Chapter 1298: The Distinction Between Civil and Military

Chang'an City also quickly received a report from the south, after all, the king of the country of Bi has been on the road, and he will be able to arrive in Chang'an City in two months, Li Shimin is also embarrassed, now the speed of the war is much faster than before, it is really a sign of the strength of my Tang Dynasty.

If it was in the past, the southern expedition to such a complicated place, it would take at least two or three years, or even longer, after all, we don't know much about the local area, now it only takes more than two months, and it is still a country that goes hand in hand with land and water, and we have been beaten down, you must know that the country of Bi is not big compared to the Tang Dynasty, but it also has a population of nearly two million households.

Li Shimin was not only happy, but naturally feasted the ministers in Chang'an City.

When the common people heard that His Royal Highness the Emperor had won another victory, they naturally happily went to the streets to celebrate, and now it is not the same as before, in the past, if you dared to come out at night, you would have to be arrested immediately, all kinds of crimes, that is quite serious.

Now as long as you don't make trouble outside, then you can play as much as you want at night, and although the number of patrolling soldiers has increased, they will never come to look for your business, unless you are in trouble.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in order to celebrate the victory of the imperial court, let's have a toast together."

Li Shimin drank very happily today, in the main square of the palace, it happened that the weather had reached the beginning of spring at this time, and it was not so cold.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live."

The courtiers also raised the wine glasses in their hands, and with the sound of the mountain shouting long live, everyone drank this cup of victorious wine together.

When Datang Tianjiu first came out, every catty of wine was sky-high, even if they were dignitaries and nobles, there was no way to drink it, but now it is not that time, and the price of a catty of wine has come to five yuan.

This is for all the people, it can't be said that it has been popularized, but at least for the dignitaries, you can drink it if you want to, of course, Li Xiang will never give up this business opportunity, for the top harvest has always been in the current wine has a variety of grades, the people drink the most ordinary one, and the people above must be high-star.

Anyway, with the victory of the war, these dignitaries and nobles also have income and do not harvest, who do they harvest? If they let them have too much money in their hands, these people will definitely want to do some other things, which is absolutely undesirable for the imperial court, especially those powerful landlords.

"I said auxiliary, you should be the happiest, your two sons have made great contributions on the battlefield, this time it's time to seal them, in the past, I said to seal these two children, you have to say that you can't do it here, you can't do it there, now you have military merits, you can always seal the mouth of the world."

Li Shimin took the cup to the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Wuji still had the same expression here, as if everyone else owed him eight dollars.

"Thank you Your Majesty Longen, I really didn't expect the two of them, according to my way of doing things, I should let these two boys take the civilian route, but I didn't expect that these two boys didn't listen to me, and the army may be their final place."

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a sigh, he has been mixed with a very good minister in his life, and he wanted to hand it all over to his two sons, so that these two sons could inherit their own careers, but they didn't expect that they would take different paths, and it was the path of their old rivals, and they couldn't help if they wanted to.

"I said you old fool, what's wrong with the army, early, if you let go, maybe the talents of the two brothers are even higher than now, especially your little son, who dares to fight and dare to rush, which is very much in line with my old intentions."

Cheng Biting Jin has always been like this, although now the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, but this is not a serious occasion, everyone has drunk this hand, just like fighting outside in the early years, everyone has come over with their own wine glasses, there is no so-called monarch and minister at this time, just like a tent in the army, everyone outside is open to chatting, Li Shimin seems to feel that time has gone back at this moment.

After becoming the emperor, he must have been farther and farther away from him countless times, and he hoped that such a scene could come back, but it was a pity that everyone was still pretending to be careful, and now seeing that the old brothers have come over, Li Shimin's heart is not to mention how happy, sitting silently next to him, listening to these people bickering, as if he has become younger.

In the face of Cheng Yanjin's accusation, if it was before, Changsun Wuji would definitely have to fight him for 300 rounds, others were afraid of this reckless man, but Changsun Wuji would definitely not be afraid.

But now the eldest grandson Wuji can't do this, the army is Cheng Biting Jin's one-third of an acre, since becoming Li Xiang's father-in-law, this guy's reputation in the army is getting higher and higher, so he can't do too much, if he really offends this guy, then his two sons in the army may not be able to eat.

"Cheers ...... drink"

Similar voices are endless, the little eunuchs and palace maids in the palace who are drunk are very busy, these people are all veterans of the Tang Dynasty, if something happens because of drunkenness tonight, then they are afraid that they will be beheaded to show the public.

The palace is not idle outside, the people have found a chance to drink and celebrate, since Li Xiang's victory, the people's lives have slowly improved, just take the ordinary people now, it has already changed from two meals to three meals, and there is a slight surplus every month, when it comes to holidays, everyone can even cut a pound of meat to eat.

This is much better than before, you must know that in the past, when they were poor, many people were already in their thirties, and they couldn't even know the taste of meat, and they didn't even eat a full meal every day except for drinking gruel and drinking gruel.

Now with the gradual increase in food, many people have stopped pursuing a full stomach, and some people have begun to pursue eating well, of course, this must have a certain ability, if you don't have that ability, you still have a full stomach.

Just when the entire Datang was immersed in a sea of joy, something happened in the far west against Datang, and this incident also changed Li Xiang's future direction.

This incident caused Li Xiang to temporarily stop all military operations against Yu Zhenla and Tianzhu Kingdom, and instead start from the Western Regions......
