Xiao Dahu's death in exchange for the safety of 50,000 Northern Liao soldiers, which was worth it in Xiao Dahu's opinion, but Xiao Dahu didn't know that Wei Wuji didn't intend to kill the 50,000 soldiers, according to Li Jun's will, the captured soldiers, except for a few heinous crimes, were all sent to Shanglin Yuan for reform, and then selected well-reformed soldiers to form a Guiyi army.

So Wei Wuji sighed helplessly, and then sent someone to send Xiao Dahu's body back to Northern Liao.

The surrender of 50,000 Northern Liao soldiers represents a comprehensive victory in the battle of Hangai Mountain in the Tang Dynasty, in this battle the Tang Dynasty won more with less, the Northern Jin people lost nearly 50,000 soldiers, the Northern Liao surrendered 50,000, and the Tang Dynasty lost only 10,000 soldiers, which indicates that a new era has arrived, and the Tang Dynasty has truly entered the era of one Tang and five Hu.

For the victory, in recent years, the people of Datang have become commonplace, so after the news of Hang Aishan's victory came, although the newspaper tried its best to publicize it, it did not make any waves among the people, Li Jun was very dissatisfied with this, and now the hearts of the people have been raised, and it is far from enough to rely on the propaganda of the newspaper.

So Li Jun invited Yang Xiong, the secretary of the school, into the palace on this day, although the old man is close to the sixtieth year, he has long been clamoring to return to the mountains and forests, but since he became the secretary of the school, his body is getting better and better, and he can't tell that he is a seventy-six-year-old man at all.

After Yang Xiong entered the palace, he gave Li Jun a salute, and Li Jun hurriedly avoided it and said with a smile: "Master Yang, what are you polite to me?" ”

"The courtesy of a monarch and a minister cannot be abolished." Yang Xiong replied with a smile.

When the two were talking, He Shen gave Yang Xiong a seat with a very good eye, filled it with tea, Yang Xiong turned his head to thank him, He Shen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lord Yang, this is the honor of the old slave." ”

Yang Xiong sighed and said: "Da Changqiu, you have been loyal to Your Majesty for so many years, but what is wrong with your He family, you have to do the dirty work of Jinyiwei, so let's do it, do you still have school-age children in your family, the old man will help you and give your descendants a good way out." ”

Hearing Yang Xiong's words, He Shen was stunned for a moment and didn't react, Li Jun scolded with a smile on the side: "Da Changqiu, don't hurry up and thank Master Yang, now Chang'an doesn't know how many people are waiting to worship under Master Yang, and they can't get it?" ”

He Shen reacted, knelt on the ground in surprise and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Lord Yang, the nephew of the old slave, He Cao, is smart and studious, and he will not let Lord Yang down." ”

Yang Xiong nodded and said, "In that case, you can send him to the old man's mansion in September." ”

"Yes."

He Shen happily retreated, and Li Jun arched his hand to Yang Xiong and said, "Since Master Yang is interested in accepting apprentices, I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can enter the eyes of your old man's law?" ”

"Due to the king's order, the minister does not dare to resign, but the old minister is too old, for the sake of the future, His Majesty still thinks about the future candidate in advance."

"Oh, then Master Yang thinks that it is more suitable for this prince and prince in the future?" Li Jun asked curiously.

Yang Xiong shook his head and said: "Before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ten years old, it can be handed over to the old man and Xiao Wangzhi, and our two old guys are estimated to be able to support the prince to complete this part of the road. ”

"What do you mean by Master Yang?" Li Jun asked puzzled.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks so, the royal family is the pillar of the world, but the royal family is born in the palace, grown up in the hands of women, and does not know that the people's livelihood is hard, and there will be big problems sooner or later, so the old minister suggests that in the future, the people of the royal family should go to school and live the same as the children of ordinary people, and even enter the army to hone their skills."

After hearing this, Li Jun immediately nodded and said: "Master Yang's thoughts coincide with me, in fact, what I am worried about is this, even if I lay down the country, it is useless if my descendants are not filial." ”

"Your Majesty is wise, and the old minister admires it."

Li Jun waved his hand and said, "Okay, Master Yang, let's be polite when we are together, so let's talk about this matter later, I came to you today for something else." "Your Majesty has something to do, but please command." Yang Xiong arched his hand and said.

Li Jun sighed and said: "I don't know what the people think now, the last time I captured Yuyang Pass, there were not many enemies killed, and the scene of everyone singing and dancing is still vivid, but this time the Tang soldiers annihilated 100,000 enemies, which is an unprecedented victory, but the entire capital is calm like a pool of stagnant water." ”

Yang Xiong laughed and said, "Your Majesty, without it, get used to it." ”

"Master Yang, don't get me wrong, I don't blame everyone, I feel that if I want to divert the attention of the people at this time, it is not enough to rely on newspapers, so I came to Master Yang today to ask Master Yang to compile a book like "The Legend of the Heroes of the Tang Dynasty", this kind of book is easy to understand, just in the vernacular, and then I heard that there are many teahouses in the capital now, so find someone to go to the teahouse to read to the people, so that everyone can drink tea and listen to books at the same time, how good, and subtly, the image of these heroes can be engraved into everyone's hearts."

"Your Majesty's clever plan, the old minister admires."

"Haha, Master Yang has won the award, by the way, I don't know who Master Yang is going to give this book to edit?" Li Jun asked with a smile.

Yang Xiong pointed to himself and said, "The old minister will personally edit it, please rest assured, Your Majesty." ”

"Ah, Master Yang would still write this?" Li Jun asked in disbelief.

Yang Xiong touched his beard and said, "Your Majesty, have you read the book "Golden Dogwood", and you can't hide it, that book is the old man's game." ”

When Li Jun heard this, the teacup in his hand suddenly didn't hold it steady, and it fell, the book "Golden Dogwood" is a forbidden book, and the content in it is similar to the "Golden Bottle Plum" in later generations, and this is also a must-read book for every young man in the Tang Dynasty on the way to growth, and the effect is like that of Teacher Cang in later generations.

Li Jun gave Yang Xiong a thumbs up and said, "Master Yang, your old man is really hidden." ”

"Your Majesty has won the prize." Yang Xiong said unashamedly.

The two chatted a few words, Yang Xiong left, and after Yang Xiong left, Li Jun immediately issued an order to crown Yang Xiong as the crown prince and concubine, the marquis of Lantian, and eat 2,000 households.

This holy purpose has caused an uproar among the hundreds of sons, and the Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to military merits, so it is generally difficult for Wenchen to get this kind of thing, unless there are two generations of emperors like Xiao Wangzhi, who are still prime ministers, and have great contributions to the country.

Now that His Majesty has finally let go of a constraint on the literati, but the discerning people can also see that Yang Xiong's position as a marquis is not hereditary, so if Yang Xiong wants to go further, he needs to continue to make meritorious contributions.

In fact, this is also a plan for Li Jun to prepare to reform the marquis, the third generation of the gentleman Ze and beheaded, some marquis have already been the seventh or eighth generation, no matter how filial the descendants are, they can also lie on the merits of the ancestors and eat the old bottom, in the long run, there will be more and more moths.
