Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chang'an City

"The grassland has won!"

"Xue Yantuo Khan led the remnants of the defeated generals to flee to the extreme north!"

......

A piece of news seemed to come out of nowhere, but everyone believed it very firmly. The reason is that it has something to do with the news coming out of the palace.

Naturally, it is impossible for His Majesty to joke about this matter.

Moreover, Liaodong had ended before, and the only thing that could attract the attention of everyone in Chang'an was the grassland war.

Although the war started a little suddenly at the beginning, many people reacted with some surprises.

But as time goes by, if you don't accept it, you have to accept it, and more people are still looking forward to starting a war on the grassland.

Even though the news came, many people were still in a trance, feeling a little unreal.

You must know that during the Wude period before, when all powers fought for hegemony, among them, the alien races in the grassland were even more unscrupulous, and became the nightmare of many people.

Many people are born with some fear in the face of the grassland alien race, which was caused by the grassland alien race before.

However, after this majesty came to power, in just a few years, he defeated one grassland overlord after another.

Jieli was the most emotional in Chang'an. In order to show his kindness, Li Shimin didn't let the former Turkic king die.

He even conferred an idle title, although he has no worries about food and clothing, but for Xieli who speaks out of the grassland.

This Chang'an is like a prison, destined to be impossible to escape, for Xieli, life seems to be worse than death.

Of course, this former prairie king still didn't have the courage to seek death, and he never thought that he heard the news of Xue Yantuo.

You must know that Xue Yantuo was one of the tribes who once betrayed him, and later became the overlord of the grassland.

I didn't expect to be defeated by Datang in a short period of time. It can be said that this was something unexpected.

"I didn't expect Xue Yantuo to have today."

Even Xieli couldn't help expressing some emotion. Thinking about it now, life in Chang'an seems to be pretty good.

It's just that the things are too expensive, especially the things in the sky and the earth, the portion is not too much.

Of course, I still can't get rid of the word expensive, so Xieli can only go once a few days.

Apart from Xieli, naturally many people were also happy, similarly many ministers also received the news, after a sigh of relief, they were naturally happy.

To know the pressure from the grassland, it can be said that they feel the deepest.

In particular, the Weishui alliance has become a memory that many people don't want to recall.

But now, there is a feeling of elation. Of course, the end of the grassland war does not mean that this matter is over.

There are still many things to be dealt with after that, such as the issue of rewards after the war, and the handling of soldiers who died in battle.

Of course, it's mainly the issue of rewards. After all, dead people don't attract much attention, unless they are people with high status before.

But it is a pity that there is no such person, at most there are only a few school captains, at most, those who have made great achievements among these school captains are selected and named honorable.

This can be regarded as a posthumous knighthood, to inspire future generations. Of course, it is not easy to achieve this honor.

Even the lowest rank of nobles is still a member of the nobles, but their status has undergone a different change.

Ordinary people may pay attention to this issue, but in the eyes of many dignitaries in Chang'an, a small honor is nothing.

On the contrary, he is more interested in rewarding some people, maybe this time someone will be among the top dignitaries.

Of course, the one who attracts the most attention, or the most dazzling person, must be Xue Rengui.

You must know that this time Xue Rengui is sure that the title will go further. Although there is no accurate news, this matter is considered a certainty in the eyes of many people.

He is not lacking in his own ability, and Xue Rengui is now an adult, and An Xuangong is behind him.

It can be said that there are no accidents. Apart from Xue Rengui, there are many rookies, and Cheng Chuliang and others can be regarded as one of them.

However, Cheng Chuliang performed very eye-catching in the battle of Liaodong, which can be said to be a lot of face for the imperial army.

Cheng Chuliang, who was born at the top, still started as a corporal leader among the imperial guards, but he was different from other imperial guards.

Cheng Chuliang was very strict with his subordinates, and he deliberately selected children from ordinary people, but he didn't get along well with other honorable children.

Under such circumstances, Cheng Chuliang played very well in the battle of Liaodong. At least no one thought that the son of the Duke would lead the way.

It can be said that it has added a lot of face to the Cheng family, and this time Cheng Yaojin's achievements in the grassland, it is very likely to pave the way for Cheng Chuliang.

After all, Cheng Yaojin was already the Duke of the state, so it was impossible to go any further, so he would naturally consider his son.

Among them, Cheng Chuliang, the second son, has benefited the most. Of course, the main reason is that Cheng Chuliang himself is also striving for success.

Compared with Cheng Chuliang in history, the current Cheng Chuliang has not wasted too much time.

Although it is impossible to compare with Xue Rengui in martial arts, he is also a rare master. After all, Cheng Chuliang's foundation is not low.

Of course, the reason why Cheng Chuliang changed was because of the experience in the academy.

If he didn't have the experience of the Academy, then Cheng Chuliang would still be a little confused, and he might be a rich place on Chang'an Street.

In particular, many former classmates died on the battlefield, which made Cheng Chuliang feel a kind of speechless silence. Every time when raising donations, Cheng Chuliang must be among the top five donations.

Even though he is the son of the duke, his expenses are not as much as those of the sons of the aristocratic families.

Chapter 599 Accident, Emperor's Test

Naturally, Shu'an was well aware of the turmoil in Chang'an, at least he knew about some of the influential figures.

For example, Xue Rengui said, then Shu An is not curious at all, after all, this former disciple has a lot of halos.

This time, there are a lot of preparations, so it is not surprising that he can achieve enough merits.

Of course, this time it was more of a strategic victory than before.

Therefore, the reward is certainly not generous, but it is enough for Xue Rengui.

As for the name Cheng Chuliang, it seemed to Shu An that there was some surprise.

"I didn't expect this former playboy to become a hot new star in Chang'an."

Even Shu An couldn't help but shook his head and murmured softly.

It seems that all my attention is on Li Tai, which leads to less attention to other people.

In fact, many people have changed a lot unknowingly, and this Cheng Yaojin's second son has also changed a lot.

In other words, Shibie will treat each other with admiration for three days, and Cheng Chuliang's performance this time is really impressive.

No matter what happens to the Forbidden Army next, it is destined not to affect Cheng Chuliang's future.

"The grassland is finally over!"

Of course, Shu An will not ignore the other news, that is, the war is over.

So far, the war initiated by Datang is over, and it can be said that there is no threat to the north in a short period of time.

"I don't know if this emperor has made a decision?"

Of course, Shu An was not only interested in this matter, but also in Li Shimin's actions.

You must know that the forbidden army from Liaodong has returned one after another, but this emperor has not yet acted.

It can be said that we should be waiting for the results of the grassland, after all, the grassland determines the direction of the north.

Even those who are confident will hesitate on this kind of thing.

Now the emperor should breathe a sigh of relief, so it depends on what he will do next.

........

As time went by, this matter gradually cooled down, because the army had not yet triumphed.

You must know that the army has penetrated deep into the grassland, and if you want to return to Chang'an, it will not be so easy.

However, the emperor in the court has begun to take action. Obviously, this emperor is also about to start liquidation.

In the imperial study room, Li Shimin looked at Li Junxian, and his voice could not help but slowly sounded.

"Jun Xian, what do you think of the Imperial Army?"

No matter what, Li Junxian's Baiqi can be regarded as a member of the Forbidden Army.

So he is naturally qualified to speak, and Baiqi must know a lot about the imperial guards.

Li Junxian's understanding of imperial guards is definitely no less than that of an emperor.

So before taking action against the imperial army, he still attached great importance to Li Junxian's opinion.

But at this time, the commander of the hundred knights had a bit of bitterness on his face.

Li Junxian is still clear about what His Majesty wants to do, because there have been some rumors before.

Li Junxian still has many friends in the forbidden army, it is not too late to know about this matter.

Moreover, many people hinted that he said some good things in the previous words, just to prevent this majesty from taking action against the imperial army.

It can be said that the Forbidden Army involved the interests of many people, even Li Junxian was involved.

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Baiqi. On the one hand, Baiqi came from the Xuanjia Army.

In terms of strength, it goes without saying, and Baiqi's main task is not to defend Chang'an.

This matter is even more irrelevant, but in the face of His Majesty's inquiry, it is also impossible for Li Junxian not to say some opinions.

"Your Majesty, the strength of the Forbidden Army is indeed somewhat inferior."

"However, there is still a lot of involvement. In addition, although Liaodong did not perform well this time, there will always be hard work without credit."

After hesitating for a while, Li Junxian still spoke out, pleading for the forbidden army in his words.

Of course, Li Junxian didn't have a bottom line in his heart, because it was obviously impossible for this emperor to change because of his words.

He can only do his best. If the result is specific, then it depends on God's will.

"It's nothing to be afraid of being involved, the Forbidden Army has disappointed me so much."

"If it wasn't for Yafu this time, then I would have been defeated in Liaodong."

Facing Li Junxian's words, Li Shimin shook his head and said aloud, there seemed to be a hint of determination in his words.

Li Shimin didn't hide anything about Yafu. Of course, if he wanted to hide it, it would be impossible.

After all, after seeing so many things, Li Shimin didn't want to deny anything.

Perhaps this emperor is also arrogant, and he doesn't bother to covet this achievement. As for whether he is envious in his heart, it is another situation.

Of course, Li Shimin can only comfort himself to get the gunpowder, so he also has such a sharp weapon.

As for Li Junxian's words, his face was even more bitter. As the commander of Baiqi, he naturally knew a lot of secrets.

So he is also very clear about this matter, and now he has some understanding of His Majesty's mentality at that time.

Presumably he was very disappointed with the Forbidden Army. After thinking about this, Li Junxian also made a decision.

"Your Majesty, Baiqi is different from those forbidden troops."

Li Junxian's face showed a trace of respect and confidence when he spoke, but his words also expressed his attitude.

That is, Li Junxian only cares about his own Baiqi, as for the other guards, he has nothing to do with him.

Obviously Li Junxian no longer intends to intercede for these people, or dare not intercede.

Li Junxian knew that this emperor would not be disturbed by anyone, except that Duke Anxuan.

Hearing Li Junxian's words, Li Shimin couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

This time, he probably didn't test Li Junxian's taste, after all, the thoughts of this commander of Baiqi are also worthy of attention for Li Shimin.

But the final result is still good. With Li Junxian's help, it must be easier to integrate the forbidden army this time.

In fact, Li Shimin planned to divide the Forbidden Army into two parts, one of which was the selection of the original Forbidden Army, and selected the original elites.

The other part is to select the elite from among the frontier troops and guarding soldiers to form another part.

It may be that this idea is still a compromise thought by Li Shimin, a method that can maintain the combat power of the forbidden army without weakening the strength of the frontier army too much.

And for this, Li Shimin is going to let soldiers from all over the country have a big contest, and then select the best ones from them, and then come to Chang'an for the contest.

It can be said that this is inspired by the previous Cuju, and it can now be used in the selection of forbidden troops.
