After the People's Day, due to the severe drought and frost in Guanzhong last year, the food was not enough to supply the imperial court. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Zhi ordered the crown prince Li Hong to supervise the country, and ordered the prime minister Zhang Wenqian and Dai Zhide and Li Jingxuan to stay in Chang'an, assist the prince, and lead hundreds of civil and military officials to the eastern capital to eat with the military queen.

Before leaving, Li Zhi's reward for Li Yu's rebellion in Goguryeo in Andong was also deliberated by the ministers of Zhongshu and Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province issued a reward edict:

Li Yu, the king of Yan, was meritorious in pacifying Goguryeo, sealed 1,500 households, rewarded 5,000 taels of silver, 500 taels of gold, and 20,000 taels of money.

Shi Li Element, the governor of the Yanwang Mansion, awarded the four grades of the following loose officials - the general doctor, with a reward of five hundred taels of silver and three thousand yuan; Xue Jun is a doctor in Taizhong, with a reward of 300 taels of silver and a thousand dollars; The rest of the civil servants were rewarded and promoted according to their merits.

Wang Hu, Cheng Boxian, Chen Xuan, Qin Jingqian and others awarded General Mingwei under the four grades, three hundred taels of silver, and thousands of dollars. The rest of the soldiers will be awarded to the military officers according to the size of their military merits, and they will be rewarded according to the rules.

As for Li Yu's appointment as the governor of Anton, he did not change his position as the governor of Anton, and all of them were summoned to the world.

Li Yu happily sent away the officials who came to announce the decree, and squeaked happily holding the edict, since he is now the highest prince in the Tang Dynasty. He said to Li Shu, the head of the palace who was waiting beside him: "Li Shu, send someone to inform Li Jingzhen, Xiao Shoudao and other people from the Hongmeng Society to come to the mansion tomorrow!" ”

"No, the old slave will do it!"

Li Shu was also happy for his Royal Highness in his heart, and ran in three steps and two steps to order his subordinates to hurry up and inform His Highness of the friends of the Hongmeng Society.

As an old man in the Yanwang Mansion, in charge of the affairs of the Yanwang Mansion in Chang'an, when Li Yu was a few years old, he was sent to serve by Li Yu's side because of Li Shu's meticulousness and cleverness, which was an errand that many eunuchs in the palace envied.

Hongmeng Society is a society formed by Li Yu five years ago with the children of the powerful people of Chang'an, who befriended him, not limited to men and women, aiming to discuss the theory of time, discuss the merits and demerits of ancient and modern figures, and learn literature and martial arts to think that he will enter the phase in the future. There are dozens of people who joined, and Li Yu's subordinate officials of Yanwangfu and many generals in the Anton Army were from the Hongmeng Society.

Li Yu took the opportunity of the issuance of the edict of his father to reward Anton's meritorious ministers, and invited the remaining friends of the Hongmeng Society to visit, which had his own intentions.

The Chang'an elite circle has always been well-informed about the news issued by the imperial court, and the next day Li Zhi's will to reward King Yan and Andong and other civil ministers and military generals spread throughout the Chang'an elite circle.

Some aspiring sons and daughters of wealthy families found that there were their friends, neighbors, and classmates in the list of His Majesty's rewards, and they had made meritorious contributions through the frontier to achieve a high position and a promising future.

When everyone in Chang'an Hongmeng Society heard the news, they sighed even more, and when they heard that King Yan was invited, they all rushed to King Yan's mansion to attend the banquet the next day.

In addition to being a powerful family, the first condition for Li Yu to invite the people to join the Hongmeng Society is that they are not unambitious because of their noble birth and superior life, and only Li Yu, who is determined to recreate his grandparents, will make friends with him.

Therefore, today's invitees include the grandsons of the British Duke Li Ji: Li Jingzhen, Li Sishun; Zheng Guogong Wei Zheng's grandson - Wei Ying; Ju Guogong Tang Jiansun - Tang Jianzhen; The son of the current prince, the son of Zhang Da'an, the third product under the door of the same book - Zhang Zhu; the grandson of Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song, who succeeded Xiao Shoudao and his sister Xiao Jinxuan; Cheng Wuzhong, the second son of Cheng Mingzhen, the second son of Dongyi Duhu; Dai Liangshao, the son of Dai Zhide, the squire of Xitai; More than 20 people, including the great-grandfather's lord, Yang Shiyan's brother, and Yang Shihong, the Duke of Guanguo. and Xue Ne's younger brother Xue Chuyu.

They are either the descendants of the prime minister of the dynasty after the founding of the country, regardless of their conduct and talent, they are all middle-class talents, and they are the objects that Li Yu relies on to win over the future.

In terms of origin, it covers the Guanlongmen valve, the Shandong family, and the Jiangnan family, which can be described as the three cornerstones of the Tang Dynasty's prosperity and martial arts.

As soon as the banquet began, Li Yu and all the friends who had been friends for more than ten years and even grew up together had a good conversation, toasted and drank with each other, congratulating Li Yu on being rewarded by His Majesty.

After the delicacies and wine, Zhang Zhuo put down his wine glass and said with emotion: "I think that at the beginning, there were dozens of us in the Hongmeng Society, and only half of the people gathered here today. The other half of his friends followed Siyang Ping'an Anton, made contributions in the border wasteland, and became famous, and were rewarded by His Majesty. Cheng Boxian, Xue Jun and other friends are still guarding the frontier in the cold Anton Town on the occasion of the New Year, but we are really ashamed to spend time in this prosperous Chang'an by the shadow of our fathers! ”

Cheng Wuzhong even put the wine glass in his hand on the food table and said: "I think my father is also the founding general, who has served the country all his life and made great achievements." My brother Cheng Wuting was even more famous in the army for his courage and strength in the army, and now he has been promoted to the general of the right leading army. I'm still a little captain of the forbidden army, I'm really ashamed! Watching his friend Anton fight for a year, he thought he was the governor and the assassin, and he was envious of me. ”

After speaking, Cheng Wuzhong also glanced at Li Yu, who was sitting at the top, Li Yu was still smiling, drinking and eating, listening to them tell their feelings.

Xue Chuyu laughed and said: "Cheng Eryang, with his feeling in front of his friends, he has a bright future, it is better to look for an opportunity to serve the court in the frontier." As soon as the Yuan Festival is over, I will follow my eldest brother to serve the field! ”

"Papapa......" Li Yu applauded: "Xue Wuyang is so courageous, your father Xue Jungong is a famous general of my Tang Dynasty, and Brother Ru is not inferior to your father in Anton, so I am very much looking forward to the time when the Xue family will produce three famous generals!" ”

Xue Chuyu said that he would follow his eldest brother, isn't this going to be under Li Yu's command?

Li Yu can be said to be extremely happy, he has two famous generals with a guarantee, why worry about big things!

In history, Xue Chuyu and his eldest brother Xue Ne were the two famous generals in the Kaiyuan period of the Xuanzong Dynasty, and the two brothers successively served as the envoys of the Fanyang Festival, and repeatedly defeated the Xi people and the Khitan, and Xue Chuyu made Youzhou area without a major war for more than ten years.

It is a pity that the two brothers proposed military reform but were ostracized by conservatives. Xue Chuyu was accused of dereliction of duty, dismissed from office, and replaced by Zhang Shouqi, whose departure hastened the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion.

"Your Highness Xie's compliment!" Xue Chuyu, a young man who was only fifteen years old, raised his glass to Li Yu and drank it all.

After Li Yu raised his glass in return, he looked at the many friends sitting in the hall, and looked at Li Yu expectantly one by one, wanting to say it in his heart but being embarrassed to speak.

Li Yu knew what they were thinking, and it was also what Li Yu was looking forward to, but he didn't take the initiative to ask.

Seeing their depressed appearance, Li Yu was amused in his heart, and he wanted to beg me to take you to Anton to make meritorious contributions, just say it, why do you show yourself here one by one.

Dai Liangshao sighed again, looking for a way to govern the country and secure the country like his father, and ranked among the ministers of the DPRK and China.

The two brothers, Li Jingzhen and Li Sishun, quarreled to learn from their grandfather to fight on the battlefield, and their fame will go down through the ages.

Then there were Tang Jianzhen, Duan Huaijian and others, who were already descendants of military generals, and did not have the elegance of a literati, and they roared with their tongues when they drank wine.

Yang Shiyan couldn't stand it anymore, and teased: "What are you wailing here one by one, just say that you want to go to Anton with my family to gain fame?" Expressing revenge in this heart, it is not too panicked to play dumb riddles! ”

"Ouch, before I passed the door, I started to speak for my own Jun!" Xiao Jinxuan covered her cherry mouth and teased, which made Yang Shiyan's face flush instantly.

"Look, Sister Shiyan's face is red, she was said by the slave family." Xiao Jinxuan exclaimed exaggeratedly with her small mouth open, such a good opportunity, she was very happy to make fun of Yang Shiyan, giggling non-stop.

The other people in the hall laughed, and they complimented Li Yu and Yang Shiyan for a hundred years.

Yang Shiyan, who was affectionate to Li Yu himself, was teased by everyone, stared at Li Yu with a red pretty face hatefully, and ate vegetables with his head down to hide his embarrassment.

Li Yu was really speechless, and he blamed me for being teased, ancient and modern women are really the same.

Although Yang Yuanniang on the side was smiling happily like everyone else, her heart was tight, although the prince could have one concubine and four Confucians, but who was not born bad did not want to be the princess of the wife?

After everyone laughed, Li Yu said with a smile: "Inviting you to come here today is the annual gathering of Hongmeng Society. Since you have the ambition to make contributions to the wasteland, I wonder if you can go with me Dong'an? Maybe there will be a few battles with Silla this year or next, not to mention that the lost territory of Baekje has not yet been recovered. ”

Li Yu's eyes swept over everyone, and the little lady automatically skipped over, only to see Cheng Wuzhong and the others looking at him in a daze, with excitement and apprehension on their faces.

"I am willing to follow His Highness to the east!" Cheng Wuzhong took the lead in getting up and kneeling on the ground in the hall to please.

Then Xue Chuyu, Li Jingzhen, Li Sishun, Tang Jianzhen, Duan Huaijian and other generals then played.

"I heard that Anton lacks officials to govern the place, I guess I can do it, I don't know what His Highness wants?" Zhang Zhuo said with a smile.

Li Yu smiled: "Just wait for Zhang Ying's words!" ”

Xiao Shoudao, Yang Shihong and other scribes were also unwilling to wait for Cheng Wuzhong and other martial artists, and were willing to go to Anton with Li Yu to guard the border for the country and educate Dongyi.

Li Yu was in a good mood, and all those who wished to go were all accepted, and he raised a glass to these good young people.

Everyone drank and talked happily, discussed the situation in Anton, and all their talents were ready to go to Anton to show their ambitions.
