Chapter 489 Disposal
After Xiao Siye and others arrived in Monan, they relied on Xiao Siye's prestige among the Eastern Turks and the strength of the Tang army's combat effectiveness.

East Turkic Asdwin Fu and Fengzhi Erbu were not opponents, and the Tang army frequently won the court in the first battles.

The Tang army suppressed the Eastern Turks all the way, pursued and fought fiercely, and won many victories. The good news spread to Chang'an, and Li Chengqian and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all happy.

In order to celebrate the victory, the city of Chang'an canceled the curfew for three days.

Just as the whole city was silently cheering, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace had a gloomy expression on his face. At this rate, it wouldn't take long for Xiao Siye and the others to put down the rebellion completely and return to the imperial court.

The plan that Li Jingxuan said could not be implemented at all, didn't he mean to make Monan's counter-insurgency fail?Will it weaken the power of Wu Wang Li Ke?
The more Li Jue thought about it, the more depressed he became, so he sent someone quietly to Li Jingxuan's residence to ask Li Jingxuan what was going on.

The answer he got was to let him be calm and calm, everything was under Li Jingxuan's control, and there would be no mistakes.

"Did he really tell you that? Did you miss anything?" Li Jue confirmed again.

"Your Highness! This servant conveyed the words of You Shuzi verbatim, without any omissions, that's what You Shuzi said."

"He said that His Highness would have to wait a few more days for the results, and he hoped that His Highness could make preparations earlier." The eunuch said.

What the hell is Li Jingxuan doing?Wait, wait, wait, until when?
"Okay, you step back! Don't disturb the widow if you have nothing to do." Li Jue said.

"No!" The eunuch bowed and retreated.

Chang'an is still silent in the joy of the Monan victory.

this day.

A fast horse came galloping from a distance, and rushed into Chang'an City in a flash.

The emperor in the Daming Palace received the latest battle report from Monan and was immediately furious.

Because the Tang army's frequent victories caused them to relax their vigilance and slack defenses, and the heavy snow caused the soldiers to be cold and the camps to be disorganized.

The Eastern Turks seized this opportunity and attacked the Tang army's camp at night. Xiao Siye broke out of the camp and fled in embarrassment. The Tang army was in chaos and suffered countless casualties.

Hua Dazhi and Li Jingjia packed up the remnants, fought and retreated, and fled back.

All the previous efforts of Datang, as well as the fruits of victory, were all wiped out in an instant.

After Prince Li Jue learned about it, he was overjoyed, and immediately went to the table to participate in Liu Rengui's improper recommendation.

Wu Wang Li Ke also had an unshirkable responsibility, which finally led to this incident, and demanded that the emperor be severely punished.

"This son of mine is really stupid! He doesn't even know he's being used as a spearman, he doesn't even have a city, and he can't hold back at all." After reading Li Jue's memorial, Li Chengqian was furious .

Before anyone else said anything, the crown prince was the first to jump out. This was obviously a thunderstorm for others.

"The prince is also concerned about the fight against the rebellion in Monan, so he is so eager." Pei Xingjian said.

"You don't have to speak for the prince. He is stupid and has no brains. Once he handed over this book, he should be the king of Wu."

"My third younger brother is also a person who is not willing to be an empress, and then Li Jingxuan's paper will definitely be presented after King Wu." Li Chengqian waved his hand.

How could he not be clear about what these people were thinking. They were all more or less responsible for the failure of the Monan counter-insurgency this time, and they would definitely admit their mistakes on the table.

If the prince makes such a fuss, things will change into another matter.

"Report to everyone! Wu Wang, Li Ke and others jointly signed the list." An eunuch came in and said.

"Submit it!" Li Chengqian said.

The eunuch hurried forward and put all the memorials in front of Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian picked up the notebook and looked through it, all the memorials were asking the emperor to severely punish Xiao Siye, the general who suppressed the rebellion, nothing else.

"Look, the king of Wu, Li Ke, and others all demanded that I severely punish Xiao Siye, saying that the failure this time was entirely Xiao Siye's fault."

"Hua Dazhi and Li Jingjia were not only right, but they also gathered the remnants and stopped the Turkic attack, which is considered a great achievement. Although guilty, it can be regarded as making up for it." Li Chengqian said.

"Xiao Siye, as the general, let down his vigilance because of the victory, so that our army was defeated. There is indeed an inescapable responsibility. The crime is not small."

"Hua Dazhi and Li Jingjia are deputy managers, but they are as proud and complacent as Xiao Siye, and they have the same unshirkable responsibility and guilt." Pei Xingjian said.

"I would like to report to everyone! I will join hands with Li Jingxuan, the third rank of Zhongshu sect, and others." Before Li Chengqian could speak, another eunuch ran in and said.

This time it was a memorial from Li Jingxuan's forces. After Li Chengqian read it, it was just as he expected.

Li Jingxuan and others tried their best to excuse Xiao Siye, and put all the responsibility for the failure of the rebellion in Monan to Hua Dazhi and Li Jingjia, and asked the emperor to punish them severely.

"Li Jingxuan and others, like Wu Wang and Li Ke, are trying to excuse their people and want to put all the responsibility on the other party."

"Now it's not as simple as the failure of Monan's rebellion. The open and covert struggle above the court is the most terrifying, a war without gunpowder smoke." Li Chengqian said.

"How does His Majesty plan to deal with Xiao Siye and the others? This time Monan lost, the arrogance of the Eastern Turks will only become more arrogant." Pei Xingjian asked.

How to deal with it?Naturally, they should be severely punished, and a warning should be given to Li Jingxuan, Li Ke and others, no matter how dare they hide any tricks in it, they should look good.

"What do you think I should do with them?" Li Chengqian asked.

"I don't dare to speculate on this matter. Your Majesty still needs to make an arbitrary decision." Pei Xingjian said.

"Because of the negligence of Xiao Siye, Hua Dazhi and Li Jingjia, Monan finally failed in the rebellion. The crime is unforgivable and should be executed!"

"But thinking about it is considered meritorious service. I will pardon their capital crimes. Capital crimes can be forgiven, but living crimes cannot be escaped. I will pass on my edict."

"Xiao Siye, Hua Dazhi, and Li Jingjia were not good enough to put down the rebellion. They should be beheaded to show the public as a warning to others. Remembering them is also considered a contribution to the Tang Dynasty. Let them pardon their capital crimes."

"Xiao Siye and others have owed the emperor's favor! They were removed from all official positions, demoted to common people, and exiled to Guizhou." Li Chengqian said.

The staff of Zhongshushe hurriedly wrote down the emperor's will, showed it to the emperor, and the emperor drew an edict, and then sent it to the province for review. After there was no problem, it was signed by the officials of the three provinces and executed by the province of Shangshu.

The problem of Xiao Siye and others has been dealt with, and Li Ke and others are also warned, so that the forces of Li Ke and Li Jingxuan will not dare to jump up and down, and everyone is quiet.

But the problem of the Eastern Turkic rebellion in Monan still exists.

This remains the most pressing issue for the authorities at present.

Xiao Siye and others were exiled by the emperor because they failed to quell the rebellion, and the court had to re-select people to quell the rebellion.
