Great Tang princess

Chapter 252 Turkic Rebellion

Chapter 252 Turkic Rebellion
In the Hall of Renshou, Li Zhi and his wife looked at a large pile of memorials on the table with a smile, and felt refreshed for a while.

"Chen'er did a good job." Li Zhi lay on the rocking chair, spinning the health ball in his hand, which could roughly show his current mood to some extent.

At this moment, Li Yuechen came to the Hall of Renshou under the imperial edict.

Today's Li Yuechen was not wearing a military uniform, it was the usual big red round collar gown, and after coming in, he swayed and sat down between the couple who were looking after themselves: "Mother and Dad seem to be in a good mood today!"

Mother Wu Zetian turned her head and glanced at her, then pointed to the memorials covering the table with her chin: "Look, they are all for impeaching you."

Li Yuechen didn't bother to look at it, so he picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup: "Impeach me, impeach me, my child doesn't care."

Li Zhi beside him smiled slightly: "But there are too many people to be impeached, and if I don't deal with it, I won't be able to justify it."

"Then didn't you help the child talk?" Li Yuechen picked up the teacup and blew.

In terms of her popularity, shouldn't there be no one who speaks for her?
"Yes, many military officers headed by Liu Zhengze have spoken for you..." Wu Zetian nodded.

There were even quite a few Tianhou opponents among them, but these military officers who had actually been on the battlefield believed that the princess was right.

If anyone can enter the forbidden area of ​​the military camp, is it still a military camp?

Putting aside the grievances or games behind this incident, just talking about this incident itself, many people who were actually from the military expressed their support for the princess's approach.

Liu Rengui even directly said in the hall that the princess just slapped him, but if it was him, he would definitely kill him on the spot!

Having said that, this time Li Yuechen is standing on the opposite side with most of the old nobles.

Liang Zi is completely married, and these veteran nobles will definitely continue to make trouble for her in the future, preventing her from gaining more power.

Fortunately, most of these veteran nobles are civil servants, and the princess' prestige in the military attache group will not be affected.

In this era, although one is particular about both civil and martial arts, there are still very few who can really do it.

Most civil servants may indeed have no problem riding horses and archery, but when it comes to commanding battles on the battlefield, this is not something that can be learned by reading military books.

People like Liu Rengui and Pei Xingjian who are truly capable of both civil and military skills are in the minority after all.

Naturally, Pei Xingjian needless to say, the success of copying homework this time can already explain the problem.

And his master Liu Rengui is a representative figure who fights with his brain.

Li Yuechen heard that before he was born, during the battle against Baekje, his master Liu Rengui saw that he would be killed by the king of Baekje when he faced the Baekje general Fukunobu Onimuro with several times more people than himself. As a result, they finally succeeded in overturning the situation and winning the war.

Having said that, since so many people also speak for themselves, it should not be a big problem this time.

So Li Yuechen smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, Grandpa, relying on the prestige of the boy in the army, there is no problem."

"It's not a big problem." Li Zhi nodded with a smile, "However, if so many people impeach me, it won't make sense if I don't deal with it."

Li Yuechen asked tentatively: "Then... how does Grandpa plan to deal with it?"

……

Regarding Li Yuechen's impeachment by a large group of veteran nobles, the result was announced the next day - one year's salary!
Hearing the result of this treatment, many veteran nobles felt a mouthful of old blood rushing to their chests, unable to spit it out or swallow it.

But there is no way to say anything. After all, the housekeeper violated the regulations this time. Although it was just a touch of refusal, but if he really wants to go online, it can indeed be regarded as trespassing on the barracks.

Besides, many military officers spoke for the princess, and the emperor was able to punish them this time, which was considered to be giving face to these veteran nobles.

But when I think about it carefully, I feel unwilling. I have been fined for one year. Is the princess short of that year's salary?
Rather, you can go to the household department and ask, has the princess ever received her own salary?I guess she doesn't even know when she will receive her monthly salary?
They were right in guessing, Li Yuechen really didn't know which day of the month he would get his salary, and he never went to get it.

If it was someone else, maybe if they didn't come to receive the salary, the money would be stolen, but even if she didn't come to collect the princess's salary, none of the officials below would dare to touch it. What if it was fishing?
Therefore, the officials responsible for distributing the salary obediently recorded the money and handed it over to the national treasury every month. Even if the princess asked about it one day in the future, it would be considered an explanation.

In Anfu Hall, Fulai had a look of pity: "Your Highness, the one-year salary is gone."

"If it's gone, it's gone." Li Yuechen didn't care, "Anyway, that little money will be earned back in a few hours!"

Now the princess's various businesses are doing very well, especially transparent glass. Because of the monopoly of technology, businessmen from all over the country are trying their best to come and get the goods.

Even those foreign businessmen waved a lot of foreign gold coins in their hands every day to get more goods.

The current Li Yuechen may not be able to compare with those old aristocrats who have been in business for hundreds of years in terms of overall assets.

But when it comes to personal assets, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the richest woman in the Tang Dynasty. If there is a list of Tangbos, her name should at least be in the top ten.

Li Yuechen, who was fined for one year's wages, was not affected by this incident at all. After having lunch with his sister and sister-in-law in Anfu Hall, he returned to the barracks.

……

Time passed day by day, and it was October in a blink of an eye, and the weather had completely cooled down.

The cotton coats have already been distributed in the barracks. The outer layer is made of cotton cloth, the inner layer is wool, and the length of the hem can almost reach the feet.

However, most soldiers did not wear them, but still wore camouflage uniforms.

After all, there is a lot of training every day, so there is no need to wear this thing. This thing is mainly worn by soldiers who are in charge of shifts every day. After all, it is really warm. Standing in a military posture without moving, wearing this thing is not cold at all.

Li Yuechen also knew the principle of people warming their legs and dogs warming their mouths, so he gave them bad news on their winter shoes.

The winter shoes are still cloth shoes, but the insides are covered with thick wool, and the insoles are also made of various furry animal skins, so that they will not be cold even if they step on the snow.

In fact, what Li Yuechen wanted to use most was yak fur. The fur of yaks was surprisingly good at insulating heat. The snow that covered them in winter would not even melt. One could imagine how warm they were.

But there is no way for this thing to be artificially bred at present, the cost is terrible, and Li Yuechen doesn't want to let it go extinct, so he didn't take such a method.

Because they have seen the magnificent scenery and various natural natural landscapes, most extreme athletes are also environmentalists.

Li Yuechen is no exception, but in the current era, we must first ensure the survival of people before considering environmental protection issues.

Let the country become stronger first, so that there will be extra energy to protect the environment. This priority, Li Yuechen can still distinguish clearly.

……

At the beginning of October, Pei Xingjian's class teacher returned to the court, and Li Zhi held a grand welcome ceremony for him.

Originally, Li Yuechen didn't want to go, after all, he belonged to the faction against his mother, and she didn't want to arouse his mother's dislike.

However, Wu Zetian himself advised her to go. After all, she has a high prestige in the army. If she doesn't go, maybe someone who wants to take advantage of her.

Now that his mother had said it all, Li Yuechen went too, but he didn't speak, he only cared about eating and drinking at the banquet, and said hello when he met people.

This time Pei Xingjian can be considered to have made a great contribution, and the father was also very happy, and directly promoted him to be the Minister of Rites and the inspector of the right guard.

This position surprised many people, but Li Yuechen didn't think so.

Now that Pei Xingjian is almost 60 years old, no matter his age or seniority, there is no problem. Moreover, this time he won the Turks without bloodshed, such an achievement is worthy of this position.

What's more, in terms of connections, Pei Xingjian is not bad.

He is the apprentice of the famous general Su Dingfang, and there is also a group of nobles behind him to support him, otherwise he is not qualified to stand on the opposite side of his mother and fight her in the ring.

The banquet lasted quite a long time and lasted until the middle of the night.

Li Yuechen didn't go back to the barracks either, he went directly back to the Anfu Hall and went to bed, woke up the next morning, had some breakfast after practicing, and planned to go back to the barracks after paying his parents a respect.

When they came to Renshou Hall, Li Zhi and his wife had just woken up, perhaps because Li Zhi had been drinking last night, Li Zhi always felt a little groggy.

"Grandpa, drink less alcohol in the future, it's not good for your health!" Li Yuechen advised.

"Alcohol, it doesn't matter if you drink less, it can keep you healthy." Li Zhi waved his hands, as if she didn't understand anything.

Li Yuechen immediately drooped his eyelids: "If it's not good, it's not good. Why do you say that you should drink less to keep in good health? In short, Grandpa must drink less in the future, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, what are you going to do?" Li Zhi asked with a smile.

"Otherwise...the boy won't come back to visit grandpa!" Li Yuechen pouted.

"..."

Hearing his daughter's words, Li Zhi fell silent for a moment. It would definitely be useless to threaten the emperor with other things.

But this sentence... the lethality seems to be a little bit bigger.

In desperation, Li Zhi could only nod his head and agree: "Okay, okay, as long as there is nothing to do, never drink, and if there is something to do, drink less! Is that all right?"

……

After chatting for a few words, Li Yuechen was about to get up and leave.

However, just when he got up, he heard a sudden heavy drum sound, which almost spread throughout the city.

Li Yuechen listened carefully, stopped immediately, and frowned slightly.

Eight hundred miles in a hurry, such a drum will never sound in a non-emergency military situation.

Li Zhi and his wife also raised their heads, looking puzzled, and even Li Zhi himself was still muttering: "Didn't they all win?"

Several people did not speak, Li Yuechen got up and waited at the gate of Renshou Hall.

It didn't take long, and there was already the sound of horseshoes in the palace. If you hurry up for eight hundred miles, you can ride the horse directly to the gate of the emperor's hall.

A tall horse ran into the palace, Marquis Wu who was in charge of delivering the letter on the horse was already so exhausted that he even forgot to slow down.

"not good!"

Seeing that he didn't slow down, Li Yuechen rushed out immediately, heading straight for the horse.

The galloping tall horse saw a person suddenly rushing out in front of it. Its biological instinct made it want to slow down, but it was still too late, and its two front legs just raised.

Marquis Wu at the back was unsteady and fell directly from his horse.

Li Yuechen stretched out his claws, grabbed the opponent's collar and flung it back, and then gently put it on the ground, so that he didn't fall directly to the ground.

Marquis Wu who was lying on the ground didn't have the strength to stand up anymore, he just raised the letter in his hand tremblingly: "His... Your Highness..."

"Okay, let's rest!" Li Yuechen took the letter from him, and waved to the little eunuchs next to him, "Take him down to rest."

Then he quickly turned around and entered the hall, and handed the letter in his hand to the old man: "Grandpa."

Li Zhi put on the glasses, took them and opened them to look.

The more he looked at the frown, the tighter he frowns, and then he shook his hand violently and let out a low growl: "It's so bold and courageous!"

Seeing that he suddenly lost his temper, Wu Zetian also frowned, took the letter paper from behind him and read it.

After reading it, he didn't say anything, but just passed his hand to Li Yuechen: "Chen'er, let's take a look too."

Li Yuechen took it and read it word by word. Shan Yu Dadu Hufu East Turks rebelled, and he made Ashina the Khan. The chiefs of 24 states under the Duhufu's jurisdiction all responded, with hundreds of thousands of people!
The first time Li Yuechen saw this sentence, he felt a little strange.

Since the Yonghui period, the East Turks have been very stable for nearly 30 years, and have not intruded on the Tang Dynasty. Even the trade between the two sides has gradually increased in these years. How could they rebel at this time?

Continue to look down, it is recorded that the banners played by the rebels are because the Tang Dynasty used it to conquer Korea in the east, West Asia in the west, and even crusade against the Khitan and other ministries... In short, it was too frequent and felt uncomfortable, so they rose up Rebellious.

Seeing this reason, Li Yuechen rolled his eyes. Although it is true that he took advantage of you, the points that should be given to you are not small.

He laughed when he was sharing the money, but now that he feels uncomfortable, he directly rebels... It is realistic enough.

"Come on!" Li Zhi suddenly shouted.

Zhang Chengxin came in to salute, and before he could say anything, he heard Li Zhi growl: "The chancellor and the six ministers will all enter the palace for discussion!"

"Here!"

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Zhang Chengxin quickly agreed, and then sent people out of the palace to make various notifications.

The ministers also heard the sound of the drum just now, and they are in a hurry for eight hundred miles. They will definitely be called into the palace next, so they have already put on their clothes early and got ready.

As soon as the people sent by the palace arrived, they set off immediately and entered the palace one after another.

When such a thing happened, Li Yuechen didn't leave, and immediately got up and poured a cup of tea for the couple, intending to see how the old man would deal with it.

"Grandfather, drink a cup of tea to calm down. Since the matter has already happened, let's discuss the solution in a while." Li Yuechen comforted the angry Li Zhi, "Don't worry, Grandpa, my daughter is here for everything!"

Listening to his daughter's advice, Li Zhi took a deep breath: "Do you want to go?"

"Actually, I don't want to. After all, the scouts haven't been fully formed yet, but if there is no one available, the child is naturally obliged!" Li Yuechen replied.

Li Zhi didn't speak, just nodded, as if he was thinking about something.

 Thanks to [Xiao Baili] for the 100 starting coins!
