Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 441 Reaction

Inside the Hall of Liangyi, there is a lot of joy... At least, it looks like this.

Prince Li Jiancheng felt a little thumped in his heart, after all, his confidant Li Gaoqian was involved in it...Since Liu Shirang has made great achievements in the battle and beheaded Yu Sheshe with his own hands, it would be a false accusation to accuse him of surrendering to the enemy.

But after exchanging glances with Pei Ji, Li Jiancheng settled down. Since it was a false accusation...it was tantamount to dragging Li Shenfu into the water. Anyway, Li Gaoqian is just a hussars general now, and Li Shenfu is from the east of the river. The chief of the army, this is also one of the reasons why the East Palace made a move that day.

As for Pei Shiju, he smashed his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach... He still has to be praised by other ministers, he knows people well, and he even has to swallow his breath and listen to Princess Pingyang's smirk while others can't hear it Taste of ridicule.

As for the others, from top to bottom, they were full of praise.

Chen Shuda, who had the best personal relationship with Li Shan among the prime ministers, said with a smile: "Hui Ren's name was not found in the battle report for the first battle in Shandong. I thought Huai Ren's literary talent was world-class, but unexpectedly, there are such methods. Your Majesty chooses someone to get the law."

Yang Gongren, whose son had a good relationship with Li Shan, also echoed: "The world is in chaos and peace, how can Ge Shiwen compare to such a meritorious service?"

"While chatting and laughing, the camp was attacked on a snowy night, killing all the barbarians, forcing Yuan Junzhang's entire army to vote, which makes people fascinated leisurely!"

Li Yuan laughed and nodded, "Do you think of Marquis Ding Yuan in the Later Han Dynasty?"

"36 Warriors killed the envoys of the Huns at night and forced the Western Regions to surrender to the Han, but Huairen Xueye broke through the camp, captured his son in the tiger's den, and retreated completely!"

"Above history, Huairen will not allow Ban Dingyuan to be more beautiful than before!"

Comparing Li Shan and Ban Chao is a very high praise, but everyone in the hall has no objection, and they all agree... Li Shan who has done this feat deserves it.

Li Yuan asked Yuan Pu in detail, and the latter told almost everything, but Liu Shirang was not mentioned in the words... But everyone present knew that Li Shan had entrusted the important task of guarding Mayi to him. Liu Shirang, because just two days ago, Li Shenfu also impeached Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan for allowing Liu Shirang's old department to leave the customs.

Princess Pingyang asked suddenly: "Cui Sheren hasn't returned yet?"

Yuan Pu was taken aback by the question, "Cui Sheren and the county magistrate of Guantao...uh, I heard that Cui Sheren intends to inspect Dai County."

"I'm afraid it's Weng son-in-law..." Li Yuan stopped talking halfway, and said with a smile: "Cui Xin has done meritorious service in conciliation, and there will be a reward when he returns to the court!"

Li Jiancheng jokingly said: "If my father shows kindness, I might be able to have double happiness."

Li Yuan chuckled, neither nodded nor shook his head. For him personally, bestowing a marriage is just a trivial matter, but Cui Xin was born in the Qinghe Cui clan after all, and most of the Qinghe Cui clan are attached to the East Palace. Li Jiancheng's words meant to win over .

After Li Shan became famous, especially after rescuing Princess Pingyang, Li Yuan once sent people to inquire carefully. Familiar, it seems to have both sides, but in fact it is wise and safe.

In particular, Li Shan returned to Beijing after the great victory in Shandong, did not accept the recommendation of the two parties, and insisted on becoming an official through the imperial examination.

Although he is young, he is steady, does not get involved in the struggle for the heir apparent, and has a good relationship with Pingyang... I have to admit that Li Shan's choice is one of the reasons why Li Yuan has favored him.

At this time, Li Shimin tentatively asked: "Father, Hou Ye of Yiyang County has meritorious service, how should we deal with it?"

Li Jiancheng glared fiercely, and when he mentioned Liu Shirang, he had to mention Liu Shirang's family members who were arrested and imprisoned by Pei Ji, and he had to mention Li Gaoqian who sued Liu Shirang for secretly colluding with the Turks.

The smile on Li Yuan's face gradually dissipated, and after pondering for a moment, he turned his head to look at Princess Pingyang, "We will discuss later."

Successfully recruiting Yuan Junzhang is not a trivial matter. Even if Yuan Junzhang rebels like Gao Kaidao in the future, it will be a matter of the future. Not big.

All the prime ministers and assistants who have retired are all old men who have experienced officialdom, and they know it well... Judging from the fact that Li Shan opened up business routes to accumulate good horses for the court, there is a communication channel between Li Shan and His Majesty.

This channel is naturally Princess Pingyang... Otherwise, this person would not rush to Liangyi Hall rashly.

Only Li Yuan's family is left in the hall...well, maybe only he thinks it is a family.

"Pingyang?"

Princess Pingyang took out the letter from her sleeve and handed it over, "It's roughly the same as Yuan Pu's description, but it fully narrates everything before and after."

The letter was not even opened, so Li Yuan took a knife and opened it himself. After only a few glances, he couldn't help shaking his head, "Huiren also suspected that Liu Shirang was secretly communicating with the Turks."

Li Jiancheng breathed a sigh of relief... It seems that Li Gaoqian's complaint is not groundless.

And Li Shimin sneered in his heart, Li Shenfu and Li Gaoqian had forced Liu Shirang to that point, everyone was waiting for him to be questioned, even if he really voted for the Turks, it would be a helpless move.

"Greatly honor righteousness, make a name for yourself with a sharp shot, take the lead in breaking the camp..." Li Yuan laughed and said, "Unexpectedly, Huairen praised Liu Shirang a lot."

"The Marquis of Yiyang County was famous for being good at shooting in his early years." Li Shimin said casually, "Huiren's move is a little risky. Why did you use Liu Shirang to lead the army?"

Princess Pingyang explained to Li Yuan: "Huairen brought three hundred cavalry on this trip, led by Hou Kanling of Linji County, but this man was born in Jianghuai and is not good at riding. The leader of Huairen's personal guard was Su Dingfang...now It is Wang Junhao, this man is the nephew of Wang Fubao, the great general of Hebei, he is sharp in battle, good at riding and shooting, but he is brave and not good at leading troops."

"Well, it's a helpless move." Li Yuan nodded slightly, "If Su Dingfang is here, I'm afraid Huairen won't use Liu Shirang."

Li Shimin didn't say a word, but guessed in his heart that if Su Dingfang was around, Li Shan would use Liu Shirang as the vanguard... because Liu Shirang stayed in Mayi after the war.

Li Yuan moved his eyes down, and after reading the letter, he frowned slightly, "Huiren wants to use Liu Shirang to station Mayi..."

Princess Pingyang bowed and said: "Father, my daughter has already questioned the messenger. When Huairen and Cui Sheren set off, Yuanpu had not yet arrived at Yanmen. Huairen didn't know that his father called Liu Shirang back to Beijing to question his crimes, and Liu Shirang asked himself to accompany him."

This is what Princess Pingyang is most worried about. Anyway, Li Shan has disobeyed the holy will after all... and this reason is also untenable. You must know that Yuan Pu also went to Mayi later.

"That day, Cui Sheren, Huairen and Liu Shirang went out to appease Yuan Junzhang..." Li Jiancheng mused, "Perhaps it was because they were afraid that Liu Shirang would stay in Yanmen Pass and cut off his way back."

Li Yuan pointed at Li Jiancheng with a smile, "Da Lang is right. At that time, Huairen still suspected that Liu Shirang had defected to the enemy."

"Brother is right." Li Shimin also echoed, "When we set off, Huairen entrusted Brother Huaiyang to guard the Yanmen Pass personally, just in case there was a fire in the backyard."

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuan's mouth. He had already discovered that when it comes to Li Shan, the eldest son and the second son often have the same views. Of course, both of them have the intention to win over... It's just that Huairen doesn't want to get involved, and would rather let it out .
