Although the emperor stated that he interfered with the Ministry of War's examination of Li Zhen and only came to pay tribute to him as a robber, everyone understood that the significance was very different. Even if Li Zhen was deprived of the title behind him, it was enough to comfort his family and make the army feel relieved. After all, not everyone can get the emperor's personal tribute, and he risked a huge risk to travel hundreds of miles across the enemy formation.

"Your Majesty, eat something!" After the worship, the emperor asked the generals who accompanied the sacrifice to disperse, leaving only a few master generals stationed in Tanzhou to accompany the guards. Liu Wenjun knew that the emperor was coming from afar, so before Shui Mi came in, he came to worship and asked him to sit down in the outer hall and ask.

"No need, I can't eat it, you can do it yourself!" Zhao Bing waved his hand.

"Your Majesty should use it. If Li Zhen knows that Your Majesty has hurt his body, he will be uneasy. And now in the army and in wartime, there is no need to stick to the rules." Liu Wenjun advised again.

He understood that according to the funeral of the Song Dynasty, starting from the change of clothes, the bereaved family did not eat, to express their condolences. The time for not eating depends on the closeness and distantness of the relationship with the deceased. "The sons did not eat for three days; they did not eat for three days; they did not eat for three days; they did not eat for three days; they did not eat for three months." The emperor did not eat for food because he intended to regard Li Zhen as a relative.

Of course, "not eating" is nothing more than a form of grief by the relatives of the deceased. In fact, relatives and neighbors often send porridge to persuade them to eat a little, and sometimes the elders will force them to eat a little food. Therefore, "not eating" does not mean completely not eating, but these rules can be ignored in wartime. After all, if you don't eat, you can't fight.

"I really can't eat it, just take some tea!" Zhao Bing shook his head. Liu Wenjun was over thirty when he entered the General Manager's Mansion, and now he is nearly 60 years old. These veterans also regard him as their nephews. Thinking that if he couldn't get in, he would be uneasy, so he forced a smile.

"Yes, I will go and prepare!" Liu Wenjun knew that the emperor had an idea since childhood. If the matter he believed would not change easily, he sighed.

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die, I failed to protect Li Zhen!" At this time, Luo Datong walked to the emperor and suddenly knelt down on his knees and cried.

"Datong, what are you doing? Don't disturb Your Majesty!" Qi's actions shocked everyone. This was an extremely rude behavior. Qian Lin, the commander of the Second Cavalry Division, was standing next to him, quickly stepped forward to pull him up.

"Datong has been holding it in for a long time, let him cry!" Yan Feng, the commander of the 12th Army, dissuaded.

"Oh..." Qian Lin saw that His Majesty still looked at his face without saying anything to comfort him, but just looked at his thin face with a steady look.

He, Luo Datong and Li Zhen were both from the old camp of the General's Mansion, and they joined the guard camp as the emperor's guards. Later, they all expanded the troops and all entered the imperial guards to perform their duties. Although they went their separate ways, the friendship between them, which was born and died together was not weakened because of this. When the inner court and the outer court separated, Li Zhen stepped down as the commander of the Second Cavalry Division and went to the Expeditionary Force, and took over as the commander of the Second Cavalry Division by himself.

This time Li Zhen's death was the most sad, but Luo Datong did not dare to express excessive sadness, so as not to affect the morale of the army. He could only suppress his emotions and dispatch the troops, re-arrange the defense line, and block the enemy's offensive. Even after receiving reinforcements, he did not dare to relax at all, coordinated the various units to fight and retreat, and carried out the task of luring the enemy in the camp, creating conditions for seizing Juyong Pass.

However, due to the failure of the war, many people in the army were puzzled and they couldn't help but feel resentful towards him. The Second Cavalry Division who came to reinforce was Li Zhen's old subordinate, and even blamed his death on Luo Datong, sarcastic, criticized and even abused him in person.

Later, the Ministry of War's investigation into Li Zhen's death was very unfavorable. Not only might it not be granted the imperial seal, but it might also have to bear responsibility for the failure of the war. It also led to rumors in the army that Luo Datong was scapegoating and placing the responsibility for the defeat on the dead, and was a ruthless and unrighteous person.

Although everyone who knew the inside story understood Luo Datong's situation very well and made a statement to defend him, it still brought great pressure to him. Now the emperor's arrival and his words in the hall took the consequences of his defeat on himself, which was equivalent to reprimanding Li Zhen and rectifying Luo Datong's reputation. It also instantly released the grievances that had been held back for many days, and then he made a loss of compulsory action.

"You deserve to die!" Luo Datong cried for a long time before gradually stopping his crying. However, Zhao Bing picked up the tea bowl and drank a sip of tea and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty..." All the generals in the hall were shocked when they heard this, thinking that the emperor wanted to kill him to serve as a warning to others, and they all stood up and bowed to seek mercy.

"Shut up!" Zhao Bing raised his hand and stopped everyone and said.

"Li Zhen died in battle, and his subordinates cannot escape his responsibility. He is willing to die on the battlefield. I beg Your Majesty not to let his subordinates die in the execution ground." Luo Datong looked up at the angry emperor and asked.

"Hmph, you deserve to die even more!" Zhao Bing kicked him over, stood up and pointed at him and said angrily.

"Your Majesty calms down, I am not willing to die. Don't hurt your body!" The emperor kicked him very hard, but Luo Datong quickly got up and knelt in front of the emperor again and said.

"Get up!" Zhao Bing looked at him calmly for a while before he said with fatigue in his words.

"I dare not, please ask Your Majesty to deal with it, and there is no complaints when I die!" Luo Datong kowtowed.

"Then let it go!" Zhao Bing said lightly, "Young Yeshua, the Expeditionary Army was composed of the Fourth Brigade of the Imperial Front Guards, the Fifth Brigade and the Imperial Front Naval Army. You have been with the Imperial Front Guards for many years, so you should know how powerful the combat power?"

"Report to Your Majesty, although the Fourth Brigade and the Fifth Brigade have formed a late army, their combat power is no less than that of the central tribes of our Song Dynasty army, and they can be regarded as the best!" Luo Datong replied.

"Since that's the case, what did you do with such a strong army in just a few years?" Zhao Bing slapped the table and said angrily.

"Your Majesty's words are more erect. The expeditionary army has never been defeated in the battle against the West. It has promoted the prestige of the Song Dynasty overseas. All foreign countries surrendered, and the pirates all avoided it when they heard the news. And this landing battle, capturing Yongding Prefecture, and occupying Tanzhou, they also made great contributions!" Yan Feng defended him.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates are incompetent and have let your Majesty down. Please punish him!" Liu Wenjun, as the chief officer of the Expeditionary Army, was furious when he saw that his Majesty was so angry that he quickly apologized.

"Although you are the chief official, you have been in the navy for a long time and are not good at land warfare. Even if you have any, you are not as good as him!" Zhao Bingxu helped Liu Wenjun up and said in a gentle voice.

He turned to Yan Feng and said, "My army of Song Dynasty, whether it is the imperial guards or the imperial guards, have been prepared but not fighting in recent years. However, the expeditionary army has raised troops for a thousand days and used troops for thousands of days. He is always prepared and fought outside for many years. He should be elite troops in a hundred battles, and can stand proudly and overwhelm the heroes when they are surrounded by enemies. But I feel deeply embarrassed by their defeat in the battle!"

"My subordinates disappointed Your Majesty!" Liu Wenjun and Luo Datong and other expeditionary soldiers in the hall all lowered their heads.

"I see that you thought you had defeated those small countries and defeated the wild tribes that were still in the era of slash-and-burn farming, and you were arrogant and thought that the world was invincible!" Zhao Bing scolded, "When you landed, most of the enemies in western Liaoning had entered Dadu, and only some old, weak and remnants were left in Yongping Prefecture. You took advantage of Tanzhou without any obstacles. Then you looked down on the Mongol Yuan and thought that they were powerless to fight again, so you relaxed your vigilance and were ridiculed by the enemy, and you couldn't rub your hands. I can't help but wonder how you survived overseas!"

"In addition, although the troops of the enemy and us are very different, they are not at an outrageous level, especially when you have the advantage of the initiative and geographical advantage. As long as you make reasonable use of the terrain and allocate troops, you can completely defend the passage and kill and damage the enemy, so that they can give up this idea. But you are greedy for great merit and seek great power, and do not consider your own strength and situation, and distribute the troops on the long line of defense. Not only do you fail to defend the defense line, but you are also defeated one by one, causing major casualties."

"After I received the report of the failure of the war in Tanzhou, I couldn't believe that you were still the Luo Datong who defended Changshu with thousands of troops alone, leaving Yuxi Timur's 200,000 troops helpless and forced him to take a detour? You disappointed me so much!"

"I should die, I should die..." Although His Majesty's reprimand was like an arrow piercing his heart, it was reasonable, which made Luo Datong feel ashamed and cried with his head.

"In private, I feel even more disappointed with you!" Zhao Bing sneered, "I heard that after the defeat in the war, you were depressed and depressed, and you still wanted to seek short-sighted views like a woman!"

"Your Majesty has heard of this..." Old Luo Datong blushed and murmured with tears on his nose and tears.

"What you did has spread throughout the army. Do I know it's strange?" Zhao Bing sneered, "It's all over the place after death, but have you ever thought about your wife and children? How do they live in the future?"

"Your Majesty is the most nostalgic love. Naturally, my subordinates will not turn a blind eye after their death. They will definitely be properly placed and taken care of!" Luo Datong looked up at Your Majesty and said softly.

“当然,朕一定会好好的照顾他们,重新给你家夫人另配一门亲事,让她改嫁他人.”赵昺大声道,“自此以后你的府邸让他人住,钱财人他人花；儿子改姓继承他人香火,叫他人爹,让别人揍；媳妇儿吗?自然也要任他人……”

"Your Majesty, I don't want to die!" Luo Datong suddenly stood up and waved his hands repeatedly before the emperor finished speaking.

"Did you say you don't want to die, but you won't die?" Zhao Bing snorted.

"Your Majesty, I know my mistake!" Luo Datong said with deep politeness, "If you want to live up to Your Majesty's expectations and revitalize your military power, you will definitely avenge your previous shame and avenge Li Zhen. And you must live well, take good care of Li Zhen's widow and children, and live up to our brotherly love and friendship. I beg your Majesty to give me another chance!" After saying that, he winked everyone and signaled them to plead for him.

"You are such a slut. You should slaughter it with one knife, so as not to lose the reputation of the brothers of the old camp of the General Mansion and the reputation of the imperial guards!" Zhao Bing laughed and cried when he saw his appearance.

"Your Majesty also asks you to give this slut a chance to make a contribution. If you lose again, you will kill him with one knife!" Everyone was relieved when they heard this, and Yan Feng stepped forward and said solemnly.

"Yes, yes, we are willing to testify!" Liu Wenjun stroked his beard and said.

"I, Luo Datong, swore in front of Li Zhenling, and he would kill the enemy commander to pay tribute to the heroes of the sacrificed army. If he violated his oath, he would be punished by heaven and earth!" Luo Datong turned around and swore in front of Li Zhenling.

"See the general to the death and kill the enemy commander to comfort the heroes!" The generals of the expeditionary army shouted in unison behind...
