Outside the Xuanzheng Palace, Liu Ge and others were wailing in pain. The execution guards were all Dugumou's men, so it was strange that they could do it so lightly. Of course, this does not mean that Liu Ge and others were incapable of wailing when they were beaten.

, but they have rich experience and know that this kind of howling is the best for them who are being tortured.

Ignoring the howling outside, Li Chengqian asked Henglian to get something to eat and drink. He and Qin Qiong both had weak stomachs after staying up most of the night. No matter what happened, let's talk while eating. As for food

No words, I'd better keep the lies in Bie Buyu to fool Li Xiang and the others!

After happily drinking a bowl of millet porridge, Qin Qiong put down the bowl in his hand, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, do you feel that what I just said was a bit inappropriate, and it made you unable to come to the stage?"

The prince has commanded the army for many years, and he has always been consistent in the army. He is stricter in running the army than the emperor. This is why he is victorious in every battle. According to common sense, the prince has already given the order, so Qin Qiong should not stand up.

Objection, this is not the way to be a minister, even if he is the prince's teacher.

But if these people are killed tonight for breaking into the palace, the situation will be irreversible and will be extremely detrimental to the future of the prince. The reason Qin Qiong gave is very simple. Yuchi Jingde is the emperor's absolute confidant, more powerful than he and Cheng Zhijie.

Even more.

It can be clearly seen from the official title or the degree of favor received. This has also caused more and more people in the army to rely on Yuchi, and this relationship has become more intricate.

Since entering the Zhenguan Dynasty, Yu Chigong's status in the army has skyrocketed, and his reputation is only slightly lower than that of Li Jing. However, when it comes to power, he is indeed a man of one word. Although Li Ji and Hou Junji are famous, they are not as good as Li Jing.

Yuchi, whose buns have pleats without fillings, is much better than them.

Especially after the establishment of Nanbei Yamen, Yuchi's defection to his generals was like a crucian carp crossing a river, because everyone believed that Yuchi was the emperor's number one confidant, and joining him was equivalent to joining the emperor; of course, this has to be said.

Among them was the emperor's move to add fuel to the flames, the purpose of which was to weaken Li Jing's power in the army.

To put it bluntly, at least 20% of the generals in the entire Nanya Twelve Guards came from Yuchi's sect. These few are just a drop in the bucket today, and they are the least brainy among them. If the prince really wants to be happy for a while

Killing these guys would be tantamount to offending the entire Yuchi line of generals.

Qin Qiong has led soldiers all his life and fought in battles all his life. He understands very well that even though the prince has extraordinary military accomplishments, has won many battles, and is famous all over the world, for the army, which is a place where emotions are placed, relying on the

A little prestige and noble status can convince them.

To put it more clearly, take the Xuanjia Army currently stationed in the Daming Palace as an example. The prince can instruct them to act, but he cannot make them surrender willingly, because this army belongs to the emperor alone, and only obeys the emperor’s orders.

.

Yes, for many years the emperor has promoted the nationalization of the military in the military. In addition to demarcating the north and south yamen, he also implemented a corresponding promotion system in the military in order to dilute the influence of the generals; but the military's shortcomings of forming cliques are also

It cannot be cleared up in a day or two, or with some means.

What's more, this is a way to weaken the combat effectiveness. The consequences of the soldiers not knowing the generals and the generals not knowing the soldiers are likely to make the Tang Dynasty fail in the next war, or the next war. Therefore, the emperor was very careful when doing it, and he was very careful.

Handle it gently, like playing with eggs.

Tonight, as long as the heads of Liu Ge and others fall to the ground, even if a mutiny is not triggered, from now on the generals of Nanya Yuchi's line will complain, allowing those who are interested to take advantage of it, and from now on they will secretly and deliberately go against the East Palace.

, becoming a stumbling block on the prince's way to the throne.

The pleasure was great, but the price paid was too high and not worth it, so Qin Qiong would rather let him lose face than let the prince do such a stupid thing. He knew in his heart that he was a pragmatic and truth-seeking student, and he made his heart clear.

Otherwise it wouldn't be annoying.

As for Yuchi Jingde, who was the cause of the incident, Qin Qiong suggested that he should issue an edict to reprimand him, and that he should go to the mansion to read it in person, and have a good chat with this old brother, so that he could actively cooperate; Qin Qiong did not believe him after having been Yuchi's brother for so many years.

Doing things that are detrimental to the dignity of elders just to care about their children.

In any case, this misunderstanding must be resolved as soon as possible to avoid causing any irreparable rift between the emperor, the prince and Yuchi, which would be worth the loss.

"Teacher, you are very calculating. At this point, what else can I say?"

Li Chengqian understood the meaning behind Qin Qiong's words. The road to the sky was already extremely bumpy, and he didn't want to make too many enemies because of conflicts of temper, making the road even more difficult to walk.

"However, please tell the teacher to the Duke of E that there is nothing wrong with it. The royal family's grace is always there. Today, I can just look at the teacher's face and let it go.

If trouble occurs again, let alone some of the generals in Nanya, no matter how meritorious they are, they will never tolerate it! Imperial power is supreme, generals can be abolished, and the country cannot be shaken."

After finishing speaking, he got up and went to the case, wrote a handwritten letter, stamped it with the prince's seal and gave it to Qin Qiong, indicating that he could leave.

It is true that Li Chengqian sympathized with Yuchi Gong, but this was all under the premise that the stability of the government and the army must be ensured, otherwise no one would have anything to talk to.

After Qin Qiong left, Qin Huaiyu and Fang Yizhi, who had finished beating the man, also walked in. When they saw the prince sitting on the steps waving, they shook their purple robes and sat at the prince's feet, looking up and waiting for the prince's instructions.

Also, since the situation in the army has changed, the original vigilance mission of the two of them should also be cancelled, right?

"From now on, the Sixth Rate has entered a state of combat readiness, and all activities such as vacations, retirements, and family visits will be stopped. People will not take off their armor, and their horses will never leave their saddles. All the Zhechong Mansion under the Sixth Rate's jurisdiction will be on standby at any time. The two of you will each have half of the troops and horses.

, waiting for Gu’s orders at any time.”

After hearing the prince's military order, Qin Huaiyu and Fang Yizhi both took a breath of cold air. Since the six rates were converted into field guard rates, the prince has never issued such an order, even when the battle situation is fierce.

I have never touched so many people before.

The Zhechong Mansion under the jurisdiction of Liu Lv is different from the military mansion in the ordinary sense. The soldiers under its jurisdiction are all veterans who have retired over the years, and they must be in the prime of life. Except for the farming season, they also receive three months of high-altitude training throughout the year.

Intensive training and sufficient military pay.

Once these retired veterans are recalled, the army under the direct jurisdiction of the Sixth Army will at least more than double. The prince's use of so many troops shows that he is afraid of the commander-in-chief Yuchi Gong to a certain extent.

"Remember, you have to send your best scouts to watch the Nanya camp twelve hours a day. Don't think that this matter has passed, otherwise the teacher will not go there in person. It is true that Yuchi Gong is a loyal minister, but there are some loyal ministers.
