The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 932 920 One: Li Shimin Feasts the Four Heroes (Part [-])
After Duan Wuji entered the house, the servants hurriedly led Duan Wuji's war horse to the yard where the horses were raised.

Now that Duan Wuji is completely fine, Duan Wuji excitedly walked straight to the inner house, only to see that Princess Pearl is coaxing her son to play!
When Princess Mingzhu saw Duan Wuji came back, she stood up from the bed.

"Master, have you done that?"

Duan Wuji smiled slightly.

"Is there any need to ask? If we two brothers go out together, is there anything we can't do?

If we brothers can't get things done, it's impossible for us brothers to come back so soon. "

Princess Mingzhu was very happy when she heard that Duan Wuji and the others had accomplished what the emperor entrusted to them!

"Boss, since the matter has been done, that's good!

You watch this stinky boy play!I'd better arrange dinner for you myself.

Brat, go play with your father!
Have fun with your father, don't make him angry. "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Go at ease! If he makes me angry again, there's nothing I can do about it.

Who told this is my own son?
He is still so young and doesn't know a little bit, what do you think I can do? "

With that said, Duan Wuji picked up his son.

Duan Wuji has lived at home for a long time these days, and this child has gotten used to it, and he doesn't take Duan Wuji so seriously anymore.

Such a child crawling on Duan Wuji's shoulders is babbling.

Duan Wuji was very happy watching it, coaxing the children to play while waiting for dinner.

Not too long, Princess Pearl asked Duan Wuji to have dinner, Duan Wuji looked at a table of sumptuous meals, he was eating hard!

After dinner, the family of three went back to the house early to rest.

In the morning of the next day, Duan Wuji ate something in a hurry, then packed up and went to court.

As soon as I walked to the gate of Tie Niu's house, I saw that Tie Niu was waiting for me at the gate!The two left home and ran straight to the palace.

When we got outside the imperial city, we saw civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty walking towards the imperial city one after another!

Then Li Jing, Li Yaoshi and Zhang Gongjin are waiting for them by the Golden Bird Bridge!

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Brother Li, brother Gongjin, don't stand here in a daze, let's go!

Let's go into the temple and face the saint! "

Li Jing and Zhang Gongjin smiled wryly after hearing this: "Our two brothers are Bai Ding now, can we get in here?

If you were stopped by those guards, how embarrassing it would be! "

Duan Wuji doesn't care about that!

"I said how did you two become like mothers-in-law.

With our two brothers following, which one of them would dare to stop you?

Besides, we two brothers have invited you two brothers here from a long distance, and we two brothers are also acting under the emperor's order. It's already the time of the morning court, can they not let us in!
let's go!If anyone of them dares to stop, we brothers will negotiate this matter! "

Duan Wuji and Tieniu couldn't help but dragged them to the imperial city!

These two people had no choice but to follow the two brothers straight to the city gate!

As soon as they entered the city gate, several guards stopped the four of them.

"Prince Duan, General Duan, you are going to court early!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "If you don't go to the morning court, what are we two brothers doing in this imperial city?

how?You stop us, is there something wrong? "

When the guards heard this, they quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Prince Duan, General Duan, you go to the morning court, we dare not stop you two.

However, those two people can't do it!
They are ordinary people now, if they enter the imperial city, they must have the emperor's order.

If there is no order from the emperor, we people would not dare to let the two of them go in!

Once the emperor blames it, we people can't afford it.

Prince Duan, General Duan, you two have to face the difficulties of small people! "

Duan Wuji smiled wryly after hearing this.

"Since you said so, we won't make things difficult for you.

Let me tell you that this piece of Gongjin and Li Jing was invited back yesterday by our brothers.

We are also following the emperor's order. I am afraid that you also know these two people.

If you are afraid of taking responsibility, then report to the emperor immediately.

If the emperor scolds you, it has nothing to do with us. "

Several guards laughed wryly after hearing this.

"If he scolds us, there is nothing we can do!

Who told us to be errands?There are regulations above, so we have no choice but to act according to the regulations. "

Duan Wuji didn't want to talk to them any more, and he didn't bother to talk to them anymore.

"Since this is the case, why don't you rush in and report it.

If you miss the morning court for a while, it won't look good. "

After hearing Duan Wuji's words, several guards glanced at each other.

These people also understand in their eyes that if they go in and report, there is indeed a risk of being scolded.

These waiting guards have been working as guards for so many years, don't they even have this experience?
The head of the guards said to one of the guards: "I said Zhang Daiwei, you have nothing to do here now, you should report to the emperor.

We are all waiting here, the sooner the better! "

The guard Zhang said in a low voice: "I can't find good things, let me report this matter, if the emperor is not happy, if the emperor scolds me, how wronged I should be! "

Tie Niu laughed and said: "It's okay, just scold and scold! There is nothing missing, and nothing can be lost."

"Hey, I said General Duan, you really know how to joke!

This is very good, who wants to scold him! "

The guard Zhang had no choice but to turn around and run into the palace.

This guard Zhang went fast, and came back quickly!

The guard Zhang came to Duan Wuji and the four of them and waved his hands.

"Prince Duan, General Duan, you four hurry up and go in!

Alas, I was really in bad luck today, and I really let Prince Duan say it right just now.

As soon as I went in and reported this matter to the emperor, the emperor scolded me severely. He said that we people don't know how to do things, so we will cause him a lot of trouble.

Then Li Jing and the others are important ministers in the court, and he sent people to invite them back with great difficulty. They really shouldn't have been made so difficult by the court last morning! "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"How? I know who is going to report who is unlucky!

But you people don't listen, who do you blame?
Brother Li Jing, Brother Gongjin, let's stop standing here, let's go to the morning court!

You see, all the civil and military officials are almost gone. "

The four people followed the civil and military officials and walked straight towards the Golden Temple.

After entering the main hall, Wen Dong and Wu Xi lined up according to the size of their official positions, and waited quietly for the emperor to come to court. Time was running out, and an eunuch shouted in a high-pitched voice: "All officials are quiet, the emperor is coming to court."

Following the eunuch's cry, the hall immediately fell silent.

Li Shimin walked into the main hall excitedly, and after sitting down, Manchu Wenwushan shouted long live, and knelt down to salute Li Shimin.

Li Shimin quickly waved his hand.

"Everyone who loves you, don't be polite, you don't need to be too polite."

Li Shimin saw that Li Jing and Zhang Gongjin were also standing behind Duan Wuji and the others!
Li Shimin immediately issued an order to restore the official positions of Li Jing, Li Yaoshi and Zhang Gongjin.

Two people came out and knelt down to thank you.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin grinned when he heard this.

"If I don't restore your official positions quickly, you will be restricted from entering my palace. At that time, a guard went in to report to me and asked me if I would let you in.

Ho!But it pissed me off.

I spent so much effort to invite the two of you back, but the guard stopped you at the gate of the imperial city, it really made me angry!

Two virtuous brothers, don't pick my reason!

To be honest, yesterday I was negligent and ignored this matter.

This is where today's joke came out! "

Li Shimin looked at the civil and military officials and said: "This time we sent troops to fight, it can be said that we have won a complete victory!

Almost everyone followed me to the border. Everyone must know how much we got this time.

After returning to the court, I thought about rewarding everyone according to their merits, but it's not that Li Jing and Zhang Gongjin have something wrong with them!

Therefore, I am not in the mood to arrange this matter anymore, and I have delayed it until now.

It's good that they are back!Come down and we can share rewards according to merit. "

Li Shimin glared at Changsun Wuji fiercely and said: "I almost made a big joke. When I was about to set off for the expedition, Prince Duan told me that he wanted to adopt an iron-blooded policy against the Turkic people, and I also agreed at that time.

To be honest, I have no sympathy for those Turkic people at all!

Since I can remember, these bastards have repeatedly invaded our country. From the Sui Dynasty to the present, their ambitions have never died.

It would be the best to exterminate their clan and country this time.

At that time, my heart softened for a while, and I was about to release those 10,000+ Turkic people.

After thinking about it, I was also scared.

If they are left behind, isn't that a curse for future generations?
Once these Turkic people recover, they will still explode, this is obvious.

As an emperor, I am sometimes impulsive, and some things are not done properly.

Fortunately, General Li Jing led the troops to wipe out most of them, which somewhat dispelled some of my doubts.

You civil servants, this light followed me out, it was not a good idea for me.

Everyone knows that the general will not accept the order of the king outside.

But no one reminded me at that time, which caused me to make the mistake of demoting Brothers Li Jing and Zhang Gongjin to the people.

Fortunately, I found out early and made up for it in time.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be an eternal regret?
Now that the two virtuous brothers are back, I, Li Shimin, would like to express my deep apologies to you two.

Don't worry, you two!I, Li Shimin, will never make such a mistake again. "

Ho!Li Shimin's attitude is too sincere!The vast majority of civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty were deeply moved.

It is really rare for a king of a country to have this attitude!

Li Jing, Li Yaoshi and Zhang Gongjin fell to their knees again.

"Your Majesty, as generals, we should serve our country with allegiance.

If there is any more war on this border, or if there are foreign enemies invading, the two of us will go back.

For the safety of the Great Tang Kingdom, our brother and I would be smashed to pieces, and that is what we would not hesitate to do. "

Li Shimin laughed out loud.

"My dear brothers, get up quickly!
With your two words, I, Li Shimin, have nothing to worry about. "

Afterwards, the civil and military officials started talking about other things one after another, and the emperor dealt with them one by one. After dealing with these miscellaneous things, it was time to disperse the court.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Let's stop here today! Let's disperse."

After hearing this, Duan Wuji and Tieniu were about to go out when Li Shimin stopped them.

"Brother Duan Wuji, Brother Tieniu, Brother Li Jing, Brother Zhang Gongjin, you four don't leave today, let's have a meal together later!"

When Duan Wuji and Tie Niu heard that the emperor wanted to invite the four of them, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu seemed to know each other.

Both of them knew that this was the shock drink that the emperor wanted to give to Li Jing and Zhang Gongjin!

The emperor dismissed two people from their positions as civilians for no reason, and he also felt that it was a bit too much.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Second brother! Then thank you!

Our buddies have thick skins, if you invite us, we will eat as much as we want.

If we are not full, our brothers will not leave! "

Li Shimin laughed out loud.

"I said brother, you can eat as much as you want, isn't it just a meal?
Brother, I can still take care of you.

Come on!Immediately arrange a banquet. "

Following Li Shimin's order, the eunuchs and maids immediately got busy.

Those who move the table move the table, those who put the chairs put the chairs, and those who serve the dishes upwards serve the dishes.

The time is not too long, and a large table is filled with rich dishes.

The five monarchs and ministers sat down around the table.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "You four also know that I don't have a big appetite, you four should eat and drink, and you must not look at me.

I don't dislike you if you eat too much, but I'm not happy if you eat less.

Today, our monarchs and ministers are lucky enough to come, come on!Let's all move our chopsticks.

The four of you are all generals, how can you fight for me in the future if you don’t have enough to eat!

In the past, I was also a military commander. At that time, I ate more than twice as much as I do now!

Since I ascended the throne and proclaimed myself emperor, I have been doing state affairs every day, and the food I eat has gradually decreased. There is nothing I can do about it.

Now that the battle is over, I am afraid there will be no more wars in the short term.

You people enjoy a few years of peace!However, if there is another war in the future, you can contribute to the country again. "

After hearing this, several people quickly replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, if there is another war, we will have to put on our clothes and fight the enemy again. We will not return to the court until we have killed all the enemies!"

Li Shimin listened and nodded.

"I'll just remember what you four said today, and with your few words, I'm relieved.

Come on, let's eat! "
