Hanyuan Palace, the palace where major ceremonies were held in the Tang Dynasty. These major ceremonies include the enthronement of the new emperor, the great court meeting, the triumphal celebration, the congratulations of the various countries, and so on.

In the main hall, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin sat on the main throne wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and Li Jing, the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Tang Dynasty and the general of the auxiliary state, sat on the most prominent position closest to the main seat. Prince Chengqian, King Li Ke of Shu, King Li Xuan of Yong'an, Xuanling, the left servant of the Tang Dynasty Shangshu, Xiao Yu, the secretary and supervisor, Liu Xun of the service, Cui Gan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Chengqing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Sun Wuji, the middle chief of the Ministry of Wenxuan, and Lang Zhongcen Wenwen of the Ministry of Officials and the Examination Company of the Ministry of Officials sat on both sides of the head of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin and the auxiliary general Li Jing.

Li Shimin raised his wine glass and said to Li Jing: "General, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Ling rode 50,000 Huns without yielding to the Huns, and he still had the name of the book Bamboo Silk; With 50,000 iron cavalry, the general went deep into the hinterland of the Turks, broke through the tent of the Turkic Jieli Khan in Dingxiang in one fell swoop, captured the Turkic Jieli Khan, and shocked the Turks, unprecedented in ancient and modern times. On behalf of my Tang court, I would like to thank the general for the people of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Jing looked preoccupied, picked up his wine glass and said to Tang Emperor Li Shimin: "Your Majesty praises, ministers, ministers"

Li Shimin immediately guessed Li Jing's thoughts, and said, "Why is the general still thinking about the fact that Wei Zheng in front of the Taiji Palace participated in the general's performance just now?" Wei Zheng, you know, is a good minister, but this temperament is too old-fashioned and stubborn. Today, I lead the ministers to celebrate the general's achievements, and I don't want to do those things that are unreasonable and hurt the scenery. ”

Li Jingyi arched his hand and said to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the matter of Wei Zhengwei's participation in the concert just now is really true, lying about the military situation. The minister is also to blame, the minister did something wrong, the minister implores His Majesty to remove the reward for the minister, strip the minister of his official position, and let the minister go home to be a commoner. ”

Li Shimin said with a displeased face: "General, why don't you still have to be angry with me?" ”

Li Jing hurriedly said with sincere fear: "Return to Your Majesty, the minister does not dare." How capable the minister is, the minister knows it in his heart. When the minister learned that His Majesty wanted to add a vassal to the right servant of the Tang Dynasty Shangshu and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the minister had the heart to resign, but the minister was afraid that His Majesty and the court would misunderstand. That's why I had to accept such a seal. But today, in front of His Majesty, the minister can't help but tell the truth. The minister is not that piece of material, the minister was born in a horse, only knows how to do military, His Majesty kindly included the minister in the right servant of the Tang Dynasty Shangshu and the high position of the Tang Dynasty Zaifu, the minister is worried that the minister's corpse is a vegetarian meal, misleading the country and the people. Besides, if the minister does something wrong, His Majesty should punish him severely, not seal it, and so on. It's going to mess up my Tang Dynasty court. ”

Li Shimin stood up slowly, personally poured Li Jing full of wine, and said with emotion: "General, birds and beasts still spare their lives. What's more, it's a person, the general was in that kind of situation at that time, that kind of situation, don't say that the general would be afraid. Even if it were me, I would be afraid. I know that the General is afraid of me, and the General does not think that he is my henchman. At many critical moments, he did not follow me, and stood firmly behind me. But I know that the general is a loyal and righteous person, never do anything rebellious, in the last years of the former Sui, the former Sui country was shaky, and it could overturn at any time, and the general was unwilling to betray the former Sui and follow the emperor; During the Xuanwumen Change, the general did not help me, but you did not harm me, and the general also kept the secret for me to ensure the success of the Xuanwumen Change. For the loyalty of the general, I have always trusted.

Besides, the official position of the general is also the reward that the general deserves. With the general's military exploits, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces were convinced that the general was the right servant of the Tang Dynasty Shangshu and the secretary of the Criminal Department, and they thought that the general deserved it.

As for the general who feels that he is not suitable, I think that this governance of the country and the army seems to be very surprising, but in fact, the law is not reasonable, I am the commander of the army, and I have become the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty who governs the country, since I can do it, I believe that the general can also do a good job of the gorgeous transformation from the commander of the army to the commander of the Tang Dynasty. ”

After that, Li Shimin held Li Jing tightly and said: "General, for more than ten years, I and you have been fighting in the east and west, how many cities have been destroyed by you and my hands, in the face of this devastated mountains and rivers, I often have a heart full of guilt, I believe that the general is the same." I believe that as long as we all have this kind of guilt, the general will definitely do his best to do a good job in the official position of the right servant of the Tang Dynasty Shangshu and the secretary of the Criminal Department, and assist me in managing the mountains and rivers of my Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Jing looked at the Tang Emperor Li Shimin thoughtfully.

From the Tang Emperor Li Shimin sent his second sons, Li Tai, the king of Wei, and Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, to the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army under his control as hostages, and took the initiative to resolve the misunderstanding between him and himself, to the outside of Chang'an City, Li Shimin personally went to meet him, and then to today he has been trying his best to protect himself and celebrate his achievements, Li Jing's heart is warm. He saw the magnanimity of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin and his sincere respect for himself. His originally heavy mood suddenly became much lighter, and his heart brightened. He nodded to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin and said, "Then the minister will listen to Your Majesty, and be the right servant of the Tang Dynasty Shangshu and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department." ”

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the wine glass that Li Shimin had just poured for him in front of him, and a strong aroma of wine came to his nose, and Li Jing couldn't help but praise: "This Chang'an wine is good!" ”

Tang Emperor Li Shimin smiled, also picked up the wine glass, the two drank the wine in the cup, the knot between the two was solved, and the atmosphere in the Hanyuan Hall suddenly became lively.

On the second day, Li Jing began to diligently serve as his right servant of Shangshu and the secretary of the criminal department in Shangshu Province, and the 400,000 Northern Expeditionary Army in the clouds was also withdrawn one after another by the edict of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin. As a hostage, Li Tai, the king of Wei, who made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, was personally received and praised by the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

Since then, this matter that can threaten the stability of the Tang Dynasty because of the fear and distrust of Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Jing, the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army and the general of the auxiliary country, has finally come to an end, and the dust has settled.
