The shame of the Weishui River is still in front of my eyes. I caught Jie Li's son in the blink of an eye. It's really a cycle of heaven and unsatisfactory retribution!
Li Shimin wished he could scream to the sky and drink three glasses of wine!
After this time, who will dare to talk about the shame of the Weishui River again?
Now that the Turks have been exterminated, then I am not a disgrace back then, but I am doing my best to avoid it strategically!
Wang Zi’an, you are really my big baby!
Doesn't this brat want to be a marquis?
seal up!
Must be closed!
Li Shimin's hands were trembling with excitement, and he wished he could leave the court immediately and go find Wang Zi'an for a drink.
Wang Zi'an?
What does this have to do with Wang Zi’an!
The civil and military officials in the palace had not yet recovered from the shock of the great victory in Mobei and the capture of Jieli Khan alive. They did not expect that Li Shimin would bring up such a completely puzzling topic again.
The name Wang Zi'an has been very popular recently. Although many people have never met him, they have heard of his name and know a little about him.
Not to mention his classic poems that made a sensation in Chang'an and were sung for a while, nor his calligraphy works that made Yu Shinan and other calligraphers praise him and put them to shame, just talking about the Changle Trading Company of the Tang Dynasty is enough to be remembered -
Who's child hasn't been unlucky enough to be tricked by someone else?
Several sets of heaters were taken away from me by thousands of dollars!
Just thinking about it makes me sad.
But it happened that Wang Zi'an played the game very cleverly. He marked the price clearly and acted like a child. His son failed to live up to expectations and he paid the IQ tax. It was hard for him to find a way out.
But I can remember the name Wang Zi’an.
What's more, yesterday Hejian County Prince Li Xiaogong made such a big fuss and came to the door to propose marriage in person. There was a heated discussion in Chang'an, and they all speculated which royal child would marry this elegant and handsome young man.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Wang Zi'an to be forgotten.
But so what?
What about being talented, what about being rich, what about being good-looking?
Does it have anything to do with defeating the Turks and capturing Jieli alive for half a penny?
Only a few people had vague guesses in their hearts and showed a look of shock. Cheng Yaojin, Tang Jian, Wei Zheng and others couldn't help but show expectant and excited looks. Changsun Wuji couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. He suddenly thought of Dongshan.
That army of snowboarders.
Could it be——
I have just worked hard and overcome many obstacles to make it a law that scholars cannot enter the officialdom without taking the imperial examination.
I didn’t expect that bitch Wang Zi’an to achieve military exploits right away?
Moreover, it is still a great achievement in battle!
It was so unexpected!
He suddenly felt stuffy in his heart and his throat was slightly sweet.
Seeing that all the civil and military ministers in the palace were stunned by the news, they all whispered to each other. Li Shimin was in a good mood and did not stop him. Instead, he looked at the young captain in front of him who came to report the news.
My lips are chapped, my hands are red and swollen, my eyes are bloodshot, and I'm travel-stained.
Li Shimin showed a hint of emotion on his face, smiled and nodded.
"General, you have worked hard all the way. Go down and rest first. I will reward you later!"
The young captain clasped his fists in salute with excitement on his face, and then withdrew.
Li Shimin then handed the good news in his hand to the chamberlain beside him, who held it and passed it around.
There were servants shooting from left to right, six ministers, and the good news was circulated among several big shots. Finally, an old minister couldn't help but be excited and read it loudly with excitement.
In the main hall, you could hear a needle drop, only the old gentleman's somewhat hoarse vibrato echoed in the main hall.
"With the help of the iron army that Mr. Wang Zi'an painstakingly trained, I rushed thousands of miles and conquered Xiangyang in one fell swoop. After that, Jieli fled. Fortunately, my subordinates Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai, based on the advance advice of their master Mr. Wang Zi'an, led the way to Xiangyang.
It was successfully intercepted on the road to Yinshan.
Later, I worked with Chai Shao, the governor of Yunzhou, Li Ji, the governor of Bingzhou, and Xue Wanshu, the governor of Lingzhou, to cover up the killing. The Turkic army was defeated and the enemy was killed..."
Victory, great victory!
He really defeated the main Turkic army, really captured Jieli Khan, and really solved the border troubles that had lasted for many years on the northern border!
The whole court fell into a sea of joy!
The uproar and cheers gradually began to grow louder and louder, and even the whip of the censor on duty could not suppress them.
The Turks, who were inhabiting the desert north and had been threatening the hinterland of the Central Plains, were defeated in a single battle, completely solving their serious problem!
Simply unbelievable.
The Turks have an army of hundreds of thousands!
Just disappeared like this?
If the general leading the army was not Li Jing, the Minister of War, who was known as the God of War, and if the document reporting the victory at the border had not been signed by Su Dingfang and Li Ji, everyone would almost suspect that this was a false report of military information.
There is no doubt that the Turks were defeated, Jieli was captured, and they even found Empress Xiao of the former Sui Dynasty. This achievement is simply incredible.
Looking at the dazzling names on the list of military merits, many people can't help but feel sour in their hearts.
If I had known this, no matter what, I would have sent the brats at home to the army.
It's sour, but everyone knows that these people on the list of military merits are going to be prosperous this time, especially the three names that have been highlighted and emphasized repeatedly. This time, they will shine and will definitely soar into the sky, even if they can't be pressed.
Living.
Wang Zi'an, Wang Xuance, Xi Junmai!
It turned out that the defeat of the Turkic army this time mainly relied on the ski army and sled transport army trained by Wang Zi'an himself.
The most incredible thing for everyone is that this Wang Zi'an was not only able to predict Jie Li's escape in advance, but he was also able to accurately predict the direction of Jie Li's escape.
Is that human being?
If Li Jing, Li Ji, Su Dingfang and others did not exaggerate and falsely report their military exploits, then this Wang Zi'an would be ridiculously powerful!
How old is Wang Zi'an?
It is said that he is only in his early twenties!
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring in their hearts.
In the future, there will probably be another super upstart in the Tang Dynasty.
This kind of military merit is not worthy of a marquis, right?
When everyone's discussion gradually subsided, Li Shimin sat firmly in his golden palace.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Looking at Li Shimin who had returned to the Jinluan Palace and was elated, many ministers suddenly thought about it and glanced at Wang Gang and Wang Dian with some pity.
There are also three people, Lu Youzhi.
The points of these three people are really too contradictory.
If this battle report had come one day late, or even a quarter of an hour later, the situation would have been completely different.
Success is a failure.
You have to accept the bitter consequences of failure.
Looking at Wang Gang, Lu Youzhi, and the ministers who had just come out to second the proposal for him to marry his daughter, who had quietly returned to his train, Li Shimin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Lu Aiqing, I just heard you say that you are old and have more than enough energy but not enough energy. If you think about it carefully, it is my fault - I should not be sympathizing with the old minister and let you still manage state affairs at such an old age. How about that?
You can temporarily step down from your duties in the imperial court, and from now on, go back to your hometown to recuperate——"
Although Li Shimin's tone was gentle, anyone could hear the anger in the emperor's heart.
This is the emperor's naked revenge.
Hearing what Li Shimin said, Lu Youzhi couldn't help but turn pale, as if his energy had suddenly been drained away. He stood up slowly from the train, with trembling hands, took off the crown and sash on his head, and knelt down.
"Old minister, thank you for your grace——"
Seeing that Lu Youzhi was directly dismissed from office by Li Shimin, Wang Dian and Wang Gang couldn't help but feel shocked, but they were not panicked.
Lu Youzhi can be dismissed in the name of old age and sympathy for veterans. He is still in the prime of life.
Is it possible that this dog emperor still dares to fall out on the spot and settle the consequences directly?
What I just said was out of consideration for the safety of the Tang Dynasty!
Just when he thought of this, he saw Li Shimin's eyes sweeping over.
"I have thought carefully about what Wang Gang Aiqing said just now about opening a forum, and I feel that it makes sense. It can not only communicate with Tuyuhun and Tubo, but also express my intention of good neighborliness and reconciliation. It is of great importance and cannot be ignored-"
Hearing this, Wang Gang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
This dog emperor doesn't dare to fall out with the Wang family directly.
The Wang family, which has been filled with ministers and ministers for generations, is not comparable to the Lu family, which is already in decline. At this moment, he suddenly heard Li Shimin add lightly.
"I think Wang Aiqing is very knowledgeable about this. How about I leave this matter to you?"
When Wang Gang heard this, he suddenly thought, feeling that something was wrong, but the emperor had already said this and could not allow him to think too much, so he had to stand out of the train and said in a deep voice.
"Thanks to His Majesty's attention, I am obliged to do so."
Li Shimin nodded slightly.
"That's very good - I have ordered you to be the inspector of the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo Food Market. From now on, you will rush to Hezhou to build the food market, and preside over the subsequent transactions between the Tang Dynasty, Tubo and Tuyuhun, and the relevant regulations.
I will send people to discuss and communicate with them, so you can go ahead and prepare—"
Wang Gang was shocked and looked at Li Shimin sitting in the Jinluan Hall in disbelief.
Is this a way to allocate yourself?
I am a dignified young minister of Dali Temple, but this pole has been propped up to a place where no one can shit?
"Wang Aiqing, we are going to a high mountain and a long road, so please take care of yourself——"
Seeing Wang Gang's pale face, Li Shimin felt an indescribable joy in his heart.
What a joy!
If it weren't for the dignity of the imperial court, I would really want to adopt his daughter as his adopted daughter and marry him to Tubo!
Wang Gang looked at the hypocritical Li Shimin and wished he could pounce on him and bite him, but unfortunately he didn't dare. Although the Wang family had deep roots and rich leaves, it didn't mean that he dared to openly disobey the emperor's orders.
He quietly looked back and saw that everyone in his family was looking at his nose and heart, with no intention of coming out to speak for him. He suddenly felt bitter in his heart, stood up from the train, and bowed deeply to Li Shimin.
"Wei Chen obeys the decree——"
Li Shimin nodded slightly, looked at Wang Dian, the young minister of Honglu Temple, who had turned pale, and showed a meaningful smile. Just when Wang Dian's legs became weak, Li Shimin gently looked away.
Don't rush, there are plenty of opportunities.
If the slap was too hard, it might cause a backlash from the Wang family, which would not be pretty.
Seeing that Li Shimin ignored him, Wang Dian couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he realized that his back was covered with sweat from unknown reasons.
…
Great victory in Mobei, capture Jieli alive!
Before the dynasty was over, this exciting news caused a sensation throughout Chang'an with the arrival of Captain Baojie in Beijing!
The shame of the Wei River was still before our eyes, and the Tang Dynasty had already captured Jieli Khan alive.
What a feeling of pride!
People celebrate!
Many men, women, and children high-fived and celebrated, and some old people even wiped away tears and brought incense, candles, and paper money to worship their relatives who died in the battle with the Huns.
In the city, some people have spontaneously set off firecrackers, many stores have hung up the dragon flag of the Tang Dynasty, and many restaurants have even put up half-price promotion signs.
Everyone celebrates!
The energy of Chang'an City, which had been sluggish all winter, suddenly revived.
After the morning meeting ended, a name that had recently blinded everyone's eyes once again blinded everyone's eyes.
Wang Zi'an?
Prince Ann!
One day later, Wang Zi'an once again became a hot topic in the streets, teahouses and restaurants.
Taoran Restaurant.
Although this restaurant is small in scale and located in a deep alley, it is elegantly set up and has an artistic conception of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle. In addition, the drinks and ingredients are also quite unique, and it is quite famous among the upper-class circles of Chang'an.
Many dignitaries, or people from the small circle of the Sixth Academy of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, often want to come here to have a drink.
However, few people know that this is an estate belonging to the Wang family in Taiyuan.
Since his arm was trampled by Wang Zi'an last time, Wang Tong didn't want to stay at home to rest, so he simply moved here.
At this time, he was sitting in the private room, drinking with some old classmates and friends. After just a few drinks, he heard the arguments next door getting louder and louder. Zheng Guan couldn't help but frown, couldn't help but put down his glass, and was about to scold him.
A few sentences.
I heard a faint name coming into my ears.
Wang Zi'an——
It’s Wang Zi’an again!
The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became stagnant. Everyone couldn't help but subconsciously turned their heads and glanced at Wang Tong. Who didn't know that this prince now hated Wang Zi'an deeply, and it was said that even the arm was the hand of Wang Tong.
Wang Tong also tightened his grip on his wine glass instantly.
"Brother Wang, let me go over and see who it is that doesn't open its eyes and makes such a loud noise next door——"
Wang Tongqiang smiled and shook his head.
"It doesn't matter, let's listen to what they say——"
…
"Brother Changsun, I never thought that Wang Zi'an would be so lucky. He never leaves the house without even taking a step forward. He gets a huge amount of credit just by sitting at home. He's really so lucky -"
Du He complained sourly while holding food and wine.
"That's not to say, then how capable Wang Zi'an is. I heard from my father that the reason why the imperial court was able to quickly defeat the Turks and capture Jie Li alive was due to the sleds and snowboards Wang Zi'an contributed..."
When Zhang Wei heard this, he put down his wine glass and said something envious.
"Sleds and snowboards are just fancy skills. In the final analysis, they are just a skilled craftsman. I think the rumors outside are indeed a bit exaggerated.
In that situation, if it were us, we would definitely be able to do better than him. He is a country bumpkin who knows nothing about fighting..."
Du He said while looking at Changsun Chong.
"Brother Zhangsun, what do you think-"
Changsun Chong silently drank the wine in his hand and placed it heavily on the table.
"You know what the heck - the reason why Wang Zi'an is where he is today is because he is favored by noble people -"
