713 Final word
Soon, a person wearing a special post uniform respectfully handed the eight-hundred-mile express to Li Er.
Li Er took it and personally checked that the fire paint was correct, then he opened the letter and watched its contents, and the important ministers present saw that the more Li Er looked at the smile on his face, the brighter it became, and there was a hint of excitement. ”
Wei Chi Jingde hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, what is the good news?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, if you are so happy, say it too, so that the ministers and others will also be happy." Duan Zhixuan couldn't help but say.
Those present were all important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, who knew about the confidential matters of the Tang Dynasty, and the eight-hundred-mile urgent mail sent from Yangguan, and this urgent mail could still make Li Er smile, nine times out of ten Liu Yuan and his entourage had good news, Wei Chi Jingde's son Wei Chi Baoqing, Duan Zhixuan's son-in-law Guan Yong, also followed Liu Yuan into Tubo, and the information related to Tubo, the two of them were naturally very concerned.
Li Er did not hide it, and the letter in his hand said: "News came from Yangguan that Liu Yuan and his entourage have entered the territory of our Tang Dynasty from the Great Snow Mountain in Tibet, and they will meet Cheng Huailiang and his party eighty miles outside Yangguan, and after a short rest, they will set off to return to Beijing. ”
It's really back, everyone is overjoyed when they hear it, and Cui Shang, the head of the household department who is at the bottom of the seat, is even more overjoyed when he hears the words, as if he has been promoted.
"It's finally back."
"Yes, I set off in September, and now that the Shangyuan Festival has passed, I finally waited for their news."
"That's not bad, dozens of people entered Tibet and can come back, I don't know if my nephew has that luck."
In the imperial study, there are not as many rules as in the court, and all the ministers have a lot of discussions when they hear it, which is good news for them. Everyone present acquiesced to a statement: Liu Yuan is the lucky star of the Tang Dynasty, and since he is a lucky star, he naturally can't fall casually.
Li Er looked at the envoy who was still kneeling on the ground, nodded, and then said loudly: "Come here, there will be a reward." ”
"Emperor Xie!" The envoy hurriedly thanked him, and then took out a letter from his bosom and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, there is another letter from General Liu to the emperor himself. ”
Oh, the letter has not yet returned, and this letter has arrived?
Li Er said quietly: "Biography"
Soon. The eunuch on duty presented the letter repaired by Liu Yuan to Li Er, and the messenger who delivered the letter also asked Jin Zhiwu to take it down to receive the reward.
When he opened the letter, Li Er looked at it on the spot, and saw that his face was surprised at first, and soon became happy and even excited, but after seeing it, he was the last. Some of them looked solemn, as if they were a little undecided. After reading it. The whole person was a little silent.
"Your Majesty, what's going on? Looking at the emperor's face, it was not very good. The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but ask.
Wei Chi Jingde said with a calm face: "Your Majesty, if you have any news, although the minister is old, he can still support it." ”
The words are heroic. However, his face changed a little, and Duan Zhixuan on the side was no exception.
Dying on the battlefield and shrouding the horse leather is the best destination for soldiers, but meritorious service, promotion to knighthood, and glorious lintel are the ultimate aspirations of everyone. People are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless, who does not care about the safety of their relatives, Liu Yuan led dozens of people to dare to enter Tubo to fish for people, to find out information, that courage can be said that no one in the Tang Dynasty is the right, it would be good to be able to come back, no one would have the luxury of hoping that they could retreat, did not hear the news of the safety of their relatives, still a little nervous, emotionally uneasy.
"There is not much loss this time, and the results are extremely brilliant, but" Li Er handed the letter to the eldest grandson Wuji and said: "Uncle Guo, you can see the Tao by looking at it." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The eldest grandson, Wuji, respectfully accepted the three-page letter.
After receiving the letter, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately looked at it, and Wei Chi Jingde, Duan Zhixuan, Xiao Yu, Cui Shang and others showed their heads behind him one by one and looked at them carefully.
This letter is a summary of the trip to Tubo, from what Songzhou saw and heard to the lead department to adapt to the environment step by step, and then with the cooperation of the meticulous work, the peach and plum were stiff, disguised as the Tibetan guards to enter the city of Luo, creating disputes and causing mutual suspicion between the two religions, robbing the princess on a snowy night, causing turmoil in the city of Luo, attacking the Divine Bird Garden, and then passing through the vast Golmud Desert, bypassing the Snow Mountain and returning to the Longyou region of the Tang Dynasty, although it is just a simple description, many things are even more brushed aside, Many details will not be asked clearly until Liu Yuan returns to Chang'an, but all the old ministers are enthusiastic about it, as if reading a legend.
And Liu Yuan also said in the letter that there is another major good news, which is inconvenient to say in the letter, and he only said it when he returned to Chang'an to face the saint.
God, this is too good, just dozens of people, even with such destructive power, it is simply a general in the general, recall last year, when Liu Yuan was still in the Zhenfan army, he successfully spread rumors, Songtsen Gampo died in battle, which caused civil strife in Tubo, even if Songtsan Gampo captured a city, he did not dare to take a penny, and was forced to send people to sue for peace, cut land and pay compensation for peace, I didn't expect this time Liu Yuan once again caused civil strife in Tubo, especially in broad daylight, in the capital of Tubo, Luoshu City to commit murder and evil, but also to promote the military prestige of the Tang Dynasty, when I saw this, Even the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but clench his fists and shouted hello.
Seeing the back, I saw that it read: "The princess of Tubo who was rescued by the minister from the Luosang Temple, gave birth to a daughter in the wind and snow, and the emperor was blessed, and the mother and daughter were safe, and the daughter was the flesh and blood of the minister, so naturally she could not give it up, and the princess of Tubo, Zanmeng Saimaga, after the education of the minister, is now willing to leave the name of the princess of Tubo, be an ordinary person, and return to the Tang Dynasty with the minister to start a new life, in order to forget the past and start a new life, took the name of a Tang woman, surnamed Hu, the name Xin, and the minister feels that she owes a lot to her mother and daughter, I am willing to use this credit to ask for a name for the two daughters, and ask the emperor to fulfill it. ”
It is estimated that this is where Li Er is worried, an enemy princess actually gave up a pampered life, and rashly went back to a foreign country with a person who had raped her to teach her husband and children, and this person is still a light general of the Tang Dynasty very much, among them, will there be any intentions?
If Zanmeng Saimaga is not the princess of Tubo, and Liu Yuan is not the leader of the new generation of generals in the Tang Dynasty, then the matter is not so complicated.
Liu Yuan made a miraculous achievement and brought the news of the Tubo princess back to the Tang Dynasty, for the ministers, it is not a big problem, that is, Cui Shang, the eldest uncle of Cui Mengyao from Qinghe Cui, after seeing the words "mother and daughter are safe", he also has a relaxed face, if he gives birth to a man, it is estimated that his third brother will have troubles, but he only gave birth to a girl, and it has no impact on the status of his niece, so it will naturally not affect the relationship between the two families.
Soon, Wei Chi Jingde, Duan Zhixuan and others were also happy, because Liu Yuan also listed the list of casualties in the back, and nearly half of them were lost, but in detail, the casualties were only more than 20, and in the eyes of the generals, it was not worth mentioning, especially people like Guan Yong, Hou Jun, Wei Chi Baoqing and others all returned safely, and their promotions were in sight, can you not be happy?
With Liu Yuan, it's really the right person.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think should be done with this matter?" Seeing that after reading it from the minister, Li Er asked loudly.
Xiao Yu said with a smile: "I'd rather demolish a temple than destroy a family, the emperor, the gentleman has the beauty of an adult, and the princess of Tubo can let go of her own opinions, understand the righteousness, and think that it should be fulfilled." ”
"Minister's objection" Wei Chi Jingde retorted sharply: "If the two are happy, then it should naturally be fulfilled, but Tubo is a barbarian state, the women of Tubo do not obey the indoctrination, and General Liu forcibly has sex with the princess of Tubo, I am afraid, this is the conspiracy of the Tubo people." ”
"That's right, I'm a big man in the Tang Dynasty, and I am an outstanding person, what kind of beauty do I want? The minister thought that this matter needed to be cautious. Duan Zhixuan said as he said to Cui Shang: "Cui Shangshu, you say, what Duan said makes sense?" ”
Unexpectedly, he still put himself on the stage, seeing that everyone was staring at him, Cui Shang had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "I can't talk about this matter, if I am asked to judge, I think that I should observe her face for a period of time, watch her personality, and then make a decision, as for the name, leave it for discussion later." ”
"It's not good, it's not good" Qin Qiong waved his hand and said: "The princess of the enemy country surrenders, what a big deal this is, if we drag on this matter, then won't it chill the determination of those who want to take refuge in my Datang?" In any case, this is the pride of Datang, and I think that not only should it not be suppressed, but it should also be used for publicity, so that friendly neighbors can also see the demeanor of my Datang. ”
"What if the Tibetan princess has bad intentions?"
"That's still a shadowless thing, and you have to have that ability to have bad intentions, what can a weak woman do? Besides, my Datang intelligence department is not a vegetarian either. ”
Everyone was noisy and noisy, so they fought over whether to accept this Tubo princess and whether to give her a reward, and the more everyone talked, the louder they became, and they also quarreled in the court, while Li Er was accustomed to watching from the wall and was not in a hurry to express his position.
"Uncle Guo, what is your opinion?" Li Er saw that several confidants and ministers were arguing, but the eldest grandson Wuji was sitting quietly where to drink and eat snacks, that leisurely appearance, daring to watch a play, Li Er knew that he must have an idea in his heart, and asked directly.
The eldest grandson Wuji said lightly: "The emperor is very open-minded, admired by the subjects of the Tang Dynasty, even a foreign race, and he is also deeply impressed, from their respect for the emperor as the heavenly khan, it can be known that since the emperor can accommodate a state and a family, not to mention this little girl, and General Liu is a once-in-a-century talent, he will be properly settled." ”
"Besides, General Liu is asking for military merits, their line, less than 100 people, but they have achieved such brilliant results, it can be said that the hard work is high, a weak woman, and she can't turn over the big waves, your Majesty, don't chill the hearts of meritorious soldiers." The eldest grandson Wuji said sincerely.
These words also touched Li Er's heart: Yes, one state and one family, if you can still accommodate it, you can't accommodate a weak woman? Speaking of Datang, that is their own territory, how many storms can a weak woman withstand, is it still afraid that a Tubo woman will not succeed?
Li Eryi said conclusively: "Okay, Aiqing, let's discuss what kind of reward should be given to them." (To be continued......)
