Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 672

In the early morning, there was still the sound of pattering rain hitting the roof tiles outside. Li Shan opened his arms and asked Mrs. Zhou and two maids to put on the prince's clothes for him. He listened intently to the sound like the sound of heaven.

According to Zhou and Xiaoman, these two charming maids were sent to serve by the Cui family, and it is not known whether it was Zhang's or Cui Shiniang's.

In ancient times, there was such a rule that the mother-in-law sent her maid to test the quality of her future son-in-law... Uh, but Li Shan already has beautiful concubines and maidservants.

Or to fight for favor with your daughter?
Li Shan didn't think about it, he just remembered that when the two maids helped him back to the house last night, Cui Xin didn't seem very good-looking.

Turning his gaze, Li Shan sighed softly: "It's a great fortune to be able to return to the Great Wall, so why cry?"

Xiaoman with red and swollen eyes stood on tiptoe, touched the arrow mark on Li Shan's face, couldn't help sobbing a few more times, arrived in Dai County the day before yesterday, and from the moment she saw Li Shan, she became a tearful beauty .

Zhou turned to the front, carefully put on his belt, with tears still in the corners of his eyes, looking like pear blossoms with rain.

"Don't cry." Li Shan reached out and wiped the corners of Zhou's eyes, and said with a wry smile, "It's a good thing your second brother hasn't left the border, otherwise..."

Mrs. Zhou wrinkled her straight nose, and said in a low voice, "Next time Mr. Lang brings you to my slave's house..."

"Next time?" Li Shan smiled miserably. Perhaps he would not hesitate to do something similar to the Xuanwumen Incident, and even his personal guards would take the risk, but he was really unwilling to bear such a tragic battle like this one.

What's more, Tuyuhun's side is temporarily stable. Murong Shun, who has stayed in the Central Plains for a long time, has defeated his father Fu Yun's successor prince and ascended to the throne. To show his sincerity, Murong Shun came to Chang'an to meet Tang Emperor, even if there is another war, it will probably be a long time later.

Xue Yantuo has not established the country yet, and Liang Shi is just living on. In the future, the war should still be against the Eastern Turkic Han Kingdom. Li Shan has not yet decided... If he can behead Jieli Khan, it would be a pleasure, but in this world war Can it still be as smooth as in the original time and space?

Considering that although the Eastern Turks have not lost their vitality, this big defeat is likely to intensify the civil strife, and it is not known whether the sending troops outside the Great Wall in this life will be during the Wude period or the Zhenguan period.

But if the dispute over the heir apparent is not resolved, even though Li Yuan has some confidence, he will not dare to send troops rashly.

Li Shan sighed deeply, at this time Zhang Wenguan yelled from outside, "Brother Huai, brother Huai!"

Signaling Zhou and Xiaoman to enter the inner room, Li Shan sat on the stool supported by the maid, smiled and looked out the door, Zhang Wenguan and Li Zhaode came in first.

Zhang Wenguan looked at Li Shan, who was dressed in the clothes of the county king, and said, "Brother Huai is so handsome!"

Fang Yizhi and Li Kai who followed behind smiled but did not speak.

Li Kai observed carefully, today Cui Xin is about to read out the reward edict, but Li Shan seems to have a smile on his face, but there is no smile in his eyes, while Fang Yizhi is thinking about Li Shan's incomplete poem last night, " One will succeed and ten thousand bones will dry up."

After chatting for a while, Li Zhaode leaned closer and whispered, "Is it right here?"

"En." Li Shan responded casually, seeing Li Zhaode's uneasy face, sneered and said: "There is no reward, but there is no reward for my brother!"

Although I don't know the specific content of the reward, but Li Yuan sent Li Shan's future father-in-law Cui Xin as an envoy, that is to conclude the conclusion...Three defeats of the Turks, capture of the Khan flag, and chasing Jieli far away, such military exploits, even if it is It is impossible for Li Yuan to turn a blind eye.

Therefore, other people may get rewards, but Li Jing absolutely does not, or when Li Shan returns to the court, Li Yuan will find a reason...but not this time.

As the governor of the acting state who ruled the four continents, all the officials were rewarded, but Li Jing got nothing, so it was a bit embarrassing...and generally speaking, the rewards after the war do not necessarily have to wait until returning to the court, but they must be in a formal place.

But this time Cui Xin did not choose to act as the governor of the prefecture, but was going to read the imperial edict in Xiashi... That's why Li Zhaode tried to say something, but Li Shan blocked it back with sufficient reasons.

He, Li Jing, got nothing. Could it be that I, the leader who personally led the army, didn't get nothing?

Li Zhaode shut his mouth in resentment. Although he had only arrived in Dai County for two days, the historical minister during the reign of Emperor Gaozong quickly figured out everything.

Li Kai glanced at his cousin, he knew in his heart that the relationship between Li Shan and the third uncle could no longer be eased, but he hoped to continue the friendly relationship with his family and fifth uncle Li Qianyou's family.

Some time ago, Li Kai huddled in the county office and never showed up. In fact, he got a hint from Li Shan... He was thinking, if Li Shan really wanted to do something, then there should be a long talk today.

There was a pass from the personal guards outside, Li Shan held the table and tried it, and said with a wry smile: "I also ask Brother Demou and Zhaode to help me a little bit."

The hall was crowded with people. Li Jing, the chief executive of Daizhou who arrived at the latest, had no expression on his face. He was neither angry nor frustrated. He didn't change his expression until he saw two nephews helping Li Shan into the hall... ...He naturally understands, this is the hint given by the other party.

There was a lot of noise in the hall. The leaders of the entire Daizhou were basically here. Everyone knew the significance of this big break against the Turkic Khanate. This was the first time this dynasty defeated the Turkic Khanate. In Hedong and Guannei, there must be generous rewards in the court, and the excited hands of several generals who have not yet held titles are trembling.

Li Shan moved forward slowly with the support of his two friends. Wherever he passed, the noise turned into silence, and the scattered queues became orderly. Cui Xin, who was at the front, couldn't help but feel quite emotional when he saw this scene.

"Cui Sheren, please read the imperial edict."

Cui Xin nodded, holding the imperial edict in his hand, turned to the prostrating generals, and recited aloud.

The clear voice recalled in the hall, after the initial narration, Cui Xin began to read out the rewards of each general in a cadenced manner, Fang Yizhi and Li Zhaode who were waiting outside the hall could not help but change their expressions again and again.

The significance of defeating the Turks three times cannot be compared with the battle where King Qin swept the Central Plains in the fourth year of Wude and captured two kings in one battle. But if most of the generals present had already established political positions, then these people would be regarded as the direct descendants of King Handan by the court. .

Because the richness of the rewards this time is beyond the imagination of many people, following the King of Handan to make such great achievements and receive such rewards, whether they want to or not, their backgrounds will be more or less related to the King of Handan.

After all, Fang Yizhi was a few years older, and he was thinking in his mind that after the Luoyang Hulao War, although there were two wars in Shandong, the pacification of the Jianghuai River, and the Western Expedition of Tuyuhun, in terms of the strength of the knighthood, it was far from comparable to this time .

When the edict was read out, Li Shan's expression was quite strange, thinking that Li Yuan was too generous, it could be called a big show of titles, almost everyone has a share!

It may be because Li Shan gave up acting as the head of the state and returned to the Qing Dynasty in the name of self-cultivation due to serious injuries. Even Wang Junhao, the commander of the personal guards around him, was able to be knighted, the male of Leshou County.
