Li Shimin and Li Yuan discussed for nearly half an hour before leaving the Wude Palace.

Back at his residence, Li Shimin thought that the eldest grandson had rested, but he didn't expect that the candles in the room were bright, and the eldest grandson was sitting on the bed reading with a book.

"Why haven't you slept so late?" Li Shimin gently took the book in her hand.

The eldest grandson smiled gently: "I'm not sleepy, I just want to wait for you to come back and sleep." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin's heart softened, his eyes were gentle like water, he waved away the maid ring in the house, and then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to her: "This is the letter from Xiao Yu'er to you?" ”

"Xiao Yu'er's letter to me?"

The eldest grandson was pleasantly surprised, looking at the familiar font on the envelope, his heart suddenly warmed, and he couldn't wait to open it and take a look.

Li Shimin sat down beside her in a dignified manner and read the letter together.

The letter didn't say a word about the mission, but just picked out a few interesting things to share with the eldest grandson, and said that she was fine now, don't worry, and so on.

In short, it is to report good news and not bad news, and it is written very trivially.

Despite this, Li Shimin was still a little unhappy, "It's just that you don't write to me, and I was not mentioned in the letter I wrote to you."

"Hmph, this conscienceless little girl!"

With a heavy grunt, a sour smell spread through the air.

The eldest grandson couldn't help laughing: "Write it to me, isn't it just to write it to you?" ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin's anger dissipated a little.

The eldest grandson put away his smile and said seriously: "Erlang, is Xiao Yu'er really safe in Hebei?" Don't lie to me. ”

"Safety."

Li Shimin only paused for a very short time, and answered the question of the eldest grandson almost without thinking.

The eldest grandson put his mind at ease, and as if he were a treasure, he folded the letter, put it in an envelope, and placed it in the cabinet where he usually stored important objects.

Li Shimin silently watched her movements, "By the way, don't tell Xiao Yu'er about writing a letter to you, and don't tell Sister A, lest she taste it." ”

The eldest grandson responded, looked back at Li Shimin, and said jokingly: "I think it's not just Sister A who will taste it. ”

Li Shimin paused, then glared at her angrily, brushed his sleeves and left.

"I'm going to take a bath."

Li Jiancheng sat on the couch and quietly listened to the proclamation of the guards.

“...... The subordinates followed all the way, and King Tang and Qin Guogong entered a deserted palace, and not long after, a loud noise came from inside. Because there were guards outside, the subordinates didn't dare to get too close, so they didn't know what they were doing inside. ”

It turned out that the first loud bang was not fireworks, they made it.

"After that, King Tang and the others returned to the Wude Palace, Wang Kangda stayed in it for a quarter of an hour before coming out, and Qin Guogong stayed for another half an hour before coming out."

After listening to this, Li Jiancheng waved his hand: "You go down." ”

Leaning on the soft pillow, Li Jiancheng half-squinted, wondering in his heart, what are his father and Erlang doing?

What's going on with that loud bang?

Thinking about it, he fell asleep.

The next day, Li Yuan rewarded Wang Kangda and Hao Shou and other 100 Xuanjia soldiers, and went to the place where the equipment was made in the palace for a turn, and instructed the master Su to speed up his movements and make more equipment.

Then gather all the princes together and take counsel about the enlargement.

After the discussion, Li Yuan asked Li Jiancheng: "Is there any news from Luoyang?" ”

Li Jiancheng replied: "Not yet." ”

After opening his mouth several times, Li Jiancheng wanted to ask his father what was going on with that loud noise last night, but he swallowed the words back to his mouth.

Li Yuan didn't notice his abnormality, and ordered him: "Send more people to inquire about Luoyang's movements." ”

"Yes, Aya."

--------

At the beginning of January, the person sent by Liu Heimin to Luoyang to inquire about the news returned.

"Emperor Yang Guang did send more than a dozen people to Qinzhou, Shuofang, Mayi and other places a year ago, and now he has not returned to Luoyang.

"On the Shangyuan Festival, Luoyang celebrates with the city, and the emperor goes out of the palace to have fun with the people, and he does not return to the palace until dawn."

Dou Jiande was thoughtful, silent, and asked, "How is the Luoyang army?" Are Li Mi and Wang Shichong still at war? ”

"Li Mi and Wang Shichong have made a truce, although hundreds of thousands of troops have been stationed outside Luoyang City, they have not been drilled, and the emperor has not issued an order to conquer Li Mi."

It seems that what Yang Guang said in his letter is true.

"Go down."

Dou Jiande looked at Wei Zheng: "What does Xuan Cheng think about this?" ”

Wei Zheng thought for a while: "Since Yang Guang is going to hold a big feast, then there will definitely be news on the bright side later, let's prepare secretly first and see the actions of all parties." ”

"Hyun Sung has a point." Dou Jiande bowed his head and asked Wang Yu: "By the way, how is Wang Yu's injury?" ”

Wang Yu's injury has not healed, and he has never asked her about the progress of the craftsman's study.

Liu Heimin tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "That little girl is really a leather monkey, her hand is not broken, and she is almost good." Yesterday, he came to my house, saying that he was ordered to learn martial arts, and he had to fight with me. ”

He sneered: "Hehe, the little girl is really good at making up." ”

"I did say let each of you generals teach her two tricks." Dou Jiande said.

“......”

Liu Heimin's smile froze at the corners of his mouth, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

Dou Jiande saw it in his eyes and continued: "I forgot about this matter, and I will send someone to the prefectures to talk about it later." By the way, you didn't do anything to Wang Yu, did you? ”

Liu Heimin hesitated: "...... I...... Dislocated her hand. ”

Seeing Dou Jiande's black face, Liu Heimin hurriedly said, "However, I called the doctor in time to help her reset her arm." ”

"I told you that Wang Yu saved Lin Zhiwu and couldn't make a move on her, did you take my words as a deaf ear?" Dou Jiande accentuated his tone and looked angry.

"I was wrong, not next time." Liu Heimin quickly admitted his mistake.

Of course, Dou Jiande is also responsible, he didn't give the order in time, so he symbolically reprimanded Liu Heimin two sentences, and then exposed the matter.

Next, Dou Jiande frequently convened the ministers and generals to discuss the deployment.

-------------

Time flies, and it's the beginning of February in a blink of an eye.

As soon as it entered February, Yang Guang's edict shocked the world.

In the edict, Yang Guang stated his merits and mistakes, and apologized to the people of the world. He also publicly stated that he would not investigate the crime of the previous rebellion, and called on all separatist forces in the Central Plains to go to Luoyang to participate in the Shangsi Festival feast.

He will hold a contest at the feast of the Shangsi Festival, a literary test and a military test, and the leader of the final victorious side will be elected as the co-lord of the world, that is, the emperor.

At the end of the edict it reads: "...... For the sake of the people of the world, I want to emulate the emperor Shun, pass on the people who have both virtue and virtue, stop the war, and return the peace and prosperity of the people of the world......"

This edict seemed to spread all over the Central Plains Continent overnight, and the streets were known and heard.

Originally, after seeing the envoy sent by Yang Guang, the various forces always held an attitude of disbelief in their hearts, until they saw the edict printed with the emperor's jade seal, and they believed what the envoy said.

It turned out that Yang Guang did not lie to them, nor did he want to recruit them, but really wanted a Zen position.

Realizing this, they were ecstatic, if they could take the emperor's throne without fighting, and they could also be recognized by the royal family of the Sui Dynasty and the people of the world, and it would be very good if they were justified and moral.

Everyone else had seen the envoy before receiving the edict, and only Li Yuan and Li Mi had seen the envoy and the edict at the same time.

Li Yuan held the edict in his hand, and his mood was very complicated.......
