Su Zong glanced at Li Jiao and sighed: "It's not that I don't help them, it's that they sometimes disappoint me too much......" Shen Pearl was very frightened when he heard it.

She has not had much contact with the emperor, and since he became the crown prince, he has always been cautious, does not fight with them, has a weak personality, and is easily instigated by others.

Judging from today's situation, the emperor clearly understood Li Jiao,—— he must have known about Li Jiao's unauthorized departure from the barracks, but he did not make it difficult for him.

Under the overall situation of the Tang Dynasty, as the emperor, he may be afraid that Li Jiao will take the opportunity of counterinsurgency to support his troops and threaten his throne, but he is even more afraid that Guo and Li Zhu will disobey the constraints and sit on the big cheats and seize the Tang Dynasty.

Compared with the two evils, the one who chooses the lesser power will definitely trust Li Jiao more for a while, and will never cut off his arm.

However, Concubine Zhang Shufei and Li Fuguo sang and harmonized, and deliberately transferred their father and son, so that the emperor's dissatisfaction with Li Jiaozhi could not be removed.

Looking at this situation, the emperor trusted and pampered this concubine Zhang more than when he was in Chang'an, and in the long run, Li Li was in danger.

Sure enough, when the second day passed, the inner servant came with a decree, and His Majesty summoned Li Jiao and his wife in the inner court of Xingyuan.

Fang stepped into the threshold of the inner court, and Li Fuguo, the head of the inner court, greeted the general, looking respectful, and said, "Your Majesty is waiting inside." ”

Su Zonghe gave the two of them a seat, and did not ask Shen Pearl about her previous experience, only asked her if she was in good health, and it was a habit to come to Fengxiang, just like an ordinary father. didn't say a few words, Concubine Zhang Shu also came out, she just arrived in Fengxiang and gave birth to a son, named Dong, at this time just over a month, postpartum recuperation is not good, quite a cowardly color. Seeing Shen Zhuzhu, he smiled, carefully holding his hand and asking for warmth, and Shen Pearl replied respectfully one by one.

Concubine Zhang Shu said: "Now that the pearl has returned safely, Yu'er can handle military affairs with peace of mind, yesterday the concubine occasionally heard that the Hui soldiers were arrogant and rude, and they mostly clashed with the soldiers left behind under Marshal Guo, but it was not a trivial matter. At that time, although Guo Ziyi was appointed as the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, only a small part of his soldiers and horses were left in Fengxiang, Guo Ziyi personally led his soldiers to fight the rebels in the Hedong region since the end of last year, while Li Guangbi led his troops to defend Taiyuan. There are less than 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Fengxiang County, most of whom are rabble; The rest are reinforcements from all walks of life and Hui soldiers and horses, about nearly 10,000 people. The military horses of all walks of life came from different sources, had different habits, and often had disputes, thanks to the mediation of Li Mi and Yan Ming.

Su Zong frowned and said, "Oh, there is such a thing? Looking at Li Jiao.

Li Jiao had already prepared and replied calmly: "Erchen has heard clearly, this matter was originally a misunderstanding. -- Because most of the Uighur soldiers believed in paganism and did not eat pork, and the secretary of our army who delivered food did not know about this matter, after the grain and grass transported from the river arrived yesterday, they sent a special amount of lard and pork. Now that the matter has been mediated, the Hui prince Ye Hu may meet His Majesty and come to apologize in person. ”

Li Fuguo interjected on the side: "Although our army acted wrongly, this time the soldiers were too arrogant and unreasonable. ”

Zhang Shufei said with a smile: "In the end, it is Yu'er who is capable, and she has just come back to deal with such a tricky matter." Your Majesty, how could you bear to punish him for kneeling for so long last night, and the concubines didn't dare to persuade him. It's really a misservice to this kid. ”

Su Zong snorted and said, "I'm still light, and there will be a next time-"

"Your Majesty, Prince Hui asks to see you." The chamberlain retribution.

"Oh, I really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived." Li Fuguo said in a low voice.

Shen Pearl frowned. At this time, it was still early, and the emperor was in the inner court, and it was inappropriate to ask His Majesty to see him regardless of time and place, and Mo Yan was already in Fengxiang, and he did not come to Jin in person, only let Ye Hu come to the child, it was really arrogant and rude, and the Tang Dynasty was restored, and it really fell to such a point of looking up to people?

Su Zong exited a square with the word "Xuan", saw the light and shadow swaying at the gate, and walked in with a person in high spirits. Wearing heavy armor, with a youthful face and a heroic posture, it is Ye Hu, who has grown much taller than more than two years ago, and has a bit of the momentum of a young general.

Ye Hu walked a few steps and half-knelt down: "Ye Hu see His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." "But he didn't kneel three times and bow nine times. Although Su Zong was unhappy in his heart, he still motioned to Li Puguo to hold his arm and help him up. said: "The prince has worked hard. ”

Ye Hu's worship was already empty, he immediately stood up, his eyes glanced in all directions, and he was suddenly overjoyed, stepped forward, knelt in front of Shen Pearl with "Tong", and shouted: "Ye Hu greets his mother." ”

This kneeling suddenly shocked the four seats. Shen Pearl hurriedly picked up Ye Hu.

Li Puguo immediately sneered and said: "The prince has not made such a big gift to the emperor, how can he be so respectful to Princess Guangping?" ”

Ye Hu Zhengse said: "I Hui people regard their mother as a god, their position is above the father and the king, the princess has a life-saving grace to the minister, and is the mother-in-law of the minister, please do not blame Your Majesty." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was silent, and their expressions were different.

Shen Pearl secretly shouted that it was not good, Ye Hu's words, how could he not remind people of the old things between An Lushan and the concubine! At that time, An Lushan trusted and honored Bo Xuanzong, recognized the concubine as his mother, and said: "The courtier is a fan, and the habit of the fanren is to worship his mother first, and then his father." "Since the beginning of the turmoil, the court and the central government have regarded the concubine as a disaster and hated her. Today's Ye Hu's words are exactly the same as An Lushan's words back then, how can it not make people suspicious? peeked at Li Jiao and found that even he was silent and thoughtful.

Su Zong laughed and said: "It turns out that there is such a twist and turn story, but it is a good story. It's just a pity—"

Concubine Zhang Shu said, "What is Your Majesty's pity? ”

"It's a pity that I see that the prince is a talent, and I am thinking about which princess and county lord to marry the prince recently.

Concubine Zhang Shu pursed her lips and smiled: "What are the concubines talking about, the matter of generations, let's each according to our own, as long as the prince likes which princess and county lord, what can't he marry?" Then he asked Ye Hu: "Prince, do you have anyone you like?" ”

Ye Hu bowed down and replied: "Niangniang said that it was funny, Ye Hu's marriage was decided by the Khan, and the ministers did not dare to make their own decisions." ”

Su Zong sighed: "It's really an obedient and good boy, and if my children are as capable and obedient as you, they don't have to worry about it like me." Li Jiao listened to him and stood solemnly.

But I heard Concubine Zhang Shufei say angrily: "Your Majesty said such a thing, where can you put your children and your children?" How can there be such a father who is not partial to help the short! ”

Su Zong glanced at Li Jiao and sighed: "It's not that I don't help them, it's that they sometimes disappoint me too much......" Shen Pearl was very frightened when he heard it. She has not had much contact with the emperor, and since he became the crown prince, he has always been cautious, does not fight with them, has a weak personality, and is easily instigated by others. Judging from today's situation, the emperor clearly understood Li Jiao,—— he must have known about Li Jiao's unauthorized departure from the barracks, but he did not make it difficult for him. Under the overall situation of the Tang Dynasty, as the emperor, he may be afraid that Li Jiao will take the opportunity of counterinsurgency to support his troops and threaten his throne, but he is even more afraid that Guo and Li Zhu will disobey the constraints and sit on the big cheats and seize the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at this situation, the emperor trusted and pampered this concubine Zhang more than when he was in Chang'an, and in the long run, Li Li was in danger.

While thinking about it, I heard Su Zong say: "Pearl has returned from an adventure, and I have a big gift to give her." ”

Shen Pearl hurriedly knelt down: "The sons and daughters bothered to bother the emperor, and the sons and daughters did not dare to accept the courtesy!" ”

Su Zong smiled: "This ceremony is very important, you have to bear it." Said to Li Fuguo: "Proposed edict-"

Li Fuguo and Zhang Shufei didn't seem to know what Su Zong meant, and Li Fuguo listened with bated breath.

"Canonize the Guangping princess Shen as the lady of Yipin Zhenguo, admire this."

Li Jiao was overjoyed, and Lala Shen Pearl sleeved and said, "Don't hurry up and thank you." Shen Pearl hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him. She is the princess of the county, only the third grade, and now she is crowned the lady of the first grade, but she has jumped a few levels, which is extremely special. You must know that because Emperor Xuanzong is still in Shuzhong, even Li Jiao and other county kings have not entered the seal, so he maintains the original rank and title unchanged, but suddenly crowns her little princess, what is the purpose? Could it be that—

She secretly raised her eyes to look at Su Zong's expression, and saw that he looked at Ye Hu, as if she had a deep meaning.

I see. This war, the bloody battle, the man's exploits, but the emperor wanted her to be mixed in.

Giving her such a high status is not only to reassure her - a daughter-in-law who is even recognized by the emperor, who dares to say more. It also allowed her to hold the line of love and righteousness for Ye in the past, and achieve the goal of the Tang family to pacify the world.

She, Shen Zhu, a weak woman, when did she reach such an important position!
