Chapter 65: Return to Beijing

The rebels began to swam again. Xue Rengui saw the rebels rushing up again. shouted "kill" in his hand, and Fang Tian's halberd flowed smoothly. A sweep is a few human heads. And the ten veteran guards are very experienced and do not collide with the enemy. Just behind Xue Rengui sneak attack.

However, the number of rebels was too large, and Li Shen's ten guards began to appear wounded. The hundred cavalry arranged by Li An also suffered casualties, and the situation began to become critical. Suddenly, the shouts of killing outside came from far and near.

"Kill. Protect the Emperor. ”

"Chong, kill the old thief of Ashina's association."

"Rush rush to save the driver."

Li Shen knew that Yu Linwei outside had broken through the palace gate. Also walk to the door. shouted loudly, "Only the head of the thief will be punished for rebellion, and the rest of those who surrender will not be killed." ”

"Only the head of the thief will be punished, and the one who descends will not be killed"

"Only the head of the thief will be punished, and the one who descends will not be killed"

Ten guards shouted along. Li Shen said this because he was afraid that these people and dogs would jump over the wall and fight to the death. None of his ten guards have died except for the wounded. It's his fortune. Don't die a few times in the end.

There were fifty or sixty rebels left. I heard the shouting of killing from behind, and heard the shouting from the front that those who surrendered would not kill. After hesitating for a while, someone began to shout surrender and rushed to the side. If there is a leader, then there will be a follower. At one time, more than half of them ran out of the rebel ranks.

"Bastard, come back quickly, they lied to you." Ashina Association rate after seeing the extremely corrupt Tao

"All those who surrendered went to the wall over there and threw away their weapons. Kneel with your head in your hands. This king promises not to kill you. Li Shen saw so many people and hurriedly promised

"Rengui, go and take down the Ashina association rate." Li Shen instructed Xue Rengui,

"It's the prince." Xue Rengui didn't talk nonsense, and killed Fang Tian with his halberd. How could the remaining dozen or so people be Xue Rengui's opponents. And Ashina's association rate was captured in Xue Rengui's hands, and he took five moves. Since then, a rebellious assassination has ended.

After Xue Rengui captured Ashina's association rate. Yu Linwei finally arrived. The only thing that left the rebels to surrender was to be killed.

Sun Kaiwu, the captain of the Yulin Guard, walked to the bottom of the steps, put his weapon on the ground, and knelt on one knee

"The minister is late for rescue, please punish Your Majesty" Sun Kaiwu knew. If Li Shimin died, all the generals of Yu Linwei would have to be buried together. If you don't affect your family, you're already gracious.

"Get up. Ashina's rebellion was not expected. You are not guilty. Arrange for someone to guard the palace gate. A battalion of 1,000 cavalry was dispatched to garrison it. Bring down the rebels. King Ji has promised not to kill those who descend, so let it go. Li Shimin commanded

It's midnight. Although everyone did not participate in the battle, their spirits were tense. When I relaxed, I felt tired. Li Shimin is forty years old after all. The physical strength is not comparable to that of the year. So Wang De persuaded Li Shimin to rest. We'll talk about that tomorrow.

Ashina and other rebel leaders were taken down and tortured severely. Let's see if there are any other people behind the scenes.

"Rengui, you have worked hard today. Except for the wounded. They are all guarding the gate of the Aya dormitory. I'll have someone bring me something to eat in a moment. Li Shen is not at ease, afraid that there will be more parties.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Shen, did not object, turned around and walked into the dormitory.

This shows his trust in Li Shen, and he also understands Li Shen's filial piety to him, with Xue Rengui at the door, Li Shimin can sleep more peacefully, and Li Shen also takes people back to his yard to rest.

The next day, after a night of torture, Li Shimin got a satisfactory answer.

This rebellion was carried out by only one person led by the Ashina Association, and no one else participated. He Luohu was also coerced by Ashina's association rate. It was because he felt that Li Shimin did not attach importance to him, and he held a grudge against him for ten years without promotion, and planned to assassinate Li Shimin.

Li Shimin handled the matter very quickly, and did not get angry and engage in a big deal, but only executed several main culprits led by Ashina's association rate. He Luohu, who was coerced, was exiled by him to the Lingnan area. Li Shen, a surrendered soldier, recommended ten years of hard labor. Ten years later, it was released. They are all at the mercy of others. Li Shimin adopted Li Shen's suggestion.

For rewards, you need to return to the palace before you can do it. Li Shimin had no intention of playing. So I began to pack my bags and prepare to return to Beijing.

Because I was no longer in the mood, I returned to Beijing two days faster than when I came. And the rebellious courtiers already knew. Li Shimin needs to deal with it as soon as possible. Li Shen went to the boutique pavilion to find Wang Hongfu.

Although the assassination was quelled. But news still came out. Wang Hongfu also heard about it. Li Shen didn't talk nonsense and said directly to Wang Hongfu: "Lao Wang, there are a few things you need to do.

The first is to give Xue Rengui a reward of 200 guan, and Xue Rengui will add another 100 guan. 100 acres of fertile land, find someone to make a title deed and send it to their family.

There is also a house for them to build an acre of land, which must be built with bricks and cement. I ask the brick house to lay a good foundation and not be afraid to spend money.

The king's life is more expensive than the house, and if you want to use a good log made of reinforced concrete, I will let you send you a good drawing. In the future, their income will be tripled, and all the workshops will choose people and their families will be given priority, remember? ”

When the guards on the side heard Li Shen's words, they were all excited. After that, their family was really rich.

There is no problem with eating meat at once, and even some guards feel that it would be better if they die in battle, and their children and grandchildren don't have to worry about it for generations, of course, just think about it.

"It's the prince, I'll do it right away" Wang Hongfu hurriedly agreed. He knew that this group of people had done a great job. not only saved Li Shen, but also saved the emperor. In the future, the emperor will have a reward.

"Thank you for the reward"

"Thank you"

The guards thanked Li Shen one by one.

"Get up, you deserve it, for the king's life is more important than money.

Rengui, the current guard force is still not enough, you need to recruit some in Zhuangzi, and there are also retired veterans to recruit.

In this way, Lao Wang, you can find someone to go to the surrounding counties and Zhuangzi to ask if there are any veterans who have retired and are willing to come to our Zhuangzi. After I leave the palace, the guards of the palace should be 3,000 according to the etiquette system.

But this is Chang'an, there shouldn't be so many, but there are few people in the palace, and the patrol can't be too small, and I estimate that there will be at least 500 people in the palace.

Three shifts of patrols, anyway, you can recruit more people, arrange more training in Zhuangzi outside the city, but don't exceed three thousand people" Li Shen is about to leave the palace.

Security issues must be addressed. Although this is the capital of Chang'an, it is also necessary to guard against some small people. At the very least, be careful not to steal. He has a big treasury in his palace.

"Okay, lord. I'll get things done as soon as I can. There is one more thing, the road from Huangzhuang to Chang'an has been repaired. Those who built the road were people from the nearby Zhuangzi. They asked if they could work in our workshop as well. They're really having a hard time. Wang Hongfu replied

"Well, yes, our workshop chooses people first, and we have to choose people from Huangzhuang. But you go and talk to the people in the Zhuangzi.

If someone is willing to do some business on their own, we support it, and if we don't have money, we can borrow them.

There is also a night school for Jiaoyu to teach them literacy and arithmetic, doubling the salary for learning 1,000 words, and promoting those who learn arithmetic to be bookkeepers and shopkeepers, and those who do not want to be aware of words are not forced, but the wages remain the same. Li Shen explained to Wang Hongfu again

"There is also an important part of the important drink and soap that should not be done by outsiders, and we have adopted an assembly line approach.

They were told that they were not allowed to enter, and whoever entered, whether intentionally or not, would be directly expelled, and the people in their village would be expelled from the village. "Li Shen has already dismantled all the processes.

Divided into different workshops, the important links are done by themselves, and there is no patent protection in these years.
