Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 147 Li Bai's Disappointment

After waiting for more than two months, the envoys of the Bohai Kingdom came again, and this time they brought not a letter of war but a letter of credence in which the King of Bohai surrendered to Datang and begged for forgiveness from Datang.

The king of Bohai was impulsive and wanted to raise troops to snatch the old place of Koguryo in Liaodong, but he was frightened by Li Bai's reply letter and persuaded by the envoy of Bohai, so he had to give up his idea in panic.

"Yes, the Great Tang Dynasty is also a great country, and its soldiers are a hundred times and a thousand times that of our Bohai Sea. In the past, when Goguryeo was at its peak, there were 30 soldiers. My Bohai Kingdom had to submit to its lustful power. Goguryeo dared to fight against Datang. It can be said that it is strong However, once the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty arrived, they still wiped out the country and the family. Our soldiers from the Bohai Kingdom did not even reach one-third of Goguryeo, so how can we defeat the Tang Dynasty!" These are the original words of the King of Bohai.

Although I was very upset and unwilling, I could only compromise and submit to Datang.

As soon as the envoy from the Bohai Kingdom came, Li Bai's contribution was fully fulfilled. Tang Xuanzong was so happy that he decided to reward Li Bai in recognition of Li Bai's contribution.

Tang Xuanzong asked Yang Guozhong what kind of official position he would give to Li Bai.

Yang Guozhong told Tang Xuanzong a sentence that determined Li Bai's future fate: "Your Majesty, Li Bai's talent may be unparalleled, but Li Bai is addicted to alcohol and almost drunk every day. Such a person has no ability to govern the country. It is better to give him some idle work. And a generous reward, just let him continue to live in peace and contentment."

Tang Xuanzong thought about it. Every time he saw Li Bai, he almost looked drunk, and he was indeed not a talent capable of governing the country.Therefore, Tang Xuanzong only gave Li Bai a vacant position of the fifth rank, and a generous gift with a total value of about [-] guan.

It was rare for Li Bai to take the initiative to wait at home without drinking, but when he received such a reward from Tang Xuanzong, he was completely dumbfounded.A mere fifth-rank job plus a lot of money?This is his Li Bai's value?
"Hahahaha——" Li Bai let out a miserable laugh, obviously the blow he received was not small.

"Bring the wine!" Li Bai yelled, and a maidservant who stayed at home immediately took out a jar of wine, Li Bai grabbed it and tore the seal off the lid and poured it with her head up. It was a very sad scene.

Chang'an City, Suzaku Street.

Doctor Zhengyi's young master and his servants were beating an ordinary citizen, during which time they also smashed up many vendors' stalls nearby, and soon the ordinary citizen was beaten until he vomited blood and fell to the ground motionless.

"My lord, he, he is dead!" the servant tried his breath and found that he was already dead, so he said in a panic

"Dead?" The son of Zhengyi doctor's eyes widened, and he seemed a little flustered. He just wanted to teach him a lesson, not beat him to death.

"Jingzhao Yamen handles the case, and the idlers wait to give way quickly." Zhan Youwei walked over with a large team of yamen servants.

"Beating someone to death and smashing so many things is a serious crime!" Zhan Youwei went to test the breath of the ordinary people who were beaten to death, then turned his head and sneered at the son who was discussing the doctor.

"No, it's none of my business." The young master who was discussing the doctor at this time completely lost the arrogance just now, and his face was full of panic.If it was Li Fei's former Jing Zhaoyin, he promised that he would have nothing to do, but Li Fei didn't show affection at all. Over the past year, how many people have fallen into Li Fei's hands.

"Take it away!" Zhan Youwei didn't care what his identity was, if he committed a crime, he would take him back to Jingzhao Yamen.

Ever since Li Fei became Jing Zhao Yin, and as Li Fei's head catcher, Zhan Youwei's back has hardened all of a sudden. Now he even dares to arrest Prime Minister Yang Guozhong's son who dares to commit crimes in the street, and he no longer acts like He was as timid as before, not even daring to arrest a son of a sixth or seventh rank official for committing a crime.

Zhan Youwei has always been a person with a sense of justice in his heart, and he hopes to do something for the common people.In the past, because he was wise and safe, he had no choice but to turn a blind eye and close his eyes, and didn't dare to care about it. Now that he has the support of Li Fei, who is not afraid of the powerful, he is willing to go all out.

For more than a year, he accepted the praise of the people and became the most famous arrester in Chang'an City. This was an honor he never dared to think of before.

The young master of Zhengyi doctor and the body of the civilian who was beaten to death were brought back to the Jingzhao Yamen. There was nothing to say, murder is a serious crime, and it is impossible to give a light sentence.

"Youde, how does this young master who is discussing the doctor abide by the laws of the country, how should he make a judgment?" Li Fei looked at his master Mao Youde with a smile, and asked Mao Youde about the laws of the country with a smile every time he made a verdict.

"My lord, for the felony of murder, even if there is a reason, you will be sentenced to more than ten years, or even exiled to Lingnan." Mao Youde replied calmly.

"Ten years? Exile?" The son who was discussing the doctor's eyes widened and almost fainted.After a while, he stared at Mao Youde firmly, as if he was betting the blame on Mao Youde, and Mao Youde judged him.There is no way, Li Fei's background is too strong, he can't afford to offend, Mao Youde is just an ordinary master.

Mao Youde didn't even lift his eyelids. After more than a year, he has become numb. Anyway, Li Fei is on top of him. He has been cheated by Li Fei in this life. He has thought clearly. Even if Fei doesn't become Jing Zhaoyin anymore, for his own life, he still has to hold on to Li Fei.

Now that he has gone all out, he is not afraid of offending others, so he can say what the national law is.

"If that's the case, let's go into exile in Lingnan." Li Fei even sentenced the second son of Xiangwu County King and Yang Guozhong's son, and it was even more impossible for a young man who was just a doctor to influence his decision, so he made the verdict immediately with a smile.

"Exile to Lingnan?" The son who was discussing the doctor fainted from fright.

--------

Discussing the doctor Liu Wenfu, when he learned that his son beat someone to death in the street and was taken away by Jingzhao Yamen, Liu Wen stood up abruptly.

When he learned that his son was severely sentenced to exile in Lingnan, Liu Wen almost fainted.

"I'm just such a son, how can I watch him being exiled and go to the Prime Minister, and I must ask him to help me." Liu Wen gritted his teeth, went out in a panic, and went straight to Yang Guozhong's Prime Minister's Mansion.

When Liu Wen said what he wanted to do, Yang Guozhong frowned, looking very embarrassed.

Come to think of it, Liu Wen has followed him since he was the servant of the household department, and he can be regarded as his confidant.Liu Wen didn't have many heirs, only one son and two daughters. Once this son was exiled to Lingnan, it was hard to say whether he would live or die.Liu Wen begged him for his only son. In theory, he had to do this favor, otherwise those who followed him would be chilled.

Yang Guozhong was in a dilemma. If there were other matters, he could solve them with just one sentence, but it was not easy to ask someone from Li Fei.

Because Li Fei didn't take him as prime minister seriously at all!
Ever since he became the Prime Minister, he has always said the same thing, no one in the civil and military court dared to oppose him, only Li Fei repeatedly hurt his face, the last time Li Fei even dared to arrest his son Yang Xuan.
