Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 264

When Li Zhiyun and others were speculating about how Li Yuan would reward Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others under Li Shimin's command were also discussing with each other.

"I think the position of the Three Lords is inevitable." Changsun Wuji held the rein and looked at the vast land.

"Taiwei?" Yu Zhining guessed.

When Duguzhen retired, he honored Situ, Dou Wei retired, and honored Sikong, and the rest were Taiwei.

Datang copied the former Sui Dynasty in terms of official system, which is naturally the same as that of the former Sui Dynasty, but only slightly modified.

"But this is an empty job." Yu Zhining frowned.

Fang Xuanling said: "It would be better if this is really the case."

"What do you mean?" Changsun Wuji was dissatisfied. They killed three rebels at once and collected all the Jianghuai land in the Central Plains. How could they be satisfied with only one vacant job.

He specially came from Chang'an to pick up King Qin back, just to have a good time and watch his brother-in-law reach the pinnacle of life.

Fang Xuanling looked at him, and asked back: "Then tell me, how do you reward Your Highness so that you can be worthy of this merit?"

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji was immediately speechless.

The king of Qin is already extremely honorable, and there is only the crown prince.

Yu Zhining came to his senses and said, "You mean, once His Highness gains power this time, he will be suppressed by the crown prince?"

"Isn't he suppressing less?" Changsun Wuji sneered.

Fang Xuanling sighed: "What I am worried about now is that the reward is too high, which may cause the prince to jump over the wall in a hurry."

The voice fell, and the three fell silent at the same time.

In the past, the crown prince had regarded King Qin as a thorn in his side. If the reward was really too much this time, the crown prince might really resort to dangerous tactics in his desperation.

Changsun Wuji said: "What are you afraid of? Soldiers will come to cover you with water and soil. The prince can't do anything in the past, and he won't be able to do anything in the future!"

Three days later, the Eastern Expeditionary Army returned to Chang'an.Lao Li led a hundred officials to greet King Qin's return in person at Mingde Gate, giving King Qin enough face.

Ministry of War Yamen.

Li Shimin led Li Zhiyun, Li Yuanji, Qu Tutong and others into the yamen room and sat down on their knees.

On the main seat, Minister of War Zhao Cijing knelt and waited.

"Back from the Eastern Expedition, I will return the soldier talisman." Li Shimin said loudly.

Zhao Cijing nodded and waved, and a circle of servants came in with wooden trays.Li Zhiyun and others successively returned the soldier talisman to the Ministry of War.

In name, the Ministry of War is responsible for the management of military power.In fact, each army is still in the hands of each individual.

This is a formality.

There is no way, it is wartime now, and Lao Li often divides various war zones, such as Shannan Road, Longxi Road, Hedong Road, etc., the power of the Ministry of War has already been diluted.Now the Ministry of War is more in charge of logistics than distribution of military power.

Besides, Zhao Cijing, a minister of the Ministry of war, can be more trusted by Lao Li than King Qin.

Having said that, Qu Tutong still had some lumps in his heart.He is the Minister of the Ministry of War, but he is not as powerful as the Minister of the Ministry of War, which is considered rare.But after thinking about it, at least he also has the Duke of the Kingdom, so it's not too bad.

After returning the soldier talisman, everyone exchanged greetings and went back to their homes.

In two days, Lao Li will reward the soldiers of the three armies in the palace, and they can go home to rest and recharge their spirits.

Chu palace.

When Li Zhiyun came back, the wives and concubines couldn't help but be overjoyed. Nothing made them happier than Li Zhiyun's safe return.

Huaiyang was about to give birth, and with a big belly, she came out to meet Li Zhiyun with the support of her sister, Princess Nanyang.

Because of Yuwen Shiji's harassment, Princess Nanyang agreed to Huaiyang to live in the Chu Palace during this time, while continuing to lead the practice, while taking care of her pregnant sister Huaiyang.

"Why are you so careless? I'll just go and see you at night, why come out." Li Zhiyun held Huaiyang cautiously with blame in his care.

Now he only has one son and two daughters under his knees, and Xiao Shunniang is still a fake daughter, so naturally he attaches great importance to every child who is about to be born.

No way, his brothers are very good at giving birth to sons.The prince, the king of Qin, and the king of Qi all have three or four sons now.

He was the only son, and he was still a concubine, which caused Aunt Wan Guifei to remind him every time they met.

If Concubine Wan Gui didn't remind him, she was implying Concubine Chu.

From the perspective of Concubine Wan Gui's mother, the son's future is important, but the prosperity of the offspring is more important.

In the same way, Du Ruhui, Xue Shou, Duan Zhixuan and others also believed that the prosperity of the Chu prince's heir was more important.

Because they are the confidantes of King Chu and understand King Chu's ambitions.

Listening to Yun Lang's words, Huaiyang's little mouth could not help but be happy, but she has a high EQ and is very sensible, so she didn't show affection with Li Zhiyun at this time.

"Husband, don't be nervous. The princess has been taking good care of my concubine. It's fine. During these days when my husband is away fighting, it's the princess who is taking care of my concubine."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun looked at the dignified and beautiful young woman beside her.

"Miss, thank you for your hard work." He stretched out his hand to embrace Princess Chu again.

Concubine Chu gave him a blank look, and said, "Gianniang is also pregnant, you have to accompany her well in the future."

Wei Gui is pregnant?

He looked up at Wei Gui, the intellectual young woman blushed and bowed her head in silence.

"Okay, let's talk later if you have anything to say, Ah Lang, you should take a shower and change clothes first." Princess Chu said.

"it is good."

After half an hour.

After Li Zhiyun finished his bath, Princess Chu personally changed him into a robe.

"When did Guiniang become pregnant?" Li Zhiyun pinched his wife's rosy pretty face and asked.

While tidying his belt, Princess Chu complained, "A month or so after you left for the battle, Guiniang became pregnant. At that time you were fighting outside, and my concubine was afraid that you would be distracted by foreign affairs, so I didn't tell you."

One month, isn't that around November?

Tsk, I didn't expect that I could do it quite well.

Happy is naturally happy, but how can he not hear the resentful tone in his wife's words.So, he bowed quietly and whispered in her ear.

After a while, Concubine Chu punched him on the chest with a small fist, and then spat at him softly.

"lecher."

Li Zhiyun chuckled, his thick-skinned face didn't even turn red.

Holding his wife's slender and tight waist with both hands, he looked at the purple and white robe on his body, and asked, "You made this yourself, right?"

Princess Chu didn't speak, but hummed a few words with her little mouth upturned.

The husband and wife rubbed their ears together for a while, and then walked to the main hall together.

Li Zhiyun talked to Wei Gui first, warming her up, and then gave Huaiyang a few words.

At this time, Xiao Chengjing came out with the encouragement of her mother, Yin Shi, and kowtowed to Li Zhiyun.

"Boy respectfully wish father a victory and return, wish father, father wish." As he spoke, his little face turned red, obviously he forgot the words.

Yin Shi rubbed the center of her brows silently, obviously taught for several days, why still can't learn it.

Xiao Chengjing was less than two years old and could barely speak, so naturally she couldn't speak those awkward classical Chinese words.

Li Zhiyun handed Bao Niang in his arms to Princess Chu, stepped forward, picked up Xiao Chengjing and put him in his arms.

"Who taught you this?"

"Mother." Xiao Chengjing said the truth.

Yin said with a smile: "The concubine is also idle when she is idle, so she wants to teach the child well so that he will not fail in the future."

Li Zhiyun touched the eldest son's head, and said to her: "The child is still young, and his speech is not thorough. How can he understand these things. As long as he grows up healthy now, I don't expect anything else. And you, don't give too much to the child." pressure."

"Yes." Yin agreed.

Princess Chu smiled at this time and said: "Mr. Yin, you don't have to worry about your child being incompetent. Children of the royal family, how can they be compared with ordinary people in the market. When the child grows up, I will personally find a famous teacher for him to teach him, and I will never wrong him. "

"Thank you, Princess." Yin bowed her head silently.

Li Zhiyun looked at the chubby little face of the eldest son, and gently squeezed it.The little guy was raised in pink and jade, and at first glance it looks a bit like a girl.
