The next day, the Ministry of War and the Privy Council announced the situation of the Jianghuai war report to the public, and many gate lords and courtiers jumped out and angrily reprimanded Xu Shiji for leading the troops, so they should be deposed on the spot and sent someone else to take charge.

This is the gate valve force, a good opportunity to strike at a general from a poor family, I have long watched Xu Shiji unhappy, there is no great merit, he was exceptionally promoted, and it is not appropriate to be the commander of one party, if it were not for His Majesty's insistence on going his own way and reusing this person, he would definitely have been impeached a long time ago.

Now that he has an excuse, he is just making trouble, and he is clearly facing Xu Shiji, but he is actually mocking His Majesty for not knowing people properly.

Fortunately, Luo Zhaoyun had already discussed countermeasures with the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and the Political Affairs Hall last night, and Chen Qi, Qu Tutong, Chu Suiliang, and others stood up to defend themselves, analyzed the situation in Jianghuai, and defused the gate valve offensive, but the voice of impeachment was still endless.

In the end, Luo Zhaoyun spoke: "There is no permanent victory general in the world, a little setback, deny Xu Shiji's ability to lead troops, this is not appropriate, I have sent someone to send a letter to him, Xu Shiji is currently carrying out a new task, soon, I will be able to take all the rebel princes in the south in one net." ”

"Impeachment at this time, it is too early, if during this period, he can't hold up my arrival in the Jianghuai land, and he will be defeated again, with heavy losses, and I will not be sheltered when I reach the front line, and he will be killed on the spot to establish military prestige!"

Luo Zhaoyun's words were sonorous and powerful, with a murderous aura in his words, and the majesty of the king suddenly made the Jinluan Palace have a murderous aura.

The ministers all quieted down, and also agreed with His Majesty's remarks, if Xu Shiji failed again, His Majesty would personally behead the army, which was also a very severe warning.

Next, Luo Zhaoyun said the news of inspecting the eastern capital and intending to march south, and thanks to the support of first- and second-class officials such as the Political Affairs Hall, the Military Department, and the Household Department, the matter was settled very smoothly.

Even Wei Zheng, the most upright imperial historian, did not express his opinion, and the rest of the people just wanted to refute it, but they had no excuse or sufficient reason, so they had no choice but to accept the facts.

This time he went to the Eastern Capital, and Luo Zhaoyun asked people to announce the list, and some old ministers were listed, such as Qu Tutong, the secretary of the Ministry of War; Pei Ju, who has just been activated, is one of the five nobles of the former dynasty; Yang Gongren, son of Yang Xiong; Dou Wei, the current representative of the Dou Valve, and so on, are impressively listed, some are indeed talented and need to be reused, and some are completely to beware of doing things in the capital.

There were sixty or seventy officials on the list, all of whom were going to Luoyang City together.

"Obey orders!" And those who were named stood up to receive the commandment and bow their favor.

"In addition, I have a great event to announce!"

The ministers were stunned for a moment, and they didn't know what they were happy about now?

"I and Li Xiuning have known each other for a long time, because of their different positions later, and they were enemies for a time, and now Tang Guogong Li Yuan and other family members have returned to Beijing, I and Li Xiuning have been together for a long time, and they have feelings for each other, and they plan to canonize Li Xiuning as Jieyu's concubine. Canonized Li Yuan as the Duke of Anguo and restored the title of Duke of Guo, but considering Li Yuan's advanced age, he will not arrange specific positions, he can retire in the capital, or he can go to the fiefdom of Qinghe County in Longxi to retire for the rest of his life. ”

The people of Li Valve in the court showed joy when they heard the words, and Li Valve was suppressed by Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Yang of Sui for two generations, and killed many big clans. After the rise of Li Tang, Li Valve was revitalized, but after Li Tang was destroyed, the Li family declined again, and now Li Xiuning is the concubine, and Li Yuan has also restored the position of the Duke of Guo, and suddenly thinks that Li Valve's future development has reduced the obstacles.

However, some of Li Tang's former ministers sighed in their hearts, that Li Yuan was once the lord of a country, but now he is completely isolated from his career and is idle at home.

But to be able to save his life and live for the rest of his life can be regarded as His Majesty's mercy.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Concubine Na Liang again!"

The ministers congratulated and worshiped the emperor, which was quite harmonious, and there was no opposition.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Luo Zhaoyun returned to the courtyard of the harem, thinking that he had not yet communicated with Li Xiuning, so he went directly to the palace where Li Xiuning lived.

At this time, the harem has received the canonization decree, and Li Xiuning's desk also has the will to canonize Jieyu, this Jieyu is in the rank of the harem concubine, the second grade, not low, for the woman who has just entered the palace and was canonized, it is already a special honor and treatment.

But Li Xiuning, the Iron Lady, thought of it not because of the vulgar ideas of the level, but that she really became Luo Zhaoyun's woman.

No more sneaking around or making some kind of deal.

In the past, she had mentioned taking the initiative to sacrifice herself and serve the king, provided that Luo Zhaoyun let go of dealing with Li Tang, or spare the lives of her father and brother.

But Luo Zhaoyun did not agree, his decision-making will not be exchanged for beauty because of a woman's intercession, which is a blasphemy against himself, love, and Li Xiuning.

Now that Li Tang has fallen, Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji have saved their lives, and the other family members have returned to Chang'an City safely, and they will have no power in the future, but they have fiefs, and there is no problem with wealth and nobility for several generations, and it is also a happy ending.

Therefore, Li Xiuning has no worries, and his hatred for Luo Zhaoyun has long disappeared, and he even has some appreciation and affection.

In the past two years, she was captured in the palace, read many poems by Luo Zhaoyun, and also devoted herself to it, read a lot of history books, watched the flowers bloom and fall, experienced the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and the whole person has precipitated a lot, no longer sharp, no longer strong and competitive.

This is a little more gentle and graceful, not the style and temperament of the Iron Lady in the past.

"Your Majesty and I are really going to get married......."

Just when Li Xiuning was in a daze, the voice of His Majesty's arrival came into the palace, and Li Xiuning came back to his senses and got up and went out to greet him.

"Concubine Xiuning, welcome Your Majesty."

Luo Zhaoyun stood in the courtyard, handsome and upright, looked at Li Xiuning's face, and said with a slight smile: "Have you seen the canonization will, are you willing?" ”

Li Xiuning was stunned for a moment, and then realized that His Majesty was asking her if she was willing and respecting her choice.

"Well, if you can accompany you for a lifetime and grow old together, Xiuning has no regrets."

"Haha, having a wife like this is also a great luck for me." Luo Zhaoyun stepped forward, took Li Xiuning's hand, and said: "From now on, we are a real family, all the previous things have been revealed, let's start again!" ”

"Start over!" Li Xiuning muttered to herself, her eyes met Luo Zhaoyun's deep and sincere gaze, feeling the other party's sincere feelings and sincerity, and seemed to understand this deep meaning. Laughing at enmity, the past is like a cloud, no longer entanglement in the previous events, re-understanding, re-living, and integrating into a new life.

He is the king, she is the concubine, hand in hand for a lifetime, and there will be no regrets from now on.
