The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 586 570 Five: Shimin returns to Taiyuan Mansion, Li Yuan sits firmly in Chang'an City

The next day, Chai Shao personally went to the school's military field to order [-] soldiers for Li Shimin, and let him lead them away.

These [-] soldiers are mostly infantry!The leader of the army is called Wei Butong, the cousin of the general with the knife, Wei Wentong. This man has an upright personality, and he is a very obedient general!

Li Shimin saw it, and said to his brother-in-law Chai Shao: "Brother-in-law, why are most of these infantry soldiers?

Can you give me a few thousand more horses from your cavalry team!

With only infantry, how can we fight? "

Chai Shao smiled wryly after hearing this.

"Second brother! You don't know something!

After years of fighting, the cavalry team was taken to Yangzhou by Na Yu Wenhuaji.

There are so few horses in this pass, where did the cavalry come from?

It's just a bit of cavalry cavalry, don't I have to use it myself?
If all of them are assigned to you, wouldn't my army die?
Second brother!Just make do with it!

There is nothing I can do about this! "

Li Shimin said in his heart: This Chai Shao is quite selfish, he kept the good troops for himself, and gave all these infantry to me!

Li Shimin had no choice but to lead the infantry straight to Shanxi.

The infantry unit walked very slowly, and after more than 20 days, Li Shimin and the others arrived at Taiyuan Mansion.

Although these troops are not elite, they are better than nothing!

The defense of Shanxi Province has been strengthened all of a sudden.

Li Shimin gave a detailed report to his father about his trip to Shaanxi.

Li Yuan nodded after listening.

"Hmm! That section of Wuji is quite reasonable! If I don't go to Shaanxi, there is no hope of recovering Sichuan.

Now that Shanxi is stable, I think on the ninth day of next month, we will lead all the officials in the government to Beijing.

When the time comes to regain that Sichuan, the old man will find a way! "

The matter was settled like this. When they heard that they were moving to the capital, all the people around Li Yuan were overjoyed.

Then Chang'an City is a land of great power, and many people have seen the prosperity of it!

Especially Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, who will enter Beijing next month as soon as they hear.

But these two people were very happy.

Now it is eleven or twelve days away from the ninth day of the next month.

The officials in the Shanxi Mansion are all busy, and these people are all thinking about how to enjoy themselves after entering Beijing.

Now that the time has been set, all the staff are packing in advance, and the city of Taiyuan is busy.

On the ninth day of the next month, Li Yuan led the army and headed for the capital of Shaanxi with his family and all the officials.

There were tens of thousands of people accompanying them, and the team rushed straight to the capital.

After six or seven days of traveling, the team finally arrived at Chang'an City.

After Li Yuan saw the city of Chang'an, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

I have lived in Chang'an City for many years, and I don't know what happened to my mansion before.

I have been away from Chang'an for more than 20 years. When I left, I was still a young man.

I came back today, and half of the white hair on my head has been reduced.

Li Yuan reined in his horse, and said to the people behind him: "Everyone will come to Beijing with me today, everyone should keep a low profile, if anyone dares to swagger through the market, I will definitely not let you off lightly.

You know, our country is not yet settled, and the world is not peaceful yet, everyone must be diligent and thrifty in managing their households, and don't waste extravagance.

Everyone, let's go!Come with me into town! "

Li Yuan led his troops into the capital, and immediately moved into his old house.

After making arrangements for the house, they immediately sent people to inform Chai Shao, Duan Wuji, Duan Tieniu and the others.

Ask them to come to their mansion quickly to meet each other.

After receiving Li Yuan's order, the three of them rode over immediately.

The three of them got off their horses outside the gate of the mansion, greeted the gate guards, and immediately rushed to the mansion.

The three of them came to Li Yuan's room led by the servant.

I saw that Li Yuan was sitting at the table drinking tea.

Seeing three people coming in, Li Yuan quickly stood up and gave up his seat.

"Chai Shao, Wuji, Tieniu, you three sit down quickly! It's been such a long time since we parted, and we haven't chatted together for a long time!
The territory of Shaanxi is governed so well by you, which is beyond my expectation. "

The three of them sat on the chairs, and Li Yuan ordered people to offer fragrant tea.

The three chatted while drinking tea.

Li Yuan looked at Duan Wuji and asked, "Wuji! How are you doing these days?"

Duan Wuji smiled.

"Thanks to my lord, I've had a pretty good time these days, I don't have much to do all day long, I just practice kung fu.

All the big and small affairs are undertaken by my elder brother Chai alone.

Although there is no salary, there is still no problem with eating.

It's not good to just dawdle around every day, isn't it? "

Li Yuan laughed when he heard this.

"Everything's going well! That's all right. Now we're young, and we're poor.

If we want to pay people salaries, I'm afraid it will take two or three years.

Promise!Tieniu, please be patient.

When our situation improves, I will never treat you badly! "

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Even if the salary is paid in another three to five years, we two brothers have no complaints!

Who told us to choose to follow the adults, we must start well and end well, no matter what difficulties we have, we will never betray the adults. "

Li Yuan nodded and smiled.

"Well, that's fine.

Oh, the Promise!
The old man has entered Beijing now, how do you think we should go in the future? "

Duan Wuji smiled.

"My lord, Wuji is a small minister, he should not care about state affairs, as the saying goes, misfortune comes from the mouth, and disease comes from the mouth.

These major national events, which are things that we little people should care about!
You'd better ask others about these major national events!
After I saw these things, it was better not to open my mouth. "

Li Yuan put away his smile when he heard this, and said to Duan Wuji very seriously: "Wuji! But it doesn't matter.

Even if you say something wrong today, the old man will never blame you.

Old man, I like people who know everything and talk endlessly!

When you come to my place today, don't have any worries. If anyone dares to grab your pigtail, I will not forgive you lightly, old man.

Promise, tell me the truth. "

There is really no way for Duan Wuji to be squeezed out.

I had no choice but to stand up and say, "My lord, do you really want to hear the truth? If you really want to hear the truth, then I will tell you today.

If you want to hear Auntie's flattery, then I won't open my mouth today. "

Li Yuan laughed when he heard this.

"Of course I want to hear your truth, you are extremely intelligent and know the secrets of heaven.

If a person like you told lies, it would be a kind of sadness to the old man!

Today you and I have no outsiders, we know everything and say everything.No one is allowed to speak a lie.

Promise!A situation like last time will never happen in the future.

Say it now. "

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said to Li Yuan: "My lord, now our sphere of influence is Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. Although we have enough soldiers and food, if we want to become emperor now, I think it's too early.

Why don't we slow him down for a while, and let's talk about it in a year or so. "

Li Yuan nodded after listening.

"Well, that's fine too.

However, if I am not called emperor now, what capacity should I act in? "

Chai Shao laughed and said, "Father-in-law, isn't it easy to say this?
Since the Sui Dynasty, the head of the hundred officials has been the prime minister.

The adults can claim to be the prime minister, supervise the country as the prime minister, and command all the officials.

As for when to proclaim the emperor, let's see the situation at that time. "

Li Yuan nodded after listening.

"Well! Well then! Who will be the emperor during this time?
The position of the emperor can't be vacant, right? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Yang Guang has a nephew who is just 16 years old this year, this kid is talented and smart.

I think let him proclaim himself emperor!What is the name of this child!

oh!His name is Yang You. I have met this kid before. He is talented and intelligent, but his temperament is uncertain.

Looking at his face, he will be just like his uncle in the future, he will also be a greedy guy!

When such a person becomes the emperor, the adults can reward him with many beauties and let him enjoy it to his heart's content.

When our country is stable, can you just let him give in to me?

Even if you measure a child, he won't be able to achieve anything! "

Li Yuan nodded after listening.

"Okay, ok, ok! That's what we're going to do.

Tomorrow I will go to him personally and let him proclaim himself emperor first.

As for other things, let's discuss it slowly! "
