[The previous chapter was operated carelessly, and a paragraph was repeated, and Lao Gao deeply reviewed it to everyone]......

Pei Lin came out of the palace and hurried to the Qin Palace, which was also the tolerance of the early Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan did not prohibit his sons from socializing with the ministers, and even encouraged them to interact.

After arriving in the Middle Tang Dynasty, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty began to strictly prohibit children from interacting with ministers, especially strictly prohibiting the prince from interacting with ministers, such as the Wei Jian case during the Tang Dynasty Xuanzong, because the crown prince Li Heng and his relative Wei Jian secretly met on the night of the Shangyuan Dynasty, which caused the emperor Li Longji to be angry, and was killed and demoted dozens of people.

In the early Tang Dynasty, there were not so many taboos, and more importantly, the world was undecided, and Li Yuan needed to rely on the clan and the princes to calm the world for him.

At this time, Li Shimin already knew about the Sui army's occupation of Huining County, and his father called the crown prince and Pei Lin into the palace to discuss, and he also heard about it, Li Shimin was anxious and uneasy, and he wanted to know his father's attitude towards this matter.

He was waiting for Pei Lin to come to the door, and when Pei Lin rushed to the Qin Palace, Li Shimin immediately ordered someone to lead him to the outer study to meet.

"Is my father ready to send troops to Huining County?" As soon as they met, Li Shimin couldn't wait to ask.

Pei Lin sighed slightly, "The will of the Holy Lord to send troops is very resolute, I don't think he wants to maintain the vein, but to protect face." ”

Li Shimin's heart sank, his father still decided to send troops, Li Shimin did not approve of sending troops to Huining County, and the Sui army would not give up the minerals of Huining County, and the two sides would have a battle.

And Huining County is not better than the Central Plains, after all, the Central Plains is far away, and the impact of defeat is not great, and Huining County is close to Guanzhong, once defeated, it will inevitably shake Guanlong, will deal a heavy blow to the morale of the people of Guanlong, and accelerate the centrifugation of Guanlong nobles to the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, if the war is won, it will greatly improve the morale of the Tang army, but how likely is it to win this war? Li Shimin didn't dare to imagine.

But my father had already decided to send troops, and he couldn't change it. In desperation. Li Shimin had no choice but to ask him another question he was concerned about, "Who will be the commander of the army?" ”

"Returning to His Royal Highness, led by Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an County, the specific troop movement is unknown, it is estimated that the troops of the Guannei and Hexi systems will be used, a total of 30,000 people."

Li Shimin took a few steps behind his back, Li Shentong has always supported the construction, and Li Shentong has a very good relationship with Princess Xiuning of Pingyang, so that Chai Shao is also slightly biased towards the construction.

Li Shimin shook his head. "The army in Hexi will not move, it is estimated that it is the army of the Guannai system and the army of Chai Shao."

"What about His Highness's attitude?"

Pei Lin was more concerned about Li Shimin's attitude, "In this battle for Huining County, will His Royal Highness also participate in the battle?" ”

Li Shimin shook his head, "My father didn't let me enter the palace to participate in the interview, in fact, he didn't plan to let me get involved in Huining County, my father obviously wanted the crown prince to participate in this battle, so I just stood by and watched." ”

Speaking of which. The corners of Li Shimin's mouth showed a mocking smile. "I wish them a victorious start and success!" ……

In a mule and horse shop in Liren City, Chang'an, a bearded shopkeeper is sitting behind the counter with squinting eyes, looking at passers-by.

This bearded shopkeeper is about 30 years old, named Pan Wendian, who was once Yang Yuanqing's personal military captain, and is now the head of the Chang'an Intelligence Hall.

He has been in Chang'an for several years, and has completely integrated into this big city in the world, and even his accent has gradually changed to Chang'an Jingyin. There is also a little bit of Guanzhong soil cavity.

This mule and horse shop, which covers an area of about two and a half acres, is also where the Chang'an Intelligence Headquarters is located, since the establishment of Tang Feng, the intelligence agency of the Tang Army, Chang'an has also strengthened counterintelligence inspections, and one of their branches in Xianyang County was discovered, but fortunately, the evacuation of personnel was timely and did not cause serious losses.

Since then, Pan Wendian has been more careful. will never easily expose themselves and the identity of the store,

At this time, one of his buddies walked back with a few donkeys in a hurry, and shouted from afar: "Shopkeeper, Master Feng thinks these donkeys are too old and refuses to ask for them, so let me bring them back." ”

About an hour ago, Feng Changqing, the waiter of the Inner History, asked his son to come to the store to buy a few donkeys, and the shopkeeper Pan asked his men to lead a few donkeys to the mansion.

Shopkeeper Pan greeted him, "Don't forget it, take the donkey back to the pen, and feed some grass and water." ”

The man was surrounded by no one, so he quickly stuffed a small note to the shopkeeper Pan, who understood and arranged for the man to lead the donkey to the backyard, while he himself hurried into the back room, closed the door, and opened the small note.

I saw only one sentence on the note: 'The imperial court sent troops to Huining County, Li Shentong was the main general, and the deputy general Chai Shao had a force of 30,000 troops. ’

Shopkeeper Pan understood, immediately took a piece of thin silk paper, and carefully wrote down an urgent message with a thin pen......

After the failure of the preliminary negotiations in Yan'an County, Yang Yuanqing did not continue to stay in Yan'an County, but returned to Taiyuan, and Xiao Yu also turned around and followed Yang Yuanqing to Taiyuan.

Xiao Yu's arrival was a day later than Yang Yuanqing's, he entered Taiyuan City from the West Gate, and the failure of the preliminary negotiations made Xiao Yu very depressed.

His frustration was not due to the problem of the negotiation itself, he knew in his heart that the negotiation would not go so smoothly, and his anxiety came from the possibility that the imperial court might send troops to Huining County, which was exactly what he did not want to see.

Xiao Yu, like Li Shimin, opposed the outbreak of a war with the Sui army for the battle for Huining County, because once the war was lost, it would affect the stability of the entire imperial court and seriously shake the morale of the army and the people in the Guanlong region.

If the imperial court had been smarter, it should have thundered loudly and rained little, and sent troops back to the army, but did not really fight the Sui army, and finally found a reason to end this dispute.

Xiao Yu sighed in his heart, it was estimated that the saint would not take his suggestion, and would definitely send troops to recapture Huining County, so how could the Sui army give up, and a war was inevitable.

Xiao Yu with more than 20 guards and entourage, from the west gate into Taiyuan City, as soon as he entered the city, he felt that the atmosphere was different, the city gate was crowded with people, as if they were competing to see an official notice, next to the notice there were two soldiers on duty, holding spears in their hands and carrying horizontal knives at their waists.

At this time, Xiao Yu suddenly found that there was a wooden cage hanging on the city wall above the notice, and there were three human heads in the wooden cage, all of which were very fresh, as if they had just been beheaded today.

"Go see what's going on?" Xiao Yu instructed one of his attendants.

The entourage squeezed into the crowd, and rushed back after a while and said: "Back to Xiangguo, it seems that the Wang family brewed moonshine, the amount is huge, Wang Xu's son and two nephews are the main culprits, and they have been beheaded, and the Wang family's grange, shop and wine shop have been confiscated, I heard that even the royal mansion was raided last night, and all the money and grain were stolen." ”

Xiao Yu sighed secretly, even if the Wang family is completely finished, without property as a backing, the Wang family will be torn apart and unable to maintain, this is the first Shandong family that Yang Yuanqing cleaned up, and it is a case of borrowing bootlegging wine, and it is done in a glossy manner.

At this time, Xiao Yu suddenly remembered an important matter, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he remembered very clearly, Wen Daya came to appease the Wang family by order, since the Wang family was copied, and what is the situation of Wen Daya?

He glanced back at the three heads again, there was no Wen Daya, he waited in his heart, whipped the war horse and ran towards the city, he must find out Wen Daya's whereabouts first......

The Wang family's alcohol ban case was officially closed after Yang Yuanqing came back last night, and the three Wang brothers were killed as the masterminds of the alcohol ban case, while Wang Xu and his brother Wang Su were sentenced to be cut from their posts to the people and imprisoned for three years.

Those who resolutely followed Wang Xu were sentenced to three to five years in prison, while those who were willing to repent were demoted to official positions and demoted to county officials.

The Inner Guard Prison is in the backyard of the Inner Guard Army's Yafu, it is an underground prison, which occupies a large area underground, is made of bluestone, has more than 20 cells, and can detain more than 100 people.

The dungeon was damp and cold, the light was dim, and it looked eerie, and there were very few people in the prison at this time, and the Wang Xu brothers had been transferred to Dali Temple Prison to serve their sentences, and there were actually only two people in the entire cell.

One is the Tang Dynasty's fine work of Wen Daya, and the other is Liu Xuanmao, the secretary of Dali Temple, at this time Liu Xuanmao already knew that Wang Xu was because of the requirements of the Tang Dynasty to encourage them to oppose the Central Plains campaign, which made him feel quite remorseful, and he fell into Wang Xu's big deal.

Liu Xuanmao didn't want to oppose the Sui, he just paid more attention to the interests of the Hedong clan, and Yang Yuanqing took the Central Plains, which not only burdened the imperial court, but also caused a great exodus of the manor labor.

It was for this purpose that Liu Xuanmao resolutely opposed the Sui army's attack on the Central Plains, but he did not expect to be used by Wang Xu.

Just when Liu Xuanmao was sitting in a daze in prison, there was a sound of iron chains at the end, this was the big iron door opened, Liu Xuanmao immediately stood up, pressed his face tightly against the iron fence, and tried his best to look towards the gate.

From a distance, I saw dozens of soldiers escorting Yang Yuanqing and walking quickly, Yang Yuanqing walked unhurriedly with his hands behind his back, very calmly.

Liu Xuanmao was stunned for a moment, slowly retreated, and sat on the couch with his buttocks, his heart in a mess.

At this time, Yang Yuanqing stopped in front of the iron fence, and looked at Liu Xuanmao with some pity, Liu Xuanmao's father Liu Shu died in the palace chaos of Renshou for four years, when he Yang Yuanqing was still a sixteen-year-old boy, risking the world's disapproval, saving Yang Guang's life, and Liu Shu committed suicide by poisoning.

Yang Yuan is quite new to appreciate the academic talent of the Liu family and his son, especially Liu Xuanmao, who is very outstanding in learning and ability, and it is because of this that Liu Xuanmao can hold such an important position as Dali Siqing.

"Hasn't Liu Envoy-kun thought it through?" Li Yuanqing smiled gently.

Liu Xuanmao bit his lip, lowered his head and said, "Although I know that I am wrong, the mistakes I have made are extremely deep, and I dare not ask His Highness for forgiveness." ”

This is Liu Xuanmao's very implicit admission of his mistakes, and he instigated more than 60 people to sign the signature book.

Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly, "As long as I can know that Liu Envoy Jun can get lost, I will still reuse Envoy Jun." ”

"Hey!" Liu Xuanmao sighed, "Your Highness, Weichen knows that he is wrong. ”

If Yang Yuanqing said this, he immediately nodded, "Since you know your mistake, then I will make you the magistrate of Changping County, and work hard again!" Strive to get into the phase as soon as possible. ”

Liu Xuanmao's heart was moved, his nose was slightly sour, and he bowed down in a trembling voice: "Thank you for the kindness of Your Highness!" ”
