"He was beheaded by his men, but at his own request, he knew he was going to die, but he didn't have the courage to kill himself." Wang Jingguo saw Li Yuan staring at Li Jingsui's broken neck, so he explained in a low voice beside him.

Li Yuan nodded slightly, and sighed lightly: "This Li Jingsui, I saw it once or twice in Jinling three years ago, and at that time he was still an imperial brother who had no distractions and was in love with the landscape, alas! It's embarrassing to fall into such a fate today, but that's also self-inflicted.

It's just that the person is dead, after all, he was once a member of the royal family, so he can't be too contemptuous. In a few moments, you will have someone find a coffin to bury him, sew his head shut, clean his body, put on clean clothes, and tomorrow he will be sent back to Jinling with the coffin."

Wang Jingguo hurriedly said, "What are you going to do when you send it to Jinling?"

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Of course, we will bury him back to Jinling, and at the same time, let the people of Jinling and Jiangnan see that the Jin army has been completely wiped out by us, the Tang Dynasty is dead, and the Great Chu is prosperous, and the north and south of the great river can finally be at peace."

Wang Jingguo smacked his lips and said, "It's a beautiful thing to die."

Li Yuan smiled, waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, go to Huzhou City, this Huzhou Thorn Shi Qian Hongyi of Wu Yue Country is worthy of the royal demeanor, and he also specially arranged a celebration banquet for our Chu army in advance." Tell the soldiers that tonight I will reward the three armies, all of them will be rewarded, and the wine and meat will be enough! The war is over, and everyone is happy and lively."

......

Five days later, Liu Jiangsheng led 20,000 horse infantry to the city of Huzhou. The small city of Huzhou was about to be overcrowded, but it was difficult for the Chu army to enter the cities of other countries on a large scale, so they camped in the east of the city in accordance with Li Yuan's will, and only allowed Liu Jiangsheng to enter the city with his generals. After more than a month of separation, the brothers Li Yuan and Liu Jiangsheng met again, and both of them were very happy.

After a full meal in the afternoon, Li Yuan and Liu Jiangsheng sat in Huzhou City, sipping new tea and talking in a large courtyard specially vacated by Qian Hongyi.

The breeze blows through the trees with dense leaves, and a few clumps of bamboo rustle around them. In the corner of the yard, Qian Hongyi, the thorn of Huzhou, who knows how to enjoy life, has planted a lot of flowers and plants with his own hands, and has already bloomed a lot. Outside the eastern wall, the flowers are in full bloom, and the air is filled with the smell of warm flowers, especially in the warm sun. This situation made Li Yuan and Liu Jiangsheng feel very comfortable.

"Hey, I can finally take a breath. For more than a year, this chaotic situation in the north and south of the country has caused anger and resentment in the heavens, how many people have died, how many families have been harmed, and how many people have lost everything because of the war. And how much has this chaos changed, and how much impact it has caused. Now it's finally over, Datang is completely dead, and my Da Chu has finally officially taken his place. Hey!" Liu Jiangsheng sipped the tea and sighed softly.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Jiang Sheng, when did you become so emotional? Why, are you going to recite a poem to express your gratitude later?"

Liu Jiangsheng laughed and said, "Your Majesty, in front of you, how dare the ministers get an axe. The sigh is because we have experienced all this ourselves, and it may not have much impact on us, but for others, especially the people, I am afraid that it has experienced a nightmare. Your Majesty, do you know what the ministers have seen along the way after learning the news that the war has subsided and Li Jingsui has been conferred the title?

The people along the road beat gongs and drums happily, running to tell each other the good news, which can be described as ecstatic. On the night of Yasukuni's annihilation of the last Jin army's soldiers and horses, the minister's soldiers and horses were still in Xuanzhou, and the people sent by His Majesty to deliver a letter to the minister had not yet arrived, and all of them had already turned the world upside down. Xuanzhou City is two hundred miles away from here, and in this half a day, the news has spread, as if it has given birth to wings."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, the news spread very quickly. I estimated that in the past five days, I am afraid that the north and south of the country have all known the news. No matter how fast the horse is to deliver the message, it is not as fast as the mouths of the people. Even Gu Mingli, the Suzhou assassin of Wu Yueguo, sent someone to send a letter to congratulate him! Look, the news has arrived in Suzhou."

Liu Jiangsheng smiled and said, "Gu Mingli? I heard that His Majesty went to Suzhou to have a relationship with his Gu family, haha, is the eldest lady of the Gu family born beautiful?"

Li Yuan was surprised, "How do you know?"

Liu Jiangsheng laughed and said, "Your Majesty, from childhood to adulthood, what can you hide from your ministers?"

Li Yuan

scolded: "It must be the two bastards of Zou Ping and Guo Xiu, who have to make the city full of storms for me. These two bastards must have quick mouths."

Liu Jiangsheng smiled, "What? Do you want to guard against the failure of the ministers?"

Li Yuan said embarrassedly: "How can I guard against you, it's just that this matter tells you a little bit inappropriate, after all, you are my brother-in-law, I actually feel very guilty in my heart, I have married a lot of women over the years, but your life's major events have not been settled, isn't it not good."

Liu Jiangsheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can have more concubines, have more heirs, and spread out for the Great Chu, as the courtiers of the Great Chu, we can't be happy!" As for the ministers themselves, in fact, how can they have spare time to marry a wife, and they just want to saddle the horse for His Majesty.

Besides, don't think that the minister doesn't know, His Majesty must be a beautiful man, and marrying the eldest lady of the Gu family is equivalent to winning over the Gu family and several wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, and the minister can still see this truth."

Li Yuan blinked his eyes and said in a slightly surprised manner, "Jiang Sheng, you are in a word, you have really grown a lot in the past two years. But that's not all of it. I do intend to win over the Gu family, but do you think the Gu family will be wooed by me because of this incident?

These merchants are very shrewd, and whoever is good for them, they will accept whoever is good. There are many things you don't know, and when I tell you slowly, you will know that there are twists and turns here."

Liu Jiangsheng smiled: "It's okay, let's talk about this matter later." Now that the war has subsided, and Li Jingsui is also dead, what is Your Majesty's plan next? Will you go back to Jinling or back to Zhongjingfu?"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "I have already ordered someone to lead the elite cavalry to send Li Jingsui's corpse to Jinling, so that the people of Jinling can see with their own eyes that our Chu army has returned victorious.

As for me, I have already sent someone to borrow a boat from the Gu family, get a few hundred boats, except for the soldiers and horses who stayed in the south of the Yangtze River, everyone else followed me through the canal, and then diverted to the Yangtze River and went back to Zhongjing Mansion directly. The scenery of the waterway is good, so we should also relax and enjoy the mountains and rivers."

Liu Jiangsheng smiled, and then arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is interested, but I'm afraid that someone won't allow it, I don't know how long this peace can be guaranteed?"

Your Majesty, the minister heard that the Central Plains Zhou State, the new emperor Guo Rong after the accession to the throne this year after the continuous training of troops, three months ago in Zezhou Gaoping defeated the Han and Khitan coalition forces in one fell swoop and won a great victory, it is the time when the soldiers are strong and strong, Your Majesty did not mention that this person is determined to be in the world before? Now that Zhou Guozheng is gearing up, it is estimated that the next dispute with my Dachu will be inevitable.

We have gone through large and small battles in the past year, and the war has finally ended, and my Dachu is also standing, but after the country is stable, how can people abroad sleep peacefully? Also, the coffin of the first emperor of the Tang Kingdom is still in Suzhou, how will Your Majesty deal with this matter?

My Great Chu has been established, in what name should I welcome back, if I welcome back, what should I do if the people miss the old Tang Dynasty, and so on, in short, it seems that the sun is shining, but the mountain rain is coming, and I am afraid that a storm is coming."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Jiang Sheng is far-sighted, I am really impressed by you now. I have my own decision not to mention the matter of Li Jing's coffin for the time being, but only to talk about the affairs of the Zhou Kingdom, I will tell you a sentence, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. When a storm comes, why have we ever been afraid? Have we experienced less wind and rain? I know all of what you're talking about, and I know how to deal with it.

The general trend of the world will be united after a long time, and the war that should come will always come. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, you have to believe in my ability, don't think about it, if there is a storm, let this storm come more violently, and see if my great Chu's national fortune can withstand it."

Liu Jiangsheng nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister still says that, and the minister always believes in you."

Li Yuan smiled slightly, raised his glass and said, "Eat tea, eat tea, this year's new tea." Gu Mingli specially asked someone to send it from Hangzhou, the capital of Wu Yueguo, after the rain Longjing......
