When Li Chengqian led his troops to attack Shiwei, it was true that many people were killed.
But at that time, Shiwei and Datang had a hostile relationship.
And what was Li Chengqian’s situation at that time?
This guy was betrayed by a hunter in Shiwei, and then he was blocked in the valley by his army.
If Li Chengqian hadn't been quick to act out of desperation and led people to escape from the valley, he might have died in it.
It was also after this incident that Li Chengqian realized that his kindness could sometimes lead to bad things.
Li Chengqian issued an order to kill anyone on sight and not to take prisoners.
Although this didn't seem wrong at the time.
But taking it out now will be the bane of affecting the territory of Shiwei, the ruler of the Tang Dynasty.
Nowadays, many people in the Shiwei area are rebelling against the Tang Dynasty under the banner of revenge for their relatives.
And this is why Dai Zhou brought this matter up to participate in Li Chengqian's performance.
But was Li Chengqian wrong?
not at all.
At least this is what people like Li Shimin and Gao Zhixing who have led troops think so.
"If not, who among the men of the Tang Dynasty will fight for the Tang Dynasty in the future?"
"If not, who among the men in this world will obey our orders?"
Gao Zhixing raised his head and said: "By doing this, Your Highness is showing everyone that anyone who dares to offend our country, the Tang Dynasty, will be killed without mercy!"
"General Gao."
"You can't say that."
"Today, the Shiwei tribe in the Northeast Province is still revolting because of what happened back then."
“Countless amounts of money, food and personnel are lost every year.”
Dai Zhou looked at Gao Zhixing and said, "If we don't give them an explanation, what will happen in the future?"
"Anyone who betrays us, the Tang Dynasty, will be killed without mercy."
Gao Zhixing turned around and met Dai Zhou's eyes, saying: "This is a question. Question?"
"We can't kill them all, right?"
"After all, they are our subjects of the Tang Dynasty now."
"Moreover, the enemy country is the enemy country, and the people are the people."
"How can a soldier kill civilians without any reason?"
"Besides, what will this allow the people to see?"
Dai Zhou sneered and said, "Did you see the ruthlessness of our Tang Dynasty and the ruthlessness of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty?"
"ruthless?"
"If it hadn't been for His Highness the King of Qin, I don't know how many more sacrifices the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty would have had to make."
"Could it be that the people of the enemy country cannot die, but our soldiers can be sacrificed at will?"
Gao Zhixing snorted coldly: "If we compare the two, wouldn't it make our country's soldiers more ruthless in their deaths and injuries?"
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Dai Zhou couldn't react.
But Li Tai took over the conversation.
"In any case, it is a fact that the emperor brother killed the people."
Li Tai raised his head slightly and said, "And the emperor himself admitted it."
"That's because he is saving face for us, Datang."
Gao Zhixing said angrily: "His Royal Highness King Wei, if you are asked to attack the Northeast Third Division, you will encounter this situation."
"Can you still be so calm and calm and tell me what you are good at killing the people of the enemy's country?"
Gao Zhixing sneered and said: "I'm afraid based on His Royal Highness King Wei's ruthless character, Shi Wei probably can't see a single household within ten miles now."
"General Gao, do you know who you are talking to?"
Dai Zhou squinted his eyes and looked at Gao Zhixing.
Gao Zhixing ignored him and continued to look at Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, I think that His Highness the King of Qin is guilty, but he also has merit."
"If it hadn't been for His Highness the King of Qin, I don't know how many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty would have been killed or injured."
"Now, some well-intentioned people in Shiwei are using this name to engage in rebellion and separatism. In fact, they are just trying to find a reason for rebellion."
"So I believe that this matter should not be mentioned again. Now we only need to deal with those rebels."
"Absurd, really absurd!"
Dai Zhou looked up and laughed loudly, saying: "General Gao, I know that you have a good relationship with His Highness the King of Qin, but you can't ignore the laws of the country just for the sake of your so-called friendship, right?"
"Disregarding the laws of the country?"
Gao Zhixing raised his eyebrows, looked at Dai Zhou and said, "Master Wei still knows the national law?"
"Of course I know the laws of the country well."
Dai Zhou glanced at Li Chengqian with a sneer.
This means that Li Chengqian does not respect the laws of the country.
But he seemed to have forgotten who he was facing.
What he was facing was not Li Chengqian who never wanted to talk or pay attention to him, but Gao Zhixing.
Gao Zhixing had many friends in the world, and he was even faster than Li Shimin when asking for news.
Now, what he was waiting for was Dai Zhou's words.
Gao Zhixingzhi said: "Since Mr. Wei knows the laws of the country, he should also know the crime of bullying the people?"
"That's natural."
Dai Zhou looked at Gao Zhixing with a puzzled expression.
Now he doesn't understand what Gao Zhixing means.
"Do you want me to tell Master Wei in detail about the fact that Mr. Wei's wife's clan brother is occupying fertile farmland and renting usury money to force people to death?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Zhou's expression suddenly changed.
Just now, because Li Chengqian confessed his crime too quickly, he was too excited and forgot about this incident.
Gao Zhixing chuckled and said: "Tell me about your master, how many people have been injured in Chang'an City over the years? How many have been killed?"
Dai Zhou was also driven into panic by Gao Zhixing, and said directly: "General Gao, please understand that we are discussing the affairs of His Highness King Qin."
"good……" >
Gao Zhixing turned back to Li Shimin and took out a letter from his arms.
"Your Majesty, Lord Wei is a veteran of the court, and I don't want to slap him in the face in front of everyone."
"I just want to ask His Highness King Qin to hand it over to His Majesty in private when I have the opportunity."
"But now it seems that His Highness King Qin may be imprisoned, and there will be no chance to deliver the letter to His Majesty in the future."
"So I have no choice but to leave it to you personally."
Gao Zhixing knelt next to Li Chengqian, with his head on the ground: "I know that I did not report it. I am indeed guilty. I am willing to accept all punishment."
"However, I hope that your majesty can personally hear the matter about Lord Dai's family members who will die for the people."
As soon as Gao Zhixing finished speaking, Li Ji, who had been silent for the whole time, walked out of the general train.
He cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the people killed by His Highness King Qin were killed during the war, and it was necessary, which is understandable."
"But Master Wei's relatives are not like that. They are oppressing the people of Tang Dynasty."
"And listening to General Gao's wishes, it also caused many civilian casualties."
"If Your Majesty wants to punish His Highness the King of Qin severely, then all of Mr. Wei's relatives may have to be beheaded."
"People in this world really feel that Your Majesty is favoring Mr. Dai..."
Looking at these people in the hall, Li Shimin wanted to laugh a little.
But he knew that now was not the time to laugh, so he still kept a straight face on purpose.
Li Shimin took a deep breath, looked at Dai Zhou pretending to be sad, and said, "Master Dai, what do you want me to say about you..."
Dai Zhou knelt on the ground with a pop, and said in his heart that it was over.
Today, my plan was in vain...
However, Dai Zhou simply broke the jar and gritted his teeth and said: "I just said that the emperor's crime is the same as that of the common people. Even if the emperor's son breaks the law, he should still be punished with the same crime."
"If Your Majesty wants to kill or behead, Your Majesty is free to decide..."
