Since that strange snowfall in July, the weather in the whole Liaodong is not hot, even in July and August, when it is the hottest, it is still necessary to change into thick clothes in the morning and at night, so as not to be infected with wind and cold, along the way, there are many soldiers who are physically strong, do not change cotton clothes to guide zhì infected with wind cold, and fall ill, Suning ordered these soldiers to be gathered and placed in the carriage for treatment, and then sent people to announce some requirements for disease prevention throughout the army.

However, Suning does not dislike the climate of Liaodong in his heart, for Suning, this cooler climate is more conducive to preserving Qin Qiong's body, that day's July Flying Snow was required by Suning to save a large part of it, used to ice Qin Qiong's body, the cold temperature can slow down the rate of decay, Qin Qiong must hope to return to the roots, bury himself in his hometown, and return to his original place, which is the hometown complex that every Chinese has.

Suning will never allow Qin Qiong's corpse to rot before it is buried in the ground, that July Flying Snow is not only God's mourning for Qin Qiong in Suning's view, but also an important material that can ensure that Qin Qiong's body does not decay, how can such a loyal and brave general not deserve such a favor from God?

On the way back, the atmosphere was very depressing, Suning knew that as far as military law is concerned, protecting the safety of the commander is a major task of the army, if the commander is killed, then the entire army will be implicated, the soldiers respect this old general very much, and they are very sad about his battle, and he will be punished for going back, how can he be in a good mood? Originally, the Liaodong Army's contribution was the greatest, expanding the territory for thousands of miles. Destroy the four countries and two ministries and obtain a lot of efforts and population resources.

But with Qin Qiong's death, it has brought a very huge impact on this achievement, and it is an indelible stain, Zhang Shigui and Zhang Liang were even more surprised to learn at this time, Zhang Shigui hurriedly chased Suning's large army from Youzhou port to the north, Zhang Liang also set off directly from Yangzhou port to the north, calculated the date, and wanted to meet with Suning before going to Chang'an.

In just a few days, this great glory was stained so much......

How is this acceptable? Obviously, as long as you go back, you can enjoy the supreme glory. Qin Qiong encountered this kind of thing after he had already achieved a big victory.

This campaign. The East China Sea Navy and the North Sea Navy are also within the scope of the Liaodong Army, and they have to receive rewards and promotions together with the Liaodong Army and Army, but now, everyone is honored. One loses all. In just a few days, the sea has changed. How do you accept it? After fighting for so long, when everyone was about to enjoy the fruits of victory, the commander of the army was killed. The lieutenant commander of the army was seriously injured and fell into a coma, which was difficult for all the soldiers to accept.

Qin Qiong's personal guards and Suning's personal guards, including the entire Chinese army guards, have suffered tremendous pressure, and the four guards once wanted to kill themselves to thank their colleagues in the army and Su Houye, Qin Qiong's personal guard captain hanged himself in the camp tent guiltily, shocking the whole army, Suning reprimanded the whole army for this, and personally prepared a coffin for the captain of the personal guard, ready to bury him next to Qin Qiong, and fulfilled his loyalty.

Suning also appeased those generals and pacified his own escort team, because it was his own mistake, the reason for this, if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't think about it for a while, he was in a trance, which made Qin Qiong want to take him out for a walk, so he didn't bring too many guards, so that he was exploited by Yuangai Suwen and Li Chengyin, if it wasn't for his own momentary confusion, how could this kind of thing happen, Suning said this directly in front of the whole army, suing those troops who put pressure on the pro-guard camp, all responsibilities, Suning will bear it with all his might, if you suffer losses because of this, the Su family will have to repay all the wealth scattered!

The whole army is ashamed, and the pro-guard camp is ashamed and indignant, strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as the mistake of Suning and Qin Qiong, because protecting the commander is originally the task of the pro-guards, no matter what the personal wishes of the commander, the pro-guards in the army have the responsibility and obligation and the right not to leave the commanders and generals for half a step, especially away from the barracks to hunt, even more so, for them, this is a dereliction of duty, and the death sentence is irrefutable.

The entire Liaodong Army has changed from the most glorious army in the Tang Dynasty to the saddest army in the Tang Dynasty, the original meritorious army, because of this kind of thing, the situation and status of the director zhì are extremely embarrassing.

And Li Chengqian also felt that this matter was very tricky, to put it mildly, this matter was an accident, a tragedy caused by the imperfect military regulations and military laws of the Tang Dynasty, and the precious means of dealing with them were to directly hold the relevant personnel accountable, or execute a few people who neglected their duties, and then revise the military laws and regulations, formulate more strict and delicate military laws and regulations, and then appease the victim's family, posthumously confer an honor, and at the same time investigate his own mistakes.

However, Qin Qiong's identity and Suning's identity are destined to cause shock in the entire Tang Dynasty, the army has won a big victory, expanded the territory for thousands of miles, gained a population of millions, and the materials are not counted, or the success under the disadvantage, this kind of merit is extremely rare, the Liaodong Army can get a huge reward, but there is a shocking incident of the death and injury of the deputy commander at the stall that is about to return to Chang'an.

Li Er Majesty was overly sad because of the old minister Qin Qiong's battle, he couldn't handle state affairs for several days, and he didn't even go out of the door of the palace, the crown prince Li Chengqian urgently supervised the country, and was authorized to deal with the big celebration and Qin Qiong's funeral matters, Li Chengqian was overwhelmed, and the entire prince's east palace worked day and night, Li Chengqian didn't sleep a single sleep for three days and three nights, extremely tired, but couldn't sleep at all.

In the past few days, Li Chengqian, as the crown prince of the prison state, convened the ministers in the council hall of Li Er's Xià to discuss what to do about this matter, and everyone's opinions are not unanimous, the military has the views of the military, the civil officials have the views of the civil officials, the civil officials have the views of the Zongheng family, the Confucianists have the views of Confucianism, and the Legalists also have the views of the Legalists, only the Mohists have remained silent.

Li Chengqian frowned, and it wasn't until Suning's military report came that he saw a little bit of the dawn of a turnaround, this thing is actually like this, this can really be regarded as a fate, belonging to Suning and Qin Qiong's fate. Who is to blame?

Li Chengqian reported this matter to the ministers, and solicited the opinions of the ministers, especially the Confucianists in charge of the Ministry of Rites and the Legalist officials in charge of the Criminal Department, this matter could not be separated from the scope of the ritual system and the criminal law, and the Confucians and Legalists had a heated debate on this, Confucianism believed that this matter should follow the ancient system, and at the same time as the big celebration, it should also pay attention to the funeral of Qin Qiong, the Duke of Yiguo, after all, he died in battle, not died of illness. Although by his own problems in it. But his credit cannot be overlooked.

Legalist officials held that this matter involved the legislative issues of the army and the country, and that the etiquette system could not be decided, let alone separated from the scope of the "Zhenguan Law", and that Qin Qiong, the chief governor of the Liaodong Provincial March, and Sanyuan Hou Suning, the deputy chief of the Liaodong Provincial March, had clearly violated military regulations and military laws. Penalties must be given. Because of their own negligence led to the punishment of military regulations and military law problems. not only exposed the lack of military regulations and military laws, but also made Qin Qiong and Suning responsible.

To be punished, must be punished. It is unfair and unjust, there is nothing wrong with the army, it is Suning and Qin Qiong who are wrong, and the big celebration cannot be changed because of personal mistakes.

The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs launched a fierce debate on this, which gradually evolved into a debate on the important core issue of whether the country respects the law or respects the courtesy, and the Ministry of Vertical and Horizontal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Military Affairs are watching from the wall, Li Chengqian has a headache and it is difficult to make a choice, and seeing that the return date of the Liaodong Army is getting closer and closer, Li Chengqian is in a hurry, like ants on a hot pot, and the subordinates of the East Palace are also worried.

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling and other important courtiers saw that the prince was embarrassed, and the court quarreled over this matter, their brows were tightly locked, and they repeatedly asked to meet Li Erma, and asked Li Erwei for instructions on important issues, including whether to go out of the city to meet Qin Qiong's body and the dispute between Confucianism and Law, but the eldest grandson Empress who came out to meet the ministers always had only one sentence - His Majesty had an order, and the ministers would go to the prince to discuss anything, and then sign the decree together, and they could make a decision, as long as they told the result, You don't need to ask me for advice.

The ministers were helpless and anxious, Li Chengqian was even more helpless and anxious, dealing with daily government affairs made him exhausted, not to mention dealing with this tricky matter, he couldn't eat or drink water, and his temper was a lot more irritable, Li Tai heard the words and came to visit his brother, hoping to comfort his brother, but he was shocked by the madness of the entire East Palace, seeing that Li Chengqian was red-eyed and was about to leave himself to help him share government affairs, he was shocked, and left in a hurry after a hurried visit, and said again and again that he would not do this kind of thing if he was killed, If being an emperor is like this, then he won't be an emperor if he dies.

Li Chengqian is now desperately hoping that someone can help him, especially longing for Suning to be by his side to give him advice, but Suning is now involved in this matter, and he is still in the army, so he can't provide him with any effective advice, and this matter is gradually not up to him, not only the DPRK and China, but also the people have a lot of controversy and opinions on this, and the students of the University of Political Science and Law and the Military University have repeatedly asked the teachers and the ministers and generals who came to teach the subjects to put forward their opinions to the emperor on their behalf, the entire Chang'an City is arguing about this matter, and the trouble is boiling.

It can be said that this happy celebration that would have gone down in history has gradually changed its taste, how to balance Qin Qiong's death and the army's reward is the key point, except for the Anxi army still fighting in Persia, almost all the generals and soldier representatives who participated in this major battle came to Chang'an City to wait for the reward, if this is not handled well, it will affect the whole body, and it will affect the root of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengqian finally felt how heavy the burden was on his father, and he suddenly found that he was not ready to bear this burden, whether it was physical or psychological, he was not ready, this was a very strict problem, as the prince of the prison country, he could not be confused, he could not hesitate.

When he quickly reported that the Liaodong Army was still three days away from Chang'an City, Li Chengqian finally realized that he had to make a decision, and the pressure from the ministers, the people, and the future generals in the University of Political Science and Law and the Military University made him have to make a final decision, because it is also related to the answer to such an important decision as "whether the royal family will go out of the city to welcome Qin Qiong's body".

On the council hall, facing a pair of oppressive eyes, Li Chengqian made the final decision - three days later, Manchang'an wore plain silk to carry out a national funeral for the Tang Dynasty hero Qin Lao General, Li Chengqian, as the prince of the prison country, personally dressed in linen, went out of the city to greet Qin Qiong's body, and then the whole Chang'an mourned for Qin Qiong for seven days, seven days without cooking on fire, only eating cold food, seven days later, after putting Qin Qiong into the ground, in front of Qin Qiong's tomb, a grand celebration ceremony was held.
