The Poor Son-in-Law of the Tang Dynasty

"Report to Your Majesty, this is the head of Tuoba Chici. Due to the long time, even though the humble post has undergone anti-corrosion treatment, it is still a bit unsightly. If Your Majesty wants to see it, please be mentally prepared!"

The soldier quickly said respectfully.

"Hahaha, no problem, no problem!"

When Li Shimin heard this, he became even more excited, and waved his hands directly: "Show me, come on, I led the army to fight back then, what bloody scene haven't I seen? What is this?"

"Yes!"

The soldier got the order and immediately handed it over to another eunuch serving him.

The eunuch first inspected it and made sure there was nothing wrong with it, then turned around and returned to the jade steps, bowed his waist and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin first opened the wooden box with great excitement and took a look. It was indeed a bit unsightly inside, but Li Shimin could still distinguish Tuoba Chici's face.

Seeing this, Li Shimin was very excited, and immediately closed the wooden box again, and took the battle report.

After reading the contents of the battle report, Li Shimin stood up in a jiffy.

All the ministers trembled in fright, and quickly knelt down.

"Okay, okay!!!"

Li Shimin laughed wildly, laughing heartily: "Ye Chen really deserves to be the young hero I like. With only 200 people, he can conquer Diezhou!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the officials below changed wildly, all of them were horrified and felt unbelievable.

"How is this possible? There are at least tens of thousands of Dangxiang troops in Diezhou, and only 200 people can defeat so many enemies? Ye Chen is a god, can't he come down to earth?"

"That's right, who wrote this battle report, is it so exaggerated?"

"Your Majesty, this matter is too strange, please be careful and verify the facts before making a judgment!"

After hearing the questions from the ministers, Li Shimin couldn't help but stare blankly, and suddenly realized something was wrong.

Conquering Diezhou with 200 people is indeed too unreal.

Thinking about it, Li Shimin continued to look at the bottom of the battle report.

When he finished reading the following content, he frowned.

According to the following content, Ye Chen temporarily recruited the people in the city to resist the enemy. Strictly speaking, this matter was regarded as privately recruiting troops, and it was suspected of rebellion.

But according to the special circumstances at the time, it was indeed a helpless move.

Therefore, no punishment can be considered as appropriate.

But what displeased Li Shimin the most was that this battle report was submitted by Ye Chen in the name of the third team of the fifth regiment of the Regiment Guards.

"The signature of this battle report, why is the third team of the fifth regiment? This is Ye Chen, is he leapfrogging to report his military exploits?"

Seeing the end, Li Shimin's face darkened.

This Ye Chen is too arrogant, right?

Although it is true that he has made great achievements, it is a big taboo to report his military achievements without authorization!

Because the battle report he wrote himself, who knows whether it is true or not, has not been reviewed and verified by the senior regiment guards. Even if Ye Chen writes it in a hype, no one else knows.

After listening to Li Shimin's words, the ministers below began to whisper.

"What? This kid actually leapfrogged to report his military exploits without authorization? Is he crazy?"

"Who is this kid? Why is he so arrogant?"

"It is said that he is the son-in-law of the Duke of Dai..."

As everyone said, their eyes turned to Li Jing involuntarily.

Li Jing was so frightened that he trembled all over, and quickly lowered his body even lower, not daring to fart.

He was also very depressed.

What the hell is Ye Chen doing?

It was a good thing, but if he did it like this, wouldn't it be death?

"Li Jing, isn't Ye Chen your son-in-law? Please explain, what's going on?"

Li Shimin's eyes moved, he immediately looked at Li Jing, and asked meaningfully.

Hearing Li Shimin's question, Li Jing was even more terrified. He quickly raised his head and shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know..."

"I don't know? Wasn't he sent to the battlefield by you? Don't you know?"

Li Shimin snorted angrily, looking very displeased: "Did you specifically tell him to report to the next level in order to grab credit?"

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"

Li Jing's face changed wildly, and he hurriedly explained anxiously: "It's true that I asked Ye Chen to go to the battlefield, but I didn't explain it like this. Who knows what kind of muscle that kid made a mistake to do such a rebellious thing... ..."

"okay."

Li Shimin frowned.

He just wanted to try Li Jing's attitude. Now it seems that the relationship between Li Jing's family and Ye Chen is not good.

Otherwise, Li Jing would definitely try every means to protect Ye Chen, instead of trying to distance himself from him.

Although he didn't know what Ye Chen was doing now, Li Shimin always felt that Ye Chen didn't do it on purpose. He didn't get along with Ye Chen for a long time, but he still knew him a little bit.

Ye Chen doesn't seem to be such an unruly person. Since he did this, there must be his reasons.

Thinking of this, Li Jing waved his hands and said, "Okay, let's all disperse, this matter will be discussed after the army returns!"

"Sir, please retire!"

Only then did the crowd stand up and retreat in a hurry.

……

At this time, Liu Hongji had already dealt with all the affairs in Diezhou City, and would send a large army to control all the remaining people of the Dangxiang clan, ready to wait for their punishment.

If nothing else happened, the people in the Dangxiang clan would be arranged to live in the Central Plains, and some of the young and strong men would become the labor force of the Tang Empire and go to work in various places.

But this is all arranged by the imperial court later, Liu Hongji only needs to guard them now.

After everything was done, Liu Hongji handed over the detailed battle report to the cavalry, and the cavalry rushed back to Chang'an to report first, while he led the army and prepared to return slowly.

……

ten days later.

In the outer suburbs of Chang'an, where the regiment guards are stationed.

An army of 10 people returned in a mighty way and settled here.

And Liu Hongji led a group of generals, preparing to enter the city to meet the Holy Majesty.

The battle report had already arrived in Chang'an three days ago and was handed over to Li Shimin. If there were no accidents, Liu Hongji would have rewarded him directly when he met the Holy Majesty.

Liu Hongji couldn't help being excited when he thought that he hadn't moved in this position for many years, and that he might be promoted after returning.

The news of the return of the regiment guards was also very powerful, and the people in the entire Chang'an City were boiling.

As a low-level military officer, Ye Chen is not qualified to meet the Holy Majesty directly, so he can only wait for Liu Hongji to finish meeting the Holy Majesty and get the Holy Majesty's reward order, and then distribute the reward through the Ministry of War.

"Miss Liu, we are here."

After arriving at the regiment guard station, Ye Chen came to Liu Yuxin's carriage and said something softly.

Liu Yuxin also noticed that the carriage stopped, and immediately opened the curtain, and got out of the carriage with Ye Chen's support.

These days, Ye Chen and Liu Yuxin also had a very happy chat. Along the way, the two spent time chatting with each other, and the relationship became more and more harmonious.
