Chapter 622: It's Not What It Used To Be

Li Yuan slapped his palm on the throne and was furious: "There are only a few Turkic soldiers in the rebel army, and besides, the strength of our army is three times that of the rebels, and it will be defeated if it is so strong, is it true that my Tang Xiongshi is in vain?" ”

"Your Majesty is angry." All the ministers knelt down in unison.

Li Yuan paused, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Pass the decree and summon Shi Wanbao, Wang Junkuo and other generals to return to Chang'an immediately."

"Xiao Yu, you immediately set off for Zhaozhou and ransom the corpse of King Huaiyang with a lot of money. If Liu Heimin disagrees, there is no need to entangle, and he will return to Chang'an immediately.

"King Qi listens to orders."

Li Yuanji immediately came out: "The minister is here." ”

"Promote the king of Qi to be the head of the march of Hebei Province, Li Yi to be the deputy head of the army, wait for Xiao Yu to redeem the body of the king of Huaiyang, and immediately recruit the traitor Liu Heimin."

"The minister commands."

Li Shimin lowered his eyes and hid his emotions.

At this point, his father still refused to let him go to crusade against Liu Heimin.

Soon after, Liu Heimin promised to return Li Daoxuan's body.

After Xiao Yu escorted Li Daoxuan's body into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanji immediately launched an attack on Hebei.

……

Huaiyang Palace.

Everywhere you see is white, and the sound of your ears is sorrowful.

Wang Yu followed Li Shimin into the mourning hall, looking at the coffin in front of him, sadness surging in.

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing Wang Yu, Li Fang immediately got up from the ground and rushed towards Wang Yu.

Wang Yuqiang suppressed the sadness in his heart and said to them: "Auntie, cousin, mourning is smooth. ”

Hearing the word "cousin", Li Fang was furious: "Who is your cousin?" Don't call me cousin.

"You think you'll be able to call me cousin if you're made a princess? You're dreaming, you're not welcome here, get out of here......"

"Erniang, shut up." Seeing Li Shimin's displeasure, the princess of Henan reprimanded.

Li Fang was very aggrieved and shouted: "Ah Niang......"

"Shut up."

The princess of Henan dragged Li Fang behind her and looked at Li Shimin and Wang Yu apologetically: "The little girl lost her eldest brother and was so sad that she was so sad that she talked nonsense, and I also asked King Qin and Princess Jinyang not to blame." ”

"Aunt Cousin's words are serious, we won't take it to heart." Li Shimin comforted her: "Daoxuan sacrificed for the country, he is a great hero, and he also asks his aunt to mourn."

"Today, Aya sent me and Xiao Yu'er to come to mourn, because I want my aunt to relax, Aya will never let Dao Xuan sacrifice in vain, and she will never treat Huaiyang Mansion badly.

"If my aunt has a place for her nephew, let me tell you."

The princess of Henan was grateful and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you for the king's kindness." ”

Subsequently, Li Shimin and Wang Yu offered incense, and Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie and others also offered condolences.

After they left, Li Fang was angry, and complained to the princess of Henan: "A-Niang, why are you whispering to that stinky girl in Wang Yu?

"Didn't you like her calling you aunt before? Don't you deny her identity? ”

Seeing Li Fang's arrogant and unreasonable appearance, Princess Henan only felt tired: "In the past, Huaiyang Wangfu was supported by your eldest brother, and it didn't matter if you didn't give Wang Yu's girl face, others were only noisy and noisy between little ladies."

"For the sake of Da Lang's face, Your Majesty and King Qin don't care."

"But now it's not what it used to be, Da Lang died, Erlang hasn't grown up yet, you haven't married, there are only orphans and widows left in Huaiyang Palace, and then like before, how can you gain a foothold in Chang'an?"

"But ......" Li Fang was in tears, very unwilling.

"Didn't you see King Qin getting angry just now?"

Li Fang was stunned, she was only concerned about driving Wang Yu away, and she didn't pay attention to Li Shimin at all.

Princess Henan sighed deeply, held her hand, and patiently enlightened her: "Whether you like Wang Yu or not, you can't change her identity as Your Majesty's righteous daughter, and you can't shake her current status."

"Promise me, when you meet Wang Yu in the future, don't lose your courtesy, and don't let others seize the handle and attack the Huaiyang Palace......"

Li Daoming knelt on the ground, his eyes looked at the coffin, his ears listened to the conversation between his mother and his sister, and the sourness in his heart was overwhelming.

At this moment, he finally accepted the fact that his brother had passed away, and from now on, he was the only man in the Huaiyang Palace......

As soon as she walked out of the Huaiyang Palace, Wang Yu felt a burning gaze, she looked sideways, but only saw a back.

But the man was on crutches, and his right trouser leg was empty.

"Brother Luo." Wang Yu shouted at his back.

The back paused for a moment, then moved away from them faster.

Wang Yu chased after him.

Seeing this, Li Shimin and others also chased after him.

"Brother Luo, are you here to offer condolences?" Wang Yu grabbed Luo Shixin's arm: "Why don't you go in?" ”

"I ......" Luo Shixin lowered his head and said in a small voice: "I...... I don't want to go in and be embarrassed. ”

Wang Yu glanced at his right leg: "There is no shame in breaking your leg, you are a great hero for the loss of your leg for the country and the people, and the people will always be grateful to you." ”

"Xiao Yu'er is right, you are the hero of Datang, and we are proud of you."

Li Shimin walked over and gently patted Luo Shixin's shoulder: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to go in, Dao Xuanquan has knowledge and will understand you."

"But from now on, you have to pull yourself together."

"But......" Luo Shixin didn't dare to look at Li Shimin, lowered his head and said, "I can't go to the battlefield anymore." ”

Li Shimin was silent.

Qin Shubao patted Luo Shixin's arm: "We haven't drunk together for a long time, let's go, go to your house to drink." ”

After the words fell, he instructed Kunbu again: "Take the bottles of good wine I have collected to Luofu, hurry up." ”

Khumbu immediately returned home.

"I'll go too." Wang Yu said.

Li Shimin: "I'll go too." ”

Cheng Zhijie and others also said that they wanted to go.

So, everyone came to Luo Shixin's mansion.

"In the past, we drank together, and no one was absent, and now it is the same."

Qin Shubao poured a full glass of wine for everyone, and then raised the wine glass in his hand: "First glass, salute Brother Xuan." ”

Everyone poured the wine in the wine glass on the ground: "Salute Brother Xuan." ”

"I didn't expect Dao Xuan to die on the battlefield at such a young age, it's really impermanent." Qin Shubao drank all the wine in his cup in one gulp, hoping to wash away the sadness in his heart.

"yes, he's only 19 years old, younger than me!" Luo Shixin picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth.

"Now it seems that Brother Luo is really lucky to be able to pick up a life." The wine brewed in the mouth, Cheng Zhijie only felt bitter.

"War is so cruel that no one knows when they will die on the battlefield." Li Shimin sighed while drinking.

Wang Yu drank silently.

Duan Zhixuan drank the wine in his cup and slammed his fist on the table: "The most hateful thing is that Shi Wanbao, he watched Dao Xuan being surrounded by rebels but did not help, and finally harmed Dao Xuan......

"If he stands in front of me at this moment, I will definitely kill him and avenge Dao Xuan."

A few days ago, the surviving generals such as Shi Wanbao and Wang Junkuo returned to Chang'an to be examined by Dali Temple.

The truth about the defeat gradually surfaced, and when the officials heard about it, they didn't know what to say for a while.

"Don't worry, I won't let him go." Li Shimin's eyes were fierce, and the wine glass was shattered into slag in his hand.

"Heh~"

Someone sneered......
