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

Li Chengqian was baffled by what Li Shen said, but when he saw Li Shen finish the drink in one gulp, he also drank the glass of wine.

"Brother, I hope you can help me take care of my little brother after he leaves. Also, brother, you should pay more attention to rest.

Brother, your complexion is getting worse and worse. If you have time, go to the medical school and let Dr. Sun take a look and adjust it.

You have to be steady in your work. If something happens, go to the northwest immediately. I will come back immediately. Brother, please don't act impulsively. "

Li Shen warned.

He was afraid that Li Chengqian would take the last step right before his eyes, and he would regret it if he failed.

"Okay, it's getting late. Brother Ten, please leave quickly. My eldest brother is not a child. Don't worry, I will take care of Prince Ji's Mansion."

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes when he heard Li Shen's words.

Li Shen didn't have much to say, so he came to the side and talked to Li Mengjiang for a while, then got into his luxurious carriage.

"Woo~~Woo~~Woo~~"

Three horns sounded, and Li Shen's large army began to move forward slowly. Following Li Shen were the last five thousand laborers.

Escorting food supplies and various tools.

In addition to King Li Shenji's team, two thousand royal guard cavalry, and three thousand Zuoxiao cavalry,

The large army marched toward the west in a mighty manner.

"Go, go, go, go

Yiyi leaves hometown Liu

Wearing stars, wearing lunar eclipse wind and drinking dew

Be willing to bear the boundless sea of ​​suffering

Life is valuable in having pursuits

Even if the road underfoot is long." Li Shen sat in the carriage, looking at the city of Chang'an getting further and further away through the window, and sang that song.

--------------

"I see Aye, I have come to revive you." In Liangyi Palace, Li Chengqian sent Li Shen off and returned to the palace.

"Old Ten is gone?" Li Shimin asked knowingly.

"Yes, Aye, the tenth brother just left west." Li Chengqian nodded.

"Well, it's okay to leave. Come and sit here. Alas~~ Chang'an can finally be clean and tidy. Lao Shi is in Chang'an. Maybe he doesn't even know it. The censor's impeachment has never stopped."

Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian to sit down, and then sighed.

Li Chengqian was stunned after hearing this and asked:

"Aye, my tenth brother doesn't participate in government affairs, and spends his days eating, drinking, having fun, or staying in Prince Ji's Mansion without coming out.

For what reason did the censor impeach the tenth brother? "

"Huh, reasons? There are so many reasons. He lives a luxurious life, is dissolute, competes with the people for profit, and his industry drives up prices.

There is also his chamber of commerce, which bullies and dominates the market and competes maliciously. The people in his house used their power to bully others and buy and sell by force.

There are various reasons. "Li Shimin snorted, not sure whether he was angry with Li Shen or the censor.

Li Chengqian thought for a while and said:

"Aye, I think a lot of this is not true. The tenth brother has been maintaining a good business environment.

How could he destroy it by himself? As for the people in his house and the Chamber of Commerce, wouldn’t they know it if they sent people to investigate? "

"I have already sent people to check it out. They are all minor problems and will not damage the overall situation. The stewards in their house are doing their duty, but this matter still needs to be resolved by Prince Ji's house itself.

It's not convenient for me to take action, it's just a small matter. "Li Shimin took a sip of tea and continued.

"Okay, let's not talk about the traitor. Duke Lu will lead the Goguryeo army to Chang'an in the next few days.

When the time comes, you go to greet him, and you will also greet him with the remains of former Sui soldiers brought back.

You arranged for them to be placed in the cemetery prepared in advance in the north of the city, and announced that they would stay in the Tang Dynasty forever.

After that, I will issue a decree to exempt Goguryeo from taxes for three years, and will also announce to the outside world that the west of the Yalu River has become our territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Lao Shi's newspaper will publish information about your campaign in Goguryeo.

Haha, if I guess correctly, this issue of the newspaper Lao Shi may have been printed in advance.

I'm just waiting for them to be distributed after Goguryeo stabilizes. "Li Shimin chuckled.

He has already arranged Li Chengqian's path. In this way, Li Chengqian's influence in the country will definitely increase greatly.

You must know that the Tang Dynasty has always been martial arts since its establishment, and no scholar who can't learn martial arts is embarrassed to go out.

Li Chengqian didn't say anything after hearing this, he just nodded.

"Thank you Aye."

My father paved the way for me, but I didn't want to, so I shouted that I wanted to be free. In Li Shen's words, am I crazy?

"Okay, you go back to the East Palace. The memorial has been sent, but don't be too tired.

I think your complexion is not very good. Let the imperial doctor take a look. "

Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian that the current prince was beginning to satisfy him.

So he was willing to take some time off and leave everything to Li Chengqian.

"It's Aye, I'll leave you there." Li Chengqian bowed and left.

A few days later, Lu Guogong returned to Chang'an with some troops and horses, and Prince Li Chengqian personally greeted him at the city gate.

In order to appear grand, Cheng Yaojin specially captured 3,000 Goguryeo captives and held a prisoner sacrifice ceremony.

This made Li Chengqian dumbfounded. These Goguryeo prisoners had actually surrendered, but Cheng Yaojin actually wanted to sacrifice the prisoners.

Bringing three thousand people back from a thousand miles away cost a lot of food and grass along the way.

There are also the remains of tens of thousands of former Sui soldiers.

On this day, there were three floors of people watching the excitement outside Chang'an City, and many of them came here to see the remains.

"I met with His Highness the Crown Prince and brought back 3,000 prisoners and 60,000 remains of former Sui soldiers. The west of the Yalu River in Goguryeo has been completely pacified."

Cheng Yaojin, a conspicuous person, took the lead and walked up to Li Chengqian, got off his horse and resumed his life.

Originally, Li Daozong should have done this job, but he didn't know that this conspicuous bag came out first.

All the seven or eight generals who went out this time came back, leaving only Cheng Minzhen to sit there.

"Luke Guogong has worked hard all the way, and all the soldiers have worked hard all the way." Li Chengqian said loudly.

"The Tang Dynasty is mighty, the Tang Dynasty is mighty."

"Gong Lu, please directly place the remains of the former Sui soldiers in the cemetery in the north of the city. Let the heroic souls of these soldiers forever guard our country in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Chengqian continued to shout loudly.

"The minister takes orders."

After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, he returned to his team, and then Li Chengqian also got on the carriage and headed to the cemetery in the north of the city.

The common people also followed the large army to go together. They wanted to see their relatives laid to rest and their souls returned to their hometown.

The ceremony was very solemn, and every skeleton had to be cleaned. Fortunately, there were more troops coming back this time, and the skeletons were quickly placed in the cemetery.

In fact, they are all put together because it is impossible to tell which one is which.

Afterwards, the earth was sealed, Li Chengqian gave another eulogy, and finally the eminent monk invited by Chang'an lived in peace for seven days.

There were cries from the crowd watching the excitement, and their relatives were finally able to return to their hometown.

No need to be a lonely ghost, you can rest in peace. "

(I checked the information and found that many people did die when the Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo, and the population dropped sharply by more than 60-70%.

The main reason for the polygamy and polyconcubine system in ancient times was due to the imbalance of the ratio of men to women due to year-round wars. The policy was developed in order to quickly increase the population.
