I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 42 Li Shimin reads Li Zheng’s records late at night

"Brother Qin!"

"What's wrong with Wan'er now? Why did she ignore us when she saw her?"

"Now he is locked up in his room every day, and he won't even let me see him in person."

"Why has Wan'er changed so much from the past? She is no longer enthusiastic about us!"

"Brother Qin, tell me, is Wan'er acting this way because of that boy?"

Changsun Tai looked at the Qin brothers and said with a depressed expression.

Hear Changsun Tai's inquiry.

Qin Jiansheng and Qin Haisheng both had hesitation on their faces, not knowing how to reply.

a while.

Qin Jiansheng said:

"Young Master Changsun, my younger sister Wan'er is overly sad because of her father's death and has nothing to do with that boy from Jinyang Mansion."

"Master Changsun, you are thinking too much."

heard.

Chang Suntai nodded. At this time, the butler brought a cup of tea, took it, took a sip, and asked:

"Brother Qin."

"What is that boy from Jinyang Mansion doing now?"

Qin Jiansheng and his brother looked at each other, and Qin Haisheng understood:
  "Young master grandson!"

"I heard that this boy joined the Northern Expedition. He faced the ferocious Turks on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition. He has no eyesight with his sword and will never come back."

"Young master, you don't need to worry. After a while, my little sister will recover and she will definitely follow your wishes."

"During this period, you have to understand my little sister's sadness. Her father's death has been a huge blow to her."

At this time, Qin Jiansheng comforted Changsun Tai:

"Sir, during this period, our brothers will try our best to persuade my little sister. If you have time, you should come to the Duke's Mansion often to help us persuade my little sister."

"As time goes by, my little sister will naturally understand the young master's wishes."

Changsun Tai bowed his hand:
  "Then it's up to you, Brother Qin."

"Brother Jiansheng mentioned last time that he wanted to find a position in Zhongshu Province. I have already told my father, and my father agreed."

"During this period, the Emperor is concerned about the Northern Expedition. When the Northern Expedition is over, my father will mention this matter to the Emperor."

"Thank you, Mr. Changsun."

……

The night was dark.

The Duke's Mansion, the boudoir in the west wing.

"Little sister!"

"You haven't rested, have you? Come out for a moment. Your eldest and second brothers have something to do with you."

Qin Jiansheng and Qin Haisheng stood outside the boudoir. Qin Jiansheng knocked on the door and said carefully.

"Big brother!"

"I feel a little uncomfortable. If you have anything to do, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Qin Wan'er's voice was a little low.

"Little sister!"

"It's news from the Northern Expedition, about Li Zheng."

"You don't want to hear it either?"

Qin Haisheng said.

“Zheng…Brother Zheng, what’s wrong with him?”

heard,

Qin Wan'er's voice in the boudoir changed, and she asked anxiously.

However, the boudoirs are still not open.

The Qin brothers stood at the door for a while. Seeing that there was no intention to open the door, Qin Jiansheng sighed, exchanged glances with his brother, and then said:

"Little sister, then you can rest!"

"I have a message document from the Ministry of War here. I left it at the door. Please take a look at it later."

"Second brother, let's go and let my little sister have a good rest."

Qin Jiansheng placed the Ministry of War documents in his hand at the door, then gave Qin Haisheng a wink, and the two of them turned and left.

After the two left, they waited for a while.

The boudoirs are open.

A maid came out, picked up the Ministry of War documents on the ground at the door, quickly entered the room and closed the door.

"Miss!"

After the maid entered the room, she immediately handed the Ministry of War documents left by Qin Jiansheng to Qin Waner who was sitting on the bed. Qin Waner opened the document without any delay, but after seeing the contents inside, her pretty face instantly turned pale.

"Brother Zheng...why are you so stupid? Why did you go to the battlefield?"

"Didn't you promise your mother that you wouldn't join the army? Why did you..."

"Also, you said you would come to Chang'an to find me. You...won't die!"

Qin Wan'er's face turned pale, tears burst out of her eyes instantly, and she beat the embroidery bed desperately.

"Miss!"

"what happened to you?"

"You must not do this...or else you may develop fetal force, which would be serious."

The maid on the side saw this and quickly comforted Qin Wan'er.

Then she looked at the Ministry of War documents Qin Wan'er threw aside, which clearly recorded information about Li Zheng:
  Li Zheng, fifteen years old, lived in Changzhi County, Jinyang Prefecture. His original household registration was a merchant. He changed his registration from the army to a military registration. When the Northern Expeditionary Army attacked the Turkic Royal Court a month ago, he was unfortunately shot by a sharp arrow and died heroically for his country.

Seeing this news, Qin Wan'er suddenly felt despair.

All hope in her heart was gone.

Qin Wan'er felt dizzy, fell directly on the bed, and passed out.

……

The next day.

The palace, the imperial study.

There are several large piles of memorials on the imperial case, piled up like a hill.

There were dozens of thick candles in the royal study, illuminating the room brightly.

Emperor Zhenguan, Li Shimin, sat on the dragon throne and carefully corrected the memorial.

At this moment, the personal eunuch came in to report, and the commander of the Imperial Guard, Wang Fangyi, asked to see him outside the palace.

"Xuan!"

Li Shimin did not stop writing and gave instructions without raising his head.

"Prince Xuan Fangyi has an audience."

The eunuch stood at the door and shouted.

Soon, Wang Fangyi, who was wearing bright armor, walked quickly into the imperial study room.

"Your Majesty, this is the record of Dingyuan General Li Zheng."

Wang Fangyi knelt down in front of the imperial case and placed a copy of the record on the imperial case.

"Ok!"

Li Shimin nodded, put down the memorial in his hand, and then picked up the book.

After reading it.

Li Shimin looked surprised:
  "Is this Li Zheng only fifteen years old?"

You know, according to Tang law, only those who are sixteen years old can join the army, except for special circumstances.

"Your Majesty, the records of Li Zheng's life were obtained directly from the Ministry of War. The records are clear and there should be no mistakes."

"Judging from the life records recorded in the book, this Li Zheng is indeed a talent. He has made extraordinary achievements for the Tang Dynasty at a young age. He also relied on his military exploits to reach the rank of General Dingyuan. No wonder the Weiguo Guild was in the victory report. I especially mentioned Li Zheng."

Wang Fangyi said respectfully.

Li Shimin didn't say anything. He picked up Li Zheng's book and read it carefully.

It was discovered that Li Zheng lived in Jinyang Mansion before joining the army.

Li Shimin suddenly felt a little emotional. Fifteen years ago, he led an army to fight fiercely with Liu Wuzhou in Jinyang Mansion.

"Time flies so fast. It has been fifteen years since Cuiping and I separated."

Li Shimin muttered to himself in a daze.

Come back to your senses.

"Pay close attention to this Li Zheng. He has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty at a young age, and he can set an example for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin ordered Wang Fangyi.

The reason why Li Shimin asked Wang Fangyi to review Li Zheng's life records at the Ministry of War was entirely because Li Jing highlighted Li Zheng in the victory report.

It is rare for an ordinary officer to be so prominent in the Tang Dynasty's victory report.

This also aroused Li Shimin's curiosity.

"Sir, take the lead!"

Wang Fangyi knelt down on one leg and replied respectfully.

"All right!"

"If you have nothing to do, just step back!"

Li Shimin waved his hand towards Wang Fangyi, signaling him to step back and prepare to continue correcting the memorial.
