Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 407 Punishment
Just as Li Chengqian said, the rebellion in Mobei has nothing to do with Tubo.

Even in order to make Mobei more chaotic, Lun Qinling also suggested that Lu Dongzan dispatch an elite group of thousands of people, disguised as people from the Nine Divisions of Tie Le, and quietly lurk in Mobei.

When they arrive in Mobei, find the right time to strike, and make sure the situation becomes more chaotic, so that they can fish in troubled waters.

Zheng Rentai fought with Tie Le's nine tribes on Tianshan Mountain. Xue Rengui shot and killed three generals of the enemy army with three arrows, scaring the enemy army off their horses and begging to surrender.

Before leaving, Li Chengqian repeatedly asked them not to kill the prisoners without authorization, and to give them preferential treatment as long as the other party surrendered.

Tubo saw that Mobei gradually began to subside under the crusade of the Tang army, and most of the Nine Tribes of Tiele surrendered without a fight, so they made a plan to make these Nine Tribes of Tiele who had just surrendered not long ago riot again.

The Tubo elite lurking in Mobei took the opportunity to cause chaos, causing Mobei to fall into turmoil again. Zheng Rentai and others ordered troops to kill the surrendered soldiers, and rewarded their soldiers with plunder.

Xue Rengui even killed the surrendered soldiers, crossed Qibei and continued to pursue Tie Le's defeated army, and even captured the three Ye Hu brothers alive.

After Xue Rengui received his troops, his heroic deeds were sung in the army: "The general three arrows set the Tianshan Mountain, and the strong man entered Hanguan with a long song."

But even so, Mobei still did not calm down, but became more and more chaotic, which made Mobei's people panic.

The news from Mobei spread to Chang'an, and the memorials to impeach Zheng Rentai and Xue Rengui piled up in front of Li Chengqian like snowflakes.

"Report to Your Majesty! Minister Sixian Dafu Yang Deyi has a copy of the instructions." Yang Deyi stood in the middle of the hall holding a jade wat and shouted loudly.

Without him asking, Li Chengqian also knew what he wanted to play, nothing more than to impeach Zheng Rentai, Xue Rengui and others to suppress the rebellion.

It's not all their fault, and Tubo is playing tricks in the dark. Li Chengqian can't say these things, even if he says that these people who are far away in the capital may not believe them.

They will only believe in the information in their hands and what they can see with their own eyes, not to mention those conspiracies and tricks that the censor above the court cannot understand.

"What did Yang Aiqing play?" Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty! I want to impeach Zheng Rentai, the general manager of Tieledao's march, and Xue Rengui, the deputy director. The two of them will kill the captives who have surrendered, causing the nine tribes of Tiele to escape."

"If you don't appease the soldiers, you don't count the rewards, so you let the bones cover the field, and you even throw away the armor to support the enemy."

"Since the founding of the Holy Dynasty, there has never been a loser like today. Benevolence is precious to the prisoner. He is greedy and does not know how to restrain himself. What he has gained is not enough to make up for what he has lost. I implore your majesty to hand them over to prison and punish them according to their crimes." .” Yang Deyi said.

"I know what Aiqing played!" Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty! If you don't punish them, how can you rectify the law? During the Zhenguan period, the Duke of Lu State pacified Gaochang, and was imprisoned for corruption and looting."

"How can Zheng Rentai, Xue Rengui, etc. be an exception? Your Majesty, please order them to be punished." Seeing that Li Chengqian did not intend to punish Zheng Rentai and others, Yang Deyi brought up the case of Hou Junji.

"The text of Zhongshu Lingcen during the Zhenguan period also wrote to the late emperor, saying that Hou Junji was a hero and general, and he should not be humiliated lightly, and asked the late emperor to release Hou Junji."

"How did the first emperor do it? Didn't he release Duke Junji of Lu State in the end? Zheng Rentai and Xue Rengui are both heroes and generals of our Tang Dynasty. If Hou Junji can be forgiven, why can't they?" Li Chengqian retorted.

Yang Deyi had nothing to say when he was refuted. He originally wanted to use the incident of Hou Junji to remind Li Chengqian to strictly punish Zheng Rentai and others for their crimes.

I never expected to be refuted by Li Chengqian in this way, and I didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Although Zheng Rentai and others have done something, they also have merit. The merits and demerits of the two of them offset each other and will not be held accountable." Li Chengqian said.

Even the emperor said not to pursue it, what else can others say.

"Your Majesty! I have a copy of the instructions!" A censor stood up and said with a jade wat in his hand.

Li Chengqian frowned, didn't he mean that this matter was just exposed?How come someone still stands up.

"What's the matter?" Li Chengqian said, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

"My minister wants to impeach Yang Deyi, the constitutional official." Yu Shi said.

Li Chengqian suddenly became interested, he really wanted to hear why this censor impeached Yang Deyi.

"Why did Aiqing want to impeach Yang Qing?" Li Chengqian said.

"Report to Your Majesty! The servant, Master Xu's son, Xu Tianran, shot and killed others when he was out, but the servant concealed the matter and did not report it. Sixian Doctor Yang Deyi even helped Master Xu to conceal the matter because of this, and he helped Master Xu to conceal the incident."

"Yang Aiqing, Xu Aiqing, whether what the censor said is true or not is not true." Li Chengqian scolded.

"Your Majesty! The old minister is guilty!" Master Xu Yu came out and knelt down on the main hall, admitting that such a thing had indeed happened.

"Your Majesty! The subject is guilty!" Seeing that Master Xu Yu had confessed, Yang Deyi was going to insist on denying it, fearing that there would be no good fruit to eat.

Li Chengqian is so angry!Just now, this Yang Deyi corrected the law one by one. After a long time, it turned out that he himself first practiced favoritism and cheated.

You know you have violated the law, how can you make others abide by the law, a guy who is doing favoritism and cheating, has the face to tell him to rectify the law, it is simply ridiculous!
Xu Jingzong went out to salute and said, "Your Majesty! Such a crime cannot be punished!"

"Master Xu Yu covered up his son's shooting and killing others. His crime is unforgivable. He was removed from the post of servant and demoted to the governor of Qianzhou."

"Master Xu Yu's son is handed over to Dali Temple to deal with, and he will pay for his life!"

"Yang Deyi, the Sixian doctor, shielded criminals, cheated for personal gain, and even deceived his subordinates. He committed a heinous crime. He was dismissed from his official position and exiled to Tingzhou." Li Chengqian said.

For those who dare to deceive the superior and conceal the inferior, and engage in malpractice for personal gain, they should be dealt with strictly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!" Master Xu Yu and Yang Deyi thanked each other, the emperor was kind enough not to kill them.

The guards dragged the two of them out and escorted them out of the palace.

"The matter of Mobei should be resolved as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty! I think the matter in Mobei should be appeased, not wiped out." Xu Jingzong said.

"Xu Qing is right, so who do you think should be sent?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Your Majesty! I don't think Qili, the captain-in-law, should be suitable to appease Mobei. After all, he is from Mobei, and there is no one else suitable except him." Xu Jingzong said.

"Why Qili, Jiang Ke." Li Chengqian shouted.

"The minister is here!" Qi Li He Bi and Jiang Ke went out to salute.

"I ordered General Zuo Xiaowei Qibi He Li to be the appeasement envoy of Tie Le Dao, and Jiang Ke, the left guard general, to be the deputy appeasement envoy to go to Mobei to appease the Nine Clans of Tiele." Li Chengqian said.

"Why should Chen Qili (Jiang Ke) obey the imperial edict!" The two took orders.
