Changan.

Before the morning drum sounded, the sound of thunderous horses galloping sounded in the Taiji Palace.

The bow was full of strings, and hundreds of feathered arrows pierced the night sky of dawn in unison, with the sound of whining wind, shooting at the arrow target in the direction of the rising sun, making a neat, loud sound, and there was no noise at all.

"Good!"

With a loud shout, a young man in a yellow robe rushed out of the crowd, with a curly-haired sweaty and bloody horse in his crotch, holding a big bow more than one person high, facing a row of arrow targets that everyone had just shot, his right hand was like a phantom, swishing and constantly firing nine arrows in a row, and the arrows were like thunderbolts and lightning.

The sun has risen.

"Saint Divine Arrow!" "Saint Divine Arrow!"

The young man was obviously in a good mood, and said, "Today is a good wait, and each of you will be rewarded with a horse of Ayaluo." ”

This young man is none other than the saint of the dynasty, Li Shimin, whom historians call the first emperor of the ages.

Every day before dawn, Li Shimin will get up and leave the gentle township of the harem, and come to the Xiande Hall to train the soldiers, this is an ambitious emperor, it seems that he is the only emperor who has personally trained the soldiers in the palace for thousands of years, and this is the only one, which shows the mind and spirit of the emperor through the ages.

This is also the reason why he has never worried about Li Jing and others having any bad intentions, the first general of the Tang Dynasty has always been him, these soldiers who were personally trained by him, once there is a big war, they are also a regimental training captain, and their loyalty to him is high, so even if Li Jing and Li Tao and others have made great achievements in destroying the country several times, they have never been high.

After shooting the arrow, Li Shimin was in a good mood, and the eunuch on the side hurriedly put on a robe and said, "Everyone, it's time to go to court." ”

Li Shimin walked to a palace maid with a copper basin and reached in to wash his face, went to the heat of the heat, and dragged a silk scarf to wipe it on his face, and threw it into the arms of the eunuch, walking slowly towards the Taiji Hall with the sound of morning drums that woke up the people of Chang'an in the morning.

Behind him, the rising sun stretched his shadow very long, and his resolute face seemed to be dyed with a little golden light.

Seriously, in the past two years, Li Shimin, the emperor, has been the emperor in one word, that is, life is better than death.

Get up before dawn in the morning to practice with the soldiers, and go to the court at dawn, because the workload of the center of the catastrophe is very large, it would be good to be able to disperse at noon, and at noon I have to have a small meeting with the prime ministers while eating, and when the meeting is over, I have to review the folds, and when everything is over, he doesn't even have time for the root queen XXOO, because tomorrow I have to get up early to train the troops.

There is really no way to do this, this emperor has been in office for more than a year, and he has not stopped for a day, first the Turks came to bully, and then God did not rain, and the common people lived a worse life than in the Sui Dynasty, so that they had nightmares every night when they went to sleep, and when they were awake, they were also extraordinarily diligent and conscientious, for fear that he would accidentally become Yang Guang's second.

To some extent, this is how Zhenguan Shengshi was forced.

In the main hall, the civil and military officials were noisy again, obviously they were all important ministers of the state, and the rhetoric of scolding the street was sometimes much more vulgar than the aunt who bought vegetables in the market, which also made Li Shimin's temples ache, but he was also used to it.

First, everyone in the founding of the country and the world is from a rough background, and secondly, these are Li Shimin's robes that live and die together, and he is not easy to put on a show.

But the most critical reason is poverty.

It was just founded, and he didn't have any family background, and the gold leaf in the treasury was also given to Jieli Khan, and then caught up with such a catastrophe, what was special was that the house leak happened to rain overnight.

Because of poverty, the contradiction between the military generals is extremely acute, especially after the destruction of Liang Shidu, there is finally a bit of capture, the generals advocate for military training, and the civil ministers advocate disaster relief, anyway, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the generals generally say that the civil officials can't say that the civil officials, and in the end it's either Cheng Biting Jin or Wei Chi, there is always one who can't help but scold the mother first, and then it becomes like this.

It's like this every time, Li Shimin can't stop at all if he doesn't stand up and slap the table and scold his mother, and sometimes he wonders why he is trying so hard to grab this throne.

God actually left a glimmer of life for the Tang Dynasty, the natural disasters here, but the disaster on the Eastern Turk side is actually more serious, so it is a great opportunity for the Tang Dynasty to actively prepare for the war, the monarchs and ministers are holding back a lot of energy, Li Shimin regards the shame of Weishui as a great shame, and he is an emperor immediately, so the balance in his heart is actually quite inclined to the military, and the capture of Liang Shidu is actually not too much, but he can also build another horse farm.

Everyone is so familiar, who doesn't know anyone, Fang Xuanling took advantage of Li Shimin's lack of words, and hurriedly stood up and said, "The minister has something to play." ”

"Speak."

"I heard that among the victims of the Luo-Yang disaster, there are now two leaders, one big and one small, the big one is called Xu Jie, who is a regimental training envoy of Zuo Xiaowei, and the small one is called Qin Hao, but he is a storyteller, and his identity is still being checked."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't sit still, and hurriedly asked: "How large, and what is the prestige of the two?" ”

"Hui Sheng, until three days ago, the number of victims who followed these two people had reached as many as 50,000, including about 20,000 young and strong, and the leader Xu Jie absorbed almost more than 1,000 government soldiers to help maintain order, and sometimes he also punished evil and promoted good, and he was quite respected among the victims."

Li Shimin's face turned green all of a sudden, more than 20,000 young and strong, more than 1,000 soldiers, this force is afraid that it is enough to fight Luoyang, which can't help but make him cautious all of a sudden.

"If I assassinate him with a hundred horses, what does Aiqing think?"

Before Fang Xuanling could speak, Wei Zheng jumped out and said loudly: "I don't know what crime these two people have committed, why they were punished for no reason, if they are guilty, why don't they be arrested and handed over to Dali Temple for interrogation." ”

As he spoke, Wei Zheng's eyes widened, his face flushed, and the green tendons on his neck agitated, and he actually took a step forward and sprayed at Li Shimin: "Sage, the minister has also heard of these two, that Xu Jie was originally a meritorious minister in the conquest of Liang Shidu, but because the treasury was empty, he had not been rewarded, so he fled to Luo-Yang with his old mother and young brother, because he was not used to seeing the bullies and hooligans on the road, he gathered some government soldiers and taught them a lesson. Do you still want to be punished for doing a narrow sense? This black and white is unknown, and even if it is unheard. ”

"That Qin Hao, who is twelve or thirteen years old, led some half-grown children to escape from the famine, and made some money by telling stories along the way, but they were all used to rescue orphans of the same age, so although he was young, he also won the sincere respect of the victims, and the victims all said that he was virtuous, I don't know why the saint did not teach and punish this virtuous person?"

Li Shimin was choked up and couldn't say a word, looking at Wei Zheng's indignant appearance, he was inexplicably a little ashamed.

At this time, Qin Hao, who was talking endlessly about the Three Kingdoms, of course didn't know that he had already turned around in front of the Ghost Gate, if it weren't for Wei Zheng, he would have gone in.
