Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

"Marshal, Tubo has swept away most of the property."

The soldier's report naturally made Li Ji feel bad. Originally, Li Ji wanted to have a head-to-head confrontation with Tubo.

In the past, there was no sign of Tubo retreating at all, not to mention that it seemed more like Tubo didn't want it.

"In the past, I always heard His Majesty praise Songtsen Gampo."

"I even heard that Duke An Xuan had a very high opinion of Songtsen Gampo."

"If you choose this time, it is really difficult."

.....

Li Ji thought silently, Tubo had lost thousands of troops in what he said before, but he actually admitted this loss.

It can be said that this was somewhat beyond Li Ji's expectations. Originally, he thought that Tubo would persist for a while.

They walked very simply, and all of them withdrew before Li Ji reached the king's city.

Now this British prince seems to be unable to do so, which is extremely uncomfortable.

Without the support of Tubo, Gaochang would be a mob with one punch. Under the normal performance of the Tang army, it can be said that it was defeated with one blow.

It is not as difficult as before. It can be said that Li Ji's attainments in running the army are not so high.

However, Li Ji took over smoothly, which also made the faces of the princes a little hotter.

Because the simpler the Duke is, the easier it is to win the entire Gaochang, so for these princes, it is a negative comparison.

Among the many princes, Li Tai is the better one, followed by Li Ke and Li You. As for the remaining two, it is not bad if they are not autistic.

"Finally we can return to Chang'an!"

Li Tai also gradually recovered from the wry smile before, as if he didn't want to do this.

On the contrary, he was looking forward to returning to Chang'an. After all, he never thought about leaving Chang'an from the very beginning.

He didn't expect so many things to happen in Gaochang, it can be said that some of them were beyond his expectation.

As time went by, the news of Gaochang's victory also spread to Chang'an.

This news made many people excited. Originally, defeating Gao Chang should not be a big deal.

But the news from Gaochang was not very good.

Many people even thought that a big war would break out in Gaochang, but in fact there was no such thing.

Tubo actually retreated, it can be said that this was unexpected before.

You must know that Tubo's words are very tough every time, but this time they retreated.

However, except for the fact that people like Li Ji and others would consider this matter, most people are still happy.

"The Tang Dynasty won the battle of Gaochang!"

"The British Duke successfully won the entire Gaochang in one fell swoop."

"Hey, it would be great if the British Crown Prince had the result sooner."

.....

Cheers came from Chang'an City, but there were some nuances in the cheers.

Because of the comparison, the impression of the prince and others is even worse, but for Li Tai, the fourth prince, it has changed a lot.

In the past, many people in Chang'an had laughed at Li Tai, even ordinary people had heard of it.

But now the trend of the conversation has completely changed, and the test of this fourth prince is not so good.

"The fourth prince is still cautious."

"Adventurousness is not missing from prudence."

"Yes, this time the performance of the fourth prince can be said to be completely impeccable."

.....

Even people who laughed at Li Tai before, but now they are praising the heavens, it can be said that the human relationship is warm and cold.

With Li Ji's words, he would definitely not be able to come back immediately, but these princes didn't have too many worries.

Even in order to prevent any further accidents, three thousand cavalry were specially sent for escort.

After all, the future prince of the Tang Dynasty is very likely to be selected from among several people, and even Li Ji dare not be careless about this matter.

All the way back to Chang'an, for Li Chengqian and the others, it should be a kind of torment.

If this one escorted the team, it could barely be regarded as a triumphant army, but there was still a lot of moisture.

Even Li Shimin didn't even ask, so naturally it was impossible to greet him.

After all, it is good that the emperor did not capture these sons back. It is impossible to count on others.

Interestingly, every prince entered Chang'an City and left in a hurry.

They had no intention of staying on the streets of Chang'an City at all, and they all scattered in all directions.

Li Chengqian's words meant that he wanted to go back to the East Palace to lick his wounds and wait for the final verdict, and Li Yin's words were similar.

Li Yin, who has even given up his fantasy, seems to retain his current status as a prince, so he even wants to beg his mother and concubine.

As for Li Ke and Li You, although there was not much pressure this time.

But I still want to know what happened to me and others after they left Chang'an.

Whether it's other people's news, or the news of yourself and others, it can be said that you can't miss it.

As for Li Tai, it is the simplest, that is to go to see his concubine first, and then enter the palace to see the queen mother.

Compared with rights, Li Tai still pays more attention to feelings.

palace

"Are you all back?!"

In the imperial study room, Li Shimin's eyes flickered, as if he didn't know what he was thinking.

In the past, there were a lot of discussions about the sons in court, and of course it was mainly about Gao Ming and Li Yin.

After all, other people would not have suffered such a big loss and made such a mistake.

However, no matter how we discussed it before, Li Shimin didn't make any statement. Instead, there was a feeling that silence is golden.

It can be delayed for a while, but it cannot be delayed for a lifetime, and it is time to make a decision.

Now that Gao Ming and others have come back, it means that this emperor will also be punished. It can be said that the whole Chang'an, and even the whole world are waiting for this matter.

If you want to satisfy the people of the world, then the punishment must not be light, this is where Li Shimin struggles.

Chapter 8 One Sixteen The Favored Emperor

Li Shimin finally went to the place where Guanyin's maid was, and happened to meet Li Tai who was visiting.

He happened to be listening to Li Tai explaining his experience in Gaochang to his mother.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

"I've seen my father!"

.....

Li Shimin's arrival was regarded as an interruption, Li Tai and Ya Ya quickly saluted.

"Qing Que, you might as well tell your father about it."

Li Shimin also showed some interest and said out loud, no matter what news he received.

But most of it is the final result, where can I tell it in person like the person involved.

"Since the emperor likes to hear what the father wants to hear, the minister can't refuse."

Li Tai said with a smile on his face, he didn't have much awe for this royal father.

Unlike other princes, he said whatever he had, and he would not hide his thoughts from this royal father.

Of course, he didn't have any bad thoughts, probably just a wish to eat and wait to die.

It's a pity that this wish seems to be getting farther and farther away from him. Faced with this situation, Li Tai can only smile bitterly in silence.

"Okay, Royal Father is looking forward to your story."

Li Shimin said with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes, in fact, there are still many doubts about Li Tai's meritorious service.

The most important point is how his own son became enlightened and went to ambush Tubo.

After all, this son had no intention of competing with others before, which can be said to be very curious.

Li Tai's words also started from the beginning.

But Li Zhi and Ning Lan didn't know that the time was coming, so they got involved.

The two talked more because they were interested in Li Tai's story, but they didn't think of a deeper reason.

Following Li Tai's story, he finally understood why Li Tai was able to ambush Tubo.

Luck, one's own ability, and opportunity can be said to be indispensable.

Just as the Great Tang didn't take Gaochang seriously, so the Tubo vanguard generals didn't think the Tang princes could do anything.

"Qingque, this experience is a bit unexpected."

In the end, Li Shimin could only say aloud, this experience is really not what Qingque wants to compete for.

If he substitutes Qingque's thinking, it seems that there is no problem in choosing every step.

For example, although there is a problem going directly to the Gaochang King City, although it is a different road at the beginning, then there must be no problem.

After all, even he didn't think Gao Chang could have much resistance, let alone Li Tai, so his judgment was not wrong.

The only thing is that he didn't inquire about other princes' information before, and Li Shimin felt a little helpless about this.

Although he knew the idea of ​​not competing, he didn't even pay attention.

During this night's conversation, Li Shimin stayed overnight in the queen's bedroom, but even on the second day, Guanyin's maidservant still didn't say anything.

He even pleaded for Gao Ming, but Li Shimin showed a lot of gentleness on his face.

in the hall

"I implore Your Majesty to make decisions for the soldiers who died in Gaochang."

As for this question, it finally came, and many princes also stood up.

Except for Hou Junji, people like Cheng Yaojin and others couldn't stay out of this matter.

Of course, these military generals still showed an attitude, that is, they should not let these princes who do not understand military command lead to the tragic death of innocent soldiers.

Although this is the first time, it cannot be guaranteed that it will not be the last time.

In the past, many generals also felt that there was nothing wrong with Gao Chang, so let these princes make trouble.

Unexpectedly, these princes kept refreshing their cognition.

Naturally, whether it is to comfort the soldiers of the three armies or other aspects, this matter cannot be compromised.

In the past, Li Shimin must have had a lot of worries if the generals joined forces on other matters.

But this time, Li Shimin didn't blame anything.

"There are national laws, and there are family rules."

"I don't know how you, dear ministers, think you should be convicted."

This time, Li Shimin was not as silent as before, but instead asked the ministers.

"Your Majesty, if I think it should cut off the position of the crown prince and the sixth prince."

"This is inappropriate. The crown prince is the eldest son of His Majesty, and it is only right and proper to be the crown prince."

"The prince has no virtue, how can he command the entire Tang Dynasty in the future."

.....

It seemed that this time the emperor's words had some determination, and even the ministers who had not participated before all spoke out.

In the end, even Changsun Wuji and the others ended in person. Of course, similar to Fang Xuanling's words, they still hang on high and don't care about the dispute at all.
