Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Butler Su knocked on the door lightly, and the knocking sound was very abrupt in the night.

"Come on, is it time to go to court?" Yuchi Baoqi turned over on the bed, picked up his watch and looked at it.

"The master is already waiting for you to have breakfast in the dining room. The morning court will start in half an hour." Butler Su gave Yuchi Baoqi the clothes he would wear for the court.

"Okay, I'll do it myself. See you in the dining room." Yuchi Baoqi was still a little irritable, wondering when the morning time would be normalized.

Yuchi Baoqi came to the dining room and saw that something was wrong with his father. Why was he not in Tubo spirit after returning to Chang'an?

"Dad, why do I think you are so lethargic? Didn't you sleep all day yesterday? You haven't woken up yet?" Yuchi Baoqi put some pickles in a bowl.

"Ahem, don't ask about adult matters. I can't even stop your mouth with rice, right? Let me tell you first. You will be honest with me when you go to court today, and we, father and son, can just get through today and be done with it. "Yuchi Jingde's eyes were dull and he was chewing pickles and gaba in his mouth.

"Okay, I'll just find a pillar and pretend to be dead." Yuchi Baoqi knew what his father meant.

After dinner, the two got on the carriage and headed to the palace together. Yuchi Baoqi opened the side curtain and saw Wei Zheng, an old man.

"Stop, stop, wait until Wei Zheng leaves before we go forward. I don't want to face him." Yuchi Baoqi stopped the groom.

Outside the palace, the servants held whisks and whips to maintain order, and soon Yuchi Baoqi and Yuchi Jingde began to walk in.

When they arrived at the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin sat high on the dragon chair. Yuchi Baoqi found a pillar among the generals to lean against and began to take a nap. The eunuchs had a routine, and most of them mentioned trivial matters as small as sesame seeds.

"Yuchi Jingde and his son have made great achievements in the expedition to Tubo and Tuyuhun. Let's discuss how to reward them." Li Shimin was a little angry when no one mentioned it.

Changsun Wuji stood up and said: "Destroy Tubo and Tuyuhun, capture Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan and Tuyuhun King Fuyun alive, and bring Tubo and Tuyuhun into our territory of the Tang Dynasty. According to the law, we should reward the Duke of the country. But..."

Li Shimin frowned, what's going on with these employees, can't I understand what's going on?

"However, Yuchi Baoqi did not bring back the Tubo King Songtsan Gampo, nor did he mention his life and death plans. I suspect that Yuchi Baoqi is collaborating with the enemy and treason!" Changsun Wuji said loudly after a pause.

"What? Collaborating with the enemy? The prince is collaborating with the enemy..." There was a lot of discussion in the court, and the entire court suddenly looked like a food market in the east of the city.

"Quiet!" Wang De shouted, and instantly the court fell silent again.

"Where is Yuchi Baoqi? I told him yesterday that he must come to court this morning. Where is he?" Li Shimin glanced around and found no trace of Yuchi Baoqi.

"Here, here! I'm here!" Yuchi Baoqi stood up from the pillar when Li Er called him, still holding half a vegetable cake in his hand.

"Tell me, Changsun Wuji suspects you of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. Do you have anything to say?" Li Shimin's tone was flat, without any inclination.

"There is collaboration with the enemy, but there is no such thing as treason." Yuchi Baoqi thought for a moment and came to a conclusion.

"Wow!" The whole court exploded again.

"Next time we go to war, let Changsun Toad lead 500 people to fight. I'll see if he can win without collaborating with the enemy." After Yuchi Baoqi finished speaking, he took a bite of the vegetable pancake and chewed it expressionlessly.

"Oh? Please tell me carefully." There was a hint of joy in Li Shimin's voice this time.

"Instigating the opponent is considered a form of collaborating with the enemy, right? How can I win if I don't do this? If 500 people fight against a hundred thousand, is it possible that the mighty army of Heaven is called the mighty army of heaven, are all gods descending to earth?" Yuchi Baoqi looked indifferent.

Yuchi Jingde left the mission at this time and handed over his hands and said: "This time my father and son went to fight against Tubo and Tuyuhun, it is true that they collaborated with the enemy, but they are absolutely not traitors! The merits and demerits should be balanced, so how about no rewards and no punishments?"

At this time, an official came out of duty and said: "Your Majesty, if those who collaborate with the enemy are not punished, I am afraid that more generals will collaborate with the enemy in the future."

When Li Shimin heard that Yuchi Jingde said he didn't want a reward, he was already angry. Who is this black-faced person being polite to? But when he heard what the officials in the hall said, he laughed angrily.

"Oh? Tell me how to punish him? To deprive him of the title of Duke and demote him to a commoner, or to be beheaded at Caishikou? Or to be exiled to Lingnan?" When Li Shimin said the next part, his anger could no longer be suppressed.

Just as the man was about to speak, Yuchi Baoqi's half of the vegetable pancake flew out and hit the man directly in the back of the head.

"My father and I don't want our achievements to be too high without rewards or titles. We just want no rewards and no punishment. Where did you come from?"

"I am Luo Yi, the Third Secretary of Kaifu Yitong, and I am the third Duke. Your Majesty! This guy is uttering obscene words in the court hall, and I won't accept it!"

After Yuchi Baoqi heard the big flying kick, he kicked him over and fell down.

"Listen up, I am going to conquer Tubo and Tuyuhun this time, and capture Tuyuhun King Fuyun and Tubo Prime Minister Ludongzan alive. As for the Songtsen Gampo you want, he is now the commander of our new Tubo Western Region Construction Corps in the Tang Dynasty. There is one more point I want to emphasize. , both Tubo and Tuyuhun were wiped out, do you understand the wipeout? All living forces were killed and captured, do you understand? There will be no Tubo people or Tuyuhun people anymore, they will all be from the Tang Dynasty."

Yuchi Baoqi saw Luo Yi trying to get up, so he went up to make up for it.

"This is just military merit. I opened a salt farm in Rongzhou, a sugar factory in Songzhou City, and a large number of mines and farms in Tubo. In the future, a large amount of materials will be continuously transported to our Tang Dynasty! Songzhou, Suo In the three cities of Yang and Luoye, everyone in the city has a study and a job. This is the people's livelihood. My father and I grasp the military achievements and the people's livelihood with both hands. It is your turn to come here and bark at me. ? Your Majesty! I don’t want the reward anymore. I will take responsibility for whoever I love. I have one request: kill Kaifu Yi and Sansi Luo Yi, who have two masters!"

Changsun Wuji snorted coldly: "There is no evidence. You just want to say that you have whatever achievements you have? I agree with military achievements, but I am afraid that there is a lot of merit in people's livelihood, right?"

"There is a road to heaven, but if you don't take it, there is no door to hell. You just barge in on your own! Bring me the supplies!" After saying this, Yuchi Baoqi looked at Changsun Wuji coldly.

As boxes of supplies were carried into the Tai Chi Hall, all the ministers looked at the boxes of supplies and started talking.

"The white paper on the oil paper package is salt, and the red paper is sugar. The barrels are the fierce fire oil unique to the Western Regions. It is not very useful yet before it is processed. There are also some boxes containing various ores produced in Tubo, Gems, these are just the tip of the iceberg, most of them are piled in warehouses outside the city. You can check them out at will, and you can take them home and use them. Just treat them as gifts I brought you when I came back from Tubo." Yuchi Baoqi crossed his arms and looked at Looking at these ministers who have never seen the world.
