"I guess I won't survive tonight. He was already seriously injured, and then he spared no expense in his life, and the loss was extremely great. The last blow had already left him with no oil. ”

Wang Chonggu sighed softly: "Actually, I want to thank you, it's not just him? Today's events, the old slave still has palpitations when he thinks about it afterwards." ”

Then he opened the door of the tent and went in first. At this time, there were still many ministers in the tent, who seemed to be arguing about something, including Li Shimin's father Li Yuan.

However, when the two walked in, these people tacitly stopped arguing, and they all looked at Li Shimin silently and stopped speaking.

Yang Guang also paid attention at the same time, and his first sentence made the ministers in the tent slightly startled,

"This is the most powerful blessing around me. ”

He was still cold and unhappy before, but after seeing Li Shimin, his expression warmed up, and he smiled a little: "It just so happens that the ministers here are arguing about how to deal with those rebels. Virusha might as well talk about it. How should the imperial court decide on this matter?"

Li Shimin first bowed to Yang Guang in a proper manner: "Weichen Li Shimin came on order to see Your Majesty!"

After that, he raised his head and put his fists on his chest: "Regarding the matter of Your Majesty's inquiry, the minister is not a minister, and he does not dare to speak presumptuously, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”

"That's right!"

After Yang Guang heard this, he seemed to be more satisfied, and his smile was even stronger: "But the so-called simultaneous listening is clear, partial belief is dark, and sometimes I can't listen to all the minister's words." So if you have any thoughts, you can say a spade. Whatever you say, I don't blame you. ”

Li Shimin hesitated slightly, and glanced at the ministers present. But he didn't get any hints, even his father Li Yuan, at this time, he was also looking at his nose and nose, looking like an old monk in peace.

However, Yang Tong, the king of Yue, who was sitting in front of His Majesty, and Yang Yu, the acting king, all showed favor to him, and Yang Qi, the king of Yan, smiled at him slightly.

After Li Shimin pondered for a while, he no longer hesitated: "The minister thinks that these rebels are pitiful and their sins are unforgivable. According to legal principles, when all beheadings are an example, it is not too much to even punish the clan. However, the minister was also a member of the forbidden army, and it was inevitable that he would have compassion for these former compatriots. So—"

He nodded heavily towards Yang Guang: "Please Your Majesty, before all the convicted soldiers are sent to the Liaodong Army, they will be treated as daring to die." If they can wake up and fight to the death, they may be able to forgive their families. ”

When the ministers present heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, such as Pei Yun, Xiao Yu and others, all of whom showed admiration. And Yu Wenshu, Yu Shiji and others all fell into contemplation.

Among them, Su Wei looked surprised, and then showed a little helplessness.

"Before the Liaodong Army was dispatched, did you dare to die?"

Yang Guang rubbed his chin with his hand, seemingly a little unwilling, but he hesitated.

"This is a good policy, rather than indiscriminately slaughtering all these guilty soldiers, it is better to send them to serve in the army, so that they can atone for their sins a little. ”

At this time, it was Empress Xiao who was sitting next to the Son of Heaven: "If Your Majesty feels that it is inappropriate, you can also send someone to severely interrogate the criminal army, identify the culprit among them, and severely punish him." ”

"Well, the matter is settled. ”

Yang Guang smiled dumbly, and then his expression returned to seriousness: "Vilusha, I see that you have already prepared for the arrangements in the camp, so I want to ask you, have you known about tonight's events?"

Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little sad, but fortunately, he had already done his homework before he came.

"The minister is indeed prepared! Long before the winter hunt, there was a master of the Tao who warned Wei Chen, and then a few days ago, my father informed me that the arsenal of Huaqingfang had changed, and there might be demons escaping from within, so I was very vigilant. But whether it was yesterday's phantom fog or the army of corpses and bones later, Wei Chen didn't know anything beforehand. One in the battalion should be prepared, but just follow the art of war—"

After Yang Guang heard this, he immediately narrowed his eyes: "Is there a warning from a master of Taoism? Tell me, which one is a master of Taoism?"

"It's Qinghua Yuanjun!"

Li Shimin raised his head slightly, his expression was calm, and he said bluntly: "The minister's fiancée, the eldest grandson, is unclean, because of her outstanding talent, she was accepted as a registered disciple by Qinghua Yuanjun when she was a child, and she was loved by him. ”

"Qinghua? Is it her? From this point of view, I am actually the last to know about the case of the Huaqingfang Arsenal. ”

Yang Guang frowned, and his expression was also extremely complicated, with entanglement, anger, helplessness, and nostalgia, making it impossible to discern his true emotions. And after a moment, the Son of Heaven's expression returned to calm: "Go on, tell me everything you know!"

As soon as Li Shimin heard this, he knew that he had passed the test. So he relaxed and told the truth about what he had experienced last night.

Of course, if the Son of Heaven doesn't take the initiative to ask, he won't take the initiative to mention it.

However, the last question of the Son of Heaven still made him tremble again: "Someone said to me that the envoy of the rebellion this time is one of the ministers around me now. Do you think this is justified, and who is the most suspicious of me?"

Li Shimin's expression was extremely stunned, and a look of embarrassment also appeared on his face. But just when he was about to refuse, the Son of Heaven said coldly: "I asked you to answer, can Vilu Sha understand?"

Li Shimin was waiting for this sentence, he just pretended to hesitate, and under the pressure of Yang Guang's gaze, he replied in an uncertain tone: "The minister thinks that this statement is very reasonable, as for who is the most suspicious around Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to draw conclusions." It can be thought of by the ministers, if there is anything in case between His Majesty and the three emperors and grandsons today, then who will benefit the most from the king of Qi and the kings is the most suspicious. ”

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he was stunned for a while: "Aiqing seems to have specifically mentioned King Qi?

But when he spoke, he had already shown a sense of enlightenment. And Yang Xuangan, who was standing next to the ministers, looked at Li Shimin with a knife-like gaze. The eyes were cold and cold, as if he wanted to cut Li Shimin with a thousand knives, and he seemed to want to choose someone to devour.

"Virucha, you really didn't disappoint me, and you are honest and outspoken, which is indeed a good idea. ”

When the Son of Heaven said this, he flicked his sleeves slightly. And beside him, there was an inner servant who immediately opened a holy decree: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, now there is a straight fast Li Shimin has both ability and political integrity, wisdom and bravery, since he came out, he has made many great achievements——"

After a long time, the eunuch in charge of the case said the key point: "Today, he is specially promoted to the prince's left guard rate, the opening of the palace with the three divisions, the founding of the county, and the increase of 500 households in the food yi, in order to praise his merits!

But when the sentence in front of this person was spoken, there was an uproar among the ministers in this tent. Including Li Yuan, almost everyone looked at the Son of Heaven in disbelief, and was inexplicably shocked by this. So much so that no one paid attention to the contents of this decree.

Although the former has a loud name, it not only has the right to open the government, but also has its own official office, and the honor guard can also be equated with the three divisions of 'Sima, Situ, and Sikong'. But in the Great Sui, this is only the sixth rank in the eleventh rank, and it has long been unworthy of the name.

And the founding county uncle is only a knighthood on the fourth grade, which is only a little more food than the founding son before Li Shimin.

As for the prince's left guard rate, don't even care. Although the position of the prince's left guard is very high, but now the prince's position is vacant, and the six armies of the East Palace have long been abolished, and this position of the six rates is now just a fictitious honor, and has no real power.

Considering Li Shimin's meritorious deeds today, His Majesty's reward can even be said to be a little thin. Presumably because of the Son of Heaven's love and preservation of Li Shimin, he deliberately suppressed his position for the future.

But the embroidered general in the back, General Zhisheng, really surprised the ministers and shocked them very much.

Needless to say, the former is the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, who has the authority to defend the royal family and investigate all the lawless things in the world.

An embroidered general, although only four grades, but if this person can get the trust of the Son of Heaven, then his authority can even surpass the vast majority of courtiers.

As for the position of 'General Zhibei', he is a real close minister of the Son of Heaven.

The so-called Naokori General is also one of the Naokei Generals. The latter was initiated by Emperor Xiaowu of the Southern Song Dynasty, and after more than ten years, it was absorbed into the military attache system of the Northern Wei Dynasty. In the Northern Qi period, it was divided into Zhijie and Zhige, Zhizhai and Zhihou, which were collectively called "Four Straights", and they were also called Zhuyi Zhige. But in fact, the status of these three official positions is still somewhat different.

Among them, 'Zhizhai' and 'Zhige' are only those who are in charge of the palace in the palace, while 'Zhihou' is the one who is responsible for guarding the public opinion, and as for the 'Zhi's, it is worth in the palace, which is the most important and most respected by the Son of Heaven.

After the Son of Heaven succeeded to the throne, he abolished the Zhige and Zhizhu generals, and only retained Zhizhai and Zhihou, but today, His Majesty took out this official position and awarded it to Li Shimin. The deep meaning, as well as the trust of the Son of Heaven to this young man, cannot but make people think about it.

Among the people present, even Yu Wenshu, who was friendly with Li Yuan and was an ally of each other, felt inappropriate, and subconsciously wanted to speak out and admonish. But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again like the other ministers.

Whether it is the embroidered general or the general of the straight bed, they all belong to the inner court, and it is a matter that the Son of Heaven can decide, and it is not something that they, the ministers of the outer court, can put their beaks.

At this sensitive time, it is difficult not to make some bad associations with the Son of Heaven.

And Li Shimin himself, but stayed directly in place. He had guessed beforehand that the Son of Heaven would reward him heavily, and he also thought that the Son of Heaven would refrigerate him for some reason, but he didn't expect that the Son of Heaven would give him such a heavy responsibility-
