Chapter 40 Father, son, monarch and ministers do not know each other
After that drunken meal, King Wei's people never found trouble with Youyi Mansion again. Everyone didn't know what tricks Du Jing used.
But what they know is that the general and Cheng Chubi often disappear, and they disappear for four or five days at a time. No one knows what they are doing.
Of course, they don't care. Anyway, this job is comfortable, why bother with so much!
It was not until July of the twelfth year of Zhenguan that a report of the Tubo invasion of Songzhou reached Chang'an. Du Jing and Cheng Chubi became more honest and stayed at the government office every day, waiting for the court's order to let them go to war.
In the past few days, Du Jing went to 13 consecutive invitations to challenge this chapter, and finally received the order to summon him. Before going out, he specifically ordered Cheng Chubi to be on standby with a hundred fine cavalry.
In front of the Chengqing Hall, Wang De, the chief chamberlain, specially reminded Du Jing about the etiquette of an audience before leading him in.
But Du Jing was really not in the mood to argue with him, so she responded, held her head high and stepped in. This made Wang De confused, and he couldn't help thinking in his heart: This little general is too rash!
At this time, in the Chengqing Hall, in addition to the emperor, there were Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji's nephew. Du Jing also lifted up his hem and gave a standard courtesy to a monarch.
After sighing and putting down the chapter, Li Shimin fell heavily on the case and said angrily: "What on earth are you going to do?"
Tubo used the Tang Dynasty's refusal to grant marriage as an excuse to send troops to invade. Commander Han Weiqing went out to fight the bandits and set up an ambush in Gansong Ridge, but was defeated by the enemy. In this battle, more than 1,800 soldiers were lost.
Moreover, after Songtsen Gampo invaded Songzhou, he did not go deep immediately. Instead, he continued to send envoys to ask for marriage, but his attitude became tougher, saying: If the princess doesn't come, I will go deeper.
These days, the DPRK and China have been discussing "peace and war". This morning, the DPRK just set the tone, fight! The commander of the expedition has not yet been decided, and Du Jing's petition for war has come again.
In response to Tibet's forced marriage, a poem was included in the memorial: The flag was lowered on Chang'an City, and I learned about it in the palace. The imperial troops from the north and the south were all disarmed, and not a single man was left.
"The poem you wrote is so exciting! I have been on the throne for so many years and I have seen many beautiful articles, but none of them are as ugly as what you wrote!"
"Am I, in your eyes, the most weak and incompetent father in the world?"
Du Jing muttered in a low voice: "If you don't write something ugly, I can get in!"
"What did you say?"
Li Shimin didn't hear clearly, but Li Chengqian heard clearly. He subconsciously wanted to repeat Du Jing's words, but Changsun Wuji glared back.
However, Du Jing, who was extremely brave, showed no fear. He raised his hands and said seriously: "I don't dare! I just want to ask for a fight and go to fight against Tubo with the new marching army!"
It's as if he didn't say this. He has already submitted more than a dozen invitations to fight, and no one knows that he wants to fight.
Li Chengqian was responsible for the pension, and he had seen Dugu Ancheng's official profile. He had also served in the Liangzhou Army, and it was not surprising that he had friendship with Du Jing. He asked for the battle, wasn't he just asking for the general Zhonglang, the commander of the Tonggui Army mentioned in the battle report?
Is Dugu Ancheng taking revenge?
As the prince and the eldest brother, Li Chengqian felt that he needed to remind Du Jing that the son of a rich man cannot sit down in the palace, but as a prince, he should act like a prince. If the general is killed in battle, he will be rewarded, and there is no need to take risks alone!
But his frivolous remarks touched Du Jing's sensitive nerves, and he stiffened his neck and replied: "He is my brother, I bury him, I cry. Your Highness, why are you so anxious?"
p>
Bang! Li Shimin threw the tea cup in his hand and shouted: "Dugu Ancheng is your brother, isn't Gao Ming?"
"I tell you clearly that whether you die or not is up to me."
Seeing that the emperor was really angry, and knowing that Du Jing had a donkey temper, he was worried that something might happen if he stood up to him. Changsun Wuji hurriedly came out to smooth things over, and glared at his smart nephew.
Liangzhou is a border pass, the place where the Four Wars are fought all the year round. From Du Jing's expression and persistence in this chapter, we know that the friendship between the two must be close to each other. The prince has never been a soldier, nor has he led an army. Of course not
We know that the bonds of life and death formed on the battlefield are better than brothers and sisters.
But Changsun Wuji had to tell him that the difficulty of life is like the endless river. Although he has the ambition to go east to the sea, the process is slow and the journey is difficult.
However, rivers and water always flow into the sea, but people's wishes are often difficult to realize, which makes people hate them for life.
No one is perfect in this life. Now that I have returned to Chang'an, I will listen to the sage's arrangements. A father can never let his son suffer!
"The auxiliary machine is right, listen to what my father said, marry a daughter-in-law and live a peaceful life!"
"I will use the best general to avenge your comrades!"
But Du Jing shook his head firmly: "His head didn't come back! His head was chopped off by the Tubo people and taken back as a trophy."
"I want to find the Tibetan general who took the lead, and then kill him, and pay with blood, justice."
As he spoke, Du Jing turned to look at Changsun Wuji: "Sikong has a high position and high authority, and he is honored and honored. Doesn't it mean that he doesn't dream when he sleeps, and he doesn't see ghosts when he dies?"
Yes, living people are easy to deal with. Just like Li Chengqian said, the court has its own pension, so you don’t have to worry about it.
But if you owe someone your life, can you repay it with money? Can your conscience be able to live with it?
In the future, when he dies and goes underground, how can he see his former comrades? All in all, he must fight this battle.
Alas! "You bitch! Do you know how much you weigh?"
Li Shimin was also an emperor who fought hard in the blood river of the corpse mountain. Of course he knew that this war was destined to be littered with corpses and blood. With Du Jing's current body, there may be no return from this trip.
But looking at the resolute face of Nizi, Li Shimin finally compromised and sighed: "Okay! I will incorporate you into the marching army."
He also knew that if he was not allowed to do so, he would have to kill him with this boy's temper. Ji Bu's promise was worth a thousand pieces of gold. This boy's temperament of attaching great importance to friendship and friendship really followed him!
As an emperor, Li Shimin rarely had anything he could do nothing about. All his children were submissive to him, but this second son really made him a little confused about how to deal with it.
Du Jing was overjoyed and respectfully kowtowed to Li Shimin three times and said respectfully: "The saint is as bright as the sun and the moon. I will do my best and die in repayment."
When they were leaving, Du Jing turned around and told Li Shimin with a smile that he had been alone since he was seven years old. He had never really blended in, not even after staying in Chang'an for so long.
He is just an unlucky guy named Li, a confused, stupid and arrogant child. The saint does not need to think about him, just think of him as an ordinary general.
There is no father in the world who doesn't love his son. Du Jing's words were like a knife, stabbing into Li Shimin's heart. As an emperor, it was impossible for him to express his feelings at will like an ordinary father.
