Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3372 Intrigue
The eldest grandson Wuji sat under Li Ji with a gloomy face, his eyes turned around the faces of everyone in the tent, and then he turned his head and said to Li Ji: "If there is any charter of the British public, you might as well just take it out, and you should unite at this time." Unanimously, overcome difficulties together, whoever violates the law and ruins the great event of the Eastern Expedition will be punished by the law of the country!"

Everyone present nodded in agreement, but they didn't know what they thought in their hearts.

Li Ji naturally knew it well, and couldn't help but secretly sighed.

The army of the Tang Dynasty looks like a million tigers, conquering the world, but in fact, it is divided into factions and acts independently, and the internal fighting is extremely serious. Otherwise, His Majesty would not have to personally command the Eastern Expedition...

With His Majesty here before, no matter what plans these people had in mind, they had to take the overall situation into consideration.But now that His Majesty is unconscious and unable to preside over the overall situation, the suppressed selfish desires in these people's hearts will inevitably emerge, and it will be as difficult as going to heaven to suppress them.

But at this time, it is natural that he, the head of the prime minister, needs to sit in the central army to stabilize the morale of the army.

Li Jidao: "The plan of the army before was to rely on Chang Sun Chong to be able to open the Seven Star Gate to welcome the army into the city. Although we don't know what happened to Chang Sun Chong, it is impossible to enter the city from the Seven Star Gate. We can only gather a large army and forcefully attack the city. Rang City."

Xue Wanche interjected: "Elder Sun Chong had committed a serious crime of treason before, His Majesty was magnanimous and allowed him to take the crime and make meritorious deeds, but this time the army was trapped in the city and suffered countless losses. It can be seen that he must be in the same spirit as Yuan Gai Suwen. Complete surrender to Goguryeo should be announced to the world, and everyone will be punished!"

He kept in mind Cheng Yaojin's teachings, he had to admit his mistakes, but he had to leave the biggest mistake to Zhang Sun Chong, otherwise he would never be able to bear it.

For the sake of his family and life, he naturally didn't care whether he would offend Changsun Wuji to death...

Changsun Wuji's pale face turned red, and he said in displeasure, "Seven Star Gate has made a mistake, but the details inside are still unknown. General Xue is so eager to blame his mistake on others, it seems not candid enough."

Qiu Xiaozhong said from the side: "Mr. Zhao's words are justified. Although Changsun Chong was entrusted by his majesty and failed to complete the important task entrusted to him by His Majesty, is there any other reason behind it? I don't know yet, so I forcibly pushed all my mistakes to There's something unfair about him."

"Hey!"

Xue Wanche squinted at Qiu Xiaozhong, and said with a sneer: "In any case, the fact that the army fell into the city and suffered great losses was caused by Chang Sun Chong's mistakes. As for whether it was sincere or not, what has it to do with Xue? It's you Qiu Xiaozhong shook his head and licked Zhao Guogong like this, did that uncle of yours ever know?"

Qiu Xiaozhong is Qiu Xinggong's nephew, although his blood is not close, he has been taken care of by Qiu Xinggong all these years.But now that Qiu Xinggong and Changsun Wuji have turned against each other, it is a matter known by the government and the public. Qiu Xiaozhong is so inclined to Changsun Wuji, it is indeed not in the right position...

These words were extremely ugly, Qiu Xiaozhong blushed, and flew into a rage: "Fart! I just talk about things, and you want you to comment on it?"

How could Xue Wanche be afraid of him?

Immediately, he slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Mother! If you don't accept it, we will sign the life and death certificate and go out to fight outside the camp gate. Whether it is life or death, each will live in peace!"

Qiu Xiaozhong also jumped up against the table: "Go and go!"

Li Ji was the first and the second big, and his anger rose in his heart, and he scolded: "You bastard, can you treat me as dead? Come on!"

"exist!"

Two soldiers from outside the tent entered in response.

Li Ji pointed to Xue Wanche and Qiu Xiaozhong and said: "Drag these two people out, each with twenty army sticks, just to make an example to others!"

motherfucker!

He also got really angry, did he really think that he, the head of the prime minister and the deputy commander of the army, is just a dry meal?

Simply deceiving!
"Here!"

The soldiers turned around and called a group of people in, and they waited to come forward.

Xue Wanche flicked his robe and strode out of the tent: "My right leg, I can walk by myself!"

Qiu Xiaozhong turned his head and shouted to Li Ji: "This matter is Xue Wanche's unreasonable mess. Can the British Duke be regarded as the same crime? I don't accept it!"

Li Ji looked gloomy and said nothing.

A group of personal soldiers had already rushed up like wolves and tigers, pinned Qiu Xiaozhong to the ground and carried him out. Qiu Xiaozhong struggled on his own, and loudly argued: "The British government is unfair, I don't accept it!"

Li Ji said coldly: "A military order is like a mountain, it cannot be refuted, add another [-] army sticks!"

Qiu Xiaozhong saw that he tried his best to justify, but the crime was aggravated, and he knew that Li Ji was determined to punish him today, and the Thirty Army Sticks could bear it, but this face would be lost in the future, so he hurriedly begged his eldest grandson Wuji Said: "Also ask Zhao Guogong to uphold justice!"

Before Changsun Wuji could say anything, Li Ji shouted, "Qiu Xiaozhong ignored the military order and added [-] more sticks!"

Changsun Wuji's eyelids twitched suddenly, anger surged in his heart, and he finally suppressed it, his face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word.

Cheng Yaojin and the others shook their heads secretly. I don't know whether this Qiu Xiaozhong is really stupid or not. Li Ji made it clear that he wanted to establish his prestige in order to establish his No.1 status under His Majesty. No one is allowed to challenge his authority. You Instead, he went to plead with Changsun Wuji, isn't that asking for trouble?

Under such circumstances, even if you are the son of Changsun Wuji, it is useless...

On the contrary, Xue Wanche pointed out the guilt of Chang Sun Chong in public and expressed his attitude. No one who mentions this matter in the future will be able to avoid the guilt of Chang Sun Chong. This military stick was worth it.

When the soldiers dragged Qiu Xiaozhong away, Li Ji looked at his eldest grandson Wuji, and said softly: "Your Majesty is still in training, and cannot come to the army in person. I can only temporarily take the position of commander in chief. The order is like a mountain. It cannot be refuted. It is definitely not intentional." As for the target, I hope Duke Zhao will understand."

The eldest grandson Wuji squeezed out a smile, nodded his head and said, "Your Majesty, you have worried a lot. The so-called heaven and the people have no two rulers. Since His Majesty can't handle military affairs personally, it is natural for the Duke of England to do it for you. Whoever dares to disobey the Duke of England will be Disobedience to His Majesty should be beaten and punished, who dares to say no?"

Everyone in the tent dared not say a word.

These two are considered to be the two most powerful people in the Great Tang Dynasty at present, so tit for tat, who would dare to get involved?

Hearing that Changsun Wuji actually said such words as "Tianwu two days, the people have no two masters" to describe Li Ji, and even said "disobedience to the Duke of England is disobedience to His Majesty", I felt a little cold in my heart. The reputation of "Changsun Yinren" is well-deserved, as soon as he uttered it, he put Li Ji at an extremely disadvantageous position.

It’s all right if everything goes well in the Eastern Expedition. If something goes wrong, there will be rumors such as “Li Ji plotting to usurp the throne and disobedience.”

It's so sinister and cruel...

Li Ji gave Changsun Wuji a cold look, and did not tangle with him. He said to everyone present with a cold face, "You all must be aware of the current situation. If you can successfully capture Pingrang City, defeat Goguryeo, and complete the Eastern Expedition At the end, all of you are naturally heroes of the empire, and your names will go down in history. But if things go against your wishes, because the battle between each other leads to erosion of the battle situation, and you miss the best time to destroy Goguryeo. I and the lords will also become the sinners of the empire, and will be notorious for thousands of years!"

The crowd joined in.

There is no doubt about this point, everyone can see clearly that the victory of the Eastern Expedition is the greatest benefit, everyone shares it, and the rain and dew all share.In the same way, once the Eastern Expedition fails, it has to return home like the previous Sui Dynasty. Then someone must stand up and take responsibility for the failure of this war that almost exhausted the national power of the empire.

No one can bear this responsibility, so everyone must have a share...

Of course, it's clear and clear, whether they can control their own selfish desires in private, and if they really unite and devote themselves to the war regardless of gains or losses, only God knows.

However, Li Ji is already very satisfied with being able to achieve superficial consistency at least.

He said: "The previous battle plan remains unchanged. The various ministries will continue to attack Pingrang City in one go. Goguryeo must not be given a chance to breathe."

Then he said to Cheng Yaojin: "The Seven Star Gate is located in the north of Ping Rang City. The terrain outside the city is flat and easy for a large army to attack. It is still the top priority. Your department is still responsible for storming the Seven Star Gate. You must break through the city within ten days. Enter, can it be done?"

Cheng Yaojin understood it, and understood that Li Ji was giving him a chance to get rid of his crimes. As long as he captured Qixingmen, even if the previous crimes would not be completely wiped out, they would be greatly reduced.

Immediately said: "Don't worry, the British, the old man has long wanted to retire from office, so he will regard this Seven Star Gate as the last battle of his life. If this gate is not broken, the old man will not return home!"

Xue Wanche also quickly echoed: "If this door is not broken, the general will never return home!"
