Chapter 512 The Court

Changan was so hot at the end of April that even with fans and human air conditioners, Li Er still felt very annoyed.

What made him even more unhappy was the memorial from Li Hao. The Japanese came from thousands of miles across the sea, so why did they have ulterior motives when they arrived at him? They killed one-third of them without saying anything, and also scared the deputy envoy of the mission so much that they had nightmares for half a month.

It’s time to say nothing, but is there any demeanor of a great country?

Called Li Jing and threw Li Hao's memorial into his arms: "Look, see what your brat has done."

Li Jing was also confused. He opened the memorial and took a look. The cold sweat fell down immediately: "Your Majesty, the old minister has no choice but to teach his son, so I will write a letter to scold him."

Li Er snorted angrily: "Hmph, scold, that boy is shameless, what can I do if I scold him?"

Li Jing blinked his eyes and hesitated for a moment, "Well... what does Your Majesty mean?"

Li Er was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any good way to deal with Li Hao. So he was so angry that he said, "He is your son, what do you mean?"

Li Jing was also helpless. The emperor was far away from the mountain. What could he do to deal with that kid? He didn't care, and he couldn't reach him when he beat him.

If this was done in the past, at most, I would have to call him back to Chang'an to deal with him. But now Li Er said that this kid would not return to Beijing without any orders, and it would be impossible to call him back.

Besides, Li Jing felt that nothing wrong with what his son said. Putting aside the issue of face, it is normal to set up knowledge barriers for other countries. They can't learn whatever they want.

Thinking of it, Li Jing said, "Then...why don't you go to Dengzhou in person?"

Yes, Dengzhou, the place where the memorial was issued was Dengzhou, otherwise Li Jing would not have been scared and sweated.

After all, Li Hao was "exiled" to Bingzhou before. Although he was not allowed to leave the country without restrictions, it was still a bit outrageous to run to such a faraway place in Dengzhou.

Unexpectedly, Li Er glared at him: "What can you do when you go to Dengzhou? That kid has been slapped by you and is not afraid of you at all."

Li Jing was really speechless.

This is not OK, that is not OK, do whatever you like.

Anyway, he also realized that His Majesty the Emperor was just getting angry and didn't really want to do anything to Li Hao. Since that's the case, what else is he worried about? The waiter hasn't bought milk powder this month yet. Should I go back later?

Li Er naturally didn't think about how to really treat Li Hao. Thinking from the perspective of others, if he was still the former General Tiance, he would probably have done even better than Li Hao.

It’s a pity that he is now the emperor, so the emperor naturally has his own way of thinking about the problem. When it comes to Japanese affairs, he has to consider the idea of ​​other vassal states, so it’s hard for everyone to be a parent.

He waved his hand and told Li Jing to do whatever he should do. Anyway, he couldn't teach his son a lesson. It would be better to teach me a lesson. He always found a place to vent his anger.

Just when Li Er thought things were over like this, troubles came again on the first day of May.

Since the Tang Dynasty, every day on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, it was a dynasty, with officials attending, and foreign countries also attending the dynasty.

On this day, just as the morning court began, Goguryeo's envoy Huang Ximu plunged to the ground and cried and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty Tian Khan, please make the decision for me Goguryeo!"

What's going on?

All the civil and military officials in the court were stunned, and they all looked inexplicable.

I haven't heard of any big deal happening in Goguryeo recently. What's going on with this guy?

Li Er was also confused and frowned and asked, "Huang Qing, get up, what happened to Goguryeo? Tell me slowly. If there is any grievance, I will definitely make the decision for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Huang Jiamu stood up from the ground, half true and half falsely wiped his tears and said, "Your Majesty, Tian Khan, doesn't know anything. Just half a month ago, Li Dejian, the commander of the Ocean Navy of Your Country, led a large army to visit the Beisha City, shelled the Beisha City Wall, and killed and injured more than 400 soldiers from the Beisha City."

What's the thing? Li Dejian shelled Beisha City?

Li Erjing's chin was about to fall off. Although he was planning to attack Goguryeo during this period, Nima had to have a reason at least, what was it like to do without saying a word?

Try not to whine if you can do it?

Having said that, what's wrong with this guy Li Dejian? The Japanese have not yet been settled, so Goguryeo has been beaten up again. Do you think I've been idle these days, right?!

Li Er complained that the ministers below were all confused and looked at each other and even forgot what they said.

Fighting started? Why?!

Is that boy Li Dejian a mad dog? Whoever catches and bites him!

The only thing that was more gratifying was the Japanese envoy. He heard that Goguryeo was beaten up and his mood suddenly improved a lot. Now Li Dejian's evil thief probably has revenge. If he causes such a big trouble, he will be punished.

Huang Jiamu waited for a while, and saw that no one was taking care of his own, he hesitated for a while and continued, "Dear Your Majesty Tian Khan, the Hou of Sanyuan County of your country, used force against me, Goguryeo for no reason, and injured countless officers and soldiers. The king of our country did not retaliate against the Tang Dynasty for the sake of the two countries and one belt of water, but he hoped that His Majesty Tian Khan could punish you, Sanyuan County of your country, to bring about border provocations, otherwise the despise country would reserve the right to carry out retaliation."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Li Er, as if waiting for his decision.

Wei Zheng and others were eager to try. As long as Li Er dared to say that Li Dejian was innocent, they would come out to impeach him.

This matter has nothing to do with whether the country is strong or not, or whether Goguryeo is innocent, mainly involves the issue of principle. After all, Li Hao took action without the emperor's order, which can be regarded as rebellion in some cases.

Li Jing wanted to say something at this time, but Li Hao did this matter without reason. Even if the reason for taking action is sufficient, he would never escape the charge of not being ordered.

Li Er was actually quite uncomfortable. Li Dejian's courage is getting stronger and stronger now, and his intention to kill is getting stronger. Not only did he kill hundreds of Japanese people on the Yellow River before, but this time he killed hundreds of Goguryeo people.

Just as Li Er was about to speak, Li Chengqian, who had been like a clay Buddha, suddenly spoke with a confused face: "That..., father, son, I have, I will report it."

"What's the matter?" Li Er's tone was cold.

If something big happened, he was already a good temper to be able to control himself and not go wild.

Li Chengqian shrank his neck and scolded Li Hao over and over again in his heart. Finally, he pinched his nose and stood up and said, "Father, regarding the ocean-going navy bombardment of Beisha City, my son has a self-defense memorial from Li Dejian here."

As he said that, he held a memorial in his hand and raised it over his head, lowered his head and refused to look at the old man.

Li Er was so angry that he was so amused and laughed at by Li Chengqian's appearance. He knew without asking. Li Chengqian must have known about this before, otherwise it would be impossible for Li Hao's memorial to be prepared in advance.

As for why Li Chengqian had not submitted it before, it was probably because of the explanation that Li Hao had explained that if the incident happened, he would give the memorial. If it was nothing, then don't take it. Just pretend that nothing had happened.

These two little bastards are really in the same stinking!

However, now so many people are watching below, Li Er didn't say much, and said with a dark face: "Come on, I want to see what explanation is that evil!"

The eunuch Lin Xi did not dare to neglect it, so he ran out from behind Li Er in two steps, took Li Chengqian's holding memorial and presented it to Li Er.

In front of everyone, Li Er opened the memorial with a serious expression. After only one beginning, his eyes suddenly glared at the boss, and he was not a man of concentration. He almost blurted out a national scolding.

After a long time, General Li Er closed the memorial and stared silently at the Goguryeo envoy who was looking forward to it, saying, "Huang Qing, I just read Li Dejian's self-defense memorial. Regarding the shelling of Beisha City, it can only be said that it was an accident and was wrong."

What's the thing?!

Wrong call?!

The walls on the seaside of Beisha City have been knocked out. Do you tell me that this is a mistake?

Huang Jiamu stood there like a chicken, even reacting.

The ministers were also stunned. This reason was so powerful that they called the wrong one. In addition, hundreds of people died, and you would be fine if you called the wrong one.

"Your Majesty, hundreds of people died in Goguryeo. It seems that it is impossible to explain if it is wrong? Besides, should the Ocean Navy Wu Ling go to the expedition to give an explanation to the court?" Justice is in the hearts of the people. Some people will always feel that this reason is not enough to convince people, so they stand up and question it.

Li Er glanced at the man and didn't say much. After all, he was the emperor, so there was no need to explain to his ministers, so he looked at Li Chengqian: "Crown Prince, please explain it."

"No!" Li Chengqian had already read the memorial and had already been ready to go, and stood up and said, "As for the Ocean Navy to go on an expedition without orders, I can explain it. I believe everyone knows that the Ocean Navy is not responsible for near-shore defense. Its other function is to patrol the offshore seas. In other words, under normal circumstances, the Ocean Navy is responsible for the safety of the route from Dengzhou to overseas Luozhou and Tsushima Island, so the navy to go on an expedition is not considered a violation of orders."

"So that's it. Thank you for your understanding. I understand." The person who raised the question showed a sudden look and retreated after saluting.

What kind of fuck are you from? Some people who want to watch Li Hao jokes look at the person who is back in the court.

The Wang family’s dog!

The Wang family and Li Dejian are now able to wear a pair of pants, no wonder they come forward to help him.

Wei Zheng and others originally wanted to come out to impeach Li Hao and sent troops privately, but now after listening to Li Chengqian's explanation, they also thought of the functions of the Ocean Navy. It seemed that as he said, the responsibility of patrolling the sea was unavoidable.

Li Chengqian glanced over the people below, smiled and continued, "In addition, regarding the shelling of Beisha City, I want to say that this is really a misunderstanding. The Ocean Navy really made a mistake. If you don't believe it, you can ask this Huang envoy. Did the Ocean Navy have a soldier and a soldier climb the territory of Goguryeo? No?

With the strength of the Ocean Navy, if you really want to be in Beisha City, it would be normal to land after the shelling, right?

But they didn't.

Besides, as far as we know, the reason why the Ocean Navy fired was because they were conducting a live-fire exercise, and they also notified the guards of Beisha City before the exercise, so this mistaken attack was really not on the head of the Ocean Navy. After all, they did not do it on purpose.

Huang Jiamu was so angry that he was about to cry.

I'll go to your uncle's notice. Beisha City is not a cattle and sheep, so it can be driven away at any time. So it's a city, okay? Can we move the city away? If you move one, I'll take a look.

Those generals were not worry-free, and after hearing Li Chengqian's words, they nodded one after another.

"Yes, this guy made mistakes, and the horse made a mistake. There will inevitably be mistakes during the exercise."

"That's right, when you cut vegetables and get the hands on it, it's normal for the cannon to be hit in a wrong way, right?"

"To be honest, in fact, if anyone fails, soldiers can sprain their ankles when practicing. I think it's not a big deal to hit the cannon wrongly."

"No, why isn't it a big deal? What are the gunners doing? If they are on the battlefield, they can still be beaten in one shot. If I ask me, I must punish this matter, and I must let that boy Li Dejian capture the professional skills of the soldiers."

What this is all about? Doesn’t anyone care about the hundreds of deaths we have? Doesn’t anyone think that the executioner Li Dejian should be punished as he deserves?

Huang Jiamu felt more and more aggrieved the more he thought about it. He knelt on the ground with a squeak, crying and shouting: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty Tian Khan, the Sanyuan County Majesty Li Dejian was extremely guilty. He did it on purpose, he did it on purpose. The walls of Beisha City were all blown away. How could this be a mistake? How could this be possible!"

Li Er narrowed his eyes and threw himself at the memorial handed over by Li Chengqian again.

After a long silence, he suddenly spoke, "Gao Ranli envoy, as far as I know, it seems that Goguryeo has plundered a large number of people from our Tang Dynasty through special means in recent years. Should you give me a reasonable explanation for this? In addition, during the pre-Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo detained hundreds of thousands of people in my Tang Dynasty. I want to know when King Rongliu could release those people. After all, they are all my great men, and the fallen leaves will return to their roots."

Huang Jiamu's face turned pale, and not everyone could afford to plunder the Tang people: "This..., this..., foreign ministers really don't know about this."

"I don't know? Well, I just pretend you don't know." A hint of joke flashed in Li Er's eyes, and he paused and said, "There is another thing. It seems that your big couple Lu Quanga Suwen once said, if you want someone, let me come forward in person. What explanation do you have to explain this matter?"

What? There are such awesome people?

A group of killers in the court changed drastically when they heard this. They didn't even give Huang Jiamu the chance to deny it. They shouted sternly: "Bold Goguryeo, should you destroy it?"

"Your Majesty, Goguryeo is arrogant and despises His Majesty's power. I am willing to raise 100,000 troops to strait Goguryeo."
