Sui, the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, the beginning of November.

The east gate of Daxing City, which was closed for more than ten days and was dilapidated after several battles, was slowly opening from the inside at this moment, and the hundred officials of the Sui Dynasty lined up in two columns, and walked out of the city gate under the leadership of the Yin Shishi Division and Jingzhao County Cheng Guyi, the general of the Right Yiwei.

Outside the door, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, who was dressed in military uniform, could not hide his joy on his face, and hurriedly rode a horse to lead his two sons, escorted by his own guards, and greeted the hundred officials of the Sui Dynasty.

"Meet Tang Guogong!"

The civil and military officials of the Great Sui Dynasty all knelt down to show their submission, and many Sui Dynasty soldiers in the gate knelt down together and bowed to Tang Guogong and the 200,000 soldiers behind him.

At this moment, Li Yuan's body and mind were extremely comfortable, and he wanted to laugh!

After only ten days of siege, Daxing, one of the two capitals of the Sui Dynasty, was taken, and hundreds of officials in the city surrendered.

It seems that he has seen all the people kneeling, he Li Yuan entered the imperial city of Daxing City, and sat on the dragon chair, at this moment, Taiyuan was patient and worried when he was planning things, looking forward and backward when he officially started the incident, tired and tired during the march, and the tight heartstrings during the siege of the city all disappeared.

"General Wei, please get up, Jun Cheng please get up!"

Li Yuan dismounted and helped the two of them up, Li Shimin dismounted with him, followed his father with a sword, and Li Jiancheng also hurriedly dismounted and followed.

"Herald!"

After helping the two of them and letting the hundred officials get up, Li Yuan shouted and ordered: "This time, I, Li Yuan, raised troops in Taiyuan, but to abolish the faint and establish the Ming Dynasty, and support the king as the Emperor of Sui, after our army will enter the city, the hundred officials will still be in their positions, the generals will still lead the troops, and the people and gentry in the city can live in peace!" ”

After getting the promise, many soldiers of the Great Sui defending the city in the city went out of the city in turn, disarmed at the city gate, put down their blades, and went to the distance to line up to wait for the fate.

There were more and more soldiers who disarmed, and Li Yuan no longer doubted him, and gave the order to enter the city with a smile on his face.

"Father, why don't I lead my troops into the city first! You and your brother will then go back in. Li Shimin said.

Li Yuan thought for a moment and glanced at the city gate, "Okay, Erlang is thoughtful, you will enter the city!" ”

Li Jiancheng watched his second brother enter the city, pondered for a moment, and then looked at his father.

Li Shimin led the troops into the city, first collected the armor at the city gate, and then ordered the guards to enter the city, occupy the city gate, and then climb the city wall, and after completely controlling the city gate, he stood on the city wall and waved his sword at his father.

Even if there was fraud in the city, Li Shimin could hold out until the army outside the city arrived.

Li Yuan was very satisfied, and was about to beckon the hundred officials of the Sui Dynasty to enter the city with him, but he heard the general Yin Shishi, who was originally guarding the city, looking at Li Shimin, who was wearing armor on the city wall, and sighed:

"It is worthy of inheriting the destiny of the Li family, how can we reach it?"

"Inheriting the mandate of the Li family? Haha, General Wei's words are disrespectful! Don't say it again next time! ”

Li Yuan pretended to reprimand.

He originally thought that General Wei Yin Shishi was a loyal and righteous man of the Sui Dynasty, who knew that he surrendered when the defenders in the city still had the strength to fight, and that's it, defending the city for more than ten days can be regarded as worthy of the Sui Dynasty, but he even flattered him that his Li family inherited the mandate of heaven!

The Li family inherited the mandate of heaven, didn't it imply that he Li Yuan should ascend the throne immediately and seize the Sui Dynasty?

This is not possible.

He raised troops in the name of honoring the king, and he could not ascend the throne now, lest the people of the world scold him.

For some reason, Li Jiancheng had doubts in his heart.

Is this the Li family who inherited the mandate of heaven, or the Erlang of the Li family?

Li Yuan's father and son led the troops into the city.

"Father!!"

A teenager who was escorted by a slave rushed towards Li Yuan, crying and kneeling in front of him, Li Jiancheng looked closely, it was the fifth brother he didn't bring with him when he and Yuan Ji escaped from Hedong County that day, Li Zhiyun.

"It's okay if Gorou is fine, your mother is worried about you, hurry up!"

Li Yuan was overjoyed, helped his son up, and let people take care of him, while he continued to ride into the city.

Not long after, in front of the main gate of the Daxingcheng Palace, I saw Yang Yu, the acting king who was only twelve years old, who was leading the eunuchs in the palace to wait anxiously, and knelt down in panic after seeing his people.

"Your Highness, please get up! Chen Li Yuan is late! ”

Li Yuan stepped forward to help the young Yang Yu and let him stand, under the gaze of a group of officials of the Sui Dynasty and Taiyuan soldiers, Li Yuan bowed down in front of Yang Yu:

"The first emperor was sick in Renshou Palace, and Yang Guang, who was the prince at the time, ordered the soldiers of the East Palace to guard the palace, and the palace gate was forbidden to enter and exit, and the first emperor collapsed. He stole the position of the Son of Heaven, but he was mediocre and cruel, and built the palace greatly, so that the people were not able to make a living, and a group of thieves rose up. ”

"Tang, how is Tang Guogong treated?"

Yang Yu couldn't listen to these words at all at this time, the bright sword was in front of him, and a group of eunuchs behind him trembled.

"Please act as the emperor!"

"I become emperor? No, no, no, it's up to you! ”

Yang Yu said this sentence in fear, and many soldiers behind Li Yuan, as well as Li Jiancheng, all knelt down on one knee and shouted:

"Please enter the palace and ascend the throne!"

Li Yuan did not obey and asked Yang Yu to ascend the throne as emperor again.

Yang Yu glanced around, but nodded tremblingly in agreement, and asked, "What else does the general want?" ”

"I would like to assist Your Majesty!"

"Okay, make the general prime minister!"

Li Yuan, who appointed himself as a general and was named prime minister, was still not satisfied, but the current king didn't know how to seal him.

Just as he was about to give up, a eunuch knelt down and stepped forward and reminded in a low voice at the king's feet:

"Your Royal Highness, according to the opinion of the ministers, the Tang State has made great contributions, it is better to award the Duke of Tang Guo as the governor of the capital, the commander-in-chief of the internal and external military, and in the future, His Royal Highness will ascend the throne, and then grant the Duke of Tang Guo a fake Huang Yue, the envoy of the festival, and enter the Tang Dynasty!"

"It's all up to you, it's all up to you!"

Yang Yu hurriedly responded.

Li Yuan was satisfied, stood up, asked everyone to get up too, and then helped the eunuch up with his own hands and asked him who he was.

"Minister-in-law Chai Dong, I've seen the general!"

"Good!"

Li Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said to Yang Yu: "Please Your Highness live in the East Palace, and Chai Dong will be the Changqiu Supervisor and lead the internal affairs of the palace!" ”

Yang Yu, who was only twelve years old, agreed to come down again, escorted by Li Yuan and his son, accompanied by hundreds of civil and military officials, and officially moved into the East Palace.

Li Shimin stood on the city wall, looking at the imperial palace in the distance.

After everything was decided, Li Zhiyun came to visit.

As soon as he saw the second brother, he knelt down and said with palpitations: "Thank you second brother for saving me!" ”

Li Shimin helped him up and hugged him, "Don't say these things to your own brother...... However, how did the fifth brother know about this? ”

"That Yin Shi Shi told me."

"He? Hum. When others asked about it in the future, they only said that they didn't know about it and that they should not spread it again. ”

"I listen to my second brother!"

Li Zhiyun laughed, "Even if my father and eldest brother ask, I won't say it!" ”

Li Shimin laughed and let him go back.

……

Dashun Dynasty, Yangzhou.

Lin Daiyu came to her mother's room with cold milk tea in her hand.

"What is this?"

Jia Min, who had already recovered a lot, saw her daughter holding a cup in both hands, and there were many water droplets outside.

Lin Daiyu glanced at the maids and mothers-in-law, and Jia Min asked them all to go out first.

Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "Mom, this is the milk tea that Uncle Chu gave to me and Sister Qingzhao when he ordered takeout, I took a bite and thought it was delicious, so I sent it to my mother." ”

"What is ordering takeout?" Jia Minqi said.

"I can't say what it is, Uncle Chu asked us if we had lunch, I told Sister Qingzhao not to eat, he used his finger to point on a glowing board, a quarter of an hour later, Uncle Chu went downstairs, brought up a box of food and three cups of milk tea, looked like a call from a restaurant outside, and sent food to the house."

“…… It's magical! ”

Jia Min thought for a while, then looked at her daughter again, and asked in surprise: "Uncle Chu left you and Yi'an Jushi for lunch?" ”

She already knew that the Chu Immortal Official was a young man who did not have a mistress in the house.

Lin Daiyu's face flushed, and she shook her head and said, "I didn't promise to stay, and neither did Sister Qingzhao." ”
