Tang's dining table

"I heard you had a problem with the amount of gold you got?"

Yun Chu closed the "Book of Mountains and Seas" that he often read and looked at Li Yuance in front of him and said.

Li Yuance's face turned pale, his lips kept trembling, and he said after a long time: "Too little."

Yun Chu nodded and said to Army Sima Jiang Xie: "Give his share and my share to the soldiers below, and tell them that this is an extra gift from me and King Zhao to show compassion for the soldiers." reward."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xie turned around and went out to do errands.

Li Yuance closed his eyes and said, "Is it appropriate for the general to humiliate my Prince Zhaojun in this way?"

Yun Chu said again: "I will report to Your Majesty that you, Li Yuance, are timid in front of the two armies and are not useful. I will also tell Your Majesty that as the commander of the march, you are suspected of embezzling military funds and drinking the blood of soldiers."

Li Yuance blushed and said angrily: "Your Majesty won't believe it."

Yunchu sighed and said: "I know you came to this southwest battle with very high expectations, but you didn't say that you were timid and shirk your responsibilities. If it weren't for the help of Lieutenant Zhechong below, you would have even It would be a loss of strength and humiliation for the country. Also, you brought such a large caravan into the southwest and failed to do business. Do you think it was my fault, which in turn caused you to suffer a lot of losses?

What do you think? "

Li Yuance shouted: "I didn't!"

Yun Chu looked at Li Yuance, who was holding his neck and refused to admit his mistake, and said, "How wise is the former Prince Zhao..."

Before Yun Chu could finish his words, Li Yuance roared angrily: "So what if I'm not as good as my father? Now, I am the King of Zhao County. You humiliate me everywhere and make things difficult for me..."

Yun Chu looked at the furious Li Yuance and remained silent. When he had finished roaring, he put his hands on the desk, his eyes fell on the shelf full of arrows, and fell into deep thought.

Li Yuance finished his roar and calmed down. When his eyes followed Yun Chu's and fell on the arrow stand, his knees softened and he knelt on the ground, begging: "The general made a mistake for a moment..."

Yun Chu's eyes crossed the arrow shelf and landed on Li Yuance's face, and he said incomprehensibly: "Why?"

Li Yuance put his head on the ground and trembled: "I want to make contributions..."

Yun Chu said: "I've given you a chance to make a great contribution, but in the Weishan battle, you took the lead and charged into the enemy's formation at the beginning. The question is, after fighting, fighting, what will happen if you escape back?"

If you hadn't sacrificed your life for the captains, you would have been defeated in the battle at Weishan.

As a leading general, there is no need to take the lead. Just charge the captain with your life and attack. Since you have chosen to charge, a certain family will believe that you are dedicated to meritorious service. But after killing for a while, it will be difficult for a certain family to run back alone in panic. Got it.

Tell me, why? "

Li Yuance's whole body was shaking like chaff, and he said after a while: "I should have died fighting there, but I was too scared."

Yun Chu sighed and said: "The bravery of blood makes you fight bravely to kill the enemy. After calming down, you are as timid as a mouse. When you don't see the enemy, you feel that you are invincible. After seeing the enemy, you feel that you are nothing." , after the enemy retreats, you will feel that you are unparalleled...

Li Yuance, when you go back, give your title to your brothers. You are a naturally weak person. The glory of Prince Zhao makes you bold. When you return to your true self, your true colors will be revealed. You are really not suitable to be this Prince Zhao. king. "

Li Yuance said dullly: "You won't kill me?"

Yun Chu said: "If you had continued to roar at the military tent just now, of course I would kill you, but then you knelt down and begged for mercy. How do you want me to kill you?"

Li Yuance burst into tears and cried: "You even think it's a shame to kill me, don't you?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "The soldiers who followed me on the expedition, I have the moral obligation to take them out and bring them back as neatly as possible. You are the marching Sima in my army. Killing you will make the barbarians in the southwest worse." If you are proud, historians will also record it in the history books - Yun Shuai broke through the southwest, and his momentum was overwhelming, but he only lost the marching history.

Therefore, I will not kill you. Since Your Majesty has handed you over to me intact, I need to return you intact to His Majesty. As for your role in the army, just take care of His Majesty's children. "

Li Yuance covered his face and cried loudly and left.

The cry was so pitiful that even Yun Chu, who had a heart as hard as stone, couldn't bear to hear it.

At dawn, Army Commander Jiang Xie came to report that Li Yuance committed suicide by drowning.

Yun Chu sighed and was about to say a grand burial when Jiang Xie said again: "Fortunately, he followed me and was rescued. He is still alive, but like He Jingxiong, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, he has gone insane. At this time, he is constantly Point to the trees and say something - this is what I eat...

When Yun Chu heard this, he buried his face deeply into his hands and rubbed them vigorously. He didn't know how historians would record this battle in the southwest. The small soldiers were not damaged much, but two generals were damaged!

Yun Chu raised his face from his palms and looked at Jiang Xieyang miserably: "Zhang Donghai has been appointed as the marching commander of Jiannan Road. He is so happy that he wants to chop off his dick to show his loyalty to His Majesty. He looks like he is going crazy. Before I go crazy, you are here. Never dare anything happen again..."

Chao Yunchu, who was sympathetic to Jiang Xie, cupped his hands and said, "The general will not do it!"

Hearing that Li Yuance, the king of Zhaojun, was also crazy, Li Jingxuan came to visit him at night.

When he saw with his own eyes Li Yuance, Prince of Zhao County, and He Jingxiong, the Minister of Rites, sitting side by side in a carriage, answering questions in harmony, and when he saw Yun Chu again, Li Jingxuan felt that the hairs on his back stood up.

Yun Chu said indifferently: "There is still room on their carriage, do you want to get on?"

Li Jingxuan stood far away and said, "Why?"

Yunchu spread his hands and said, "I want to know too."

Li Jingxuan said: "What if their madness will be cured after returning to Luoyang?"

Yun Chu said: "That will be a good thing. The historian's huge pen can finally let someone go."

Li Jingxuan said: "Okay, I will report the matter between the two of them to Your Majesty under the name Mo You."

Yun Chu frowned and said, "What's so unnecessary?"

Li Jingxuan sighed and said: "Maybe it's retribution..."

Yun Chu opened a book dedicated to writing memorials and looked at the blank book. He really didn't know how to start writing. He Jingxiong was crazy. He could write thousands of words. Now, Li Yuance was crazy. Yun Chu was really crazy. Don't know where to start.

Perhaps, Li Jingxuan was right - this might be retribution.

Yun Chu felt that he should lead his army to leave Lin Mang in the southwest as soon as possible, maybe he could avoid bad luck.

Therefore, when the 50,000-strong army withdrew from the southwest, they felt quite panicked, like a bereaved dog, and they did not look like a victorious army at all.

Li Zhi picked a lychee from a lychee tree, peeled it and put it in his mouth in one go.

After a while, he spit out a very large lychee core and said to Wu Mei: "Yun Chu is sending back all the civilians who have entered Shu this time just to bring back 600 lychee trees?"

Wu Mei also spit out a lychee core and said: "Yunchu's light soldiers entered Cangshan Erhai, Sheng Luopi was beheaded, and all the tribal chiefs who participated in the killing of our Tang Dynasty soldiers and civilian husbands were also beheaded. Naturally, he had the leisure to get some food for his wife. return."

Li Zhi picked another lychee, peeled it, put it in his mouth and said, "I am more relieved than ever before when he goes to war."

Wu Mei said: "Does Your Majesty think Zhang Donghai can take away the seal of the marching general manager of Jiannan Road from Yun Chu with just an imperial edict?"

Li Zhi said: "That decree is not an edict, Zhang Donghai can naturally get it."

Wu Mei frowned and said: "Your Majesty is so confident?"

Li Zhi stretched out a hand and said: "Bet, the bet is the hundred lychee trees in your hand."

Wu Mei thought for a moment and shook her head: "I won't fight."

Li Zhi continued to pick lychees to eat. After eating another lychee, maybe he was so angry that he said angrily: "Three hundred lychees in Luoyang and three hundred in Chang'an. His division is really fair."

Wu Mei spat out a lychee core and said, "Maybe this is the self-defilement I want, so that Your Majesty won't think too much about it."

Li Zhi said: "He has holes all over his body. Does he need to desecrate himself? If we really want to deal with him, just because he took the opportunity to throw thunder and fire bombs at my palace when he killed Hwarang's disciples in the East Palace. This thing is enough to kill the Nine Clans."

Wu Mei said: "There is no evidence."

Li Zhi sneered and said, "Do I need evidence?"

Wu Mei said resentfully: "I told your majesty back then that it was Yun Chu who threw the thunder bomb towards Ziwei Palace. Your majesty didn't believe it at that time and even scolded me."

Li Zhi said without any shame: "Believe it or not, just a thought."

Wu Mei found a big lychee, picked it off, and peeled it while saying, "Does your Majesty believe it now?"

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "I still don't believe it."

Wu Mei sighed and stuffed lychees into her mouth and said, "Your supervisor is drowning crazy."

Li Zhi said: He must have gone crazy by drowning. "

Wu Mei said: "Does Your Majesty trust Yun Chu so much?"

Li Zhi shook his head and said: "No matter who leads the army to pacify the southwest and honestly hands over the power seal, I will think that what he said is reasonable, and the winner himself should not be blamed.

What's more, after I've thought about it, Yun Chu had no reason to kill He Jingxiong, and He Jingxiong probably didn't have the guts to enmity with a powerful general in the southwest border area.

Therefore, I can accept this reason for going crazy after drowning. "

Wu Mei didn't speak for a while, and the emperor and empress continued to pick lychees and eat them silently in the main hall of Shangyang Palace. The giant bear lay at the door and looked at it dreamily, but did not dare to come in, looking extremely pitiful.

"Your Majesty, prepare for a stable marriage as soon as possible."

"Why, Yun Chu hasn't submitted a proposal for marriage yet."

"Because Your Majesty has a hopeless daughter, and she and Yun Jin are already..."

Li Zhi, who was about to pick lychees, suddenly said angrily: "How dare you, thief!"

Wu Mei curled her lips and said: "Because you are afraid of dark knots in the beads, it would be better for your majesty to make a decision early, so as not to make the situation ugly later."

Li Zhi calmed down and continued to pick lychees to eat. After eating three lychees in a row, he said to Wu Mei: "The princess is at fault. The responsible teacher Yunchu is responsible. I want to see how Yunchu explains it."
