Chapter 66
Above the court, this Cheng was silent and bit Jin's foul words, and everyone couldn't help but laugh and look away.
Li Er sat on the dragon chair, looked at Cheng Chumo who was stunned, laughed instead of being angry, pointed at Cheng Chumo for a long time and didn't know what to say, and moved a few times with his mouth open.
After a while, Li Er smiled sullenly, pointed at Cheng Chumo and said, "Bastard boy, get up!" It's none of your business, let's get out! ”
Cheng Chumo was laughed inexplicably, but he didn't need to kneel, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Standing up and rubbing his knees, he was gray and slippery, and he went out for some reason.
Li Er looked at the courtiers standing below, and knew that the scale of today's group fight was not small, and said, "Love, tell me what to do now?" Surrender to the Turks again? ”
The people sitting here are all the old courtiers who Li Erda won the throne, brothers, the handle has been closed outside, at this moment, there is nothing to say.
Duan Zhixuan, the general of Li Er, who became "Zhou Yafu", said: "It's all because Weichen is not strict in governing the family and disinforcing discipline, so he will recognize that he made a mistake today, and ask the emperor to punish him."
Those gentlemen have caused trouble outside, if it was before, everyone would hide and cover it, and dare not admit it; But now I gradually understand that the stakes are very high, in case of concealment, it is not a good meal that can be ended, if you miss a big event, you will have to shed your skin if you don't die, and go home and tell it honestly.
Fang Xuanling's head was opened, Fang Xuanling was very distressed, and the old wife of the family cried to death, but the stakes were so high that he had to stand up and plead guilty, saying: "The children in the family are bastards, please punish!" ”
Everyone Fang Xuanling and Duan Zhixuan all said so, and they also pleaded guilty.
On the contrary, the eldest grandson Wuji closed his eyes, calm and relaxed, and did not feel that the eldest grandson Chong was also one of them.
Not only Li Er was surprised, but everyone was also very curious, eldest grandson Wuji, your frame is so big, you feel proud of your son's poetry, but your son got into trouble in a fight, do you also feel proud?
Li Er couldn't help but asked, "Uncle, what do you say should be done now?"
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled proudly and said, "It's very simple, just plan it!" ”
Li Jing raised his eyelids and glanced at it, the eldest grandson Wuji, pondered it carefully, and figured out the deep meaning, with a vague smile on the corner of his mouth, this must not be what the eldest grandson Wuji thought of himself, his military vision is not so high, it must be the fat son of his family who thinks about it.
"Will it be calculated?" Li Er touched the well-trimmed mustache on his mouth, and faintly felt a little understood.
"Yes, Your Majesty, last time our ministers had already decided to use troops against the Turks next year, but we took advantage of today's incident to sincerely apologize to the Turks and make them think that it is impossible for us to use troops on a large scale in the next few years! In this way, we will be able to attack the Turks next year by surprise and unprepared! ”
Cheng gritted his teeth and scolded: "It's not that I want to apologize to the Turks!" Boring! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward and said: "Brother Cheng, this is a bad word, last year we were not allowed to negotiate with them, now it is different, although there are disasters, but we have relieved our anger, even if the Turks insist on fighting, we are not afraid, but we are not well prepared, and when the time comes, we will destroy the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800, which is not cost-effective; If, on the other hand, we paralyze the Turks, our chances of victory next year will be much greater, and our losses will be much smaller. ”
Li Er nodded and said, "Aiqing makes a lot of sense!" Ming said that he invited the Turkic envoy Rakuban into the palace, and I wanted to reward him more, and by the way, pat his ass and let them relax their vigilance. ”
For the Turkic use of troops, from the perspective of national righteousness, Xiao Yu supported 1,000 and 10,000; From a personal point of view, he is unwilling, because Yang Zhengdao, the grandson of Yang Guang of the former Sui Dynasty, and his sister Empress Xiao are still in Turkic, once the war starts, he doesn't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse.
Li Er saw Xiao Yu's expression gloomy, he trusted that Xiao Yu would not betray him, but it was necessary for him to remind Xiao Yu and said, "Xiao Aiqing, the stakes are very high, don't divulge secrets!" ”
Xiao Yu came out of the ranks, knelt down and prostrate on the ground, and said: "Wechen knows the severity, but I just think of my poor sister for the rest of her life, and she can't return to her roots when she is old, and Wechen's heart is like a knife." ”
Empress Xiao? That's really a standard beauty, with towering clouds, foggy sideburns, a face like a peony, beautiful eyes, a waist like a willow, and a thousand demeanors. Just thinking about it like this, Li Er's heart and body are rippling, just like the beautiful Empress Xiao of heaven and earth, naturally she can't be left behind, if she has the opportunity, she will take it back, it will be regarded as a grace to the old courtier Xiao Yu, and it will also fulfill a thought of his own youth.
People who are familiar with Li Er have noticed Li Er's strangeness, but as the emperor's three palaces and six courts, seventy-two concubines, Li Er's concubines are rare, everyone is a man, and everyone knows what's going on.
Xiao Yu naturally didn't leave Li Er's expression behind, but he couldn't care so much, as long as he could get his sister back and his sister and brother together, it would be better than anything else
"Xiao Aiqing, do you know that Yang Zhengdao has established the "Great Sui" in the Turks at this time, and Empress Xiao has become the concubine of the Turks. The Turks are the old enemies of my Central Plains, whether it is the Tang Dynasty or the Great Sui, you know better than me. But now they are helping the Turks to deal with us Han Chinese, often violating the border, burning, killing and looting, how can you let me let them go? Li Er said sadly and angrily, he is open-minded, Concubine Yang is the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui, and now she is not one of the four concubines? Xiao Yu is the brother-in-law of Emperor Yang of Sui, the younger brother of Empress Xiao, and is still not very trusted and reused?
If Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao were willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, he would never kill people who did not pose a threat to him, but their arrival would show his humility and generosity.
Xiao Yu trembled and took out a letter from the innermost layer of her clothes, presented it with both hands, and said: "Wechen really missed my sister before, so I wrote a letter to say hello, Lord Tuotang brought it to my sister, and Wechen has already received the letter from my sister." ”
Li Er was not much surprised when he heard Xiao Yu's letter, because before Tang Jian went to Turkic last year, he had already told him everything, even if Tang Jian had a good relationship with Xiao Yu, he didn't dare to pass the letter privately, and if he was not careful, that is, he collaborated with the enemy and rebelled, which was the biggest crime.
"Zhou He, you take it, open it and show me!" Li Er ordered Zhou He to take it and open it for him to see.
There are only a few lines on it, full of longing for his hometown and wanting to return to his hometown as soon as possible.
"This is Xiao Shi wants to come back, what about Yang Zhengdao?" Li Er had no expression, when Xiao fled to the Turks and became the princess of the Turks, and Yang Zhengdao was named the "King of Sui", he was not sure if there was any fraud in it.
"The political road is still small, and he doesn't understand the world, although he was named the king of Sui by the Turks, but a few people are looking at him, so my sister wants to come back and doesn't want to wander outside." Xiao Yu replied that she believed that her sister really wanted to come back.
"But Xiao Aiqing, last year, the Jieli army came outside Chang'an City, and everyone knows very well what role Princess Yicheng plays in it. As long as Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao will not turn against each other during our eastward crusade against the Turks, I will exempt them from capital punishment and receive them to Chang'an. Li Er said in a deep voice, "As for you becoming a princess, I can't guarantee it." ”
With Princess Yicheng's actions before, she is destined to never come back for the rest of her life.
With Li Er's words, at least my sister will not die in the Turks, Xiao Yu is very grateful, he knows that this is already His Majesty's biggest concession. He also saw from this incident that the emperor's trust in him was not because he wrote a letter to his sister privately, but he was very glad that he stood on the side of the current emperor back then, so that he would have the stability he has today. At his age, power is no longer the first, and it is his greatest wish to regret it in his lifetime.
