Chapter 21: An Unexpected Reward

The army rested for the night, and the next morning, all three armies moved.

The closer he got to Chang'an, the more Luo Shixin could feel a new vitality, which was something that could not be seen in Hebei.

The key factor lies in people, and only when there are more people can there be vitality and hope.

The damage caused by the great turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty was too great and too tragic, and the official population statistics were once compiled: in the fifth year of the Great Cause, the population of the whole country was about 8.9 million, but in the Wude period, there were only more than 2 million households, a sharp decrease of nearly three-quarters, and nearly 35 million people died in the turmoil.

There are ten rooms and nine empty rooms in all parts of the world, which naturally lacks vitality and popularity.

Chang'an is different from other places, the Li family was based in Guanzhong at the beginning of the turmoil, and has never experienced war, compared with other places, showing a new atmosphere of vitality.

Luo Shixin was one of the twenty-three generals under Li Shimin, located at the forefront of the army, and his mood was cheerful when he saw such a scene, but he didn't see Pingyang, but it was also a small regret.

The army returned to the dynasty in triumph and was warmly welcomed, and Li Yuan even sent his henchman Pei Lian, the first important minister of Li Tang, to the outskirts of the city to greet him.

After entering Chang'an, the band played a welcome song, and the people celebrating the victory had been waiting for a long time.

On the way to the palace, the people cheered and cheered, firecrackers and fireworks were fired, and every house was lit up, and the atmosphere was blazing, boiling with the gratitude and enthusiasm of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

However, as a clear-eyed person, Luo Shixin still found that he was a little tired, most of the people came for the excitement, and most of the people who really cheered were small people dressed or brightly dressed, either high-ranking officials, nobles, rich businessmen, or servants brought by them. Thinking about it, now that the world has been decided, it has not yet turned to the prosperous era, and most of the people are still worried about food, clothing, housing and transportation. It's nice to be able to make up the numbers and watch the excitement.

Luo Shixin didn't care much about this face project, but he paid special attention to the scene of Chang'an: ancient Chang'an deserved to be the most luxurious national capital in ancient times, and the square areas were planned neatly and neatly.

This is the Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, the center of the world, and the destination of the Ten Thousand Dynasties.

Arrived at the Suzaku Gate, and the soldiers who went out to fight were rewarded at the Suzaku Gate.

Li Shimin brought Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde and other meritorious generals into the palace, and their votes were rewarded by Li Yuan himself.

The grandeur of the Taiji Palace was beyond Luo Shixin's expectations, and compared with the Forbidden City in his memory, he found that the Forbidden City was really weak.

In fact, the predecessor of Taiji Palace is the Daxing Palace of the Sui Dynasty, presided over the construction by the architect Yu Wenkai, strict planning of brick and tile, extremely exquisite, majestic, nearly six Forbidden City size, its majesty can be imagined.

Li Yuan led hundreds of officials in the main hall of the Taiji Hall to meet with heroes such as Li Shimin and Luo Shixin.

The Taiji Hall is divided into the main hall, the east hall and the west hall. Needless to say, the West Hall was the place where the emperor lived. The main hall is only gathered here for important state events such as the New Year's Day Dynasty, the new emperor's accession to the throne, the amnesty and the change of the Yuan, and the huge political decision-making. And the East Hall is where the emperor really handles his daily official duties.

Li Yuan chose to meet the heroes in the main hall of the Taiji Palace, which shows the importance he attaches to this victory.

"Meet the Emperor!" Li Shimin, the general of Tiance, took the lead, and led the cadres behind him, General Li Tang, to kneel on the ground.

"Hahahaha...... Everyone, please get up, please get up! Li Yuan was very happy, with an excited face, he stood up from the dragon chair, expressed his joy, and said with a smile: "You Aiqing is worthy of my Tang Dynasty pillars, the battle of the water is wonderful and beautiful, I heard the good news, and I am happy that I can't sleep at night!" ”

"Thanks, Your Majesty, we can achieve such a magnificent victory!" Who said that straight men can't make sycophants, not to mention Li Shimin and Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin, and Wei Chi Jingde also roared hoarsely, making Luo Shixin look big and small below, and the victory was the result of the bloody battle between the soldiers and the soldiers, what was the matter, and secretly glanced at Li Yuan. Although Li Yuan is over half a hundred years old, he does not see any old age, except for his face is a little pale with excessive wine, his eyes are sharp, his forehead is broad, and his appearance is dignified. No wonder Li Shimin and Princess Pingyang are handsome and beautiful, and their father's excellent genes are on display.

Li Yuan opened the credit book presented by Li Shimin, turned to the first page, and his eyes naturally fell on Luo Shixin.

"What a young hero!" Li Yuan praised it with a smile, and then said loudly: "Luo Shixin listens to the envelope!" ”

"The minister is here!" Luo Shixin took a step forward and responded loudly, inevitably feeling a little excited in his heart, not knowing what reward he would get.

Li Yuan Zhengrong said: "Luo Shixin, the governor of Jiangzhou, the prince of the country, according to the guard of the water with 400 remnants to resist tens of thousands of troops under the city, bloody battle for eight days, and the plan of water attack to help the army break the enemy, and capture the enemy chief Liu Heimin to capture the Zhou, the great meritorious, love Qing Jing loyal to the country, resolute and resolute, the front of the first hundred battles, the enemy of the air cover Wanfu, specially awarded the right Xiaowei general, the seal of the pillar country, and increase the food of 100 households. In addition, the position of the right Xiaowei general is vacant, and the general can temporarily take over the power of the general and engage. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers of civil and military affairs in the palace were in an uproar.

Luo Shixin was a little stunned, and even forgot about Xie En.

Li Shimin was stunned at first, and then his eyes couldn't help but look at the seat closest to the throne under Li Yuan...... The crown prince Li Jiancheng stood calmly, with an extraordinary bearing.

Luo Shixin is fundamentally different from Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin, and Wei Chi Jingde.

Don't look at Qin Qiong and Cheng Biting Jin are much older than Luo Shixin, but Luo Shixin, who is only twenty years old in Li Tang, is much higher than Qin Qiong and Cheng Biting Jin.

At the beginning, Luo Shixin was dissatisfied with Wang Shichong, and directly returned to Li Tang with a vote of his younger brother. However, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin directly threw themselves into Li Shimin's command. The value of defection is different, and the status is naturally different.

When Luo Shixin defected, because he had soldiers and horses, Li Yuan directly appointed him as the head of the Shaanzhou Dao march, and commanded the Shaanzhou Dao soldiers and horses to lead the troops to fight alone. Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin were assigned to serve under Li Shimin, and later became one of the generals in the Tiance Mansion. When Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin led the guards of the Qin Palace, Luo Shixin was already in charge of the local military and political power in Jiangzhou.

Although Luo Shixin often gave orders to Li Shimin, thanks to his courage and good fighting, Li Shimin temporarily transferred him to obey orders, strictly speaking, Luo Shixin was not Li Shimin's direct subordinate, but an independent general similar to Li Jing and Li Shiji, Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and was able to lead the army alone.

Luo Shixin did make great contributions in the campaign against Liu Heimin, but he was not Li Shimin, and he did not reach the point where there was no reward and no seal.

Increase the number of households by 100 households, no problem, and it is natural to seal the Shangzhu Kingdom. But there is a big problem with the right Xiaowei general leading the right Xiaowei general's power.
