During this period, the only relatively big change still appeared in the army, mainly in the guard system of the imperial city, Li Chengqian chose Xue Rengui as his Xuanwu Sect chief, replacing the original position of Zhang Shigui, and became the new emperor's closest confidant in the army.

This point is not at all surprising to everyone, after all, Xue Rengui was originally Li Chengqian's most loyal bodyguard leader, and it is completely understandable that he was promoted so quickly.

And Li Shimin originally left convenience for this matter, Zhang Shigui, who he trusted the most, did not come back to continue to be his Xuanwu Sect Chief after quelling the rebellion in the palace strongly, but returned to Youzhou and continued to guard the north gate of the empire, and the position of Xuanwu Gate Chief has been vacant.

Everyone thought that this position had been reserved for Zhang Shigui, but now it seems that Li Shimin had the foresight to leave it to Li Chengqian. After all, there are not many positions that can be vacated for Li Chengqian to arrange his henchmen.

And some of the palace gate guard generals have also been replaced by some new faces, among which there are a few guards from the Shi family, who have originally been the escort leaders of the East Palace, and in this rebellion, they have also made great contributions to the safety of Li Chengqian, and now let them continue to guard Li Chengqian's net worth, which is also not surprising.

Xi Junmai also benefited a lot from this wave of promotion, although he was still only the guard general of the Xuanwu Gate, but he was rewarded with a knighthood, which was enough to see that Li Chengqian attached great importance to him, not to mention that letting him stay as the most important guard of the Xuanwu Gate itself reflected his trust in him.

Another person who has benefited the most is naturally none other than Shi Lei, in this series of things, what kind of role Shi Lei has played, Li Chengqian is very clear. Especially in the last Zen concession, Shi Lei can be said to be desperate for his life, providing him with this opportunity to ascend in advance, Li Chengqian is an emotional person, how can he not reciprocate.

But Shi Lei is at this age, and it is really rare to achieve his current position, sixteen generals, but they are all meritorious generals at the level of Shi Lei's father-in-law Cheng Yanjin, unless one unfortunately dies early, otherwise in a short time, Shi Lei still does not have the qualifications to replace this group of veterans.

Removing them and replacing them with Shi Lei is obviously not a good thing for him Li Chengqian or Shi Lei, so what is given to Shi Lei can only be a promotion in the title.

Now Shi Lei has finally stepped into the ranks of "duke", instead of continuing to stay on the marquis, even if it is only the lowest founding county duke among the dukes, the fief is still the place before, but it sounds like it is much taller than the marquis, right? Moreover, he also kept the hereditary hat.

I believe that as he grows older, he will definitely be given more and more preferential treatment in the future, after all, among the young and middle-aged generals, Shi Lei is already recognized as the No. 1 general, and even in the hearts of many people, he has surpassed many old generals and promoted to the rank of top generals who can be compared with the two gate gods.

Shi Lei's achievements over the years are also obvious to all, the brilliant record of capturing two kings alive and winning more with less many times is really an unattainable height among the new generation of generals, and others can only be convinced.

Compared with the changes in the military generals, there are much fewer changes in the civil officials, and Li Chengqian's intimate scribes are still too young, and they have not yet proven themselves if they want to have qualifications, and they have not yet proven themselves if they want to promote these people in the line of fire.

Their sons are all in their prime, so they can't let them give way to their sons. So if nothing else, for a long time, the current lineup will still be used to maintain the operation of Datang.

In this way, two years have passed smoothly, and there have been no major changes in this transition period, of course, it is inevitable that there are still some founding merits, and they have passed away one after another, after all, they are all older.

And the attack on Goguryeo, which was about to start, was also suspended, after all, it was still a critical period when Li Chengqian had just taken over, and everything was still based on stability.

And isn't there Zhang Shigui in Youzhou, the so-called good fighters have no outstanding achievements, all the preparations are gradually advanced in peacetime, and everything is in the most secure state.

At least during this period of time, the alien races in the north have been very honest, and there has been no substantial threat to the Tang Dynasty, and no ethnic group has risen strongly, reaching the level of the original Turkic or later Hui, but the internal disputes are continuous, and the internal friction is more serious, which can be regarded as a smooth transition for the Tang Dynasty, saving a lot of trouble.

Of course, this is also indispensable to Xiong Xiong's credit, he led his brave and warlike warriors of the Black Water Tatar Clan to fight in the east and west, but set off a bloody storm between the white mountains and black waters, and even stretched out his tentacles out of the traditional Tartar clan's sphere of influence, which also posed a great threat to other alien races.

The other alien races were busy resisting the strength of the Tata clan, and they were a little too busy to take care of themselves, how could they covet the abundance of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, the toughness of the Tang Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people over the years, and the alien races around them dare not look back, so they can't afford to invade the Central Plains at all.

Especially when Shi Lei served under the rule of Youzhou, he took the soldiers of a state, and killed them on their backs, which greatly deterred these aliens who frantically worshiped force.

However, these things obviously don't need Shi Lei to worry about, there is only one thing he really cares about during this time, that is, the wedding of Shi Jue, the next generation head of the Shi family, and Princess Jinyang, Li Shimin's favorite daughter, and Li Chengqian's favorite eldest princess and little son!

Seeing that the wedding date announced in the world at that time was about to arrive, and the wedding was about to start, even Li Shimin, who had been traveling the world for a long time and hadn't seen anyone, rushed back, Shi Lei, as the in-law of the emperor, was naturally very concerned about this matter.

The wedding was naturally lively, and ingenious, almost all the animals of the Shi family went into battle, and they put on a posture of a hundred birds and phoenixes for the little son, and the romantic firefly lamps were spread all around Shi Jue's new house. There is no shortage of all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas at the banquet, so that all the guests can eat delicious food.

The new house prepared for Shi Jue and his little son was not placed in the big manor here in Chang'an, after all, even if they grew up in the future, they should have their own independent space, so Shi Lei simply picked up the newly built holiday manor over there and gave it to Shi Jue.

The design of the space here is more user-friendly, and there are many leisure and entertainment places such as horse farms and water parks around, which are more suitable for young people like them.

On the day of the wedding, not only did Li Shimin appear as a little son to send blessings, but now his spirit is very different, and Li Chengqian, who is becoming more and more imperial, appeared in the same low-key casual clothes to help his sister. Two generations of emperors appeared at the same time, which naturally pushed the atmosphere of the wedding to the peak.

Fortunately, the Shi family's guards were strong enough, and a lot of forces were dispatched to ensure the safety and order of the scene, and there was no problem.

After three days of excitement, all the blessed talents finally dispersed, and the Shi family finally returned to calm. It's just that with the princess and daughter-in-law of the little son, all the Tang Dynasty nobles and nobles inevitably have to look down on the Shi family even more, and Shi Lei and they will still be the center of everyone's discussion these days.
