Chapter 33

Looking at the gathered officials, Li Shimin nodded and said, "You should have heard about the Battle of Mobei, right?"

The civil servants and military generals nodded and started discussing separately. A middle-aged man stood up and said, "Your Majesty, we have signed an alliance with the Turkic people. This Long Feiyu went to war without authorization, repeatedly breaking our DPRK treaty, and provoking the Turkic people time and time again." , resulting in continuous wars on the frontier, and numerous deaths and injuries among the frontier residents, I implore Your Majesty to arrest this person and bring him to justice."

As soon as this person finished speaking, a group of civil servants nodded and vassalized together.Seeing them, Li Shimin frowned. He obtained his power from horses, so he was too partial to those generals, but his grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others were not weak.

From their perspective, they didn't express their opinions, but these civil servants were eager to speak.This Long Feiyu had little contact with the courtiers, but he didn't know how to offend these civil servants.

Hearing these ministers' support, Du Ruhui stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Liu's words are wrong. Since we established diplomatic relations with the Turks, they have repeatedly invaded our Hexi land, and most of the people in Hexi seem to have moved back. Since Long Feiyu took office, he has cleared the long Hexi line of defense, and actively united with various defenders to carry out a devastating military attack on the Turkic people in Hexi's eyeliner. Only then did the people of Hexi return. This battle in Mobei is Xue Yantuo Khan invited us here, and the harvest from this war was unimaginable. The benefits brought by the First World War were enough for nearly a year's salary of my frontier soldiers. How can such a courtier be punished when he is rewarded."

After Du Ruhui's words fell, a group of civil servants and military generals hurriedly stood up and said: "The ministers wait for a second opinion."

Those generals were even more enthusiastic, and the leading general was even more dissatisfied: "Master Liu, you always stand and talk without feeling a pain in your back. In such a cold day, we dare not touch weapons in Chang'an. You know the windy and sandy weather in the Hexi area. What’s more, it’s still in Mobei, where the cold wind is howling. I heard that General Long fainted from the cold because he gave his padded coat to the wounded. Dao walks around Chang'an City, and I will give you my salary for this month."

At this time, Mr. Liu was in distress. He opposed it for the sake of opposition, and there was no basis for it. If the alliance between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty was unbreakable, he could still use it as a reference, but the fact is that they never took the alliance seriously.

I offended the generals of the Manchu Dynasty with a simple sentence, and at this time it can be said that I am not a human being inside and outside.It even gritted his teeth with hatred for Long Feiyu, who had caused him to be besieged by everyone.

People like them who have been officials in the court for decades, although doing nothing, have accumulated a lot of contacts.Naturally, Long Feiyu, a rising star without a backstage, was repeatedly suppressed.But seeing that there was nothing he could do at this time, he could only retreat silently.

Seeing this, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then, what position would you like to give him?"

Over there, Fang Xuanling stood up after pondering for a while and said, "Your Majesty, according to his achievements, he can be enshrined as a county noble and serve two hundred households, and he can be promoted to be a general of Youwuwei."

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "General Youwuwei, he has enfeoffed two hundred households. Is his contribution enough?"

"That's enough, Your Majesty. This attack on the Turks alone has led to Xue Yantuo, Huihe and other five countries submitting their ministerial forms, and it has also contributed to the disintegration between Tuli and Jieli. Frightened by his majesty, most people have already started trading with us in Yumen, and Yumen Yanran has become a frontier trade center leading to the Western Regions. With such a large influence, it is enough to take on this responsibility."

Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Shimin nodded and said: "Then follow this proposal. In addition, Turkic has encountered a once-in-a-century storm and has moved south. Notify the border ministries to prepare for defense."

Hearing the Turkic migration to the south, Fang Xuanling hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this Turkic migration to the south just happens to be an opportunity for our Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty can order Xu Shiji, the governor of Bingzhou, to attack the Turks."

Li Shimin waved his hands and said: "No, I, Tang Tianwei, can never do such a thing of taking advantage of the fire. On this occasion, I will send people to Turkic to show condolences to show my Tang Tianwei and the etiquette of the state. We will fight against Turkic after this storm has passed. Defeat them upright on the battlefield."

This has to be said to be Li Shimin's pride. Frontal defeat and looting are two concepts. What he wants is the surrender of the frontier tribes, not a temporary winner.

When the Turks moved south, Li Shimin just ordered the two prefectures of You and Bing to take precautions to prevent the Turks from invading.The rest to no action.

But Mr. Liu wanted to turn Long Feiyu's way, but he lifted a stone and smashed his feet, and he hated all the generals.Glumly, he returned to the mansion.For them, if this time fails, there will be a next time. After all, the most unlucky ones in the officialdom are the fastest. This is an eternal truth.They just need to wait for the opportunity.

At the same time, the battle in Mobei spread throughout the city of Chang'an through the mouths of the ministers. Long Feiyu's prestigious reputation became popular in Chang'an along with the few frontier poems he plagiarized, and he became the object of many young girls' love for a while.

In the Dragon Mansion, Long Liang clutched the padded jacket that Long Feiyu had sent back, hearing that his son had been injured, he was walking around in the yard anxiously.From time to time, he shouted to Ah Fu who was beside him: "Ah Shou went to find Mr. Sanbao to inquire about the news, and I don't know what's going on. How is Yu'er's injury?"

A Fu hurriedly said: "It should be fine, I heard that the young master was promoted to General Youwuwei by His Majesty, and he was rewarded with the title of title. There are two hundred households in Shiyi."

Long Liang excitedly said: "Really? How did you know that?"

"I've heard from the servants of those officials that I'm with a good master and get promoted faster."

Hearing these words, Long Liang touched the stubble growing on his chin and laughed out loud.

Hearing his laughter, Faye Wong and a [-]-year-old girl came out from a wing not far away, looked at Long Liang's happy expression and asked, "Uncle, what's the matter? Are you so happy?"

Long Liang smiled and said: "You will know in a while, Fei Yu is coming back soon, and I will let him marry you as soon as he comes back."

Hearing that she became married, Faye Wong suddenly blushed and dragged the girl to the kitchen in a hurry. Long Liang's wanton laughter came from behind her.

The girl looked at Faye Wong and blushed, and said with a smile: "Sister, why are you shy, it's not a matter of time before you and your brother-in-law get married."

Faye Wong rolled her eyes at the girl and said, "You son of a bitch, don't worry, I'll hit you."

The girl smiled and said, "Sister, my father will bring Brother Wang Yuan to Chang'an in a few days, where are you going to let him live? How about I make room for Brother Yuan in the West Wing?"

Faye Wong shook her head and said: "No, let Brother Yuan live with Uncle. After all, Long Feiyu and I are not married yet. Whether he wants to marry me or not is another matter after he comes back. It is not good for Brother Yuan to live here after all. .”

The girl let out an oh, didn't say much, and obediently helped Faye Wong start the fire.

Cheng Zhijie's mansion next door had just come down to court, and he gathered a group of civil servants and generals into his room.Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and others headed by Leng stomped their feet.

The two generals, Yuchi Gong and Qin Shubao, also know how to tremble at this time, Yu Chi Gong said impatiently: "I said Cheng Sanfu, you brought us here to drink, your house is newly built, there is not even a stove, what is this?" Are you going to freeze us to death?"

Cheng Zhijie was wearing the thick padded jacket Long Feiyu gave him, and he laughed and said, "Is it cold? Why didn't I feel it?"

Yu Chigong angrily went over and tore off the padded jacket wrapped around Cheng Zhijie's body and said, "Try it."

As soon as the padded jacket was torn off, a gust of cold air entered the body, Cheng Zhijie hurriedly wrapped the clothes up, "hehe" laughed twice and said: "It's really cold, but with this padded jacket, I won't be able to freeze anymore."

Hearing the padded jacket, Yu Chigong smiled and said: "I said, Cheng Sanfu, where did you get this padded jacket? Get some of us brothers one too."

Cheng Sanfu shook his head and said, "That won't work. This item is a rare item. That boy Long Feiyu brought it back to me from Yumen. The entire Chang'an City is owned by his family and His Majesty. The remaining one is mine. .Since I have him, it is never cold to go out in the winter, just think about it.”

Seeing his ostentatious expression, several people had the urge to join fire and strangle him to death.Yu Chigong said with a wrinkled face: "Brother Cheng, discuss it, you have a better relationship with Long Feiyu, he will come to the capital to take up a post soon, let him bring one to my brother."

Cheng Zhijie shook his head and said: "No, it's a symbol of friendship. Why should the boy of the Long family give you such a good thing because you are not related to each other? It means that I, Cheng, have a wide circle of people, and my righteousness is beyond the sky, so I can make friends with others." edge."

Qin Shubao over there said disdainfully: "You are so righteous, you really have the nerve to speak up. Come on, don't be smug here, who doesn't know that you asked the servants to take the brazier away just now, just to show off your clothes , do you think that some of us didn’t see it? Just don’t tell me, just put it away and bring the brazier quickly.”

Cheng Zhijie laughed dryly twice and then shouted to the outside: "Bring the brazier and the wine and vegetables."

Hearing Cheng Zhijie's words, the group snorted dissatisfiedly and looked at Cheng Zhijie contemptuously.They all buried their heads in eating, and no one paid any attention to him, a sullen guy.
