329, Into the palace late at night (for full order)(1/2)
"That's all, you are originally from Zhongshu She, so it won't be a big deal if you are promoted to Zhongshu Ling."
"But I need to restrain my temper in the future."
Li Longji waved his hand and asked Xue Ne to step back. When only Bai Gui was left, he said something.
Bai Gui raised his eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief.
You are not afraid of the leader scolding you, but you are afraid of the leader smiling. Li Longji's implication is that he forgives Bai Gui for overstepping this time and just be more careful in the future.
"Powerful tactics? Sincerity?"
He thought.
After rewarding the generals, stabilize the morale of the army.
Next, Li Longji ordered people to bring Tubo Zanpu Chide Zuzan and Princess Jincheng.
First, although Tubo Zampu is now a prisoner of his subordinates, he is still the leader of a country and cannot be ignored. Secondly, Tubo Kingdom, which has not been solved in the past dynasties, was solved during his tenure. This can be regarded as a great achievement between the Tang Dynasty and him.
It was a glorious time, and he also enjoyed this moment, among the three armies, in front of hundreds of officials, looking down at Tubo Zampu, who once sat on an equal footing with him.
There is nothing more satisfying than this in life.
"My nephew Chide Zuzan has met the emperor's uncle."
Chidezu Zanzanpu, who was under house arrest, once again tied his face and held a jade in his hand. He was escorted by the Tang army and knelt down to pay homage to Li Longji.
"Wish you all the best for your uncle, Emperor Fuwei... In addition, my nephew also agrees with my uncle's intention to come, and I will definitely make peace with you." - "Cefu Yuangui" Volume 981
Princess Jincheng was the adopted daughter of Tang Zhongzong Li Xian. After marrying to Tubo, she was recognized as her biological daughter by Tang Ruizong Li Dan. Therefore, Chide Zuzan was not only the son-in-law of Tang Zhongzong Li Xian, but also the son-in-law of Tang Ruizong Li Dan.
Son-in-law relationship. Li Longji is Chidezuzan’s elder brother-in-law, also called uncle, so Chidezuzan considers himself Li Longji’s nephew.
"Jincheng pays homage to the imperial brother."
Princess Jincheng was also taken off the carriage, but compared to Chide Zuzan who was under house arrest, she was in an excellent situation, and she was accompanied by a dowry maid.
After seeing Chi De Zuzan and Princess Jincheng, all the officials also whispered and pointed at Chi De Zuzan.
The scene of a country's king being reduced to a prisoner was rare in a hundred years. It was just a small country. The Tang Dynasty had destroyed a lot of them, but a big country like Tubo... When they met, it was a feast for the eyes.
"The nephew and the imperial sister are exempt from the gift."
Li Longji smiled and helped the two of them.
"Chide Zuzan, since you know your mistakes, correct them and come all the way to pay tribute to Chang'an. I can't live up to the friendship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. You, Princess Jincheng, make you... the fifth-grade Prince Consort Captain."
, I don’t know how?”
He pondered for a moment and said.
In the past, although the Tang Dynasty married princesses to Tubo, they did not know how to use Shang.
Therefore, Li Longji was polite to Chide Zuzan on the surface, but the humiliation behind his back was self-evident.
"Nephew..., no, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
Chi De Zuzan had no expression on his face and was about to salute and say thanks.
Now that the country is in ruins, it would be good if he can save his life. Most people can't ask for a fifth-grade prince-in-law, and in the Tang Dynasty, the prime minister is only a third-grade.
But at this moment, Princess Jincheng standing next to him suddenly spoke.
"Brother Imperial, wait a moment..."
"I and Zanpu have always been at odds with each other in King Tubo's city. They already intend to make peace. I would like to ask your royal brother's permission to do so."
Princess Jincheng bowed down and said.
"Nunnu..."
"you……"
Chide Zuzan's face suddenly turned red with anger, and he stared at Princess Jincheng fiercely, as if he wanted to choose her to devour.
Princess Jincheng’s name is Li Nunu.
Forget about the humiliation of losing his country, now it seems that he will face the hatred of having his wife stolen again.
However, he glanced at the young general wearing bright light armor standing next to the emperor, and the anger in his heart subsided instantly, and his clenched hands dropped weakly.
Facing Bai Gui, he couldn't even think of revenge.
In the war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, Bai Gui could not say that he was a god in his military use, but Tubo's sense of powerlessness always lingered in his heart, and his majestic army directly crushed Tubo's millions of troops.
"this……"
Li Longji hesitated for a moment.
He also knew that Princess Jincheng did not want to marry Tubo Zampu. He had also heard the mourning when they entered the snow-covered plateau. However, the relationship between Princess Jincheng and him was not very close, and they had not seen each other in these years.
, there is no emotion at all.
Although he intends to humiliate Tubo Zampu, if he reconciles with Li again... it will definitely be a complete humiliation for Tubo Zampu and the remaining Tubo forces. Princess Jincheng alone cannot make him make this determination.
"While on the way, I also heard Tubo Zanpu once said... that I am not at odds with the princess, but I also want to make peace with her."
"Since Tubo Zanpu has this intention, in my opinion, it is better to agree to this matter to show that the Tang Dynasty is open-minded..."
Bai Gui calmed down and said smoothly.
"Between Bai Qing and Jincheng..."
Li Longji paused for a moment, glanced at Bai Gui and Princess Jincheng, and suddenly felt something clear in his heart.
Bai Gui was very strict in running the army and was not allowed to bring women into the camp. During the years of fighting Tubo, he had been on the snowy plateau. After the Tubo was destroyed, he entered the Tubo King's City and saw the beautiful Princess Jincheng. Princess Jincheng
We are fellow villagers with Bai Gui... After reminiscing about old times, it's normal for a man to be talented and a woman to be beautiful, something would happen in the middle.
After three years in the army, a sow competes with Diao Chan!
What's more, she's a beautiful princess.
But at this point, Li Longji would not blame Bai Gui. If Bai Gui was just an ordinary "Captain Prince Consort" who dared to do such a thing, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, he would have issued an order to punish him long ago.
, but who asked Bai Gui to destroy the two kingdoms, with such great credit, some personal relationships with a few princesses, and a few boats? This... can't count.
Isn’t it a waste of youth to be romantic?
"Zanpu actually has thoughts of reconciliation. I wonder if it can be as Bai Qing said?"
"If there are false words, I will praise you and make the decision for you!"
"By the way, this time Prime Minister Tubo committed a very serious crime by obstructing the friendship between you and us... According to my will, Prime Minister Tubo was torn apart in his car and died as a warning to others. All officials of Tubo deceived the emperor and ignored him. They are also guilty.
, the Ministry of Punishment will determine the sentence..."
Li Longji glanced at Chide Zuzan and wrote lightly.
When Bai Gui saw Li Longji's appearance, he knew that Li Longji had misunderstood. However, it was difficult for him to explain this matter. If he said that he was moved by benevolence, I'm afraid others would not believe it.
"The little king... really wants to make peace with the princess. I would like your Majesty's permission."
Chi De Zuzan's face suddenly turned pale and he said hurriedly.
Although he knew that Li Longji would not immediately deal with him like he dealt with Prime Minister Tubo, his current performance would determine whether he would die of illness a few years later or die in the future.
"Since you and Jincheng are at odds with each other, I will allow you to reconcile."
Li Longji said.
The Tubo Kingdom has been destroyed, and he no longer cares about Tubo's opinion. It's just that Princess Jincheng didn't go to great lengths to get him to agree. Now that Bai Gui, the commander-in-chief who destroyed the Tubo Kingdom, is speaking, what reason does he have to disagree.
…
The surrender ceremony and awards were completed one by one.
It was dark.
Bai Gui returned to his mansion.
The plaque of Linyi Houfu has been replaced by Daiguogongfu.
The officials he met also called him Bai Xiang.
He took off his armor, hesitated for a moment, changed into civilian clothes, and rushed to Jinxian Temple with a group of soldiers.
After telling Princess Jinxian what happened today, he went to the palace with Princess Jinxian late at night to apologize to Li Longji.
Gritty!
Li Longji must have a grudge in his heart!
Even though Bai Gui is still in the emperor's heart, he definitely does not have the favor and trust of the past. Therefore, going to the palace late at night to apologize was the second strategy Bai Gui made.
Influence state affairs with personal feelings!
This has been inevitable since ancient times.
The ruling class is cold-blooded, but the rulers are always human beings.
Although Bai Gui has been promoted to the position of Zhongshu Ling and the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister are not the same, especially for a prime minister like him who has just entered the political hall. If there are no party members, he is basically a mascot, what?
Can't decide either.
To be continued...
