The Tang army's great victory in destroying Tuyuhun was originally a cause for celebration across the country.

The army returned to the court, but before reaching the capital, Li Jing was put under surveillance because someone in the court impeached Li Jing for plotting a rebellion.

You must know that treason is a serious crime under the feudal imperial system, and those in power would rather believe it than not.

Moreover, Li Jing had a large number of troops at that time, all of whom were elite soldiers. He had the prestige and strategy, so how could he not be on guard?

Fortunately, Li Shimin was a wise ruler who was very observant. After a series of investigations, he cleared Li Jing's name, and Li Jing managed to escape disaster.

The person who made the false accusation was Gao Zongsheng, who was the commander-in-chief of the Yanze Road Army.

Gao Zongsheng was a fierce general under the command of Li Shimin, the King of Qin.

Wang Wan, the nephew of Wang Shichong, who once captured Wang Shichong alive together with Yuchi Jingde in the Battle of Hulao, was one of the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty.

Gao Zongsheng lived a life of wealth and honor after Li Shimin ascended the throne. Li Shimin also appointed him as the governor of Lizhou.

Gao Zongsheng was one of the generals in this expedition against Tuyuhun, but he was a little too proud of himself and didn't listen to Li Jing's instructions.

Failure to reach the designated location as planned allowed the defeated Tuyuhun Khan Murong Fuyun to burn the grassland and escape the encirclement of the army.

Thanks to Li Jing, Hou Junji and others who risked their lives to pursue Murong Fuyun under unfavorable conditions, they were able to capture him.

Otherwise, this expedition against Tuyuhun would be in vain.

In accordance with military regulations, Li Jing severely punished Gao Zongsheng for dereliction of duty and delaying military intelligence.

This made Gao Zongsheng dissatisfied and resentful, so he colluded with Tang Fengyi, the chief officer of the Guangzhou Military Governor's Office, to falsely accuse Li Jing of treason.

Finally the truth came to light, and Li Shimin sentenced Gao Zongsheng to death for false accusations and exiled him to the frontier.

Originally, Gao Zongsheng was sentenced to death, but Li Shimin, considering his merits, gave him leniency, reduced his sentence to exile to the frontier.

This matter has come to an end.

Li Shen felt like he was listening to a novel, it was so enjoyable. Although it was not a secret, he really didn't know this part.

He was only six years old at that time, still at the age of peeing and playing in the mud, and it was not something he should know.

His father handled this matter very well and fairly, and also gave Li Jing enough face.

Compared with Li Jing and that Gao Shesheng, anyone would give up Gao Shesheng and keep Li Jing, the military god.

"Alas~~~~" After Li Shimin finished speaking, his face looked a little sad and he sighed.

Li Shen hurriedly poured another cup of tea for Li Shimin and asked.

“Aye, although the old Duke suffered a little injustice in this matter, Aye also cleared his name in the end.

And they also severely punished that Gao something student, giving him face here.

What else is he dissatisfied with?"

Of course Li Shen knew why, but he saw that Li Shimin was a little sad, so he asked directly to ease his father's emotions.

"Alas, you don't understand. Duke Wei is afraid, or he is disheartened."

Li Shimin shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Li Shen asked again.

"Since then, Duke Wei claimed that he had a chronic foot disease, and retired to his home to recuperate. From then on, he closed his door and did not ask about external affairs.

And set up a rule, that is, to close the door and guard it, to prevent guests, even relatives are not allowed to enter without permission. "

"No way, you don't even see your relatives?"

Li Shen was a little surprised when he heard Li Shimin's words. Isn't this a bit too extreme?

"I know why Duke Wei is like this, but I am the ruler of a country, and there are some things that I cannot talk to Duke Wei about directly.

Duke Wei has helped my Li family build up a large part of the country, how could I do such a thing to him?"

Li Shimin had a serious look on his face.

Li Shen nodded vigorously in cooperation, but he was disdainful in his heart because his deceased grandfather almost killed someone.

Even I, your own son, won’t believe this if I say it to others.

In order to change the subject, Li Shen continued:

"Father, Duke Wei is writing a military strategy now. I will name it "Duke Wei's Military Strategy"

It contains the lifelong experience of Lord Wei, including strategies, military management, tactics, setting up camps, deploying troops, weapons, equipment, the use of fortifications and the coordination between them.

Hmm...it seems like there's something else that I didn't remember.

Anyway, if this military book is completed, it will definitely be no less effective than Sun Wu's Art of War.

By the way, there is also a military book called “Six Army Mirror”, but I don’t know what it is about specifically.

But Xue Rengui said it was a good book. "

"Oh? There is such a thing? That would be a great honor for our Tang Dynasty. Once it is repaired, send it to the palace for me to see."

Li Shimin became interested.

"Don't worry, Father. As soon as it is repaired, I will send it to the palace for you to read."

Li Shen nodded repeatedly.

"All right."

Li Shimin stood up and stretched his muscles.

"Enough rest, it's time to get down to business."

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot about the main thing."

Li Shen was so absorbed in listening to the story that he had forgotten about his business.

"Aye, this way please. They are imprisoned in the cave behind the military camp."

Amis, Faisal and others have been detained here for almost two months.

Of course they themselves didn't know how long they had been locked up.

It was dark in the cave, with only the faint light of torches.

Since that day when King Ji left, they have not suffered any hardship. On the contrary, they have been treated very well.

There is wine and meat at every meal.

Except for not being able to go out, everything else is fine.

The Tang Dynasty only had two meals a day, so they didn't know how many days they had been here.

They are ready to die at any time.

"Ka~ka~ka~"

There were footsteps outside. Amis and his companions immediately got up and went to the door, trying to watch.

"click"

The footsteps became more and more numerous and denser, coming from far away and getting closer.

Soon a group of soldiers were seen coming over and standing on both sides of the aisle, holding torches in their hands.

Then they saw Prince Ji walking over accompanied by a middle-aged man.

Amis and the others took a look at him. He was wearing a light yellow uniform, with an imposing look on his face, and he exuded the aura of a superior.

"Stand back, stand back."

Zhao Tiejun took the key and knocked on the door, which scared Amis and the others and they quickly stepped back.

They still remember this Zhao Tiejun.

The cell door opened and Li An and a few others walked in first.

Then Li Shimin entered, followed by Li Shen.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Ji."

When several people saw Li Shen, they hurriedly saluted.

"Oh my! I haven't seen you for two months. Your Tang dialect has improved a lot."

Li Shen was slightly surprised.

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji."

Amis and others hurriedly thanked him.

Because Li Shen said to be nice to them, the Blade players were more relaxed with them and chatted with them when they had nothing to do.

Teach them some etiquette. Their Tang dialect has improved because they often chat with the Blade team members.

Li Shen nodded, and then introduced them:

"This is my Aye, the Supreme Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Khan of Heaven."
