In desperation, he had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart, and Li Er asked: "The Koguryo branch blood you mentioned, but the family that you reported to the court last winter? I have heard about this matter.

how?General Cheng is busy fighting against Goguryeo. Could it be that he has a grudge against you, the Cui family?Go kill their whole family? "

Cui Dunli replied: "Your Majesty, based on our evidence, General Cheng disregarded the military order and acted without authorization. He went on a rampage all the way and killed everyone he saw. He didn't have any enmity with Cui, but slaughtered all the nobles in Goguryeo and Pyongyang. .

Including the Cui family that we agreed in advance, so I was wronged. "

what?

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar, massacring the city?Datang's army slaughtered the city?It is so rare, it is too tricky, and many people are indignant, especially the courtiers and Confucian scholars, who are the most shameful.

Cheng Yaojin was in a situation that was criticized by thousands of people, but he still didn't realize it, and he had a bad temper like I did nothing wrong.

Li Er understood everything after thinking about it for a while, and secretly gave Cheng Yaojin a big thumbs up, it's a beautiful job, this trick will not leave any troubles.

When the Cui family proposed to recognize their ancestors and return to the clan, and at the same time they were willing to serve as an internal response, they reported it to the emperor. Emperor Li Er didn't think it was a big deal. Isn't he just a nobleman with a different surname? The family is just a third-rate family, and it is also a good thing to be able to reduce casualties in the broken city, so they quickly agreed.

It's just that Li Er didn't know the situation on the front line, and Li Jing didn't do it against the will, but to avoid the surrender of Pyongyang, so he secretly let Cheng Zhijie get in trouble, and today's case happened.

"Pharmacist, can this happen? As the commander-in-chief of the whole army, how did you lead the troops? You made Cheng Zhijie act indiscriminately on the battlefield?" Li Erhe asked.

Before Li Jing could open his mouth, Cui Dunyi, who followed Patriarch Cui, stood up.

"Your Majesty, Cui Dunyi, the Cui family of Boling, don't blame Marshal Li for anything. I went to the camp to report to the Marshal the matter of the clansmen. Marshal Li was very happy. He promised rewards in public and ordered the whole army not to kill indiscriminately.

Unexpectedly, ten days later, Cheng Zhijie acted without authorization and started killing. When I arrived, there were already dead bodies all over the field. "

This man is also a good actor, together with Patriarch Cui, he cried and begged immediately as if he was mourning the tragic death of his clansmen.

Ever since, at this moment, everyone's eyes stopped on Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin shouted angrily: "That's right, I killed the man, what's the matter?

Even if it happens again, I still want to kill. If Jingde and Junji didn't pull me, the whole city of Pyongyang would never be able to survive. I want them to pay for the lives of my [-] brothers who died in Liaodong. "

"Knowledge to shut up, what nonsense?" Li Jing shouted softly.

Then Li Jing stood up and cupped his hands to Li Er, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there is something hidden about this matter.

The matter involved General Cheng disobeying the military order and sending troops without authorization, so I made a detailed investigation afterwards.

It is true that General Cheng sent troops without authorization, but he sent troops to Pyongyang three days in advance to avenge murders, and my messenger missed it, so he did not receive the military order not to kill indiscriminately, and he did not know that there was an internal response in the city.

He and General Yuchi acted without permission, and I have already dealt with it in the camp according to military law.

As for his murder in Pyongyang, I thought at the time that he was eager to avenge Paozek, and we and Goguryeo belonged to the enemy's country. Although it was inappropriate to destroy the city and kill people, it did not violate military law. "

What is this... for?Cui Dunyi is stupid, old man Li Jing, you are playing fairy dance with me, you didn't behave like this that day, you looked like you were going to kill Cheng Zhijie, how did you defend him today?

He didn't know that everything today was actually under the control of Li Jing and Du Ruhui. Because Cheng Yaojin sacrificed his life for meritorious service, the two had already agreed to help Cheng Yaojin take the blame.

After hearing this, Li Er suddenly realized, "Oh, so this is the situation, so I understand, Zhijie, you stupid person, is it useful to avenge Paoze and kill civilians? What a fool, even if you massacre the city, it won't help, but let the people Fear arises in my heart, and I should be punished, and I will be punished for one year of self-reflection.

As for Cui's being killed by mistake, things on the battlefield are difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. I know something about it. It's really bad luck. Who would have thought that such a situation would happen. I deeply sympathize with Cui's death.

Let’s do it this way, the military of the Tang Dynasty caused people to die in vain due to wrong actions, and the military department paid for the funeral expenses of these people, and also paid Wanguan as compensation. We can’t chill the hearts of the people. "

Li Er settled the matter with one sentence, Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin hurriedly saluted and apologized.

And the Boling Cui family is almost scolding, and sent us away with [-] guan?When we come begging?Besides, is Cui Shi short of money?

But none of them dared to say these words. Although the Tang Dynasty has become rich in the past few years, [-] is still not a small amount. The Cui family in Goguryeo was completely wiped out, and a side branch was still dead. Compensation for these is enough sincerity. No one wanted to offend the emperor because of this, so they could only accept it with a sigh.

Mrs. Cui came well prepared, but left in despair. Although Cheng Yaojin could not be punished this time, the two sides have formed a relationship since then, and the days to come will be long. The emperor can cover it up for you, can't it? Will he still protect you everywhere?This is Choi's idea.

However, after this incident, Cheng Zhijie's reputation can be said to be mixed. In the military, he has become a new famous general killing god, even surpassing Heisha god Wei Chi Gong and war god Qin Qiong. Of course, it refers to killing.

On the civil servant side, Cheng Yaojin was basically not liked at all. A general who could slaughter a city would basically not be liked by those who had studied benevolence and righteousness all his life.

Datang wiped out the north and the peninsula with lightning speed. This action completely shocked the Quartet. Among them, the most shocking one was the Western Turks. But those who made harsh words to destroy the country for revenge, now that the peninsula is over, will the next target be the Western Turks?

Another country that is walking on thin ice is the country of Wa on the side of the allies. Although it did not participate in the plan to send troops to the Tang Dynasty last spring, the country of Wa is the logistics country of the Allied forces. Now that the entire alliance has been wiped out, will the country of Wa be next?I heard that Datang's naval fleet is invincible, what should I do?The evil god of the Japanese kingdom and Su Worulu suffered from insomnia at the same time.

Chapter 789 Tubo in action

However, Siyi was too busy to worry about it. He suddenly swallowed a piece of fat and needed to digest it, because there were nearly tens of millions of people who needed to be governed at once. Not to mention anything else, even the government officials were seriously insufficient. Because there were too few scholars in Datang.

Now even if all the conditions for being an official are reduced to literacy, I am afraid that it still cannot meet the political needs of all levels. Therefore, Datang can only survive for a few years with the promotion of elite officials and the heavier burden, until the national education campaign has achieved results. Time to relieve stress.

So ever since the plan to destroy the peninsula was made, Bai Fan had the idea of ​​abandoning martial arts and following literature. The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty has begun from unification, and the next step is to educate and cultivate people.

Just as the Tang Dynasty was reaping the fruits of victory and the whole country was celebrating, Tubo, who had been silent for the past few years in the southwest, was secretly acting.

It is unbearable for anyone to have a city taken away by another country and a deadly nail embedded in it, not to mention that the new head of Tubo is Li Xinzhong, the descendant of the Li family in Longxi, Tang Dynasty, who is more talented than Songtsan Gampo Renjie, even because of the good education he received from his family since he was a child, his ability is stronger than Songtsan Gampo.

Because Songtsan Gampo still needed Lu Dongzan's assistance to succeed, Li Xinzhong monopolized the power alone and provoked the great cause of Tubo.

At this time, Li Xinzhong was carefully observing several prisoners in the Tubo sky prison. They were a group of black, dry and skinny people with strange lights shining in their eyes, trembling all over as if they wanted to choose someone to eat.

A person dressed as a doctor next to him said: "My lord, this is already the third batch of people who have been tested. We have succeeded. All three batches of candidates are chronically poisoned. They must take medicine every day when the time comes. death, and they are already inseparable from poison."

Li Xinzhong nodded, and asked softly, "Do you think they were poisoned to death, or were their vitality exhausted by desire?"

this……

The doctor hesitated, but knowing that the ruler was cruel, he didn't dare not answer at this time, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "This medicine is fierce and has the effect of swallowing life. According to the medical book, it seems that hallucinations are just a superficial appearance."

"Oh? In other words, the poison swallowed their lives step by step.

How many days do they have left? " Li Xinzhong asked again.

"If the medicine is stopped, their bodies will definitely not be able to survive a day and night. If they continue to take the medicine, according to Chen's calculation, they will die within seven days."

Li Xinzhong didn't speak any more, but started to laugh instead, the laughter became louder and louder, as if he was looking down on the world and soaring to the sky.

"In that case, let's stop it, a bunch of useless waste, don't waste treasure."

This is!

Physicians dare not disobey, Tubo is the first national law, and those who disobey the emperor's order will die.

Li Xinzhong turned around and strode out of the dungeon, stopped when he was about to go out, and asked without looking back: "Is there a cure for this poison?"

"According to the ancient records of Tianzhu, there is an ancient civilization in the far west called Egypt, and there is a kind of herbal medicine called 'God Flower'.

There is a Buddhist scripture in Tianzhu called "the grass of forgetting worries". It was used for medicinal purposes in ancient times, but it was lost because of an accident.

There are only a few words, and the words are not clear, but according to today's evidence, it should be that things must be reversed, which led to the ban.
