"The identities of those guys have been found out?"

Li Xuanba's eyes were bright, and he was quite concerned about the origin of these people who attacked the camp.

"There is no clue of it! But it is not the same as the bandits during the day. ”

Li Yan shook his head, and then said hesitantly: "Lord Jireiro seems to have seen something, but he is very secretive. ”

"It's really careful to hide your head and show your tail. ”

Li Xuanba snorted coldly, and then asked Li Shimin in a puzzled manner: "Brother, what is the origin of these two bandits?"

Speaking of this, he said with some apprehension: "Could it be Your Majesty?"

He thinks this way for a reason. The twelve 'golden people' handed down by Daqin, in addition to their own strong combat power, also symbolize imperial power, and their status is not inferior to the jade seal and Jiuding of the country.

Therefore, throughout the ages, there have been many cases of the royal family plotting against the family heirloom of the vassals. Especially since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, in order to prove their legitimacy, the emperors of all generations have resorted to unscrupulous means when they plot.

With those precedents, he will inevitably think about today's events in the worst way.

"This is unlikely, with the temper of our majesty, if you really want this 'Meridian Xuanguang', you can directly ask the Duke of Bohai County to present this thing. Unless it is a last resort, this person will never use such unseemly means. ”

When Li Shimin said this, his heart moved slightly. However, he immediately suppressed this thought, and instead glared at the younger brother: "What do you want to do so much? The identity of these people has nothing to do with us." ”

At this time, Li Yan continued to report: "In addition, we also seized thirty-three relatively complete night beasts and six divine blades. All it takes is a minor fix and it's ready to go. And then there's a lot of ink armor parts—"

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "Then how are these seizures distributed?"

"Neither Lord Jireiro nor Prince Wuji will take a cent. ”

Li Yan's face couldn't help but show a little smile: "Lord Jireiro insisted on delaying it, saying that these two attacks by bandits were all because of their involvement. This is just the daytime, how dare you brazenly ask for the seizure at night? However, I said that I wanted to ask the son, but I still did not agree. ”

He had just taken a closer look at those armors, and although they were old, they were all newly created. In the dark set of Daxing City, these armors can be sold for at least tens of thousands of silver dollars.

Li Shimin's eyes were half-closed when he heard this, and then he made a decision: "Since Uncle Gao Shishu said so, then accept it." You can then select twenty-five of these armors and give them to Liu Zhenghui. For the rest of the part, I also asked Uncle Liu Shi to help and see if I could find a suitable buyer in this neighborhood. ”

Tonight, Tang Guofu only injured six people, but the soldiers of the government suffered heavy casualties, and he had to give an explanation to these people who died in battle and to Liu Zhenghui.

Especially in the past seven years, His Majesty has issued an edict ordering all the guards to go to Zhuojun to assemble, hoping to gather millions of troops and personally conquer Goryeo. Longquan Yingyang Mansion, because it is close to Zhuo County, so the period of sending troops is after February.

At this time, the elite of the government army under Liu Zhenghui lost nearly 100 people in vain, and presumably this Longquan Eagle Yang Lang will have a headache.

Li Yan was a little reluctant, thinking that most of these soldiers were just mud legs. Even if you want to pay for it, why do you need so much money?

However, after thinking about it, he still didn't plan to open his mouth to admonish. A large part of these armors captured tonight were the achievements of the two brothers Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji. No matter what this armor does, no one else has anything to say.

What's more, what Li Shimin did was, in the eyes of the world, the so-called righteous act.

Li Shimin seemed to see through this person's intentions, and smiled coldly: "Don't worry, the rules in the army, this son still knows." If you do it, you will be punished, and you will be rewarded for your achievements. When these ink armors make a move, they will not disappoint everyone. ”

This time, in addition to the seizures at night, there were also a lot of gains during the day. Civil ink armor such as 'Kaishan', 'Cattle and Horses', 'Tulong', etc., are all sought-after goods among the people, whether they are used to plough the land or pull carts, they are all good hands.

These armor tools were temporarily regarded as 'trophies' by Liu Zhenghui and used as a tool to win the trust of Shangguan. But this man had already promised that after ten days at most, the money from the sale of the ink armor would be delivered to him.

Li Xuanba looked at Li Yan with a happy face, and there was a slight disappointment in his eyes.

This veteran, who has served in the Tang Mansion for nearly 40 years, is now not only deaf and blind, timid and afraid, but also has no responsibility, and in terms of money, he seems to care too much.

On February 21, the eighth year of the Great Cause, Luoyang City, the eastern capital,

At this time, in the Luoyang Imperial City, in front of the Chongde Palace, Li Yuan, the young eunuch in the palace, was leading a group of subordinate officials to roam around in front of a row of cages.

He was forty-six years old at the time, in the prime of life, wearing a crimson court robe, with a majestic posture, a dragon and a tiger step, and a graceful bearing.

"So, the honor guards of your Shang Yuan Bureau have been prepared?"

"Your Majesty's travel courtesy, flags, umbrella fans, etc., have all been prepared!"

Behind Li Yuan, a middle-aged man in a light crimson official robe bowed down and replied calmly: "There are three other sets of honor guards to spare, all of which are supervised by the Shaofu, and from the hands of famous craftsmen, the young eunuch can be inspected at any time." ”

This is the palace of the provincial Shang Bureau, is the fifth grade, in charge of the palace should be the guard of honor, chariot and everything.

"I'll check it later!"

Li Yuan bowed slightly as he spoke, touched a bright yellow robe in the cage with his hand, and then frowned tightly.

This made Fengyu, who was not far from the rear, his face blue and frightened.

But at this moment, Li Yuan saw a white-faced and beardless inner prisoner running under the palace gate in the distance.

"Duke Tang, Your Majesty has a summons, please go to the Qianyuan Hall with the slave!"

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows, and then hurriedly got up: "Lead the way ahead!"

However, after leaving, Li Yuan still glared at his subordinate officer who was in charge of the Shangyi Bureau: "Later, this official will come to inspect." If there is another omission, it will not be spared. ”

Then the sleeves of his robe waved, ignoring the grateful Shangyi Bureau, followed the inner supervisor in front of him, and walked quickly in the direction of Daxing Palace.

In fact, there is no problem with the robe itself, but the problem is that the underneath is not properly maintained, which makes the box damp.

This is just a trivial matter, but the position of young eunuch in this palace has been obtained by him with great effort in recent years. Therefore, I never want to make a mistake at the beginning of my tenure, and I don't want to be despised by the following subordinate officials. Therefore, everything within its jurisdiction is no matter how big or small, and it will not be tolerated.

What's more, when it comes to the emperor, no matter what trivial things are, they are all important matters of the country.

The distance between Chongde Hall and Qianyuan Hall is not far, only half a moment, and a magnificent hall in front is already in sight. This is the place where the two emperors of the Great Sui Dynasty met with their ministers and discussed government affairs. The surrounding guards are displayed, and the rules are deep and strict.

After Li Yuan arrived at this hall, he lowered his high-spirited and majestic posture a little and became groveling. Soon after, he saw a majestic man wearing a crown of heaven and a robe in the distance, walking out in high spirits and magnificence.

This is exactly what Yang Guang is today!

"Your Majesty—"

Li Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, bending down and bowing his head.

Yang Guang laughed, and without waiting for Li Yuan to finish his etiquette, he grabbed his arm and said loudly: "Shude, go in with me, there is a small court discussion today! ”

Li Yuan looked stunned for a moment, then he collected the essence in his eyes, and hurriedly retreated and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's qualifications are still shallow, and he is not in his position, so it is not suitable to listen to the major affairs of the court!"

He could probably guess what Yang Guang was going to discuss today, but he didn't want to get involved.

Yang Guang snorted, and Li Yuan's arm, who was still pulling strongly, went straight to the hall: "Shude, you're just too cautious. Why should you and my aunt and cousin be so stubborn? Moreover, I have summoned you back to Beijing this time to let you see the major politics of the DPRK and China, broaden your horizons, and assist me in governing the country in the future. Stop talking nonsense, and go with me to meet those ministers!"

Li Yuan was not at all proud, but was honestly afraid, and followed Yang Guang's side step by step.

When he walked into the Daxing Palace, he saw that there were already many powerful people in the court.

At the forefront are Nayan Su Wei, Zuo Yiwei's general Yu Wenshu, Huangmen's squire Pei Ju, and Yushi Dafu Pei Yun. These four people, together with today's leave due to illness, were unable to attend the venue, known as the "five nobles". They have won the trust of the Son of Heaven and are famous in the world.

In addition to these four people, Li Yuan also saw two gray-haired old ministers, one was Fan Zigai, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who was over the age of old, but still held an important position, mastering the world's household registration and finance, and also knowing the affairs of the officials.

The other, with a wide forehead and a broad face, has a magnificent posture, even if his temples are white, his eyes are still shining, and he is Duan Wenzhen, the secretary of the military department.

There is another one, who does not stand in the same place with everyone and pinches his beard alone to do deep thought, is the Ministry of Works, the master of construction Yu Wenkai.

It was the first time since Li Yuan served the Holy Driver that so many important ministers had gathered in a small court meeting. However, because he had expected it, he was only stunned at this time, and his face returned to normal, and he saluted the princes in the hall.

He served as the young eunuch in the palace, responsible for taking charge of the emperor and taking food and medicine, and other affairs, all of which were important matters related to the emperor's net worth.

This is a confidant of the Son of Heaven, and people who are not close and reliable cannot take responsibility.

But purely in terms of status and power, there is still a big gap between him Li Yuan and these ministers who participate in the secrets of the imperial court and hold real power.

And all the princes present here are obviously accustomed to Yang Guang's willfulness, and although they are surprised by the arrival of this person, no one criticizes him. Several of them smiled back at Li Yuan with kind expressions.

A young eunuch in the palace of the fourth grade is naturally not in the eyes of these powerful people. But if this person is still the Duke of Tang Guo, and the brothers and nephews in the family are all in charge of the martial arts Li clan in the army, they can't help but let these people face it squarely.
