Li Xiao said that the warriors cannot die under the sword of their own people.

Wang Fangyi was silent, Cheng Boxian was silent, and Xue Chuyu was silent, even... Although they were still meeting each other in Lanxi a day ago, fighting for life and death.

Everyone lost their smiles, and the joy of being promoted to the title was gone. Everyone regretted a powerful general like Zhao Chiman.

"You can't let Zhao Chi die in Chang'an."

This is what Li Xiao said to everyone for the first time.

Generals like Zhao Chiman were loyal to the Tang Dynasty. He had shed blood and was injured in the empire and fought for the empire. He should not die in Chang'an.

Li Xiao did what he said. He immediately borrowed paper and pen from the officials of the Ministry of Personnel and began to write memorials to the emperor. In fact, this was Li Xiao's first memorial, and he didn't even know the basic format of the memorial, but this did not affect him.

At this moment, he felt that he was full of passion and he had to do this.

When he returned to the Tang Dynasty, all he thought about was how to be a leisurely little landlord, hiding in the countryside of Lanxi, and enjoying the comfort brought to him by the prosperity of the Tang Empire in the foothills of the Qinling Mountains.

Now, he felt that it was necessary to contribute his strength to the Tang Dynasty, such as giving corn seeds, and saving Zhao Chiman now.

The Tang Empire was so powerful that it was fought by countless nobles like Zhao Chiman and countless ordinary people like Qin Xiong.

During the Lanxi turmoil, Zhao Chiman was a sinner.

But in the past, Zhao Chiman was a hero of the Tang Dynasty.

The peace of the Tang Dynasty that Li Xiao enjoyed today was also due to Zhao Chiman.

The heroes should not be forgotten, their achievements should be remembered.

Li Xiao was very excited to write, and even wrote half of the text without any vagueness. He didn't have any strokes. He wrote a long folding page in one go.

Wang Fangyi and Cheng Boxian and several noble children also wrote a memorial, both of whom were noble children. Zhao Chiman was their brother and their idol before, and he was full of sympathy for Zhao Chiman’s current experience.

Qin Xiong and Li Yuanfang, as ordinary soldiers, were not all jealous or hated by noble children like Zhao Chiman. They also admired brave noble officers like Zhao Chiman.

The officials of the Ministry of Personnel looked at the eight newly promoted lords in surprise, each of them put a pen with one pen, each of them silently, biting their lips and writing quickly.

When we heard that these eight were writing memorials to the emperor and pleading for Zhao Chiman, we were even more surprised. They were still fighting with Zhao Chiman yesterday, and they captured Zhao Chiman alive, but today they pleaded with the emperor for him.

Ganlu Temple.

Li Zhi and Wu were chatting while eating pastries. He smiled and said how happy Li Xiao was when he was awarded the title, saying that he was actually a vulgar person.

He also said that this time, Xue Cheng and the young players were even more loyal to him.

"Wang Fangyi is the queen's servant. Did Your Majesty forget it?"

Li Zhi laughed a few times, "Actually, although Wang Fangyi is the queen's subordinate brother, he is a rare talent. The late emperor admired him very much. For several years since I ascended the throne, I have been suppressing Wang Fangyi from letting him take office. However, I don't think this person has complained about me and is just as diligent in attending me. This is valuable. If I want to use him, I can't keep him idle."

Wu was not very happy, but it was obvious that the emperor said so, and she didn't continue to say anything more.

"Your Majesty, Hong'er is almost three years old now. Didn't your Majesty say that he would be the crown prince? Why hasn't he changed recently?" Wu asked.

Li Zhi frowned, "This matter is not easy to deal with. I have tested the reactions of the prime ministers before. Changsun Wuji and others firmly opposed it. Even Yuwen Jie and others also said that the Crown Prince Li Zhong was not a big mistake, and it would not be a wise move to easily abolish the crown prince."

Crown Prince Li Zhong and Dai Wang Li Hong are both children of a few years old. At this time, who can tell who is virtuous or not? Besides, neither of them is a legitimate child. The older Li Zhong is the chieftain and the crown prince was appointed first, so it is naturally difficult to easily talk about destruction and establishment.

In fact, Li Zhi knew very well that to depose Li Zhong, he had to depose Empress Wang first, but to depose Empress Wang, the Guanlong sect on Changsun Wuji's side did not agree, and even the Shandong gentry behind Empress Wang was supported.

There is no legitimate reason, this is very difficult to operate.

Li Zhi didn't mind deposing Queen Wang or deposing Prince Li Zhong. He was willing to make Wu the queen and Li Hong the crown prince, but now even Li Ji refused to express his opinion on this matter.

Even the military boss Li Ji did not express his opinion, and even the prime minister who stood on his side like Yuwen Jie did not support him, and Li Zhi had no choice.

"Your Majesty, Li Xiao, a man from Lantian County, Cheng Boxian, a man from Jingyang County, and Wang Fangyi, a man from Pingyao County, and eight others submitted a report."

Li Zhi raised his head, "But thank you memorial? Let it be aside, I will look back."

The eunuch lowered his head and said, "Lantian County man Li Xiao and eight others submitted a memorial to plead for Zhao Chiman, asking Your Majesty to pardon him for his death, allow him to guard the border, and make meritorious service."

Li Zhi was surprised when he heard this.

"There is such a matter, bring the memorial."

Li Zhi looked through the eight memorials, and the more he read them, the more angry he became. Especially Li Xiao, he actually said Zhao Chiman like a hero, why can't he let such an imperial hero die under his own sword?

Li Zhi was very dissatisfied. The few words of Wu just now made him feel a little nervous.

Now that Li Xiao has just given him a baron, he doesn't know how much he has, and he dares to accuse him of not killing Zhao Chiman.

Does he know who Zhao Chiman is?

Zhao Chiman is a relative of Changsun Wuji and Han Yuan. He executed Zhao Chiman not only because Zhao Chiman privately mobilized troops, but also because he was Changsun Wuji and Han Yuan's man. Killing Zhao Chiman also wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

"snort!"

After reading it, Li Zhi threw the memorial aside and ignored it. If it weren't for the merits of Li Xiao and others, he would have intended to send an envoy to scold the people.

Dali Temple.

Heavenly Prison.

Li Yifu, Minister of Personnel, was ordered to come to interrogate Zhao Chiman.

Several officials from Dali Temple pulled Zhao Chiman over. In just half a day, the peerless general who killed a tiger with both punches and kicked over a war horse was no longer as colorful at this time.

All kinds of tortures were exerted, leaving him covered in blood and not a good piece of meat on his body.

"Spray him a bucket of water." Li Yifu snorted coldly.

A bucket of ice water was poured over, and Zhao Chiman woke up.

"Tell me, how did you and Chu Suiliang and Changsun Wuji plan to rebel?"

"Changsun Prime Minister and Chu are prime ministers of the court, so how can we talk about rebellion?"

"But you are ordered by Chu Suiliang to privately mobilize troops, just to plot rebellion. Let me tell you, tell me the specific story." Li Yifu stared at Zhao Chiman. The emperor had already ordered Zhao Chiman to be beheaded in half, and Chu Suiliang was also demoted to Tanzhou, but Li Yifu was not satisfied, and he felt that he could still dig it out.

If Zhao Chiman could be asked to confess a rebellion case and drag Chu Suiliang and Changsun Wuji into the water, it would be a great achievement.
