Changchun Palace, was built in the fifth year of Baoding of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty (565), built by Yuwen Hu, and was originally named Jincheng. In the second year of Jiande (573), because of the cliffs on three sides of Jincheng, the Yellow River in the east, facing the ancient Pujin Pass, ascending can look at Taihua and Zhongtiao two mountains in the distance, overlooking the three rivers of Huang, Luo and Wei, the flowers and trees are lush and flourishing at four times like spring, so it was renamed Changchun Palace. In the thirteenth year of Emperor Wen of Sui (593), the palace was added, and the palace site was expanded to more than 300 acres.

In the thirteenth year of the Great Cause (617), Li Yuan and his son raised troops from Taiyuan to the west into Guanzhong, and after crossing the Yellow River, they first stationed here and then took Chang'an.

In the second year of Tang Wude (619), the Daxingtai of Shaanxi East Road was placed here. At this time, the place was guarded by Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and the Hedong army was under his command.

As the saying goes: when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. At that time, the Changchun Palace was the same, in the past, when Li Shimin was the Duke of Wei, he had Liu Wenjing, the eldest grandson Shunde, Duan Zhixian, Duan Hui (the word Zhihe), Yin Kaishan, Liu Hongji, Tang Yu (the word Qingyun), Li Anyuan, Tang Jian, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Yu Zhining, Qiu Xinggong, Qiu Shili, Luo Junde, Qu Tutong, Du Ruhui, Dou Lukuan, Wang Junyi, Zhang Shigui, Yao Silian, Chu Liang, Wei Lun, Hou Junji, Zhou Hu, Li Mengwei, Quan Wanchun, Yan Silu, Zhai Changsun, Yuan Xuanze, these 30 generals.

Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, there has been an endless stream of people from all over the country who have come to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but all those who lead troops to surrender to the city must first enter Chang'an to meet Li Yuan, and Li Yuan will be distributed after consulting with the military department.

At this time, the chief officer of the military department of the Tang Dynasty was actually not Qu Tutong, the secretary of the military department that people subconsciously thought, and the actual person in the military department at this time was the hussar general Chu Mofeng, which is not to say that Chu Mofeng occupied the magpie's nest, but in view of Qu Tutong's knowing that Chu Mofeng was the same as himself, he was all the way to the Qin Palace, so in many cases, whenever Chu Mofeng expressed his opinion, Qu Tutong would follow his opinion.

Because Qu Tutong has served in the Sui Dynasty for many years, he has some general understanding of the people who came to surrender to the Tang Dynasty from all over the world, and Chu Mofeng has an intelligence network in his hand that no one knows, every time someone comes to surrender, the two will inevitably gather at the military department to discuss, and over time, they can recruit people who are good at fighting, such as Changsun Cao, Zheng Rentai, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda, Wu Heimin, Tian Liuan, Li Junxian, Gongsun Wuda, Xue Shui, Cui Shanfu, Zhang Yun and others were all sent to Li Shimin by the two in various names.

Before these people were accepted by Li Shimin, they may not even know that their ancestors and relatives had already been investigated clearly by Chu Mofeng, which is why Chu Mofeng was relieved that these people followed Li Shimin in Changchun Palace.

Who knew that since Wang De told Chu Mofeng the news, when he returned to the house, Chu Mofeng locked himself in the study, took out the information of all the previous generals, and flipped through them one by one.

At this time, in the Changchun Palace, in a corner not far from the thatched house, a person squatted on the ground with his back to the outside, holding an object in his hand and was busy all the time, only to hear a burst of 'cooing' sounds.

I saw that after this person was busy for a while, he suddenly got up, threw the object in his hand into the air, and then rushed into the hut without looking back.

The object froze in the sky for a moment, then suddenly stretched out a pair of wings and sped away towards the west, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Since Qin Qiong came to Changchun Palace under Li Shimin in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of War, Li Shimin had already heard of Qin Qiong's bravery, and treated him very politely, and awarded him the position of the head of the horse army, and guarded Changchun Palace with him. This made Qin Qiong, who was used to seeing Wang Shichong's treachery, feel the slightest warmth, and then strengthened her determination to assist Li Shimin in her heart.

Last night, Li Shimin suddenly called someone to summon Qin Qiong urgently, and when Qin Qiong came to Li Shimin's residence, he found that three unknown women were in Li Shimin's room. ”

Qin Qiong on the side thought that Li Shimin was afraid of being heard and deliberately let his subordinates avoid it, so he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists at Li Shimin and said, "His Royal Highness King Qin, my subordinates don't know whether to say something or not?"

"Chief Qin said that it was okay, and the people listened to it. Seeing this, Li Shimin thought that Qin Qiong had something important to say, so he hurriedly motioned for him to speak.

I saw Qin Qiong glaring at the three women angrily, and said angrily: "His Royal Highness King Qin, although there is no war in Changchun Palace at this time, you can't indulge yourself in prostitution?"

"Prostitute, this king doesn't, did you misunderstand, Chief Qin?" Listening to Qin Qiong's words, Li Shimin sat on a chair and looked at him curiously, his eyes full of puzzlement and doubt.

Qin Qiong immediately took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand and pointed at the three women in the room and said, "Your Royal Highness King Qin, don't quibble, these three people are not courtesans? ”

Li Shimin looked at the three women on the side, shook his head and said, "These three are not my sister's subordinates, you guessed this right, Manager Qin." ”

"That's it, in that case, for the sake of the wisdom of His Royal Highness King Qin, such a shameless woman will be killed by her subordinates. After speaking, Qin Qiong took out the four-edged gold armor on his waist and slashed at the three women on the side.

Originally, I thought that these three women would tremble and kneel and beg for mercy, but who knew that one of the women shouted angrily: "Blind your dog eyes, what does the old lady look like a courtesan?"

I saw the other two women flashing left and right, and one of them shouted in his mouth: "Zhen'er, be careful, the weapon in that guy's hand is the same as your brother's, and it belongs to the path of one force to ten meetings." ”

The woman before answered, but she greeted her without hesitation, at this time Qin Qiong was shocked, she originally thought that she was just an ordinary courtesan, but she never thought that she would not only know martial arts, but also her knowledge was not ordinary, so she couldn't help but be alert in her heart.

And Li Shimin, who was sitting on the side, pinched his chin as if watching a play, looking at the two people who were about to meet each other, only to hear a deafening sound coming out, Qin Qiong's four-edged gold armor and the woman's knife collided together, and the powerful force collided, and suddenly set off a puff of smoke and dust in the house.

Both of them were shocked by the strength of the other party and retreated a few steps, and after the woman stabilized her figure, the woman who did not speak before shouted: "Zhen'er, you rest for a while, I'll go back and forth to him." ”

When Qin Qiong heard this, he turned his head to look, only to see the woman who spoke holding a spear and stabbing at Qin Qiong's neck at a very tricky angle.

Just in the midst of the lightning, only to hear the sound of 'ding', the tip of the spear pierced the back of the four-edged gold armor and could no longer advance a bit, the woman saw this and the spear in her hand retreated vigorously, took advantage of the situation to grasp the tip of the gun, slashed the handle of the gun horizontally one hundred and eighty degrees, and pulled it towards Qin Qiong's cheek.

At this time, Qin Qiong had no time to accept the recruitment, seeing that the handle of the gun was coming towards him with a gust of wind, Qin Qiong had no choice but to use a move to iron plate bridge, and the whole person leaned back, thinking that this time he had dodged this killing blow.

As everyone knows, this woman has played with the spear to the extreme, and when the handle of the gun reaches the top of Qin Qiong, it suddenly seems to be blocked by something, and she can be castrated, and then she sees the handle of the gun quickly drawn downward.

Seeing that the handle of the gun was slowly enlarged in his eyes, Qin Qiong pulled the horizontal frame upward, and then there was another 'bang', and the handle of the gun and the four-edged gold hammer collided together again. However, the force was late, and Qin Qiong was shocked by this shock.

At this time, Li Shimin thought that if he continued to fight, it was estimated that one of them would be injured, so he hurriedly stood up and shouted: "Stop both." ”

I only heard the woman with the gun snort coldly, quickly withdrew the spear and stood aside, and Qin Qiong was able to get up at this time, only to see Li Shimin said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that the members of the team under the command of that kid are excellent in martial arts, and it is really an eye-opener for this king when I see it today, three girls, blame me for not making this matter clear in advance, I apologize to the three here, and I hope that the three adults have a lot of them, spare this bastard." After speaking, he said to Qin Qiong: "Don't apologize to the three girls, what kind of fireworks women are these three, this is the Tang Hussar General, the other side flower squad under the command of the Duke of Qi Guo personally appointed by His Majesty." ”

As soon as he heard that it was the other side flower under Chu Mofeng's command, Qin Qiong was shocked in his heart, thinking that the martial arts of the two women who had just made a move were already good, and it was estimated that the one who didn't make a move was not far off in kung fu, but he didn't expect it to be General Chu's person.

Thinking of the rumors in the army that Chu Mofeng is known and good at making good use of his subordinates, he is compassionate to his subordinates, and he is bold and righteous, but there is a little bit of --- to protect his shortcomings, if anyone provokes him, as long as it is not his person who is at fault, then the other party will definitely not end well, but if his person makes a mistake, it is said that Chu Mofeng's punishment is not ordinary ruthless.

I remember that Yin Kaishan once mentioned one thing to himself, because he did not listen to the orders with Li Shimin, the whole army was defeated, and His Majesty had not yet ascended the throne at that time, and Chu Mofeng was just the head of the forbidden army, but he hung Yin Kaishan in the camp for three days and three nights, and after that, Yin Kaishan trembled when he saw Chu Mofeng.

Thinking of this, Qin Qiong couldn't help but secretly regret in her heart, if she had asked clearly, she would not have provoked these three aunts and grandmothers, so she had no choice but to make a big salute to the three of them and said: "Three girls, I don't know what is right and wrong, whether it is or not, I hope the three can forgive it." ”

I saw that the woman who had never made a move said with a smile: "Manager Qin said that it was funny, we sisters have walked the rivers and lakes for so many years, and we have never heard any evil words, this little thing is okay." After speaking, he lightly opened his lips and said to Li Shimin: "His Royal Highness King Qin, let's continue the topic of Fang Cai." ”

I saw Li Shimin nodding and said to Qin Qiong: "Manager Qin, there is a big thing that you need to do tomorrow, but you can't tell anyone before that, can you do it?"

Qin Qiong put away the four-edged gold armor, nodded and said, "His Royal Highness King Qin, please command, his subordinates must be tight-lipped." ”

Seeing this, Li Shimin nodded, summoned Qin Qiong to step forward, whispered a few words in his ear, and then stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "This matter is very important, and I hope that Chief Manager Qin will not disappoint this king." ”

After Qin Qiong left, Li Shimin said to the three women: "Miss Liu, everything depends on tomorrow." ”

At this time, Qin Qiong led several soldiers with superb archery skills to stand on the west city wall, and he was holding a longbow in his hand, looking up and searching in the sky.

The clear sky was cloudless, the sight was absolutely good, and a group of people raised their heads and searched carefully, shaking their slightly sore necks from time to time, when suddenly one of them shouted: "Coming, coming, shoot down quickly." ”

Immediately, I saw a few arrows speeding towards an object in the sky, and a few arrows were not missed, seeing that this thing was about to go away, I saw Qin Qiong pull out an arrow, twist the arrow and pull the bow, and move with this object, only to hear the sound of 'boom', and the arrow in his hand shot towards which object with a golden light.

The arrow pierced into this object in an instant, and then saw that this object was hovering and falling from the sky, and it could be landed on the head of the city, Qin Qiong threw away the longbow in his hand when he saw this, and hurriedly ran over, and looked at it to see that it was a pigeon.

I saw Qin Qiong groping around their legs for a while, and sure enough, they took out a note from the bamboo tube tied to their legs, and while the rest of the people were not paying attention, Qin Qiong quickly hid the note, turned around and threw the pigeon in his hand to those soldiers and said: "Damn, I shot a pigeon in half a day, you guys are here to watch it well, see if there are any geese passing by, and strive to shoot a few more nights." ”

After saying that, Qin Qiong turned around and went down the city wall, walking towards Li Shimin's residence, after seeing Li Shimin, Qin Qiong handed him the note, Li Shimin took the note and opened it to take a look, only to see that the note read: Qi Guogong went to Changchun Palace to investigate, I am afraid that it will happen to you, I hope to be more careful, please find out if it has been exposed.

After reading this note, Li Shimin sighed and motioned for Qin Qiong to step back first, while he sat on the chair, raised his head and closed his eyes, and kept muttering: "Why, why?"

At this time, a voice came: "At the beginning, this person was used by others, because this person was not your person, and now he will be used by that person, it can be seen that the promise given by that person is quite rich, the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit." Now that it has been ascertained, I wonder what His Royal Highness King Qin is going to do?"

I saw Li Shimin open his eyes, looked at Liu Feiyan in front of him, hesitated for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, invite him to come and confront him face to face." ”

Zhang Jian calculated that the time was almost up, and hurriedly walked out of the latrine, and saw a soldier running in a hurry, and said to Zhang Jian: "Zhang Tou, why are you still here? His Royal Highness the King of Qin has been looking for you for a long time, hurry up." ”

Zhang Jian nodded when he heard this, and hurriedly ran towards Li Shimin's residence, and when he saw Li Shimin, he saw Li Shimin open his mouth and said: "Zhang Jian, the news has just come from the imperial court, and today you will pay an additional half-monthly salary, you can sign for the guards and receive it." ”

Zhang Jian didn't know that there was a fraud, so he stepped forward and wrote his name on the paper that Li Shimin took out, and was about to receive the money and leave, only to see Li Shimin say: "Write down how many people have received it, and finally write a sentence that you have received it and will not be in arrears." ”

Zhang Jian took the opportunity to write down according to Li Shimin's instructions, and then said to Li Shimin: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the villain first took the silver and went down to distribute it to the brothers. After saying that, he looked around for the money.

At this time, Li Shimin sighed faintly, and said with a little regret: "Zhang Jian, what benefits did Li Mi and the current crown prince promise you? Let you lurk by my side at all costs?"

Zhang Jian was suddenly stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the King of Qin, why did you say this? How could the villain have a relationship with Li Mi and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Seeing that Zhang Jian was still denying, Li Shimin raised the note in his hand and said to him: "The carrier pigeon you released today has been shot down by someone I arranged, and the handwriting has been compared, it is yours, what else do you have to say?"

Seeing this, Zhang Jian's eyes rolled, and he pretended to be calm and said, "His Royal Highness King Qin can't frame his subordinates with just a note, right?"

"So far, you still deny everything, then let me ask you, your parents died early, who did you go to the capital to meet when you asked me for leave a few days ago? Qi Guogong has already sent someone to inquire about your affairs, do you want me to talk to you about it?" Seeing that Zhang Jian still refused to admit it, Li Shimin was angry, reached out and clenched his fist and slammed the table next to him, which shook the inkstone on the table.

At this point, Zhang Jian knew that he had been exposed, and seeing that there were only himself and Li Shimin in the room, he took out the long sword at his waist and stabbed at Li Shimin, originally thinking that he could succeed with one blow, but when the tip of the sword was still a punch away from Li Shimin, suddenly the whole person was pushed aside by a force, and then an indescribable pain came up along the waist.

Zhang Jian looked down, only to see a spear along his waist into it, from the other side, nailed himself to the pillar on the side, only to see a woman walking from the side, said with a smile: "The most hated thing about this girl is the person who is a traitor." ”

At this time, Li Shimin sighed and said to Zhang Jian: "This king treats you as his own, but you treat this king like this, which really disappoints me." After speaking, he snatched the long sword in Zhang Jian's hand, slashed at his throat, and then whispered: "You can go in peace, woe to your wife and children, your family can live with peace of mind." ”

Zhang Jian only felt a chill in his throat, and then his eyes went black and he lost his breath, Xiao Ruolan on the side grabbed the handle of the gun and pumped it hard, and Zhang Jian fell to the ground like a broken sack.

At this time, Qin Qiong led a few personal soldiers in, quickly dragged Zhang Jian's body away, carefully cleaned the ground, and then hurriedly retreated.

Then Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er walked in and said to Li Shimin: "His Royal Highness King Qin, since the traitor has been eliminated, it is inconvenient for our sisters to stay for a long time, so don't leave it at that!" After speaking, the three of them turned around and walked out of the house, came outside, turned over their horses, and drove in the direction of Chang'an.

After the three left, Li Shimin quickly summoned all the generals under his command and informed them of today's events, and everyone present scolded one after another, but only one person had a worried look on his face, and after Li Shimin signaled everyone to retreat, this person returned to his residence with a worried look.

It was night, there were still soldiers patrolling back and forth on the city wall of Changchun Palace, the sky was dark at this time, and the moon was hiding in the clouds as if lazy, and suddenly the world was like ink, in the residence of a certain general of Changchun Palace, with a sound of 'cooing', a pigeon rose up with the trend, shot towards the sky, and then flapped its wings and flew towards the direction of Chang'an in the west.

At this time, in the imperial study room of Chang'an Taiji Palace, Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Chu Mofeng, and various Shangshu were still discussing something.

I saw Li Jiancheng arch his hand to Li Yuan and said: "Father, the son-in-law thinks that this move is inappropriate, if some soldiers are changed to wartime battles and plough the fields in their spare time, it will inevitably affect both the soldiers' combat skills training and the land harvest, and the gains will outweigh the losses." ”

After listening to Li Jiancheng's words, Li Yuan nodded and said to Chu Mofeng, "What do you think of the prince's opinion?"

"Your Majesty, the imperial court has begun to implement the Juntian system, and then promulgating the government military system at this time is not only conducive to production, but also increases the government's tax revenue; it can not only expand the source of soldiers, but also indirectly clear the remnants of the division of Hu and Han, and the purpose of all this is still for the unification of the Tang Dynasty. Listening to Li Jiancheng's words, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but slander in his heart, damn, you kid really don't learn and don't know how to do it, what affects combat skills and production, and not everyone can be a soldier in this house, I really don't know if you have read Lao Tzu's recital?

At this time, Chu Mofeng looked at Li Yuan and continued: "At that time, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and their lives will be rich, who will be able to rebel?"

This sentence instantly got to the point, everyone present was a person who had gone through two dynasties, and the lessons of the Sui Dynasty were vivid, so the formulation, promulgation and implementation of any policy were extremely cautious.

Seeing this, Li Yuan smiled and said, "In that case, all of you Aiqing agree with Qi Guogong's statement?"

As soon as the words fell, Wei Zheng stood up and said to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, the law of the Duke of Qi is indeed a good policy, but the ...... person for this implementation is selected" After speaking, he turned his eyes to Li Jiancheng on the side.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng thought to himself, damn this, I can't let Li Jiancheng do it, if he is allowed to do it, the final effect will definitely be greatly discounted from what he expected, and the reputation of the court will be damaged at that time, and I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the future. ”

Li Jiancheng on the side was about to rush to accept it, but who knew that Chu Mofeng was the first to take the lead, and he suddenly choked and looked at Chu Mofeng angrily, while Li Yuan smiled when he heard the words and said, "What is the reason?"

"Your Majesty, the household department is in charge of the population, money, grain and fields, and the officials are in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials, the two Shangshu adults are loyal people, and Lord Wei Zheng has always been known as an upright person, with these three adults to supervise, the minister is absolutely assured. Chu Mofeng glanced at Li Jiancheng, and threw a word of praise at the three of them.

As the saying goes, everyone carries a sedan chair, from ancient times to the present, everyone likes to hear people say good things, at this time by Chu Mofeng praised, the three of them suddenly burst into joy, thinking that today when I saw this kid is really a person who is dedicated to the people, don't you see that you can put down your prejudices and compliment us for the implementation of a policy that benefits the people?

Thinking of this, the three of them hurriedly stood up and said to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, the ministers will definitely live up to the expectations of Your Majesty and the Duke of Qi Guo, and they will definitely implement this policy." ”

Li Yuan nodded, and said with a smile: "You see, when it comes to major national affairs, you both civil and military will put aside your prejudices and work together, I am very pleased, in this case, I ordered Wei Zheng, together with the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, to fully implement the reform of the new government and military system, and I want to see results in the shortest possible time." ”

Everyone in the room nodded yes, and Chu Mofeng, who bowed down, showed a satisfied smile and quietly glanced at Li Jiancheng, who was angry on the side.

After Li Jiancheng returned to the East Palace, he suddenly saw a pigeon on his case, hurriedly stepped forward and took out the note on the pigeon's leg, released the pigeon, and then picked up the note and looked at the candlelight, and then Li Jiancheng lit the note against the candle, threw it into the incense burner on the side, and slowly walked towards his study......

As the saying goes, the wheel of history will not stop moving forward because of someone's shake, and look at the trend of the wolf smoke everywhere intensifying, and then watch the Tang Empire go out to fight and kill, predict what will happen and listen to the next decomposition......
