Lai Hu'er, Chen Qi, Zhu Suiliang, Wen Boyan and others entered the palace hall with good news, knowing that at this hour, His Majesty had not yet come to the court, so he did not enter the hall, but along the road paved with white marble in front of the palace, bypassed the main hall, and came to the gate of the harem wall.

Through this gate, inside is His Majesty's dormitory, as well as the harem residence, and foreign officials are not allowed to summon them, and they are not allowed to enter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the early dynasty time has not come, why are you here?" An Ouchi commander on duty stopped these important ministers.

"In the Ministry of Soldiers, Shangshu came to protect his son, this is Chen Qi, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, I will wait to get the good news from Jinyang, and I want to meet Your Majesty immediately, report to Your Majesty, and ask this commander to go in and pass it on."

The commander of the Ouchi was dressed in armor, mighty and awe-inspiring, and his eyes swept over these people, like Laihu'er, Chen Qi and others, he knew him, he had been on duty before, and he had seen these ministers enter the palace to face the saints, and they were all ministers trusted by His Majesty, so he didn't dare to make things difficult, and hugged his fists and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, wait a minute, Lin will go and tell Your Majesty." ”

"Commander Lin, please!"

After Lin Qing gave his hand, he turned around and entered the palace to proclaim, without His Majesty's dictation, no one could let the foreign ministers enter the palace.

At this time, Luo Zhaoyun was in the palace of the eldest grandson, and the queen personally wore a dragon robe for him, and was invited by the ministers of Lin Qing, the commander of the Great Interior, and smiled at the eldest grandson: "The good news from Jinyang has arrived, and it is estimated that it will be lively today." ”

"Your Majesty's merits are getting bigger and bigger, and their loyalty to the king is bound to be stronger." Empress Eldest Sun chuckled softly.

Luo Zhaoyun nodded, thought of something, and said: "The Xiuning girl of the Li family has been under house arrest for more than a year, and I have promised to pardon her and her family's life and freedom. ”

"Do you want to be in the palace?" The eldest grandson asked with a smile.

Luo Zhaoyun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, her two brothers and one fiancé all died because of me, the country was ruined, and when I saw her, I still owe a little bit, let her go free, let her go out of the palace when the time comes, everything is as fate would be." ”

"Understood."

"In addition, I plan to lead the army north tomorrow, and the royal driver is personally recruited, and that Concubine Dou also walks around often, let her blend in, don't have a part."

Empress Changsun said gently: "Although Your Majesty can go out with peace of mind, the affairs in the palace and the concubine will be handled properly." ”

"Well, with you taking care of it, I can rest assured." Luo Zhaoyun nodded, finished dressing, walked out of Fengluan Palace, went to Liangyi Gate, and when he got out of the palace gate, he could see a row of ministers standing at the gate of the palace in the front hall at the long wall corridor.

When Luo Zhaoyun approached, a row of ministers bowed down and shouted: "See Your Majesty, great joy has come." ”

"Where's the joy?" Luo Zhaoyun smiled faintly and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, Jinyang City is broken, Li Tang is fallen, this is a great victory!" Laihu'er shouted loudly to vent the depression accumulated in his heart.

"God bless my Dahua Dynasty, north of the Yellow River, all unified, Li Yuan surrendered, has been taken into custody!" Chen Qi also felt very happy in his chest.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" Zhu Suiliang, Wen Boyan and others also chimed in.

Although Luo Zhaoyun has known the news for a long time, it is not appropriate to show it for the time being, otherwise the emperor has a special organization and cannot be exposed, which is a great threat and deterrent to the ministers, and it is an informal means that it cannot be shown in front of people.

"Oh, yes, that's great, capture Jinyang, Li Tang is destroyed, Xu Shi's first achievement, the front-line generals have merit, according to the merit book reported up, the merit will be rewarded. In addition, the Ministry of War and the Privy Council have all made meritorious contributions, and they have come to report the victory as soon as possible, and I am very pleased, and they are all rewarded. Luo Zhaoyun pretended to know and praised him in an orderly manner.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone's faces showed joy and felt that the trip was worthwhile.

"The court meeting is about to start, all of you will return to the main hall for the time being, and I will sort out the appearance of the monarch, and then I will ascend to the court."

"The ministers are leaving." Lai Hu'er and the others retreated, the good news has been played, and they have been praised by the king, it's time to return to the main hall and announce the news, it's time to show off, it's time to slap the face.

"Gao Shilian, that old bastard, is he here?" Lai Hu'er muttered in his mouth, and as soon as he walked to the door of the Qinzheng Palace, he saw Gao Shilian, the secretary of the household department, standing at the forefront of the hall, talking and laughing with several scholars of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites.

Laihu'er strode over and walked over quickly, and came to the three Shangshu.

"Hey, isn't this an adult, I'm in such a hurry, won't it be where the beacon fire is in a hurry, where is the shortage of military salaries and food, let me tell you, my household is really in short supply, and the few granaries left over from the previous dynasty seem to be a lot, but when they are put into the Civil War, they also have to relieve the victims in various places, and there are more monks and less porridge, so it can't be easily allowed." Gao Shilian sneered with a bit of contempt and deliberately squeezed.

"Gao Shilian, tell you, today I came to protect the grain and grass is really not rare, the north is not needed, Jinyang has been the front-line general of our military department, conquered Jinyang in advance, Li Tang perished, collected gold, silver jewelry, grain and grass war horses are counted, counted and stored, ready to be transported back to Chang'an City, such a great achievement, so many trophies, are captured by the generals of our military department, surnamed Gao, listen up, these trophies have entered the treasury, give my military department a good safekeeping, in the future, we need military salaries, can not be taken out."

Gao Shilian was stunned, chewed on the meaning of his words, and said in surprise: "Jinyang is broken, Li Tang is dead, what about Li Yuan's father and son?" ”

"The death of the dead, the surrender of the surrender, Li Yuan finally opened the palace city and begged to surrender."

When the surrounding ministers heard the news, they were all stunned, and then they talked about it, and even boiled.

"God bless Dahua!"

"Li Tang was destroyed, and the north was all unified."

"Half of the Central Plains has returned to the territory of Dahua."

The civil ministers and military generals in the hall were all discussing and emotional, and they felt closer to Dahua's hope for unifying the world.

After a while, the ministers arrived, and the time for the early dynasty also arrived.

"Your Majesty has arrived, and all the officials are welcome."

"Long live my emperor, long live!" The ministers chanted and bowed down to greet them.

Luo Zhaoyun sat on the golden dragon chair and asked the ministers to be exempt from courtesy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you have all just learned that the front-line soldiers conquered Jinyang and the good news of Li Tang's downfall, Xu Shiji has made the first contribution, and the other generals will be sorted out by the military department, and they will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and they should be promoted, so they don't have to be stingy, and they can't let the front-line soldiers chill." Luo Zhaoyun said it straight to the point.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Laihu'er stood up and thanked him.

"Li Yuan was surrendered, the third son was captured, the second son was killed in the breakout, and some concubines and new children in the palace were captured, how to deal with these people, I don't know what your family thinks?"

"Your Majesty, I once thought that this Li Tang was stubborn and stubborn, fighting for Jinyang, causing the people in the city to not survive three, which is really hateful, and he should be killed to respect the people of Hedong."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister thought that Li Yuan was surrendered, returned to Dahua, and could not kill those who surrendered, so it was in the name of His Majesty's benevolence and righteousness, especially if the south was not unified, he should leave Li Yuan and his family, retire in Chang'an, grant a fictitious title, and reform the southern rebels, and surrender to the city as soon as possible.

"It makes sense, the minister seconded the words of Lord Xin of the Ministry of Rites."

"The minister thinks that what the eldest grandson said is reasonable, Li Yuan can't be killed, but he can't be reused, and he can be placed under house arrest in the capital......"

The ministers had different views and expressed their opinions, but some people were figuring out the holy will and getting closer and closer to Luo Zhaoyun's decision.
