As for himself, he went straight back to the Prince of Qin's residence, took a nice hot bath, and went to bed.
He had been traveling for months on end, and he was completely exhausted.
Even now, when he's lying in bed, he feels the bed shaking constantly.
Li Shimin was in no better shape; he slept for three days before recovering somewhat.
Li Shimin originally wanted to rest for a few more days, but because there were too many things to do, he struggled to get up and get back to work.
First, a banquet should be held for the officials to celebrate their merits in this battle and in raising provisions.
Secondly, various celebrations and sacrificial ceremonies must be held.
For example, rewarding the three armies and presenting prisoners of war at the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
It will take at least a month to finish all of this.
Just as Li Shimin was thinking about who could share his burden, he suddenly saw a blue-covered memorial on his desk.
Generally speaking, such memorials are not common.
According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, this color was only used for impeaching others.
Li Shimin was displeased when he saw the memorial. He had just returned from a great victory, and someone had already submitted a memorial to impeach him.
Although Li Shimin was very displeased, he still picked up the memorial and read it. He saw that the memorial listed more than a dozen crimes, all of which were impeachments against Li Jue.

Then he said that he had sent his troops to forcibly break into civilian homes, causing extremely negative consequences.
Finally, it was said that he practiced nepotism, engaged in favoritism and bribery, and placed a large number of his cronies in Hebei, Shandong, and other places...

In fact, Li Shimin knew many of the things mentioned in the impeachment memorial, and it was even Li Jue who instructed him to do so.
However, there was something he didn't know, namely, the matter of letting soldiers forcibly break into civilian homes...
Should we give Li Jue a warning?
After a slight hesitation, Li Shimin decided to let it go. This grandson had not only contributed a lot to his Goguryeo mission, but had even fought several real battles with him.
If I were to suppress him upon my return, wouldn't I be just like Li Yuan back then?
Since we can't suppress Li Jue, we can only deal with this fool.
Li Shimin picked up the impeachment memorial again and glanced at the name on the cover.
Geng Jingming, a senior official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs?
What is this thing? I have no recollection of it at all.
