Chapter 462: Loyalty
Li Chengqian sighed and said:
"Alas~~~ When my Tang Dynasty was just established, there were rebellions everywhere in the country, and Aya was ordered to lead the army to annihilate Xue Ju, but he didn't expect Xue Ju to set up an ambush halfway,
Aya was unprepared to be killed, and Aya was also besieged, and the situation was very critical.
At that time, Dang Renhong's eldest son resisted desperately, and was hit by more than ten arrows, and died instantly.
Dang Renhong couldn't care about his grief, rushed into battle and killed, only to cover Aya's retreat, and finally broke through safely.
And Dang Renhong's second son also followed Aya soldiers to Luoyang City and besieged Wang Shichong.
At that time, Wang Shichong was closed, Aya was ready to attack, and Dang Renhong's second son took the lead to establish immortal feats for Aye, and put the Tang Dynasty banner on the head of Luoyang City!
During the siege charge, he was pierced through the chest with a spear. Dang Renhong handed over his dying youngest son to Aya, and then rushed to kill again.
Aya said that he was holding Dang Renhong's second son at the time, and saw that his lips were silent, but his eyes kept looking at Dang Renhong,
Aya knew that he wanted to say that he would never be able to fulfill his filial piety in the future, and hoped that Aya could take care of Dang Renhong.
Aya nodded at him, and he slowly died in Aye's arms.
At that time, Aya secretly swore that he must take good care of Dang Renhong. for he has these two sons. They all died for Ayah. ”
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, there was some tragedy in his tone, they died for the construction of the Tang Dynasty, they were heroic martyrs, and Dang Renhong was dissatisfied with the tyranny of the former Sui Dynasty, so he took refuge in Li Yuan.
Li Shen also admired it after hearing it, no matter what others thought, but Li Shen, as Li Tang's royal family, felt that Dang Renhong really deserved this treatment.
"Big brother, I know how to do it, I will personally deal with this matter, give him a decent culpability, and let him retire with the fifth brother,
This can be regarded as my Li family's reward for him, if he still has children, I will exonerate him from the crime, and the crime will not be as good as his family. ”
Li Shen said to Li Chengqian, this is also what he decided after knowing the truth,
Li Chengqian nodded,
"This is the best, our Li family is not Han Gaozu."
However, Li Chengqian continued to ask:
"You plan to do it yourself, what about the Goguryeo thing, you don't plan to go back to Goguryeo?"
Li Shen smiled slightly:
"I'm definitely going back, I still have to go over there and have something to do, but it may be a little later, big brother, rest assured that now that the old devil Cheng Yanjin is there, no one can disobey your orders."
Aya asked this old devil to go to give you a foothold, without Aya's checks and balances, Lu Guogong can do anything.
Big brother, Lu Guogong is not simple, thoughtful, and scary, his mix is just pretending, don't be deceived by him, in fact, he understands better than anyone else.
People are careless and careful. ”
Li Shen's words made Li Chengqian fall into deep thought,
"Big brother, don't think about it, this old guy knows how to judge the situation and make trade-offs, you can rest assured that you can use him.
Several generals who followed Aya could use it, but Hou Junji couldn't, Li Jing said that he had a backbone in the back of his head and couldn't be entrusted with a heavy task.
However, they are all old now, it is better to train the younger generation, like Pei Xingjian, as well as Su Dingfang, Niu Jinda, and the children of several national families in Yucai. ”
"You mean your son-in-law?" Li Chengqian asked.
"That's right, Goguryeo hasn't been discovered by the eldest brother for so long, Pei Xingjian is a talent, if you don't want it, then let him come to my guard camp, I give more treatment than the army." Li Shen nodded.
"Who said I don't want to, you have a Xue Rengui who has already made Aya greedy, and you still want to dig people? Beware of being chastised by Ayah. Li Chengqian immediately quit, after he succeeded to the throne, the veteran generals are all old, how can he do it if he doesn't train some young generals.
The two brothers chatted a few more words, and the princess came over to say that the meal was ready.
When the two came to the front hall, Li Shen saw a large table of dishes.
"Huh?? Where do you get the greens, and there are so many types? Li Chengqian asked when he saw the green oil on the table.
"It was sent by the tenth brother, and there are several carts, and now they are all in the cellar," the princess replied.
"Tenth brother, you are really a man of God, you really planted it, last year you said that you planted vegetables in the yard, Aya and I both thought it was impossible. I really didn't expect it. ”
Li Chengqian circled around the table and looked at every dish.
"Big brother, this is the power of craftsmen, do you say that you can eat food by reading sage books?" Li Shen did not forget to remind Li Chengqian at any time.
"Well, it's really magical, and you have the financial resources to mess around." Li Chengqian nodded.
"Big brother, how can this be foolishness, look at the current Chang'an, my carriage workshop has been built, and each carriage can carry three or four thousand catties,
This is several times the size of the previous carriage, and now it is still being developed and improved, and my goal is 10,000 catties.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs has already ordered 500 carriages from us, which will be used when we go to Goguryeo in the spring of next year.
It can carry more food and supplies. ”
Li Shen began to output for a while at Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and finally he was powerless to refute it, and turned into two words:
"Eat."
This meal was eaten for half an hour, and neither of them drank alcohol, Li Chengqian still had to review the recital in the afternoon, and Li Shen didn't like to drink.
After eating, Li Shen said goodbye, and Li Chengqian sent his family to the gate.
"By the way, big brother, how is the orphanage we built?" Li Shen suddenly thought of this question,
At that time last year, because there was no place, they ended up temporarily resettled in the princess's mansion in Linchuan, but later the two brothers went to Goguryeo.
When he came back, Li Shen didn't hear any movement next door, so he forgot about it.
"Tenth brother, rest assured, this matter has been arranged, the shopkeeper of your house bought a few adjacent houses in Chang'an and opened up the courtyard wall.
Some of the retired maids in the palace, who had no livelihood, were arranged there and paid a salary every month.
Your sister-in-law still goes to see it from time to time, so you can rest assured. ”
"Yes, tenth brother, don't worry, I sometimes have nothing to do, and I will go to see, not long ago, Dingniang also ordered someone to send a large number of bedding and cotton clothes, as well as a fire kang, these children will not be cold and hungry." Su Shi also chimed in.
Li Shen also nodded after hearing this, Li Shen has no pressure at all to raise these children, and a mirror is enough for these children for a month's expenses.
Li Shen was relieved to get into his carriage and go home.
Back in the palace, Li Shen came to the back house, and Lu Dingniang was chatting with Wu Meiniang, who had a big belly.
Seeing Li Shen coming back, he greeted him and changed his clothes.
"Lord Wang, how many houses have left today." Lu Dingniang asked.
"Just the eldest sister and eldest brother, I'll accompany you to Lufu tomorrow, you haven't been home for a long time."
