Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Don't go out and cause trouble.

Although the dust is barely settled now, it is better not to cause too many unnecessary troubles.

……

On the other side, in the mansion of Wu Wang Li Ke.

Prime Minister Xiao Yu was also invited to come and sit with him, drink tea and chat.

After serving tea to Xiao Yu respectfully, Li Ke said with a trace of dissatisfaction: "Teacher, the King of Peking made such a big mistake this time."

"Killing more than a thousand members of the Cui family in Qinghe, it is too light to be punished for such a small punishment."

"Sometimes, I really can't figure out what Royal Father thinks."

"Why do you have such a preference for Li Qiu, the king of Peking?!"

Listening to his words, Xiao Yu took a sip of tea slowly.

"is it?"

"Why don't I feel that the responsibility is lighter?"

"This time, His Majesty cut off his honorary position in the Shangzhu Kingdom, and cut off his two thousand households."

"Also took back his eight fiefdoms, and cut off the military and political power of the remaining thirteen states."

"For a courtier, is this considered light?"

"I think back then, His Royal Highness was only a fief of officials, so he was already dying, right?"

Seeing that the conversation turned to him, Li Ke immediately waved his hand.

"Teacher, this is different."

"I am the son of my father, the prince of Tang Dynasty."

"And he, Li Qiu, is just a small merchant in Chang'an City."

"If it wasn't because of Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Feng Li, and Wei Ting."

"I'm afraid he is still running his tavern in Chang'an Chengdong City!"

"Furthermore, Father's punishment for him this time seems to be severe, but when you think about it carefully, it's nothing more than a pretense."

"Let's talk about the honor of Shangzhu Kingdom first. It sounds good, but it is of no practical use."

"There are also two thousand households in the food town."

"Now in the entire Chang'an City, the entire Tang Dynasty, who doesn't know that he is the King of Beiping, and that he has money in the Furong Garden?"

"One day, the tea in his Furong Garden and the Furong Restaurant won't make a lot of money every day?"

"I'm afraid that these two thousand households may not be appreciated by others."

"I think, if the emperor really wants to punish him severely, it's better to lure that tea back."

"Give it to other people, so that you can somewhat punish them."

"As for the eight states including Qingzhou and Zizhou that were taken back, they were originally rewarded just this year."

"It has always been under the control of the nobles."

"Now that such a big incident has happened, why do I feel that this is actually helping Li Qiu and protecting him?"

"As for the military and political power in the thirteen prefectures of Youzhou, that's even more nonsense."

"Who doesn't know that Zhang Yungu is Li Qiu's absolute confidant?"

"There's also Cheng Zhijie. This time, in order to help Li Qiu, he even offended his in-laws, the Cui family of Yanzhou, to death."

"Right now, Emperor Father is nominally cutting off Li Qiu's military and political power, but in fact, the thirteen prefectures of Youzhou, as well as those troops, don't belong to his family?"

Chapter 598 The Devil, Fan Xing with Six Fingers

Listening to Wu Wang Li Ke's words, Xiao Yu said slowly: "This time, it can only be said that it happened with the Da'an Palace."

"And the Qinghe Cui clan members are too stupid. They said the wrong thing, did the wrong thing, and cut off their own arm before waiting for the final result."

"That's how Li Qiu, king of Peking, escaped."

"However, the reason why His Majesty treats him like this has a lot to do with the illustrious military achievements he has made."

"Beheaded three Turkic khans in a row, and repelled the Turkic invasion army several times."

"Now the Turks are almost wiped out."

"This kind of achievement, even if it is placed in the history books, is also countable."

"Your Majesty has always cherished his feathers and reputation. Under normal circumstances, he would never order the execution of such an accomplished general."

"That's why even if nothing happened in Da'an Palace, I can be sure that His Majesty will not kill him."

"It's His Highness's side, I don't know what's the next plan?"

"You can't keep staring at the King of Peking, after all, whether he is good or bad, has nothing to do with your Highness's plan."

Hearing this, Li Ke couldn't help frowning.

"Right now, I heard that my father has already sent Zhang Xuansu, Du Zhenglun and others to assist the East Palace."

"And hand over part of the affairs to the East Palace."

"As for Wei Wang Li Tai, the emperor also doted on him and allowed him to set up a literary museum."

"He also took advantage of the situation to recruit a large number of literati and gathered under his command."

"And I, after all, am the prince born of a concubine."

"I have never been welcomed by my father."

"Even being able to return to Chang'an this time is all thanks to you, teacher."

"If you want to talk about my next plan, I can't do anything. At most, I will take care of my fiefdoms in those states."

"Make as much merit as possible."

"Speaking of this, I have one thing I would like to implore the teacher."

"That is whether Quan Wanji can be transferred back from Lizhou."

"After all these years, Quan Wanji has been under my command, and it is easy to use."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu let out a breath and shook his head.

"Because of the King of Peking, and later Zhang Yungu and other things."

"Your Majesty has a very bad impression of you and Quan Wanji, Your Highness."

"Even if he can be transferred back, he must never be allowed to continue to follow you, Your Highness."

"Let's not let him return to Chang'an."

"In that case, the gain outweighs the loss."

"As for Quan Wanji's placement, I have already thought about it for you, Your Highness."

"I plan to arrange him to be the long history with Qi Wang Li You."

"I don't know what your Highness thinks?"

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Li Ke thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Student, willing to obey the teacher's arrangement."

"Letting Quan Wanji follow Li You is also an excellent thing."

"Firstly, King Qi got a powerful helper."

"It will be much more convenient for us to communicate with King Qi in the future."

This Qi Wang Li You is the fifth son of Li Shimin, and his mother is Concubine Yin.

The origin is very special.

Li You's grandfather Yin Shishi stayed in Chang'an with the acting king Yang You at the end of Sui Dynasty.

In the 13th year of Daye's reign in the Sui Dynasty, Li Zhiyun, Li Yuan's youngest son, was killed by Yin Shishi after the Taishang Emperor Li Yuan raised his troops in Taiyuan. He was only 14 years old.

Yin Shishi asked Jingzhao County to visit and excavate the tombs of the five temples of Li Yuan's family.

After Li Yuan entered Chang'an, he also killed Yin Shishi and others on the grounds that they refused to fight righteous soldiers.

Among Li Shimin's many princes, Li Ke was rejected to a certain extent because of the blood of the previous dynasty flowing in his body.

And this Qi Wang Li You is much worse than Li Ke.

So from the very beginning, Li You has been following Li Ke's side as a younger brother, receiving his blessing, and drinking a sip of soup.

However, for Li You, he has no ambition at all, let alone intends to make progress.

Idle around all day and be your own leisure prince.

But he is much happier than Wu Wang Li Ke.

……

On the other side, on the Turkic grassland.

Datang's use of troops against Turkic tribes has not stopped.

With the assistance of Ake, her four apprentices, and the Fire Feather Condor.

Chai Shao, Li Daozong, Luo Liang and others marched towards the north of the grassland from the east, middle and west with a three-way army.

However, Song You, Cheng Mingzhen and others began to build the city in the original Tie Le tribe's residence.

Only when this city is built well can the soldiers and civilians of the Tang Dynasty take this as the core and truly take root firmly in this grassland.

In this unprecedented battle destined to be recorded in history, Wang Xuance, Gao Kan, Xue Rengui, Xi Junmai and other outstanding young players of the new generation have all been fully tempered.

In addition, Chai Zhewei, Cheng Chumo, Qin Li, Yuchi Baolin and others have also been sent by their father.

I want to take this opportunity to let them go through training and beating.

In fact, this time Li Qiu's apprentice Wang Xuance made great achievements, which deeply stimulated their hearts.

No matter what they say, they are also heroes, and their sons can't be too cowardly, can they?

In addition to these, there is an extremely special army on this vast grassland.

The aborigines on the Turkic grasslands called it the Red Devil Army.

And the leader of this Red Devils Army is also very characteristic.

That is he only has six fingers.

The five fingers of the right hand, plus the remaining thumb of the left hand.

This devil is nicknamed Six Fingers Fan Xing.

After massacring tens of thousands of people and captives of the Tie Le tribe, Fan Xing did not stop at all.

Instead, he led the Youzhou Army, which consisted of [-] old, weak and disabled soldiers, and directly moved to other places.

As long as there has just been a war, there will be captives and grassland tribesmen.

They will all rush over immediately.

Then, like a cruel god of death, resolutely, coldly, without hesitation, he waved the butcher knife in his hand.

kill them all.

Over time, they killed too many people.

There was so much blood on their bodies that their armor and battle robes turned as red as blood.

There is also a title like the Red Devils.

If you want to talk about this extremely vast grassland, who is the most hated by these Turkic tribes, and who makes them feel the fear from the depths of their souls.

Then it must be Six Fingers Fan Xing and his Red Devils Army.
