Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 422 Li Shen’s next move
Li Simo's words made Li Chengqian's blood surge. He turned to look at Li Simo with cold eyes, and then glanced at the generals who were following him.
"Come here, all those who disturb the people will be punished with 20 sticks and executed in public. I want them to know that military orders are as high as mountains." Li Chengqian ordered.
"Yes." Li Chengqian's six rates were directly subordinate to Li Chengqian and only obeyed the orders of Li Chengqian.
As soon as Li Chengqian gave the order, Li Chongyi immediately took the order and ordered two captains to lead people to arrest the soldiers below who were involved in disturbing the people.
In addition to the dead soldiers, there must have been about a hundred soldiers making trouble in Dongcheng. Li Chongyi arranged for 250 people to arrest them to prevent them from resisting.
"Marshal, this is simply a trivial matter, so there is no need to be punished like this." Qiu Xiaozhong said.
"Yes, Your Highness, this is the custom when entering the city. Just give him a little punishment." Ashina Sheer also agreed.
Li Chengqian looked at Qiu Xiaozhong and asked coldly;
"Do you think it's a trivial matter for them to disobey my order?" At this moment, Li Chengqian finally understood the emperor's ways that Li Shimin taught him.
Li Shimin has always told him that his character is too weak and indecisive and needs to be tempered. As an emperor, you must be kind and powerful, and you cannot just tolerate it.
Li Shen also told him to show authority first and then kindness.
"I don't dare." Looking at Li Chengqian's face, Qiu Xiaozhong knew that Li Chengqian was angry, so he strategically chose to give in.
While he was talking, the people below started to arrest people. Many people were begging for mercy. After twenty battles, they were all semi-crippled.
"Your Highness, we are not convinced." A captain was being held up by two men, struggling and shouting at the city wall.
"Bring him here." Li Chengqian ordered.
When the person arrived, Li Chengqian asked;
"You disobeyed military orders and killed people. Today is just a small punishment for you. I didn't take your lives. Why don't you accept it?" Li Chengqian said expressionlessly.
"Your Highness, we are also first-time offenders. Why can Zhao Yuan and others be punished with meritorious service while we are punished with a stick? We just plundered some property, but they also raped a young girl. Their crime should be greater than ours.
Why can't you give us a chance? "When the captain said the last words, his voice was shouted out.
After hearing this, the arrested soldiers below also shouted:
"Yes, why can't we make up for it."
"We are also first-time offenders. His Royal Highness should give us a chance."
"Yes, we are all first-time offenders."
Li Chengqian was speechless for a moment. He was afraid of injustice in everything. As long as there was injustice, there would be voices of resistance.
People themselves have a strong jealousy, and coupled with injustice, if this matter is not handled well, once word spreads among the army, let alone prestige, even the combat effectiveness will be weakened.
"You are so bold that you dare to question the marshal's order. It seems to me that you intend to disturb the morale of the army." Li Ji said at this time. If he keeps biting Zhao Yuan, there is really nothing he can do.
"The villain didn't disturb the morale of the army. He told the truth. There are so many brothers here. Even if the villain is punished today, he still refuses to accept it." The captain did not flinch. It was a matter of life and death.
If the twenty sticks are not used well, the spine will be broken, and then the person will be paralyzed, which is no different from death.
"Your Highness, why don't you give them a chance? The law will not punish everyone. It would be bad if there are so many people getting sick." Qiu Xiaozhong suggested, and he was somewhat gloating about it.
There is no way to stop this situation now, and the impact is very bad.
Li Chengqian felt regretful in his heart. Of course he knew the current situation. If he was punished, other soldiers would say he was unfair, and then all his achievements in Goguryeo for so long would be lost.
And his image and status in the army are gone, including in the future. Anyone who mentions him will say that the prince is an unfair person.
But if they are not dealt with, this kind of thing will happen frequently, and then they will face not only Goguryeo's enemy forces, but also countless local rebellions.
Veterans such as Li Ji and Zhang Liang did not speak out, but watched silently, with the old gods watching.
Li Daozong was also thinking about countermeasures. He already felt that it would be difficult to handle, but he had to come out to support Li Chengqian;
"Your Highness, why don't we all be imprisoned first and we can discuss this matter."
There is no way, we must give the prince a step up.
"That's fine. I'll order the army to rest. If this matter isn't completed, we'll stop planning the next step." Li Chengqian could only nod.
After receiving the order, Liu Lian suppressed the offending sergeant.
"Your Highness, in fact, the soldiers fought bravely and it is not an exaggeration to get some trophies. We have been fighting like this for so many years. I think it is better to forget this matter." Li Simo said,
"I also feel that something is being made out of a molehill." Ashina Sheer also echoed,
Both of them are from the Ashina tribe, one is a noble, the other is a royal and has been a khan, but they are only loyal to Li Shimin.
Li Chengqian was very angry at what they said, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Just then Li Tiejun appeared out of nowhere.
"See His Royal Highness."
Li Chengqian was also stunned when he saw Li Tiejun, but soon he realized that Li Shen had not removed all the sharp blades.
This was protecting his safety. Li Chengqian was a little moved when he thought of this.
"What's the matter?" Li Chengqian asked.
"His Royal Highness Prince Ji asked the villain to say a word when His Highness the Crown Prince is in trouble." Li Tiejun replied.
"What are you talking about?" Li Chengqian was confused. Has his younger brother expected this situation a long time ago? I also brought him a sentence, but he soon realized that he was wrong.
Because Li Tiejun didn't say it to him, but to Ashina Sheer and Li Simo.
"My prince asked me to tell the two generals whether the Ashina tribe has eaten too much in recent years. If you forget the days when you endured hunger, our prince can help the Ashina tribe remember it.
As long as His Highness King Ji says a word, all merchants in the Tang Dynasty will ban the sale of grain to the Ashina tribe.
All merchants would not go north to do business. All merchants from the Ashina tribe will not sell anything they buy to you.
Don't doubt the strength of our Prince Ji Mansion in the business world. Tubo is the best example.
Now His Highness King Ji wants to hear you say something that will satisfy King Ji. "
After Li Tiejun finished speaking, he stood there and looked at the two of them. In terms of personal combat effectiveness, it was not that Li Tiejun could beat them both.
So Li Tiejun is not afraid of them at all.
Ashina Sheer and Li Simo turned pale after hearing Li Tiejun's words. They wanted to get angry but found that it was not the right time.
They had already scolded Li Shen eleven thousand times in their hearts.
Others did not expect that King Ji, who had been gone for so long, actually had a back-up plan, and it was such a strong back-up plan.
"Come here, all those who disturb the people will be punished with 20 sticks and executed in public. I want them to know that military orders are as high as mountains." Li Chengqian ordered.
"Yes." Li Chengqian's six rates were directly subordinate to Li Chengqian and only obeyed the orders of Li Chengqian.
