Chapter 146: Mulan (4)
"General Li, you and General Wei Lang have known each other for a long time, and then they have made a private agreement for life?" Empress Eldest Sun asked in surprise.
Li Junxian nodded and admitted the matter. And Mulan's face was extremely blushing, and she couldn't speak. And when Li Shimin and Empress Changsun saw this, they also thought that they had known each other for a long time, so it was not a strange thing for them to make a private decision for life.
"Jun Xian, since you and General Wei Lang have already made a private agreement for life, then the reason why you want to come and ask for a reward for General Wei Lang is also selfish?" Li Shimin asked.
Li Junxian replied lightly: "Your Majesty, since Mulan is my future woman, then of course I have to fight for her reward." However, the minister hoped that the emperor would be rewarded according to his military merits, rather than rewarding his orders. At the beginning, Princess Pingyang was able to be buried with military salutes, but since Mulan has been in the army for nine years, why can't she be rewarded according to military merits? ”
"Your Majesty, although Wei Lang will be a woman, he has also made meritorious contributions to my Tang Dynasty, and he should accept the reward as a soldier. If the emperor doesn't reward him, what will the soldiers of the world think? "Empress Eldest Sun also began to blow the pillow wind.
Although Empress Changsun does not interfere in politics easily, once she wants to say something, Li Shimin will most likely obey. Li Shimin is now also a little confused by Li Junxian and Empress Changsun, and he doesn't even care about Mulan's crime of bullying the king. Now Mulan is now rewarded, so that Mulan's military exploits can be commended.
"That's good, add Wei Mulan as the duke of Yucheng County. This is the first precedent for a woman to be knighted with military merits, even the princess of Pingyang back then did not have this qualification, but she didn't expect it to appear in my hands. Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh.
"Thank you for Mulan, Your Majesty." Li Junxian hurriedly thanked.
In fact, Li Junxian also knew that this county prince was relatively tall, and it was thicker than Mulan's military exploits. However, the reason why it is so generously rewarded is that I am afraid that Li Shimin also has a role of Li Mulan as an example. Because as Li Junxian said, a woman in Mulan can go into battle to kill the enemy, and finally became a general and was knighted. And this situation is enough to make countless men rush to shame. Li Shimin just hoped to use Mulan's situation to stimulate them, so that they could work hard and serve the imperial court.
At this time, Mulan also knew that her biggest difficulty had finally passed. Since he and Li Shimin have clarified their identity as a woman, and Li Shimin has not cared about it, this matter has been revealed. And Mulan's so-called crime of bullying the king, then there is no need to be punished, and there is no need to worry about affecting the family.
"Your Majesty, the minister hopes that Mulan can continue to serve in the Yulin Army, that is, to be able to retain Mulan's position as a general." Li Junxian said.
"Still in the military?" Li Shimin was a little embarrassed.
Li Junxian saw Li Shimin's embarrassment and continued: "Your Majesty, what did Mulan do, and you want to revoke his military position?" Back then, Princess Pingyang was able to lead tens of thousands of troops to fight for my Tang Dynasty, so Mulan is only leading a few hundred people at present, so what's the matter? A dignified princess can do this, not to mention that Mulan is just a general? ”
"Your Majesty, let Wei Lang continue to serve! Anyway, with Wei Lang in general, it can inspire many soldiers of the Yulin Army to work hard to serve the country. Empress Eldest Sun said.
"Okay, Wei Lang will continue to serve as the general of the Yulin Army, but I hope that Wei Lang will be able to disclose the identity of the woman so as to avoid misunderstandings." Li Shimin said.
"Okay!" Li Junxian replied.
"Jun Xian, do you have anything else?" Li Junxian asked.
"The minister is fine, the minister is retired!" Li Junxian immediately pulled Mulan and left.
Out of the palace, Mulan still asked with a shy face: "General Li, why did you say just now that we had a private agreement for life?" ”
"Mulan, I'm saving you!" Li Junxian said.
"Help me?" Mulan was a little puzzled.
"If you admit your identity, what if the emperor wants you to enter the palace as a concubine?" Li Junxian asked.
"If it's a concubine? The emperor wouldn't do such a thing, would he? I'm his courtier, after all! Mulan asked incredulously.
"Hmph, sometimes the emperor doesn't have a festival." Li Junxian complained.
Mulan immediately pretended to be stupid, as if she didn't hear Li Junxian scolding Li Shimin for not being frugal.
However, Li Junxian has read the information of later generations, and of course he knows the final result of "General Xiaoyeol". The Tang Dynasty posthumously awarded Mulan as General Xiaolie, but there is a record of General Xiaolie's deeds. According to records, after Mulan returned to her hometown, she revealed the identity of the woman, much to the surprise of the emperor at the time. And the emperor at that time summoned Mulan into the palace, and then hoped that she would be the emperor's woman. But Mulan didn't agree and chose to commit suicide.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Li Junxian, but now that he knows who Mulan is, and the current emperor is Li Shimin, does it need to be said who is the emperor who forced Mulan to death? I am afraid that in the original history, it was Li Shimin who forced Mulan to death, completely because Li Shimin wanted Mulan to enter the palace. And the reason why Li Junxian said that he had made a private agreement with Mulan for life was that he hoped that Li Shimin would not have this bad idea, otherwise Mulan would probably have to die.
And just now, since Li Junxian said in front of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun that Mulan is his own woman, Li Shimin will definitely not have a chance to accept Mulan. Because since Empress Changsun knows that Mulan is "master", even if Li Shimin has any bad ideas, Empress Changsun will oppose it. Although Empress Eldest Sun will not oppose Li Shimin's concubine, if the other party is "master", she will still resolutely oppose it.
Empress Changsun is Li Shimin's most important woman, and Li Shimin will not hurt Empress Changsun for a Mulan, so Mulan is safe. However, Li Junxian and Mulan are going to be boyfriend and girlfriend for a while.
"Mulan, you'll still dress up as a woman in the future. You've been wearing men's armor for so many years, I'm afraid it's not very comfortable, right? Li Junxian said.
"But, I don't have the armor that women wear in my Datang!" Mulan said helplessly.
"It doesn't matter, I can design it for you." Li Junxian patted his chest and said.
Li Junxian has seen a lot of very cool women's armor in later generations, which is called a beautiful one. In fact, Li Junxian is still selfish, because once Mulan passes on the women's armor, it will be the legendary female general. Especially the kind of beauty in armor, the attraction brought by ordinary people is not comparable to ordinary people. Why do many men in later generations like beautiful policemen, and what other beautiful officers and nurses are, this is the truth.
