Chapter 226: Those who hurt my third wife must pay the price
In the Tai Chi Hall, His Majesty Li Yuan was holding a military newspaper in one hand and stroking his beard with the other hand. He grinned and laughed heartily. His face was filled with the words "good mood", which made him narrow his eyes.
I squinted my eyes harder and harder to see.
"Hahahaha... I defeated Liu Heita's 50,000-strong army in one battle, beheaded 3,000, and captured nearly 10,000 prisoners. My third wife is truly a phoenix, and she has indeed lived up to my high expectations."
After hearing His Majesty Li Yuan's words, the officials below all had complicated expressions on their faces.
If I remember correctly, you seem to have asked Princess Pingyang to go to Bingzhou to defend against the Turkic troops, right?
Your Majesty, when did you expect her to go to Hebei?
"Congratulations Aye!"
King Qin Li Shimin, who was standing at the top of the official list, stood up with a face of surprise and said loudly.
"Third sister's merits will not be used in the battle of Mingshui. I think that third sister's merits should be the best in Hebei!"
"What King Qin said is absolutely true..."
General Sun Shunde, who was standing behind Li Shimin, also stood up without hesitation.
"In this battle, Princess Pingyang ambushed her troops in advance and commanded the King of Huaiyang to defeat Liu Heita in one battle with the former Duke. She stabilized the situation in Hebei and should be regarded as the first achievement in Hebei!"
Swish, swish, swish...
After King Qin and Changsun Shunde spoke, one official after another stood up to echo.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Princess Pingyang should be the first to achieve success in Hebei!"
"The princess should be the first in Hebei Province!"
"I second the proposal!"
"..."
"uh-huh……"
After seeing his troubled son stand up, His Majesty Li Yuan, who was originally very happy, calmed down instantly. Then, after thinking about the cause and effect, his heart suddenly pounded.
He was just enjoying himself, but he seemed to have forgotten a very important thing.
Although Sanniangzi's battle was very beautiful, it seemed a bit early...
Why is Dalang still dragging his feet before taking office?
Now if I admit that Sanniangzi is the first contributor to Hebei, it will be equivalent to undermining Dalang's contribution. And if Dalang does not have this military merit, how can he possibly get along with Erlang just by relying on his contribution to appease Hebei?
Compare.
So, His Majesty Li Yuan held the battle report in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and winked below.
"Ahem..."
Before His Majesty Li Yuan's raised eyebrows fell, he saw Prime Minister Pei Ji standing at the front coughing twice, clearing his throat, slowly walking out, and raising his hands in salute to His Majesty Li Yuan.
"With the talents of the Third Lady, it is just an ordinary thing to defeat Liu Heitai. Compared with this matter, I want to congratulate Your Majesty on another matter more!"
"oh?"
Li Yuan placed the battle report in his hand on several cases and asked with great interest.
"What does Pei Qing want to congratulate me on?"
"I would like to congratulate Your Majesty on the deep brotherhood between Princess Pingyang and His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Pei Ji said with a serious face.
"Your Majesty, just imagine, you gave Princess Pingyang the responsibility to defend Bingzhou, but just because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to visit Hebei, the princess hurried to Hebei with 1,500 people. It's really a deep brotherhood."
"Um!"
Li Yuan pondered for a moment.
"Is that so? Pei Qing!"
"certainly!"
Pei Ji answered without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, just think about it, if the princess went to Hebei instead of assisting the prince, why else could she have gone to Hebei to help the king of Huaiyang?"
"Um!"
After hearing what Pei Ji said, Li Yuan immediately nodded with pride.
"Pei Qing's words make sense. My third wife has indeed known the principle of respect between brothers, friends and brothers since she was a child..."
After saying that, Li Yuan glanced at Li Shimin.
"...Not the kind of person who has no brothers!"
Li Shimin blinked silently, looking confused.
Didn't we talk about the third sister's victory in the battle? Why did it involve me again?
And I was right. The third sister attacked Liu Heita head-on, letting everyone in Hebei see how powerful the Tang army was. It is not an exaggeration to say that one is number one in military exploits!
"That's it!"
After hearing His Majesty Li Yuan's words, Pei Ji clapped his hands and made an envious expression.
"Princess Pingyang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have such a deep brother-sister relationship, which really makes me envious. If the dogs in the family can be one-tenth of those of Princess Pingyang, I will die in peace!"
"Uh-huh……"
Li Yuan nodded grandly above.
"Since the Third Lady supports Dalang so much, I can't be too disrespectful to her..."
Li Shimin, who was standing on the steps, looked at his Aye and suddenly felt that he was a bit strange.
Aye's partiality is too obvious, isn't it? It's obvious that Da Lang hasn't even arrived in Hebei yet because of his procrastination. Can the third sister's credit for winning the battle be credited to him?
Then the title of Daxingtai of East Shaanxi Province on my head also governs the Hebei War Zone. Should I also share the credit?
"so be it!"
His Majesty Li Yuan did not wait for Li Shimin and others to come out to object, and settled the matter directly by talking to himself.
"The prince commanded Daoxuan and Shi Wanbao to defeat Liu Heita this time, and they have made outstanding achievements. I will order him to properly arrange the rewards."
Li Shimin blinked, with a look of astonishment on his face.
Wait, wasn't the third sister fighting this battle?
Why did Dalang become the commander of Li Daoxuan and Shi Wanbao in the blink of an eye? Where was Dalang commanding, in a dream?
"As for my third wife..."
Li Yuan stroked his beard with his hand with satisfaction and raised his voice.
"Add another two thousand households to the city, and seal three thousand households!"
Regarding His Majesty Li Yuan's arrangement for Princess Pingyang, none of the officials present stood up to express objections. After all, no matter how powerful Princess Pingyang is, it is impossible to really arrange any official positions, so she can only make a fuss about the fiefdom and the food.
Already.
As a result, Princess Pingyang's food estate increased from one thousand households to three thousand households, which was ten times that of her sisters.
Just after His Majesty Li Yuan decided the whole matter in his own words, his eyes finally fell on Li Shimin. Seeing him standing on the steps with a confused look on his face, a hint of unbearable flashed in his eyes, but then
Then he disappeared.
"Fu Yiqing..."
After Li Yuan spoke, an official in purple clothes came out from the side and saluted respectfully.
"I'm here!"
Li Yuan waved his hand gently, and the servant on one side came over with a plate, and walked up to Fu Yi.
"Try this thing with me..."
Fu Yi looked down and saw a weird snake-like dagger placed inside the plate. Moreover, the material of the dagger was neither gold nor jade, and it had no sharp edge.
Fu Yi picked up the dagger casually, weighed it in his hand, then put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully. Finally, he put the dagger back into the tray and raised his hand to His Majesty Li Yuan.
"Your Majesty, this object is a magical weapon of the evil Buddha and the Hu Cult. The material is bone, and..."
Fu Yi stretched out his hand to show his sword finger, and slid the dagger from the plate inch by inch.
A faint red light shone from the dagger, and then all the officials present seemed to hear a miserable howl.
"It seems that they still use human bones! I dare to ask Your Majesty, which demon monk enshrined this kind of thing in the palace?"
"What?"
After hearing Fu Yi's words, the officials present were in an uproar.
"Human bones...is this real?"
"The hair and skin of the body are given by parents, and the bones of others are used...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
"This is really too..."
"..."
"Fu Qing, you guessed wrong. This object was not enshrined in the palace, but was found on the body of a Turkic shaman assassin after Sanniang killed him."
Li Yuan looked at Fu Yi with a gloomy expression.
"Sanniangzi said that this object is similar to the Buddhist magic weapon that was discovered before that can isolate dragon energy, so she sent it back to me quickly. Please check it carefully for me to see if this object can isolate dragon energy.
…”
"oh!"
Fu Yi nodded with a clear face and reached out to pick up the dagger again. The fingers of his right hand trembled and there was a yellow talisman in his hand.
"Edict!"
With the words, a heavy pressure fell out of thin air, directly pressing on the several officials around him.
Bang bang bang...
These officials, who had absolutely no magic power, suddenly felt their bodies sinking and fell to their knees involuntarily.
Looking at these officials kneeling on the ground, Fu Yi shook the dagger in his hand slightly and frowned slightly.
"I still have some energy left..."
As he spoke, he raised his dagger and swiped, untying the restraints of several officials, and saluted King Qin Li Shimin who was standing on the steps.
"Your Highness, King Qin, please forgive me for being rude."
"No problem!"
Li Shimin waved his hand generously.
"Fu Qing, just try..."
"Thank you, King Qin!"
Fu Yi nodded to Li Shimin, then raised his finger and pointed it at him, and then the ears of the officials present seemed to hear an unknown roar.
As the roar sounded, Fu Yi's body immediately took two steps back and his face turned pale.
He closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, then respectfully placed the bone dagger in the tray, then turned to salute His Majesty Li Yuan.
"Your Majesty, this object really has the effect of isolating dragon energy, and it is very obvious. If a powerful practitioner holds this object, I am afraid that except for your Majesty, the prince, the King of Qin and others, the other officials can take whatever they ask for."
hiss!
After hearing Fu Yi's words, the officials present took a deep breath.
As long as the practitioner holds this thing, everyone except His Majesty and his family can take whatever they want...
Doesn't that mean that even I am not that safe?
"snort!"
His Majesty Li Yuan snorted, with an angry look on his face.
"These damn monks actually dare to collude with the Turks and plot against my third wife... Fu Qing!"
Fu Yi bowed and saluted without hesitation.
"I'm here!"
"I leave this matter to you,"
Li Yuan leaned forward, with a sinister look on his face.
"Can it be done?"
"I will try my best..."
Fu Yi replied hesitantly.
"But I am alone..."
"I will issue an edict to Qingxiazi,"
Li Yuan stood up from behind the desk, waved his sleeves, and said in an unquestionable voice.
"Let the Taishi Bureau fully assist you. I only want one result, and that is that everyone involved in this matter must pay the price!"
