Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Of course, on the one hand, it is also a threat from Datang, so investment must be indispensable. Now Li Shimin is thinking about starting a war.

Fortunately, Li Shimin also knows that the time is not yet, and he must know that he has put Xue Rengui above this position despite all opinions, just hoping that Xue Rengui can quickly form an army.

After all, he had investigated the hundred people under Xue Rengui before, they were all ordinary people, and they had never been trained before.

So Li Shimin took a gamble, and besides that, it was because of his sub-father.

According to Xue Rengui's answer, all these were taught by the teacher, which is also one of the reasons why Li Shimin made up his mind.

To know if the things in the hands of this sub-father can be ordinary, they must be extraordinary. Everyone in the world says that Duke Anxuan is unparalleled in talent, even Li Shimin has to admit this.

Obviously this Asian father didn't have any experience in leading troops, but he had a bodyguard that even he envied.

He also taught a Xue Rengui, even if he is at Xue Rengui's age, maybe he can't compare.

Although Li Shimin will definitely not admit that he is inferior, in fact he still has a clear understanding.

"I hope this kid can bring me some surprises."

Li Shimin's eyes flickered and he whispered softly, he couldn't wait to declare war.

After all, there is no shortage of money and food in the Tang Dynasty now, so naturally Li Shimin will not forget the humiliation of the year.

As for this map of Liaodong, Li Shimin carefully collected it.

There is a lot of relief on the face, Xiu Ning has done a lot of things in Liaodong.

.........

Lizhou

Before Zhenguan, it was originally the place where Li Xiaochang was stationed, but everything changed after the eldest grandson Anye was exposed by Shu An.

And the person who was sent here by Li Shimin was none other than Samurai Xun, a former minister.

You must know that the samurai Xun is the henchman of the Supreme Emperor. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, although he didn't do anything to these people.

But basically these people are at home with free gifts. After Li Xiaochang's incident happened, the samurai Xun was sent to Lizhou by Li Shimin.

In fact, Li Shimin didn't want to reuse these old officials. After all, at that time, he was still worried that his father would make a comeback.

However, there were not many people who allowed the entire Tang Dynasty to be able to stand alone at that time.

There are not many children born in the aristocratic family, and even the born ones occupy some general official positions.

Otherwise, Li Shimin wouldn't be so angry with the clan annals. None of the members of these aristocratic families had passed the sixth rank.

It was for this reason that in the end Li Shimin could only send out this warrior Xun.

Since the rise of troops from Jinyang, the warrior Xun has always held an important position, and Li Shimin's superior ability is obvious to all.

But the only thing that worries Li Shimin is the loyalty of the warrior Xun.

After arriving in Lizhou, the samurai Xun immediately showed his ability and issued a series of instructions.

Recruit rebels, caress the old and the weak, relieve their lack, and open their heads.

In a short period of time, Lizhou settled down again, and it must be known that it is only half a year now.

However, even the stability of Lizhou still did not make this veteran minister of Conglong happy, but instead had a lot of gloom.

In Lizhou Dudu's Mansion, a middle-aged scribe in his fifties kept sighing.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if you are alright?"

A soft murmur sounded, and the warrior Xun missed Li Yuan a lot.

"Tread, step!"

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came, which made the samurai frowned.

However, when a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper came in, the samurai Xun had some doubts on his face.

Because he is a housekeeper, he is naturally clear, if there is no urgent matter, he will definitely not be in such a hurry.

Could it be that something happened in Lizhou again? The samurai Xun could only think of this.

Fortunately, the samurai Xun didn't have doubts for long, because the housekeeper had already told everything.

"Master, there is a secret decree!"

"What, secret decree!"

There was a trace of seriousness on the complexion of the samurai Xun and he whispered, although he still agrees with the Supreme Emperor more in his heart.

However, the samurai Xun is also not a fool, and he will not resist this new emperor.

After all, Confucianism's loyalty to the emperor and patriotism had a profound influence on the warrior Xun.

It was for this reason that he naturally did not dare to ignore this secret decree.

The samurai Xun's eyes flickered and he took the secret decree from the butler without hesitation.

With just one glance at the warrior Xun, he knew that the secret decree was true and not a fake one. Of course, he was also a little nervous.

Although the samurai Xun accepted the secret decree, he hesitated when he opened it.

After all, he knew that the new emperor was not very friendly to old people like them.

If this letter was to kill him, even the warrior Xun seemed to have no choice but to admit it.

If the new emperor wanted his own life, how could he refuse.

Fortunately, his thoughts were only racing for a while, and the warrior Xun also calmed down, because he knew that if the new emperor wanted to know his life, he would have taken it as early as Chang'an.

Naturally, it would not stay until now. After thinking of this, Samurai Xun finally opened the secret seal.

After reading the content, the samurai Xun first breathed a sigh of relief, and did not expect this to happen.

And it seems that it is still the handwriting of Empress Changsun. After thinking about the cause and effect, the warrior Xun became clear in his heart.

"Maybe it's not such a bad thing."

The warrior Xun looked at Chang'an and thought silently.

Chapter 296 Flattered, Decided

In a remote courtyard, a woman in plain clothes is teaching two little girls to be female.

She is Samurai Yu's wife Yang, but Samurai Yu had a wife before and left behind several sons, and there are also many differences in status among them.

The reason is very simple, that is, the Yang family has no children. If they have no children in this era, they are born weak, even if they are the original wife.

Therefore, Yang's life in the Wufu was not easy, especially after the frustration of the samurai Xun, the expenditure of the Wufu was reduced.

Among them, Mrs. Yang, who had a low status in the mansion, lived like a servant, living on a daily basis.

After all, the samurai Xun is over 50 years old, and his sons are all adults, so he has a lot of hostility towards this stepmother.

The only good thing is that you don't have to be like other servants, but because of the food, both Mrs. Yang and the two little girls look a little pale.

"Tap!"

However, a sound of footsteps broke the scene of mother-daughter warmth.

"Mrs. Yang, the two young ladies, the master is here to invite you!"

Then the figure of the butler came, and there was a hint of flattery on his face, and he said.

This can't help but make the mother and daughter a little flattered, you must know that this housekeeper usually treats them with no false words.

It would not have such an expression, but such doubts are doubts, the woman still did not hesitate, and led the two little girls to follow the butler to the lobby.

In fact, the housekeeper also did not expect that the mother and daughter would have a chance to stand up.

It is said that the eldest lady was taken by the empress, and she wanted to return to Chang'an. This naturally made the housekeeper know that the mother and daughter were going to get rich, after all, even the master was so polite.

Not a little while later, the mother and daughter had already arrived at the lobby. In fact, the samurai Xun didn't want to call his second daughter at first, but thinking that he hadn't seen each other for a long time, he called them together.

Samurai Xun actually didn't pay much attention to the mother and daughter. When he was young, Samurai Xun still had some ideas, but now he has more energy than he wants.

Coupled with being frustrated for nearly a year, Samurai Xun naturally ignored Yang Shi even more.

He also didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the mansion. Although he knew something about his son's actions, it was just a frown.

After all, in the cognition of the samurai Xun, the daughter who is finally married is like poured water, so naturally he didn't care about this matter.

However, this matter has changed today. The transmission of this secret decree made the warrior Xun see a lot of things.

"The concubine has seen the master!"

"Wu Shun met Daddy!"

"Wu Zhao met Daddy!"

Fortunately, the words of a few voices pulled the samurai Xun back. In fact, it is impossible to say that the samurai Xun is not interested in power.

Although Samurai Xun also suffered emotionally after Li Yuan became the Supreme Emperor, if Li Shimin can let go of his grievances and reuse them, it is not impossible for Samurai Xun to change the flag.

It's just that it is impossible for Li Shimin to reuse this old minister, and the warrior Xun also knows this, so he is depressed.

And if they can grasp this opportunity now, maybe their Wu family can continue to prosper.

Frustrated in his official career, and in just one year, Samurai Xun felt that he had aged a lot, but this was also a normal thing.

The gap is really not small, just like a sudden major blow, so it is normal to feel that my body is aging.

It is precisely because of this that the samurai Xun has to think about his family. You must know that the Wu family was originally from a common family. If he hadn't made a decision at the beginning and had the merit of being a dragon, he would not have been able to join the ranks of the gentry.

But following his frustration, and looking at his incompetent sons, even the samurai Xun was deeply worried.

If he was there, the Wu family would be able to take care of him, but if he was not there, what would the Wu family do.

"Ma'am, sit down!"

The samurai Xun showed a gentle voice on his face, in fact, this matter was more of an announcement.

After all, the general warrior Xun would naturally not have any objection to what he decided. Let alone one daughter, even two daughters, the warrior Xun would send them to Chang'an without hesitation.

Yang on the other side was even more astonished than before, and seemed to feel that his master was a little different today.

When Mrs. Yang carefully sat on the chair at the side, in just half a year, the chair had been spread throughout the world.

In addition, the workmanship is simple, and it is basically clear at first glance. It is popular even in the homes of ordinary people. After all, you can sit on a few chairs.

After Mrs. Yang sat down, the warrior Xun slowly talked about the matter, with a hint of joy on his face.

The two little girls, one big and one small, were also listening to their father's words, but when they heard that Wushun was going to be sent to Chang'an, Yang frowned.

However, Yang's eyes lit up when he heard about An Xuangong, after all, Yang was born into a wealthy family.

It's just that with the decline of the Sui Dynasty, so did his own family, but he was still able to read and write, so he naturally knew about An Xuangong.

One must know that Duke Anxuan's reputation as a sage is spread all over the world, so if he can be Duke Anxuan's maid, it would be equally good.

Compared to what Yang knew about the situation, the expressions of the two little girls were different, as if they were about to cry.

Especially Wu Shun, even though she was nearly ten years old and knew everything she should know, she still didn't want to leave her mother's side.

"Master, Ming Ze is still a little young after all, will he offend the nobleman?"

Yang Shi didn't have much objection to this matter, but said with a trace of worry on his face.

The samurai Xun was stunned for a moment, but he nodded. After all, this matter is indeed a problem. Duke An Xuan is not too young.

As for the reason why the samurai Xun did not hesitate about this matter, there is another point that An Xuangong and the Supreme Emperor have a good relationship.

He also heard a lot about the things in Chang'an. It is said that An Xuangong relieved many emperors, so the warrior Xun also did not dare to be careless about this matter.

"How about going to Chang'an with Madam?"

After thinking about it, the warrior Xun said slowly, the Wufu mansion in Chang'an is still there, but he asked his wife to teach him the rules along the way.

"Father, Wu Zhao also wants to go to Chang'an with mother!"

At this moment, a little girl finally mustered up the courage to speak out.

This person is none other than Wu Zetian in the future, but now she is just a little girl.

Facing his youngest daughter's words, if the samurai Xun had an ordinary expression, he would definitely be unhappy.

But at this time, he continued to think, maybe it would be good for Wu Zhao to go to Chang'an together, after all, there are too few people to meet in Lizhou.
