Chapter 44: Li Jing Returns to the Dynasty

The five surnames guarding outside Jingyang Village gradually dispersed, and Li Zheng did not make any indication about the five surnames this time, which was almost a refusal.

The people who were waiting for the news in Chang'an also broke up unhappily, and this kid really dared to refuse the invitation of the five surnames.

It's a pity that a twelve-year-old kid turned down an invitation from the fifth surname.

But there are also many people who feel happy, the five surnames have always been pretentious, and it is the first time that they have been rejected by a child and made their faces gloomy.

Some people say that Li Zheng is doing the right thing, and some people say that Li Zheng is really stupid.

Some people are happy and some are sad, Li Shimin is happy, and the people who are sad are the five surnames.

Today, Li Shimin successively dispatched imperial doctors from the Imperial Physician Office of the DPRK and Central China to provide free medical treatment to the people around Chang'an.

The government and the opposition have received rave reviews.

He is really the king of the world!

Even Wei Zheng'er doesn't scold Li Shimin these days.

Under the peace, the eldest grandson Chong learned from the pain, and he must get the kid Li Zheng down.

The eyes of the entire Chang'an converged on Li Zheng, this was the first time that he felt neglected, and the people around him looked at him more and more strangely.

A few days later, there was a major event in Chang'an, the great victory that came from Yinshan in March this year, and it has been two months since General Li Jing's class returned to the DPRK

Today is the day when Li Jing arrives in Chang'an, and Li Shimin asks the ministers and generals to go to the city gate to greet Li Jing.

Li Jing took the soldiers and horses to Chang'an City three miles away, and from here you can see Chang'an City in the distance at a glance.

As Li Jing grabbed the reins and stopped the horses under him, the army also stopped.

Su Dingfang, who was with the army, looked at Li Jing and asked, "General, it's time to enter the palace to meet Your Majesty." ”

Li Jing said in a low voice: "You go to Chang'an City to accept the reward, and the old man is going to see someone." ”

Su Dingfang hesitated in place, glanced at the army and said, "You guys are in Chang'an City." ”

After speaking, Su Dingfang took a team of soldiers and horses to follow Li Jing in another direction.

In front of the gate of Chang'an City, Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, Cheng Yanjin and other generals have been waiting for Li Jing's arrival, but the army has returned, but Li Jing is not seen.

"Isn't this Li Jing going to accept the reward?" Cheng Yanjin couldn't stand still and asked the general who came back.

"What about Li Jingren?"

"The general seems to have gone to the direction of Jingyang, but he didn't say what he was going to do, let's come back first." The general replied.

Wei Chigong stood at the gate of the city and walked back and forth, "Your Majesty is still waiting in the palace, what kind of moth is this Li Jing doing in the middle of the road." ”

Qin Qiong said: "Li Jing must have his reasons for doing this, and besides, I think Li Jing will never be in charge of the military again when he comes back this time." ”

As soon as these words came out, several generals present understood what they meant.

Li Jing's prestige in the army is too great, not to mention half of the Tang Dynasty, too many of which were fought down by Li Jing with his troops.

The four big characters of the master of the high merit are hanging above his head, even at this time, it is not strange that Li Jing is relieved and returns to the field.

"Shall we wait here?" Wei Chigong asked.

"Let's go in first, let's just say that Li Jing has eaten something bad and has a stomach upset" It doesn't matter if Cheng bites the gold, it is estimated that Li Jing will not care.

Escorting the ashen Jieli Khan, several people led the team into Chang'an.

Li Shimin sat in the Taiji Palace and waited for Li Jing to escort Jieli Khan.

The eunuch who gave the order hurriedly ran and said, "General Li Jing is not seen in the army. ”

"What about people?" Li Shimin's expression was very calm, and Li Jing did not follow into the palace but was not much surprised.

The herald eunuch whispered, "Say it's eating...... Eat bad stomach. ”

Li Shimin laughed and said: "It's an excuse made by Cheng Yanjin, an old horseman." ”

"I think so."

Sometimes it is a tacit understanding between monarchs and ministers, Li Jing and Li Shimin have known each other for many years, so many years to pacify the chaos, the world to fight against the tyrannical Sui, together there are side by side, there are echoes before and after, and there are also internal and external combinations.

Li Shimin is most at ease with Li Jing.

Whether it is a war or a central government, Li Jing is a man who can calm down to the freezing point on the battlefield.

Li Shimin stood up and handed the holy decree in his hand to the eunuch who gave the order, "The other generals are rewarded according to my will, and Jieli Khan will enter the dungeon of Dali Temple, and ask for beheading after the autumn." ”

"Whoa."

The eunuch nodded.

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin also left the Taiji Palace.

Originally, it was supposed to be a grand reward, but now it can't be done.

As for Jieli Khan, Li Shimin didn't even want to look at him.

The eunuch who passed the decree glanced at the will, and there were rewards for all the generals above, but Li Jing was missing.

General Li Jing returned, and the people in Chang'an were cheering, which should have been a festive event, but the court was very quiet.

Long before the expedition to Yinshan, Li Jing had the intention of withdrawing from the court.

Li Shimin didn't use Li Jing anymore at that time.

It's just that it was difficult to decide for a while, and Li Jing took the initiative to ask for help.

This allowed Li Jing to go on the expedition, which was full of twists and turns, and no one knew what they said in several conversations between Li Shimin and Li Jing.

The relationship between Li Jing and Li Shimin is very delicate, and this is something that many old ministers in the DPRK and China know.

Jingyang

Li Jing and Su Dingfang had just arrived in Jingyang County with a team of soldiers and horses.

When the soldiers and horses entered the village, the villagers immediately knew.

Pulling the reins, Li Jing looked at the villagers here and asked, "Who is Li Zheng in Jingyang?!" ”

The villagers immediately discussed, could it be that they were here to arrest Li Zheng?

"Who is Jingyang Li Zheng!" Li Jing asked loudly again.

Many villagers stepped forward, and they had no intention of retreating in the face of the officers and soldiers.

"What are you looking for Li Zheng again?" A villager asked.

In the face of the confrontation of the villagers, it seems that they want to protect Li Zheng and not hesitate to fight against the officers and soldiers?

Li Jing didn't laugh angrily, "It seems that Li Zheng is still quite popular here." ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Dingfang rode his horse to Li Jing's side, "General, should we ......?"

Li Jing turned over and dismounted, took off his helmet and put down the sword in his hand and said, "Fellow villagers, Li Jing is down!" I also invited Li Zheng, the son of Jingyang County, to come out and see him. ”

Li Jing?

All at once the villagers began to talk again.

Li Jing, who had just won the battle and returned to the dynasty, shouldn't he go to Chang'an to accept the reward at this time? Why did you come to our village?

"What are you looking for Li Zheng?"

The villager asked boldly.

Li Jing opened his mouth and said: "Li Zheng has a meritorious service to the Yinshan War. ”

"Li Zheng should take a nap at home at this time."

Knowing the situation, Li Yifu hurriedly ran over, "I have seen General Li Jing, and the lower official is the deputy of Li Zheng, the prince of Jingyang County, who is the head of Jingyang County, Bo Li Yifu, and helps the prince of Jingyang County to take charge of the affairs of Jingyang County." ”

That's General Li Jing! Li Yifu introduced himself for the first time.

"Where's Lee?" Li Jing asked.

"Jingyang Ling should be napping at home at this moment, and General Li Jing will come with me." Li Yifu invited.

Li Jing signaled that Su Dingfang and his party all dismounted, which had already disturbed the people.

Su Dingfang took off his helmet and followed Li Jing's footsteps.

All the way to the door of Li Zheng's house, Li Yifu said: "General, wait a minute, the lower official will go to wake up Jingyang County." ”
