Chapter 113 It’s all thanks to Zhao Zhengshi
Li Shimin looked ugly, and his hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly squeezed together.
He should have expected this outcome.
It's just that I couldn't bear to reject Zhao Chen before.
Unexpectedly, he actually harmed Zhao Chen.
Cheng Yaojin stood aside and looked at Qin Qiong, finding that there was deep self-blame in each other's eyes.
"Your Majesty, I, Old Cheng, am willing to bear all the responsibilities for this failure in the martial arts performance. I, Old Cheng, did not stop Zhao Zhengshi, which led to this catastrophe..."
"Your Majesty, I, Qin Qiong, are guilty. As a veteran general in the army, I failed to dissuade Zhao Zhengshi, which led to such a situation..."
Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong were excusing Zhao Chen.
This made the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty feel extremely strange.
Especially Qin Qiong, he never actively participates in other people's affairs.
Why did you take the initiative to get into trouble today?
"Your Majesty, these two princes regard the face of our Tang Dynasty as child's play, and they should be guilty of the same crime as that Zhao Chen!"
"Your Majesty, I request that Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong be disposed of together with Zhao Chen!"
"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty has lost its face. If we don't deal with them, how can we explain it to the people of the world?"
The repeated requests for remonstrance to punish the three people made Li Shimin grind his teeth to pieces!
How does he want to punish Zhao Chen?
Is that his eldest son, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty?
After taking care of him, who will this Datang be handed over to in the future?
Li Chengqian?
"Prince, how do you think I should handle this matter?" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and said calmly.
Li Chengqian was also stunned.
He thought that all civil and military officials in the dynasty asked the emperor to deal with Zhao Chen, and he must be the same.
"Father, I think..."
"Your Majesty, I think this is a small punishment. Although Zhao Zhengshi made mistakes, he also made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty."
"Severe punishment may lose people's hearts. Your Majesty, please think twice!" Changsun Wuji said a few words before Li Chengqian could speak. \u003c
br\u003e
But the ideas are different from those of other ministers.
He actually wanted to let Zhao Chen go.
This sounds incredible to everyone!
"Changsun Pushe..."
"Prince, I want to know your opinion!" Li Shimin glanced at Changsun Wuji, and then looked at Li Chengqian.
Even the ministers who wanted to question Changsun Wuji swallowed their words.
Li Chengqian now understood that these eight achievements were the emperor testing himself.
If he said that he wanted to deal with Zhao Chen, he would probably be reprimanded by the emperor.
Otherwise, why would Changsun Wuji speak before him?
But why is the father so unwilling to deal with Zhao Chen? Is it really because of his talent?
"Father, I think your eldest grandson Pushe is right. Our Tang Dynasty has always been kind to talented people."
"The failure of this martial arts performance is not entirely Zhao Zhengshi's fault. I thought that a small punishment but a big warning would be enough!" Li Chengqian said slowly.
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he secretly observed Li Shimin's expression.
What made Li Chengqian a little disappointed was that Li Shimin had no expression on his face.
"The fact that the prince can have such a benevolent heart is a small thing in my heart. As for Zhao Chen, then..."
"Your Majesty, good news!" Before Li Shimin could finish speaking, a eunuch ran in from outside in a hurry.
"Huh?" Li Shimin frowned.
What bothered him the most was being interrupted when he was talking.
This news had better make you happy, otherwise, the little eunuch will be killed.
The newly promoted personal eunuch next to him was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and secretly thought that he would definitely pull out this kid's skin when he went back.
"Your Majesty, Li Ruoshuang, the daughter of Duke Wei, led an army of one hundred women last night to capture the Tubo city camp and obtain the Tubo King's
flag. "
"At this moment, General Li is waiting for orders outside the palace!"
"puff--"
Li Shimin was drinking tea from a teacup. After hearing the news, he couldn't hold back a sip.
The tea in his mouth spurted out and spilled on the table in front of him.
"How is it possible that Li Ruoshuang took down the Tubo city camp with only one hundred women's troops?"
"No, absolutely impossible!" .??.
"Even with a thousand men, it's impossible to capture the city camp in one night."
"We all knew before that the city camp was extremely strong. A strong attack would take three or four days with a thousand men. How could it be possible for Li Ruoshuang and a hundred women's troops?"
The ministers of the DPRK and China did not notice Li Shimin spraying tea at all.
They all heard that Li Ruoshuang led a hundred women's troops to capture the Tubo city camp in one night.
Who among them would believe such a thing?
"Quick, let Li Ruoshuang come in and talk!" Li Shimin waved his hand with a beaming face.
"Xuan Li Ruoshuang comes to see you!" the eunuch shouted quickly.
Li Shimin sat on the dragon couch, clasping his hands together, looking restless.
"General Li Ruoshuang, please pay homage to Your Majesty!" Li Ruoshuang quickly walked into the court hall and bowed to Li Shimin.
Li Ruoshuang was still wearing bright silver armor, and there were slight scratches on the armor.
There are also some stains on the face.
"I ask you, did you capture the Tubo city camp?" Li Shimin stood up and stared at Li Ruoshuang.
"Your Majesty, the Tubo King's Flag is here!" Li Ruoshuang took out the Tubo King's Flag from his waist and held it up in his hand.
The eunuch quickly stepped forward and showed it to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin looked at the Tubo King's flag in front of him, with a strong expression of joy on his face.
"Haha, okay, it turns out that the tiger father has no dog daughter!" Li Shimin walked down and personally helped Li Ruoshuang up.
"Tell me
Tell me, how did you capture the Tubo city camp? "Li Shimin stood in front of Li Ruoshuang and said with a smile.
The ministers nearby, who had been making a lot of noise before, all fell silent at this moment and looked at Li Ruoshuang.
How could they have imagined that Li Ruoshuang really took down the Tubo city camp defended by 300 people with just one hundred men?
Many people think that they are dreaming at this moment!
Li Chengqian looked at Changsun Wuji and thought to himself that if he hadn't taken a step ahead of him, he would have been embarrassed in front of the emperor again.
"Reporting to your majesty, the south gate of the Tubo camp is on a high mountain. I am leading the fifty women's army to climb over the high mountain."
"Go down from the mountains, sneak into the Tubo city camp, and surprise the Tibetan soldiers."
"The Tubo soldiers were unexpected and the entire army collapsed!" Li Ruoshuang said slowly.
Surprise attack?
Climbing mountains?
Li Shimin also knew that the high mountain in the western suburbs was so dangerous that no one dared to climb over it.
Li Ruoshuang...
"Your Majesty, it is all thanks to Ambassador Zhao that the general was able to successfully capture the Tubo city camp this time."
"If it weren't for Zhao Zhengshi, not to mention that the general led only a hundred women's troops, even if there were a thousand people, he would never have thought of taking over the Tubo city camp overnight!" Li Ruoshuang said with cupped hands, his face full of respect.
"Zhao Chen!" Li Shimin's face showed joy.
"Everyone, I heard that Li Ruoshuang captured the Tubo city camp with only a hundred men."
"I would like to ask, among all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, who can do it!" Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and glanced at everyone.
All the ministers bowed their heads, who dared to accept such words.
Just now they had seriously damaged Zhao Chen, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and even His Majesty the Emperor.
If you answer the question at this time, isn't that just sending it up to slap the emperor in the face?
"Your Majesty, General Li just said that magic soldiers descended from the south peak. I wonder how General Li did it!" Cheng Yaojin asked, full of curiosity.
