On the night of August 28, the 40th year of Zhengde.

The weather after the Mid-Autumn Festival is still sweltering, but there will be a slight chill in the morning and evening in the mountains.

At the foot of Huangzhu Mountain, the palace of the Tang Dynasty was brightly lit, and the light from the torches illuminated the entire hall, so that the 'huge' hall with a width of two zhang was as bright as day.

Li Xuan sat on the wooden chair at the top wearing a washed and somewhat whitish yellow dragon robe, and the wooden chair still exuded the smell of logs, and the dragon patterns carved on it were lifelike.

Below is a group of important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, including Prime Minister Liu Bagou, Yuwei General Chen Butcher, Hussar General Bai Yunqi, Che Cavalry General Fang Dongquan, Zuo Prime Minister Qian Mengjiu, Guards General Wang Danxu, etc.

From the point of view of the official system, you can know the nondescript nature of this Tang Dynasty, as long as it is a general, it is a general, as long as it is a civil official, it is a prime minister.

Except for the general and the prime minister, there were no other civil and military officials.

Although the nondescript official system doesn't look very comfortable, Li Xuan has no intention of changing, because there are only a few people in total, and whatever name they say, no one cares about them anyway.

Even Wang Wenhua, a former captive who later cried and shouted to take refuge in Li Xuan, the son of the Holy Tomorrow, was also made a right prime minister by Li Xuan.

The reason for making him prime minister is very, very simple, not because of how loyal and reliable he is, but because he is a scholar and can read and write.

Among the hundreds of people in the huge Huangzhu Mountain, in addition to Li Xuan himself, there are only three left, Liu Bagou, Qian Mengjiu, and Wang Wenhua, among whom Qian Mengjiu is still a half-hanger.

And if you really want to talk about Wencai, in fact, Wang Wenhua, who looks sneaky, is better than Liu Bagou.

The establishment of a political regime, even if it is a humble regime, must have a few readers, at least someone who can write and read official documents!

No, Wang Wenhua wrote an article about the water dragon village, which is extremely gorgeous. , Ordinary people absolutely can't understand it, this article says that the water dragon village rebelled and made a rebellion, and now the king is crusading, it is the will of heaven and the people's hearts.

In short, the bad flowing water of the Water Dragon Village, the light of Huangzhu Mountain is great, and this crusade against the Water Dragon Village is the destiny of heaven.

As soon as this article came out, Liu Bagou was stunned for a long time, and he greatly appreciated Wang Wenhua's outstanding literary talent.

As for Fang Dongquan and Butcher Chen, they are all illiterate, so naturally they can't understand it, let alone they can't understand it, when Wang Wenhua read it out, they were also embarrassed, because they couldn't understand it!

After Wang Wenhua finished reading the text, Li Xuan nodded: "Hard work right prime minister, this text has the rhyme of King Luo Bin's courting the Wu family!" ”

Wang Wenhua looked at Qian Mengjiu and the others with a smug expression, and then said: "The ministers are ugly, they never dare to compare with King Luo Bin!" ”

Li Xuan didn't care about him, this person had been in Huangzhushan for more than a month.

From the very beginning, Li Xuan could see that although this Wang Wenhua was not a joke like Liu Bagou, he was not a normal good person, Li Xuan kicked him, and he could smile and say that His Majesty played very well.

This kind of person either has masochism or evil intentions, anyway, Li Xuan will not think that he is impressed by his image of the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch.

However, Li Xuan can not be too lazy to care what his real thoughts are, anyway, there is a lack of literati in Huangzhu Mountain, so he will use one if he catches one, who cares what his real thoughts are.

If you are disobedient, you will be slashed with a knife!

Wang Wenhua's many performances also made Qian Mengjiu and Chen Butcher very unhappy, the former thought that he wanted to take away his name as the second civil official in the Tang Dynasty, while the latter simply hated Wang Wenhua's pug-like character.

"Now that the army has been arranged, everyone will go back and have a good rest, and we will set off early tomorrow morning!" When Li Xuan said this, he was ready to disperse this court discussion.

However, at this time, Liu Bagou said: "Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty will think twice about the matter of the imperial conquest, this crusade against Shuilong Village, with General Chen and General Wang here, it will definitely be smooth sailing, Your Majesty might as well wait for the good news!" ”

Li Xuan shook his head: "I have made up my mind, Aiqing don't say it anymore!" ”

This crusade against Shuilongzhai is not only related to the food crisis in Huangzhushan, but also the first actual battle of the Guards.

The Guards were trained by his own hands, and all the training was carried out according to his vision, and the methods of combat were also conceived by him with reference to the armies of later generations.

It is very different from the army of today, let alone on a par with other bandits.

He was really afraid that Butcher Chen would use the Guards as ordinary bandits.

So this time, he plans to command it personally, no matter how much he doesn't understand military affairs, he is much stronger than this group of bandits in Huangzhushan, but he has also watched a lot of war movies and television dramas, novels and the like.

Moreover, the hundred people mobilized this time are already all the capable young people that Huangzhushan can mobilize, Li Xuan doesn't want to see another big defeat, in that case, the entire Huangzhushan will face the disaster of overturning.

He couldn't rest assured that others, so naturally he could only go into battle in person.

After everyone dispersed, Li Xuan returned to the back room and saw that Dong Yunyun had not slept yet, but was doing needlework with Zhu'er under the oil lamp.

Seeing Li Xuan coming in, Zhu'er stood up first: "Your Majesty, you're back!" ”

Hearing Zhu'er call himself the emperor, Li Xuan was a little strange, this Zhu'er had always called herself a son before, why did he change his words today.

Perhaps seeing Li Xuan's curiosity, Dong Yunyun spoke: "Your Majesty, it was the concubine who asked her to change her words, so that those people don't chew their tongues all the time!" ”

Li Xuan didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, he also knew that Liu Bagou and others had never called Dong Yunyun and Zhu'er Li Xuan emperor, Your Majesty, but were very dissatisfied with the title of Li Gongzi, and those old mothers would talk about this problem to Zhu'er in three days.

Originally, Li Xuan didn't care but supported Dong Yunyun and Zhu'er to keep it, but today he suddenly heard Dong Yunyun's change of words, which made him a little uncomfortable for a while.

In the past, Dong Yunyun called him so that he could still remember that he was just a child's play of the emperor of the ravine, but now Dong Yunyun has changed his name to call him the emperor.

If he continued like this, Li Xuan was afraid that he would be completely lost in this ravine emperor game.

Sighing, he waved his hand: "It's not too early, you should rest early!" ”

As he spoke, he walked into the back room.

After Dong Yunyun and Zhu'er watched Li Xuan enter, they glanced at each other, and they both saw puzzlement in each other's eyes: What is he sighing!

It's not just them who call him the emperor, more than 500 people up and down Huangzhu Mountain call him that!

Putting down the needle and thread, Dong Yunyun said: "Let's sleep too!" ”

Li Xuan's place is divided into front and back compartments, the inner room is Li Xuan and Dong Yunyun's room, and the outside is where Zhu'er sleeps.

It's just that Li Xuan hasn't given Dong Yunyun anything in the past two months, it's not realistic for the two to sleep in the same bed, and Li Xuan can't be wronged to sleep on the floor every day, so except for the first few days, Li Xuan slept in the inner bed by himself in the back, and Dong Yunyun slept in the outer compartment with Zhu'er.

Li Xuan and Dong Yunyun didn't sleep separately without Yuanfang, which was also a secret for the three of them, and even Madame Bai didn't know about it.

It's just that Li Xuan knows that this situation is unlikely to last too long!

I can't leave here, and Dong Yunyun can't leave here either, the two of them seem to be lonely men and widows trapped on an isolated island, and sooner or later they will have to sleep together.

Not because of love, but for mutual warmth!
