Chapter 33
Chapter 33
After entering Yazhang City, Chen Qiao quickly found Niguo who had already been killed by his subordinates.

"It's really boring." Chen Qiao glanced at the few Turkic courtiers who were begging for his life holding clay's head, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"Xin Zhicheng." Chen Qiao yelled, and Xin Zhicheng, who was killing the enemy not far away, ran over immediately.

"What are your orders, sir?"

Chen Qiao pointed at the Turkic courtiers who were kneeling on the ground, and said indifferently: "Let me solve these things that kill the Lord and seek glory."

"Yes!"

After saying that, before those people could shout anything, they all died under Xin Zhicheng's knife.

Soon, the Black Dragon Army wiped out the entire Yazhang City.Standing in the main tent, Chen Qiao could even smell the faint scent of blood.

The anger that had been boiling for a long time finally calmed down in the bloody atmosphere.

After cleaning up the East Turks, Chen Qiao planned to lead his army back to Beijing. Because he was worried that the West Turks would take advantage of the fire and rob them, Chen Qiao left 1 people to garrison here.

"The general has won a complete victory this time, presumably His Majesty will reward him again."

On the way back to Beijing, Qin Qiong said this to Chen Qiao.

However, Chen Qiao was noncommittal. This time he set out on the expedition, he was not aiming for a higher level, but purely to avenge the brothers who once risked their lives together to guard the border.

The playbook about Chen Qiao's loud voice has already been sent back to the capital.

In the early morning, Li Shimin walked into the Liangyi Hall with the memorial book, and was about to announce the great victory, when he saw Changsun Wuji stepping forward and knelt down in the center of the hall.

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

"Situ said whatever he wanted, why bother?"

Li Shimin squeezed the memorial in his hand tightly. He knew that his elder grandson Wuji disliked everything about Chen Qiao, firstly because of Chen Qiao's background and promotion, and secondly because of Li Lizhi.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, in this battle against the Eastern Turks, the general of the town army, Chen Qiao, firstly did not surrender, and secondly, he did not ask for orders. I implore Your Majesty to deal with it!"

After saying that, Changsun Wuji touched his forehead to the ground, as if he would not get up if Li Shimin didn't agree.

In this room, as soon as Changsun Wuji's words fell, in the other room, several ministers who always followed Changsun Wuji's lead also knelt down in the hall.

"My minister seconded the proposal! Your Majesty, please dispose of Chen Qiao! Rectify the majesty of the king!"

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Shimin's good mood disappeared in an instant. He looked at the people kneeling behind Changsun Wuji expressionlessly. Among them, there were many people who followed him when he was still in Taiyuan Mansion. did not expect……

"According to what you said, if I don't deal with Chen Qiao this time, I will be a fool?"

Li Shimin was so angry that the playbook in his hand had already been deformed by him.

Those kneeling ministers did not speak, but lowered their bodies even lower.

Li Shimin's eyes turned around in the hall, and then fell on Wei Zheng who was thinking about something with his eyes closed.At this time, he suddenly wanted to hear Wei Zheng's opinion on Chen Qiao.

"Wei Qing, do you have something to say?"

Already expecting that Li Shimin would ask him, Wei Zheng shook his sleeves, glanced at Li Jing who was looking at him, nodded without any trace, and then walked to the center of the hall.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that General Chen's actions are certainly inappropriate, but for my Tang Dynasty, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages."

Hearing what Wei Zheng said, Li Shimin's mood improved slightly, and he sat firmly on the dragon chair, "Wei Qing continue talking."

"Yes." Wei Zheng said with a bow: "General Chen has always been a relaxed and carefree person, and as far as I know, the Turks not only entered our Longmen Pass, but also occupied our Yunzhou City, and even took all the people in the city with all the guards. Killing all the city soldiers, and hanging the heads of all the city guards on the city gate, the method is extremely cruel."

"This minister is a mere civil servant, but he also knows what a man's blood is. The enemy has gone to this point. If General Chen is still calm and self-reliant, then the minister will look down on him."

"What does Doctor Wei mean by that!"

"Eldest grandson, Situ, don't worry."

Wei Zheng glanced at Changsun Wuji who was kneeling on the ground, and said calmly: "Since Changsun Situ is unwilling to listen to General Chen's affairs, then I will talk about the pros and cons of this battle."

"Doctor Wei also said that he is only a civil servant. If he is a civil servant, how can he know about the war?" Although Changsun Wuji was still kneeling on the ground, his body had already straightened up, and he looked at Wei Zheng with a bit of threat in his eyes.

But Wei Zheng, who dared to admonish Li Shimin's mistakes, would be afraid of the threat of Changsun Wuji.

"After this battle, I believe that within five years, no small country around will dare to invade our Great Tang territory!" Wei Zheng, who was standing like a pine tree in the center of the hall, had a sonorous and powerful voice, and looked directly at Changsun Wuji with his eyes, "I I think that if someone who has made such great achievements is judged as a crime just for the sake of the eldest grandson Situ, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of all generals."

"The people at the border have been invaded by foreigners all year round. They have been terrified day and night for many years, lest the next person who will become the soul of a foreigner will become themselves. Now, General Chen has wiped out the serious trouble of the East Turks in one sentence, and returned the people to a stable life. However, the eldest grandson Situ It is because of such a trivial reason that His Majesty is being forced to dispose of General Chen with such fanfare! I really don’t know whether the property and lives of the common people are more important, or satisfying one’s own selfishness.”

"Wei Zheng! You!"

Changsun Wuji was furious and was about to refute immediately, but was still interrupted by Wei Zheng.

"As the saying goes, the general will not be accepted by the emperor's orders. If you rely on the words of the eldest grandson Situ, this battle may not be able to go on."

After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he threw his hands behind his back, and without looking at Changsun Wuji with his hands behind his back, he looked straight at Li Shimin who was sitting on the dragon chair.

"Wei Qing's words are reasonable." Li Shimin was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, "Chen Qiao killed not only the arrogance of the Eastern Turks, but also the clowns of the Western Turks, Xue Yantuo, and Huihe. "

"His Majesty!"

Changsun Wuji obviously wanted to say something, but Li Shimin interrupted him by raising his hand.

"Eldest grandson Situ has something to say to me, but I also have something to ask elder grandson Situ." Li Shimin stood up, and his eagle-like eyes fell on eldest grandson Wuji, "Whether Chen Qiao wins or loses this battle, I don't know." I just found out, how does it look like the grandson Situ knew about it earlier than I did?"

"Minister. Minister..."

Looking at the eldest grandson Wuji kneeling below who was speechless, Li Shimin waved his hand.

"Situ, get up, instead of thinking about how to trip up your colleagues all day long, why not think about how to make the people of Tang Dynasty live and work more peacefully!"

After saying these words, Li Shimin turned and left the Liangyi Hall.

"Wei Zheng!"

After Li Shimin left, Changsun Wuji stood up with the support of others. He walked in front of Wei Zheng, staring at the first admonisher of the dynasty with cold eyes.

"What else is there for the eldest grandson Situ?"

Wei Zheng, with a calm face, glanced at Changsun Wuji, and said in a flat tone: "If there is nothing wrong, I will take a step ahead."

"Wei Xuancheng! Don't think that with His Majesty making decisions for you, you can be confident!"

Hearing this, Wei Zheng stopped, and turned to look at Changsun Wuji under Li Jing's worried eyes.

"I, Wei, have never bullied others, but I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Now there is a coffin in my house. Everything Wei Zheng does is for His Majesty, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. If the eldest grandson Situ doesn't like me, You can play it to His Majesty without any threats."

After finishing speaking, Wei Zheng stepped out of Liangyi Hall without looking back.
