Good news from the front
Since the official sent by the imperial court to Huichang has arrived, then Yongnu should not be far away.
After all, the time of the two cities was similar, and the reports handed to the imperial court were also sent one after another, sure enough, in less than two days, Yuwen Zen Master also returned, and the imperial court sent capable officials and thousands of soldiers and horses.
Chang'an, Qixiamen, or the city gate Lang Wang Ping, was pacing at the city gate with his hands behind his back, watching his subordinates check the people entering and leaving the city.
Chang'an, the first city in the world, does not seem to be affected by the beacon fire in the northern Xinjiang, each living in peace, each working happily, and the people coming and going are as busy as ever.
Wang Ping came down to inspect and saw that there was nothing to do, and he was resting for a while in the city tower, when suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves.
Wang Ping turned around to look, only to see a brown-clothed knight coming on horseback, and before Wang Ping could speak, a subordinate stepped forward a few steps and shouted: "Dismount and accept the interrogation."
I saw that the knight's horse was not slowing down, but he took out a small flag from his bosom with one hand, stuck it in the horse's neck, and shouted: "Get out of the way quickly, the front line is good, and the prince recovers Changzhou; The front line was a good news, and the prince recovered the ...... of Changzhou". The knight shouted all the way to the city gates.
When the city gatekeeper saw the small flag, he flashed it and shouted, "Let it go." Then I was stunned and happy when I heard that, what? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince regained Changzhou?
Changzhou seems to be a big county, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made such a great contribution, won't the traitor be finished soon......
The things that the city gate guards thought in their heads for a moment also represented what everyone present was thinking, and suddenly, there was a burst of cheers, high-fives, after all, for the people who have had several years of peace, those traitors who provoked war and rebellion deserve to die, and Wang Ping sent the knight straight to the imperial city, and he also clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were full of agitation, and then he sighed helplessly, yesterday's victory, General Wei Chi killed more than 1,000 Turkic elite cavalry, and captured the Turkic general Ashdewumo sob, Today, it was reported that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had recovered Changzhou City, and the heroes were all making meritorious contributions, and they couldn't wait to lead the horses with them.
On the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin smiled, looking at the princes and ministers who were gathered in the hall, it was you who were arguing, but what they were arguing about was the reward for Wei Chigong, Yu Chigong won a game in Jingyang, and captured the Turkic general, this is a good thing worth celebrating, and meritorious service will naturally be rewarded, but how to reward the law is controversial.
Someone proposed to add a fiefdom, after all, Yu Chigong has been ranked as the duke, and the title cannot be promoted again, so he can only be promoted to the fiefdom, which is also the most common reward for the prince of the country, directly to the most real, fiefdom.
But there are also people who object, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, Wei Chi Gonggong was rated first, this fiefdom was originally a lot, and if the reward was given, it was about to surpass the prince, which was not in line with the ceremony, and it was for this matter that they quarreled.
But Li Shimin is very happy to see this, after all, it is a reward, not a punishment, if you want to reward it, it means that there are courtiers who have made commendable contributions, and if it is a punishment, it is not beautiful.
In the end, seeing that there was a dispute, and Changshi Fang Du and other bigwigs were unwilling to meddle in this trivial matter, and they also turned a blind eye to the fake sleep, Li Shimin had to say with a smile: "The matter of rewarding, I'm afraid that Jingde is not your heart, haha, this matter is not in a hurry, and it is not too late to reward Jingde after he retreats from the Turks and returns to the court."
Everyone saw that the boss had spoken, and they also responded, and at this moment, they only heard a loud shout from far and near, "Good news from the front, the prince has recovered Changzhou." This shout only sounded in front of the Tai Chi Hall and resounded throughout the entire hall.
And the attendants in front of the palace saw that they had to report urgently, and they didn't dare to delay, so they hurriedly entered the palace and said: "Your Majesty, the front line is urgent."
Everyone in the hall had long been attracted by that shout, and Li Shimin was the same, so he raised his hand and said, "Hurry up."
The knight entered the hall with a burst of dust, and when he entered the hall, he bowed in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, good news from the front, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has recovered Changzhou."
With that, he took out the cylinder from his bosom.
When everyone heard this accurate report, they couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and Li Shimin hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Submit it."
Wang Jingzhong hurriedly went down to present it, Li Shimin opened it and took a look, and when he saw it, he stroked his beard and laughed, "Haha, my son is good, and I am like Yingguo."
After that, he looked at the courtiers again, "Haha, the princes, the prince persuaded the defenders of Changzhou to surrender on the fourth day, and recovered Changzhou without abandoning a single soldier, and since then the eastern part of Youzhou has returned to the king."
The ministers were shocked when they heard this, and then they celebrated with their crowns and shouted praise.
After cheering, someone came out and said: "Your Majesty, Changzhou has been recovered, the southeast gateway of the king thief Youzhou has been lost, and the day of defeat is not far away."
Everyone nodded and agreed, and Li Shimin also smiled when he heard it: "In this way, then there will be Lao Keming to select capable officials to go to Changzhou." Li Shimin smiled at Du Ruhui in the hall and said with a smile, but this was a joke all the way, because before Li Pojun Lianke Huichang, Yongnu County was selected by Du Ruhui, the official of the Ministry of Shangshu, and then decided by Li Shimin.
Du Ruhui smiled when he heard this, and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a cough, Li Shimin saw that his heart was pinched, and he waved his hand and said, "Bring a cup of warm water." Wang Jingzhong on the side was busy going to the side to get a glass of warm water and respectfully handed it to Du Ruhui, all the ministers looked at it with envy, Du Ruhui took a sip of warm water, only then calmed down, and bowed straight to him: "This minister has internal affairs." As he spoke, he coughed again.
Li Shimin couldn't bear it when he saw this, thinking that Du Ruhui was not in good health now, and if he served as the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers with a lot of complicated things, his body might not be able to bear it, and he was worried about it in his heart.
Then the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made this special achievement, and according to the nature of Wang Junkuo, he will be angry and angry, lest Wang Junkuo raise troops in Changzhou in anger, or it may be unfavorable to the prince."
When the ministers heard this, their personal reactions were different, some thought it was true, and some felt that the matter was not so serious.
Gao Shilian also hurriedly bowed and said: "What the auxiliary machine said is very true, Wang Junkuo is violent and impermanent, and now the prince is victorious, he must be extremely hateful, or he will attack Changzhou, and ask His Majesty to order troops to help the prince."
Seeing that this old uncle Gao Shilian echoed the words of his nephew Sun Wuji, worried about his nephew Li Pojun, Li Shimin also smiled, but he didn't seem so worried.
Sure enough, Fang Xuanling went straight out of the class and said: "Hehe, don't worry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be in danger."
