As soon as Li Chengqian's decision was announced, it immediately caused a huge controversy in the entire imperial court and among the people of Chang'an, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu court were severely polarized in response to this announcement, and the jurists headed by the New Legalist School expressed their opposition, believing that Li Chengqian had rubbed his personal feelings into the laws of the state, and that Li Chengqian's actions were wrong, and they vigorously opposed it.

They said that in order not to let his personal feelings break the rules of the country's laws, Li Erqi couldn't avoid suspicion and handed over this task to Li Chengqian, who had no personal relationship with Qin Qiong, to do it, and on the one hand, he also hoped that Li Chengqian could handle this matter fairly and justly.

And Li Chengqian's doing this is obviously contrary to Li Erma's original intention, or has he rubbed his personal feelings into the national law, which is the foundation of Datang's governance of the world, if Datang doesn't even follow this foundation, what else can it follow? As a superior person, what face does he have to govern the country and the people? Who will obey you?

The Confucian scholars believe that this is a benevolent and righteous act, Qin Qiong Qin Lao General fought to the death for the country with his advanced body, this is a righteous act, and now that the old General Qin has died on the battlefield, we should give him the honor and reward he deserves, this is the consistent practice of the Tang Dynasty to treat meritorious heroes, like those people said to punish crimes, it is absolutely impossible, that will chill the hearts of the people of the world.

Legalist scholars still did not agree to Li Chengqian's practice, believing that it was an illegal measure, and they decided to collectively go to the palace of Li Er's palace to petition the emperor and ask Li Chengqian to retract such a practice. According to what they said, Qin Qiong and Suning were punished, Liaodong Army was punished, and then other people were rewarded.

After this matter made a fuss, but the controversy was stopped with Li Erma's agreement with Li Chengqian's way of disposing of it, Li Ermaxi still has an influence and decisiveness that ordinary people can't reach, he said that this is okay, then this is okay, few people will object, he said that this is not okay. Then that's not a no-no. Again, few people would object, and when Li Ermaxi was still alive, his power was solid.

To show his support for the rule of law, of course. Balance the power of the DPRK and China. He decided to cancel the glory that was originally given to Qin Qiong as the king. is still buried with the title of Duke of Yiguo, given the nickname "Zhuang", and the reward for Suning's promotion to a third-class duke is also canceled. is still a first-class three-primordial marquis, unchanged, and secretly put a little more effort into rewards as compensation, that's all.

There are still three days left, after Li Chengqian got the support from his father, he began to take urgent action, and assigned the work to various departments to implement it concretely, and everyone can go to the dispute casually when there is a dispute, but once the decision is made, everyone must deal with all things unconditionally, and they must not add their personal feelings to official business, which is a mistake and must be punished.

The crown prince, as a representative of the royal family, personally wore linen and filial piety to go out of the city to greet Qin Qiong's body, Mrs. Qin was added from the second rank to the first grade, and the status was equal to that of the princess, Qin Qiong's son Qin Huaidao attacked the third rank of the princess, and Qin Qiong's daughter Qin Ziyue added the second rank of the princess, and the status was equal to that of the Duchess of the country.

Mrs. Qin and Qin Ziyue were still in Su Mansion when they learned the news of Qin Qiong's death in battle, and they learned the news together with everyone in Su Mansion, everyone was shocked, Mrs. Qin fainted directly, Qin Qiong's son Qin Huaidao was still studying in the Military University, after learning the news, he was in a state of mind, he actually fell off a horse and was injured, and was urgently sent back to Qin Mansion, Su Mansion and Qin Mansion were in a mess, Su Ning and Su Dingfang were not at home, Qin Qiong, who was originally presiding over the situation, was gone, and the situation was difficult to control.

In the end, Li Jing rushed over, stabilized the situation, and with a man, he had the backbone, and Li Jing presided over the affairs of the Su family and the Qin family.

Finally, the day when the Liaodong Army arrived in the capital arrived, Chang'an City has become a white world, this is not a world of ice and snow covered in silver, but a world of plain silk, every door is a white vast, both adults and children are automatically put on the clothes to see off the deceased.

If it is said that in the past, this practice would be disgusted by many people, because the life and death of the big people have nothing to do with them, and it is a very disgusting thing for them to wear linen and filial piety for a person they don't know or even a person who does a lot of evil, and even can't eat hot food for seven days.

However, it has to be said that since the implementation of the labor reform policy, especially after the establishment of the military university, the military has become a very high status in the Tang Dynasty society, they are brave, strong, defend the country, open up territory, capture prisoners of war, and make great contributions to the people of the Tang Dynasty to get rid of conscription.

If it is said that labor reform is the most direct form of expression, then the variety on the table of the people is more and more abundant, the stomach is no longer hungry, even if there is nothing to eat, you can eat a full stomach without starving, people who could not read can read before, in the past, seeing a book was a thing that can glorify the ancestors, and now every household can't take out a book to decorate the façade? That's going to be laughed at!

The war brought so much to the Tang Dynasty, the taxes were more and more at the end of the year, and the harvest in some places was not good and was directly exempted, and the court became more and more generous, it is said that this is also the benefit of the army, and a lot of wealth was obtained for the court from various countries, and the soldiers not only defended the country and made them unharmed, but also brought a positive impact on their lives.

In times of war, military disasters are terrible disasters, but now, soldiers are the representatives of justice, and the students and officers of the military academy who have received the education of military universities have brought strict military laws and strict military regulations into the army, the number of standing armies has increased repeatedly, the proportion of military university students and officers in the standing army has increased, and the discipline of the army has been unprecedentedly improved, and the people are the most direct beneficiaries of this improvement.

Each family has two or more sons. are willing to let one of the children choose to apply for the military university, even if you can't pass the exam, you say that you have passed the first and second passes of the military university selection examination or something, it is also a good qualification, you can receive extra attention and attention when you enter the army, and you will get more promotion opportunities than ordinary soldiers, this is a test that every Tang boy is very willing to accept, and even there have been officer promotion activities in the army based on whether or not you have accepted the military university selection examination.

Therefore, the improvement of the status of the army and soldiers naturally affects the people's senses of soldiers, and their senses of soldiers are getting better and better, so the status of soldiers in their eyes is getting higher and higher, Qin Qiong, as a veteran of the army. The founding hero of the Tang Dynasty. The famous hero, the reputation of the people is not ordinarily high, before when the 150,000 troops of Goguryeo invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty, he led the army north to resist the enemy with his old body. He made indelible contributions to the people of the Tang Dynasty in resisting the attack of Goguryeo.

Qin Qiong is not a relative of the people. It's not a benefactor, either. Unlike Suning, the entire Sanyuan County has built a shrine for Suning, and the entire Sanyuan County is grateful to Suning. If something happened to Suning, just like this time, the people of the entire Sanyuan County took turns to come to Su Mansion to inquire about the details, and invited the respected old men to form a condolence team to ask if Su Hou Ye was well, whether Su Hou Ye was okay, etc., and only after getting an accurate answer did they leave with confidence.

Qin Qiong is a veteran of the army, an old hero who has won many big battles for the Tang Dynasty, but he was killed by Goguryeo traitors, and the public opinion of the people is very, very sad and angry about the distress incident between Qin Qiong and Suning, in addition to the dispute between Confucianism and Law, so for the arrival of the army and the arrival of Qin Qiong's body, many people spontaneously organized themselves to welcome the return of the loyal soul of the old hero with the official team.

On this day, Chang'an City went on strike, the people did not have to work, the peasants did not have to farm, the officials did not have to work, and the collective went out of the city to welcome the return of the loyal soul of the old general Qin Qiong, the prince Li Chengqian personally wore linen and filial piety, and led the official team to welcome the old general home with the most solemn and highest standard etiquette, and the people elected a respected old man to welcome the old general home on behalf of the people, Qin Huaidao, the son of the old general Qin Qiong, stood beside the prince, and Mrs. Qin and Qin Ziyue stood behind the prince in linen and filial piety together.

At noon, the flying horsemen sent out to inquire about the news rushed back to Chang'an City, and informed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that the coffin of General Qin had arrived......

Soon after, people saw a general-like figure wearing white armor and white cloak, he walked in the front, scattering white paper money as he went, and then, more people in white clothes and white armor appeared, white spirit flags replaced the "Tang" character military flag, white became the main color, and a coffin carried by sixteen people in white clothes and white armor also appeared in front of everyone.

The person who stood at the front and threw paper money was Suning, the current supreme commander of the Liaodong Army, as the commander of the first army, he personally opened the way for Qin Qiong's loyal soul, and the sixteen people carrying the coffin were all generals, led by Su Dingfang and Xue Wanche, all of whom were important generals, and they personally carried the coffin for the old general Qin and sent him on his last journey.

Qin Huaidao couldn't stop crying, kneeling on the ground and crying, Mrs. Qin fainted several times, after seeing Qin Qiong's coffin, she couldn't help herself fainting again, Qin Ziyue supported her mother, and she couldn't stop crying, and the three children followed her and knelt down for her grandfather; As the crown prince, Li Chengqian knelt down in tears, all the civil and military officials accompanying him knelt, and all the people around him knelt, and the sad atmosphere infected everyone.

Suning grabbed a handful of paper money and waved it into the sky: "Old general! Homecoming! ”

The troops shouted in unison: "Old general! Homecoming! ”

At the city gate, there were many responders: "Old General! Homecoming! ”

When Suning walked in front of Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian stood up and looked at Suning, Suning gave a military salute to Li Chengqian, and said loudly: "Suning, the deputy head of the Tang Liaodong Road March, was ordered to escort Qin Qiong, the head of the Tang Liaodong Road March, to arrive in Chang'an on time!" The old general was martyred on July 29, the eleventh year of Zhenguan, and the coffin of the old general is here, and the last general will not disgrace his mission! ”

The sixteenth general carried Qin Qiong's coffin to the front, and slowly and carefully put it down, for fear of disturbing Qin Qiong's loyal soul, Li Chengqian walked to Qin Qiong's coffin while crying, and saw Qin Qiong's neatly dressed Qin Qiong lying quietly in the coffin, looking peaceful, as if halfway asleep, Li Chengqian cried loudly, Cheng Biting Jin and Yu Chi Gong stumbled over, holding Qin Qiong's coffin and crying and not letting go, no one else was useless, the scene was extremely sad, almost everyone was in tears, everyone was sad.

Not long after, Mrs. Qin, who woke up, stumbled over with the support of Qin Huaidao and Qin Ziyue, jumped into Qin Qiong's coffin and hugged Qin Qiong's body and cried non-stop, no matter how others persuaded her, she refused to let go, crying and wanting to go with her husband, how can I live alone when my husband is gone......

At this moment, with a shout of "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived", the whole scene fell silent...... (To be continued......)
