Watching the two girls lower their heads and sweep the floor under the guidance of everyone.
Changsun Chong couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, you are really embarrassing the two girls by doing this."
To a certain extent.
Li Chengqian's punishment for Zhai Yuexiu and Ning Ranran was more severe than killing them.
Letting these two girls sweep the floor for ten days is equivalent to letting them be embarrassed for ten days.
Li Chengqian also knew that doing so was excessive.
But after hearing what Changsun Chong said, Li Chengqian was a little unhappy.
He said: "Why, do you feel sorry for them?"
"No, it's not that I feel bad."
"I just feel that you have harmed these two girls."
"After all, losing face is easy for a man. Although he cannot marry a girl from a wealthy family, there are still many girls from a small family."
"At least I won't be unable to get a wife because I lose face."
"But if a woman loses face, it is really like ruining her life."
Changsun Chong said from the side: "Let alone marrying a noble young master from a wealthy family, even if you marry a peasant, no one would be willing to marry you."
It was also through his reminder that Li Chengqian suddenly realized this.
yes.
It seems that I haven't considered this matter at all.
However, if others had reminded him, Li Chengqian might have taken his life back.
But Changsun Chong reminded Li Chengqian that he was a little angry.
Or……
Li Chengqian was a little jealous.
It's obvious that you're the one who's injured, right?
Mingmin himself is the one who was assassinated, right?
However, Changsun Chong actually ignored himself and focused on others.
How could this make him not angry?
Li Chengqian said with a dark face: "Are you afraid that no one will marry them?"
"It's simple."
"When I turn around, I will ask my father to marry them all to you."
"but……"
Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes: "My sister, don't worry about me."
threaten.
The threat of Chiguoguo.
Changsun Chong also had a look of helplessness on his face.
He said: "Your Highness, I am just telling you, you are not like this, are you?"
"Of course, Zhai Yuexiu and Ning Ranran's situation is not that bad either."
"These two girls will be laughed at for a few days at most, and people will forget about it after a while."
After hearing this, Li Chengqian felt slightly better.
He said: "But these few days are enough for them to endure."
Giving them such a punishment, on the other hand, is equivalent to Li Chengqian forgiving them for assassinating him.
What's more, only by punishing them in this way can people know that they have been punished.
At least in the future, it is impossible for Li Shimin to go through this matter and cause trouble to the Zhai family or the Ning family.
Li Chengqian glanced at them one last time, then took Changsun Chong and turned around and walked towards the government office.
As they walked, Changsun Chong said: "Your Highness, the officialdom of Longyou Road has now been cleared."
"The corruption situation everywhere has improved a lot."
"Now, do you want to implement your plan?"
Changsun Chong was naturally asking about the military recruitment plan that Li Chengqian had already proposed to Li Shimin.
"it's time."
"But before that, I want to do something first."
Li Chengqian looked back at Changsun Chong and said, "Send the order and invite veterans from all over Longyou Road who have reached retirement age to come to Liangzhou to attend my banquet during the winter solstice."
Hearing this, Changsun Chong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I understand."
…
The eighth year of Zhenguan, the winter solstice.
Liangzhou, located in the northwest, has already received its first heavy snowfall since the beginning of winter.
This day may not matter to other places, but it is particularly important to Liangzhou soldiers.
Liangzhou soldiers have had a rule since the first day of establishment.
The number of years of service in the military must not exceed ten years. If it exceeds, you must be discharged.
This was the policy originally formulated by Li Shimin for the sake of the private labor force and the people's livelihood.
The day of retirement happens to be the winter solstice.
Therefore, the winter solstice is a farewell day for the old soldiers in Liangzhou.
As the governor of Liangzhou and the person with the highest reputation among Liangzhou soldiers, Li Chengqian had done very poorly before.
Because he has never sent a veteran home.
Before, it was because he didn't want to do it because it would touch some people's bottom line.
But now, he wants to promote a new policy, so he has to give away everything he wants.
Li Chengqian arrived at the city gate early on this day.
All the soldiers who have reached their age have been invited to Liangzhou City by Changsun Chong.
The soldiers guarding the city stood on both sides, quietly looking at the more than two thousand old soldiers standing outside Liangzhou City.
These two thousand people are all going to be discharged from the army.
Among these people, there were those who had fought with Li Shimin in the Unification War.
Some of them followed Li Chengqian to Mobei, Northeast China, and even Goguryeo, where they fought against Japanese dwarves.
But at the same time, this can't help but make people feel sad.
With a ten-year retirement period, more than 10,000 people joined the army in the first place?
But now, the old soldiers of ten years ago, the world-famous Liangzhou Infantry Army, only have more than two thousand people left in front of them.
Ten years after the bloody storm, the once immature boy now has a resolute face.
As humans, if we stay together for a long time, feelings will inevitably develop.
Although Li Chengqian also wanted to take this opportunity to promote his new policy.
But he also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to spend one last night with these old brothers.
Of course, a special day requires a special way to celebrate it.
…
The sky was getting dark, and veterans who were about to retire also entered Zunli Street in twos and threes.
Although Zunli Street is not the central street of Liangzhou City, it is one of the main streets.
But today, all the shops have a tacit agreement to close their doors for the day.
They knew that Li Chengqian would be here to see off the veterans today.
Northwest people are slightly different from ordinary Central Plains people.
Because of its geographical location, wars break out here all year round.
Therefore, those living in the northwest have a stronger sense of family and country than the people in the Central Plains.
They respect the soldiers who fought for them, and even more respect these soldiers who have sweated and sweated for the country and the people for ten years and are about to retire and return home.
Veterans who have served the country for ten years are leaving.
They were also reluctant to give up.
So on this day, the people also organized themselves together to help the boys in the government office move tables, chairs and benches.
A gathering of 2,000 people is no small event. A table of eight people would seat close to 300 tables.
Liangzhou soldiers from top to bottom, even these old soldiers know the rules and prohibitions.
This rule has even become a habit in everyone's mind.
Before Li Chengqian and other officials arrived, no one sat down. They all stood neatly beside the chairs, looking straight ahead, and no one could even be seen moving.
It wasn't until Li Chengqian and his party arrived and heard Li Chengqian talking that they sat down neatly.
Li Chengqian and other officials and generals did not sit at separate tables. There were empty seats for them between the soldiers.
If you can't share joys and sorrows with your brothers, how can you be worthy of being a general of the Liangzhou Army? .
How can a person who cannot take the lead lead the soldiers of Liangzhou?
What's more, they are here to see off the veterans this time.
Once we go, we don’t know when we can meet again.
If we go there, we may never see each other again...
