Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

On the east side of Zhuque Street outside Chang'an City.

Cao Du Xingmin, a Qizhou soldier, put on his armor, led his soldiers, pulled dozens of prison carts, and escorted many rebel soldiers to the direction of the imperial city.

People on the street gathered around both sides of the road to watch the excitement.

"This is Qi Wang Li You, who was arrested for rebellion."

"Eh? Didn't the emperor not send troops? How did the rebellion be suppressed?"

"The fact that Chang'an City did not send troops does not mean that other places did not send troops."

"Yes, it may be soldiers from other places."

"There are hundreds of thousands of troops guarding Youzhou and Liaodong in the north of Qizhou."

The people in Chang'an City thought that Li Shimin had mobilized troops from Youzhou to put down Li You's rebellion.

The people were talking about it, and the prison car walked slowly through Zhuque Street, and Du Xingmin stopped in front of Zhuque's gate.

Li Jing led troops to guard the door, and Yu Chigong was beside him.

The two of them were waiting at the Suzaku Gate.

The inside of the Suzaku gate is the forbidden area, so the two of them waited here.

"Du Bingcao, we are here to welcome you."

Li Jing and Yu Chi bowed respectfully.

The two of them are heroes of the founding of the country, with high positions and weights, they actually greeted them in person.

Du Xingmin is not a person who doesn't know how to praise, so he immediately got off his horse and returned to worship: "Your official is nothing more than a soldier, how dare you accept such a great gift."

The grade gap was too big, and Du Xingmin panicked.

Li Jing said: "Du Bingcao made such a great contribution, why worry about not being rich."

This is true.

Du Xingmin quelled the rebellion by himself without a single soldier from the imperial court, and this credit is enough to make him a Marquis.

"The responsibility lies, why dare to say credit."

Du Xingmin said modestly.

Li Jing and Yu Chigong nodded, lamenting that the people Su Yu picked were really different.

If it were someone else, his nose would have been turned upside down long ago.

"According to the emperor's imperial decree, only the common people Li You, Yin Hongzhi, and Yin Hongliang are allowed to enter, and the others will be sent to death row."

Li Jing said.

Du Xingmin bowed: "When we arrive in Chang'an, everything will be handled by the two generals."

Du Xingmin took out King Qi's seal and soldier talisman from his body and handed it to Li Jing, but he didn't take anything.

Yu Chigong thought to himself: This Du Xingmin is a smart person.

Li Jing accepted the seal and asked the eunuch beside him to hold it, but his own hand.

"Du Bingcao come with me."

Li Jing and Yu Chigong led Du Xingmin, and Li You was escorted in by Qianniuwei.

After entering the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin sat high on it.

Civil and military officials were divided into two sides, and Lao Chen stood on the right, nodding slightly to Du Xingmin.

"My humble minister Du Xingmin, long live my emperor, long live long live."

Du Xingmin paid homage.

Just now at the gate of the Tai Chi Hall, he took off his armor and knife.

Courtiers are not allowed to enter the palace wearing armor and holding a knife, unless they are powerful officials like Cao thief, they can enter the court without admiration and praise.

Li Shimin nodded slightly on the stage and said, "Pingshen."

Du Xingmin stood up and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The three of Li You were tied up with ropes and stood in the hall like zongzi.

"Cao Du Xingmin, a soldier in Qizhou, is talented and loyal to the court. He put down the rebellion with his own strength, and he has made great contributions."

"I sealed you as."

Li Shimin thought that Du Xingmin should be granted the title of title.

It stands to reason that Su Yu picked Du Xingmin out, and Su Yu should figure out what he will achieve in the future.

Li Shimin turned to look at Old Chen
The ministers of the DPRK and China and Du Xingmin waited for Li Shimin to speak, and halfway through the speech, they fell silent.

The ministers were baffled and didn't know why Li Shimin lost the chain halfway.

Knowing the situation, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also turned to look at Lao Chen.

This is embarrassing, Lao Chen remembered that Su Yu said that he would confer Du Xingmin some kind of official title.

At that time, Su Yu said that Du Xingmin will be a prince in the future, so you don't have to be polite.

But the ministers were all there, so it was not easy for him to go up and tell Li Shimin.

Du Xingmin waited impatiently for Li Shimin's distribution.
The atmosphere is very awkward
Li Shimin knocked on the dragon chair to give Lao Chen a hint.

Then Lao Chen gestured a few times with his fingers, and Li Shimin watched the gesture with a mysterious smile on his face.

Li Shimin coughed a few times, and said: "I named you the Duke of Nanyang County, and the governor of Yizhou Metropolitan Government.

Du Xingmin was conferred the rank of Minister of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion from the seventh rank in one fell swoop, and the title of Duke of Nanyang County.

It can be said to be a step up to the sky.

Du Xingmin was overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed and said: "I thank the emperor for his grace, long live long live long live long live."

The ministers of the DPRK and China were envious.

Du Xingmin is only in his 30s, so young.

Although these ministers have official ranks, they are quite old.

They were very envious of Du Xingmin being favored by Su Yu.

Sure enough, it was good to lean against the big tree Su Yu to enjoy the shade.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui didn't envy Du Xingmin, they were already extremely powerful ministers.

They wondered how Li Shimin and Lao Chen communicated, just a few gestures?

"Do you understand his gesture?"

Fang Xuanling asked Du Ruhui in a low voice.

"I don't understand, I don't understand."

Du Ruhui shook his head and said.

Suddenly, they feel like outsiders.

Li Shimin and Lao Chen have their own little secret.

They are jealous.

Li Shimin nodded slightly, and said, "Be flat."

Du Xingmin stood up and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The minister next to him cupped his hands and congratulated:
"Congratulations to Mr. Du for being knighted."

"Congratulations, young and promising."

"From now on, he will be an official in the same dynasty."

Apart from Di Renjie, Du Xingmin was the youngest in the hall.

Old Chen said with a smile: "Xiao Du, work hard, the emperor will not treat you badly."

Du Xingmin was very grateful to see Lao Chen again.

"It's all supported by the young master. If it wasn't for the young master's orders, how could he be as rich as he is today?"

It's not easy to say much in the hall, Du Xingmin thanked him with his hand and stood aside.

After the reward, it was Li You's turn.

Li Shimin looked at the three Li You standing in the middle, and shouted angrily: "Nizi, I gave you Qizhou, but you conspired against him."

"Say, how did I treat you badly?"

Li You plopped on the ground, grabbed the ground with his head, and cried, "Father, it was my uncle who provoked me, saying that my father has many heirs, if I don't have soldiers and horses, I can't guarantee that I won't be killed."

"That's why I recruited soldiers and bought horses to protect myself. I just did it to protect myself."

Li You poured all the dirty water on Yin Hongzhi.

It was true that Yin Hongzhi and his two instigated his rebellion at the time, but he also had his own ideas.

The Turks told him that Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou would die on the Ghost Festival, and Chang'an City was in chaos.

At this time, if you rebel, you can get the throne.

Li You was moved, so he sent troops to Qizhou.

But what happened later was completely different from what he had imagined.

He thought that the Wuzhou soldiers and horses would respond to him, but who knew that no one would pay attention to him.

Moreover, Du Xingmin held Qizhou's officers and soldiers firmly in his hands.

The ones Li You recruited were all rogues and rogues, who had no fighting power at all.

Thinking about it now, Li You felt that Su Yu was responsible for his failure.

If Su Yu hadn't placed Du Xingmin in Qizhou, he wouldn't have lost so badly.

Lost without fighting a single battle.

Hearing Li You's sophistry, Li Shimin sneered and said, "You push it all the way."

"I ask you, did you kill Quan Wanji?"

Shi Quan Wanji, Governor of Qi Prefecture, who was hand-picked by Li Shimin, was shot to death by Li You's random arrows.

"It's what the two of them did, and it has nothing to do with Erchen."

Li You shied away.

Li Shimin snorted coldly, "It's pretty clean."

"Do you know why I want to try you in court?"
