Liangyi Palace, the place of the emperor's inner court.

In addition to summoning the people of the sect to ask the right questions, or opening a small court meeting, Li Yuan often feasted his subordinates here, and the famous Hundred Beasts Banquet was set here.

Of course, Li Yuan and Pei Lin usually drank in the Ganlu Palace, which was the emperor's bedroom, which was already within the scope of the palace prohibition, and ordinary courtiers could not enter.

Li Po now lives in the Liangyi Palace, where he can summon foreign ministers at any time, and it is not as deep and solemn as the Taiji Palace, so he was photographed by Li Po and became his temporary residence.

As for the harem...... Li Po hadn't gone in yet, there were a lot of women in it, and all the men wanted to go in and have a look, but as long as he thought that it was Li Yuan's territory, he stopped again.

In fact, according to the current customs, since he led the troops into Xijing, everything that Li Yuan, the loser, had before belonged to his new master, including his wife and concubine.

Regardless of the Central Plains or the outside of the Saiwai, this seems to be a conventional rule, but the grassland is more primitive.

But Li Po didn't have such a good mouth in the end, plus he was dizzy and dizzy when he was busy with military and political affairs, where would he ask for trouble, it just so happened that Li Bi was energetic, and he was more willing to live in the inner courtyard of the palace and play the prestige of the lord of the six palaces, so the responsibility of rectifying the harem naturally went to Li Bi's hands.

These days, the husband and wife live separately from each other across the palace wall of the internal forbidden, and they have been living together peacefully.

Li Po didn't ask about the things over there, in other words, the less concerned he was, the happier Li Bi became, and the husband and wife had been together for many years, and this bit of proportion was simply easy to come by.

It's just that tonight's whereabouts are a bit weird, which naturally breaks the tacit understanding between the husband and wife.

When Li Po returned to the Liangyi Hall and was ready to sleep, the scene he saw was his wife leaning on the couch, pretending to hold a book, and reading quietly by candlelight.

The palace people have long been gone, the room is quiet, Li Po looks left and right, and sighs secretly in his heart, even if he becomes an emperor, what can he do? The people around you can't sell you cleanly, and with a little wind and grass, this mother-in-law received the news......

Hmph, don't push Lao Tzu too much, otherwise we will live in the harem, and let you sour your teeth every day, and I won't take a look at you.

I was ruthless in my heart, but I still leaned on the couch, "What kind of book are you reading, let me take a look." ”

Li Bi raised his eyes to look at him for a moment, then snorted, turned around, and said that he was very annoyed, don't talk to us, don't bother to talk to you.

Li Po rolled his eyelids, you tigress, it's a little late to learn other cats.

Carefully stepped forward and put his arm on the other party's shoulder, ready to react when the other party broke out, so he dared to use a little force, "Talking to you, you don't know, I got good news today, I'm happy......"

Sure enough, as soon as the book was put down, he grabbed his arm and wanted to flip him over on the couch.

It's a pity that he was prepared, so he shook his hand and pulled his arm back, and said while retreating: "Don't make trouble, this is the Liangyi Palace, the place where the emperor will meet......"

Li Bi over there had already pounced, and his mouth was not idle, "It turned out that there was a happy event, I said it." ”

The husband and wife were finally polite again, crackling together, and occasionally someone screamed in pain, and there was a collision of fists and feet.

can turn that little thing between husband and wife into such a fierce confrontation, it is estimated that there is only such a couple in the world.

In the end, Li Po suffered a big loss, and the mother worm who raised her hair was smooth and slippery, and the jealous mother worm completely gained the upper hand, making her husband sore and begging for mercy again and again.

Li Po naturally never expected that it was others who begged him before, and he would be retributioned so quickly.

…………………………………………

"Husband is too, a married woman, and not long after Li Yuan's father and son died, you went to the door, how bad is the reputation? This is also too urgent......

But also, I haven't seen each other for so many years, but it's understandable...... The concubine is a woman's family, and it is not easy to take care of these things, and she has too much to manage, just like in Jinyang, she wants to provoke her tongue, or the husband himself rats the tail juice. ”

After tossing enough, Li Bi found a new dress to put on her body, nagged words that she didn't believe herself, and then ignored the defeated dog, and went back triumphantly to continue to be the master of her six palaces.

This night Li Po dreamed of a very big tiger, chased him and ran all night, after waking up, everything was wrong, endured the pain, got up and did a long stretch, before he could get through, he was already scolding in his heart, and the mother-in-law was getting heavier and heavier.

Fortunately, it was not like before, Li Bi, who was angry, greeted Li Po's face regardless of it, this time he saved face, but his face was not hit a few times, and he could see that it was a little red and swollen after a closer look.

After some family education, Li Po was completely honest.

In fact, this is not a big deal, not to mention that Li Po didn't do anything outside, even if he did, most of the practices in these years are just to bring women outside into the house as much as possible.

There are very few troublemakers, after all, family ugliness cannot be publicized, and a strong woman like Li Bi only protests at most, and does not treat it as a big event, and it is already a shocking act to beat each other with her husband.

is like a famous tigress in Fang Xuanling's family in Chang'an City, but she just took a stick or something like that and whipped her husband's fat a few times, telling him not to mess with me.

So later, many people miss how it used to be, and that's normal, who doesn't like to take advantage?

And because this is an era of Hu Feng moving southward, the atmosphere is particularly open, and women are actually far less constrained than later, especially when Zhu Zili is dominant.

Of course, Li Pocai doesn't think so much, he has been used to it all these years, not only is he clear about Li Bi's temperament, but Li Bi is also almost inseparable, so the two have always had a tacit understanding, and their families are also very harmonious.

Occasionally, there is some emotion, just like last night, and you will know who is more reasonable.

Li Po still has endless things to do in front of him, and he can't make trouble for himself.

Qu Tutong descended, which was more exciting than visiting the princess's mansion at night, and the detailed battle reports arrived in Chang'an one after another, and after two or three days, the process was already clear as if it was happening in front of you.

In fact, it is also expected that if Li Shimin leads the men and horses to merge with Qu Tutong, then there is still the power of a battle, after all, two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses, whether they go west or return east, they all have the strength to change the situation.

However, Li Shimin's troops were successively defeated in the middle of the road, and the entire army was almost annihilated, and Qu Tutong's more than 100,000 troops stationed on the front line of Qinzhou were immediately in embarrassment.

In fact, this still cannot be attributed to how fierce their enemies were, how quickly they acted, and how accurate they were in terms of strategy and tactics, but a large part of the reason was that there was already vacillation within the Tang Army.

The speed of Li Shimin's westward retreat was too slow, because the generals in the army had disagreements, and too many people's strongmen and grain and grass were collected along the road, and the Tang army was defeated in a battle, its morale was low, and its military discipline was sloppy was also an important reason that could not be ignored.

On the other hand, Qu Tutong's department had already received a message from Li Shimin, but what did he do, he was stationed in Qinzhou and did not lead the army to meet Li Shimin.

Fufeng is not far from Qinzhou, and he almost watched Li Shimin's department defeat at Fufeng, which is equivalent to standing by and watching death.

Why?

The answer is simply too simple, what does it mean that the militia of Li Shi, the king of Qin, was defeated and fled west? Chang'an has fallen? Losing Xijing is almost equivalent to losing most of Kansai.

Li Shimin's subordinates have analyzed it very clearly, it is very dangerous to join Qu Tutong, Qu Tutong sees that the Li clan is declining, if he is unwilling to let go of the military power, then a Tang army's internal strife will be inevitable.

It is much safer to go to Shuzhong, even if Li Xiaogong repeats, then they can also base themselves in Hanzhong first to wait and see.

Sure enough, Li Shimin led the army to continue westward and encountered the worst result, not to mention being caught up by the enemy on the way, but there was no movement at all on Qu Tutong's side.

In fact, this has already revealed the final result.

Wei Chigong led his troops into Qinzhou, confronted Qu Tutong for several days, persuaded to surrender to no avail, Zhang Lun, Xue Wanche and others arrived one after another, there were not many soldiers, only tens of thousands.

But the division of a hundred battles, morale is in full swing, they have just defeated Li Shimin's more than 100,000 troops fleeing west, and they have captured countless people, not to mention that there are only more than 100,000 people in the Qu Tutong Department in front, even if it is hundreds of thousands, this Jin army, which has nearly 20,000 horsemen, also has the determination and confidence to break it in a battle.

And Zhang Lun also brought Li Po's handwritten letter of persuasion.

Strategically speaking, Qu Tutong surrender is also inevitable, once Fufeng and other places are lost, the connection between Qinzhou and Shuzhong will be cut off, which means that the Qinzhou army not only lost such a stable rear in Guanxi, but also lost the supply of grain and grass in Shu.

For the Tang army of Qinzhou, it was similar to the defenders of Tongguan, and they were almost dead.

Qu Tutong is also unlucky, whether it is for himself or other reasons such as the times, he is a relatively unlucky guy, and every time he fails, he is miserable.

The first time he was blocked in Tongguan and had to surrender, the second time he was blocked in Qinzhou, almost repeating the original story, and every time it was not a crime of war, you said that the nest is not a nest.

So Qu Tutong naturally surrendered, as in the previous Tang Dynasty, killed some people who did not want to surrender, and then led the army to sacrifice Qinzhou, Qinzhou changed hands again, Xue Rengao If he knew under the spring, it is estimated that he could laugh out of the pig's cry.

Qu Tutong fell, which means that Kansai is gradually becoming complete.

Whether it is Liang Shidu, Li Daozong, or even Guzang Direction, they can no longer pose too many threats, because they are all barren lands that people often say in the Central Plains, with limited development potential and not many soldiers.

Li Po and his courtiers discussed, the next object to be cleaned up, there is almost no need to ask, Li Xiaogong in Shuzhong is also.
