Xiao Buyi stretched his waist and saw a military letter from Hedong on the table.

He no longer knows how many nights he has slept with Junwen, and he doesn't know how many nights he has to live like this.

The light shirt covering his body slipped off, Xiao Buyi looked around, there was no figure, and he smiled slightly, which was quite warm. He knows that the people here care about him silently, which gives him the strength to work hard every day.

He fell asleep, I don't know who covered him with a long robe, just afraid that he would get cold for a long night, this is the Eastern Capital, this is the most heavily guarded Xiliang Palace, the people here, everyone has been born and died with him for many years, or loyal to him, or affectionate to him, only here, can he let go of his mind and sleep happily.

The autumn wind rises, the leaves are yellow, and between heaven and earth, there is already autumn killing.

Xiao Buyi's gaze finally moved from the fallen leaves to the military text, and he knew that most of the things in Hedong had changed. He didn't open the military text for a long time, but he was thinking that most of the time it was time for the real showdown, as long as Li Yuan defeated Liu Wuzhou, he would definitely send troops!

This dispatch of troops was not a life-saving straw for Dou Jiande, but Li Yuan wanted to fight him to the death!

He Xiao Buyi started from witnessing the troubled times with his own eyes, and he wanted to witness the end of the troubled times again!

Opening the letter, the content of the military intelligence is divided into three points.

First of all, Li Shimin defeated Song Jingang in Baibi and won a crucial battle against Liu Wuzhou. Liu Wuzhou had already gone down to Hedong for most of the year, but almost all of this battle was lost. Li Shimin marched more than 200 miles in one night, fighting from Baibi to the Bird Mouse Valley, and then only rested for a few hours, and then fought with Song Jingang again. Although Song Jingang was brave, his subordinates were already panicked, and they were defeated again and fled all the way north. Within three days, Li Shimin recovered more than 300 miles of lost land, Li Tang's morale was greatly boosted, and the Tang army was warmly welcomed by the local people at Zhangnanbao. Li Shi's militia came out of Zhangnanbao and entered Taiyuan!

When Xiao Buyi saw this, he frowned, he was not worried about Li Shimin's success, it was unstoppable, in fact, Li Shimin's battle could be said to be an expected victory. Li Yuan concentrated the forces that had originally entered the Central Plains and garrisoned Guanzhong to fight Song Jingang, and the Turkic soldiers had invaded Mayi and Yanmen, so Liu Wuzhou was attacked by the enemy on his back and was undefeated. What Xiao Buyi is worried about is that all the people in Hedong are looking forward to at the moment is Li Tang, and if they want to fight Hedong, this factor cannot be ignored.

The second point of the military intelligence said that Song Jingang was defeated, and Wei Chigong was also defeated and fled.

Wei Chigong was also defeated, defeated by Li Jiancheng's men. Xiao Buyi pressed his brow with his hand, thoughtfully, stretched out his hand to beckon the palace people to come closer, and commanded two words. The palace people hurriedly went out, and Xiao Buyi continued to watch. It turned out that Wei Chigong, Zhang Gongjin, and Shan Xiongxin were originally designed to go down to Wenxi County first, and then join forces with Song Jingang's soldiers to fight against Li Shimin. Helplessly, Li Xiaoji is an old fox, only sent Li Caiyu to fight, Li Caiyu Weizhen Guanzhong's women's army and Wei Chigong duel, heavy casualties, and even the whole army is exhausted, the war is ruthless, Wei Chigong won a complete battle against Li Caiyu, but was stubbornly resisted by Li Xiaoji, failed to take Wenxi County, can be said to be defeated. After Song Jingang's army was defeated and withdrew, Wei Chigong was already isolated. Li Xiaoji and Li Jiancheng resolutely counterattacked, although Wei Chigong was an excellent leader, but the army's heart was unstable, unable to return to the sky, even the battle was lost, and could only flee all the way to Taiyuan. Zhang Gongjin and Shan Xiongxin's cavalry, although they followed Wei Chigong, were ready to evacuate at any time.

Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood! The ironclad cavalry has been fighting for a long time, there are not many casualties, and they still have the strength of Nuoda, so they just wait to fight again in the future.

When Xiao Buyi saw this, three people walked in outside the door, all of them were calm and condensed, and they all hugged their fists and saluted: "King Xiliang, I don't know what to order?" ”

The man at the head was the bat.

The two people behind him, one is called Lan Lan and the other is called Yin Yushan, both of whom are Xiao Buyi's personal guards. These people, in the selection of the Eastern Capital, were all among the best and had excellent skills. They are like ghosts, always hiding in the shadows, guarding Xiao Buyi's safety.

"Bats, you take them to Hedong to do something." Xiao Buyi groaned: "When I arrived in Hedong, I first asked Zhang Gongjin for assistance, and then secretly guarded the safety of Wei Chi Gong." ”

Bat said: "Do you persuade him to come to the Eastern Capital?" ”

"Of course it's best for him to come, if he doesn't come, don't let him know about your affairs, and respect his decision." Xiao Buyi muttered.

The bat was ordered to retreat, Xiao Buyi's gaze fell on the military text again, and he fell into contemplation for a long time.

The last point of the military text is that Princess Li Caiyu of Pingyang died in the chaotic battle, and after listening to the news of the Tang Army, she fell off a cliff and died!

Li Caiyu is dead?

When Xiao Buyi saw the news, he was a little stunned. Of course, he still remembered this stubborn and self-reliant woman, but her silent drifting made Xiao Buyi feel the ruthlessness of the war.

But it's just an emotion. Xiao Buyi immediately thought, where did Wen Yuzhou go now? He has long known that this cousin, who actually has nothing to do with him, has stayed by Li Caiyu's side all these years, working as a house slave under the pseudonym Ma Sanbao.

Xiao Buyi understands Wen Yuzhou's choice, and now it is inevitable to think about his whereabouts. The military text is concise, of course, there will be no news of a house slave, even if the person who inquires, he must not care about this matter. Li Caiyu's death was reported by Chai Shao, and the three armies were moved by it, and Li Yuan was even more painfully hit. You must know that although Li Caiyu is quite emotionally entangled, he is still quite talented in leading the army. She helped the family members of the Eastern Capital to turn around, recruited soldiers with Li Shentong, Changsun Shunde and others, founded the Women's Army, and set up her own shogunate, in this era, she can be regarded as an outstanding woman. Li Yuan went to Chang'an, Ke Yongfeng, recruited bandits, etc., Li Caiyu has a lot of credit, but such a woman, in the era of fate like mustard, it is still difficult to resist the ruthlessness of Bingge.

His eyes fell on the last few lines of the military text, and there was a strangeness on Xiao Buyi's face. It was written that Li Yuan mourned the death of his daughter and paid tribute to the death of the general. Chai Shao was saddened by Li Caiyu's death, did not eat or drink for several days, and begged Li Yuan to marry Caiyu to him in name, and never marry him from now on! Li Yuan has agreed.

Xiao Buyi breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and pressed the bridge of his nose, put on a long shirt and walked out.

**

The autumn wind was slightly cold, the sycamore was haggard, Xiao Buyi walked through the courtyard, and saw a woman in the distance, who was in the red flowers and green grass, bright and beautiful, and thousands of demeanors. I was holding a baby, teasing him to laugh, smelling the flowers, feeling the autumn coolness, hearing the footsteps, turning his head, starry eyes, and smiling.

Xiao Buyi walked over with a smile and said softly: "Bei'er, your body is weak after giving birth, why don't you rest more?" Reaching out to take the baby from Pei Bei's hand, he stabbed the tender face with a beard full of stubble.

The baby giggles and laughs, and is already happy.

Xiao Buyi hugged his son and was full of emotion. He fought on horseback, and even when the child was born, he was not by Pei Bei's side.

Pei Bei gave birth to a son for him, and now, in addition to Shouye, he has another son. Seeing Xiao Buyi teasing the child, Pei Bei pretended to be disgusted and said: "It hurts the child, look at your hairy hands." ”

Xiao Buyi smiled: "When have I ever been careless?" He freed his hand, hugged Pei Bei's slender waist, looked at the sky and said, "Bei'er, thank you for your hard work." After all these years of edification, Pei Bei's barbaric spirit has disappeared, and she is even more plump and graceful after giving birth. Looking at Pei Bei now, who would have thought that she was still a ruthless killer back then, and she was almost killed back then.

Pei Bei grabbed Xiao Buyi's arm and snuggled gently for a moment, "It's you who works hard, come in a hurry, and fight in an instant." Over the years, you have fought more battles than when you were in the Eastern Capital. ”

"I have discussed with my ministers more than I have with you." Xiao Buyi said with emotion: "Belle, I sometimes really feel tired. But I can't stop ......."

Pei Bei leaned on Wei'an's body, looking at the resolute side face, and felt a little pain in her heart. Her heart aches for this busy man, and her heart aches for him to fly like a tired bird.

"If it wasn't my recommendation ...... in the first place"

Xiao Buyi smiled, "There is no if, only the present." Belle, you don't have to think about it. ”

Pei Bei snuggled up for a long time, and then came back to her senses, saw what Xiao Buyi was thinking, and remembered one thing, "Buyi, my son doesn't have a name yet?" I've been waiting for you to pick it up. ”

Xiao Buyi realized that Pei Bei came out with her son in order not to delay his deliberations, and deliberately waited.

There was tenderness in his heart, guilt, and indescribable gratitude, Xiao Buyi groaned slightly, and said, "Call him Jimin." Belle, what do you think? ”

Pei Beiyan smiled and nodded, "The name you choose is always good." My son was going to make trouble, so I took him back to rest. She saw that Xiao Buyi still had important things to do, so she left lightly. Xiao Buyi walked out of the mansion slowly, taking care of the early affairs first.

The internal affairs were handled by Lu Chu, Du Ruhui, Ma Zhou, Wei Zheng and others, all of which were well organized.

Even so, Xiao Buyi spent a lot of time listening to the ministers' recitals.

The ministers knew that Xiao Buyi's affairs were busy, and they were all simple and concise.

There is a bumper harvest in Jingxiang, the government of Bashu is harmonious, the people are happy, and the economy of the eastern capital is developing at an unprecedented high speed. When Yang Guang was in power, he used profits to lure merchants from all over the world to trade, and now, even if Xiao Buyi doesn't say it, businessmen from overseas and Western Regions also know that the eastern capital is the heart of the world and compete to come to trade.

In addition to the Liaodong and grassland tribes, from west to east, when the late summer and autumn come, at least dozens of countries come to the present-day Great Sui to seek opportunities, because Bashu and the southeast have been initially settled, and there is no need to worry about walking in the Central Plains.

If Yang Guang knew the scene today, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Xiao Buyi was in a high position, listening to the health of the field, his heart was slightly happy, and those sorrows in the early morning had been swept away. At this time, Huainan Taishou Xu Sheng told the worries, the Jianghuai flood was serious, the people were extremely bitter, and the war was peaceful, the mourning was all over the wilderness, and there were people who died of hunger from time to time, Xu Sheng asked the king of Xiliang to decide.

Jianghuai was peaceful, but when it encountered a natural disaster, everyone looked at each other.

When Xiao Buyi heard this, he realized that it was extremely difficult to manage a country. The disaster he knows is quite serious, and the people in the world who are struggling to survive don't know how much.

As the king of Xiliang, he takes care of the world, and the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the people are of course his joys, sorrows, and sorrows. The hardships of the founding monarch are really unimaginable to ordinary people.

After just a little muttering, Xiao Buyi gave an order, "This year, all taxes will be exempted from taxes in the affected counties and counties in Jianghuai." As for the matter of the hungry people, I quickly ordered 800 li to expedite the spread of the word, and ordered the county and county governments to open warehouses and release grain, and there must be no mistake! ”

Xu Sheng knelt on the ground, and said with tears in his eyes: "Weichen for the people of Jianghuai, thank the king of Xiliang for his holy virtue." ”

Xiao Buyi continued: "Ma Shilang obeys the order. ”

Ma Zhou hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Weichen is here." ”

Xiao Buyi said with emotion: "This king knows that every time there is a natural disaster, the people are not happy. But people's hearts are unpredictable, and there are always people who lack conscience and take advantage of this opportunity to bend the law for personal gain. This king ordered you to be the Jianghuai disaster relief envoy, give the people a sword, and inspect the lawbreakers. If someone takes advantage of this disaster to hoard and disturb the people, once it is found out, you can cut it first and then play, and this king will take care of you! ”

His voice was sonorous, and the ministers were awe-inspiring, knowing that Xiao Buyi would do what he said, with joys and sorrows. Ma Zhou said solemnly: "Weichen is in charge." ”

Xiao Buyi stared at Ma Zhou and said: "But people's lives are at stake, Ma Shilang, you must use this sword properly, if there is any mistake or omission, this king will not spare it." ”

Ma Zhou listened to the order and stepped back, his heart excited. Xu Sheng was also happy when he heard it. The ministers said in unison: "The king of Xiliang is sympathetic to the people, worried about the people, and the blessing of the common people." ”

Xiao Buyi didn't know how much he had heard this sentence during this time, but he just smiled slightly.

At this time, Yang Tong said: "The king of Xiliang ......"

Xiao Buyi bowed his hand and said, "I don't know what the Holy Lord's will is?" ”

Yang Tong has been giving up power for many years, it can be seen that Xiao Buyi has always been polite to himself, although he knows that abdication is a matter of time, but he still sighs at the decisiveness of the queen mother. If he hadn't ceded power, he would probably have died a long time ago, how could he be carefree today. So far, although he is an empty shell, he has no worries about food and clothing after all. I always wanted to do something, so I said: "The queen mother and I are also heartbroken and the people are displaced, so I want to pray for the people in a few days, I don't know what the king of Xiliang wants?" ”

He was somewhat flattering, Xiao Buyi stood up and said, "Thank you." Weichen ordered Tai Changqing to be in charge of this matter, and the saint worked hard. ”

Yang Tong was happy in his heart, said that he had something else to do, and retired early.

Xiao Buyi actually felt that it was dispensable for what to worship the heavens and pray for blessings, but since Yang Tong said it, of course he still had to agree. Follow the local customs, and he is still not harsh on these things.

After Yang Tong retreated, Xiao Buyi still decided to do some practical things, recruiting the Ministry of People, the Ministry of Industry, and the two master craftsmen of the Ministry of Labor, and the master craftsmen of the two prisons of Zuo and Dushui stepped forward, Xiao Buyi instructed: "The Jianghuai disaster has been repeated since the reign of Emperor Wen. The first emperor opened the canal, although it was to facilitate shipping and communicate with the north and south, but there were still some fly in the ointment. The king decided to ......" He looked around at his ministers and said word for word: "From now on, the canal will be rebuilt." ”

The ministers were shocked, His Royal Highness was shocked, and Lu Chu was the first to stand up and say: "King Xiliang, this matter must not be allowed!" ”

Xiao Buyi frowned and said, "Why not?" ”

Lu Chu's face was flushed, "I think that when the emperor was there, in order to build the canal, he had let the women serve, which caused the people to live in poverty." If it is undecided today, people's livelihood will be stable, and it is by no means suitable for large-scale construction. ”

Xiao Buyi said coldly: "Could it be that I just watched the people in these places suffer for many years? ”

Xu Shiji stepped forward and said: "Although the people are suffering, they can temporarily move to other places." At present, the main thing is to pacify the world, and the large-scale construction of construction needs to be postponed. ”

"The suffering of the people is imminent, how can it be slow?" Xiao Buyi said.

Wei Zheng stepped forward and said: "King Qiqi Xiliang, the canal project is huge, and it is not an overnight effort to rectify the river. According to Weichen's view, General Xu's opinion can be used for reference. If the canal is rebuilt, it is only afraid that disputes will arise again in various places. ”

The three of them are all important ministers in the court, and their words have a lot of weight.

Seeing this, the ministers discussed a lot, but they were all against the rebuilding of the canal, and the arguments were unprecedentedly unanimous. Xiao Buyi was in a high position, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "But the people are suffering, what can I do?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Buyi no longer insisted, Lu Chu breathed a sigh of relief, "Tax reduction, opening warehouses and releasing grain, and relocating the people are all good methods." The treasury is only slightly full, it is not suitable for a big fight, if the king of Xiliang insists on his own opinion, it will undoubtedly destroy the Great Wall, and please think twice about the king of Xiliang! ”

The ministers said in unison: "Please also ask the king of Xiliang to think twice!" ”

The hall was silent, and the ministers were worried in their hearts, just waiting for Xiao Buyi's reply. Now that Xiao Buyi has a lot of power, it can even be said that he has a higher degree of control than Yang Guang, and everyone is really afraid that he will become the second Yang Guang.

The world has been in turmoil for hundreds of years, and only when Yang Jian was in power, there were decades of stability. Everyone just wants the world to be peaceful, and they don't want Xiao Buyi to do anything earth-shattering, as long as the world can be peaceful for decades, it is already the biggest cause.

Xiao Buyi looked at the ministers for a long time, and then said, "What you said also has some truth. The ministers relaxed, and Xiao Buyi changed the topic, "But in addition to Lord Lu's suggestion, we have to do something." If you sit back and watch the people suffer, won't it make the people of the world chill? ”

Xu Shiji asked, "I don't know what the king of Xiliang has to do." ”

Xiao Buyi groaned: "I can't bear the suffering of the people of Jianghuai. So be it...... I donate a month's worth to help the victims, but as for you......"

Xu Shiji hurriedly said: "Wechen also ask for a month's worth of money." ”

Wei Zheng stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Wei Zheng is willing to donate." ”

The ministers just wanted Xiao Buyi not to build any more ghost canals for the time being, and said one after another: "I am willing to donate." ”

Xiao Buyi was overjoyed, and said: "It's really commendable that you adults are so loving. All the donated property will be uniformly allocated by Wei Shangshu, and as for the civil construction of the eastern capital, the expenses and supplies of the palace must be reduced or reduced as appropriate. ”

As soon as the king of Xiliang spoke, everyone could only follow and greet each other, and for a while, there were people and things. Xiao Buyi no longer mentioned the rebuilding of the canal, but only asked the master craftsman who would be the supervisor and the water supervisor to arrange people to re-inspect the canal route to find the most cost-effective way to save people and eliminate harm for the people.

When the ministers heard this, they were all overjoyed and praised Xiao Buyi's wisdom.

After retiring from the dynasty, when only Xu Shiji and Wei Zheng were left by Xiao Buyi's side, Xu Shiji admired: "King Xiliang, your move to retreat is really powerful, I think the Great Sui for decades, can make these officials willing to donate property, and only the King of Xiliang is alone." ”

Xiao Buyi sat on the chair with his knees crossed, without the slightest majesty of the prince, and said with a smile: "It's just a small skill of carving insects." ”

Xu Shiji shook his head and said: "Yang Guang wants to know these carving insect skills, why is the country not guaranteed?" ”

Xiao Buyi sighed and said, "It's not easy to manage a country!" ”

It turned out that the natural disasters in Jianghuai were quite difficult for a while with the relief of the imperial court. Xiao Buyi had the idea of asking people to donate at this time, one person was in trouble, and support from all directions was originally his usual routine at that time, but here, it was unbelievable to ask the Shi clan gate valve to send money to the mud legs to rescue. Xiao Buyi knew the difficulties, and first proposed a way to build the canal, but the ministers were shocked and categorically vetoed, and Xiao Buyi put forward the real intention and successfully achieved the goal. If you just ask the ministers to donate money, it goes without saying that there will not be results in a few days.

Xu Shiji saw Xiao Buyi sigh and comforted: "King Xiliang, now it is much better than before. Stick to it, and when the world is unified, you should be able to relax. ”

"Maybe one day." Xiao Buyi wanted to say something, but finally stopped, changed the topic and asked, "How is the battle situation now?" ”

Xu Shiji smiled: "According to my inference, Xu Yuanlang is going to be finished." ”

Xiao Buyi's spirits perked up, "Did Zhang Zhenzhou capture Rencheng?" ”

Xu Shiji shook his head, "That's not true, but Dou Jiande retreated to the north bank of the Yellow River, and Xu Yuanlang was isolated." He is still insisting, but those subordinates, because there is no food and grass inside, and there are no rescuers outside, they no longer have the fighting spirit. I only received a secret letter from Lord Zhang last night, Xu Yuanlang's first adviser Liu Shiche has planned a retreat, plotting to surrender the city, Lord Zhang urgently told us, and asked the king of Xiliang to decide. ”

Xiao Buyi's eyes flashed with cold light, and he said hatefully: "Xu Yuanlang betrayed his relatives and left, and there is also today!" Zhang Zhenzhou has to tell him, if he has the opportunity, he will kill Xu Yuanlang! ”

Xu Shiji asked: "Master Zhang is old-handed, he thinks that if there is a possibility of capturing Xu Yuanlang, it is better to return to the Eastern Capital." Thinking that Wang Shichong has not surrendered yet, if you can treat him well, King Xiliang, you may have some effect on recovering Jiangdu. ”

Xiao Buyi shook his head and said, "This time, that time." I want Xu Yuanlang to fight with us for a long time, and we have suffered a lot of losses, if you don't kill him, why are the people angry? At the beginning, I persuaded Zhai Rang to surrender and recover Du Fuwei, all because the situation was not yet clear, and it was still necessary to recruit the remaining people. Xu Yuanlang has been in chaos for a long time, he belongs to the bandits, and besides, his soldiers have been exhausted, and there is no help. If there are any more bandits in the future and they persist until the end before surrendering, what will we do? ”

Xu Shiji nodded slowly, "King Xiliang's analysis is very reasonable. At present, there is no need for gentle means, so they should make an example of killing a hundred, and use thunder means to deter the remaining thieves, so that they will lose their illusions. But if Xu Yuanlang is killed, what will Wang Shichong do? ”

Xiao Buyi said: "I promised Wang Shichong the deadline, but I have already issued a death order to Xu Yuanlang. These two people are in different situations and treated differently, you can rest assured, Wang Shichong is cunning and cunning, but he can also understand the severity. If Xu Yuanlang can be killed, Wang Shichong will surrender! As long as Wang Shichong arrives in the Eastern Capital, whatever he does to clean him up is a random matter. ”

Xu Shiji responded: "Okay, since this is the case, I will immediately order Lord Zhang that there is no need to leave Xu Yuanlang's surname anymore!" ”
