266. The daily life of the military god Li Jing (II)
"What are you angry about? I've been married to you for so many years, and it's only been in recent years that I've been in the middle of the story, and you've been in prison a few times, have I ever disliked you? ”
"In the past, you were full of talent and ambition, but you couldn't get a stage to show it, and you were depressed, I can understand and support you to go out and work hard."
"It's different now, now you, even if you don't do anything in the future, no one in the entire Datang can deny your talent and ability anymore."
"You will be sixty next year, a handful of old people, if you don't recuperate at home, why do you have to do so much fame." Zhang rolled his eyes when he heard this, reached out and twisted his husband's arm hard, and said angrily.
She is born in the rivers and lakes, and her temperament is completely different from those who have been raised in the boudoir, she has a bold temperament, just like the idle clouds and wild cranes that soar in the sky, yearning for unrestrained freedom.
In her opinion, as long as there is no worry about food and clothing, the family lives leisurely and unrestrained, which is better than anything else.
In addition to him in modern times, although the Li family has no particularly noble people, it is also a family, she is a Jianghu person, before marrying Li Jing, she has accumulated countless money, even if Li Jing is not an official, they will not lack food and clothing, there is really nothing to worry about.
Zhang used to fully support her husband's development in officialdom, and she also went to the battlefield with her husband and fought many battles, because she understood her husband's ambition and talent, and couldn't bear to watch his talent be buried like this.
Now, her husband has become a successful and famous, and he has completely proved his ability to the world, and at this time, he will only leave countless good stories between the government and the opposition, and there will be no regrets.
"Chuchen, if you have a wife like you, what more can you ask for, the most proud thing in my life Li Jing is to marry you." After listening to his wife's words, Li Jing felt as if his throat was choked by something, and he couldn't help but reach out and take his wife into his arms.
The wife is right, as long as there is no desire in his heart, whether others are suspicious or not, why care, thinking of this, the depression between his eyebrows quickly dissipated without a trace.
Untied the knot in his heart, drank a lot of wine, and after freshening up, after a while, Li Jing fell asleep, Zhang quietly looked at her husband's sleeping face in the dark night, also closed his eyes, and fell asleep after a while.
A few days after the Qing Palace banquet, Li Jing was really impeached by Xiao Yu, the imperial historian, in the court, Xiao Yu and the former Dynasty Empress Xiao are sisters and brothers.
Princess Yicheng is the daughter of the Sui clan, and was later named a princess to marry the Turkic Shibi Khan.
When Emperor Yang of Sui was trapped in Yanmen Pass, it was she who risked her life to send false information to her husband, so that Emperor Yang of Sui was able to escape.
After the fall of Sui, Empress Xiao went to the Turks, if it were not for the blessing of Princess Yicheng, that is, the current Khan Jieli's Kedun, she was afraid that it would be difficult to have good results.
But Li Jing killed her when she attacked the Turkic base camp, Princess Yicheng was loyal to the Great Sui, but she did not have any good impression of Li Tang, in her concept, Li Tang was a rebellious minister and thief who stole the country.
After she married Jieli, she instigated him to attack Datang more than once, in the face of such a woman, Li Jing could not let her survive, but for Xiao Yu, it was not like this.
Because of Princess Yicheng's unsparing protection of Queen Xiao, in Xiao Yu's eyes, Princess Yicheng was the great benefactor of their Xiao family, but after Li Jing hit the Turks, he killed her without saying a word.
And Li Shimin not only did not blame him for this atrocity, but also held him up to the sky, which made Xiao Yu extremely angry and angry, and at this time, someone reported Li Jing, saying that his troops had done many evil deeds in the Turks after breaking through Yin Mountain.
The generals under his command connived at the looting of the soldiers, which brought a very bad impact on the image of the Tang Dynasty in the grassland, and on the third day after the banquet in the Qing Palace, Xiao Yu played the impeachment of Li Jing for governing the army.
He wrote in the memoir: When Li Jing's army attacked and broke through the tent of Jieli Khan, he openly set troops and looted it, resulting in many treasures and cultural relics being looted by the soldiers, and at the same time looting others indiscriminately......"
"Although the Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty has been victorious, there are people everywhere waiting for dinner with their mouths open, and the court needs money everywhere......
Since ancient times, the pen of the literati is a knife that kills people without seeing blood, Rao is Li Shimin's belief in Li Jing's character, seeing this paper fold and that series of evidence, he can't help but slap the table angrily.
He scolded Li Jing severely, scolded him to the point of blood, if he hadn't communicated with his wife before, he was suddenly reprimanded by this, Li Jing would probably be panicked and resentful in his heart, but now he seems very calm.
"It was the ministers' lax restraint that led to the reckless behavior of the generals under his command, disrupting the law, and asking Your Majesty to surrender the crime." Li Jing didn't defend half a sentence, and directly kowtowed to Li Shimin to ask for guilt.
Li Shimin still had a stomach full of things to say, but when he saw Li Jing confessing his guilt so neatly, he didn't know what to say for a while, and looked at him in a daze for a long time, and finally could only wave his hand to let him retreat.
"Your Majesty, it is understandable that the army will be more excited and act a little biased on the battlefield because of excessive killings, besides, it is understandable that everyone has been fighting for so long with their heads and taking some money from the enemy......" After the dispersal of the dynasty, Sun Wuji, the chief secretary of the ministry, took a look at the gap, ran to Li Shimin's side, and defended Li Jing with some injustice.
"Auxiliary, I don't know this, I am also from leading soldiers, but these ministers, they have never fought, they don't understand things on the battlefield at all, and they will only blindly measure the soldiers by the morality in the books......"
"Especially this Xiao Yu, he stood up to impeach Li Jing, not necessarily because of national law, mostly because of personal grudges, hum." Li Shimin glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, and sighed helplessly, he was also from a background in leading soldiers to fight, how could he not understand these truths.
When it came to Xiao Yu, Li Shimin's face sank involuntarily, this Xiao Yu usually called himself a gentleman, but when it really involved personal feelings, he was also a villain who took revenge for himself.
"Then Your Majesty ......" Eldest Sun Wuji looked at Li Shimin with some puzzlement.
"I reprimanded Li Jing, first, I want to see his reaction, the meritorious person is easy to be arrogant, and the pharmacist's usual conduct is nothing to say, but this time the credit is too great, I want to know if he still has the same calmness and indifference as before."
"Second, how much do you satisfy the hearts of these ministers, they, they are looking at me and all the generals are held so high, and their hearts are unbalanced." Li Shimin shook his head.
