It's night.

Taizong summoned all the ministers into the Taiji Hall to discuss the power of the contract.

……

At the same time, inside the Lizheng Palace.

The young slave still guarded Mei Niang, who was reading "The Female Rule", but she was in a daze with a book of soldiers.

Mei Niang finished reading the ninth volume. With a smile, he was about to take the tenth volume, and when he saw him like this, he smiled and said:

"What's wrong with you? Will you actually hold "Sun Tzu" in a daze? ”

The young slave was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he shook his head and smiled: "It's okay...... I just thought that when I was in the court this morning, my uncle and they were all discussing whether to save General Qibi. ”

When Mei Niang heard this, she put down the scroll and asked with a smile, "What do you think?" ”

The young slave thought for a while before saying, "The young slave is not very familiar with this Khibi general...... It's just that I heard that he was very jealous of the general Li Ji. ”

When Mei Niang heard this, she thought about it again and said, "What about General Xue?" How is General Xue Wanjun? ”

The slave was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment before replying, "General Xue...... But you hate him, right? After all, between the two, the father and emperor love General Qibi even more. ”

Mei Niang said with a smile: "I know this, but I want to know, does General Qibi know that General Xue hates him?" Did he guard against this General Xue? ”

The young slave was stunned when he heard this, thought about it for a while, only took the book, leaned back into the circle chair, and said thoughtfully: "Sister Wu's question like this reminded the young slave of one thing.

The young slave once heard the prince say that General Xue was jealous of General Qibi's merit being higher than his own, so he resisted his work in person, and even used his own merits to say, General Qibi wanted to draw his sword and fight. Later, the generals persuaded him. ”

When Mei Niang heard this, she put down the scroll in her hand and listened carefully to what the young slave said.

The young slave said again: "Later, when my father heard this, he was very angry with General Xue. He wanted to take back his merits and give it to the general of the Kham. But this General Qibi is very interesting, not only did he not accept it, but he also persuaded his father in turn, saying that he was fighting with General Xue face to face for his own reputation, but it was a man's hot-blooded nature.

But this is a private matter after all, and there is no need to mention it as a state affair. He also said that if his father punished General Xue for his reasons, wouldn't he teach Zhufan to think that his father valued Tibet and despised the man, and he would definitely relax and slacken himself. Or let those barbarians and ignorant people think that Hanchen is like General Xue, which will lead to discord between the two sides...... I actually asked myself to leave Beijing. ”

Mei Niang nodded when she heard this, and said with a smile:

"The young slave is familiar with military books, so in your opinion, how about this Khibi general?"

The young slave thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Is it temperamental...... Shen Yi can be broken, and he is handsome;

From the point of view, it can not only see the enemy's opportunities, make good use of them, but also have the vision to look at the overall situation;

When marching, he does not like to stick to the old rules, and often wins by surprise;

He is also good at knowing the enemy as if he were himself, often using small to win big, winning more with less, and counting soldiers who can surrender without fighting...... In addition, he is a pioneer and sincere by nature, and he is really a fierce general. ”

Mei Niang nodded and smiled: "can make all the young slaves praise like this, it can be seen that this general is really a rare good general in the world." But Sister Wu doesn't understand, but like such a good material, she was originally the lord of a country, why did she come to Datang back then? I'm afraid of ill intentions. ”

The young slave shook his head and said: "Sister Wu doesn't know, it is rumored that her father Qi Bige died of illness back then, but it is not true. It was a Turkic assassination. When General Khibi was nine years old, he vowed that if anyone avenged his father's revenge, he would be loyal as soon as possible. As a result, his father leveled ** and helped him Tiele clan to become stronger. He is grateful, so he should swear allegiance to my Datang. ”

Mei Niang nodded and sighed: "This kind of man is really a promise!" If we get its help, why should we be worried? ”

When the young slave heard this, he thought about it, and then suddenly smiled and said, "Sister Wu, Sister Wu...... What a ......."

Mei Niang smiled silently, only looked sideways at the childish slave, so delicate, but it provoked the childish slave's heart to flow. After a long time, he sighed: "If General Naqibi knew that his life was saved by a woman who admired him as a human being......

Don't know how to feel? ”

An hour later.

Li Zhi, the king of Jin, entered the Shangshufang to see Taizong, and was the loyal talent of Chen Qibi He Li, and asked Taizong to save him.

The ministers did not think so, and even said that it was good for the king of Jin to be merciful, but such rebel generals should not be kept.

King Jin said: "If there is such a thing, why don't you see his henchmen moving?" ”

A word woke up Taizong, and then issued an order to investigate.

Next.

The detective came to report that He Lishi was trapped by the rebel generals in the ministry, and he had gone to Xue Yantuo's tent to show his loyalty. When Taizong heard this, he was more than impressed, and immediately called for Cui Dunli, the squire of the military department, to hold the Taizong Festival, and to order the prelude to the Zhenzhu Khan, and to marry the daughter of Taizong, the daughter of the former Jieyu Yang Yuwan, and seek peace with him.

When the ministers heard this, they were amazed.

When the Zhenzhu Khan heard this, he let go of He Li and his clan.

He Li returned, so he urged Taizong not to be suitable for the emperor's daughter, so as not to increase his prestige. Taizong accepted it, according to Fang Xuanling's plan, and ordered Zhenzhu Khan to go to Lingzhou to welcome the princess Luan, and even edicted a number of 100,000 miscellaneous animals.

The consequences were as Fang Xuanling's expectation, Xue Yantuo poured all his strength to find 100,000 horses and sheep, but on the way to the job, the polar cold was bitter, the sky fell heavy snow, and more than half of the cattle, sheep and horses were killed and injured.

Xue Yantuo lost both people and money, and was furious, but because of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, he had to invade it slightly.

Because of the loyalty of He Li, Taizong was specially awarded the right general Xiaowei.

He Li was even more grateful because he knew that he had met Taizong'en. In addition, when he heard that his life was actually sought by the King of Jin, he felt grateful for the retribution.

On the fifth day of November of the same year, Zhang Jian played and Goryeo changed. Taizong was speechless.

At the end of the month, Pei Xingzhuang, the assassin of Haozhou, asked for a crusade against Goryeo, and Taizong said:

"The king of Goryeo paid endless tribute, and was killed by thieves and ministers, and I will never forget it. However, because of the funeral and chaos, although it is not expensive. Moreover, Shandong's shortcomings are not prosperous, and I really can't bear to talk about the use of soldiers. ”

At the end of the month, the governor of Guangzhou, Dang Renhong, was dismissed for corruption, and the ministers asked for beheading. Taizong couldn't bear it and wanted to find a way to survive for him, but he couldn't because of his sins. He sent an edict to the ministers with his own hand, saying: "I have three sins: knowing people and not knowing people, and one also; to the law of private disorder, two also; Good and good are not rewarded, evil and evil are not punished, and three are also. Insist on public advice, and follow the invitation. He even sat on a thin seat in the southern suburbs, and for three days, he only had one vegetarian meal a day in order to replace him.

His subordinates are grateful, and it is the end of the admonition.

Taizong is not accepted. Three days later, he demoted the party to the rank of concubine and exiled to Qinzhou. When the ministers heard it, they thought it was not good. In private, he was grateful for Pei Taizong's kindness and was more loyal to you.

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Taizong feasted the ministers, and said: "I have heard of the private discussion in the market, the prince of Dao has a foot disease, and the king of Wei is enlightened.

And there are fortunate people, and there are already those who are attached to the association.

However, although the prince is sick, he does not waste his steps. And according to the "Rites", the son-in-law dies and the grandson is established. Xiang'er is already five years old, and I will not replace the sect with sin in the end, and I will also peek into the source of the kiln! ”

After speaking, he took a sword and cut a cup to show his vigilance, and the ministers were shocked when they heard it.

On the sixteenth day of the first month of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan.

Taizong Fang Qi early dynasty, suddenly heard the flying report outside the hall, Dao Wei Zheng was seriously ill, he vomited blood and couldn't afford it, he was shocked, he abandoned the court and got on the horse, and rode to the Wei Mansion alone.

When the kings and officials heard this, they all accompanied them with chariots and horses.

……

A moment later.

Wei Mansion.

Taizong threw down the horse rope, took the horse rope alone, hurried into the Wei Mansion, and when he saw Mrs. Wei Pei, he asked with tears in his eyes:

"How is Xuan Cheng (Wei Zhengzhizi)?"

Pei was crying, and Meng Keli saw a man in a golden dragon robe, standing alone in front of him, and he was stunned when he didn't see him. After a long time, he hurriedly wanted to make a big salute, but he was helped up by Taizong with one hand, and only asked with tears: "How is my Wei Qing family?" ”

At this time, the entourage entered.

Pei Shi cried and was silent in the inner room, Taizong hurriedly walked inside, and Wang Defang landed behind him, and hurriedly followed when he saw this.

In the inner room, on a thin bed.

Wei Zheng has already described it as withered, and he can't see it for a long time. Standing on one side is Li Anyan, the Zhonglang general who was sent into the Wei Mansion by Taizong before and stayed overnight to watch Wei Zheng's illness.

Seeing Taizong, Li Anyan hurriedly saluted, Taizong stopped, and asked, "How?" ”

Li Anyan shook his head, Taizong burst into tears, remembered something again, and hurriedly asked Wang Dedao: "Is the young slave here?" ”

Wang De was about to answer, when he saw Li Zhi, the king of Jin, enter.

Taizong hurriedly said: "Childish slave, quickly invite the old immortal in, be sure to heal Wei Xiang!" ”

Seeing this, the young slave didn't dare to make a mistake for a long time, and after a while, he invited Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, to come to the doctor.

When Sun Simiao saw this, he shook his head and said silently, and Taizong said sadly: "Wei Qing must not be lost." ”

Sun Simiao replied: "Lord Wei is loyal and upright, and the old Taoist has heard his name for a long time, and he also admires it. However, the destiny is exhausted, and manpower is helpless. At most, you can prolong your life for one day, and it's just a matter of the future. ”

When Taizong heard this, he let out a loud cry of grief and remorse, and the kings persuaded him uselessly, so the king of Jin begged for help, and Sun Simiao used the golden needle technique to revive Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng knew that his time was short, so he comforted Taizong more. When Taizong heard this, he was even more sad, and asked him what was on his mind. Wei Zheng forced the words of the sect on Tuesday, and he was speechless.

When Taizong heard this, he urgently summoned the princess of Xincheng, the youngest daughter of the eldest grandson queen, into the Wei Mansion, and immediately issued an edict to surrender the princess to Wei Shuyu, and pointed to it to Wei Zheng and said: "Duke Wei, see the bride!" However, Wei Zheng could no longer thank him, and Taizong was sad and invincible, so he was willing to keep it. The ministers persuaded him helplessly.

It's night.

In the Wei Mansion, the lights are bright. Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, refused to return to the palace no matter what, and was determined to guard his loyal and direct minister Wei Zheng and complete the last journey.

However, Taizong is no longer the heroic young man he was back then, and coupled with the fatigue of state affairs, at the end of the year, he could no longer support it, so he had to rest in the Wei Mansion.

The accompanying ministers also had an edict to return to their homes, but the kings were ordered to accompany the Wei Mansion. Especially the prince, he is even more honored by his teacher.

The sound of bangbang has passed, and it is already the time of the child.

Qiang was guarding in the Wei Mansion Hall, and because he had been pampered since he was a child, he couldn't sleep and couldn't sleep anymore, but suddenly saw Mrs. Wei walk in softly and quietly motioned him to go in.

The young slave was stunned, looked at the eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother and seventh brother who were already sleeping heavily beside him, and then looked at the people around him who were not aware of it, so he took De'an, who was still holding on, and carefully followed Mrs. Wei into the inner room.
