"Yes, third sister, you are still young, you will be well raised." Yuan Ji also followed to persuade Mingwan.

Mingwan shook her head, "My own body, I know it myself." I'm dying, but I'm not at ease when I'm leaving, so I've invited you to come. ”

Jiancheng wiped a handful of tears and said, "Mingwan, just say anything you want, we are all here." ”

With tears in her eyes, Ming Wan said: "Big brother, Shimin, Yuanji, the queen mother gave birth to a total of five children, Xuanba died early, and there are four of us left, and now I will die soon, there are only three of you." I have heard of some discord between you in recent days, and I just want to tell you that no matter what happens, you are all brothers of the same mother! ”

"Mingwan, don't say it, the eldest brother understands that it is the eldest brother who is not good, and he has not been a good eldest brother that has caused a lot of friction between the brothers." Built to cry.

Mingwan took Jiancheng's hand and said, "No, big brother, you let me say it, if you don't say it, there will be no chance in the future." I know that the conflicts between you were all caused by the pair of sisters at the beginning, and I also used to mess up the mandarin duck spectrum and try to match the eldest brother and Zixuan, but it didn't work well. Now Ziyi has become the princess of Qi, and Zixuan is also married to Shimin, I hope you will let it go, it's just two women, how can it compare to the brotherhood of compatriots. If you fight because of this, and let me see my mother, how can you tell her? ”

The three brothers all knew that what Mingwan saw was only a superficial phenomenon, how could their fight be because of the pair of sisters. It's because the supreme imperial power is too tempting, and because no one can let go of the situation of life and death, once you let go, it is equivalent to giving up your life, and there will be an abyss from which you will never recover. But what can the face say to a dying man? So the three brothers promised Mingwan that they would not fight any more, so please rest assured.

Within a few days, Princess Li Mingwan of Pingyang left the West. Mingwan's death made Li Yuan grief and tears, and he wanted to give Mingwan the most beautiful funeral. At this time, some people were not interested, and Tang Jian reported that no military band could be set up at Princess Pingyang's funeral.

Li Yuan said angrily: "No band? Who said that? ”

Tang Jian said: "Back to the emperor, the person in charge of the sacrifice often said that according to the rules of the funeral, there is never a military band for women to enter the earth. ”

Li Yuan slapped the dragon case fiercely, "Why not military music?" In that year, Jinyang raised troops, Pingyang beat gongs and drums, raised a rebel army, and assisted me in establishing a great cause! How can my princess be compared to ordinary women? My princess has made outstanding achievements, and what is not worthy of military music? ”

Pei Lin gave the brainless Tang Jian a look, and said, "What the emperor said is very true. ”

Li Yuan said: "It's so decided, the band will be added before and after the funeral procession in Pingyang, and 60 people will be escorted with swords and swords with honor guards, and tiger warriors will be sent along the way to be on guard along the road!" ”

Tang Jian said in a whisper: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Princess Pingyang left, but the concubine Chai Shao was depressed, borrowing wine all day to drown his sorrows, and on this day he came to the palace of King Qin with a wine jug, and he had to drink a few glasses with the people. Shimin had to accompany him, Zixuan ordered someone to make some side dishes, and prepared a decanting soup for Chai Shao. But Chai Shao only cared about drinking, and didn't touch anything else, pulling the people to talk about his past with Mingwan, saying that Jinyang had raised troops, and that their son Chai Lingwu.

Shimin persuaded: "Brother-in-law, I can understand your feelings, but the third sister has passed away, you can't always be depressed like this." ”

"You don't understand, you don't understand." Chai Shao drank his tongue wide, "I'm not a concubine who is greedy for wealth, I married Mingwan before the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, and we really love each other." ”

Zixuan also helped persuade: "It is precisely because of true love that you can't be like this, you are so bad about yourself, can the princess rest in peace in the spirit of the sky?" ”

"You know what?" Chai Shao waved the wine jug and almost hit Zixuan, "I can't wait to drink to death and let her go, so that we will never be separated again......"

Zixuan walked over, snatched Chai Shao's wine jug without saying anything, and shouted: "Look at what you look like now, I'm really not worth it for the princess!" Princess Pingyang is a rare heroine in ancient times, and she married a colt who only knows the love of her children! The high-spirited General Chai I've seen is gone, and now in front of me is just a pony who wants to die or live, and you're really a shame for the princess! ”

Chai Shao was stunned by her scolding, and then was scolded and woke up, and dropped a sentence, "I won't embarrass Mingwan!" He stumbled out of the Qin Palace, and since then he has been in battle to kill the enemy as before, and he is still the high-spirited General Chai.

History also stumbled into the seventh year of Wude like Chai Shao, at this time Li Jing had also pacified Jiangnan and forced to land in Lingnan, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty was generally stable.

In March, Li Yuan issued an edict to reform the official system: below the emperor, there were Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong, known as the "Three Princes"; followed by the Shangshu, the Men, the Zhongshu, the Secretary, the Palace, and the Inner Servant, called the "Six Provinces"; followed by the Yushitai, the second Taichang to Taifu is the "Nine Temples"; The second general is the supervisor, the second national sub-supervisor, and the second Tiance general's office; The second left and right guards to the left and right leading guards are the "fourteen guards"; The East Palace is equipped with three divisions, three young people, Zhan Shi and two squares, three temples, and ten rate mansions; The king, the princess, the princess, and the princess are the officials of the city, and they are the officials of the Beijing government. Prefectures, counties, towns, and towns are foreign ministers. From the opening of the palace with the three divisions to the twenty-eighth rank of the general Shilang, he is called "Wen Sanguan"; The hussar general to the thirty-first rank of the deputy lieutenant of the accompanying Rong is the "military officer"; Shangzhu State to the twelfth rank of military cavalry captain, for the "Honored Officer".

For this reform, Li Yuan elevated the status of the Tiance General's Mansion in order to appease the people, but in the eyes of Jiancheng and Yuanji, it was the people who increased the weight of the struggle.

This year's summer is unbearable, the scorching sun is scorching Chang'an City, the sun is white, like a needle, dazzling, and the heat wave makes people feel weak, and even breathing has become heavy. Li Yuan, who had already calmed down the world, decided to breathe a sigh of relief, give himself a vacation, and go to the palace located north of Chang'an-Renzhi Palace to escape the summer and relax, and let Shimin and Yuanji accompany him, so that the crown prince Jiancheng stayed in Chang'an and was responsible for handling daily government affairs.

Knowing this arrangement, Ziyi came to discuss with Yuan Ji: "Yuan Ji, when Zi Xuan was in the third year of Wude, Zi Xuan told me that Li Shimin still had five or six years to ascend the throne, although she didn't say for sure, but now it is the seventh year of Wude, and it is only about one or two years. And your eldest brother has not made up his mind to kill Li Shimin until now, can you let Zixuan's prophecy come true? ”R1152
