Time Travel: Unrivaled in the Tang Dynasty

As soon as Ye Haoran walked out of the Ministry of War government office, he met Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde who were rushing over!

"The two Dukes, please stay in the Ministry of War! I'm going to see the Emperor!" Ye Haoran looked at the two elderly men in their sixties. They no longer had the high spirits they had in the past, and were only worried about their son!

"General Ye, I'm counting your help!" Cheng Yaojin clasped his fists and burst into tears!

Yuchi Jingde wanted to rescue his son from prison, but could he do it? He was old and frail, and no matter how great his achievements were, he could only watch his only son in prison!

Ye Haoran can only hope that Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Jingde can hold on and not let Tie Niu and the others be taken away by Jingzhao Prefecture or the Ministry of Justice!

Severe torture, life and death are not in your control, and this is how false and wrongful convictions come about!

Ye Haoran couldn't panic at this moment. Even if he did something a little bit extreme, he would be doomed! There must be countless eyes staring at him at this moment!

Ye Haoran hurried all the way to the Taiji Hall, where Li Shimin was sitting high on the dragon throne. Below him, Prime Minister Zhangsun Wuji, Minister of Justice Liu Gongdao, and Yi Pang Wenxuan of Jingzhao Prefecture were waiting for orders!

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Ye Haoran saluted with his fists!

"Qingqing Ye, you are here!" Li Shimin looked tired but still showed a smile!

"Your Majesty! I am here to confess my crime! I ordered Cheng Tieniu, Yuchi Baolin, and Luo Chen to recruit soldiers outside Chang'an! I am new to Shangdu and do not know the laws. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

If Ye Haoran took the blame, at least Tie Niu and the others' lives could be saved! As for himself, it all depended on Li Shimin's attitude!

"Hmph! Recruiting soldiers privately is a crime of treason! The entire family should be executed! Since General Ye has admitted it! Then we can save ourselves the trouble! The Ministry of Justice will issue the order to execute it!" Changsun Wuji snorted coldly!

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, General Ye was personally appointed by Your Majesty as the General of the Auxiliary State and the Prince's Tutor! Let's leave this matter to Your Majesty for the decision!" Minister of Justice Liu Gongdao suggested!

"Lord Liu! If a prince breaks the law, he will be punished just like a commoner. Your Majesty has always attached great importance to the law. Although General Ye is indeed a meritorious minister, his merits and demerits cannot be offset! This matter must be handled according to the law!" Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Pang Wenxuan spoke righteously, not intending to give Ye Haoran any chance!

Ye Haoran did not say anything, because he knew that the final result would still depend on Li Shimin's decision!

At this time, Li Shimin forced himself to cheer up, looked at Zhangsun Wuji meaningfully, and said slowly:

"When I was trapped in Liaodong, the crown prince was in charge of state affairs. I gave Ye Haoran a waist badge of the General of the Qianniu Guard to make it easier for you to act, right?" Li Shimin looked at Ye Haoran!

"Your Majesty! That's right!" Ye Haoran took off the Qianniu Guard badge and held it in his hand!

"In this case, this matter cannot be regarded as private recruitment! The General of the Guards can recruit 1,000 guards on his own. Check the number of soldiers recruited by Cheng Tieniu and his men. If the number exceeds 1,000, then convict them! Minister Liu, you will investigate this matter! There must be no mistakes!"

"I obey your order!" Liu Gongdao received the imperial edict and left in a hurry!

"Grandson, Lord Pang, if there is nothing else, please leave first! I still have something to say to Lord Ye!"

"Your Majesty..." The prefect of Jingzhao wanted to say something, but was stopped by Changsun Wuji's eyes!

"We bid you farewell!" After saying this, Changsun Wuji was the first to walk out of the hall. Pang Wenxuan hurriedly followed, and the two of them left the hall!

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty!"

"My dear minister, what crime have you committed? I was negligent. You narrowly escaped death on your trip to Pyongyang, and the Black Armor Army suffered heavy losses. I actually forgot to replenish your troops! I am old and negligent!"

Li Shimin's words were so heartfelt that Ye Haoran's eyes actually became moist!
