Tai Chi hall.
The courtiers bowed their hands and said hello to each other. The joy brought by Tang Hao''s wedding yesterday still permeated the faces of all the courtiers.
Talking and laughing, the ministers waited for the arrival of the king of the Tang Dynasty.
Outside the hall, Du junchuo was uneasy and dignified. He strode into the hall and knelt in the hall without saying a word.
Seeing Du junchuo''s appearance, the ministers couldn''t help looking at each other and were deeply puzzled.
Eldest sun Wuji looked at Du junchuo, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Gao Shilian again and motioned Gao Shilian to ask.
Du junchuo was the youngest tiger general under the king of Tang at the time of Xuanwu Gate. He was responsible for the aftermath of Xuanwu Gate and won the trust of the king of Tang.
After the Xuanwumen incident, he volunteered to stay away from the court and led the troops to Lingnan, rarely returning to the court.
Seeing the eyes from the eldest sun Wuji, Gao Shilian moved his steps, looked at the figure kneeling, and shook his head slowly for a long time.
This man is a trusted follower of the king of Tang. He is silent and follows the holy order. He is afraid that he should ask something he shouldn''t ask.
Thinking, a slender eunuch voice came from the hall.
"Your Majesty has arrived."
After the ministers bowed, the king of Tang saw Du junchuo kneeling on the ground.
Seeing the general returning to the court, the king of Tang instinctively had a bad feeling in his heart.
Slowly holding the Dragon seat, the king of Tang looked a little chilly and said.
"Du Aiqing, why are you kneeling in the hall?"
The figure kneeling on one knee, with his head lower, responded loudly.
"Minister, I''m guilty. I hope your majesty will punish me."
Hearing this, the king of Tang slightly frowned and said.
"Guilty? Come on!"
The king of Tang knew in his heart that this general, who had always adhered to prudence, rarely committed crimes in his own hands.
But there has never been such an emergency.
Thinking of this, the king of Tang had a serious look on his face and secretly shook the armrest of the Dragon chair.
The figure kneeling on the ground trembled slightly and said.
"Your Majesty, due to the lax discipline of the sinners, the grain stored in the granary has become moldy and sprouted."
"All the grain in recent years... All the grain has been scrapped."
As soon as the voice fell, the courtiers suddenly changed their complexion.
Whether civilians or soldiers, food is the root of survival.
Poor care leads to the scrapping of grain hoarding, which is a great crime to behead!
Sure enough, in the hall, the king of Tang stood up and pointed to the figure kneeling in the hall.
"A great general can''t even hold a granary!"
"I don''t want you to use it!"
Longyan was so angry that his roaring voice echoed in the whole hall.
For a moment, the whole court was dumb but speechless. Many ministers hung their heads slightly, looked at the chaoban in their hands, and waited for the fall of the king of Tang with bated breath.
On the one hand, it was the loyal General of the king of Tang, and on the other hand, there were tens of thousands of victims. How to choose or not depends on the king of Tang.
The figure on the ground trembled, and his head dropped lower, crying.
"Minister, you deserve to die! You will be incompetent!"
"I''m sorry for your Majesty''s entrustment!"
Seeing that the king of Tang was in a rage, the eldest sun Wuji glanced at the figure on the ground, gritted his teeth and stood out.
Now, there is no eldest sun Wuji to remind behind him. I''m afraid he will kill or cut in his anger.
As an old man who has experienced the Xuanwumen incident, he knows how hard it is for those who came out of that disaster.
Step forward slowly and sun Wuji arched his hand.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
"General Du has guarded the frontier for the Tang Dynasty all his life, and he was an outstanding hero at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. Looking at his great military achievements, he begged his majesty to give him a lighter hand."
While talking, sun Wuji slowly raised his eyes and looked at the king of Tang in the hall.
As far as he could see, the king of Tang was unmoved. On his cloudy face, he could not see any trend to reduce his crime.
Changsun Wuji paused and continued.
"At present, Quyuan plow has been widely popularized in the Tang Dynasty, with the expansion of cultivated land and increased grain income."
"General Du also made this mistake because of a moment of negligence."
"Your Majesty might as well remember general Du''s military achievements, make up for his mistakes and spare him this time."
After hearing what sun Wuji said, the color of the king of Tang improved slightly.
Although this person is his confidant, it is not good to take care of the granary after all. This is a felony.
If the punishment is light, it will inevitably lead to people''s dissatisfaction.
But this time, sun Wuji gave himself this step, and the things behind him were well solved.
The king of Tang Dynasty glanced at Chang sun Wuji, nodded slightly and said.
"What Duke Zhao said is reasonable."
After that, the king of Tang turned his eyes to Du junchuo and pointed.
"Du Aiqing, the crime of losing grain is unforgivable."
"For the sake of Duke Zhao''s intercession, I''ll send your head to you temporarily."
"After that, you should organize the production of soldiers and replenish the grain as soon as possible!"
"Get up!"
After hearing what the king of Tang said, Du junchuo, kneeling on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly.
"Thank your highness Ron."
After saying that, he arched his hand to changsun Wuji.
"Thank you, Lord Chang sun."
The king of Tang waved his big hand and said.
"Where is the Minister of household?"
Hearing the inquiry, an old man hurried out of the crowd, stood on the hall, arched his hands and said.
"I''m here."
"You can adjust enough grain and grass for Lingnan Prefecture for one year."
The majestic voice is indisputable.
After listening, the old man looked puzzled and hesitated.
"This..."
