Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"Isn't it the first time that I ordered the killing of prisoners and the massacre of the city?"

"In my opinion, he should be severely punished, so that he has a little memory!"

"Li Jing, during the march this time, this kid did not cause trouble for you, did he?"

Don't look at Li Shimin's powerful words, but in his heart he is quite honored and proud.

At this time, Li Jing replied seriously: "Your Majesty has also been a man who has fought for half his life, and he is even more brave, the emperor on horseback."

"Naturally, it is also clear that for our generals, ordering the massacre of Turkic aliens is not a big deal."

"Over the years, their Turks have repeatedly committed evil deeds in our territory of Tang Dynasty."

"Destroy my city, kill my soldiers, slaughter my people, and mutilate my Central Plains women and children."

"This heinous crime, this bloody revenge, shouldn't it be reported?"

"The reason why we don't do it is because we are afraid of those censors and civil servants in the court who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and the demeanor of a great country."

"This Li Qiu has always acted strangely, let alone being ignorant of the world in court."

"He doesn't care about the memorabilia of these civil servants, let alone fame, fortune, and titles of power."

"That's why he dares to do things we dare not do."

"But that's exactly what I'm worried about."

Chapter 441 Disobedience and Beware of Slander

After that, Li Jing beat around the bush again and said a lot.

The vast majority of them mean that Li Qiu is really the future leader of the Tang army, please pay attention to it and cherish it.

Moreover, Li Qiu's son, although he has a stubborn and undisciplined temperament, has a pure heart of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country.

At the same time, the most rare thing is that Li Qiu is extremely indifferent to things like military power and power.

Not even half of his interest in vulgar objects such as gold, silver and jewelry.

This is extremely rare and rare.

Now Li Qiu's Youzhou and the Youzhou Army are getting stronger and stronger, and their military achievements are also becoming more and more prosperous, maybe it will attract people's envy and concern.

So in the future, once someone falsely accuses Li Qiu of being self-respecting and disobedient, His Majesty must be vigilant and must not believe it.

Don't let Li Qiu's innocent heart be chilled because of these treacherous ministers.

After hearing Li Jing's words, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing.

Speaking of Li Jing, don't worry, I am not the kind of emperor who is jealous of the virtuous and capable, and narrow-minded.

Only when our Great Tang army is strong can our Great Tang truly be strong.

I have never worried about any general in the army who has the intention of treason!

In fact, when Li Jing said this, Li Shimin also felt it was funny.

If it were an ordinary person, maybe Li Shimin would have to think about it.

But Li Qiu was the only one, that was his own son, it was too late for him to cherish him, how could he listen to the slander of these jesters?

If someone who is not open-eyed takes the initiative to provoke, Li Shimin will also clean it up together!

……

In Furong Garden, when Li Qiu, A Ke and others returned safely, the entire Furong Garden entered into a joyous state.

Wu Jue also ordered that the children of Furong Academy have half a day off and order a banquet in the kitchen at noon to celebrate the return of the prince and Princess Yunzhong together.

At this time, more than three months had passed before Li Qiu set off for the expedition.

Luo Kexin had finally passed the three-month dangerous period, and her abdomen was already very obvious when she was pregnant with Liujia.

Seeing Luo Kexin greeted with Wu Jue's support, even A Ke was taken aback, and hurriedly and cautiously went to help him.

Li Qiu, on the other hand, laughed even more, happily wanting to squat down and get close to his wife's big belly.

This scene made Wu Sui laugh out loud, and Luo Ke was embarrassed, so he hurriedly stopped him.

"Husband, you are now the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty, the famous King of Beiping, and the Great General."

"How can you not pay attention to your appearance in such a large crowd?"

"Be careful if those people see the joke, or even be reported by the censor."

Hearing this, Li Qiu waved his hand indifferently.

"Isn't it enough for me to be happy with my unborn son?"

"As for those censors, why have I ever cared about them?"

"When our son is born, we'll go back to Youzhou, or simply go and visit the whole world."

"Wouldn't it be nice to see the landscape and historic sites of the Tang Dynasty?"

After speaking, Li Qiu returned to the house with Wu Jue and Luo Kexin.

At this time, Li Qiu asked about Luo Kexin's recent situation in detail.

Then Luo Kexin told him that the period before Li Qiu's army set off was the most difficult.

Always seeing red, not very good.

Coupled with the hot weather, I suffered a lot.

But right now, after the conditioning of Sun Simiao and the imperial doctors, it is getting better and better, so there is no need to worry about it.

At noon, after eating, Li Qiu accompanied Luo Kexin back to the bedroom.

The two whispered again, and when they talked about worrying about Li Qiu, Luo Kexin wept sadly again.

Said that if something happened to Li Qiu this time, leaving their orphans and widows alone in the world, Luo Kexin really didn't know what to do.

Seeing this, Li Qiu, who knew her background and childhood well, naturally comforted her.

And he assured her that for the next period of time, he would not go anywhere, and would just stay by their mother and son's side all the time.

To witness the birth of a child.

Afterwards, Li Qiu tried to put his ear on Luo Kexin's big belly, but he couldn't hear anything.

I can't see the little feet on the belly.

The fetus here is not yet ready.

Then he had no choice but to change direction, to like and get close to the granary of his future son, which had become very large.

At this time, Luo Kexin gently stroking her husband's head, said with a light smile: "Husband, I can't serve you right now."

"Don't bully others."

"Go to Wu Jue quickly, and let her accompany your husband well."

"It seems that there are still too few people in this family who can serve the husband."

"Why don't we take Ake into your husband's house too?"

After joking around for a while, seeing that Luo Kexin was a little sleepy, Li Qiu also withdrew and let her have a good rest.

As for himself, he came to Wu Jue's side.

For more than three months, Li Qiu has never been close to a woman.

As for A Ke, it's better not to be close than to be close, but it will provoke him even more furiously.

So, all the "anger" of the past three months was directed at Wu Jue.

In the end, before Li Qiu, who was extremely strong, waited for anything, Wu Jue was already as tired as if he had been washed on the bed.

Repeatedly begging for mercy.

Said that he was weak and couldn't match Kexin's sister, and begged his husband to let him go.

I really can't bear it, why don't I just ask A Ke to help me?

When A Ke was mentioned, Li Qiu became inexplicably angry again.Then... (save some traffic for you guys)

……

On the morning of the next day, since the army of Li Jing and Li Qiu had returned.

A lot of things are finally on the agenda.

At the beginning of the early dynasty, Li Shimin ordered the eunuch to read out the achievements of Li Jing's army this time.

Such as breaking into the tent of the Turkic king, beheading how many enemy troops, capturing [-] cattle and sheep, [-] to [-] horses, and a lot of gold, silver and jewels.

There are countless precious ancient books, antiques, cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings.

After reporting these achievements, Li Shimin emphasized again that this battle is of great significance to the entire Tang Dynasty, which is enough to be recorded in the annals of history.

In doing so, he also set a tone for today's court.

Even the emperor and the imperial court are so high-level publicizing their achievements, you can figure it out later.

Chapter 442

However, Li Shimin's imagination was pretty good, but these censors and officials of the gentry did not save him any face.

As soon as the early dynasty began, Xiao Yu, the imperial historian, took the lead in launching the attack, and led the officials to write a report to criticize the massacre of the city by the king of Peking, Li Qiu.

It is said that I am a holy country and a country of etiquette. How is this different from the Turkic barbarians?

There are also some ominous omens, such remarks as the King of Peking, Li Qiu, must be severely punished.

For Xiao Yu's almost crazy attitude, Li Shimin actually understood it quite well.

Xiao Yu's wife is the niece of Empress Wen Dugu's family.

Li Yuan is the nephew of Empress Wenwen Dugu, and Li Yuan and Xiao Yu's wife are aunts and cousins.

The relationship between Xiao Yu and the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan is also very good.

Before the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin received Xiao Yu and his wife, and they all wanted to respectfully call them cousins ​​and uncles.

This is why Xiao Yu was the only one who, as an important minister in the Wude period, was still active in the Zhenguan period for nearly 20 years.

He was appointed prime minister many times.

The reason why Xiao Yu was so crazy this time was because of his sister who was born and raised with his compatriot, Empress Xiao.

After the tragic death of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and the demise of the Sui Dynasty, Empress Xiao passed through the hands of several heroes, and finally went to East Turkic with Princess Yicheng.

But at the time when the leaders of Xue Yantuo's tribe, Yi Shi Yi Nan, Zhi Shi Si Li, Qi Bi He Li, etc. killed the Ashina Heluo Falcon in an attempt to destroy the Turks.

A fierce battle broke out on both sides.

Influential Turkic figures such as Empress Xiao and Princess Yicheng were all killed.

However, these things happened extremely hastily, and no news was sent back, and Datang didn't know anything about it.

From Xiao Yu's point of view, everything that Li Jing, Li Qiu, Tang Jian and others said when they came back may be fabricated.

What actually happened, what he knew, was that the army of Li Jing, Li Qiu and others broke into the Turkic king's tent.

Then he ordered the massacre of the city, and only brought back countless gold, silver, jewelry and antique cultural relics.

And, the news of the death of his own sister, Empress Xiao, and some relics.

In fact, it was these relics and related information that Tang Jian paid special attention to inquire about the relationship between Xiao Yu and Empress Xiao in consideration of the old relationship.

After all, the two of them are both important ministers of the former court, and they have some old feelings and origins.

But I didn't expect that now Xiao Yu beat him up and made Tang Jian resentful, thinking that they ordered the massacre of the city and killed his sister and related people together.

Li Shimin's face sank when he heard the censors and officials' memorabilia to Li Qiu.

But in desperation, seeing that he couldn't understand the reasoning with this group of people, Li Shimin had no choice but to make a conclusion directly.

"This time, the massacre of the city by the army really hurt the peace of heaven."

"Whether it's the commander-in-chief Li Jing, the deputy commander Li Qiu, especially the supervisor Tang Jian, and other generals, they cannot escape the responsibility of being incapable of running the army."

"But because of their bravery, they have made great achievements for my Tang Dynasty."
