Chapter 449: The Sacred Heart is Unfathomable
It was a very abnormal holy decree, which made everyone stunned.
All the soldiers who participated in the defense of the city, including Tian Renhui, who traveled thousands of miles to help, were rewarded, and they were given gold and silk, and a lot of titles and medals were added to them, and even Cheng Chumo gave him the title of "Captain of the Light Army", but Li Su was deliberately omitted.
How important the location of Xizhou is, everyone understands how much role Li Su has played in it to defend this city, and everyone understands it better, but when everyone has a reward, Li Su is the only one who does not, just lightly saying "Recall Chang'an", which is extremely puzzling.
The Tang Dynasty has the most abundant military merits, and since the founding of the country, it is generally rewarded and punished excessively, and meritorious service is rewarded on the spot, never delayed, Li Su is obviously the first meritorious hero to defend the city, but he does not have any rewards, whether it is an official position, a title, a title, or a title, and even a material reward such as gold silk silk did not mention a word.
After the eunuch who pronounced the decree finished reading the edict, he left the camp and entered the city, Cao Yu threw a meaningful look at Li Su, and then followed the eunuch closely and arranged for him to eat and live in the city.
Tian Renhui, Cheng Chumo and others stood up and patted the dust under their knees, and the dust in the crowd suddenly flew into the sky, choking everyone coughing.
"That's not right! Why didn't Li Su give the reward? How can Your Majesty ...... Woo. Cheng Chumo was the most anxious and coarse, and even if he yelled.
Li Su hurriedly covered his mouth, glared at him, and said, "The angel who announced the decree hasn't gone far yet, shouting so loudly, making trouble for yourself, right?" ”
After a while, seeing the figures of the eunuch and Cao Yu and the others disappearing outside the gate, Cheng Chu snorted silently and said, "Something is wrong, how can you not be rewarded for meritorious service?" This is not His Majesty's style! Li Su, you almost took your life for Xizhou, but Your Majesty didn't mention you. I Lao Cheng was the first to be unconvinced! ”
Li Su was quite calm.
He doesn't have much ambition for power and officials, Li Shimin doesn't have his own thoughts if he doesn't reward him, maybe he did something that made Li Shimin dissatisfied, so he deliberately left him out, the so-called impermanence of heaven, the sacred heart is unpredictable. He said that if you have merit, you can only be truly meritorious, otherwise, even if you give up your life, the emperor will not recognize you.
Yes, to be an emperor. It's so capricious.
Li Su patted Cheng Chumo's shoulder, glanced at Tian Renhui who was not far away, and said in a low voice: "Brother Cheng, be cautious!" ”
Cheng Chumo turned his head and glanced at Tian Renhui, snorted angrily, and stopped talking.
Tian Renhui smiled bitterly a few times, and arched his hand at Li Su and the others: "You don't have to guard against me, Mrs. Li had a steel knife and a neck. I also did not agree to send troops to help, because of my duty. I don't dare to act rashly, but I dare to pat my chest and say that Tian has never been a despicable villain who informes. ”
Li Su returned the salute to Tian Renhui and said with a smile: "General Tian is too careful, and Brother Cheng is outspoken and fast-talking, and his words are often not inferior. The subordinate is worried that he will cause trouble because of his words, but he is not deliberately guarding against you, so the general should not take it to heart. …… At the beginning, the insiders were rude, and the subordinate officials have always felt guilty, and they also asked the general to bear more. ”
Tian Renhui forced a few laughs: "Li Xianzi rest assured." Mrs. Zun had forgotten about the incident at the Yumen Pass, and Tian would definitely not play this matter to cause trouble for the Li family, but what Mrs. Zun did that day was in full view of everyone, and I am afraid that this matter cannot be hidden. ”
Li Su nodded.
At the beginning, Xu Mingzhu held the Yumen Pass guard hostage with a knife and forced him to send troops, and most of the matter also spread to Chang'an. What about the matter, it can be said to be big, and it is small to say that it is small, depending on what Li Shimin thinks, he must be a little unhappy in his heart, but it is unlikely to make a big fuss about this matter, and Tian Khan's mind will not be so narrow-minded.
In an instant, Li Su suddenly thought of a lot, such as Li Shimin deliberately not rewarding him this time, most likely because Xu Mingzhu held the Yumen guards hostage, of course, it is unlikely that he will ask for the guilt, after all, Li Su has made great contributions, and he did not say that he would ask the hero for the crime, and he deliberately did not reward him, and Li Shimin probably also had the intention of beating the warning.
After figuring out the joint, Li Su was much more relaxed.
Li Su doesn't care if he is rewarded or not, as long as Li Shimin is willing to expose Xu Mingzhu's hijacking of Tian Renhui, it will be considered a good fortune.
Seeing that Cheng Chumo was still a little angry, Tian Renhui suddenly smiled, slapped him hard, and said: "There is something particular in the holy decree, I didn't hear the taste, I am embarrassed to be angry, is it embarrassing?" ”
Cheng Chu was stunned for a moment, then glanced at him without squeaking.
At the beginning, Yumen Pass refused to send troops to save Xizhou, Cheng Chumo still has a pimple in his heart, except for the tacit cooperation between the two when they charged under the city of Xizhou for several months, Cheng Chumo didn't pay much attention to him at all the rest of the time.
Tian Renhui didn't bother to bother with him, so he only said slowly: "The people who should be rewarded in the holy decree have been rewarded, but Li Xianzi has been missed, if His Majesty has forgotten, it is naturally impossible, the reason why Li Xianzi has not been rewarded is that there are only two possibilities, one is that Li Xianzi did something that His Majesty is dissatisfied with, His Majesty has the intention of beating, and the other is ......"
Tian Renhui said this, his voice suddenly paused, but Cheng Chumo's ears had already been high, and when he saw him stop selling Guanzi, he was so angry that he stomped his feet, and his thick eyebrows were ready to go crazy.
Tian Renhui glanced at Li Su meaningfully, and said: "Second, I estimate that Your Majesty thinks that Li Xianzi's merits are too great, and the reward in today's holy decree is either to add titles and medals, or to give gold silk silk, and in the first battle of Xizhou, Li Xianzi's merits are obviously not something that a few titles or gold silk can convince the public, so Your Majesty may want to reward Li Xianzi alone, and this reward is probably not light......"
Saying that, Tian Renhui arched his hand towards Li Su, and said with a smile: "I want to congratulate Li Xianzi in advance, return to Chang'an, the decree is issued, and I am afraid that I will not be able to call you Li Xianzi again when we meet again in the future......
Cheng Chumo is not stupid in the end, his eyes widened when he heard this, and he exclaimed: "You mean, Brother Li Xian will be promoted to the knight?" What? County marquis, or Guogong? ”
Tian Renhui glanced at him, snorted, and said coldly: "Don't talk to me, I'm too lazy to talk to you, Yumen will not send troops, and I'm too lazy to argue with you on the merits, if I go back to Chang'an in the future, I will go to your house in person to talk to your father in detail!" ”
****************************************************************
Xu Mingzhu was packing her luggage, looking guilty, and her eyes were slightly red.
The content of the holy decree has long been spread throughout the camp, and all those who participated in the defense of the city have been rewarded, but his husband was deliberately ignored by His Majesty, and only said "Recall Chang'an".
Xu Mingzhu can't accept this result, she knows better than anyone what her husband has paid for Xizhou City, before the big war will start, he even sent his wife away, and clearly has the will to die with the city, this is how strong and loyal, in fact, Xizhou City did hold under the command of Fujun.
But when it's the turn of the final meritorious reward, there is no husband's share?
Xu Mingzhu was very angry at first, and even had the ridiculous idea of finding the theory of the eunuch of the decree, until later, there were many legends in the camp, saying that Li Su was not rewarded, probably related to his wife Yumen Pass holding the guard general, His Majesty was very dissatisfied, so he deliberately put aside the most meritorious man, and maybe he would settle accounts with him when he returned to Chang'an.
All kinds of rumors were noisy, Xu Mingzhu heard some of them, and then, his mood quickly changed from anger to guilt and self-blame.
It turned out that her husband was not rewarded, all because of her.
Xu Mingzhu was very uncomfortable, unintentionally, she actually blocked the way for her husband's promotion, in this era, it is a very serious sin for a wife to hinder her husband's future, especially for Xu Mingzhu, who has been brainwashed since she was a child, it is more serious than killing people and setting fires, a wife who can't give her husband any help and drags him back from time to time, what is the need for existence?
Hiding in the corner and crying secretly for a while, Xu Mingzhu wiped away her tears and silently returned to the handsome tent to pack her luggage for Li Su.
While cleaning up, Xu Mingzhu felt guilty at the same time, her heart was like a thousand arrows piercing her heart, she secretly wiped her tears with red eyes, and the crystal tears fell on the blue furoshi of the luggage one by one.
Li Su didn't notice her until she heard the sound of sniffing from time to time in her ears, Li Su felt strange, turned her head and saw Xu Mingzhu crying silently, Li Su was suddenly confused.
"Madam, there's no need to be so aggrieved when packing your luggage, right? Why don't you take a break from Madame, and I'll clean it up? ”
Xu Mingzhu hurriedly wiped her tears with Li Su on her back, turned around and said with a strong smile: "The concubine is not wronged, besides, how can there be any reason to let the husband do it himself." ”
"Then why are you crying? Reluctant to go West? ”
"Concubine...... The concubine is ......" Xu Mingzhu said, her mouth was deflated, and she simply cried: "The concubine can't stand the husband, the concubine has made such a big disaster in the Yumen Pass, and the husband was not rewarded by His Majesty, and the husband gave up his life in exchange for the credit, but he was ruined by the concubine's reckless behavior, I heard that after returning to Chang'an, His Majesty will settle accounts with the husband, and the husband will ...... You'd better take a leave of absence. ”
Li Su laughed and laughed, seeing Xu Mingzhu crying was really sad, and he couldn't help but feel distressed.
"You...... Who did you hear that His Majesty wants to settle accounts with me? ”
Xu Mingzhu sobbed and said: "Everyone in the camp said so, the concubine's disaster has affected the husband." ”
Li Su sighed, stepped forward to wipe away Xu Mingzhu's tears, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't reward or not, besides, Your Majesty has his own intentions if he doesn't reward him, this is a man's business, it has nothing to do with you, don't pull any messy black cauldron on your head, let's live in the future, there must be a rule, and it is the king to push the black cauldron to others." ”
Xu Mingzhu still cried, shook his head and said: "The husband should take a leave of absence, I heard that this matter is very serious, Your Majesty wants to ask about the guilt, the matter was done by the concubine, and the concubine will accept the guilt by herself, and will not drag the husband down." ”
Li Su rolled his eyes: "Let my mother-in-law confess, can I still raise my head and be a man in the future?" Stop talking nonsense, quickly pack your bags and get ready to hit the road. (To be continued.) )
