When Xiao Li heard it, he understood Li Yuan's guess.
You know, Xiao Li has been by Li Yuan's side all the time, so it can be said that he is a roundworm in Li Yuan's stomach. What's in Li Yuan's mind, even if Li Yuan doesn't say it, Xiao Li can understand it immediately.
This is a tacit agreement.
It is also Xiao Li's shrewdness.
Xiao Li knew Li Yuan's conjecture that the East Palace sent people to rob and kill Du Qi. But Xiao Li thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, this old slave doesn't know which stupid thief who doesn't open his eyes actually robbed and killed General Changsun and his party."
"You old bastard, you dare not tell the truth, right?" Li Yuan rolled his eyes at Xiao Li, and snorted, "Who else could have a grudge against Du Qi, and wish Du Qi would die, besides the East Palace? This matter, Changsun Shunde did not report it at the beginning, but now he reported it, obviously because he was worried about the impact of the previous secret rehearsal. Now that they have returned, they report it."
Xiao Li stood aside and did not speak.
He just listened.
Li Yuan was even more dissatisfied with Li Jiancheng in his heart. But the East Palace is the East Palace after all, the heir apparent of the country. Even if Li Yuan was angry, with Du Qi whom he admired on the one hand, and the flesh on the back of his hand on the other, Li Yuan was quite helpless when he was angry.
He even hated iron but not steel.
Li Yuan suppressed his anger and continued on.
Changsun Shunde wrote a lot of secret melodies. Changsun Shunde recorded clearly all the important events along the way from leaving Chang'an to the north and entering Hedong Road. Especially after arriving at Yanmen, seeing Li Dayen's plan, then calculating Yuan Junzhang, insisting on losing his mind, and persuading Gao Manzheng to surrender, and finally going to Turkic.
Everything is clearly recorded.
? In particular, Du Qi and Jieli fought wits and bravery, and finally Du Qi deployed at Yanmen Pass and won. Changsun Shunde explained all the process clearly, and described the role Du Qi played verbatim.
In the entire record, Changsun Shunde's description of himself is two words - trust. He trusted Du Qi, so he gave Du Qi enough power, and let Du Qi arrange everything.
So there was the final victory at Yanmen Pass.
It took Li Yuan nearly a quarter of an hour to read all the news.
Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and praised: "Du Qi's envoy to the Turks this time is both wise and brave. This kid dares to go to the Turks, he has great courage; he has great wisdom when he calculates and benefits. What he does, he practices. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country he said."
Xiao Li echoed: "Your Majesty's words are true, but this old servant still wants to say that no matter how powerful Du Qi is, in the end, His Majesty appreciates Du Qi. Maxima is common, but Bole is not. If it is not for His Majesty's arrangement, he will not There may be today's Great Victory at Yanmen Pass. So going back to the source, His Majesty is the one who really knows people with eyesight and is the one who really contributed to the Great Victory at Yanmen Pass."
"Old man, you are the only one who can flatter you."
Li Yuan was in a good mood and spoke with a smile.
Xiao Li chuckled.
Xiao Li didn't take Li Yuan's words to heart, and continued: "But let's get down to business, Du Qi is indeed powerful. With his own power, he stirred up the Turkic situation. With the help of Li Dayen, the king of Dingxiang County, he fought at Yanmen Pass With very little loss, the Turks were hit hard. It can be said that the current Tang Dynasty and the northern Turkic border will not have to worry about it in the next few years."
"That's what it means!"
The expression on Li Yuan's face was very happy.
Today's Li Yuan, the joy in his heart, seems to be the happiest time in his life.
? In the former Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang established his achievements in Jijiyingying.
Even three campaigns to Goguryeo.
But they all failed, and in the end they ruined the foundation of the Sui Dynasty. But now, he has solved the Turkic threat without personally conquering, mobilizing troops on a large scale, and spending countless people's fat and anointing.
This is the merit of Li Yuan.
Li Yuan ordered: "Pass the decree to call the Crown Prince, King Qin, and King Qi into the palace, and then call Pei Ji, Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, and Feng Deyi into the palace to discuss the matter of welcoming the great heroes back."
"yes!"
Xiao Li got the order and went to arrange it immediately.
After everything was arranged properly, Xiao Li returned to stand beside Li Yuan. Li Yuan narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Xiao Li, how do you reward Du Qi this time?"
Xiao Li said: "Your Majesty, Du Qi is too young after all. What's more, Du Qi also asked Li Dayen, the king of Dingxiang County, to report his news. In fact, it was to avoid trouble for His Majesty. Lazy, but it also relieves His Majesty."
Li Yuan nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, yes, just a lazy temper. You said it very well.?. But this kid has a passion and is a good boy. "
Xiao Li said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Yuan thought for a while and said: "Du Qi is indeed younger. Especially this kid, he doesn't like to be an official. This matter is a bit difficult to handle. But although I can't grant him an official position, I can grant him a title , it is possible."
Xiao Li said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Yuan glared at Xiao Li, as if he was dissatisfied with Xiao Li's flattery, and continued: "It is reasonable to say that with Du Qi's meritorious service, it is possible to bestow the founding Duke. The title, and make up for it from another place."
When Xiao Li heard this, he secretly thought that Du Qi was lucky.
The title bestowed is small, but it is compensated from another place, which means that Du Qi's family is more prosperous. Du Qi's right to speak in front of Li Yuan will be even greater.
Li Yuan talked a lot today, and continued to say with emotion: "Du Qi, this boy, even talked about motivating Tuli Khan Shibobi to go south to Chang'an. This is also a great achievement. Alas, Du Qi, this boy, makes people happy! My big brother There was Du Qi in the Tang Dynasty, so there should be thousands of troops."
Xiao Li was amazed when he heard this.
Du Qi's status in the court, even though Du Qi's official position is small, or even has no official position, but Du Qi's influence may not be comparable to ordinary people.
Time passed, and soon, Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Feng Deyi entered the palace.
The four of them had originally served in the palace.
So it's coming soon.
After the four sat down, Li Yuan waved his hand, and Xiao Li handed over the battle report submitted by Li Dayen to Pei Ji to read. When Pei Ji saw it, he stood up excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, is this true?"
Pei Ji couldn't sit still anymore.
This news is too shocking.
Pei Ji's words made Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu and others curious. Li Yuan didn't speak for the time being, but waited for Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, and Feng Deyi to finish reading. He looked at the shocked expressions of each of them, and then nodded and said: "The victory of Yanmen Pass is indeed true."
Wow! !
Several people were shocked when they heard the words.
Pei Ji praised: "Your Majesty, this great victory at Yanmen Pass is extremely important to the Tang Dynasty. You must know that in the past few decades of the Sui Dynasty, there has never been an important battle against the north."
"Even if the Turks belonged to the former Sui Dynasty, in fact, they listened to the tune and did not listen to the propaganda, and did not obey the Turks. That is to say, only by marrying relatives can the Turks' power be stabilized."
"Dating back more than 400 years in the former Sui Dynasty, during the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the alien race in the north was extremely tyrannical. Let alone the Central Plains Dynasty, it is quite good if it can not be enslaved."
"It is Wei Wu who swung his whip to make the barbarians terrified. When Emperor Wu of Wei, Cao Cao, conquered Wuhuan in the north, he made the Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Huns in the north bow their heads. It took hundreds of years, that is, His Majesty has achieved such a great victory."
Pei Ji praised one after another.
They all praised Li Yuan, as if all of this was due to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan's face was full of smiles, and he was extremely happy. What Pei Ji said made Li Yuan feel happy inside.
Xiao Yu said: "Your Majesty, this battle is indeed a great display of my Tang Dynasty's prestige."
Chen Shuda echoed: "Your Majesty, Li Dayen has meritorious service. But in the battle report, Du Qi was repeatedly mentioned. Especially in this battle, Du Qi's contribution to planning is indispensable."
Feng Deyi also noticed Du Qi's role in it, Feng Deyi's cheeks twitched, feeling a little regretful. At the beginning, because of the request of the Prince of the East Palace, he facilitated Du Qi's mission.
At that time, he wanted to take the opportunity to deal with Du Qi.
Unexpectedly, when Du Qi went to Turkic as an envoy, he became a tiger descending the mountain. He even caused a huge storm in the northern Turkic, and achieved such a great victory.
Feng Deyi took a deep breath, suppressed the regret in his heart, and praised: "This time, whether it is Dingxiang County King Li Dayen, Du Qi, or General Changsun, they all contributed a lot. This battle is indeed brilliant. .¡±
A group of people kept praising.
The atmosphere is more relaxed.
Having achieved such a great victory, Datang deserves great congratulations.
But at this time, outside the Ganlu Hall, there were another hurried footsteps, and it was the three brothers Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and Li Shimin who entered together. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
