Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 646 Chapter 664: The eldest grandson Wuji

When Fan Lihua erected a boundary marker at the border of the Tang Dynasty, there was a small court meeting in Chang'an.

Yesterday was a good day. Yesterday morning, Di Renjie returned to Chang'an with people from the Taiyuan Wang family and a lot of money. Wang Weitai went to Li Hao's bank for a loan and learned that the bank's interest system had increased the limit, which made him half dead. Even so, He still needs a loan, but he can't do without a loan, and he has no money to pay a fine.

Yesterday afternoon Li Shimin received the battle report of Fan Lihua's defeat of the Western Turkic Royal Court, which made him so happy that his mouth burst into laughter. He asked Xu Lian to read Fan Lihua's battle report, and everyone had fun together.

Fan Lihua defeated the Western Turkic Court, this is indeed exciting news, but the ministers are not happy, why, because Changsun Wuji has told them that Fan Lihua and Li Hao are in the same group, Xue Rengui and Li Hao They were in the same group, and Di Renjie and Li Hao were also in the same group. They were all deceived and used by Li Hao.

As soon as the news came out, all the officials were shocked to the point of collapse. When Chu Suiliang heard the words of Changsun Wuji, he fainted from anger on the spot. He had been lying in bed for a long time and hadn't recovered yet. See Chu Suiliang's figure.

Fan Lihua made such great military exploits, catching up with Li Jing in the past, and this battle was fought extremely beautifully, and more than 200 million gold and silver jewels were seized. People fight more and more poorly, but Datang is simply... the more they fight, the more powerful they become. money.

Li Shimin is not in a hurry to reward Fan Lihua, because Fan Lihua's battle report said that she will continue to conquer the west and open up territory for the Tang Dynasty.

Next, Li Shimin discussed with his ministers that Fanlihua expanded its territory to the west. In order to ensure the stability of the western border, it is very likely that Anxi Dufu will be moved westward, and more troops will be sent. Western Turkic is the main route of the Silk Road. It was finally in his hands, how could Li Shimin not pay attention to it, he must guard it well.

After deliberation, it was finally decided that the Western Turkic Royal Court was renamed Tingzhou, the Anxi Protectorate was temporarily moved westward to Tingzhou, and an additional [-] troops were added to the Anxi Protectorate.

After discussing this matter, we began to discuss another important matter, which was about the Nanzhao envoy being poisoned and killed in the Tang Dynasty. Although the real culprit behind the scenes was found out and punished, but for Nanzhao side, we must There is an explanation, presumably the Nanzhao envoys have sent someone back to tell Xi Nuluo.

Regarding this matter, the opinions of their monarchs and ministers are very unified. To lose money, donate a large amount of supplies, food and exquisite porcelain cloth to Nanzhao, plus gold, silver and jewelry, which is equivalent to 300 guan. In addition, send people to escort Sheng Guolan back with five thousand elite soldiers Nanzhao, after all, has so many supplies, and the Nanzhao envoys have only more than [-] guards, so there will be no problems in Guanzhong, but once they enter the Bashu area, there are strong people running rampant there, and there are many forces in the world, which is a bit dangerous.

After deciding on these, Li Shimin also summoned Sheng Guolan to meet him, and told Sheng Guolan about the compensation, expressing Datang's sincerity.

Sheng Guolan didn't care about these things, her brother was dead, could he be resurrected, and she didn't blame Datang, to be honest, she actually liked Datang quite a lot, and the Tang people she knew treated her very well. Well, for example, Di Renjie, Di Renjie's family, and that King Qiongnan were also very polite to her. When she and Di Renjie came back from Taiyuan, Li Hao went out of the city to meet them personally, and Di Renjie seemed to have a good relationship with him. From her point of view, Di Renjie is a good person, so his friends must also be good people.

Sheng Guolan accepted all the compensation proposed by Li Shimin, and bowed down to Li Shimin, thanking the emperor for his kindness. Li Shimin was very happy, and immediately said: "Sheng Guolan, to show my sincerity, I sent you the most powerful general in the Tang Dynasty to send you back to the south." Edict."

"The most powerful general in the Tang Dynasty?" Sheng Guolan looked at Di Renjie subconsciously when she heard the words. Maybe it was Xi Shi in the eyes of a lover. Sheng Guolan liked Di Renjie, so she thought Di Renjie was good at everything. He was the most powerful man in the world and the most powerful in the Tang Dynasty The general must also be Di Renjie.

However, Di Renjie turned his head to look at Li Hao, and all the ministers in the hall were looking at Li Hao. Seeing this, Sheng Guolan had to turn his head to look at Li Hao, feeling annoyed: "He is the most powerful general in the Tang Dynasty? The thin and weak , take a broken feather fan, dress like a student, that is to say, he is a little taller, no matter how powerful he is, he will definitely not be able to beat Di Renjie."

Li Hao was very embarrassed at the moment, because he didn't want to take this job, so he tried his best to look at Li Shimin, and the meaning was very clear: "I can't do it!"

"Poetry man, don't try to be lazy this time." Di Renjie cast a sideways glance at Li Hao and said, "Look at Sheng Guolan, who came to Chang'an from Nanzhao at the age of sixteen or seventeen. It’s not easy, you are a dignified man, so what if you go to Nanzhao, don’t you have the heart to see such a thin girl bring so much gold and silver treasures back to Nanzhao?”

Li Hao really wanted to yell: "I can bear it, why can't I bear it?"

However, he didn't dare to say that, otherwise he would have to be pointed and scolded by Li Shimin, so he could only bow his hands and salute, reluctantly saying: "I obey the order—" The voice dragged on for a long time, for fear that Li Shimin would not be able to see his dissatisfaction. happy.

"Hmph, what a lazy bastard." Li Shimin laughed and cursed angrily when he saw his dead face.

At this time, Sheng Guolan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, can Di Renjie send me back?"

"Bold!" Yu Zhining suddenly stared and scolded, "How dare you call yourself me in front of the emperor!"

Li Shimin waved his hands and said: "It's okay, it's okay, Yu Aiqing don't make a big deal out of it, Sheng Guolan is from Nanzhao, and she doesn't understand my Tang etiquette, how can I argue with her?"

Seeing Li Shimin's generosity, Sheng Guolan was secretly delighted, and asked again: "Your Majesty, can you let Di Renjie send... send your minister back to Nanzhao?"

She didn't know what to call herself. She saw that Li Hao called himself a minister just now, so she followed suit. She is the daughter of the King of Nanzhao, and she is considered a princess of Nanzhao. Li Shimin proclaimed himself a minister, and she proclaimed herself a minister, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with her.

"Di Renjie..." Li Shimin turned his head to look at Di Renjie, then said with a smile, "Sheng Guolan, you don't know that Di Renjie is not a general, he cannot lead troops."

Sheng Guolan blinked and asked: "Your Majesty, you are the master of the world, and your words are more effective than gods. If you make him a general, won't he be able to lead troops?"

This sentence just flattered Li Shimin, and made Li Shimin very happy. Li Shimin stretched out his hand to touch Sheng Guolan with a smile: "You, you, you are really a little girl. Tongyan Wuji."

Li Shimin thought she was talking nonsense, but Li Hao paid attention to it. He didn't want to go to Nanzhao. The place is poor and rough, and ghosts want to go there. Why don't you take this opportunity to leave this burden on Di Renjie, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Di Renjie has cracked the case. The big case has not yet been rewarded, so it is very good for the emperor to take this opportunity to give Di Renjie a general title."

"Huh?" Li Shimin turned his head to look at Li Hao, seeing his serious appearance, he almost thought that Li Hao's proposal was selfless, how could Li Hao's pettiness in his heart be hidden from him.

"Poetry maniac, don't mess around." Li Shimin straightened his face, and Li Hao could only shrink his head and retreat to the queue.

Sheng Guolan said, "Your Majesty, isn't Di Renjie's contribution enough to be named a general?"

"This..." Li Shimin was a little embarrassed when he heard the words. He was thinking about how to explain the rewards of the Tang Dynasty to this barbarian girl who knew nothing about the affairs of the Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, when Li Ji saw Li Hao winking at him, Li Ji immediately understood, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it would be fine if Di Renjie was granted a military title, after all, it is only a loose title."

Li Ji seldom speaks in the hall, but whenever he speaks, Li Shimin will listen carefully every time, and will seriously consider his words. Rare things are more expensive, and it turns out that speaking is also the same.

After Li Ji had spoken, Li Shimin thought about it seriously, and it seemed that it really didn't matter to be awarded a loose title, so he said, "In this case, let's discuss Di Renjie's reward first."

At this time, Sun Fujia suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, I am getting older and my legs and feet are getting worse. I want to retire from my old age and return to my hometown. I think that Di Renjie is a young man who is promising and has repeatedly solved strange cases. He should be a pillar of the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty." I want Di Renjie to succeed Dali Siqing."

Everyone was surprised when they heard the words. This Sun Fujia, who has not yet reached the age of 60, wants to resign and return to his hometown. If he resigns, he can resign and let Di Renjie take over the position of Dali Temple Minister. How can this work? After the rectification, the power of Dali Temple has increased not a little bit. It has the right to supervise all officials of the Tang Dynasty. No matter how big or powerful an official you are, as long as you make a mistake, Dali Temple will dare to take you. .

The most important thing is that Di Renjie is Li Hao's man. Just because of this, they can't agree. As soon as Sun Fujia's voice fell, Changsun Wuji objected loudly: "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate, but Di Renjie didn't agree." In the year of the weak crown, being the young minister of Dali Temple is already a special promotion by the emperor, how can he be held such an important position as the minister of Dali Temple, I think it would be better if Sun Siqing worked hard for a few more years."

Li Shimin was about to nod when he heard the words. At this moment, Sheng Guolan suddenly asked in a daze: "Your Majesty, is the appointment of an official in the Tang Dynasty based on his age? It's so strange, my... the father of the king appointed the official position based on whether the person is capable or not." , Great or not."

Sheng Guolan is indeed a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. She slapped Changsun Wuji hard with her simple words, and shut up all the ministers who were about to second her, because what she said was reasonable, why? reason.

Changsun Wuji blushed with anger at Sheng Guolan's words, he turned his head and glared at Sheng Guolan, and said loudly: "My Tang Dynasty's rulers and ministers discuss state affairs, what qualifications do you, a barbarian, have to speak nonsense!"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, raised his head and asked loudly: "Master Changsun, she is not qualified, so does this king have one?"

　Get out of the way!Li Hao is going to pretend!
