Li Yuan didn't want to, but the generals looked at him expectantly, the military advisors worked hard and made great achievements, if they were indifferent, it would chill the hearts of the soldiers.

However, with the increase of Yuan Ziyan's prestige in the army, it has also invisibly boosted Li Shimin's limelight, and now he has been named an even more ancient Tiance general, if Yuan Ziyan has another reward, wouldn't it make Li Shimin like a tiger?

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Yuan asked with a very inauthentic smile: "Ziyan, there are no women in my court, I don't know what reward you want?" ”

Li Yuan's words immediately attracted the disdain of everyone, first he couldn't give the official, and then asked what people wanted. Just imagine if a president asks you what you want, who is embarrassed to say gold and silver!

Yuan Ziyan had already been mentally prepared for this, and stepped forward and said seriously: "Your Majesty, in front of this battle are the prince's generals, and in the rear are fearless soldiers, Ziyan has no merit. ”

"Hehe, Ziyan is outwitted, I have heard of it. It doesn't hurt to say it directly, I just say yes! Li Yuan smiled even more happily, and was very satisfied with Yuan Ziyan's statement.

"Purple smoke and courage, beg Your Majesty to spare a person!" Yuan Ziyan said loudly.

"Ziyan, don't talk nonsense!" Li Shimin reminded in a low voice.

"Oh? I don't know who can bother the military advisor to intercede in person? Li Yuan asked puzzled.

"Shan Xiongxin, a person from Caozhou!"

After Yuan Ziyan finished speaking, Xu Maogong, who was not far away, suddenly raised his head, tears splashed in his eyes, Ziyan was affectionate and righteous, she really didn't misunderstand her.

Li Yuan frowned slightly, Shan Xiongxin was Wang Shichong's general who defended the city, brutalized countless Tang Dynasty soldiers, and once threatened Li Shimin's life. Unforgivable.

"Ziyan, Shan Xiongxin has committed several serious crimes, but I am afraid that the responsibility for the crime will not escape." Li Yuan said in a gentle tone.

"Your Majesty, in the past, Li Mi was defeated and the heroes were scattered, and it was not at fault for Shan Xiongxin to return to Wang Shichong......"

"But on the way to peace, he had a temporary idea to put me to death!" didn't wait for Yuan Ziyan to finish speaking. Li Shimin stepped forward and interjected coldly.

Li Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Not only did Li Shimin stand with him, but what made Li Yuan even happier was that his son did not lose his reason and judgment for the sake of a woman. It's gratifying.

"Shimin, the situation at that time was special ......"

"No matter what, Shan Xiongxin will die!" Li Shimin said annoyedly.

Yuan Ziyan was stunned for a moment, and felt a chill in his heart. The emperor's generosity on the surface is actually selective. Li Shimin is no exception.

Although Li Shimin has countless heroes and heroes under his account, he will never be merciful to the original enemy.

"Hmph, if you think so. What's the point of me staying here! Yuan Ziyan said with a snort.

"If you don't care about someone's life!" Li Shimin gritted his teeth and whispered.

You?! Yuan Ziyan's face was flushed, and Li Shimin was of course referring to Li Mi, "Li Shimin." Why do you keep forcing me to stay? ”

"You don't need a reason for this!"

In the end, it was above the court, and the two did not open their throats and quarrel loudly. But the angry eyes are opposite, and the muttering of you and me makes the ministers feel very uncomfortable.

At this moment, Xu Maogong came out and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister and Shan Xiongxin are brothers in life and death, and the minister is willing to vouch for him, and ask Your Majesty to be merciful and spare his life!" ”

Xu Maogong's weight is not low, and he is also Yuan Ziyan's ex-husband, the relationship is very sensitive, Li Shimin robbed someone's daughter-in-law, and if he didn't even agree to this request, he might really anger Xu Maogong.

Li Yuan thought for a while, and was about to reluctantly agree, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to take a step forward, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Father, Shan Xiongxin has a lot of blood debts, and the cause of evil accumulates evil, if it is forgiven, how to comfort the souls of the dead soldiers." The son asked his father to execute Shan Xiongxin immediately! ”

"Please Your Majesty immediately execute Shan Xiongxin!" The warriors fell to their knees in an uproar, all of them filled with righteous indignation, just like their father was also killed by Shan Xiongxin.

No one's weight is as heavy as Li Shimin, Li Yuan nodded, finally slapped the board, and said: "According to what everyone said, Shan Xiongxin will be beheaded at three o'clock in the afternoon to show the public." ”

"Your Majesty, please forgive Shan Xiongxin's family, and the minister is willing to die for it!" Xu Maogong cried loudly.

"Just Yimao Gong." Li Yuan finally gave in a small step.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xu Maogong fell to the ground and wept bitterly.

Long live the ministers of the mountain, Your Majesty Shengming, Li Yuan said again: "Reward the military master with two pairs of jade Ruyi, ten horses of fine silk, and a thousand taels of silver, you can walk freely in the palace, one should be equal to the etiquette of the three grades, and the other will be given a token to avoid death!" ”

Yuan Ziyan was in a fugue, and he didn't hear about these rewards, except that he didn't have a specific official position, Li Yuan gave him a lot this time, which was equivalent to enjoying the treatment of a third-grade master.

In addition, Dou Jiande and others were beheaded at the entrance of Chang'an Street, because Li Shimin did not kill Wang Shichong, Li Yuan temporarily imprisoned Wang Shichong in Yongzhou, not far from Chang'an, and his family was exiled.

It stands to reason that Wang Shichong could survive in loneliness, but his sons tried to rebel during exile and were later beheaded. Wang Shichong was heartbroken but helpless, whether his sons rebelled or not, who knows the truth!

Soon after, Wang Shichong was assassinated by several masked men, and later found out that the murderer was the Dingzhou assassin of the Tang Dynasty, Dugu Xiude, his father Dugu Ji was Wang Shichong's subordinate, and later wanted to descend to the Tang Dynasty, after the matter was leaked, he was brutally killed by Wang Shichong, and Dugu Xiude escaped the catastrophe by hiding in the drowning bucket.

Communiqué personal vendetta, it stands to reason that this crime is not small, but Dugu Xiude was not blamed by the imperial court, but on the contrary, he rose to prominence and died a righteous death. It can be seen that it is really difficult to say who was responsible for Wang Shichong's death.

In any case, Wang Shichong has only been in the past three years from usurpation to death, and has experienced being prominent in front of people to death row prisoners, whether he has more regrets or more satisfaction in this life, has become blurred with the loneliness of Wang Shichong's life stage.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Yuan Ziyan was still standing in place, Xu Maogong stepped forward and said distressedly: "Ziyan, you have done your best, I thank you for Shan Xiongxin." ”

Yuan Ziyan didn't speak, but walked a few steps quickly to Li Shimin, and snorted: "Shimin, if it wasn't for you just now, Shan Xiongxin wouldn't have died!" There was something wrong with Shan Xiongxin at the beginning, but after all, you are unharmed now! ”

"If Shan Xiongxin burned me to death with a fire, would you still intercede for him?" Li Shimin asked coldly, then glanced at Xu Maogong very unhappily, shook his sleeves and left angrily.

Yuan Ziyan stood on the spot, feeling frustrated like never before. Traveling through ancient times, talking and laughing, and pointing out the country, it is all obscenity, and no one has done this step at all. Ancient heroes and witty people, how could a weak woman like Yuan Ziyan be able to influence him?

A few tears slid down Yuan Ziyan's face, Xu Maogong helped her up in distress, and said softly: "Ziyan, as long as you want, you can still return to the mansion, you are still the hostess." ”

At that moment, Yuan Ziyan was really moved, if you want to say that it is heartwarming, you have to count Xu Maogong.

But for Yuan Ziyan, none of them is her final destination, but her hometown in the future, as well as her parents and grandfather who are always thinking about her.

What's more, if Yuan Ziyan leaves the palace, Li Mi may be hunted down, since it is the same everywhere, why bother with innocents.

"Mao Gong, let's not talk about this first, let's go see Shan Xiongxin and see if he has anything else to explain." Yuan Ziyan wiped away her tears, got up slowly, and walked out with heavy steps.

"Ziyan, you are a woman, you should be cared for by a man, and you live a stable life at home, why do you have to be involved in this chaos?" On the way, Xu Maogong asked with a sigh.

"I didn't want to get involved in anything, but now I can't get out. Mao Gong, maybe one day you will understand, my loneliness and helplessness no one can understand. Yuan Ziyan sighed.

"Ziyan, I understand, you can tell me!" Xu Maogong emotionally grabbed Yuan Ziyan's hand.

And this scene was looked back at by Li Shimin, who was not far away, and the roots of his teeth itched with hatred. Li Yuanji was about to rush to the East Palace, and when he saw it, he couldn't help grinning, and before he could come up with the idea of punishing them, they started infighting first.

When he arrived in the cell, Shan Xiongxin wore a cloak and did not move the food in front of him, looking very depressed. In the face of death, Yuan Ziyan doesn't think that this is cowardly and afraid, if he can live, who wants to die?

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Shan Xiongxin suddenly raised his head and asked in surprise: "Mao Gong, Ziyan, are you here?" Are you going to let me out? ”

Yuan Ziyan and Xu Maogong glanced at each other, sighed slightly, the look in Shan Xiongxin's eyes faded in an instant, hugged his head in annoyance, and said with tears: "I can't imagine that today is my end, the sky is unfair!" ”

"Xiongxin, people will die eventually, don't go so hurriedly on the Huangquan Road, wait for me." Xu Maogong couldn't help but cry, poured the wine into the cup, and choked up: "You and my brother, drink this cup to the fullest!" ”

Shan Xiongxin nodded, raised it and drank it all, then threw the wine glass in one place, picked up the wine jar and poured it, drank half of the jar in one go, tears flowed more, and sighed: "It's not that I was stubborn in the past, but I was really unconvinced by Li Mi." Zhai Rang's eldest brother treated me well, but Li Mi killed him regardless of his kindness, and I couldn't open this knot. ”

Yuan Ziyan was helpless, it turned out that there was such a grudge between Shan Xiongxin and Li Mi, Xu Maogong still said a fair word: "Zhai Rang eldest brother can't get used to Brother Li, and he has tried to harm him several times, if he doesn't do this, I'm afraid that it will be my turn to hate Brother Zhai Rang at this time." ”

Shan Xiongxin was speechless for a long time, yes, the merits and demerits that he was entangled in at the beginning, but now in front of life and death, it seems so insignificant, he suddenly got up, solemnly knelt down for Xu Maogong and Yuan Ziyan, and knocked his head several times, and blood oozed from his forehead: "My life is resting, I just hope that the two of you can treat my family well!"
