Chapter 25: The Court

Time doesn't stop for a moment because of anyone, it passes unconsciously. The next day dawned, and the eldest grandson served Li Erqi to go to court.

After saying goodbye for a moment in front of the mansion, Li Er turned over and got on the horse, clamping the horse's belly with his legs to fix his body. Then he took a deep look at the courtyard behind him, turned and rode away.

Along the way, the generals who left yesterday slowly gathered behind Li Er, which was also his capital to fight against the prince group. The eldest grandson Wuji is the closest to Li Er, the two of them are at the forefront, followed by Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong was reluctant to take this position, but who let him have a brother who can sprinkle!

"If my Second Brother Qin doesn't take this position, then no one will want to leave! Otherwise, ask me if Cheng Biting Jin's horse lance can stab people to death! This is the original words of that fool, in his heart, Li Er is naturally the first, and the eldest grandson Wuji is the brother-in-law of the big boss, so he doesn't dare to say it. But the rest of the people, then they can't walk in front of his second brother Qin, because even the big boss Li Er has to call him second brother Qin in private. So this guy helped to play tricks in order to get into fourth place.

Li Er doesn't care much about these either, because he actually knows very well in his heart which people have what contributions, and which people are actually not so of the same mind as himself. These are all clearly measured in his heart, as for these rankings on the surface or something, so what, and there is no actual impact!

Moreover, Qin Qiong's third place is actually in line with his status, although he only defected from Wang Shichong halfway, but he also proved his strength in that war. That pair of golden maces made it superb, and he must take the lead in every battle, it can be said that Qin Qiong's blood on the battlefield is the most among the many generals under him, and his merits are also in the forefront. It's just that Cheng Yanjin behind him is a fool, and he is very good at it. Although he is also a good hand at marching and fighting, his character makes people very helpless.

Li Er brought his henchmen to the Suzaku Gate, which was the main gate to enter the palace. This time they were called to come, and it was after the triumph of the army, so they must have entered the palace from here. Originally, I was going to go to some Taimiao to eat the celebration banquet set by the ancestors. It is said that there are only four dishes, and they are not yet delicious.

Originally, Li Er also wanted this kind of treatment, but this time although they were victorious, Princess Pingyang's injury covered up all their exploits. In Li Yuan's opinion, although he repelled the 100,000 string controllers who were Tuli, how could he compare to his flesh-and-blood Princess Pingyang? Therefore, Li Er and the others did not reward or punish this time, and Li Yuan reprimanded Li Er fiercely after personally going to the Tai Hospital yesterday to see Li Xiuning's injuries. Then he ordered that the imperial doctor should do his best to treat him, and no matter what method he used, he must be cured. Otherwise, I'll see you yourself.

Li Yuan has always felt guilty about Li Xiuning, because he lost Li Xiuning back then, and then after the Taiyuan incident, he found out that his daughter was still in Daxingcheng, the capital of the Sui Dynasty. This made him feel sorry for this daughter, and later Li Xiuning formed a women's army, and for him Li Yuan's Tang Dynasty to fight in the east and west, a girl made immortal achievements. These made Li Yuan proud and guilty, and over time, the relationship between the father and daughter was very complicated!

At the time of the hour, the palace gate opened on time, which was the time of the previous dynasty. Li Er took the lead in dismounting, handed the horse to the little eunuch who was waiting on the side, and then walked towards the palace gate. A large group of men followed him in stride, and the horses were taken care of.

At the gate of the palace, you must untie your sword. No one in the palace is allowed to wear a sword except for the guards, even if it is the emperor's own son, His Royal Highness the Prince is no exception, which Li Yuan wrote into the "Wude Example".

Coming to the Taiji Palace where Li Yuan was discussing, it was already full of other ministers waiting for the court, and when they saw Li Er coming with a large group of people, everyone's faces were different: some people's faces changed greatly, and the eyes of Li Er and others flashed hostile looks; Some people are very calm, as if they haven't seen Li Er's group; Others were a little excited, and they were very eager to look at the young man walking in the front.

The scene shows the division of forces above the court today: those who are hostile to Li Er must be the people of the prince's family! Some of those neutral are Li Yuan's henchmen, and more are representatives of those big families, such as the Qinghe Cui family, the Fan Yang Lu family, etc. Although the Li clan in Longxi, where Li Er is located, is also a member of the gate valve, this branch only supports Emperor Li Yuan and the future emperor, so it is only idle for Li Er. As for the small part of the rest of the excitement, it was Li Er's supporters, but most of them were not important positions, and most of these people were casual positions.

With the voice of the eunuch: "The court, the minister is here!" "This time the pilgrimage has begun.

Because Li Er was recalled to Beijing, he did not go in with those officials stationed in Beijing, but waited outside the Taiji Palace, waiting for Li Yuan to summon him.

Fortunately, he didn't wait long, and he heard the emperor's shout summoning King Qin, Li Er hurriedly walked into the Taiji Palace, looked straight ahead with his eyes all the way, and came to the center of the main hall to push the golden mountain and fall the jade pillar directly and knelt down: "Son-in-law Li Shimin, meet my father!" Long live the father, long live, long live! ”

I don't know when this three calls long live started, anyway, after Li Tang was established, Xiao followed Cao Gui and used it.

Li Yuan looked at the second son who fell down in the center of the main hall, a ceremonial armor was worn on him, and he even said that his heroism was extraordinary, and the visor of the helmet was removed, and he could clearly see the rough skin on his face that was blown by the wind and sand outside the plug, as well as the short beard that he grew as a father.

"Flat!" Li Yuan said loudly.

"Thank you, Father!" Li Er rose in response.

"I heard that my son repelled 100,000 Tuli people outside the Saiwai, beheaded 10,000 people, and pursued Tuli for 300 miles, which can be described as a great victory! Say what reward you want! Li Yuan said lightly.

When the courtiers heard this, they all frowned: Does the emperor mean to reward or punish King Qin? Said to be rewarded, the cold voice and coercive tone showed that there must be something else hidden in it. If you talk about punishment, but you have to ask King Qin to propose it himself, this is simply ...... It's hard to solve!

Li Er knew that the meat drama was coming, and this was to give up the reward himself, so that Li Yuan could get rid of the notoriety of not rewarding meritorious soldiers, and he could also indirectly let out a bad breath of Li Xiuning's injury. But now in such a situation, Li Er still has to follow Li Yuan's script, because if they don't obey, Li Yuan will reward them first, and then use Li Xiuning's injury to punish them in another way, even more ruthless than if he took the initiative to give up.

"Although Erchen repelled Tuli this time, he couldn't keep him, so he didn't dare to take the credit, I just hope that my father won't cure the child for the crime of ineffective fighting!" Li Er bowed his head to Li Yuan, which was very helpless, because Li Yuan was very scoundrel!

"Very good, not arrogant in victory, not discouraged in defeat! Then step back for now! Li Yuan saw that he had achieved his goal, so he didn't say more.

Li Yuan didn't want to say more, it didn't mean that others were willing to let Li Er go directly, just when Li Er wanted to thank him and leave, a broken gong voice came out: "Father, the son thinks that the second brother is not only useless this time, but has had, so he should be punished!" ”

An ugly man came out of the courtiers, he was wearing a python robe and embroidered with a four-clawed dragon, it was Li Er's third brother, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi.

"Oh! What does Motoyoshi think? Li Yuan asked indifferently, if it was in normal times, Li Yuan would not be able to say or directly say 'I have made up my mind' to go back, but although he had already breathed a sigh of relief today, Li Xiuning's injury did not know if it could be better, which made him unhappy in his heart, so he did not stop Li Yuanji's attack.

"Second brother, this time the enemy is in danger and is in danger. Fortunately, the third sister, Princess Pingyang, came to the rescue, so that she was able to get out of trouble and defeat Tuli. However, Li Xiuning, the princess of Pingyang, was seriously injured and is still being treated in the Tai Hospital, but the wound is inflamed and I don't know if it can be saved! Xiuning rescued it, but if there is any mistake, I can't say that the second brother will give an explanation! Li Yuanji looked at Li Er with a very contemptuous expression. He is not a person who has never seen the world, and he knows that there is no other way for the wound to become inflamed except to cut off the affected area, but as far as he knows, Li Xiuning's wound is below the collarbone, above the chest, and penetrates the wound from front to back. Such a wound cannot be removed. This almost doomed Li Xiuning to be hopeless, so he wanted to take the opportunity to trap Li Eryi.

"This is natural! Not only does the third brother care about Xiuning, Xiuning was injured this time because of the Lone King, so the Lone King will definitely give an explanation! This is not bothered by the third brother! Li Er replied without idleness, although he wanted to go away directly, but he couldn't do so.

"So, I don't know what the second brother will use to explain? You must know that the third sister even gave up her life for you! When the time comes, if there is any accident, you will not only have to explain to your father, but also Chai Shao's brother-in-law, the eldest brother of the prince, and the younger brother, I will have to explain to the second brother! Li Yuanji enjoyed this feeling of suppressing Li Er, he had never won against Li Er since he was a child, and he had been growing up in his shadow, which caused him to be psychologically deformed. For him, an excellent second brother, Li Yuanji has a hatred that itches his teeth!

"If the third sister really has any accidents, then Brother Wei will personally go to Saiwai to retrieve Tuli's head and pay tribute to her. As for the father, there is his own father's decision. Chai Shao's brother-in-law and our Chai Lingwu's nephew King Gu will also be arranged, as for you and the prince, what do you want to explain, King Gu will take it! Li Er stood in the center of the Taiji Hall, facing Li Yuanji's attack, not panicked at all, and even had a feeling of ignorance.

This feeling was only felt by Li Yuanji, who was standing face to face with him, which made him very mad, and he couldn't wait to tear the person in front of him in half directly!
