In the second year of Wude, Chang'an.

Daxing Palace is located in the northernmost part of Chang'an City, standing in the south of the dragon's head, high in the north and low in the south.

There are ten gates in Daxing Palace, Chengtian Gate is the main gate in the south of Taiji Palace, the Han people respect the south, and Chengtian Gate is the weight of ten gates.

And the north gate Xuanwu Gate, take the Xuanwu among the four elephants, because it sits on the top of the dragon head plain, so it overlooks on the gate tower of this gate, Taiji Palace can be seen at a glance, so on the use of soldiers, Xuanwu Gate is the key point of the palace gate.

With the defeat of Xue Ju and the subjugation of Hedong, Li Shimin gave Li Yuan the residence of the Qiandian Palace, and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, although he lost Taiyuan County and lost his army and land, Li Yuan remembered that he was young and did not understand military affairs, and did not blame him, and gave him the Wude Palace to live.

In addition, the crown prince Li Jiancheng lived in the East Palace, so the three brothers all lived in the Daxing Palace.

Li Yuan gave permission, and the crown prince and the two kings of Qin and Qi entered and exited the emperor's bedroom, and they were all allowed to ride horses, bring attendants, carry knives, bows and sundries, and only salute each other according to their families.

Chang'an on New Year's Day is a colorful glow to welcome the dawn, and ten thousand red candles move the sky.

The New Year's Day meeting in the second year of Wude is a good day for Li Tang, who is currently thriving.

Hundreds of officials stepped through the Chengtian Gate in the south, entered the Taiji Palace, and worshiped the Tang lord Li Yuan, and then went to the East Palace to worship the crown prince Li Jiancheng.

After that, Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Yuanji, and Li Zhiwan all sued the Taimiao.

According to the ritual system, there are seven temples for the Son of Heaven and five temples for the princes. The so-called seven temples, four relatives, two ancestors and ancestors.

In the temple, the left Zhao and the right Mu, the temple is centered in the ancestral temple, facing the east, the second, fourth, and sixth are located on the left side of the ancestor, facing south, called Zhao; The third, fifth, and seventh are located on the right, facing north, and are called Mu.

After Li Yuan ascended the throne, he posthumously respected the VII, and also posthumously honored the famous minister Gao Tao of Yao Shun, the ancestor of the Li family, for Emperor Deming, Laozi Li Er, for the great sage ancestor, and Li Wei, the founder of Xiliang, for the Xingsheng Emperor.

After the sacrifice to the Taimiao, Li Yuan gave a banquet in the Eryi Hall after the Taiji Palace, and ordered the sons and ministers to bring their families to the banquet and enjoy with the monarchs and ministers.

Li Yuan was dressed in a dragon robe, his face was full of red light, and he was exchanging glasses with Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County.

Li Xiaogong broke 30 states for Li Tang and collected more than 30 states in Sichuan and Shu, and Li Yuan was very fond of this cousin.

And Li Xiaogong was wearing a silk robe, his appearance was mediocre, and he smiled a little kindly, not at all like the appearance of a commander of a party. This person is courteous and soothing to those who are subservient. There are more than 30 states in Sichuan and Shu, and most of them are determined by transmission, which is not only related to Li Tang's current trend, but also a reason for appointing the law.

After Li Yuan and Li Xiaogong had a drink, several important ministers such as Pei Lin stepped forward to toast with him. Li Yuan was in a very good mood today, so he didn't refuse, and his face was already flushed after a few glasses of wine.

Turning his head to look, the hall was full of joy, many of them were old officials in the Sui Dynasty, who used to be ministers in the same hall with themselves, and now they are his subordinates, and the rest of the sons, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and Li Shimin are also toasting and befriending the ministers and generals.

When Li Jiancheng was the prince, he was good at winning people's hearts, and now he is the prince, and this method is even more familiar. As for Li Shimin, he has long been supported by the generals in the army, so he has gathered a group of people who are not inferior to Li Jiancheng, as for Li Yuanji, he is still a little immature, but in recent years, he has also made progress and learned from his two brothers.

Li Yuan saw that his sons were so powerful, and he couldn't help but be happy.

At this time, the eunuch on the side just removed a palace lamp, and after Li Yuan saw the palace lamp, he had a back and a hand.

Li Yuan was overwhelmed by the words of the ministers and retreated into the corridor.

"Sanniang, what are you looking at?"

Li Zhiwan turned around, saw Li Yuan on her side, and said, "See my father, my sons just don't like such a banquet." ”

Li Yuan listened to it and said with a smile: "I forgot, you have always been like this. You see, these are all important ministers in the palace who have newly attached to my Li Tang, and several of them have to marry me, so they must take advantage of this. ”

Li Zhi said politely: "Erchen knows it, but when I think of the Jinyang family banquet, although there are not so many people, I don't live in such a big palace, and I don't have such a sumptuous banquet, but on that day, my father will teach me to draw tigers, the eldest brother will take us to set off firecrackers, the second brother will compete with me for arrows, Xuanba will beat the drum on the side, and the fourth brother will also pester me and say that he doesn't like to eat Wuxin plate the most." It's just that from now on, I'm afraid there will never be this opportunity again. ”

Li Yuan laughed when he heard this, and said: "If you are childish, I will set up a banquet tomorrow, and a few people will have a light meal together, and it will be done soon." At present, Datang has been sitting on half of the world, and family affairs are national affairs, but you can't be like at the beginning, you have to adapt. In the past year, you have laid down Chang'an for the Li family, and from Chang'an to Jinyang, from Jinyang to Luzhou, and have been running for a long time, I will let you go back to Beijing and gather together for family fun, don't think too much about other things. ”

Li Zhiwan heard the word family affairs as state affairs, and couldn't help but say: "Father, I just returned to Chang'an a few days ago, it seems that there is a discord between the eldest brother and the second brother, has my father noticed it?" ”

Li Yuan said with a smile: "In the family, the use of crockpots will also bump and bump, where there will be no differences between brothers, you are too careful." I think the two of them are very good. ”

Li Zhiwan was silent.

Li Yuan knew his daughter's thoughts, and since he was a child, he disagreed with her, so he didn't say a word.

But Li Yuan felt that his own family affairs, how could he not know as a father, and said with high spirits: "Sanniang, the battle for dominance of the world, now is just the beginning, although Xue Ju's father and son have just been pacified, but there are still Li Rail in Guanzhong, and Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, Li Chongjiu in Hebei, Dou Jiande, Yu Wenhua and Weifu, Li Mi in Henan, Wang Shichong, Du Fuwei in Huainan, Chen Ling in Yangzhou, Li Zitong, Shen Faxing, Jingxiang Xiao Milling. Jiuying is undecided, and each wants to tear the soil and be the king, and one party is lonely. I Jinyang raised troops, is to help the community, sweep, dominate the world, and lay down a forever country, this is only your brothers and sisters work together, as the saying goes, family and everything can prosper. ”

"Your Majesty, the King of Huai'an has something to ask to see."

"Got it." Li Yuan waved his hand.

Li Zhi said politely: "Father, the minister there has retired for the time being. ”

Li Yuan nodded, wanted to say something but stopped, and strode away immediately.

At night, Li Zhiwan walked the Eryi Palace, and looked back at the hall immersed in a song of merit and virtue and the song and dance of the warbler.

On the banks of the Luoshui River.

The Great Witch is dancing by the river with a mask.

Under the bonfire, countless soldiers under the command of Wang Shichong knelt on the ground with a reverent face, looking at the great witch.

Most of the soldiers under Wang Shichong's command were Huainan disciples, and the Chu people were good witches, so the soldiers and soldiers all believed in the great witches.

The Great Witch trembled twice and said vaguely: "Duke Zhou has a word, and soon after a plague descended, you all died here. ”

The Huainan army was all frightened when they heard this, knelt down and kowtowed, and a general asked loudly: "Dare to ask the master, does Zhou Gong have a way to crack it?" ”

The big witch's body trembled again and said: "The blockage of Luoshui is the crime of the Wei thief, and the whole army can have no worries if the Wei thief is broken." ”

Hearing the sorcerer's words, the soldiers all bowed down and said loudly: "Thank you Duke Zhou!" ”

In the city of Yanshi.

Wang Shichong was listening to the reply of his subordinates, and then laughed and said: "Such a military experience. ”

A general on the side said: "It's not Shangshu's clever calculation, our army is all Chu people, and they believe in witchcraft, and with the words of Zhou Gong's dream, let the soldiers work together, which is better than the money rewarded." ”

Wang Shichong smiled and said: "It's not so mysterious, but this time I monopolized the power and rewarded the soldiers with all the money and silk in the treasury, can they not die for me?" As for Li Mixin's broken Yu culture and the fact that there were many casualties among soldiers and horses, he did not take advantage of this to raise troops and repair armor, but braved the battle with light troops, which was a way to kill himself. Under the elimination of the other, if it can't be broken, what face does my Wang Shichong have to be a general. ”

"What the prince said is very true, this is Li Mizhi's short-sightedness."

"Li Mi is not a stupid person, it's just that Li Yuan has captured Guanzhong, Hedong, and Sichuan Shu at the moment, so he is eager to seize the eastern capital and fight against Li Yuan, but Yu speed is not up to it, if he doesn't have this idea, how can he give me Wang Shichong a chance, if the two armies really fight, I admit that I am definitely not Li Mi's opponent."

When all the generals heard this, they were all impressed, and said together: "Please rest assured that Shangshu will succeed in this battle." ”

In the second year of Wude, February is also the second year of Huangtai, February.

Li Mi ordered Wang Bo to guard Kim Yong Kim, and he was the best master of the army.

The ice and snow in Xinchun had not melted, and the cold wind was blowing in the face, and the Wagang sergeants marched into the army with their flags in the wind and snow.

The army walked through the road, and compared with the previous several times in the Eastern Capital, this time the Wagang sergeants looked a little tired, and the army was not in order.

Li Mi pressed the reins on his horse, watched the army march, and the veteran Pei Renji on the side said: "Duke Wei, Wang Shichong has led all the troops here, and Luoxia must be empty." Our army can divide the troops into several ways, all the way to attack the eastern capital, Wang Shichong returned, I can press the armor, Wang Shichong out, our army forced it. In this way, if we mobilize the enemy, our army will have spare strength, and the enemy army will be exhausted, and Wang Shichong will be broken. ”

Li Miyan said: "This is a great good, compared with our Wagang army, there are three things that cannot be done, one of them is the elite of the army, the bow and crossbow armor are better than our army, the second is to eat all and seek battle, will be bloody and brave, and third, it can be seen that Wang Shichong has decided to make a desperate bet, so he will come with all his might." If our army temporarily avoids its front, it is the best policy, so that Wang Shichong will be captured by me in less than ten days. ”

Fan Wenchao, the general of the Xiaoguo army on the side, said: "Pei Gong's words are wrong, our army's soldiers and horses are twice as high as Wang Shichong, and he has defeated his army several times, and his soldiers have really lost their courage in the face of our army, and now they can be broken in a battle, so why bother." ”

Fan Wenchao is the son of Fan Zigai, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who can speak well, and Li Mi respects Fan Zigai as a person, so he loves the house and Wu, and he also attaches great importance to his son.

After Fan Wenchao's words, the generals of the Wagang army sought to fight, and Wang Shichong had been defeated by Li Mi several times before, so the generals were not afraid of Wang Shichong's provocation again.

Li Mi listened to Fan Wenchao's words, and he was hesitant at the moment, seeing that all the generals were resolute, and he no longer objected, the veteran Pei Renji on the side tried his best to dissuade him, but he couldn't compete with the generals, and finally threw his helmet on the ground and said to everyone: "You will regret it when you wait for him."
