Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1267 Delayed for half a month
It was a bit strange for Qin Tian to hear that he was going to be the governor of Jinling City himself.

Of course, he didn't think anything of such an arrangement.

The governor's official position is not small, and he has the title of county prince, no one dares to despise him.

After Qin Tian thought about it carefully, he more or less understood what was going on.

At the end of the morning dynasty, the weather in Chang'an City suddenly looked gloomy, as if it was going to rain.

Qin Tian was just about to leave, but was stopped by a palace official.

"My lord, the Holy Majesty asked you to go to the imperial study."

Qin Tian was not surprised, Li Shimin must have had a deep meaning in letting him go to Jinling City, so it is imperative to tell him about it.

And Qin Tian also had something to say to Li Shimin, so he didn't delay much, and went directly to the imperial study with the palace servants.

When he came to the imperial study, Li Shimin was already waiting for him.

"Today I punished you, removed your official position, and demoted you from the capital. Do you have any complaints against me?"

As soon as Qin Tian came in, Li Shimin asked, as if he didn't care if Qin Tian blamed him.

Seeing Li Shimin like this, Qin Tian quickly said: "What the Holy Majesty said, I did something wrong. It is only natural for the Holy Majesty to punish the minister, and the minister understands."

Qin Tian knew Li Shimin's intentions, but he didn't say anything.

As a courtier, sometimes you have to learn to pretend to be stupid.

People who are too smart generally don't live long.

Especially in front of the emperor.

Li Shimin smiled softly. He thought Qin Tian would say something else, but he didn't expect to just say this. If so, some things can only be brought up by himself.

"It's good not to blame me. In fact, I also know that you negotiated peace with Tubo for the good of my Tang Dynasty. I shouldn't punish you to go to Jinling City again. However, something happened in Huainan, and I'm afraid it's up to you to solve it." .”

After Li Shimin said it, Qin Tian showed surprise and said, "Something happened in Huainan, but the king of Huainan is about to rebel?"

When he was in Jiangnan Road, Qin Tian uncovered a treason case, but the Huainan King Li An who was related to the treason case was safe and sound.

Because the evidence at the time was insufficient, and Li Shimin couldn't do it rashly, so he had to let him go.

But now that Li Shimin wanted him to go to Jinling City, it was probably because the King of Huainan had acted.

Li Shimin nodded: "I have always sent people to pay attention to the movements of King Huainan. Recently, King Huainan has frequently mobilized troops and horses. I am afraid that there are signs of rebellion, but other than that, we have found some evidence of his real rebellion. , so I’m going to send them to Jinling City to help me solve this matter.”

It is normal for Li Shimin to send troops to suppress a vassal king's rebellion. It will not make other vassal kings feel that he intends to cut down the vassal.

But King Huainan was rebellious, and Li Shimin was worried after all. That's why he thought about sending Qin Tian there. No matter what, it was always safer.

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Qin Tian already understood what Li Shimin meant, but he didn't immediately respond.

"Your Majesty, the King of Huainan is afraid that he will not rebel for a while, so I want to delay my post in Jinling City for a month."

Qin Tian had been away from home for several months, and he left again just after he came back. He was a little incompetent. He was not considered a good husband, nor was he considered a good father. No matter what, he wanted to stay at home with his family.

As for King Huainan, he will definitely not be able to reverse this year, so don't worry.

Moreover, letting the King of Huainan know that he is going can also make the King of Huainan more anxious, maybe he will show his feet?
Li Shimin was a little angry when he saw that Qin Tian wanted to delay one more appointment.

But thinking that Qin Tian just came back, if he were to let him go like this, then the Ninth Princess would not have to make trouble with herself?
"I'll give you half a month at most. I'm worried about the situation in Huainan."

Li Shimin's words were orders, and after he finished speaking, Qin Tian was no longer allowed to bargain.

Qin Tian had a look of grievance, but he could only accept it.

After the two monarchs and ministers finished speaking, Qin Tian finally left the palace.

But at this time, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, followed by autumn rain.

Autumn rain has always been swift and violent.

Looking at the pouring rain, Qin Tian smiled helplessly.

Because of Li Shimin's call, he can't go home right now.

He could only wait for the rain to subside before going back.

He stood under the eaves outside the palace to shelter from the rain. There were few pedestrians on Suzaku Street, and even many shops on both sides were closed.

If it was before, the east and west cities must be very noisy, but now they can't hear anything.

The autumn rain kept falling, Qin Tian frowned slightly.

The autumn rain was swift and violent, coming quickly and going quickly, but today it lasted a little longer.

Qin Tian hesitated for a while, and finally rode back in the rain. He was a little bit desperate, and didn't want to wait any longer.

What if it rains all the time?

The fast horse galloped in the rain, and soon Qin Tian's clothes were soaked through by the rain.

And just after he rode his horse for half a stick of incense, the heavy rain that seemed to be falling suddenly stopped.

It was afternoon at this time, and there was an autumn wind blowing from time to time.

Qin Tian sat on the horseback, feeling a little dejected.

He felt that his luck was a bit too bad. Why did the rain keep falling if he didn't leave, and the rain stopped when he left?

Now he's soaked all over.

Maybe I have a little bit of a fleeting disadvantage.

Qin Tian thought in his heart, this year's war, defeating Xue Yantuo and defeating Tubo, this is a great contribution, if others, I am afraid that he will be promoted to the Duke immediately, but he is lucky, not only the title has not been promoted, but also demoted up?

Isn't this a fleeting disadvantage?
Qin Tian smiled wryly, and felt that he was thinking too much, so he hurried to the mansion without any hesitation.

After a heavy rain, the air seemed very fresh. As soon as Qin Tian entered the gate of the mansion, Tang Rong and the others immediately came out to welcome him.

"Sir, you are back. I heard that you have made great achievements. How did the Holy One reward you?"

"You have defeated Xue Yantuo and Tubo, has your Majesty promoted you?"

Everyone asked excitedly, but Qin Tian suddenly didn't know what to say.

In my own situation, I am afraid that I will disappoint them.

Qin Tian shrugged and told them about the situation. After he said this, Tang Rong and Lu Huaniang were a little dumbfounded, and then a little angry.

"How can the Holy One do this? Mr. Xianggong, you have made great contributions and saved the Tang Dynasty. Why didn't the Holy Majesty reward you and demote you?"

"That's right, that's right, it's too unfair for His Majesty to do this..."

Qin Tian became more and more helpless, so he could only quickly tell the few of them about the situation.
