Li Shimin felt a little relieved when he learned from Fang Yiai that Li Chengqian had not known about his visit to Prince Qi's Mansion before.
Moreover, even if the matter Fang Yiai went to Prince Qi's Mansion to discuss was comparable to Fang Yiai's military exploits, as long as there were other ways to solve it, Li Shimin would definitely not easily issue an order to interfere in the affairs of other people's clan with the emperor's orders.
.
Fang Xuanling wanted to return the power of the head of the direct branch of the Fang family. Once the emperor's order was involved, the matter could be done quickly and easily.
Even if the matter is done voluntarily by Fang Xuanling, it will cause a lot of unnecessary troubles. This will make the various aristocratic families and clans that have finally stabilized temporarily become resistant to the royal family, and then slowly be instigated by someone who is interested
, something bad happened to Li Tang.
It was precisely because of this that Li Shimin chose to believe Fang Yiai's words.
Regarding Li You's words relayed by Fang Yiai, he actually said that the reason why the angry Empress Changsun relapsed was just a "joke"! This made Li Shimin very angry.
Although he knew in his heart that Li You and the staff in his mansion were not on the same level as Li Tai and his people. From childhood to adulthood, Li Youfan never once thought of using Li Tai when he met him.
He used his own strengths to deal with Li Tai's shortcomings, but every time he used his own shortcomings to deal with Li Tai's strengths, Li Tai dug holes and buried them to death every time.
Thinking of Empress Changsun's suffering from the recurrence of her old illness, and thinking of Li Chengqian, the heir whom she was satisfied with, she was almost slandered because of the "jokes" made by Li You. The former stabbed him in the heart with a knife, and the latter slapped him directly.
His face made Li Shimin, for the first time, resentful of Li You's lack of brains.
If Li You had some brains, how could he fall into Li Tai's trap again and again? If he had made some progress, why would he have made Empress Changsun angry?
As for the real instigator, Li Tai, he didn't do all the dirty tricks, and because there was a brainless person like Li You standing in the way, Li Shimin easily ignored it, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Tiger poison does not eat its seeds.
Although Li Shimin was furious with Li You and did not want to see Li You in every possible way, it was still his own flesh and blood.
After knowing the general story in the past two days, Li Shimin has been asking people to thoroughly investigate the cause of the matter. At the same time, he has been thinking about how to give Li You a harsh lesson that will make him remember it deeply but not hurt Li too much.
You.
Now is good. I heard from Li Chengqian that Fang Yiai discussed with Li You whether he could use his military exploits to offset part of Li You's punishment, so that Li You could return to Qi safely and stay alert. He was not allowed to leave Qi easily without being summoned.
land.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for someone to give you a pillow when you doze off.
It can be said that Li Shimin solved two problems at the same time.
The first trouble is naturally dealing with Li You.
As for the second trouble, well, of course it is how to evaluate Fang Yiai's military merit and reward him for his merits.
In this Western Expedition, although Fang Yiai did not fight many times on the battlefield, if his achievements are truly considered, I am afraid that no one in the army can compare with him. He even broke out of the siege to report the news, and later followed him to fight outside the city.
Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong took over the command of the two armies directly after one day of "falling ill". Qin Huaiyu, who also fought for a day outside Duoke City, was also unable to match Fang Yiai's military achievements during this trip.
Think about it, saving Princess Yilan confirmed that the Xue Yantuo royal family was more pro-Tang and not scheming with Mn Chi.
Later, Yan Qina and King Qizhaluo Khan were rescued. Even though Yan Qina was not of much use, King Qizhaluo Khan was the real King Xue Yantuo Khan. This was also because Qizhaluo and Yan Qina both appeared in the Tang Army camp.
, this completely damaged the morale of the captives. After the war, King Qizhaluo Khan even offered the entire Xue Yantuo, and wrote a letter to request that Xue Yantuo be completely included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Emperor Li Shimin, who was already full of achievements, had another achievement in opening up new territories. He personally led the troops to the west this time and returned home with a full load. It can be said that he was in high spirits.
Furthermore, Fang Yiai hooked up with Arzhan, not only sending the proton Abin to ensure cooperation, but also convincing Arzhan, who had always been unclear about his attitude, to decisively send troops to attack the royal city of Xueyantuo.
It was also because of Arzhan's clear attitude of surrendering to the Tang Dynasty that he intimidated Xichenluo, who was almost pulled towards the Mnchi kidnappers, and made Xichenluo decisively end his ambiguous relationship with the Mnchi kidnappers and actively turned to the Tang Dynasty.
There is one thing that Fang Yiai may not be clear about, but he, Li Shimin, knows that it was precisely because of Xichenluo's timely defection as a sign of surrender that Xichenluo destroyed the Manganese abduction and contact with the Western Turks, causing the Western Turks to disappear.
Being able to step in saved Datang a lot of trouble.
Not counting the above matters, let’s talk about what was learned from the subsequent interrogation of the prisoners. It was said that when Fang Yiai was in the royal court, he accidentally destroyed the poison that Mrs. Hongxiao was about to prepare, and Manganjiu planned to use it on the battlefield with the help of fire attacks.
Poison, unintentionally, actually saved the lives of the three armies of the Tang Dynasty. This achievement alone, although it was a fluke, is not small.
If it weren't for Fang Yiai's timely and unintentional sabotage, not to mention the soldiers of the three armies of the Tang Dynasty who invaded Xue Yantuo, even the tens of thousands of people of the Tang Dynasty would have become the playthings ravaged under the feet of the manganese captors!
Combining so many achievements together, it is not an exaggeration to directly promote Fang Yiai from the fifth grade to the second grade, or even to an exceptional first-grade officer.
Fortunately, Fang Yiai actually wanted to use his military exploits to offset some of Li You's guilt within the scope of Li Shimin's permission, and help Li Shimin solve two minor troubles at hand. How could Li Shimin do anything?
The reason for being unhappy.
Although his heart was filled with joy, Li Shimin still had a sullen face, pointed at Fang Yiai and cursed Mu Wujunshang, which also affected Li Chengqian, who didn't know the details in advance.
What's the most enjoyable thing? In Li Shimin's opinion at this moment, it's just that others help you relieve your worries, and you can confidently scold people and teach them a lesson.
When he was tired of scolding, he had scolded enough, and he had also let go all the depression caused by the fight between his sons. Only then did Li Shimin feel refreshed and drive Fang Yiai and Li Chengqian away.
Exited Tai Chi Hall.
After Fang Yiai and Li Chengqian wiped away their sweat and exited the Tai Chi Hall, Li Anyang saw the corners of Li Shimin's mouth grinning uncontrollably toward the base of his ears. His upper eyelids almost touched his lower eyelids, and the exposed eye slits
, overflowing with joyful smiles.
Li Anyang's mouth twitched, then he looked at his nose and heart, and then went to change Li Shimin's tea with the right temperature again.
"Master, the prince and the prince's consort," Xiao Linzi came in quietly to deliver hot tea. In the compartment behind the screen, he made a sad face to Li Anyang who came to change the tea, and pointed to the room blocked by the screen.
On the other end, he asked in a low voice, "Where is the emperor?"
"Little brat, learn from it." Li Anyang knocked Xiao Linzi's forehead affectionately, without blaming him at all. He also lowered his voice and said, "It seems that both the prince and the consort have been reprimanded, but in fact they have really benefited.
The two are still the prince and the consort, and they are very good at it. You can tell just by looking at Master Sikong. You guys, please take your time to think about the details inside. Master can only say that the one is happy now."
Looking at Xiao Linzi's thoughtful look, Li Anyang had a look of satisfaction in his eyes, and returned to Li Shimin, who was so happy that he couldn't help but look at the tea.
After laughing a few times, Li Shimin reached out and took the new tea at a suitable temperature that Li Anyang handed over. He took a few sips to moisten his throat that was tired from scolding just now. He put down the tea cup and told Li Anyang this time, "
Go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to convey the order and let Fang Xuanling enter the palace to see you."
I knew that Li Shimin wanted to confirm with Fang Xuanling to see the authenticity of what Fang Yiai said that Fang Xuanling wanted to return the power of the head of the direct branch of the Fang family.
Li Anyang responded respectfully, turned around and went outside the hall to order people to do things.
As for the prince and the prince's son-in-law, who looked sad in Xiao Linzi's mouth, not only did they look sad, they even walked slowly and slowly, with the support of Li Qing and others, they moved away bit by bit.
Tai Chi Hall.
Damn it, Li Shimin used to make people stand when he was training, but this time it was better. I don’t know if it was because he went to Xue Yantuo, but Xue Yantuo’s people were used to kneeling these days, and they didn’t change it for a while, or what happened.
, he actually asked the two of them to kneel down to listen to the instruction. In fact, they were just listening to the scolding. They knelt down for most of an hour!
I didn't know before that Li Shimin's scolding skills were so powerful. He could even quote scriptures when he scolded individuals. He could go on scolding for such a long time without feeling dry in the mouth, let alone feeling sore in the back and legs.
It's just that the knees of Fang Yiai and Li Chengqian were pitiful.
After leaving the Tai Chi Hall, the road to the East Palace and the road out of the palace were not the same. Thinking that Li Shimin finally asked the two of them to go back and reflect, it was naturally not convenient for Fang Yiai to go to the East Palace at this juncture.
Looking apologetically at Li Chengqian who was also sweating as he walked away, Fang Yiai cupped his hands and said, "This time I have caused trouble for the prince."
"What's wrong with you? Go back and reflect on the order. It's probably going to be sunny here tomorrow." When the two came out of the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin could clearly see the smile in his eyes. This time he was forced to kneel down.
Listening to the training was nothing more than a small punishment but a big warning, and it was a small effort but a big reward. Naturally, Li Chengqian would not take this so-called implication to heart and said to Fang Yiai in a meaningful way.
The two looked at each other, and Li Chengqian pointed to a person next to him, and asked Fang Yiai to be helped out of the palace gate, and he took the person back to the East Palace without mentioning it.
When Fang Yiai slowly arrived at the palace gate, she happened to meet Fang Xuanling who was called into the palace.
"Yai'ai, what are you doing?" Fang Xuanling was shocked when she saw Fang Yiai walking towards the palace door with her weak legs. She pointed at Fang Yiai's knees and asked with concern.
