Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

Li Junxian said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Su Dingfang captured Tuli Khan of the Turks and the leaders of eight of their eighteen tribes on the grassland. Jieli Khan escaped."

"Bring him up." Li Shimin said, "My dear ministers, what's the matter with Su Dingfang?"

Zheng Zhengjin whispered, "Your Majesty, this man is an eighth-rank lieutenant at the East Gate. When I left the city earlier, I saw that he was upright and incorruptible, so I asked him to go to Jingyang with General Li Junxian. When I said goodbye to him in the morning, I asked the commander of the Jingyang garrison to give him two hundred cavalrymen and asked him to pay attention to the two big fish, Jie Li Khan and Tuli Khan. I didn't expect that he would actually do it."

Then Su Dingfang pressed Tuli Khan and walked into the tent, "Kneel down."

Su Dingfangli shouted, and seeing that Tuli Khan was tough, he kicked Tuli Khan in the knee joint. Tuli Khan couldn't understand why he was caught. Damn it. He was so angry.

"I, Su Lie, pay my respects to Your Majesty." Su Dingfang saluted Li Shimin.

"Well done, you are worthy of being a good man of our Tang Dynasty. I will record your contribution first, and then reward you when we return to Chang'an." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"I dare not take credit for it, but it's a pity that Jie Li Khan ran away and I couldn't catch up with him." Su Dingfang said with some regret.

Zheng Zhengjin asked, "Brother Su, are there any casualties among the two hundred cavalrymen?"

Su Dingfang replied: "No."

"That's good," Zheng Zhengjin was really afraid that if there were casualties because of him, that would not be a good thing.

"Tuli, are you not surprised at all to see me?" Li Shimin's words almost left Zheng Zhengjin speechless.

"Hmph, it's just a matter of success or failure. But I just won't accept this." Tuli looked back at Zheng Zhengjin, who was wearing a mask, and gnashed his teeth in hatred.

Zheng Zhengjin said angrily: "What the hell are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll smash your dog head into pieces."

Cheng Zhijie, who was standing by, was dumbfounded. This catchphrase was his.

Everyone held back their laughter, knowing that Cheng Zhijie's specialty was Biqinniang.

Tuli Khan bit his gums until they were almost broken, and said, "Okay, I'll remember you."

Li Shimin said: "Su Dingfang, you take Tuli and all the Turkic tribal leaders away and guard them. We will take them to Chang'an tomorrow."

Su Dingfang said: "I obey your order."

Then Su Dingfang took Tuli Khan and others to another place and imprisoned them.

Li Shimin smiled, looked at Zheng Zhengjin, and said, "Prince consort, accompany me to take a walk by the Wei River."

In fact, Li Shimin wanted to ask Zheng Zhengjin what kind of reward he wanted for such a great contribution.

All the ministers knew the truth, especially the military generals, who felt that Zheng Zhengjin was not a human being. How could he be so brave if he was a mortal?

Zheng Zhengjin followed Li Shimin to the Weishui River. Li Shimin, who was walking in front, looked at the night sky and asked, "Prince consort, you have made such great contributions. How about I confer you the title of King of One Word and One Shoulder?"

Zheng Zhengjin said with disdain: "Your Majesty, forget it, I don't care at all, I just want to be idle."

"You have made such a great contribution. If I don't reward you, wouldn't it be a disgrace to many generals?" Li Shimin said seriously. "Anyway, I just want to be idle. It's good to be a salted fish. As for your so-called "one word shoulder to shoulder king", I really don't want it." Zheng Zhengjin really wanted to be idle, and isn't it good to have a few beauties waiting for him at home?
Li Shimin said with a headache: "Okay, don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. But having said that, you and Le Yan got married this time, and you went to the battlefield before you even had the bridal chamber. Le Yan is worried about you in the mansion."

"Isn't it normal for my wife to worry about me?" Zheng Zhengjin rolled his eyes speechlessly at Li Shimin.

"I have sent a secret order to Li Jing and Li Ji, asking them to take advantage of the opportunity to capture Dingxiang and cover the rear. This time, we must inflict a heavy blow on the Turks and scare them to death." Li Shimin hated the Turks to the core.

Zheng Zhengjin said, "Jie Li Khan did not gain any advantage during his trip southwards this time. He was completely slaughtered by our Tang army. Your Majesty, don't you want to capture this traitor Liang Shidu?"

"As a Han Chinese, Liang Shidu actually defected to the Turks and even helped them to move south and conceal information. So I think Liang Shidu deserves to die."

"As for Liang Shidu, I am now quite troubled. I plan to take him down next year or the year after. What good ideas do you have, my dear son-in-law?" Li Shimin looked at Zheng Zhengjin with burning eyes.

Zheng Zhengjin said: "Your Majesty, I think Liang Shi can be persuaded to surrender. After all, both Bu Yi and Liang Shi have launched a war."

"Now that the Turkic army, which is said to have a million troops, is marching southward, the news of their demise will spread throughout the world in no time. By then, you will be famous." Li Shimin looked at Zheng Zhengjin with a smile.

"Come on." Zheng Zhengjin rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"As for what you said about persuading Liang Shidu to surrender, I will consider it and arrange for envoys to go and persuade him to surrender. If Liang Shidu refuses to listen, then we will have to fight." Li Shimin did not want to start a war. After all, the Tang Dynasty was now recuperating.

"Well, this is your own business." Zheng Zhengjin would not give Li Shimin any advice.
"In this case, I should set off for Chang'an. You should also return to the city tomorrow. I will be ready to meet you at the city gate tomorrow." Li Shimin said.

"Forget it. I want to go back home to see my young wives tomorrow." Zheng Zhengjin really missed his wives at home.

"Let me make the arrangements on this matter." Li Shimin was afraid that he would go out of the city to welcome them tomorrow and end up in vain, so he said to Zheng Zhengjin seriously.

"Okay. Then, Your Majesty, I won't see you off. Goodbye." Zheng Zhengjin said with a happy smile.

Li Shimin then summoned many civil and military ministers and rode away on horseback.

On the way, Li Shimin asked Li Dao Zong: "Uncle Wang."

"Your Majesty." Li Daozon didn't know why Li Shimin called him alone and called him Uncle Wang.

"I plan to marry Xueyan to Zheng, do you object?" Li Shimin thought to himself, "Hurry up and object, hurry up."

"On behalf of my daughter, I thank the Lord for his grace," Li Dao Zong said with a smile, and then continued: "Hey, Your Majesty, you don't know, my daughter is not good at literature or martial arts, but the Duke Xian fell in love with her, which is a blessing she has cultivated for eight lifetimes."

Li Shimin was speechless. If Li Xueyan knew what Li Daozong said, she would be furious. Li Shimin added two more words to his evaluation of Li Daozong: "Show off."

"Okay, let's hurry back to the city. Go," everyone rode their horses at full speed upon hearing this, heading towards Chang'an City.

After running for forty miles and half an hour, Li Shimin returned to the palace, and the others went back to their homes to find their mothers.

But Changsun Wugou couldn't sleep at all because she was worried about Li Shimin's safety.
