When the eldest grandson Wuji and Wu Han took Li Baiju, the king of the plains, to Li Yin's big tent, the eldest grandson Wuji reported to Li Yin the details and evidence of Li Baiju's detention of military supplies, and Li Baiju seemed to believe that Li Yin would not do anything to him, and even confessed to it.

Li Yin looked at Li Baiju with a suspicious expression and said, "Uncle, those materials are not worth a few dollars, what are you doing with them?" ”

Li Baiju muttered: "Those barbarians killed so many of us last time, I think they should all be buried alive, how can they still give them winter clothes?" ”

"Presumptuous!" Li Yin suddenly shouted, which scared Li Baiju into trembling.

Li Yin stared at Li Baiju and said: "Western Qin has been destroyed by my Tang Dynasty, and Longyou is also owned by my Tang Dynasty, and the people of its land are all my Tang people, where are the barbarians?" How to deal with them, it is up to the commander and the saint to decide, so let you, the general, come and say something? Do you want to buy the hearts of the soldiers when you have withheld the clothes and distribute them to the soldiers you belong to? ”

Li Yin asked Li Baiju three questions in a row, one was heavier than the other, and when the question reached the end, Li Baiju's face was already pale, and his head trembled with cold sweat: "King Jin, the words ...... You can't talk nonsense, give me a hundred water tanks as guts, and I don't dare to have any idea of buying the hearts of the army! ”

Li Baiju didn't dare to let the crime of buying the heart of the army have anything to do with him, otherwise, whether Xiang Shang's head could be kept was a bit mysterious.

Li Yin snorted: "You'd better really not dare." ”

Afterwards, Li Yin looked at the military judge in the army: "What is the crime of seizing and embezzling the materials in the army without permission?" The military judge said: "The first offense is forty rods, and the second offense is sixty rods, and the military affairs are dismissed." ”

Li Yin nodded and looked at Li Baiju, "Uncle, are you willing to accept the punishment?" ”

Li Baiju's face was cloudy for a while, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to be punished!" ”

Li Yin waved his hand, and the law enforcement soldiers in the army escorted Li Baiju outside for execution, and soon after, bursts of screams resounded through the barracks.

Li Yin said to other officers and generals who were related to him: "In this king's military camp, no matter what your identity is, as long as you violate the military law, you will be punished. ”

"We will follow the teachings of King Jin!" All the generals responded in unison.

On November 25, Li Yin returned to Chang'an, and Li Yuan sent the crown prince Li Jiancheng to lead the officials of the Ministry of Rites to greet Li Yin outside the victory gate.

"Big brother!" After Li Yin saw Li Jiancheng and the officials, he immediately dismounted and stepped forward.

Li Jiancheng had a smile on his face, "Second brother, welcome back, this time you have made outstanding achievements in eliminating the great disaster for my Datang and expanding the territory!" ”

Li Jiancheng's words, although it was infinite praise, but revealed a little jealousy, in the first month of this year, he had a rare opportunity to lead the troops out of Tongguan, but in the end in vain.

In contrast, Li Yin first quelled the Jihu Rebellion in Lishi County this year, and then rescued Liang Shidu from invading Lingzhou, capturing 20,000 people and returning, and now he has destroyed Western Qin, and collected all the land of Longyou, removing the most threatening trouble for the Tang Dynasty.

Li Jiancheng's heart at this time, in addition to jealousy, was also faintly uneasy. After Li Yin returns to Chang'an, he will definitely be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and he has obtained such great credit, his power will definitely be strengthened again, and at that time, I am afraid that he will be able to catch up with the power of his East Palace......

After Li Yin entered Chang'an, he was ordered by Li Yuan to kill Xue Rengao in the downtown area, and then entered the palace to meet Li Yuan to report the results of the battle, and handed over the tiger talisman military power belonging to the Chang'an garrison.

After that, Li Yuan ordered Liu Gan to be posthumously presented as the prince of Pingyuan County, with the nickname of Zhongzhuang, and gave the Longzhou Assassin Shi Changda 300 pieces of silk who bravely did not yield to Xue Rengao, and killed the city warrior who hijacked Changda in the palace courtyard. And because the slave-born thief handsome Zhang Gui was too absurd and tyrannical, he ordered Zhang Gui to be beheaded, and for other Western Qin generals, they were no longer held accountable, and they were hired.

After coming out of the palace, Li Yin walked straight to his Jin Palace. After leaving Chang'an for a few months, he didn't think about anything at this time, he just wanted to reunite with his family.

"It's coming, it's coming, King Jin is coming." A fourteen or fifteen-year-old maidservant ran panting, flushed, and rushed to Guanyin, who was dressed as a young woman.

After hearing this, Guanyin's face showed joy, and she subconsciously stood up and looked forward, but she didn't find Li Yin's figure, so she knew that the maid said "It's almost here", but I was afraid that I would have to wait for a while.

"Mother, the tiger is hungry!" The little tiger who was holding Cailian's thigh raised his head and said to Cailian.

Cai Lian hugged the little Hu'er, "Hu'er, wait, your father will be back soon." ”

"Okay then." Xiaohu'er replied with an aggrieved face.

Guanyin said with concern: "You can't be hungry." Then, Guanyin beckoned to a mother-in-law, "Aunt An, you go to the kitchen and pick up pastries to fill Xiaohu'er's belly." ”

Aunt An was a person brought by Guanyin from her mother's house, and after listening to Guanyin's instructions, she immediately responded.

Cai Lian expressed her gratitude to Guanyin, "Sister Lao is bothered." Although she must be many years older than Guanyin, Guanyin is Li Yin's wife, so she should call Guanyin "sister" according to the rules.

Guanyin said disapprerovantly: "It's all a family, what's polite?" ”

"Da Da Da!" At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and then Guanyin and the others saw dozens of horsemen and horses appear at the corner of the street, and one of them was a man who was full of majesty, it was Li Yin, who they had been thinking about for a long time......

After Li Yin got off the horse and met Guanyin, Cailian and others, he picked up Xiaohu'er, and made his son laugh with the beard that had not been shaved for several months, and only after a while did he put Xiaohu'er on his shoulder and walked to the palace with everyone.

"A-maid, I'm not here these days, everything is okay at home?" Li Yin asked Guanyin.

Guanyin said: "Husband, rest assured, everything is fine at home, except for a small illness at the end of last month, there is nothing else to do." In addition, in the past few months when my husband went on the expedition, people often came to the palace to give gifts, but I refused on the grounds that my husband was not there. ”

Li Yin said: "It is very appropriate for a maid to do this, I am leading an army of more than 100,000 outside, if my family members are in Chang'an to receive gifts, it will definitely cause criticism." ”

After Guanyin heard Li Yin's praise, a happy smile appeared on her face.

Although Guanyin is not very old, in these days when Li Yin was away, she managed the Jin Palace's mansion in an orderly manner, and handled foreign affairs wisely and prudently, and Li Yin was also quite pleased with this.
