Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

The officials here have already received the imperial edict from Empress Changsun and have made sufficient preparations.

The reception of Li Qiu's family was not much different from that of Li Shimin.

As for the contents of the imperial decree sent by Empress Changsun, outsiders do not know.

But it can be seen that the officials on the border can pay such attention to it.

In this cold winter season, it is quite enjoyable and pleasant to come here to see the snow scene and soak in the hot spring.

After the initial restraint, Li Qiu and the others gradually relaxed.

So he forced Luo Kexin and Wu Jue to play in the hidden hot springs in the mountains.

There are snowflakes in the sky, looking at the surrounding snowy mountains and forests, the feeling of soaking in the hot spring is quite different.

For his ridiculous request, Luo Kexin naturally objected again and again.

Wu Jue was also shy and a little embarrassed.

But helplessly, the two of them still couldn't hold back Li Qiu.

As for Yunzhong, he was keeping watch around.

Responsible for security.

Soon, in the hot spring, Luo Kexin and Wu Jue were helped by Li Qiu.

It has become candid.

And Luo Kexin, who had played in the river with Li Qiu before, was also slightly relaxed at the moment.

Dedicate yourself to provoking and serving.

When Li Qiu rose like a flame, she glanced at Wu Jue with a smile on her face.

It is not very convenient to say that I am pregnant now.

I will leave it to you, my sister, to vent the fire for my husband.

Afterwards, Li Qiu felt the plumpness of Luo Kexin's figure.

At the same time, they fought with Wu Sui in the water to learn martial arts.

Now, as long as she can conceive herself, Wu Jue has already lost her original shyness.

At all costs, to win the favor of the husband, to accept the rain and dew of the husband.

When they were messing around, Yun Zhong, who was guarding not far away, could see and hear clearly.

What's rare is that his complexion is reddish, and his whole body seems to be a little hot, not as cold as before.

……

Li Qiu's trip to Mount Li this time, plus the vacation he originally invited, planned to spend six or seven days.

On the night of the fourth day, there was a sudden emergency military situation from Chang'an.

After the death of the Western Turkic Khan, Tong'e, his younger brother, established Shaboluo Helishi Khan.

Li Jing, the old commander who used soldiers like a god, naturally refused to miss this golden opportunity.

Without waiting for the order from the imperial court, the army immediately launched a fierce attack on the Western Turks.

Things like this come with great risks.

It worked out, maybe better.

It can also make up for the crime.

But once the army is defeated, Li Jing, as the commander-in-chief, will definitely bear the blame.

At the same time, this kind of disobedience to military orders is also very easy to be reported by the censors and civil officials of the court.

It is by no means trivial.

So Li Qiu returned to Chang'an with 200 people that night.

This matter must be brought back before the civil servants know about it and play the book.

And Yunzhong is escorting Luo Kexin and Wu Sui and his party, and they will return slowly tomorrow.

Fortunately, after three days, news of great and small successes in Li Jing's army came one after another.

This Western Turkic, although the area is not small.

However, the overall strength is still much inferior to that of the previous East Turks of Jieli Khan.

The most important point is that Jieli Khan is a famous hero in history.

Although the Southern Expedition to the Tang Dynasty failed, but on the grassland, it swept away other tribes.

Formed a strong and stable regime.

On the other hand, in the Western Turks, the various tribes, large and small, were independent of each other.

Among them, the Tiele Department is the largest.

Although their leader was also established as a khan, many tribes were also in an alliance.

But in the end, it is their own affairs.

Now the most prestigious Du Khan has passed away. Although his younger brother succeeds to the throne, it is far from being able to make other tribes surrender.

The entire Western Turks immediately became a mess.

Li Jing took this opportunity to launch a fierce attack with a large army, and each tribe did not want their own tribe's troops to be too compromised.

So much so that it was annexed by other tribes later.

So no one wanted to fight, and they all avoided it.

Duan Zhixuan, Xue Wanjun, Li Shiji and others were also under Li Jing's command.

Leading the army to attack the city and pull out the stronghold respectively, they captured a large area of ​​land and fortresses west of Yinshan Mountain.

So far, the Western Turks have also been destroyed.

Those tribes also migrated to the European continent.

The entire grassland and land in East Asia are brought under the control of Datang.

Li Qiu had been worried about the smuggling of the Western Turkic tribes and breeding on the grasslands in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty.

Now it has become a tree without roots, so there is no need to worry too much.

This winter this year is destined to be unsettled.

Just when Li Qiu was busy with the government affairs of the Ministry of War, suddenly bad news came.

Yu Shinan, a bachelor of Hongwenguan and Duke of Yongxing County, died of illness.

Hearing this, Li Shimin shed tears and mourned endlessly.

Li Shimin loved calligraphy all his life.

And Yu Shinan was one of the four great masters in the early Tang Dynasty who were as famous as Ouyang Xun, Chu Suiliang and Xue Ji.

One of the best in calligraphy.

At the same time, although he looks cowardly and weak.

However, he has a strong temperament, speaks out and dares to advise, and is deeply respected by Li Shimin.

When Li Qiu brought Wen Yanbo and others to ask for instructions on Li Shimin's arrangement with Yu Shinan.

Li Shimin looked sad, and said slowly: "Yu Shinan is loyal to me, picks up what is left and makes up for it, and forgets it for a long time. He is indeed a famous minister of the times, and his morals are accurate."

"If I make a small mistake, I will commit Yan Zhijian, but now I am dead, and there is no one in the court!"

At the same time, Li Shimin issued an imperial edict to posthumously present Yu Shinan as Minister of the Ministry of Rites, posthumously titled Wenyi, and to be buried in Zhaoling.

Chapter 844 Princess Gaoyang, Fang Yiai

Before the New Year's Eve.

Princess Gaoyang finally promised to Fang Xuanling's second son, Fang Yiai.

This is also the most suitable family that Li Shimin and Empress Changsun can find for Princess Gaoyang in the court.

Fang Xuanling has been the Prime Minister of Tang Dynasty since the beginning of Zhenguan.

Identity, qualifications, and status are all unmatched.

Presumably Gao Yang will be held in the palm of his hand after marrying into the Fang family.

Of course, the Fang family and Fang Yiai are still far from being comparable to Changsun Wuji and Changsun Chong.

It can only be said that it is not bad, not satisfactory.

Regarding this marriage, although Princess Gao Yang felt a little dissatisfied in her heart.

But can't say anything.

After all, apart from this, there is really no other better choice.

The marriage of the two of them was also set in March, when the spring blossoms.

In the palace, Empress Changsun also talked with Li Shimin with a smile.

After Gao Yang gets married next year, it's time to prepare for the marriage of Qiu'er and Yun Zhong's two children.

For this matter, Li Shimin also quite agrees.

Let's talk about the current Tang Dynasty, the world is settled, and the war has stopped.

The food and clothing of the people is also close at hand.

Seeing is getting better and better.

After this matter is also settled, it is time to free up energy.

Consider letting Li Qiu recognize his ancestor and return to his clan.

However, Li Qiu is the eldest son of the emperor after all.

Now with his identity and status, especially his prestige in the army.

I am a little worried about the East Palace.

It is very difficult to check and balance the relationship between the two without causing turmoil in the court.

Therefore, we must prepare in advance to further relax many restrictions on the prince.

Let him and Donggong grow up quickly for a period of time.

……

On the other side, in the Peking Palace.

Wu Yuanqing returned to Chang'an City ahead of schedule.

Naturally, Li Qiu and Wu Jue received them very warmly.

At the banquet, Li Qiu also asked with a smile: "Brother returned earlier this time than in previous years."

Hearing this, Wu Yuanqing had a bitter look on his face.

"Oh, my lord."

"Where am I coming back early to prepare for the New Year's Eve?"

"When I came back this time, I was ordered by my father to find my sister and your lord to bring the soldiers here."

Upon hearing his words, Li Qiu, Wu Jue and others were taken aback at the same time.

Then, Wu Yuanqing explained.

Originally, their family planned to come back early this year for the New Year.

But in the current situation, there is no way to return.

Since the autumn harvest, especially in the last two months.

Every day, too many people and connections find Jingzhou, where my father is.

Ask about the spring plowing this year.
