In June, Li Shimin pacified Liu Wuzhou, unified the northern part of the Central Plains, and returned to Beijing in victory.

On the day the army returned to Beijing, the people of Chang'an City ran out, wanting to see the demeanor of King Qin and the fierce generals.

Although there was an army to maintain order, the people were too enthusiastic, and Li Shimin and others rode horses for two hours before walking to the palace gate.

Li Yuan greeted them at the gate of the palace and praised them in public, and after that, a celebration banquet was held in the palace.

On the second day of the court meeting, Li Yuan rewarded everyone according to his military merits, and named Li Zhongwen as the governor of the inspection school and the state, and guarded the state.

Liu Wenjing was also rewarded for his military exploits, but when he learned that Pei Lian's army was defeated and unharmed, and his favor was better than before, his heart was extremely unhappy.

After the reward is completed, it is the punishment for the fall of the annexed state.

After Li Yuan returned to the court, he put Yuwenxin in prison.

He said privately to Li Gang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites: "Bingzhou is the place where the Tang Dynasty arose, Chen soldiers are 100,000, and corn can be used for ten years, why is it so easily lost?"

"When I was young, I sent Yu Wenxin and Dou Dan to assist King Qi and guard the state. However, when the enemy invaded, Yuwenxin did not persuade the king of Qi, so that the king of Qi abandoned his army and fled, resulting in the fall of the state.

"So, I should punish Yu Wenxin severely."

Hearing this, Li Gang said solemnly: "Your Majesty's words are wrong, and the fall of Bingzhou is not Yu Wenxin's sin, but Dou Dan's sin.

"At the beginning, if Yu Wenxin hadn't gone to the Eastern Turks and dispelled the idea of the Eastern Turks sending troops to help Xue Ju attack Chang'an, Chang'an might not be as stable as it is now.

"Yu Wenxin has made great contributions, and after he came to the King of Qi, he must persuade the King of Qi to make mistakes, and he also played His Majesty.

But he didn't stay with King Qi for a long time, and it is understandable that he didn't persuade King Qi this time.

"Dou Dan is different, he has been with the King of Qi for a long time, but he did not persuade him in time when the King of Qi was over, but instead made mistakes, and the loss of the state was all Dou Rail's fault.

"Therefore, Your Majesty should punish Dou Dan."

Li Yuan was silent and did not answer.

After a while, Li Yuan ordered Li Gang to step back and sit alone on the imperial couch to think about this matter.

On the second day, after Li Yuan figured it out, he ordered Yu Wenxin to be released and his official title restored.

And said to Li Gang: "If there is no you this time, I am afraid that I will abuse the lynching, and you must speak more in the future, don't let me make a big mistake." ”

After speaking, he pulled Li Gang onto the royal couch and treated him with great courtesy.

Li Gang was flattered, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty's words are serious, and the ministers should do their best to serve Your Majesty and be loyal to the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Yuan was very satisfied with Li Gang's performance.

In the end, for the handling of the fall of Bingzhou, Li Yuan rewarded Yu Wenxin and punished Li Yuanji and Dou Dan, but did not punish him heavily.

Baiguan knew very well in his heart that Yu Wenxin was not guilty, and the culprits of this incident were Li Yuanji and Dou Dan. But Li Yuanji is His Majesty's son-in-law, Dou Dan is His Majesty's son-in-law, and His Majesty is reluctant to punish anyone, so His Majesty just lightly exposed this matter.

Therefore, the officials did not raise any objections.

......

After the army returned to the court, Wang Yu was busy collecting the details of the war in Bingzhou and publishing a new war album.

"Second brother, sign my name for these albums."

Wang Yu walked into the eldest grandson's room with a stack of picture albums and said to Li Shimin, who was teasing his son.

Li Shimin did not sign her autograph, but sat down and slowly admired the album.

Wang Yu was not in a hurry, walked to the side of the eldest grandson, and teased Li Chengqian with her.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that the threshold of the Qin Wangfu has been broken by the matchmaker recently, is it true?" Wang Yu thought of what Zuo Si had reported to her, and asked the eldest grandson.

"What you said is a bit exaggerated, but there are quite a few matchmakers who have come to Qin Wangfu recently." The eldest grandson said with a smile: "In addition to the official media, there are also ladies from various provinces, all of whom are here to protect the media for the generals of the Qin Wangfu. ”

Then, the eldest grandson told her in detail about a few family affairs, which were about Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling and others.

Wang Yu secretly wrote down the names of those little ladies, and prepared to go back and send Wang Kangda to check on these people.

At this time, Li Shimin finished reading the album and asked, "Xiao Yu'er, why do you want me to sign the album?" ”

Wang Yu walked over and said with a smile: "Because of the second brother's signature, my albums can be sold for more money." ”

Today's King Qin has a title among the people, that is, "God of War".

There is a picture album signed by the "God of War", and it is still a limited edition, which is naturally a hot thing.

Li Shimin thought of what the eldest grandson told him last night, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were proud.

Now that he has more prestige than the crown prince, in time, the courtiers will also fall to his side.

"Okay, I'll sign it for you."

Li Shimin signed ten albums for Wang Yu in one go, and said unsatisfactorily: "Is there still a picture album?" I've signed it all for you. ”

"Of course there are albums, but you can only sign ten copies, this kind of thing, too much of it, it's worthless." Wang Yu said while collecting the album: "Rare things are expensive. ”

The eldest grandson suddenly asked, "Xiao Yu'er, have you been short of money recently?" ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin looked over.

Wang Yu nodded heavily: "Yes, I have been particularly short of money recently." ”

The eldest grandson immediately instructed Sang Zhong to open the treasury and moved two boxes of money to Wang Yu.

Wang Yu's eyes lit up, but he didn't accept it, but looked at Li Shimin: "The daily expenses of the Qin Palace's mansion are large, and the second brother and sister-in-law should keep the money for themselves, I don't need it." ”

Seeing Wang Yu's gaze, the eldest grandson said to Li Shimin: "I will take out a little money from my dowry and give it to Xiao Yu'er, presumably Erlang should have no opinion." ”

"There is an opinion." Li Shimin said solemnly.

The eldest grandson and Wang Yu were stunned at the same time.

The next moment, Li Shimin continued: "Give Xiao Yu'er money, you can't take it from your dowry, you should take it from the public middle school account." ”

So, Li Shimin instructed Zheng Rentai: "Go to the account room to pay four boxes of money and send someone to the Jinyang Princess's Mansion." ”

"Yes." Zheng Rentai immediately went to do it.

Wang Yu was overjoyed: "Thank you second brother, thank you sister-in-law." ”

......

Out of the Qin Palace, Wang Yu thought about it, and took ten more albums for Li Jiancheng to sign.

Li Jiancheng did not refuse her and happily signed her.

Then, she took a small part of the album and went to Cheng Zhijie, Qin Shubao and others to sign it.

Li Yuan heard that Wang Yu was looking for autographs in Chang'an City with a picture album, so he summoned her into the palace.

"I heard that you recently took the album to find someone to sign it, and you also asked the prince and the king of Qin to sign it, why didn't you come to sign for your father?"

Wang Yu put the new Shiwen newspaper and picture album on Li Yuan's bookcase and answered his question: "There are very few signed picture albums, and I am going to put them in the Shiwen Society and sell them at a high price."

"It doesn't matter much when I sold me the annotation you gave me before, but if it's your autograph, it's not good.

"After all, it's a gift from the emperor, and I'm afraid of losing my head if I sell it, so I decided that in the future, whether it's your annotation or signature, as long as it's your handwriting, I won't sell it."

Li Yuan: "......"
