Chapter 739 Jinyang Storm (2)
Is Li Ji so much face? If it were ten years ago, when the Northern Expedition, not to mention just some minor problems in the generals, even if he had great face, Li Chengqian would have happily sold it.
But now is different from the past. With the experience of the Songzhou Battle, he is fully capable of leading the army independently in national-level wars. It doesn’t matter whether there is Li Ji or not. There are five-ridge and six-thin veterans in Chang'an City, so it’s not a good time for anyone to come.
The reason why I opened my arms was not because I was taboo to communicate the strength of the Han army. It caused a rebound in the army because it was too big. The northern line in the future would require a balance between military and political affairs. Li Ji was not from any of the princes at present. If he placed him on the northern line, the emperor would feel much more at ease.
Of course, no one dared to promise that something would happen. On the night he entered the Jinyang Palace, the left and right guards were already stationed on the east and west sides only about twenty miles away from the Tonghan Army, under the leadership of Qin Huaiyu and Fang Yizhi, in order to prepare for everything.
Li Ji had extraordinary military attainments and was very thoughtful. When he was so sensitive, 20,000 people were filled with people suddenly clamped him in the middle in the name of protecting the emperor and facing the north defense. If he could not realize any smell, he could not sit in this position from a bandit.
Today's posture is so low that it has something to do with these two armies. Although Li Chengqian smiled on his face when he agreed to him, he was sneering in his heart, and said to the old fox, and the concubine who was like a fairy in the harem also appeared in his mind - Zheng Liwan.
It is easy to talk about the people from the various yamen in Jinyang and Zhechong Mansion. Whether it is Ma Zhou or Dou Kuan, they are holding hands, so they don’t have to worry about it. Moreover, the two are very smart and do not ask much about the matter of the Tong Han army. Because they know that the prince, like the emperor, never tolerate anyone interfering in the affairs of the army. The ministers must grasp the standards of the matters of the army...
Although some generals and schools had some minor problems, the overall condition of the Tonghan Army was pretty good. It was a choice in terms of mental outlook, weapons, armor maintenance, and barracks preparation. The troops could be dragged out at any time, which was already very good.
Different generals and generals lead troops differently. There are some minor problems with the Tonghan Army, but they are not hindered from the overall situation. This is also considered Li Ji's ability.
After a review, Li Ji led? Li Chengqian came to an empty place in the back camp. Many generals were bare on their backs? They were being punished by sticks. The backs were already bloody and bloody. But they still gritted their teeth and knelt straight. These guys knew very well. The prince and the general had already made a mercy without cutting off their heads. If they shouted out without any prospects, they would be even more despised.
After raising his hand and shouting to stop, Li Chengqian took off his cloak and greeted the crowd who walked into the execution with his sleeve. Li Chengqian is not unfamiliar with most of the people who were punished. As early as the Northern Expedition, he fought together, and they were all pulled out by the prosecutors of the Northern Expedition army.
"Oh, Lao Pei, you are in the forefront and you are a leader. Are you promising?
"Jingshu, your father was lucky to have gone to war with Duke Tan? If he knew you were corrupt on the border, would he come to peel you off!"
"Liu Yajun? You dare to reach out to grab something with just your courage? What's wrong? I forgot about peeing my pants back then. You are forgetting your roots!"
"Xiao Han, I have said that it is not good to study literature with Mr. Song. I have to show off my ability to join the army. Now I look so ugly!"......
After saying hello to the generals, he sat on a chair above and reached out to pass the documents in Li Hui's hand. Li Chengqian began to point out the incidents of the generals' usual bribery, even the time, place, quantity, and specific requirements.
These documents were submitted by the Ministry of Integrity and the Censorate over the years. The emperor took the important matters of border affairs in the country and did not approve them. This time he gave them to Li Chengqian before leaving and gave them the power to criticize them. It can be said that the people present, whether it is national laws or military laws, have a way to die, and life and death are all in the mind of the prince.
To be honest, Li Ji, who was standing by, did not expect that the emperor would still have such a trick. Even though he was covering the military affairs very tightly, he was powerless outside the military camp. No matter what corners he came from, the emperor would always know the details of the military. Alas, God's will has been unheard of since ancient times, and Your Majesty's thoughts are beyond my opinion. It's difficult!
Li Ji was glad for his confession in the palace a few days ago. If he deliberately protected the generals, the death period was in front of him. You must know that his friend, Gaoping King Li Daoli, is also a brave general in the army and his cousin, but he was still chopped by this highness without blinking his eyelids. Now it makes people shudder!
Haha... Li Ji was naturally seen by Li Chengqian. After chuckling twice, Li Chengqian said in a deep voice: "The lonely smoke in the desert, the setting sun in the long river, how many soldiers of the Tang army were stained with yellow sand and died here. If you want to kill you, I will never wait until today. Before leaving, Your Majesty has an order. If you bow your head and confess your guilt, you will be exempted from death and corporal punishment! Although this matter is written by Ying Gong, I will only regard it as you!"
As he spoke, he threw the document into the brazier and continued, "Forget it, no one has a wife or a child, and he left his family and went to the border area, drank ice and snow, and broke his arms and limbs, all out of loyalty to Your Majesty. The prodigal son turned around and did not change gold. This matter ended here. I am guilty of your reputation. I hope you will be brave before you can make new contributions to the country under the leadership of Duke Ying." After the words, amid the generals' crying and gratitude, Li Chengqian signaled that Li Ji, who was pleased to let them heal their wounds.
Then, the two came to the commander's tent again. Li Chengqian drew a document from his sleeve and handed it to Li Ji, and stopped him from saluting, and said lightly: "Duke Ying, there is no need to saluting. This is what Your Majesty means. To help Gu complete the work here, you will be the next Duke of the Tang army. If you fail, you and Gu will hold your head together to see Your Majesty!"
The contents of the document made Li Ji both surprised and happy. Even though he had fought for half his life and had seen countless storms, this feeling of ups and downs was indeed the first time in his life. If he had just sighed at the school site that his heart was unpredictable, then he was a little shocked by the emperor and the prince's emperor's mind. The father and son had already calculated the people's hearts to the extreme.
