It wasn't until the march was ten steps away from Li Chengqian's car that Li Mu and the soldiers of the escort battalion knelt down on one knee in unison, which made the soldiers of the forbidden army on guard breathe a sigh of relief, secretly wiped their sweat, and was glad that nothing happened, in fact, the soldiers of the forbidden army were already cold, this was really going to happen, and the three thousand forbidden troops who came out to welcome were the opponents of this group of tigers and wolves But now that I think about it, how could Li Mu and his escort battalion behave irregularly at such a time It's funny to say, compared to the soldiers of the forbidden army who are on the verge of the enemy, the people watching from afar are fearless, they cheer and celebrate, celebrating another victory of the Tang Dynasty, in the hearts of the people, as long as it is a victory, they can live and work in peace and contentment, and they don't have to worry about the imperial court increasing their taxes due to the defeat of the army, and their children and husbands don't have to be conscripted to the battlefield.
More importantly, victory gives the people dignity, even if this glory does not really belong to them, since ancient times, the people have not been the masters of glory, but even so, it does not affect the people's self-entertainment, because they think they have a common name Tang people.
The strong appearance of Li Mu's guard battalion made the self-esteem in the hearts of the people rise to the extreme.
They cheered with all their might.
"The minister of Chang'an County, the traffic supervisor, and the Xuanfu envoy Li Mu led the guard battalion back to Beijing, and hereby handed over the order to the emperor."
According to the rules, it was Li Shimin who knelt for Li Mu, and Li Chengqian just went out to greet Li Shimin.
Therefore, after Li Chengqian received the salute, he got out of the car and took a few steps forward to reply: "Chang'an County, the traffic supervisor, and the Xuanfu envoy Li Mu and his escort battalion broke the party traitors and captured the enemy chieftain Tuoba Chici, the merit is in the community, the emperor has a decree, after handing over the prisoners, Li Mu immediately entered the palace to face the saint, without delay."
In addition, the soldiers of the guard battalion temporarily returned to Lijiazhuang for renovation, waiting for the imperial court to reward their meritorious deeds. ” "The ministers obey."
At this time, Li Mufang got up and greeted Li Chengqian again.
"The minister greets His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Brother Mu is too outside, the road is hard, there is no need to be polite."
Li Chengqian was very humble and stepped forward directly to support Li Mu.
Li Mu looked up at Li Chengqian at this time, only to see that Li Chengqian's forehead was dripping with sweat, and there was still a trace of fear in his eyes.
It turns out that you are not afraid, Li Mu secretly laughed in his heart, and thought mischievously, it is estimated that Li Chengqian's legs and feet are inconvenient, and he can't run before he barely stands, so he can show the attitude of a brave man without fear.
"The enemy chieftain Tuoba Chici is behind, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send someone to deliver, and the minister will enter the palace to face the saint."
Li Mu was in a hurry to return to Zhuangzi, unwilling to waste time with Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian said with a stiff smile: "Brother Mu is right, originally I wanted to set up a banquet to entertain Brother Mu today, since my father has a will, then I will not keep you, and after a few days, I will send someone to invite you." ” Li Mu arched his hand and said: "Thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your kindness, Mu will definitely visit at that time." ” After the delivery, Li Mu asked Li Yi to take the guard camp back to the village, and he went to the palace alone.
The departure of Li Mu and the escort camp did not reduce the ecstasy of the onlookers.
In particular, the people who have an inextricable relationship with the guard battalion, they sing and dance, in their opinion, the glory of the guard camp is their glory, and they have the consciousness of a person who has attained the Tao and ascended to heaven.
People with good deeds also made up nursery rhymes, "In the past, Gu Zang Lang is now a man in Lu County.
The court scolded Han Xiang, who was not guilty but was promoted.
The first battle Tuguhun and the second slaughter of the party slaves.
The guard battalion under his command is a hero. 。
” As soon as Li Mu entered the Chengqing Palace, he saw Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Daozong looking at him with a smile.
"The retainers knock to see the emperor."
"Get up.
Okay, you Li Mu, and you have made new contributions, I didn't misunderstand you, haha.
After Li Shimin treated Li Mu Shili, he smiled and praised, "Come, sit down, and talk to me about how to defeat the party members."
So Li Mu recounted the causes and consequences of the battle in detail, and of course omitted the news that he learned from Sanyu that Tubo had marched into the party.
Li Shimin and the four of them were fascinated by what they heard, and they had the meaning of replacing each other with their bodies.
"Your Majesty, after this battle, the party is no longer an enemy, but Tubo is eyeing the party, and the court must be prepared."
Li Shimin nodded when he heard this: "I know, but now is not the time to start a war with Tubo, and let's wait for the future."
By the way, you suggested in the recital that you should build a city in the Nameless Canyon, and after consulting with the ministers, I think it is feasible, but according to the original method of building a city, it is too time-consuming, and I want to build it with your cement, what do you suggest about this?
” Li Mu thought for a while and said: "Cement is used to build the city wall, and its main purpose is to use a lot of steel to make reinforcements. ” Li Shimin was overjoyed and said, "Okay, then this matter is settled, and I will write an excerpt and submit it when I go back." ” "The retainers obey."
Li Mu remembered what he promised Li Daoyan, so he took the opportunity to say: "Erchen has another thing to tell." ” "Speak."
Li Mu roughly recounted the conversation and suspicions with Li Daoyan, and then concluded: "Your Majesty, what Li Daoyan said, although there is no evidence, the son's judgment that Tuyuhun and the party colluded privately would rather be credible.
In addition, although Li Daoyan is guilty, but the emperor's loyalty to the court can still be certain, the retainers thought that Tuyuhun had just surrendered, and Li Daliang, the governor stationed in Fu Qi City, also lacked helpers, Li Daoyan was a battle-hardened general after all, so it was better to let him be exiled to Fu Qi City to make meritorious contributions.
I don't know what the emperor wants."
Li Shimin was very relieved when he heard this, and deeply felt that Li Mu was his confidant, and he had long intended to pardon Li Daoyan, but he was forced by the ministers and could not deal with it, and now Li Mu's suggestion was in the middle of it.
Li Shimin put on a straight face, looked at Fang Xuanling and the others, and asked, "What do you think?"
Fang Xuanling and others have been by Li Shimin's side for so long, and they are better than monkeys, how could they not understand what Li Shimin meant "The ministers seconded the proposal."
Li Shimin said: "Then as Li Mu played, exile Li Daoyan to Fu Qicheng and make meritorious contributions." ” "As for what Li Daoyan said, the collusion between the party and Tuyuhun, I think that now that Tuyuhun has been calmed down, Li Mu has overcome the party again, so there is no need to bother to pursue it."
Li Mu understood the meaning of Li Shimin's words, now Tuyuhun and the party are no longer worried, and Li Daoyan has also been punished, plus Tubo in the west is looking around, and Tuyuhun and the party are needed as a buffer with Tubo, even if it is found out that there is really such a thing, I am afraid it will not be investigated.
Sure enough, neither the eldest grandson Wuji nor Fang Xuanling spoke out against it, but unanimously agreed with Li Shimin's opinion.
Such a political matter is naturally not something that Li Mu can intervene in a county, even if he can, Li Mu is not happy, there is nothing beneficial, more is better than less.

Li Shimin saw that everyone had no objections, so he said: "Next, we will discuss how to deal with the enemy chieftain Tuoba Chici, and all the secretaries will talk about it." ” Li Daozong came out and said: "Tuoba Chi Ci Yang and Yin violated the Yin, slaughtered my tens of thousands of troops, his crime is unforgivable, and the minister thinks he should be beheaded." ” The eldest grandson Wuji said: "It's easy to behead, but Tuoba Chi is dead, and the various tribes of the party are in chaos, how to resist the attack of Tubo."
Li Daozong argued: "The imperial court will choose another person to be canonized." ” The eldest grandson Wuji did not give in, and said: "If there is another person Li Shangshu, how can we ensure that the newly elected person can serve the public?"
Li Shimin saw that the two of them were arguing, and hurriedly said to Fang Xuanling: "Xuanling has a good plan" Fang Xuanling didn't want to speak, but when he saw Li Shimin asking, he didn't dare to hide it, and said: "The minister thinks that what the auxiliary machine and Cheng Fan said are reasonable, Tuoba Chi slaughtered our army and civilians, and in terms of national prestige, not killing is not enough to anger the people, but in terms of national interests, it is not killable." ” The eldest grandson Wuji and the others couldn't stand Fang Xuanling and the mud, and they were ready to refute it.
Li Shimin asked: "Then according to Xuan Ling's opinion, to kill or not to kill" Fang Xuanling pondered: "The minister thought that it was better to admonish him, make him admit his guilt, and then let him go back, so that he could resist the eastward advance of Tubo for the Tang Dynasty." ” Fang Xuanling's words caused all the dissatisfaction, not only Li Shimin shook his head vigorously, but even the eldest grandson Wuji, who did not agree to be killed, did not agree.
The eldest grandson Wuji frowned and asked, "Xuanling's advice, the old man doesn't dare to agree.
Let him go so easily, where is the face of the court?"
Li Daozong was even more angry, and he reproached: "What the Zhongshu Order said is really a humiliation to my Tang Dynasty military prestige, and the emperor must not accept it." ” Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and said: "I understand what Aiqing said, and it is also for the court, but what Chengfan said is also reasonable, and it is indeed inappropriate to let Tuoba Chi resign and go back." ” Fang Xuanling sighed: "The minister knows that what he said is inappropriate, but the emperor and the princes think about it, if you kill Tuoba Chi to vent your anger, then the party will be chaotic, and once the party is in chaos, the border of the Tang Dynasty will be affected, and more importantly, if Tubo takes advantage of this eastward advance, some party tribes are afraid of the strength of the Tubo army, so they will bend down and take refuge, so that the eastward expansion of Tubo will be unstoppable." ” As soon as these words came out, the temple fell silent.
The eldest grandson Wuji and Li Daozong are also thinking deeply, this is indeed a difficult problem, not that the Tang Dynasty is afraid of Tubo, but that the Tang Dynasty is not ready to fight with Tubo.
Purely from the perspective of the national strength of the two countries, Datang and Tubo are like a barefoot man wearing shoes.
With national strength, Datang is enough to crush Tibet, but the problem is that he has never been barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes.
Datang Chengping has been peaceful for more than 20 years, and it can be said that the country and the people are safe, so I am worried that the war will shatter this comfort.
Li Shimin saw that everyone didn't speak, and he couldn't think of a good plan for a while, and in the corner of his eye, he happened to see the bastard boy who was yawning quietly, so he didn't get angry.
"Li Mu, you should tell me how to deal with Tuoba Chici" Li Mu was caught off guard, he was bored and about to retire, but was suddenly attacked by Li Shimin.
"This."
Li Mu showed a trace of embarrassment on his face.
"If you have something to say, I will not hold you accountable for your false words."
With Li Shimin's words guaranteed, Li Mu dared to let go
