After sending away the 10,000 cavalry of Qibi He Li and Xue Rengui, Li Shimin also walked out of the bedroom and began to meet the ministers, announcing that he would summon the leaders of the various departments again at a later date and prepare to set off for Chang'an.

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian have both been out on the expedition for a few months, and the father and son are not in Chang'an, so Li Shimin is still not at ease.

Li Chengqian and the subordinate officials of the Eastern Palace also began to devote themselves to the affairs of the various ministries.

Now Li Chengqian has done things very carefully, taking advantage of the fact that the leaders and retinues of various departments are in Lingzhou City, and every day he sends the East Palace to worship in places where people inside and outside Lingzhou City are easy to gather, to publicize the benefits of participating in martial arts.

As the sun sets, the sky gradually darkens.

Outside the south gate of Lingzhou City, several East Palace offerings on an earthen platform are staging a story of Li Chengqian's rescue of the Turkic Lan Mountains.

It is about Li Chengqian's first entry into the grassland and found that the leader of the Lanshan tribe abused the people of the headquarters, and Li Chengqian personally led the troops to capture the Lanshan village and punished the leaders of the Lanshan tribe and the nobles in the department.

Li Chengqian was thus wholeheartedly supported by the Lanshan troops, and in the later battlefield, there was a story of the warrior Mohu of the Lanshan tribe who bravely killed the enemy, and was directly incorporated into the Tang Dynasty military camp by Li Chengqian and crowned him as the team leader.

Therefore, every day the protagonists are the warriors of various departments rescued by Li Chengqian when he first arrived in Hetao, and there are Turks, party members, and people with the surname Zhaowu Jiu.

Li Chengqian's propaganda also makes it very clear that no matter which warrior is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, he will be no different from the Han people in terms of identity.

However, these stories also have a very obvious direction, all the tribal warriors who are treated by the Tang people are people who join the Tang army in their personal capacity.

Those who were led into battle by the tribal leaders, no matter how brave they were, and how great the merits they established, were not treated by the Tang people.

As the sky became darker and darker, there were more and more people who came to watch the play under the stage, and in a shadow, two veterans took a look at the story on the stage and played the Nalan Mountain warrior Mohu, who was crowned because of his bravery in killing the enemy, gritted his teeth and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is to reuse Yidi." ”

Another person heard the words and said indignantly: "It's not just to reuse, it's just to press on the heads of my Han family's sons, you and I have fought me in the army for so many years, and I haven't mixed up with a team, that Hu'er only went out with him once, and he was crowned as a team leader......"

The person who spoke first snorted coldly when he heard this: "The team is nothing, I heard that the martial artists selected by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are all going to be crowned captains." ”

Another was shocked and said, "Ah! Is there such a thing?"

When I heard such news, I felt as if the sky was about to fall.

These two are also very interesting, only mentioning the length of time and not mentioning the fact that others have merit and they have no merit, which feels extremely unfair.

They don't know how many Han soldiers and generals Li Chengqian has promoted during this time, but it is possible that the more they know, the more uncomfortable they feel.

However, no matter where they were, such people were often in the majority, so these complaints were discovered early on and secretly channeled, so that these rumors were only an attack on Li Chengqian's policy towards the Qiang and Turks.

-----------------

The Lingzhou Governor's Mansion is temporarily here.

The main hall where Li Shimin lived was brightly lit, and a large square table was placed in the middle of the hall.

On the square table, there was a roast whole sheep and a jar of wine, and Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, father and son, sat around the table.

Li Shimin sat in the north, Li Chengqian and Li Ke sat on the east and west sides, and Li Zhi was the youngest so he sat in the south and faced north.

In recent days, Lingzhou City has been rumored to have such a banquet of eating and drinking around a large square table, as long as it is not a particularly important occasion, many people are willing to use this method to drink and feast.

One is that the relationship is intimate, the second is that everyone can sit close to each other and it is convenient to talk, and the third is that they can cook a few more things.

This is the most attractive for foodies.

Li Shimin picked up the wine glass and touched it with his three sons, drank it all, and laughed: "It's really interesting to drink and feast like this." As he spoke, he didn't ask the chamberlain to step forward, and personally drew a knife to cut a sheep's hind leg and handed it to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian hurriedly got up and caught it with both hands, Li Ke and Li Zhi hurriedly got up when they saw this and said, "Please sit down with your father, and let your sons and ministers divide the meat." ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sit down and divide it today." As he spoke, he cut off two more front legs of the sheep and gave them to Li Ke and Li Zhi, and finally cut off one of the hind legs of the sheep for himself before putting the knife and sitting down.

Seeing Li Shimin sit down, the three brothers of Li Chengqian held the leg of mutton in their hands and saluted and thanked Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was about to bow his head and nibble on the leg of mutton, and when he saw this, he waved his big hand and said: "Sit down and start eating, eat without saying a word." ”

Then the father and son let go of the big food, Li Chengqian didn't dare to eat a whole sheep's hind legs because he didn't exercise, and only ate half of them and gave the rest to Li Ke and Li Zhi, whose sheep's front legs were relatively small.

Li Shimin laughed when he saw it, put down the bones in his hand, picked up the wine glass, drank three glasses in a row, looked at Li Chengqian with a smile and said: "Chengqian is becoming more mature and stable, I am very relieved to leave the affairs of Northern Xinjiang to you." ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly got up and said, "The son is young and needs his father to fight for the son. ”

Li Shimin nodded when he heard the words, looked at Li Chengqian with satisfaction, and said: "Chengqian just have to do it boldly and with confidence, my father is not old enough to carry a horse or a gun, and these Yidi are obedient and obedient......"

Li Shimin's face was awe-inspiring at the end, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes, obviously he expressed his full support for Li Chengqian's actions against Mobei this time.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he took the opportunity to say: "Father, the son-in-law will also go back to Chang'an after dealing with these things." Although Zhang Shigui is older than the army, he is indeed not his strength in governing the people, not to mention that there are all different races here, so it is better to leave Liu Renliang to deal with the follow-up matters. ”

Li Shimin was silent for a moment and said, "Liu Renliang is not qualified enough, I have to think about it. ”

-----------------

At night, the bright moon was in the sky, spreading a layer of silver moonlight on the entire Lingzhou City.

The courtyard of a temporary official residence in Lingzhou City was also covered with silver moonlight from the windows, and a tall jujube tree in front of the landlord's window had not yet sprouted, and the dry and hard twisted branches were projected by the bright moonlight on the silver-white windows, turning into black and zigzag black lines, like cracks made by boulders.

Suddenly, a dark shadow turned out of the open yard, quietly approaching the window of the jujube tree.

The dark shadow walked to the window to look at the shadow on it, raised his hand and tapped it twice, and heard a cough sound.

"The Eastern Court is now more and more fond of power, and wants Liu Renliang to replace Zhang Dudu." The person outside knew who was inside, and then whispered directly.

There was silence for a while and asked, "What did Your Majesty say?"

"Drag!" The people outside are simple and straightforward.

After hearing this, the people inside groaned and said, "It seems that Your Majesty is still worried about his prestige in the army. ”

Speaking of this, the people outside the window fell silent, and after a while, the people in the window said quietly: "As long as we continue to spread the news that he wants to reuse the Turks and the party, his military spirit will inevitably be shaken." ”

The people outside listened to him speak very firmly, and couldn't help but hesitate: "If the public opinion is too high, will he let him break it in advance?"

Hearing the words in the window, he said confidently: "No." He also made a lot of promises to the party departments, and now he will not stand up and slap himself in the mouth. ”

"Oh......" The eyes of the people outside were revealed.

"Well, you just have to remember to activate it on the day His Majesty summons the heads of the tribes.

Don't see you and me again in the past few days, he is very suspicious and has already laid eyeliner everywhere, let's not let him attack me first. ”
