Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 104
The Zuo Shenwei army gave way, and Zhang Jun passed the checkpoint. He felt that his legs were heavy and he couldn't take a step.

Finally, they walked in front of Pang Renjian, Fan Fang and others.

"Everyone, you have also seen it. Your Majesty is here. If you can lay down your weapons, Your Majesty will forgive you."

Zhang Jun could only comfort them with good words, as to whether His Majesty wanted to forgive them, he couldn't care less, Pang Renjian, Fan Fang and others had never seen such a situation before, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

Fan Fang said: "Marshal Jie, will the imperial court confiscate our weapons and then treat us badly?"

Zhang Jun shook his head: "This is an eventful time for the imperial court, how can you kill yourself a warrior?"

Pang Renjian said ruthlessly: "That's fine, otherwise we will die together."

Fan Fang looked at Pang Renjian and said: "What do you know, the imperial court has just destroyed Tuoba Sigong, and the army is in full swing. If they attack each other, there are more than 2 Jingyuan sons here, how much can they go back!"

Anyone with a better brain can do some calculations and know that the military strength of the imperial court at this time is not comparable to that of the Jingyuan army.

Leaving aside the main force led by His Majesty the Emperor himself, it was the existence of over 3 iron cavalry that defeated Tuoba Sigong, and the 2 or so Shenwei Army was not a soft persimmon. the court.

Hit, what to hit!

As long as you can fight hard, you must also improve the emperor's memory.

Zhang Jun's errands went smoothly, and the entire Jingyuan army put down their weapons and came out one by one.

Even so, he was reluctant to let go of his belongings.

After the Jingyuan army withdrew from Nancheng, Li Ye led his soldiers to patrol, and there were dead bodies everywhere, including women with disheveled clothes, who died in the street, children with their stomachs disemboweled and hanging upside down from tree branches.

The hell on earth is a dilapidated scene. Some soldiers of the Baoda Army suddenly ran into a mansion on the way, and then released their lives and cried loudly.

"The evil of military disasters, and even so!"

"It must have been the same in Chang'an in the past!"

Li Ye turned his head and asked Jingxiang, "What does Jing Sima think about dealing with the Jingyuan army!"

Jing Xiang said: "Your Majesty wants to accept and protect the big heart, so he should be severely punished. I think that the first evil should be punished, and the rest will be ignored."

Li Ye shook his head and said, "It's light, it's too light, I thought everyone would punish him."

General Youbao knelt in front of the emperor, weeping bitterly.

Li Ye said: "I will make the decision for you."

An army that kills its lord at every turn and loots the people at every turn, Li Ye knows well that the Jingyuan Army is useless.

On the same day, Li Ye ordered that all the generals and schools in the Jingyuan Army, from Yajiang, Dutou to Duizheng, be beheaded, all the generals and schools beheaded, their names and places of origin were recorded, their families were searched, and all were sold into slavery.

The rest of the soldiers, all with tattoos on their faces, were enslaved and served in the army. They went to the battle before the battle and survived three battles before they could be released to the Liang nationality.

The next day, His Majesty the Emperor set up an altar in Nancheng, and more than two thousand generals from Jingyuan were dragged to the execution ground.

Li Ye handed over the task of executing the execution to Bao Dajun, and Sun Zhongzhu, the general in charge of the execution, directly stabbed the weapon into the mouths of these people.

"cut!"

With an order, people's heads rolled.

Sun Zhongzhu knelt down and sobbed: "Grandma, baby, lady, Zhongzhu avenged you all, oh oh oh!"

The Lobby of the Mansion of the Jiedu Envoy of Fuzhou

Li Ye sat in the middle, with Sun Weihou on the left, Zhu Zhen on the right, Jing Xiang, Du Chongwei, Huo Cun, Wang Xingyu, Yang Shihou, and Wang Xingyue at the bottom.

This ranking is also like the position in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor.

Zhu Zhen looked at Jingxiang with admiration in her heart.

"When Jing Sima was in Zhu Wen's tent, he was the chief counselor. When he came to His Majesty the Emperor, he was still highly valued. Although I am sitting in the right seat, I am afraid that in the Emperor's heart, Jing Sima is more important than myself. !"

Zhu Zhen made up her mind that she must make good friends. When he was under Zhu Wen's tent, he was not so enthusiastic about Jing Xiang. It's different now!

But in the following conversation, Zhu Zhen was confused again.

Jing Xiang said: "Your Majesty, the property looted by the Jingyuan army has also been checked one by one. There are a total of more than 23 guan, more than [-] pieces of silk, and countless treasures and rare goods."

Li Ye asked: "What does Jing Sima think should be done?"

Jing Xiang said: "I think that it should be returned to Baoda's treasury to comfort the people of Nancheng."

His Majesty the Emperor neither agreed nor disagreed, but instead asked the most subordinate king to make an appointment.

"What does Governor Wang think?"

Wang Xingyue was originally here to make soy sauce, just to make up the number, so he never expected to have a chance to speak.

He hurriedly left his seat and walked slowly into the hall, even though His Majesty said that there is no need to be more polite, he still did all the etiquette.

After all, if he can delay for a little time, he just needs a little more time, and he didn't think about how to answer it.

One bye!
Two prayers!

Three thanks!

The emperor felt annoyed, so Wang Xingyue said, "Your Majesty, I think some property should be collected for military use."

Li Ye said with great interest: "What's the explanation?"

Seeing this situation, Wang Xingyue felt relieved immediately, this gamble was right, looking for a reason, he "punished" very much.

"Your Majesty, without wealth, there is no way to strengthen the army. The chaos in Jingyuan can be quelled so quickly. It is because the imperial army is brave and the soldiers use their lives. The south city is gone. Take this as a lesson. The imperial court uses this money for military affairs, so as to avoid the recurrence of this incident." , is the right way."

Li Ye laughed and said, "What Wang Inspector said is true, what do you think?"

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, His Majesty the Emperor agrees, what can they say, besides, such trivial matters have nothing to do with themselves, so naturally they have no objection.

Li Ye looked at Jing Xiang, he was still a scholarly spirit, he didn't know how expensive money was if he wasn't in charge, and the money was only known to be precious when it was in short supply.

But Wang Xingyue was very happy, the first time His Majesty called him to discuss a matter, he showed up in a big way, naturally he was very happy, but the next reward from His Majesty made him feel like a basin of cold water was pouring on his head.

"Wang Xingyue has made great achievements in governing Tongzhou, and he was ordered to lead troops and horses to hunt down thieves. I am very relieved, and I am awarded the former governor of Tongzhou Wang Xingyue as the next governor..."

According to the Tang system, Tongzhou was Zhongzhou, the governor of Zhongzhou was the fourth rank, and the governor of the five armies was the third rank. Wang Xingyue was promoted, but he was not happy at all.

How good it is to be in the same state, he is the emperor, with the power of life and death in his hands, and being the lower governor, although his rank is high, but beside the emperor, he feels wronged like a little daughter-in-law, how can he be happy.

Refuse to obey the edict?

How could it be possible, Wang Xingyue didn't dare, the more than 2000 heads in Nancheng were there, His Majesty the Emperor was very aggressive, and he was afraid that if one of them didn't follow, his head would fall to the ground.

Now this result, Wang Xingyue also expected, watching His Majesty the Emperor's actions, will definitely not let Tongzhou be separated from the imperial court.

Unable to resist, he had no choice but to obey, but Wang Xingyue still had a small lump in his heart. His brother Wang Xingyu was made a duke, but he himself didn't get a baron...

But what?

"The king fulfilled the agreement and accepted the decree to thank you!"
