Chapter 2395 Punishment
Chapter 2395 Punishment
Yaoluoge Pijia was also a little surprised at this moment. He didn't expect that the Tang prince in front of him would really dare to kill him.
Isn’t he afraid of the Uighurs’ rebellion?
The various Tiele tribes in the north all had close ties with the Uighurs. As long as the Uighurs rebelled, many tribes would definitely follow them.
"What? Are you forcing me?"
Looking at the generals who stood up, Li Shen's face darkened.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, although General Yaoluoge is guilty, he has also made great contributions to the court.
During the Western Expedition, he was extremely brave and always led the charge, demonstrating the great momentum of the Tang Dynasty.
Isn't it a bit chilling that His Royal Highness Prince Ji wants to kill General Yao Luoge at this time? "
At this time, Chief Clerk Yang Hongli stood up, bowed slightly and said with a reminder in his tone.
“This king has always been fair and strict in his work. The court will naturally reward him for what he has done for the court, but he should also be punished for violating military regulations for the first time.
Does having military merits mean you can do whatever you want and act lawless?
Do you think it's the same if he attacks civilians?"
Li Shen didn't give Yang Hongli any face and asked back with a cold face.
"Your Highness, Prince Ji, although Yaoluoge Pijia was at fault, his crime does not warrant death. Please show mercy and forgive him this time."
Qibi Heli was from the Tiele tribe and was familiar with Yaoluoge Biga's father, so he pleaded for Yaoluoge Biga this time.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, please show mercy." Everyone bowed together again.
At this moment, Li Shen finally understood why his father was obstructed in his work in the court.
Originally, he thought that even if someone made a request, he would just agree to it and there wouldn't be so much resistance.
But now he felt that most of the generals of the Western Expedition Army were bowing to him and begging for mercy. If he insisted on killing Yaoluoge Pijia, there would be adverse consequences.
Yaoluoge Pijia also realized that King Ji really wanted to kill him. At the signal from Qibi Heli and others,
Yaoluoge. Pijia stepped forward and saluted:
"Your Highness Prince Ji, I was wrong. I shouldn't have robbed you of your property. My Huihe tribe is willing to compensate you."
This time, Yaoluoge Vijia's attitude was much better. No one is not afraid of death.
Glancing at everyone, Li Shen really wanted to drag Yaoluoge Pijia out and chop him to pieces, but he knew that this was not very realistic.
The people here will definitely plead for him, and he also has to consider the reaction of the Uighur tribe. Although he is not a politician, he also knows how to consider the overall situation.
While Li Shen was thinking, Wang Xuance leaned over and whispered a few words in Li Shen's ear.
Li Shen narrowed his eyes after hearing this, looked at Yang Hongli deeply, and then said:
"Well, since the generals have pleaded for him today, I will spare him this time. According to military regulations, I will punish him with fifty strokes of the cane and confiscate his personal spoils."
Li Shen's sudden change stunned everyone, and everyone couldn't help but look at Wang Xuance behind Li Shen.
They didn't know what Wang Xuance said to King Ji that made King Ji suddenly change his mind.
But this is a good thing, they are actually thinking about themselves.
As generals, they fought for the Tang Dynasty, risking their lives, but were beheaded for a trivial matter. This was very dangerous for them.
What should they do if they encounter such a thing in the future? Begging for mercy now shows their attitude, and someone will also plead for them in the future.
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji, for your grace." Ashina She'er immediately bowed and thanked him, then said to Yaoluoge Pijia:
"Ya Luoge, Pijia, if you make a mistake, you should be punished. This is the same in the Tang Dynasty or on the grasslands. This is the rule.
I hope you can learn to follow the rules when you go back and not make the same mistake again.
Come, take Yaoluoge Pijia away and punish him with fifty strokes of the cane."
After Ashina She'er finished speaking, he shouted outside, but no one came in. Then he realized that the outside had been taken over by the guard camp of Prince Ji's Mansion.
"Rengui, take him away and send him to the Ashina tribe to be caned."
Li Shen then gave an order to Xue Rengui who was standing beside him. Xue Rengui agreed and called two guards to take Yaoluoge Pijia away.
If Yaoluoge Pijia had not plundered Li Shen's treasure, his behavior would not have been a big deal.
Even if it was Li Shen's treasure, according to military regulations, the only punishment would be caning.
What Li Shen cared about most was that he killed the spies of Prince Ji's Mansion, although these spies were peripheral members of Prince Ji's Mansion and idle people in society.
But no matter what, it was working for Prince Ji's Mansion, and that was why Li Shen held on to it.
The other generals also had no good feelings towards Yaoluoge. Pijia, because of Yaoluoge. Pijia,
All the spoils they stored in Yanqi were plundered by King Ji, causing them to lose a huge amount of wealth.
Since Li Shen has made the penalty, the matter is over.
"General Ashina, the main purpose of my visit this time is not about Yaoluoge Pijia's matter.
Rather, I want to come and see the soldiers, these soldiers who have made great contributions to our Tang Dynasty."
Li Shen changed the subject, as if what had just happened was insignificant.
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji. I will accompany you to visit the various departments."
Ashina saluted quickly. He also knew that Prince Ji was just making an excuse.
After saying that, Li Shen stood up and left the tent surrounded by everyone.
The weather in late October was very cold and windy here. There was no one else here except the patrolling soldiers.
All the soldiers hid in their tents to keep warm, and no one was willing to come out despite the freezing weather.
Li Shen followed Ashina She'er and visited several Tiele tribes to check on the soldiers and have cordial conversations with them.
Of course there were other people translating, as these ordinary barbarians could not speak Tang language very well.
Li Shen discovered that these people were wearing clothes made of animal skins, especially sheepskin, and there was a foul smell when he approached.
They were accustomed to wearing furry clothes inside, which was different from those who wore fur in later generations like Li Shen.
It was not difficult for Li Shen to be hypocritical, and the smile on his face continued.
It was not until Li Shen arrived at Ashina She'er's tribe and passed a few tents that he suddenly stopped.
The smile on his face disappeared, his eyes widened, and he looked to the right. He was stunned for a long moment, then suddenly ran over.
Everyone had no idea what was going on and could only follow. They saw that the direction Li Shen was heading was actually the horse stable, where war horses were raised.
Li Shen stopped in front of a horse stall, his mouth wide open in surprise:
“Holy shit, Shfachi!!! Is this Shfachi???”
He turned around and looked at Ashina She'er, pointing at a warhorse in front of him, and asked loudly and excitedly.
Shifachi? Everyone looked at the warhorse in Li Shen's hand with confusion.
This is a pure red warhorse with a dark red coat without a single stray hair. It has a nimble body, lively eyes and a heroic air.
You can tell at first glance that this is a BMW horse.
"Shifachi!! His Royal Highness Prince Ji said this is Shifachi?" At this time Xue Wanbei also screamed and came to Li Shen's side to look at the warhorse.
(A white horse and golden reins, full of lofty spirits, a spring breeze fills his sleeves and makes him drunk with flowers. A sword traverses the world with heroic courage, and poetry is passed down through the ages with joy.)
