In the Taiji Palace, Emperor Li Er listened to it with relish, and someone still explained it in person, but it was not true to see the battle report.

At the same time, a military newspaper from the front line was sent to Chang'an every day, and a group of think tanks such as Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu, Changsun Wuji, and Gao Shilian were in charge of logistics. The war used a large number of people, took a long time, and the money and food were consumed quickly, and now so many people have died, and the pension is a large amount, and the finances of the imperial court are almost exhausted.

"The crown prince has been rescued, and the military purpose has been achieved. Why didn't the front line withdraw its troops, and why did they stay outside Dingxiang City to confront each other? There are less than 60,000 soldiers and horses, and once the Turks come to reinforcements......" Gao Shilian said.

Wei Zheng nodded, "Yes, there is no point in confronting each other any longer." It's time to ask Your Majesty to withdraw your troops and stop fighting. ”

Fang Xuanling threw over a copy of the latest military newspaper, "Strike the war? Hehe, I'm afraid it's difficult. Not only did the front line not want to stop fighting, but even went up to ask for another battle. Let's take a look, Li Shangshu and the champion Hou Lian are on the table. ”

Everyone took it and looked at it carefully, and they all felt unclear, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, when has such a tragic war been fought? Even if it was against Wang Shichong back then, the soldiers besieged Luoyang for a year, it was not as tragic as the current battle. Still fighting? Are you crazy? With your tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, can you capture Dingxiang City?

Wei Zheng got up, picked up the fold and walked quickly to the Taiji Palace, "No, I'll go to see Your Majesty, if you don't withdraw the troops, you won't be able to supply food and grass." ”

Fang Du and the others glanced at each other, and they all looked at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu was puzzled: "What do you think I do? ”

"Brother Shi Wen, aren't you going with you? Is Xuan Cheng distressed about grain and grass? He was clearly feeling sorry for his son-in-law. Champion Hou Xiaorui died nine times for life, and finally carried the danger of the night attack, and now he has to forcibly break through Dingxiang, and it will be really dangerous to fight again. ”

"Master Hou is really a good life, a good father-in-law. In contrast, Brother Shi Wen, your father is a bit ......" everyone joked.

Xiao Yu laughed heartily, and said modestly: "Xuancheng can go alone, if I go it is not appropriate, it seems that I am a little out of personal interest." ”

Everyone laughed and joked, are you modest? Or is it showing off? That person Xuancheng is Xiao Rui's father-in-law, and if he goes, he won't be said to be abolishing his public for personal reasons?

At this time, Du Ruhui whispered, "Your Majesty will definitely agree to Xuancheng." Because His Majesty is also the father-in-law of Lord Hou. ”

This......

The crowd couldn't help but laugh again.

On the Taiji Palace, seeing the folds in his hands and Wei Zheng's request, Emperor Li Er also scolded angrily, are Li Jing and Xiao Rui crazy? Still fighting? If you continue to fight, there will be no family foundation left in Datang, all of them will be in trouble, and if you don't have a family background, you just wait to be targeted by the wolves around you.

"Xuancheng, you go in person, take my gold medal to order the arrow to go north to Yanzhou, go directly to the front line to recall the army, and declare a boycott! If you are not satisfied, you can dispose of it with the camera. ”

"Especially Xiao Rui, who is stunned, you have to tie me back even if you tie it up."

Wei Zheng gladly accepted the order.

Zhang Shigui stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Xuanjia Army has requested to go north with Wei Xiang, the prince and the princess have been sent back, and there is no special person around the Hou Ye to protect it, we ......"

Fang Er hurriedly shouted: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty, the last general is Brother Xiao's personal guard, you must go." ”

Li Er waved his hand and said, "No need." Without a big war, wouldn't tens of thousands of troops be able to protect Xiao Rui? They did not dare not disobey my orders. You will go back and rest for a while, and in the evening the palace will hold a banquet to celebrate everyone's success. ”

After sending off this group of generals, Li Er summoned Tang Jian to exercise the festival group to appease them for a while, and also invited them to participate in the celebration banquet in the evening.

All this was arranged, and Li Ercai left the Taiji Hall and rushed to the Lizheng Hall to visit his children.

In the Lizheng Palace, Li Chengqian told his mother about his wanderings, and the queen's tears never stopped.

The emperor walked quickly, but stopped at the door, signaled the palace maid not to report, and listened quietly to his son's narration according to the concern in his heart, at this moment he was more like a father, more than an emperor.

Hearing that he was chased and hid in the Qinghe Cui clan, Li Er's murderous aura reappeared, it seems that he has to kill another batch of Fan Yang Lu clan and Xingyang Zheng clan, dare to kill my son? If you don't take revenge, you swear not to be a man!

"So, it really wasn't Jieli who deliberately kidnapped you? Is that Goguryeo? What a guts! Li Er couldn't help but step in.

Li Chengqian was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up, weakly not daring to say a word.

Xiao Changle pounced happily: "Father, ......"

Li Er picked up his daughter, and originally wanted to reprimand him, but now he turned into joy, pinched his daughter's little nose, and doted: "You girl, it's getting more and more disagreeable." Did you learn to run away from home with your brother? Tomorrow he will be punished with him. ”

Xiao Changle said arrogantly: "I don't want it, I still have to return to the battlefield to fight." He's a general now! It was personally appointed by Marshal Li Jing. ”

Fight?

Li Er laughed and said, "No need to fight. I have sent a decree to call out the troops and call everyone back. You don't have to go any further. ”

The queen reprimanded: "That is, what kind of system does a girl's family have to fight and kill?" From now on, I will stay in the palace and study hard. ”

Xiao Changle didn't dare to contradict his mother, so he could only pout and whisper: "Listen to Uncle Ma, Aunt Pingyang is the most powerful female general......"

Li Er and his wife both heard it, glanced at each other, and sighed helplessly: "Then it will also wait for you to grow up." ”

Xiao Changle stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to pout again.

Li Er hugged his daughter and sat on his lap, and motioned for the queen and the crown prince to sit down as well, "Cheng Qian, let's talk about it, how are you doing in Turkic?" ”

Li Chengqian calmed down and told the experience in the Turkic camp in 1510, not daring to lie, nor did he think about lying. He felt that he would rather die than give in, at least he did not embarrass his father.

Sure enough, Li Er, who had never praised his son in person, nodded and praised: "Okay, it is worthy of our Li family's species." If you really don't succeed and obey Jieli, you are not my son. It was in vain that we could rescue you with all our might. ”

Li Chengqian said sadly: "What my father taught me is. It's the child who is ignorant, he has caused such a big disaster, in order to save me, so many soldiers have been sacrificed on the front line, the child is uneasy, he must study hard in the future, and seriously compensate them in the future. ”

Li Er nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, it's finally grown." Did your brother-in-law teach this? ”

Li Chengqian shook his head, "My brother-in-law taught me, but I was ignorant before and didn't like to listen to it." Later, in the Turks, I met the military advisor Zhao Deyan, who also taught, and he taught me that there is no natural distinction between high and low, don't treat others as people, and don't treat yourself too much. ”

"Yesterday's preciousness may not be today's slut; Yesterday's cheapness may not be able to become today's upstart. ”

"Expensive and cheap are just the identity when you were born, and the expensive ones you were born may not be because you are really expensive. Being cheap in life is not necessarily doomed to being cheap in life. The sky is not expensive, but it is often cheap. Those who are not worthy of virtue will be exchanged sooner or later. ”

Li Er stroked his palms and praised: "It's a good sentence 'The sky is not expensive and self-respecting, but it is often cheap and self-deprecating'!" Although this Zhao Deyan is a Han defector, he is really a capable teacher. It's a pity that it can't be used by me, so I voted for it. ”

"My son's trip has made great progress! You can study for ten years behind closed doors. I am very relieved! ”

At this time, someone outside announced: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, Princess Xiangcheng asks to see you." ”

"Oh? Xiangcheng? She got the news so quickly. Let her in. ”

Xiao Changle hurriedly trotted out, "I'll pick up Sister Xiangcheng." ”
