Chapter five hundred and sixty seventh what medicine is sold in the gourd
In the original history, the funeral of Empress Changsun was held a few years ago, and Wei Zheng had to give advice to Li Shimin not to be too sad. As a result, Wei Zheng left earlier than the queen, and the queen died in a certain sense, which was even stronger on Li Shimin than in history.
Especially the one who was the one who was the one who was beloved by their most beloved youngest son, Li Zhi, was even more difficult to let go. Therefore, the face of Li Shimin who saw at the funeral was already unconcealed and deeply sad. If it weren't for the little whispering around, it would be really worrying whether Li Shimin would be in a slump.
This incident has changed a lot for Xiao Yizi. She is no longer the simple little girl or the pure girl who is just beginning to fall in love. Her face is more mature and sentimental.
The more understanding the child is as sensitive as her, the more sensitive the mind is. Her dearest brother does such a thing that is worse than beasts, causing her to lose her dear mother. She must have a lot of pain and sorrow in her heart.
Fortunately, she did not lose her kindness because of this, nor did she become a woman full of resentment or even cruelty. She was still the father's caring little cotton jacket. Although she looked very tired, she did not plant any inner demons because of this.
If this was the originally well-behaved and cute little Sie, Shi Lei's future daughter-in-law would have become evil, Shi Lei would have killed Li Zhi's slut, making him regret coming to this world for a while, even if Zhang Shigui protects him.
At the funeral, Shi Lei also met the prince Li Chengqian who had been living in seclusion recently. He was surrounded by Xue Rengui, the loyal guard leader. It can be said that during this rebellion, Xue Rengui saved Li Chengqian's life.
If he hadn't led a loyal subordinate to protect Li Chengqian, the prince would have either been killed by the commander Ananda, who had originally trusted, or was taken out, and together with the limp guards who had been fooled, he would have become the main force of the rebellion and fired the first shot of the rebellion, then he would have been speechless. How could he be like now? He could still follow Li Shimin tightly, and might have been exiled to some corner to squat and wait to die.
After seeing Shi Lei, Xue Rengui still nodded seriously and greeted him. He saw that if the conditions were not allowed, he would definitely have come over and chat with Shi Lei. Even so, his face was filled with sincere gratitude and apologies for not being able to come.
If Shi Lei hadn't reminded him many times to be careful of the prince's safety, if it weren't for the group of top experts who came from the Shi family, who had been firmly surrounding the prince with him, he would not have had the credit for rectifying the situation now, and he might have become one of the traitors or become the earliest victims.
Perhaps it was because of Xue Rengui's reminder that Li Chengqian, who had been silently following Li Shimin, also looked at Shi Lei. On his face, which was originally full of sadness, a sincere smile appeared rarely, and nodded to Shi Lei, which was considered to have greeted him.
Such a scene is obviously not a suitable place for greetings. Shi Lei also gave him a kind smile, caring and understanding in his eyes, but there was no sympathy and no consolation.
It’s not that Shi Lei is not a good friend, so he doesn’t want to let go of this friend of the same age who has experienced a major change. On the contrary, it is precisely because Shi Lei knows this friend that he does not do any useless persuasion, or clichés such as ceremonial condolences, and will not show any slight sympathy.
Because Li Chengqian is a proud person at heart, and for a proud person, this useless sympathy is not needed. Moreover, doing so is easily considered a kind of mercy, which is something they hate deeply because they always hope that they are strong, not weak.
After returning from the funeral, Shi Lei's life was basically back on track, and the trauma caused by the rebellion was gradually forgotten by people. Only those who had lost their relatives could still remember the unforgettable pain.
For example, Li Shimin, who was getting thinner because of missing his wife, not only did his hair turn white, but his body, which had already become rich, returned to his standard figure. It was inevitable that the wrinkles on his face also increased a lot.
Perhaps because she was worried about her father's health, Xiao Yizi's caring little cotton jacket has been much less recently when she came to Shi's house. When she occasionally came, she mostly followed Shi Lei and the others to learn some nourishing medicinal foods and then went back to make it for her father to eat.
With such a filial daughter taking care of her meticulous care, Li Shimin finally slowly got out of the sadness of losing her wife and picked up the affairs of the government again.
Fortunately, with the new group of important officials, Ma Zhou and others, able to support the affairs of all and big in the court. With Li Shimin a little slacking off and the older generation of important officials was already in a lack of energy, the Tang Dynasty was still running smoothly and orderly.
After Li Shimin returned, the first thing he did was to reward the group of people who made outstanding contributions in the fight against the rebellion this time.
The first place was Zhang Shigui, who played a decisive role in suppressing the rebellion. It was him who quickly extinguished the main force of the rebellion and strangled the spreading momentum, and at the same time, he also wanted to ensure that the northern gate of the Tang Dynasty did not give the northern alien races an opportunity because of this domestic rebellion. His first contribution was undisputed.
The reward given to him was naturally the most generous. In addition to adding a first-rank void position to him, his title was once again promoted and he became one of the top dukes. Even the reward of the real title that Li Shimin, who had been very stingy since he came to power, added 300 households to him.
In addition, he also awarded his other legitimate son a title, which was definitely a very grand reward, and the Zhang family completely entered the class of top-notch nobles.
Of course, the other veterans who have always stood firmly on Li Shimin's side also have rewards, but they are not as dazzling as Zhang Shigui.
Xue Rengui ranked second. Although he did not upgrade his position, he was still the escort of the Eastern Palace. He probably wanted to leave this general completely to Li Chengqian. He did not have too much incest, but he also gave him a formal title.
This is also an extremely rare favor in the past decade. Since Li Shimin came to power, he not only rarely added new titles, but has been committed to reducing the empire's expenditures or losses in terms of titles, so he definitely looked at Xue Rengui differently.
Shi Lei's leisure life ended helplessly, and he was arranged to return to the left supervisor's guard, but this time he would definitely not be the title of General of the Central Army, but became the general of the guard.
There is no way. There are too many imperial guards involved in this rebellion. Although the responsibilities of most ordinary guards are not investigated in depth, the generals who took the lead have been beheaded many times.
The treatment of the first offender and the accomplice is naturally different. The accomplice can be said to be the law and not the public. There are not many people who take the lead. The Tang Dynasty has never lacked excellent generals, so there is no pressure to kill them. Isn’t this a lot of positions available? It is not necessarily a bad thing to be able to promote some outstanding newcomers.
Shi Lei's performance in the rebellion is also remarkable. Moreover, as a general or a level transfer, he still went from a third-rank position and returned to the left-level guard who he had been in for a long time. He can also play a role in stabilizing people's hearts. In any aspect, it is very suitable.
Among the two people discovered by Shi Lei personally, Xue Rengui's current position is naturally of great importance, and everyone can see that it will be the beginning of his true success after Li Chengqian ascended the throne.
Then another Xi Junmai, who had just started his position, naturally did not disappoint Shi Lei. Although he did not have the opportunity as good as Xue Rengui, he had never moved in the position of the left guard General of the Gate of the Left Supervision Bureau before, but in this rebellion, he also led his soldiers and made considerable contributions.
It can be said that he and his subordinates were one of the main forces in the palace to resist the rebels. Naturally, he would not be left behind in this wave of rewards. He was directly mentioned as the most important Xuanwu Sect and became the most important janitor of Li Shimin. His trust in him can also be seen.
After Shi Lei took office, he took over his men and was very familiar with him. He used to be a comrade who was always with him and was well aware of each other. Therefore, Shi Lei took over very quickly. It didn't take long to make things in the army correct.
Just when he thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, Li Shimin once again called him, saying that he had something to discuss with him.
This made Shi Lei very nervous. I don’t know what Li Shimin sold in the gourd. “Discussion”! He is a famous general with simple brains. What should he do if he needs to use “Discussion”? Shi Lei is completely confused. He is used to Li Shimin’s style of direct orders, and suddenly becomes so tactful, Shi Lei is a little reluctant to accept it.
