It turned out that all the veterans felt guilty after being told by Li Chengqian.
But after Li Chengqian said these words, these veterans were not happy.
As the saying goes, proper dress and proper etiquette are also important.
Asking them to take off their clothes in public is simply more humiliating than slapping them in the mouth.
Li Yu on the side couldn't stand it anymore.
Li Yu looked at Li Chengqian with a troubled face and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid this is inappropriate..."
"Nothing wrong."
"If you want your son to live, take off your clothes."
Li Chengqian's words were very firm and beyond doubt.
Some veterans, you look at me, I look at you.
Even though he was reluctant, even though he felt insulted, it was for the lives of the children.
They started to take off their clothes anyway.
Although it is already early spring weather.
But Qinzhou is located in the north, and it is still very cold. After several old soldiers took off their clothes, they were even shivering from the cold.
Li Chengqian looked at everyone one by one.
Li Chengqian first looked at one person and said, "Che Yun!"
"He once played for Yong'an King Li Xiaoji, and joined the team to fight against Lu Chongmao in the second year of Wude."
"Although they were ambushed by Song Jingang and suffered defeat, many people chose to surrender."
"Only you, Che Yun, led a dozen of your brothers to fight their way out of the siege. You suffered six stab wounds and three arrow wounds. You were almost drained of blood."
"After that, you came to my uncle Li's tent and became a horse leader."
"In the subsequent battle to pursue Song Jingang in Queshu Valley, you participated in eight battles in one day and suffered four stab wounds. You even almost died due to lack of physical strength."
Li Chengqian looked at another person and continued: "Chen Tian!"
"Since I joined the army, I have been with my Uncle Li."
"Fall into the camp and get to the camp first. You have been there and participated in dozens of battles, big and small."
"The most famous battle is the Battle of Hulao Pass."
"My father led the army to fight against Dou Jiande at Sishui Pass. He fought four times, and you have experienced it all."
"The most dangerous moment was when I was dragged off my horse by the enemy for more than ten meters, and my left arm was almost cut off with a knife."
After saying this, Li Chengqian looked up and chuckled.
"I am not qualified to manage you, nor am I qualified to educate you."
"Because you are from my father's generation, and you have shed blood for our Tang Dynasty."
"But these people who are my generation, I still hope they can take the right path."
With that said, Li Chengqian turned to the younger generation and said, "Go, count the scars on your father's body, and then think about the sins you yourself have committed, and then you can leave."
Li Chengqian turned around and left without looking back.
Everyone in the place was stunned.
Li Yu also looked straight at Li Chengqian's leaving figure.
After a while, Li Yu came back to his senses.
He slowly turned around, looked at the young people, and shouted loudly: "Why don't you come over and see the scars on your father's body?"
Why can these people make mistakes? Why can you oppress the people? Why can I not be punished after making a mistake?
It's because of the scars on their father's body.
The basis is their father's sacrifice of life and death on the battlefield.
It turns out that their father had worked hard for the peace of the Tang Dynasty.
The veterans who reacted grabbed the ground with their hands, trembled, and burst into tears.
…
Chang'an City.
Within the palace.
"oh?"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this the case?"
"When I first heard about it, I didn't believe it."
Eunuch Zhou said quietly: "At the beginning, those old soldiers already went there with the belief that they would die."
"After all, their sons are in the hands of His Highness, and His Highness also has evidence of their crimes."
"Who knew, His Highness did not punish them, he just asked them to take off their clothes and let their sons count the scars on their father's body."
"Then these people cried like tears."
"What's more, after leaving the house, he started beating his son in the street."
Eunuch Zhou shook his head and said: "It's a wonderful sight, and it's also strange..."
"Nothing to be surprised about."
Li Shimin said quietly: "The Tang Dynasty still remembers them, I still remember them, and even my son still remembers them."
"But how did they do it?"
"Isn't their original intention of resisting the Sui Dynasty so that they can live a good life and not be bullied?"
"But if you think about it carefully, their children have done such unnatural things one after another. How is this different from the violent Sui Dynasty in the past?"
Li Shimin sighed softly and said, "Speaking of which, they really disappointed me."
The reason why he left behind these meritorious deeds in the first place was to set an example for the world.
The founding emperor could still create a prosperous age without killing his meritorious deeds.
In one respect, he did.
Today's Tang Dynasty has indeed become a prosperous age under his leadership.
But, on the other hand, he failed again.
The shortcomings of heroism and chaos in the country have begun to become apparent.
These gangsters, relying on their former power, do evil and escape punishment.
This is obviously a great disadvantage to the imperial court in managing the world.
However, Li Chengqian's actions made him feel very pleased.
Originally, he thought that Li Chengqian would go on a killing spree when he got there.
However, in the end, this was the only result.
Li Shimin shook his head and chuckled: "My son has finally grown up and finally knows how to conquer the world with his royal way."
Kingly way?
Is this the royal way?
Eunuch Zhou curled his lips secretly.
However, His Royal Highness did indeed kill people.
The whole family of Zhai Wuzhong was killed by Li Chengqian.
There are still people outside suing Li Chengqian today, but Li Shimin just ignored them.
But thinking about it carefully, Li Shimin did have a reason to ignore him.
You, Zhai Wuzhong, sent people to assassinate my son.
My son fought back and you, Zhai Wuzhong, killed me. How dare your special mother come to complain?
What's the point of this special thing?
Do you think Li Shimin is easy to bully?
"Keep staring."
"If anything happens, report it to me as soon as possible."
Li Shimin paused briefly and said, "Also, I have been feeling a little uneasy these past few days, and I feel like something is about to happen."
"You can go to the Wuhan Academy later."
"Just say it was me who told me to call back all the instructors who belong to Qianzi Camp and ask them to go to Qinzhou immediately."
Those in Qinzhou are not good friends, they all went through blood and fire with Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was also really worried that these guys would do the same stupid thing as the guys in Yangzhou.
Therefore, he had to make some preparations for his son in advance.
Eunuch Zhou was obviously stunned.
But he didn't say much and simply handed it over.
Although Li Shimin did not let Li Chengqian take anyone there.
But this was just to train him. If something really happened, Li Shimin would still have to take care of it.
After Eunuch Zhou left.
Li Shimin also stood up slowly.
He took a step forward and walked to the entrance of the Manna Hall, looking up at the blue sky.
The chirping of birds and the warmth of spring made him feel refreshed.
Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and said, "When he comes back from Qinzhou, I will go out and play for half a year before coming back. It's not too much..."
