When the army returned to Chang'an, it was already the winter moon of the ninth year of Zhenguan. 【思~路~中~文. Hand hit 】

Snowflakes sprinkled from the sky and fell, falling on the flags and on the armor of the soldiers.

100,000 Tang troops returned to Chang'an and were stationed outside Chang'an, waiting to be disbanded and returned to the provinces. Of course, before disbanding, of course, you have to eat two meals, and take a good look around Chang'an City, and if you want to receive the battle medal that Li Jing promised, it belongs to you.

When Li Jing took a group of generals to complete the formalities in the military department and went to Li Shimin to return the fish talisman, Li Jing brought up the matter of this medal, and said at the end: "This matter is all Zhang Yunwen's thoughts!" If Your Majesty has any doubts, you can ask him! ”

Li Shimin smiled when he heard this: "This matter of the Military Industry Medal is really a great good, what doubts can I have?" It's Yunwen, you have such a good idea, why didn't you say it earlier, and you didn't say it until now? ”

Zhang Yunwen said: "Well, it's not that I didn't tell Your Majesty earlier, this is really what Weichen came up with in Tuyuhun!" ”

Li Shimin smiled, and turned to Li Jing: "Don't worry, Ming Gong, I will definitely complete this matter within ten days!" ”

After returning the fish talisman, Li Shimin set up a banquet in the palace and feasted all the generals.

After coming out of the palace and arranging relevant matters, Zhang Yunwen rushed home. Now he is anxious to see his wife and daughter.

When Zhang Yunwen's figure appeared at the door of the house, Li Yu, who was holding Zhang Yan in the courtyard to enjoy the plums, was suddenly stunned, and after a while, his eyes were full of tears, looking at Zhang Yunwen, without blinking or saying a word.

Zhang Yunwen immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, "Yu'er, I'm back for my husband!" Let's hug my husband! ”

Li Yuqiao's face suddenly turned red. At this time, Zhang Yan in Li Yu's arms pulled Li Yu's shirt and asked with a smile: "Auntie, is it Daddy?" Seeing Li Yu nodding wordlessly, Zhang Yan suddenly let out two "giggles" of laughter happily, opened his arms, and said in a milky voice: "Daddy, hug!" ”

Zhang Yunwen was stunned for a moment, then laughed, stepped forward, and hugged Zhang Yan in Li Yu's arms: "Come, daddy hug!" ”

Only then did Zhang Yan pick him up, and a voice came from the corridor: "Yan'er, don't let him hug him, your father only knows how to lead the troops to fight, and he doesn't care about family affairs, this time, it's another year, and I don't know how long we've been worried!" ”

When he looked at it, he saw a beautiful woman standing on the cloister, and a pair of beautiful eyes shot directly at Zhang Yunwen.

"Hehe, Rou'er!" Zhang Yunwen didn't care about Zhi Rou's words, holding Zhang Yan in one hand and Li Yu in the other, "Aren't I coming back?" Li Yu also smiled: "Yes, Sister Rou, Xianggong is back today, we have to celebrate!" Then he said in a loud voice, "Someone! ”

Mei Xiang, who heard the voice, immediately rushed over, and when she saw Zhang Yunwen, she was also full of joy and said, "Master, you're back!" We look forward to your return every day! ”

After listening to Mei Xiang's words, Li Yu said with a smile: "Why Mei Xiang, are you also looking forward to the master's return?" ”

Mei Xiangxiao's face was slightly red, and she nodded: "Yes, every day when I see the two ladies sad, we who are maids feel distressed!" Of course, I hope the lord will come back soon! ”

Li Yu was a little surprised by Mei Xiang's words, and hurriedly said: "Mei Xiang, you girl, what are you talking about here!" Don't hurry up and prepare, today we will set up a banquet for your lord to catch the wind and wash the dust! ”

Mei Xiang "giggled" twice and then retreated.

Although the army returned to Chang'an, the entire Qinghai Longyou region did not settle down.

When the army first arrived in Qinghai, they were not familiar with the road, so they invited a large number of local party members to be guides. It was only when the scouts became acquainted with the whole of Qinghai that the situation changed.

And these party members, after receiving heavy gifts from the Tang Army, also led the way with all their hearts. However, when the Tang army withdrew, these party members, believing that they had contributed to the Tang Dynasty, actually sent troops to attack Diezhou, in a vain attempt to plunder it, and repelled the defenders of Diezhou.

Hearing this news, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but secretly speculate in his heart whether the head of the party was caught in the door, knowing that the Tang Dynasty's western expedition to Tuyuhun was directly caused by Tuyuhun's soldiers Koulongyou's states, how could they dare to send troops to attack Diezhou now.

However, after careful investigation, it was found that the reason was not just a pride, but it was related to Li Daoyan, the head of the Chishui Road March. At the beginning, Li Jing bribed the party with money and property and invited a guide. And the party chief Tuoba Chi said in the big tent: "The Sui people have no faith and like to plunder me." Now the armies have no different intentions, and I ask them to provide them with provisions; If not, I will take the risk of the army. Li Jing and the generals agreed.

However, when Li Daoyan marched to Kuoshui, he saw that Tuoba Chici was defenseless, so he sent troops to attack him and obtained more than 1,000 cattle and sheep.

This move aroused the resentment of the tribes and Qiang of the party, and they marched to the Wild Fox Gorge, making Li Daoyan unable to advance an inch. In the end, he had to take a detour and was attacked by Tuoba Chici, losing more than 10,000 soldiers. Now, this party's attack on Diezhou was led by Tuoba Chici himself.

After thoroughly investigating the whole story, Li Shimin ordered Li Daoyan to be detained back to Chang'an, and after the trial, he should be executed, but he remembered his hard work and high merits, so as not to die and move to the border.

Thinking of the comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side with him, he ended up like this, and the generals couldn't help but feel sad about the death of rabbits and foxes.

But what happened next was a little unexpected for Zhang Yunwen. It turned out that when the credit was finally evaluated, who owned the merit of killing Fu Yun? Li Shimin originally wanted the four of them to divide it equally, but Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche disagreed, they thought that it was Xue Wanche who cut off Fu Yun's head, and after nitrate, and returned it to Beijing, he should be credited. Hearing this statement, Zhang Yunwen scoffed and did not argue with them. However, he stood on top of the golden palace and told the truth and the truth.

In the end, Li Shimin reprimanded the Xue family brothers, and let the work of killing Fu Yun be divided equally among the four of them.

However, after he heard Fu Yun lead his neck to kill himself, more than two hundred knights followed, and said with a sigh: "This Murong Fu Yun is a masterpiece of a generation, and when Sui is strong, he is willing to forbear, serving the war in the Central Plains, and taking advantage of the situation!" Now when he dies, he has his subordinates with him, what a life in vain! ”

In the end, the merits were evaluated, and the medals due to the soldiers outside the city were all counted. Among them, the iron medal was uniformly received, the bronze medal was personally handed down by the 12th Wei general, the silver medal was personally handed down by the general, and the gold medal was personally awarded by Li Shimin.

Eighty-two people received silver medals, while fewer than ten gold medals were awarded, and only seven were awarded. Among these seven men, there were famous soldiers who fought to the death, and actually killed 125 enemy soldiers, the highest in the whole army. There is also a soldier who won the gold medal because he inadvertently appeared the Tianzhu King, and led a hundred people to attack the Tianzhu King's construction of more than 1,000 people, and finally captured the Tianzhu King.

And Ma Wangshan Ying was thrilled to be awarded a silver medal for shooting the enemy commander in the Battle of Niuxindui.

Of course, in addition to this medal, a large number of officials were also sent out.

As for the generals, each of them also received a reward.

Zhang Yunwen's title was raised again by one level and became the Duke of Pingzhou County. Although this county duke is only the lowest level of dukes, and there are still county dukes and state dukes on it, he is the youngest of all dukes. Except, of course, for those foreign chieftains and the Li Tang royal family.

Except for the title, Zhang Yunwen's official system has not changed, and he is still a left guard general. But he was rewarded with a great deal of money.

In this way, time passed slowly, from the fourth day of the winter month when I first returned to Chang'an, and in a blink of an eye, it was the twenty-eighth day of the winter month.

On the 29th day of the winter month, Zhang Yunwen went to the court as usual, but the atmosphere in the court was a little different, and the eyes of several officials of the Yushitai looked at Li Jing a little strangely.

After Li Shimin entered the main hall and sat on the dragon throne, Xiao Yu took a step forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Yushitai received a secret letter yesterday, and now the old minister Chen Zhi is in front of His Majesty!" ”

As he spoke, he took out the letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands.

Li Shimin took the letter from the hand of the chamberlain next to him, opened it and glanced at it, and then angrily threw the letter in the hall, "Ridiculous, really ridiculous!" How can you believe such nonsense? ”

Xiao Yu picked up the letter on the ground, but said loudly: "Your Majesty, regardless of whether this matter is true or not, once it appears, it needs to be thoroughly investigated, no matter who it is!" Therefore, the minister suggested that Li Jing and Li Fu should be thoroughly investigated! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar, and the generals retorted loudly: "What did Li Servant commit and need to be thoroughly investigated?" ”

"Is it just a letter to thoroughly investigate the heroes?"

Before Li Jing could speak, Li Shimin said: "Old Xiao, look at the letter with the pharmacist!" ”

Xiao Yu handed over the letter. Li Jing looked at it twice and said disdainfully: "Although this person is anonymous, his handwriting has changed slightly, but the old man still recognizes it!" This is Gao Zhensheng's handwriting! Hehe, I didn't expect this person to be so narrow-minded, he missed the military period that day, and the old man beat him with fifty military sticks, and today he will tell the old man in a secret letter that he is rebelling! ”

Hearing Li Jing say this, Li Shimin's face turned pale, and all the generals also scolded one after another, only Xiao Yu still said: "This letter is indeed from Lizhou, as for whether it is the handwriting of Gao Thorn Shi, the old man is not clear." But since there is a secret letter report, of course the old man has to investigate, this is the old man's responsibility! I also hope that Li Fu will shoot forgiveness! ”

Li Jing said with a smile: "Where is Lord Xiao, what forgiveness is not forgiven, the door of the old man's house is open, and the servants and soldiers everywhere are registered, and when the time comes, Lord Xiao will check it!" As he spoke, he waved to Li Shimin, "In order to show the innocence of the old minister, the old minister asks His Majesty to order the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai to investigate together!" ”

Li Shimin glanced at Li Jing deeply and nodded: "I promise it!" ”

Therefore, from that day on, the Yushitai, the Criminal Department, and Dali Temple coordinated to investigate Li Jing's actions and remarks during the war, as well as the personnel and property in his house. Half a month later, the three parties came to the conclusion that this secret letter was purely framed, and Li Jing did not have the slightest act of rebellion.

This result made Li Shimin feel relieved and angry at the same time, but he ordered an investigation into whether this secret letter was really written by Gao Zhensheng. After investigating, it turned out to be true.

Li Shimin originally wanted to put him to death, but remembering that he was a meritorious hero of the Qin Palace, he changed his death to migration and exiled him to the frontier.

Someone said to Li Shimin: "Gao Yongsheng is a meritorious hero of the Qin Mansion, please forgive his crimes." ”

Li Shimin said: "Gao Yingsheng violated Li Jing's temperance and slandered him, but this can be lenient, and the law will be peaceful!" And the country has been in Jinyang since then, and there are many heroes, if they are exempted, everyone will break the law, and it will be forbidden! I have not forgotten the old xun, and I dare not forgive my ears for this. ”

When everyone heard this, they had to retreat and say no more.

And Li Jing, after this false accusation, said that he was recuperating at home, and he cut himself off from guests, even if relatives and friends visited, he was not allowed to see each other casually.
