In the Hall of Dew.
Li Shi Min was like a wounded beast.
With Li Ke's stirring.
He felt that his control over the empire was getting weaker and weaker.
It made him feel extremely aggrieved.
And in this state.
The battle report of Tubo was once again sent into the palace.
Looking at the battle report, Li Shi Min's furious mood finally improved.
"My son is so brave! From then on, there will be no more trouble for Tubo."
He praised loudly.
Soon after.
He pondered for a while.
He called Li Junxian over and personally wrote a letter to him.
"Send this letter to the King of Wu with a hundred elite cavalry and deliver it secretly to Songzhou City!”
Li Junxian nodded and immediately summoned his elite cavalry.
He sent the secret letter from Li Shimin out of Chang 'an.
Not long after.
Li Shimin left the palace and secretly came to Li Jing's residence.
"Your Majesty."
Li Jing's expression was calm.
However, Li Shi Min could feel the depression in his heart.
For the safety of the Great Tang, he had led his army into a fierce battle against the Turkic wolf cavalry.
Stepping on the steppe, exterminating the Turks and expanding the Great Tang's territory.
Even though he had only participated in the battle, this achievement was still considered shocking.
But now.
However, he was trapped in his residence, unable to enjoy the glory and applause that he should have enjoyed.
What kind of humiliation was this!
Li Shi Min sighed and bowed slightly to Li Jing.
"Apothecary, I…I'm sorry!”
Li Jing quickly helped him up.
"Your Majesty, why do you have to do this? The alliance of the aristocratic families is the general trend.
I have no complaints about the general trend.
It's just that I pity the men under my command. They risked their lives to serve the empire, but not only did they not get any credit, but they were also humiliated like this.
One day, I will kill all the vermin of the aristocratic families!”
Speaking of aristocratic families.
Li Jing's face was filled with crazy killing intent.
Li Shi Min smiled bitterly.
"This is my fault. I didn't expect these people to be so crazy.”
Li Jing sighed." Your Majesty, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, the army will mutiny and the empire will be in danger!"”
Li Shi Min's expression became serious." Don't worry," he said." I've already sent someone to secretly send a letter to the Third Prince. He's the only one who can resolve the crisis of the empire."”
Li Jing's expression relaxed.
"Leave this matter to the King of Wu to handle.”
Li Shi Min's mouth twitched.
He felt as if his face had been slapped hard.
In the end.
In the hearts of Li Jing and the others, he was not as reliable as Li Ke, who caused trouble?
Li Shi Min felt an internal injury.
He discussed the plans of the Turks with Li Jing for a while more before quietly leaving Duke Wei's estate.
Very quickly.
Almost all the big shots in the military knew that the Emperor had sent a letter to Li Ke.
Everyone calmed down.
However, the middle and lower ranks of the Great Tang military did not know about this.
The undercurrents were surging.
The army mutiny seemed like it could happen at any moment!
The aristocratic families were happy to see this happen.
In any case, the Great Tang's border troubles had been resolved, and it was better to have internal chaos.
It was even more beneficial for the aristocratic families to take advantage of the opportunity to obtain benefits.
Benefits.
That was what the aristocratic families would pursue forever!
……
……
Li Ke led his elite troops and brought Empress Xiao back.
However, hundreds of miles away from Songzhou City…
He had discovered a hidden Tang army in one of the tribes he had slaughtered!
"Investigate what happened."
Li Ke waved his hand.
Naturally, Liu Rengui and Luo Tong went to investigate.
Very quickly.
They found out the results.
"Your Highness, these soldiers are the Tang soldiers who entered Tibet with Xue Wanche, Yuwen Fa, and Dugu Zhan.
However, due to altitude sickness, the army was unable to advance.
Then, Xue Wanche and the others met State Duke Lu. After being ridiculed, the three generals started fighting among themselves.
In the end, the three of them were injured and suffered from altitude sickness. They died on the way back to Songzhou.
The general had died, and a large number of comrades had died here.
Therefore, these soldiers were afraid of punishment and hid here, wanting to wait until the war was over before returning to their hometown.”
After hearing Liu Rengui's report.
Li Ke had a strange expression.
"The spokesperson chosen by the aristocratic families is really interesting.”
He sneered coldly.
Suddenly.
A general rushed out from the group of soldiers.
"Your Highness, I want to follow you!"
He rushed in front of Li Ke and knelt on the ground.
Luo Tong's expression changed, and he was about to attack.
Li Ke waved his hand and asked,"You have some guts. What's your name?"”
"Your Highness, my name is Xue Rengui!”
Xue Rengui!
Li Ke's eyes flashed with surprise.
He hadn't expected to meet a future famous general of the Great Tang!
He pondered for a while and waved his hand." You can follow This King, but This King doesn't raise trash!"”
"I'm not a good-for-nothing either!" Xue Rengui said with his head held high.”
Li Ke ignored him. His eyes flickered slightly as he said,"If you want to prove that you are not trash, I will give you three days to clean up these soldiers.
If possible, bring your troops to Songzhou City and I will take you in!
If it doesn't work, then you'll have to fend for yourself!”
Xue Rengui was fearless.
"Rest assured, Your Highness. I will not disappoint you!"”
Li Ke waved his hand.
He turned around and left with his men.
Xue Rengui and the other soldiers remained here.
Three days later.
Li Ke arrived at Songzhou City.
The messenger sent by Li Shi Min was already waiting there.
He opened the secret letter.
Li Ke read ten lines at a glance.
A few breaths later.
He crumpled the secret letter into a ball and crushed it into pieces.
"Your Highness…"
Liu Rengui and the others were slightly worried.
Li Ke raised his head." The aristocratic families took advantage of my absence to seize half of the benefits of destroying the Turks. Moreover, when the Duke of Wei and the others returned to court a few days ago, all the generals who went out to attack the Turks were impeached."”
Instantly.
Liu Rengui, Luo Tong, and the other martial meritorious disciples were furious.
"Bastard! Not only did this group of vermin gain a large amount of benefits without any merit, but they actually dared to treat meritorious officials like this. They were simply not sons!”
"Your Highness, what should we do now?”
"Whatever Your Highness says, we will do. We will listen to Your Highness!”
