The New Year of 618 A.D. was the first New Year since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and although it was still surrounded by strong enemies at this time, it seemed that all the separatist forces had stopped fighting during the New Year. This also made the people of the Central Plains breathe a sigh of relief and rejoice that they could have a stable New Year.

Whether it is Chang'an in Xijing or Luoyang in the east, or even Mayi, the capital of Liu Wu and Zhou, and Wei County, the capital of Yu Culture, all of them are full of the flavor of the year at this moment.

In Chang'an City, Li Yuan ordered a banquet for hundreds of officials and the clan on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, so Wang De began to issue invitations according to Li Yuan's will, and Li Yuan, who was in a good mood, felt that the righteous daughter Hua Ling'er had the grace to save his life, so he decreed that Hua Ling'er was canonized as Princess Wangyuan, known as Princess Wangyuan Ling, so far there have been two princesses in the Chu Mansion, and after the ministers learned the news, they all sighed that Chu Mofeng was a saint.

After learning that Hua Ling'er was canonized as a princess, Li Shimin thought that Chu Mofeng would definitely participate in this palace banquet, so he was ready to ask Li Yuan for an invitation to Chu Mofeng.

On this day, Li Shimin came to Li Yuan's imperial study after dispersing the dynasty, only to see Li Yuan sitting at the table to review the folds, Wang De on the side was carefully waiting, Li Shimin couldn't bear to be disturbed when he saw this, so he had to stand quietly and wait.

About an hour later, Li Yuan raised his head and rubbed his somewhat sour eyes, carefully sorted out the approved recitals, and Wang De on the side said respectfully when he saw this: "Your Majesty's diligence in political affairs is the blessing of our dynasty, and the old slave still hopes that Your Majesty will take care of the dragon's body, please rest for a while, and wait for the old slave to bring the ginseng soup." ”

Li Yuan nodded, seeing that Li Shimin was still waiting in the house, knowing that his son must have something to say, so he motioned for Wang De to retreat first, and after Wang De left, Li Yuan stood up and said, "I don't know what happened when I entered the palace today?"

"Father, Emperor Qi, the sons came today to ask, is there a name on the list of this year's palace banquet?" Li Shimin thought about the purpose of his trip, but because of his identity, he didn't dare to say it, so he had to ask in a roundabout way.

"Which horse?" Li Yuan thought for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "The banquet in the palace is mainly to invite the royal family, the clan and the ministers, the list has already been prepared, who is Wu'er asking for someone?"

Li Shimin sighed and said: "Father Qiqi, the son is not asking questions for that kid, you also know that the kid's temper is as stubborn as a donkey. ”

Listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Yuan couldn't help laughing, and was about to open his mouth when he heard Wang De's voice from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Princess Jade and Princess Ling are asking to see you outside the door, saying that they have something important to report." I wonder if Your Majesty has summoned the two princesses?"

As soon as he heard that it was his two daughters coming, Li Yuan hurriedly said, "Let them come in and talk." I only heard Wang De answer outside the door and say: "Two princesses, Your Majesty has a decree, announce that the two princesses will enter the imperial study to speak." ”

Li Yuhu and Hua Ling'er outside the door knew that this person was His Majesty's personal eunuch, so they hurriedly bowed to Wang De and said, "There is a prince of Lao." ”

Seeing this, Wang De smiled and said: "The two princesses said this, but they are tormenting the old slave, hurry up and go in, don't let Your Majesty wait." After speaking, he gently pushed open the door of the imperial study and motioned for the two to enter.

As the door of the imperial study was pushed open, Li Yuhu and Hua Ling'er rushed in, came to Li Yuan and knelt down in unison and said: "Daughter to see her father, may my father be healthy and live a long life." ”

"Hurry up. Seeing this, Li Yuan hurriedly motioned for the two to get up, and then said with a smile: "Why did you two sisters think of going to the palace to visit your father today? Did that kid bully you again? It just so happened that your brother was also here today, and you said that your father and brother made the decision for you." ”

After Li Yuhu and Hua Ling'er glanced at each other in the imperial study, they saw Li Yuhu smile and said: "Father, how can there be such a thing, my husband loves us very much at home, and he can't even speak loudly to us." ”

"Well, this kid has a heart, and he knows that he feels sorry for his own lady. Li Yuan stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Then why did you two enter the palace today?"

Li Yuhu hesitated for a moment, bit his lip and said: "Father Qiqi, the daughters are here today to take leave for your husband, and the husband said that he is going to Duling for the New Year this year, and the two sisters in the house will accompany him, and he should return to Chang'an on the second day of junior high school." ”

Hearing that Chu Mofeng would not participate in the banquet in the palace this year, Li Yuan couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart, and said stupidly: "I know, then the two of you must remember to enter the palace early." ”

Seeing that the task had been completed, the two hurriedly nodded and retired, and after Li Yuhu and Hua Ling'er left, Li Yuan remembered that it seemed that Li Shimin had asked if there was Chu Mofeng's name on the list. Then he said with a smile: "Erlang, you see that your question is in vain, that stinky boy must still be angry, so he will hide in Duling this year." ”

"Father, please forgive your son's rudeness, you must have thought about this matter. Li Shimin shook his head and said to Li Yuan: " As far as Erchen knows, the father of Shi Hanshuang, the eldest lady of Chu Mansion, is Shi Wansui, the former general of the Sui Shangzhu State, and Shi Wansui's ancestral home is Du Ling, when Mo Feng and Shi Hanshuang got married, Shi Wansui's wife was also present, and accepted Mo Ziyao at that time, that is, the second lady of Chu Mansion is now the righteous daughter, and later since Mo Feng traveled until he followed us to establish the Tang Dynasty, he has never gone back to visit, so Erchen thinks that since Du Ling is in Jingzhao County, it is reasonable to go back to visit this year, after all, this kid will go out with the army again after the New Year。 ”

Li Yuan sat on the chair, closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then sighed heavily and said, "Erlang, did you say that the punishment I gave him before was a little too severe?"

"Why did the father say this, the son understood that the father was also in a dilemma at that time, and it was necessary to protect him and block the courtiers' mouths, which was the right thing to do. Li Shimin shook his head and said slowly: "In fact, the courtiers all understand that it is not a matter of the father's words when and how to recover, but the retainers feel that Mo Feng does not seem to be here, so it is good to let him rest for a while." ”

"You kid, when did you learn to speak so tactfully like that kid, or later, when you return from the expedition, I must give him a reward. Sighing that his son had learned to look at problems rationally with Chu Mofeng, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart, and then said with a smile: "Okay, after chatting for so long, I'm a little tired, so you can kneel down." ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he hurriedly saluted Li Yuan and said, "Father, pay attention to take care of the dragon's body, and the sons and sons will retire first." After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the imperial study, and before he reached the door, he only heard Li Yuan say: "Your princess is pregnant and has difficulty moving, and in the Chinese New Year's Eve, I will arrange for someone to give a banquet to your mansion, so don't let the princess run back and forth." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin hurriedly turned around and thanked him, and then hurriedly left the imperial study. After Li Shimin left, Li Yuan was about to beckon Wang De to come in and serve, but he heard Wang De whispering outside the door: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to say that there is something important to report, do you want him to go in?"

When Li Yuan heard this, he thought to himself what was going on today? One or two of them had important things to report, especially since the prince didn't come here often, maybe there was something big. Thinking of this, Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "Xuan ......"

Outside the door, Wang De responded, turned to the crown prince Li Jiancheng and said, "His Royal Highness the prince, Your Majesty has allowed you to enter." ”

Li Jiancheng snorted coldly when he heard this, pushed the door arrogantly and walked in, and the moment the door of the imperial study was closed, Wang De, who had always bowed down, had a cold light flashing in his eyes, which was fleeting.

Li Jiancheng walked into the imperial study, did not greet Li Yuan first, but looked around, and then said to the door: "Princess, quickly retreat, I have something important to report to Your Majesty." After speaking, he slammed the door of the imperial study shut.

Wang De replied and asked: "Your Majesty, do you need the old slave to retreat left and right?"

"Just do it, remember to simmer the ginseng soup a little more and bring it later. I only heard Li Yuan's slightly tired voice coming from inside the room.

Hearing this, Wang De hurriedly retreated according to Li Yuan's request, and after the guards and palace maids retreated, Wang De slowly withdrew from the outhouse and walked towards the imperial dining room.

At this time, Li Jiancheng turned around and saluted Li Yuan and said, "Father Qi, the son is here today to prepare for the second brother's expedition after the New Year. ”

Li Yuan didn't make a sound when he heard this, just nodded and motioned for Li Jiancheng to continue, seeing that Li Yuan didn't speak, Li Jiancheng opened his mouth and said: "Father, the son thinks that it is inappropriate to send troops to recruit Li Liang after the year, after all, we are still maintaining a cooperative relationship with Li Liang at this time. ”

Hearing Li Jiancheng's high-minded talk, Li Yuan couldn't help but muttered in his heart, and Li Yuan, who was suspicious by nature, thought to himself, could it be that this kid felt that Erlang had made too much meritorious service and was afraid that he would be overpowered by his achievements in the future? Or was he afraid that he would inherit the great treasure in the future and everyone would not be convinced?

Thinking of this, Li Yuan stood up, stared at Li Jiancheng with dead eyes, and said sharply: "You say, are you afraid that your younger brother's military merits are too high, and there will be obstacles to your succession to the throne in the future? As the crown prince, have you not learned the truth of fraternity and generosity? Is it because your master did not teach you or do you disdain to learn these things at all?"

As soon as Li Yuan's voice fell, the atmosphere in the imperial study instantly dropped to freezing, and from Li Yuan's words, Li Jiancheng heard boundless anger, so frightened that he knelt on the ground tremblingly, and said tremblingly: "Father Emperor Mingjian, the son of the minister is wronged, how can the son of the minister have such a dirty idea." Erchen just felt that Jinyang was still under Liu Wuzhou's eyelids, and the direction of Luoyang was always ready to move, since Li Liang was at peace with us for the time being, it was better to deal with Liu Wuzhou or Wang Shichong with all his strength first, and it would not be too late to find an opportunity to exterminate Li Rail in the future. ”

At this time, Li Yuan sneered and said, "In that case, why didn't you say it in the court that day? Or do you have any selfish intentions? Do you want to see your brother make a fool?" After speaking, Li Yuan slammed the table vigorously, only to hear a 'bang', and the inkstones on the table were shaken.

That 'bang' sounded like a thunderclap on the ground to Li Jiancheng at this time, which scared Li Jiancheng trembling, and after thinking about it, he could only grit his teeth and say: "Father Emperor Mingjian, how can Erchen have such a bad intention, since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Erchen has been in Chang'an and has never gone on an expedition. ”

Seeing Li Jiancheng's tearful words, Li Yuan couldn't tell whether his words were true or false for a while, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was indeed a little inappropriate to ask Li Liang for this matter, so he had no choice but to nod and say: "That's it, I don't bother to tell the truth of what you said, but one thing you said is very right, it is indeed inappropriate to ask Li Liang for this matter, you can step down, you brothers and sisters have come to me here again and again today, and I am also a little tired." ”

Li Yuan immediately waved his hand and motioned for Li Jiancheng to retreat, while he leaned back on the chair in the imperial study and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Seeing this, Li Jiancheng had no choice but to reluctantly retreat to Li Yuan, turned around and left the imperial study. After returning to the East Palace, Li Jiancheng rushed into the study, wrote a letter and handed it to the servant who was waiting outside the door, saying: "Send this letter to Li Yuanji, the king of Jinyang Qi, and there must be no mistake." ”

This person received the order and left quickly, looking at the back of this servant, the expression on Li Jiancheng's face instantly became a little hideous.

At this time, the plan for himself and Chu Mofeng was destroyed, and Li Shimin, who was still unaware, was leisurely walking towards his mansion, and before he reached the door of the mansion, he was suddenly stopped by the person behind him. Li Shimin turned his head and saw that it was Li Yuhu and Hua Ling'er's carriage, and then urged him to ask, "I don't know what happened to the two sisters?"

I saw Li Yuhu glancing at Li Shimin and said: "Second brother, I have nothing to do today, and I suddenly remembered that I haven't been going to greet my sister-in-law for a long time, and I happened to go with Ling'er, isn't it convenient for the second brother?"

Suddenly, Li Shimin understood what Li Yuhu meant, and hurriedly said with a smile: "My sister came to the door, how can it be inconvenient to say that there is something inconvenient in the house, hurry up and follow me." After speaking, he rode a horse to lead the way in front and led Li Yuhu and the others towards the mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion of King Qin, Li Shimin hurriedly ordered his subordinates to close the door of the mansion, turned to Li Yuhu and said, "Say, there is something important." ”

I saw Li Yuhu take out a letter from his arms and hand it to Li Shimin, and then whispered: "Second brother, this is what my husband told me to pass it on to you before leaving, you can read it yourself slowly, I will take Ling'er to find my sister-in-law." After speaking, he grabbed Hua Ling'er's hand and walked towards Princess Qin's residence.

Li Shimin found a corner where no one was around, unfolded the letterhead and read it roughly, only to see Chu Mofeng write in the letter: I thought about it for a long time before leaving, I am afraid that the plan discussed before is a little inappropriate, and there are bound to be people in the DPRK and China who will deliberately obstruct it.

After reading the letter, Li Shimin walked to the back kitchen of the house, threw the letterhead into the stove, returned to his study alone, and sat quietly in the study, Li Shimin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Why did Chu Xiaozi write such a clueless letter to himself, he didn't know the reason at this time, but Chu Xiaozi had already gone to Duling, and he couldn't go to him, thinking about it, Li Shimin still chose to follow Chu Mofeng's advice, and after making up his mind, Li Shimin walked out of the study.

At this time, there are less than twenty days left before the New Year, and the cold wind of deep winter is raging everywhere in the courtyard, rolling up pieces of withered leaves, and the sun in the sky is now exuding a withered yellow but mixed with a trace of white light, staring at the entire Central Plains land lonely.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Shimin thought to himself, could it be true that what Chu Xiaozi said earlier was true? Because of his high military achievements, he was really jealous of his father or the crown prince? But he and they are father and son are brothers? Li Shimin, who couldn't figure this out, simply decided not to think about it for the time being, and waited for Chu Mofeng to come back.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for news to come from the palace that Li Yuan issued an order to postpone the westward expedition to Li Liang, and then Li Yuan issued an edict "The Taiwei of Qin Province in Eastern Shaanxi Province", and ordered the second son of Qin King Li Shimin to serve as the secretary of the Eastern Shaanxi Province.

The text said: On the Tao Jingbang, Ren Wei Xunde. Divide Shaanxi as an uncle, and send relatives and sages. Shang Shuling, Yongzhou Mu, General Youwuwei, Shangzhuguo, Qin Wang Shimin, Qi Yu is deep, and he is wise and heroic. ...... Today, the district is Yu Fang, Gongluo is still in ruins, the town is customary, and the capital is real. But the Taiwei and the envoy held the eastern Shaanxi line, and the governor of Puzhou and Hebei provinces and the soldiers of the east were subject to the festival, and the remaining officials were all the same.

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar in the court, and the military generals thought that the New Year was a good time to conquer the Quartet, and at this time the order was given to let the King of Qin sit in the Changchun Palace, which was bound to lose the best opportunity to attack;

And Chu Mofeng, who was far away in Duling, received the news before the will was read, looking at Li Yuan's "Qin Wang Taiwei Shaanxi Eastern Journey System", Chu Mofeng couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that his father-in-law is really suspicious, and Chu Mofeng vaguely read Li Jiancheng's shadow from it.

Thinking of this, Chu Mofeng told Shi Hanshuang not to eat today, and locked himself in the study for most of the day, and after the last word was written, Chu Mofeng put down the pen in his hand, and after the ink on the paper was dry, he folded the whole piece of paper and put it in his arms, and then got up and walked out of the study.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, in the Lin De Hall of the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan led the royal family of the civil and military hundred officials to spend the first New Year since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, during the banquet Li Jiancheng glanced in the direction of Li Shimin while drinking, originally thought that Li Shimin would be depressed because of that will, who knew that Li Shimin was still sitting with a smile on his face, and from time to time he raised a glass with a minister below.

Seeing this scene, Li Jiancheng was puzzled in his heart, but there was no one like Chu Mofeng around him to analyze the problem for him, so he had the idea of recruiting Chu Mofeng in his heart.

On the first day of the first month of the second year of Wude, Li Shimin led his subordinates to Changchun Palace to sit in the town, and after Li Shimin's army was launched, Li Jiancheng in the East Palace suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had finally eliminated a great enemy.

After being excited, Li Jiancheng sent people to the Tiance Army station, intending to take the Tiance Army under his command, but who knew that the people who went to do business reported that the Tiance Army had been transferred by Chu Mofeng to Li Shimin's army and went to Changchun Palace together.

Li Jiancheng, who got the news, was very angry and couldn't help but scold, and all the subordinates of the East Palace saw this scene and did things cautiously, lest Li Jiancheng be angry with him.

And Chu Mofeng, who was in Duling, did not rush back to Chang'an after learning that Li Shimin went to Changchun Palace, but Chu Mofeng came to the study alone at night, unfolded the map and carefully examined it.

Immediately, Chu Mofeng found out the books that Shi Wansui had left in the ancestral house to corroborate it, and slowly sat on the chair, thinking that this Changchun Palace, which was built in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and is located in the Qiangliang Plain of Chaoyi County (now Dali, Shaanxi), seems to be far away from Chang'an, but in fact it has a high strategic position.

Changchun Palace is the fortress leading to Hedong and Shandong in the control of Guanzhong, although it belongs to the frontier palace, but the Tongzhou Chaoyi County is the gateway to Guanzhong, and it is the backing of Pujin Pass, and it is still the frontier position of Shandong, which is really the key point.

If there is a loss here, then the army will be able to go straight to Guanzhong without hindrance. Thinking of this, Chu Mofeng unfolded a piece of paper, picked up a pen and wrote something on it, then picked it up and browsed it carefully, and after confirming that there was no problem, he folded the paper and put it in his arms, quietly exited the study, and returned to his room.

After the Shangyuan Festival, Chu Mofeng, Shi Hanshuang, and Mo Ziyao said goodbye to Mrs. Du and returned to Chang'an leisurely in a carriage.

Chu Mofeng, who learned the news, hurriedly washed up, rode his horse and ran in the direction of Taiji Palace, and after entering the interior of the imperial city, under the guidance of a little eunuch, Chu Mofeng saw Li Yuan in the imperial garden.

As soon as he saw him, Chu Mofeng hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Grass people, Chu Mofeng sees Your Majesty." ”

Hearing Chu Mofeng's remarks the same as years ago, Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh angrily, waved his hand at Chu Mofeng and said, "You kid is still a grass people, you must be angry with me, otherwise why don't you come to the palace to accompany me during the New Year." ”

"Your Majesty's words are wrong, the grass people have been with Your Majesty since His Majesty was in the land of Longxing, so that they have not visited their families for many years, my Tang Dynasty is easy to quell the Longyou Rebellion, and can recuperate, the grass people have to take this opportunity to go back to their hometown to visit, and hope that Your Majesty will know it. Chu Mofeng pouted and smiled, and said something back.

After listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Li Yuan carefully thought about it, and found that what this kid said was indeed right, since he was preparing to raise troops in Jinyang, this kid has always been by his side to plan and work hard, thinking of this, Li Yuan suddenly felt remorse in his heart, regretting that his previous punishment of Chu Mofeng was too severe, so that he now has an alienation from himself.

Then Li Yuan smiled and said: "Okay, look at you, where is there a horse look, from tomorrow onwards you will enter the palace and don't want the grass people and grass people, I am determined to remove the position of Siping General, as for you, Jin is named the hussar general, the official position is from the first rank, and the two wives of your family are the second rank of the lady, and the people in your team are all women, so they are not awarded official positions, but the rank is from the sixth grade, and one should be issued with the rank of the same product." Are you satisfied?"

Hearing Li Yuan's words, Chu Mofeng's heart suddenly warmed up somehow, and he said softly: "Father-in-law, in fact, you really don't have to be like this, since the kid married Feng'er and Ling'er, then he is bound to do his best for the Tang Dynasty in this life." ”

"Since I sat in this position, I haven't heard you and Chai Shao call me my father-in-law for a long time, go about your business, I think you have also heard about the people, let him go to guard Changchun Palace, it is really because he is the only one who can lead the troops to the expedition in our Datang. Li Yuan sighed, and the whole person suddenly looked like a dying old man, showing endless fatigue, and then said slowly: "Since you are back, there are some things to snack, and sooner or later Datang will still be the world of your young people." ”

Chu Mofeng nodded, and then stood beside Li Yuan without saying a word, accompanying Li Yuan to look at the withered flowers and plants in the garden, at this time Li Yuan took a few steps forward and said: "Tomorrow above the court, I will give you a surprise, stay in the palace today to have a meal with me, and stay in the palace when it is late, it is convenient to go to court tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, Chu Mofeng respectfully said to Li Yuan: "The minister respectfully obeys His Majesty's will. ”

Seeing Chu Mofeng bow down again, Li Yuan laughed happily, and then summoned Wang De and ordered a banquet to be held in the Wude Hall of Taiji Palace.

On the morning of the second day, a cadre of civil and military ministers received the news that Chu Mofeng drank with His Majesty last night and stayed in the palace, and for a while everyone in the military generals was excited, thinking that they didn't know which dynasty and which generation began, and Wenchen always pressed the military generals, until the beginning of this dynasty, the military generals finally came out of a strong platform, thinking that this person invariably worshiped Chu Mofeng as an idol.

And after Wenchen learned the news, he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart that it was not good, it was easy to borrow Chu Mofeng from Chen Xinjie's hand to rectify it, who knew that this kid turned over and once again became a saint, and for a while, all Wenchen racked their brains and thought hard about good strategies, looking forward to suppressing the benchmark of this military general again.

After entering the Taiji Palace, Chu Mofeng consciously stood at the back of the military general's line, thinking about what this old man was going to do today, and said that he wanted to surprise himself, who knows if it was a drunken talk that he drank too much last night.

was thinking about it, only to hear Wang De's long-lost male duck voice in front of him, "Your Majesty has arrived at ......"

Everyone hurriedly knelt down to say hello, and after Li Yuan signaled everyone to calm down, they only heard Wang De shouting again: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat ......."

Immediately, the household department took out the matter of the initial rent adjustment method and discussed it, and after getting Li Yuan's approval, the hall was suddenly silent, and Li Yuan said with a smile when he saw this: "Since you Aiqing didn't start the matter, then I will talk about a few things." ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly looked at Li Yuan, only to see Li Yuan standing up and looking around for a long time, catching a glimpse of Chu Mofeng, who was standing at the end and was about to fall asleep, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Chu Aiqing, stand forward." ”

Chu Mofeng was about to fall asleep at this time, and the people next to him hurriedly dragged him when he saw this, and Chu Mofeng, who was suddenly awakened, looked at the people in the court, and asked in confusion: "Is the dynasty scattered?"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and then the person who had just dragged him whispered, "Silly boy, Your Majesty called you." ”

Chu Mofeng, who had only come to his senses at this time, said to Li Yuan: "Dare to ask what Your Majesty just said?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Mi walked out and scolded Chu Mofeng: "Bold Chu Mofeng, you are a pawn of the Qin Wangfu without official and position, and you dare to claim to be a minister in front of Your Majesty, who gave you such courage?"

Chu Mofeng glanced at Li Mi and said, "Lord Xing Guogong, it is Your Majesty who is talking to me at this time, Your Majesty is not yet angry, what are you doing with a roar?

Listening to Chu Mofeng's words, everyone present held back their smiles, but the constantly trembling body betrayed them, and Li Yuan above laughed, and then said to Li Mi: "Brother Xian, this kid is like this, don't be like him." ”

Seeing this, Li Mi flicked his sleeves and returned to Wenchen's queue, while the generals secretly gave Chu Mofeng a thumbs up, thinking that this kid was excellent in martial arts, but he didn't expect that his choking ability was also a must.

At this time, Li Yuan feigned anger at Chu Mofeng: "You kid, you who dare to sleep in the early dynasty from ancient times to the present, you are the first, I will let you step forward." ”

In view of the fact that he already knew the content of Li Yuan's reward yesterday, Chu Mofeng walked forward quickly, stood behind Li Shimin's original position, and said to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, can the minister stand here?"

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Well, yes, if you are my son, then you can also stand at the position where King Qin is standing now, right here, come forward and listen to the seal." ”

When Chu Mofeng heard this, he thought that the work was coming, so he hurriedly walked to the center and knelt down and said, "Minister Chu Mofeng, please show your majesty." ”

"I am deeply gratified that in view of the collapse of the previous dynasty and the need to remove some of the official positions of the former dynasty, today I am determined to remove the post of general of Siping......"

Listening to Li Yuan talking above, Li Mi sneered in his heart, thinking that His Majesty is ready to remove General Siping, see how you kid turns over?

Who knew that Li Yuan suddenly changed his words and said: "From now on, I will be promoted to the post of general of Chu Mofeng's hussars and command the entire Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court, and the ministers opened their mouths to stop it, and the generals echoed Li Yuan one after another, and for a while, there was a noise in the Taiji Hall due to the mutual market in Zhangye.

At this time, Li Yuan suddenly puffed up his breath and shouted: "Shut up, do you think this is the back garden of your mansion?"

When everyone heard this, they were silent, and looked at Li Yuan worriedly, only to see Li Yuan say slowly: "I have decided on this matter, you don't need to say more, today is just to inform you first, after the dispersal of the dynasty, I will draft a decree to announce to the world." ”

For a while, everyone's eyes looked at Chu Mofeng again, and Li Yuan did not signal Chu Mofeng to get up, but continued: "I feel the experience of the fall of the previous dynasty, and I know that as an emperor, I should be close to the virtuous ministers and far villains, so I decided to set up the Virtuous Ministers Pavilion in the Valhalla, and in the future, all the tablets of the virtuous ministers who have contributed to the Tang Dynasty will be stored here for the people of the world to admire." ”

It is said that literati have a good reputation, and as soon as Li Yuan's words came out, many scholars praised them, and Li Yuan looked at Chu Mofeng and said: "Chu Aiqing, I will give you a big gift today, and I am determined to correct the names of those loyal ministers who were unjustly killed by tyrants in the previous dynasty, and put their tablets into the Xianchen Pavilion." ”

Immediately, Li Yuan said to Wang De: "Read the list of the first batch of virtuous ministers to all Aiqing." ”

I saw Wang De take a step forward, took out a list and read: "Your Majesty has a decree, the first batch of former courtiers who entered the Xianchen Pavilion are as follows: Gao Xi, the former Taichangqing, Shi Wansui, the former general of the Shangzhu State, He Ruobi, the Guanglu doctor of the former dynasty, and Yuwen Bi, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites...... The above people are all loyal and virtuous ministers, but they were unjustly killed, and today I hereby decree for the above-mentioned people to be honest and pure, and I hereby praise this!"

As Wang De's names were pronounced one by one, tears flowed from the eyes of His Royal Highness's kneeling Chu Mofeng, and it has been twelve years since the third year of the great cause, and he finally achieved his wish and corrected his father's name.

After Wang De finished reading, Li Yuan smiled and said to Chu Mofeng: "How about General Chu, are you still satisfied with this gift from me?"

At this time, Chu Mofeng kowtowed to Li Yuan three times and said: "Minister Chu Mofeng thanked Your Majesty Longen, and the minister is willing to go to the soup for His Majesty's grand cause and hegemony." ”

"Flatten. ”

"Your Majesty Xie" Chu Mofeng kowtowed to Li Yuan three times again, then got up and returned to his original place.

Immediately, Li Yuan looked at the ministers in the palace and said: "The Tang Dynasty has just been established, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, I hope that all the ministers can fulfill their duties and make more contributions to the people of the world, and retire from the dynasty!"
