For the Tang officials who were well aware of the inside story, the most shocking thing at the end of April was Han Qi's resignation.

Han Qi took office as Minister of War and became the Northeast Pacifier.

The current Tang Dynasty court implemented the system of unique prime ministers. Under the prime minister, the six ministries were real departments with real power, and the Ministry of War has always been the most second largest department after the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue. The pacifier was just a temporary dispatch. More importantly, after Li Ze took over the power, this kind of local dispatch had almost never appeared.

In the eyes of many people, this means that Han Qi was exiled in disguise. In the eyes of Wuyi people, places like Pingzhou are basically desolate places.

Taking this matter in the overall situation, almost everyone thought that Li Ze took another big step forward on the road to independence in the Tang Dynasty.

Two powerful figures of the Royalist Party, Xue Pingyuan, were in the Western Regions. Han Qi, the only person in power in the court, was exiled to Pingzhou. The Royalist Party's strength in the court was almost wiped out. The remaining few cats and dogs were not in a state of chaos and could not make a few waves at all.

With Li Anmin taking office as Minister of War, everyone believed that Li Ze had cleared the obstacles on the road ahead.

What made the young man in the court admire Li Ze's skills was that Xue Ping was silent in the Western Regions. Han Qi also lowered his eyebrows and accepted such an arrangement. It was obvious that these two bigwigs had already bowed their heads to Li Ze.

Under such a cognition, some royalist figures in the North were almost silenced. They knew very well that even Xue Ping and Han Qi had agreed to this fact, which meant that there was no room for recovery. They were not Xue Han and the other two. Even those who opposed Li Ze on the surface could escape unscathed and at least they could live up to their old age. If it were them, they would be afraid that Xueliang's machete would chop off their heads without mercy.

At present, the imperial army is closely preparing for the final preparations before the southern expedition. It is very simple to find an excuse to cut off a few heads to sacrifice the flag.

A word of collusion with the fake Liang will be enough to destroy your family.

Even the poetry newspapers that have always advocated imperial power have quietly changed their style. They no longer use poetry to mock the present and discuss the affairs of the court. After two consecutive issues, they have truly become a purely literary newspaper. Of course, the sale is even worse.

When Han Qi left Wuyi, he was miserable and miserable. Only three or five people saw him off. Then he took only a few followers and went to Cangzhou first instead of Pingzhou as soon as possible.

For Han Qi, he went to Cangzhou first, so he naturally wanted to meet with General Wen Fu, the right-leading guard general, and Pan Motang, the navy commander. This time, the two men and their troops were a key link in the war against the Northeast. Moreover, the right-leading guard had just had a major incident, and the former general Shen Congxing was arrested for committing an incident, and many generals and schoolmen under his command were implicated. He needed to have a detailed understanding of the morale of the army, how morale the newly appointed Wen Fu had taken to the army to what extent he controlled the army.

Although the navy is a reassuring part, this time it is going to cross the sea expedition, weather, waterways and other information. Is Pan Motang already aware of it?

Han Qi did not know about naval combat in the past, but in the past few years he became the Minister of War, and Li Ze attached great importance to the construction of the naval army, which made him work hard to understand the naval army's combat strategy.

Compared with the Army, the difference is a world of difference.

He must know all this.

On the third day after Han Qi left, something that shocked all the officials in Wuyi once again happened again. While stunned, everyone was secretly alert.

The case of the former right-leading general Chen Congxing was finally sentenced.

Given that Chen Congxing's status was very high, the case was personally tried by Chun Yu Yue, the Minister of Justice and the Tang Dynasty's law amendmentator, and the Supervision Bureau sent personnel to participate in this trial throughout the process.

The result of the judgment: Decision!

The whole of Wuyi was shocked.

Judging from the case of Chen Congxing, the execution of the Li Jue seems to be the most reasonable judgment. After all, the number of greed is huge, and the wife and daughters are tainted. After the incident, they kill people all over the family in order to silence them. The Wuyi people, who are in a clear and clear political system, are really a crime. Not killing them is enough to calm the public's anger.

But if we look at Chen Congxing's background, it would be extremely unusual.

He has followed Li Ze since Li Ze was only a few years old and a little baby. He was serious enough to see Li Ze grow up.

In the early stages of Li Ze's painstaking management, he was a loyal follower and operator. He participated in almost all of Li Ze's early actions and made great contributions to Li Ze.

Li Ze's current status is almost the same as the last thin piece of paper from the highest position. If he wants to pardon Chen Congxing, it is just a word. Even if the glory, wealth, power and position are not guaranteed, it should be no big problem to save one's life if he loses his merits and sins.

Before the Ministry of Justice made a final judgment, almost everyone believed that although Chen Congxing was extremely guilty, Li Ze would definitely be nostalgic and save his life. This was also a kind of kindness to all those who followed him since he was a child.

No one expected that such a result would be.

Chunyu Yue's verdict shocked everyone even more.

Practice is merit, and blunder is a mistake. There is no saying that merits and blunders are incompatible.

Having made contributions, the court has given you the corresponding reputation and rights, which has already rewarded you for your contributions.

If you commit a sin, you must accept severe punishment from the law like ordinary people.

Once the result of this judgment is released, it will inevitably have a decisive impact on the same cases in the future. Atonement for sins with merit will become a past tense from then on.

Chen Congxing was killed and his family was confiscated, and his direct line was sentenced to be exiled. Even the Shen family was implicated. The Shen family, which had just been revived, was completely destroyed into the abyss before it was glorious for many years.

There was a sound of unlocking sound from the prison door. Chen Congxing raised his head and looked at the prison door with a pair of unscrupulous eyes. He was only in his early forties this year, but his hair turned gray in a short time. He curled up on the bed, and his energy and spirit were all broken.

Three days ago, Chunyu Yue came here in person and announced the final verdict to him.

Although he was a serious prisoner, he was treated specially in the prison because of his special identity. In the single cell, there were all living equipment, and there were no torture tools that he should have been given to the serious prisoner. On the small table, there was even a newly published Tang Weekly.

Tuhu appeared at the prison door.

A hint of hope flashed through Chen Congxing's eyes.

"Second Brother Tu!" He struggled to get off the ground from the bed, staggered and fell to the ground, but he hugged Tu Hu's legs: "Second Brother Tu, save me! I don't want to die! Please tell me and let me see you!"

Chen Congxing burst into tears: "I have even hugged the young master! I have made great contributions to the young master."

Tu Hu looked at Chen Congxing coldly for a while, looked at Chen Congxing who was crying and communicating, and roared angrily: "Chen Congxing, stand up for me, don't throw the faces of us brothers like a slug."

Chen Congxing was stunned by the roar of the tiger and got up with a grunt.

"Second Brother Tu, save me!"

"Chen Congxing, there were thirty people who came to the village. Over the years, eighteen brothers died in the battlefield. Two brothers died due to illness, and only ten were left. You are so lucky. This time, they dragged three of the few remaining people into the water. In order to cover up your scandal, they were all deprived of their military positions and titles and sent them to the Western Regions to serve as military troops. You should die. How should you save you? If you don't talk about the money you greedy, just think about the small school that you killed all over the family. Tell me, do you think about it? "

"Brother Tu, I was wrong, I knew I was wrong." Chen Congxing's legs became weak, but Tu Hu lifted it up and pressed it on the bench.

Looking at Chen Congxing, who was almost at the extreme of old age and decadence, Tu Hu said with extreme disgust: "Chen Congxing, the faces of us old brothers are nowhere to be put on now, and the face of the young master is also completely discarded. Thinking of the past affection, I will send you a trip on behalf of the remaining brothers, which is a complete blessing from our previous years. Remember it. When you go to the execution ground tomorrow, you will be like a man. If you dare to do it, you must be a man."

Chen Congxing burst into tears.

With a bang, Tuhu paused a pot of wine heavily on the table: "This is a pot of wine sent back by the elder brother from Hezhong Mansion to send someone to fast horses."

The eldest brother in Tu Hu's mouth was naturally the boss of these guards back then, Tu Lichun.

"Second Brother Tu, please let the elder brother say something to the young master. Brother Tu will definitely save my life if he has face."

"Don't dream. No one can save you. The right-leading guards have suffered a huge blow to the morale of the army because of this incident. The army's morale is booming. Wanfu is still desperately trying to save you after you! The war is imminent, and if you can't quickly gather the morale of the army, how can you fight?" Tu Hu said angrily.

After taking the wine glass handed over by Tuhu, Chen Congxing trembled with his hands, but he drank half of it and spilled half of it.

"Madam Xia!" The jailer's respectful voice came from outside. Chen Congxing jumped up and wanted to rush out, but Tu Hu reached out and pressed it firmly on the bench.

"Mrs. Xia He is here, she will definitely save me." Chen Congxing roared anxiously.

"Chen Congxing, no one can save you!" Xia He, who was dressed in regular clothes, said coldly at the door of the cell.

"Madam, please let me see you!"

"Do you still have the face to see the young master?" Xia He put the food box on the table, opened it, and took out a piece of cake from it: "This is what the young master made for you personally after he went home last night. He didn't ask anyone to help. Chen Congxing, after eating him, let's go on the road with peace of mind tomorrow!"
Chapter completed!
