Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1266 Qin Tian returns to Beijing
Near nostalgia is more timid.

Qin Tian is now near Chang'an, so he is even more worried.

Although he has made great achievements twice in a row, the peace negotiation with Tubo is a bit out of order.

When he arrived in Chang'an City, he didn't know what Li Shimin would do with him.

He knows very well that even if Li Shimin wants to forgive him, the rules cannot be broken, otherwise others will learn from them in the future, and it will be difficult to control.

Therefore, for the sake of the so-called rules, Li Shimin must punish him.

It was precisely because of this punishment that Qin Tian was a little uneasy.

When we returned to Chang'an City, it was already late autumn.

At this time, in addition to the excitement in Chang'an City, autumn colors can also be seen.

Fallen leaves, autumn wind.

When Qin Tian returned with his team, there were many people standing on the street.

They didn't know what Qin Tian did, they only knew that Qin Tian had made great achievements in defeating Xue Yantuo and Tubo one after another.

They are all for fun.

In the army, there was a carload of victories, and the common people were excited when they saw it.

"Young Lord Qin is amazing. After defeating Tubo, he made Tubo compensate so much."

"Who says no, these gold, silver and jewels are higher than the annual tax of our Tang Dynasty?"

"That's not true, but we should teach Tubo a lesson like this, who dared to use troops against me, Datang?"

"Extremely, extremely, that's how it should be. Young Master Qin is really amazing."

"........."

The common people didn't know the seriousness of the matter, they kept talking excitedly, and occasionally some words reached Qin Tian's ears, Qin Tian just chuckled.

Qin Tian led the team to continue walking, came to Zhuque Street, and came to the gate of the imperial palace.

But this time, no one greeted him in front of the palace gate.

He smiled wryly, glanced at Niu Jinda, and then the two got off their horses and went straight into the palace.

In the palace hall, all the officials are waiting for them.

Everyone looked at Qin Tian with strange eyes, some were worried, while others were gloating.

Qin Tian walked step by step, the hall changed from quiet to noisy, and his footsteps gradually disappeared.

Coming to the front, Qin Tian knelt down and handed in a memorial.

"My minister Qin Tian, ​​luckily he did not disgrace his life and returned victorious."

A palace official took the memorial and handed it to Li Shimin. Li Shimin glared at Qin Tian, ​​thinking that he was lucky enough to let Songtsan Gampo go for nothing.
However, he was very curious about what was written in Qin Tian's memorial, so he opened it and took a look.

After opening it and taking a look, Li Shimin's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

A lot of money.

After taking a look at it, even an emperor like him thinks it's a lot, it's all wealth.

With so much money, Li Shimin's heart was moved, and at this moment, he finally understood what was going on. It turned out that it was all the money Tubo paid them to Datang for the peace negotiation.

This is a lot of money, I'm afraid it will cost Tubo all at once, right?

Li Shimin calmed down slowly, and after closing the memorial, he looked at Qin Tian in a slightly different way.

A little softer.

It has to be said that money is a good thing, even an emperor like Li Shimin is no exception. He knows very well that with such a sum of money, he can do many things without blinking his eyebrows.

"Qin Tian, ​​it is true that you lived up to your fate and defeated Xue Yantuo and Tubo, but do you know what mistakes you made?"

Everyone turned their attention to Qin Tian, ​​and Qin Tian responded: "Return to the Holy Majesty, I know that I shouldn't have negotiated peace with Tubo without explaining to the Holy Majesty."

"Is that all?"

As soon as Qin Tian finished speaking, Gao Shilian stood up and immediately snorted: "You brought soldiers and horses, and you have already surrounded Songtsan Gampo, why did you negotiate with him? , would it be more beneficial to me, Datang?"

After Gao Shilian said such a sentence, other people who opposed Qin Tian in the court also stood up one after another.

"That's right, have you benefited from Tubo?"

"It must be. Tubo is willing to pay so much money, so it shouldn't be a problem to buy you Qin Tian?"

"........."

The sound of crusade is endless.

Qin Tian didn't expect so many people to oppose him. Of course, among so many people, some of them have grievances with him, and some may be purely angry youths. It's a pity that Songtsan Gampo was not killed. .

At this time, Li Shimin also looked at Qin Tian, ​​and he wanted to know the reason.

Qin Tian smiled wryly, and said: "My lord, under the circumstances at that time, I couldn't kill Songtsan Gampo, and now my Tang Dynasty does not have the ability to destroy Tubo, so it is better to be with them for a while than to have nothing to do with Tubo. Let us live in peace, and when we have accumulated strength in the Tang Dynasty, we will destroy Tubo in one fell swoop, and Songtsan Gampo is the key to our peace with Tubo..."

Qin Tian explained the situation again, and what he said was still very reasonable. After listening to it, Li Shimin finally understood what was going on.

If it was him, he would also choose to make peace with Tubo instead of taking the risk of killing Songtsan Gampo. After all, if Tubo and their Tang Dynasty persisted, they might not have much time to develop.

There are not many enemies in Tubo, but there are many in Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, before destroying the strength of an enemy in one fell swoop, it is best not to fight this enemy frequently.

Li Shimin agreed with Qin Tian's explanation, but it is unforgivable for Qin Tian to reconcile and not tell the court.

When Gao Shilian and the others saw this situation, they immediately focused their problems on this, and instead of giving Li Shimin face, they wanted to see what Li Shimin would do.

Li Shimin's eyes were fixed. He knew that everyone was waiting for him to punish Qin Tian, ​​and if he didn't punish Qin Tian, ​​the rules would be broken.

The reason why an imperial court can proceed in an orderly manner is because there are rules to restrain it. If there are no rules, wouldn't it be chaos?
Rules cannot be broken.

After a long time, Li Shimin finally opened his mouth and said: "Qin Tianyi's reconciliation matter is indeed a bit self-determined, but because of his merits, the merits and demerits will be offset. However, I want to remove him from his position in the Minister of Ministers. , demote him to be the governor of Jinling City."

After this punishment came out, many people were not very happy. For example, Cheng Yaojin and others have already paid off their merits and demerits, so why should they transfer Qin Tian away from the capital?
If Qin Tian left the capital, they would be much less interesting.

But at the same time, there are also some people who finally got what they wanted, such as Gao Shilian.

You know, the official position of the governor is not considered low, but after all, he is an expatriate official. Compared with Qin Tian's official position in Shangshu Province, he has already been demoted very badly.

After Qin Tian heard this, he was taken aback for a moment.

"What is Jinling City?"
