Chapter 367: Your Majesty, are you interested in taking a walk on the Conferred God List?
It can be said that there is constant good news in Datang during this time!
First, the invading Turkic right division was beaten to pieces in Bingzhou by Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang with more than 10,000 people like rolling back a bead curtain. Liu Wuzhou's remnants Yuan Junzhang, Gao Manzheng and others were also among her troops.
After learning about the defeat of the right wing, the Turkic Jieli Khan thought again and again, and finally withdrew his troops back to the grassland, ending the plunder of the Tang Dynasty.
After hearing the news, His Majesty Li Yuan in Chang'an breathed a sigh of relief.
Next is the Hebei side. After Li Yuanji arrived in Hebei and joined Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng and Liu Heitai soon had another head-on fight. Li Yuanji also participated in the battle in person. He led more than a thousand cavalry to repeatedly attack.
The cavalry of Liu Heitai's army caused a lot of casualties. Coupled with the siege by Liu Hongji and others, Liu Heitai was defeated again, while Li Jiancheng was leading a fierce pursuit with high spirits.
Hebei is just around the corner!
His Majesty Li Yuan was very happy about this news. He even publicly promoted His Majesty Li Jiancheng's achievements at the Synomantic Day, saying that Dalang's feat of completely pacifying Hebei was Li Tang's most important victory since the founding of the country. Compared with
If so, even Erlang's ability to capture two kings in one battle would pale in comparison.
Although Li Shimin expressed that he had something to say, His Majesty Li Yuan refused to listen!
In addition to these two extremely good news, there is another thing that makes His Majesty Li Yuan very happy, that is, Xu Yuanlang, who has been lingering in Shandong, finally died, and Shandong has completely returned to the embrace of the Tang Dynasty.
Now there are no other wars in the land of Kyushu except Fugong Er who just rebelled not long ago.
The troubled times since the end of the Sui Dynasty have finally come to an end. After the so-called eighteen families rebelled against the king and the thirty-six families came to their end one after another, peace has shown its light to the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Thanks to these good news, a relaxed air is floating in the city of Chang'an.
It was rare for His Majesty Li Yuan not to lose his temper for several days in a row. He even behaved very kindly when facing his rebellious son Li Shimin, which flattered a certain King of Qin who was used to his moodiness and made him very uncomfortable.
"Hahaha……"
The hearty laughter of His Majesty Li Yuan came from the Zhaode Hall again.
"Pei Qing, come here and see, Dalang did a good job this time and lived up to my heart!"
"I'm here to see you..."
Seeing that his good friend was in such a good mood, Pei Ji came to His Majesty Li Yuan with a smile on his face and respectfully took the battle report handed over by His Majesty Li Yuan with both hands.
"Oh, Liu Heitai fled north to Raoyang, but Zhuge Dewei, the governor of Raozhou he appointed, saw that the situation was over, trapped Liu Heitai, surrendered to our army, and will soon send Liu Heitai to the prince's army...
Ouch!”
Pei Ji let out a burst of admiration and raised his hands in front of His Majesty Li Yuan.
"Old minister, I congratulate Your Majesty. Now that Liu Heitai has been captured, Hebei is certain! The prince's move is truly a great achievement for the country!"
"Hahaha……"
Li Yuan touched his beard with his hand, and the wrinkles on his face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile.
"Where, where... Dalang has made progress this time and finally lived up to my expectations."
Seeing Li Yuan's happy expression, Pei Ji touched his beard with his hand, rolled his eyes, and said jokingly.
"However, in my opinion, there is still a fact that has not been revealed in this battle report."
"oh?"
Li Yuan asked curiously.
"What facts are not being told?"
"This is the person..."
Pei Ji pointed at a certain name on the battle report and said meaningfully to Li Yuan.
"How could he surrender after seeing that the situation was over? It was clearly His Highness the Crown Prince's wisdom and martial prowess who instigated Liu Heitai's confidants in advance and blocked the way for the other party to escape back to the Turks and make a comeback!"
"oh!"
After hearing Pei Ji's words, Li Yuan touched his beard with his hand, rolled his eyes, and immediately showed a look of enlightenment.
"Pei Qing, you know the subtleties. Yes, you are right. Da Lang must have instigated him in advance..."
With that said, Li Yuan waved his hand to Pei Ji and said softly.
"Then I will leave this matter to you, Pei Qing..."
"rest assured!"
With a smile on his face, Pei Ji cupped his hands and bowed deeply to His Majesty Li Yuan.
"Master Xiao'er is in front of the Prince's Army. The old minister immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Hebei..."
"Hahaha……"
Li Yuan lifted his beard and laughed again. While laughing, he pointed at Pei Ji with his finger.
"Pei Qing, you are really a prime minister, and you have won my heart!"
Facing Li Yuan's compliment, Pei Ji stroked his beard with his hand without being arrogant and laughed too.
"correct!"
After laughing for a while, His Majesty Li Yuan stopped, grabbed the dragon blood cup on the case, and said in a very casual tone.
"Pei Qing, when I went out for a leisurely trip yesterday... to observe the sentiments of the people, I met the fourth lady of your family in the West Market..."
After hearing Li Yuan's words, Pei Ji's heart skipped a beat.
I really came to whatever I was afraid of. In order to prevent my good friend from thinking about the obviously problematic Pei Xinru, I didn't dare to invite him to my home to express my condolences to the 'distressed girls' who were affected by the war. As a result, he actually did it himself
I met him in Xishi.
wrong!
This was definitely not an accidental encounter. It was probably because this good friend of mine had already found out that the other party was temporarily staying in the West Market, so he deliberately came to meet him by chance.
However, facing His Majesty Li Yuan's question, Pei Ji still had a confused expression on his face.
"Sage, I only have two sons and one daughter in my family. There are no four wives!"
"Pei Qing..."
Li Yuan squinted his eyes and tapped Pei Ji with his hand, half smiling.
"Are you pretending to be confused here again? I'm talking about your daughter! What I'm talking about is the fourth lady of the Pei family who threw a pot with me last time when I went to your house, your niece."
"oh!"
When Pei Ji heard this, he patted his head with his hand, with a look of realization on his face.
"So, saint, you are talking about her!"
"Yes, I'm talking about her..."
Li Yuan twirled his beard with his hand, with an excited look on his face.
"Pei Qing, I'm not telling you, your home is so big, but you let your niece live in an inn in the West Market every day, within the market, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"Sage, you have wronged me..."
After hearing Li Yuan's words, Pei Ji immediately began to cry out for injustice.
"I heard that the Pei clan is considered a big clan, with a large number of people. If every clan member who comes to Chang'an lives in Lao Chen's family, Lao Chen's family won't be able to accommodate them even if it is ten times bigger."
Speaking of this, Pei Ji glanced at Li Yuan secretly and continued.
"But it's not that the fourth lady doesn't want her to live in his home, it's that she doesn't want to live in his home."
"oh!"
When talking about this fourth lady, Li Yuan became obviously interested.
"Why, Pei Qing, please explain in detail."
After hearing Li Yuan's words, Pei Ji sighed silently in his heart.
Nonsense, that fourth lady brought a bunch of young men, can I let them all live in my house, next door to those 'distressed girls' who are in urgent need of rescue?
It is enough for me to comfort the "distressed girl" by myself, and I don't need the help of young men.
"Didn't I tell you, the saint, last time?"
Pei Ji said softly.
"This fourth lady is not the same as the old minister. She is actually Pei Ju's biological niece. She is currently living in Xishi because Pei Ju followed the prince to Hebei. When Pei Ju comes back, the fourth lady will live in Pei Ju's house.
Already."
"oh!"
Li Yuan touched his beard with his hand and nodded.
"I remember, it seems that there was such a time..."
Before Li Yuan could finish his words, with the sound of footsteps, the chamberlain said loudly outside the door.
"Reporting to the saint, Dr. Yinqing Guanglu, the supervisor of the Taishi Bureau, Qingwei, please see me!"
"oh!"
His Majesty Li Yuan pursed his lips and swallowed what he wanted to say. At the same time, he waved his hand to Pei Ji, indicating that the topic would be discussed later, and then raised his voice and spoke to the door.
"Xuan!"
"yes!"
Not long after the chamberlain respectfully agreed, Kong Qing, wearing a white Taoist robe that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, floated in from the door with a whisk in his hand, and bowed to Li Yuan.
"Qingwei has seen the saint!"
"waived!"
Perhaps because he was in a really good mood, His Majesty Li Yuan rarely smiled at Qing and replied in a pleasant manner.
"Qingwei, why did you come back so soon? What happened to the gods in Jianghuai who assisted Fu Gong'er?"
"Return to the saint..."
Kong Qing bowed and saluted, took out a report from his sleeve, and raised his hands.
"The poor Taoist has fulfilled his mission. Those gods who dared to rebel and assist Duke Fu have been punished!"
"oh!"
After hearing what Kong Qing said, Li Yuan's face suddenly showed a look of surprise. He waved his hand, and the waiter on the side immediately stepped forward to take the report from Kong Qing's hand, turned around and handed it to him.
His Majesty Li Yuan opened the report casually and browsed through the lines at a glance, while speaking in a complimentary tone.
"Qingwei, you have been to Jianghuai for less than a month, and you have already successfully defeated those rebellious gods. It really surprised me! Before you left, the document Sanniang gave me said that you were attacking
The Turks were the first to capture Mayi, but I still doubt her... Now it seems that my vision is really not as good as that of my third wife."
"The sage is so praising..."
Hearing that Sanniangzi actually commented that he was the leader, Kong Qing couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. Then he bowed again and answered in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
"When attacking the Turks, Pindao just entered the city of Mayi in advance, persuaded Master Shi Sengyan of the Lian Sect by force, and then with the support of Shi Sengyan, he persuaded Gao Manzheng and opened the gate of Mayi City. Seriously speaking, but
He stole a piece of credit from the saint’s fierce and fierce hands!”
"Hahaha……"
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Li Yuan burst out laughing.
"Persuasion by force... Qingwei's words are really interesting. I read Sanniangzi's military report but it said that Qingwei fought one on one in Gao Manzheng's army and defeated the whole army before Gao Manzheng and the others were defeated.
I am sincerely convinced, but is this possible?"
"yes!"
Kong Qing nodded slightly.
"Pindao did 'discuss' with Gao Manzheng's soldiers."
"That's true. I didn't expect you, Qingwei, to be so handsome and handsome. I didn't expect you to be so enviable..."
As he spoke, Li Yuan raised his head and looked at Kong Qing with eager eyes.
"But I don't envy Qingwei your handsomeness, nor do I envy your strength, because when I was young, my appearance was very similar to Qingwei's, and I was as good at fighting as Qingwei. At that time, those in Daxing City
I have never beaten any of the powerful children; among the powerful ladies in Daxing City, there is not a single one who would not blush and feel his heart beat when they see me..."
Having said this, Li Yuan sighed.
"But now I can't help but envy Qingwei your youth... Alas! He passed away like a man, and he didn't give up day and night!"
The corners of Kong Qing's mouth twitched silently.
When you were young, your appearance was similar to that of a poor Taoist. Because of your shamelessness, Your Majesty, you can't say you are old now!
"That's right..."
At this moment, Pei Ji on the side also felt something.
"And the most embarrassing thing is that Qingwei, you are still a practitioner, and you can live forever... Alas! Why don't I have the qualifications to practice?"
"yes!"
His Majesty Li Yuan on the side also sighed.
"If I can practice cultivation now and live forever, I would be willing to trade my throne for it..."
Kong Qing curled his lips silently in his heart.
Don't talk nonsense here. If you really have this opportunity, Your Majesty Li Yuan will not give up the wealth and honor in the world. Do you think Pindao has never heard the story of five million and two cows?
etc!
Kong Qing suddenly realized something.
It seems that there really is a way for His Majesty Li Yuan and Pei Ji to live forever and keep their two cows...
Your Majesty, are you interested in taking a walk on the list of gods?
