Chapter 268 The World is Settled

After seeing Yan Xun, Guanyin felt quite satisfied, looking at her calm posture and gentle and mellow speech, it can be seen that she is a person with a demure personality.

Looking at Yan Xun's behavior and demeanor are not bewitching, her appearance is pure and beautiful, although she is still young now, she has not yet grown, and she still looks a little green, but in a few years, she will definitely become a peerless beauty.

As for whether Li Shimin likes such a budding flower or not, Guanyin didn't think much about it. But she was sure that bringing Yan Jing in would at least not be harmful to the Qin Palace.

------

For Wei Jue, who is going to see each other in the afternoon, Guanyin has to weigh it carefully, it is a woman who has experienced the vicissitudes of the world.

Such a woman is no better than Yan Jing, who has never been in the world, once her morality is not good, she may stir up the Qin Palace.

After entering the mansion, Wei Jue can't be equated with an ordinary concubine, she has a powerful maternal family as a backstage, even if Guanyin is not satisfied in the future, she can't be easily disposed of.

Let Wei Jue not enter the Qin Palace, Guanyin has to be extra careful, rather than becoming a hot yam in the future, it is better to block her from coming in now.

------

But the look at each other in the afternoon was completely unexpected by Guanyin.

Na Wei Jue is neither the stupid big man she imagined, nor an old and sophisticated scheming woman, but a white lotus that blooms quietly in the pond.

------

Just after the afternoon, when Guanyin came to the Qianqiu Hall as promised, Wei Jue had already arrived for a long time, and was accompanying Wan Guifei to do needlework seriously.

Hearing that Guanyin was coming, she turned her face to look back at the temple door, gently put the work in her hand back into the needlework basket, slowly stood up, and waited for Guanyin to come in.

Seeing Guanyin walking to her, she first smiled at Guanyin, then slowly crossed her hands and knees to salute Guanyin, and whispered to Guanyin, "Blessed princess."

That sound of blessing is quiet and gentle, with a gentleness like water.

------

Guanyin returned the salute with a smile, turned her gaze from Wei Wei to Wan Guifei, and guessed, "Aunt has a rare guest here, looking at this figure, it must be Wei Niangzi from the Yunguo Mansion."

Wan Guifei nodded with a smile, and followed with an introduction, "Ah Wan guessed well, she is the eldest daughter of Yun Guogong."

Guanyin turned her gaze back, and Wei Jue still smiled and signaled to Guanyin, her eyes did not dodge or avoid, and her smile was sincere.

-----

I saw Wei Jue in a green shirt and blue skirt, wearing a white floral half-arm, combing a bun, inserting a hosta, and lightly applying some powder on her face, like fresh water and smoke, the whole person is simple and elegant.

She is smiling, dignified and beautiful, between her gestures, the movement is in harmony, Guanyin has rarely seen such a noble and elegant woman.

She stood there, half a body taller than Guanyin, but her body was well-proportioned, and she didn't make people feel like she was standing alone like a bamboo pole at all.

------

Guanyin only looked at Wei Jue, but forgot to let her sit down.

Wei Jue's pink lips opened slightly, and she smiled gently to hide her embarrassment, "Has the princess never seen such a tall woman as a concubine?"

Guanyin nodded with a smile, "Wei Niangzi quickly sat down and spoke, this concubine has seen a man who is so tall, and she has indeed never seen a woman who is so tall and so good-looking."

Guanyin and Wei Qi sat down next to Wan Guifei while talking, and Wei Jue also sat down solemnly opposite several cases, with a dignified and natural expression, without the slightest restraint, as if sitting like this is her usual norm.

------

After introducing each other, Wan Guifei and Wei Jue began to do needlework, and the two of them chatted with Guanyin without saying a word while making female red.

Guanyin saw that although Wei Jue's work was unhappy, it was extremely delicate, so she boasted, "Wei Niangzi's work is really meticulous."

Wei Qi said while walking with needlework, "The cheap concubine was not good at being a woman before, and she has nothing to do at home all these years, so she learns while doing, and she is a little bit proficient."

Speaking of the past, Wei Jue did not shy away from saying that he had married.

------

Guanyin saw Wei Jue, as if she had seen a confidant, and the three of them chatted in the Qianqiu Hall for more than an hour before Guanyin said goodbye and left.

In this way, within one day, Guanyin saw two concubines of the family who wanted to enter the Qin Palace.

In the evening, she told Li Shimin about the situation one by one, Li Shimin asked Guanyin what she thought, Guanyin thought that Wei Qi and Yan Jing were not bad, so the two of them made up their minds and agreed to let the two of them enter the Qin Palace.

------

Now that Li Shimin and Guanyin have reached an agreement, it is no longer a big deal for Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to take a concubine.

The Wei family and the Yan family are looking forward to sending their daughters to the Qin Palace, because they are concubines, there are no longer the cumbersome rules of three media and six certificates, as long as the Qin Palace's dowry is given, and a good day can be used to connect people to the Qin Palace.

After Wei Qi and Yan Jing entered the Qin Palace, Li Shimin put Wei Qi as a widow and Yan Jing as a concubine, and there was no need to ask Li Yuan's consent to report to the Ministry of Officials, and everything would be fine.

------

After Li Shimin's concubine was completed, it was October of the fourth year of Wude.

At this time, unexpected good news came from Jiangnan.

Li Jing assisted Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun, and defeated Xiao Mill with a clever plan, Li Xiaogong sent Xiao Mill to Chang'an, Li Yuan was angry that he did not know the current affairs, and ordered Xiao Mill to be beheaded.

Seeing that the general trend has gone, the states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River have looked at the wind and descended.

Because of Li Jingping's meritorious service, Li Yuan issued an edict, named Li Jing as the Shangzhu State, gave him the title of Duke of Yongkang County, and ordered him to appease Lingnan.

------

By October of the fourth year of Wude, the inherent territory of the original Sui Dynasty and Huaiji still had Du Fuwei entrenched; Between Shandong and Huaibian, there are still Dou Jiande's old departments, Liu Heimin, and Xu Yuanlang making trouble; From time to time, there were Turkic raids in the north.

In November, Li Yuan ordered Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, to go to Shandong and Hebei to crusade against Liu Heimin.

------

Li Shimin led his elite troops to Shandong, and together with tens of thousands of soldiers and soldiers of Li Yi, the governor of Youzhou, they fought against Liu Heimin, experienced several battles, and finally formed a confrontation with Liu Heimin's 20,000 people on both sides of the river.

Liu Heimin camped in the north of the water, and Li Shimin camped in the south of the water.

Li Shimin set up a decisive battle plan, divided his troops to watch Liu Heimin in the north of the river, sent the fine tax cavalry to cut off his grain route, and ordered his subordinates to go deep and high in the ditch and not fight with Liu Heimin.

When Liu Heimin's food is exhausted, if Liu Heimin withdraws, he will take advantage of the victory to pursue; If they take the initiative to seek battle, they will gather and annihilate them.

------

In March of the fifth year of Wude, the two armies held each other for two months, and Liu Heimin's army was exhausted, so he could only make a desperate bet and lead the army to cross the river with 20,000 horses to fight with the Tang army.

Li Shimin personally led the Xuanjia soldiers to rush into the enemy formation, first destroy its cavalry, and then take advantage of the victory to cover and kill the infantry.

Liu Heimin was unable to resist the enemy, so he fled to the Turks with 200 cavalry, and the rest of the troops were annihilated.

Since then, all the land of Shandong has been pacified.

------

In April, Li Shimin was ready to lead Hebei troops to Henan to conquer Xu Yuanlang, and Li Yuan urgently summoned Li Shimin to return to Chang'an.

Li Shimin temporarily handed over the army to Li Yuanji and returned to Chang'an to meet Li Yuan.

Li Yuan greeted Li Shimin at the Changle Palace outside Chang'an City, but after meeting, there was nothing important.

It's just that after Li Shimin and Li Yuanji left on the expedition, Li Jiancheng returned to the dynasty with his class, and Li Shimin was not around, Li Yuan was a little uneasy.

So Li Yuan recalled Li Shimin back to Beijing, hoping that he would stay in Chang'an.

------

After Li Shimin saw Li Yuan, he analyzed the current situation for him, "Now that the domain has been basically calmed, only Du Fuwei between Huaiji and Xu Yuanlang between Huai and Ji are left, and they should take advantage of the victory to pursue and clear the domain, and then go all out to deal with the Turks."

"If we delay and don't quickly sweep away Du Fuwei and Xu Yuanlang, the other remnants may resurge."

Li Yuan listened to Li Shimin's suggestion and sent Li Shimin to Liyang in the north of the Yellow River again to take over the army and continue to conquer Xu Yuanlang and Du Fuwei.

------

Li Shimin led the army to the south, broke Xu Yuanlang, and connected more than a dozen cities.

Du Fuwei saw that Xu Yuanlang was already dying, and he was afraid that the end of his hand would come.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Du Fuwei weighed the pros and cons, and led his prefectures and counties to surrender to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was overjoyed and named Du Fuwei as the crown prince, ranking above Li Yuanji, which can be described as a favor.

------

In July, Li Shimin saw that Xu Yuanlang was no longer in trouble, so he left Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, and Li Shichang, the head of the marching army, to continue to clear the remnants of Xu Yuanlang's forces, and led the army back to Chang'an.

At this point, the original internal territory of the Sui Dynasty had been basically pacified, and the main threat was only the Turks in the north.

------

In September, Li Yuan appointed Li Shimin as the commander of the left and right 12 guards.

The so-called twelve guards refer to: left and right Xiao guards, left and right military guards, left and right Wei Weiwei, left and right leading guards, left and right Jinwu guards, and left and right prison guards.

Left and right guards, left and right military guards, left and right mighty guards, left and right leading guards, these eight guards are in charge of the palace ban and the guards.

Left and right Jin Wuwei, these two guards are in charge of the palace, the capital patrol, and the guard.

The left and right guards are in charge of the guards of the capital and the palace.

------

Li Yuan appointed Li Shimin to lead the left and right twelve guard generals, which was to hand over the right to guard the capital and the palace to Li Shimin.

This is also equivalent to Li Yuan putting his life in the hands of Li Shimin.

------

In October, Liu Heimin, who fled to the Turks with 200 horsemen, colluded with the Turks to return to Shandong to make a rebellion, and within a few days thousands of people were gathered.

Li Yuan issued an edict and ordered Li Yuanji to lead the troops of the state to crusade against Liu Heimin.

Li Yuanji was afraid of Liu Heimin and did not dare to enter the army.

------

The crown prince Zhongyun Wang Qi and the crown prince Xima Wei Zheng suggested to Li Jiancheng, "King Qin's achievements cover the world, and China and foreign countries return to their hearts; Although His Royal Highness occupies the position of the crown prince because of his old age, he has not made great achievements in subduing the sea."

"Now Liu Heimin is leading a rabble, less than 10,000 people. If a large army is sent to conquer and suppress, it will be like destroying the withering and decaying. Your Highness should take this opportunity to establish meritorious deeds, and at the same time make friends with Shandong heroes, so that is the way to self-peace."

Li Jiancheng listened to the advice of Wang Qi and Wei Zheng and asked Li Yuan for his life to ask Liu Heimin.

Li Yuan readily agreed, and ordered Li Jiancheng to lead the troops of Henan, Hebei, and Shandong Prefectures to join forces with Li Yuanji to pacify Shandong.

------

In the first month of the sixth year of Wude, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji wiped out the remnants of Liu Heimin in one fell swoop and beheaded Liu Heimin.

In February, Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, and Li Shichang, the head of the march, swept away the remnants of Xu Yuanlang, and Xu Yuanlang was killed by the rebellious army.

Since then, the Unai has been pacified, and only the northern Turks have been left to harass the border from time to time.

------

Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, China has been in chaos for several years, but if it is calm today, the people can finally live and work in peace and contentment.

But in the deep palace, above the temple, a life-and-death battle for the heir is slowly brewing.
