I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

When the soldiers on the city wall heard the words of the messenger, they all looked at Li Shen. Li Shen was also startled and somewhat worried.

Logically speaking, Li Shimin would not give himself any imperial edict, unless there was something important. Could it be that any of his relatives were sick? Or was there an accident?

Li Shen was very worried and hurriedly ran down the stairs down the city wall, came to the city gate, and shouted to the two people in front of him.

"The king is here."

Li Shen's worry is actually quite normal. As the saying goes, his parents are not traveling far away. In his previous life, Li Shen gave up his prosperous career and returned to his hometown because his parents were old.

Only when you reach middle age will you understand that if you don't start a family, you don't know how much money you have, and if you don't raise children, you don't know how much your parents are kind to you.

Xue Rengui stepped forward to check their waistbands and then brought them over.

"See His Royal Highness Prince Ji,"

"Well, where is my Aye's holy edict?" Li Shen asked.

The messenger took out the imperial edict and slowly unfolded it and read:

"Since the beginning of the war, the Eastern Expedition army has repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats. It is now winter in Goguryeo. In order to commend the marshal for his achievements, King Li Shen and the Crown Prince have written a memorial letter. After settling the army, they can return to Chang'an and return to Goguryeo before the war begins next year."

After hearing this, Li Shen knew that this imperial edict was written by Li Shimin personally and had never passed through the three provinces.

But it’s the best to be able to go back. Yuanzheng will be here in two months, so the whole family can be reunited.

It’s just that he still has to wait for Li Chengqian to leave together.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ji is waiting here. We will go and inform His Highness the Crown Prince immediately," he said, getting on his horse and driving away quickly.

"Hahaha, I can finally go back. I'm really worried that there is no one to teach me, and a sticky bean bag falls from the sky. Go back and pack your bags quickly. I think I will be there in two or three days."

Li Shen looked up to the sky and laughed, turned around and walked into the city.

He also has a lot of things to explain. He has solved the people's food and clothing problems here, but what if they leave.

These literati Li Shen cannot be trusted, as many of them are from aristocratic families.

After Li Shen returned, he began to write an official letter himself in his study. He planned to write a deterrent official letter, an official letter that could ensure that the people of Goguryeo could survive this winter.

The content is simple and crude, following Li Shen's usual style. The beginning is relatively reserved, saying that he and the prince will return to Chang'an to report on their work.

I leave this to you. You are all the pillars of the imperial court. This is also a training for them and an opportunity for promotion.

Then he talked about how it was not easy for the people of Goguryeo. They had experienced war, hunger, cold, etc. As a country of etiquette, we should treat them well.

After writing these polite words, Li Shen began to turn to the topic. First, the food grown by the people in the rear was not allowed to be touched and could not be expropriated under any excuse. He also explained that [-]% of it was his own, and anyone who touched it would be touching the food of Prince Ji's palace. .

Secondly, in the areas occupied by the rear, food is distributed on a monthly basis, and no deductions are allowed, no money is collected or profit is allowed under any pretext, and no oppression of the people is allowed. Prince Ji's Mansion will leave spies in every city, and if found, they will be dealt with according to military law.

Because Li Shen was the military governor, he was managed in the form of an army during wartime. Therefore, Li Shen has great power.

Li Shen also explained the matter of distributing charcoal. The number of kilograms fixed per day for each family was clearly written down.

Li Shen spent an entire afternoon writing, and his hands were sore from writing that he finished it all.

Then immediately send someone to each city and ask them to send them to the mayor.

Three days later, Li Chengqian came to Gaimou City with Liu Shui. After seeing Li Shen, Li Chengqian said hello happily.

"Tenth brother, I miss you so much after not seeing you for a long time."

Li Shen curled his lips after hearing this and thought to himself, I don't miss you.

But his face was full of smiles;

"Oh my, my little brother is also very happy to see his eldest brother."

"Tenth brother may not know it yet, but we have just captured Heshenggu City. There are [-] defenders of the Treasure King there. Without the hot air balloon of tenth brother, we may have suffered a lot in taking Heshenggu City." Li Chengqian said to Li Shen excitedly.

After capturing Heshenggu City, it is not far from the domestic city. If it were not for the snow, the army might have to cross the river.

"Congratulations, little brother. It seems that we will be able to complete our target tasks soon after next spring." What Li Shen is thinking about now is how to avoid coming next year.

Afterwards, Li Shen also asked someone to follow Li Chengqian back to Chang'an City with his luggage.

"Your Majesty, Heshenggu City has been lost."

"What did you say?"

In the Palace of the Treasure King in the Inner City, a defeated city guard general fled back to the Inner City. He entered the palace to plead guilty.

The Treasure King was shocked when he heard this. Heshenggu City was too close to the inner city. He sent [-] troops to guard it. He didn't expect that it would fall in just a short time.

"In the final analysis, what happened and why it was lost so quickly? Even if there were [-] dolphins, it would take Datang several days to catch them.

You failed so quickly, or did you dedicate my king's city to the Tang Dynasty? "

The Treasure King was furious.

The general immediately knelt on the ground and hurriedly explained;

"Your Majesty, how can I dedicate the city to the Tang Dynasty if I am so loyal to the King? It's just that the Tang Dynasty has a magical object that can fly into the sky. After dropping kerosene bombs, the water will never be extinguished. We were caught off guard, and a large number of soldiers were killed. Burned to death. In the end, I had no choice but to come back and report to the king."

"Flying divine object? Fire is never extinguished? General Park, are you telling me a story? Or do you think I am a fool who is easy to deceive, so someone will take him out and kill him."

Hearing the words of General Park, Treasure King was almost angry to death. How could he find such a stupid general to take on such an important responsibility.

You can't even come up with a decent excuse, and you still have a flying divine object. If the Tang Dynasty could fly, it would have been invincible. There is also an unquenchable fire. How could the Tang Dynasty still have any magic? It's really ridiculous.

"No, Your Majesty, I never meant this. Everything I say is true. Your Majesty, the thousands of soldiers who have returned can testify for me." General Park shouted while struggling as he was led down.

"Your Majesty, I think it is better to ask the soldiers who came back together. If the Tang Dynasty really has such a thing, then we must take a long-term approach.

If the Tang Dynasty really had magical objects that could fly into the sky, then it would not be so important for us to send troops to defend the river embankment. "At this time, a noble brother stood up and said.

The Treasure King nodded after thinking for a while.

"Okay, I will give you a chance. Someone will come and ask if this is true. Report back quickly."

After hearing the treasure king's order, General Park breathed a sigh of relief and survived.

In fact, he also knew that if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, if others had told him about it, he would have thought it was an excuse, and it was a stupid excuse.

(Some people said in the first two chapters that the double act of the protagonist was a bit awkward, but I disagree. We can’t see things from God’s perspective.

Do you know how many of your friends exchange drinks with you and scold you behind your back? The bystanders were confused by the authorities and dismissed the meeting. )
