The next day, the Taiji Hall of the Imperial Palace.

"Goro, Youzhou this trip, you did a great job!"

Hearing Li Er's praise, Li Yuanying hurriedly waved his hand, "The imperial brother praised it falsely, and the younger brother didn't dare to take credit, it was all the soldiers who used their lives, especially the fourth brother, who took the lead in attacking the city......

Before he finished speaking, Li Yuanba, the fourth elder next to him, sneered and complained: "Don't mention the siege, I was robbed of the limelight by Yuwen Chengdu, shame!" ”

Li Er laughed and said: "Fourth brother, although you and Yuwen Chengdu were old enemies back then, but now that the grievances are over, don't hold on to them." ”

"I'm not talking about his exploits, I'm not used to seeing this guy show off in front of me, making him look like the best in the world?" Li Yuanba was not convinced.

"No. 1 in the world? Fourth brother, at most five years, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your position as the number one in the world, will you still fight with Lao Tie when the time comes? Do you want to be second in the world? Li Yuanying quipped, "No, it should be the third in the world." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? In a few years, Xiaodoudou grows up and becomes the first in the world, so shouldn't they compete for the second? Why the third? Li Er was puzzled, could it be that there was some hidden master?

"Second brother, you don't know yet. On this trip, on the way to Youzhou, Xiao Doudou met a young genius, a future peerless general, named Xue Li. This young man is also a natural divine power, with excellent talent in civil and military affairs, and has been accepted as a closed disciple by Yuwen Chengdu. This battle broke through the Goguryeo Pass, and although the young general Xue Li was a teenager, he was heroic. ”

Hearing Li Yuanying praise a young man like this, Li Er was also interested, and he heard it again and again, and asked on the spot that he must see it in person another day.

"Cut, he's just lucky, the blind cat meets the dead mouse, if I'm there, he dares to rob me of someone? This disciple ...... Hum! But it doesn't matter, he is a disciple of the sect, and our little doudou is not bad, and the two of them will compare with each other in the future, and the first in the world is still my closed disciple, which proves that the disciple is also better than him. Li Yuanba said dissatisfiedly.

"Tsk, why does this sound so sour......" Li Yuanying couldn't help but laugh.

"You, Gorou, why don't you want the fourth brother to practice with you?"

"Don't, fourth brother, I was wrong, whether it is a disciple or a personal martial artist, you are the first in the Tang Dynasty, I will prove it to you!"

"I don't need you to prove it, I will let Yuwen Chengdu say it himself, if you don't say it, I will call him!"

……

After the three brothers joked, Li Er continued the previous topic and said: "Goro, I said that you did a very good job, not to break the city and save people, but to dismantle Jingguan and welcome back the bones of those Central Plains soldiers who died on the border. ”

"Hey, second brother, it's serious! Now that the city has been breached, the Jingguan is in front of me, and it is impossible for anyone to pretend not to see it, and it cannot be my credit. ”

Li Erbai glanced at me and said, "Don't pretend to be confused with me. That is, you Goro, if you change anyone, you don't dare to say that you will take back this batch of bones. Do you see these twists and turns in front of me? They are all impeached and said that they should not argue in vain to support the former Sui, and because of your prestige, no one dares to name and say that you are impeached. ”

What???

Li Yuanying and Li Yuanba were very puzzled, Li Yuanying didn't expect it, how could there be such nonsense? I am the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, is it possible that I can support the former Sui and support the restoration?

Li Yuanba thinks that a group of women and children, what is the fuss? If you are idle, you can't send them all to the border to serve in the army.

"What do you think of the second brother?" Li Yuanying asked rhetorically.

That is, he, the unscrupulous King of Qin, dares to ask so directly, who would dare to question the emperor in another person?

Li Er scolded with a smile: "You kid, didn't I say it just now, you did a great job!" In the early years, I persuaded my father that one day the Tang Dynasty would become stronger, and he would send someone to contact Goguryeo and let them demolish Jingguan. Although it was dropped by the former Sui, after all, they are all the bones of the Central Plains Erlang, and it is not okay for a group of foreigners to laugh and humiliate us. ”

"But over the years, Datang's internal and external troubles have not stopped for a day, and it has been delayed again and again, and there is no time to pay attention. I heard that King Rongliu of Goguryeo even wanted to build a small Great Wall on the border, and he was probably afraid that our Tang Dynasty would become stronger, so he would follow the example of the former Sui and come to Goguryeo with three expeditions. Hehe, this old thing, his heart is very big, but unfortunately his life is not long, and he died before the Great Wall was built. Li Er said with emotion.

"Goro, you kid, they all say that you are kind-hearted, and you are the most good person in the world, a living bodhisattva. But you went and killed the sacrificial banner even the only son of King Rongliu, which is ruthless enough. ”

"Ruthless?" Li Yuanying didn't care, but laughed and said, "Is this called ruthlessness?" The second brother should not wronged his younger brother, my ruthlessness is only for outsiders, and for our own people, but only good. Surrounded by wolves, from time to time it is like gnawing two mouthfuls of fat on my Datang, if I am kind to them, wouldn't I be an enemy? ”

"Good! Sure enough, it's my fifth brother, although you are a civil official, but this Tiance Admiral will give it to you, it's not wrong at all, you can see it more clearly than anyone else. Li Er stroked his palms and praised.

"Don't mention Admiral Tiance, I'm just a fictitious position, and the generals in the DPRK and China can't recognize it all, if you want to say this position, the fourth brother is more suitable than me."

"If you don't do it, don't push it to me, let me fight and charge, let me make decisions and plan state affairs in the middle, cough cough, headache!" Li Yuanba had a headache when he performed on the spot.

The hearty laughter of the three brothers came from the Taiji Hall.

Li Yuanying said with emotion: "This trip is because Cheng Qian was arrested, and he was not less frightened along the way, but fortunately, this child is auspicious and returns safely, otherwise how can I explain to my brother and sister-in-law?" By the way, second brother, I want to ask you for an official, that is, Ling Feiyan who helped rescue Cheng Qian, I promised to let him go to Dali Temple, serve as the director of Liupin, and solve the case as a criminal investigator, you have to give me this face. ”

"Gorou, you are not sincere, you still need to discuss with me on trivial matters? Did you hit your second brother in the face? Li Er feigned anger and said: "Not to mention that he sacrificed his life to save Cheng Qian, just rely on your Wulang's face, don't say that you will give him a six-grade master, you just said that he should be the secretary of Dali Temple, as long as he says a word, you don't need to ask me for instructions." Who in the middle of the court disobeys you, King Qin's loyalty to the country? The people you recommend are all talents. ”

"Isn't that kid from a bad background, and he has also committed the taboo of your second brother, and he has not taken down the sea fishing documents for stealing the holy decree until now."

Li Er smiled and said, "Speaking of this person, I have an idea to discuss with you. There is a way to recommend the virtuous for the country, regardless of the background, the only move. Although people like Ling Feiyan have unclean hands and feet, and even have a criminal record, if they are really all arrested and put in prison, I am afraid that my Datang prison will not be enough. ”

"Afraid of this? Wouldn't it be enough to send them all to the mines to work as coolies? How can it help the wicked to get away with the world? Li Yuanba is so polite.

Waving his hand and pressing the two younger brothers, Li Er proposed: "Through this Ling Feiyan, I am thinking, this person is not a great evil, the crime is not to death, and he has a unique skill, he can be regarded as a crooked talent." Is it a waste to let them go to work as coolies or go to prison? For example, Ling Feiyan, although he steals, he still has the country in his heart, so he is a talent who is loyal to the country. ”

"Can we gather such people and let them walk in the sun with a sinful body, and do things for the government and the people. In this way, they don't have to do anything to the world, and they don't have to waste their time in prison. I even have a name in mind. Li Er's eyes lit up and he said.

Li Yuanying's heart moved, and a word came to mind, could it be that?

"Second brother, this plan is very clever, I don't know what name you are going to call these people?"

"Since they are guilty bodies, then they are called bad people, how about it? Datang bad people? ”
