Chapter 567: What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
In the original history, the funeral of the eldest grandson queen was held a few years earlier, and Wei Zheng had to come out to advise Li Shimin not to be too sad, but now Wei Zheng left earlier than the queen, and the queen still died in a certain sense, which is even stronger than in history for Li Shimin.

Especially the one who did the black hand was their most beloved youngest son Li Zhi, and Li Shimin was even more difficult to let go, so Li Shimin, who saw him at the funeral, already had an old state on his face that could not be concealed, and he was deeply sad. If it weren't for the little son who kept comforting him, it really made people worry about whether Li Shimin would collapse like this.
This change has also changed a lot to the little son, she is no longer the simple little girl, or a pure girl who has just opened her love, and her face is a little more mature and sentimental.
The more empathetic a child like her, the more sensitive her mind is, and her dearest brother does such a thing that is inferior to a beast, which makes her lose her dear mother, and she must have a lot of pain and sorrow in her heart.
Fortunately, she did not lose her kindness because of this, and she did not become a woman full of resentment and even viciousness, and she was still the intimate little padded jacket of that father. Although he looked very tired, he really didn't plant any demons because of this.
If this was the originally well-behaved and lovely little son, this future daughter-in-law that Shi Lei identified had also become blackened, Shi Lei would definitely kill Li Zhi's bastard with his own hands, making him regret coming to this world for a while, even if Zhang Shigui protected him.
At the funeral, Shi Lei also met the crown prince Li Chengqian, who has been living in seclusion recently, and he was accompanied by Xue Rengui, the loyal head of the guard. It can be said that in this rebellion, Xue Rengui saved Li Chengqian's life.
If he hadn't led a loyal subordinate to desperately protect Li Chengqian, this prince would have either been killed by the black hand of the chief Ananda he had trusted, or he would have been sent out, and together with the guards who had been fooled and lame, he would have become the main force of the rebellion and fired the first shot of the rebellion, then he would really be full of mouths and couldn't tell clearly, how could he still be like now, he could still follow Li Shimin closely, and he would not be relegated to a corner to squat and wait for death.
After seeing Shi Lei, Xue Rengui still nodded seriously and said hello, seeing that if the conditions were not allowed, he would definitely have to come over and have a good chat with Shi Lei, even so, with sincere gratitude on his face and apologies for not being able to come.
If it weren't for Shi Lei reminding him many times to be careful of the prince's safety, if it weren't for the group of top masters who came from the Shi family and stayed firmly by the prince's side with him, how could he have the credit of setting things right now, and he would have become one of the rebels and thieves, or become the first batch of victims.
Probably because of Xue Rengui's reminder, Li Chengqian, who had been silently following behind Li Shimin, also looked at Shi Lei. On his face that was originally full of sadness, he pulled out a rare sincere smile, and nodded to Shi Lei, which can be regarded as a greeting.
Such a scene is obviously not a suitable place for greetings, Shi Lei also sent a smile full of kindness, with concern and understanding in his eyes, but no sympathy, and no consolation.
It's not that Shi Lei is not a friend enough, so he doesn't want to unravel this friend of the same age who has suffered a big change. On the contrary, it is precisely because Shi Lei understands this friend that he does not do any useless persuasion, or say some clichés such as mourning and obedience, let alone show the slightest sympathy.
Because Li Chengqian is a proud person in his bones, and for a proud person, he does not need this kind of useless sympathy, and in doing so, it is easy to be regarded as a kind of pity, which is something they hate deeply, because they always want to be strong, not weak.
After returning from the funeral, Shi Lei's small life was basically back on track, and the trauma caused by the rebellion was gradually forgotten by people, and only those who had lost their loved ones could still remember the unforgettable pain.
For example, Li Shimin, who is getting thinner and thinner because he misses his wife, not only has his hair turned white, but even his body, which has become rich, has returned to his standard figure, but it is inevitable that the wrinkles on his face have increased a lot.
Probably worried about his father's health, the little son, this intimate little padded jacket, has been a lot less when he came to Shi's house recently, and occasionally came over, and most of them followed Shi Lei and them, learned some nourishing medicinal diets, and went back to make them for her father.
With such a filial daughter taking care of her meticulously, Li Shimin finally slowly walked out of the sadness of losing his wife and picked up the affairs of the court and politics again.
Fortunately, with Ma Zhou, a new batch of important ministers, they can support the affairs of the DPRK and the central government, and when Li Shimin is a little slack, and the older generation of important ministers are already a little lacking in energy, the Tang Dynasty is still running smoothly and orderly.
After Li Shimin returned, the first thing he did was to reward the group of people who had made outstanding contributions in this counterinsurgency.
In the first place, it is naturally Zhang Shigui, who played a decisive role in the counterinsurgency, it was he who led a new force to quickly extinguish the main force of the rebellion, stifled the momentum of the spread, and at the same time tried to ensure that the northern gate of the Tang Dynasty was not lost, and did not give those northern aliens an opportunity to take advantage of this rebellion in the country, and his first merit is undisputed.
And the reward given to him is naturally the most generous, in addition to adding him a false position of a first grade, his title has also been promoted again, becoming one of the top princes, and even Li Shimin, who has been very stingy since he came to power, has added 300 households to him.
In addition, he also rewarded his other sister-in-law with a knighthood, which was definitely a very grand reward, and the Zhang family also completely stepped into the class of super-first-class nobles.
Of course, the other veterans who have always stood firmly on Li Shimin's side also have their own rewards, but they are not as dazzling as Zhang Shigui.
The second in line is Xue Rengui, although he has not been promoted to his position, he is still the commander of the guards of the East Palace, and he probably wants to leave this general to Li Chengqian completely, without too much city favor, but he also gave him an official title.
This is also an extremely rare favor in the past ten years, because after Li Shimin came to power, not only did he rarely add new titles, but he has been committed to reducing the empire's expenditure on titles, or losses, so he definitely looks at Xue Rengui differently.
And Shi Lei's idle days ended helplessly, and he was arranged back to the left prison guard, but this time it will definitely not be the title of Zhonglang General, but will become the general of the guard.
No way, there are too many imperial city guards involved in this rebellion, although they don't delve into the responsibilities of most of the ordinary guards, but those generals who took the lead have not been beheaded.
The treatment of the first offender and the accomplice is naturally different, and the accomplice can be said to be not responsible for the law, there are not many people who take the lead, and Datang has never lacked outstanding generals, and there is no pressure at all to hack them to death. Isn't this a lot of vacant positions, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to be able to promote some outstanding newcomers.
Shi Lei's performance in the rebellion is also remarkable, and being a general, or a transfer at the same level, is still from the position of Sanpin, and he is returning to the left prison guard where he has been for a long time, and he can also play a role in stabilizing people's hearts, no matter from which point of view, it is very suitable.
Among the two people personally excavated by Shi Lei, Xue Rengui's current position is naturally pivotal, and everyone can see that after Li Chengqian ascends the throne, it will be the beginning of his real prosperity.
Then another Xi Junmai, who had just started his position or even higher, naturally did not disappoint Shi Lei. Although he didn't have such a good opportunity as Xue Rengui, he had never moved in the position of the left guard Zhonglang before, but in this rebellion, he also led his soldiers and made a lot of contributions.
It can be said that he and his subordinates are one of the main forces resisting the rebels in the palace, and in this wave of rewards, he will naturally not be left behind, and he was directly mentioned to the most important Xuanwu Gate as a guard, and became the most important gatekeeper of Li Shimin, and his trust in him can also be seen.
After Shi Lei took office, he packed up his helpers, which was really a familiar one, and they used to be colleagues who fought together, and they knew each other well, so Shi Lei took over very quickly, and it didn't take too long to straighten things out in the army.
Just when he thought he could breathe a sigh of relief again, he was called by Li Shimin again, saying that he had something to discuss with him.
This made Shi Lei very nervous, and he didn't know what medicine Li Shimin was selling in his gourd. "Discuss"! With him, a notoriously simple-minded general, what is there that needs to be "discussed"? Shi Lei was completely confused. Accustomed to Li Shimin's style of giving orders directly, he suddenly became so tactful, Shi Lei couldn't accept it.
