Chapter 64 The military attachés were confused
what?
what! ?

What is this operation?

Except for Changsun Wuji, everyone was confused.

Dai-Duke of Chen.

Is there such a way?

You, Wei Zheng, compiled this title for the sake of fame, right?

However, the word "Dai" is too eye-catching among all the dukes.

You know, Hou Junji had the merit of destroying a country, but in the end, because of a small matter, his merit was lost and his title was reduced to "Dai".

Although it’s not lost, what’s the difference between it and being lost?

I'm afraid there is no more miserable hero who destroyed a country than this.

It would be better if this country did not perish.

"Wei Zheng, how can you say such a thing?"

"Deprived and not deprived."

Li Er laughed angrily, "Do you think the imperial court is a place for children to play?"

Wei Zheng remained calm and unhurried. He said, "Depriving Hou Junji of his title of Duke is a punishment, and continuing to temporarily take over the title of Duke is because he is a meritorious official."

"He is a meritorious official. Your Majesty, please give him a chance to reform."

"Your Majesty can give him three years. As long as he does not commit any crime, behaves himself, or makes new contributions within these three years, the title of acting can be cancelled and his title of Duke can be restored."

"At the same time, we must also give him a serious court warning and spread it throughout the army so that all officers and soldiers know that he will not be allowed any promotion within five years."

"Give him a warning from the imperial court, keep the record on file, and never delete it."

This is unheard of and sounds ridiculous.

The ministers discovered that His Majesty miraculously did not refute it immediately.

Instead, he fell into deep thought.

"Um……."

"Wei Zheng, please continue."

Li Er said.

Wei Zheng said: "From Hou Junji down, all the officers who committed the crime must hand over all the stolen goods and pay fines according to the specific circumstances. They will all be recorded as serious faults once and recorded in the case. They will be temporarily retained in the army to observe their future behavior. If they commit the crime again, they will be punished for the old fault and the new crime."

"For two years, even if you have made contributions, you will not be allowed any promotion."

"Inform the entire army, express the court's attitude, demonstrate the emperor's majesty, and alert the entire army."

Li Er twirled his beard with one hand and tapped the armrest with the other, seeming to be lost in thought.

Obviously.

He was tempted by Wei Zheng's proposal.

broken!

The military officers' hearts skipped a beat.

If Wei Zheng's proposal is implemented, wouldn't this be directed against them?

The stolen goods have to be handed over, and the fines don't matter.

But your subsequent record was kept, you were banned from promotion for two years, and the entire army was informed. Isn’t that a bit too much?
Everyone has to save face.

"His Majesty!"

At this moment, without waiting for Li Er to reply, Changsun Wuji raised his tablet, stood up and said, "Looking at the Hou Junji incident."

"I believe we must learn from this and try to prevent it from happening again."

Li Er just didn't know how to respond to Wei Zheng. When he heard Zhangsun Wuji say this, he asked, "What do you think?"

Changsun Wuji said: "I think that this kind of looting of property in the army, like banditry, is intolerable."

"But the fault lies not with the officers and soldiers, but with the court and the officials in the court."

The ministers: “???”

Changsun Wuji, do you want to think carefully about what you said?

What do you mean the fault is all ours?
Aren't you one yourself?
Are you right?

You are the one who supports the prince, why are you going crazy and even scolding yourself?

However, what Changsun Wuji said seemed to be a refutation of Wei Zheng.

Interesting.

They are the prince's men, why did they start the rebellion first?
"Where do you start talking about this?"

Li Er frowned, feeling a little dizzy. Wei Zheng's words still made him unable to comprehend, and Changsun Wuji came again.

This is nothing.

How come the fault lies with the court?

The imperial court belongs to him, doesn't that mean he is also wrong?

"Your Majesty, the military system of the Tang Dynasty is the Fubing system."

"On weekdays, they are farmers, and in wartime they are soldiers."

Changsun Wuji said: "Most of them only know how to fight and are used to blindly following others. They don't know the fear of military law, which is inevitable."

"But the court did not teach the soldiers to understand the meaning of military law and what they can and cannot do." "They only know that if they fight a war, they will get military merit and can also rob money."

"If we can make the soldiers realize that military law is ruthless and there is no law that does not punish the masses."

"Will they restrain themselves? Will they be in awe?"

“This kind of incident may not happen again.”

He paused and said, "So, the soldiers made mistakes because our court did not do a good job."

"Just now, Duke Zheng went a little too far."

"To punish without teaching is cruelty."

"Many soldiers don't even understand the big principles, so it's wrong to punish them for that."

Ok?
Everyone present was shocked.

what happened.

Did Zhangsun Wuji confront Wei Zheng?

The military officers looked at Changsun Wuji and nodded.

that's right.

To punish without teaching is cruelty.

A person who does not distinguish right from wrong and generalizes everything.

This is not advisable.

Changsun Wuji said: "We cannot blame the officers and soldiers for the mistakes of the court."

Ah, yes, yes.

Duke Zhao is right.

How can we blame the soldiers? The court was also wrong.

Chang Sun Wuji changed the subject and said excitedly:
"Therefore, I believe that a new position should be created in the army. For every hundred men, one person should be appointed who can read and write, is familiar with military law, has a deep understanding of justice, and has the court at heart. This person should be responsible for teaching the officers and soldiers so that they can understand why they should abide by military discipline as officers and soldiers."

"If you do it again in the future, there will be no reason to forgive you."

As soon as these words came out.

It was like a bolt from the blue.

The explosion shocked all the military officers and left them stunned.

What do you mean by confronting Wei Zheng?

It was these two old guys who were running towards them.

One thing after another, they are the ones that are linked together.

It’s his mother’s fault!

Li Er also came to his senses and realized that Wei Zheng and Zhangsun Wuji were attacking the military generals with heavy blows.

"What do you think?"

He did not comment and turned to look at Li Jing and the others.

"His Majesty!"

Li Jing made a prompt decision, stepped forward and shouted: "What Duke Zhao said is untenable."

"There are military judges in the army who read out military discipline and explain it to the soldiers, which can also have a deterrent effect."

"Wouldn't it be superfluous to create another position?"

He got it.

Finally I know what's wrong.

Is the prince going after Hou Junji?

He came here for the military attachés.

That day, the prince was merely using Hou Junji's incident as a pretext to pave the way for today's court meeting.

How could the prince be so thoughtful?

"His Majesty."

Chang Sun Wuji said:
"This is different from the military judge. The purpose of adding this military position is to guide the thinking of soldiers and improve their ideological awareness."

"It does not conflict with what the military judge is responsible for."

These words were told to him by the prince.

He relayed it in full.

"As long as the soldiers have enough ideological awareness, they will naturally have concerns and self-restraint and will not easily violate military discipline."

Zhang Sun Wuji gritted his teeth and said, "Therefore, this military position is particularly prominent and important, and must be given greater power. I think its status should be equal to that of a general."

"fart!"

Cheng Zhijie started cursing on the spot, his tough character completely unleashed.

"Equivalent to the commander-in-chief? Why don't you just say it? Why don't you just fight together?"

"What else do you want us to do?"
