Xijing, Tai Chi Palace.

The morning court on the first day of November.

This day was the day of the reign of the court set by Li Yuan.

All officials under the third rank and above and above in the capital must participate.

The sky was dark and dark, and thousands of palaces merged into the night. Hundreds of officials, wearing official robes and holding tablets, entered the Tai Chi Palace from the corridor under the dripping eaves.

Li Yuan was wearing a dragon robe on the hall. After receiving worship from all officials, he sat on the dragon throne, while the ministers stood aside.

The head of the palace official stepped forward and shouted, "If you have something to do, go out to work early, and if you have nothing to do, roll the curtain and retreat!"

I saw Liu Wenjing coming up to the foreword and saying, "I have a memorial, and the Censor heard that Your Majesty often eats and sits with the ministers. This is contrary to common sense. Please be careful."

After Liu Wenjing said that, the officials couldn't help but look up slightly and look at Pei Ji, the right servant of the Shangshu Province who was standing in the front.

Pei Ji was valued by Li Yuan and was often left in the palace. Liu Wenjing's words certainly meant Pei Ji.

All the ministers knew that after the Jinyang army rose, Li Shimin, Liu Wenjing and Pei Ji were all meritorious officials of Yuan Dynasty. No matter what crime they committed, they could forgive their deaths.

But since Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, the conflict between Liu Wenjing and Pei Ji has certainly become increasingly fierce, and the dispute between the two has become superficial.

Li Yuan smiled and said dismissively: "Liu Aiqing, I'm too busy with it."

Liu Wenjing said, "I don't think so. The emperor is in the face of billions of dollars. All the people are the ministers. If the noble and humble person lose their position, what is the way of yin and yang, the king and the ministers? Just like the sun and all things, how can the whole world shine with them?"

Li Yuan was stunned and said with a smile: "The sun is down with all things, so why can all living beings shine? This is what Wang Dao said. Will Liu Aiqing teach me the things of the ancients? But when the Han Guangwu and Yan Ziling were sleeping together, Yan Ziling was added to the emperor's abdomen. The emperor could not bear to denounce him. Pei Aiqing and Liu Aiqing were both my old ministers in Jinyang. I never dared to forget him. Liu Aiqing, don't take this as a disgust."

When Liu Wenjing heard that Li Yuan had made up his mind to protect Pei Ji, she became even more angry at Pei Ji, but she could not refute Li Yuan's words and had to retreat.

At this time, Pei Ji said, "I have also submitted a memorial! The new dynasty has been established, and it is precisely to plan for a new departure, just like the farmer looking at the autumn. The old dynasty used Daxing County as the capital, and Chang'an County was the county governor of Jingzhao County. Now Your Majesty has transformed the old and new things. Changzhao County is changed to Yongzhou. I would like to change Daxing County to Wannian County again, and Chang'an County is still called Chang'an, so it is called Wannian Chang'an."

"Long-year Chang'an, Chang'an, thousands of years, good! Well said!" Li Yuan slapped the table and Long Yan was very happy.

Li Yuanfu said, "I want to eliminate the ills of the old dynasty, so I will start from the feet of the emperor, not just to change the new month. As you said, I will change Daxing County into Wannian County, and this Daxing City will also restore the old name Chang'an to Chang'an, which means long-term peace and stability. Chang'an County and Wannian County are bounded by the imperial city Zhuque Street. The 54 fangs in the west of the street belong to Chang'an County, and the 54 fangs in the east of the street belong to Wannian County."

After hearing Li Yuan say this, Pei Ji congratulated with all the ministers.

Li Yuan laughed and said, "This is a grand event. I would like to congratulate you with all my beloved friends."

Seeing Li Yuan's long face, Pei Ji smiled and looked at Liu Wenjing. He stepped down into the train. Liu Wenjing gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart. Flattery.

"I have my report!" Zhao Cijing, the Minister of War, stepped forward and saw a group of joy in the hall. He couldn't help but shake his head.

"read!"

"Yesterday, the Ministry of War reported that after Jinyang City fell in Youzhou last month, Li Chongjiu was not stopping, defeating Pingyao on the 15th, and defeating Jiexiu on the 19th. Zhang Lun, deputy general manager of Taiyuan Road marching, was defeated in all three battles, and now he has to withdraw from Baoxicheng."

"What Zhang Lun is defeated?" The ministers couldn't help but talk. After the rebellion in Jinyang, Zhang Lun defeated Li Shi, Longquan and Wencheng for Li Tang, and expanded territory. His contributions were second only to generals such as Li Zhiwan, Yin Kaishan, and Liu Hongji. Now, under Li Chongji, he has also lost consecutively.

After hearing this, the ministers did not expect that this was just the beginning, and then the ministers put them on the books one after another.

"The Censorate has a memorial, and King Li Yuanji of Qi submitted a letter to impeach, and Yin Kaishan, the chief marching officer of Taiyuan Road, fled without fighting, resulting in the loss of Jinyang!"

"The Secretariat received a letter from Yin Kaishan, the chief marching officer of Taiyuan Road, to defend himself, saying that the thief is powerful and can avoid the entire army for the time being! Yin Kaishan has another book, and he participated in the Qi King's Staff Li Siqi and others, who were greedy for merit and wanted to fight and encourage him."

"I have a report. In two months, Hengshan bandit Zhao Wanhai gathered tens of thousands of people to attack Jingxing with Li bandits. Princess Pingyang and his 30,000 soldiers were attacked from both sides. We have not heard from him for ten days."

"I have a memorial report. Last month, Lu Chongmao, Xia County, called himself the King of Wei and occupied Xia County to uprising!"

"Yesterday, Jiangzhou reported that Li Chongjiu's vanguard of the vanguard of the army was slashed with Fenzhou. His scout has advanced to Jiangzhou. The general manager of Jiangzhou, Xiangwu, King Li Chen, was in a hurry and said that the fifteen Hedong states will no longer be owned by me in a few days."

Several people finished the lecture together, and the hall was deserted.

Li Yuan made a face on the dragon throne and said, "Are you colluding? Let's sweep my interest today? Why don't you say it? Will Li Chongjiu cross the river tomorrow? He will hit the foot of the capital the next day, and you won't say it."

The important officials were silent. At this time, Zhao Cijing came forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Bingzhou, Shizhou and Xizhou are all lost. Lu Chongmao, Xia County, has established himself, and the king of Yao in Hedong is still there. The thief is in such a situation, so it is difficult to compete with him. I think it is better to abandon the river east and guard Guanxi."

At this time, another minister stepped forward and said, "I'm asking! Li Chongjiu has the help of foreign cavalry, and his troops are unstoppable. Now the situation in Hedong is so deteriorating. If we send troops to cross the river again, all of them will fall. Xue Ju, Hexi, and Li Gui, are our biggest concern."

After the two of them finished speaking, five or six ministers came out of their squad, holding the scepter and lowering their heads and saying, "I'm going to discuss it!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

Several ministers said a word, and suddenly there was silence in the hall.

Li Yuan didn't say anything. After hearing what these people said, he walked in front of the dragon throne with his hands on his back.

Crown Prince Li Jiancheng was like a puppet without saying a word. As for the other ministers, they did not dare to speak, and observed the expressions of others.

The Tang Dynasty had only been established for three months, and the land in Hedong was almost wiped out by Li Chongjiu. This time, even Guanzhong was shocked.

"My son thinks Hedong cannot be abandoned!"

Just then, a sound came out, making a loud noise. Many ministers breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was King Qin Li Shimin.

Li Shimin had just rushed back to Chang'an three days ago. Before the two battles in Sumiwara, the Tang army commanded by Li Shimin first defeated and then won, and it was extremely difficult to defeat Xue Ju and his son.

When Li Shimin was about to take advantage of the situation to raise troops to clean up the two of them in one fell swoop, the army heard the fall of Jinyang, the King of Qi and Yin fled. Li Yuan ordered him to quickly transfer troops to Chang'an, so Li Shimin could only give up the victory that he almost got and lead his army back.

Now that all the ministers were afraid of Li Chongjiu's military force, they were all about to give up Hedong, Li Shimin could no longer bear it.

Li Shimin immediately went out and shouted: "Father, the foundation of the Taiyuan kingdom, the foundation of the country, the wealth of Hedong and the capital. If you give it up and abandon it, I will be angry. My son is willing to use 30,000 elite troops to lead the army to cross the river, destroy Li Chongjiu, defeat Fen and Jin!"

After hearing what Li Shimin said, Li Yuan's eyes lit up and he said, "King Qin, are you sure?"

Li Shimin said: "Although Taiyuan was defeated and Jinyang was lost, the third sister, fourth brother, and Yin Kaishan's military strength were not greatly damaged. Li Chongjiu controlled his own military strength and advanced lightly, which was far from the food route. My son saw that it was like a powerful crossbow, and he could defeat him in one battle!"

After hearing what Li Shimin said, Li Yuan couldn't help but nod.

Liu Wenjing and others also listed the article and said, "I think the view of the King of Qin is feasible."

"I'm going to discuss it!"

"I also agree!"

At that moment, more than 30 ministers knelt in front of Li Yuan.

Li Yuan brushed his sleeves and said, "I have decided to attack Jinyang."

When the ministers heard this, they were immediately in an uproar. They thought that Li Yuan would not move lightly in Chang'an. Therefore, even if Taiyuan was in trouble, they were only sent Li Shimin to the expedition. Unexpectedly, Li Yuan decided to expedition in person.

The ministers wanted to say something again, Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "No need to say too much, Li Chongjiu's son should not be underestimated. Liu Wuzhou, Luo Yi, and Gao Kaidao are not his opponents. I was the only one who had a tiger back then, and I will definitely eliminate it with my own hands now."

"The King of Yong'an Li Xiaoji, Minister of Works Dugu Huaien, General Manager of Shaanxi Province Yu Yun, and Minister of the Inner History Tang Jian, the four of you were ordered to lead your army to attack Xia County and eliminate the troubles first."

"No!" The four ministers took the order together.

"The General of Tunwei Wang Xingmin obeys the order. You lead the army to help Luzhou governor Guo Ziwu defend Luzhou. Shangdang Hedong is like the inside and outside of Bingzhou. I will tell the King of Qi that Yin Kaishan and Jinyang's gains and losses. I will not be able to argue with him for the time being, but if he loses again, he will be punished with both crimes!"

"The last general will receive the order!" Wang Xingmin replied loudly.

"I will be in charge of Pu and Jiang and King Li Chen of Xiangwu as the general manager of Xizhou. I will be in charge of Taiyuan Road Army and Zhang Lun, the Duke of Xihe, and will not be in fault. My army will arrive within 20 days. If it is lost outside 20 days, I will save them from being guilty."

"Qin King Li Shimin!"

"My son is here!" Li Shimin shouted loudly.

Li Yuan said with his hands behind his back: "I have added you as the Taiwei, and the envoy will hold the throne. The Shangshu Ling of the Great Xingtai of Shaanxi, and the generals of the commanders of Pu, Shaanxi and Hebei will be subject to their throne. You can lead 30,000 elite troops across the river from Puban, and the governor of the three armies will counterattack Taiyuan County, and capture Li Chongjiu to me. Do you understand!"

Li Shimin showed an incredible look when he heard this, but Li Jiancheng's expression changed drastically when he heard this.

What is the position of Taiwei? Taiwei, Situ and Sikong are one of the three Dukes. Although they have a title of empty title, they are the ultimate civil servants.

What's more, Li Shimin is now the King of Qin, and he is the leader of a minister, regardless of his title or official position. Next, Li Yuan has no other generous rewards to give to Li Shimin.

Now Li Yuan gave half of the military power of the Tang Dynasty to Li Shimin.

Li Jiancheng himself was not as good as his younger brother except for the title of the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

"My son thanked his father and would devote himself to the Tang Dynasty until his death."

Li Shimin's words echoed above the hall. (To be continued...)
