The first year of Wude was the nascent Li Tang Dynasty, a very unquiet year. The newly-born Li Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty is brewing a new fission. There are Turks and Tibetans who are ready to move, and now the Turks are sharpening their knives, which makes Li Yuan, who is over fifty years old, heartbroken.

For the Turkic cavalry who came and went like the wind, Li Yuan also had no good way. Although Li Shimin captured Xue Renguo and destroyed Western Qin, the northwest of the Tang Dynasty was temporarily stabilized. On the fourth day of the seventh month, taking advantage of the battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Qin Xue Ju, the Liang division personally led more than 6,000 infantry cavalry to invade Lingzhou, and was defeated by the hussar general Lin Xingcang. In early September, Liang Shidu invaded Yanzhou again. Duan Decao, the governor of Yanzhou, did not fight according to the armor, and when the morale of the Liang division was slack, he sent troops to attack, and when the two armies were fighting, Duan Decao personally led the light cavalry to cover from his formation, and the Liang division was defeated and fled, Duan Decao followed and pursued the road for 200 miles, and captured a lot.

However, Liang Shidu did not die and invaded Lingzhou in early November, this time sending more than 5,000 Yu to garrison Wild Boar Ridge. Liang Shi was not worried, whether it was Lin Xingcang or Yang Ze, they were all people who knew the soldiers, but what worried Li Yuan the most was the more than 5,000 cavalry of the Turks.

Once the Turks go into battle in person, Lingzhou will definitely not be able to resist. However, today, the weather is freezing cold, and it is extremely difficult to increase troops in Lingzhou. If there are no reinforcements, I am afraid that Yanzhou and Lingzhou will no longer be owned by the Tang Dynasty.

For this reason, not only did Li Yuan not sleep well, but even Li Shimin's joy of defeating Xue Ju and destroying Western Qin diluted a lot. Yesterday in a dream, Li Yuan even dreamed that the Turkic soldiers killed Lingzhou to the point of a river of blood, and the corpses were like mountains. Looking at the snowflakes floating in the sky again, Li Yuan's mood was very bad.

Just when Li Yuan was about to despair, Li Xiuning entered the palace with a futon.

Seeing Li Xiuning coming in, Li Yuan's inexplicably irritable mood suddenly improved.

"Sanniang knew that her father was depressed, so she sent a new mattress over?"

Li Xiuning smiled: "Daddy, you don't know that this is a good thing!" ”

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, no matter how embarrassed the Tang Dynasty is, he will not treat Li Yuan badly. In fact, Li Yuan will never wake up like Chen Ying, he is covered with a good bearskin mattress, and the warmth effect is excellent. The emperor is the world, and the most important thing is not property, but the filial piety of his children.

Li Yuan said: "Sanniang, what do you want?" In addition to dissolving the marriage with Chai Shao, Daddy promised you! ”

When Li Xiuning heard this, he was inexplicably depressed. In fact, she did intend to dissolve this marriage with Chai Shao, but before she could speak, Li Yuan blocked the words.

Li Xiuning's face slowly sank.

Li Yuan had to patiently explain: "Sanniang, be patient for the time being, Daddy also has a hard time." Although our Datang says that the appearance is infinite, but in fact it is also eventful, this society really can't stand the toss! ”

Li Xiuning retorted: "Is that going to bury the happiness of my daughter's life?" ”

"It's not going to take a lifetime!" Li Yuan sighed and said: "Behind Chai Shao is the Chai Valve, and the Chai Valve and the Guanlong Group are intertwined, and they affect the whole body!" ”

Chai Shao's Chai clan is not actually Han Chinese. Their ancestors are the Xianbei Tugu Hun tribe of the Achai Department (known as Ayu), in the period of Emperor Wen of Sui, the national Xianbei surname collective sinicization, Achailu was renamed Chai. Although Li Xiuning also has Xianbei blood, she doesn't look down on Chai Shao.

A man who doesn't even have the courage to protect his own woman can be said to be a shame for men. Of course, Li Xiuning has no empathy at all, in fact, nomads are not at all as loyal as they are in later film and television dramas for women and love, what are you wind and sand, this is simply nonsense. When Temujin was down, he even threw away his wife, and the minister used Temujin's wife to give birth to a son for himself, but Temujin did not think so, and regarded him as a parent.

In fact, Chai Shao is the same, the different national habits naturally have different reactions to his wife. In nomads, a woman is just a tool that can have children, and at any time, any woman can take on this responsibility and don't care at all.

This is Li Xiuning's heart knot, Li Xiuning will never forgive Chai Shao, but Chai Shao thinks that he is actually not wrong.

Li Yuan reached out and took the soft down jacket, and immediately felt the difference.

In fact, without Li Xiuning's explanation, Li Yuan saw the military value of down jackets and duvets at a glance, if you use down to make a sleeping bag, this kind of airtight down sleeping bag will not cause frostbite or attrition due to cold even in the ice and snow. It's like I was about to fall asleep, and someone sent a pillow.

When he learned from Li Xiuning that Chen Ying, who invented the duvet suit, was only sixteen years old, Li Yuan's interest in him increased greatly.

……

Chen Ying followed Chen Qi all the way to the Vermilion Bird Gate of the Imperial Palace, and entering the Vermilion Bird Gate was considered to be entering the Imperial City. Ryazan and Suihu were left outside the door, after the inspection of the Praetorian Guard, fortunately, Chen Ying knew that Li Yuan was summoned, and did not carry his own blade, and he followed Chen Qi Road along the Yonglu Road to the north through Taichang Temple, Zongzheng Temple, Taifu Temple, Shangshu Province, and then entered the Sixteen Wei Marshal Mansion, the first to enter the left and right Wuwei Mansion, and then the left and right Qianniu Wei, Zhongshu Province.

Outside Chengtian Gate, Chen Ying was searched again, this time the search was very careful, and even took off his boots and touched them. Chen Qi saw that Chen Ying's face was a little unnatural, and immediately came up to explain: "General Chen, they are also duty, not deliberately embarrassing the general!" ”

Chen Ying's face eased slightly. Fortunately, this time it didn't take much time to enter Chengtianmen, the terrain opened up, and the surrounding temples and towers gradually showed some momentum, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, they finally came to the heavenly street outside Chengtianmen, where there were already as many as 100 ministers standing in threes and threes, most of them were dressed in scarlet, and there were only ten people in purple robes, so Chen Ying's arrival immediately caused a small commotion, and the surrounding civil and military ministers were privately speculating about the identity of this upstart.

Chen Qi was worried that Li Yuan would wait for a long time, and he was not false about the officials who came up to inquire about Chen Ying's identity.

Chen Qi suddenly pointed to the side hall and said, "General Chen is here to rest for a while, and our family is going to pay a respect!" ”

Chen Ying nodded.

Chen Qi took small steps and ran towards the Taiji Hall.

The side hall in the palace city was only treated by some old and important ministers, and the emperor didn't have time to summon them for a while, so they rested here for tea. This is the grace of the Son of Heaven, but most courtiers are not entitled to this honor.

Soon, Chen Ying knew that he was honored to be among those who were qualified to enjoy this grace.

"Xuanningyuan General Chen Ying is here!"

"Xuanningyuan General Chen Ying is here!"

Just when Chen Ying hadn't even finished drinking a cup of tea, he heard the sound of the Praetorian Guards shouting, coming from afar, and the sound was higher and higher.

Chen Ying hurriedly put the teacup in his cup and walked towards the Manna Hall.
