Li Shimin, who returned to the palace with a big victory, was in an extremely happy mood, just now at the gate of the city, the people worshiped wildly, so that all his fatigue disappeared, this big battle, it seems that his reputation for captifying his father and killing his brother to seize the throne has changed, and the people have recognized the Zhenguan era in which he lives, and the people's hearts are available, which is what every king desires.

In this battle, in fact, the Tang Dynasty also sacrificed a lot, 200,000 troops, at least half of which remained on the banks of the Weishui River, but no matter what, this victory, a hearty victory, he not only did not suffer the humiliation of the steppe Turks, but also gained the hearts of the army and the people, as well as the hearts of the ministers, but he did not forget who brought him all this.

Therefore, at this time, Li Shimin did not hold a grand celebration banquet, but immediately summoned the officials of the three provinces and six departments, as well as the main generals of the Weishui River battle, to discuss the matter of the Chu River, and he was a little impatient.

In the Taiji Palace, these summoned officials came as quickly as possible, in fact, many people had already waited at the palace gate, after all, this big victory, inspiring, they had long thought that they would be summoned to share this joy.

Except for the ministers who were transferred for external use, almost all the people in the Twenty Lingyan Pavilion had arrived.

"See Your Majesty, congratulations on Your Majesty's triumphant return, and the town of Wei in all directions. ”

"Okay, let's all be even, I summoned you this time, not to celebrate the victory of this battle, although this battle is indeed a big victory, which makes me majestic, but we also paid almost all the price, and we summoned everyone here to discuss one thing, I want to keep Mr. Chu behind. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers under the hall made a fuss one by one, whether they were witnessing it with their own eyes, or guarding Chang'an to pay attention to the battle of the Weishui River, almost everyone knew that the Chu River, after all, this battle was too fierce, and it was related to the fate of the entire Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, please forgive the minister for being bold, although this Mr. Chu is powerful, like an immortal, but he started a war privately, ignoring the safety of my Tang Dynasty, such a person is too dangerous, the minister thinks, a little reward, let him leave as well, such a powerful warrior is absolutely difficult to suppress. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji is the chief officer who sticks to Chang'an, when the war began, his heart was very hurt, and the plan that everyone had arranged in advance was to deter, sign the covenant, fight for a few years, and then set foot on the grassland, but where did he know, it didn't take long for the news of the start of the war to come, so that he almost had to spurt blood.

This time it was indeed good luck, but seeking the country and fighting could not be pinned on luck, and next time, he might fall into a place of no return, so he felt that this Mr. Chu, who suddenly appeared, was not suitable for staying.

"Lord Zhongshu, I forgive you for agreeing with this, Mr. Chu started the war, but also to prevent His Majesty from being humiliated, as a soldier, I can't accept Your Majesty's humiliation, the king humiliated the ministers to death, he can be said to have saved the lives of many of us, not to mention that he killed the 20,000 strongest Turkic horsemen with the strength of one person, laying the foundation for the victory of this battle, and the minister can guarantee that he will definitely not be the enemy of my Tang Dynasty. ”

"Yes, the minister can also guarantee his life, Mr. Chu is definitely not the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, with his strength, the battle of Weishui River can change the situation of the war, you can think about it, if he is on the Turkic side, can you still stand here today to hold a court meeting?"

"At this point, I can also guarantee that if he wants to kill me, it will definitely not be too difficult, no one in the world can stop him, so Wuji, although you are a good heart, but this will not be mentioned again in the future, I have recognized him as a brother, and Datang will soon have another prince, but unfortunately, he told me that he will only stay here for a few months before leaving. ”

Li Jing said: "Your Majesty, if you can keep Mr. Chu, even if it is a king, it is not too much, with his strong strength, he can be a hundred thousand soldiers, such a strong man like a god, as long as he stays in the Tang Dynasty, it is also a powerful deterrent to the countries of the Quartet, I think in the world, there is no city, which person can stop him." ”

"Yes, my lieutenant Chi Gong never praises people, but this Mr. Chu, I am convinced, as long as he agrees, I can give him my position as a general. ”

"I also admit that Mr. Chu is the strongest first person in the world, even if King Wei Huai is reborn, he may not be his opponent. Cheng Yanjin also spoke, with a bit of roar in his voice, if such a strong man doesn't stay, it is simply a crime.

"Okay, don't look at me like this, I'm willing to let Mr. Chu stay, but such a person has long had no desire for fame and fortune, everything in the world is like floating clouds, if you want to keep him, you have to do what he likes, now we don't know anything about him, we can't prescribe the right medicine at all, it's too difficult to keep him." Seeing that these generals looked like they were going to let him speak, Qin Qiong had no choice but to speak.

At this time, the servant took a step to the right, saluted respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks, let's be crowned king first, announce the world, no matter what, our Datang treats him with sincerity, like such a strange person, Lilu will not be tempted, only true feelings, since he said that he will stay in Chang'an for a few months, we can slowly understand him, and then come to find a way." ”

"The minister agreed, and he was crowned king first to show his sincerity. ”

P.S. ”

"Wang De. ”

"The minions are here. ”

"Decree that Mr. Chuhe will be the king of Xiaoyao, a palace, 100,000 gold, 100 palace maids, and 1,000 guards......"

This reward is too scary and a little greedy, but those who have personally experienced that battle feel that it is too normal, and with Mr. Chu's ability, no matter how big the reward is, it is not too much.

The eldest grandson Wuji wanted to speak, but was stopped by Li Shimin and shouted: "Li Duwei." ”

"The minister is here. "A tall, jade-faced young general in gold armor walked in.

"Send a hundred cavalry guards to find out the whereabouts of Mr. Chu in Chang'an City, don't worry if you find him, and report back to me. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Let's all go down, prepare for tonight's celebration, notify you to go down, lift the curfew, and celebrate the whole country for three days. ”

The officials of the three provinces and six ministries have all gone down to get busy, but Li Shimin summoned several of his most intimate people to the Taiji Inner Palace, about the identity of Chu He, it is a big doubt, he needs these people to help him consult, Chu He's power is too strong, so powerful that it is terrifying, although Li Shimin has experienced a hundred battles, he definitely does not want to meet such an enemy on the battlefield.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Xiao Yu, Li Jing, Cheng Yanjin and others, this is definitely the henchman among the henchmen.

Li Shimin told everyone what Chu He said, and everyone lost color one by one.

"Your Majesty, this myth is too fantastical to be believed. The eldest grandson Wuji frowned, and said in disbelief at all: "The Qin Dynasty has been away from our Tang Dynasty for more than six hundred years, and there is absolutely no one in the world who can live so long, he is just a liar." ”

It is indeed inconceivable that the people will be silent and that such a thing will happen.

Tailin Wang De broke in at this time, and seeing that Li Shimin's eyes were wrong, he was half frightened to death, and immediately reported urgently: "Your Majesty, Lord Si Tianjian Yuan has something urgent to see." ”

Li Shimin, who was originally disturbing Wang De, was immediately overjoyed and shouted: "Summon, I was about to look for him, but he came over in advance." ”

Wang Bei left, Li Shimin glanced at the ministers, and said: "Okay, don't be confused, in fact, I believe Mr. Chu's words a little, Yuan Tianshi has been monitoring the celestial phenomena and constellations, and he is anxious to see him at this time, believing that he has found something, or it is related to Mr. Chu." ”

A thin and short old man, dressed in a black robe, walked in hurriedly under the leadership of Wang De.

didn't care about the people in the hall, just saluted Li Shimin, who was sitting high, and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, the minister has an urgent matter to report." ”

"What's the urgency, let's hear it. ”

"This ...... Your Majesty, this matter is very important, can you let the minister report it alone? ”

"No, these are my most loyal partners, and my loyalty to Datang and me cannot be questioned. "This kind of buying people's hearts, how can Li Shimin miss it.

Yuan Tiangang had no choice but to speak, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister just looked at the celestial phenomena and found that the star image has changed greatly, it seems that a star from outside the sky has broken into the Tang Dynasty, this star image is mysterious and powerful, like a fire, illuminating the entire star field, and please make plans as soon as possible." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji asked, "Yuan Tianshi, you said that this alien intrusion will bring disaster to Datang?"

Yuan Tiangang said: "Lord Eldest Sun, the minister can't give you an answer to this matter, the alien star intrusion, the Shining Star Field, whether it is good or bad, is not known, but one thing is certain, such a Shining Star, no matter which star field it appears, will cause drastic changes. ”

Li Shimin also stood up at this time and said, "What kind of upheaval?"

Yuan Tiangang said: "If the alien star is a demon star, it will bring disaster to the country and the people, and the mountains and rivers will be broken. ”

"Can you tell?"

"Weichen's stargazing technique has not yet been judged, and more time is needed to observe. ”

"Okay, Yuan Tianshi, you've been working hard these days, pay attention to the stars, and report to me in time if there is a change. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Wechen retires. ”

As soon as Yuan Tiangang left, the entire hall immediately fell silent, and the falling needles could be heard.

This kind of thing, it is true that no one dares to speak, haven't you heard of it, once the demon star comes into the world, the country will be ruined, in front of the Tang Dynasty, who else dares to speak, even if it is the eldest grandson Wuji, he is silent at this time, and he doesn't dare to say anything more.

"Why, don't talk anymore, Mowgli, you talk about it. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji is not stupid, although he was named, he didn't dare to say, so he had to give a salute, and said a little perfunctorily: "Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, the minister does not dare to say anything, whether it is good or bad, it is all up to Your Majesty to decide." ”

Li Shimin looked up to the sky and smiled, and said: "Why, you are all afraid, what are you afraid of, do people also think that Mr. Chu is a demon star? If he is a demon star, on the bank of the Weishui River, as long as he kills me, my Tang Dynasty will really be ruined, don't you understand such a simple truth?"

"Your Majesty. ”

"Okay, don't say anything nice, look at what you are all scared of one by one, what do you think, what kind of person is Mr. Chu, he has made immortal achievements, and he didn't even ask for a reward, so he left quietly, if I don't go to him, do you think he will come to me, since his appearance will cause drastic changes in the Tang Dynasty, then change, the beginning of the Tang Dynasty does need a profound change, I am very hopeful, what kind of surprise he can bring to me. ”

"Today's matter is strictly confidential, now that Mr. Chu is already the king of the Tang Dynasty, you have to remember that you must find a way to keep him, I believe that this is an opportunity in the lobby, and I also believe that Brother Chu will not harm me." ”

This is the intuition of being an emperor, although the two don't get along much, and Chu He doesn't have the kind of respect for the emperor to him, but Li Shimin can feel that Chu He will not harm his heart, so since it is not a demon star, it must be the birth of the star of the day, this is a gift from God to the Tang Dynasty, how can Li Shimin let it go.
