After Li Chongjiu killed Fu Gongyou, he led the Yi Guards, Wu Guards, and the main force of the court guards to head north to reinforce Luoyang...

Before Li Chongjiu left, in addition to leaving Song Jingang as a general, he led troops to guard Jianghuai, and then ordered Yu Shinan to go to Jiangdu and Jiangnan, Shandong Daoxingtai Zuopushe, and as a civil servant, Prime Minister Jiangnan and Shandong affairs.

As for the surrendered general of the Jianghuai Army, Kan Ling took Fu Gongyou's head and surrendered to various cities in Jianghuai. Most of the Jianghuai areas surrendered without fighting. Within a month, Li Chongjiu occupied the entire Jianghuai territory without any resistance.

After conquering the Jianghuai Army, Li Chongjiu not only rewarded the surrendered generals of the Jianghuai Army, Silla and Baekje also made an indelible contribution to the dispatch of troops this time.

Li Chongji was immediately appointed King Wu Guang of Baekje, and was the King of Baekje, and was the Three Sessions of Kaifu Yi-chi. The son of King Wu Guang of Fuyu Yi-chi was the Prince of Baekje. The title of King Zhenping of Silla was the King of Silla, and was the King of Silla, and was the Three Sessions of Kaifu Yi-chi. The daughter of King Zhenping of King Zhenping, was the Prince of Silla.

This time, Li Chongji is equal to Baekje, and he also regards him as a strategic allies like Silla.

As for the general who attacked Danyang Jiangdu this time, Jin Chunqiu of Silla, Li Chongjiu Nian had always had military achievements and was named Duke of Changli County and was appointed as General Hu Ben Lang.

Baekje General Yun Zhong and Li Chongjiu also named him the county marquis and were appointed as the general of Huya Lang.

Li Chongjiu also kept the two of them in Danyang, Jianghuai, and the Silla Baekje Navy and the subdued Dongyang Navy, a total of nearly 20,000 troops. Chen Heng was on the Yangtze River. On the one hand, he was going upstream and took Jingxiang directly, and on the other hand, he could also shock Lin Shihong and prevent him from acting rashly.

In May of Chang'an, the weather gradually began to heat up. Li Shimin got off the chariot and walked on the palace road of Wuji Palace. This chariot was given by Li Yuan after he defeated Wang Shichong. In addition, there were also ban swords and drums accompanying him, and the ceremonial guards were second only to Li Jiancheng in the palace.

Li Shimin walked into the palace gate with his arms around him. In front of him was the Wuji Hall. Li Shimin did not go directly to the Wuji Hall or the Imperial Study room, but walked through the corridor and walked into the side hall where officials of the Secretariat were waiting for discussion.

At this time, Li Shimin was the only one in the side hall. He said to the guards of the outer world: "You go out first."

The guards retreated cleanly.

Li Shimin picked up the memorials stacked on the side and picked up a few books to read. Soon the house opened and a little eunuch walked in with a pot of tea.

The little eunuch looked around and then took out a letter from his sleeve. He put it on the side of the plate and lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, Empress Xue gave it to you."

When Li Shimin saw this, he nodded, took out a few silver beans from his sleeve and said, "Take it!"

The little eunuch hurriedly said, "How dare you do things for the King of Qin and the Queen Mother."

Li Shimin raised his head and looked at him lightly. When the little eunuch saw Li Shimin's eyes, his body trembled. He immediately accepted Yindouzi and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, the King of Qin."

"That's it, step back!"

After saying that, the little eunuch was covered in sweat and immediately retreated and thought to himself. The King of Qin was so powerful.

After the eunuch left, Li Shimin opened the letter written by Concubine Xue to him, but saw the beautiful small characters on it. The general meaning was that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji led the Tang army on the northern road to suffer setbacks in the Heyang area, resulting in delaying the fighter jet, which made Li Yuan very angry.

When Li Yuan was reading memorials in the palace several times, he angrily accused these two sons of being incompetent and that he had the idea of ​​changing his commander at the last minute.

Concubine Xue Jie said in the letter that this is the best time for Li Shimin to regain military power.

But Xue Jieyu advised Li Shimin not to be too eager to stand out at this time. If Li Yuan was interested, he would definitely take the initiative to look for Li Shimin. If he didn't speak, he would still be suspicious of his son in his heart. Li Shimin took the initiative to ask for a commander at this time, which would make Li Yuan even more suspicious. It would be better to retreat to advance.

After reading Xue Jieyu's letter, Li Shimin nodded, thinking that this woman is so kind. It would be a pity if she had not taken her as her concubine for her great cause.

As soon as Li Shimin finished reading the letter, a knock on the door came from outside. Li Shimin asked: "What's the matter?"

The outside said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, please move to the imperial study."

Li Shimin put away the letter paper and said, "I understand."

So Li Shimin picked up a few memorials and opened the door immediately. Outside, there was Eunuch Zheng, who Li Yuan trusted the most, waiting there. Li Shimin smiled and said, "If you have a good time, Eunuch Zheng, come and invite him in person."

Eunuch Zheng hurriedly said, "The King of Qin is so serious, please!"

Li Shimin followed Eunuch Zheng straight into Li Yuan's imperial study room, but saw Li Yuan's hands were covered with no expression. The broken porcelain on the ground of the imperial study room, several officials from the Ministry of Revenue and War knelt in the room and did not dare to look up. It was obvious that the imperial study room had just passed a storm.

"Your Highness of the King of Qin is here!"

With the report outside the hall, Li Shimin stepped into the inner land and said, "I pay my respects to my father, long live my father."

Li Shimin knelt down and kowtowed, and stood up. However, when he saw the officials of the Ministry of War and Revenue, he raised his head and showed Li Shimin a look of seeking help.

"Get up!"

Li Yuan turned around and said to the officials: "Why don't you get out of here? Hou is here, don't you have to worry about your head?"

The officials then retreated in embarrassment. Li Shimin said, "Father, the people below are not careful in doing things, so there is no need to be angry about them and hurt their bodies."

Li Yuan sighed and said, "I, do you expect others? In the Tang Dynasty, how many people really do the court and the country's plans? You see, Guanzhong is only slightly drought this year, and more than 20 counties in Guanzhong, Longyou told me that the harvest of wheat in spring may be poor, so there may be no tax payment this fall, so the court will delay it and slow it down."

"Have none of these people thought about it for me? The imperial court used troops this year and spent money and food. They did not share my worries, but came to pull me back at this time."

As the Minister of State, Li Shimin knew that the harvest in Guanzhong and Longyou this year may not be good. Logically speaking, the year is not bad. Although it is not as good as the bumper year as last year, it is much better than the previous year.

However, this year, Li Tang attacked Zhao, with more than 200,000 troops. The war was delayed for only three months, and Li Tang's treasury was almost empty. I thought Li Yuan wanted to discuss with local officials in advance and pay the October taxes in advance until June, but I didn't expect that this was not yet released, so the officials below came to Li Yuan to complain in advance.

Li Shimin said immediately: "Father, now, I think I can follow the example of the Han Dynasty when I was selling titles and call on wealthy businessmen from the private sector to donate money. At the same time, isn't Zhao taking out a debt to borrow money from the private sector? I think this is a good way, so I might as well use the Guanzhong Oden as a guarantee and borrow money from the private sector."
