Chapter seven hundred and eighty seventh victory over the country
Just after the Tang Dynasty New Year, the victory in the northern part was spread to Chang'an City. The emperor ordered the celebration for three days and the lights of the entertainment city remained out for ten days.
The Goguryeo Peninsula took four months to destroy it. This is a world-wide achievement. Yang Guang, the former Sui Dynasty, failed to achieve his three attacks. The Tang Dynasty was successful in April. It has to be said that this was the favor of heaven, and the Tang Dynasty was obviously of extraordinary luck.
Gao Jianwen, the king of Goguryeo, was escorted to Chang'an City and was also named a wealthy prince. Even he himself felt that it would be meaningless to just live a life of life and wait for death in the future. However, when Du Gou and his wife came to the door, Gao Jianwen realized that he was almost a grandfather.
Although I almost forgot what my daughter was named, I was able to gain a foothold in the wealth circle of Chang'an City. Obviously, this is my hope for retirement in the future. From then on, this tragic King of Goguryeo once again found the meaning of the rest of his life.
As for whether anyone can gossip about Du Ruhui's marriage to Goguryeo, even Emperor Li Er gave gifts to congratulate him, who dared to gossip again?
Emperor Li Er was like in a dream at this time. Looking back at just one year ago, the Tang Dynasty had already made unparalleled achievements, sweeping the grasslands in the north and destroying the peninsula in the east. The army was invincible and unstoppable. It can be said that if the Western Turks were destroyed, the Tang Dynasty could achieve the achievements of Emperor Wu of Han.
After sending the government to the Peninsula to An People's Government, Emperor Li Er recalled the 300,000 troops outside, and Li Jing, Hou Junji and other generals returned to Chang'an to reward merits.
At the first dynasty meeting of the New Year, Li Er promulgated the latest personnel appointments and removals, and promoted a large number of young civil and military officials. Those old ministers who were willing to retire were placed in idle positions, such as Li Jing, Qin Shubao, etc., all of whom had idle positions in the court.
However, the rewards for the dynasty were just over, and those who were asking for trouble came one after another. It was no one else. The old leader of the Cui clan of the Boling family sued the imperial court in the name of the family, suing Cheng Zhijie, the general of the Right Wu Guard of the Tang Dynasty.
Such a move obviously gave Emperor Li Er a slap on the spot. Just after the reward was given, you want me to punish me? Is this a slap in the face by myself?
"What's the matter with the complaint from General Cheng, Boling Cui, what's wrong with you?" Li Er asked with a gloomy face. Cui was ringing the palace drum to complain to the emperor, obviously trying to make a big deal.
"Your Majesty, my Boling Cui family has a blood branch that is in Goguryeo. Before this war, the other party took the initiative to recognize his ancestors and return to his hometown, and wanted to serve as a supporter for our army to break the city.
Who would have thought that Cheng Zhijie would massacre all the way, and he would slaughter all the children of my Goguryeo Cui family without distinguishing himself from his enemies. Please ask His Majesty to make the decision for us."
As soon as the words were finished, before the military could tell the difference, Cui Dunli, the Minister of War of the Cui clan of Boling, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, during the war, Prime Minister Du went to the Liaodong camp to announce the imperial edict. General Cheng Zhijie tore the imperial edict to pieces in public. Such a great rebellious act is not enough to be a ruler. Please observe clearly."
You... Cheng Zhi's solar term is filled with smoke. Good you Cui Dunli, as the Minister of War, he is a military member. Everyone will never mention it when they come back from the battlefield. You actually took the initiative to make enemies today.
In fact, this is not something to think about. As a child of a large family, when making enemies in the family, you must stand on the side of the family and help the family defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. This is the purpose of the family cultivating children, not to train you peacemakers.
Originally, the general's massacre mentioned by the head of the Cui clan, everyone thought that the matter was not big. Cheng Zhijie could pass it with a little price, but it would be different to tear up the imperial edict. This is the crime of beheading.
Li Er's face suddenly pulled down and asked Li Jing, "Is there anything wrong?"
Li Jing is the commander of the army, and such a major event was not written in the military newspaper? This is suspected of deceiving the emperor.
In fact, Li Jing cannot be blamed. The army had planned it and after the army returned to the court, they immediately pleaded with the emperor. No matter how serious the crime was in the victory, they would be exempted.
But I didn't expect the time to be wrong. Emperor Li Er was very happy. The army returned to the court just after the New Year. It happened to be the time of the grand ceremony. He just set off the troops and directly rewarded the court. This made Li Er Da furious. He was slapped in the face and was in a bad mood. Now, Cheng Zhi finished the festival too much.
Without waiting for Li Jing to explain, Du Ruhui was the first to stand up. As the one who proclaimed the imperial edict, he seemed to have more say than Li Jing at this time, but tearing up the imperial edict was in full view of everyone, so it might not be so easy to get over it.
"Your Majesty, there is something else in the fact that day.
I brought Your Majesty’s secret letter of imperial edict. After the imperial edict was announced, the generals were puzzled and misunderstood that Your Majesty’s order was a war of attrition rather than a war of war.
As we all know, General Cheng Zhijie fought with Goguryeo in five cities including Liaodong for several years. Tens of thousands of troops of Goguryeo sneaked into our five cities in Liaodong. Many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were killed and injured. This was a thorn in General Cheng's heart. In order to avenge his dead robes, General Cheng had been unwilling to eat and couldn't sleep at night for several years.
He was trying to kill the enemy and avenge him in one breath, and was waiting for this day. When he heard the imperial edict of His Majesty that he would not use military combat this time, he lost his mind for a moment. In his anger, he accidentally spread his anger on the imperial edict.
But after His Majesty's secret letter was released, General Cheng knew his mistake and originally wanted to return to the court to apologize to His Majesty in person.
However, the war was about to be used, and the general was prudent in his talent. He thought that General Cheng had already regretted his unintentional mistakes, so he was sentenced to avenge his meritorious service. In the battle of Goguryeo, General Cheng did not want any military achievements, and he only wanted to follow the army to fight to avenge his robes.
The above is the entire process of General Cheng’s misunderstanding of destroying the imperial edict, and all the generals present at that time were proof of it.”
Du Ruhui's words made the audience speechless. Both civil and military officials were convinced by it. Hearing it in everyone's ears, there was no such thing as defending Cheng Zhijie. This was obviously a good general who did not do anything to avenge his robes.
Du Gou, deputy minister of Honglu Temple, couldn't help but secretly give his father Du Ruhui a thumbs up, and the ginger is still so hot.
Cheng Yaojin, who had a great acting skills, was already crying and bowing, lying on the ground and crying in silence. At this time, as the person involved, he did not have to say anything, but could prove everything with just feelings.
Li Er was moved to hear this and took the initiative to walk off the throne, helped Cheng Yaojin up with his own hands, wiped away his tears, and advised warmly: "Knowing the truth, you have suffered."
"General Cheng's tore up the imperial edict is here to stop. Is it wrong to avenge his robes? My life is given to him. If a real man is ungrateful and does not know how to avenge his revenge, what is the point of living?
Not to mention that it was torn up an imperial edict, it would not be an exaggeration to blame me in person.
Knowing that one has no faults and no merits, the pharmacist, what is the military’s merits? Why don’t such good generals be rewarded?"
Li Er's words made the Cui family confused. The complaints when we came were not to come and praise you for your confidant.
