Chapter 154: Liang Guogong
Li Haochen was greeted by Li Jiancheng to the room, and then reported to Li Jiancheng about the trip to Yanshan, Li Jiancheng was very satisfied with Li Haochen's achievements, when he said that Tuli threw himself into Tang and Jieli died, Li Jiancheng paced back and forth in the room in surprise, with an extremely excited expression.
Li Haochen knows that the hope of any king can have the merit of expanding the territory, and Li Jiancheng is no exception, looking at Li Jiancheng's happy expression, Li Haochen also showed a knowing smile, and the emotion of the death of a confidant rose in his heart.
Li Jiancheng then asked the chamberlain to pass the word that Tuli and his party entered the palace to see the driver, and Tuli and the others came in and bowed to Li Jiancheng, in fact, Tuli is a Turkic Khan itself does not need to bow to Li Jiancheng, but now that Tuli has voted for Tang, that is, the subjects of the Tang Dynasty naturally want to bow to Emperor Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng looked at Tuli in the middle of the high seat and said: "You and other Fanbang have repeatedly violated my Tang Dynasty, and should have sent troops to suppress it, but God has the virtue of a good life, today you can repent and let the people in the world go to a catastrophe, which can be regarded as meritorious, I will no longer pursue the sin of violating my border, and you will go to Lechenghou to report to me, it is very agreeable, I don't know if you have anything else to say?" ”
Tuli didn't expect that he would be beaten by Li Jiancheng just after he voted for Tang, and his heart was very unpleasant, but people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, even if Tuli is dissatisfied now, he doesn't dare to show it at the moment, and hurriedly said: "Heavenly Pilgrimage Holy Grace, Your Majesty is merciful, Tuli is already very grateful, and he doesn't dare to ask for anything more." ”
Tuli didn't know that his performance was in harmony with the emperor's heart, if Tuli now reached out to ask for the title, he might end up giving him very little, or simply not giving it to him, now he is very obedient, so Li Jiancheng is in a good mood and said: "Tuli Khan is generally obedient to my Tang Dynasty, I definitely can't treat you badly, Tuli listens to the seal!" ”
When Tu Li heard this, the trace of unhappiness in his heart just now disappeared immediately, and he immediately bowed down again with a smile, waiting for Li Jiancheng's next words.
Li Jiancheng didn't let Tuli wait, but after Tuli bowed down, he said: "I will make Tuli the king of Anle, hereditary replacement, sealed in Yanzhou, and my northern frontier will be handed over to you in the future!" ”
Yanzhou is the gateway to the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, the strategic significance of this city is extraordinary, Li Haochen did not expect that Li Jiancheng was happy to give Yanzhou to Tuli, if Tuli has two hearts, he can completely cut the land and stand on his own, which is a matter of endless trouble.
Li Haochen wanted to say something, but he was in a very good mood when he saw Li Jiancheng's eyebrows flying, so he simply didn't say anything. Besides, the emperor is Chrysostom after all, and it will definitely be bad if he refutes it in public, and it seems that he can only find time to persuade Li Jiancheng later. Thinking like this in his heart, Li Haochen just opened his mouth and didn't say anything.
Tuli naturally knew the superiority of the geographical location of the city of Yanzhou, and immediately thanked Li Jiancheng with joy, Li Haochen looked at Tuli's expression coldly, and sighed secretly in his heart: "It seems that this King of Anle of the Tang Dynasty doesn't want to be happy very much!" ”
In this regard, Li Haochen looked at Tu Li several times with warning, and Tu Li seemed to understand Li Haochen's worries, and his expression, which was still happy just now, instantly converged.
Just when Li Haochen warned Tuli with his eyes, Li Jiancheng looked at Xue Rengui again, and then said, "General Xue, I heard that Lechenghou said that you killed Jieli, right?" After receiving Xue Rengui's affirmative reply, Li Jiancheng spoke again: "Not bad! Very good! The little general can make such a great contribution at such an age, although Wei Qinghuo can't get sick! There is really the wind of a father, and the future will be the pillar of my Tang Dynasty! God's love, I have a successor in the Tang Dynasty! Li Jiancheng sighed, and said with a serious expression again: "Xue Rengui listens!" ”
Xue Rengui hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "Little minister, I can make this contribution, thanks to Your Majesty's protection and my father-in-law's proper command, I don't dare to take credit, and I ask Your Majesty to take back your life, and I want to learn from my father-in-law for a few more years!" ”
Li Jiancheng didn't expect Xue Rengui to know how to advance and retreat at such a young age, and he was in a very good mood, so he laughed and said: "General Xue, you don't know what I want to reward you, why should you refuse in a hurry first?" After speaking, he paused and said: "I named you a loyal martial uncle, and I still follow Lechenghou, and when you are an adult, I will choose a house for you and let you open a house!" ”
Xue Rengui didn't thank him for the first time, but looked at Li Haochen, although Li Haochen felt that it was not particularly suitable for Xue Rengui to be knighted at such an age, but Li Jiancheng's words had already been said, and he couldn't let Xue Rengui refuse Li Jiancheng in public, so he nodded secretly.
After Xue Rengui got Li Haochen's nod, he kowtowed to Li Jiancheng to thank him.
After Xue Rengui thanked him, Li Jiancheng looked at Li Haochen and said, "Haochen, you have made a great contribution to me this time, and I want to reward you heavily!" ”
When Li Haochen heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty's kindness to your ministers is as heavy as a mountain, and it is within your Majesty's responsibility to share your worries. Please also ask Your Majesty to take back your order! ”
Li Jiancheng pointed at Li Haochen and laughed when he heard this: "You, you, you father and son are really alike!" Do you remember that I told you before that you can only ask for what I give you, and you can't ask for what I don't give you? ”
When Li Haochen heard this, he hurriedly saluted and said: "Your Majesty's teachings, the ministers will always remember them, and they dare not forget them for a moment!" ”
Li Jiancheng listened to Li Haochen's words, nodded with satisfaction and continued to speak: "Then I will tell you one more sentence today, that is what I reward you, you must ask for it, you can't refuse!" After speaking, Li Jiancheng looked at Li Haochen with a smile.
Li Haochen knew that Li Jiancheng's words were a joke, but the companion was like a tiger, Li Haochen didn't dare to be careless at all, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Remember Your Majesty's teachings!" ”
Li Jiancheng was very satisfied with Li Haochen's careful response, but he still said: "I just joked with you just now, Haochen doesn't have to take it seriously!" After speaking, Li Jiancheng paused for a moment, and his expression became a little serious: "Lecheng is waiting for Li Haochen to pacify the Turks for my Tang Dynasty, and make immortal contributions, and I will add Li Haochen as the Duke of Liang!" ”。
With Li Jiancheng's previous words, Li Haochen didn't dare to refuse, and hurriedly bowed down to give thanks, and after the reward, Li Jiancheng left everyone to have a dinner together, which was regarded as a celebration for Li Haochen and his party.
Everyone went to the side hall for a banquet, but Li Haochen stayed, looked at Li Jiancheng with a somewhat solemn expression and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know if the direction of Yunzhou is too peaceful?" ”
