Yesterday afternoon, Yi Woo and Yi Daozong asked for a meeting with Li Shimin, and suggested that 30,000 men be transferred from the new Goguryeo army, and 10,000 people each from Baekje and Silla should be transferred to Kyushu Island to participate in the war against the Japanese slaves.

This not only met the military needs of the Takahashi family, but also solved the problem of the placement of 30,000 Goguryeo prisoners of war.

Li Shimin agreed to their suggestion.

In order to manage these armies in a unified manner, Li Shimin decided to appoint Niu Jinda, a general of the Tang Army, as the governor of the Dongying Islands, to unify the command of the Tang Army's army and servant ** team on Kyushu Island, and to unify the command of the Tang Army Navy on Kyushu Island.

After Takahashi Taro came, Li You announced Li Shimin's decision to him, and Takahashi Taro and the others were overjoyed, feeling that it was too cost-effective to send a Takahashi Masamiko.

There was also good news, Li Shimin agreed to distribute a radio station to Niu Jinda and Takahashi Taro each, so as to facilitate communication between them and with the Tang court.

There is also the fact that Li Shimin decided to arrange a meeting with Taro Takahashi and others before they left.

Next, Zhang Guigui accompanied Taro Taro Takahashi and others to check the materials, inspect the new army of Goguryeo, and get in touch with Niu Jinda.

In mid-February, Taro Takahashi and others were about to return to Kyushu Island, and they entrusted Li You to bid farewell to Li Shimin.

Li You took Takahashi Kumiko to meet Li Shimin together.

In Li Shimin's study, Takahashi Kumiko said: "Father, the elder brother Takahashi Taro of the son-in-law is returning to Kyushu Island, and he entrusts the son-in-law to resign to you. ”

"Oh, let him say hello to your father on my behalf when I get back." Li Shimin said.

Takahashi Kumiko said, "Thank you, Father." Your sons will surely convey your greetings to your father's father. ”

Li Shimin asked, "What, do you want to go back together?" ”

Takahashi Kumiko said: "Yes, the son wants to stay with his father for the time being, help him fulfill his wish for revenge, and ask his father for permission." ”

"Lan'er is coming with you?" Li Shimin asked.

"The child is still young, so let her take it." Li You said.

"Okay, you can discuss these things yourself." Li Shimin said.

"Yes, Father." Li You and Kumiko Takahashi said together.

"Your affairs, I have sent a telegram to Chang'an, and your mother and concubine are happy about your affairs. Your queen mother specially said that you have worked hard at the border all these years, and I hope I will reward you, and I want to give you a marriage while you and Jiumiko are here. Li Shimin said.

"Thank you, father, thank you, queen mother." Li You is really happy, this blessing from Li Shimin and Empress Changsun makes his heart very warm.

Kumiko Takahashi was even happier. Her marriage to Li You is very embarrassing, and she has always been worried that she will be criticized by others for living with Li You in the future. With the blessings of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, all problems were solved.

Takahashi Kumiko cried with joy, she knelt on the ground, and said sincerely: "My son thanks my father and mother for their love." ”

When Li You saw Kumiko Takahashi like this, he also knelt down and thanked Li Shimin and Empress Changsun for their gifts.

Li Shimin was even happier to see that Li You, especially Kumiko Takahashi, attached so much importance to his blessings to them. He said, "Good, good. This will be done right away. It just so happens that they are all here, so let them help with it. ”

Li Shimin immediately came to Li Lizhi and told her what he meant.

Li Lizhi said happily: "Okay, father." The fifth brother's matter will be handed over to Erchen, and Erchen will ensure that it will be done beautifully. ”

Li You said: "Now that the front line is fighting, Erchen suggested that it should be done in a small area, and not to make too much movement." ”

Li Shimin said: "It doesn't matter, the current war in Goguryeo is basically decided. Life on the front line is boring, and organizing your happy events can also boost morale. ”

"Then thank you, Father." Li You said.

Then, Li You said: "Father, the son still has a reluctance. Zhang Guigui and Jiumiko's sister Yamiko have also set up a marriage, can you also give them a marriage? ”

"Oh, there's something else going on." Li Shimin asked with great interest.

Kumiko Takahashi briefly introduced the matter between Zhang Guigui and Masamiko.

Li Shimin said: "Well, Zhang Liang's son has performed well over the years. All right! Good things come in pairs, so let's marry them together. ”

"Thank you, Father." Li You and Kumiko Takahashi thanked Li Shimin together.

After Li You and the others came out, Kumiko Takahashi was about to tell Masamiko Takahashi the good news, but was stopped by Li You. He suggested that Zhang Guigui should first tell the news and let Zhang Guigui tell Masako Takahashi.

In the guest house, Kumiko Takahashi is alone in a daze.

Takahashi Taro and Takahashi Kumiko suddenly offered to let her marry Zhang Guigui, which made her feel very complicated. Although she and Zhang Guigui get along very well, she has never thought about marriage.

Originally, when her father was going to marry herself to the Tanaka family on Shikoku Island, she secretly sent someone to inquire about her future husband. It is said that he is a very good handsome young man, and her heart is full of expectations.

Takahashi Taro and Takahashi Kumiko have already made it clear to her the stakes, and she also knows that her marriage to Zhang Guigui is irrevocable. And regardless of status, the son of the Tanaka family is not the same as Zhang Guigui.

However, the sudden change made it difficult for her to adapt for a while. She had some troubles in her heart, more grievances, and she felt that she was just a tool used by the family to marry. Therefore, in the past few days, she has inevitably been a little depressed.

At this time, Zhang Guigui came to visit.

Zhang Guigui will visit Masamiko Takahashi every day these days, bringing her all the gifts she can find on the front line, and coaxing her as happy as possible.

As soon as Zhang Guigui entered the door, he said happily: "Masamiko, I will give you a special gift today." ”

Masamiko Takahashi was really a little uninterested. However, she is a smart woman who knows the general situation, and she is unwilling to let Zhang Guigui ruin her fun. She forced a smile and asked, "What gift?" ”

Zhang Guigui said proudly: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wants to personally marry the two of us, this is a great honor!" In the entire Tang Dynasty, very few people can enjoy such an honor. ”

This news also shocked Masmiko Takahashi. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty had an extremely noble status, and he was able to personally marry Zhang Guigui, a non-royal child, which shows Zhang Guigui's important position in the Tang Dynasty.

Masako Takahashi is a relatively simple girl with a cheerful temperament. The marriage between her and Zhang Guigui is already an unchangeable fact, so she simply accepted this fact, and she began to look forward to her future married life.

During dinner, Kumiko Takahashi came to the guest house and told Masako Takahashi that the two sisters would hold a wedding together and accept the marriage gift from His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

The sisters were talking and laughing, full of longing for the upcoming wedding.

At the beginning of March, Li You arranged things in Goguryeo, bid farewell to Li Shimin, and set out with Zhang Guigui with 20,000 new Goguryeo troops on the road to Northwest Province. Masamiko Takahashi followed Zhang Guigui to the Northwest Road.

When he arrived in Jizhou, Li You broke up with Zhang Guigui, and he returned to Chang'an alone, Zhang Guigui took the Flying Tiger Army and the Goguryeo New Army, crossed the Taihang Mountains through Jingcheng Pass, and went directly to the Northwest Road through Jinyang, Xinzhou, and Shanzhou.

In late April, Li You finally returned to Chang'an.

Northwest Palace.

The original Qi Palace, after Li You was canonized as the Northwest Palace, has been renamed the Northwest Palace.

Li You was very low-key, quietly returned to Chang'an, stayed with Xiao Wanyu for a night, and then called Yin Guanghao to ask about the situation in Chang'an.

Yin Guanghao's face was gloomy and he told Li You a bad news.
