Great Tang Southern Emperor

"￥...￥)"

""

The chaotic Turkic language, disturbing people had to shout loudly if they wanted to speak, so Li Zhen, who couldn't bear it anymore, took out the grenade decisively, pulled out the pull ring skillfully and threw it into the pit

"Boom!" The roar shook the sky, and the bustling and chaotic noise completely dissipated at this moment, and needles could be heard on the scene.

"Interpreter, tell them, whoever dares to say a word, I will throw him into the pit and bury him alive." Satisfied with the explosion effect of the grenade, Li Zhen said to the slightly stunned interpreter.

"Yes." An interpreter immediately conveyed Li Zhen's meaning, so the scene became even quieter, and the prisoners in custody didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

When Jieli came, what he saw was another scene. Dozens of large pits had been dug in the entire valley, and between the pits stood nearly ten thousand of his people. In the back, there are thousands of Tang warriors standing there. All these scenes lead Xieli's thoughts to the bad side.

"In the past." Xue Rengui yelled loudly, and pushed Jieli who was tied up in front of Li Zhen: "Your Highness, bring Jieli here."

"" Li Zhen folded her hands behind her back, looked up at Jie Li slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Jie Li, your first prisoner, why didn't you kneel down when you saw this king?"

Although very haggard, Jieli still looked at Li Zhen with contemptuous eyes: "Hmph! I am the king of the prairie, the supreme eagle. How could the eagle in the sky kneel down to the wolf cub?"

"Oh? So, are you going to bow your head to me?" Li Zhen looked at the captives intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a gloomy expression, "You must know that this king has a bad temper."

"Hmph, I only submit to the strong." Jieli finally gave in, but his mouth was still strong: "According to the rules on the grassland, I will only submit to those who defeat me, and you are not qualified to submit to me. "

Li Zhen's complexion suddenly turned cloudy, and she said with a smile: "It turns out that what you pay attention to is the rules on the grassland. This is really great. I like the rules on the grassland the most."

Turning to look at the crowd again: "Did you hear that? Jieli wants to share the rules of the grassland with me."

It just so happened that Li Jing had arrived with Li Ji and Li Daozong, so Li Zhen hurried over and said, "Chief Manager, Manager Xu (Li Ji is also known as Xu Maogong, in order to distinguish him from Li Jing, he will be called Xu Maogong from now on), Emperor Uncle, all of you Here? Did you hear it just now? Jieli wants to tell me about the rules on the grassland, and if someone pursues it in the future, you have to testify to me."

"Your Highness, what the hell are you doing?" Seeing this, Li Jing frowned and asked.

Li Daozong next to him also persuaded: "Zhen'er, I have no problem with you making Jieli, but it's best not to go too far."

"I know this, I won't take his life." Li Zhen whispered, and said quickly: "So you have to prove to me that it was Xieli who took the initiative to follow the rules on the grassland. When my father or someone pursues it, you have to testify for me."

After finishing talking, without giving the three of them time, he ran to Jieli and said, "Jieli, as a Turkic Khan, even though you were captured by our Tang Dynasty, you are still a guest. As masters, we are masters and guests. Since you want to talk about the rules of the prairie, it is natural for us not to use the rules of the Tang Dynasty against you? Right? Do you think this is the case?"

The last sentence is to ask the people around you.

"Yes, it makes sense."

"I think that's true."

"Your Highness is right, I support it."

""

Turning to Xieli again: "You heard it too, everyone has no objection, then let's follow the rules on the grassland. This is what you proposed, and you will be convinced if you think about it."

Jieli felt that something was wrong, but because of the pressure exerted by Li Zhen before, his mind was in a mess, so he could only subconsciously say: "This is natural."

"Great." Li Zhen turned her eyes to the prisoner standing by the pit, took a deep breath and said, "According to the rules on the grassland, the winner has the right to dispose of everything of the loser, but I remember that on the grassland, The victors usually kill all the men in the losing tribe who are taller than the wheel, leaving only the women and children, right?"

"Shua!" Xie Li's face turned pale in an instant, and he finally understood the intention of Li Zhen's move: "Are you planning to kill these people in front of me?"

"Then what do you think I am digging these pits for?" Li Zhen said to the big pit with Jieli on his back, "There are a dozen or so pits here, and if they are all filled, it should be enough to hold 2 people." Is it all right?"

"Impossible." Jie Li broke out in cold sweat, and roared hoarsely: "Aren't you the most benevolent and righteous in the Tang Dynasty? Aren't you the most annoying? You are also the prince of the Tang Dynasty. If you kill them, you will kill them." Aren't you afraid that your status will be lost?"

Li Zhen's eyes were empty, and he said leisurely: "If I can use my throne to exchange for a hundred years of peace in the Tang Dynasty, let alone this throne, even if it costs my life, I will accept it."

"No, Zhen'er, you are Datang. In short, absolutely not. I don't agree. Not only I don't agree, but your father and grandpa won't agree. Chief Manager, Manager Xu, please help me persuade him Ah." Li Daozong suddenly became anxious, he could hear that Li Zhen's tone did not mean to be joking, that is to say, Li Zhen was playing for real.

Li Daozong became anxious immediately, wanted to persuade carefully but seemed to think of something, he stopped immediately, and could only turn to Li Jing and Xu Maogong for help.

"Your Highness, before the Emperor left, the special servants watched His Highness closely, and will never allow you to do anything wrong. If something happens to you, how will you ask the minister to explain to the Emperor?" Without Li Daozong's request, Li Jing had already panicked. Hands and feet, but he is not good at quick wits, and he can't think of any good reason to persuade him for a while, so he can only play the emotional card.

Fortunately, Xu Maogong, a sinister man, finally came up with an excuse: "Your Highness, you want to deal with these people, I naturally have no objection, but after all, the military camp is headed by the chief officer, and you cheated without the order of the chief officer." Killing prisoners, isn't that against the rules?"

"Yes, yes, without my order, without the emperor's permission, you can't do anything to these captives." Li Jing understood in seconds, and immediately said: "Come here, send Lord Chang Shi back to the tent, without my order Order, no one is allowed to release him without permission, this is a military order, and anyone who violates it will die."

This is obviously house arrest, but including Li Daozong, Li Zhen's uncle, and Fang Yiai Li Ergou and other confidantes, no one has an objection-they are convinced of Li Zhen's ability to cause trouble, but a person who has no If you are optimistic, you will almost do the big thing of murdering the captives. If you are not optimistic, Li Zhen may directly rebel in the next moment.

Chapter 159

Chapter 85 The Turkic Metropolitan Protectorate

"Wait a minute, who said I didn't have an order?" Seeing Li Jing coming, Li Zhen didn't bother to pretend to be deep, and took out something from his sleeve: "The imperial decree has arrived, Li Jing and Li Daozong Xu Maogong accept the decree."

"The minister Li Jing (Li Ji, Li Daozong) received the decree." Seeing the imperial decree, the three of them immediately knelt down, and when others saw that the three generals had knelt down, they also knelt down quickly, only to see if the soldiers did not kneel down. Instead, he bowed and saluted-with armor on his body, he could see the saint without worshiping. This is a rule that has been handed down since the Han Dynasty.

Fang Yiai and Du He hurriedly stepped forward and spread out the imperial decree (as mentioned before, the small ones are two meters long, and the big ones are even more than five meters long. It is impossible for one person to open them. The TV shows are all lies.) , Li Zhen stood in front of the imperial decree and chanted: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said: The Turks are rampant, they invade our frontiers, and their lives are ruined. I will promote the righteous teacher to meet the Turks. Now there is Li Jing, the Duke of Wei, who is a pharmacist. One after another, one hundred victories without a single defeat, and there are three armies and soldiers who have bravely used their lives and never regretted a hundred deaths. Only then can we have today's victory. , there are few virtuous names, respecting brothers and loving brothers, virtuous and filial piety, I am very happy, specially named Yue Wangzhen, the Turkic Metropolitan Protectorate, and is in charge of all the military and government affairs of the Turkic Metropolitan Protectorate. , the British Duke Li Ji is the Deputy Chief Protector of the Protectorate, assisting the Protector in forming the Protectorate, and the day when the imperial decree to stabilize the new land comes into effect, it will take effect, hereby!"

"" Silence, incomparable silence, after Li Zhen read out the imperial decree, from the smallest soldier to the highest commanders like Li Jing and Li Ji, everyone who understands the content of the imperial decree has the same expression, that is Dumbfounded, no one at the scene spoke, everyone was dumbfounded.

After announcing the imperial edict, Li Zhen didn't care what the faces of the people were like, but just reminded herself: "Two managers, please accept the edict."

"My lord, Li Jing (Xu Maogong) leads the decree." Li Jing and Li Ji looked horrified. They didn't know what tricks the emperor was playing. He actually gave a child the right to govern a place. What's more, such an absurd decree It even won the support and approval of the three provinces, my God, are all the princes in the court crazy?

The two took the imperial decree and checked it carefully. The great seals of the two provinces under Zhongshumen are there, as well as the emperor's jade seal, which means that this decree is indeed an imperial decree, not a central decree issued by the emperor privately.

This surprised Li Jing even more, and he couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, no, it's the Imperial Guard. May I ask the Imperial Guard, when was this imperial decree issued? Why didn't the ministers get any news?"

"This decree has been issued a long time ago, and I already had it when I was still in Chang'an." Now, there is nothing to say, Li Zhen said: "As for why the two general managers didn't get the news, it was purely because the battle was unknown at that time. Naturally, it is not good for you to know.

Moreover, there are only a few people who have handled this decree. They are the father emperor, Fang Xiang and Du Xiang (Shangshu's left and right servants), Wen Xiang (Wen Yanbo, Zhongshuling, at this time Li Jing is no longer Zhongshuling Wen Yanbo took over as Zhongshu Province), Wang Xiang (Wang Gui, servant), Wei Xiang (the reason why he was told was that Li Shimin was afraid that Wei Zheng would find fault with him afterwards, so Wei Zheng was added) and Your Highness.This decree was only circulated among a few of us from the time it was written until it was issued, and the rest of us didn't know about it. Even the content of the decree was handwritten by a few lords-in-law. "

"But, what do you think about the meaning of this imperial decree?" Li Ji directly expressed his dissatisfaction with the imperial court. It's fine for you to conceal this imperial decree. As Li Zhen said, after all, there is no victory. It is not suitable to take it out.But why did you hand over such an important position as the Turkic General Protector to a child?Although the King of Yue is really smart, no matter how smart he is, he can't change the fact that he is just a child, but it's too nonsense for you to entrust a child with a heavy responsibility?

"It's inconvenient to talk about it here, I'll explain it to you when I go back." There are too many people here, and some things are difficult to explain, but in his heart, Li Zhen thought of what happened two nights before Ling Ling left for the expedition.

On the night of the third day of February, Li Shimin had just finished correcting the last memorial and was preparing for activities, having a snack and resting for a while, when Wang Tingchu came in to report: "Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Yue is asking to see you."

"Zhen'er? Let him in." Li Shimin was puzzled at first, but soon recovered his smile. After all, he is a child and he is about to leave home. It is normal to be reluctant.

"I see my father, I wish my father a long life." Li Zhen came in and saluted honestly.

Seeing Li Zhen's stern look, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing and said: "Oh, our Lord Changshi commands thousands of troops and manages all kinds of opportunities every day. Why do you have time to see me, an old man today?"

"Oh, father~" Li Zhen immediately returned to her original state, climbed into Li Shimin's arms, and said in a tiresome tone, "father is so annoying, the child came this time for a business, but you still laughed at him, and he refused. "

Fuck me, goosebumps fell all over the ground, it was so nasty, Li Zhen felt her heart was trembling slightly, but she had to act like a baby, it was extremely uncomfortable from inside to outside.

"Okay, okay, my father apologizes, and my father just doesn't say anything about you." Li Zhen was so tired that he was dying, but Li Shimin enjoyed it quite a bit, with a happy look on his face: "Look, it's better if you are like this, with the serious look just now. Royal father doesn't like it, you are not allowed to put on airs in front of royal father from now on, you know?"

"My son obeys the order~" Li Zhenzheng said, but this time it was intentional, which made Li Shimin laugh out loud.

"By the way, Zhen'er, you said you came here for a business purpose. What business business is it that deserves your coming here late at night?" After laughing, Li Shimin asked seriously.
