Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1441 Sold it all

It is true that Li Shan's idea is too whimsical, but Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Chai Shao also have to admit that although it is tricky, it is very feasible.

Yes, no one has the shame to covet this credit. Not only is it embarrassing, but it may also be recorded in the history books and be humiliated to future generations.

But Princess Pingyang is different. There is no such thing as a biography of a woman in history. In fact, in China's thousands of years of history, there are only two women who have been included in the official history. One is Empress Lu of the Han Dynasty, and the other is Qin Liangyu of the Ming Dynasty. .

Moreover, Princess Pingyang is Li Yuan's legitimate daughter and has a sworn relationship with Li Shan. It is really the most suitable for her to take over.

Thinking about the requirements that Li Shimin just put forward, he must have prestige in the military, be dignified in the court, and not be despised for it... Even Princess Pingyang had to admit that she was really the best candidate after thinking about it carefully.

She is a princess, and she cannot serve as a general or a prime minister. At most, she will give more property to the prince after he ascends the throne. However, she has many old troops in the army and has high prestige...

But can this be tolerated?

Others may be able to bear it, but the strong-tempered Princess Pingyang obviously cannot bear it!

I've tried my best to think of you, but you're actually putting me on the spot to take the blame? !

No matter how stupid Princess Pingyang is, she knows that this must be Li Huairen's bad idea... She handed that letter in person!

Li Yuan turned his head, fearing that his daughter would see him snickering. Li Shimin also lowered his head. Chai Shao simply raised his head and stared at the top of the hall, hearing his wife's heavy breathing in his ears.

"Father, my daughter has not been in charge of the army for a long time..."

"Second sister." Li Shimin still lowered his head, but he began to persuade: "If the second sister hadn't come forward, we would have had to issue an edict and order King Wei Si to capture Tuli Khan and bring him to the capital as a sacrifice."

"Don't my father and second brother be suspicious of Huairen?!"

"It's the mouth of the world." Li Yuan sighed: "Not to mention being a father is no longer needed. I don't think Erlang will still expect Huairen to lead the army after staying for decades."

"Yes." Li Shimin coughed twice, "The Turks are weak, but the Mobei and Western Turks are still there. Xue Yantuo's power will inevitably increase, plus the Western Regions, Khitan, Mohe and even Goguryeo..."

"If Huairen captures Tuli Khan this time, it will be difficult to lead the army in the future."

"It's impossible for him to lead the army anymore!" Princess Pingyang said angrily: "Li Huairen acts so treacherously, but you should speak for him!"

Li Yuan and Li Shimin, father and son, looked at each other. Indeed, if there were no accidents, it would be difficult for Li Shan to lead the army again, but as a minister, he was very satisfied with this posture as an emperor and a prince who would ascend the throne next year. I am willing to cooperate...not to mention that they have given such a tricky but reasonable candidate.

"Is it necessary to go then?!"

All three remained silent.

"Okay, okay!" Princess Pingyang turned away angrily.

"Father, the second sister is angry..."

"It's okay." Li Yuan whispered: "Anyway, it was Huairen's bad idea to ask her to seek Huairen's bad luck."

"It's a shame that Huairen can think of it..." Li Shimin clicked his tongue and said, "Based on this thought, it won't be an exaggeration to serve as prime minister in a few years."

"Then we have to wait until Ling Jing takes office." Li Yuan casually mentioned.

"I'm afraid Huairen will refuse to take office." Li Shimin said with a bitter smile: "Huairen has too many merits. It seems that Huairen often takes risks, but in fact he is cautious."

"That's Erlang's business." Li Yuan smiled. Looking back on these years, he couldn't help but sigh: "He is really the best person in the world, and only Erlang can control him."

"My father's words are too modest. You must know that Huairen was raised by his father." Li Shimin said a few words modestly, "As for Qin Wutong and other fallen generals?" "Huairen mentioned in the letter that Qin Wutong, Huang Junhan, General Hu Yan was killed in battle, and he wanted to be the first to do so." Li Yuan nodded, "It makes sense, let him write a letter of merit."

In the Liangyi Hall, the father was kind and the son was filial, and everyone was happy. However, Princess Pingyang left the hall and hurried all the way. Chai Shao chased her to the Zhuque Gate before catching up.

"Don't go back home!" Princess Pingyang sneered: "Go to Yanshoufang first!"

Chai Shao huffed, "Are you going to see Mrs. Zhu?"

"No, go find Eleven Niang!"

A quarter of an hour later, in the palace of Wei Siwang in Yanshoufang.

Cui Shiniang, who was half lying on the soft couch, held her belly and laughed so much that she curled up. Zhu and Zhang beside her were also speechless.

Changsun, who was on the side and came to inquire about the news because he heard that a general was killed in battle, said cautiously: "Huairen is also helpless..."

"I have no choice but to take my sister... In Alang's words, I will take the blame." Cui Shiniang wiped the tears on her face, "But after thinking about it, it seems that my sister is the most suitable and the only candidate."

Princess Pingyang glared angrily, "You have learned so badly from Huairen, you are full of evil thoughts!"

"That's not okay, he must be a well-behaved one." Cui Shiniang smiled and patted her belly gently, "Don't worry, sister, I will let you say this."

A maid had already come out holding an exquisite lacquer box. Cui Shiniang personally took out a riding crop inlaid with gems, "Sister, just use it."

This was the riding whip that Li Shansan gave to Cui Shiniang after he defeated the Turks and returned to Beijing. It was originally owned by Jieli Khan.

Princess Pingyang swung hard and made a whining sound... Li Huairen, just wait!

At this moment, Li Shan was still complaining in the camp outside Fanzhi. The war was not over yet, so he could share the suffering with the soldiers, but now that the war was over, eating horse meat every day... it was really uncomfortable.

Li Shan is not the kind who can't bear hardships, the key is to have contrast... Tuli Khan also figured out that it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to let him go back to the grassland.

Moreover, the Turkic Han Dynasty, which was so famous that it also ruled most of the grassland after the East and West Turks split, is likely to fall apart in the next few years... Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, which defeated the Turks several times, there was Xue Yantuo watching covetously.

Tuli Khan did not have the courage to commit suicide, but he was very sure that after he was escorted back to Chang'an... the Emperor of Tang would definitely treat him favorably for the sake of mercy or division.

So now, Li Shan led an army to besiege but refused to surrender. The self-defeating Tuli Khan made various demands... He wanted food, drink, meat, and wine!

Li Shan just ignored him at first, but who knew that Tuli Khan was really shameless and sent someone to deliver a message. If you don't give it, believe it or not, I will jump from the top of the mountain? !

This time Li Shan had to give in. He could only eat horse meat and sent various delicacies to Tuli Khan.

"You still have the mind to think about this?" Ma Zhou on the side sneered: "If Princess Pingyang really takes over, you will be in trouble!"

Li Shan's hands trembled. He had sold his sister completely this time, and he didn't know how future history books would describe it.
