The seventy-eighth chapter the storm at the celebration banquet (2)
After speaking, Li Chengqian turned around and walked down the jade steps and continued: "The Tuyuhun army that invaded Minzhou raped and plundered in our land of the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that it is too long to describe. I really don't understand why I want to avenge them. Is Tang Qing's salary?
Tuyuhun hair."
Haha, haha... Li Chengqian's words amused the officials.
"Everyone is happy that we have won the battle. It is not worth it for those beasts to affect the mood of all the ministers. Your Majesty always encourages his ministers to speak out, but he must also check whether there is solid evidence. I think Tang Qing drank too much and said drunken words.
Right, Tang Qing."
Tang Lin just saw that Hou Junji dared to challenge him and knew that this matter was probably over tonight.
The witnesses haven't been sent yet, so isn't it a false accusation? When Li Chengqian said that he drank too much, he naturally replied: "Yes...yes...it's Wei Chen who drank too much.",
While talking, I wiped my sweat with my clothes.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile hoarsely. No wonder people say that the scholar failed to rebel for three years, and he didn't know how he trained such an ineffective subordinate.
From what the father said just now, we can tell that he also wants to make a big deal out of a big deal. By making a deal out of a trivial matter, it can be regarded as a warning to the person behind him. After all, he is his son. I hope he can take care of himself.
"Father, you see that Tang Qing also admitted that he made a drunken gaffe. Please consider that tonight is a celebration banquet, and please forgive him with small punishments and big warnings.
Tang Qing is a subordinate of Dali Temple, so I just handed him over to Dai Qing for strict discipline. I don’t know what my father thinks."
Seeing his son's general understanding, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction. It wasn't that he didn't know who the person behind Tang Lin was, but he just couldn't do anything about it.
"Well, what the prince said makes sense. I'm sure. Dai Zhou, I'll leave it to you. You need to train him well, how to live on the emperor's salary and take on the emperor's worries."
Seeing what the emperor said, Dai Zhou hurriedly came out and dragged this ignorant guy back. If he hadn't been afraid of disobeying the emperor, he would have slapped Tang Lin.
Aren’t you looking for death? Are you the one who can make the prince angry? Even the one behind you often suffers at the hands of this master. The impeacher doesn’t care about the occasion. Is tonight appropriate? Hou Junji
What is the relationship with the emperor? Is that something you can get involved in?
Besides, what's wrong with killing a few Tuyuhun barbarians? They are allowed to kill and set fire in the Tang Dynasty, but it's not okay for us to kill a few to vent our anger. This old boy must be crazy. No wonder he wasn't welcomed when he followed Li Jiancheng.
After Tang Lin's little episode passed, the atmosphere of the banquet became high again. Changsun Wuji took the opportunity to sit in front of Li Chengqian. He said leisurely: "Your Highness, Dai Zhou is not so ignorant."
Changsun Wuji was speaking for Dai Zhou. He was afraid that Li Chengqian would misunderstand that Dai Zhou was the one who instigated Tang Lin. Although Dai Zhou was a man of few words, he was directly selected from the top in terms of ability and loyalty. If he and Li Chengqian were to be together because of this matter
If Li Chengqian makes enemies, then the gains outweigh the losses.
Li Chengqian picked up the jug next to him and poured a glass for Changsun Wuji. Then he said: "Uncle, I'm worried too much. I know that Dai Zhou and him are not on the same side. Tang Lin turned out to be an old member of Jiancheng.
If you can take him under your father's nose, it's obvious who that person is, right? You don't look at my father and don't want to pursue it any further?"
"Besides, that child is still young, so just teach him a lesson. If I catch him and refuse to let him go, then my father should blame me, the eldest brother, for his disobedience."
Hearing what Li Chengqian said, Changsun Wuji let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that Dai Zhou had passed the test. However, his nephew was growing too fast, making it increasingly difficult for people to see through him.
In addition, this bloody battle in Minzhou not only allowed him to occupy a place in the army, but also tempered his domineering power in the mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.
In the past, Li Chengqian relied on the emperor's favor and the support of the ministers in the East Palace to do everything he said. But it is different now. Even a veteran general who has already become famous may not be guaranteed to win a battle like Tiemenguan.
Yuewangfu, Chongdefang, Chang'an
While Li Chengqian was away on an expedition, Li Tai also seized the opportunity to perform well in front of Li Shimin.
He wrote a letter asking the emperor to imitate the Sui system and open up academic institutions to select more good talents for the country. His advice made Li Shimin Long Yan very happy, and for a while it made Li Tai famous, and also helped Xiao Yu
I won the position of Enke's examiner this time.
Li Tai's actions also won him a lot of reputation among civil servants. Li Shimin often summoned him and asked him about matters related to the imperial examination. Everything was so harmonious. If Li Chengqian's class teacher had not returned to the court, he would have almost forgotten that there was
The prince is such a person.
But what he didn't expect was that in order to claim credit and reward in front of him, Tang Lin, an idiot, actually relied on the drunken words of a few acquaintances to impeach the army commander who had just made great contributions to the country and the current prince who had fought bloody battles with the iron gate.
.
In Li Chengqian's words, isn't this a pig? Li Tai and Xiao Yu were sitting in the study drinking tea to sober up. Du Chuke saw that the prince's anger should have been almost gone. He said carefully: "Your Highness, Old Tang has knelt down for three times.
It’s time, this is not a joke for the servants to see.”
Humph, Li Tai snorted heavily and waved his hand to Du Chuke, signaling Tang Lin to get out.
Xiao Yu, who was on the side, saw that Li Tai was very angry: "Your Highness, forget it. Your Majesty and the Crown Prince didn't pursue the matter. He is usually honest and sincere."
Li Tai was naturally embarrassed about Xiao Yu, and said: "Master Xiao, I don't blame him for impeaching the prince, but blame him for not doing things well. He is a criminal himself, doesn't he know that everything must be based on evidence?
Yes.
What's more, he is facing the crown prince of a country and the emperor's confidant. Isn't this a fool to be reckless for the sake of small profits?"
"Your Highness, it is said that there is no smoke without fire. The old minister is in charge of the Yushitai, and it is normal to hear what is said. Besides, what Mr. Tang heard is not necessarily all false.
Let's talk about Emperor Wude. His Majesty was still the King of Qin. Didn't he kill less? Emperor Wude had a lot of pigtails like this in his hands, but the Xuanwu Gate Incident happened before he could do anything to His Majesty.
.”
Xiao Yu told the truth, but both he and Li Tai knew that the army would inevitably take some extraordinary measures when fighting abroad. This was tacitly understood.
The emperor would not pursue him as long as he did not go too far. In the past, when he impeached generals, some were out of jealousy, and some were out of the so-called principles of defenders. It seems that Tang Lin was only doing it to flatter himself.
"Forget it, the prince has returned to the court with the power of victory. It would be unwise to act against them now. My father will also say that I am not sensible. It is better to do our own errands well."
