Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 337

In August of the second year of Yonghui, the imperial court made a personnel change, appointing Zhang Xing as Shangshu Youpushe, while continuing to serve as the third rank of Tongzhongshumen, and appointing Gao Jifu as servant.

For the imperial court, the next few months were the worst months of the year in the second year of Yonghui. Several barbarians from the Jimi prefecture of the Tang Dynasty rebelled against the Tang Dynasty. There was an earthquake.

This is really a natural and man-made disaster.

"Qizuo sage, hurry up at [-] li in Langzhou!" A Jinwu Guard soldier rushed over, stopped Li Chengqian's steps, knelt down in front of Li Chengqian and said.

Li Chengqian, who was about to return to Liangyi Hall to deal with government affairs, was stopped by someone, and he was shocked when he heard that Babaili was urgent!
"What happened to Langzhou? It took eight hundred miles to rush!" Li Chengqian exclaimed.

Wang Quan hastily stepped forward to take the bamboo tube from the soldiers, turned around and handed it to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian hurriedly opened the seal and poured out the urgent report inside. After opening it and reading it, he was furious. Baishuiman dared to rebel against Datang and invade Massachusetts, which made him very angry.

"Hurry up and call the left-leading general Zhao Xiaozu to the Hall of Liangyi to see me, and inform the government offices of the three provinces to prepare the edict appointing Zhao Xiaozu as the commander of the Langzhou Road Marching Army and send it to the Hall of Liangyi." Li Cheng dry road.

"No!" The eunuch took the order and left separately, one went to summon Zhao Xiaozu, and the other went to the Yamen of the three provinces to convey the emperor's will.

"Get up!" Wang Quan beckoned the eunuch to step up and return to Liangyi Hall.

The soldiers of the Jinwu Guard who were kneeling on the ground hurriedly stood aside, gave way to the emperor, and watched Li Chengqian and his party leave before returning to their posts.

As soon as Li Chengqian arrived at the Hall of Liangyi, Zhao Xiaozu rushed to the Hall of Liangyi on his back.

"General Zhao Xiaozu, who leads the army on the left, see the saint." Zhao Xiaozu saluted Li Chengqian.

"Free from courtesy!" Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you sage!" Zhao Xiaozu thanked En and said, "I don't know if the sage summoned the minister to see you so urgently, what happened?"

"I just received an urgent call from Langzhou eight hundred miles. The Baishui barbarians in Langzhou rebelled against Datang and invaded our state capital, Mazhou. I want you to lead troops to Langzhou to quell the rebellion and control the situation." Li Chengqian said .

"I would like to put down the Baishuiman rebellion for the sage, and recover Langzhou and other places." Zhao Xiaozu said.

"I will appoint you as the chief of the Langzhou Road March, and you will lead the army to quell the Baishuiman." Li Chengqian said.

"I obey the order!" Zhao Xiaozu said.

"The situation is urgent. You immediately go to the Ministry of War to get the fish talisman and set off for Langzhou immediately. This is the edict appointing you as the commander of the Langzhou Road Marching Army." Li Chengqian said.

On the way back to Liangyi Hall, Li Chengqian sent people to the three provinces to spread the word and drafted an edict appointing Zhao Xiaozu as the general manager of the Langzhou Road.

Before Zhao Xiaozu came to Liangyi Hall, after the officials of the three provinces signed it, the edict was handed over to Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian drew the characters on the edict and stamped it with a seal.

"The minister leads the edict!" Zhao Xiaozu bowed, stretched out his hands to receive the edict, exited the Hall of Liangyi, and went straight to the Ministry of War.

After Zhao Xiaozu took the fish talisman from the Ministry of War, he immediately set off for Langzhou, and dispatched soldiers from the state capitals near Langzhou to fight against Baishuiman.

"Everyone! The Jinwu Guard caught a man who climbed over the palace wall and entered Zuo Zangshu of Taifu Temple to steal." An eunuch came to report.

Just now Zhao Xiaozu was sent to quell the rebellion in Langzhou, but there were thieves in this palace, and Li Chengqian was furious.

What's going on with this lately?First there were barbarians who rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, and now some people dare to steal Zuo Zangshu, who is in charge of money, silk, miscellaneous colors, and Tianxia Fudiao.

It really took the guts of the ambitious leopard, he wants to see, who is it?Dare to steal the money of the court.

"Who would dare to be so bold as to steal Zuo Zang Shunei's belongings?" Li Chengqian asked.

"I want to tell you all! It was Marquis Zuo who drove Lu Wencao over the palace wall to Zuo Zangshu to steal. He was discovered by the Jinwu Guard who was passing by on patrol, so he didn't succeed." The eunuch said.

"Bring him to me to have a look, I want to see if he has three heads and six arms." Li Chengqian gritted his teeth.

Baishuiman rebelled, and he was already very angry when he committed crimes in Massachusetts. Now there is another incident of stealing by a court official, which makes Li Chengqian even more unhappy.

"No!" The eunuch took the order to retreat, and after a while, he brought two Jinwu guards and escorted Lu Wencao to Li Chengqian.

"See the saint!" The two soldiers clasped their fists together and saluted.

"The sinful minister, Zuo Wuhou, don't drive Lu Wencao, and pay homage to the saint!" Lu Wencao knelt down and bowed.

"Lu Wencao, are you convicted?" Li Chengqian asked.

"The guilty minister is guilty!" Lu Wencao hastily pleaded guilty and confessed.

He knew in his heart that it was useless to quibble, only by being honest could he be lenient, who made Lu Wencao unlucky, Zuo Zangshu had just got his money, before he was happy, he was discovered by the people of the Jinwu Guard.

Then, he was captured by the Jinwu Guards, but he was also a bachelor. Seeing that there was no way to escape, he didn't resist at all, and let the Jinwu Guards capture him directly.

Anyway, it was meaningless to resist, and instead he would suffer a severe beating. In order to avoid the pain of flesh and blood, Lu Wencao cooperated very well, and it was no effort for the Jinwu Guard to take him down.

"As Marquis Zuo, don't drive, your duty is to supervise the picketing, but you know the law and break the law. You didn't do a good job in the supervision and picketing work, and even staged a scene of self-stealing. Tell me, how should I deal with you?" Li Chengqian said .

"The guilty minister knows that he has sinned deeply, and I ask the saint to see that the guilty minister has no merit or hard work in the past. Since the criminal minister is only a first-time offender, I ask the saint to give him a lighter punishment." Lu Wencao said hastily.

"Hmph!" Li Chengqian snorted coldly: "You committed such a crime and still thought I would forgive you. If I forgive you today."

"Tomorrow others will follow your example and look over the high wall to go to Zuo Zangshu to steal property. That's okay! Someone, pull Lu Wencao down and behead him! Just to make a warning to others!"

The soldiers of the Jinwu Guard immediately stepped forward and pulled Lu Wencao out, ready to behead him.

"The saint is merciful! The saint spares his life!" Lu Wencao panicked and kept struggling, begging Li Chengqian to spare his life.

No matter how much Lu Wencao struggled, it was useless. The hands of two Jinwu guards clamped him tightly like iron tongs and dragged him out.

It's also because Lu Wen didn't have a good life, he was not caught sooner or later, but it happened that Li Chengqian had just learned about Baishuiman's rebellion.

Whoever let Lu Wencao bump into Li Chengqian's gun at this juncture, it would be strange if he didn't take his anger out on him.

If Lu Wencao had been arrested before this incident, or a month or two later, maybe Li Chengqian would not have become so angry and ordered him to be executed.

It's all the result of fate.
