Chapter 5 The fifth chapter of Li Yuan's proclaiming emperor Chang'an City Yuanji Sapo Chengqian Palace

It has been more than a month since Li Yuan's army besieged Chang'an, the time sequence has entered October, it is already late autumn, the red leaves on the distant mountains are all hanging, and the nearby trees and grass are gradually turning yellow.During this period, Li Yuan sent people into the city many times, and wrote a letter explaining that he still respected the Sui Dynasty as the great unification after gaining Chang'an, but the court ignored it.On the 27th, Li Yuan ordered to attack the city.At this moment in Chang'an, the defense was empty. General Zuo Yiwei Yin Shishi and Cheng Guyi of Jingzhao County organized troops to block from the left and right, but they were stretched and felt weak.In less than five hours, Li Yuan's army opened gaps in many places in the city wall, and soldiers rushed into the city like a tide.Sun Hua, the commander of the army, took the lead in climbing the city wall, but was killed by an arrow unfortunately.

After Li Yuan entered the city, he honored Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty as the Supreme Emperor, appointed the acting king Yang You as Emperor Gong of the Sui Dynasty, and changed his year name to the first year of Yining.Then Li Yuan asked Yang You to issue an edict, taking Wude Hall as the prime minister's residence, and Li Yuan was appointed as the fake Huangyue, envoy Jijie, the governor of the military, Shang Shuling, and the prime minister, and he was named king of Tang.All military and state affairs, regardless of size, civil and military officials, regardless of high or low positions, charter rewards and punishments, all belong to the prime minister's office.Yang You was heard only when the world was worshiped in the suburbs.

Li Yuan made Li Jian the son of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin the Duke of Qin, Jing Zhaoyin, Li Yuanji the Duke of Qi, Pei Ji the chief historian, and Liu Wenjing the Sima.While sealing up officials on a large scale, he eliminated those useless manpower who stubbornly resisted him. Soon after entering the city, he ordered Yin Shishi and Gu Yi to be beheaded in the middle of the street.Although Wei Wensheng, who had dug up his ancestral grave and destroyed the ancestral temple of the Li family, died of illness, Li Yuan refused to let him go. He ordered him to be pulled out of the grave, exposed for three days, and whipped three hundred times to vent his anger.

One day, when Li Yuan was dealing with government affairs in Wude Hall, he suddenly remembered Li Jing, and asked Pei Ji, "Jian Pei, I remember that Li Jing didn't seem to have escaped from Chang'an, where is he now?" Pei Ji replied: "Prime Minister, Li Jing is very bold. Knowing that we have entered Chang'an, he dared to swing around on the street. I immediately arrested him and put him in prison." Fang Xuanling tried to find Li Jing, but it was a step too late, and Pei Ji had already been put in prison. Li Yuan said angrily: "Jian Pei, you did a good job. This Li Jing, who doesn't know what is good or bad, wants to ruin my big business. Someone, take my warrant and bring Li Jing here."

Li Shimin couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, and he planned in his heart that today he must protect Li Jing no matter what.Yu Zhining and Yan Shigu also had the same thoughts.They have just been appointed by Li Yuan as the office of the Prime Minister's Office.The two looked at Li Shimin inquiringly, and Li Shimin nodded to them, knowing each other clearly. Li Jing was quickly brought to the hall. He was six feet tall, with strange bones and a fair complexion. Although he was wearing shackles and ragged clothes after being in prison for many days, his eyes were still piercing.After Li Jing entered the palace, the guard who escorted him ordered him to kowtow to Li Yuan.Li Jing kicked the wooden shackle to the ground, knelt down, and said, "Mr. Tang, the sinner, Li Jing, is being polite."

Li Yuan looked stern, snorted, and said in a deep voice: "What a Li Jing, this king came to Taiyuan to take office, you don't want to help, but you abandon the county and run away, and you want to sue this king." Li Jing straightened his neck and said softly: "Duke Tang, when we were ministers in the palace, we were all loyal to the Sui Dynasty. The so-called loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is the duty of a minister. I feel that your plot is not small. You are also a minister if you report to the court. Duties. Today Tang Gong has entered Chang'an, which shows that my understanding at that time was not bad."

Pei Ji said beside him: "Li Jing, you still dare to speak hard now. When Liu Wu and Zhou invaded, you didn't want to fight with the whole army, but abandoned the county and fled. Even if you followed the Sui law, you should be executed!" Li Yuan yelled: "Take Li Jing out and ask him to be executed at noon." There was no panic on Li Jing's face, and he still said in a normal tone: "Tang Gongxing's volunteer army wants to quell the riots, and the world will be peaceful. Li Jing is in charge of the government and the army, and he has a poor reputation. When we are employing people, if we kill Li Jing, we will be killed. It's a pity, if it is said that Mr. Tang killed a strong man because of personal grievances, it may hinder the great cause, right?"

Li Shimin hurried out of the shift, held his wat and said: "Father, please calm down. Although Li Jing was slandered at the beginning, I think he is devoted to the Lord and loyal. He is a man who can be used. Erlang is willing to be a guarantor. The father temporarily spared his life and allowed him to take the crime and make meritorious deeds." Yu Zhining and Yan Shigu also came out to plead with Li Yuan, willing to be a guarantor with Li Shimin. Li Yuan was just showing off his anger towards Li Jing for a while, seeing Li Shimin and the others as guarantors, he also calmed down, feeling a little alive inside.After all, Li Jing's denunciation of himself was not a personal enmity, so it would be worthwhile for such a knowledgeable and loyal person to take it for his own use.He looked at Pei Ji: "Jian Pei, Erlang and the others pleaded for Li Jing, what do you think?"

Pei Ji observed Li Yuan's expression, knew that his heart was already active, and understood Li Shimin's weight, so he saw the wind and said: "Prime Minister, let him be spared first, but someone needs to restrain him for a while and observe carefully." Li Yuan said: "Li Jing, because everyone is pleading for you, I will forgive you first. You go, and serve as the shogunate with Erlang first. You have to remember that the head on your neck is temporary. Send it there, whether it is safe or not is up to you.” Li Shimin was overjoyed, and hurriedly went out to call Changsun Wuji, and asked him to lead Li Jing back to the mansion first.

Just after dealing with Li Jing's matter, Li Jiancheng and Liu Wenjing led their elders, Sun Shunde and Liu Hongji, into the palace, followed by Qu Tutong.It turned out that Qu Tutong was trapped in the isolated city, and the Li family army outside the city continued to increase. He fought hard and refused to surrender.When he was lonely and helpless, he led the defenders to break through, but was surrounded by a forest.Liu Wenjing went into the forest alone, and told Qu Tu about his interests and righteousness.Qu Tutong weighed left and right, knelt down on the ground, looked in the direction of Jiangdu, and sighed: "My lord, if you are not a minister, you will not fight. Nai's power is weak, so I surrendered." Li Yuan heard Qu Tutong's act of loyalty, With great encouragement, he was immediately named Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Marshal of Qin Gong.

Seeing that Chang'an was stable, Li Yuan sent people to Taiyuan to meet his family.At the same time, he ordered that Li Yuanji be the general of Zhenbei, the marshal of the Taiyuan Road Marching Army, and the military governor of the fifteen counties.He ordered Yu Wenxin, the general of the right guard, and Zhang Da, the general of chariot and cavalry, to assist Li Yuanji.Li Yuan also loved Li Wanniang very much, and named her Princess Pingyang, and let her and Chai Shao separate the shogunate, and his soldiers were called "Women's Army". Li Shimin was lonely and unbearable, ever since he met Li Wanniang's three maids, he couldn't forget it.He observed carefully and felt that Qianzi was the most outstanding among them.Qianzi practiced martial arts with Li Wanniang very early on, and her bones are well-proportioned, heroic, heroic without losing her daughter's true colors.Her eyebrows are like green willows, her face is like red apricot, she has silver teeth, and there are endless charms in her phoenix eyes, which makes Li Shimin fall in love with her more and more.When he arrived in Chang'an, Li Shimin often stayed at Chai Shao's mansion.The Chai Mansion occupies a large courtyard in Taipingfang, the southern head of Hanguang Gate.After Li Wanniang moved in, she ordered people to expand the backyard, instead of planting flowers and plants, it was turned into a small martial arts training ground.The three hundred female soldiers lived in the backyard. During drills, they were solemn and solemn. When they were free, the courtyard was filled with singing and singing.As soon as Li Shimin came, he would definitely go to the martial arts arena, watch the female soldiers practice, and talk to Qianzi casually. After going back and forth, Li Wanniang saw the clue, but she pretended not to know, and waited quietly for Li Shimin to speak to her.That afternoon, Li Shimin couldn't hold back any longer. Seeing Chai Shao leaving, he hurriedly approached Li Wanniang and said, "Sister, I want to ask you one thing—" Li Wanniang interrupted him: "Don't talk to me, I know what you want to say. Tell you: no!" Li Shimin understood Li Wanniang's temper, and still salivated and said, "I haven't said it yet, can you predict it?" Li Wanniang said: "What shit do you want to shit under the tail of a fox, do you need to talk about it? Erlang, you and Jiamin are childhood sweethearts. She looks good and has a virtuous temperament. Why do you look at the pot while eating the bowl?" Li Shimin raised his hand and swore: "Sister, I know that Jiamin treats me well, and I swear that I will treat her wholeheartedly for the rest of my life. But I am looking for a concubine, and Jiamin also agrees. Now which man does not have three wives and six concubines. Who is like you? The roar of the Hedong lion made Chai Sichang only have you as his wife." Li Wanniang raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "Well, you Erlang, you have a good reason, and you provoked Sichang. Hey, Sichang," while talking, Chai Shao just walked in the door, "Erlang is showing off his shit here Gao Lun, let me help you marry a concubine. Tell me, who do you have your eye on?" The second monk Chai Shaozhang couldn't figure it out, and said in a daze, "What, what are you talking about?" Li Shimin smiled: "Look at the good show you two are doing, Brother Sichang, I don't believe you are so disciplined, you won't be tempted when you see a beautiful woman, unless you are a piece of wood." Chai Shao said sternly: "If you want to talk about ideas, I definitely have them. But if you marry someone else, you will be too sorry for my wife. Erlang, everyone has his own ambitions, so don't force others." Hearing Chai Shao's true feelings, Li Wanniang was secretly delighted, and she burst out laughing: "Sichang, you don't need to confess, I never stopped you." Chai Shao spread his hands and said anxiously: "This—this—" Li Shimin found it very interesting when the topic turned to Chai Shao, but his own affairs were put aside, so he couldn't help being anxious. Li Wanniang warned Li Shimin earnestly: "Erlang, can you change your lasciviousness? As the saying goes, 'there is a knife on the head of the color', be careful to hurt yourself. Among the brothers, Dalang is honest and courageous. Insufficient; Saburo died early; Shiro was rough and martial, but flirtatious, wild hunting, embarrassing responsibility. Only you are talented, capable of both civil and military skills, and you are a good helper for your father. You should do your own thing. I don’t agree with Qianzi’s matter, you Give up." Li Shimin left in dismay. Chai Shao sent him out of the gate, turned his head and said to Li Wanniang: "Lady, it's too much for you to reject Erlang today. From my observation, he still cares about Qianzi. Erlang is now Marshal of Qin Gong, even if he can't get Qianzi , and finding another woman is also a breeze." Li Wanniang said: "You want me to be Ma Boliu? Don't you be tempted too? You men and women can't do it alone, and the second and third ones. If you let women look for it like this, will you men do it? " Chai Shao shook his hand and said: "Look at you, you will take your anger on me. Ma'am, I, Chai Sichang, assure you that I will only stay with you for the rest of my life and never think about it, okay? In fact , I think that if Qian Zi follows Erlang, it may not be a good home, she can't follow you as a maid all her life, she will marry after all." Li Wanniang said: "It's okay according to your opinion? In this case, let's call Qianzi and ask her what she thinks. Someone, call Qianzi." Qianzi ran over with a red face and stood in front of Li Wanniang.Li Wanniang looked at her intently, and pointed to the chair: "Qianzi, sit down first, I have something to ask you." Qianzi didn't dare to sit down, Li Wanniang used to be very strict in the army, and the female soldiers were trembling when they saw her. Li Wanniang said: "Qianzi, my brother Erlang has taken a fancy to you and wants to take you from me. What do you think?" Qian Zi was speechless for a while, Li Shimin's suave figure and noble reputation are what girls like them admire, if you are like this, what more can a husband ask for?However, this is something they dare not expect extravagantly on weekdays. Seeing that Qianzi was silent, Li Wanniang immediately said: "I have rejected him for you, I want to choose a marriage for you in the future, monogamy, just like me." After hearing this, Qianzi was dull at first, and then replied loudly: "I am willing to obey the princess' orders, it is best to be monogamous." Li Wanniang laughed loudly: "This is the best, this is my good Qianzi. Men can't take all the cheap things in the world." Two days later, Chai Shao told Li Wanniang that Li Shimin had hit a snag with Qianzi, and also fell in love with the third princess of Emperor Sui Yang, and has now been welcomed into the palace.The three princesses were only sixteen years old, and with a delicate appearance, they willingly became Li Shimin's concubine.After hearing this, Li Wanniang scolded her as a "playboy" and threw it away. Li Yuan now owns more than 20 counties including Jingzhao County, Fengyi County, and Hedong County.In the north, although the Eastern Turks and Liu Wuzhou were watching over there, but with a peace treaty with Shibi Khan and Li Yuanji stationing troops in Taiyuan, there was no danger for a while.To the west, Xue Ju, Xue Rengao and his sons occupied Jincheng. They conquered the city and encroached on Li Gui's territory.Recently, the eagle watched the wolf, and the center of gravity of the troops gradually shifted eastward, and its small army had already fought against Li Yuan's team several times.In the east, Li Mi killed Zhai Rang and marched into Luoyang, the eastern capital. Emperor Sui Yang ordered Wang Shichong to lead 50,000 troops to occupy Luokou to fight against him. The two armies were in a stalemate, and Li Yuan was happy to stand by.To the south, Xiao Xian massively expanded his troops according to Yueyang, captured Jiankang City along the Yangtze River, and the forwards approached Jiangdu. In March of the second year of Yining, Yu Wenhua, the general of Sui Youtunwei, killed Emperor Yang of Sui in Jiangdu Palace, and made his youngest son Yang Hao emperor, calling himself the prime minister.The news spread to Luoyang that Wang Shichong abolished Yue Wang Yang Yu, established the country as Zheng, and claimed to be the emperor.He seized the opportunity of Li Mi's killing of Zhai Rang to make the soldiers renounced, adopted a strategy of alienation, disintegrated Li Mi's internal affairs, and recruited his subordinates Luo Shixin, Pei Renji, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin, Shan Xiongxin and others into his camp.Li Mi gradually became weaker and weaker.In a decisive battle in May, Li Mi was defeated. He led Wang Bodang and more than ten riders and fled to the wasteland, panicking like a bereaved dog.Reluctantly remembering that Li Yuan was considered friendly, he beat Ma Chang'an and defected to Li Yuan. It was the first anniversary of Taiyuan's uprising, and Li Yuan saw that Emperor Yang of Sui was dead, and the princes from all walks of life proclaimed themselves emperors. If he condescended to be under Emperor Gong of Sui, it was no longer necessary.He decided to get rid of this pretense, but he didn't want to force it, lest future historians write irresponsible remarks on himself when writing this history.Li Yuan asked Wen Daya to draft the abdication edict, which was then promulgated by Emperor Gong of the Sui Dynasty.The imperial edict praised Li Yuan's merits and virtues to the utmost, and finally said: "To follow the story today is inferior to the old mansion. The common officials were established and the Tang Dynasty was changed. It is better to follow the previous code and become a respected title. If there is no burden." , Yang You sent people to Li Yuan with the emperor's seal, Li Yuan repeatedly declined, and then Pei Ji led all the officials to persuade him to come in, but he repeatedly refused.After he had acted enough, Fang accepted it shyly. On May 20th, Li Yuan, the emperor, was located in the Taiji Hall, changed the name of the country to Tang, and changed the second year of Sui Yining to the first year of Tang Wude.Amnesty to the world, who is an official, bestowed a rank of nobility.From Taiyuan to Chang'an, the righteous teacher will be given three years to pass through.The county was dismissed as the state, and the prefect was changed to the governor.Take Li Jian as the Crown Prince, Li Shimin as the King of Qin and Shangshuling, Li Yuanji as the King of Qi, Liu Wenjing as Nayan, and Xiao Yu, the former Shangshu of the Ministries of the Sui Dynasty, as the Internal History Order.The rest of the official positions remain the same. Taiyuan County was renamed Bingzhou, which was ruled by Qi Wang Li Yuanji.He now holds the power of government affairs and military affairs in several states. He really is "the sky is high and the birds are flying, and the sea is wide and the fish are leaping."His youthful disposition gradually developed arrogance, and he ignored Liu Wuzhou, who was staring at him from the sidelines, and spent his days hunting dogs and fields, ignoring government affairs.At the beginning, there were several people in the group of his subordinates who persuaded him, which caused him to kill two people on a whim, and frightened the others into silence.These situations had already been reported to Liu Wuzhou by secret agents, and Liu Wuzhou was overjoyed after hearing this, feeling that the opportunity had come.These years, on the one hand, he was under the control of Shibi Khan, on the other hand, he saw that Li Yuan organized the army well, and his troops were strong and strong, which should not be underestimated, so he dared not act rashly for a while.Now Li Yuan is far beyond the reach of Chang'an, and Li Yuanji, a boy with a hairy head, destroyed the Great Wall here again. Isn't it God helping me? When Li Yuanji heard the news of Liu Wuzhou's invasion, he showed no fear. He led the army out of the city, and first sent chariot general Zhang Da to lead more than a hundred infantry to fight Liu Wuzhou.Zhang Da believed that leading a hundred men to contact Liu Wuzhou's army was no doubt driving tigers away with sheep, and asked for more troops, but Li Yuanji insisted not to allow it, and forced Zhang Da to advance quickly with his long spear.Zhang Da had no choice but to go, and soon became Liu Wuzhou's prisoner.Thinking that Li Yuanji was so ruthless to him and commanded blindly, Zhang Da became Liu Wuzhou's leader in a rage, and Liu Wuzhou quickly captured Yuci.Upon hearing the news, Li Yuanji led his troops back to the city, and asked Sima Liu Dewei to lead the old and weak soldiers to defend the city, while he himself pretended to lead the strong soldiers to fight, and fled to Chang'an with his wives and concubines under the cover of night.Liu Wuzhou took Bingzhou with little effort. Li Yuanji fled back to Chang'an. Li Yuan was serving as a council member in Wude Hall. When he learned that Bingzhou had been lost, Long Yan was furious.At that time, Yu Wenxin, the general of the right guard, gathered up the soldiers and horses that Li Yuanji had discarded, retreated a hundred li, and established his position.Li Yuan felt that Li Yuanji was young, so he turned his anger on Yu Wenxin, thinking that he had not helped Li Yuanji well, and planned to recall him to behead him. Li Shimin couldn't help feeling angry when he saw Li Yuanji acting as if nothing had happened.Li Yuanji has always been friendly with Li Jiancheng, and he doesn't like to study on weekdays. With his brute strength, he shows off his martial arts in front of others.He is good at field hunting, and has said many times, "I would rather not eat for three days than hunt for one day."At first, Li Shimin tried to persuade him earnestly, but Li Yuanji rolled his eyes and said, "I will be like this, what can you do!" Yuan Ji talked back several times, and Li Shimin didn't bother to talk to him.Over time, the two gradually became estranged, and they had nothing to say when they met. At this moment Li Shimin saw Li Yuan turning his anger on others, and was afraid that such a treatment would hurt the hearts of the officials. He couldn't bear it anymore, and went out to play: "Father, my son thinks that Yu Wenxin is not only innocent, but has merit. Bingzhou The calamity was caused by his younger brother Yuanji. He was charged with the important task of merging the state, but he did not do military affairs and acted arrogantly. After doing my best as a courtier, after defeating the army, I was able to gather the army and stabilize my position. Erchen suggested that Yu Wenxin be promoted to a higher rank by seizing the position of minister and younger brother as governor of the state. In order to save face, Erchen is willing to send 10,000 elite soldiers to go there Bingzhou, appease the remnants, and drive Liu Wuzhou out of the country." Now that Li Jiancheng is the prince, he doesn't take Li Yuanji's actions in Taiyuan seriously.After all, Taiyuan, as the base of the Li Family's Longxing, is also the gateway to the north, so it is really embarrassing to lose it so easily, endangering the safety of Chang'an.But now, after listening to Li Shimin's words, I feel a little harsh, and think that he lacks some honesty as a brother.With this in mind, he saw Li Yuanji beside him open his eyes wide open, making a gesture to argue with Li Shimin, so he stretched out his hand to pull his robe belt, and said in a deep voice, "Don't say anything!" Seeing Pei Ji over there, he was looking over , Li Jiancheng raised his chin slightly, signaling him to speak out of class. Pei Ji understood, so he went out to play and said: "Your Majesty, what the King of Qin played makes sense. I think Yu Wenxin should be promoted to a higher level. As for King Qin's criticism of King Qi's words, it is a bit too much. Now the world is in chaos, and the gains and losses of every city and pool are very big. Frequently, don't be too serious, we can take Bingzhou back again. Your Majesty, the old minister has lived in Bingzhou for many years, and he is familiar with the terrain and the local people. I am willing to send troops to conquer and capture Liu Wuzhou alive!" Liu Wenjing heard that Pei Ji was going to lead troops to march north, and thought to herself how capable is this old man of leading troops?One Li Yuanji had already lost the northern gate, and he went to Pei Ji to make a mess of it. He didn't know how to deal with the situation in the future. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but went out to play and said: "Your Majesty, the King of Qin is good at fighting and conquering the state. The foundation of our dynasty is fundamental, and I think it is safe to appoint the king of Qin as the commander." At the beginning, Li Shimin led the right army to surround Chang'an around the west, and Li Jiancheng and Liu Wenjing led the left army to cross Tongguan to attack Chang'an. It turned out that Li Jiancheng's left army commander Sun Hua was the first to climb the city wall of Chang'an.From this point of view, Li Jiancheng's ability to lead troops is not bad.Li Jiancheng saw them asking for a battle there, and also said: "Father, my son is willing to raise troops to march north." Li Yuan thought about it, and felt that it was quite appropriate for Pei Ji to conquer Liu Wuzhou, so he said, "In this case, I will work harder for Supervisor Pei. Supervisor Pei, I will appoint you as the general manager of the Jinzhou Road, and the east states will do things cheaply for you. You choose One day, select 50,000 soldiers and horses and set off. When your squadron comes back, I will come to Tongguan alone to welcome you. Erlang, Yu Wenxin's matter is at your discretion, and you ask the official department to promote him to the first rank." Yang You abdicated and moved out of Miyagi, and Li Yuan and his family lived in Taiji Palace.Li Jiancheng lived in the East Palace, and the West Palace was lived by Li Shimin and several other princes.Li Shimin took a fancy to the Chengqian Hall in the southwest corner, which occupies about a quarter of the entire West Palace. There is a long corridor from the Chengqian Hall, with pavilions, waterside pavilions, and flower beds on both sides, and then there is a large conference hall.The reason why Li Shimin took a fancy to this place was because of this hall.Tai Chi Miyagi is heavily guarded, and it is inconvenient for personnel to come and go.But when you leave the hall here, you will find the West Palace Gate, about 800 feet to the west, you will find the Anfu Gate on the palace wall, and outside the gate are the two workshops of the Promulgating Government and Fuxing.After entering the city, Li Shimin arranged for his servants and generals to live in these two workshops.If you live in Chengqian Palace by yourself, it will be convenient for you to visit both.For this reason, Li Shimin asked Mrs. Wan, who had been named a noble concubine, to agree. Mrs. Wan smiled and said: "Besides the East Palace, you are the most important, and I agree." But Li Yuanji, who lived in Chengqing Palace, was unwilling.He was so angry at the court, and when he came home, he saw that the house was not ready, and he heard that Li Shimin had lived in the Chengqian Palace, and he couldn't help being furious.Counting the time when Li Shimin returned home from the imperial court, he clenched his fists and rushed to Chengqian Palace to find fault. After Li Shimin moved into Chengqian Hall, he renamed the meeting hall "Renwen Hall".Every day after the court was over, it had become a rule that the staff members of the Qin Palace gathered in the Renwen Hall to discuss matters or papers.Although Yu Zhining and Yan Shigu had already left Qin Palace, under the management of Fang Xuanling, a large number of civil and military talents gathered in Qin Palace at once. Xue Shou, literature Yao Siliang, Xu Jingzong, Xue Yuanjing, Gai Wenda. Military officers: Li Jing from the shogunate, Hou Junji, Marquis of Zuo Yu, Zhang Liang, General of Chariots, Qu Tutong, Chief Shi, Liu Hongji, General of Right Xiaowei, Sun Wuji, Chief of Bibu Langzhong, Sun Shunde, Chief of Zuo Xiaowei, General Hussars Duan Zhixuan. Among them, Qu Tutong, Liu Hongji, Changsun Shunde, and Duan Zhixuan were not subordinates of the Qin Palace, but because they had a deep relationship with Li Shimin, they were mixed together. They are talking about sending Pei Ji to recover Bingzhou.Liu Hongji thought that Pei Ji had never led a soldier, so he was not a suitable candidate.While talking, Li Yuanji broke in, looked around, and sneered at Liu Hongji: "You said Pei Ji can't do it, but you guys are capable?" Seeing that Li Yuanji was very angry, everyone stopped talking, and the hall was silent for a while.Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, Li Yuanji angrily walked up to Li Shimin, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Li Shimin, what are you, why do you live in Chengqian Hall? Why do I live in the dark back hall?" Li Shimin looked expressionless, and said: "Silang, you are in a bad mood today, and I don't have the same knowledge as you. The place where our brothers live is allocated by Concubine Wan Gui. Besides, seniors and young are orderly, why can't I live here?" Li Yuanji was furious: "Chengqian, Chengqian, I want to inherit Qiangang, there is the East Palace, your name is full of evil, I live in Chengqing Palace, and you want me to celebrate for you." Li Shimin said: "Silang, don't make trouble anymore. The name of the palace was passed down from the former Sui Dynasty, and the emperor also agrees. Is it worth picking bones? Go back and rest, or you can complain to Concubine Wan Gui .” In front of everyone, Li Yuanji's fuss was contrasted with Li Shimin's calmness, which made Li Yuanji himself feel that it was meaningless.He knew that if only the two of them were in battle, no matter whether it was swords, guns, swords, fists, feet, or literary talents, he would not be able to get any benefits.Thinking of this, he shook his arm and said, "I'll talk to Concubine Wan Gui about this. Yes, seniors and young are in order, but you can't just let it go. Hehe, you have a lot of civil servants and military generals here, and you can be open-minded if you dare." It's a court meeting." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left. Li Shimin could hear the sting in his words, but there was no expression on his face.For a while, no one spoke in the hall, and it seemed very silent. It was Liu Hongji who broke the calm first. He said: "King Qin, Zhang Wansui sent a batch of war horses today, and also specially presented a fine horse for you. I have asked them to bring the horses to your stable. Now we Why don't you go and see something new together. Here, there is also a letter from Zhang Wansui." When Li Shimin heard about the horse, a smile appeared on his face. He took the letter and said, "Okay, let's take a look together. Since the horse was given by Zhang Wansui, it can't be wrong. Look, Zhang Wansui also stole the horse from him." Write down your experience here." Everyone got up and walked out.Li Shimin's stable is located in the northeast corner of Fuxingfang, and he can walk there in less than half an hour. At that time, Li Shimin's "Silver Dian Ji" had already been rewarded to Liu Hongji. It followed Liu Hongji in the conquest of Hedong. When crossing the earth wall, it was overworked, lost its strength, broke its abdomen and died.Now the one following Li Shimin is the "Yuji Monkey". Walking into the stable, I saw a black-haired steed competing with "Yuji Liu" for food.From a distance, this horse is about half a foot taller than "Yuji Liu". From a close look, the horse's body is black and smooth, without a single stray hair.Seeing the people approaching, it raised its neck and let out a long hiss, jumped up its front hooves, and plunged its head straight into the roof.Everyone's eyes lit up, although it was only this leap, they all felt that this horse was like Ujin lightning. Li Shimin watched it carefully, and then stepped back to appreciate it carefully, with satisfaction written on his face.Amid the compliments from everyone, Li Shimin smiled and said: "It's a pity that Zhang Wansui is not here. You are all experts in fighting wars or writing. If you want to talk about horses, you can only watch the excitement. Zhang Wansui said , this horse was stolen from the stable of a Shaohan who sneaked into a principality in the far north. This Shaohan is equivalent to our prince. This Zhang Wansui is so bold that he dared to cross Liu Wuzhou and Shibike Khan’s defense line went to steal the horse. If he stole the horse and gave it to me, wouldn’t I be a thief?” Li Jing said: "It's a good horse, King Qin, when will Zhang Wansui give me one too." Li Shimin said: "How about this, I will give you the 'Yuji Monkey'. According to Zhang Wansui, it is a descendant of Xiji horse. And this horse is a descendant of Tianma. They are not the same as each other." Seeing Li Shimin's interest improved, Fang Xuanling hurriedly said, "King Qin, please give it a name." Li Shimin said: "Okay. I think this horse will be like a long sword leaning on the sky, majestic and majestic. Since it was originally a Shaohan thing, Xue Shou, the Turkic word for "Shaohan" in Chinese, how about it?" read?" Xue Shou replied, "White Hoof." Li Shimin said: "This horse is black all over, let's call it 'White Hoofed Crow'." After Li Shimin returned home, eldest grandson Jiamin, Jing'er, and Yang Shi had already sat in front of several tables, where dinner was set, and they were waiting for Li Shimin's return. After eating, Li Shimin entered the bedroom with his eldest son Jiamin.Maybe the joy brought by watching the horse just now has not dissipated, Li Shimin was so happy that he couldn't help moving his hands on her body.The eldest grandson Jiamin let him touch her, lying in his arms and feeling quietly.After a while, she raised her face and said, "Erlang, do you want to hear the good news?" Li Shimin said: "What good news? Since it is good news, of course I have to listen to it." Eldest Sun Jiamin hesitated to speak, his face gradually turned red, and finally said softly: "I tell you, someone will call you king soon." Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly understood. He put his hand into her underwear, touched her abdomen, and said pleasantly, "Really? Let me listen." For a moment, the house was very quiet. After Li Shimin had finished listening, the eldest grandson Jiamin said again: "Do you know? It's not one, it's two children calling you father and king." Li Shimin didn't believe it: "You don't have the foresight to say that you are pregnant with two?" Elder Sun Jiamin said: "Nonsense, where do I have such abilities? I mean, Jing'er is also pregnant." Li Shimin patted her hand and said, "You are worthy of being masters and servants. You are in step in everything you do." He walked slowly to the window, with a serious face, and said, "We live in Chengqian Hall now. If you Both of them are pregnant with boys, and they will be named in the future, the one in your stomach is called Cheng Qian'er, the one in Jing'er is called Kuan'er, Cheng Qian Heng Kuan. Of course, it is best to be named by the emperor." Eldest Sun Jiamin said: "You just like to worry. Hey, I won't keep you tonight, and I won't go to Jing'er's place. We can't tolerate any further troubles. A few days ago, the sister of the Yang family heard the news, and she was so envious. You go, she is waiting for you."
