Chapter 2394: Beheaded
The palace soldiers did not enter the camp, but waited outside the camp, ready to provide support at any time.
The protection work around the central military tent was taken over by the guard battalion of Prince Ji's Palace.
Only after everything was arranged did Li Shen get off the carriage.
This time, Li Shen no longer had his hair loose, but tied it into a bun and wore a royal crown.
She was wearing a white cloak with purple edges, and still holding the string of gray beads in her hand.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, please."
Ashina She'er bowed and gave up his seat.
Li Shen was not polite and took the lead in entering the tent. As soon as he entered, the heat hit him in the face, and there was a large brazier in the middle.
Li Shen was asked to sit in the first seat. There was a carpet on the ground. Li Shen frowned. He had to sit on the ground.
But Li Shen doesn't like sitting on the ground because it's too cold and he'll get diarrhea easily.
Fortunately, Shitou followed with a folding chair in his hand. He opened it behind Li Shen and put a cotton cushion on it.
Li Shen then sat down, and when the others saw Li Shen sitting down, they also sat on the carpet.
The so-called carpet is actually animal fur.
After sitting down, Li Shen spoke first:
“I came here today to see all the warriors. I already know about the Western Expedition. It’s very good.
On behalf of His Majesty, I congratulate you all on your triumphant return."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Prince Ji." Everyone expressed their gratitude.
Everyone knew the purpose of King Ji's visit today, and they couldn't help but look in the direction of Yaoluoge Vijia.
But Li Shen was not in a hurry, and started talking about other things.
What were the casualties? How many prisoners were taken? Finally, Li Shen talked about the spoils.
"General Ashina, I heard that the soldiers have obtained a lot of spoils. If any of the soldiers want to pay back, I can buy them out.
Don't worry, the price I give you will definitely be higher than the market price.
If it is really the best, this king will never be stingy.
And if you sell it to me, at least I won't cheat you."
Glancing at everyone, Li Shen said with a smile.
The profits from purchasing spoils here are at least half.
If they were to take it back and sell it, it would actually be the same as what Li Shen bought it, and the price might even be lower.
Speculation is a tactic used by businessmen.
"Go home, Your Highness, it would be great if that were the case. We are all rough people and don't understand the ways of business.
I don't even know if what I have is worth anything.
If the prince is able to purchase it, I believe there will be many people willing to sell it."
Ashina She'er had a happy smile on his face, but it was not known whether it was true or not.
"Well, I will send a shopkeeper over tomorrow so you can inform the soldiers.
However, this matter must be entirely voluntary and cannot be forced.
This king will only be here for three days. After three days, even if someone wants to sell it to me, I will not buy it."
Li Shen nodded. This was what he suddenly thought of. He had so many copper coins, and it would be too troublesome to transport them back. It would be better to buy some treasures.
"Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Ji, we will never force them."
Xue Wanbei echoed from the side.
"By the way, I wonder how much spoils you have captured. Have you disobeyed military orders and plundered the people's wealth?
Don't forget, the prince is also the commander-in-chief of the Kunqiu Road Army, and he holds the position of military commander."
Li Shen didn't show any emotion and spoke kindly.
"Your Highness, Prince Ji, how dare we disobey military orders? These were all left behind by the rebels."
Ashina She'er's expression was a little unnatural at this time. Prince Ji was talking about Yaoluoge Pijia.
Sure enough, Li Shen asked in surprise:
"Oh? Is that so? I heard someone was harassing the people and looting their wealth in Yanqi City.
Not only that, he even dared to kill people.
I would like to ask, are you soldiers or bandits?"
"Well...Your Highness Prince Ji may have misunderstood." Yang Hongli wanted his elder brother to talk remotely.
"Is it a misunderstanding? Is plundering my money also a misunderstanding? Huh?" Li Shen's tone gradually became heavier, and he finally asked.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, this is all my fault and has nothing to do with anyone else.
I am here to apologize to His Royal Highness Prince Ji and hope that His Royal Highness will forgive me."
Yaoluoge Pijia stood up and bowed to Li Shen, looking very reluctant.
"Haha, so it was you who did it." Li Shen laughed at first, then his expression changed and he asked gloomily:
"It was you who gave the order to kill and rob people?"
"Yes, it's me." Yaoluoge Viga was also a bachelor, so he admitted it directly.
Everyone immediately shook their heads. It would be extremely difficult to get King Ji's forgiveness with such an attitude.
He didn't hear a word of what everyone said to him just now.
"Hahahaha, you're so brave that you even dare to kill my people. It seems that you really don't take my Tang Dynasty seriously.
You are just the leader of a small Uighur tribe. I am very curious, who gave you such courage?
Li Shen was so angry that he laughed. He thought Yaoluoge Pijia would make some excuses, such as saying that he was not aware of the situation and his subordinates acted on their own.
I didn't expect him to admit it directly.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, please calm down." Ashina She'er quickly stood up to smooth things over. He could see that Prince Ji was already angry.
Is Yaoluoge Pijia planning to confront Prince Ji head-on? He won't even give him a break.
He turned to look at Yaoluoge Vijia and sternly rebuked him:
"Ya Luoge, Pijia, you are so brave! Come quickly and apologize to His Highness Prince Ji."
Then Ashina She'er bowed to Prince Ji and said:
"Your Highness, Prince Ji, Yaoluoge Pijia has never left the tribe and does not know the rules. Please forgive him for his youth and ignorance."
"Young and ignorant? What a phrase! He's several years older than me, how can he be called young and ignorant?"
Li Shen asked back, feeling a little angry.
After being scolded by Ashina She'er, Yaoluoge Pijia came closer and bowed to Li Shen:
"Your Highness Prince Ji, please forgive me. I did something wrong. Please forgive me, Your Highness Prince Ji."
But when he apologized, his tone didn't sound apologetic at all.
This made Li Shen frown.
“Since you know you are wrong, then you should be dealt with according to military regulations. Killing people, stealing treasures, disturbing the people, and ignoring military regulations.
According to the law... he should be beheaded!!" Li Shen's last two words landed loudly, and the tent instantly became quiet.
They didn't expect that King Ji really wanted to kill Yaoluoge Pijia. Didn't he think about the consequences?
"Your Highness, Prince Ji, although Yaoluoge Pijia is guilty, please consider that this is a first-time offender and give him a chance."
Qibi Heli stood up and bowed to plead for mercy.
"Yes, Your Highness Prince Ji, Xiaguan begs Your Highness Prince Ji to give a lighter punishment." Ashina She'er reacted and quickly followed suit to plead for mercy.
"Please have mercy, Your Highness Prince Ji."
"Please have mercy, Your Highness Prince Ji."
In an instant, all the barbarian leaders stood up and saluted Li Shen.
Among them were some generals from the Tang Dynasty.
