The people in the square looked at Li Chengqian who was impassioned and furious, unable to extricate himself for a long time.

At this moment, no matter whether it was an enemy or a friend, no matter whether it was a soldier or a general, no matter whether it was an official or a civilian, they were all shocked by Li Chengqian's words.

Is this the Tang prince?Is this the daunting magic prince that the Turks talked about?Does he really take the people of the world as his own responsibility?

Li Chengqian snatched the horizontal knife from Su Dingfang's hand, looked at Hou Junji, his eyes seemed to shoot out flames, and his voice was as cold as ice, "Hou Junji! You are guilty!"

Hou Junji looked at Li Chengqian who was holding the knife, and his heart panicked. He said with a tearing heart, "I want to meet the Holy Majesty! Even if I am guilty, I should not be tried in Gaochang City! I want to go back to Datang, I want to Back to Chang'an, I see His Majesty..."

At this moment, he was almost insane, he was afraid, he recalled Li Chengqian's actions in Chang'an City and East Turks, and he was completely afraid.

Li Chengqian walked towards him with a knife, "Hou Junji set his troops to plunder Gaochang City, indulged his subordinates to bully the Han people, murdered and set fire, raped and plundered, and committed all kinds of evil. This is against the laws of the Tang Dynasty, against the will, and even against the way of heaven. Sentence you to death! Execute immediately!"

"You can't!" Hou Junji struggled frantically, "Li Chengqian! You are not qualified to sentence me to death, you have no right to sentence me to death! I want to see His Majesty! I want to go back to Chang'an!"

But Li Chengqian ignored him and stepped forward.

puff……

With the horizontal knife back to its sheath, Hou Junji blood spattered five steps!

Chapter 151 For the country and the people, blood stained the Tang army

The sound of Hou Junji falling to the ground was like a comet hitting the earth, hitting everyone's hearts hard.

Looking at Hou Junji lying in a pool of blood, all the people in the square were dumbfounded and shocked.

They thought that Li Chengqian would definitely punish him, and would never let him go lightly.

But they never expected that Li Chengqian would execute Hou Junji on the spot.

What kind of state of mind is this, what kind of responsibility is it to take all the people of the world as its own responsibility, so that it will be so decisive to kill Datang's founding exploits here.

Who is Hou Junji? He is Li Shimin's confidant, an extremely personable minister, with power in the court and the public, and he is also the Duke of the State conferred by Li Shimin himself.

But Li Chengqian beheaded him in front of everyone in Gaochang City after seeing him only half an hour later.

At this moment, Li Chengqian said, "Do princes and generals have a kindness?"

The interpretation is incisive and vivid. He beheaded the people of Gaochang City because Hou Jun gathered his troops to plunder the people of Gaochang City, and gave the Han people an explanation.

"Too...His Royal Highness, he actually beheaded Hou Junji!"

Yuchi Gong's eyes widened, and he looked at Cheng Yaojin in disbelief, his mouth was so wide that he could stuff a bun into it.

"My God!" Cheng Yaojin shook his head in disbelief, unable to believe what happened before him, "Heitantou, I am not dreaming! Hou Junji is really dead! His Royal Highness, he ..."

Rao Qin Shubao, who has always been calm and composed, showed a shocked expression. Hou Junji's behavior is certainly bad, and he should be beheaded, but it takes a lot of courage to behead Li Shimin's confidant. talk about things.

In Li Chengqian's hand, he tightly held the horizontal knife dripping with blood. He looked at the Tang soldiers in the square, whose hands were stained with the blood of the people of Gaochang. If you don’t enforce the law impartially, you must stand firm when you are beaten, and you must accept punishment for crimes. Those who kill will be killed forever! Then I will respect you as a man!"

"White-robed army obey orders!"

"exist!"

"Send them on the road, I hope you can be good soldiers in your next life! Keep your heart!"

"kill!"

In an instant, the square was filled with a strong killing intent, and the spear in the hands of the white-robed army stabbed at the blood kneeling in the square.

Li Chengqian's heart was full of blood, and there were tears in his eyes. His heart ached, but he had to do it.

"His Royal Highness, I know I was wrong! Please let me go..."

"Li Chengqian, we are soldiers of Tang Dynasty, we are heroes of Tang Dynasty, you can't treat us like this, you can't..."

"Woooooo...I don't want to die, I want to go back to Datang...Go back to Datang..."

"I have seniors and juniors, I can't die in Gaochang, I can't..."

"Hahaha, what His Royal Highness said is good, I will still be a good man 18 years later, and I will be a good soldier by then..."

"There is no joy in life, and no fear in death! I have the lives of five people in Gaochang, and I am willing to pay for them... Your Royal Highness, I will be your soldier in the next life... You are a true hero..."

In the square, some of the Tang soldiers who were executed were greedy for life and afraid of death, as well as those who dared to act. They repented and bravely took responsibility. Their deaths will become a history of blood and tears on the road of Datang's growth!

The people of Gaochang in the city and the captured soldiers of Gaochang looked at Li Chengqian in the square, unable to calm down for a long time.

They have never seen a prince who can take the lives of the people so seriously.

"Water can carry a boat and capsize it", "take the responsibility of all the people in the world", "the emperor breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people", these words they have heard too much.

These words are nothing more than a means to deceive the people. Throughout the ages, how many people can truly plead for the people, and how many royal families regard the lives of the people so seriously.

In the eyes of those in power, the lives of the common people are as worthless as worthless.

But now, Li Chengqian went so far as to exterminate his relatives righteously, not only killed Hou Junji, but also killed all the Tang soldiers who committed crimes in Gaochang City and had the lives of Gaochang people in their hands.

There is no one before and no one after!

If it is said that Li Chengqian is not a person who truly cares about the people and takes all the people of the world as his own responsibility, they really can't think of anyone who can take up this responsibility.

Yu Chigong sighed, "Shu Bao, I don't know if it's right or wrong for His Royal Highness to do this..."

Qin Shubao turned his head to look at Yu Chigong, "Do you think what His Highness did was right or wrong!"

"That must be right!" Cheng Yaojin interrupted: "If His Highness the Crown Prince ignores this matter, then the atmosphere of the Tang army will be permeated with unhealthy tendencies in the future."

Yu Chigong replied: "I also know it's right, it's just..."

Qin Shubao said: "It's just that you can't believe it, because you never thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would be so decisive and kill..."

Yu Chigong nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, yes...that's what it means. His Royal Highness's temperament is beyond human reach. He has always adhered to the principles in his heart. No matter who crosses the line, he will never Let it go easily."

Qin Shubao continued: "When you killed the Turks, you destroyed your family. When you attacked Gaochang, you cared about the people. You never show mercy when you face the enemy. You never show mercy when you face criminals. You never put on airs when you face the people. How can there be such a heart on the line of good and evil, right and wrong, when His Royal Highness the crown prince ascends the throne, he will surely lead the Tang Dynasty to an unprecedented prosperity."

Cheng Yaojin raised his eyebrows and said, "Shubao, aren't you afraid that the walls have ears when you say this?"

"Hehe." Qin Shubao said with a smile, "I'm excited to talk, I've made a mistake, I've made a mistake..."

They understand Li Chengqian's ruthlessness, and they understand Li Chengqian's innocence. He doesn't allow anyone to bully the simple and kind people.

He can take out his heart when dealing with the people, he is always so amiable, and he always has a smile on his face when talking with the people.

But he is so jealous of evil and has no fear of power and authority. As a prince, he never disdains to win over any prince or minister, never disdains to recruit followers, and never steals the throne of the emperor.

He led the white-robed army to fight for the country, and fought to protect the people of the Tang Dynasty, but he never cared about fame and wealth, and never cared about worldly fame.

Those who dare to bully the people, no matter what princes and generals, nobles, nobles, famous families, five surnames, powerful landlords, Turkic barbarians, even these thousands of Tang troops, he would kill them as soon as they said they wanted to. Without frowning, it can be seen what status the Han people hold in Li Chengqian's heart.

On weekdays, he doesn't say anything, but secretly he cares about the people of the world, and he never asks Li Shimin for credit for anything he does, only for the benefit of all people in the world.

It is really lucky for Datang to have such a prince!

Chapter 152

Gaochang City...

central square.

The sun is shining brightly and the breeze is blowing.

A wave of blood surged up in the square, and thousands of corpses of Tang soldiers were lying here and there.

Looking at the bloody scene in the square, Zhang Xiong was in a state of turmoil. The figure of the young man under the sun was so stalwart.

The extraordinary temperament that does not go with the world has deeply impressed him.

Zhang Xiong murmured: "It's really a sage and a wise lord. It's the Tang Dynasty's luck to have such a prince, and it's the enemy's misfortune."

Qu Wentai would not have fallen to such a state if he had a thousandth of Li Chengqian's state of mind and a thousandth of his love for the people.

Li Chengqian looked at the generals and soldiers of the Tang Army who were lying in a pool of blood. Although he felt pity in his heart, he didn't have any regrets.

He walked slowly to the high platform, and said to the rest of Tang Jun: "Tang Jun soldiers present, brothers in this palace, you are real warriors and real heroes. You have kept your heart in the face of greed and desire, Keeping my steadfastness and the benevolence and righteousness of the Tang Dynasty! My palace is here, thank you everyone!"

Li Chengqian bowed deeply to the Tang soldiers.

"His Royal Highness, you are the hero of the Tang Dynasty. I can fight with you in this life, and I have no regrets in death..."

"Yes! It is a blessing for the soldiers of our armed forces and the people of the Tang Dynasty to have a prince like you in the Tang Dynasty..."

"As a Tang army, I will go up the mountain of swords and go down into the sea of ​​fire for all the people in the world, and I will not hesitate to die..."

Looking at the sincere Li Chengqian on the stage, Tang Jun in the audience responded one after another, and all of their words came from the heart.

"The prince is mighty! The prince is mighty!"

The soldiers of the three armies raised their arms and shouted, at this moment Li Chengqian's position in their hearts had been stretched to the extreme.

Li Chengqian waved his hand and continued: "Next, I have something to say to the people of Gaochang, and to the soldiers who were captured in Gaochang. My Tang Dynasty is not a country of barbarians. Qu Wentai, the leader of Gaochang, colluded with the Turks, invaded Yizhou, and attacked Yizhou. My city, this is something that the Tang Dynasty cannot tolerate."

"Our western expedition to Gaochang was also for the people of the Tang Dynasty. Qu Wentai was a mediocre man, licentious and immoral, appointed traitors, and alienated loyal people. Gaochang's demise is only a matter of time. Now that Qu Wentai is dead, Gaochang is dead in name only, but yours Life must go on, although I am not talented, I hope to give the people of Gaochang City a pure land where they can live and work in peace."

"Su Dingfang listened to the order to return all the money and food of the people in Gaochang City. Those whose family members were killed by the Tang army were compensated according to the compensation standard of the Tang army, and all the soldiers of the Gaochang army were released."

Su Dingfang responded: "Yes! The last general takes orders!"

Immediately afterwards, Su Dingfang distributed the task to the battalion commanders, and each battalion devoted themselves to the task as quickly as possible. In less than half an hour, all the prisoners of the Gaochang Army were untied from their ropes, but no one resisted, no one leave.

"Hey..." Cheng Yaojin looked at Yuchi Baolin and said, "Heitantou, your son has really grown up a lot. Look at his righteousness, he looks like a general."

Yu Chigong replied: "Your son is not bad either! He has lost a lot of weight, and he has also gained a lot of strength. Judging by his appearance as a leader, he will sooner or later be a great general."

Looking at the resolute white-robed army, the two flattered each other.

Qin Shubao shook his head helplessly at the side, and unconsciously looked at Luo Tong. His tall and straight body and stern face were exactly the same as his cousin.

Li Chengqian looked at the people and soldiers in Gaochang and continued: "The palace of Gaochang City will definitely not hand it over, but you still have a choice. Those who are not willing to serve the people of the Tang Dynasty can choose to leave Gaochang. Those who enlist in the army can choose to serve the people, and this palace will never pursue it."

"As long as I, Li Chengqian, am here, no one will bully the people of Gaochang!"

The people and soldiers in the city watched Li Chengqian's actions and listened to his words from the bottom of their hearts, and their sense of identity and belonging grew stronger in their hearts.

"I agree with His Royal Highness, I will continue to enlist in the army, and I will continue to protect the people of Gaochang..."

"That's right, the man should be blood-stained on the battlefield, shrouded in horse leather..."

"His Royal Highness is the master of enlightenment, I am willing to follow His Royal Highness..."

"I won't leave, I will continue to live in Gaochang City, I trust His Royal Highness..."

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves the people like a son, so what can we refute..."

The soldiers and civilians moved by Li Chengqian began to respond.

Suddenly, Li Chengqian looked at Zhang Xiong, who was in the Gaochang Army, and said loudly: "I don't know if I will be honored to continue to invite General Zhang Xiong to serve as the general of the Gaochang Army."

Li Chengqian has heard of Zhang Xiong's reputation for a long time. He is kind-hearted, caring about the people, jealous of evil, proficient in the art of war, and well versed in the way of leading an army. He is a talented general worth cultivating.

As the words fell, countless eyes turned to Zhang Xiong, eyes filled with anticipation, he had a very high reputation in the Gaochang Kingdom, and he was the soul of the Gaochang Army.

Zhang Xiong was even more shocked when he heard Li Chengqian's words. He dared to appoint a man who had just been captured as the general of Gaochang.

Although he had 1 wishes in his heart, he didn't move for a long time. Qu Wentai had just died, and he didn't know what capacity he would accept Li Chengqian's reorganization.

Li Chengqian saw Zhang Xiong's embarrassment and said loudly: "You know that you are loyal to Qu Wentai, the old master, but you don't know that you are loyal to the world. You are petty loyalty, not great loyalty! You only think about Qu Wentai who is dead, but you don't. Thinking of the people of Gaochang who have just come out of the blood and fire and suffered from torture, you are a Xiaoxian, not a Daxian."

"Zhang Xiong, when you want to see, if you don't want to take over the position of general, you can say it out loud."

"The world is very big, and there are many choices. If you understand this truth, you can say goodbye to everyone here! You have abandoned the soldiers of Gaochang! You have abandoned the people of Gaochang!"

"you……"

Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, Zhang Xiong ran out, "His Royal Highness, please stop talking! I, Zhang Xiong, am willing to join Datang, guard Gaochang City for Datang, and protect the people of Datang for a peaceful world! I am Zhang Xiong. I swear here, if there is any violation, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!"

Li Chengqian smiled heartily: "Small, if I can't handle it anymore, you really have a ghost!"

"Okay!" Li Chengqian said in a loud voice: "You are worthy of being the man in my palace's fancy. You are responsible and responsible. I will now appoint you as the prefect of Gaochang City, and concurrently as the general of Gaochang army, in charge of Gaochang's military and political power!"

Zhang Xiong responded: "The last general takes orders!"

Li Chengqian believed in his own vision, so he handed over all Gaochang to Zhang Xiong's hands, so that the hearts of Gaochang's army would be united, and the morale would be improved in the shortest possible time.
