Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 671 Li Shimin is Hurt
Chapter 84 Li Shimin is Hurt

"Please learn from the great general of the Shang Kingdom!" Ma Mengming said sincerely: "The head of the Gaochang Kingdom is kind-hearted. , Gaochang Kingdom is peaceful, and has no ambition to win the world. Today, the Tang Lord is wise, and the world is united, and Gaochang Kingdom will not fall behind. For the sake of the common people, it is decided to surrender itself as a vassal state. From now on, the Great Tang and Gaochang, the monarchs and ministers will be harmonious, and they will never give up fighting, which is really a blessing..."

There was a sneer on the corner of Chen Ying's mouth: "Guan Ma Lingyin is also a person who is familiar with poetry and books, how can he not know that under the sky, is it the land of the king, the shore of the land, and the ministers of the king? The Western Regions have been my Huaxia since ancient times. The territory of the land is inviolable, the gods are inviolable, the Qu family guards according to Gaochang, it is not easy to be vulgar, and the Hu surname is not changed. The merit is great. My emperor is kind, and I will not kill them all. I can protect the Gaochang king's lineage and hereditary succession. If you want to be a vassal, stop playing word games in front of this great general!"

Qu Wentai's face was livid, he broke free from Ma Mengming's pull, and rushed towards Chen Ying.

How could Ma Mengming let Qu Wentai act presumptuously in front of Chen Ying? Once Chen Ying was annoyed, he would send troops from Gaoche City, and within three days they would surely arrive at Gaochang City.

Chen Ying looked at Qu Wentai coldly and remained motionless.In fact, Chen Ying stationed a full 300-person personal guard infantry regiment in Gaoche Guoxiang's mansion, not to mention that at this time Chen Ying was surrounded by experts such as Ashina Simo, Luo Shixin, and Su Dingfang.

Not to mention a mere Qu Wentai, even if Chen Ying, the most powerful general of Gaochang Kingdom, were to assassinate him in front of him, he would definitely come in standing up and go out lying down.

Ma Mengming pulled Qu Wentai with a crying voice: "His Royal Highness, calm down, calm down!"

In fact, Ma Mengming is now the mouse in the bellows, in a dilemma, he dares not offend Chen Ying, nor does he dare to offend the Crown Prince Qu Tai.

Qu Wentai looked at dozens of gleaming sharp arrows in the field, aiming at him, especially dozens of soldiers from the Tang Army looking at him with murderous expressions, which made Qu Wentai dare not move.

Ma Mengming looked at Qu and calmed down, and said to Chen Ying: "Gaochang's surrender to Tang is a matter of sincerity. Gaochang is willing to serve Tang Jun with loyalty, and I hope that Tang Jun will treat Gaochang with a benevolent heart. Don't use swords to send to the world. Corruption... There is no country in the world that will not perish for a thousand years. It is a grand plan to dominate the country, causing suffering to thousands of people. Then the whole Gaochang Kingdom, from the king to the people, must be united as one, united as a city, no one will laugh without fighting, and it will be ridiculed forever."

"Crowds form a city, there is no one without a fight...haha" Hearing this, the smile on Chen Ying's face grew stronger, and he turned to look at Su Dingfang and said: "General Su, this general ordered you to be the vanguard general, to lead Zhaowu The Nine Departments have 2 soldiers attached to the army, and the camp will be pulled out tomorrow morning, and the troops will be dispatched to Gaochang!"

Su Dingfang was overjoyed when he heard the words, clasped his fists and said: "The last general takes orders!"

With that said, Su Dingfang walked towards the door with a broken saber and a bow and arrow on his back.

Looking at this scene, Ma Mengming almost wanted to slap his own mouth.His so-called unity of purpose and sincerity, that all will never stop fighting, is just a rhetoric, and he never thought that Chen Ying would actually give an order to send troops.

Ma Mengming knelt down in front of Chen Ying with a plop, and said with tears in his eyes, "Gaochang Kingdom surrendered to the Tang Dynasty in order to save its soldiers and support the people. Also, the monarch of the Tang Dynasty is the lord of benevolence and virtue, so he will not treat Gaochang people harshly, so he has his heart. Promise me as a minister, I hope that Tang Jun can treat the Gaochang king and his ministers like father and son, forever repairing harmony, and not starting a war. Otherwise..."

Chen Ying looked at Ma Mengming and said indifferently: "Ma Lingyin, you have a good mouth, do you want to say that Gaochang's benevolent government has won the hearts of the people for decades, and today the desert is dangerous, hundreds of thousands of people can rely on it, and Gaochang City can be relied on. All the ministers have the same heart and can rely on it, although Master Tang is strong, he has nothing to fear."

Ma Mengming was already in a cold sweat when he heard this.

Chen Ying looked down at Ma Mengming and said: "Ma Lingyin, this general is a frank person, he does things openly and aboveboard, and never hides them. Even if you talk about breaking the sky today, it is useless. Since I am here If you surrender, the four counties and eighteen counties of Gaochang Kingdom will be preserved. If you don’t surrender, this general wants to see if your Gaochang Kingdom is united as one, united as one.”

Only then did Ma Mengming realize that Chen Ying was determined to destroy Gaochang State.This is the tragedy of a small country, the most helpless choice.

……

If you want to say helpless, it is Li Shimin who is also helpless.He only wanted to lead the army and make meritorious deeds, but Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng didn't let him lead the expedition, but only gave him the official position of Shang Shuling.This Shangshu Ling was the de facto prime minister in the Sui and Tang dynasties.However, Li Shimin's ministerial decree is false. First of all, whether it is the three provinces or the six departments, since Liu Wenjing's death, Li Shimin has no foreign aid at all.

Within Shangshu Province, he has Pei Ji, the Shangshu left servant, and the 21 key departments of six departments, nine temples and five prisons, and he can't get involved in any of them.

Li Shimin is a clay bodhisattva in a temple, so Li Shimin is very depressed.Li Yuan suggested that Li Shimin be the governor of Liangzhou. Li Jiancheng rejected Li Yuan's proposal on the grounds that he was in charge of the three provinces and six ministries, and he was in a key position and should not be taken lightly.

Even if you go to Liangzhou to become the governor of Liangzhou, it will be ten thousand times better than being a decoration minister in Chang'an City.In desperation, Li Shimin summoned Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Xie Yingdeng, Niu Junda, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, and Chu Suiliang to drink in Chengqian Hall.

Everyone was very happy.But Li Shimin had something on his mind, the more he drank, the more anxious he became, his head gradually became cloudy, Li Shimin got up suddenly, walked to the field, and shouted at Lei Yongji: "Go and get me the lance, I want to dance the lance!"

The eldest grandson Wugou who was standing behind the screen watched this scene, felt pity in her heart, and told the maid beside her, "Go, bring the hangover soup to Your Highness!
A maid answered and carried the soup.

Changsun Wugou winked at Changsun Wuji who was sitting outside.

Changsun Wuji saw Changsun Wugou winking at him, so he got up quietly and came behind the screen.

Chang Sungou said in a low voice, "Second Brother shouldn't be entertaining these people today, and you won't persuade them either!"

Changsun Wuji smiled wryly and said: "Your Highness is depressed, besides these people are old friends of His Highness, if they don't talk about state affairs today, nothing will happen!"

The eldest grandson Wugou shook his head and said: "The capital is not in the same army, the second brother is at the cusp of the storm, it's better to restrain yourself, uncle please come to the house today to talk."

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin and the generals who were still in a drunken madness, and said with a smile: "Guanyin maidservant, it's too late today!"

The eldest grandson Wugou's face showed warmth and anger: "No matter how late it is, you have to go, uncle will wait for you!"

Changsun Wuji was astonished.

At this moment, Lei Yongji suddenly rushed into the palace and bowed to Li Shimin: "His Royal Highness, Princess Pingyang, please see me!"

Li Shimin danced like a tiger and a tiger, and was in high spirits. He said angrily, "I don't see anyone here today!"

Lei Yongji had no choice but to retreat towards the outside of the hall.

When Lei Yongji was about to retreat to the gate of the hall, Li Shimin suddenly asked, "Who do you think wants to see this king?"

Lei Yongji replied: "Reporting to His Royal Highness King Qin, it is His Royal Highness Princess Pingyang!"

When Li Shimin heard the words "Princess Pingyang", he didn't need to drink sober soup, and the drunkenness in his head disappeared immediately.

The relationship between Princess Pingyang and Li Shimin is very good, but in the past.Since Liu Wenjing bewitched Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng to compete for the crown prince of the East Palace, the relationship between the two sides became more and more antagonistic, and finally turned against each other.Li Xiuning cut off contact between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng.

Since Li Xiuning got married, Li Shimin hasn't seen Li Xiuning for almost four months.He thought that Li Xiuning must go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing.

Seeing Li Shimin's uncertain face, Cheng Zhijie pushed Qin Qiong, and the eyes of the two met in the air.

Cheng Zhijie's head turned quickly, his reaction was quick, and he got up immediately and said: "His Royal Highness, we are having a banquet today, thanks to His Highness's hospitality. Now we have enjoyed the wine, we will meet again in the future!"

Qin Qiong, Niu Junda, and Xie Yingdeng also got up at the same time.

Li Shimin thought about the same thing again, when their siblings met, they had to say something private, it would be inconvenient for everyone to be present, and it would be a loss of hospitality to leave everyone to meet in a side hall.

So, Li Shimin pushed the boat forward and said: "That's fine, let's meet again in the future!"

Li Xiuning came from outside with two followers, Ma Sanbao and He Yueer.Arriving in front of Chengqian Hall, Li Shimin rushed to Li Xiuning in three steps and made two gestures, his eyes fell on Li Xiuning's swollen belly, and he said with a smile on his face, "Shimin pay homage to Third Sister!"

Li Xiuning was far away, and could smell the smell of alcohol emanating from Li Shimin's body. She suddenly remembered that Chen Ying said that alcohol has a great impact on the fetus.Thinking of this, Li Xiuning stretched out her hand and pushed Li Shimin out, saying, "Stay away from me!"

When Li Shimin heard this, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Li Shimin never thought that Li Xiuning was afraid that the smell of alcohol on Li Shimin's body would affect the fetus in her stomach, but she really disliked Li Shimin.

Li Shimin thought that he was not only suppressed by the prince in the court, but also disgusted by Li Xiuning.

Slowly, Li Shimin's eyes turned red, he didn't know if it was from anger or from drinking.

Li Xiuning looked at the embarrassed Li Shimin, and turned to walk into the hall. Looking at the mess that the court ladies and eunuchs had not had time to clean up, Li Xiuning took a handkerchief, covered her mouth and nose, turned and walked towards the side hall.

Seeing Li Xiuning like this, Li Shimin clenched his fists tightly.

Eyes are red again.

At this time, Li Shimin was not the Tian Khan of later generations, he was just a 20-year-old young man.

He is at an age of extreme self-confidence and conceit. At this young age, once he suffers repeated setbacks, he is easily injured. Now Li Shimin is very injured.

Li Shimin really wanted to cry, but he held back.

Li Shimin silently followed Li Xiuning to the side hall: "I don't know what your business is when the third sister arrives!"

There was no emotion in Li Shimin's tone, as if he was a cold machine.

Li Xiuning said in astonishment: "Well, you little Erlang, you dare to speak officialdom with the third sister, isn't it itchy?"

Li Shimin said lightly: "How dare Shimin!"

Li Xiuning said: "I heard that you are leaving Liangzhou!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes turned red immediately: "Sister San, are you here to laugh at Shimin?"

Li Xiuning asked back: "I'm joking at you, where did you say that!"
