Chapter 240: The Prisoner Sacrifice Ceremony
();
The city of Gaochang has now become very strange, and the once lively street market and the joy of defeating the coalition army have become a thing of the past. It is estimated that who told Li Dongsheng about drowning tens of thousands of prisoners, and everyone's feelings for Li Dongsheng immediately changed from love to awe, he can summon the devil and kill tens of thousands of people, it is terrible.
Some residents of Gaochang City have said that Li Dongsheng is the spokesman of the evil devil, and he came to the Western Regions to absorb people's souls. In the past, everyone selectively forgot about the welfare benefits that Li Dongsheng created for them. Some of them were done by the spies of the Tibetan Turks, and some of them were spread by falsehoods, and everyone was afraid anyway.
The soldiers of the firearms battalion worship their own commanders even more, they have a backhand at critical times, they can win battles, and they are ruthless, killing tens of thousands of people without changing their faces, but they love the nurses and soldiers, and they have a black pot to come by themselves, so the commander doesn't love it? You say that he is the spokesman of the devil, and we love the devil. Isn't being a soldier just to be able to develop and let your family live a good life, no matter what others think, anyway, we will do what our Hou Ye says we will do.
The pieces that Wei Chi Baolin bought with Xi Jun were still sent out, and they were forced to write them by Li Dongsheng, because in this way they could take out all the people from the firearms battalion, and they didn't think about themselves but also for those soldiers.
Xiao Yu, who is on duty in the political hall today, is old, and when Li Dongsheng went to Lingnan to do things, he handed in his name, and exposed all the old bottoms of his family's forces in Jiangnan to Li Shimin, and then got this reward and became a prime minister. Now he doesn't have any views on government affairs, just thinking about continuing the family, but it's a pity that the younger generations are withering, and there is nothing to do politically, the most capable son is a little stronger in business, if he goes to the court, he is estimated to be played to death, and he doesn't know what's going on.
The early winter sun shone on his body through the window, warm and very comfortable, Xiao Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then suddenly thought that this glass window and tea were made by Li Dongsheng, and this guy went to the Western Regions and was silent. Last time, it was said that 1,000 people defeated 20,000 Turkic cavalry, but this time Gaochang City was surrounded by 60,000 coalition troops, and I don't know what the situation of the battle is, I hope he can withstand it, otherwise this industry is estimated to be targeted by others.
At this time, I heard cheers from the door of the political affairs hall, Xiao Yu's brows furrowed, when Fang Xuanling was on duty, the political affairs hall was solemn and atmospheric, and the old man was on duty, and you were in a loud noise, did you think the old man's methods were not ruthless enough? Just as he was thinking about how to pack up a few people to show his authority, the door curtain was lifted suddenly, and the voice of joy came in before the people entered: "My lord, the Western Regions have won a great victory, the siege of Gaochang City has been lifted, our army has killed a total of 30,000 coalition troops, captured more than 20,000 prisoners, the Tubo lord Sambu was killed in battle, and the Western Regions lord General Reyeji was captured. ”
"So exaggerated?" Xiao Yu also broke out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and was a little surprised when he heard this battle report: "We only have more than 20,000 reinforcements, and now our combat effectiveness is so strong?" Bring me the battle report. ”
"It's good, Li Dongsheng is a weak scholar, and he can withstand a month's time, he really deserves to be a descendant of Duke Wei, and he has his demeanor." Xiao Yu applauded after reading the battle report: "Your Majesty, where did you receive the news?" ”
"Roger!" The little official replied: "The military information is transmitted to Your Majesty as soon as possible. ”
Xiao Yu nodded and smiled: "That's good, Your Majesty should have a headache now." ”
"Headache?" The little official still didn't understand what it meant: "Your Majesty should be happy if you win the battle, how can you have a headache?" ”
Xiao Yu didn't mean to explain to these little officials, so she turned her head and began to think about the problem: None of the juniors in his family have any talents, can he find an outsider? Li Dongsheng is dignified, both civil and military, rich in family assets, and deeply favored by His Majesty, he is a good candidate, he is only in his twenties is the Hou Ye, this time he has made great contributions, and the future is limitless, is it a pity that this kid is already married, otherwise if he marries a junior woman, the Xiao family will be worry-free for decades. But it's not impossible now, this guy has one wife and two concubines, or should he find a concubine from a concubine for him?
When Xiao Yu was still thinking about the family, there was already a burst of cheers in the court, in the past few years, the Tang Dynasty soldiers have been invincible, and everyone is no longer as excited as when they first eliminated the Eastern Turks, many people have become calm, thinking that the victory of the Tang Dynasty should be, but this time is different, thousands of people held a lonely city to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of people, and then they wiped out the enemy with the support of reinforcements, what kind of credit is this?
Li Shimin was smiling, and Li Dongsheng and the firearms battalion gave him a long face. This unit was directly established by Li Shimin, and several battles were large-scale kills and wounds of the enemy, showing strong combat effectiveness and fully demonstrating his vision as an emperor. After accepting the sycophants of the ministers, Li Shimin returned to the dormitory, and then began to worry, Li Dongsheng's credit is too great, how to reward it?
Last time, Pu Changhai's exploits in the first battle were rewarded to his family, and now there is a bigger credit, isn't it embarrassing. In his twenties, he was promoted to a sixth-grade official, and he became a marquis again, and now he is rewarded for his merits? Last time, I deliberately transferred the credit, what should I do this time?
"Alas!" Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh.
"Father, why are you frowning again? Isn't there something you're not happy about? A frequent frown will age quickly! A little girl's voice came, and then her gentle little hand pressed to her brow.
"Okay, listen to you. It's really my little padded jacket. Li Shimin's teeth bared out with a smile, since the death of Empress Changsun, Princess Jinyang was personally brought by him, and now his daughter is so close to him, it is really his greatest pleasure in his busy work.
The corners of the crown prince Li Chengqian's mouth, who was following him, twitched twice, and he stepped forward and saluted: "See my father!" ”
Li Shimin, who was disturbed by the joy of family, asked with a very ugly face: "What are you doing here?" What's the matter? "Now Li Shimin has a great opinion of Li Chengqian, especially after he broke his leg while riding a horse last year, he is lame when he walks, how can the prince be lame? Therefore, he became more and more reluctant to see Li Chengqian.
Recently, he has heard a lot of bad things about the prince, what kind of strange personality, male sex or something, and he is even more disgusted in his heart, seeing that his tone is very bad in front of him.
Princess Jinyang hurriedly rounded the field and said coquettishly: "Brother Crown Prince must have something to find you, didn't my father just say that you want to calm down!" After speaking, give Li Chengqian a look, and you can say it quickly. After all, he is the brother of a fellow mother, and he must help if there is something.
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly in his heart, he, the dignified prince, the heir of the Tang Dynasty, spoke to his father and emperor and asked his sister to create conditions, he suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart: "Father, now that Chang'an City heard about the great victory in the Western Regions, everyone is excited, and wants to organize a prisoner sacrifice ceremony when the firearms battalion is in charge, hoping that my father will agree." "I want to talk about "The Silly Son of the Tang Landlord's Family" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "Youyue Literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
