Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3050
The army moved forward slowly, Xue Wanche rode beside the carriage, beside Changsun Wuji, Yu Chigong and others, while Li Ji led Zhou Daowu, Cheng Mingzhen, Zhang Liang and others to the rear.Ashina Simo rode forward and rode forward with Xue Wanche, enviously said: "General Xue is the pioneer of the army, attacking the city and looting land, killing the enemy is useless, a man should be like this, I am envious!"

Xue Wanche is a rough man, and he doesn't have much contact with the ministers of the court, but he is quite close to Ashina Simo, and said with a smile: "The king of the county has praised it, and it is also a matter of loyalty to the king. The last general will charge forward, and the king of the county will guard What is the difference between high and low on your majesty's side?"

Ashina Simo's current official position is the Great General of Youwuhou. After the defeat of Dingxiang, he entered the court and served as the Suwei. Treat him very politely.

Although he is a rough person, he is not ignorant of world affairs. He often takes his heart and soul out of the people he sees in his eyes...

Ashina Simo looked left and right, moved his chin forward slightly, and said softly: "Wang Wendu was shown to the public by His Majesty, as an example to others. I am afraid that Duke Zhao will accuse you of this account."

Xue Wanche raised his eyes and saw Changsun Wuji riding a horse closely following the emperor's chariot. At this moment, he just turned his head to look at the two of them with a gloomy face. It must be that Cheng Yaojin was invited by His Majesty to ride with him. Cheng, very upset in my heart, turned around and turned around.

Xue Wanche said with a smile: "I am the same as the county king. I am a rough and brave man. I am not good at and don't care about those intrigues in the court. Your Majesty is generous. He is a wise king who has survived through the ages. Do you have suspicions about slanderous words? As long as Your Majesty is not suspicious, I don't care about others."

Ashina Simo laughed when he heard this, and said nothing more.

Xue Wanche said that the two of them are the same, not only because of their rude and straightforward temperament, but also because they are both generals.When Li Jing led his troops to attack Dingxiang by surprise and defeated the Turkic Khanate, Jieli Khan was defeated and captured together with him. He surrendered to the Tang army and received preferential treatment from His Majesty Li Er.

And Xue Wanche is the confidant of the Yin Prince Li Jiancheng. He participated in the battle between Li Jiancheng and His Majesty Li Er for the reserve position.Later, Li Jiancheng was shot and killed by His Majesty Li Er in the Xuanwu Gate. Xue Wanche once declared that he would enter the Qin Palace. Later, he was defeated and escaped from Chang'an and fled to Zhongnan Mountain. He was subdued by Li Er Majesty. Getting married is very important.

Both of them seemed to be trusted by His Majesty Li Er, but in fact they were sympathetic to each other, so he changed his usual habit of never talking about courtiers and gave Xue Wanche a word of advice.

I have done my best, as for whether Xue Wanche takes it seriously, just let nature take its course.

Furthermore, with Xue Wanche now standing behind the crown prince and Fang Jun, considering the situation in which his eldest grandson Wuji is under the suspicion and suppression of His Majesty, it may not be easy to embarrass Xue Wanche...

The two were chatting in a low voice, Xue Wanche said in a low voice: "You might as well come to my camp tonight, the king of the county. After sweeping the city of Anshi recently, I happened to meet an official from Goguryeo and his family went south to escape the flames of war. There are two daughters in the family. They are very beautiful. They are all ladies of great families, and they are incomparable to the Silla maidservants in the Chang'an market, and they are indeed gifts, and they will be given to the county king at the end to share the joy."

The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, and it was common for men to give concubines to concubines, even such dirty things as sharing a room with a woman were not surprising.

Ashina Simo was taken aback, and reminded: "How can a woman be hidden in the army? If the Sima in the army finds out and reports it to the Ministry of War and the Weiwei Temple, it will be a serious crime! No matter how trustworthy your majesty is, you are more important than you." , How can you allow you to desecrate military discipline? Listen to me, solve this matter quickly, and don’t leave any hidden dangers.”

The horseshoes were rattling, surrounded by his own and Ashina Simo's own soldiers, Changsun Wuji couldn't hear him in the distance ahead, Xue Wanche said disapprovingly: "What is there to be afraid of? This place is in the army, even if His Majesty knows , It’s just turning a blind eye and closing an eye, and it’s definitely not true. As for returning to Chang’an... Could it be that the county king thinks that if we make military exploits, we can be promoted to the ranks? Only after fighting in battle can you feel comfortable, and the horse leather shroud is also waiting for you. How can you enjoy yourself in a timely manner instead of being cautious about catering to left and right? People like us, don't covet military achievements.

Ashina Simo rode on the horse, and looked at the licensed man in surprise, thinking that what he said seemed very reasonable...

As a surrendered general, he was not only incomparable with those old brothers who followed the emperor to conquer the world, even officials who were promoted from the bottom were easier to gain the emperor's trust than them.

There is no need for others to remind the emperor to beware of surrendering and rebelling, even the surrendering generals themselves, how can they really take the emperor's words of favor seriously?

The Han people have a saying, "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different." This saying applies not only to him, a Turkic who is attached to the Tang Dynasty, but also to Xue Wanche, a "second minister" who changed his family.

Since you know that the emperor cannot trust you unreservedly, and dare not entrust you with the power of the country, why do you want to make great achievements?
Wouldn't it be a dilemma for the emperor to be unsealable?
A general must have the consciousness of a general...

Ashina Simo stroked his beard, pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "If that's the case, then I won't bother you."

Xue Wanche laughed, and said: "The general has always admired the demeanor of the county king, and has long wanted to have a drink and chat with the county king Haosheng. In the past, when he was in Chang'an, he didn't have the opportunity, but he didn't want to be here in Liaodong , it’s really a blessing to be able to drink and have fun!”

Ashina Simo feels that he has finally broken through the way of being an official who is a general who will be sent to others: "Fighting is fierce, death is fearless, and pleasure is also fierce, without any scruples, and having fun in time! It's a pity that I am over five years old." Xun, I have been in the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years, but today I can get a glimpse of the way of being an official, ashamed, ashamed!"

He used to be a Turkic aristocrat. After entering the Tang Dynasty, he was first conferred the title of General Youwuhou, and then sent back to Dingxiang by His Majesty Li Er to rule the old Turkic tribe and canonized as Turkic Khan.During that period of time, it seemed that he was in control, Wanli Grassland was free to gallop, but he was always terrified.

What if the tribe under his command rebelled again?
What if someone in the DPRK slanders him for supporting soldiers and self-respect?
What if the emperor suspects that he is up to no good?
……

For His Majesty Li Er, he is in awe from the bottom of his heart, which can hardly be added.With His Majesty Li Er's strategizing, coupled with the strength of the Tang Dynasty, it would be effortless to pinch him to death.

So when he was in Dingxiang, he felt uneasy.

Fortunately, Xue Yantuo coveted Dingxiang's terrain and invaded brazenly. Ashina Simo led the crowd to resist, but was defeated thousands of miles away.

Others saw that he fled all the way into the Great Wall like a bereaved dog in panic, and immediately wrote a letter to His Majesty Li Er to plead guilty, begging to return to Chang'an even if he was only a school captain in the palace of the guard, without the style of a Turkic Khan.In fact, Ashina Simo was so happy that he wanted to grab a few of Xue Yantuo's generals and kiss him hard.

Instead of eating wind and sand all day in Dingxiang and being frightened, how can it be as refreshing to go back to Chang'an to sleep at night and enjoy the prosperity?
So in these years, he has been cautious everywhere, and every time he marches, he is exhausted, only thinking about causing less trouble, doing more meritorious deeds, and staying by the emperor's side in a down-to-earth manner.

It's just now that I wake up, what does a surrendered general do with so many military exploits?

You are already the king of the county, is it possible that you still want the emperor to make you a prince, and give you a piece of fiefdom, so that you can crack the soil and become king, with one person under ten thousand?
After entering the Tang Dynasty, he also read the history books of the basic Han people.Since ancient times, whenever there is "no seal to seal, no reward to reward", after all, it is accompanied by disasters.

Why did His Majesty Li Er repeatedly suppress Fang Jun's official position and title?It is to prevent this situation.If Fang Jun's official position and title reached the peak at this time, and the new king ascended the throne in the future, how would he reward him?If there is no way to award a reward, then there will be no way to invite people to buy, and if you can't bestow favor on the king, there will be estrangement.

……

The eldest grandson Wuji at the front glanced at Cheng Yaojin who was reporting the battle situation to His Majesty Li Er in the carriage, and then glanced at Xue Wanche and Ashina Simo who were murmuring together in the distance behind, and frowned tightly. Frowning, he felt that he had drifted away from Datang's core system.

This is not a good sign.

Although the emperor suppressed the Guanlong nobles in order to consolidate the imperial power, the Guanlong nobles still maintained control over the court during the initial period of time.However, now, following the emperor's expedition to Goguryeo, the influence of the Guanlong nobles in the Chang'an court has entered the lowest period since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.

If the situation cannot be broken, the past glory and future power of the Guanlong nobles will all be wiped out.

The key to breaking the game is not in Liaodong or Chang'an, but in the distant Western Regions.

It's just that I don't know if Changsun Jun has completed the task he told him to do?Calculating the time, Changsun Jun should have been redeemed by Changsun Yan and returned to Chang'an long ago, and the letter from Chang'an should not be far away now...
