In the early morning, people patrolled the streets to tell the time, and the city gates opened one after another.
A fast horse galloped into Chang'an.
The knight holds a flag.
"Great victory!"
"Mihara's Great Victory!"
"General Wei Chigong, the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou Road march, and General Wu Huaiyu, the commander of Zuo Qianniu's Shenji Camp, led three thousand light cavalry last night to attack five thousand Turks at Sanyuan Longqiao Fort, and killed a total of three thousand prisoners. It was a great victory!
When captured alive, Asdewu didn’t even sip it. He was so hot and cold that he lost his rank!”
The flag held high by the knight was actually a piece of cloth with last night's victory written on it.
Wu Hou, who was at the street shop at the city gate, heard this and shouted excitedly, "Damn thief, this battle has been fought happily, please give up quickly and make way for the envoy to report the victory."
The Xiaowei patrol also personally opened the way for him.
After hearing the good news, Wuhou, the patrolmen, and the villagers all began to take the initiative to loudly publicize the good news and tell the people in the neighborhood as soon as possible.
East Palace.
Li Shimin was holding a morning court.
Wei Zheng, the minister Zuocheng, went out to impeach Yuchi Gong and Xiao Yu, who had quarreled and even fought at the court meeting yesterday. He believed that Xiao Yu had no prime ministerial bearing, had no regard for the emperor, and was disrespectful to the emperor. As a general, Yu Chigong could not be above
Committing it is also disrespectful to the emperor.
"I request that Zuo Pushe Xiao Yu and You Wuhou General Wei Chi Gong be dismissed from their official positions and titles, so that they can reflect on their mistakes behind closed doors."
"As an important minister of the Purple Gold, it is increasingly necessary to set an example for the other ministers. How could it be so disrespectful and unruly..."
Wei Zheng was slobbering and impassioned.
Li Shimin was a little absent-minded and responded with uh-oh and ah-ah from time to time. This reaction angered Wei Zheng, and he began to criticize and remonstrate with the emperor.
"If the king is not the king, then the ministers will not be the ministers..."
The more Wei Zheng talked, the more he went overboard, and Li Shimin's face became more and more ugly.
Just when the emperor was about to explode, Zhang Ananda, the chamberlain supervisor, approached the emperor and whispered softly, "Your Majesty, the palace gate reported victory. Last night, 3,200 cavalry led by General Yuchi and Wu Qianniu attacked the five Turkic troops at Sanyuan Longqiao.
Thousands of men and horses were defeated, and a thousand and five were beheaded, a thousand and a half were captured, countless cattle, horses and alpacas were seized, and Qi Jin, the special Qin and three other people were captured alive..."
Li Shimin, who was full of anger, widened his eyes when he heard the news.
"Hahaha!"
The emperor laughed, and his hearty laughter spread throughout the hall.
"Why is Your Majesty laughing? Is my advice ridiculous?" Wei Zheng was angry and asked the emperor with a livid face.
Li Shimin no longer argued with Wei Zheng at this moment. He waved his hand and said, "My dear friends, I have good news to tell you. Last night, Wei Chigong won a great victory in Sanyuan, defeating five thousand enemies and capturing three soldiers.
Thousands of people.”
"Another lesson to the Turkic wolf cub."
The emperor laughed very loudly, even a little proudly.
Wei Zheng stood in the palace, stunned.
He was making great efforts to impeach Yu Chi Gong, but here Yu Chi Gong had made a great contribution? He couldn't help but think of the last time he impeached Wu Huaiyu, but the next day the emperor rewarded Wu Huaiyu with a mansion, which was right next door to his house.
Li Shimin no longer looked directly at Wei Zheng, treating him as if he was nothing. He ordered the envoy to report the victory to be summoned to the palace, and directly presented himself in the palace to report the victory in person.
The envoy sent back by Yuchi Gong to report the victory was Shi Weisiren, the Marquis of Huanggua County and the commander of the Shenji Battalion. They all said that Yuchi Gong was brave but without any plan, and that he was fat and brainless. In fact, Yuchi Gong was not really brainless.
They sent someone back to report the victory, but they did not send their own son back. Instead, they sent Wei Siren, Jingzhao Wei's son, the brother of Wei Zhaoyi who was newly named by the emperor, and the cousin of Concubine Wei.
In last night's battle, Wei Siren had been following Wu Huaiyu, and he had contributed a lot. Although the eight cavalrymen of the Wei family had been guarding the group, Wei Siren was also good at riding and shooting. After all, his great-grandfather was Wei Xiaokuan, the God of War, and he was also looking at the opportunity.
Shot down several Turkic soldiers.
His family ordered every Turkic soldier Wei Siren shot down to be killed and beheaded, so that when the credits were finally counted, Wei Siren showed seven heads to the soldiers, all of which were recorded in his name.
"Shi Shenji, commander of the battalion, Wei Siren, the Marquis of Huanggua County, pays homage to our emperor!"
"Without courtesy, let me tell you the details of last night's victory!"
Wei Siren is not only good at riding and shooting, but his eloquence is even better. He is a son of a famous family and is taught by a famous teacher. He is very eloquent. Even when he is standing in the palace, he does not have any stage fright, but talks eloquently.
In fact, there was nothing exciting about the battle last night. It was just a matter of charging. However, Wei Siren could say that it was full of ups and downs. He praised the bravery of generals Yu Chigong, Liang Jianfang, Gao Zhensheng, and Wu Huaiyu without hesitation.
By the way, he mentioned the seventh level of Zhanzhan.
Li Shimin couldn't help but nod his head and glanced at Wei Zheng from time to time.
Didn't you just say that Yu Chigong was useless?
Weren't you still clinging to Wu Huaiyu before?
Now it proves that I still have a good vision and know people well and make good use of them.
When the emperor is happy, he will reward the meritorious officials generously.
The reward cannot be overdue.
Especially now, rewards are increasingly needed to boost morale.
Li Shimin has always been generous with rewards and rewards for merit. Although Li Shimin is not as good as Li Yuan in this regard, he is definitely much better than his cousin Yang Guang.
Previously, Yuchi Gong had made great contributions to the Xuanwu Gate, and Li Shimin directly rewarded him with 10,000 bolts of silk, and also rewarded him with all the property of Li Yuanji's Qi Kingdom Division, allowing Yuchi Laohei to jump onto the Chang'an rich list.
"Zhongshu ordered Fang Xuanling to prepare an imperial edict for me, to confer on me the title of General of the Zhenjun Army, Wei Chigong, the Commander-in-Chief of the Jingzhou Road Marching Army, and to the title of Duke of Wu.
The general manager Liang Jianfang conferred the title of male from Yanmen County, and Gao Zhensheng conferred the title of male from Yichang County. Each was given a thousand pieces of silk and two slaves.
He escorted Qianqi to the envoy, Zuo Qianniu, Wu Huaiyu, Jin Dynasty, and was granted the title of Kaiguozi of Wenshui County. He was promoted to the second rank and was given a thousand pieces of silk and two slaves."
"Shi Wei Siren, commander of Qianqi Battalion, was promoted to the second level and was given a hundred pieces of silk."
"Wei Zheng, is my reward appropriate?"
Li Shimin asked Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng did not show weakness, "Your Majesty, I think the reward is too much. Although Yu Chigong succeeded in defeating the enemy last night, he could only defeat 5,000 Turkic tribes. There were no more than 3,000 warriors among them. He defeated 5,000 enemies with 3,200 cavalry. This is
A battle can at best be regarded as a victory in the battle.
But to directly grant the title of Duke and increase the title of General is too much."
"Generals Liang Jianfang and Gao Zhensheng are only sub-in-charges. Even if they serve as pioneers, they can only be promoted to the second level. How can they be knighted?"
"Wu Huaiyu led 200 Shenji battalions to participate in the war, but why did he become Viscount Jinxian?
How can official positions, titles, and national treasures be granted in such an indiscriminate manner? I beg your Majesty to take it back."
Li Shimin chuckled, as if he had expected Wei Zheng to say this, so he didn't care and ignored it at all. He just asked Fang Xuanling to read the edict written by the palace to everyone, and then handed it to the minister in charge of the province for sealing.
Let Shangshu Province send it out.
After these arrangements were made, Li Shimin said to the ministers: "Wu Huaiyu didn't just bring two hundred divine machine battalions and thousands of cavalry to do battle last night. Wu Huaiyu had the merit of providing advice and great merit."
He blocked Wei Zheng's mouth with a simple sentence. He made it very clear that in last night's battle, Yuchi Gong was the one who led the troops, but it was Wu Huaiyu who made the suggestions. What's more, Wu Huaiyu also led the charge last night.
When the country is in crisis, we miss our good generals,
The current situation requires ministers like Wu Huaiyu and Yuchi Gong who can truly share the emperor's worries, rather than the troll Wei Zheng who will oppose whatever the emperor says.
After the happy Li Shimin ended his morning court, he specially summoned Ashina Simo, Zhi Losi Si Li, Ashina Association and Kang Sumi.
The emperor proudly told them the good news of last night's victory.
"Ashi Dewu, Rehan Special Qin, and Qi Lu Special Qin will come to Beijing to meet you soon,"
Several people looked at each other in disbelief.
Jieli was in Yunyang, and he sent Asdewu Wushu to lead five thousand troops to Sanyuan Longqiao, which was only twenty or thirty miles away, to wipe out a village. Such a simple thing was actually defeated, and the Tang people were under the nose.
Kill people?
How can this be?
But there was no reason for the emperor to lie to them about this kind of thing. What could he gain by lying to them?
After Li Shimin showed off to them, he sent them back to Menxia Province and continued to lock them up, but he specifically told them to improve their food and provide them with a sheep for three days.
The Special Qin Ashina Association was left behind.
"Tuli Khan Shibobi and I have been brothers for a long time. He is my younger brother, and you are Tuli's biological brother. So you are also my brother." Li Shimin sat on the couch and said to the somewhat uneasy
Jiusheer had a smile on his face.
But this smile made Jishe'er goosebumps. When he first came to Chang'an, he was quite arrogant. He felt that the Han people were being ravaged by the Turks, and he felt that he was superior. But at the north gate, Wu Huaiyu whipped him with a ceremonial knife.
, much more honest.
Several teeth were removed, and now he can barely speak. The bridge of his nose is completely crooked after being severed.
He was locked up in the province and ate vegetarian food and drank porridge every day. I had never suffered this crime before in association with a society. He was also frightened by the Tang people at every turn. He didn't even get a good night's sleep. He was really afraid that he would be dragged out and executed one day.
I just heard that Jie Li had been defeated again, and I became more and more pessimistic, thinking that I might never have the chance to escape Chang'an City in this life.
Li Shimin smiled and chatted with him for a while, saying that he and Jieli were sworn brothers and he could be considered his younger brother. Then he awarded him the position of Zhonglang General of the Left Army, a house in Chang'an, and ten Turkic slaves.
"Jian Zhang, I will ask the imperial doctor from Shang Yao Bureau to heal the nose of Er Zhonglang, General of the Association, and then replace the missing teeth with gold."
When Jiushe'er was taken out of the palace, he was still confused.
Why did Emperor Tang become polite to him after winning the battle? Shouldn't he be more arrogant and despise them even more?
Zhang Anan was taken to Shang Yao Bureau, and his crooked nose was pinched and broken by the white-bearded old imperial doctor. He was in so much pain that he burst into tears. After the old man pinched it, he straightened it again and applied medicine. Finally,
Another old man, the royal doctor, gave him five more gold teeth.
The old imperial doctor set it up and gave him a bronze mirror.
You opened your mouth, and a few big gold teeth were shining like gold. Now there was no air leakage, and there was still a little sparkle.
After leaving Shang Yao Bureau, he was taken to Xicheng. The emperor gave him a new house, and ten slaves who had been rewarded also arrived.
You looked at all this as if you were dreaming.
Sitting in the house, listening to the people outside cheering for Mihara's victory, Jisheer and the ten Turkic slaves stared at each other.
Until the afternoon, an official who claimed to be Zuowei Zhonglang General Cui Dunli arrived and talked with him for a long time. Cui Dunli asked him to write a letter to his brother Tuli Khan. Cui Dunli would take the letter to the Turkic camp and hand it over at that time.
To Tuli Khan.
"The special agent will heal his nose here first. After the injury has healed over time, I will send the special agent back to Tuli Khan Camp."
Ashina Club suddenly realized that Li Shimin was so kind to him because he wanted to contact his brother Tuli Khan.
"My injury is fine. I can take you to my brother's camp now."
"It's better to recover first. After leaving Chang'an City, there may not be such good doctors in the Turkic camps. You don't want your nose to be crooked in the future, right?" Cui Dunli said with a smile.
Ashina was unwilling to accept it and asked again, "The guard who broke my nose last time and knocked out five of my teeth..."
Without waiting for him to make any excessive demands, Cui Dunli said directly: "That is the famous man in front of your majesty, Zuo Qianniu, the military envoy of Aishenji, Huaiyu, a male warrior in Daling County. Yesterday, he won a great victory. He has made great achievements and has just been awarded the title of Grand Master by the Jin Dynasty."
The son of Ling County was promoted to the second level and received the first rank of honors.
Your Majesty also said that what happened before was just a misunderstanding. After Wu County Prince returns to Beijing, he will be asked to come and visit Special Qin. I forgot to mention that this County Prince is also a miracle doctor. If Special Qin’s nose is restored by then
If it’s not very good, you can ask him to help correct it.”
Cui Dunli told him clearly, don't think that you can handle it if the emperor asks you to write a letter to Tu Li, let alone take the opportunity to demand punishment for Wu Huaiyu, who is the emperor's confidant.
