Chapter 342 General Zhenguo, falsely accused
Soon, the Tang army returned to the court.
The people of Chang'an City were decorated with lights and greeted each other in a crossroads.
Li Er led all the princes and ministers to greet them at the Zhuque Gate.
Seeing this, Li Jing and other soldiers immediately dismounted and bowed.
Li Jing took two steps forward, bowed and said, "I led all the generals under my command to meet Your Majesty and Your Highness the Crown Prince! I am under Your Majesty's heavenly power, and I will pacify Tuyuhun. Now the army returns to the court and report to Your Majesty, and I hope your Majesty will tell you!"
"The chief manager is exempt from gifts!" Li Er reached out to hold Li Jing with a smile on his face.
"The soldiers are exempted from gifts!" Li Er then said to the other soldiers.
Li Er's eyes fell back on Li Jing's face and smiled: "I heard the people of Chang'an City call the Grand Chief Manager the Tang Army God today, and it turns out to be true!"
"Your Majesty is too proud, I am afraid!" Li Jing said hurriedly.
Li Jing lived to this age and knew that he could not take credit for himself.
Li Er waved his hand and said, "The Grand Chief Manager does not need to be humble. The Grand Chief Manager personally led the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to fight bravely to fight against the enemy, pacify Tuyuhun, make Tuyuhun surrender to our Tang Dynasty, and make our Tang Dynasty's borders peaceful. Such achievements are beyond the reach of famous generals of ancient times, Han Xin, Bai Qi, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing!"
Li Jing said anxiously: "The reason why I can pacify Tuyuhun is due to Your Majesty's power! I have been lucky enough to make some contributions to Weibo, so how dare I compare with the famous generals of ancient times!"
Li Er smiled faintly, turned to the soldiers behind Li Jing, and said aloud: "The soldiers, you have worked hard and made great contributions, and I will definitely pay the rewards according to the merits!"
"Thank you for your holy grace!" the soldiers said in unison.
"Tuyuhun repeatedly invaded the Tang Dynasty, so that I couldn't sleep or eat. It was a blessing for you and others to pacify Tuyuhun, and it was my blessing for you! There were great troops in my Tang Dynasty, and no one dared to offend my Tang Dynasty again from now on!"
Li Er's voice was very loud, and everyone's blood was boiling.
"If anyone dares to offend my Tang Dynasty, what if you wait?" Li Er asked suddenly.
"If anyone violates the Tang Dynasty, he will be punished even if he is far away!" The person who answered the conversation was Li Zaigu.
"General Li said very well!" Li Er nodded and smiled, "Those who offend me, who will be punished even if they are far away!"
After hearing this, the soldiers raised their arms and shouted: "Those who offend me, even if they are far away, will be punished!"
"Those who offend my Tang Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away!"
Not only the soldiers, but all the princes and ministers present also raised their arms and shouted!
Ten thousand people shouted together, and the voices soared into the sky!
Two days later, Li Er summoned all the civil officials and military officials who participated in the attack on Tuyuhun at the Taiji Hall.
Reward the main generals according to their merits.
Li Jing was granted the title of Duke of Wei, was awarded the title of governor of Puzhou, had a hereditary title, and had a fief of thousands of households!
Hou Jun gathered and won the title of governor of Chenzhou and Duke of Chen!
Li Daozong was promoted to the Minister of Rites and was granted the title of Prince of Jiangxia!
Li Daliang was promoted to Wuyang County Duke and the General of the Right Guard!
Xue Wanjun was promoted to the General of Zuotun Guard and was granted the title of Duke of Lu!
Xue Wanche was promoted to General of Right Wu Guard and appointed as the governor of Puzhou!
He ordered Qi Zhu Heli to serve as the guard officer of Xuanwumen, to investigate the affairs of the school and camp, and to marry the daughter of the royal family, the Lord of Lintao County!
As for Li Zaigu, he was promoted to the General of the Right Guard and was given the title of General of Zhenguo, a great pillar of the country, and a fief of thousands of households!
If you have merit, you will be punished.
Gao Zeng's merits and demerits were offset, and there was no reward.
Li Daoyan, the chief marching officer of the Chishuidao, attacked Tuoba Chici, the leader of the Dangxiang tribe, causing resentment from the Qiang, defeated and convicted, and exiled to remote areas.
...
On this day, Li Zaigu was idle and taught his children to practice swords in the yard of his home.
"General, someone is coming to the palace!"
Suddenly, the housekeeper came to report.
Li Zaigu came to the living room and saw an eunuch next to the emperor drinking tea.
After the meeting ceremony, the eunuch told Li Zaigu that the emperor had urgent matters to summon him.
So Li Zaigu followed the eunuch into the imperial city and came to Liangyi Hall.
At this moment, there were Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Gao Zengsheng, Wen Yanbo, Wei Zheng, Gao Zengsheng and Tang Fengyi in Liangyi.
This Tang Fengyi was originally the chief minister of the Guangzhou Governor's Office, and he met Li Zaigu when he served as the Lingnan Presiding and Demotion Envoy.
Li Er sat on the imperial throne with a serious face.
After Li performed the rituals of the king and his subjects in ancient times, Li Er did not give him a seat.
Everyone's faces were very serious, but there was a hint of pride between Gao Zengsheng and Tang Fengyi's eyebrows.
As soon as Li Zaigu entered Liangyi Hall, he felt something was wrong.
Li Er did not say why he summoned Li Zaigu, but asked him to stand aside first.
Li Zaigu stood aside with confusion. As soon as he stood, Li Jing staggered into Liangyi Hall with a Lingshou wooden cane.
After performing the rituals of the king and the ministers, Li Er did not give Li Jing a seat.
Seeing that Li Er did not give Li Jing a seat, Li Zaigu realized that Li Er summoned him and Li Jing this time, it must be a good thing.
If Li Er would give him a seat in normal times, even if he didn't give him a seat, he would definitely give him a seat to Li Jing.
"I wonder what happened to Your Majesty summoning the old minister?" Li Jing asked when he saw that Li Er did not give him a seat.
Li Er straightened his body, looked at Li Jing, then looked at Li Zaigu, then looked back to Li Jing's face, and said slowly: "Duke of Wei, I will summon you and the General of the Right Guard today. Someone impeached me and conspired to rebel."
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Jing and Li Zaigu's faces immediately changed drastically.
Treason is a serious crime of implicating it.
"Your Majesty, someone must have falsely accused me. I am loyal to the Tang Dynasty and to Your Majesty. The heaven and earth, sun and moon can be seen!" Li Jing said hurriedly.
Li Zaigu quickly calmed down and did not make any noise.
When Li Er saw that Li Zaigu did not defend himself, he was curious: "Why didn't the General of the Right Guard defend himself verbally?"
"Your Majesty, I am forgiving you to say frankly. Of course, there is no need to defend what I have not done." Li Zaigu took two steps forward and bowed, "I believe that Your Majesty will definitely be able to find out the truth for the Duke of Wei, return the Duke of Wei, and return the innocence of me!"
When Li Er heard Li Zaigu say this, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "What the General of the Right Guard said is so true! You might as well tell you two, I don't believe that you two will rebel! However, since someone impeached you and tried to rebel, according to the law, I must verify the case!"
"Your Majesty is wise, I and the General of the Right Guard obey the court's inspection!" Li Jing bowed and said.
"Your Majesty, I have a heartless request." Li Zai's ancient road.
"Hmm? You said!" Li Er stared at Li Zaigu in question.
"I want to know who is falsely accusing Duke Wei and me?" Li Zaigu asked.
Li Jing also looked at Li Er in question.
When Li Er was thinking about whether to tell Li Zaigu, Gao Zengsheng, who was standing up beside him, said aloud: "The wise man doesn't say secret words. It is the general who impeached you and the two of you to rebel."
"The chief minister is also the one who impeached you and the two of you to rebel!" Tang Fengyi, who was beside Gao Zengsheng, also stood up and said.
When Li Zaigu saw that it was Gao Zengsheng and Tang Fengyi, he immediately understood.
I once offended Gao Zengsheng because of Gao Laochao.
Now Gao Zengsheng falsely accused himself of course to avenge him.
As for Gao Zengsheng, he also falsely accused Li Jing at the same time, it was naturally because Gao Zengsheng missed the military opportunity in the war against Tuyuhun and was blamed by Li Jing, so Gao Zengsheng was dissatisfied.
But why did Tang Fengyi also falsely accuse himself?
I have no grudges with Tang Fengyi in the past, but I have no grudges in the past!
