Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 655

Just when Li Shan led his army northward to pursue him, and bit Jieli Khan bruises all over his body without hesitation, the first memorial of meritorious service had already entered Beijing.

On May [-]th, in the early morning, the victory report was delivered to the Taiji Palace. After Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, his face flushed, and he almost danced with joy.

I can understand...the Turks put too much pressure on the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan was forced to become the Supreme Emperor in history. Striking the pipa, Li Shimin danced to celebrate. It can be called a loving father and a filial son.

Pei Ji, who was below, came out for the first time, and laughed loudly: "Your Majesty's wisdom eyes, such a famous general, Bai Hanwei Huo Qi can match it!"

Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, Qin Wang Li Shimin, Qi Wang Li Yuanji, and Zhongshu Ling Yang Gongren came out one after another and recited congratulatory speeches, but many people couldn't help but stare at Li Shimin secretly.

If we talk about famous generals in the world, who is more famous than General Tiance?
But listen to how Pei Ji brags... Bai Qi, Han Xin, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing are all inferior to Li Jing. No matter how famous Li Shimin is, he dare not say he is better than these four.

In fact, the key point is not Pei Ji's bragging, but many people have confirmed one thing. With Li Jing around, His Majesty probably won't let King Qin return to the battlefield again.

You must know that the reason why Li Shimin has such influence in the court is because of one punch and one kick, and the shadow that hangs over Datang's head... The Turks who control millions of strings across the grasslands make many people hope Pinned on the invincible King Qin.

But now, with Li Jing.

If he could no longer hold the military power, even if the king of Qin had the Shaanxi Province as his foundation, his prestige in the army was unparalleled for a while, and there were many talents in Tiance's mansion, his power would inevitably decline gradually.

Gao Shilian, who was standing far below, looked at Li Shimin's back, thinking that his nephew and son-in-law's fate in the future might be compared to his cousin who had a miserable fate...Gao Changgong, Prince of Lanling.

Many people are determined, many people are happy, and many people are extremely lost and depressed, but Li Shimin has no expression on his face. After receiving the memorial from Prince Li Jiancheng, he only glanced at it and made his first judgment. .

On May [-]th, Li Jing led his army out of the customs. On May [-]th, Guji Town won a great victory. Handan King Li Shan and Xinye County Gong Zhang Shigui broke the battle to the death. Riding on our tail to pursue...

Huairen led the cavalry north to pursue... Li Shimin thought to himself, no wonder no letter arrived!

But the next moment, Li Shimin's pupils shrank slightly, and without a word, he handed the memorial to Jiang Guogong Chen Shuda below.

Under the sudden joy, some details were ignored intentionally or unintentionally... At least, this great victory is a certainty. Although the Tang army is still risky when going north to pursue it, as long as it does not advance rashly, with Tang Qi's combat power, it will return safely. Withdrawal is not difficult.

Among the Prince and Zaifu, only two people noticed those small details, one was Li Shimin and the other was Pei Shiju... It wasn't because they were calm, but because they were very concerned about that key person, Handan County King Li Huairen.

Pei Shiju's gray brows were slightly raised, and he turned his head to glance at Wen Yanbo, the servant of Zhongshu not far away, and Cui Xin, a member of the Zhongshu family not far away. He survived, and congratulations to Cui Xin's future son-in-law, Li Huairen.

Pei Shiju thinks back to the Ashina clan back then, Dulan Khan, Datou Khan, Qimin Khan, Shekui Khan, Qianchuluo Khan, Shibi Khan, all of them were outstanding for a while!
More than one hundred thousand troops besieged a newly built fort, but they were unable to attack for a long time and were defeated... The descendants of Ashina of this generation, Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan, are really useless!
There were no heroes at that time, so Zhuzi became famous!
This so-called "Zhuzi" of course refers to Li Shan.

After Pei Shiju got the memorial, the first thing he looked at was the name of the person who submitted the letter...Daizhou Sima Zhu Yichen, Shuozhou Sima Qin Wutong, Daizhou Lushi and Lu Chengji.

Without Li Shan's name, Pei Shiju was overjoyed at first, but then he found that the memorial mentioned that Li Shan led the cavalry to pursue northward, and then looked at the memorial from the beginning to the end. There is no Li Jing among those who wrote the letter...

An old fox like Pei Shiju, a famous general like Li Shimin who has been in battle for a long time, and at the same time pays special attention to Li Shan, all quickly noticed this abnormality.

If Li Jing hadn't gone north to pursue him, Li Jing should have been ranked first among those who submitted the memorial.

If Li Jing went north to pursue, then the memorial should not specifically mention that the King of Handan led Tang Qi to go north to pursue... Especially Qin Wutong who stayed behind was handpicked by Li Yuan, and Lu Chengji and Er Zhu Yichen were all under the Eastern Palace.

Although they don't know the specific details, both Pei Shiju and Li Shimin judged at the same time that the current battle situation in Shuozhou is likely to be in the hands of Li Shan instead of Li Jing.

This time, I didn't do any tricks from the beginning to the end, or I didn't have time to do anything... But Pei Shiju knew that this was the closest Li Shan died, but he didn't expect it to be exactly the same as so many times before. Death, on the contrary, is likely to take this leap again.

Pei Shiju's eyes fell on Prince Li Jiancheng who was still reciting congratulatory words in front of him. There was a trace of strangeness in his eyes. Since he was determined to attach himself to the East Palace, Pei Shiju would do his best. He had found something...

That secret message whose authenticity has not yet been confirmed... Pei Shiju thought in his heart, maybe he should find a chance, how many years can he live?
The courtiers below are already in a mess, but in the early Tang Dynasty, unless it was a grand ceremony or a formal court meeting once every half a month, they didn't pay much attention to the rules. Wen Yanbo and Cui Xin were already familiar with each other. Yuwen Shiji, the servant of Zhongshu, and Tang Jian, the servant of Huangmen, discussed.

"The memorial mentioned going out of the city to fight to the death..." Tang Jian clicked his tongue and said, "Wu'an and Wan Che are both famous generals, but I have heard for a long time that the King of Handan is famous for his poetic talent, he is good at planning and planning, and he is better at medical skills. Unexpectedly..."

"Hahaha!" Yuwen Shiji laughed and shook his head, "Brother Mao Yue didn't know something. A few years ago, the bandits attacked Dongshan, and Huairen planned to defeat the enemy. Afterwards, all the captives were beheaded..."

The young man was polite and gentle, but he was by no means soft-hearted.

Wen Yanbo nodded and said: "When he inspected Dai, Huairen was gentle, but all the officials bowed their heads."

The meaning of these words is obvious. Although Li Shan's attitude is very gentle, his servant is very strict...not the kind of person who sits firmly in the middle of the army and does not hesitate to be inferior at critical moments.

Tang Jian looked at Cui Xin with a smile, "Congratulations, such a good son-in-law, both civil and military, he is an outstanding man."

Cui Xin smiled wryly, "Go north to pursue... I just hope I can return safely."

"Don't worry." Wen Yanbo persuaded: "All the generals going north will bow their heads..."

Speaking of this, Wen Yanbo suddenly paused, his face changed slightly, Yuwen Shiji and Cui Xin were a little confused, but Tang Jian had already reacted, all the generals bowed their heads to the King of Handan, what about Li Jing?
Those who can stand in the Tai Chi Hall may not be without idiots, but most of them are human beings, not to mention that most of the people who have seen the memorial are old foxes... The weird atmosphere gradually permeates the entire Tai Chi Hall.

What happened?

Li Yuan couldn't help but looked up and looked outside the Tai Chi Hall. There was another channel between himself and Li Shan, or to get news from Dai, Princess Pingyang.
