Chapter 27: Believe if you don't believe
Li Dan's denial of this matter was categorical, without the slightest hesitation.
Li Longji was resourceful, good at scheming and decisive, and proved his extraordinary talent with meritorious deeds, which was very appreciated and admired by Li Dan, but at this moment, they denied it without any hesitation.
You can't blame them, it's too hard to believe. The matter of exterminating Tubo, the emperors of Qin, Han, Wu, Tang and Taizong can't do it, although Li Longji is good, if he does it, who will believe it?
"This San Lang, he actually lied about the military situation! He actually lied about the military situation! Li Danwu said with hatred: "I trust him so much. Let him come back, and I will train him well. ”
"It must be a lie about the military!" Di Renjie, Wang Xiaojie, and Zhang Cambodia said in unison.
There will be no explanation other than a lie about the military situation.
Yao Chong raised his eyebrows and groaned, "Where is the prince's military report?" ”
Jia Ming hurriedly said: "It's still in the hands of the soldiers who reported the victory." When I heard their shouting, I felt incredulous, and asked them for a military report, but they insisted on presenting it to His Majesty in person, so I had to come and report it. ”
"What do you care about him? San Lang is so nonsense, he is angry. Li Dan was indignant.
He was very fond of Li Longji, and Li Longji actually lied about the military situation, which made him sad, and he couldn't help but be angry.
"Your Majesty, whether this is true or not, it is better to ask these soldiers who have reported victory." Song Jing thought for a while.
"What do you want to ask?" Li Dan's face sank, and he said, "I will be even more angry if I ask." ”
"Your Majesty, the last time the prince reported that he captured Shibao City, we didn't believe it. But it turned out to be true. If this time it's true. And we don't believe it. Isn't it embarrassing? Yao Chong pondered: "The matter of exterminating Tibet is too shocking to be unbelievable. But there is one thing, we didn't think of it, who would dare to lie about the military situation in such a big event? ”
The extermination of Tibet is something that has never been done for thousands of years, and if you lie about the military situation, you are looking for death.
It is necessary to lie about the military situation and make military merits. I won't do anything about this, but I will do things in other places, such as overreporting the number of beheadings, and lying about laying down one or two, three or five more cities.
To lie about destroying the country, or to lie about the military situation of a big country like Tubo, which has not been destroyed for thousands of years, once it is exposed, it will be a dead end, and no matter how stupid a person is, he will not do anything in this matter, let alone Li Longji, who is still shrewd.
"It makes sense." Li Dan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said.
"Hmm." Di Renjie, Wang Xiaojie, and Zhang Cambodia nodded in unison.
"Call them to me." Li Dan decided to ask.
Jia Ming responded. Go and bring someone.
"Wang Xiaojie, if San Lang really destroys Tubo. Tell me, how did he do it? Li Dan asked Wang Xiaojie.
Di Renjie, Zhang Cambodia, Yao Chong, and Song Jing all fell on Wang Xiaojie.
"Minister...... Ignorance. Wang Xiaojie thought about it, but he couldn't think of a way to destroy Tibet.
At this moment, Jia Ming came in with the soldiers who reported the victory, and without waiting for them to salute, Li Dan said in a deep voice: "Tell me, how did San Lang destroy Tibet?" ”
He didn't believe it, and summoned these soldiers to come for questioning, but it was just a formality, and he didn't even ask about the military report. If Li Longji is lying about the military situation, it is better not to read the military report and make him angry.
"Your Majesty, that's the ......," the leader of the soldiers hurriedly said.
"This ......" The monarchs and ministers were all dumbfounded.
"Wang Xiaojie, is this credible?" Li Danwu was shocked and uncertain.
"Xing Xu Neng seems to be ......" Wang Xiaojie is also uncertain.
If you want to say that you don't believe it, if you say it with a nose and eyes, you can't make it up.
Believe it or not, it happened so suddenly, they haven't turned the corner yet.
"Credible!" Yao Chong affirmed loudly.
"Absolutely!" Song Jing hurriedly agreed.
"You believed?" Li Dan rolled his eyes and glared at the two of them, quite displeased.
"Your Majesty, why don't you believe this? What we have seen with our own eyes, we have experienced it with our own eyes, and we are starting from the logic, can this be false? A group of soldiers who reported the victory did not follow, and said angrily.
This is true, and they have experienced it firsthand, and they are full of confidence in what they say.
As soon as they heard it, they could hear that there was no moisture in these words, and Li Dan and they were stunned again.
"Your Majesty, there's a question, have you thought about it?" Yao Chong said loudly: "The crown prince is already the crown prince, the future is unlimited, and the brothers are harmonious, the crown prince's position is as stable as Mount Tai, what is the use of him lying about the military situation?" ”
"......" Li Dan, Di Renjie, Wang Xiaojie, and Zhang Cambodia opened their mouths wide and were speechless for a long time.
Yao Chong's words are too reasonable, Li Longji, the prince, has no competitors, Li Chengqi took the initiative to resign, and Li Longji's position as the crown prince is as stable as Mount Tai. Li Dan is no longer the emperor, the throne is 100% on his head, Li Longji is useless in lying about the military situation, why should he take such a big risk when there is no use?
"That means it's credible?" Li Dan's eyes lit up.
"Credible! Believable! Absolutely! Di Renjie, Wang Xiaojie, and Zhang Cambodia's heads were as fast as chickens pecking rice, and they were about to break their necks.
"It's incredible, San Lang actually destroyed Tubo." Once Li Dan believed it, his attitude took a 180-degree turn, and he pulled up his throat, almost singing: "The matter of destroying Tubo is that Emperor Qin and Emperor Taizong can't do it, but San Lang actually did it, haha!" He is worthy of my son! He is a good son of mine! ”
"Congratulations! Congratulations! Di Renjie and they congratulated in unison.
"Huh!" Li Dan let out a burst of laughter, extremely cheerful, pointed at Di Renjie and them, and said: "You guys, you don't believe San Lang, you dare to say that San Lang lied about the military situation, do you believe it now?" ”
Di Renjie and the others rolled their eyes, speechless for a while, it was Li Dan who didn't believe it first, okay? It was Li Dan who accused Li Longji of lying about the military situation.
In the end, he actually relied on Di Renjie and them.
"The ministers are stupid, and they don't know the wisdom of the prince, if it weren't for His Majesty's discernment. The ministers were still in the dark. Yao Chong had a smile on his face. To make up a joke.
"Yes. Yes, the ministers admired His Majesty's wisdom. Di Renjie and the others also understood, and hurriedly agreed.
"Huh!" Li Dan laughed so hard that his nose and eyes were crowded.
Li Dan couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and said to these soldiers who reported the victory: "You guys galloped all the way, it was very hard, go down and rest first." Jia Zu, let the imperial doctor condition their bodies and get some delicious food and drink. ”
"Thank you! Thank you! "I can get Li Longdan's personal command. This is a supreme honor, and these soldiers who have rewarded the victory are grateful.
Jia Ming took them down.
"What are you still doing? Hurry up, go to the edict, and let the world know that San Lang has destroyed Tubo. Li Dan's eyes lit up with excitement.
This battle was the first battle since his reinstatement, and he fought so beautifully that he created a precedent for a generation, and he was so happy that he wished everyone knew about it.
"Your Majesty, this may be a little difficult." Di Renjie shook his head and said, "The soldiers who reported the victory galloped all the way. Shouting loudly, the news of the destruction of Tibet has spread. But the people did not rejoice in the slightest, because they did not believe. Even if His Majesty decrees, they may not necessarily believe it. ”
"yes." Wang Xiaojie and they agreed.
Even Li Dan, Di Renjie, and Wang Xiaojie don't believe it, let alone the people.
"If you don't believe it, you have to believe it!" Li Dan waved his hand magnificently and said domineeringly.
"Alright then, let's go and proclaim." Di Renjie and they had no choice but to declare the decree.
"Such a big victory, I want to let my mother know and make my mother happy." Li Dan thought of Wu Zetian and decided to share this rare joy with Wu Zetian.
With such an unprecedented victory, Wu Zetian will be happy when he knows it, which is also a filial piety of Li Dan. As soon as he thought of it, Li Dan went straight to Wu Zetian's bedroom.
Wu Zetian's dormitory was not far from Li Dan's residence. Li Xian took Li Chongrun and was busy taking care of Wu Zetian.
Since being forced to abdicate by Li Longji, Li Xian's father and son have been doing their filial piety and taking care of Wu Zetian. After a series of blows, Wu Zetian suddenly became much older, with gray hair and many wrinkles on his face, which could not be compared with his previous appearance in his forties.
With the support of Li Dan's father and son, Wu Zetian was walking with a cane.
"Old Seven, do you know how the battle of Dafeichuan went?" Wu Zetian asked as he walked.
"Mother, there is no news yet." Li Xian complained a little and said: "San Lang is really, it's been so long, and he hasn't even had a good news." ”
"You, don't complain about Saburo." Wu Zetian was very relieved and said: "No news is good news. ”
"Mother, what do you mean by this?" Li Xian didn't understand.
"You, don't you want to think about what kind of person Saburo is? This kid is especially capable of tossing, the more he doesn't move, the more he is planning big things. Once he has a movement, it must be an earth-shattering shock. Wu Zetian has great confidence in Li Longji.
"Mother, you ......" Li Xian's face was incredulous, it was obviously Li Longji who forced Wu Zetian to abdicate, Wu Zetian was so confident in Li Longji, if he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't have believed it was true if he killed him.
"Do you think San Lang forced his mother to abdicate, and his mother hated him?" Wu Zetian shook his head, with a smile on his face, and said, "If you want to say that you don't hate at all, it's true, it's a little hate." But he is his mother's grandson, a good grandson of his mother, and his mother also hopes that he can come out. This kid is worthy of being his mother's grandson, and he is especially able to toss and not say, but also to earn face. ”
At the mention of the word "earning face", Wu Zetian was pleased, and Li Longji did not give her a lot of face.
"I've seen my mother." Li Dan trotted over with a smile.
"Hmm. Saburo has a military report, right? Dafeichuan won the battle? Wu Zetian took a look at Li Dan and immediately asked.
"Mother, you know everything?" Li Dan was stunned.
"You've written it all on your face, can you know it?" Wu Zetian gave him an angry look.
"Mother, San Lang fought a big victory, annihilated 500,000 people in Tubo, and captured Zampu ......" Li Danle repaid.
"That's not right." Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Li Dan was stunned, this is a real victory, what's wrong?
"San Lang destroyed Tubo, right?" Wu Zetian's eyes widened, and he suddenly asked.
"Exterminating Tibet, impossible!" Li Xian's father and son shook their heads in unison.
"Mother, you know everything?" Li Dan was surprised. (To be continued......)
