated and surrendered. Fortunately, it was Cao Bao who resisted the Qin army wholeheartedly in the end, so he could stay rich after surrendering.

Dou Jiande didn't care about the Sima of Daifang County, the lieutenant of Xiping County, and the Sima of Wuchuan County. He knew very well that although he surrendered to Qin, he, like Li Mi and Wang Shichong, would find it difficult to get the real Qin Emperor Luocheng in his life. It is even more impossible to grant them any real and important positions.

It would be nice to be able to take a part-time job in Chang'an and spend the rest of my life in peace.

Wang Shichong saw that Li Shimin's rebellion against the emperor was fine, and he couldn't help but sighed, "Li Yuan really can't figure it out. If he returns to Qin, he won't lose a title of obedient marquis."

Dou Jiande ignored him and just poured himself another glass of wine.

The wine entered the throat, full of bitterness.
