After Ge Shuhan saw Li Ang in Weizhou, he hurried and finally arrived in Chang'an. At this time, Wang Zhonghe, who was sentenced to death, had already spent more than a month in prison.

Ge Shuhan took the Tuyuhun prince Kaqin who had just joined the Tang Dynasty and many minority tribal leaders into Beijing to worship, which caused a sensation again, and the imperial court held a grand welcome ceremony in order to show the prestige of the **** kingdom.

After the pilgrimage, Li Longji met Ge Shuhan alone in the Yanying Palace.

Not long ago, Li Longji just met Li Ang here, and compared with Li Ang, who was not yet the champion and was heroic, Li Longji felt that Ge Shuhan, who was over forty years old, was a little more mature and more stable.

After Ge Shuhan stepped forward to pay his respects, Li Longji saw that he was burly and full of vigor in his actions, and said with great satisfaction: "Ge Shuhan, you are a rare good general who will regain the land of the Yellow River for my Tang Dynasty, and I will definitely reward you well." ”

Ge Shuhan was flattered and said: "Loved by His Majesty, the minister can only bow down and die, in order to repay His Majesty's grace." ”

"It's good, it's good, but it's good to be like this. Those who have made meritorious contributions to the country, I will not be stingy with rewards. Ge Shuhan, Tubo has become the first major disaster of my Tang Dynasty, and I have the heart to never suffer from it in the future, so as to ensure the peace of my Tang Dynasty, what good strategies do you have for me? ”

Li Longji also discussed this issue with Li Ang, and it was after Li Ang gave him advice that Li Longji saw the hope of pacifying Tibet, and dared to have the heart to never suffer in the future.

In this regard, Ge Shuhan seemed to have been prepared, and he immediately said eloquently: "Your Majesty, Tubo is located on the plateau, and it is difficult for my Tang Dynasty soldiers to adapt to the plateau climate, and it is extremely difficult to attack on their backs, and it is difficult to guarantee the logistics and transportation of the army alone. Therefore, in order to pacify Tibet, the only way to calm Tibet is to slowly weaken it, divide it, and make the whole Tibet form a plate of scattered sand, and only in this way can we divide and control it, and achieve the goal of finally pacifying Tibet. ”

Although the plan proposed by Ge Shuhan is not as detailed as Li Ang, the general direction is the same, Li Longji lightly bowed his head, and asked Ge Shuhan many military strategies, and Ge Shuhan can answer them fluently.

Li Longji was very satisfied, and said to Ge Shuhan: "Ge Shuhan, you are old and serious, proficient in military strategy, and can fight and dare to fight, I intend to appoint you as the ambassador of Longyou Jiedu, and cooperate closely with Li Ang to pacify Tubo for me, Ge Shuhan, do you dare to take over this burden?" ”

"Although the minister does not dare to say that he will be able to pacify Tibet, His Majesty trusts the minister, and the minister will go all out and die."

"Good! You and Li Ang are both rare talents, and I use you to join forces to deal with Tibet, and I hope that you can unite sincerely and cooperate seamlessly, and live up to my expectations. ”

Seeing that the emperor intended to end the meeting, Ge Shuhan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, on the candidate for pacifying Tibet, the minister thinks that no one is more suitable for Ambassador Wang, your Majesty, for so many years, Ambassador Wang has been loyal to Your Majesty, and has made countless military exploits, Your Majesty wants to complete the great ambition of pacifying Tibet, why not spare Ambassador Wang from death, and order him to return to Longyou, the minister believes that Ambassador Wang is the most suitable person to fulfill His Majesty's ambition, Your Majesty, Ambassador Wang is wronged, and I hope that Your Majesty can pardon Ambassador Wang's crimes." ”

Speaking of Wang Zhonghei, Li Longji couldn't help but snort coldly, turned around and walked out of the hall.

Ge Shuhan knelt down with a thud, and then knelt down and followed behind Li Longji, with generous words and tears on his face: "Your Majesty, Ambassador Wang has been wronged!" Your Majesty! When Ambassador Wang was in Longyou, he often exhorted his ministers to be loyal to His Majesty, loyal to the Tang Dynasty, not to waste the money and grain of the imperial court, and not to live up to His Majesty's grace. Your Majesty! Ambassador Wang is wronged! If Your Majesty wants to kill Ambassador Wang, I am willing to die on behalf of Ambassador Wang......"

Ge Shuhan knelt and chased after him, constantly kowtowing his head hard, knocking his forehead bloody, which was shocking to see.

When Li Longji saw the scene, he felt that he was sincere, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

In fact, it has been more than a month since Wang Zhonghe's conviction, and under the attack of Li Linfu's faction, he still has not made up his mind to abolish the crown prince Li Heng's position as prince. This in itself shows that there is hesitation in his heart.

Ge Shuhan kowtowed like this, and was willing to exchange his life's honor and disgrace for the life of Wang Zhonghei, which on the one hand moved Li Longji a lot; On the other hand, he had killed three of his own sons and a son-in-law, and as he got older, his remorse grew. So I don't want to repeat the same thing. If he had been tempered when he was young, Li Heng would have been abolished long ago. Maybe even the graves are covered with grass.

Li Longji asked the imperial doctor to call the imperial doctor, bandaged the wound on Ge Shuhan's forehead, and then said to him: "Ge Shuhan, you are my good general, get up first, I have understood the injustice of Wang Zhonghe, and I will deal with it properly." ”

Although the emperor did not give a clear answer, his words are already commendable. Ge Shuhan gratefully bowed and said, "Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming, long live, long live, long live!" ”

After Ge Shuhan left the Yanying Palace, Li Longji quickly issued an order to pardon Wang Zhonghe's capital crime, but the capital crime could be avoided, and the living crime could not be escaped. Wang Zhongsi was still demoted from a high position with the handsome seal of the Four Towns Festival to the Taishou of Hanyang.

After Li Linfu heard the news, his heart suddenly cooled half, on the surface, the emperor was moved by Ge Shuhan's intercession and was moved by Ge Shuhan's righteousness, so he pardoned Wang Zhonghei's capital crime, but Li Linfu knew in his heart that it was actually not as simple as it seemed.

The emperor was actually hesitant to abolish the crown prince, and the so-called "being moved by Ge Shuhan" was just a power trick played by the emperor, which had several advantages. First, it can reduce its own pressure and divert the spearhead; Second, Ge Shuhan can be allowed to owe a favor, and in the future, if the emperor has a life, Ge Shuhan will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire; third, it can give the government and the opposition an image of the emperor who is good at admonishment; Fourth, this is a good propaganda drama on the theme of loyalty.

"Why? How so! Li Linfu, who realized that he had failed again, looked up to the sky and was stunned. At the same time, I was very unwilling.

After this incident, Li Linfu believed in Gongsun Jin's words even more, and he must give the emperor a better choice.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has never been the eldest son who succeeded to the throne, and in the brutal palace struggles, it was finally the capable person who took the throne.

For example, Li Shimin, the king of Qin back then, although he was not the eldest son, but because of his outstanding military exploits and deep popularity, in the end, whether active or passive, it would inevitably lead to such a thing as the Xuanwumen Change.

Li Linfu felt that now it seemed that only by raising up another "Qin King Li Shimin" was the best way to deal with Li Heng.

Throughout all the princes and grandchildren, most of them are too squeamish because they have lived a luxurious life since childhood. Only the "wild breed" of Li Ang has the potential to become the "King of Qin".

In order to achieve this goal as soon as possible, the next day, Li Linfu immediately mobilized his officials to ask for the promotion of Li Ang to the ambassador of Longyou Jiedu and the deputy ambassador of Longyou Jiedu Zhidu Yingtian.

There were many officials in the above table, and Li Longji had to summon Li Linfu, **** Lie and other prime ministers to ask for opinions. For this matter, Li Longji took time out of his "busy schedule" to meet with several ministers in the inner hall, Zichen Hall. ，

As soon as everyone sat down, Li Longji said: "There are many ministers in the DPRK and the central government, who think that Li Ang can often win by surprise, and his military exploits are impressive, and he should be promoted to the ambassador of Longyou Jiedu and the deputy ambassador of Longyou Jiedu Zhidu Yingtian. What do you think about this? ”

Everyone else knew what Li Linfu meant, so some people kept silent, and some people agreed that Li Ang should be appointed as the ambassador of Longyou Jiedu.

In the end, Li Longji asked Li Linfu: "Right Minister, what do you think?" ”

Li Linfu knew that Li Longji was willing to let Ge Shuhan take over the post of Longyou University, so he muttered: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there are currently two people who are more suitable to take over the post of ambassador of Longyou Jiedu. One of them, Goshuhan. Second, Li Ang.

These two people have performed very well in the recent wars with Tubo in Longyou, recaptured the stone fort for my Tang Dynasty, and recaptured the land of Jiuqu of the Yellow River, which can be described as two bright generals of my Tang Dynasty.

In terms of age and experience, Li Ang is less than 20 years old, while Ge Shuhan is in his 40s, which seems to be more old, and it seems more suitable for Ge Shuhan to be the ambassador of Jiedu.

However, the minister pondered it carefully, and felt that this matter could not just be seen on the surface, whether a person is old and serious or not has little to do with age, but what kind of tempering he has experienced?

In contrast, when Ge Shuhan was nearly fourteen years old, he still spent all day drinking and drinking in the green buildings in the market, doing nothing, and only in the past few years after his father's death did he decide to join the army.

Li Ang is different, he has no parents since he was a child, he is carried around by his teacher, and sometimes even has to beg for a living. Perhaps, because of this, in Chen's opinion, Li Ang has a maturity and stability beyond his age. ”

Li Longji saw Li Ang and felt that Li Ang did have a maturity beyond his age, and Li Linfu mentioned this, which couldn't help but resonate with him, and couldn't help but nod.

Li Linfu continued: "If you talk about military exploits, at first glance Ge Shuhan and Li Ang are similar, but in fact, they are not the same, Ge Shuhan led the army to recover the land of the Yellow River Jiuqu, which is actually the result of the victory of Shibao.

Because of the victory of Shibao, Tuyuhun was subdued, and because Tuyuhun defected, Geshuhan was able to easily recover the Jiuqu of the Yellow River. In fact, it was Leon who planted the tree first, and Geshuhan picked the fruit later.

Li Ang broke through the ambush of the city, captured the Mangbu Branch, and forced Dazarugon's 50,000-strong army to abandon a large number of baggage and retreat in a hurry. Li Ang fought against Hechuan and captured him, shot and killed the prince of Tubo, annihilated countless enemies, and taught the Tubo people and horses who came to plunder and never returned.

Li Ang's surprise attack on Shibao suddenly turned the tide with 500 elite cavalry when our 50,000 troops were defeated and retreated, changing the outcome of the entire Shibao Battle, and even changing the national fortunes of our Tang Dynasty and Tubo. Therefore, in terms of merit, Ge Shuhan's merit is not comparable to that of Leon.........."
