"Okay, Xiao Rui is not dead? So, Datang deliberately released false news to confuse Jieli Khan? Xue Li, you were so smart and confused for a while, I leaked this news to Jieli Khan, haha, then Even if Xiao Rui doesn’t die this time, he will die next time.”
Master Liang slapped his son down and said, "You idiot, run away quickly. These hundred swordsmen and axe-wielders can't take him down."
"Father, how can...but...are you a human or a ghost?" Only then did Liang Shidu's son realize that Xue Li had already killed twenty of the ax hands, and no one dared to attack them. Those who are facing death are retreating back.
Xue Li dropped the two sharp axes in his hands, and at some point he had reached the guy's side and grabbed his neck.
Master Liang shouted: "Be merciful, Prince Consort, he is also Xiao Shi's brother after all. Don't forget, Xiao Shi is pregnant."
Pooh! How shameless are you starting to play the emotional card again now? Just be reasonable if you can't beat me?
Xue Li tightened his grip, and the other party immediately had difficulty breathing and his face flushed, "Do you know why I dare to say so openly that my elder brother is not dead? Because everyone present today must die!"
You, you can't...
Seeing that his son was about to be strangled to death, Master Liang knelt down directly to Xue Li, "Xue Li, please, for the sake of Xiao Shi and the unborn child... I sincerely regard you as my son-in-law."
well……
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect? After all, Xue Li was not of a ruthless nature, so he let go and left the hostages aside.
He turned around and looked at the group of swordsmen. They were all frightened and kept retreating.
I don’t know who shouted, run away...
With a whoop, they all opened the door and ran out. Xue Li could let the Liang family and his son go, but it was impossible for this group of minions. Since they were not my men, they were loyal to the Liang family and his son, and they knew the secret, then none of them would Can't let it go. So he picked up a knife on the ground and chased after him.
Master Liang grabbed his two frightened sons and urged: "Go quickly, go quickly, this is a murderer..."
Walk? Where to go?
Xue Li's entourage went out to report the news and had already arranged for people to surround the palace. At this time, they had already led people to kill them. The group of swordsmen and axemen were all shot to the ground before they could get far.
"Xu Wei, the commander of Liang's imperial army, pays homage to the Prime Minister! The Prime Minister is frightened." The leading general bowed down first.
Xue Li stretched out his hand and said, "Get up. Someone comes and cleans the battlefield. General Xu, come in with me. The king has summoned you."
Pooh! What king summoned him? It's obvious that you want to capture the king.
"Father, in the Liang Kingdom, will our surname be Xue from today on?"
Master Liang said bitterly: "Maybe what he said is right. If he hadn't secretly protected us, I'm afraid our Liang country would have been destroyed in the last war, and our family would have died long ago."
"But……"
"No buts, remember from now on that he is your brother-in-law and his future achievements are limitless. You must respect him as you would your father."
Haha... There is something wrong with what Master Liang said. He is too arrogant. Your sons don't seem to have much respect for you, and they are more respectful to Jie Li.
The wisest decision Liang Shidu made in his life was to marry his daughter Liang Xiaoshi to Xue Li. If not, the three of them would not have survived this time. No, historical records show that in the second year of Zhenguan, Liang Shidu was rebelled and killed by his subordinates and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty to claim credit. Xue Li's visit to the Liang Kingdom caused Tang Dynasty to change its rebellion plan, which should be considered as helping the Liang division to avoid disaster. Otherwise he would have died.
It took two days to put down the coup in Liang, and Xue Li completely cleared the court.
Instead of killing Liang Shidu, and certainly not asking him to step down, he secretly sent Liang Shidu's sons to Datang as hostages. Master Liang was kept as a puppet. After all, Master Liang was more experienced in dealing with Turks, and Turks believed in this idiot even more.
It was announced that the crown prince of Liang was jealous of the prime minister's talents and wanted to kill Xue Li, his consort and prime minister. The two sides fought fiercely, but Xue Li won and the prince was placed under house arrest. The King of Liang had great intentions of passing the throne to his son-in-law.
Xue Li is a good person. The prince of Liang is pro-Turkish. If he kills the prince of Liang, the Turks will definitely be dissatisfied. Therefore, the first time he stabilized the situation in the court was to send his men to send heavy gifts to the Turks to stabilize Jie Li. In exchange for Jie Li's continued support for Liang Guo.
Jie Li had no doubts about him, and felt that the coup in Liang was regarded as internal strife. We didn't care, no matter who was our dog, as long as the dog was loyal to me. So Jieli accepted the gift and accepted Xue Li's sincerity. From then on, Xue Li became the new Turkic lackey. The people cursed.
In Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, the chamberlain Lao Gao reported this matter to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Liang Shidu's two sons have been sent to Chang'an. How to arrange them? Should they be secretly imprisoned in the sky prison? Otherwise, the news will be leaked. Mr. Xue in the north It’s dangerous.”
Li Er smiled from ear to ear, "I have long been optimistic about this Xue Li, but I didn't expect that this boy would be Xiao Rui again. He is impeccable at a young age and is doing better and better in Liang Kingdom."
"It stands to reason that the sons of Liang Shidu should be classified as surrendered generals, or they should be treated as idle marquises and rich men according to the treatment of surrendering to the king. It is not appropriate to be imprisoned in Tianlao. After all, they are Xue Li's uncles. elder brother."
"Let's do this. Send him to Xiaojiazhuang and let Xiao Rui educate him. The current defense of Xiaojiazhuang is probably not as good as the Tianlao. With Master Liang in hand, we are not afraid of those two boys betraying him."
Lao Gao, the chamberlain, echoed: "Your Majesty is wise. Although he is a hostage, he is still a member of Mr. Xue's family after all. It is most suitable to give it to the prince-in-law. With the prince-in-law, we are not afraid of them causing trouble."
Li Er nodded and asked something, "Last time Zang Feng said that in order to solve the problem of the five surnames and Qi Wang controlling the imperial examination, two young prime ministers are needed. Can they be selected?"
Lao Gao, the chamberlain, bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, after inspection and discussion by Prime Minister Du Xiang and others, we have indeed selected two people, one of whom is from the Prince of Qin's Palace. But we can only release them with your nod."
"Oh? Someone from Prince Qin's Mansion?" Li Er thought curiously, who is it? Don’t I know that there are so many talented prime ministers around me?
Lao Gao, the chamberlain, replied: "Xu Jingzong, a thirty-seven-year-old bachelor of the Prince of Qin's palace, is now the deputy of Taishi Ling, helping to compile the history of the country. The other one is Cen Wenwen, thirty-four years old. He was appointed by Prince Hejian in the fourth year of Wude. The talents discovered in Jingzhou are now working as Secretary Lang."
Hiss...it turned out to be these two people.
"Needless to say, Cen Wenwen, secretary man, I know his talents well and was about to mention him to Zhongshu Sheren. Alas, I didn't expect that Xiao Rui would like him. Xu Jingzong, this person was discovered by me at the beginning. Although he is talented, I always feel that this person is flashy. Since it was evaluated by the house minister and several people, I can’t be wrong until I think about it.”
"That's all, for the sake of the great cause of the imperial examination, just give it to Xiao Rui. I hope this boy can give me a surprise."
"In addition, let the prince go to Xiaojiazhuang to stay for a while in the name of visiting relatives. Tell Xiao Rui that I don't have time to discipline the child, and ask him to help train the prince."
Lao Gao, the chamberlain, was surprised and said: "Your Majesty, the prince has always been at odds with the prince consort, and he disciplines the prince. Doesn't he mean he is a tutor?"
Li Er chuckled: "In the future when I am old, the prince will eventually have to cooperate with Xiao Rui and his ministers. It is better to get in touch with him as soon as possible. As for those false reputations, Zang Feng will not care about them. Now he is pretending to be dead and living in seclusion. He does not want an official position. Brother-in-law Help train my brother-in-law, we are a family and don’t need to see anyone outside.”
Um...brother-in-law is training his brother-in-law? Lao Gao, the chamberlain, suppressed his laughter. He didn't expect that His Majesty also has a humorous side. He is the Crown Prince. When did the prince's education become so careless?
