Chapter 2248 Take Off Your Pants
Li Shen believed that killing innocent people to claim credit was indeed a very bad character, and the death penalty was not excessive.
Like Li Shen's guard camp, they all adopted a collective merit distribution system.
Everyone should do their job and do their own thing well.
Moreover, Li Shen was not a stingy person and he always gave generous rewards.
So there was no such thing as taking credit for something.
The two chatted for a while, and then the sound of horse hooves was heard outside, and then someone announced that the son-in-law of the emperor, Captain Zhou Daowu, had returned.
"Let him in quickly." After hearing this, Li Shen immediately ordered someone to call Zhou Daowu in.
Zhou Daowu walked in with a murderous look on his face and determined eyes.
"Your humble servant pays respect to His Royal Highness Prince Ji."
Li Shen stood up and walked in front of Zhou Daowu. Suddenly, a bloody smell rushed into Li Shen's head. He quickly blocked his mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
Then he looked Zhou Daowu up and down.
Li Shen was relieved when he found that there were no external injuries.
"Take off your pants." Li Shen blurted out.
"Ah?" Zhou Daowu and Wang Xuance were both stunned.
"Ah... no, I meant to say take off the armor." Li Shen immediately realized that he had spoken his true feelings and quickly changed his words.
He waved to several servants, and Shi Tou personally led his men forward to start removing Zhou Daowu's armor.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhou Daowu was not pretentious. This set of armor was indeed a bit heavy.
Li Shen discovered that Zhou Daowu's temperament was completely different after going to the battlefield this time.
It has more of the masculinity of a military general and less of the fragility of a scholar.
"Shitou, send someone to boil water for the prince consort and prepare for his bath."
Looking at the blood-soaked clothes, Li Shen gave another order to Shi Tou.
"Daowu, you must be exhausted. Sit down and talk."
"Some princes."
"Are you hurt anywhere?"
"Your Highness, I am not injured."
Li Shen came up and started asking about Zhou Daowu's well-being. Zhou Daowu could only helplessly answer his questions one by one.
He understood that Prince Ji was afraid that he would get hurt, so he cared so much about him and even sent his personal guards to protect him.
However, these personal guards of Prince Ji's Mansion really shocked Zhou Daowu. Their fighting power was ridiculous. They rushed forward and killed
There was no casualty in the team of 100 people.
Especially the Tie Niu who was in the lead, he was not a human either. He swung his Fang Tian Hua Ji and knocked down several of them.
One can imagine how bravely this Iron Ox would fight if he dismounted.
Where did King Ji find this monster?
No wonder Prince Ji takes this man with him wherever he goes. Eight or ten of them are no match for him.
"Daowu, when I return this time, I will report a great achievement for you. Then I will see if I can promote you to a general."
Li Shen poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhou Daowu and said.
Zhou Daowu is now only a reviewing general, and is still some distance away from being a general.
"Thank you, Your Highness, but becoming the Right Guard General will probably be difficult.
In terms of merit and seniority, I don't have the qualifications."
Zhou Daowu took the teacup and shook his head. He also knew that it was not the right time yet.
"What about financial resources?" Li Shen suddenly asked.
This made Wang Xuance on the side almost roll his eyes. The current position of the son-in-law was bought by Prince Ji from His Majesty with money.
Judging from what Prince Ji said, he is not going to use the magic of fortune-telling again, right?
Zhou Daowu was also helpless. Was his brother-in-law going to have to use money to pave the way again? But could the role of a general be bought with money?
He was one of the top figures among the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Court, responsible for dispatching the six hundred and thirty-four Zhechoufu of the Tang Dynasty.
What kind of person is that?
"Um... Your Highness Prince Ji, I know I don't have the qualifications yet and need a few more years of training."
Zhou Daowu tactfully rejected Li Shen's suggestion. He was afraid that Li Shen would really go to the emperor to buy an official position, and if he failed to buy the position, he would be punished.
"Is that so?" Li Shen nodded.
"You're right, you're still young, and it would be good for you to gain some experience, especially in deploying troops.
Now that the Tang Dynasty is strong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will expand the territory for the sake of merit after he ascends the throne.
There are three small countries in the east, the Liao people and Nanzhao in the south, Tubo in the west, and Western Turkic in the northwest.
These are all great opportunities for you to achieve success.
You must seize the time to mature, and when you return, learn more from Rengui, as he has a lot of Duke Wei's handwriting."
There are still many opportunities, and there is no shortage of opportunities. These are all merits. The only thing missing now is Zhou Daowu's ability.
"Yes, I will work hard to improve my abilities and expand the territory for the court in the future." Zhou Daowu immediately stood up and expressed his opinion.
"Okay, there are no outsiders here, and the purpose of expanding the territory is to become a marquis or a prime minister.
Go take a bath first, and when Xue Rengui and the others come back, come to discuss matters with me."
Seeing Zhou Daowu so serious, Li Shen waved his hand in boredom.
High-sounding words are of no use to him.
Zhou Daowu bowed and walked out.
"Xuan Ce, what should we do next?" Li Shen asked Wang Xuance after Zhou Daowu left.
"Your Majesty, clean up the battlefield and count the casualties. We will be staying here for a few days.
See if there are some rebels who are unaware of the news and come back.
And we also have to take inventory of some of the rebels’ loot.”
"Spoils of war?" When Li Shen heard Wang Xuance mention spoils of war, his eyes suddenly lit up. Isn't this more money?
"Hurry up, send someone to clean up the spoils immediately." Li Shen urged anxiously.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Let's clean up the battlefield first. We also need to make arrangements for the rebel prisoners.
"I have observed that quite a few people have been captured this time," Wang Xuance advised.
"I will take these captives with me and assign them to forced labor. This way, I will save a lot of labor costs."
After the workshop area was attacked, Li Shen suddenly realized that these captives were still useful.
If all else fails, send them to Japan. Besides doing work, they can also serve as vanguard troops.
Wang Xuance also agreed with this. These captives would otherwise work for the court as corvée labor.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard again outside, and the guards reported that Xue Rengui and General Li had returned.
Not long after, two men came in. Both were dressed in casual clothes and seemed to know the rules and knew to take off their armor when meeting the king.
Zhou Daowu wore armor to meet Li Shen because of their different status and Li Shen was anxious to meet him.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Ji." The two men bowed after entering.
"No need to formally greet me, Generals. You have worked hard. This great victory is all thanks to you." Li Shen said with a smile.
"I dare not take credit for anything. All of this was orchestrated by His Royal Highness Prince Ji. I am merely carrying out His Royal Highness Prince Ji's orders.
His Royal Highness Prince Ji deserves the credit." General Li spoke first, bringing out a wave of emotional value.
"Hahahaha, General Li, you're overpraising me. I didn't do anything meritorious. Don't worry, I will personally commend you two."
Li Shen was very happy. This General Li seemed to understand the ways of the world.
(After checking the information, I found that there are a group of people online who are deliberately denying our history.
Some people say that the prosperous Tang Dynasty was fake, and some say that Emperor Gaozu of Han was fake. There are many such stories.
It turns out that their desire to destroy China is still alive.)
