"The merit can be overcome, but the merit cannot be concealed."

After simply spitting out these eight words, Li Xian stopped talking, and just looked at Li Ji with his eyes. He clearly saw that Li Ji's eyes suddenly changed, and he did not change back to his original appearance of being ancient and waveless.

"He killed more than 100,000 people, and connived at the soldiers to burn, kill and loot, causing the Western Expedition to fall short, do you think Xue Rengui did not hide his merits?"

Where could Li Xian, who was well-prepared, be refuted by such a question, and immediately asked rhetorically: "May I ask the master, who is the main general and who is the deputy general in this western expedition to Tiele?" ”

Without waiting for Li Ji's interface, he immediately picked up the conversation by himself: "Xue Rengui's three arrows set the Tianshan Mountain, and his fame is far away from the Tiele Tribes, and this great merit is enough to offset all his mistakes." My Tang Dynasty army is strictly disciplined, I don't believe that the Lord will not give orders, he dares to kill prisoners of war, he dares to order burning, killing and looting. The latter can also be understood as selfish desires, as for the former, according to my Tang Dynasty law, it seems that even the main general is not qualified to order the killing of prisoners, right? ”

He dragged out a long note, and suddenly stopped talking. As he expected, Li Ji did not ask, but was silent for a while. Just as he was waiting a little impatiently, he heard a burst of laughter from the other side.

"Hahahaha!"

Li Xian was baffled by Li Ji's laughter, even if he understood what he meant, he didn't have to be so exaggerated, right? This kind of thing is known to God, you know and I know, it's good to know in my heart, if Li Ji really asked, he would never admit it.

"You can see this, it's not in vain that you have studied martial arts and the art of war here in the past few years." Li Ji gently stroked the long beard on his chin, and said with a slight bow, "Now there is a lot of discussion in the DPRK and China, but all the impeachments are only aimed at Xue Rengui alone, but the main general Zheng Rentai has been left behind, which is really funny." If you want to say how Xue Rengui was also His Majesty's life-saving benefactor in the first place, this great achievement is known to the whole world, plus the factor you just mentioned, Your Majesty will not punish him for this. ”

A lifesaver? Li Xian was a little curious when he heard this, but he didn't dare to ask Li Ji, so he had to hide his doubts in his heart first. Since Li Ji said that his father, Emperor Li Zhi, would not be condemned, of course he believed that in this way, he would soon be able to mention Xue Ne's matter to Empress Li Zhiwu.

With wishful thinking in his heart, he couldn't help but be a little absent-minded, and he didn't see Li Ji's eyes change. Just as he imagined that he would draw a bow and shoot arrows in the future, his ears suddenly caught a sentence.

"I heard that you were invited to Xu Jingzong's house a few days ago?"

Li Xian woke up suddenly, and when he looked up at Li Ji looking at him with a smile, he suddenly secretly smacked his tongue at the old fox's ears and eyes. Although there is a picture of a door outside Li's house, in fact, the old fox knows everything quietly, and he is really cunning.

"That's right, master, you're really well-informed!" Li Xian didn't want to suffer in vain, and added with a smile, "Since the master knows that I went to the Xu family, you should also know what I did in it, right?" ”

"Ahem!"

Li Ji was choked by Li Xian's words, and finally could only be confused with his signature cough, and sighed in his heart that he had been fighting officialdom for decades for half his life, but he met such a quirky and unreasonable Li Xian.

Although his chest was tight, after glaring at Li Xian fiercely, he still admonished: "Although Li Yifu said that this person has a knife in his smile, but now that his official position is getting higher and he is arrogant, he is not afraid. On the contrary, you have to be careful when dealing with Xu Jingzong, this person can chase the eldest son and grandson outside the mountain, marry a daughter to the barbarian, and the heart is very different from ordinary people, if you underestimate him, I am afraid that you will have to suffer in the future. ”

There is an element of deep concern in these words. And Li Xian stood there for a long time and didn't react. The reason is very simple, in the past, Li Ji almost always gave him problems, otherwise he would ignore it, and it was rare to have such a three-point point. Therefore, after his sudden realization, he bowed down respectfully and gave a deep bow.

"Thank you for your advice!" As soon as he raised his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Li Ji smiling, obviously in a good mood, and immediately hit the snake and salivated on the stick, "I'm young and ignorant, if I encounter such a deed again in the future, please remind me a few more times." Otherwise, if I am calculated and fall into the prestige of my master, I will not be happy in my heart, right? ”

Li Ji's hand brushing his beard suddenly froze there and couldn't move, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a while. In the end, he had to glare at Li Xian fiercely, and said helplessly: "As long as you cause less trouble in the future, I will thank God!" ”

Closing the door of the study and walking out of this courtyard from the path, Li Xian finally couldn't help laughing. In fact, he wanted to laugh just now in the room, but in order not to stimulate Li Ji's emotions, he endured it until now. It's a pity that this is in the Li Mansion and not the Imperial Palace, and he doesn't dare to laugh too heartily, so his stomach has a tendency to be faintly sore.

After sorting out his emotions, as soon as he came to the martial arts arena, he pulled Li Jingye aside, and asked the so-called Xue Rengui with a serious face what was going on with his father Li Zhiyouen, but he was met with a big roll of eyes.

"Isn't it, you're the son of Your Majesty, and you don't know about such a big thing? I'm embarrassed to say that I admire General Xue! Li Jingye rarely found such a great opportunity, so he naturally ridiculed fiercely, until Li Xian was about to run away, he explained triumphantly, "When His Majesty first ascended the throne, it rained heavily for more than three days, resulting in flash floods, and the water flooded to Xuanwu Gate. Xue Rengui was stationed at Xuanwumen at that time, and he risked his life to climb the door frame and shout to the palace, so he saved His Majesty's life. ”

Li Xian almost didn't widen his eyes when he heard this, he thought that it was at least the credit of riding the savior alone on the battlefield, who would have thought that it was such a bizarre thing, even the flooded Xuanwu Gate came!

"As for the time when Xue Rengui became famous, it was even more dramatic, the white-robed young general with a double bow, Fang Tian painted a halberd to be invincible, until now, I heard that Goryeo is still singing this nursery rhyme there. Emperor Taizong was overjoyed, and he was promoted from cloth to Zhonglang all the way, and he guarded the Xuanwu Gate from here. ”

After Li Jingye said this, the curiosity in Li Xian's heart became even stronger. It's a pity to say that when he could run around everywhere, Xue Rengui had already been sent out to fight, and he was even on the same side until now. I really don't know what kind of majestic appearance this Xue Rengui is, which can make so many novels and dramas made up by future generations.

The last time Xue Ne's divine shooting had already opened his eyes, what was Xue Rengui's well-known divine shooting at home and abroad? If he really has the qualifications in this area and can learn the essence, then the allusion of bending the bow and shooting the eagle eagle will probably change the protagonist, right?
