Chapter 420: Many high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty were killed, and they came to see the foreign princes for questioning
"Aye, I met a fat official outside the academy today. He smiled very kindly and gave me cherries to eat..."
"Outside the academy?"
Li Zhaode's expression suddenly changed. He had sent his wife and children to his parents' home, but Qiu Shenji actually went to block his son in front of the academy?
He almost gritted his teeth, but he had no choice but to say: "When did the family lack food for you? Never take anything from strangers in the future!"
The fat son felt that the official had a special affinity for him, but when he saw Aye's eyes widening, he could only answer calmly: "Yes!"
His wife, who was born in the Cui family of Qinghe, came over and asked her son to study in the inner house. She said with some worry: "Husband, I have heard for a long time that Qiu Shenji is extremely evil, but I have never thought that if you offend him, our child may be in danger!
"
Li Zhaode snorted coldly: "As I see it, the court's laws are here, and Qiu Shenji is just bluffing. Does he really dare to take action?"
The wife smiled bitterly and said: "This man doesn't seem to have any scruples. His father eats his heart and lungs alive. If he is pushed to the limit, why can't he do anything? Why should we be angry with such a vicious person?"
Li Zhaode's eyes showed anger: "Qiu Shenji will be rampant for a long time, and he will become a master of trickery and desecrate public weapons. What are you afraid of!"
The wife sighed secretly and changed the subject: "Husband, there are rumors recently that our country, the Tang Dynasty, will use troops against Silla. Is this true?"
Li Zhaode understood: "Your wife is well-informed. General Liu just returned this morning. Next, he wants to kill the traitors of Silla. Your Majesty is determined to use troops against that small country with poor people..."
The wife's eyes lit up: "Then can you go out to military affairs or let the manager do it?"
Officials of the Tang Dynasty pay attention to being both generals and prime ministers, and they are both civil and military. In theory, officials of the fifth rank and above can be sent out as generals. For example, Pei Xingjian in history was sent out as the commander-in-chief of the first army by the Minister of Civil Affairs during the Tibetan invasion.
Even though Li Zhaode was appointed Yushi Zhongcheng not long ago, the position of Yushi was originally suitable for foreign assignments, and he started from the grassroots level. This battle in Liaodong was a great opportunity to make contributions, and she also wanted to be the wife of the prime minister!
But Li Zhaode's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he said solemnly: "I'm afraid not, the investigation of the previous injury case of Danyang County Duke has not been completed yet..."
The wife was anxious: "The small country of Silla is already weaker than Goryeo, and with General Liu going out to fight, our Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty will definitely win. This is a great opportunity to achieve success. How can we delay it because of a trivial case? What about Li Shoujie and her husband?
We don't have much contact with him, and the old lady's care in the past has been satisfactory. My husband is really kind to him!"
Li Zhaode said coldly: "You didn't go to Danyang County Duke's mansion. You don't know how miserable Shoujie was when he was seriously injured and bedridden. It was clearly Qiu Shenji who ordered Dou Huaizhen, but he confused right and wrong and deliberately dragged me and others away just to prevent us from participating in Silla.
fighting!"
The wife frowned and said: "Is he really so decisive in doing things? How can the various governments in Guan let him go?"
Li Zhaode felt even more unhappy when he thought that his clan brother Li Jongxiu had excitedly replaced him and went to the Ministry of War to report and was already going through the formalities: "Not all of them, as long as they were not involved in the case, have been released. Li Yuanfang's petty plan attracted them."
They are full of ugliness, and the idiots in Guanzhong are really useless!"
My wife thought that when you got angry you would even scold yourself, so she could only persuade her in a low voice: "Husband, you and that Li Ge leader live in the same room, and they are brothers. Why did you end up making such a fuss?"
Li Zhaode jumped at the crime and said, "What do you mean? You want me to bow to Li Yuanfang? Do I have to go to the Qiu Mansion to plead guilty? Qiu Shenji, an evil person like Qiu Shenji, can do this because he has Li Yuanfang's support behind him!"
The wife thought to herself that no official in the world could be so stubborn, her eyes flickered, and she whispered: "Do you know, husband, that the British Duke intends to go to Liaodong to renew the glory of the old Duke?"
Li Zhaode was stunned when he heard this, his anger gradually dissipated, a trace of sadness emerged in his eyes, and he sat back again: "This must be Li Yuanfang's arrangement again, what a good trick!"
The wife was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "The children of Guanzhong gathered in the house because the British Duke was taken into the inner guard. As a result, you were entangled by the inner guards and did not have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Instead, the British Duke went to Liaodong to resume his old role as Duke.
The glory..."
Li Zhaode shook his head repeatedly: "Yes, even a woman like you can understand that the good-for-nothing Li Jingye can't resist the temptation. If he really goes to Liaodong, the connections in Guanzhong that the British government has worked hard for three generations will be cut off in his hands!
"
Seeing that his tone had calmed down, his wife hurriedly brought up the past: "I have been very close to Shangguan's young lady in recent days. She is the granddaughter of Shangguan's minister and Li Yuanfang's apprentice. Why not lend her hand to ease the relationship?
?”
Li Zhaode frowned and stood up resolutely: "Women are not in charge of the affairs of my house. You don't have to worry about it, let alone contact Madam Shangguan. I'm back."
Watching her husband strode away, his wife sat back down and sighed.
…
Li Zhaode left his house, mounted his horse, and after thinking for a moment, headed for the West Market.
There is another execution today.
The ones who were killed were Jin Renwen, Jin Hanlin and Jin Sanguang.
The former was the direct younger brother of Silla King Jin Famin, and the latter two were the sons of Silla's important ministers. They both entered the Tang Dynasty as protons.
In the past, when the prince supervised the country and brought hundreds of officials to Luoyang for dinner, the latter two were imprisoned for harboring thieves. At that time, Silla also invited envoys to the Tang Dynasty to plead guilty. It seemed that their attitude was humble, but there was no actual behavior at all.
The words of regret were rejected by the court.
From then on, there were obvious rifts in the relationship between the suzerains and the vassal states of Tang and Silla, and they had the right to attack.
Of course, the disaster in Guanzhong had not yet calmed down at that time, and the accusations against Silla were at best verbal. Silla violated too many positive and negative laws, and it was not painful or itchy, so it did not care at all, so the Tang Dynasty simply reprimanded the civil and military king Jin Famin.
, have been waiting until now...
Silla's protons were formally interrogated, and even Jin Famin's brother Jin Renwen was sentenced to death for collaborating with the enemy, completely making his attitude clear!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When Li Zhaode came to the West Market, he found that the place was already bustling with gongs and drums, and there were a sea of people. Many more people came to watch the execution than he expected.
After all, the high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty have been killed a lot recently, and this is the first time that they kill nobles from foreign countries, especially when there are princes from foreign countries among them.
Although ordinary people don't know what internationalization means, they still find it quite novel and come to join in the fun one after another.
Li Zhaode was thankful that he had many servants. He sat on a tall horse and squeezed his way to the front seat.
The first thing I saw was Li Yuanfang and Liu Rengui standing on the execution platform.
Li Yan looked in all directions and immediately spotted Li Zhaode who had come to watch the execution. The two looked at each other from a distance.
Li Yan naturally would not avert his gaze, and Li Zhaode also narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at him without giving in.
"You really have a temper that would rather break than bend."
Li Yan actually admires this kind of people in his heart, compared to those weaklings.
If it were still the Wu Zhou period, officials like Li Zhaode, who were not afraid of power and had great talents as prime ministers, needed to be well protected.
But now that Li Hong was in power, the restructuring involved the interests of the Guanzhong gentry, and Li Zhaode in turn became an obstacle.
Of course, Li Yan still hoped that he could retreat despite the difficulties, but judging from his deliberate demonstration, the saying that a country can change its nature but its nature is hard to change is true.
Liu Rengui, who was next to him, also noticed it and deliberately joked: "I heard that boy Chu Yu say it before, but I didn't expect that Li Geling would really recommend me and Rengui. You are also a general, so aren't you afraid that you will lose the opportunity to show off your power?"
Li Yan said humbly: "The general's sword is not old yet, and he is powerful in all barbarians. We are still too immature in comparison. I just want to witness General Xue avenge Feichuan against Tubo, and General Liu's continued glory in the Liaodong Peninsula will be wiped out."
The land of three Koreas.”
Liu Rengui laughed heartily and said, "Okay! Okay! I won't let you down!"
Li Zhaode saw this and his heart sank. He first wondered why the two people had such a good relationship. After thinking about it, he understood: "Li Jingxuan's dismissal is not unrelated to the old case discovered by Li Yuanfang. Old General Liu and Li Jingxuan are mortal enemies.
Naturally, I will make good friends with Li Yuanfang..."
At this moment, three Silla prisoners had been led to the execution platform.
The people standing in the front row strained their necks to look, but saw that there was nothing special about these people except for their small eyes, and they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Qiu Shenji was located in the crowd, hiding his merits and fame, observing everyone, and then looked at Li Zhaode, who was sitting high on his horse, and smiled warmly.
After the Dali Temple officials finished reading out the charges, Li Yan stepped forward and waved his hand: "Execution!"
When beheading the foreign nobles, the executioner exerted extra force. His broadsword roared with cold light and slashed furiously at the necks of the Silla people.
And the two swishing rays of energy that broke through the air had quietly crossed the distance of several feet and pierced the center of the eyebrows first.
Jin Hanlin and Jin Sanguang died immediately without saying a word.
[BuZhan Wuming] is not triggered.
Obviously, although these two protons are the sons of Silla ministers and are recorded in history books, they only have one name and play a minimal role. They are not considered historical figures with a certain degree of popularity, so they cannot trigger the talent.
Li Yan was not surprised at all, he aimed at Jin Renwen and flicked his finger.
Whoosh!
[Buzai Wuming (effective)]
[Jin Renwen’s highest attribute is family background, and the extraction of family background attributes failed]
Li Yan was startled, he was really surprised this time.
You must know that Jin Renwen was not the son of a concubine. The current King of Silla, Jin Famin, is the eldest son, and he ranks second. Corresponding to the Tang Dynasty, he is the current King Yong Li Xian. With such a status, he can't draw from his family background?
In this comparison, the children of the Wu family are all made cute.
When Cao Cao was told, Cao Cao arrived. Since there were very few people to be executed, the execution ended quickly. After seeing the excitement, the people watching dispersed in droves.
After Qiu Shenji and Li Zhaode left one after another, Wu Chengsi suddenly came out from the corner, with a smile on his face and greeted: "Leader Li!"
Liu Rengui originally wanted to talk to Li Yan, but when he saw these people appearing, his eyes immediately showed contempt and he disdained to be with them. He cupped his fists and said, "Leader Li, I'm taking my leave!"
Li Yan returned the courtesy: "Old General Liu, please!"
After watching Liu Rengui leave, Li Yan turned around and said calmly: "Why did Duke Zhou come to see me?"
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "I haven't thanked Li Ge for his kindness before! Now that I have been pardoned by His Majesty, the merits and demerits have been equalized. The sin of losing the fish charm last time has finally been offset. I am about to enter the palace to say hello to my aunt.
One step closer, thank you Li Ge for your leadership!"
From Eunuch Gao's daily briefing, Li Yan already knew how disappointed Empress Wu was with the Wu family's children's meritorious service at this time, so he smiled and said: "I'm also looking forward to the day when you see the Empress Dowager again. Keep up the good work, and
I will remember you when the opportunity arises."
Wu Chengsi rolled his eyes and simply borrowed the donkey from Poxia: "It has been rumored recently that Li Ge will go to Silla. I wonder if I can help in this matter?"
Li Yan raised his brows, and suddenly thought of the historical feats of the Wu family's children who fought internally and externally even more externally, and his eyes turned cold: "Do you want to go to Silla to perform meritorious service?"
Wu Chengsi glanced sideways at him and suddenly became frightened. He shrank his head and laughed dryly: "I definitely don't have that ability... I just follow along and get the credit... If it's inconvenient for Li Ge to take it...
Then forget it...hehe..."
Li Yan's eyes moved slightly and his face softened: "The words of Duke Zhou reminded me that the arrogance of the Tang army has not changed, and it may suffer against Silla. I'm afraid I really need to think of a way by then. You are the only one."
If there are not enough people, all the children of the Wu family should follow..."
