The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

136 Severe punishment

136 Severe punishment

Especially those ministers who praised Li Erying for his brilliance, martial arts, and decisive tactics were sweating on their foreheads at this time, and they were very embarrassed.

After all, they had just praised Li Er, but they were slapped in the face before they retired from the court. At the same time, they also recognized the difference between themselves and those important ministers.

No wonder they have been standing there indifferently, no wonder they are very calm about this, they must have already discovered the clues.

"Squeak~~"

The gate of the Tai Chi Hall was pushed open again, and those soldiers who were in a hurry came in from outside the gate, all of them looked ashamed and did not dare to meet Li Er's eyes.

After all, delaying a military plane is a felony of beheading, not to mention they delayed the will of the Holy Majesty.

Li Er asked in a gloomy tone: "Why were you thrown on Suzaku Street!? Can you see clearly who did it!?"

Asking this question is just a matter of scene. After all, Li Er has just been praised by the minister. The better the praise, the crueler the reality, and the hotter the pain on his face.

He thought to himself: These trash, let me lose face in front of my old brothers, and that Bai Jingyi must be obstructed, otherwise, who would dare to stop my messenger! ?

And those people said with a little hesitation: "Return to the words of the Holy Master! You will be hijacked at the station outside the city!"

"If you go back to the Holy Master, the last general will be hijacked before leaving Chang'an City!"

After hearing this, Li Er's face became even more ugly, and he thought to himself: "If there is no internal response, why would these messengers be hijacked in the middle of the night, I am afraid that Bai Jingyi has already arrived in Liangzhou by now.",

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, but Li Er couldn't guess who the ghost in the palace was. After all, even if there was a ghost, it must be someone of high authority.

But there are only a few who can know the news, and there are almost no people who dare to hijack the messengers, and these generals dare not
The atmosphere in the Tai Chi Hall was so heavy and depressing that the civil and military officials present were almost breathless.

Immediately, Li Er said with a gloomy expression: "You wait to step back first!"

After these messengers retreated, Li Er stood up directly from the dragon chair, and said to the civil and military officials below: "Within a stick of incense! You have to figure out how to deal with Bai Jingyi's departure. It's a matter of going!"

"If you don't, you will be fined for one year! The official will be demoted!"

"Sigh~~~"

Now, these people present couldn't help but gasped.

It's nothing more than punishing the salary, but even lowering the official position.

In this officialdom, a small step forward depends on how big a relationship is, not only to be grateful for the kindness of the superior, but also to see whether one's luck is enough.
With such a punishment method, even the ministers of the state rushed to their faces, and the lower-ranking officials in the rear almost fainted
Yu Chigong immediately stood up and said, "I would like to report to the Holy Majesty! I think it is reasonable to send a new official uniform to Bai Jingyi! And build a monument of merit for the old general Bai!"

Cheng Yaojin also stood up and said: "My Majesty! Now Bai Jingyi has left Chang'an City with two Turkic khans, and even took two princesses with him before leaving!"

"The two Turkic khans must have difficulty surviving, and the two princesses must also be difficult to return. Instead of this, it is better for the Holy Majesty to issue a decree to marry them directly!"

"In this way, even if Bai Jingyi kills two Turkic Khans, the people of the world will definitely think that it is the work of the Holy One, so that the alien race will be eliminated by such iron and blood methods!"

"First, it can win the hearts of my Tang people. Second, it can frighten the surrounding Xiaoxiao. Let them know that the only way to get angry with Tang is to die!"

Xu Maogong smiled faintly, thinking: This old man has something!
Immediately, he also stood up and bowed to Li Er and said, "My Majesty! I think Lu Guogong's strategy is feasible!"

"In this way, my Tang Dynasty can not only get a peerless general, but also win the hearts of the people, and further improve the relationship between the royal family and the Bai family!"

"Bai Jingyi is still a young man after all, and it is inevitable that he will be impulsive, not to mention that the Bai family is loyal and dedicated to serving the country and the people. I implore the Holy One to reward you with an official uniform again! Restore Bai Jingyi's official status!"

Li Er immediately hesitated after hearing this.I thought to myself: If I reward Bai Jingyi with the official uniform again, doesn't it mean that I am bowing to him! ?
Seeing that Li Er was silent, a group of generals exchanged glances with each other, then stood up together and bowed to Li Er and said in unison: "I implore you to think twice!"

However, Zhang Liang, Xue Wanche and others were naturally unwilling to give up this good opportunity. They thought to themselves: After seeing that young man abdicate, they have a chance to rise, so how could they allow a young man to become their boss.

Immediately, Zhang Liang stood up immediately, endured the pain from the wound on his face, bowed to Li Er and said, "I report to you, Your Majesty! Since Bai Jingyi tore up his official uniform and left in public, he must have ignored the royal family." inside!"

"I think this Bai Jingyi is deliberately trying to stir up tension between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, taking advantage of the chaos to lead the Beiliang army to rebel!"

Cheng Yaojin immediately shouted in a broken voice: "Xiao Liangzi, have your brains been kicked by a donkey? Bai Jingyi wants to provoke the confrontation between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, so why save the Tang Dynasty from the national disaster!?"

"Your Majesty, don't trust Zhang Liang's nonsense, he may have lost his mind!"

Although Li Er looked ugly, he waved his hands and said, "You all step back!"

Cheng Yaojin and Zhang Liang glared at each other and then returned to their positions. Although they were both from Wagang Village, everyone was seeking benefits for themselves
After several generals retreated, Li Er sighed deeply and said, "Oh~~ You still have advice, tell me all about it!"

Most of the civil servants are old men with gray hair. Although they are a bit bulky, everyone is in good spirits.

The ministers of the aristocratic family stood in their positions without saying a word, after all, in their view, there was no need to take the risk to help Bai Jingyi.

Pei Ji, on the other hand, glanced at Changsun Wuji indifferently and remained silent.

The current situation is chaotic, and they dare not speak out like those generals.You must carefully weigh the pros and cons, and even if you have something in your mind, you can't say it directly.

But Li Er looked at these civil servants who were wise and safe, and they were unwilling to speak out. Li Er directly asked by name: "What's Pei Aiqing's opinion on this matter!?"

Pei Ji seemed to have expected this a long time ago, walked out of his seat unhurriedly, bowed to Li Er and said, "Return to the words of the Holy One! I think that since Bai Jingyi has already walked away, it will be difficult to get back together." Return to the court!"

"Even if it is sent to the official uniform again, it will not help to keep his official status. What's more, if the Holy Majesty turns a blind eye to this, the court will inevitably be in chaos, and the hearts of the ministers will definitely be difficult to balance."

"If it gets out at this time, I'm afraid the students all over the world will lose confidence in the royal family, and they won't want to take it as their long-cherished wish to become an official in the court!"

Li Er's face was a little ugly, and he thought: I asked you to talk about the solution, but you answered the question, this old thing is really cunning.

Immediately, Li Er asked in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, what good strategy can Pei Aiqing have!?"
