Chapter 292 Li Jing Was Sued

Qujiang's Wenhui was just a lively episode in the April breeze. Luo Yan invited Lu Deming's former friends to help with the tasting, and finally selected more than [-] people.

Calculating carefully, the monthly salaries of these twenty or so people alone would have to be distributed in the thousands.Fortunately, Luo Yan has not been extremely extravagant in the past few years, and these few thousand pens are really enough.If it were those aristocrats who put on big banquets from time to time, they would have been crying poor.

Then, Luo Yan started his peaceful life again.

But what he never expected was that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. No, he didn't cause trouble, but the trouble found him.

Before April came into being, Wen Yanbo, who was the doctor of imperial history, dropped a big bomb.

In the solemn court hall, Li Shimin looked at Li Jing with some annoyance.

Originally thought that this early court was like the previous few months, even if there was nothing good, nothing bad would happen.It was not lukewarm, the courtiers said a few trivial sentences, and then they went back to the government office to be directors.

Just when Li Shimin was about to get up and leave, Wen Yanbo came out of the shift and bowed slowly: "Your Majesty, I have a book of bullets, which I need to read by Your Majesty." As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a memorial from his sleeve , holding hands in front of him.

Li Shimin signaled the servants to come up, opened the memorial and only read halfway through it, then his face changed drastically, and he looked at Li Jing, who was standing in the first place in the group of generals, with some displeasure.Then his expression became more and more serious, so that after reading the memorial, Li Shimin's seriousness seemed to contain anger.

"Mr. Wei, why don't you explain to me the matter of the Turkic royal court?" Li Shimin seemed to be asking, but in fact he was reprimanding.

Li Jing also knew what Li Shimin was talking about after mentioning it.But at the beginning, these things could be downplayed in the report, and they originally wanted to calm things down, who would have thought that Wen Yanbo would make such a mess at this time. "What did your majesty say? The strategy and details of the Turkic royal court's response have been described in detail in the victory report. Only the part of Luo Ge's capture of Jieli was not witnessed by my ministers, so I can only use them." narrative."

"How long are you going to pretend?" Li Shimin angrily threw Wen Yanbo's bullets in front of Li Jing, angrily scolded: "Concealing false reports, falsifying. Is this what you, Li Jing, have done? Thinking of me trusting me so much, put these ten Tens of thousands of troops are all handed over to you, so can you cover up your mistakes if you capture Jieli?"

Seeing Li Jing struggling to pick up the bullets on the ground, Li Shimin continued: "Look for yourself, and show me with your eyes wide open. This is a good thing you did! If Wen Yushi hadn't mentioned it, you would have How long are you going to hide from me?"

A bullet is nothing more than a few pages.But holding it in Li Jing's hand at the moment, it weighs as much as a thousand catties.It seemed that what was held in this hand was not a few thin sheets of paper, but his own life.

However, if the things mentioned above are true, I'm afraid it really is his life.

Li Jing slowly flipped through the magazines and read them word by word, but a turbulent sea arose in his heart.These two things were done in an extremely secretive manner, not something that ordinary people could know, but now Wen Yanbo knew about them by birth.

Could it be that someone has trouble with him, so he and Wen Yanbo can join forces to get rid of him?

One is that he allowed his soldiers to plunder the Turkic royal court, causing a large number of rare treasures to disappear.The other thing is that General Zhang Baoxiang falsely reported his military exploits. He originally killed dozens of Turkic cavalry, but reported that he repelled more than a thousand cavalry. Li Jing, knowing the truth, concealed it for Zhang Baoxiang.

No matter which one it is, it is an extremely serious mistake in the army.Adding the two together, it is possible to lose one's life.

Li Jing immediately looked at Li Shimin.

As an old fritter, it is impossible for him not to know that Li Shimin is now extremely afraid of his prestige in the army.

According to folk rumors, half of the country in the Tang Dynasty was brought down by Li Jing.Although the words are a bit exaggerated, after all generals like Li Xiaogong, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, and Duan Zhixuan have made countless military exploits, big and small.But in general, Li Jing is a handsome talent, so he commands the army with a high prestige.

What's more, in the battle for the throne, Li Jing clearly rejected the wooing of the two parties.For an emperor like Li Shimin, whoever is in the middle of the alliance, it's all nonsense.

But Li Shimin didn't have to be so troublesome if he wanted to clean himself up.It is enough to pull yourself out of the army casually and give him a position of great honor but no real power.

Li Jing ruled out Li Shimin first in his heart.Next, I don't seem to have any special enemies in court.Could it be Tang Jian?
Tang Jian was almost framed to death by himself. If there was no resentment in his heart, it would definitely be impossible.But Li Jing also knew how capable Tang Jian was. Tang Jian couldn't understand this matter in such detail.

Not only could it not be done, even Wen Yanbo couldn't be hired.

Moreover, Tang Jian was not far from Li Jing's side. Just now, Li Jing glanced at him occasionally and found that there was nothing unusual about Tang Jian at all.They are also old foxes. Although the city mansions are quite deep, if they can still keep their faces at this time, it will definitely be impossible.

Then there is only one last person left.

Luo Yan.

Li Jing knew the people he had offended in the court and at the same time had the ability to understand the events of this expedition, Luo Yan was the only one left.

He couldn't see Luo Yan's figure and expression, but in his heart, the kid was secretly smiling at this moment.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. But there will be punishments, and I will never complain." Now that things are up to now, there is nothing else I can do except admitting my guilt obediently.

Li Jing knew in his heart that someone might intercede for him in such a matter, but the effect would definitely be disappointing.So it's better to just admit it and not bother others.According to meritorious service, it is enough to save one's own life when the time comes.At this moment, Li Jing seemed to be indifferent to everything in this court, and only wanted to deal with it quickly, and then go home to rest.

Above the court, they are also happy to step on the low and hold the high.The premise is to see that this person has completely sunk into a trough, and there is no cure.Although the courtiers didn't know what mistake Li Jing had made, they saw how desolate he was when he was kneeling in the hall at the moment.No matter what kind of mentality it is, in short, first plead with Li Shimin.

Military generals are the most important, and they respect the strong most.Li Jing's mission in the army is like a god, how can the generals stand by and watch.

For a while Cheng Zhijie and other generals came out to pay homage: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei is in the country. Even if he is guilty, it will not be so. Please appease your anger."

"Yes, Your Majesty, please appease your anger. If there is something hidden about this matter, wouldn't Duke Wei be wronged?"

"Besides, he was punished by His Majesty as soon as he made meritorious service. It is hard to guarantee that the officers and men will not misunderstand. Think twice, Your Majesty."

Feeling that he was being coerced, Li Shimin was furious immediately: "You don't know, don't lie. Li Jing's crime is no small matter. If you don't believe it, just let him tell you to wait. Since Wen Yushi said this When the bullets are presented, don’t you know that it is a serious crime to falsely accuse your colleagues.”

Li Jing nodded, and said the content on the bullet in every detail.

It's okay not to say, after finishing speaking, many civil servants who originally planned to plead for Li Jing stopped their protruding toes immediately, and then put their crooked legs back as if nothing had happened.

And the faces of those generals also lost color.

This is no joke.Could it be that Li Jing's reputation throughout his life had to be planted on such a trivial matter?It’s not guaranteed for the late festival, it’s really not guaranteed for the late festival.They didn't regret standing up for Li Jing, but they felt a little regretful.

For a while, apart from the heavy panting of a few people in the hall, there was no other sound.

Everyone in the ranks was waiting, waiting to see how Li Shimin would deal with Li Jing.This matter will definitely not pass so easily.

After about a cup of tea, the atmosphere became more and more dignified.Just when everyone thought that Li Shimin was going to open his mouth to deal with Li Jing, suddenly an unexpected person stood up and advised Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, although Duke Wei is guilty of these two incidents, they are not the main crimes. Now His Majesty is a bit harsh for this."

Li Jing trembled when he heard this familiar voice.Originally, he thought that the person who was most likely to cooperate with Wen Yanbo to attack him, now excused him.

That's right, the person who spoke was Luo Yan.

Li Shimin laughed angrily at Luo Yan's remarks, and asked, "Oh, what reason do you have, why not tell everyone."

"Among the rebellious army, Jieli fled in a hurry, but a large number of elites from the Turkic royal court also took advantage of the chaos to escape. Under the fighting, it is difficult to guarantee that some people will not take treasures. Although some people took the opportunity to rob afterward, but it is true that Wei Guogong connived. There is a problem. Before attacking the Turkic royal court, the army had already strictly ordered not to plunder privately. Doesn’t it mean that every time there is a war, the chief general will keep shouting and taking care of the local finances during the attack?”

Luo Yan's words made Li Shimin amused.Although it was a bit unreasonable, but since Li Jing had indeed stated beforehand that he was not allowed to rob property, it can indeed be said that he was negligent.

"As for the second one, Zhang Baoxiang has made outstanding military exploits during the expedition of the army, and he is indeed an outstanding general. However, false reporting of military exploits is a taboo in the army. The Duke of Wei is sympathetic to talents, so he does not hesitate to save his reputation. Although the approach is inappropriate, but there is no selfishness, I hope His Majesty will see clearly."

Li Shimin quite agrees with this sentence.Zhang Baoxiang is the captain of Eastern Shaanxi Province, he used to be Li Shimin's old subordinate, and he is very loyal to him.Li Jing wanted to preserve Zhang Baoxiang, so it was naturally impossible to win him over.

Seeing that Li Shimin's expression softened, Luo Yan said: "Even if Duke Wei is really guilty, he should first hand it over to Dali Temple for review and verification, and then His Majesty will come to question the crime. Now it's just Wen Yushi's rumors, although there are some definite evidences, Your Majesty is so furious. If things go on like this, don’t we want everyone to be in danger? Your Majesty’s fault is serious.”

At these words, the courtiers dropped their jaws in shock, and Li Shimin's eyes turned red with anger.How come in the end, it was still my own fault?
