C342 Cold as Ice

"I beg you, commander, to uphold the law and kill Lee Zhi!"

Su Wu, Su Lin, and the others knelt down and faced Su Lia, the famous general of their generation, and said in a deep voice.

"Commander, please kill Lee Zhi with the military law!"

"Commander, please follow the law of the Righteous Army and kill Lee Zhi!"

"I beg you, commander, to kill Lee Zhi under the military law!"

...

Outside the tent, tens of thousands of soldiers were kneeling on the ground. Their upper bodies were naked, revealing scars that would make one's scalp tingle as they spoke in a deep voice.

"Do you think I don't want to? Do you all think that I don't want to kill Crown Prince Lee Zhi immediately? But we are the subjects, and they are the Monarch! How can we do such a thing?!" Su Lia said in frustration.

No one hated Lee Zhi more than him. On one hand, he was his wife, and on the other hand, he was his most beloved daughter. Both of them had been killed by Lee Zhi. How could he not feel sad?

"Father, a muddle-headed man can't do anything. Why can't we go against him?" Su Lin said, full of hot blood when he heard that.

"Bastard! Don't say that about the current Your Majesty!" Su Lia scolded.

"Father, what time is it now? How is Your Majesty? If it wasn't for the fact that my son is still alive, I would have run to your camp. I'm afraid my father still doesn't know about this! Don't tell me you didn't realize that other than some decrees, nothing else in the city could be passed on! " Su Lin asked.

"You mean?"

"That's right! The Your Majesty today is the one we support, to protect his son! He gave up on you, destroyed our family, and sealed off the news of the entire capital! We will make you fight for him obediently!" Su Lin said angrily.

"That's... impossible! Lin Er, don't talk nonsense!" Su Lia scolded.

"Father, what Second Brother said is correct! This Li Tang is muddle-headed and unconventional. He kills loyal people! What's the point of fighting this war? If a cunning rabbit dies, the dog will be cooked! Lee Zhi had done such a thing. What?" Su Wu said in a deep voice.

"Wu'er! Stop talking! I will not rebel. Today, I will return to the capital to meet Your Majesty. I would like to see how Lee Zhi will give me an explanation!" Su Lia stood up, as if he had made an important decision!

"Father, no!"

"Father, you must not take any risks!"

Hearing Su Lia's words, Su Lin and Su Wu stood up at the same time to stop him.

"I have made up my mind. Don't speak anymore." Su Lia stood up, waved his hand, and staggered back to his seat.

"Commander, please think about it."

"Please think twice, commander!"

"Please think twice, marshal!"

...

Behind them, all the generals tried to persuade Su Lia. However, Su Lia was a person who would not change his mind easily. He changed into his clothes and ran towards Luoyang, the capital city of Tang Country, along with a few guards.

Along the way, his mood was very heavy. He wanted to go back and see his wife and daughter's grave.

Six hours later, Su Lia arrived at Luoyang City.

"General Su!"

"Look, General Su is back!"

"Poor General Su, with his great reputation, he actually ended up like this!"

"The Prince of Sins, poor General Su!"

"Why did General Su come back? If it was me, I would just wave my troops and charge back!"

...

When Su Lia led the light guards into Luoyang City, the people saw him and started discussing him.

Su Lia heard them, but on the surface, he pretended not to know anything. His face was now terrifyingly gloomy. Those familiar with him knew that Su Lia was on the verge of exploding.

When Su Lia heard this, he used both of his legs to push forward. The horse under him immediately sped up and ran towards the palace of Tang Country in Luoyang.

Luoyang City! In the Imperial Court!

On the dragon throne sat the emperor of Tang Country, Lee Heng. He wore a flat imperial crown on his head, and his expression was deep. His eyes were exceptionally bright, staring at the Imperial Court below, producing an innate deterrent.

The hundreds of civil and military officials were on both sides of the Imperial Court, and the two old officials in the lead were also looking at the two in the middle.

One of them was Su Lia, and his expression was cold as he respectfully gave the decree.

The other was the Crown Prince, who had been running around in the city not long ago. Lee Zhi! However, at this moment, all the hair on Lee Zhi's body stood on end, and he glared at Su Lia. Perhaps it was because he had just slaughtered Su Lia's family, but he still felt a little scared in his heart.

"Emperor, this official has returned this time. May Your Majesty give me an explanation?" Su Lia bowed and said to King Tang, Lee Heng.

"Beloved minister, under such circumstances, you are still rushing back. May I know what is the matter?" King Tang and Lee Heng pretended not to know anything.

"Reporting to the Emperor, I do not know what crime this official committed. The Crown Prince actually brought along his lackeys to kill this official's family!" Su Lia said with some anger. Although his heart was filled with killing intent, he knew that this was the Imperial Court and he could not be rude.

"Crown Prince, is there really such a thing?" Lee Heng ignored Su Lia's words and looked at Lee Zhi.

Lee Zhi instantly panicked. He quickly denied it and said, "Royal Father, this son has been staying in the palace all this time, and has never left. When did he kill General Su's family? I am not a fool. General Su led the troops to attack. Why would he cause trouble at this critical moment? It was obviously a thief who broke into General Su's residence. Kill him and then burn down the mansion! "

" Crown Prince, are you certain that you have been staying in the palace all this time and have not left? " Su Lia stared at Lee Zhi as if he could see through him.

"That's right, I have been waiting for you all this time!" Lee Zhi said firmly.

"Since the Crown Prince said that he has never been out, then why did someone see the Crown Prince wreaking havoc in Xianyang City? Injuring the common people! Since the Crown Prince never went out, why did he know that the thief killed the entire Su Residence first? Then he set the fire. The Crown Prince's ranking in the Eastern Palace is truly amazing. He hasn't ascended the throne yet. His eyes were all over the Tang Country, and he even knew the details. Su Lia's string of questions instantly rendered Lee Zhi speechless. In the temple hall... Lee Heng looked at Lee Zhi with a disappointed look. He had repeatedly warned Lee Zhi before the last court session. He did not want to say too much, but he still had something on him!

"Su Lia, don't forget who is the master! How dare you speak to this Crown Prince like this! And even frame me!" Lee Zhi took the opportunity to express his anger.

"How dare you! A bunch of unruly people! Kill them all! They are the men of my Lee family! So what if I kill them all?! Offending my superiors and wanting to assassinate me, I am defending myself! " Lee Zhi jumped up in anger.

Su Lia looked at him coldly, "Crown Prince, is there any point in quibbling now? You are now a soldier of the two million soldiers of the Great Tang. You should be responsible for what you have done wrong!"

"You... you are courting death!" Lee Zhi flew into a rage out of humiliation and was about to attack.

"Impudent!" King Tang and Lee Heng shouted coldly.

Lee Zhi's figure paused and turned to look at the Emperor.

"Royal Father, it's him, Su Lia, who wants to kill me. I know. Royal Father set up a heavy sentence as an army, but that was after I got into trouble. After Royal Father's Imperial Decree was passed down, I have been staying in the prefecture. Royal Father! " Lee Zhi shouted anxiously.

At this moment, an official opened his mouth and said," Emperor, the Crown Prince is still young and has yet to develop his wisdom. He was bewitched by his subordinates. Just for the sake of repenting, he shall punish the head of the evil and punish his subordinates. Behead him to the public. As for the Crown Prince, he shall be stripped of his title and sent to the Imperial Prison to serve as a warning to others!"

Lee Zhi looked over and frowned slightly. However, he knew that the minister was doing this to protect him and did not reject it.

"This official agrees!"

"This official agrees!"

...

For a moment, a large number of ministers pleaded for the Crown Prince. Su Lia saw all of this, but his heart had already turned cold.
