In the Hall of Wude, in front of many maids, Princess Qi was slapped to the ground. Li Yuanji resisted the urge to step forward and kick her. After all, she was the daughter of the Yang family of Hongnong and the niece of Zhongshu Ling Yang Gongren.
"idiot!"
Li Yuanji waved his hand to the maid to leave. After enduring it again and again, he still couldn't bear it any longer. He kicked the desk over with a flying kick. Princess Qi on the ground shrank into a ball in fear. She knew that this husband... never regarded human life as anything. Something happened.
Apart from hunting, Li Yuanji's favorite trick was to make maids and slaves wear armor and stab each other, causing serious casualties. Chen Shanyi, who single-handedly brought them up, only gave some advice, but was killed by Li Yuanji.
Everyone knows that the only person who is expected to inherit the great treasure is the prince, King Qin. Li Shimin fought in the south and north, and he conquered most of the world with his own hands. Although Li Jiancheng had no military exploits, he assisted in the government affairs, treated virtuous corporals, and was the eldest son... But under Li Jiancheng From Yuan Ji's point of view, the biggest thing he and his two brothers have in common is that they are both legitimate sons.
The monk can touch it, but I can't?
Attached to the East Palace, Li Yuanji never gave up his desire for the crown prince's position. He secretly cultivated power and never stopped recruiting people.
Since the Shandong War, Li Shan, who was unwilling to get involved in the fight for the legitimate heir, had the favor of Li Yuan, and was backed by Princess Pingyang who was in charge of the Beiya Imperial Army, came into Li Yuanji's sight. For this reason, he secretly took action, but unfortunately he did not can succeed.
When Li Shan took charge of the governor's office with a long history, Li Yuanji made up his mind. Although Li Shan refused to marry the Yang family of Hongnong, Li Yuanji was not angry... He also thought about how to win over Li Shan. Good thing, it's a pity that all this is now in vain.
Regarding Dongshan Temple, everyone knows that Princess Qi hates Li Huairen deeply. No matter how Li Yuanji recruits her, it will have no effect.
Various thoughts were swirling in his mind, and Li Yuanji said coldly: "I have been ordered by King Wu Gu not to step out of Wude Hall!"
After saying these words, Li Yuanji hurried to Liangyi Palace. Before he entered, he heard the long laughter of Li Yuan and the congratulations of Li Jiancheng and several ministers.
"How?" Li Yuan put down the battle report and laughed: "He is the best in the world!"
"If you want to drive away the light cavalry, the heavy snow will cover your bow and sword." Chen Shuda said with a smile: "Huairen's works often use scenes to describe people's feelings, but this work directly expresses his heart and is full of heroism."
"Both Li Yaoshi and Li Huairen were raised by their father, and both the Northern and Southern wars ended with great victories." Li Jiancheng joked and said, "My father is really wise."
Li Yuan stroked his beard and smiled, feeling proud in his heart, "Huairen took too many risks before he arrived to take office as a general. However, the battle report mentioned that Daizhou Commander Zhu Yichen rushed to Yanmen Pass to accompany the army out of the fortress..."
Li Jiancheng added: "There is still Zhang Baoxiang, sent by the younger brother of the King of Rencheng, who bravely charged into the formation and was hit by dozens of arrows. He was like a hedgehog and still refused to retreat."
"Daozong is appointed as the general manager of Bingzhou..." Li Shimin suddenly interrupted.
Princess Pingyang, who was standing aside, interrupted: "Daizhou's troops are temporarily insufficient. The Turks are attacking Yanmen Pass. Huairen sent a letter asking for help. My father, Xu Bingzhou, sent a partial army to the north."
"That's right." Li Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Also going out to the fortress is Li Kai, the acting county magistrate... Do you remember he is a descendant of the Li family in Longxi?"
"Yes, the third son of Li Keshi, the second guard on the left side of Tiance Mansion, and the nephew of Li Yaoshi."
Li Yuan thought in his mind that just in the East Palace, Tiance Mansion chose one... It makes sense for Daizhou Sima to go with the army, but the county magistrate went with the army to the fortress. Although there is precedent, it is rare.
The overall situation in Jianghuai has been decided. After the great victory at Yanmen, the overnight pursuit was victorious again. The north and south were both settled. Li Yuan felt at ease. He leaned on the couch and smiled and said: "Why should I be rewarded for such a great achievement?"
Needless to say, Li Xiaogong and Li Jing have decided to rebuild Jiangnan Road, but on Daizhou's side... Although the scale of the war is not large, it is of great significance.
This was the first time that the Tang army went out to fight against the Turks since the founding of Li Tang, and it was also the first battle after changing flags, not to mention the great achievement of capturing Yugushe, the only son of Jieli Khan alive.
Prime Minister Pei Ji thought for a while and said, "Give me houses, land, slaves, gold and silver, of course, and the rest..."
Li Jiancheng said loudly: "With such great achievements, I will be promoted to a noble rank and become the Duke of the Jin Dynasty."
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said, "Father, there is no need to say much about Huairen's abilities. He may be the governor of Jin Dynasty."
Li Yuan pondered for a while, and then Princess Pingyang on the side said: "I have already been given the title of County Duke before I was crowned. It is not appropriate to be promoted to the title again. What's more, Shicai's father also said that Huairen's battle was too risky and was not an upright way."
"The land under Daizhou's general jurisdiction over the four states is now vacant. In the future, my father will select and secure an important general. How can he be entrusted with it so easily?"
The Prime Minister below all had strange expressions on his face, and Princess Pingyang, who had always been supporting Li Shan, kept refusing. What's going on?
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin looked at each other and turned to glance at Li Yuanji, who was in the first place... Is Pingyang trying to vent his anger on Huairen?
Sure enough, the next moment, Princess Pingyang said expressionlessly: "Before arriving after hearing the battle report, the clan proposed to confer a title with the title of champion."
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, who is such a bastard?
"Huairen was young and rejected the Hu people from the north. He won the trust of his father, but this was not the way to reserve talents for the country." Princess Pingyang sneered, "Three Hus, speaking of it...the champion Hou Huo Qubing also came from Princess Pingyang's house, so he is very important to the country."
Bar?"
Several prime ministers and ministers were confused. Today is the Lantern Festival, and they had just been summoned to the palace by Li Yuan. Only the extremely well-informed Zhongshu Ling Yang Gongren heard a few words mentioned before leaving... That niece of yours is really not good.
It's so worry-free, it makes a slap in the face.
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin cast sympathetic glances. Li Yuanji's lips trembled and he glanced at the helpless Yang Gongren from the corner of his eye... Princess Qi's parents died early, and she was raised by Yang Gongren and his wife.
"Sanhu?" Li Yuan frowned, "Do you have any grudge against Huairen?"
"There is absolutely no grudge." Li Yuanji's mouth and nose were squeezed into a ball. He took a few steps forward and whispered a few words.
Princess Pingyang scolded her without any courtesy at all: "When "The Theory of Ai Lian" came out, who doesn't know that Huairen and Cui's daughter are the work of heaven? Why are you meddling in this nonsense?!"
Li Shimin glanced at Li Jiancheng opposite him. He knew about this... but he didn't know if Li Jiancheng knew it.
Well, Li Jiancheng really didn't know about Li Yuanji's attempt to act as a matchmaker for Li Shan... He couldn't help but become vigilant. The fourth brother actually wanted to recruit Li Shan. What did he want to do?
Li Yuan had obviously thought of this, and it was reasonable for the boss and the second brother to want to recruit him. After all, Li Shan's status was quite high now, and Shiro actually had his thoughts on it.
After pondering for a long time, Li Yuan said slowly: "Order Huairen to escort Yu Gushe back to the capital, and then discuss the matter of sealing and reward."
After a pause, Li Yuan added: "The imperial edict has ordered Huairen's mother to serve as the fourth-rank commander."
Before the Tang Dynasty, there was no such thing as a royal wife. In the Tang Dynasty, the first-grade mother was regarded as the fourth-grade commander, and the second-grade mother was granted the title of fourth-grade commander.
Although Li Shan was granted the title of County Duke, his official position was only from the fifth rank. The Zhu family was granted the title of the fourth rank County Lord, which was a leapfrog.
Princess Pingyang stopped saying anything, which was one of the reasons why she was so angry today... One was the Zhu family, and the other was Li Shan. Li Shan could not be rewarded, so it would be a good idea to reward his mother instead.
However, Princess Pingyang is also a little worried. What if her father wants to give a posthumous gift to Huairen's father who claimed to have been dead for many years... What should I do?
