Li Ye shook his head and said: "That's ridiculous. I really don't know how you, the imperial censor, got involved. How many gifts did you give to your boss?"

Wei Jiansu couldn't help but reprimanded: "General Li, just discuss the matter as it is and don't want to attack personally?"

"Okay! Let's discuss the matter. I would like to ask Zheng Yushi, is it legal for them to recruit five hundred protective warriors?"

"this……"

Zheng Ang suddenly knew what his problem was? The imperial court simply did not allow an organization to recruit more than a hundred warriors.

Those with less than twenty persons shall be approved by the county government, those with less than fifty persons shall be approved by the government office, and those with less than one hundred persons shall be approved by the political hall.

The only samurai group with more than a hundred members that was specially approved by the emperor was the Qingshan Tower of the Yang family.

Therefore, the various forces in Chang'an are just playing around, opening martial arts gyms to recruit students, and the manor organizes tenant farmers to train during their spare time. In fact, they are training villagers.

It is obviously a serious violation of the law for the Maitreya Cult to recruit 500 warriors. Since it is a serious violation of the law, you cannot describe them as innocent victims. You must know that the imperial court is also very cruel in suppressing the illegal recruitment of a large number of warriors. If you do not surrender, if you resist, it will be regarded as Those who rebel will be shot to death.

Zheng Ang knew that he had ignored the key issue of legality, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "General Li, no matter whether they are legal or not, they don't know that Yuan Mile is going to rebel. They just come here with money to maintain order. If they know that they are going to rebel, I believe none of them would do anything stupid for that little money.

But you didn't give them a chance and killed them all as soon as they came up. Do you think what you did was moral? "

All civil and military officials in the dynasty shook their heads secretly. Zheng Ang was about to lose and lost his legitimacy. Any explanation he gave would be far-fetched and forcefully lead Li Ye into an unethical direction.

Legality, defeat the enemy with one move!

Li Ye laughed, "First of all, I am not a murderous person. I met Peng Haiyan at the gate of the manor. He told me that Yuan Mile was going to rebel. In fact, I could see it. Most of the farmers were holding hoes. Wooden sticks, these weapons are not needed to participate in religious activities. Since there is a rebellion, I have to suppress it. I am the Tang Dynasty royal family, and it is my responsibility to safeguard the Tang Dynasty.

Second, I gave those warriors a chance. When I showed up, I told them to get away, but none of them would get away. They came at me with knives. Do they have to wait until they cut me to pieces before they wake up? , became a Buddha immediately? I'm not a monk, I don't know how to cut meat to feed eagles. "

A knowing laughter suddenly sounded in the hall, telling them to get out, but if they didn't get out, they would kill me. This reason is very powerful!

Li Ye took a few steps and said coldly: "Zheng Yushi, you are too naive. The reason why I killed more than two hundred people was because they wanted to kill me first. They were too confident. Two hundred people can't deal with one person." Can’t we still deal with the people? They all rushed up desperately, on top of the warehouse, could it be that I grabbed them up?”

Zheng Ang was about to say that you lured them up on purpose, but Li Ye waved his hand, interrupted him, and said categorically: "Zheng Yushi, I tell you this, if I am really a murderous person, five hundred warriors will be able to kill each other." Don’t even think about surviving!”

These words were very arrogant, but everyone believed them to be true. Zheng Ang was speechless. After a while, he snorted, "You are just making excuses. Bloodlust and indiscriminate killing of innocent people have nothing to do with each other!"

Li Ye shook his head, "Let's talk about the indiscriminate killing of innocent people! You just want to accuse me of these four words, so I will simply untie it for you.

The Holy One issued a decree in the third year of Kaiyuan. I have forgotten the original words, but the meaning is that if an illegal organization with more than a hundred warriors encounters strong suppression by the court and refuses to surrender, it can be killed without mercy! "

Zheng Ang's eyes lit up. He finally caught Li Ye's handle, and that was the issue of overstepping his authority.

"General Li, I'm sorry. General Dugu can suppress and kill without mercy, because he was ordered to quell the riots, but you are not. You went there without authorization. You are the governor of Hezhong. You have no power to suppress the illegal warriors in Guanzhong. Even if you didn’t kill innocent people indiscriminately, first of all you overstepped your authority.”

Li Ye dug this trap and was waiting for him!

Li Ye shook his head and said: "You are wrong, I have the power to suppress them!"

Zheng Ang said proudly: "Tell me, what power do you have and why do you do it?"

Li Ye took out something from his arms and flashed it in front of his eyes, "Just this!"

Zheng Ang suddenly opened his mouth wide, as if he was struck by lightning. There was an uproar in the hall. The thing in Li Ye's hand turned out to be an emperor's gold medal!

Li Longji also didn't expect that Li Ye still had a big killer move in his hand, which was his gold medal. With this gold medal, Zheng Ang's impeachment became a joke. Since the gold medal was awarded, he was allowed to kill first and then show off. This is actually the monk Fang Tianzijian. The same effect, plus he had the title of censor, at that moment, what he did actually represented himself.

Li Longji coughed heavily, and the hall immediately fell silent.

Li Longji said slowly: "Regardless of legal principles, moral principles, responsibilities and powers, and the seriousness of the situation, I completely agree with General Li's handling of the situation. I don't think he killed innocent people indiscriminately. Fighting on the battlefield to protect the country of the Tang Dynasty, Zheng Yushi, I do not agree with your impeachment, please take back the impeachment letter!"

Zheng Ang looked pale and bowed: "I obey the order!"

Li Longji also said to the Manchu civil and military officials: "The Yunyang incident was so fierce, but it disappeared in an instant. This is not an accident. This is the contribution of General Li. What makes me even more gratified is that he killed so many warriors and ambitions who helped the tyrants. A man with a strong penis did not harm an innocent peasant, which is extremely commendable, so I want to reward him, General Li!"

Li Ye quickly saluted, "The minister is here!"

Li Longji smiled and said: "Based on your contribution in the battle in the river, I planned to make you the county king, but I thought you were too young. I had to wait a few more years, but now it seems that I can't make you the king. From now on , I officially designate you as the Prince of Gaochang County."

Hundreds of civil and military officials in the main hall cast envious glances. This was a moment of great glory. Li Ye was also moved and knelt down to salute, "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Prince Li Heng's expression was not so good. Only then did he realize that his father's court meeting was not to discuss the Yunyang incident at all, but to prepare for the public canonization of Li Ye. He used some tricks to divert Li Ye, who was originally biased towards him. Ye was won over.

In fact, Li Heng didn't know that his father made Li Ye the county king not to win over Li Ye. His father didn't know that Li Ye was biased towards him.

It's because the emperor Li Longji took the 150,000 yuan given by Li Ye, he took the heavy sum of money donated by his subordinates, and his wife got the gems donated by his subordinates. Throughout the ages, every leader must show something.

To be crowned a king is a saying of the emperor, but there are many things behind it. He is a member of the royal family. First of all, Zongzheng Temple has to be busy for a long time. There are also the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites. They also need to prepare official uniforms, cast seals, and adjust salaries. This time the Ministry of Rites has no Forgetting his mother's title, of course, the Tang Dynasty did not have such a complete imperial conferment system, and it was only formally established in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Before Li Ye was granted the title of Duke of the County, Pei Sanniang did not receive the title of Lady of the County because her husband's official position was low. It was not until Li Ye was granted the title of Prince of the County that Pei Sanniang was officially granted the title of Lady of the County.

Generally, when a minister is granted the title of a county king, he will certainly have to hold a banquet with wine and a banquet for guests to celebrate his promotion.

But Li Ye doesn't have so much red tape, he has more important things to do.

At dusk, Li Ye hurried to his grandfather Li Linfu's house. Li Linfu greeted his grandson with a smile in front of the yard. Li Ye was named the county king, which solved Li Linfu's biggest regret. Originally, his grandson was qualified to be the county king, but he was His selfishness was ruined, and he has been feeling guilty to this day.

Until today, his grandson finally got the belated title of county king. How could Li Linfu not smile?

Li Ye saw Li and went into the house to sit down. He found that his grandfather seemed older than when he first came back.

Li Ye was really conflicted. Should he tell Zhang Jun's story or not?
