Qin Yu put on a calm look and nodded, "Okay, I understand, you continue."
Chen Li said, indignantly and a little aggrieved, "Your Highness, Prince Consort! We, the soldiers who are about to be dismissed, have also worked for the imperial court for many years! The imperial court selects elites, and there is no share for us brothers who have lived and died.
I admit it! There are more than 17,000 brothers in Chang Yu's army. We have to abolish more than 14,000 brothers, seven captains, and fourteen captains. We also admit it! But...but this is a good deal
Isn’t it too much to not give us the compensation?”
"If this is the case, then the guilty general also wants to be more serious. The imperial court selects elites. Is it because the remaining officers and soldiers of us are incompetent!? The imperial court wants to disband the army. Is it because we, the officers and soldiers who are to be abolished, are incompetent?!
Even if we tell the truth, we still have no backing!!! We, the children of poor people, deserve to be laid off!"
"Do you know how much more work we have to do to reach the position of captain than those who have a background and a backer!?"
As Chen Li spoke, he felt endless bitterness in his heart.
Qin Yu frowned slightly as he listened.
He believed that what Chen Li said was true.
Jianghu is not about fighting and killing; Jianghu is about human relations.
If you say you can do it, you can do it or not. If you say you can’t, you can’t do it.
This seems to have become a rule of survival.
Xiao Nan raised his sword eyebrows and said angrily: "Is there such a thing!? Then...then the selection of elites and disarmament is based on ability instead of ability!? What is based on background and backing!?"
Chen Li's chest rose and fell, "Your Highness! If the criminal tells a lie, the sky will strike like lightning!"
Xiao Nan looked at Qin Yu in confusion.
Now he finally understood what Qin Yu meant when he said, "Seeing is believing, hearing is believing."
Everything Xiao Nan heard from Chen Li was completely different from what he heard about Chen Li in the court!
Moreover, based on the information collected by Huo Wu and Liu Jinghe, as well as their brief interaction with Chen Li.
Xiao Nan really felt that Chen Li was not that kind of person.
Qin Yu frowned and said thoughtfully: "Chen Li, can I say a few words?"
Chen Li nodded hurriedly, "Prince-in-law, please tell me that the guilty general is willing to believe that you are just, and the guilty general also believes that you will seek justice for the soldiers!"
Chen Li still has great trust in Qin Yu.
Qin Yu slowly spoke, "As for what you said about the selection of elites and disarmament, what matters is not ability but background. I can tell you for sure that I believe what you say. This kind of phenomenon of favoritism and malpractice is,
And they are definitely not in the minority.”
"In response to this phenomenon, I will personally report to Your Majesty to stop all disarmament activities, and then re-establish the disarmament assessment standards. Officials will be sent directly from the imperial court to conduct assessments, giving all soldiers a fair and just opportunity. The fittest will survive, and strength will speak for itself."
"As for the selection of elites, the imperial court will conduct an assessment of the local army and the Twelve Guards every year. The outstanding local army will be transferred to the Twelve Guards, and the unqualified Twelve Guards will be transferred to the local army. No talent will be buried, and no talent will be buried.
Because these talents have no background, they will lose opportunities for promotion."
Chen Li was overjoyed when he heard this, and he bowed hurriedly and said: "The prince-in-law is considerate of the soldiers and the people, and the guilty will be convinced."
Chen Li really didn't expect that Qin Yu would believe his words so directly and give such a perfect solution.
Although there will certainly still be cases of favoritism and malpractice, it will certainly be able to achieve great fairness and justice.
Xiao Nan nodded as he listened, this is indeed a good idea.
Since Qin Yu encountered this kind of thing, he couldn't ignore it, and he also has the ability to do so now.
Immediately afterwards.
Qin Yu looked at Chen Li and continued: "Now that we have agreed on this matter, let's talk about the mutiny you led."
Hear this.
Chen Li hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Prince-in-law, the mutiny has nothing to do with others. The general is willing to bear all the responsibilities. General Wu Tian was kidnapped by the general, and Li Tai, the chief official of Changyu County, was killed by the general.
, those two villages were also plundered by Sin General, and it was Sin General’s idea to station Chang Yu’s army here!”
"As long as the consort can forgive the brothers, give them a way to live, and pay them compensation, the criminal will be willing to die!"
Chen Li said righteously and took the initiative to take all the blame.
Xiao Nan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "You are quite loyal."
Qin Yu looked at Chen Li and said calmly: "Get up and speak. In fact, the order we received from the imperial court is to encircle and suppress Chang Yu's army. You are already rebels in the imperial court."
Chen Li was shocked when he heard this, his face was full of panic, "We don't have our consort, you have to make the decision for us! Thousands of mistakes are all the fault of one person!"
Qin Yu said: "Don't get excited and be patient. We came to see you today because we think there is something hidden, there is injustice, and there are even people who are obstructing it. Otherwise, why do you think this young master and the prince would come to see you?"
Captain? Are you qualified?"
Chen Li listened and was speechless for a moment.
He, a small school captain, was nothing compared to the powerful Prince Consort and Prince Consort.
Qin Yu continued: "We investigated your and Liu Fang's villages. Your prestige in the village is extremely high. Everyone thinks that you, Chen Li, are loyal ministers and good generals. They think that you are a hero of the Wei Dynasty and cannot rebel."
Hear this.
Chen Li's eyes were moist and he cried instantly.
The words "loyal minister, good general, hero" were like a sharp awl, piercing Chen Li's chest.
Qin Yu ignored him and continued: "In all the files we have seen, you, Chen Li, have committed extremely heinous crimes. You have been labeled a traitor. You killed officials, plundered villages and towns, and wanted to defect to Liangzhou. You
What do you think this is? Are kids playing house?"
Chen Li listened and looked at Qin Yu blankly.
He didn't expect that his kind act for his brothers would actually bring the matter to the sky.
Qin Yu continued: "But I have always believed that seeing is believing and hearing is believing, so I did not completely believe what was said in the file, so I sent someone to visit your hometown. After getting to know you as a person, I think this matter
There is another secret, and some people are even obstructing it, so they came to see you, otherwise the place where we meet should be on the battlefield, where the soldiers are fighting!"
Hear this.
Chen Li felt a chill down his spine, like thorns piercing his back, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
He really didn't expect that the imperial court would actually order an encirclement and suppression of Chang Yu's army, and he almost killed everyone.
But at the same time, Chen Li was also glad that he met the Prince Consort and believed in his character so much.
