814 The Emperor's Grace is immense
did not deny that there was a transfer of interests, shared a large amount of benefits to his subordinates, and admitted that he was selfish, as soon as Zheng Peng's voice fell, Cui Runyang's face changed, and he glanced at Zheng Peng with some hatred.
Oh my God, is this in the court, or is it admitting it in the face of malicious attacks by political enemies, thinking that this is a child's play? Even if you tell the truth, no one will praise you for being honest, even if you are stupid, don't admit it even if you are killed, this is not stupid, it is crazy.
If it weren't for his scruples in the court, Cui Runyang would really want to reward Zheng Peng with a mouth in the name of his elders.
Ou Yangming took the lead in attacking, and many officials rushed to impeach each other, clearly attacking in an organized manner, among so many people, the most eye-catching is Li Linfu, in addition to his relatively high official position, he is still from the Li Tang clan, and even the people from the Li Tang clan have spoken, is it from the emperor's instructions?
If that's the case, the donkey will be killed before the mill is unloaded, it's too urgent.
Everyone can see that the situation is very bad, at this time Zheng Peng is still unaware, relying on his favor by the emperor, he is open-mouthed, dare to say anything, don't you know that the most capricious person in the world is the emperor?
NaΓ―ve, naΓ―ve.
Cui Runyang and the people who cared about Zheng Peng were secretly worried, and the crown prince Li Ying, Ou Yangming and others all showed imperceptible sneers on their lips: Heaven is evil, you can forgive, you can not live, admit that you have selfish intentions, then you know the law and break the law, and the crime will be added to the first, and it will be difficult for someone to exonerate him at that time.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zheng Peng, and Zheng Peng said unconsciously: "The selfishness is that I found that the soldiers were too bitter, so I thought that they would have a better life, better worries, and higher morale, so I distributed the money to them, and I didn't consult the Ministry of War for this matter, nor did I get the emperor's permission." β
Li Linfu immediately asked: "General Zheng, you are knowing the law and breaking the law, and you should be guilty of one more degree." β
Zheng Peng saluted Li Longji: "Your Majesty, the self-discipline of Weichen is not strong, and he also made many mistakes during the expedition to Tibet. β
As soon as the words fell, the faces of the people present changed, and Wang Hui, the secretary of the military department, frowned and said: "Li Shilang may not understand the military camp, the morale of the army needs money to improve, and there must be brave men under the so-called heavy rewards, General Zheng wiped out Tubo at the cost of less than 10,000 people, and those money played a great role. Besides, General Zheng's money is used to fight wars and reward his subordinates, and he has not taken any money from his family, if this is also regarded as knowing the law and breaking the law, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the soldiers in the world? β
Ou Yangming retorted fearlessly: "Wang Shangshu's words, please forgive me for not agreeing, as the so-called state has national laws, and the army has military regulations, you can't know the law and break the law in the name of boosting morale, otherwise where will the law be?" β
Cui Runyang shouted loudly: "Ridiculous, the generals are outside, and the military orders are not subject to it, not to mention that General Zheng has the right to make his own decisions, if Ouyang Yushi feels that it is so easy to lead his troops to fight, why not lead an army into battle in person and plunder the land for the Tang Dynasty?" β
Just when everyone was clamoring and shouting, Li Longji couldn't help it and shouted: "Silence! β
Li Long basically came to watch the show, to see what these people were going to do, and to see how Zheng Peng coped, but he didn't expect to hear Zheng Peng say that he would resign and live behind closed doors, and he couldn't sit still on the spot.
Yesterday the whole city was paraded, Zheng Peng saw his wife's room halfway, and on the spot he and Pei Guangting took his wife's room in a carriage with him on the grounds of physical inappropriateness, with his temper, he knew what he was doing, Li Longji was in a good mood, he had opened one eye and closed the other, and let him go, but he didn't expect Zheng Peng to get an inch, and he didn't even want to be an official, and wanted to go home to enjoy happiness.
Obviously, a sentence of "there is the emperor's will" can shirk things, but he has to deal with it with mistakes and omissions, and it is clear that he will cut off his own career, and Li Longji is angry when he hears it.
Li Longji gave an order, and all the people present were silent at once, and everyone could hear that the emperor was in a bad mood, and no one dared to go against his will at this time, and the people who quarreled, including Zheng Peng, hurriedly saluted and pleaded guilty.
Looking at the silent courtiers, Li Longji's eyes first glanced at the silent Li Ying, then turned his gaze to Li Linfu, and finally fell on Zheng Peng, and said in a deep voice: "I have a will for Zheng Peng, the general of Zhengxi, I can act expediently, everything is in my control, and there is no need to mention the matter of impeachment." β
After that, Li Longji continued: "If anyone thinks that they can expand their territory and promote the prestige of the Tang Dynasty like Zheng Peng, I can also give the same power to act cheaply, and they will all step down. β
"The emperor is wise." After Li Longji's final decision, no one dared to refute the ministers, and each of them retreated to their positions.
Li Linfu glanced at Zheng Peng with some unwillingness, and returned to his position with some stupidity: he underestimated the emperor's tolerance of Zheng Peng, and also underestimated Zheng Peng's cunning.
Fortunately, although the emperor supported Zheng Peng, he did not reprimand himself, which is a blessing in misfortune.
It's a loss, Li Linfu secretly regrets in his heart, he wanted to be a minister like Wei Zheng, but he didn't expect the emperor to exonerate Zheng Peng with a word, the minister can't do it, and there is more Zheng Peng, the enemy, by the way, the people of the Boling Cui clan are estimated to not be able to see him again, and the only good news is that the prince Li Ying is estimated to reuse himself.
After everyone returned to their positions, Li Longji glared at Zheng Peng, turned his head to Gao Lishi on the side and said, "Lux, make a decree." β
The more Zheng Peng wanted to be lazy, the more Li Longji refused to let go, if it was a weekday, he would definitely reprimand him severely, but now it is a court meeting, write it down first, and settle accounts with him later.
Wang Hui, the secretary of the military department, said very well, he has made such a great contribution, if he doesn't reward it well, it won't chill the hearts of the soldiers in the world, who will die for Li Tang if there is really a war?
Gao Lishi hurriedly responded, then stood on the golden steps, took out a holy decree, and shouted loudly: "Zheng Peng, the general of Zhengxi, receives the order." β
"Weichen Zheng Peng took the order." Zheng Peng hurriedly accepted the order.
Colliers coughed dryly and soon began to read out:
"Disciples: Zheng Peng, the general of Zhengxi, Xuande Ming'en, observance of festivals and friendships, when entrusted with difficulties, he was ordered to be in danger, guard the border and the people, punish evil and promote prestige; Dedication to the prisoner of the Taimiao, Yi Xianchen Festival, won the public opinion, deeply comforted my heart, now specially sealed Yunlu General, sealed the champion candidate, a thousand households in the food town, appreciate the silver fish bag, admire this. β
Zheng Peng paused for a moment, and then thanked him: "The emperor's grace is vast, long live my emperor, long live, long live." β
General Yunlu is from Sanpin, Zheng Peng saw through the bandit plan implemented by Tubo, led less than 10,000 troops to conquer the west, relying on the divine power of firearms, and simply destroyed the Tubo that the Tang Dynasty had not destroyed for more than 100 years, this is a miracle of the world, and it is not too much to be promoted to General Yunlu, and it is not worth a surprise, and the champion candidate is to give Zheng Peng a surprise.
The champion candidate is the founding county candidate, the Tang Dynasty title is divided into nine grades, the founding county candidate ranks sixth, and then promoted to the county prince, Zheng Peng was less than thirty years old and sealed the founding county candidate, which is already very remarkable, don't look at it as just a county candidate, you can add the word "champion", even the national prince does not have its prestige.
In the sixth year of Yuan Shuo (123 B.C.), the famous general Huo Qubing of the Western Han Dynasty worshiped the hussar general with great military exploits, and was awarded the title of "Champion Hou", which means that the whole army was crowned.
When the holy decree was read, there was an exclamation from the court, and some generals looked at Zheng Peng's eyes full of envy and jealousy.
With Zheng Peng's military exploits, there is no exception to the promotion of the rank of knight, not to mention the county, even if he is promoted to the founding county prince or even the founding county prince, it is not surprising that Tubo has been making trouble at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and in more than 100 years, the Tang Dynasty does not know how much manpower and material resources it has spent to fight with Tubo, and I don't know how much I want to remove this thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and has not been able to do so, Zheng Peng only took seven years, less than 10,000 soldiers, to complete the great cause that the ancestors did not complete.
It is even known as the wolf Juxu of the Tang Dynasty.
Zheng Peng didn't think about being "Huo Quai", but looking at Li Longji, it was very effective to imitate the formation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The officials in the court were all knowledgeable people, and for a while, everyone looked at Zheng Peng's eyes differently.
