The news of Mu Chen and Cheng Sanfu returning to Chang 'an spread like wildfire in the city.
There were countless versions of legends.
Some even described Mu Chen as an extremely terrifying figure, specifically used to scare their children who were disobedient and did not sleep well at night.
Strangely enough, every time these children heard that the Killer God of Hell was coming to find them, they would be shocked.
She immediately stopped crying and lay down to sleep.
However, this news had also spread to the Royal Palace of Chang 'an.
Taiji Palace, Taiji Palace.
The civil and military officials bowed to the Emperor and stood on both sides.
Li Er sat on the dragon throne in the middle, looking dignified without being angry.
"Everyone, I believe that you have heard the news that Cheng Zhijie and Mu Chen are returning to Chang 'an, right? Why don't you share your opinions?”Li Er said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the civil and military officials on both sides began to whisper to each other.
Everyone expressed their own views and opinions.
"Your Majesty, Cheng Zhijie's contribution to the north is naturally not small. However, in my opinion, Cheng Zhijie's greatest contribution is that he discovered Mu Chen in the desert.”Xuan Ling was the first to step out.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the civil and military officials nodded.
Now, the legend of Mu Chen had spread throughout Chang 'an.
He had led eighteen Yan Cavalry to break into the camp of the Turkic barbarians alone, and he had cooperated with the Tang army to destroy a tribe.
Such a feat was a blessing for the Great Tang.
"Hahaha, Your Majesty, I've also heard about it. I didn't expect Old Cheng to find such a capable person. I thought that Old Cheng only knew how to matchmake!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Taiji Palace burst into laughter. Even Li Er laughed along.
The person who spoke was Yuchi Gong, a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty. He was also one of the two door gods, along with Duke Qin.
"Hmph, Yuchi Jingde, don't be too confident. In my opinion, it's still too early to say whether he has talent or not. He's only a teenager, yet he was able to slaughter an entire Turkic tribe. There must be some sort of trick to this, right? Who in the world would have such ability? And he only brought 18 cavalrymen? This is nonsense!"
In the Imperial Court, everyone had no doubts about this matter.
One person stood out, but he poured a huge basin of cold water on everyone present.
The person who spoke was called Zhang Shigui, and it was recorded in history.
This person was a famous general from the early Tang Dynasty. He had made many extraordinary contributions and could be considered a valiant general.
However, he also had a big flaw. Jealousy was synonymous with him. In Zhang Shigui's heart, he was jealous of everyone who was more talented than him.
This included the people from the Tile Gang Village. He had always disliked the Tile Gang Village and was in a hostile state.
In his opinion, he had also made outstanding contributions back then.
In the end, their status and achievements were far inferior to those bandits who had established their own sects.
Now that Cheng Sanfu was in the Great Desert of the Desolate North, he found a great talent like Mu Chen, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.
That was why he had rebuked Yuchi Gong in the court.
"Nonsense? Hmph, Zhang Shigui, what do you mean by that? Could it be that Old Cheng was so bold that he deceived the emperor?”Yuchi Jingde was also famous for his explosive temper.
Although he was not from the Tile Gang Village, his relationship with Cheng Sanfu had always been good.
Now that he heard this, Yuchi Gong was about to turn hostile.
"I don't know if he's deceiving the emperor, but Cheng Zhijie has always been so bold and reckless. I believe Your Majesty knows this!”Zhang Shigui sneered.
"You, Zhang Shigui, are you looking for a beating?”Yuchi Jingde saw that he couldn't argue.
He took a few big steps over and was about to attack Zhang Shigui.
In fact, from the moment Zhang Shigui walked out and spoke, all the officials in the court were dissatisfied with him.
Especially the people from the Tile Gang Village, they were all gnashing their teeth in hatred.
However, this was Taiji Palace, and His Majesty was still sitting in front.
If he really wanted to make a move, wouldn't he be looking for trouble?
Therefore, Qin Shubao, Duke Du, Xuan Ling, and the others hurriedly came forward and stopped Yuchi Gong.
"Jing De, calm down, don't be rash!”
"This is Taiji Palace. His Majesty is still watching.”
"That Zhang Shigui is just a piece of rat sh * t. Why are you fighting with sh * t? Aren't you afraid of dirtying your hands?"
"That's right, that's right. Let him say whatever he wants to say. We know Old Cheng's character. Moreover, His Majesty will give Old Cheng justice!”
"Respect!"
A few people came forward to stop the fight, but at the same time, they scolded Zhang Shigui.
After hearing these words, the rest of the people were shocked.
All of them lowered their heads and laughed secretly, but none of them dared to say a word.
At this moment, Zhang Shigui's face was livid with anger.
He gritted his teeth and glared at Yuchi Gong and the people around him."You, you, you, you!"
"Your Majesty, Yuchi Gong dared to beat me up in Taiji Palace. Xuanling, Duke Du, and the others also insulted me. I hope Your Majesty can make a decision and punish them."
This Zhang Shigui was truly a despicable person. He had slandered Li Er in front of all the civil and military officials.
However, when Li Er heard this, his face darkened.
"I'm a little tired. Everyone, you can continue to discuss here. I'll go back and rest first. Oh right, I'll make arrangements. On the day Cheng Zhijie and the others return, I'll personally go out of the city to welcome them!”Li Er said.
"We obey your orders!"
All the officials said in unison.
Until Li Er left Taiji Palace accompanied by a few eunuchs.
All the officials in the court also walked out.
Yuchi Jingde stared at Zhang Shigui and said,""Good, good, good. Zhang, you actually dare to complain? Alright, when Old Cheng comes back, we'll settle this score properly. Hmph!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuchi Gong walked out of the hall with Duke Qin, Duke Du, and the others.
Only Zhang Shigui was left standing there with a dumbfounded expression.
Although Yuchi Gong and Cheng Sanfu were both of high status and authority.
However, what he was really afraid of was not these two people, but the more hot-tempered Niu Jinda.
That was the true fearlessness. If Niu Jinda really knew what happened today,
Zhang Shigui shuddered at the thought of this.
This matter still needs to be discussed at length
