Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 293

Gangneung.

After several months, the Tang army finally broke through the capital of Xiao Liang's forces and forced Xiao Mian to surrender.

The person who accepted Xiao Xian's surrender was Li Xiaogong, king of Zhaojun, but the actual hero was Li Jing who was hiding behind.

But Li Jing didn't care about these false names at all, he had already received the imperial decree of commendation from Li Yuan.In Li Jing's opinion, nothing would make him happier than eliminating Li Yuan's murderous intentions.

As for military exploits, forget it.Throughout the imperial court's foreign wars, the chief meritorious service will always be the clan generals.

He is good at protecting himself wisely, so naturally he will not argue with Li Xiaogong about these things.

Li Daoxuan rode his horse and came to Li Jing's side, looking at the Tang army who was entering Jiangling.

"General Li is the god of using soldiers, and I am convinced by this king. Being able to work with the general is really reassuring."

Along the way, Li Daoxuan watched with his own eyes how Li Jing defeated the puppet Liang army step by step.In Li Daoxuan's view, the god of military strategy and strategy, even the King of Qin may not necessarily be able to say that he is absolutely superior.

Li Jing said humbly: "Actually, it's not the credit of my subordinates, but the decision of the imperial court's background. The Tang Dynasty's national strength is strong, its soldiers are fine and well-fed, there are thousands of generals, and the saints are enlightened and powerful. This is just a trivial contribution."

Li Daoxuan teased: "General Li doesn't need to humble himself in front of this king, I will see your contribution."

Li Jing chuckled and didn't speak again.

He doesn't want to draw attention if he can.Even so, he was quite emotional.With the help of Guan Long, the Tang Dynasty also had many outstanding children of the royal family, and it was only a matter of time before the world was unified.He understood that even without him, King Qin or King Chu could solve Xiao Mian.

After all, this world still belongs to the Li family, and it still belongs to Guan Long.

Seeing that Li Jing didn't speak, Li Daoxuan didn't care, he was thinking about the mission that King Chu had entrusted to him.

Jiangling, Cen Mansion.

Cen Wenwen is the grandson of Cen Shanfang, Shangshu of the Xiliang Ministry of Officials, and his father, Cen Zhixiang, was the Minister of Yu in the Sui Dynasty.When he was fourteen years old, his father, Cen Zhixiang, was unjustly imprisoned, and Cen Wenwen sued his father alone, and finally achieved great success, which made him famous in the world.

Later Xiao Mian proclaimed himself emperor, and because of his background and talent, Cen Wenwen was appointed by Xiao Mian as the Minister of Zhongshu.

Now that Jiangling has fallen and Xiliang is subjugated again, he is also packing up his belongings in the mansion, and is going to go to Chang'an with his old master.

With the future uncertain, Cen Wenwen couldn't help but sigh.

He is a man without ambition, never thought of assisting Xiao Mian to achieve supremacy.The reason for saying this is because Cen Wenwen is very smart.

He knew very well that Li Tang was based in Guanlong, and as long as he didn't make mistakes, he would be able to rule the world sooner or later.

On the other hand, what about Xiliang?
The gentry competed for power and profit with each other, Xiao Xian was suspicious and jealous, how could he achieve great things?
Today's defeat by Tang Jun was within his expectations.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about Lin Shihong, Xiliang has the support of the Jiangzuo gentry, but it has never been able to solve Lin Shihong, which is enough to show how big the problem in Xiliang is.

Although his ancestors had served as officials in Xiliang in the past dynasties, Cen's right to speak in the south was still not enough after all.

"My lord, what are you worried about?" Son Cen Manqian asked.

Cen Wenwen sighed: "I will go to Chang'an soon, thinking hard and worrying, I don't know what the future will be."

Cen Manqian said: "We have already surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Emperor should not do anything to us."

"That being said, the world is unpredictable." Cen Wenwen shook his head.

At this time, a group of Tang troops suddenly rushed into Cen's residence, and the leader was Li Daoxuan, King of Huaiyang.

Cen Wenwen and his son hurried up and looked at Li Daoxuan in surprise, fearing that the other party would suddenly commit murder.

"May I ask what is the general's business here?" Cen Wenwen steadied his mind, clasped his fists and asked.

Li Daoxuan looked him up and asked, "You are Cen Wenwen?"

"It's right down there."

"very good."

very good?

What does this mean?
Cen Wenwen asked in puzzlement: "The general is here, is there something wrong?"

"Yes." Li Daoxuan grinned, "Someone wants you."

want me?
Cen Wenwen was surprised.

"Who wants my lord?" Cen Manqian asked.

Li Daoxuan said: "When you arrive in Chang'an, you will know. From now on, you should follow this king. Remember, this is not a discussion, but an order."

Hearing this, Cen Wenwen was speechless and helpless.

October, Chang'an.

The wind is getting tighter and the weather is getting colder.

Ever since Pei Ju became prime minister and Liu Wenjing left Chang'an, the prince's voice suddenly fell silent, and Li Jiancheng seldom quarreled with King Qin on court affairs.

Originally, the courtiers thought it was due to the grounding.After the foot ban was lifted in October, the prince and King Qin still had no confrontation.

It seems that all of a sudden, everyone has become brothers who love each other.

Li Shimin wasn't sure what the prince meant, so he didn't dare to act rashly, and was going to wait and see what happened, and continue to observe carefully.

So, in this weird situation, the court was quiet for more than three months.

Li Zhiyun knew what the prince was up to, so he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.

In October of the fourth year of Wude, good news came from the south. Li Xiaogong, king of Zhao County, captured Jiangling and captured the false Liang Emperor Xiao Xian.

Old Li was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

After killing Xiao Xian, there is only one Lin Shihong left in the south, and Feng An in the south.In the eyes of Lao Li, these two people are lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and the unification of the South by the Tang Dynasty is just around the corner.

Chu Palace, Wei Gui's room.

The cat-sized child was held in Li Zhiyun's arms, taking care of him carefully.

This is his third son, Lee Seung Yeol.

The reason for choosing this name is because Cheng Lie almost died when he was just born!

Poet Shang praises the long hair article; it is like a fire.

Li Zhiyun hoped that the child's life would boil and burn like a raging fire, and strive for self-improvement.

To be honest, the eldest son Chengjing, the second son Chengyan, and even the eldest daughter Baoniang did not die young, except that when Xiao Chenglie was born, he was so weak that Li Zhiyun was so frightened that he slept for days and nights. I don't feel good.

Fortunately, this child has passed the most dangerous time after all.

Wei Gui was sleeping on the couch, watching her husband take care of her son carefully, with a gentle motherly rhyme on her face.

"Husband, Lie'er is already much better, don't worry."

She knew that Li Zhiyun had been living in fear these days.

"En." Li Zhiyun nodded, and gently placed the child beside Wei Gui.

He smiled and said: "I now hope that Lie'er will grow up quickly. Jing'er and Yan'er, as elder brothers, will definitely take good care of him."

Wei Gui smiled and reached out to caress Xiao Chenglie's little face.

Suddenly, she remembered something and asked, "Husband, is Eldest Sister feeling better?"

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun's expression was slightly unnatural.

Entering October, Princess Chu felt a little uncomfortable.Li Zhiyun knew that she was more of a heart disease.

"It's much better." Li Zhiyun comforted Wei Gui.

To be honest, every time he had a son, Princess Chu would always get a little emotional, and he was getting used to it.

He didn't feel bored, but felt sorry for his wife.

Because although Concubine Chu was unhappy, she never did anything harmful to nature, instead she always maintained harmony among wives and concubines in the mansion.

If you get a wife like this, you will have no regrets in this life.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of her." Li Zhiyun added.

At this moment, Princess Chu walked in.

"Aron."

"You are not well yet, why don't you take a good rest." Li Zhiyun frowned, got up and took her hand.

"I've met my elder sister." Wei Gui was about to get up to greet her, but Princess Chu pressed her to rest.

She smiled and said, "You should take a good rest now." Then, she took out a pair of tiger-toe shoes, "Look, I made these for my children. They don't look good, so don't blame me."

Wei Gui smiled and said, "It looks good, Lie Er will definitely like it."

Seeing his wife's generosity, Li Zhiyun looked at her affectionately, "My lady, you have worked hard."

Princess Chu shook her head with a smile, and lightly squeezed Li Zhiyun's palm, "I am Lie'er's mother, so I should."

In this day and age, there are too many examples of big wives being jealous.Leaving aside, Lao Li's deceased wife, Dou Shi, is a typical example.

Nearer is Fang Xuanling's wife who likes to be jealous.

Therefore, Li Zhiyun felt that he was very lucky to be able to marry such a magnanimous lady.It is precisely because of this that Li Zhiyun likes her more and more.
