Originally, just after the New Year, the festive atmosphere was still pervasive in the city of Chang'an. It was the first time after the year to go to court. The monarch and ministers should laugh and talk to each other auspiciously when they met, but the atmosphere in the court hall at this time was extremely gloomy.

"Your Majesty, the children of the Yin family devoted themselves to the Tang Dynasty, and their achievements are worth learning, but now they did not die in battle, but died in Qin Shou's hands in vain. It is chilling!"

Wei Zheng quickly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Qin Shou is definitely not the kind of person who doesn't know the depths, there must be some misunderstandings in it."

"Misunderstanding? What's the misunderstanding? The ancestral halls are filled with sons and daughters of my Yan family who died fighting for the Tang Dynasty, but they are treated like this. How can we face our ancestors?"

"Your Majesty, if you don't give an explanation, I'm afraid the children of the Nanxiao family will feel angry. If something happens, it may be bad for me, Datang!"

"Yeah, it's really unclear if the children in the family are greedy for life and afraid of death, and really don't want to just die like this."

"Your Majesty, Qin Shou is so arrogant and domineering, and he has disturbed the morale of the army. How can he accomplish anything by conquering Chebi Khan?"

Hustle and bustle

noisy

tough

The courtiers, represented by the nobles of Guanlong and others, had faces as cold as ice, and they all went to the memorials to make troubles, as if they couldn't give up until they achieved their goals.

Li Shimin's lips trembled with anger, and he didn't say a word for a long time, which showed that his gaffe at this time was serious.

The generals in the army, more than half of them are from various ethnic groups in Guanlong. If there is a disturbance, the entire Tang army will be in chaos.

The beheading of 46 generals from various clans in Guanlong also means that the Li royal family and the nobles of Guanlong have completely torn their faces.

During this period of time, the Guanlong dignitaries have suffered a lot from Qin Shou. Now that the clansman has been killed like this, no one can let it go. What's more, they have been secretly looking for opportunities to get rid of Qin Shou. It is impossible to let go.

Not only Guanlong nobles

The courtiers represented by Qiwang of the five surnames, who were at odds with the nobles of Guanlong on weekdays, unexpectedly launched an attack at the same time today, and spoke up one after another.

"Your Majesty, my Cui family has no food left."

"My Lu family's salt production is also insufficient this year, and I'm afraid the supply will be difficult in the future."

"Your Majesty, my Wang family in Taiyuan is seriously short of iron this year, and it may be difficult for the Ministry of Industry to cast it."

This is almost a challenge to the royal family of Li and Tang. If the supply of food, grass, salt, and iron is cut off, it is still in Goguryeo and Chebi Khan. Even the territory of the Tang Dynasty will be affected.

Li Shimin's chest heaved and his fingers trembled.

He looked at the ministers,

However, Jin Wang Li Zhi lowered his head, his face seemed sad, and he didn't say a word.

Changsun Wuji's face was silent, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Wu Wang Li Ke wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Li Shimin only felt dizzy and dark-eyed.

"Ahem..." Cheng Yaojin scratched his head when he saw this, and said naively: "My old Cheng thinks that this matter is strange, and it's better to make a conclusion after finding out."

Above the main hall, the atmosphere was so stagnant that water could be wrung out.

At this moment, Hongling arrived urgently.

"Good news!"

After Li Shimin opened the silk book, he patted his thigh vigorously after only looking at it for a few times, and said in surprise, "Okay, okay!"

Forehead?

All of a sudden, the court fell silent.

All the courtiers looked at Li Shimin.

what happened?

His face returned to calm, he glanced at the ministers, and said to the eunuch in a calm tone: "Liu Wu, please read this silk book to the ministers."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The eunuch Liu Wu took the silk book with both hands.

Liu Wu opened his mouth and read: "My minister Li Ji wrote a letter: The army marched northward and after leaving Chang'an, the march was very slow. The minister and others ordered the soldiers to speed up the march. However, Yan Gaomin and other generals disobeyed the military order. In order not to delay the military plane, Su Dingfang and others We have to serve as an example to others.”

"The next day, the marching speed of the army doubled, and finally blocked the two 15 troops of Jiasi Baximi and Ge Luolu. That night, after listening to Qin Shou's suggestion, Su Dingfang, Gao Kan, Qin Shou and others led the army to steal the camp and burn it Even the battalion, the Turks suffered countless casualties."

"Afterwards, Gao Zengsheng and Su Dingfang led [-] cavalry to pursue the enemy army. In this battle, more than [-] enemies were killed. Yanshuhe, the leader of Jiasbaximi, was beheaded, and Chamunata, the leader of Geluolu, was captured alive."

When the eunuch Liu Wu finished speaking, the audience was silent.

Everyone's eyes were as big as donkey eggs, and their mouths could fit into a box.

Everyone was dumbfounded, like petrification.

Shocked by the news, his mind went blank.

There were several seconds of emptiness.

immediately

wow~

There was an uproar in the entire court.

"How is it possible? The 15 cavalry were wiped out by the [-] Tang cavalry?"

A minister of the Yan family swallowed his saliva and asked in disbelief, "Is this correct? 1 people"

"It's incredible, how did you fight this battle?"

Fifteen to one, you must know that the combat power of the Turkic cavalry is still very strong, it is really unimaginable, how did they achieve such a level?

Wei Zheng's face was flushed, and he said excitedly: "Good Majesty, what a great achievement!"

He clenched his palms hard, his joy was beyond words.

Just to put it bluntly, it is worthwhile to cook raw rice and cooked rice lately. If you have talent and military exploits, you will surely be honored in the future. Can your niece's life be worse?

"Immortal achievement!"

There was a lot of exclamation.

Above the court hall, the faces of most of the courtiers suddenly turned red, and their blood surged up.

Emotionally!

Great victory is really a great victory!

At this time, Li Shimin's face could not restrain the excitement in his heart, and his mouth could not be closed from ear to ear.

But the nobles of Guanlong, Qiwang of five surnames and other aristocrats were all dumbfounded on the spot.

ultimate bitterness

Beheaded for resisting military orders?

No, how could this be?

Naturally, they didn't believe this, but the fact was that after beheading the disciples of Guan Long, the marching speed increased greatly, and the key was to achieve a great victory, so beheading the disciples of Guan Long became justified.

If the marching speed is still so slow, how can there be a great victory later?

fire attack?Qin Shou's suggestion?

Li Shimin suddenly remembered something that Qin Shou fished out of the water before he left. At that time, he asked him why he soaked it in the water. He said that it would catch fire if he didn't soak it in the water. Could it be that thing?

Originally, I just wanted him to stay away from Chang'an for a period of time, away from the struggle of the prince to seize the heir apparent.

This guy is really beyond my expectations!

15 cavalry were defeated like this?

Li Shimin squinted his eyes and scanned the various ethnic groups in Guanlong again. While excited, his heart was so clear that a stone fell to the ground.

He hummed softly in his heart.

You just swallow this Coptis chinensis!

"Since this is the case, there is no need to discuss this matter again. This great victory is announced to the world, let's go to court!" Li Shimin got up and left, walking briskly!

His Majesty left, but no one moved above the hall.

for a long time

All the ministers just recovered from the slowdown and looked at each other, still in disbelief.

"What the hell is going on here?"

"Qin Shou? How did he do it?"

"This man is evil!"

Everyone whispered and discussed endlessly,

Jin Wang Li Zhi had a strange complexion, his eyes were straightened, and his heart was shocked.

"Zhi'er, are you still leaving?"

"Uncle..." He raised his head in a daze, only to see that his uncle was also looking at him.

Changsun Wuji shook his head at Li Zhi, telling him not to say too much, let's talk when he returns home.

Within Chang'an

As soon as the news of the great victory was posted, it caused a sensation in Chang'an.

The whole city fell into jubilation, and the people rushed to tell each other.

The festive scene is even more New Year's Eve.

Goyang House

"Princess, we have won. My lord, he has won the battle and wiped out 15 enemy troops." Xiang'er, a servant girl who went to the street, heard the news and ran back immediately.

"Squeak!"

"Squeak!"

The two doors were opened almost simultaneously.

"Who did you hear?"

Gao Yang, who was decorated with bright pearls, rushed out with a look of surprise, grabbed Xiang'er and asked.

Chang Le had already stepped out of the door at this time, but suddenly stopped, and looked at Xiang'er with the same burning eyes.

"The emperor's list is posted in Chang'an City, I saw it with my own eyes,"

"Sister, did you hear that? Mr. Lang and the others have won the battle." Gao Yang looked at Chang Le, his little feet jumped up with joy, and his chest waved to the sky.

"Ok!"

Chang Le lowered her head, her fair and flawless face was flushed red, her thin lips were as delicate as rose petals.

Chapter 257 The Danger Buried in the Night

Inside Jinwang Mansion

"Uncle, hurry up and think of a way, what should I do next?" Li Zhi asked with a worried expression.

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Zhi, pondered for a while and asked, "Zhier, uncle asked you, did you participate in the Guanlong family?"

"How? How could I get involved in those things?"

Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes, nodded and said, "It's fine if you don't get involved. Now that His Majesty's health has improved, and the prince's book has not yet been issued, it is absolutely impossible to arouse His Majesty's dislike."

"Uncle, is it true that he doesn't care about Qin Shou?" Li Zhi frowned, "He was highly valued by his father, but now that he has military achievements, I'm afraid..."

Changsun Wuji shook his head, "This matter is beyond our control. You are not the prince yet, so what if you were Cheng Qian back then?"

Li Zhi took a deep breath, "Uncle's lesson is that Zhi'er thinks too easily."

Changsun Wuji nodded, "Zhi'er, your father is not in good health, and it's time for you to act. Didn't the prescription last time not work? This time is just a chance."

"Eh?" Li Zhi opened his eyes suddenly.

What prescription?Naturally, it is the prescription of cutting one's own flesh as a medicine introduction.

Li Zhi swallowed hard, "Uncle, is there any other way?"

Last time he cut his own flesh and prepared to sacrifice it to his mother, but Qin Shou messed it up, so again this time?

Changsun Wuji took a deep breath, and patted Li Zhi on the shoulder, "The meat can still grow, but once the position is lost, there is no medicine for regret."
