When he came to Li Yuhu's room, Chu Mofeng found that Hua Ling'er was also sitting in Li Yuhu's room, the two were chatting and laughing, and Momo and Yiyi were standing on the side with their hands tied and waiting.

Seeing Chu Mofeng walk in, the two hurriedly got up to greet them, only to see Li Yuhu smile and say, "Why didn't the husband accompany his father in the main hall, but ran to our sisters?"

I saw Chu Mofeng frowning and said, "I'm curious, why did Your Majesty come?

"Foolish man, as soon as your boat gets close to the ferry, someone will enter the palace to report, so Your Majesty will go to our mansion one step ahead of you. I saw Hua Ling'er stretch out her soft little hand, knocked on Chu Mofeng's head affectionately, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "But don't think that Your Majesty is spying on you, who made you now the Duke of Qi Guo, and is still in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, if you make a mistake, Your Majesty will definitely be sad." ”

Chu Mofeng nodded and said, "I said, why did Your Majesty come so quickly, then do you know the purpose of Your Majesty's trip?"

I saw Hua Ling'er shook her head, looked at Li Yuhu and said, "Sister Feng'er, I don't seem to have heard Your Majesty mention this." ”

"It seems that my father didn't talk about it, but when Ling'er and I were serving in the house, I vaguely heard that my father seemed to want the second and third uncles to become officials, and the specific people were not clear. Hearing Hua Ling'er ask herself, Li Yuhu thought for a moment, raised her pretty little face and said with a smile: "Isn't this bad?"

"I can't say this, everything depends on what Your Majesty means. Chu Mofeng walked to the seat and sat down, and said with a solemn face: "But if the second and third brothers are not here, I hope Your Majesty will not be too harsh." ”

Li Yuhu walked behind Chu Mofeng, stretched out his hand and gently massaged his head, Hua Ling'er poured him a glass of water and put it in front of him, while he sat opposite him, and said with a smile: "Husband, you can rest assured, I don't think Your Majesty should be so unreasonable." ”

Li Yuan, who had become the focus of the discussion between the husband and wife, sat in the main hall at this time and said slowly to Mrs. Heba: "Mrs. Gao, in fact, I still have some things to discuss with you when I came here today. ”

"Your Majesty doesn't have to be so polite, if you have anything to say, just listen to it. Mrs. Heba saluted Li Yuan and said slowly: "If it is because of the old body and the others who came to have any impact on Mo Feng, then the old body and the others can return to the county immediately." ”

I saw Li Yuan wave his hand and said with a smile: "Mrs. Gao has misunderstood, I came here today, first, I want to tell you in person that I have personally issued an edict to the world after the Shangyuan Festival, and I have corrected the names of Lord Gao Gong and those loyal ministers who were wrongfully killed by Emperor Wen of Sui's father and son;

When Mrs. Heba heard Li Yuan mention the matter of Gao Gong, she hurriedly got up and made a big salute to Li Yuan and said: "The old man has thanked His Majesty for his great kindness and great virtue for my lord, and after twelve years, the Gao family has finally taken off the charge of rebels. ”

Seeing this, Li Yuan hurriedly motioned for Mrs. Hebal to get up, and after she sat back in her seat, Li Yuan said with a smile: "Actually, Mrs. Gao, what you should be most grateful for is not me, but your youngest son, if he hadn't always insisted on vindicating his father, maybe you and I wouldn't be able to see today's situation." ”

"It's hard for this child, he was sent out to avoid trouble at such a young age, and he has been wandering outside for many years. At the mention of her youngest son, Mrs. Hebal couldn't help but burst into tears, and said in a choked voice: "Fortunately, Your Majesty took him in, so that he has today's achievements, and the old man has thanked Your Majesty for the Gao family." After speaking, he gave another salute to Li Yuan.

Seeing this, Li Yuan smiled and said: "Mrs. Gao praised it, this kid's achievements today are completely due to his own sword and sword, I just gave him a place where he can display his talents." ”

"In that case, then the old body is the master of the two children, and I hope that Your Majesty will not blame the old body after listening to the old body's words. Mrs. Heba nodded, and said to Li Yuan: "The second son of the old body, Hongyi, does not like to be an official by nature, and prefers to do business. ”

"Okay, I agreed, but I still have one more matter, I am going to hand over the supply of some items in the palace to my nephew Hongyixian, I hope he will not disappoint me. Li Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and then Chrysostom opened, which determined the glory and wealth of Gao Hongyi in the second half of his life.

Hearing this, Mrs. Heba hurriedly got up to thank her, and at this time, Li Yuhu and Hua Ling'er came together, and said to Li Yuan and Mrs. Heba: "Father, mother-in-law, please move to the dining room, the banquet is about to begin." ”

Hearing this, the two got up to go, and Chunxi, Wang De and Lady Heba's personal maid, followed closely behind.

After coming to the dining room, everyone sat down in turn, and Li Yuan, who was sitting in the main seat, raised his wine glass and said to everyone: "I am very pleased to see you today, as the saying goes, home and everything is prosperous, what I want to say is that family and harmony will make the country rich and the people strong, come, you will drink this cup with me." After speaking, Zhang Ye in the cup was drunk and drank it all.

Seeing this, everyone said in unison, 'Your Majesty', and then drank this glass of wine together, and then Li Yuan began to beckon everyone to move chopsticks, and a large table was full of eight treasures on the table, pastries and fruits, seasonal fresh vegetables and special snacks. And Li Yuan in the banquet completely lost the image of the emperor who was high in the past, just like a kind old man, looking at everyone present kindly.

The meal was not over until before the curfew, and Li Yuan, who was slightly drunk, was helped up by Wang De, and Chu Mofeng, considering Li Yuan's safety, personally rode a horse and followed the imperial chariot to Chengtianmen before returning to the mansion.

On the second day, someone came to the palace to pass the decree, Chu Mofeng and others hurriedly came to the courtyard when they heard the words, only to see that Wang De led four small yellow doors to come, and when he saw Chu Mofeng come out, Wang De said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, please invite all your family out, our family is going to announce the decree." ”

When Chu Mofeng heard this, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to invite everyone to come out, and after all the members of the Gao family's Chu Mansion arrived, they knelt down in unison under the leadership of Chu Mofeng, only to see Wang De take out a holy decree and unfold it, and said loudly: " Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, Bohai Gao, after loyalty, more than 12 years, do not forget the original intention, I am very pleased, specially recommended Gao's third son Gao Biaoren as the secretary and young eunuch, the rank from the fourth grade, his wife was the original Sui Dynasty Daning princess, promoted her to restore her real name Yang Zhaoyi, and enshrined her as the lady of the fourth grade; Gao's second son, Gao Hongyi, was good at business, and promoted him to open a store in the capital, and specially named him as the imperial city buyer, responsible for the purchase of some items in the imperial city. His wife was named the Lady of the Nine Grades. In addition, I feel that the Gao clan Gao Xi is fair and virtuous, and loyal to his duties, so he is posthumously named a loyal and righteous candidate, and his wife He Ba is posthumously awarded the title of Mrs. Yipin, and I admire this!"

After Wang De finished reading the will, he said to Chu Mofeng with a smile: "Grandpa Guo will thank you for the decree." ”

When Chu Mofeng heard this, he hurriedly raised his hands above his head, respectfully accepted the holy decree, and then shouted in unison: "Your Majesty Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After everyone got up, Mrs. Heba and her entourage were already in tears, and Wang De hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Old Mrs. Gao, Your Majesty has another message here, you don't have to kneel, just stand and listen." ”

"Your Majesty decreed that he would reward Gaofu with a box of jade, gold, silver, and money, and order Wencheng to return to the Gaofu Mansion in Yiningfang, and give the servants fifty, a set of various utensils, and a carriage, and order to give a plaque of 'Blue Blood Danxin'. As Wang De read out word by word, everyone present was amazed, and when Wang De finished reading, Mrs. Heba respectfully bowed in the direction of the imperial city and said, "The old body has thanked Your Majesty." ”

Then Wang De arched his hand to Chu Mofeng and said: "Grandpa Guo, as soon as the reward is due, it will be delivered tomorrow, and then I would like to ask Grandpa Guo to receive it, since our family's task has been completed, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, tomorrow I would like to invite Grandpa Guo to go to the court, Your Majesty has something important to discuss, and I will leave." ”

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng hurriedly motioned for Li Yuhu to take a gift and stuff it into Wang De's hand, and said to Wang De: "Please return to Your Majesty, Chu will definitely enter the palace tomorrow." ”

Seeing this, Wang De accepted the gift, and accompanied by Chu Mofeng, led the four small yellow doors behind him to leave the Chu Mansion. After Wang De walked away, Chu Mofeng took out two real estate deeds from his arms, handed them to Gao Hongyi and Gao Biaoren respectively, and said with a smile: "Two brothers, these are the two houses in Yiningfang, and I hope that the two brothers will not dislike it." ”

The two took the real estate deed, remembering that their little brother left his hometown at a young age, and he really relied on his own hard work over the years, and the two of them, as brothers, not only couldn't help at all, but also asked him to do a lot of work for himself, thinking of this Gao Hongyi and Gao Biaoren took a step back together, and made a big salute to Chu Mofeng and said: "Little brother, thank you for your dedication to the family over the years, thank you really for your brother." ”

I saw Chu Mofeng help the two of them up, and said with a smile: "The two brothers don't have to be like this, my father once said when he was alive that the family should work together to support each other, and all these years it was the two brothers who have been doing their filial piety in my mother's body instead of me, so it is right for me to do this, younger brother." ”

Speaking of this, Chu Mofeng changed his words, and said with a solemn face: "Since the two brothers should be sent to His Majesty's errand, there are a few things that must be said here, first, no matter what happens to the two of them in the future, remember not to blindly follow the line at will; second, no matter what you do, you must have a clear conscience, and you must not be corrupt and bend the law for personal gain; third, except for Your Majesty and Wang De, you must not reveal my relationship with Gaofu to outsiders, so as not to cause twists and turns. The two brothers of Wanwang remembered. ”

The two of them used to be the children of official eunuchs, Chu Mofeng's words made sense to the two of them, and then the two nodded, and said solemnly: "Little brother, don't worry, remember it for my brother." ”

Then Chu Mofeng walked up to Mrs. Heba, took out another real estate deed from his arms and said: "Mother, at the will of Your Majesty, the big shopkeeper of Wencheng Firm hereby returns the mansion of the former Sui Gaogong, and I hope you will accept it." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, only to see Mrs. Huba holding the real estate deed, and the bright red word Gaofu on it came into view, and then looked up at the little son in front of her, Mrs. Huba cried out instantly, Chu Mofeng saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort: "Why is the mother crying, if you want to go back to the other house where you lived back then, the son will buy it back later." ”

I saw Mrs. Huba choked up and said, "Child, this is enough, you have paid enough for this family, and you are very happy for your mother." After speaking, he stepped forward and hugged Chu Mofeng tightly, and whispered: "Child, let my mother hug you well, you have worked hard all these years." ”

Since he was seven years old, he has never felt the warmth of his mother's embrace, and Chu Mofeng, who was decisive in this moment, instantly burst into tears, and everyone on the side also secretly wept when they saw this, Chu Mofeng wiped a handful of tears when he saw this, and said with a smile: "Then these days, the second brother will first search for a suitable store in the East and West Market, as for the third brother, he will go to court with me tomorrow, and the rest will be in charge of housewarming matters when the mansion is cleaned up." ”

As Li Yuan's will spread, the ministers of the court and the central government have been discussing, in the Yongxingfang Wei Zheng Mansion, Wei Zheng was sitting in the study with a group of ministers drinking tea and discussing, only to see Wei Zheng in the first seat pick up the teacup and blow it gently, and then took a sip and said: "Everyone, Your Majesty's move has a deep meaning, let's discuss it." ”

I saw the first person stand up and said: "Duke Wei, colleagues, the lower officials think that Your Majesty's move is nothing more than a signal to those former Sui ministers who are under the command of Wang Hui Shichong and Dou Hui Jiande, and our Datang is not a corporal who is a former suspect of Lixian." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present muttered in their hearts: Who doesn't know that nonsense is nonsense, and everyone knows what His Majesty means on his face, isn't it equal to not saying it?

As soon as this person's voice fell, another person stood up and said: "Duke Wei, Xia Guan heard that Qi Guogong is the son of Gao Xi of the former Sui Dynasty, since he intends to conceal his identity, then tomorrow Xia Guan will be a book to join him and accuse him of a crime of deception." Then this person took out a piece of paper from his bosom, respectfully handed it to Wei Zheng and said: "This is the recital of the lower officials, please ask Wei Gong and your colleagues to correct it." ”

Wei Zheng took the man's recital and did not open it to read, but threw it into the brazier in front of him, allowing it to be engulfed by the fire.

I saw Wei Zheng put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly: "Do you still think that we don't have much to lose by eating that kid? You go to join him, if Your Majesty doesn't know his relationship with the Gao family, how can you go to the Qiguo Mansion to announce the decree?"

Everyone present was shocked, and they all felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to see through the person sitting on the throne now, only to see Wei Zheng snort coldly and said: "This son has been by His Majesty's side since the day of His Majesty's Jinyang Longxing, or when His Majesty was still serving as the palace supervisor of Jinyang, in terms of qualifications and feelings, he is much stronger than us people, if it is not for the heinous things that bring disaster to the country and the people, try not to trouble him in the future, so as not to lose more than he gains." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little unwilling, as if they saw everyone's thoughts, Wei Zheng said with a smile: "Everyone, everyone in the court knows that the prince is at odds with this person, since you can't move this person, then you might as well do your best to assist the prince, and when the East Palace ascends the throne in the future, it will not be too late to clean up this person." ”

Everyone present echoed the words when they heard this, but what no one expected was that one person sitting at the end of the next head echoed his words while scolding in his heart: Damn, as Grandpa Guo expected, this group of guys does not have a good thing, if it weren't for His Majesty commanding His Royal Highness King Qin and Grandpa Guo to lay down a huge territory, what would happen to this group of people? This matter must be quickly informed to Grandpa Guo, and Grandpa Guo will be passive in the future.

That night, Chu Mofeng sat quietly in the study, with a piece of paper in front of him, which recorded what happened in Wei Zheng's Mansion in Yongxingfang today, and at this time, in the sky from Chang'an to Changchun Palace, a gray pigeon flew desperately in the direction of Changchun Palace under the cover of moonlight.

On the morning of the second day, Chu Mofeng came to the Taiji Hall early with Gao Biaoren, and as soon as he entered the door, a group of civil and military officers came forward to congratulate, but no one broke the relationship between the two, and when everyone was greeting, he only heard a shout from the hall: "Your Majesty has arrived, and hundreds of officials kneel to greet you." ”

Immediately, everyone hurriedly stood up and knelt down and said: "Greetings to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

I only heard Li Yuan's voice from the hall: "Zhongqing is flat." ”

After everyone thanked them, they hurriedly got up and began their respective work in Wang De's shout of 'play if there is something to do, and to retreat from the court'.

Chu Mofeng, who had not been in the court for a long time, listened to everyone's narration, and then strung together the things that happened during the period when he traveled back and forth to Beixian, it turned out that shortly after Chu Mofeng left Chang'an, on June Gengzi Day (the third day of the first month), Dou Jiande led his troops to raid Cangzhou, and Cangzhou fell after several days of fierce fighting between the two sides;

Ding Weiri (the tenth day of the first month) Liu Wuzhou led his troops to enter Jiezhou. The monk Daocheng used a Buddhist flag to pull him into the city, so much so that Liu Wuzhou easily captured Jiezhou. After the imperial court got the news, it ordered Jiang Baoyi, the general of Zuo Wuwei, and Li Zhongwen, the head of the march, to meet Liu Wuzhou.

Liu Wuzhou's general Huang Ziying traveled back and forth in the Bird Mouse Valley, several times with a small army to challenge, as soon as the two armies came into contact, Huang Ziying pretended to be defeated and fled, several times later, Jiang Baoyi and Li Zhongwen sent all their forces to pursue, the other party ambushed the Tang army and was defeated, Jiang Baoyi and Li Zhongwen were captured by the other party, and soon fled back, Gao Zuzhong let the two lead the army to attack Liu Wuzhou;

And the right servant Pei Lin couldn't bear to worry about Liu Wuzhou's attack, so Mao recommended himself and asked to send him to investigate. On the 26th of the Guihai Dynasty, the imperial court appointed Pei Lin as the head of the march of Jinju Province to crusade against Liu Wuzhou and listen to his camera.

It wasn't until the day before Chu Mofeng came back that Pei Lian's army set off, at this time Chu Mofeng got the news, and hurriedly flashed out and said to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that the imperial court sent Pei Fujiao to lead the troops to recruit Liu Wuzhou, this move is quite inappropriate, although Pei Fujiao has also been in battle for a long time, but his personality is too cowardly, and he lacks the ability of a general. ”

As soon as these words came out, one of the Wenchen walked out, and said with a smile: "Qi Guogong, it is really a taboo for soldiers to change generals in battle, you don't even know this, right?"

Chu Mofeng was about to refute when he heard this, but Shi Wanbao, a military general, suddenly walked out and said to this person: "This colleague, this kind of simple and easy-to-understand truth, please don't show it off in front of Your Majesty and Qi Guogong, changing generals in battle refers to the sudden replacement of capable generals, this is indeed a taboo for soldiers, but just now Qi Guogong said, Pei Fujiao is not qualified for the position of commander, if you don't change, dare to ask you are ignoring the lives of the soldiers who went out to fight?"

As Shi Wanbao was angry, all the generals present glared at this person angrily, and many of the Wenchen also shook their heads secretly, thinking to themselves You are an idiot, what are you talking about the affairs of the soldiers, didn't you see that after Qi Guogong finished speaking, none of the martial artists in that group spoke out against it?

Li Yuan sat on the dragon chair and looked coldly at His Royal Highness, and was also thinking about whether to replace Pei Lin in his heart, when the heavens and men were fighting, I saw the crown prince Li Jiancheng stand up and say: "Your Majesty, Erchen thinks that it is really inappropriate to temporarily change generals, since Pei Fuchu invited himself to go, it means that he is already fully prepared, and Erchen feels that since His Majesty has agreed to this matter, he should believe Pei Fujiao." ”

For the change of generals, it was Li Yuan's decision because of this matter, so Li Yuan was not very willing to do this matter, at this time, Li Jiancheng's words just gave Li Yuan a room to relax, and then only heard Li Yuan say: "This matter has been decided, Qi Guogong should stop arguing, I have an important matter that needs Aiqing to do it quickly." ”

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng shook his head helplessly and said, "Please show your majesty." ”

"I decided to make an adjustment of the whole army, and drew out a part of the troops to reorganize into the Twelfth Army, and the Guannai Prefectures were subordinate to the Twelve Army, all of which took the name of Tianxing and were commanded by the Cheqi Mansion. There is one general and one deputy general in each army, and a person with a reputation is selected to fill the post to supervise farming and war readiness. This matter needs to be quickly come up with a charter by the United Military Department of Qi Guogong. ”

Chu Mofeng thought to himself when he heard this, this old guy didn't talk about the reorganization when he was drinking yesterday, and when he mentioned this matter in the court today, he just wanted to know that Pei Lian couldn't ask Ying to go on the expedition. Thinking of this, Chu Mofeng arched his hand at Li Yuan and said, "The minister respectfully obeys His Majesty's will, and will quickly submit the detailed regulations to His Majesty." ”

Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and Tu Ran said: "The new secretary and young eunuch Gao Biaoren and Gao Aiqing stepped forward to answer. ”

Gao Biaoren, who was among the ministers, heard Li Yuan shouting at him, hurriedly dodged out, walked quickly to Li Yuan, knelt down and said, "The minister Gao Biaoren respectfully invites Sheng'an." ”

I saw Li Yuan glance at Chu Mofeng, and said with a smile: "Gao Aiqing is the first time to enter the court as an official, for the time being, I will work seriously in the secretary province first, and ask your chief official for advice, and I will be reused in the future." ”

Hearing this, Gao Biaoren hurriedly kowtowed and shouted: "Minister Gao Biaoren bows to thank Your Majesty Longen." ”

Then Li Yuan said with a smile: "Today's morning dynasty is here for the time being, and the Duke of Qi Guo will stay and retreat." Then Wang De shouted in a long voice: "Your Majesty is driving, and the hundred officials are sending it off." ”

When everyone heard this, they knelt down and sang, "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

After Li Yuan left, Chu Mofeng got up and walked in front of Shi Wanbao and whispered, "General Shi, send a group of capable probes later, and keep an eye on Pei Lian's movements at any time. ”

Shi Wanbao nodded, turned around and left the Taiji Palace, but Wang De hurriedly came at this time and said to Chu Mofeng: "Duke Qi Guo, please follow the old slave to the imperial study, Your Majesty is waiting for you there." After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to Chu Mofeng.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng smiled and said, "Please ask your father-in-law to lead the way." After speaking, Wang De walked towards the imperial study, and when he passed by Gao Biaoren's side, he whispered to him: "If you have nothing to do, go back to the house first, and then talk about it after I go back." ”

Gao Biaoren said with a smile: "Cheng, I'll go to the city gate first, I heard that the second brother went to the city gate to pick up the goods today, and it just so happened that I also went to help." ”

At the city gate, for some reason, Mayi County suddenly strengthened its vigilance, and checked the people entering and leaving the city very carefully, the five people left from the market, returned to the inn to settle the house payment, and slowly rode towards the city gate, who knew that the city gate found that the number of soldiers in the inventory was more than twice as many as before, Liu Feiyan saw this and quickly gathered everyone to discuss countermeasures.

After thinking about it, everyone still decided to forcibly rush to the pass, and after making a decision, the five people took out their weapons one after another, put on their masks, and only heard Liu Feiyan, who was the leader, screamed coquettishly, and urged the horse under his crotch to gallop forward, and the four people behind him also rushed forward when they saw this.

At this time, the soldiers who were checking at the door heard a neighing of horses in the distance, and they all looked in the direction of the sound, only to see five masked riders rushing over with various weapons in their hands. ”

The soldiers present must have arrived at the three words 'Flower on the other side', as if they had heard the name of the ghost, they fled in all directions, and for a while there was chaos at the gate of the city, Liu Feiyan and others saw this and hurriedly rushed out of Mayi County, and rushed towards Chang'an City.

It was five days after everyone returned to Chang'an, and after seeing Chu Mofeng, Liu Feiyan hurriedly informed Chu Mofeng of the news he had obtained, and Chu Mofeng, who got the news, went to the military headquarters overnight......

As the saying goes, combat readiness is unified, and looking at Chu Mofeng's Chang'an City restructuring of the Twelfth Army, Li Shimin designed to catch the traitor, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
