Man Tanghong

Chapter 139 Li Yuan's Arrogance

Li Yuan wanted to kill someone.

"Going back to everyone, it seems that there is good news arriving in Beijing."

Liu Jun was guarding the gate of the hall, but he didn't hear it clearly. Hearing Li Yuan's anger, he hurried into the hall to agree, but he gave an ambiguous answer and didn't say anything dead.

"Good news? Could it be that Liu Heita was caught?"

When Li Yuan heard the good news, his anger dissipated a little.

"I don't know, the person who sent the victory should have arrived at the Tai Chi Hall."

Liu Jun bowed and said.

Li Yuan doesn't feel much about the news now, he only cares about Li Yuanji's safety now, so he sat down slowly, and said impatiently: "Then let them come here quickly."

Liu Jun smiled wryly in his heart.

With the speed of the messenger who delivered the good news, before he sent someone to remind him, he might have arrived at the Hall of Liangyi, so it was meaningless to send someone to remind him.

However, Li Yuan ordered, so he could only follow suit.

As soon as Liu Jun left the gate of Liangyi Hall, the messenger who delivered the good news showed up at the gate of Liangyi Hall, and he also saw the good news.

After Liu Jun vaguely heard it clearly, everyone was dumbfounded.

But he was not stupid for a long time, but rushed into the hall quickly, and reported to Li Yuan excitedly.

"Everyone, Wei Ze Pass is a great victory, His Royal Highness King Qi is guarding Wei Ze Pass."

Li Yuan stood up with a 'huh', and said in disbelief: "What did you say, you say it again?!"

Li Jiancheng also stood up in astonishment, looked at Liu Jun, and waited for Liu Jun to answer.

However, before Liu Jun opened his mouth, the voice of the messenger delivering the good news had already reached the ears of Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng.

Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng looked at each other with shock and disbelief.

"Yuanji killed Liu Heita?"

"Also cut off the wolf head banner of the Turkic Khan?"

"..."

Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng said one by one, and finally said in unison: "And repelled the 200,000 Turkic army?"

The first reaction in Li Yuan's heart was 'When did my bastard son become so fierce'.

Li Jiancheng's first reaction in his heart was, "Yuanji must have lied about his military achievements. If he has this kind of ability, how can Shimin stand out from the crowd?"

"The minister sees the sage, and sees His Royal Highness the Prince."

While Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng were thinking wildly, the messenger had already broken into the hall.

A huge wolf-headed banner, and a box with the head on it, were respectfully placed in front of Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng by the messenger.

Seeing the wolf head banner and the box with the head on it, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng believed it or not.

After all, no matter what the Turkic people did, it was impossible for them to chop off the wolf's head banner and give it to Li Yuanji to play.

"His Royal Highness repelled the 200,000 Turkic army ten days ago, and specially sent ministers to report the victory to the saint."

"In this battle, our Tang dynasty beheaded 300 people from Liu Hei's tribe, and also beheaded Liu Hei's horses. In this battle, our Tang dynasty beheaded [-] heads of Turkic people, beheaded the Turkic Khan, and drove the Turks away. Outside Weize pass."

"In this battle, I won a big victory in the Tang Dynasty, and I won the battle!"

"..."

The messenger spoke word by word.

Li Yuan has already walked down the imperial steps and walked to the front of the wolf head banner.

Li Yuan has seen the wolf-headed banner of Turkic before, so he judged the origin of the wolf-headed banner at a glance, "This is not the one handed down by Qimin, nor the one given to Liang Shidu by Shibi. This is the wolf-headed banner of Tuli, right?" ?”

The messenger hurriedly agreed, and handed the victory letter to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan took the victory report document, and did not read it in a hurry, but ordered the messenger to open the box, inspected Liu Heita's head, took another deep breath, opened the letter box, and took out the victory report document.

Li Yuan quickly read the victory report documents, and laughed loudly, "Yuan Ji really won! It's still a big victory!"

Speaking of this, Li Yuan also yelled at Li Jiancheng: "You have always said that Yuanji is not good, embarrassing the big responsibility, what about now?"

Li Jiancheng said without hesitation: "It's because we have blind eyes and can't see Yuanji's goodness. It's better that father knows people with his eyes."

Hearing this, Li Yuan smiled even brighter.

Li Jiancheng continued: "Yuanji's crisis has been resolved, and he has made great contributions in defending Weize Pass. Father can rest assured."

Li Yuan glanced at Li Jiancheng, and smiled happily: "Not bad! Not bad!"

Li Jiancheng pondered and said, "I just don't know how much of Yuanji's victory this time was his own, and how much of it was helped by others."

Li Jiancheng suspected that there was moisture in Li Yuanji's credit.

The smile on Li Yuan's face withdrew slightly, and he glared at Li Jiancheng, "Yuan Ji has done you a great favor, it's fine if you don't speak nice words for Yuan Ji. Why are you picking on Yuan Ji's thorns?"

It doesn't matter how much moisture is in Li Yuanji's victory report, even if it is all moisture.

Li Yuan also admitted without hesitation.

A good news from Li Yuanji solved all the worries in his heart.

He didn't have to worry about Li Yuanji's safety anymore, and he didn't have to worry about Li Shimin falling out with him after he broke his promise.

When Li Jiancheng was reminded by Li Yuan, his heart beat wildly.

"It's my son who said something wrong. Yuan Ji's victory is definitely due to Yuan Ji alone. Father should reward Yuan Ji heavily."

Li Yuan snorted, and said in dissatisfaction: "What do you mean by Yuan Ji's work alone? In the first place, it was Yuan Ji's work alone. It is certain that Yuan Ji will be rewarded heavily."

Speaking of this, Li Yuan arrogantly ordered Liu Jun, "Draft the decree, first add [-] households in Yuanji, and the rest of the rewards will be decided after I discuss with the officials."

Li Yuan is quite generous to his son, especially the son who has done meritorious service.

After defeating Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong, Li Shimin was not only named Tiance Admiral above all his ministers, but also his households were added to [-] households, which is quite arrogant.

Although Li Yuanji's contribution this time is not as good as Li Shimin's contribution to defeating Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong, it is still quite remarkable.

So Li Yuan very generously added Li Yuanji's household closure to a position comparable to Li Shimin's.

This is very subtle.

Li Jiancheng felt the subtlety of it, so instead of stopping him, he smiled and said, "Father must not forget the people under Yuan Ji's command."

Li Yuan nodded solemnly, "That's natural."

Leaving aside the fact that Li Yuanji made such a great contribution, the people under his command ascended to the heavens together. The contribution made by Li Yuanji's subordinates alone is worthy of a good reward.

Especially the one named Su Dingfang, who knows what it means to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and also knows that after joining the Great Tang, he must be rewarded heavily for working hard for the Great Tang and making contributions to the Great Tang.

……

Not long after Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng had finished talking, the officials rushed to the Tai Chi Hall to ask for an audience.

Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng immediately changed into court clothes and rushed to the Tai Chi Hall.

After accepting the pilgrimage of the officials, without waiting for the officials to question the victory of Wei Zeguan, Li Yuan ordered the messenger who passed the victory to read out the news of Li Yuanji's victory, and sent the leaders of the Langtou and Liu Heitai. The level was sent to the officials for them to watch.

The officials saw the heads of the wolf head banners and Liu Heitao, and they believed in Wei Zeguan's great victory.

But many still raised doubts.

After all, Li Yuanji's "great achievements" in the past are too many, and it is hard for them to imagine such a strong record all of a sudden.

However, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng had their own calculations in their minds, and they bit them to death. Whatever Li Yuanji Jie reported in the newspaper, that was what it was, and there would be absolutely no false elements.

Li Yuan, in particular, was completely like, 'None of my sons are useless, one is better than the other, and you can just climb up and sing your praises, and don't make a lot of noise'.

Even though the ministers were full of doubts, they could only reluctantly accept the matter.

Then he began to reward Wei Zeguan for his meritorious deeds.

Li Yuan arbitrarily added [-] households to Li Yuanji, only the people in Li Shimin's house raised the alarm, and the others didn't care at all.

If Li Yuanji's merits are true, then with Li Yuan's generosity, it is reasonable to add [-] households to his son.

Li Yuan didn't mention any rewards for Li Yuanji after he sealed Li Yuanji's household, it seemed that there was some premeditation.

Therefore, when the ministers discussed the rewards for Wei Zeguan, it started with Luo Shixin.

Because in Weize Pass, besides Li Yuanji, Luo Shixin has the highest status.

Luo Shixin's title has not changed, his title has not changed, and his official position has not changed. One hundred households have been added, and one official position as a right hussar in the Qi Wangfu Zhifu has been added.

It is worth mentioning that before this, when Li Yuanji's first memorial was sent to Chang'an City, Li Yuan had just rectified the name of Li Yuanji's show operation, and added Luo Shixin as the commanding army of the second left commanding army of Prince Qi's mansion.

After discussing Luo Shixin's reward, it turned out to be Gao Yaxian.

Because Li Yuanji sent Gao Yaxian to Luoyang City after recruiting Gao Yaxian and Su Dingfang, Yuwen Shiji reported the matter to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan didn't care about Gao Yaxian at first, and even had the intention of sending Gao Yaxian underground to reunite with Dou Jiande.

But because Li Yuanji wanted to protect Gao Yaxian's life, he was in no hurry to act.

Now that Gao Yaxian's adoptive son has made great contributions, Gao Yaxian can be regarded as barely exonerated.

Gao Yaxian's reputation under the command of Dou Jiande and Liu Heitai is not low. Although he didn't do anything for Datang in this battle of Datang, but he contributed a hero, that is credit.

So after a discussion among the ministers, Gao Yaxian became the right servant of Xiangnan Road.

At the beginning, the ministers wanted to confer titles on Gao Yaxian, accept the positions of general and general manager of the army, but Li Yuan was worried about Gao Yaxian, so he vetoed the title and the post of leader of the army. In the position of a senior official in Xiangnan Road, he stood tall.

After Gao Yaxian, it was Li Zhongwen.

Li Zhongwen was promoted to be Shi Guogong, and his households were closed to [-] households. He also became the governor of Bingzhou, and he also shaded his son as a thousand cattle to prepare for himself.

After Li Zhongwen, it was Xie Shufang.

Xie Shufang chopped off Tuli's wolf-headed banner, greatly boosting Datang's prestige. After years of suffering in front of Turkic people, Datang finally felt proud, so after discussing with the officials, Li Yuan arrogantly gave it to Xie Shufang. A duke.
