Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

The bright moon of the Qin Dynasty was at the Pass of the Han Dynasty, and the people who marched thousands of miles have not yet returned. But the flying generals of Dragon City are here, and Huma is not taught to cross the Yin Mountains.

This is Wang Changling's song "Out of the Barrier". Since ancient times, people in the Central Plains have hoped to prevent barbarians from passing through.

The same is true for the meaning expressed in this poem.

But today there is a sea of ​​people outside the Chunming Gate in Chang'an City, because today the Dukes and Lords of the State of Lu returned in triumph and presented more than 2 prisoners and more than 1 horses.

After Hou Junji received Li Shimin's imperial edict for his troops to return to the court, the entire army set off. However, because he carried a large number of prisoners and captured weapons and equipment, the march was extremely slow.

They were supposed to be back in a month, but they were gone for two or two months.

Finally arrived today.

Hou Junji, dressed in military uniform and riding a tall horse, walked in the front.

Many officials greeted him at the city gate. The two leaders were Wei Wang Li Tai and Jin Wang Li Zhi.

Hou Junji glanced from a distance and found that Li Shimin was not there. He couldn't help frowning, with a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.

"I see His Highness the King of Wei and His Highness the King of Jin."

"Thank you for your hard work, Duke Lu." Wei King Li Tai said.

"Yes, Duke Lu really promoted the prestige of the Tang Dynasty this time." Jin Wang Li Zhi also praised.

"Thank you two princes for your compliments. I will give Xue Yantuo 6000 prisoners."

Without Li Shimin, Hou Junji would not want to talk nonsense with these two idiots.

It was originally [-], but now there are only [-] left, and some people died along the way.

"Okay, I accept the prisoner of Duke Lu on behalf of Aye. Duke Lu please go to Taiji Hall, where Aye is waiting for Duke Lu's triumphant return." Li Tai said alone, completely ignoring Li Zhi beside him, just like Li Shimin It was just like arranging for him to accept the prisoners alone.

The sharp look in Li Zhi's eyes flashed away and turned into gentleness again.

At this time, the officials behind the two people also came forward to congratulate Hou Junji on his triumphant return. The admiration is beyond words.

Hou Junji rode a horse and walked on the street leading to the palace, surrounded by people on both sides of the road welcoming him. This reminded him of those glorious days in the past.

Soon Hou Junji entered the palace and came to Daji Hall.

"Your Majesty, I am honored to honor my command and intercept Xue Yantuo's barbarians. I killed 1 enemies, captured 6000 people, and captured [-] horses.

It's a pity that there are still seven to eight thousand barbarians who escaped. Please forgive me. "

Hou Junji came up to plead guilty and did not say why this battle was not easy.

"What's the crime of loving you? I'm very satisfied with the result of the battle now. You are my favorite general, versatile in both civil and military affairs, and you are here to deliver the message." Li Shimin said to Hou Junji with a smile.

Wang De took out the imperial edict that he had prepared.

"My disciples: ..... The dukes and princes of the State of Lu have made great contributions in attacking and killing the barbarians of Xue Yantuo, and have merged civil and military affairs. ..... have been granted the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of War. A bounty of 50, a white jade sculpture, and a brocade Hundreds of pieces of silk......"

The content of the imperial edict is very concise. The main content is to confer the title of Lord Junji as Minister of the Ministry of War, and the rest are some rewards.

In fact, Hou Jun was reinstated to his post as the official. He used to be the Minister of the Ministry of War and was later temporarily replaced by Li Daozong.

Now that Li Daozong has gone to Goguryeo, Hou Junji has returned to his original position.

When Li Daozong came back, he entered the clan directly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"My dear, you have worked hard all the way. Today I am hosting a banquet for our monarchs and ministers to enjoy together."

The place where Li Shimin held the banquet was not in the palace, but in a wine club in heaven and on earth. Li Shimin's meaning was very simple. If you want to have fun, then have fun.

He sent someone to inform Prince Ji's Mansion, and he believed that Prince Ji's Mansion would arrange everything.

The one above moved his mouth, but the one below broke his legs. The decree came into Wang Xuance's hands, and Wang Xuance immediately informed Wang Hongfu.

It only took Wang Hongfu half an hour to get the matter done, and the entire heaven and earth were emptied. Don't ask why, the disaster of Chang'an depends on the situation.

When Li Shimin brought his ministers to the heaven and earth, preparations for the banquet had already begun.

Li Shimin was very happy with the efficiency of Prince Ji's palace. Just as he was happy, Wang Hongfu asked to see him.

"See Your Majesty, I'm here to trouble Your Majesty to sign this list so that I can have an explanation with the prince."

When Wang Hongfu said this, his forehead was already sweating and his legs were trembling.

"What do you mean?" Li Shimin didn't understand.

"Your Majesty, this is a rule set by the prince. All shareholders hold banquets here. There are no fees in heaven or earth.

Just sign a certificate on it, and then wait until the end of the year to deduct... deduct... deduct the dividends. "

Wang Hongfu's mouth trembled. This prince is too deceptive, and he cares about his own father's meals.

"What? I am the largest shareholder here, and I still need money for a meal?" Li Shimin said angrily.

Don't say that you are a shareholder, you are not a shareholder. You go to your son's place for a meal, and your son wants money. How embarrassing.

"Your Majesty, this is not what the villain said, these are the rules set by the prince. Even the villain dare not violate it." Wang Hongfu almost cried,

"Why?" Li Shimin asked.

"The prince said that there are too many shareholders. If they were all exempted, this world with more than 100 people would still be closed down.

So the prince made the rule that everyone must sign the contract. "

Seeing the trembling Wang Hongfu, Li Shimin was really angry. It was a pity that Li Shen was not around, otherwise he would have had to be whipped a few times.

Li Shimin did not embarrass Wang Hongfu, he was just a servant. If he embarrassed him, his value would be reduced.

Helpless, Li Shimin could only pick up a brush and write his name.

Wang Hongfu nodded and bowed back.

Soon the banquet began, and the monarch and his ministers exchanged cups and danced gracefully.

Li Shimin took the ministers to the tea house to taste it again, and Hou Junji was with Li Shimin the whole time.

"My dear, I know you have resentment in your heart and blame me for being unfair to you." Li Shimin said while drinking tea.

"I don't dare. I am loyal to Your Majesty. I will do whatever Your Majesty asks me to do without any complaints." Hou Junji stood up quickly and said.

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction.

Finally, we went to the bathing department. Hou Junji did not follow Li Shimin here. He kept soaking in hot water. This was Hou Junji's favorite project.

"Congratulations to the Duke of Lu on his reinstatement. It's really gratifying." At this time, Li Tai came to Hou Junji at some unknown time.

"Thank you, King Wei." Hou Junji thanked him.

Li Tai's purpose in coming is very clear to Hou Junji. Now that he has been promoted to Minister of War, Li Tai wants to win over him.

It's just that he fell in love with a prince just after being promoted, which is a bit unreasonable.

At this moment, Li Shimin was listening to Li An's report in a box.

"Have you found out everything about Baiqi?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Baiqi has already gone to the prisoner camp to check, and news has also come from the north, confirming the previous secret report." Li An said affirmatively.

"Send Baiqi to investigate immediately. I want to know where he is going. There is also the deputy general." Li Shimin's face was gloomy at this moment.

"Back to Your Majesty, Baiqi has already gone to investigate, but the Baiqi sent out has not returned yet. We have also sent people to monitor the deputy general. We have not contacted anyone yet."

After Li An finished speaking, Li Shimin waved his hand, and Li An quietly retreated. Then he sighed,

"What exactly do you want to do?"

(There is some confusion in this chapter because it was temporarily added to fill the hole created by Hou Junji. Sorry for your understanding)
