The Golden Age Chapter 885: Chongzhe

The Imperial Study Room in the Palace.

Although it was late at night, the saint did not rest, but waited for Qin Xiao's arrival in the imperial study room.

"Wusha Town case, you already know it?" The saint looked at Qin Xiao who was kneeling on the ground, and asked straightaway.

Qin Xiao lowered his head and said: "I understand it, but...I don't understand why the saint let the Caomin know about this?"

"Caomin?" The saint chuckled, "Qin Xiao, are you blaming me?"

"The grass people dare not." Qin Xiao said immediately.

"You are still a Viscount, I also let you live in Shaoqing Mansion. What kind of grassroots, don't be cautious in front of me." The saint turned to look at the grandson Meier, and smiled: "Meier, look at this. There is no trace of self-righteousness in people."

The eldest grandson Mei'er smiled softly and said: "Eat a ditch and gain a wisdom, Lord Qin may know that he has done recklessly before and has become cautious."

"If he can really learn the lesson, I will be relieved." The saint said: "Qin Xiao, you have killed Yuangai Wushuang. Although you really fought for the face of the Tang Dynasty, you can also let the Tang and Bohai The relationship was suddenly tense. Because of a small loss, do you know that it was wrong?"

Qin Xiao raised his head and said sternly: "Sage, the Caomin is brave. It is precisely because he knows the big and small that the Caomin will kill the dog thief. Compared with the relationship with Bohai, the dignity of Datang trumps everything. Caomin is. I want people in the world to know that no matter who it is, there is only one dead end for anyone who dares to break the ground on Datang."

The saint sighed: "Meier, it seems that you are wrong. He doesn't seem to think that he is wrong at all."

The grandson Mei'er smiled inwardly, without speaking.

"The misfortune you caused, you have to deal with it yourself in the end." The saint calmly said: "What do you think of the Wusha Town case?"

Qin Xiao thought for a moment before asking: "Sage, is Wu Xingzhong's confession credible?"

"I have no doubts." Saint said: "If Ziyijian wants a person to tell the truth, there are a hundred ways."

Qin Xiao said immediately: "If it is true, Huangfu Yunzhao led the troops to pretend to be a Black Mountain bandit, slaughter the town and commit exploits. The crime is extremely heinous and must be severely punished."

"How do you feel punished?"

"Naturally, it is dealt with in accordance with national laws." Qin Xiao's eyes flashed coldly: "Killing innocents indiscriminately, killing good and doing meritorious deeds, is a capital crime."

The saint said indifferently: "So you mean to put to death all the 800 people who participated in the massacre of Huangfu Yunzhao and the town?"

Qin Xiao nodded and said: "You must kill."

"Who is going to kill?" The saint looked directly into Qin Xiao's eyes.

Qin Xiao was startled, and the saint calmly said: "How much do you know about the Liaodong Army?"

"The Caomin knows very little." Qin Xiao could only say.

"I tell you that although the Liaodong Army is a soldier and horse of Datang, it has another identity, a ground snake in the northeast." The saint slowly said: "It has been nearly a hundred years since Emperor Wuzong conquered the Bohai Sea. Stationed in the Northeast for nearly a hundred years, how deep do you think their roots in the Northeast? In the early years, the soldiers stationed in the Northeast, Ma Jingzhong, served the country, and they were brave and good at war. With them sitting in the Northeast, the surrounding barbarians were afraid of me like a tiger. , I dare not make the slightest change."

Qin Xiao sighed in his heart that the invincible teacher who crossed the world is early

It's gone.

"Today's Liaodong Army, although it is still the banner of the soldiers and horses of the year, most of them are the descendants of those elite soldiers, but compared to their ancestors, they have long lost all glory." The saint's expression changed. Calm down: "These people occupy the land in the northeast enclosure and are greedy for pleasure. In the eyes of the people, they are no different from those bandits."

Qin Xiao raised his head and looked at the saint: "Why did the court let them do harm to the Northeast?"

"The Liaodong Army had glory and guarded the Northeast for Datang for nearly a hundred years, and the court was very relieved of them." The saint's eyes were sharp and calmly said: "It is natural for them to set up a business in the Northeast, and the court will naturally not Treating the officers and soldiers who contributed to the empire badly. It’s just that the people’s hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant. During the first emperor, the Liaodong army’s appetite was getting bigger and bigger, and the land occupied was more and more. When the court wanted to deal with it, it was discovered that it was already The tail is big and can’t fall. Xiandi’s dragon body is not good and there are many national affairs. He also knows that dealing with the Liaodong army can’t be done too hastily, but I didn’t expect...!" At this point, he sighed, "I won’t wait for the first emperor to resolve this matter. Die, leaving the mess in the Northeast."

Qin Xiao thought about it for a while, then said: "The saint is worried. If Huangfu Yunzhao is punished in this case, it will bring serious consequences?"

"The Liaodong Army is already the strongest force in the Northeast." The sage sneered: "Huangfu Yunzhao can also be regarded as both civil and military. He has a very high prestige in the Liaodong Army. If you want to act on him, the entire Liaodong Army Will not agree, and even mutiny will occur because of this."

Qin Xiao has a solemn expression, but he stops talking.

The saint is obviously also worried about the situation in the northeast. His face is still cold and charming, and he ponders slightly before saying: "Regardless of whether there was this incident of Yuan Gai Wushuang being killed, Bohai has already become my master. Tang’s confidant trouble. I have prepared a strategy to recover Xiling, but one of the links is to ensure the safety of the Northeast. If the current Liaodong Army still has the courage of their ancestors, I will add some more troops to ensure that the Northeast is safe. Can wholeheartedly plan to suppress Li Tuo's rebels."

"Sage, if the murder in Wusha Town is indeed the Liaodong Army's killing of good and meritorious service, then the current Liaodong Army is already rotten to its roots." Qin Xiao said with a serious face: "The grassroots listened to Wu Xingzhong's confession, they killed good and performed meritorious services. , Because he did not dare to fight against the black mountain bandits, and was afraid of heavy casualties when fighting with the black mountain bandits. Wu Xingzhong was a ranger general of the Liaodong Army and was also a general at any rate. From his tone, he could hear the fear of the black mountain bandits. , Let alone ordinary soldiers. The Black Mountain bandits are just thieves in the Northeast. Compared with the Bohai Navy, which has been fighting all over the past few years, the strength is definitely far inferior. The Liaodong Army is afraid of even the Black Mountain bandits. The Bohai Navy’s operations? If the security of the Northeast is placed in the hands of such a soldier, Caomin will boldly say that once the Bohai people advance, a group of insects like the Liaodong Army will inevitably be vulnerable."

The saint obviously took this seriously, and nodded: "I think the same way. The safety of the Northeast cannot really be handed over to the Liaodong Army." Staring at Qin Xiao, he asked, "What can you do to solve this? Matter?"

Qin Xiao hurriedly said: "Sage, this is a major military affairs, the Caomin... how can the Caomin dare to talk nonsense?"

"I know that you never want to kill back to Xiling." The saint stared at Qin Xiao, with a slight smile on the corner of his lips: "But the northeast is restless, how can I easily use Xiling? If you can't think of a way, regain it. Xiling’s plan can only be postponed."

Seeing the expression of the saint, Qin Xiao knew that he was deliberately teasing himself. He knew better that the saint had already figured out how to solve the situation in the Northeast. He respectfully said: "The saint called Caomin into the palace,
