Datang: Angry at Li Er, he still begged me to come out of the mountain

Chapter 23 Victory in the First Battle
In the Taiji Hall of the Tang Dynasty Palace, the court meeting was in progress.

Sitting on the throne, Li Ergao looked at the "Tian She Weng" Wei Zheng with a cold expression. If he could, he really wanted to kill Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng's face was red, his neck was stiff, his eyes were scarlet, and he was staring at the big pillars of the Tai Chi Hall. As long as Li Er dared to say a word back, he would immediately prove his name with his death and remonstrate Li Er with his life.

"Your Majesty, it has been raining for half a month, and it has been raining continuously every day. This is a crime from the heavens. Please ask your majesty to send down an edict to ask for forgiveness from the heavens."

"Your Majesty, the emperors of all dynasties, in the years of natural disasters, have all issued their own edicts to appease the people of the world, stabilize the hearts of the people, and stabilize the world. Your Majesty, please do it."

"If the heavy rain continues and you don't listen, the natural disasters will become more and more serious, which will affect the harvest of the people. Food is the most important thing for the people. If the people have no food, the world will be in chaos."

God is going to rain, this is a certain number, why don't you tell God to hold back, you are here to force me to admit my mistake?What did I do?

What Li Er did was to create a rebellion against his cousin's family. If he sat on the throne, let alone he was right, even if he was wrong, Li Er would not admit it. The emperor naturally has his own pride.

Today, the five surnames and seven sects are still making up their minds. The folks are talking about what Li Shimin did to his brothers. They all say that Li Shimin got the wrong position, killed his brothers and brothers, and imprisoned the Supreme Emperor. This is God's wrath.

If you really wrote this edict of guilt, wouldn't it be that you have admitted these things?These are Li Er's sore feet, how could Li Er be willing to do it.

Regarding this matter, the court was also divided into two groups. Officials such as Yushitai, headed by Wei Zheng, all asked Li Er to issue an edict to appease the wrath of heaven.

Li Er was also very entangled in his heart. After writing the Edict of Guilt, his infamy would not be washed away, and he felt uncomfortable.

If he didn't write it, the people would do this to him, and he would not let go, and he would feel sorry for them.

Because of this, Li Er also stared at the pillar that Wei Zheng was looking at, and prayed that the farmer would not hit it, otherwise, I would be blamed for being innocent, and I would be "more guilty".

Damn, it's oppressing me, seeing that I have no food, seeing that I have no money, so come to hate me and embarrass me!
Forget it, let's go find my good son-in-law and see how we can make the national treasury richer quickly.

When I have money and food, I will see what you are arguing about!
The imperial examination system in the early Tang Dynasty was still not perfect enough, and most of the current officials are recommended or elected.

Before printing was invented, books were very precious things, and those who could read and write were all sons and daughters of wealthy families.

There are enough books in the hands of the five surnames and seven sects. It is not bad for ordinary people to be able to read a few words. This is because most of the officials in the imperial court are from rich families or families. The civil and military officials are divided into two groups. The generals often disagree. .

Needless to say, the generals were all former members of Li Er's Tiance Mansion and absolute brothers. However, as for the civil servants, Li Er really didn't have many of his own. Most of them were from the five surnames, seven sects or wealthy families.

The main daily task is to create difficult troubles for Li Er, and to provoke Li Er every now and then: Don’t think that you are powerful just because you are His Majesty, remember, you are the emperor of Li and Tang, but our five surnames and seven sects support you Yours, if we don't support you, you are not a fart.

Just when Li Er was sullen and didn't know what to say about Wei Zheng's question, Jaguar came.

The postman, covered in yellow mud, fell off his horse with a plop when he was about to exhaust all his physical strength.

"Your Majesty, Duke Wei has won the first battle!"

"Su Dingfang led [-] brave cavalry to raid Dingxiang, defeating the main force of the Turkic army."

The postman shouted loudly with a weary voice, and for a while, the entire Taiji Hall was quiet.

Victory in the first battle!

Li Er felt like he was dreaming, his eyes were wide open, he looked at Changsun Wuji, and said, "Auxiliary machine, take a quick look, first look."

Changsun Wuji quickly took the memorial and read it carefully for a while before handing it to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui next to him.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei has won the first battle! He has won the first battle! He has won the first battle!" Changsun Wuji shouted excitedly.

"The Turks are indeed walking the same retreat route as we thought. Cheng Yaojin's troops have already arrived at Qikou, and all preparations have been made. They will definitely take all the Turks in one pot."

"What about the others?"

"According to Duke Wei's report, everyone has already arrived at the place they have already decided on, and they are ready."

Fang Xuanling walked around the hall excitedly, "This time we must take away all the Turks in one pot. Your Majesty, the shame of the Weishui Alliance of the Tang Dynasty can finally be avenged!"

This inspiring good news made the whole court boil all of a sudden, and they put aside the matter of committing an imperial edict.

Can it really be done in one pot, and the Turks have been wiped out?

Can Datang take revenge and wash away his shame?
In many eyes, there is still some disbelief.

Fang Xuanling, who knew the top military secrets of the Tang Dynasty and also knew the inside story, did not expect that the victory in the first battle would come so quickly. He did not expect it to be so fast.

The young man Jiang Yunqing, with his judgment of the incident and his ability to see things clearly, really makes people have to be convinced. He is still a hero, what kind of young man is he, to see things so thoroughly.

Li Shimin was also very excited. He stood up and said happily: "According to my decree, there will be a banquet in Taiji Hall. I want to congratulate you all!"

With the joy of this victory, temporarily the officials stopped staring at Li Er so much, chasing him to commit crimes.

Li Shimin is happy, happy, excited, and excited now, but Jiang Yunqing is sad now. This good son-in-law of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty is now being killed by someone.

………………

Chang'an Yamen.

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the current Chang'an order is Zhou Hao, one of the henchmen in the aristocratic families with five surnames and seven sects.

This morning, Zhou Hao received the complaint. There was a corpse at the gate of the Yamen. This was a criminal case where human life was at stake.

The one who died was a paw of the Li family in Zhaojun, the president of a chamber of commerce in Chang'an, and a well-known businessman in Chang'an City.

Li Ma's complaint is well-founded.

Lin Qingwen went to Jiangjiazhuang to discuss the purchase of grain, and was severely beaten by Jiang Yunqing. His head was bleeding and his skin was bruised. He died after returning to the Li family's other courtyard last night.

In the Tang Dynasty, although the Dali Temple was the one that tried criminal matters, only particularly large cases, or cases involving officials, were under the jurisdiction of the Dali Temple. Cases involving ordinary people and ordinary businessmen were generally under the jurisdiction of the county government. deal with.
