Originally, all the veterans felt extremely guilty after being told by Li Chengqian.
But after Li Chengqian said these words, these veterans were not happy.
As the saying goes, proper dress and proper etiquette are also important.
Asking them to take off their clothes in public is simply more humiliating than slapping them in the mouth.
Li Yu on the side also couldn't stand it anymore.
Li Yu looked at Li Chengqian with a troubled face and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid this is inappropriate..."
"There's nothing wrong with that."
"If you want your son to live, take off your clothes."
Li Chengqian's words were very firm and beyond doubt.
Old soldiers, you look at me and I look at you.
Even though he was reluctant, even though he felt insulted, it was for the lives of the children.
They started to take off their clothes anyway.
Although it is already early spring weather.
However, Qinzhou is located in the north, and it is still very cold. After several old soldiers took off their clothes, they were even shivering from the cold.
Li Chengqian looked at everyone one by one.
Li Chengqian first looked at one person and said: "Che Yun!"
"He once played for King Li Xiaoji of Yong'an and joined the team to fight against Lu Chongmao in the second year of Wude."
"Although they were ambushed by Song Jingang and suffered a defeat, many people chose to surrender."
"Only you, Che Yun, led a dozen of your brothers to fight their way out of the siege at the risk of death. You suffered six stab wounds, three arrow wounds, and almost all your blood was drained."
"After that, you came to my uncle Li's tent and became a horse leader."
"In the subsequent battle to pursue Song Jingang in Queshu Valley, you participated in eight battles in one day and suffered four stab wounds. You even almost died due to lack of physical strength."
Li Chengqian looked at another person and continued: "Chen Tian!"
"Since I joined the army, I have been with my Uncle Li."
"Fall into the camp and get to the camp first. You have been there and participated in dozens of battles, big and small."
"The most famous battle is the Battle of Hulao Pass."
"My father led the army to fight against Dou Jiande at Sishui Pass, and the rebellion You have experienced four fierce battles again."
"At the most dangerous moment, I was dragged off my horse by the enemy for more than ten meters, and my left arm was almost cut off with a knife."
After saying this, Li Chengqian raised his head and chuckled.
"I am not qualified to manage you, nor am I qualified to educate you."
"Because you are from my father's generation, and you have shed blood for our Tang Dynasty."
"But these people who are my generation, I still hope they can take the right path."
With that said, Li Chengqian turned to the younger generation and said: "Go, count the scars on your father's body, and then think about the sins you have committed, and then you can leave."
Li Chengqian turned around and left without even looking back.
Everyone in the place was stunned on the spot.
Li Yu also looked straight at Li Chengqian's leaving figure.
After a while, Li Yu came back to his senses.
He slowly turned around, looked at the young people, and shouted loudly: "Why don't you come over and see the scars on your father's body?"
How can these people make mistakes? Why can they oppress the people? How can they not be punished after making mistakes?
The proof is the scars on their father's body.
The proof is based on their father's sacrifice of life on the battlefield.
It turns out that their father had worked hard for the peace of the Tang Dynasty.
The veterans who reacted grabbed the ground with their hands, trembled, and burst into tears.
…
Chang'an City.
Inside the palace.
"oh?"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there such a thing?"
"When I first heard about it, I didn't believe it."
Eunuch Zhou said quietly: "At the beginning, those old soldiers already went there with the belief that they would die."
"After all, their
The sons are all in the hands of His Highness, and His Highness also has evidence of their crimes."
"Who knew, His Highness did not punish them, he just asked them to take off their clothes and asked their sons to personally count the scars on their father's body."
"Then these people cried like tears."
"What's more, after leaving the house, he started beating his son in the street."
Eunuch Zhou shook his head and said: "It's a wonderful sight, but also strange..."
"There's nothing strange about that."
Li Shimin said quietly: "The Tang Dynasty still remembers them, and I still remember them, and even my son still remembers them."
"But how did they do it?"
"Isn't their original intention of resisting the Sui Dynasty so that they can live a good life and not be bullied?"
"But if you think about it carefully, their children have done such unnatural things one after another. How is this different from the violent Sui Dynasty in the past?"
Li Shimin sighed softly and said, "Speaking of which, they really disappointed me."
The reason why he left behind these meritorious deeds in the first place was to set an example for the world.
The founding emperor could still create a prosperous world without killing his meritorious deeds.
In one respect, he did.
Today's Tang Dynasty has indeed become a prosperous age under his leadership.
But, on the other hand, he failed again.
The shortcomings of heroism and chaos in the country have begun to become apparent.
These big guys, relying on their former power, do evil and escape punishment.
This is obviously a great disadvantage to the imperial court in managing the world.
However, Li Chengqian's actions made him feel very pleased.
Originally, he thought that Li Chengqian would go on a killing spree when he got there.
However, in the end, this was the only result.
Li Shimin shook his head and chuckled: "My son has finally grown up and finally knows how to conquer the world with his royal way."
Kingly way?
Is this the royal way? ?
Eunuch Zhou curled his lips secretly.
However, His Royal Highness did indeed kill someone.
Then Zhai Wuzhong and his whole family were killed by Li Chengqian.
There are still people outside suing Li Chengqian today, but Li Shimin just ignored them.
But thinking about it carefully, Li Shimin did have a reason to ignore him.
You, Zhai Wuzhong, sent people to assassinate my son.
My son fought back and killed you, Zhai Wuzhong, but your special mother has the nerve to complain?
What's the point of this damn thing?
Do you think Li Shimin is easy to bully?
"Keep staring."
"If anything happens, report it to me as soon as possible."
Li Shimin paused briefly and said, "Also, I have been feeling a little uneasy these past few days, and I feel like something is about to happen."
"You can go to the Wuhan Academy later."
"Just say it was me who told me to call back all the instructors who belong to Qianzi Camp and ask them to go to Qinzhou immediately."
Those in Qinzhou are not good friends. They all went through blood and fire with Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was also really worried that these guys would do the same stupid thing as the guys in Yangzhou.
Therefore, he had to make some preparations for his son in advance.
Eunuch Zhou was obviously stunned.
But he didn't say much and just handed it over.
Although Li Shimin did not let Li Chengqian take anyone there.
But this was just to train him. If something really happened, Li Shimin would still have to take care of it.
After Eunuch Zhou left.
Li Shimin also slowly stood up.
He stepped forward and walked to the door of Ganlu Hall, looking up at the blue sky.
The chirping of birds and the warmth of spring made him feel refreshed.
Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and said: "When he comes back from Qinzhou, I will go out and play for half a year and then come back. It's not too much..."
