The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng experienced a series of bloody battles since they were stationed in the city, and finally relied on the earth-shattering explosion outside the city of Bingzhou to completely disintegrate the offensive of the Turkic army, and then Jieli Khan, who received the news, hurriedly sent an envoy to Chang'an to negotiate peace, and then left a small force to withdraw hastily.

After a series of battles, the soldiers under the command of the generals of the Qin Wangfu suffered numerous injuries, and the Tiance army from afar was also reduced.

After returning to Chang'an, Chu Mofeng went straight back to the mansion, while Li Shimin returned to the Chengqian Hall with Li Yuan's imperial chariot.

In a house in the side hall of the East Palace, the crown prince Li Jiancheng, who had returned to Chang'an from Fengzhou earlier, was sitting around with his younger brother Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, eating and drinking.

Putting the wine glass in his hand on the table, Li Jiancheng sighed and said: "This time, I let those two people pick up a big bargain, and a big battle indirectly prompted the Turks to withdraw their troops, what a great feat." ”

Looking at Li Jiancheng, who was angry, Li Yuanji took a sip of wine and said slowly: "Big brother, you said that this Turkic is too, why is it so useless, if it is ......"

Before Li Yuanji's words were finished, Li Jiancheng raised his fingers and made a silent gesture, then listened attentively, and after finding that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said: "Since he is back, then the father emperor should not send him out to fight for a period of time, we have to think carefully about how to deal with him." ”

"Looking for an excuse to say that he intends to rebel?" Li Jiancheng thought for a moment, and said a little sinisterly: "After all, his Qin Palace's mansion now looks like a small yamen, and there should be dead soldiers in the mansion." ”

Listening to Li Jiancheng's seemingly shrewd but stupid words, Li Yuanji glanced at him angrily, thinking to himself, big brother, you are really a little panicked, you can also think of this kind of idiot-like idea, a person who is desperate for the Tang Dynasty, you falsely accuse him of rebellion, do you think your father is as stupid as you?

Thinking of this, Li Yuanji smiled first, then picked up his wine glass and made a gesture of invitation to Li Jiancheng, and said with a little meaning: "In fact, no matter what crime he is accused, this matter cannot be brought forward by us or our subordinates, and the best way is those people." After speaking, he pointed in the direction of the harem.

Seeing this, Li Jiancheng responded with understanding, and then said with a strange smile: "Then are you going to say this matter or am I going to say it?"

I saw Li Yuanji show an expression of 'I understand', and said with a slight joke: "Didn't the eldest brother just go a few days ago? ”

Li Jiancheng nodded unwillingly when he heard this, and said, "Okay, then I'll leave everything to my younger brother." After speaking, he and Li Yuanji drank freely through the boundless night.

Just when the two were plotting together, they didn't know that a thin figure outside the door had already memorized the conversation between the two word for word, and then quietly left the place, disappearing into the boundless night.

On the morning of the second day, the Tang Emperor Li Yuan ordered a large reward for the meritorious ministers who fought against the Turks in various prefectures and provinces, and the top of the list was Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who was stationed in the state, and Chu Mofeng, the duke of Qi, who was stationed in the state.

After all, in October of the fourth year of Wude (621), Li Shimin was named the general of Tiance, led Situ and Shaanxi Dongdao Daxing Taishang Shuling, and was located on the prince, and the number of restaurants increased to 30,000, and Li Yuan issued an edict to authorize Tiance Mansion to purchase its own official subordinates. At this time, because of the new achievements made in resisting the Turks, Li Yuan didn't know how to reward him for a while.

Looking at Li Yuan, who was embarrassed on the dragon chair, Li Shimin stepped forward and said to Li Yuan: "Qi Qi father, the son is the son of the father, since the father is the lord of the world, then as the son of the father, it is within the son's duty to fight for the father, let alone the reward." ”

Seeing Li Shimin so upright, Li Yuan immediately frowned and said with a smile: "Erlang's words are wrong, if everyone is like you and don't want to be rewarded, even if my father is a little relieved in his heart, but it can't chill your hearts, since this is the case, then I will increase the rewards of the soldiers under your command." ”

After listening to Li Yuan's words, Li Shimin immediately knelt down and said, "Erchen thanks Your Majesty for the soldiers under his command." ”

Looking at the thin young man in front of him, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt in his heart, from the leader of the army Li Yuan learned about the tragedy of the three battles in Bingzhou, his son fought abroad in obscurity, but after returning to Beijing, he refused to be rewarded, what an excellent character, but he was always suspicious of him, thinking of this Li Yuan couldn't help but show a trace of remorse on his face.

And Chu Mofeng, who was standing with his hands tied on the side, saw the expression on Li Yuan's face, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, it seems that Li Laoer's acting skills are really good, and he really deceived Li Yuan, only in this way can Li Yuan feel guilty in his heart, and at the same time, he will not be deceived by the two bastards Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

Thinking of this, Chu Mofeng showed a trace of joy on his face, and he never wanted to be caught by Li Yuan, who had come back to his senses, and immediately coughed lightly and asked, "Why is Qi Guogong always smiling, I don't know why I am happy?"

"Your Majesty, the minister just heard that His Royal Highness the King of Qin should not be rewarded, and he couldn't help but think of what His Royal Highness the King of Qin said in Bingzhou City at that time. Hearing Li Yuan call his name, Chu Mofeng hurriedly flashed out, and said to Li Yuan: "This time, my Tang soldiers are united in their hearts, and with the blessing of Your Majesty, this is the reason why the Turks have been defeated. ”

Li Yuan's face was stunned, and he asked in surprise: "I wonder what Erlang said to make your kid remember?"

I saw Chu Mofeng tidy up his court clothes, and said loudly to Li Yuan: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin said, 'If my Tang Dynasty boy fights to the death and does not retreat, those who commit crimes against me in the Central Plains will be punished even if they are far away!'"

Listening to Chu Mofeng's sonorous and powerful words, everyone present was moved, and Li Yuan stood up with a pat on the dragon chair and said loudly: "Okay, good spirit, my people of the Tang Dynasty should have this kind of momentum, this sentence is good, I am very happy." ”

After listening to Chu Mofeng's words, everyone couldn't help but secretly slander in their hearts, who said that this kid was just a martial idiot who could fight, you see that these words not only pointed out the exploits of King Qin in Bingzhou, but also indirectly patted His Majesty's sycophants, you see that Your Majesty is so happy that you can't close your mouth.

Then Li Yuan said with a smile: "My people in the Tang Dynasty know it, but whenever you fight with Erlang and lead the troops, you are always invincible, I heard that the people have long worshiped you as a military god-like figure, I have also heard about the garrison and annexation of the state, you have led the troops to kill several times, and have been in danger several times but have not retreated, I am also honored to have a horse like you." ”

I saw Li Yuan turn sideways and say to Wang De behind him: "Spread my will, Jin conferred the Duke of Qi Chu Mofeng as the king of Zhangye, 20,000 taels of food, and the same should be done according to the rules, the title is hereditary and given Danshu iron coupons, allowing him to retain his original surname, and the imperial court will no longer add the surname of the country, and at the same time give it Zhangye County, the state seat of governance, as a fief, and the people of the Tang Dynasty in the fief will be exempted from taxes for three years. ”

As soon as these words came out, the court was suddenly shocked, Li Jiancheng was already stunned at this time, and Wei Zheng on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the opposite sex has not been crowned king, and the minister implores Your Majesty to think twice." As soon as Wei Zheng's voice fell, a group of Li Jiancheng's vassals came out and knelt down and said: "Wei Xian Ma's words are reasonable, and the ministers and others seconded the proposal, I hope Your Majesty will think twice." ”

Looking at the kneeling ministers below, a look of displeasure flashed on Li Yuan's face, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Chen Shuda, who was then the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, walk out of the queue and arch his hand to Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is nothing wrong with Your Majesty's move. ”

After speaking, he said to the kneeling ministers: "Don't forget, colleagues, this is the eighth year of Tang Wude, and if today's master is Your Majesty, do you still remember the former Sui since ancient times?"

If you continue to advise, it is not in response to Chen Shuda's words, and you will never forget the former Sui, and your majesty will be furious at that time, and your own life may not be saved; Thinking about it, he stretched out his head and shrank his head, which suddenly made the person kneeling on the ground difficult.

Who knew that Wei Zheng's eyes turned to Chen Shuda and said: "Chen Shangshu is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, so he should know that the reward should be made according to the ceremony, since there was no such ceremony before, then Your Majesty should not set a precedent for the ancients, and if Chen Shangshu does not follow the etiquette law, it will be a bit dereliction of duty." ”

A sentence suddenly choked Chen Shuda, and he was speechless for a while, and a group of kneeling officials couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw this, Wei Zheng couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and was about to continue to speak to admonish, who knew that Changsun Wuji, the elder brother of Changsun Jiluo, suddenly stood up and said to Wei Zheng: "Wei Xian Ma, this official said something that should not be said, at this time His Majesty is ready to reward his own horse, this is His Majesty's family matter, Wei Xian Ma is neither an imperial family nor a national relative, wantonly interfering in His Majesty's family affairs, it is inevitably a bit arrogant, right?"

After listening to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Chen Shuda immediately organized the language and said: "Wei Xian Ma, if you want to discuss the etiquette with the official, the official will ask you, Your Majesty is the master of the world, you and I are Your Majesty's courtiers, and the courtiers are servants, when does the master need to do things according to the wishes of the servants, besides, you are just the prince washing the horse, if Your Majesty's will is not in line with the etiquette law, it should also be advised by me, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, are you a little overstepping your authority?"

The eldest grandson Wuji and Chen Shuda immediately choked Wei Zheng speechless, while Li Yuan in the court applauded faintly in his heart, looking at the ministers who were still kneeling under the hall, Li Yuan thought to himself, you people, as long as I reward Chu Xiaozi and Erlang, you will jump out and oppose it, thinking that I don't know that you have long been the head of the prince? If you can defeat the Turks, I will definitely not reward them, I have no ability to only shout here, a group of rice buckets.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan snorted coldly and said: "Chen Shangshu is reasonable, I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the etiquette that the ancients did not have, as long as it is reasonable and reasonable, I am willing to set a precedent, the edict will be issued in accordance with my will, and all of you kneeling in the court today will be halved for three consecutive years." The eldest grandson Wuji and Chen Shuda were reasonable, and rewarded a pair of jade Ruyi and 20 silk horses. In addition, in view of the frequent wars at the border passes, King Zhangye was allowed to send his subordinates to the fiefdom to govern instead of him. Retreat. With that, he flicked his sleeves and walked towards the apse.

As Li Yuan left, a few people who were still kneeling in the court sat on the ground like mourners, looking at the ground with empty eyes and not knowing what they were thinking, while the crown prince Li Jiancheng, who was standing with his hands tied, had a blue and white face that kept changing.

I saw Li Shimin go straight to Chu Mofeng, stretched out his hand and punched him and said: "Okay, boy, you have a different surname and a fief, you are still the first one in the Tang Dynasty." ”

Who knew that Chu Mofeng glanced at Li Jiancheng in the distance, and then pulled Li Shimin out, and when he came to the outside of the main hall, Chu Mofeng said to Li Shimin: "My Royal Highness the King of Qin, you still don't think it's big enough, right? I didn't see that the face of the prince was like opening a dyeing workshop, and you still stimulated him." ”

"Alas, what are you talking about, let's go, today you have been rewarded, it's time for you to be treated. Seeing this, Li Shimin showed a disdainful expression and said, "Think about where we are going to have a few drinks?"

Chu Mofeng thought for a moment and said: "I suggest that you invite Chen Shangshu and Lord Eldest Sun to go together, today's incident seems to be that the two of them are helping me, but in fact they are helping you, after all, I can only help you if I get benefits, so you should thank the two of them in person." ”

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, and Chu Mofeng and the two went straight to the ministers' official sedan chair to wait, and after a while, they saw the eldest grandson Wuji and Chen Shuda coming together, and when they saw Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin standing in place, Chen Shuda smiled and said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Lord eldest grandson, you can still pinch and calculate, sure enough, His Royal Highness King Qin and His Royal Highness King Zhangye are waiting here." ”

I saw the eldest grandson Wuji smile and said to Li Shimin: "You can tell where you go, it's best to avoid the eyes and ears of some people." ”

Li Shimin turned his head to look at Chu Mofeng, only to see Chu Mofeng smile weirdly and said, "Go to Dongshi, there are a few good restaurants there, and they are absolutely safe." ”

The three of them nodded, each stepped on the official sedan chair, followed Chu Mofeng towards the East City, and came to a wine shop with an anonymous plaque hanging in the East City, Li Shimin and the three of them sent away the sedan chair driver, and walked straight in with Chu Mofeng.

As soon as he entered, the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and greeted: "Young Master Chu, and these guest officials, please, the small shop has food from the Western Regions, as well as orchid song and dance performances, do you need a single room or just sit in the hall?"

Looking at the bustling diners in the hall, Chu Mofeng nodded to the shopkeeper of the wine shop and said, "Give us a spacious private room, besides, Miss Mishana won't have time to perform for me today, right?"

I saw that the shopkeeper of the wine shop smiled slightly and said: "Where is Master Chu, Mishana has been talking to you for several days, and the villain will go to tell her later." ”

Chu Mofeng nodded when he saw this, and then led the three of them straight up to a single room on the second floor, and when Li Shimin passed by with the shopkeeper of the wine shop, he was surprised to find that this person was Mo Liluo from the previous Chang'an bombing, and he was about to exclaim, but was dragged upstairs by Chu Mofeng.

After entering the private room, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said to Chu Mofeng: "Your Highness seems to come to this wine shop often, seeing that the shopkeeper is so familiar with you, a regular customer, right?"

I saw Chu Mofeng smiling at the eldest grandson Wuji, revealing an expression that a man understands, while Chen Shuda on the side shook his head helplessly because of his age.

After the four of them sat down, after a while, several maids walked in with various delicacies, arranged the food, and then slowly withdrew. Seeing this, Chu Mofeng took the pot and poured the wine for the three of them, then raised his glass and said, "Today, I would like to thank the two adults for their words and efforts in the court, and this glass of wine is to respect the two adults." ”

When the three of them heard this, they drank this glass of wine, and at this time, there was a crisp knock at the door, and Chu Mofeng hurriedly asked, "Who is knocking outside?"

I only heard a glutinous voice with the atmosphere of the Western Regions coming from outside the door and said: "Young Master Chu, the slave Mishana came to perform singing and dancing for Young Master Chu and the distinguished guests. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Chu Mo walking to the door, stretched out his hand to open the door, and saw a woman wearing a veil and a bewitching figure standing outside the door, dressed as an orchid, followed by two women holding musical instruments.

I saw that the woman named Mi Shanna smiled slightly and said: "Chu Gongzi hasn't been to the wine shop for a long time, and I just heard that the shopkeeper said that you have arrived, and Mi Shanna was worried about Chu Gongzi in her heart, so she quickly came." ”

Listening to Mi Shanna's words, Chu Mofeng welcomed the three of them in with a smile, and then closed the door and said to Chen Shuda and the three of them: "Don't underestimate this wine shop without a store name, since the opening of the business, all the rich sons in Chang'an City who are a little famous are frequent customers here, and because Miss Mi Shanna's dancing is hard to find, many people may not be able to appreciate it even if they are rich." So blessed are the three of you today. ”

Who knew that after listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Mi Shanna smiled and said: "A few distinguished guests don't listen to the slave family of Chu Gongzi, the slave family has a posture of Pu Liu, this dance is only for people who are destined." ”

Then Chu Mofeng said with a smile: "Then there will be Miss Raumiana today." After saying that, he returned to his seat and began to enjoy Misanna's dance to the cheerful music of the Western Regions.

Just when Chu Mofeng was banqueting the eldest grandson Wuji and Chen Shuda in the name of Li Shimin, in the Tang Shuining Palace, Li Yuanji was a guest at Concubine Yin De at the moment, and at this moment, except for the two maids outside the door, all the servants of the entire Shuining Palace were sent to rest.

On the embroidered couch that only the emperor can climb, a dirty scene is being staged at the moment, two naked bodies are entangled together, I saw Li Yuanji hugging Concubine Yin Defei and whispering: "My eldest brother and I mean to find a way to count down King Qin in front of my father, but my eldest brother and I can't come forward in this matter, so we have to come to beg you." ”

Concubine Yin De, one of Li Yuan's favorite concubines, curled up in Li Yuanji's arms at the moment, and said without the slightest sense of shame: "It's okay, as long as your eldest brother remembers what he promised me and Zhang Jieyu." ”

"Don't worry, you are such a hurting little goblin, how can the eldest brother forget you. I saw Li Yuanji stretch out his hand and pinch Concubine Yin De's chin, and said obscenely: "Even if the eldest brother forgets you, I can't forget it." ”

I saw Concubine Yin Dejiao laughing, and then she was entangled with Li Yuanji again.

About an hour later, Li Yuanji left the Shui Ning Palace and went to the Shui Yu Palace alone to meet Zhang Jieyu, but the shameless scene of Fang Cai was not staged in the Shui Yu Palace, this is not Zhang Jieyu's self-love, but today coincides with Zhang Jieyu's unhappiness.

After listening to Li Yuanji's words, Zhang Jieyu said with a solemn face: "This matter can't be rushed, I think the palace begged His Majesty to give those good fields to my father, but the King of Qin gave the good fields to Li Shentong first, causing my father to always be depressed, so I hate the King of Qin to the core, but he returned this time with a great victory, and he can't do anything about it in a short time. ”

Li Yuanji nodded, and then left the Water Fluff Palace, maybe at this time he should not die, Li Yuanji just left with the front foot, Li Yuan drove to the Shui Yu Palace with the back foot, Zhang Jieyu, who got the news, hurriedly ordered someone to clean up the palace, and then waited for Li Yuan's arrival.

After Li Yuan entered the Shuixu Palace, he accepted the worship of Zhang Jieyu and a group of palace maids, and then went straight to the bed and lay down, and Zhang Jieyu consciously massaged Li Yuan.

I only heard Zhang Jieyu ask softly: "Why did Your Majesty have time to come here today?"

"I was a little bored in the imperial study, and suddenly I remembered my concubine, so I wanted to come and see you. Li Yuan, who closed his eyes and recuperated, said with endless exhaustion: "Order someone to prepare lunch, and I will rest here after I use it before returning to the imperial study." ”

Hearing that Li Yuan was going to eat here, Zhang Jieyu hurriedly ordered the palace maids around her to prepare, and then sat on the edge of the bed to massage Li Yuan's arms, pretending to say casually: "Your Majesty, the concubine will tell you something to relieve your boredom." ”

Li Yuan nodded and did not speak, and then Zhang Jieyu said softly: " A few days ago, the concubine's family entered the palace to visit the concubine, and told the concubine an interesting thing, saying that someone in Shandong has recently recruited local heroes with a large amount of wealth, and the concubine's family inquired in many ways and learned that these people are from the capital, and the recruited object inadvertently revealed, saying that the person who came was to recruit people to enter the capital to do big things, and the concubine didn't know what big things to do in the capital, but the concubine's family inquired about the name of the employer, and heard that it was called Zhang Da, and his brother seemed to be called Zhang Liang under the command of the Qin Wangfu. ”

As soon as Zhang Jieyu's words fell, Li Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and stood up and said, "Is this true?"

Zhang Jieyu was taken aback at first when she saw this, and then said with an innocent face: "Your Majesty, how could the concubine deceive you?"

Coincidentally, Li Shimin does have a man named Zhang Liang under his command, and this person also has a younger brother named Zhang Da, Zhang Da has been recruiting people in Shandong for a long time, but it is not for Li Shimin, because Zhang Da is also a wanderer, and recruiting people from the rivers and lakes is to fill the Tiance army, but this matter was told to Li Jiancheng by the spies hidden in the Qin Palace, and Li Jiancheng immediately told Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu through Li Yuanji.

As soon as Zhang Jieyu's words came out this time, Li Yuan was suddenly furious in his heart, thinking to himself, Erlang, you kid trust you so much, I didn't expect you to recruit people into Beijing behind my back, what are you doing in order to do it? There is nothing else to do in the capital except usurpation, thinking of this, Li Yuan got out of bed and left the Water Sump Palace with an angry face.

Looking at Li Yuan's departing figure, Zhang Jieyu showed an imperceptible smile on her face......

As the saying goes, guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, and look at Li Shimin in the imperial study, and then look at Chu Mofeng in Taiji Palace, who is amazing, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
