Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

The messenger swung both hands together, arched the battle report with both hands, and handed it an ordinary wooden box.

Chamberlain Zhao took it respectfully with trembling hands, turned around and handed it to Li Shimin's case.

"It's up to you to read it here!"

Li Shimin's eyes were sharp, no matter what the outcome was, he thought of it.

Zhao Nei waited, slowly unfolding the battle report, glanced at the ministers, and seeing everyone looking at him in unison, he didn't dare to neglect, slowly launched the battle report, and read it out loud, word by word: "The guilty minister will go out to fight. Since then, I have deeply felt the heavy sin and regretted that I had lost the grace of God..."

When the ministers heard it, they couldn't help but change their faces. The prince called himself a criminal?

Did he think he had done something wrong! ?

No one dared to think about it.

Cheng Yaojin did not wait for the servants of Zhao to continue, and said angrily: "What kind of battle report is this?! Where did His Highness the Crown Prince come from? Who wrote this?"

Wei Zhengdao: "You old rude, let's listen to Zhao Nei's recitation first, and then it's not too late for everyone to discuss whether they are guilty or not. Why is this?"

Li Shimin's face was blue and he waved his hand, and Cheng Yaojin had to retreat.

The servant of Zhao had to continue reading: "...The sinner thought that he could defend the three armies with one person's strength, but now it's ridiculous! The sinner thinks about it every night now, and marching into Songzhou is the sin that the sinner can't forgive..."

Hearing this, the ministers were surprised, why was His Royal Highness the prince's army in Songzhou?

The more they heard this, the more confused they became. Fang Xuanling and the others were even more frowning when they heard it, and looked at Li Shimin's expression from time to time.

Chapter 834: A Thousand-Year Miracle!

Fortunately, Li Shimin was calm, and no one knew what he was thinking. As long as the emperor did not get angry, Fang Xuanling would feel at ease.

The servant of Zhao continued to read: "...The sinner has committed a lot of sins. Since he was captured, he has not dared to ask for forgiveness from the heaven. Ganbu leads the entire Tubo army and the whole people, and bows to the east!"

The criminal minister Songtsan Gampo led the entire Tubo army to kneel to the east. After reading the last sentence of the last sentence, Zhao Neishi felt a heavy hammer in his heart. At this time, he realized that this was not a battle report at all!

Wen Yanbo, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu, Zhang Liang, Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin and other two groups of civil and military ministers felt like they were hammered after hearing the last sentence. Everyone was thinking the same question: Where is this? What battle report? !

There was a dead silence in the Taiji Palace, and the two classes of civil and military ministers opened their mouths and stared at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin burst into tears, and his hands trembled slightly. As soon as the battle report came, he thought about a lot of results, but he didn't expect this unexpected result.

The accident came too quickly - this is not the battle report sent by the prince, but the book of begging and surrender sent by Songtsan Gampo of the Tubo country!

In other words, the prince was not only fine, but also completely conquered the Tubo country, defeated the entire Tubo army, and even captured Songtsen Gampo alive!

This kind of record is something that no one has thought of. Before this Tubo surrendered, it was impossible to think of such a great record, and even if he won, he would not have won such a big victory.

The monarchs and ministers of Taiji Palace did not expect such an outcome. After a moment of surprise and shock, a thunderous shout suddenly broke out in the hall: "Okay!"

This is the spontaneous applause of the ministers, and they no longer care about the etiquette in the court.

Li Shimin wiped away his old tears and nodded, "Okay... okay!"

"Long live, long live, my emperor! Long live, long live, His Royal Highness!"

"All the ministers!" Li Shimin stood up, refreshed for a moment, smiling, and looked outside the hall, the sky was as blue as jade.

Wei Zhengdao: "Your Majesty! The crown prince used [-] troops to destroy the Tubo country, which is a miracle in the world. It is unprecedented to capture the king of a country alive, and I'm afraid that there will be no one here! Who would dare to fight with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Comparing scheming, daring and courage? The prince is truly an outstanding person in the world, and I ask Your Majesty to reward His Royal Highness!"

Wei Zheng is notoriously tough and straight-tempered in the imperial court, and he is also upright.

Fang Xuanling played: "Your Majesty, the Tubo country is so vicious, it invades Songzhou by itself, and regards me as no one in Tang Dynasty. And the prince only leads an army to beat him and capture the king of other countries alive. His Royal Highness has made great contributions. , Your Majesty naturally wants a reward, but..."

Li Shimin knew what Fang Xuanling was going to say, and said, "Prince's extraordinary merits, Li's genealogy should also record this, it just said that it is to be rewarded... It is to be rewarded, but everyone tell me, what is the reward? What is there? Reward?"

The ministers thought about it, and it was true, not to mention whether His Royal Highness would want it, what kind of reward did he ask for for his extraordinary achievements?

And with his ability, what would he wish for?What does he have?

That is to say, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made meritorious deeds and returned to the dynasty, the imperial court could not even give him a reward!

Suddenly thinking of something, Li Shimin said anxiously, "Isn't there a box that came along with the delivery book at the same time, open it quickly!"

When Zhao Guard heard the words, he opened the wooden box and handed it over to Li Shimin's case.

Li Shimin glanced at it and knew what it was. He laughed and brought it up, but it was the jade seal of the Tubo Kingdom.

Li Shimin held the Imperial Jade Seal in his hands and glanced left and right. Of course, the officials recognized that this kind of Imperial Jade Seal could only be mastered by the monarch of a country, and any imperial decree had to be stamped with a jade seal to be useful.

When the imperial jade seal of the Tubo kingdom fell into the hands of the emperor, that means that the emperor had already held the supreme power of the Tubo kingdom, and he was in control of the country.

Li Ji said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, there will be no more wars in the northwest from now on, this battle will be done once and for all. My Tang Dynasty territory can extend thousands of kilometers to the northwest again. This is a sign of prosperity for the country and prosperity for generations!"

"That's natural!"

Li Shimin nodded, holding the jade seal and smiling: "This thing is good!"

"Now that there is no war in the northwest, Li Jing doesn't have to go out."

Li Ji said: "The Ministry of War will issue a document, and the army will return to its original place."

Xiao Yu went out and said, "Now that the world's major events are settled, and His Royal Highness will return at that time, the old minister thinks that the court's third-rank and above civil and military officials will welcome them out of the ten-mile pavilion to show the crown prince's achievements."

Cheng Yaojin shouted, "It's natural. If anyone doesn't go, I'll catch him too!"

There was a burst of laughter in the Tai Chi Palace.

Attendant Zhao attached to Li Shimin's ear and whispered, "Your Majesty, there is a secret letter in the wooden box!"
