Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Unlike the vast majority of people in Chang'an City, Li Yuan had a very comfortable life this year. The great victory in Jingzhou a few months ago made the pressure on Chang'an City disappear, but Xiaoguan was occupied by Liang Jun, so Li Yuan always had a sense of security. Feeling like a stick in the throat.

When the meritorious service memorial came to Beijing and Pei Ji read it out in Liangyi Hall, Li Yuan was in high spirits, couldn't help but dance, and praised Li Shan greatly.

Under such circumstances, any accusation against Li Shan would displease Li Yuan, not to mention Guo Xiaoke's seemingly reasonable, but actually violated the military order and resisted the superior.

For this reason, Li Shimin was also taught a few words by Li Yuan, and the East Palace took advantage of the momentum, and almost portrayed the relationship between Guo Xiaoke and Li Shan as unequal.

Li Yuan didn't know what the crown prince was thinking. Although he had the heart of easy storage, he knew it well, so he could only figure it out slowly. What's more, half a year after the battle of Tiantai Mountain, an emperor's natural vigilance overwhelmed him again. Sensitively, Longzhou is too close to Chang'an, so it's not appropriate for Erlang's confidant to lead him.

In fact, the chiefs of several prefectures near Chang'an in Guannei Road are basically Li Yuan's people, such as Hu Yan, the governor of Ningzhou, Chang Da, the governor of Qizhou, Qian Jiulong, the governor of Jingzhou, er, the governor of Fenzhou is not Li Yuan. Yang Wenqian, a close confidant of the Eastern Palace.

Li Yuan doesn't care about the prince, but he cares about the king of Qin... because the prince can't do anything, and the king of Qin just depends on whether he wants to do it or not.

Sitting on the soft couch at the top of the Linhu Hall, Li Yuan was thinking in his heart, but saw the servant came in a hurry, "Did you come so early?"

Li Yuan summoned important ministers today to discuss the rewards for the generals after the war in Yuanzhou. There was no substantive reward for the victory in Jingzhou before. Although the overall battle is not over yet, it is almost at the end. Taking Xiaoguan means that Tang Jun Taking the initiative, Master Liang was unable to resist the Tang army's attack in Lingzhou and Huizhou. Last year, Guan Guogong and Ren Gui were able to win several times, let alone Li Huairen.

Of course, in addition to this, Li Yuan was going to mention Guo Xiaoke's memorial by the way... also wanted to test Erlang's intentions by the way.

"Your Majesty, Princess Pingyang will meet you outside the palace."

"Pingyang is here?" Li Yuan was a little surprised, got up and walked to the gate of the hall to wave, his face was a little ugly, and he scolded: "Why is Pingyang so lucky today?"

Li Yuan has always been tolerant towards his children. The other heirs are still young. Only the crown prince, King Qin, King Qi, Princess Pingyang, Princess Changsha, Princess Xiangyang, and Princess Changguang are adults. Among them, Dalang Erlang is now fighting to the death. She seldom goes to the palace to see her, but Princess Pingyang often goes to the palace, and she is the most favored by Li Yuan.

Especially after the Battle of Tiantai Mountain, while Li Yuan was vigilant, he also doted on Princess Pingyang... Among the many princes and princesses, she was the only one who could have an audience without a report.

Princess Pingyang saluted, and said solemnly: "In the past, I worshiped my father, but today I am a minister who worships the king."

"What?" Li Yuan looked confused.

"Not for my daughter."

Now Li Yuan came to his senses and said with a smile, "Have you received a letter from Huairen?"

"Yes." Princess Pingyang looked calm. After a night of quiet thinking, she still made a decision to support Li Shan. On the one hand, it was because it was Li Shan's request. Pulled into a camp with her husband.

"Pingyang is so solemn, it seems that the matter is not small." Li Yuan laughed, "Would it be trouble for Guo Xiaoke?"

"In father's eyes, is Huairen this type of person?" Princess Pingyang raised her voice, "What's more, Huairen probably doesn't know about this yet."

"That's right, that's right." Li Yuan entered the palace with his daughter with a smile, thinking in his heart that Li Shan asked for an interview privately through his daughter instead of directly writing a letter, which seemed to be a tricky matter.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan paused, "Is it to ridicule?"

The matter of Li Shan subduing Jihu also caused some controversy in the court. After all, the Jihu clan first helped Liang Shidu to defeat Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi, and Duan Decao, the governor of Pingyuan County, and then looted the three states and even Tiantai Mountain. During World War I, there were also Jihu cavalry soldiers, so many courtiers disapproved of Xu Jihu's attachment.

"No." Princess Pingyang replied briefly, then added after a pause: "I asked the messenger, Huairen plans to use Jihu as the vanguard to attack Lingzhou and Huizhou, and at the same time, he wrote a letter asking his father Xu Jihu to attach it, Xu Hushi , and called Ji Hutou to lead the court."

Li Yuan pondered for a while, "The head of the bodyguard next to Huairen?"

"What?" Princess Pingyang was stunned.

"Huh, didn't Huairen tell you?" Li Yuan laughed and said, "Liu Hei'er, the nephew of Patriarch Jihu, was praised by Huairen for his appearance as a famous general. Going down Xiaoguan on a snowy night, this person is the first to enter the city with a flag."

"It wasn't mentioned in the letter." Princess Pingyang snorted, "Going to Xiaoguan on a snowy night... the son of a daughter can't sit down in the hall, three days and two nights, the wind and snow are heavy, and if I can go back to Beijing, my daughter must practice hard! "

"Just yesterday, the Duke of Qinghe County came to see him in the palace, and asked about his father... Cui Qing said that he was ordered to comfort the army a few months ago, and he said in private that Huairen is really a hero." Li Yuan sighed: "Cui Qing I also mentioned that I'm afraid no one can control it."

"No." Princess Pingyang sneered, "The wind and snow caused a delay in arriving at Xiaoguan. Su Dingfang and Prince Daoxuan were terrified. The former wrote a letter before arriving at Xiaoguan. My daughter went to Cui's residence yesterday. After marrying Mrs. Zhu, with her permission, my daughter will be ordered to control her in the future."

"Hahaha!" Li Yuan laughed loudly: "As a father, I also authorize Pingyang. One is the king's order, and the other is the mother's order. Pingyang can be controlled in the future."

"Three days and two nights, marching in the wind and snow, it is difficult to see people five steps away, Huairen's hands and feet are frostbitten, and the cold air enters his body." Princess Pingyang took out the letter from her sleeve and handed it over, "So please return to the court."

"What!" Li Yuan was shocked, took the letter and read it quickly, hesitantly said: "There is no mention in the memorial..."

Princess Pingyang snorted, "How dare Huairen openly invite you to return to Beijing when the Turks spread such rumors?"

"That's true." Li Yuan nodded slightly. Previously, the rumors accused Li Shan of supporting his own self-esteem, but now Li Shan suddenly sent troops during the New Year's Eve, turning the tide of the battle in one fell swoop, but suddenly invited him back to Beijing.

That's why Li Shan communicated with Li Yuan privately through Princess Pingyang... The letter described three days and two nights of hard work, hardships, and difficulties before his eyes, and only half of the soldiers were missing or freezing to death.

Regardless of their martial arts skills, these soldiers are all elites in the army, and Li Shan...in all fairness, he has never dominated by force, so he may not be better than an old soldier in this respect.

Therefore, it is only logical that Li Shan suffered from trauma and fell ill, and his vitality was seriously injured.

Therefore, Li Shan invited him to return to Beijing, which is even more logical.
