Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 161 The Endless Darkness

Inside the Hall of Liangyi, there was silence, a deathly silence.

Li Jiancheng didn't seem to have come to his senses, Chen Shuda and Xiao Yu got up to congratulate, these two people have always upheld their integrity and had no bias between the East Palace and Qin Palace.

Zhongshu Ling Feng Deyi is a well-known scumbag, this person has a lot of talent to figure out, and he has a coincidence, he asked with a smile: "Prince Huaiyang was defeated in Xiabo, but he was able to recover and turn defeat into victory. Congratulations, Your Majesty, the clan. Such a general among the younger generation."

This sentence touched Li Yuan's heart. He was born in Guan Long's lineage, and there were many generals in his clan. Regardless of Li Shimin, there were also a large number of clan generals. This had nothing to do with Li Shimin, it was mainly due to Li Yuan's contribution.

Li Yuan smiled and took the victory report document and read it carefully. Seeing that there were only a few lines in the document, but it was concise and clear. It clearly described Li Daoxuan's reorganization in Weizhou after his defeat. He couldn't help laughing and asked: "Who holds the pen for the victory report document?"

The messenger shook his head blankly, Li Yuan sent the person out with a smile and ordered a reward, and handed the document to Pei Ji, "Not to mention the writing style, this person's calligraphy is impressive."

Pei Ji glanced at it for a few moments but nodded silently, moved his right hand left and right for a while, thought about it, and handed it back to Li Yuan...it's impossible to give it to Li Shimin, it's a slap in the face to Li Jiancheng.

Li Shimin still kept his expressionless expression, and Pei Shiju, who was sitting on the outermost edge, looked carefully out of the corner of his eyes... He always felt that this incident seemed too coincidental.

Coincidentally, Li Shimin suddenly made a comeback under impossible circumstances, and coincidentally, the sage had already issued an edict, and the crown prince was slapped hard on the face.

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit strange, but Li Yuan had a happy face, he always treated the clan children well, except for the prince, the most favored nephews of the emperor were Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong and Li Daoxuan.

Especially Li Daoxuan, whose father died early, had been in love with Li Yuan since he was a child, and was more sensible than the most troublesome Li Yuanji. Li Yuan was naturally delighted.

After all, he is the lord of a country. Although Li Yuan has a headache about the incompatibility of his eldest son and his second son, he is also pleased with the turning point of the war in Hebei.

"Daoxuan is very humble and humble, with elegant demeanor, like a fifth uncle." Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin, "Unexpectedly, he fought with Erlang in the battlefield when he was young, but he developed a character of fearlessness. This is Erlang's fault."

The so-called five uncles refer to the six sons of Li Hu, Li Zhi, the king of Henan who was canonized after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and Li Daoxuan's father.

Accusing Li Shimin is saying that he likes to take risks on the battlefield, which makes Li Daoxuan follow suit.

Although it was a reprimand, no one could hear the tone, and finally a smile appeared on Li Shimin's face, "It is indeed the child's fault, but King Huaiyang has been taught by his father since he was a child to fight for the country..."

Li Yuan laughed loudly, nodded and said: "Erlang is very playful today, so it's my father's fault?"

Li Shimin shook his head repeatedly, and Li Yuan laughed and cursed casually, like a scene of a loving father and a filial son... Pei Ji shook his head slightly to Li Jiancheng to signal not to act rashly.

Now the situation is clear, Li Daoxuan turned defeat into victory, the sage Huairou King Qin... jumping out at this time will only be boring.

After a while, Li Yuan's eyes finally fell on the silent Prince Li Jiancheng.

No way, it's too embarrassing!

Just now the prince was ordered to go on an expedition, and he also sent five of the twelve guard generals, and also dispatched Bingzhou and Youzhou armies, and also took the right to control the Eastern Shaanxi Road from the Qin Palace...not yet out of the Hall of Liangyi Well, when the Hebei battle report came, Liu Heita had already been defeated.

Continue to let the prince go out?
This is really a bit funny. Could it be that the people from the Eastern Palace are allowed to travel to Shandong at public expense?
And it's a bit shameless... I'm afraid Da Lang still has shame.

Li Yuan knew very well that Tian Liu'an, the governor of Weizhou, and Qi Shanxing, the governor of Xingzhou, both came from the Qin Palace, and Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang, also favored Erlang.

But stop there?
That Dalang was humiliated this time, because he was ridiculed by the courtiers for delaying the dispatch of troops. Many children from the Shandong family made rude remarks, and even sang "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Battle" in the public.

Finally willing to send out troops, deploy soldiers, have no worries about food and grass, and be full of confidence... As a result, there is a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and everyone's battle is over!

After this incident, Erlang's prestige may not increase much... After all, it was already high enough, but Dalang's prestige will definitely drop.

This disappears, that is, the other grows.

He was joking with Li Shimin all the time, but Li Yuan's mind was always spinning at high speed, trying to find a way to ease the situation.

This is also the disadvantage of Li Tang's establishment of the country, using more clan children... In other dynasties, when the founding monarch encountered similar things, he would have attacked with generals long ago, so it would not have become a battlefield for princes to seize the heir.

But having said that, if Li Yuan hadn't fought successively on the battlefield with Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong, Li Shentong, Li Daozong and other clan children, it is still unknown whether the Tang Dynasty would be able to unify the world today.

"Daoxuan won this big victory, and when he returns to the capital, he must be rewarded heavily." Li Yuan said softly, "But now that the battle has not stopped, I'm afraid Liu Heita will resurface..."

The smile on the corners of Li Shimin's mouth below did not fade away, but he was cursing in his heart... Just now he was saying that the remnants of Liu Heita went north to the grasslands, and it was rare for the Turks to pay attention to it, but now he immediately changed his rhetoric.

"Boss Pei?"

"Your Majesty, the king of Huaiyang led the Shandong army as the commander of the Hebei Road march. Now Liu Heita's remnant troops are fleeing north, but most of Hebei is still occupied. The king of Qi should go north to help."

As soon as Pei Ji's words came out, Li Yuan fell silent, and Li Shimin suddenly glanced slightly sideways... Li Jiancheng's face turned red.

The current situation is that it is impossible for Li Jiancheng to lead an army to conquer Liu Heita... In fact, Li Yuan would not agree, but Li Shimin might agree.

Big brother, you want to crusade Liu Heita, okay, you don’t need to take the east road south, go south to Shandong road and then go north, it’s so troublesome, just go north to the grassland!
But what Pei Ji meant was to let the king of Qi, Li Yuanji, take the credit... After all, now that the king of Qi is attached to the East Palace, it doesn't matter how much credit he gets, the key is not to let the king of Qin's line take all the credit.

Pei Ji emphasized his tone, "Your Majesty, over the past month or so, we have lost many troops and lost ground. In the first battle of Xiabo, the entire army of [-] troops was wiped out. It is unknown whether the King of Huaiyang will have the strength to take advantage of the victory in Wei County's victory this time..."

Li Yuan nodded slightly, this is indeed a problem, the lack of troops is a fact.

Li Jiancheng's thoughts moved slightly, Li Daoxuan, Tian Liu'an, and Qi Shanxing defeated Liu Heitai, but there was no Cheng Mingzhen's name, this is a place that can be used, and there is a key person...

But before Li Jiancheng could speak, Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "I wanted Da Lang to conquer Liu Heita, but now we suspend the fighting in the cold winter."

This time, Li Yuan didn't give Li Jiancheng too much face. Of course, he didn't want to see Li Jiancheng's crown prince crumbling.

Therefore, Li Yuan added, "After two days of discussion, how to appease Shandong after the war."

Li Jiancheng with a livid face returned to the East Palace, took a sip of his tea and scalded it, and threw the teacup on the wall. He knew that his father intended the East Palace to appease Shandong, but how could he swallow this breath?

At the moment when he saw the light, the boundless darkness fell from the sky, making Li Jiancheng unable to see his fingers.
