Li Jianguo hurriedly returned to the house, and Fang Xuanling's wife saw that Li Jianguo was back, and she also greeted him with a smile.

"Kid, you've been busy these days, but you have to pay attention to your body."

Li Jianguo's heart warmed slightly, and he replied with a smile: "Mother don't worry, the child will pay attention." Now that the child has a heavy responsibility, he is naturally busy. ”

"Alas, I knew that I shouldn't have asked your stepfather to recommend you to the emperor in the first place. Now that you are so busy every day, my mother is really worried that your body will be exhausted. Fang Xuanling's wife said with some resentment.

"The mother doesn't have to worry, the child will take care of herself." Li Jianguo shook his head and continued: "By the way, mother, where is my father?" ”

Mrs. Fang looked at the inner hall and said, "Your father-in-law, like you, is also very busy, and since he came back from the emperor, he has never come out of the study. ”

"Then I'll take a look." After Li Jianguo finished speaking, he walked towards the inner hall.

In the study, Fang Xuanling was thinking about things, and when he heard movement outside, he said without raising his head: "Madam, didn't I say it, I have something to deal with, don't bother me if there's nothing to do." ”

"Father, it's me." Li Jianguo laughed and said.

Fang Xuanling raised his head and saw that it was Li Jianguo, and his worried face was swept away, "Jianguo, it's you, what's going on with Xiao Yu?" ”

"Father rest assured, it has been dealt with, and Lord Xiao Yu has agreed to all the requests. And I also chatted with Xiao Yu for a while, and I was very happy. Li Jianguo told Fang Xuanling about the incident in the Xiao Mansion, and Fang Xuanling also nodded with satisfaction after hearing it.

"Okay, you have done a good job in this matter, it is really good to be able to turn Xiao Yu into a jade silk. It's just that I didn't expect that the things that Xiao Yu did were true, it seems that Xiao Yu is also a good official, but the practice is inappropriate. Fang Xuanling sighed, thought of something again, and said, "By the way, have you told the emperor about this matter?" ”

Li Jianguo shook his head, "No, if you tell the emperor, I'm afraid that the emperor will not be happy." Besides, Xiao Yu himself said that he didn't want the emperor to know about it, so I had to help him hide it from the emperor. ”

"Well, that's fine, let's let this matter pass, anyway, Xiao Yu's guy doesn't have any opinions. In the future, Xiao Yu, the old guy, can rest well, and he no longer has to worry about the affairs of the court, which is really enviable. Fang Xuanling sighed and said.

"Father, what are you busy with?" Li Jianguo changed the topic and asked.

"Didn't you mention to the emperor before that you want to set up a patrol force in Chang'an City. I just discussed with Du Ruhui with the emperor for a long time, but I didn't discuss a result, so I had to come back and continue to think of a way. Fang Xuanling said lightly.

Li Jianguo covered his mouth and snickered, "Father, I have already thought of a way to this matter, and I have already told the emperor." The emperor is also very satisfied with my idea, and is ready to announce it tomorrow morning. ”

Li Jianguo told Fang Xuanling about his idea and Li Shimin's decision. Fang Xuanling was overjoyed when he heard this, "You kid is really amazing, I have discussed with Du Ruhui for a long time and I haven't come up with an idea that satisfies the emperor, and I have made you show off again." ”

Li Jianguo was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer Fang Xuanling, so he could only smile.

Fang Xuanling was also amused when he saw Li Jianguo's appearance, and stopped teasing him, changed the topic, and said: "Your idea is really good, I think there should be no ministers to oppose it tomorrow morning." It's just that I didn't expect the emperor to put Qin Qiong in charge of this army. ”

"Father, does the emperor trust General Qin very much? Why did I never see General Qin in the early days? In this regard, Li Jianguo was also very surprised. According to historical records, Li Shimin was convinced of the Wagang faction, and because of the large number of generals of the Wagang faction, he accompanied Li Shimin to fight in the east and west, all of which made great contributions.

"First, General Qin Qiongqin is a military general, and the emperor specially allowed him not to go to court. Second, General Qin did not like the affairs of the DPRK and China, but only specialized in martial arts. General Qin belonged to the original Wagang faction, and only Cheng Zhijie and Li Ji were the generals of Wagang who participated in politics in the DPRK now, while Wei Chigong and General Qin were at home all the year round and rarely participated in politics in the DPRK. Fang Xuanling patiently explained to Li Jianguo, and continued: "Moreover, General Qin has also followed Gaozu since Gaozu started his army and fought the world for Emperor Gaozu. Before the emperor ascended the throne, he followed the emperor to conquer the east and west, and made great contributions, and then assisted the emperor to ascend the throne smoothly, so the emperor trusted him very much. Moreover, General Qin's martial arts are extraordinary, and he once took the head of the enemy general from the ten thousand armies, and he was greatly admired by the court. ”

Li Jianguo nodded, "I also know more or less about General Qin's deeds, and I have always wanted to meet this Tang Dynasty hero!" ”

"Tomorrow morning, you will get what you want. Okay, now that the matter has been settled, and I don't have a headache, let's go out and find your mother, or she'll lose her temper with me. After speaking, Fang Xuanling got up and walked out. Li Jianguo also secretly laughed, the history books recorded that Fang Xuanling was afraid of his wife, but it was true.

The next day, in the Taiji Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the new law has been successfully implemented, and the people have applauded, and this matter can be regarded as a complete merit. However, I was worried that the new law would not be implemented enough and that there would be no one to restrain the people, so I decided to set up an army in Chang'an City and ordered it to be a patrol battalion to be responsible for the security and defense of Chang'an City. Li Shimin announced the establishment of a patrol battalion in front of the civil and military officials, and the civil and military officials also nodded one after another, and had no objection to this suggestion.

Li Shimin continued: "Since all the ministers have no objections, then this matter is decided. But since it is an army, there must naturally be someone to lead this army, I want to appoint General Qin Qiongqin as the commander of the patrol battalion, what do you think? ”

"Your Majesty, General Qin's martial arts are excellent and he is an upright person, and the minister thinks that General Qin is perfect for this position." It was Fang Xuanling who spoke, and it seemed that Fang Xuanling also admired Qin Qiong.

At this time, Wei Zheng walked out and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Fang is right, General Qin is indeed a suitable candidate, and the minister seconded it." ”

When the other ministers saw these two, they all expressed their approval, and they all echoed and expressed their approval of Qin Qiong's holding of this position.

"What the two Aiqing said is the same as what I mean, since this is the case, then the matter is so decided. Someone came, General Xuan Qin Qiongqin went to the palace. Li Shimin said.

Li Jianguo also looked outside the hall at this time, waiting for Qin Qiong to appear, wanting to witness Qin Shubao's demeanor with his own eyes.
