Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Ma Zhou, who had just learned that Li Qiu had released Xue Wanjun from prison, was pacing back and forth outside the door.

He was restless in his heart, and when he heard the news from the imperial study, he hurried over seriously.

Then I learned that Li Shimin asked him to draft the content of the imperial edict, so I couldn't be too happy.

So, as alert as he was, he looked at Li Shimin's expression out of the corner of his eye.

Then he said carefully every word: "Return to Your Majesty."

"Maybe I also realized the holy will."

"Just now, Shangshu's right servant shot Li Qiu, and a decree has been signed to let Dali Temple release him."

"Whether General Xue has left the prison now, I don't know for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Chai Shao's face immediately changed.

It's not good to scream in my heart, this kid Li Qiu is too courageous!

It's just too much nonsense!

At the same time, he was ready immediately.

Once the Holy One gets angry, how will he persuade him.

But at this moment, it was beyond his expectation.

Li Shimin, who is in a good mood today, has no intention of getting angry.

He just stared at Ma Zhou with deep meaning in his eyes.

Even if it was Ma Zhou, he felt terrified.

"Heh, it's a good one to understand the holy will."

"With Li Qiu's personality, if he wants to let Xue Wanjun out."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Dali Temple myself!"

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin waved his sleeve lightly.

"Okay, since this is the case, you should immediately draw up a decree."

"In order to prevent those censors and ministers from running to me to sue the imperial court again."

Upon hearing this, Chai Shao breathed a sigh of relief.

And Ma Zhou, naturally overjoyed, hastily bowed to accept the order, and hurriedly withdrew.

At this time, Li Shimin also returned to nature.

Shaking his head, he smiled and said to Chai Shao, "Hehe, did you see that?"

"In this court, there are people who care more about these meritorious ministers who have followed me for decades than I do."

"With Li Qiu here, I don't worry that I will become a heartless king."

At this moment, Chai Shao also said with emotion: "Your Majesty."

"Li Qiu is a really rare good boy."

"For these soldiers in the army, for these simple people in my Tang Dynasty."

"Regardless of the other party's status, high or low."

"He always treats each other with a sincere heart."

"Speaking of which, Xue Wanjun also fought against Li Qiu several times."

"Maybe apart from Li Jing and Tang Jian, Xue Wanjun marched with him the most times."

"Before, I was surprised, thinking that this time Xue Wanjun had an accident, why did Li Qiu stop so much?"

"As a result, he started messing around again, all of a sudden."

"It's my father's fault whether to raise or not to teach."

"When I go back, I must give him a good reprimand."

In fact, the mistake Li Qiu made today was indeed not a trivial matter.

If it is replaced by someone else.

Li Shimin must have been furious, at least he wanted to reprimand and beat him up.

But it was Li Qiu, his own son, but he thought it was a good thing.

In the past, he would often arrange such things for the prince, intentionally letting the prince reap the favor.

To ensure that when I grow old in the future, when the crown prince succeeds, Li Tang's country will be more stable.

It's just that today's protagonist has changed from the prince to Li Qiu.

Originally, listening to Chai Shao praising Li Qiu, Li Shimin still felt a little happy in his heart.

But when he heard the last sentence, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel bad again...

Chapter 974

After Hou Junji was released.

Xue Wanjun was pardoned again, which did not surprise many people.

After all, the crimes he committed cannot be compared with Hou Junji's.

Capturing a few Gaochang women is nothing in essence.

However, the impact of the Gaochang incident is far from over.

For the case of Hou Junji's corruption, since the Holy Majesty granted an amnesty.

This group of scholar-bureaucrats has nothing to say.

But Hou Junji and Jiang Xingben flattened the Banchao Stele and disrespected the sages.

How can they let it go?

Therefore, this group of people united together and almost turned Hou Junji and the others upside down.

Like Hou Junji, he is very disciplined and careful in his daily life.

There are not many handles to grasp.

But that Jiang Xingben was miserable.

A lot of crimes were picked up in a row.

Immediately thereafter, he was sent to prison again.

And it's not just him.

Even Zhao Yuankai, another absolute confidant of Hou Junji's army, was also implicated.

The reason is that on this march.

Hou Junji was bitten by insects on his forehead while sitting on a horse. Zhao Yuankai dipped his fingers in the pus and smelled the stench with his nose.

To show his loyalty and flattery to Hou Junji.

Yu Shizuo impeached Zhao Yuankai for flattery, and finally demoted him to the governor of Kuizhou.

Let it out.

This process lasted for several months.

Hou Junji was so angry that he exploded, but he was helpless.

After leaving the army, he returned to Chang'an City and the court.

This is the territory and world of civil servants.

……

It was during the events of Hou Junji, Xue Wanjun, Zhao Yuankai and others.

In Datang, there are still too many other major events taking place.

First of all, under the vigorous operation of the Furong Garden and the imperial court.

The flood situation this year has basically been brought under control.

Disasters in the remaining remote areas are still serious, but they have not affected the overall situation.

After this battle, Li Qiu and Furongyuan's reputation and prestige among the people has been improved to a higher level.

If anyone dares to say something wrong with Li Qiu and Furongyuan in front of the people and these people, everyone will definitely attack him.

Go denounce him.

And in the military.

The Tang Dynasty's wars against the countries in the Western Regions also came to an end.

Except for Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun who destroyed Gaochang.

Li Shiji, Zhang Liang, Duan Zhixuan, Li Xiaogong and other generals led the army.

They also captured Yanqi, Yizhou, Bailan and many other small countries in the Western Regions.

After a few years of absence, the Silk Road in the Western Regions has been opened again.

Normal business transactions resumed.

After returning to Chang'an, many generals were much luckier than Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun.

They were all warmly welcomed by Li Shimin and given a relatively generous reward.

Now, the entire Tang Dynasty is watching the great order of the world.

There are no strong enemies around.

Li Shimin also placed these meritorious generals in some official positions in the court.

On the one hand, it expresses the court's trust in them, and on the other hand, it does not let them idle.

For example, Li Shiji was named Minister of the Ministry of War.

Li Xiaogong, was made the king of Hejian County, Doctor Guanglu.

Duan Zhixuan was named General Zuo Xiaowei.

But Zhang Liang is a little special.

He was directly named Prince Zhan Shi.

He was sent to the East Palace to assist the prince.

Zhang Liang has a slightly stubborn and dull personality.

Soft ears, lack of assertiveness when things happen, no idea.

But the biggest benefit is to be loyal to Li Shimin.

Not too ambitious, more casual, lazy.

If you want to say that Li Shimin absolutely trusts people, Zhang Liang is definitely one of them.

Think back to the time when Jieli Khan led his soldiers to the south.

It was crossing the river from Zhang Liang's defense area, which posed a huge threat to Datang.

Afterwards, Li Shimin punished him slightly, so he stopped mentioning this matter.

After some time, important military missions will still be assigned to him.

This time Li Shimin ordered him to be Prince Zhan's job and to serve in the East Palace.

To put it bluntly, it was because the last time Fang Xuanling approached him, he secretly told the prince that he had secretly mobilized the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace.

On the surface at that time, Li Shimin showed his trust in the prince.

He also gave Fang Xuanling a good reprimand.

But in Li Shimin's heart, this matter is still relatively taboo.

So he took this opportunity to treat himself as the most trustworthy Zhang Liang who was the least likely to be won over by outsiders.
