Li Yuanba continued to smile, his smile was still bright, and he said: "Lord Eldest Sun, before my Tang Dynasty was established, I don't know where Lord Eldest Sun is?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "No, no official and no position, it's just a staff member on His Majesty's side!" ”

Li Yuan said domineeringly: "Then dare to ask Lord Changsun, why after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, you were promoted to the secretary of the Ministry with a white body, and even the title was sealed to the founding duke, you can sue the king, why are you?" ”

Why!

In three very simple words, Li Yuanba did not justify his merits, but asked such a sharp question.

Even if Lao Tzu's exploits are invalidated, then how did your official position and title come about? Isn't it the blood of tens of millions of soldiers?

Well, even if it wasn't for the blood of tens of millions of soldiers, how did it come about?

Why did you give you a national prince, and why did you make a secretary of the ministry? Why?

The eldest grandson Wuji's face was ugly, as uncomfortable as eating stool.

If he now says that his official position and title were not bought by tens of millions of soldiers with blood, then he completely denies the merits of many military generals, such as Li Jing, Li Ji, Cheng Yanjin and others.

But if he said that his official position and title were obtained in this way, then wouldn't it be if he said before that Li Yuanba would give up his merits?

That's self-inflicted humiliation!

So now the eldest grandson Wuji has nothing to say, because he doesn't know how to answer!

And hearing what Li Yuanba said, all the people in the court opened their mouths in surprise, and then they were all dumbfounded.

When, the fourth son of the Li family in Taiyuan, whose name spread all over the Great Sui back then, turned so fast, and the words became so sharp?

The fourth prince of the year had already made the ministers afraid like jackals and tigers and leopards, and now they have become so sharp. Then you can't mess with it!

"What? Doesn't Lord Eldest Sun know how to answer this king? Li Yuanba said with a smile, a mouthful of white teeth flickering under the bright candlelight in the main hall.

The eldest grandson Wuji stared at Li Yuanba with a grim look in his eyes, and suddenly took two steps back, and actually returned to the court.

At this time, Fang Xuanling stood up and became a peacemaker, and said with a smile: "What did the prince say, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military, whose official title was not exchanged for the blood of my Tang Dynasty soldiers?" Isn't it pointless to argue about that now? ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Du Ruhui said: "Right now. It has been less than 20 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, except for a few adults, all the rest rely on the status of military achievements to this day. The eldest grandson has a good livelihood in my Tang Society, and he has never been slacking off for so many years, and he is too cautious today, so why should the prince be more serious? ”

"Hahaha, this king doesn't mean to blame Lord Changsun!" Li Yuanba laughed out loud and continued:

"It's just that this king thought that General Niu led a lone army of 10,000 Zuo Xiao guards to go deep into the Tubo garrison, and there was news back at the beginning. But now it is snowing heavily, and there has been no news for several days, and the good luck is uncertain. If he can't get the news of General Niu, how can this king accept the reward from the imperial court with peace of mind? ”

Li Yuanba's voice just fell. The entire court fell silent.

Yes, Niu Jinda's information has disappeared for at least four days, and they have gone deep into the hinterland of Tibet, not knowing whether they are alive or dead.

If it is a big victory in the end. Naturally, everyone is happy; But if Niu Jinda is defeated and returned, or the whole army is annihilated, then. Li Shimin's previous reward will be in stark contrast to the current situation where the army of 10,000 is gone.

Isn't this situation just slapping him Li Yuanba's face and Li Shimin's face?

The ministers obviously didn't think of this before, but now that they think about it, they are all a little afraid.

Li Shimin also fell silent, he didn't know the news, but he believed in Niu Jinda's ability, or he deliberately didn't think about it, after all, Niu Jinda was also an old man by his side, so he didn't want Niu Jinda to have an accident.

Just as the hall fell silent, a janissary in black armor hurried in, shouting as he ran:

"Good news, 800 miles expedited, Shuozhou City good news......"

"Shuozhou City Success!"

Li Shimin turned around suddenly, stared at the panting black-armored guard, and said, "Shuozhou City? It's good news, read it quickly! ”

"No!"

The guards didn't expect the emperor Lao Tzu to stand under His Royal Highness, and after being slightly shocked, he opened a vermilion fold and read it aloud:

"Report to His Majesty Shengming: Today, there is General Zuo Xiaowei, the pioneer of the Shuozhou Road march, Niu Jinda, who led Zuo Xiaowei 10,000 elite cavalry deep into the hinterland of Tubo, exterminated dozens of large and small tribes under the command of Tubo, annihilated more than 80,000 Tubo thieves, and captured more than 1,000 Tubo Zampu Songtsan Gampo relatives and more than 1,000 nobles of various tribes......"

"However, it is a pity that Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo fled in a hurry under the cover of tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, and he was never captured! Now Niu Jinda has led the army back to Shuozhou, and after the whole army is completed, he will pull out the camp and return to Chang'an! ”

"Good!"

As soon as the guard's words fell, Li Shimin clapped his palms and shouted loudly, really saying that Cao Cao Cao had arrived, and he had just mentioned Niu Jinda, and the good news from Shuozhou City came immediately.

For this good news, everyone in the court showed extremely excited smiles.

"Well, do you hear that? General Niu actually captured all the relatives of Songtsen Gampo! ”

"I heard it, I heard it...... Lao Tzu is not deaf, damn it, this time he really relieved the evil breath in his chest! ”

"It's just a pity that Songtsam Xiao'er ran away......"

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military whispered, because this news was really meaningful to them.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have never been two good news, one destroyed Xue Yantuo, and the second time almost caused Tubo to lose the country...... With such a great victory, there are still several great victories throughout the dynasties!

"Did you say in the good news, how much damage did the left Xiao Guard cavalry do, and how much is left?"

Li Yuanba was far more concerned than everyone else, and he saw that everyone was immersed in joy, but it was a cold voice that interrupted their joy.

The black-armored guard's face changed slightly, but after a while, he said truthfully: "Back to the prince, the number of injuries to Zuo Xiaowei was not stated on the good news, but the small one heard that the Shuozhou City soldier who delivered the good news said......"

Speaking of this, the black-armored guard stopped, and he subconsciously glanced at the princes and ministers around him, as if he was worried.

Li Yuanba's face sank when he saw this, and he said coldly: "Say!" (To be continued......)
