Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 104
Luo Bin pursed his lips slightly, sighed softly, and said, "Li Shimin values ​​face the most, and now everyone knows that he begged for peace from the Turks. He may not be able to carry such a heavy burden on his body."

Dou Yinger frowned upon hearing this, "What do you mean? He still wants someone to take the blame?"

"Shouldn't he show some shame? General Yuchi and the others are miserable enough. They ran back from a near-death battlefield and suffered injuries all over their bodies. When they came back, they would still suffer from his uselessness."

Dou Ying'er snorted coldly, and continued: "Now General Yuchi and the others train their troops day and night every day, is it possible that Li Shimin will place this crime on several generals?"

"No." Luo Bin shook his head, then stroked his chin and said, "When General Yuchi and the others just came back, His Majesty has already trained them once, and this time there should be no more old scores."

"After all, no matter how bad they are, they are still military officials. If it is not necessary, Li Shimin will not touch them easily."

Hearing what Luo Bin said, Dou Yinger nodded in reassurance, and after a long time frowned and asked again: "So who could be so unlucky?"

"If I'm not mistaken..."

Luo Bin sighed deeply, then waved to the boy beside him, "Come here, bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

"If my guess is correct, Li Shimin will be the first thing in the future, and I'm afraid he will question the governor of Bingzhou."

After all, Bingzhou is the closest to Turks, and Bingzhou will be the first to find out if Turks have trouble.

But going south is a major Turkic event after all, and it will be done in an extremely secretive manner. If it weren't for the vigilance of his back Wei army who broke into the enemy's interior again, he might not be able to find it.

Moreover, Turkic has been silent for many years, and the governor of Bingzhou will inevitably slack off.

"This……"

Dou Yinger frowned slightly, "But you have already told Li Shimin about the Turkic plan. It is because he himself did not believe you that he suffered, but now he has to blame others?"

"He doesn't have to believe it, but the governor of Bingzhou has to report it."

Luo Bin took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the boy with a sullen face, and then wrote a letter and handed it to the boy, "Send this letter to the Beiwei army camp, and send two people to deliver the letter to the governor of Bingzhou. .”

After saying that, Luo Bin quickly wrote another letter and handed it to the boy again, "You go and give this to Wei Zheng, Mr. Wei."

"Yes." The servant took the two letters, bowed slightly and left.

After the boy left, Luo Bin leaned back on the chair tiredly, sighed softly, "Your Majesty was humiliated in the Wei River, and someone must suffer when he comes back."

"Do you want Lord Wei to save him?" Dou Yinger raised her eyebrows and asked.

Luo Bin nodded in response, "Bingzhou is my territory, and I have a special status. If I beg for mercy directly, I will be suspected of asylum. In addition, Your Majesty is very afraid of me, and I wish I could cut off all my arms. If I beg for mercy, I will be afraid." It’s just the opposite.”

"As for the court and I, there are only a few generals and Mr. Wei who are still on good terms with me. The generals are already like mud bodhisattvas, and the only one who can say a few words by His Majesty's side is probably Mr. Wei. .”

Dou Yinger frowned worriedly when she heard the words, "Master Wei is also from the former prince's former department, will Li Shimin listen to him?"

Luo Bin shook his head, "I have no idea, but I always have to try."

After all, Wei Zheng was a famous figure who was deeply trusted by Li Shimin in history, but now that Li Shimin has just ascended the throne, Wei Zheng's status in Li Shimin's heart may not be that high yet.

…………

Wei House.

After receiving Luo Bin's letter, Wei Zheng opened it immediately, and frowned slightly after seeing the contents of the letter.

Then he sighed softly and said to Luo Bin's servant: "Go back and tell Lord Hou, I will do my best."

"Thank you, Master Wei."

The boy leaned slightly towards Wei Zheng, and then left.

"Master, why did Marquis Wu ask you to help?"

Seeing this, Wei Zheng's wife Pei frowned slightly and asked softly.

Although the Pei family can be regarded as the first wife of a minister who has consolidated the imperial court, her attire is extremely plain, perhaps not as good as that of ordinary families.

Wei Zheng nodded when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice: "Master Hou said that after returning to Chang'an, His Majesty may find trouble with the governor of Bingzhou, please advise and protect."

After hearing Wei Zheng's words, the creases between Pei's brows deepened a bit, and she couldn't help but said, "Master, who is the emperor going to punish and how can you stop him?"

"Plus your identity is so special, you are lucky to escape and ascend to heaven, how can you have the energy to save others?"

Wei Zheng knew that Madam was worried about him, so he lightly patted Pei's hand and comforted him, "But it's too late for me to escape and ascend to heaven. Marquis Wu risked his life to save me. Now that he has something to ask, how can I shirk it?"

"Besides, what Marquis Wu said in this letter is justified. Although the governor of Bingzhou is guilty of dereliction of duty, the original crime can't lead to death."

"Besides, as an admonishing official of the imperial court, the old man should share the concerns of the imperial court and prevent His Majesty from doing wrong."

Pei's headache was even worse when she heard the words, and she pursed her lips slightly and said: "Master, I know what you said in my heart, but I am afraid that you will anger His Majesty again, I really can't stand you going to prison again. "

The last time Wei Zheng was imprisoned because of Li Shimin's ascension to the throne, this incident caused a lot of psychological shadow to Mrs. Pei.

"Ma'am, you can't be unrighteous, let alone lose your bottom line." Wei Zheng patted Pei's hand, frowned and said, "After the old man came out of Feilu, he focused all his attention on Tang. It is true that he was negligent at this time, but he has managed Bingzhou in an orderly manner over the years, and he is a rare good official."

"If His Majesty really killed the governor of Bingzhou out of impulsiveness, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of countless ministers."

Wei Zheng sighed softly. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Great Tang defeat was inseparably related to Li Shimin's stubbornness. If Li Shimin insisted on letting innocent people take the blame in order to get rid of the crime, it would surely chill the hearts of many people.

Mrs. Pei shook her head when she heard the words, and finally sighed, "I can't persuade you all this time, I just hope that the master can be careful and know how to be alone when necessary."

"You are not just a courtier of Tang Dynasty, you are also the pillar of this family."

Having said that, Pei secretly wiped away tears.

Wei Zheng was stubborn by nature and had a stubborn temper, so he was not a good match. She also knew that Li Shimin would not like Wei Zheng too much, not to mention that Wei Zheng was once Li Jiancheng's former department.

If Wei Zheng doesn't avoid his edge and encounters Li Shimin's Ni Lin repeatedly, she is really afraid that they will repeat the same mistakes.

"The old man knows, Madam don't worry."

Wei Zheng comforted softly: "Although Your Majesty is a bit stubborn, he is also a reasonable person. As long as I talk to him well, he should not make things difficult for me."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Pei glanced at Wei Zheng indifferently, but finally said nothing.
