Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan changed the county system that was briefly restored during the Yang Guang period to the state and county system again, and the whole world has followed the county system of the abandoned Yang Guang period.

Gusu County became Suzhou again.

The world is in turmoil, Yang Guang died in Yangzhou, above Huaisi, a group of rebels fought, and the final winner was a heroic man named Du Fuwei, in the south of the Yangtze River, then Fu Gongyou and Luo Jing became two heroes, in the hometown of Jing Chu, Xiao took advantage of the situation.

There are seventy-two roads of smoke and dust in the world, which can be seen to be chaotic.

Suzhou is located in the old land of Wu Chu, even in this period, it is still a small and rainy painting style, and there has never been a cold and solemn soldier.

The lakes are dotted, the alleys that turn a thousand times, the streams that gurgle across the bridge, and the woman holding Wu Nong's soft language.

Pink walls and tiles, Wuyi Ancient Lane, in front of Luo's Hall, swallows peck new mud.

Luo Jingcheng and Luo Xuanjing sat in the hall, Luo Xuanjing was pregnant, and there was a letter on the table in front of the two, which was sent by Luo Xuanye, talking about the current trend, the Tang Dynasty has the heart to annex the four seas, Li Shimin is the talent of the world, let Luo Xuanjing and Luo Jingcheng go to Chang'an to help him with the letter, and make a great cause.

Luo Jingcheng hesitated on his face, and asked hesitantly: "Madam, the letter from the fifth brother, I remember that you also said that the prince of Taiyuan is indeed a masterpiece, otherwise when I settle down at home, we will go north to return to Tang?" ”

Who knew that Luo Xuanjing shook his head without hesitation, and turned to smile Yan Yan and said: "You can't be obedient, at least not at this time."

The fifth brother married the princess of Pingyang, was the concubine of the Tang Emperor, and was a friend of life and death with Li Shimin, the king of Qin.

Among the relatives of the Tang State, the status is second only to the Tang Emperor, the Crown Prince, and the King of Qin, and the King of Qi and the King of Chu are on an equal footing. ”

Luo Jingcheng thought that Luo Xuanjing would analyze the big truth, but he didn't expect it to be so realistic, he pondered for a while, and he had some thoughts in his heart, but he still decided not to say it, and let Luo Xuanjing say.

Luo Xuanjing said seriously: "We are going to the Tang Kingdom now, out of the need to appease Jiangnan in the future, the Tang Emperor is very likely to give his husband the title of Duke of the country, he is a person, the ancestors have long said that nepotism."

We are different from Fifth Brother to him.

Husband, you have the ability to lead the troops, but you are not strong enough, far inferior to the fifth brother, he will give you at most a Guangluxun, Imperial Doctor and the like.

In today's troubled times, all the lintels of the world have to get merit on the battlefield, what is the use of this kind of dispatch?

We sit on the left side of the river, through the south of the Yangtze River, if we can become the trend of the Spring and Autumn Wu State, at that time the country will descend, he will not give a hereditary town to guard the throne of the county, how can we calm the hearts of the people of Jiangzuo. ”

Luo Jingcheng was stunned when he heard this, of course he understood this, but isn't Luo Xuanye the fifth brother of his own wife?

Luo Xuanjing patted him and said with a smile: "Don't be stunned."

The ancestor said, let our Luo children help each other, and in the new dynasty, work hard to climb up, get more titles, and take more positions of real power.

But I didn't say how to help each other, the fifth brother is inside, and we are outside, just right.

Moreover, the ancestor said that in order to cooperate with the family's future integration plan, it is necessary to expand the scope of lineage and reform the marriage system within the family.

What does that mean?

It's a change in the rules of stigma!

The situation in which our children have stigmata and our grandchildren do not have stigmata may change. ”

Luo Jing was stunned as an adult, and he still understood the previous ones, but the last few sentences?

He asked urgently, "Madam, wasn't this stigmata rule set by King Su's ancestor?" ”

Luo Xuanjing glanced at Luo Jingcheng in surprise and said, "Husband, you are not serious about studying, the stigma was not there from the beginning, and the ancestor of Gong Wen did not have the stigma in his previous life."

And among all the elders of the family, there are three people who are special, the ancestor of Gong Wen, the ancestor of Luoshen, and the ancestor of Zhaosheng Wang.

Among them, the ancestor of Gong Wen is the most special, especially this reincarnation, and the power he has is unimaginable.

The ancestor came to the world not simply to assist the new dynasty Jackie Chan, his old man has too many things to do, everything must be in line with his old man's plan, including the family, and we, we have to arrange the plan of the ancestor to do things, our Xuanzi generation, that kind of past freedom is gone.

The old Luo's set was abandoned by the ancestor of Gong Wen.

Husband, work hard, in the new order, use courage and wisdom to reflect value.

A reply to the fifth brother, I will write it, husband, you are ready to contact Jiangnan Shiren, those who have great ambitions are not willing to take refuge in my Luo's, but there are always people who are only willing to keep the peace of the family and the surname. ”

Luo Jingcheng still has the same set of the Central Plains Dynasty in his mind, and it is the rules that the old Luo clan has been running for 1,600 years.

"The world is in the Son of Heaven, in Luo's, the new Son of Heaven is new in the world, and Luo's is new in the world, and the transformation of Luo's is the first step in reforming the world."

This is what Luo Su said to all the Luo clan's descendants in Winterfell, so the Luo clan that appeared this time would be so different.

……

With Luo Xuanxing's entry into the Central Plains, Zhu Luo's sons have already left the army separately, and two of them went to Guanzhong, for Luo's sons, the basic judgment is no problem.

In the future, it is either Guanzhong or the Central Plains that can seize the world, and Luo Xuanye is in Li Tang, which is quite attractive to them.

They are not like Luo Jingcheng and Luo Xuanjing, they have a big family and a big business, and they are big lords in Jiangnan.

They are alone, and naturally they have to go to the most promising forces.

Hebei Dou Jiande is also quite optimistic, especially Hebei under his rule, governing with benevolence and virtue, and the ancestors' evaluation of Dou Jiande is not low, which makes several Luo's sons very tempted.

For the selection of these offspring, Luo Su did not interfere.

After traveling the world for so many years, he only saw the real kings in Dou Jiande and Li Shimin.

In the future, who can let him help depends on who can win.

No matter how good Li Shimin is, after all, he is not Li Tang's helmsman, and he often charges into battle, maybe he will die unexpectedly on the battlefield in the end, between Li Tang and Zhao Guo, who will die in the end, it is really uncertain.

……

When Li Shimin, who had returned victoriously, arrived at Chang'an City, the people of Chang'an, who had already known the results of the Battle of Shallow Water Plain, stood on both sides of the straight road and welcomed the triumphant army.

"King Qin!"

"King Qin!"

The elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty followed him on a tap, Luo Xuanye followed Li Shimin in bright armor, his left hand was still touching his waist all the time, and it only took a moment for him to draw his sword out of the sheath.

This is the first time that Li Shimin has felt the praise of this kind of direct feedback on himself.

This time it is not the victory of the Tang Dynasty, but the victory of Li Shimin, the king of Qin of the Tang Dynasty!

His face was full of excited colors, he liked this feeling of military victory and triumph, the reins in his hand couldn't help but clench, and the white hoof crow seemed to feel his emotions and slowed down.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see Li Yuan's joy, he can't hide his liking for Li Shimin, such a son who can charge into battle, a son with superb archery skills, is Li Yuan's pride.

He patted Li Shimin on the shoulder, laughed and recalled to the ministers, "Back then, when I asked to marry Empress Taimu, I used two arrows to hit the peacock's eyes on the screen.

Now King Qin's archery skills have been passed down by me!

If there was no King of Qin, what heavy losses would my Tang Dynasty suffer in this battle? ”

The subsequent rewards and rewards and punishments of Liu Wenjing and others are not on the table for the time being, and now Li Yuan just wants to promote Li Shimin, and take advantage of this incident to let Li Shimin gradually embark on the road of the military commander of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuan himself is reluctant to go out to fight, after he thinks that he is a noble relative, how can he go out to fight like those monarchs in the past, especially Liu Bang's lifelong war, that is what he absolutely wants to avoid.

The crown prince Li Jiancheng is the foundation of the country, and it is too dangerous to fight this kind of thing, and it is not good in case of an accident.

can be trusted and capable, and the matter of Datang's birth and death will be handed over to the remaining sons.

For the battle to pacify the Western Qin, Li Yuan's reward to Li Shimin was Yizhou Daoxing Taishang Shuling, and the right guard general, who had the power to mobilize government soldiers.

……

After the celebration banquet in the palace, Luo Xuanye and Li Xiuning returned to Princess Pingyang's mansion, and in the carriage, Li Xiuning lifted the clothes on his chest, rolled up the wide sleeves, and the scars were revealed.

"Does it still hurt?"

With distress on her face, Luo Xuanye smiled and said: "It doesn't hurt, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, it's normal to be injured, didn't my father give me a thousand households?"

It's worth it! ”

Li Xiuning frowned slightly, there were only a thousand households, and she was a little unhappy: "This time you go back to Beijing, we will have a few more children, so as not to fight outside the country, something really happens, lest you lose the inheritance of the title you fought so hard for." ”

Li Xiuning wanted to leave a seed for Luo Xuanye, Luo Xuanye said with a smile: "Isn't there a Rou'er?"

Just pass on the title of Duke of Zhou to her. ”

Li Xiuning said: "She will naturally have the title of county lord in the future, and even if I work hard, the title of Princess Pingyang can be passed on to her like a prince, and the title of Duke of the country will still be passed on to other children."

How?

You don't want to touch me? ”

Luo Xuanye immediately raised his hands and begged for mercy: "Madam, spare me, I will shut up and give birth to a child when I go back."

Princess Qin will invite us to a banquet in the Qin Palace, and we will return to the palace soon. ”

Li Xiuning was lying on Luo Xuanye's chest again, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his mind.

……

Following.

Luo Xuanye and Li Xiuning went to King Qin's mansion together, and King Qin and his wife greeted them in front of the door.

The two of them are dressed in civilian clothes, Li Shimin is still a Xuanyu, this time back to Chang'an, he is proud, and it can be seen from the full mental state that he is now in the erection period.

The eldest grandson stood quietly beside him, for this woman, Luo Xuanye's evaluation was that she was gentle as water, soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, extremely demure, a beautiful and extremely attractive woman, and she was Li Shimin's best virtuous helper, who could help Li Shimin achieve great things, so he respected the eldest grandson very much.

After Luo Xuanye got out of the carriage, he saluted and said, "Wechen has seen King Qin and Princess Qin. ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Today is a family banquet, so you don't need to be so formal." ”

The eldest grandson said softly: "Sister, brother-in-law, please inside, the house has prepared wine and food." ”

The group walked into the mansion, and there was already one person in the hall, who was the elder brother of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he was also the most trusted Wenchen of Li Shimin in the Qin Palace.

Today is indeed a family banquet, and Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and other Wenchen who are trusted by Li Shimin are not here.

"Weichen Wuji has seen the princess, the princess Wan'an, and the public security of the Zhou State."

The eldest grandson Wuji is a little arrogant, but it also depends on who he treats, and the four people in front of him are obviously not arrogant to him.

Although Luo Xuanye and Eldest Sun Wuji are both Li Shimin's people, but now they are in the Wude Dynasty, and Luo Xuanye and Eldest Sun Wuji compare their status, both of which are to give Eldest Sun Wuji face.

Even if he has a better relationship with Luo Xuanye than with Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji does not dare to say that he can beat Luo Xuanye.

After the five people sat down, the nurse took away Li Chengqian, who was less than a year old, and only five people were left drinking, Li Shimin tasted the wine and sighed: "The Tang Dynasty has been raising troops for two years, and now, it can finally be regarded as a real meritorious service, and it can cheer up without being a prince among the ministers." ”

His emotion was quite revealed, you can imagine how long this matter has been held in his heart, Luo Xuanye responded: "The true dragon walks above the nine heavens, even if there are many clouds and mist, it will also cover up the traces, the King of Qin has great power, and it will always be revealed, the beginning of the dynasty, the chaos in the world, and there will be countless meritorious services in the future." ”

As soon as Luo Xuanye spoke, Li Shimin was happy, because he knew that Luo Xuanye was not a liar, he would not be a sycophant, nor would he observe words, he praised himself and respected himself, then he was really good, how could this make him not happy?

Li Shimin immediately raised his glass and said: "Without Qingyang, this battle would not have been successful, and you have made great contributions to this battle of Qingyang."

After the recovery of Liangzhou, my father already has a plan to send troops to the eastern capital, and I may still be the marshal of the march at that time, and then we will go into battle together, whether it is Wang Shichong or Li Mi, we will definitely be able to defeat the success. ”

Seeing this, Li Xiuning only said lightly: "You have just come down from the battlefield, and your body has not recovered yet, don't drink more." ”

Li Xiuning's words were quite deterrent, even Li Shimin listened, the two only took a slight sip, and began to chat, mostly talking about the current situation in Kanto, after all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the next focus of Li Tang is to go east and reproduce the history of the three dynasties of Zhou, Qin and Han dynasties out of the customs to determine the world.

Li Xiuning is the internal history order, the three high-ranking officials, this position is the same as Shangshu's left and right servants, and the servants are all prime ministers, she naturally knows the most about military affairs, she introduced to a few people: "Now Wang Shichong and Li Midou are inseparable.

However, there was civil strife in Wagangzhai, Li Mi killed Zhai Rang, and now Wagangzhai has begun to split, Wang Shichong has a chance, and he has won a few games against Li Mi, and many fierce generals under Li Mi have taken refuge in Wang Shichong.

However, Wang Shichong is too suspicious, and with the upper hand in the competition with Li Mi, I don't think he can survive for a long time.

Many generals under Li Mi's command have fled, and the generals have left Germany, and the day of defeat is not far away.

The biggest threat to my Datang is Dou Jiande in Hebei, now Hebei is not only the ordinary people obey, those Hebei Dashi clan also support Dou Jiande, it is said that there are Luo's sons also appeared in Dou Jiande's mansion, the soldiers are general, and the politics are clear.

In Hebei, some people have already ranked him and Yuan Benchu together, known as the god of Hebei.

My family was born in Guanlong, and you all know that Hebei has always disobeyed my Guanlong, and Dou Jiande is a local, which has added another boost to him.

A terrible opponent! ”

Li Shimin frowned deeply when he heard this, he was even tied with Yuan Benchu, the degree of winning people's hearts was a little too terrifying, and besides, there was a Luo's son?

Several people looked at him, and Luo Xuanye said in a deep voice: "I have seen Dou Jiande, he said back then, rule the world with benevolence and righteousness, and the ancestor appreciated him very much.

What Mrs. said just now, if it is true, and he really governs Hebei with benevolence, then it is very likely that my brothers will join the ranks.

The monarch chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the king.

The criteria for Luo's children to choose a monarch are very good for benevolence and love for the people. ”

Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Qingyang, your brothers, the other Luo's sons, how can they be?" ”

Luo Xuanye recalled: "In our generation, the highest talent is my third brother, named Luo Xuanxing, that is, the Luo clan who led the Luo clan warriors to the south and finally killed Yang Guang's son.

He is not my father's son, but my cousin, and the next head of my current family.

Luo's generation of battlefield killing, invincible horses and lances are invincible 10,000 enemy fierce generals, the strongest is me.

The rest of the brothers are all fierce generals, and in the years of Baishan and Heishui, they have basically cultivated a strong physique, but they are not as good as me.

For the way of politics, my sister Luo Xuanjing is very good, but what is the level of the rest of the brothers, because I am not good at this, so I can't judge accurately, but it will definitely not be bad. ”

Li Shimin felt that his head was starting to hurt, because Luo Xuanye said that he was not good at it, but he didn't think that Luo Xuanye was not good at it, Luo Xuanye just didn't have the wit in this regard, and he couldn't really do it.

Luo Xuanye is knowledgeable, and can ask questions and persuade, Luo Xuanye thinks that this is not good at it, so what does it look like to be good at it?

Li Shimin rubbed his head and asked, "Qingyang, may you invite your brothers to my Datang?"

I Datang is thirsty for talent, and I should treat each other with a high position! ”

Luo Xuanye didn't know what to say, he couldn't say that I had already written a letter, but the ancestor had commented that Li Yuan was not good, and the brothers probably didn't like it.

After thinking about it, he said: "The prestige of my father has not yet been broadcast to the Quartet, so the brothers don't know about Datang yet, and I will write to them when I go back and declare it for Datang." ”

Li Shimin actually understood!

It was probably thanks to some of the words that Luo Su had uttered in front of him, which he still remembered.

Li Shimin knew in his heart that Luo Su looked down on his father and emperor, and he married the Li family because he liked his sister, taught himself and his eldest brother, and valued himself and his eldest brother, so he didn't ask anymore, and it was boring not to look for himself.

Seeing that the atmosphere on the table was a little solemn, the eldest grandson explained: "Miss Xuanjing is guarding herself in Jiangnan, and Prince Xuanxing has never entered his door, and now Datang has a brother-in-law, isn't it the essence of Luo's family, in my Datang, this is a blessing, drink a glass of wine." ”

A light joke from hers suddenly changed the atmosphere on the table.

Li Xiuning said again: "Recently, Li Liang of Xiliang claimed to be the emperor without authorization, and my father originally wanted to attack, but because he had just fought with Xue Ju, he could only wait for the time being, and when the grain and grass in Shuzhong this season were harvested, I am afraid that Erlang, you will have to fight again."

Li Liang is not afraid, he originally wanted to surrender to my Tang Dynasty, especially after my Tang Dynasty defeated Xue Ju, but he was proclaimed emperor by his courtiers.

It is necessary to be careful that the Western Turks are ready to move and want to move eastward into the Central Plains, and if Li Rail and the Western Turks merge, then a strong opponent will appear in the west.

We can only defend Longshan and prevent them from continuing to enter Guanzhong, but Hexi will be difficult to peep at for the time being. ”

Western Turkic.

This force is different from the Winter Turks, the Winter Turks are the traditional steppe Hu people, who have been going back and forth with the Central Plains, and now Liu Wuzhou is still eye-catching with the Turks, but the Western Turks are different.

They had long since entered the Western Regions, and they were completely different from the Winter Turks, and religiously speaking, they had now converted to proselytism.

Those Turks who used to wield sabers have become "Westernized Turks", who used to use sabers to grab things, but now they are robbing things for the belief of King Su.

As a result, the Western Turks were very difficult to deal with.

Li Shimin had already begun to simulate how he would deal with Li Liang and the Western Turks in the future, unconsciously rowing those mountains, rivers and cities.

……

When Luo Xuanye and others were talking about the Western Turks, a big debate also broke out in the Western Turkic court, which was a debate about whether to attack to the west, or to the east, or to go north to fight the Winter Turks.

Those who hold these three theories are naturally the three factions.

Needless to say, it is the Han people of the Western Regions who call for the eastward entry into the Central Plains, "King Gaisu was born in the Middle Earth, although there is a temple of King Su in the Western Regions, but the tomb of King Su is located in Guanzhong Tianfu, and if you do not look at the place where King Su returns, how can you say that you have obtained the true spirit of King Su."

Go east to conquer Chang'an, where to pray to King Su to grant you honor and crown the high priest of the temple, that is the supreme khan, the khan of the khans. ”

At the end of this sentence, the Han of the Liu clan, who spoke out, used the Turkic word "khan" to stimulate the monarch on the throne.

Sure enough, this trick was very useful, Ashinase's eyes lit up instantly, he was obsessed with the classics of the Suwang Temple, and he was so obsessed that the temple was now almost made of gold and precious stones.

As soon as they saw this scene, some nobles who had just escaped from the Winter Turks were unwilling, and said loudly in Turkic language: "Great Khan, we are the descendants of the Immortal Heaven, the sons of the steppe, we should go to defeat the Winter Turks, dominate the steppe, and then enter the Central Plains, and now when we enter the Central Plains, they will only call us Hu people."

Some time ago, we sent a letter to Liangzhou, and the monarch of Liangguo had replied, he scolded you for being a Hu person, saying that he would not submit to you. ”

Ashinasse was directly furious, he stood up from his throne, his cloak covered in gold and precious stones clanging, and he shouted something that no one expected.

"He's the Hu man! He's a son of a bitch, and it's a Hu man! ”

After scolding in a bit of anger, Ashinaseh roared again: "Ben Khan is the holy khan personally crowned by the high priest of the Suwang Temple, the king of kings!"

Hateful!

Ben Khan will go to the temple to curse him, and pray to the Su King Emperor, if the Su King is angry, Ben Khan will do his best to the people of the Khanate, let this Li Liang know, what is called the wrath of the king! ”

The last faction was directly dumbfounded, they haven't spoken yet, why is the Khan going to attack to the east, this group of steppe people is really a waste, there is more than enough success and more failure, this is the end.

Ashinasei hates others the most for saying that he is a Hu person, and judging from his face, he no longer has the appearance of a Hu person at all.

His grandfather was of mixed Hu and Han descent, and then his grandmother and mother were both of the Han clan in the Western Regions, the Liu family and the Zhao family.

He has only one-eighth Turkic blood in his body, coupled with the education he received since childhood, from the time he was young, his mother took him to the temple to worship, which made him how he could stand to be called Hu Ren.

The Western Regions is completely different from the Central Plains, and the people of the Central Plains do not realize that many things that are not a big deal in the Central Plains are enough to kill people in the Western Regions.

The most fatal thing is probably to slander King Su, there are many people who don't believe in King Su in the Central Plains, and even many people openly question it, just like scolding the thief, but in the Western Regions, this is a violation of the law, and it is capital punishment, and people who don't understand these things can't rule the Western Regions.

Li Liang of the Western Liang Kingdom would never have imagined that he would attract an attack from the Western Turks just by talking a little.

If he knew, he would definitely say, "The royal court is three thousand miles away from Liangzhou, and he came to attack Liangzhou, crazy?" ”

Ashinase was already preparing to drive the cattle and sheep away, and he would soon let Li Liang know the result of insulting the mad believers.

……

After leaving the Qin Palace, Luo Xuanye gently exhaled the smell of wine, he thought about the time, the letter he sent to his brothers at the beginning, it was almost time to have a result.

Although Li Xiuning is a very enterprising woman, she is not unable to take care of people, she reached out and rubbed her temples for Luo Xuanye to relieve Luo Xuanye's fatigue.

After the two returned to the mansion, they carried out another activity to create people, and Li Xiuning thought that Luo Xuanye might be about to go on the expedition again, so he didn't stop for a moment, trying to get pregnant during this return.

With the children of the stigma, Li Xiuning hopes that she can have a few more, and Luo Su also hinted at her at the beginning.

Luo Xuanye's prediction was not wrong, the letter he sent, sure enough, when it was time to reply, the first one to arrive was Luo Xuanjing's letter, sending a letter from Jiangnan to Guanzhong, you can take the waterway, very soon.

Luo Xuanjing seriously described the current situation in the letter, and said the reason why he and Luo Jingcheng could not go to Guanzhong.

This made Luo Xuanye feel a little emotional, but he agreed with Luo Xuanjing's statement.

Although he regretted not being able to see his sister and brother-in-law, he burned the letter after reading it.

It is better not to spread these reasons, after all, in the future, it is still necessary to submit to the Tang Dynasty, and this kind of double-mindedness should not be revealed.

But to his great surprise, just as he burned the letter, his retainers hurried into the house and told him, "Childe, Fourth Son, and Sixth Son are outside the house. ”

"What?!"

Luo Xuanye was surprised and delighted, "Quick, please come in!" ”
