Chapter 132: The Great Army Returns

On the seventh day of Li Mu's grounding, Li Jing's army finally returned to the court. Chang'an City was jubilant, Li Mu could hear the shouts outside in the house, Li Mu was grounded and couldn't go out to see, he lay on the wall and watched for a while, and he didn't see the army, but he just saw the people. Qiaoqiao took Zhien and went out to see under Li Chongyi's escort, but he didn't squeeze in, just looked at it from a distance.

As a person of later generations, Li Mu didn't go to join in the fun, and he also knew that Li Jing returned to the dynasty this time, and what was waiting for him was not to be added to the official rank, but to blame...... It's just that he forgot a little bit, what excuse Li Shimin used to blame him, and he couldn't remember the plot of the TV series.

But within a day, the news came. It was said by Li Bi when he came over, he came once before, and discussed with Li Mu to send General Li Jing a hundred jars of wine to celebrate his achievements. This time I came to talk about this matter, and the celebration wine could not be delivered, because Li Jing was reprimanded by Li Shimin.

Listening to Li Bi, Li Mu knew what had happened. Xiao Yu, the imperial historian, impeached Li Jing for not governing the army strictly, and when he attacked and broke the tooth tent of Jieli Khan, some treasures and cultural relics were looted by the soldiers, and he asked for strict investigation. Li Shimin reprimanded Li Jing very harshly, Li Jing did not argue a word, kowtowed above the hall and confessed, and was ordered by Li Shimin to think about it behind closed doors.

When such an incident happens, the celebration wine is naturally unsendable. Li Mu was sad when he heard this, and he said that the emperor was ruthless, and he accompanied the king like a tiger, which can be seen from Li Jing's experience. Nine deaths to pacify the Turks, come back without an inch, first accept an investigation, what kind of feeling in my heart. At the same time, he also admired Li Jing's open-mindedness very much, he was so wronged that he couldn't tell a word, ordinary people couldn't do it.

Li Mu hurriedly inquired about the situation, and only then did he know what happened.

Yu Yu was born in the family of Emperor Wu of Later Liang, his great-grandfather was Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty Xiao Yan, his father's name was Emperor Ming of Later Liang, Xiao Yu was nine years old when he was named the king of Xin'an County, and the Later Sui Dynasty was established, and Later Liang was attached. In the seventh year of the emperor's reign, Xiao Yu followed his brother Xiao Cong into Sui, his sister was Empress Xiao, and Emperor Yang of Sui was his brother-in-law.

Xiao Yu can be said to have grown up in front of Emperor Yang of Sui, a standard imperial relative. But he was not a gentleman, he was very talented. When he was Emperor Yang of Sui, he was in a high position. But perhaps because of his background and relationship with the emperor, Xiao Yu's temper is very strong and stubborn, and he lacks respect for the emperor, and often quarrels when talking about things. So when he was Emperor Yang of Sui, he was often demoted, and when he was demoted, he never begged for mercy. When the emperor's anger subsided, and he remembered him again, he used it again.

Thanks to the blessing of often degrading officials, when Emperor Yang of Sui was trapped in Jiangdu, it was just in time for him to be demoted to Hechi Taishou and escaped by luck. Then the world was in chaos, everyone was chasing the Central Plains, and no one cared about him, Xiao Yu wanted to save his sister Queen Xiao, but he didn't have the ability. stayed safe and sound for several years, until Li Shimin led his troops to attack Xue Ju, passing by the river, Xiao Yu and his wife Dugu set up a family banquet to entertain them, and then they defected to the Tang Dynasty.

To say that this person's reincarnation is indeed a technical job, Xiao Yu is a living example. He was born in the Later Liang royal family and was born as a prince. Later, when the country fell, his sister married Emperor Yang of Sui, and he became the uncle of the country. When Sui destroyed Tang Xing, he was still a nobleman. Because his wife is the maiden niece of the Empress Dugu of Emperor Wen of Sui, and Li Yuan is the nephew of the Dugu family, Li Yuan and Xiao Yu's wife are aunts and cousins, and the two of them had a good relationship when they were ministers in the same palace in the Sui Dynasty. It was Li Yuan's turn to be the emperor, so he naturally remembered his friend Xiao Yu, Li Shimin attacked Xue Ju and passed by Hechi, and Li Ji specially wrote a letter inviting him to join the court as an official.

Xiao Yu was unacceptable, Li Yuan was also very kind to him, and when he arrived in Chang'an, he immediately awarded Xiao Yu the title of Guanglu doctor, named the Duke of Song Guo, and worshiped the Ministry of Civil Affairs, that is, Tang Jian's predecessor.

According to this, Xiao Yu should be Li Yuan's ironcore. After the change of Xuanwumen, it should be suppressed. But no, when Li Yuan was the prime minister during his reign, only Xiao Yu was retained. The reason is that Xiao Yu was the only one among the several important ministers at that time who proposed to establish a virtuous person but not a successor. At that time, the competition between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng for the throne entered a white heat, and the important ministers of the court either supported Li Jiancheng or did not express their position, and only Xiao Yu clearly supported Li Shimin, and was reprimanded by Li Yuan for this.

When Li Shimin became the emperor, he naturally wanted to repay this kindness, and specially entered Xiao Yu to shoot for Shangshu's left servant. also wrote a poem to him, which is the one that many people don't know the name, but they have heard: "The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the board knows the Chengchen." The brave man knows righteousness, and the wise man must be benevolent. ”

has a good life, a good vision, and a very good minister, who is talking about Xiao Yu. If you put it in a novel, this is a proper template for the main character. But I don't know if it's because my life is too good, or if I feel that my qualifications are too deep and fearless, it's time for Li Shimin to be the emperor, and Xiao Yu's death has not changed.

Not long after Li Shimin appointed him as the left servant of Shangshu, Xiao Yu quarreled with a minister during a court meeting, and Li Shimin couldn't stop drinking. was so angry that Li Shimin dismissed the two of them from their official positions and titles on the spot, and let the two of them think about it behind closed doors.

Another official thought about it honestly, but Xiao Yu felt that he couldn't afford to be sick, and Li Shimin had no choice but to send someone to comfort and encourage, and soon he was used again, and the matter was resolved.

Now he has become a doctor of the imperial history because he has been sued. Xiao Yu had a good relationship with Tang Jian, and when he learned that Tang Jian was going to envoy to the Turks, he wrote a letter to his family, wanting Tang Jian to hand it over to Empress Xiao. The two siblings have depended on each other since childhood, needless to say how deep their relationship is, there is no problem in writing a letter. But the bad thing is that when Tang Jian passed by Li Jing's camp, he stayed for a day, Li Jing set up a banquet to entertain Tang Jian, and Tang Jian said this during the banquet, and somehow it reached the ears of a certain imperial historian in Chang'an. The imperial historians are all people who have nothing to do, and when they heard about this, they anonymously wrote a letter to accuse Xiao Yu of fornicating with the Queen of Sui, and were suspected of collaborating with the enemy to rebel.

The evidence of this incident was conclusive, and Li Shimin had no choice but to dismiss his prime minister. But how could Li Shimin believe this kind of nonsense, he also knew the motives of this imperial historian, and then let Xiao Yu be the imperial historian, whether it was to deter or to make Xiao Yu angry.

Xiao Yu became a doctor of imperial history, but he did not declare a personal vendetta. Because he took this grudge on Li Jing, he felt that Li Jing leaked the secret. In time for Li Jing's army to return to the court, when it was the most beautiful, he played a lawsuit against Li Jing for not governing the army strictly, purely to block Li Jing and make him uncomfortable.

It just so happened that Li Shimin didn't know how to reward Li Jing, worried that he would be a master of high merit, and the timing was just right. Li Shimin took this opportunity to reprimand Li Jing and exempted him from the problem of rewarding. Li Jing knew it, so he didn't say a word, and went home to thank the guests.

There is a lot of discussion about this in Chang'an City, and there are people who support either side, but they don't dare to say it on the surface. As for the figures of Cheng Yanjin, Li Ji, Fang Xuanling, and the eldest grandson Wuji, none of them have expressed their position. The emperor's thoughts, who dares to guess, now that he has expressed his position, tomorrow Li Shimin will reward Li Jing again, isn't it not flattering to both sides?
