Chapter 418: Yan homing by the Peach Blossom Stream, smashing the fancy details on the moon
With the return of Prince Li Jiancheng to Beijing, it was announced that Hebei had returned to the embrace of the Tang Dynasty. Within the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty, except for the still turbulent Jianghuai area, the wars had subsided in other places. It seemed that peace would soon come.
is coming.
But at the same time, some minor storms began to appear in the court...
"Fangdangshu deserves to die!"
King Qin Li Shimin stood under His Majesty Dan, with his hands clasped in his fists, and he spoke righteously.
"Tuyuhun is just a gang of rabble. Even if they can't break it, they can defend the city and resist the enemy. However, Fangdangshu, as the governor of Fangzhou, abandoned the city and fled when Tuyuhun invaded, causing Fangzhou to fall. This is a great crime.
, the child asked Aye to serve as a tree in the criminal chamber to serve as a warning to others!"
"What Erlang said is inappropriate!"
Li Jiancheng on the side also stood up.
"Tuyuhun generals had tens of thousands of soldiers and were coming with a fierce force. The Fangzhou garrison was only a few thousand. We were outnumbered and the enemy was outnumbered. How could we defend Fangzhou? It might have been inappropriate to abandon the city with the house as a tree, but we still saved the Fangzhou garrison and joined Song.
The army of the state defeated Tuyuhun. Even if he had no great merit, he should have no fault. How can he be punished in vain?"
"Dalang, you..."
Li Shimin opened his eyes and glared at Li Jiancheng.
"If you can abandon the city and flee when you see that the bandits are powerful, then when the Turks invade, don't you, Dalang, want all the border towns to abandon the city in order to garrison troops?"
Li Jiancheng also spoke plausibly.
"How can Tuyuhun and Turks be lumped together..."
Under the leadership of Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, the princelings and the Qin Wangdang also began to stand up and clarify their positions one by one, and began to quarrel with each other. Suddenly, the entire Tai Chi Hall became a quarrel.
Li Yuan sat on the dragon chair, his face a little ugly.
In fact, purely on this matter, he still supports his Erlang.
After all, as the ruler of a country, we must deal with irresponsible guys like Fangdangshu who abandoned the city and fled. Just like what Erlang said, if Fangdangshu is not punished today, then the Turks will be punished tomorrow.
When the invaders invaded, could the officials in the border towns abandon the city and flee, putting the Turks on the border of Chang'an along the way?
If you raise a dog that doesn’t even have the ability to look after your home, then why should you keep him?
But Li Yuan looked at the chaotic situation below and realized that he could not blatantly stand up to support Erlang.
Because now Erlang and the officials who are attached to him have defeated Dalang and others, if he stands up to support Erlang again, he may give the officials the wrong impression that he intends to change the prince.
In a dilemma, Li Yuan could only sigh, silently raised his eyebrows, and sent a hint to his good friend.
Then, Mr. Pei Ji, who never disappoints Li Yuan, stood up.
"Sage, please listen to what I have to say!"
Li Yuan raised his hand and said with a majestic look.
"Pei Qing, please speak."
"yes!"
After Pei Ji agreed, he bowed again and said loudly.
""Han Feizi" says that in a well-governed country, there are rewards and punishments but no joy or anger. If you interpret rituals, you will act rashly, even if it is small and medium-sized. If you interpret the law, you will be arrogant and angry, even if you kill, you will not be afraid of traitors. So..."
With that said, Pei Ji straightened up and continued.
"What the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qin said about Fangdangshu are reasonable. Fangdangshu abandoned the city and was punished. However, he saved the garrison in Fangzhou and joined forces with Songzhou to repel Tuyuhun.
As a reward..."
"Pei Qing!"
Li Yuan waved his hand impatiently and urged.
"Just tell me how to deal with it!"
"yes!"
Pei Ji agreed again and bowed again.
"I thought that I should punish the person but shield my son!"
After hearing Pei Ji's words, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then opened his mouth to refute. But before he could say anything, Li Yuan had already spoken first.
"What Pei Qing said is a mature move to seek the country, so act accordingly!"
"yes!"
Pei Ji arched his hands, agreed respectfully again, and then stepped aside. Li Jiancheng glanced at Li Shimin proudly, and then stepped back. Although Li Shimin was still a little unhappy on his face, he did not show it and also stepped aside.
Although the turmoil was said to have ended, it didn't take long before the two sides started fighting again.
"Aye, I think you can't tolerate Tuyuhun. This generation of beasts is afraid of power but not moral..."
Li Shimin said excitedly.
"They first invaded Fangzhou. Although they encountered a small setback at the foot of Songzhou City, they turned around and invaded Tao and Minzhou. This is intolerable. They must fight back hard to let them see the power of the Tang Dynasty.
Military power."
Li Yuan nodded silently and answered aloud.
"Then in Erlang's opinion, how should we deal with it?"
"The boy thought that he could lure his uncle Dou Gui out of Shu and defeat Tuyuhun to save Minzhou."
"This is inappropriate..."
Before Li Yuan could speak, Li Jiancheng stood up again.
"I heard that the barbarians in the south are a little unstable, so Uncle Dou Gui shouldn't do anything lightly. In the meantime, it's better to transfer the governor of Qizhou and Huo Guogong Chai Shao to save Minzhou."
"Uncle Dou Gui must not move lightly. How can Sichang be able to move lightly?"
Li Shimin said tit for tat.
"Besides, the weather in Shu has begun to get hot now, and the barbarians will not take advantage of this time to make a surprise attack, so it is better to adjust Uncle Dou Gui!"
“It’s better to adjust Chai Shao!”
"It's appropriate to adjust the sinus rail!"
"Tune Chai Shao..."
"Adjust the sinus track..."
Li Yuan sighed silently.
Since Dalang came back from Hebei this time, he felt that his merits were enough and he began to confront his brother in all aspects, and there was only one way, that is, I will oppose what you support.
Although Li Yuan was somewhat happy to see the outcome of his two sons targeting each other, it still makes people a little upset that this kind of thing happens every day.
"What Dalang said this time is right, let's go to Tiao Sichang."
…
After finally waiting for the court meeting to disperse, His Majesty Li Yuan rubbed his temples, looked at Pei Ji who had been left behind on purpose, and said with a tired look on his face.
"These two children are really giving me a headache. Pei Qing, are the lawyers and mages so noisy in your home?"
After hearing Li Yuan's words, the corner of Pei Ji's mouth twitched.
Just kidding, if those two guys dare to behave like brothers and sisters in front of me, see if I can beat them to death.
But the problem is that he can't answer his good friend like this, so he can only speak vaguely.
"Children, they are all the same, the same..."
However, although Pei Ji didn't say it explicitly, Li Yuan still heard the other party's hidden meaning from his words.
"I really envy you, Pei Qing. Not only are you strong and strong, but your two children are also close as brothers. I heard that both of your daughters-in-law are pregnant now?"
"good!"
Pei Ji stroked his beard with his hand and said with a smile.
"According to Master Sun Simiao from Qingdu Temple, both of them are boys."
"Although everyone wants to have a boy, in fact there is nothing good about boys..."
Li Yuan raised his head, his eyes wandering.
"Just like my sons, none of them give me any peace of mind. My third wife is better... Hey! I almost forgot that today seems to be the birthday of my phoenix girl, although my phoenix girl doesn't want to
It’s a big deal, but I still have to give you my gift.”
With that said, Li Yuan turned around and said to the chamberlain on the side.
"Go, go to the inner treasury to get ten pairs of jade walls and a bunch of pearls, and deliver them to Princess Pingyang's house for me."
…
Because today is the wedding of Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning. Although Princess Pingyang said that because the world is uncertain, she does not want to make a big deal and just plans to invite a few of her sisters over for a small gathering, but the whole family is still in Ma Sixi's house.
Under his command, the entire princess mansion was cleaned and lanterns were decorated everywhere...
"Oops..."
Princess Li Xiu of Xiangyang was sitting in the hall, looking at the joyful scene around her, and smiled narrowly.
"Look at the surroundings. Those who know it is my third wife's birthday are celebrating her birthday. Those who don't know think that my third wife is having some happy event today!"
"Second sister, what are you talking about again?"
Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang, who was sitting at the top, was holding a wine glass and looking at her sister calmly.
"What happy event can I have..."
"It's hard to say."
Princess Li Xiu of Xiangyang said.
"For example, it is possible to find a person who is as beautiful as pearls and jade to do something to make the breeze flutter, pierce the palace, or hit the flower room with a pestle. What do you think, sisters?"
"Well said!"
At this time, Princess Gaomi no longer had the magnanimous and magnanimous princess demeanor she had in Yunzhong City, but said with a smile.
"It seems to me that although the Third Lady is sitting here, she still doesn't know what she is thinking in her heart! But it's no wonder, who can look at such a beautiful person and not be tempted! Do you think so,
Fifth sister!”
At this time, Princess Changguang lost her shyness and answered very frankly.
"That's right. The subtlety is indeed like the jade tree and the orchid, which makes people forget about the vulgar world."
"How many of you..."
Princess Linhai, who was sitting next to her with a bulging belly, covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled softly.
"Stop thinking blindly. No matter how good-looking Qingwei is, she belongs to the third sister alone and has nothing to do with you!"
"This is what makes people sad..."
Princess Xiangyang held her cheek with her hand and said with a fascinated look on her face.
"Such fair and smooth skin, I don't know how it feels to the touch. Third sister is not willing to share it. If the slave family can hold her and sleep all night... Fifth sister, where are you doing?"
"Write poetry!"
Princess Changguang put down the pen in her hand and said with a smile.
"Today is the third sister's birthday. Isn't it natural for the younger sister to write a poem to celebrate?"
"Thank you so much, Fifth Sister!"
Although Li Xiuning, the third wife, felt that something was wrong with Princess Changguang's smile, she still nodded politely and then said to the maid on the side.
"Go and bring the poem manuscript to me!"
"etc!"
Princess Xiangyang jumped out, ran to Princess Changguang before the maid, and picked up the poem.
"First let me see what poem the fifth sister wrote... Poof!"
Before she finished speaking, Princess Xiangyang burst out laughing. Then she held the poem manuscript in both hands, raised it high, and showed it to the other princesses.
"Everyone of you, look at the poem written by the fifth lady to the third lady!"
Several princesses present raised their heads at the same time, their eyes falling on the poem manuscript.
"On a sunny day, the rain rises on the blue bridge, and the colorful sleeves embrace Zi Qiao. The swallows return to their nests by the peach blossom stream, crushing the flowers on the moon shadow... Poof!"
All the princesses present except the third lady burst into laughter.
"Wow hahaha... what a smash to pieces on Yueying's hair!"
