Chapter 69: Knowing how to advance and retreat


Li Shimin was still proud in his heart, after all, he was favored by himself and had the wisdom to know people, and Li Mu did not live up to his favor and made a face for him.

Li Shimin is really embarrassed, to say that Li Mu is a young man, he is already a five-grade county, and if he goes up, it is the county prince and the county waiter, a ten-year-old county prince and county waiter But it is not possible to reward the merit, breaking through the tens of thousands of party armies and capturing the enemy chieftain This is second only to the great merit of destroying the country, how to reward Li Shimin smiled bitterly and handed the fold to Fang Xuanling and asked him to pass it on to the ministers.

Fang Xuanling's expression on his face was not abnormal after seeing it, in his opinion, whether it was Wei Chigong or Niu Jinda or Li Mu, as long as he won, he had already sealed the Duke of the country, the actual seal of 1,600 households, the prime minister for ten years, and the power and favor were extremely high, as long as the Tang Dynasty was eternal, he had no other pursuits, and even he thought about asking Li Shimin to resign for two years, saying that prosperity is decline, he doesn't want to be old, and he can't die well.

But the eldest grandson Wuji's expression was wonderful, and he, like Li Shimin, did not expect Li Mu to make great achievements again.

He had a different idea from Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji wanted to preserve the glory of the entire eldest grandson family, even after his death, so he wanted to cultivate forces and consolidate the circle around him.

The Changsun clan is the second in the Tang clan chronicles, second only to Li Shimin's clan, even if the Cui clan is in the limelight for a while, can't it only obediently succumb to the Changsun clan and rank third Let the eldest grandson clan continue to be glorious for a long time, which is the biggest goal of the eldest grandson Wuji's life, and any person or thing that stands in front of this goal will be swept away by himself.

It's just that the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Shimin thought differently, he was not worried about how to reward Li Mu, but thought of another problem, that is, Li Mu was too sharp.

A person with a foundation is too sharp and is called strength, and a person without a foundation is too sharp, that is a big tree and a loss.

The eldest grandson Wuji had the intention to pull Li Mu into his camp and didn't want him to die prematurely, so he couldn't help but worry about Li Mu, and there was no reward, which was a taboo for a minister.

Although Li Mu's official title is not very high, and there are many titles on it, the problem is that Li Mu is too fast, and his age is hard.

At this time, the ministers had already seen Wei Chigong's recital, and they whispered to those close to them, and the gist of his words was Li Mu's monstrous military exploits.

This time, no one doubted Li Mu's merits, because it was Wei Chigong who played the fold, although Wei Chigong was arrogant in the eyes of everyone, and he dared to beat Li Daozong, he could not be arrogant, but he was definitely a straightforward person, and no one would question his twists and turns.

There is no room for questioning, otherwise we have to ask Li Shimin whether he agrees.

The ministers have their own thoughts, but one thing is the same, that is, envy, this kind of military exploit, it can only be encountered once when the ancestral tomb is smoking, but Li Mu has encountered it twice in less than a year, which is really lucky.

Just when the monarchs and ministers of the first hall were struggling, there was a small yellow door coming in, "Xuanfu made Li Mu Songzhou report." ” "Bring it in."

Li Shimin secretly wondered if Li Mu's performance was a credit for himself When he opened it, Li Shimin immediately high-fived and applauded.

The ministers were surprised, and they didn't know what Li Mu wrote on the fold, which caused Li Shimin to lose his temper.

"Come, report Li Muzuo to Zhongshu Ling, Sikong take a look, I will say, this son lives up to me."

Li Shimin was full of praise.

When the eldest grandson Wuji read this report, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it turns out that there are really people who are born to know, this son is well versed in the way of advance and retreat at the age of ten, and over time, the achievements can be imagined.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji's heart moved suddenly, and he really had the idea of marrying his daughter to Li Mu, but it was only an impulse, because when he thought of Li Mu's age, the eldest grandson Wuji knew that this might not be a big success.

Even if he is willing, his daughter is three years older than Li Mu, and five years later, Li Mu is still a weak crown, but her daughter should get married.

In this era, women don't marry after eighteen, and they have to be official.

Although with the eldest grandson Wuji's ability, it is impossible to let his daughter be an official match, but it is always a shame to pass it on.

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled self-deprecatingly, nagging the thought in the bud.

Li Mu's recital did not give credit to himself word by word, but elaborated on the battle of the Nameless Canyon, and suggested that the imperial court use the Nameless Canyon as a base to build a troop city, which can not only deter the party, but also become a barrier in Songzhou, which is equivalent to adding a protective wall before Gansongling.

As for the merits of this victory, Li Mu also ranked down.

Originally, Li Mu was not qualified to rank this second, because the commander was Wei Chigong, only he could rank, and then play the imperial court, and after the court discussion, he sent the military department to discuss the merits, and then handed it over to Shangshu Province for issuance, and finally Li Shimin issued a holy decree with a seal.

But this time, Li Mumingli is a Xuanfu envoy, and he is an upright messenger appointed by the imperial court's holy decree. went to Songzhou with Wei Chigong, in fact, he secretly agreed with the mission of supervising the army, so it was really his duty for Li Mu to report alone.

Li Mu's ranking order is like this, Han Wei, the governor of Songzhou, resisted the 50,000-strong army of Tuoba Chici in Gansongling for 11 days with 6,000 soldiers, and the casualties exceeded 50%, which was the first merit; Niu Xiujinda, the general of the right military guard, led 5,000 forbidden troops to break the enemy, which was considered a secondary merit; Li Yi, the general of Ningyuan, led 500 soldiers of the guard battalion to capture the enemy chieftain Tuoba Chici in one fell swoop, which was the third.

Only his own merits were not mentioned in the newspaper, which made the ministers secretly heartbroken and admired Li Mu's mind.

I am afraid that there are not many people in this world who can be so humble and monstrous.

Li Mu might not have thought that this piece of music could make his image among the courtiers much better.

Li Shimin was already relaxed at this time, and he naturally understood Li Mu's merits in this battle, but he was unwilling to let Li Mu occupy the position of the first merit in public or private.

Li Mu's appointment just gave him a step down, and Li Shimin said: "Li Mu has this heart, since this is the case, then send the performance of Wei Chigong and Li Mu to the military department to discuss merit." ” "The ministers obey."

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Shimin went to the palace of Empress Changsun.

Because of Li Yuan's death, Li Shimin has not been to Empress Changsun for ten days.

"Guanyin."

Li Shimin stopped Gong E, who was going to report, and walked in shouting all the way.

Empress Changsun was talking to Li Zhi, the king of Jin, when she heard Li Shimin's voice, she hurriedly pulled Li Zhi out.

"The concubines greet the emperor."

"The sons and daughters greet their father."

Li Shimin saw that his eldest grandson was dressed in filial piety, his expression was a little haggard, and there was more pity in his eyes. stepped forward to support Empress Changsun and complained: "Guanyin, your body is not neat these days, you should pay more attention to rest." ” "The concubine will take care of it."

Li Shimin turned his head to Li Zhi and said: "The pheasant slave is also here, but I have to study hard these days."

Li Zhi was obviously a little afraid of Li Shimin, and shrank behind Empress Changsun and didn't dare to speak.

Li Shimin was about to blame, but the eldest grandson queen hurriedly said: "The concubines saw the emperor rushing over, and I don't know what happy things to do." was asked by the eldest grandson Wujian like this, Li Shimin immediately forgot to ask Li Zhi about studying, and said with a smile: "There is a happy event, and it is also involved with you, Guanyin may as well guess." ” How could the eldest grandson Wujian rebel against Li Shimin's interest, so he guessed with a smile: "If the concubine thinks about how to make the emperor happy, it is definitely not a trivial matter, since it is a major event, it must be related to Tuyuhun and the party war." ” "Well, it's not hard to guess.

The concubine guessed that it must be Tuyuhun and the good news of the party war.

The emperor said that I guessed correctly."

Li Shimin stroked his palms and laughed: "Although it is not complete, it is not far away."

Guanyin guessed that there was good news, but she didn't guess what the happy event had to do with you. ” "Oh, the emperor said, what a happy event" Li Shimin smiled mysteriously, hung the curiosity of the eldest grandson, and said after a while: "I just got the report, the battle of Songzhou was a great victory, killing and capturing more than 30,000 party rebels, and to my surprise, I actually captured the enemy chieftain Tuoba Chici alive. ” Empress Eldest Sun was also overjoyed when she heard this, after all, Li Shimin hadn't laughed so happily for many days.

In order to make Li Shimin happy, Empress Changsun followed Li Shimin's tone and asked, "Then tell me how the emperor has to do with the concubines."

Li Shimin was really even happier, and said with a smile: "The queen has received a good son, Li Mu and his escort battalion are the first merit in this battle, and he also captured the enemy chief Tuoba Chici alive."

Guanyin, do you say it has anything to do with you?"

Empress Eldest Sun asked in surprise when she heard this: "Didn't Li Mu say that he would go to Songzhou to announce the decree to appease, why did he really go to the battlefield?"

Li Shimin said: "Why did you forget how Li Mu came to Chang'an, isn't it because he defeated Tuyuhun and killed Fu Yun?"

Empress Eldest Sun said suddenly: "Looking at the memory of the concubine, I only remember that Li Mu is young, and the concubine still blames Your Majesty in her heart, how can Li Mu go to the battlefield at a young age to fight." ” Li Shimin was so amused that he laughed and said, "Don't you know, that bastard boy has five hundred Zhuang Ding guards under his command, and that momentum is difficult for even my flying horses to compete with." ” Empress Eldest Sun was taken aback and asked, "Could it be that Li Mu still has the skill of military training?"

Li Shimin sighed: "I really underestimated him.

Today he put on a memora about the war in Songzhou, Guanyin and guess again, what he said on the recital" Empress Eldest Sun smiled: "How else can I say that with his youthful nature, he has made such a great contribution, and he has not yet made a good contribution to the emperor." ” Li Shimin restrained his smile and said: "The queen also underestimated him, and Li Mu did not mention his merits at all, but gave the first credit to Han Wei, the governor of Songzhou, who adhered to Gansongling. ” Empress Changsun was also deeply surprised when she heard this, and she suddenly saluted Li Shimin and said: "After there is a Ming monarch, there will be a good minister."

The concubine congratulates His Majesty. ” Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this: "That bastard boy really didn't live up to the favor I and the queen gave him, I don't want to reward him well." ” Empress Eldest Sun stopped: "The emperor can't, Li Mu has been named a county son at a young age, and he was accepted as a righteous son by the emperor and his concubines, if you add more grace, I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to him, and please think twice." ”:
