Great Tang Southern Emperor

Now because of Luo Lin's mistake, the boy army had suffered so many casualties, Li Zhen might have the heart to kill Luo Lin at this moment.

"Damn it, how did this happen?" Xue Rengui was quite anxious, not because it was the Three Hundred Boys' Army that was lost, but because of Luo Lin. That is, Luo Lin is still Xue Rengui's disciple - the kind passed on personally.

The number of young soldiers is tens of thousands, and there will naturally be some talents selected among them. These talents, Li Zhen, did not let them train alone with the ordinary young soldiers, but instead selected them to be trained by the confidant generals or those famous generals who asked Datang to personally train them. Teach, strive to teach them to become the mainstay of Datang in the future.

In fact, these people did not live up to his hopes. Among the first batch of young soldiers, there were six such people, and each of them had at least become a peerless general who could never be defeated by an army.

This Luo Lin is even the best among me. His master is Xue Rengui. He has studied with Xue Rengui for five years. During these five years, he can say that he has learned all of Xue Rengui's skills and completely inherited Xue Rengui's mantle. Apart from having no actual combat experience, in terms of ability, he is not weaker than Xue Rengui ten years ago.

After successfully graduating from Xue Rengui, Luo Lin was appointed as the commander of the Qianjia Battalion of the Second Youth Army after a series of assessments. One of the best among his peers, even compared to that fat man, he is not inferior at all.

"Your Highness..." Xue Rengui had a bit of pain on his face. Luo Lin got into such a big disaster, and he knew that if he was judged according to the military law, he would almost certainly die.

"What do you want to say?" Li Zhen's face became even more ugly, he knew what Xue Rengui wanted to do.

"Your Highness." Xue Rengui suddenly knelt down: "Xue Li has been working hard since he followed His Highness for more than ten years. He has worked hard without credit, but he has never asked His Highness for anything... Everyone makes mistakes. Luo Lin is still a Son, please give him a chance..."

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?

Get along day and night for four or five years, even if it's a puppy, it's time to show affection.

Not to mention two real people?

Xue Rengui has long regarded Luo Lin as his child, and Luo Lin will definitely regard Xue Rengui as his reliance.

Now that Luo Lin is facing a desperate situation, even Xue Rengui, who never asks for help, will inevitably ask for help.

"... If I remember correctly, Luo Lin's age is about the same as mine, right?" Li Zhen said slowly after a moment of silence.

"Your Highness..." Xue Rengui couldn't help crying, he knew what Li Zhen meant - since we are both about the same age, have you ever seen me make excuses for myself after I did something wrong?

Chapter 781 Give You a Chance

Chapter 144 Give You a Chance

Age is not an excuse, the path you choose, you have to walk on your knees.

This is Li Zhen's famous saying, and it is also the life creed he believes in. He will not commit it himself, nor will he allow others to commit it.

Rewards for meritorious deeds and punishments for demerits, this is a code of conduct that Li Zhen must maintain as a superior, no one can escape this rule.

No matter how much credit you make, Li Zhen will reward you as much, but likewise, no matter how much mistake you make, you will have to accept multiple punishments. There are no special circumstances, and no one is allowed to disobey.

"However, His Highness also said that if a child makes a mistake, even God will forgive him."

"But is Luo Lin a child?" Li Zhen asked back.

"..." Xue Rengui was speechless. Of course Luo Lin is not a child. He is about the same age as Li Zhen. Li Zhen is 17 years old, has two children, and two wives who are pregnant. How can a person be considered a child?Even in later generations, people of this age can pay for their actions-even though they are legally considered adults.

"That's all..." Li Zhenchang sighed: "Since you asked, then I will give you a chance..."

Li Zhen really wanted to punish Luo Lin, but as Xue Rengui said, he has been with him for more than ten years, he has made outstanding contributions and made countless achievements, but he has never asked himself anything. How could Li Zhen refuse after finally opening his mouth today? ?Even if he really refused hard-heartedly, it would not only hit Xue Rengui hard, but also chill the rest of the people.

Xue Rengui was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Li Zhen waved her hand: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, this opportunity is not easy to take."

Xue Rengui said firmly: "No matter how hard it is to get it, my subordinates will definitely finish it."

"Very well, then I will wait and see..."

"Your Highness, please give me instructions."

"Before I get this opportunity, I still have two prerequisites." Li Zhen stretched out two fingers: "First of all, the commander of Luo Lin's Thousand Armor Battalion cannot be done, and I want to expel him from the Youth Army. You have no objection?"

"The subordinates have no objections." Xue Rengui understood very well that Luo Lin made such a big mistake, even if Li Zhen wanted him to continue to be the commander of the Qianjia Battalion, the five thousand youth army under his command would not be convinced, not only that, He also has to face the strange eyes of his former colleagues. At Luo Lin's age, he will collapse sooner or later after facing accusations from others for a long time.On the contrary, it is a kind of protection for him to drive him out of the youth army and keep him away from the past.

"Second, since you want to beg for his life, you have to offer something in exchange."

"Your Highness, please tell me that as long as my subordinates can get it, I will not be stingy." Xue Rengui said firmly.

"I don't want anything from you." Li Zhen shook her head: "I want the military merits you have accumulated over the years—that is to say, if you are really sure to save Luo Lin, from today onwards, all the merits you have made before will be cleared." , if you want to continue to be promoted, you can only make meritorious service again."

Li Zhen's request can be said to be harsh. Xue Rengui has made a lot of contributions over the years. There are quite a few dukes, but there are not many who are enshrined purely for military merit, Li Jing, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, Hou Junji, etc., there are only less than ten people.

From this we can see the preciousness of military merit. If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would not agree to it anyway, but the person Li Zhen was facing was Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui has never put military merits in his eyes—of course, he can't say that. It can only be said that if Xue Rengui wants to make meritorious service, it can only be said to be a piece of cake with his ability.As long as there is a war, as long as he is in command, the war will basically be won.

In history, Xue Rengui fought all his life, except for one defeat at the hands of Qin Ling (the No. If it wasn't for Guo Daifeng's disobedience to military orders, he wouldn't have much to do with Xue Rengui.

"No problem, thank you, Your Highness, for your mercy." Xue Rengui really doesn't care about military achievements, he is still young, only 29 years old, not only the peak period of life is far from coming (for soldiers, the peak period should be between 30 and 45 years old) At this age, the body has fully developed to the peak, the experience has been accumulated extremely richly, and the mind has become extremely mature after the previous 30 years of training, and only then can one become a qualified general.) Xue Rengui will be able to accumulate so much military exploits again in five years at most, and Li Zhen will almost inherit the throne by then, and he just happens to be named Duke.

"Well, let's do this for now, you go down." Li Zhen said calmly, he was not in a good mood, but usually he would not vent this kind of unhappiness on others, but today Xue Rengui disobeyed his intention , which made his mood even worse. If Xue Rengui doesn't leave, Li Zhen doesn't know if she can control the anger she wants to vent.

"But Your Highness, Luo Lin's next arrangement is..." Xue Rengui didn't leave, but Li Zhen promised to give Luo Lin a chance. Now the punishment has been issued, but Li Zhen hasn't given the chance.

"...I will arrange for him to enter Tingfeng. The commander of Tingfeng has been dismissed by me. Now that the four major deacons are vying for the position of commander, I will arrange an arbitration position for him...As for where he can climb, It's up to him." Li Zhen thought for a moment, then said calmly, Tingfeng is one of his intelligence organizations, and they appeared at the prisoner offering ceremony, but they didn't perform well that time, Li Shimin was assassinated He was seriously injured and still hasn't recovered. Li Daozong was crushed to pieces and died tragically in the Ancestral Temple. Twelve nobles were poisoned and injured. The most seriously injured one died in the early morning of the next day due to ineffective rescue...

This assassination can be said to have dealt a heavy blow to the Tang Dynasty. Although it did not hurt the Tang Dynasty, it was humiliating in front of foreign countries.

On the first day of Li Zhen’s supervision of the country, the generals responsible for guarding the safety of the sacrifices were sent to the guillotine, and the three major intelligence organizations of the imperial court, the Green Cavalry Army, Flying Tiger Army, and Taohua Neiwei, who were responsible for secret protection, were cleaned up. Li Zhen also took this opportunity to clean up those who behaved indiscreetly in the court, killed a large number of dead and vegetarian waste, and promoted many capable officials.

Chapter 782

Chapter 145 Listening to the Wind

In addition to Chaotang, Li Zhen's own four major organizations of Undercurrent, Tingfeng, Blood Dragon Guard and Skynet were also wantonly cleaned up by him. All the executors in charge of guarding work were ordered to death, and all of them were implicated in their dismissal.

According to the data given by Zheng Lang, during Li Zhen's internal and external cleansing, there were thousands of people whose heads fell to the ground, and tens of thousands of people were implicated and dismissed. It can be said that blood flowed like a river.

After killing the useless people, most of the positions were replaced by newcomers, only Tingfeng's command position, because of the special nature of Tingfeng, after the commander was killed, it was not easy for Li Zhen to place people directly. To replace them, they can only choose one of them.

However, the four deacons who are most likely to inherit the position of leadership do not agree with each other, and they can only compete with each other. It is just that the talents of the four are similar, and the credits are similar, so there has been no decision. Now because Fighting in all directions, Tingfeng's internal chaos, not to mention the detection of intelligence, even their internal operations have completely failed, and Li Zhen needs to provide resources, so they can continue proudly.

Now that Luo Lin had such a problem, Li Zhen simply found an excuse to insert him.

After all, Luo Lin is a master student who has been taught by Xue Rengui wholeheartedly. I believe that with his ability, as long as he does not make the previous mistakes, it will not be a problem to climb to the position of commander in two years at most-of course, if he still dies, then Li Zhen really couldn't find a reason to forgive him.

"Thank you, Your Highness, I am very grateful." Xue Rengui was overjoyed. Although he didn't know the existence of Tingfeng, he also knew that since Li Zhen could propose it, Tingfeng is definitely not a simple organization. Blood Dragon Guard or Skynet must be inferior. If he can become the commander of Tingfeng, then Luo Lin's status in the future may not be inferior to his own.

"Get up, this is what you exchanged for your military merits. We are trading at equal value. There is nothing to write about." Li Zhen waved his hand to make him stand up, and he probably understood Xue Rengui's thoughts.

I couldn't help giving him a thumbs-up in my heart. He really deserves to be a famous general who can leave a name in history. Xue Rengui is Xue Rengui, and he can judge Tingfeng's status only from his own character, but Xue Rengui is still wrong in his judgment.

In fact, he did not guess wrong. Tingfeng's status is indeed very special—it can only be described as special, because Tingfeng is not a pure intelligence organization, but a mercenary organization. Above Longwei and other intelligence organizations.

That's right, mercenaries.
