Datang New Giants

Chapter 58

In order to have a good meal, Lu Ting had to do it himself in the cold wind. In the Prince Qin's Mansion dozens of miles away, Li Erzheng had a big bowl of wine with his confidants and a big meal of meat, and there were maikos to add to the fun. It was very lively.

The Jingjie Drum has been beaten, and the city gate, square gate, and palace gate of Chang'an are closed one by one. The bustling street is empty except for Marquis Wu, who is patrolling. The curfew has begun. The street is quiet, but the palace of the Prince of Qin is still very lively. In the name of celebrating the victory in the Battle of Wulongban, he entertained his confidantes and cronies in the mansion.

The Turkic Khans Turkic Jieli and Turkic Khan saw that Tang's unification of the country was a foregone conclusion, and most of the separatist forces supported by him were also wiped out, so they poured out all their troops and launched a large-scale invasion of the Central Plains. Li Shimin led his army to meet the enemy at Wulongban (now Fengxiang West, Shaanxi). Li Shimin took advantage of the distrust of the two khans, his excellent strategic vision, amazing courage and superior resourcefulness, and used countermeasures to force him to retreat. Chang'an saved the day.

Second Li's subordinates have always been very generous, and they had won a big victory, so naturally they had to celebrate. Although Li Yuan didn't like ministers forming cliques for personal gain, he could only turn a blind eye to this situation.

The world is not peaceful, the borders are not settled, and the foreign enemies have not yet surrendered. The Tang Dynasty needs a military god like Li Er who is good at fighting big and tough battles. Otherwise, Li Yuan would have transferred Li Shimin to other places, so that he would not always be with the prince Li Jiancheng. Fight to the death.

After drinking and eating, Li Er waved his hand, turned away the kabuki, maiko and court ladies and eunuchs who were adding to the fun, and said with a smile: "This time, we have captured a batch of high-quality horses. Everyone present has a share." , each rewards five horses."

Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Yuchi Jingde, Qin Shubao and others quickly thanked them.

It is good to follow a master like the King of Qin. If there is any good thing, I want my subordinates. I don’t know how many things are rewarded throughout the year. This time I went to Wulongban and captured a batch of high-quality horses. I will reward my subordinates as soon as I come back. Five good horses are worth a lot. It's not much money, but this is King Qin's wish and cannot be measured by money.

King Qin is the military god of the Tang Dynasty, which expedition did not yield anything?
Cheng Yaojin laughed, stood up and winked and said: "Your Majesty, only the horses were seized. Is there any beautiful Turkic lady? Give me some. Riding a Turkic lady is much more interesting than riding a Turkic horse."

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard the words, Li Er pointed at Cheng Yaojin and scolded with a smile: "I only rewarded you four orchids in the middle of the year, and you remember the little Turkic lady so quickly, Cheng Laohei, can you bear it?"

With so many confidants sitting in the hall, only Cheng Yaojin dared to talk to Li Er like this, and Li Er was very tolerant of Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin smiled and said: "My old Cheng has a good mouth, and Han Xin will call on beautiful women. The more the better, anyway, going to Kangzhou is boring. It would be great to bring a few more beauties to help my old Cheng's family grow. "

As soon as the words fell, the lively atmosphere in the lobby suddenly changed, and the smile on Li Er's face also disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

There are many famous generals around Li Er. This is something Li Jiancheng has always envied. A month ago, he sent someone to send Cheng Yaojin a large amount of gold and silver goods. He wanted Cheng Yaojin to work for him. He was loyal and reported the matter to Li Er truthfully. Li Jiancheng failed to bribe him, so he slandered Li Yuanjin, and an imperial decree transferred Cheng Yaojin to Kangzhou as the governor.

After the new year, Cheng Yaojin will go to Kangzhou to take up his post.

Qin Shubao slapped the table suddenly, and said angrily: "Lao Cheng has fought so many battles, shed so much blood, and earned so much military exploits, but because he refused to join the prince, he was sent to a poor village like Kangzhou. What kind of governor is Ye, isn’t this a poor person.”

"That's right." Yuchi Jingde also complained for Cheng Yaojin: "When the war was fought, Brother Cheng was sent to the front line. Now that you are more stable, you will be sent to Kangzhou for a reason. It's unfair, it's too unfair."

Although Cheng Yaojin was a bit rude and sometimes liked to make some exaggerated jokes, he got along well with everyone and was willing to stand up for his friends when something happened. Everyone went to Kangzhou to express their dissatisfaction. Better yet, a little south of Kangzhou is Lianzhou and Leizhou. This is not emigration, but exile.

Li Er smiled wryly, stood up and walked in front of Cheng Yaojin, reached out and patted his strong shoulder, and comforted him: "Zhijie, I know that you are unwilling, but the matter has come to an end, so let's go to Kangzhou for a while , if there is a chance, this king will call you back immediately."

This matter was planned by Li Jiancheng when he was leading the army abroad. When Li Er knew about it, the imperial decree was issued and the procedures of the official department were also gone. Li Er hesitated again and again, and still did not challenge Li Yuan's authority. Now, now is the most critical moment in the battle for the throne, Li Er does not want to make Li Yuan angry.

Cheng Yaojin didn't laugh again, and said seriously: "The prince wants to cut off the prince's left and right arms by doing this, and weaken the prince's power step by step. My old Cheng has lived enough in this life, and the worst is death. If the prince doesn't want to find a way to get himself Bao, let the prince do whatever he wants, the consequences will be disastrous."

"My lord, I don't care about the old Cheng's rude words." Duan Zhixuan echoed: "When the lord is fighting bloody battles, what is the prince doing? Every time the Tang Dynasty is in crisis, it is the lord who comes forward. Exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is exhausted, and the running dog cooks?"

Seeing that Li Er hesitated, Qin Shubao couldn't help but said, "Wei Zheng of the Crown Prince's Mansion proposed to move the Prince Qin's Mansion out of Chang'an in June. If it wasn't for the battle at Wulongban, the prince might have already left Chang'an." , we old brothers have also been dismantled, the prince needs to be careful."

Li Er looked a little dignified, turned his head to look at Fang Xuanling, and asked, "Xuanling, how is the situation in the palace?"

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said: "It's not good to go back to the prince. Now the palace is full of people who belong to the prince, even the emperor's most trusted concubine Yin De and Zhang Jieyu are all speaking for the prince. Shubao is right. If it weren't for the prince The battle at Wulongban will definitely get worse."

"Prince" Du Ruhui opened his mouth to report: "The prince and King Qi have always been friends with the concubines in the palace. Every time they enter the palace, they have to use a cart to bring gifts. When the prince sacrificed his life to charge the trap for Datang, the harem only said that the prince is good. , His Majesty's ears are soft, if you don't do anything, I'm afraid the prince's situation will be even more difficult."

The foreign enemy's invasion of the country was originally a matter of common hatred, but it did not expect to become the life-saving straw of the King of Qin. It is a bit ironic to say it.

Li Er thought for a while, and finally laughed, patted Cheng Yaojin on the shoulder again, and said confidently: "Don't talk about these heroes short of breath, Zhijie, the good life has just begun, and the glory and wealth are still waiting for you to enjoy. Isn't it just to go to Kangzhou, and it's not that you can't come back, just relax, and I will take care of the big things."

Speaking of the latter part, Li Er's tone was extremely resolute, and there was an invincible will in his words. Everyone present was infected by Li Er's self-confidence and will, with smiles on their faces and fighting spirit rekindled in their eyes. , if Lu Ting was here, he would definitely say with a sigh that this is showing domineering.

Cheng Yaojin chuckled, turned around and hugged Li Er's leg, and said loudly: "Everyone should be a witness, the king of Qin can say that prosperity and wealth are waiting for me, old Cheng. With the words of the king of Qin, I, old Cheng, will hug Li Er's leg from now on." Prince, don’t let me go if you don’t give me glory and wealth.”

What I said just now is to remind, and to show loyalty. King Qin didn’t express his position, it was out of consideration for family ties. Now it seems that King Qin’s Mansion is not as beautiful as the Prince’s Mansion, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that King Qin’s Mansion is now the mainstay of the Tang Dynasty , as long as the world is not peaceful and foreign enemies are not convinced, the Tang Dynasty needs a God of War like King Qin, not only the Tang Dynasty needs it, but the emperor also needs it. A few years ago, a minister said that the King Qin was old and should go out of Chang'an to set up a mansion in other places according to the law , but Li Yuan just disagreed.

From Li Yuan's point of view, with Li Er present, the city of Chang'an can be safe, and only with Li Er present, can Li Yuan be safe in the palace.

Li Er has never given up on the position of prince, and has been fighting for it. If he goes any further, he will launch a palace change. He will not take this step unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Fuck off, I want to take home and hug your orchid." Li Er angrily stretched out his feet, and knocked the shameless Cheng Yaojin to the ground, causing everyone to laugh in unison.

There was Cheng Yaojin making a gag here, and what turned out to be a serious banquet was soon filled with laughter.

Fang Xuanling and the others finished laughing, and reminded: "My lord, the eyeliner said that the prince's mansion attaches great importance to the emperor's birthday banquet, and carefully prepared a lot of gifts, and is planning to bring up the matter of Qin's mansion moving out again at the birthday banquet. My lord It must be guarded against."

Li Yuan's birthday is on November 24th. Because the Turks suddenly sent troops, and the troops were directed at Chang'an. In addition, Li Er led his troops to meet the enemy. Li Yuan decreed to postpone the celebration. Let the people in the Prince's Mansion remember it.

When there was a problem, the king of Qin came out and wanted to cross the river and demolish the bridge as soon as he calmed down. As soon as Fang Xuanling's words came out, everyone became a little bit aggrieved.

Li Er sat down and said calmly: "If it was so easy to move out, this king would not be sitting here long ago. Some clowns are not a problem. How to deal with this king is clear. Father's birthday can't be sloppy. Help me This king thinks about what gift to give to make the emperor happy."

Li Er would be a little scared if he mentioned this in normal times. Now that he has just let the Turks retreat, so much credit is put here. Will it ignite?

When it comes to strategy, Li Er has never been afraid of anyone.

Li Er wasn't worried about attacking himself, but now he was worried about what to give to Li Yuan's birthday party, which should not only be decent, but also meaningful.

As soon as Li Er's voice fell, Zheng Yuanxuan, who had been sitting in the corner and hadn't spoken all this time, suddenly lit up his eyes.

Finally it was my turn.
