The so-called new dynasty and new atmosphere, Li Tang has been established, and the things of the old dynasty should be changed. Ｘ

So after Li Yuan sat on the dragon chair, he first issued an edict to abolish the law of great cause, and ordered Pei Lian, Liu Wenjing and others to compile and approve the law, and set up more than 300 students in Guozixue, Taixue, and four subjects. The operation of the five elements of the Tang Dynasty is deduced, and the color is honored by yellow.

On the first day of June in the first year of Wude, Li Yuan promoted the hundred officials and ministers, with Li Yin as the Zhongshu Order, and Li Shimin as the Shangshu Order, nominally letting Li Yin and Li Shimin share the charge of the hundred officials, of course, this is more of an honorary nature, after all, whether it is Li Yin or Li Shimin, they both hold the heavy troops of the Li Tang Dynasty, and then manage the hundred officials, the power is about to be greater.

Li Yuan also appointed Huangtai Gong Li Ying as the squire of the Criminal Department, Shi Pei Lian, the governor of the Xiangguo Prefecture, as the right servant and governor, Sima Liu Wenjing as the Nayan, Dou Kang and Xiao as the internal history order, Li Gang as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the head of the election, Peng Yin Kaishan as the servant of the Ministry of Officials, Zhao Cijing as the waiter of the Ministry of War, Wei Yijie as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Shuda and Cui Min as the waiter of the Huangmen, Tang Jian as the waiter of the internal history, and Pei as the Shangshu Zuocheng of the record of joining the army; Dou is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Jiang Gongqu Tutong is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Chang'an Ling Dugu Huaien is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. Li Yuan is Li Yuan's nephew; Dugu Huaien is the son of Li Yuan's uncle.

On the sixth day of the first month, Tang Emperor Li Yuan sacrificed to the four relatives of the temple master. Li Yuan's ancestor Li Hu is Emperor Jing, the temple name is Taizu, and his grandmother is Empress Jinglie; His father Li is Emperor Yuan, the temple name is Shizu, and his mother Dugu is Empress Yuanzhen; Posthumously married his wife Dou as Queen Mu. Every year, we worship Haotian God, Huangdiyi, and Shenzhou, and enjoy it with Emperor Jing, Emperor Shengsheng, Mingtang, and Emperor Yuan.

On the seventh day of the first month, Li Yuan sealed his relatives, established his son Li Jiancheng as the crown prince, named Li Yin, the prince of Jin, Li Shimin, the prince of Qin, as the king of Qin, Li Yuanji, the prince of Qi, Li Zhiyun, the prince of Song, Li Xiuning, as the princess of Pingyang, and the remaining three daughters were also princesses.

After that, Li Yuan named Li Shentong as the king of Yongkang, Li Baiju, the cucumber prince, as the king of the plains, Li Xiaogong as the king of Zhaojun, and more than a dozen people such as Li Xiaoji, Li Shuliang, and Li Shenfu, who were also crowned kings one by one. However, the kings of these clans who were crowned were all two-character kings, which were inferior to the one-character kings of Li Yuan's son, Li Yin and others.

Just when everyone in the Tang Dynasty was rejoicing in the new establishment of the dynasty and the promotion of officials, there was suddenly a few bad news, the first of all, Xue Ju of the Western Qin, once again led an army of tens of thousands of troops to attack, and the stragglers had arrived in the area of Feng and Qi, and the soldiers were very strong.

Then there was Shuofang Liang Shi Du Kou plundering Lingzhou, Jialuo King Zhu Cang invaded Xuanzhou, and Li Liang, the king of Daliang in Hexi, also strengthened the garrison on the border between the two sides, and seemed to be ready to move, intending to be unfavorable to Li Tang.

The Tang Dynasty faced its first challenge after the founding of the state.

Li Yuan then summoned hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss the strategy against the enemy, Li Yin and Li Shimin went out at the same time, and both said that they would lead troops to deal with Xue Ju's army, because Li Yin and Li Shimin both knew that among the forces attacking Li Tang at this time, Xue Ju had the strongest force and the greatest threat, as long as Xue Ju was defeated, the other forces were not to worry.

Li Yuan looked at Li Yin, then at Li Shimin, hesitating for a while.

The right servant shot Pei Lin seemed to see Li Yuan's thoughts, and suggested: "The King of Qin has fought with Xue Ju, and he knows himself and the other, and the minister thinks that it is more appropriate to let the King of Qin face Xue Ju than the King of Jin." ”

This year, Li Yin has the credit of quelling the Jihu rebellion, but Li Shimin went to Luoyang but returned in vain, so in Li Yuan's heart, he actually hoped to let Li Shimin go to meet Xue Ju, but seeing that Li Yin had a strong intention to ask for war, it was not good to refuse for a while, and his face showed hesitation.

And after Li Yuan listened to Pei Yin's words at this time, he had a sufficient reason to refuse Li Yin's request, but just as Li Yuan was about to speak.

Zhao Cijing, the squire of the military department, objected, "The minister does not agree with Lord Pei's words, the King of Qin knows himself and the other to Xue Ju, and Xue Ju also knows himself and knows the other to the King of Qin, Xue Ju was defeated by the King of Qin last time, and this time again, how can there be no way to deal with it, so it is more appropriate to send the King of Jin to fight." ”

Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and others looked at Zhao Cijing's gaze, and they all had a slight difference at this time, obviously thinking that Zhao Cijing was Li Yin's subordinate. And Li Yin was also very surprised that Zhao Cijing would speak for him at this time, because he knew that Zhao Cijing was not a central official who had taken refuge in him.

In fact, at this time, the signs of infighting in the Li Tang Dynasty were not obvious, and Zhao Cijing only said that out of his own understanding of military affairs.

After Zhao Cijing and Pei Lin argued with each other for a while, Li Yuan looked at Li Yin and said, "King Jin, do you have a peace opinion?" ”

Li Yin said: "The sons have no other opinions, and it is all up to their father. ”

Liu Wenjing glanced at Li Yin at this time, as if he intended to help him, but Li Yin shook his head at him slightly, Liu Wenjing felt a little surprised, but he didn't say anything more.

After Li Yuan pondered for a while, he finally made an arrangement, sent Li Shimin to lead the army west out of Chang'an, meet Xue Ju, and ordered Li Yin to lead the army to the north, repel the Liang division, and then let Xuanzhou Assassin Zhou Chao attack Zhu Cang, and the Northwest Prefecture Assassin Shi strengthened their defenses and was vigilant against Li Liang in Hexi to take the opportunity to sneak attack.

"Father, my son has a request." After Li Yuan made the order, Li Yin said with a calm expression.

Li Yuan said: "If the King of Jin has any request, even if he comes, I will definitely meet you." ”

Li Yin said: "Erchen hopes that my father can send Liu Hongji, the general of the Right Xiaowei, and Liu Wenjing, although I will go to meet Liang Shidu together." "Liu Hongji's outstanding performance in entering the customs was rated as the top three by Li Yuan, so at this time he was promoted to the general of the right Xiaowei, and his military power was very heavy.

Li Yuan originally wanted Liu Hongji and Liu Wenjing to go with Li Shimin to meet Xue Ju, but he didn't want to refute Li Yin's intention anymore, so he nodded and agreed to Li Yin's request.

After the court meeting dispersed, Liu Wenjing chased after Li Yin and said in a low voice: "Why did King Jin give this opportunity to make meritorious service to King Qin?" ”

Li Yin smiled with some meaning: "As Zhao Cijing, the squire of the military department said just now, Xue Ju came prepared this time, and if my third brother wants to win, it is not as simple as last time." ”

In October last year, Li Shimin led his troops to break Xue Ju's army in Fufeng, and pursued him until he returned to Yuandi, and after Xue Ju fled back to Longyou in embarrassment, he was still very panicked and asked his subordinates: "Has there been a surrender of the Son of Heaven since ancient times?" ”

Xue Ju asked like this, which meant surrender.

Huangmen Shilang, Qian Tang Chu Liang and many officials of Li Tang are privately friendly, so they strongly agree with Xue Ju's surrender to the Tang Dynasty, "Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, is attached to the Han Dynasty, and his honor is not reduced. ”

However, after Chu Liang finished speaking,
