Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

However, the thing that worried him most happened!

"Your Majesty, the people from the Baiqi Division have seen that His Royal Highness the King of Yue has recently gotten very close to Mr. Fang Yiai and Liu Xuanxiang from Mr. Liu's family!"

The first thing Li Er did when he returned to the palace was to ask for news.

Hearing Wynn's reply, Li Er was furious!

"You son of a bitch! Sure enough, he has no intention of fighting for the position!"

With Li Chengqian's performance getting better and better, Li Er had already given up the idea of ​​letting Li Tai take over.

When he heard that those 'second sons' were messing around, the last thing he wanted to see was Li Tai getting involved.

"Call Fang Xuanling and the others over here! I have to ask them how they discipline their children!"

Ever since Li Er returned to the palace, Chai Shao hastily rushed over to plead guilty. Hearing this, he sighed helplessly, knelt down on one knee, and said: "The crime lies with the humble minister, and please punish him!"

Li Er shook his head, and said: "No wonder you, I also heard that you have acted fairly in the matter of Ling Wu going to the Liaodong front."

Chai Shao sighed again, he didn't expect that his own affairs would lead to such a big incident.

For Chai Zhewei, he also felt very chilling.

Both he and Li Er felt that Chai Lingwu was forced to leave by Chai Zhewei!

The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other silently for a long time, Chai Shao said quietly: "If this matter cannot be resolved, Your Majesty can deal with Chai Zhewei at any time, and I will never complain!"

Li Er waved his hand, "Whether it's for your sake or Pingyang's sake, I won't deal with my nephew. Get up and listen to what Fang Xuanling and the others have to say later."

Soon, Fang Xuanling and others, summoned by His Majesty, rushed to the palace.

They are all human beings, and when they saw Chai Shao, they immediately understood what was going on.

Li Erpi said with a nonchalant smile: "It seems that all of you, Aiqing, have been living very leisurely recently."

The corner of Fang Xuanling's mouth twitched a few times, including Wei Zheng, everyone else looked the same.

"The subject is guilty"

Li Er snorted lightly. In fact, he also knew that Fang Xuanling and the others were shot while lying down.

Calling them over was purely to vent their anger.

But just when he was about to vent his anger, Wynn suddenly ran in again.

You know, Wynn is a real 'big inner master'. However, with his skill, when he ran across the threshold, he almost fell down!

"Your Majesty! Liaodong battle report! Chai Lingwu led [-] elite troops to capture Jian'an City, and killed more than [-] soldiers to capture Goguryeo veteran Gao Huizhen alive!"

Wynn's ecstatic voice made everyone's faces change suddenly.

Li Er's whole body was agitated.

"Bring it here!"

Fang Xuanling and the others opened their mouths wide, thinking they heard it wrong.

Chai Lingwu? !

Gao Huizhen, that is a veteran of Goguryeo who has been famous for many years. When the former Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, he was also a ruthless man who repelled the Central Plains army several times.

Chai Lingwu actually captured him alive? !

Also captured Jian'an City? !

You have to grasp the scale when you are joking!

Everyone turned their attention to Li Er, wanting to learn the truth from him.

Li Er looked at it for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"God bless me Datang! God bless me Datang!"

Looking at Chai Shao again, he became much more pleasing to the eye than before.

"Chai Qing's family, you gave birth to a good son!"

Chai Shao was dumbfounded a long time ago, shaking like a pendulum.

Liu Zhenghui said sourly: "Master Chai is really lucky."

Chai Shao just woke up like a dream, and asked stammeringly: "Your Majesty, Ling Wu is not injured, is he?"

Jian'an City is an important border defense town in Goguryeo. When the former Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, tens of thousands of lives were lost under Jian'an City!

Can Chai Lingwu's pampered and broken physique take down Jian'an City?

Li Er smiled so much that he could see his throat.

"This is where I am gratified! Of the five thousand cavalry under Chai Lingwu's command, only a few dozen were slightly injured. It can be said that not a single soldier was wasted!"

Chapter 420 Who stipulates that you can't rely on your own ability to fight?

Chai Lingwu has done a great job!

In a short period of time, the news spread from the palace and spread all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an City!

This is a rare victory, and it is also the most exciting battle since the expedition to Turks.

Once upon a time, although Chai Lingwu's reputation was not bad, it would always be advertised with the word "dandy".

But now, he has become a "big hero" admired by the common people in Chang'an City!

During the three conquests of Goguryeo in the former Sui Dynasty, more than 10,000 people died. In the hearts of ordinary people, this is an eternal scar.

Among the common people in Guanzhong, who doesn't have many people who go to military service?

Maybe, the people who died in battle in the former Sui Dynasty had relatives of their own.

Chai Lingwu gave them a bad breath.

Even though the officials in the DPRK and China knew that Liu Bai was probably responsible for Chai Lingwu's capture of Jian'an City, they all selectively ignored it.

Chai Lingwu's forehead has already been deeply imprinted with the brand of the Liu family.

In the eyes of the court, Chai Lingwu has long been part of the Liu family.

Who stipulates that you can't rely on your own ability to fight?

If others can't do it, you can only blame the people around you for not being able to do it.

As far as the imperial court's principles and policies are concerned, not only will Chai Lingwu not be blamed, but this kind of behavior should be greatly encouraged!

After all, there are too few people who can support the war between the kingdoms and the dynasty with hundreds of thousands of coins out of their own pockets.

Correspondingly, even many old ministers who were displeased with Liu Bai have changed a little.

After receiving the good news, Li Er couldn't tolerate anything else other than surprise.

He didn't even bother to blame Fang Xuanling and the others anymore, and issued two imperial decrees in succession!

One is to send five hundred palace guards to meet Liu Bai and others via the official road.

As for the second way, it was given to Zhongshu.

Ling Zhongshu and the Ministry of Officials, consider the issue of rewarding Chai Lingwu with the title!

This victory is really exciting.

No matter from the point of view of merit or from the point of view of improving the morale of the army, a marquis cannot escape no matter what!

"Great! Great!"

Until late at night, Li Er's mood had not calmed down.

He wandered around in Zichen Hall, refusing to sit down.

Empress Changsun handed over the pheasant slave to the old mother in the palace to take care of her, cooked a bowl of porridge with white fungus and lotus seeds, and served it to Li Er.

Li Er held a small bowl and drank it cleanly in one gulp, grinning until it was hot.

Empress Changsun said angrily, "Even if you won the battle, you don't have to do that, do you?"

Li Er wiped the corner of his mouth, "Guanyin servant girl, you don't know what this victory means!"

There are always rumors among the people that the reason why the Tang Dynasty is so strong is because the former Sui Dynasty had a good foundation.

Some people with bad intentions completely ignored the efforts of the two emperors of the Tang Dynasty.

With this victory, those people can also shut up.

The three conquests of Goguryeo in the former Sui Dynasty, not to mention the labor and money, failed in the end.

Yang Guang, who was personally conquered by the imperial driver, fled back to Chang'an in a panic.

Let's look at our old Li's family, who casually sent a second generation ancestor to beat the Goguryeo people to death, and even captured the famous general Gao Huizhen alive!

5000 people rushed into the city, but not a single one died!

How does the former Sui compare?

Li Er rubbed his hands, "You can't block the mouth of the world, you can only guide it properly. This time, Ling Wu gave me a bad breath!"

Empress Changsun said helplessly: "Then you should also rest, it's been a whole day, and your eyes hurt from walking around like this."

Li Er was still immersed in surprise.

However, he didn't say anything.

This victory blocked not only the mouths of the people of the world.

Similarly, there are also the mouths of the second sons of those rich families!

Especially Li Tai!

Chai Lingwu is the second son of the Chai family. He did not choose to compete with Chai Zhewei for the position. Instead, he won everyone's respect for himself through making contributions.

In the same way, he also won the title of knighthood by relying on his actual military exploits!

This is a good example.

Li Tai wants to fight for the crown prince?

Then you have to be like Chai Lingwu, get a great achievement first!

Chai Lingwu won the first battle of the Goguryeo expedition, at least one marquis.

If you, Li Tai, want to fight for the crown prince, at least you have to destroy a few hostile powers first, right?

The same situation applies to the second sons of other big clans.

In other words, this victory also solved a big problem for Li Er from the side!

At least, those second sons are embarrassed to make troubles until they get enough credit!

The news of the capture of Jian'an City forced the three provinces, the Ministry of Officials, and even the Ministry of Rites to work overtime overnight.

The main thing is to discuss how to reward Chai Lingwu.

The rank of knighthood is well established.

Chai Lingwu was too wronged to be named an earl for the first battle.

As for being duke, it seems that Datang's title is a bit cheap.

After all, the fathers-in-law in the court are all old men who have fought with Li Er all their lives.

The Marquis is just right!

The only thing that needs to be discussed is the title.

To be honored by military exploits, one must be a real powerful marquis with food.

Guanzhong is basically impossible. The place has long been occupied by people, and it is impossible to squeeze out [-] households.

The seal is far away, and I am afraid that His Majesty will be unhappy.

Fang Xuanling and the others were almost lying on the map, searching county by county.

But after discussing for most of the night, there was still no result.

"If you can't find it in Guanzhong, then look for it in another place, closer to Guanzhong, and your majesty will not punish us."

Du Ruhui raised his head and rubbed his eyes.

In front of the bigwigs from the three provinces, the people from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites are small roles and have no right to speak.
