    In the side hall.

    Xue Shouzheng was kneeling on the ground, with a Zhao soldier on each side guarding him. He raised his head slightly and saw the Emperor of Zhao, Li Chongjiu, eating at the table.  Li Chongjiu put down his chopsticks, and then the waiter came up to bring him tea to rinse his mouth and wash his hands with water.

    Xue Shou felt that the man in front of him seemed to be just like an ordinary man except for wearing a dragon robe and crown.

    "Xue Canjun, we meet again." Li Chongjiu said.

    Xue Shou raised his head and said with a sigh: "Li Chongjiu, you are just a member of the market, but you actually dare to wear the crown of a monkey, steal national weapons, and proclaim yourself emperor. I, Xue Shou, look down on people like you the most. Now I  The matter is not secret, and I have become your prisoner. I just want to die quickly."

    Everyone on the left and right was angry, but Li Chongjiu was not angry at all and said calmly: "I wanted to reminisce with you, but you are so determined to seek death. I have nothing to say. But there are many kinds of death. You can choose, I  I ask you but I can¡¯t, let¡¯s torture him first!¡±

    Xue Shou was shocked when he saw it and said angrily: "You haven't asked yet, why are you being tortured?"

    Li Chongjiu did not answer, but the Tingwei on the side stepped forward and said: "This is the rule of our hearsay department. No matter whether you ask questions or not, you will be tortured beforehand. Most of the prisoners' words are useless. Only what they say under extreme pain can be believed."

    "Your Majesty, during the execution, there may be blood splatter"

    "The soldiers and horses are used to seeing this. There is no need to change places. It's right here."

    "No! Your Majesty, don't worry. Soon, our Fengwen Division's methods will make even a stone speak."

    Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Okay, I will force you to give a confession when I go to court."

    The ministers have already had their lunch.  They are currently discussing in the main hall.

    "Your Majesty is here!"

    The ministers immediately fell silent, and each knelt down in order to greet them and shouted long live the mountain.

    Li Chongjiu sat on the dragon chair and said: "Everyone loves you, please be safe."

    After a pause, Li Chongjiu said: "Everyone agrees this morning. I have already heard the arguments against the conquest of the Tang Dynasty. Whether they are in favor of the conquest of the Tang Dynasty or against the conquest of the Tang Dynasty, I have learned a lot after sorting it out."

    Hearing this, all the ministers straightened up and looked attentively listening.

    Li Chongjiu glanced at the main hall and said: "Judging from the discussion in the morning, at present in Zhao State, the military generals are in charge of the battles, and the civilian officials are mostly cautious. I am very pleased that the military generals are in charge of the battles. It shows that you are brave and willing to fight for me.  The sharp spear and long sword pierced the Tang thief."

    Speaking of this, the generals of Zhao State all showed happy expressions.

    "As for the civil servants who opposed the attack on the Tang Dynasty, I also appreciate it very much, because there are so many people in the court who are taking the lead in the war. It is not easy for you to stick to your own opinions. Especially Lu Aiqing's sentence, what is good may not necessarily be good. What starts well may not end well.  It was really inspiring and I learned something.¡±

    Lu Chengqing lowered his head.

    "As for Wen Yanbo, Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, and Zhang Xuansu, you are all veterans who have been following me for many years, and you know my intentions best. This time, you are very cautious in your opinions on the expedition to the Tang Dynasty. You neither oppose nor approve, although it is.  Some ministers accuse you of inaction. But I understand what you mean."

    "My dear friends," Li Chongjiu said as he walked up the steps to the center of the ministers, "I know that my country, Zhao, was only founded four years ago, but the achievements it has made are greater than those of many emperors and generals, many dynasties, and several countries in the past.  It has not been achieved in ten or hundreds of years. At present, the only powerful enemy of Zhao is Li and Tang. Among the nine states in the world, only one is undecided. At this point, if there are one hundred steps to conquer the world, we have already taken ninety steps.  , are you worried now whether we have made it only half a century after traveling a hundred miles?"

    After hearing what Li Chongjiu said, all the ministers bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

    Li Chongjiu said: "Wen Qing, Wang Qing, the reason why you are so cautious is that you think that although our army has a great chance of winning this time in the Tang Dynasty, it is not enough to guarantee victory. However, comparing the victory and defeat, if the winner goes further, he can win."  The world, but if it loses, it will be in danger of destruction. But now Li Tang is under the rule of Li Shimin, and since he came to the throne, his power has become stronger day by day, so you are worried that if you don't attack now, you will miss the opportunity in the future. That's why you hesitate  You haven¡¯t made a decision, right?¡±

    After hearing what Li Chongjiu said, Wen Yanbo, Wang Gui and others bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise, I really think so."

    Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "Everyone is thinking of pursuing the country. I understand, so the benefits and risks of this matter are compared"

    Just as Li Chongjiu was waiting for his words, someone outside the palace reported: "Your Majesty, I heard that an urgent document has been sent from the Department!"

    Li Chongjiu said: "Bring it in!"

    After a while, a chamberlain put an official document into Li Chongjiu's hand.

    Li Chongjiu glanced around, and all the officials lowered their heads.  There was silence in the hall,After Li Chongjiu returned to the dragon throne, he opened the official documents and inspected them in the palace.

    After watching, Li Chongjiu shouted: "Where are the guards?"

    Eight tall and powerful guards outside the palace entered the palace and said, "What orders does your Majesty have?"

    "Capture Xue Wanshu, the Minister of Punishment!"

    Li Chongjiu shouted an order, and all the ministers were stunned, but Xue Wanshu shouted on the spot: "Your Majesty, I am wronged, I am wronged, I am not guilty!"

    But the eight guards mercilessly held Xue Wanshu on the throne and pinned her down.

    Li Chongjiu said coldly: "Xue Wanshu, are the two stunning beauties Li Shimin gave you still in the house?"

    Xue Wanshu immediately trembled after hearing this, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, I am aware of my guilt, I am aware of my guilt, I am temporarily obsessed with lust!"

    "It's too late to repent now. You took Li Shimin's gold and silver treasures, as well as his stunning beauty, and then followed the advice of his aide Xue Shou to prevent me from conquering the Tang Dynasty! I have always treated you well, why did you do this?  What's going on?"

    Xue Wanshu cried bitterly in the palace and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen was wrong. Please give Wei Chen a chance to change his ways."

    Li Chongjiu took a deep breath and said: "I still remember when I first entered Youjing. At that time, I had few talents and only a few thousand troops. I remember that I visited your father Xue Gong.  Entrust all the sons to me. Now I have more than half of the world, and you are serving as the minister of the dynasty, so I treat you well. But now that this has happened to you, I should kill you, but I think that your brothers are loyal and loyal.  I will spare you the death penalty and wander three thousand miles to Lingnan. I don¡¯t want to see you again."

    After hearing this, Xue Wanshu could only say with regret on her face: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."

    After Xue Wanshu was taken away by the guards, her brother Xue Wanshu, the shepherd of Luoyang Prefecture, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I failed to teach my younger brother well, and this happened to my Xue family. I feel guilty, and I beg your Majesty to convict you!"

    Generals Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun also stood up and said to Li Chongjiu: "Your Majesty, the last generals are also willing to take the blame together."

    Li Chongjiu looked at the three brothers of the Xue family in the audience. In recent years, the Xue family has exerted great power in both the court and the military due to their heavy use. Because the power is too great, it is inevitable that the behavior of the brothers will be a bit inappropriate.

    "But Li Chongjiu thought that they were meritorious officials, so when the imperial censor came to report, he didn't care too much and turned a blind eye. But now it's time to give it a beating.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
