Concubine Wan stayed in the Qin King's Mansion for half an hour before returning to the palace.

After Concubine Wan left, Wang Yu asked, "Does his sister-in-law want to adopt Erlang to the King of Chu?"

The Erlang in her words refers to Li Shimin's second son, Li Kuan. Li Kuan's mother was dying during childbirth, and she passed away after giving birth. After that, Li Kuan has been kept under the knees of Changsun.

Li Shimin's third son, Li Ke, his mother is Yang Guang's daughter, Yang Shi.

Li Ke is very popular with Li Shimin, and Li Shimin will definitely not adopt Li Ke.

Then, the only suitable candidate is Li Kuan.

Changsun nodded: "Well, if the king agrees, he should choose Erlang too."

So, Changsun sent a letter to Li Shimin, and in addition to reporting good news, he told him about this matter.

After thinking deeply, Li Shimin agreed and pointed out in the letter that Li Kuan would be adopted by the King of Chu, and wrote a letter to Li Yuan.

After Li Yuan received the letter, he was very happy that Li Shimin could take the initiative to think of adopting the incense for his dead brother.

It happened that Concubine Wan and Changsun came to Tai Chi Hall together and told him about this matter, and he immediately agreed.

On the second day, Li Yuan issued an order to adopt the second son of the King of Qin Li Kuan to King of Chu Li Zhiyun as his heir, and also appointed Li Kuan as the general manager of Liangzhou and Situ, and handed over to Concubine Wan to raise him.

Seeing that Li Yuan was in a good mood, Pei Ji smiled and said, "The King of Chu has a success, which is really gratifying."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Li Yuan's face became deeper.

"The last time I told Your Majesty that the handgun should be redundant, right?" Pei Ji took the opportunity to ask.

In the case of Liu Wenjing's rebellion, he found new evidence to prove Liu Wenjing's innocence, which is also a contribution.

Afterwards, he asked Li Yuan for a pistol. Li Yuan said that the pistols were equipped with soldiers, and there was nothing extra, so he asked him to wait for a while.

After so long, there should be an extra pistol reward for him now...

However, after hearing this, the smile on Li Yuan's face gradually disappeared. He turned around and walked towards the imperial throne: "Chang'an is the capital, it's safer, and there is no need for a pistol to defend himself.

"Now wars are happening, the national treasury is tight, and firearms are hard to come by, and they are used at critical moments."

The implication is that the hand gun is too wasteful for Pei Ji.

Pei Ji turned pale and gave the King of Qin a hand gun, he could understand because the King of Qin wanted to fight in all directions.

But he was very dissatisfied with the hand gun to Wang Yu. The hand gun was not easy to get, and it was a waste to give it to him. Isn’t it a waste to give it to a little girl?

Although there was resentment in his heart, Pei Ji did not dare to show it. He lowered his head: "It was me who did it wrong, please forgive me."

......

After Li Jiancheng knew that Li Kuan had adopted him, his face looked a little bad.

Zhao Hongzhi said to Li Jiancheng: "The King of Qin's move is intended to win over Concubine Wan, and to please His Majesty. The King of Qin has made great achievements in combat and his reputation is becoming increasingly powerful. There is still a helping hand in the harem. His Royal Highness should be alert.

"Now the King of Qi follows the King of Qin to conquer Zheng State. If the King of Qin wins over the King of Qi during this period, your position will be in danger."

Upon hearing this, Li Jiancheng's face became even more ugly.

He had long seen Li Shimin's ambitions.

Wang Gui said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, don't worry too much. You are the eldest son, you have a son and a lot of military achievements. As long as you have no major mistakes, Your Majesty will never change the crown prince.

"Along with the harem, there are Concubine Yin De and Concubine Zhang. They are young and beautiful, with children under their knees. Although they are not as tall as Concubine Wan, they are more favored than Concubine Wan.

"With them by Your Majesty's side, we act much more conveniently than the King of Qin. Your Highness really doesn't have to worry."

Ke Dazhi made a comment: "Although the King of Qi is young, he is his brother and his Majesty also attaches great importance to it. Your Majesty might as well bring the King of Qi over and not give the King of Qin a chance."

Although the King of Qi lost Bingzhou, His Majesty did not punish him severely. Instead, he asked him to follow the King of Qin to fight against Wang Shichong, which clearly made it possible for the King of Qi to make military achievements and restore his image among court officials and the people.

That is, brothers, with the status of the prince, the King of Qi should be more inclined to the prince.

Li Jiancheng thought something.

At this moment, Wei Ting came to report: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, summons you to discuss matters immediately."

......

Li Jiancheng came to Tai Chi Hall, and Li Yuan handed him the memorial in his hand: "Look at it."

He reached out to take it and looked at it.

It turned out that someone reported that Li Zhongwen, the general manager of Bingzhou, had a conspiracy with Chuluo Khan, and wanted to lead the Hu cavalry south to attack Chang'an when the Tang army fought with the Zheng army.

The memorial stated that last month, Chuluo Khan led his army to Bingzhou and stayed for five days. During this period, many beautiful women and property were plundered by Chuluo Khan, but Li Zhongwen did not stop it...

"What are your good ideas?" Li Yuan looked at the ministers.

Xiao Yu said: "For the sake of the present, people should be sent to investigate this matter. To prevent it, the capital's defense needs to be strengthened."

Chen Shuda and others agreed.

"What Secretary Xiao said is very true. It took some time to send a message back from Bingzhou. We must take action immediately." Li Jiancheng said.

So, after some discussion, Li Yuan issued an order: "Tang Jian, the Minister of Works, was appointed as the ambassador of Bingzhou Road, and went to Bingzhou to investigate the matter.

"Abolish the Bingzhou General Administration Office and order Li Zhongwen to enter the court immediately."

"The prince obeyed the order and went to Puzhou immediately to strengthen his defense..."

A series of orders were issued from the Tai Chi Hall, and everyone immediately took action.

Although Chang'an seemed calm and everything was normal on the surface, Wang Yu discovered that there were suddenly more troops outside the city.

......

When Wang Shichong heard that Li Shimin led his army to attack Zheng State, he was very calm and did not panic.

He said to the personal guard general Liu Shili: "After Liu Wuzhou was destroyed, I expected that the Tang army would definitely come to attack me, so I prepared early."

Wang Shichong looked like he was a god-like prediction and was very proud.

"Your Majesty is wise." Liu Shili praised.

Wang Shichong was even more proud of this: "Although the Tang Dynasty is currently the widest territory and the largest number of troops, our Zheng State is not weak, not to mention that this is fighting in our country, we have a better understanding of the terrain and more advantageous combat.

"That old boy Li Yuan thought that his son would win two battles and actually wanted to attack me?

"Luoyang is the capital of the Central Plains. With it, our Zheng State will definitely unify the world."

Although he said so, Wang Shichong did not take an offensive, but instead adopted a defensive force, ordering all parts of the territory to resist the Tang army with all their might.

Wang Shichong was full of confidence and thought he could defeat the Tang army, but he did not expect that at the beginning of the war, all parts of Zheng surrendered to the Tang army.

In August, the general manager of Dengzhou and the whole city surrendered to the Tang army.

In September, Tian Zan surrendered to the Tang Dynasty with more than 20 states in his subordinates, and Derui surrendered to the Tang Dynasty with his subordinates.

In October, General Zhang Zhenzhou surrendered to Li Shimin, Guo Qing surrendered to the Tang Dynasty with Guanzhou, Wei Lu surrendered to the Tang Dynasty with Xingyang City, and Wang asked Han to surrender to the Tang Dynasty with Bianzhou...

In less than three months, most of the prefectures and counties in Zheng State fell into the hands of Li Shimin.

While Wang Shichong was angry, he couldn't help but be frightened. The only comfort was that several powerful generals under Li Shimin surrendered him.

These generals originally served in Liu Wuzhou, but later surrendered to Li Shimin. The leader was looking for his appearance.

Wang Shichong made a big fuss about Xunxiang and others betraying the Tang army and surrendering to him, and declared his charm to the people of Luoyang in order to win back the lost hearts of the people.

Because of Xun Xiang's betrayal and run away, Yuchi Jingde was trapped in a dilemma of life and death...
