Regarding state affairs, the eldest grandson has always made a clear distinction! The famous saying, "The hen and chicken Si Chen, the only thread of family" came right from her mouth!
Therefore, when Li Shimin opened the letter, no matter how curious he was, Changsun just gently rubbed Li Shimin's shoulders from behind and did not take the opportunity to read the letter with him.
"Oh? It's a letter written by Zhang Jian!"
In the front, Li Shimin opened the letter and glanced at the signature out of habit. When he found out that it was written by Tang Jian, he couldn't help but frown slightly, and his heart suddenly sank a little!
When he first heard the man in black say the word "Shuofang", he thought it was a letter from Xiao Han to report that he was safe!
But now it was discovered that the letter was written by Tang Jian, who was known for his strict self-denial. This suddenly gave Li Shimin a bad feeling, and he even began to think of other places involuntarily!
Taking a breath and forcing himself to calm down, Li Shimin's eyes quickly moved up, and lines of clear small characters immediately came into view!
"My Emperor is in peace, I would like to express my sincere greetings... On November 12, Xiaohou and his ministers went out to Shuofang City to hunt for Xizuo. They accidentally encountered a Turkic tribe enslaving my people and killing my people! I and Xiaohou were immediately furious and ordered He slaughtered the clan and then destroyed his tribe with Zhurong's fire... When Xiao Hou returned with the corpses of his clan members, he vomited three liters of blood and is still unconscious. Fortunately, he was diagnosed and treated by a famous doctor and is no longer seriously ill...
This act of slaughtering the clan was done by the minister in a rage and without regard for the consequences! Please forgive me for your sins... Thousands of miles away, my minister Tang Jian pays my respects! "
A short letter was quickly read by Li Shimin.
After reading the last word, Li Shimin let out a sigh of relief. Instead of being as angry as Tang Jian had imagined, there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Erlang, is there any happy event?" Changsun keenly noticed her husband's faint smile, put down the hand rubbing his shoulders, and asked with a smile.
"Well, it's not really a happy event, that's all. You can see for yourself." Li Shimin handed the letter in his hand to his eldest grandson and closed his eyes to think.
The eldest grandson frowned and looked at the letter that was handed over. He hesitated for a moment. Finally, he couldn't bear his curiosity and reached out to take the letter. A pair of beautiful red phoenix eyes quickly scanned the letter.
"Ah? Massacre of the clan? Is this what Tang Jian and Xiao Han did?!" Soon, a low exclamation came from the mouth of the eldest grandson.
It is estimated that the eldest grandson would never have imagined that Tang Jian and Xiao Han, who had always been famous for their good tempers in Chang'an, could now join forces to commit such a thing as massacre! Are these still the two good old guys she knows?
"Hmph..."
Li Shimin heard the eldest grandson's surprise and snorted coldly: "Two people? I don't think so! In my opinion, Xiao Han should have done this alone! Tang Jian just took the blame!"
"ah?"
When the eldest grandson heard this, he was shocked again! He quickly read the letter from beginning to end, but didn't see any clues from it. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Erlang, how do you know that Xiao Han did this alone?"
"This letter told me." Li Shimin opened his eyes, turned around and faced his eldest grandson, and said confidently: "Look at what is written in the letter: They saw the Turks enslaving our people, so they brought up the two He was so angry that he committed massacre!
But have you ever thought about it: Tang Jian has been running to the grassland almost every year in these years! He must have seen similar things countless times. Why didn't he get angry before, but why did he get angry this time when Xiao Han first arrived in the grassland? "
"Oh?" After listening to what Li Shimin said, the eldest grandson realized something was strange. He quickly read the letter again. Seeing that it was indeed the case, he couldn't help but worry: "Then why did Tang Jian take all the responsibility on himself? Could it be Xiao Han?" Coerced him?"
"Hey, you are thinking too much! It is impossible for Xiao Han to coerce Tang Jian, and it is impossible for Tang Jian to be coerced by Xiao Han."
Li Shimin seemed to like answering questions for his eldest grandson. He stretched out his finger and pointed at the letter and said: "Let's not talk about Xiao Han fainting because of extreme anger. Just look at Tang Jian's letter. The writing is strong, the writing is steady, and the font The size is the same and the line spacing is the same, which shows that he wrote it calmly and definitely not under coercion, so Tang Jian must be willing to take the blame!"
"Oh? That's it!" In front of Li Shimin, the eldest grandson was no longer the empress of the Tang Dynasty who cared about the world. Instead, she was like an obedient and good student, listening carefully and nodding her head!
In fact, with the eldest grandson's intelligence, how could Li Shimin explain many things to her? However, even if she knows everything, she will still act ignorant in front of her husband, so as to boost his confidence! He also loved her more and more.
Perhaps this is true wisdom!
"If you say so, wasn't Xiao Han the most merciful and merciless in the past? How could he do such a thing this time? Tu Clan, even if Cheng Yaojin is allowed to go, he may not be able to do it!" Changsun asked still worriedly.
"Haha, you're right! If you let that old man Cheng Yaojin go, he will definitely not be able to massacre the clan!" Li Shimin laughed a few times this time, then changed the topic and his tone became a little grim: " The massacre of the clan is detrimental to the harmony of the world, and will be criticized verbally and writtenly by Confucian scholars. Naturally, those "smart people" like them will avoid it!
But do you know Guanyin Maid? Back when I was on the grassland, facing the powerful Turks, I made a great wish that in this life, the Turks would be wiped out! "
Perhaps he was remembering the scene on the grassland. Li Shimin, who had always been gentle and gentle in front of his eldest grandson, suddenly became more powerful. His whole body was like an unsheathed sword, and the person who was stabbing did not dare to look directly!
Li Shimin at this time should be the real Li Shimin! That invincible commander, that domineering Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, that eternal emperor who remembers history!
The eldest grandson looked at his husband happily, until he calmed down, then reluctantly asked: "Then Erlang is not going to pursue this matter?"
"Pursue him? Why pursue him?! He did what I wanted to do, and it was too late for me to be happy. How could he pursue it? It's ridiculous that Tang Jian was so smart, but this time he was unfounded and worried, and even wrote an incomprehensible letter back! Wait! When he returns to Chang'an this time, I will definitely take this matter and ridicule him several times!" Li Shimin laughed heartily, as if he felt that this was a bit unsatisfactory, and waved his hand towards the maid in the palace: "Bring the wine!"
After listening to Li Shimin's words, the eldest grandson's beautiful face also showed a trace of relief. However, when he thought about the ministers in the court, he couldn't help but feel a little worried: "But those people in the court should not be as generous as Erlang. If If they want to impeach Xiao Han..."
"Then, let them come to me! I want to see what a group of scholars can do to impeach a good general who has served the country and the ethnic group through life and death!" Taking the wine that the maid hurriedly brought, Li Shimin raised his head and took a big sip. A hint of coldness gradually appeared in the smile!
