The imperial capital of Chang'an, within the imperial city.

The fourth day of the first lunar month is the day of the royal family banquet. Early in the morning, the Penglai Hall of the harem of the Daming Palace was lively, and the princesses and concubines of the kings and concubines came together to pay a New Year greeting to Emperor Li Shimin. Changsun Wuji, the powerful uncle of the country, will naturally also be there. What is remarkable is that he actually arrived together with Wei Wang Litai.

Furthermore, the four concubines and nine concubines of the harem and the others should be present. The concubine Wei Gui, Concubine Yanxian, Concubine Yin De, and Concubine Yang Shu, who are rarely seen openly once a year, are scheduled to take their seats. However, the appearance of the four concubines together is not as eye-catching as a newcomer, that is, Xu Hui, one of the nine most beloved concubines of Li Shimin recently. It is said that this little woman is extremely intelligent, knowledgeable and talented, she never forgets to export her chapters, and has extremely high attainments in poetry and calligraphy. In character, he is gentle, graceful, graceful, graceful, graceful, and has political opinions and can advise the emperor. He has the demeanor of the grandson empress back then. At first, she was just a talented person. Because Li Shimin liked to meet her late, she was soon promoted to Jieyu, and then she was promoted to fullness. Now she is one of the nine concubines second only to the fourth concubine.

Regardless of the establishment of the post office, or the establishment of the reserve, it is not only the emperor’s family affair, but also a national issue. Since ancient times, China has had emperors, and it has always been that "the mother is more expensive to the child, and the mother is more expensive to the child." After the death of the eldest grandson, Li Shimin never established a queen again. The officials guessed that he did not want to influence the establishment of the reserve because of the immediate future.

Many people secretly figured out that the harem has not been in charge since the death of Empress Changsun. Concubine Wei, second only to the queen, was never authorized to take over from the eldest grandson to lead the harem. Although the Weidu family from the south of the city is one of the prominent families in Chang'an, the Wei family has not produced one or two outstanding top figures to hold the banner. The Du family once produced a Du Ruhui. ! In addition, the concubine Wei's depravity and love Chi, in recent years have not been favored by Li Shimin, and the sons she gave birth to are relatively mediocre, and none of them are in the eyes of Li Shimin, which is not within the consideration of Li Chu. Therefore, people speculate that there is almost no possibility of Wei Guifei being righted in the future. Needless to say, Concubine Yanxian has long fallen out of favor. There are rumors that Li Shimin still intends to demote her to a concubine, and make Xu Hui a virtuous concubine. Therefore, Concubine Yanxian, who is already lacking in her family, has been walking on thin ice, and there is no possibility of a future. .

The remaining two imperial concubines, Concubine Yin De and Concubine Yang Shu.

In the past few years, Concubine Yin De, who has always been low-key and forbearing, seems to have been on the cusp of the storm, but unfortunately it is all "negative news." The daughter got married and the son rebelled. It is a miracle that she can still live in the harem. There is no doubt that the only things that this deplorable celebrity has now may be the emperor's tolerance for her, the world's compassion and respect for him, and the ancient Buddha of the blue lantern.

Concubine Yang Shu, who is Wu Wang Li Ke's mother, remains. She is the biological daughter of Yang Guang, the former emperor of the last Sui Dynasty. Since being accepted as a concubine by Li Shimin, although she was only at the end of the four concubines because she entered the door late, she was one of the most respected women in the harem. Even when the eldest grandson empress was alive, she and her sisters went in and out of the same position, sitting on an equal footing. However, Concubine Yang Shu, the subjugated princess, obviously has no political ambitions. For so many years, she has never heard of her domineering or questioning the affairs of the country. Her low-key and silence are inferior to that of Concubine Yin De. Had it not been for her dazzling son who often haunted politics and courts, she would have almost been forgotten.

From this point of view, it is unlikely that the Fourth Concubine will be established. Therefore, people couldn't help but turn their attention to Xu Hui, who has been in the limelight recently. It was expected that if she could give birth to the emperor, she would really not rule out the possibility that she would come to the top and be made a queen. However, the emperor has several grown-up sons, and they are fighting for reserve and righteousness. Even if Xu Hui could give birth to a prince in the future, once the emperor died, would this pair of widows and orphans survive?

It is no wonder why Li Shimin has not re-established his post. To put it nicely is to miss the grandson queen, in fact, he can't decide. This queen can't stand up. Without a queen, the harem will be chaotic, and there is no doubt about it.

How can we sweep the world without sweeping a house? Li Shimin really has a headache.

Beacon smoke lingers around the Datang and the flames of war are raging, and the party lords above the court are fighting for cold guns and arrows. Even in the harem, there are surging clouds and undercurrents.

Datang, which has been calm for more than ten years, ushered in an eventful autumn.

Today's royal family banquet, the eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Wang Litai, who had never been in contact with each other, are now talking and laughing together. Many people saw it in their eyes, and felt their enlightenment in their hearts, thinking that these two people who were pitiful with the same disease must have made peace. Now the military's strength has greatly expanded, and even the thunder of Sun Wuji has been suppressed. When Li Chengqian was in the Eastern Palace, Li Shimin thought about changing Li Tai as heir. One important reason for his indecision was that Changsun Wuji disagreed.

It's okay now, this uncle and nephew have changed their faces faster than flipping a book, and they are in an alliance. However, Li Tai has fallen out of favor, and Changsun Wuji is not as powerful as before. Can their temporary alliance, which may break at any time, impress the emperor's heart?

After the fall of Li Chengqian, the seemingly clear pattern of the court is now in chaos. No one knows who will be the Prince of the East Palace and who will lead the court in the future.

Looking at the seemingly harmonious "family" at the banquet, Li Shimin smiled on his face, suffering in his heart. In his opinion, the smiles on these people's faces are clearly a scheming of yin and yang; the delicacies of wine and meat in their mouths are clearly power and interests.

But he can't blame these people, because why isn't he the same? People living in this field of interest are like sailing against the current, unable to help themselves. Not everyone can be like Concubine Yin De, as calm as water without desire and desire.

Thinking about this, Li Shimin raised his glass and said to Concubine Yin De: "I love my concubine, I respect you a cup."

"My concubine respects and thank you Majesty." Concubine Yin De stood up and toasted and drank, and after drinking, sat down, still calm.

Li Shimin sighed secretly, feeling bored.

In recent days, the frontier has sent military reports to the military, and it has been both happy and worried. On the northern prairie, Li Ji reported victory, telling in detail about Xue Rengui's remnants of a brigade of Kansai soldiers, and the battle that fought against the Yimen. Today, Li Ji is commanding the Great Tang Dynasty and the Tiele coalition forces of the nine surnames of the grassland to conquer Xue Yantuo successively.

Li Shimin is already preparing to deal with the aftermath of the grassland, and at the same time he has begun to pay attention to Xue Rengui, the once unknown general of the Guanxi Army. I heard that he was unconventional and made an immediate decision. He went all the way to the north and fought for thousands of miles through the desert, and finally saved the strength of the western army. After breaking Xue Yantuo, he also borrowed tens of thousands of soldiers from Huihe to help Kanxi. To regain the lost ground, the grasslands fear him like a god... All these are the work of famous generals and wizards.

This is good news. The bad news is that Li Daozong of Shanzhou played. Soon after the Great Victory of the Moon Valley, Yangguan fell to Xue Wanche and died in battle. Qin Mubai had personally led a team to rescue him.

Li Shimin knows that it doesn't matter if Yangguan is lost after the Great Victory of Magic Moon Valley. The main battlefield is still Dafeichuan. As long as the situation over there is not out of control, even if Yumen Pass and Yang Pass fall together, the Tubo people on that side cannot dominate the victory or defeat. What's more, Qin Mubai personally led the troops to rescue him, and he would surely be able to reverse the situation and protect him.

What depresses Li Shimin's heart is the death of Xue Wanche. He once said in person that now (after Li Jing retired) there are no more than three famous generals in this dynasty, Li Ji, Li Daozong and Xue Wanche. And Xue Wanche fought, ‘either a big victory or a big defeat’. Now, if he said this, he was lost and killed.

Xue Wanche, but Li Shimin's brother-in-law. Now, Princess Danyang, the wife of Xue Wanche and the daughter of the great ancestor Li Yuan, was just in the room, smiling and drinking with everyone. She did not know the news of Xue Wanche's death in battle.

"Finally, wait for a few days after the Spring Festival, Xue Wanche's coffin has been sent to Chang'an, let me tell her again!" Li Shimin secretly thought.

In this imperial ban, even if it is a family banquet, it is hierarchical and strict. The atmosphere cannot be warm, at best it is peaceful. The princes and princes came to congratulate Li Shimin on the New Year in turn, and privately they were busy pushing cups and exchanges to exchange feelings. It was not so much a family dinner, as it was a round of political capital exchange.

Li Shimin is a little unhappy with something in his mind. I drank a few glasses of wine, uninteresting. As he was about to change his clothes and leave the table to take a breath, his close servant walked to him lightly and whispered: "Your Majesty, Hongwenguan stayed behind, Chu Suiliang said that the frontline sent an emergency military newspaper, so I beg to see your Majesty."

Li Shimin had a sudden heart, thinking that if it were not for a major military situation, Chu Suiliang would not send the military report to the harem at this time. So he stood up quietly and walked out, secretly instructing the attendant to ask Chu Suiliang to see him at the Imperial Study Room of the Zichen Hall of the Daming Palace.

Shortly afterwards, Li Shimin arrived at the Zichen Hall, and Chu Suiliang was already waiting outside the Imperial Study Room. As soon as they met, Chu Suiliang whispered in surprise: "Your Majesty, there is a change in Xijiang, and you are in a hurry!"

Li Shimin felt stuck, "Xijiang? Not Guanxi, Mobei, or Jiannan?"

"Taozhou!!!"

"Enter the Imperial Study!"

The monarch and the minister walked in quickly, Chu Suiliang sent to the military newspaper, and Li Shimin hurriedly opened and sat down to take a look. As soon as I sat down, I suddenly stood up again.

Chu Suiliang looked at the emperor nervously, and the expressions of both the emperor and his officials changed.

"How...how is this possible?" Li Shimin's face was filled with anger, "How did the Garqin Tomb hit Taozhou?"

"Weird officials don't know! But, this is clearly the fact that lies ahead!" Chu Suiliang said anxiously, "Taozhou City was broken, and the two counties of Taoyang and Lintan were slaughtered by blood. The army and civilians totaled one. There were more than 3,000 people, none of them survived, and the city was burned! After the incident, the Jiannan Road marching commander, Yuchi Jingde, fired his army to rescue him, but rushed to the rescue. Garqin Mausoleum led his army to retreat and turned to attack. Hezhou. Yuchi Jingde led the army to pursue and ordered the nearby army soldiers to guard against the enemy strictly to prevent the Garqin Mausoleum from attacking Guanzhong!"

"Confused!" Li Shimin suddenly shouted, "Why is Yuchi Jingde so confused!"

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Chu Suiliang asked in surprise.

"He was led by the nose by the Garqin Mausoleum!" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said solemnly, "The Garqin Mausoleum deliberately set fire to the city, the purpose is to attract the nearby Jiannan army to rescue him. It’s turning the tiger away from the mountain!"

"General Yuchi, I dare not save it! What if the Garqin Mausoleum is still bloodbathed in the nearby city or even transferred to the Guanzhong?" Chu Suiliang said in surprise, "The Garqin Mausoleum has been retreating since the defeat. Qingrayuan’s surprise attack on Taozhou is already an amazing move. Does he still have the ability to move the tiger away from the mountain and then divide his forces into Sichuan and Sichuan?"

"That won't be true. It is not the ultimate goal of Garqin Tomb to cut through the gates." Li Shimin said with a deep face, "Otherwise, he wouldn't kill me like moths to the fire. .Unless he is crazy, otherwise, he can destroy my Datang if he is so little?"

Chu Suiliang suddenly realized, and said: "So...he has another purpose? Is he trying to disrupt our army's defense line in western Xinjiang?"

"He wants to escape!" Li Shimin said categorically, "However, Dafeichuan chased after the army, and the Jiannan army blocked in front, so he did not dare to retreat easily! So, he used offense instead of defense to divert our army's attention. Force and pull our forces to take time and space for our escape camp!"

After that, Li Shimin strode to the front of the screen behind the imperial study room, ordered people to fetch the military and political maps of Xijiang to hang up, pointed his hand to Taozhou, and said, "Look! He took down Taozhou. Yuchi Jingde, who had stationed troops in Songzhou, must come to his rescue, because this defense zone originally belonged to him. As you said, this place is now breached, in case the Garqin Mausoleum sends troops to the two capitals of Guanzhong, Yuchijing Dewan died. At the same time, Lanzhou will also be shaken by a fire in the backyard. Dafeichuan and Lanzhou will move across the board, and they will have to switch from offense to defense, and the center of gravity of the force will turn to the hinterland of Taozhou. Look-Taozhou One Breaking, our Datang Xijiang collapsed completely. Whether it was Guanxi or Jiannan, all previous strategic deployments were broken! Although the possibility of Garqinling fish’s death net breaking and killing Guanzhong is extremely small, it has to be guarded. Guanzhong two capitals, There will be rumblings too!"

Chu Suiliang's face became tight, and he didn't dare to breathe. When he just received the military report, he knew the situation was serious, but he didn't expect it to be so serious. Now listening to the emperor’s analysis, his heart is jumping suddenly-the capital has reached the capital! The lightning-like surprise attack of Garqin Mausoleum was like a sharp knife suddenly plunged into the heart of Datang, really powerful!

"This Garqin Mausoleum!..." Li Shimin gritted his teeth and spit out these words, his face becoming more and more solemn and serious. After a pause, he asked: "Dafeichuan guard seems to be Hou Junji, right?"

Chu Suiliang vaguely heard the unkindness from Li Shimin's words!

"His Majesty, it is Hou Junji."

"He guarded the Dafeichuan and restrained the remnants of the defeated army of the Garqin Tomb. Why did he let him slip under his nose?" Li Shimin didn't scream, but with a single glance, it was almost the same as Han Bing. Cold and sharp like a strong knife.

Chu Suiliang felt a chill in his heart-murderous! Your Majesty the emperor... moved to kill!

Li Shimin cut his back with one hand and pointed at the map of military and political geography, thinking. Chu Suiliang didn't dare to interject, he just whispered: "Your Majesty, do you inform the Prime Minister to hold an emergency military meeting?"

Li Shimin didn't seem to hear it. He still looked at the map with a stern face, moved his fingers slowly on it, and muttered something in his mouth: "Taking Taozhou, he can go to Hezhou to continue the slaughter, or cross Taoshui Go straight behind Lanzhou, or make a detour to attack Minzhou, quickly take the city and use it as a basis to fight against the army of Yuchi Jingde who came to rescue, and even pointed the sword at Qinzhou to kill Guanzhong and endanger the two capitals. Taozhou extends in all directions. Both land and water, such a military hub, why Qin Mubai and Yuchi Jingde didn’t pay much attention to it?"

Chu Suiliang did not dare to speak. In terms of military attainments, Li Jing is almost the only one who can keep pace with the emperor. He is analyzing the situation of the battle, and there are really few people who can catch up. But Chu Suiliang vaguely heard the words in the emperor's mouth, and seemed to be quite dissatisfied with Yuchi Jingde and Qin Mubai!

"Ba!"

Li Shimin slapped Chu Suiliang with a slap on the map. A hole in the parchment map was smashed!

"Garqin Mausoleum must be wiped out! Otherwise, the damage will be endless!" Li Shimin said solemnly, "Now, he is like a winter flea, slipping into the thick fur of people, how **** it is !"

"Your Majesty, have you notified the Prime Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers to hold an emergency imperial military meeting?" Without any useful military suggestions, Chu Suiliang had to repeat this statement again.

Li Shimin paused. This time he seemed to have heard it. He said: "We must strictly guard the news and not leak it, so as not to cause panic and confusion among the people. The Imperial Military Conference cannot be held for a while. The ministers are all celebrating the festival in the province. In this way, you can call me Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Daliang, and Li Junxian. These people are either in the imperial city or in Chang'an."

"Yes!"

"Hold on!" Chu Suiliang was about to leave, Li Shimin called out, hesitated for a while, and said, "There are also King Jin and King Wei, call them together."

Chu Suiliang was a little surprised and didn't dare to say anything, so he promised and hurriedly left.

Li Shimin took a long breath and let out a deep breath. He twisted his eyebrows and looked at the big map with a hole in it. He muttered to himself: "In this case, he can attack Taozhou and reverse the situation. Garqin Mausoleum is indeed a Military genius!... Qin Mubai and Yuchi Jingde, what can I say to you?"

"However, the Garqin Mausoleum's move is precisely to dig a grave for Tubo!!" Li Shimin's eyes were cold, "Do you want to put it to death and live after?-I want you, only the dead , No offspring!"
