Hedong, Taiyuan City.

"It's magnificent!"

Li Daozong and Li Daoxuan, who were qualified to enter the Jinyang Palace for the first time to participate in the court meeting, felt amazed, the Jinyang Palace was originally built by Gao Huan, the powerful minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and later his son Gao Yang built the Northern Qi Dynasty, and it was a great construction project, and Taiyuan was built as the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the Jinyang Palace was expanded many times.

Yang Guang, the son of the current Sui Dynasty, was crowned King of Jin before he succeeded to the throne. It has always regarded Taiyuan as the birthplace. After being called the emperor, he built a lot of construction in Taiyuan. First, a new city with a height of 13 meters and a circumference of 3.5 kilometers was built outside the Jinyang Palace of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and then a warehouse city with a height of 13 meters and a circumference of 4 kilometers was built in the west of the new city, and then a second Jinyang Palace was built. The famous city of Taiyuan has been a strategic place since ancient times, and later sent Li Yuan to operate here.

After Li Yuan arrived in Taiyuan, he made this Taiyuan extremely prosperous, and Taiyuan City became a prosperous city that could be compared with Luoyang and Chang'an. In particular, this second Jinyang Palace, it took a lot of money and people to build, the palace is paved with gold bricks, glazed cornices, and it is indescribably magnificent.

Chai Shao, who had just been promoted to Tiger Benlang General on the side, said with a smile, "Jinyang Palace is indeed very beautiful, but it is still worse than Ziwei Palace in Luoyang. "Chai Shao used to be the son of a nobleman in Luoyang, the eastern capital, serving as the prince Qianniu preparation, although it was an idle position to accompany the prince to study, but he was no stranger to the palace. Seeing that Li Daoxuan and the others were shocked by this Jinyang Palace, they couldn't help but laugh.

Li Shimin, who was walking in front, also smiled slightly, and turned his head, "Today's court meeting will be guarded by our soldiers and horses of the Zuotun Guard, this matter is a heavy responsibility, we must not neglect our duties, everyone should go back to the team, and nothing can go wrong!" ”

Li Xiaogong, who was also promoted to the general of the Tiger Benlang, said, "General, please rest assured, the last general will never dare to relax at all!" ”

Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, Li Shentong, Li Daoxuan, Chai Shao and other generals under Li Shimin's Zuotunwei all left one after another and went back to patrol the guards. Over there, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, father and son, also walked over, and Li Yuan and Li Shimin, father and son, exchanged glances. Li Shimin's eyes signaled that everything was under control.

There are three fathers and sons, two of whom are purple and one is scarlet, and this power and wealth has also attracted a lot of side attention.

"Father, why is Erlang's Zuotun guard and horse guard guarding today's court, shouldn't Zuo Yiwei or Right Yiwei's palace guards be in charge of guarding?" Li Jiancheng looked at the Zuotun guards and horses that could be seen everywhere in Jinyang Palace at this time, and couldn't help but wonder if he said.

Li Yuan smiled, "Now, they are not at ease with both Zuo Yiwei and Right Yiwei. "Say it lightly, and stop at the point. But my heart is full of pride.

Today's Taiyuan City is really a treacherous situation. The Luoyang party of the Liao king has become more and more aggravated with the Chang'an Guanlong faction of Wei Wensheng, Wang Shichong and others. Today's court meeting is already a critical time. Both the Chang'an faction and the Luoyang party planned to have a final battle at today's court meeting, and both sides were determined to go all out. At this time, the safety of Jinyang Palace is of course also very important.

General Zuo Yiwei is Yu Wenhua, although Yu Wenhua is just a gentleman in the eyes of many people. But his father, Yu culture, and his position as General Zuo Yiwei have occupied for many years. Among Zuo Yiwei, there are now many henchmen. In today's situation, how can Yang Yong, the king of Liao, be willing to rest assured of Yu culture.

And Sima Dekan, the general of the Right Yiwei, was born in a humble background, and he has climbed to this point by relying on the emperor's promotion over the years. His background made him destined to be the same as those upstarts in Luoyang City, and now Yang Jian is the only emperor who is still the emperor's son, so he naturally chose to stand on the side of the Luoyang Party at this time. Therefore, the Chang'an faction couldn't believe in Sima Dekan's right guards.

In the end, the two sides found Li Shimin, and the Li family father and son are still on the edge of the two forces. Li Yuan was the landlord of Taiyuan City. Li Shimin is also the general of Zuotunwei. The father and son have more than 100,000 Hedong troops in their hands, and they have always been the object of the two parties. It's just that their attitude has been ambiguous, and they haven't decided where they belong yet. Both sides felt that Li Yuan was treacherous and slippery, and he was waiting for the price to sell, and he planned to choose to stand in line when the situation became clearer.

Although they are not ashamed of the Li family's father and son, as long as they do not fall to the opposite side for a day, the two parties can only value the Li family more. This time, the responsibility of guarding could have been handed over to Wang Shichong of the Huainan Army, who also remained neutral in the battle, but after thinking about it. In the end, the two sides still chose Li Yuan, who was the landlord of Taiyuan, and his son. …,

After a few steps forward, the two of them were stopping there in the distance, waiting for Li Yuan's father and son.

"Tang Gong, Da Lang, Erlang, I haven't seen you for a few days, everything is fine."

Standing there was Yang Wu of the imperial family and his son Yang Li, Yang Wu is now the commander of the palace guards Xiaoguo Army and the black-clothed Iron Guard, and on the bright side, the Xiaoguo Army is the soldiers and horses of the Zuo Beishen Mansion. However, in recent years, the Xiaoguo Army has long been compared with the four palaces of the palace, and there is no subordinate relationship. The Xiaoguo army used to have 20,000 horses, and the black-clothed iron guard was the most trusted guard by Yang Guang in recent years.

However, in the siege of Yanmen last time, the guards accompanying the car were also killed and wounded. The same goes for the Snap Army and the Black-Clad Iron Guard. After withdrawing to Taiyuan, the emperor remained unconscious. Although Yang Wu is constantly replenishing the soldiers and horses of the Xiaoguo Army and the black-clothed Iron Guard, but now, the Xiaoguo Army has only recruited 5,000 people, and the black-clothed Iron Guard is only 1,000 people, and the strength is difficult to reach the former level.

Li Yuan also nodded and said a few words, Li Shimin stood there and looked at Yang Wu's father and son, Yang Wu and he had fought side by side in Yanmen, and there was still some friendship between them. At this time, he also said with a smile, "Since the return of Yanmen, it is the first time to meet Lord Yang, and after the dissolution of the court meeting today, the official wants to set up a banquet in the mansion, hoping that Lord Yang will appreciate the light at that time." ”

Although Yang Wu is said to be a royal family, the royal family of the Sui Dynasty can neither be divided into feuds, nor can they sit in the position of the chief official of the three provinces and six departments. In the past, when the emperor was still fine, he was still a little powerful, but as soon as the emperor fell, his soldiers and horses were lost, but he was suddenly sparsely deserted in front of the door. Seeing that the father and son of the Li family, who are now hot in Taiyuan City, are still willing to look at him, they also sighed in their hearts, "Thanks to the love of Tang Gong and the general, I am really flattered here." I will definitely go to visit at that time, this is the dog Yang Li, who was originally a brave warrior general under the Zhichong Mansion, and I hope that the general will take more care of him in the future. ”

Li Shimin glanced at Yang Li, he was older than himself, and he looked like he was twenty-five or sixteen, he was not bad, he could be a brave warrior at this age, and it was estimated that he was born in the royal family. nodded, "If General Yang Xiao is willing, he can come to my Zuo Tunwei, and now Zuo Tunwei is also in great need of a talent like General Yang Xiao." I am willing to ask the little general to take up the position of my Zuotun Weiying Yang Lang general, but I don't know what Lord Yang and General Yang think? ”

Yang Wu's heart moved, although Ying Yanglang would be a little higher than his son's current position, but he didn't care very much. What really moved him was that Li Shimin raised this, probably because he really wanted to make friends with their family and deepen the relationship. For the kindness thrown by the Li family, who is now the most powerful in the court, Yang Wu certainly won't miss it, and hurriedly pulled Yang Li there to thank him.

"I heard that there is a girl in Lord Yang's family who has just grown up, and she is extremely gentle and graceful, but I don't know if the Xu family is it?" Li Yuan stood aside and suddenly said loudly.

Yang Wu knew the meaning of the song when he heard the strings, and glanced at Li Shimin again, and his heart suddenly burst. Could it be that Li Yuan plans to marry himself and wants Li Shimin to marry his daughter? Considering the age, the daughter and Li Shimin are almost compatible, and although Li Shimin has a broken arm and a scar on his face, the Li family is still very powerful.

Li Yuan was the left minister in the court, and he was also a feudal official, a big man in Hedong, and the head of Li Valve. And Li Shimin is also young and promising, and now he is less than 20 years old, but he is already a county prince, a county guard, and one of the twelve guard generals, with heavy troops in his hands. I heard that the emperor also wanted to marry Princess Izumo to him, but unfortunately he ended up marrying the person from Liaodong.

Yang Wu is nothing in the royal family, he doesn't even have the title of county king, he only relies on this official position in his hand. Now that the Xiaoguo Army and the black-clothed Iron Guard have long lost their former glory, if the Li family is willing to marry at this time, then it will really be a great blessing for their Yang family.

"The little girl hasn't allowed anyone yet, what does Tang Gong mean by this, is he trying to help the little girl find a good family?" Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Yang Wu asked tentatively.

Li Yuan stroked the long beard on his chest and said with a smile, "Lord Yang also knows that the people of my family are dedicated to serving the imperial court, and they have forgotten about the things around them in the past few years. Now it's a small achievement, so I also plan to find him a good family and take care of his family affairs. I heard that Lord Yang's family loves her daughter Xianliang and Shude, so I asked this question, but I don't know Lord Yang's royal family background, and I look up to my Li family. ”

When Yang Wu heard that it was indeed for Li Shimin to marry, he was very excited. can hug Li Yuan's big tree, what else does he hesitate. At the moment, he said, "Although the little girl is in the boudoir, she often listens to the demeanor of the general, and she has long admired it. Now that Tang Gong wants to end this century-old relationship, how can he disagree, it's too late to be happy. ”

"That's good, tomorrow the old man will find a big media to come to the door, and the old man hopes to do this as soon as possible." Li Yuan saw that Yang Wu agreed, and hurriedly settled the matter. Yang Wu was born in the imperial family, and he also held thousands of guards of the Xiaoguo Army who were independent of the left and right Yiwei, and this force, which was still outside the Eastern and Western parties, had already been seen by the Li family's father and son
