Chapter 374

The next day, the Taiji Hall of the Imperial Palace.

"Goro, you did a great job on this trip to Youzhou!"

Hearing Li Er's praise, Li Yuanying hurriedly waved his hands, "Brother Huang is absurdly praised, and my ministers dare not take credit for it. It's all the soldiers who use their lives, especially the fourth brother, who took the lead in attacking the city..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yuanba, the fourth son next to him, sneered and complained: "Don't mention the siege, it's embarrassing to be robbed of the limelight by Yuwen Chengdu!"

Li Er laughed loudly and said: "Fourth brother, although you and Yu Wencheng were old enemies back then, but now that the enmity is over, don't hold on to it."

"I don't care about military exploits with him, I just can't bear this guy showing off in front of me, making him look like the best in the world?" Li Yuanba objected.

"No. [-] in the world? Fourth brother, for up to five years, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your No. [-] position in the world. Will you still compete with Lao Tie? Do you want to be No. [-] in the world?" Li Yuanying joked, "No, It should be number three in the world."

"Oh? How do you say that? In a few years, Xiao Doudou will grow up and become the number one in the world. Shouldn't they be fighting for the second place? Why is it third?" Li Er was puzzled. Could there be something hidden? Master?

"Second brother, you don't know yet. On this trip, Xiao Doudou and the others met a young genius on the way to Youzhou, a future peerless general named Xue Li. This young man is also born with supernatural powers and is versatile in both civil and military affairs." He has excellent talent, and has been accepted as a closed disciple by Yuwen Chengdu. This battle broke through the Goguryeo pass, and although the young general Xue Li is a young man, he is brave."

Hearing Li Yuanying praise a young man so much, Li Er was also very interested, and he was very excited when he heard it. He asked on the spot that he must see it for himself some other day.

"Tch, he was just lucky. A blind cat met a dead mouse. If I was there, would he dare to rob me? This disciple... Huh! But it doesn't matter, he is a closed disciple, and we Xiaodoudou are not bad. In the future Comparing the two, the number one student in the world is still my closed disciple, which proves that I am also better than him." Li Yuanba said dissatisfied.

"Tsk tsk, why do these words sound so sour..." Li Yuanying couldn't help laughing.

"You, Goro, how about fourth brother to practice with you?"

"No, no, fourth brother, I was wrong. Whether it is teaching apprentices or personal martial arts, you are the number one in the Tang Dynasty. I will prove it to you!"

"You don't need to prove it, I will let Yu Wencheng tell it in person, if you don't tell me, I will call him and tell him!"

……

After the three brothers joked, Li Er went on to the next topic and said: "Wulang, I said you did a great job, not referring to destroying the city and saving people, but dismantling the Jingguan and bringing back the bones of the Central Plains soldiers who died on the border. "

"Hey, Second Brother, I'm serious! Now that the city has been breached, the Jingguan is right in front of my eyes. It's impossible for anyone to pretend not to see it. It can't be my credit."

Li Erbai glanced at him and said: "Don't pretend to be confused with me. That is, you Wulang, whoever you change, would not dare to say that you will take back this batch of bones. Have you seen the memorials in front of me? They are all impeachments. Because of your prestige, none of them would dare to name and impeach you for those who support the former Sui Dynasty.”

What? ? ?
Both Li Yuanying and Li Yuanba were very puzzled. Li Yuanying didn't expect such nonsense.I am the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, is it possible that I still supported the former Sui Dynasty and supported the restoration?
Li Yuanba thought, what is a group of women and children making such a fuss about?If you are free, if you can't, all of them will be sent to the border to join the army.

"Then what do you think, second brother?" Li Yuanying asked back.

That is, if he, the unscrupulous king of Qin, dared to ask such a direct question, who would dare to question the emperor?
Li Er smiled and scolded: "You boy, I didn't say it just now, you are doing very well! In the early years, I persuaded my father that one day the Tang Dynasty will be strong, and I will send people to contact Goguryeo and let them demolish the capital. Look at it. Although it was left behind by the former Sui Dynasty, they are all the bones of Zhongyuan Erlang after all, and it is impossible for a group of foreigners to ridicule and humiliate us."

"However, in recent years, the internal and external troubles of the Tang Dynasty have not stopped for a day, and there is no time to pay attention to it. I heard that King Rongliu of Goguryeo even wanted to build a small Great Wall on the border. He is probably afraid that our Tang Dynasty will become stronger. Follow the example of the former Sui Dynasty and come to Goguryeo for the Three Conquests. Hehe, this old man has a big heart, but unfortunately his life is not long, and he died before the construction of the Great Wall started." Li Er said with emotion.

"Wulang, you boy, they say that you have a kind heart, and you are the most benevolent person in the world, a living Bodhisattva. But you go and kill the only heir of King Rongliu to sacrifice the flag, which is cruel enough."

"Ruthless?" Li Yuanying didn't care, but laughed loudly: "Is this called ruthless? Second brother, don't want to wrong my younger brother. My ruthlessness is only for outsiders, but for our own people, but only kindness. The surrounding wolves Waiting around, from time to time, it's like eating two mouthfuls of fat at my Tang, if I'm kind to them, wouldn't I be an enemy?"

"Okay! Sure enough, he is my fifth younger brother. Although you are a civil servant, it is absolutely true that General Tian Ce gave it to you. You are more transparent than anyone else." Li Er clapped his palms and praised.

"Don't mention Admiral Tiance, I'm just a vacant post, and I can't even recognize the generals in the court. If you want to talk about this position, fourth brother is more suitable than me."

"If you don't want to do it, don't push it to me. Let me fight and lead the way, and let me make decisions and plan state affairs in the middle. Cough cough, headache!" Li Yuanba performed headache on the spot.

The hearty laughter of the three brothers came from the Tai Chi Hall.

Li Yuanying said with emotion: "This trip is because Chengqian was arrested, and I have been frightened along the way. Fortunately, this child is auspicious and has returned safely. Otherwise, how can I explain to my brother and sister-in-law? By the way, second brother, I want to ask you for an official. It was Ling Feiyan who helped rescue Chengqian, and I agreed to let him go to Dali Temple to serve as the head of the sixth rank, responsible for criminal investigation and solving cases, you have to give me this face."

"Wulang, you are not sincere, you still need to discuss with me about trivial matters? Are you hitting your second brother in the face?" Li Er pretended to be angry and said: "Let's not say that he sacrificed his life to save Chengqian, but just rely on your Wulang's face, don't tell him. A sixth-rank chief, you just want him to be the Minister of Dali Temple, just a word, no need to ask me for instructions. Who in the court refuses to accept your King Qin's loyalty to the country? The people you recommend are all talents."

"Isn't that kid from a bad background, and he also violated your taboo, second brother, and he hasn't withdrawn the sea arrest document for stealing the imperial decree."

Li Er laughed and said: "Speaking of this person, I have an idea to discuss with you. Youdao recommends talents for the country, regardless of background, only talents are recommended. Although people like Ling Feiyan have dirty hands and feet, and even have a criminal record They are alive, but if they are all caught in prison, I am afraid that there will not be enough prisons in the Tang Dynasty.”

"Are you still afraid of this? Wouldn't it be enough to send them all to the mines to do coolies? How can it help the atmosphere of the wicked to roam free in the world?" Li Yuanba was very blunt.

Putting his hands down on the two younger brothers, Li Er suggested, "Through this Ling Feiyan, I'm thinking that these people are not really evil, their crimes are not worthy of death, and they possess unique skills, so they can be regarded as crooked talents. Let them do coolies Or going to prison, is it a waste? For example, Ling Feiyan, although he steals, he still has the country in his heart, so he is a talent who is loyal to the country."

"Can you gather these people together and let them walk in the sun with their sinful bodies, doing things for the government and the common people. In this way, they don't have to do harm to the world, and don't have to spend time in prison, killing two birds with one stone. I even thought of a name." Li Er said with bright eyes.

Li Yuanying's heart moved, and a word came to mind, shouldn't it be that?
"Second brother, this plan is very clever. I wonder what names you plan to call these people?"

"Since they are wearing the body of guilt, they are called bad people, how about it? Datang bad people?"
