There was no prison cell in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so Li Jing was placed under house arrest in a courtyard.
"Fifth Young Master." Li Zhiyun had met Li Jing twice before in Mayi, so Li Jing knew Li Zhiyun.
"Pharmacist, if I'm a little late, we'll be in trouble."
Li Jing was not angry with Li Zhiyun, who was familiar with him. He just sat in the pavilion and smiled.
"Why did you save me, Fifth Young Master?"
"How do you know I'm here to save you? Maybe I'm here to give you a ride." Li Zhiyun sat down opposite him.
Li Jing said: "If the King of Tang wanted to kill me, he would not wait until today. It's just that I have offended the King of Tang's personal interests, and he doesn't want to let me feel comfortable."
"You are sincere."
Li Jing was right. According to Lao Li's temperament, whistleblowers like this would always kill as many as they could.
Li Jing didn't die because Lao Li didn't want to kill him.
The two of them chatted about Turks for a while and then got back to the topic.
"Pharmacist, you also understand why I'm here. I just want to say one thing, everyone in the world knows how powerful Han is at capturing tigers, but they don't know about Pharmacist Li's soldiers. It's a pity."
Hearing this, Li Jing clenched his fists instantly.
He is not afraid of death, which can be seen from his daring to report Li Yuan. His only regret is that he cannot have the opportunity to show his talents.
You have wasted half your life, you have nowhere to put your talents and knowledge to use, and you will die with no regrets.
From the perspective of a courtier, Li Jing had a high emotional intelligence and was a good person, so even though he remained neutral, he still died well. Li Laoer even asked him to be buried with him.
It can be seen from this that Li Jing actually has no pursuit.
Money, power, beauty.
He doesn't like it either, he is just a pure ideal pursuer.
However, the ideals that Li Jing pursued were Xiao Xian, Tujue and Tuyuhun.
Li Zhiyun stood up and walked over, patted him on the shoulder, "When will you figure it out, you will be able to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion."
For a smart man like Li Jing, it would be unsightly if he talks too much.
As for asking him to join the "Li Zhiyun Personal Studio", don't dream about it now. We can only wait and see if there is an opportunity to exchange feelings in the future.
Looking at Li Zhiyun's leaving figure, Li Jing sighed slightly.
The governance of Chang'an became smoother and smoother. The government opened warehouses to release grain for the people to buy. The grain stores were always full, and the people gradually felt at ease and no longer scrambled for grain.
At the same time, the prime minister, Tang Wang Li Yuan, borrowed money from the people on the pretext of hoarding military supplies, promising to pay back three in ten days.
Most of the people didn't believe it at first, so they only paid a few pennies to the government. However, they didn't expect that ten days later, they actually received three times the repayment from the government.
For a time, the people of Chang'an praised the king of Tang for being an honest and honest elder with unparalleled loyalty.
Mr. Li beamed with joy, waved his hand, and rewarded Li Zhiyun with a lot of property. In fact, there were not many treasures in Chang'an's warehouse. Most of them were taken to Dongdu by Yang Guang, and then sent to Jiangdu.
Seeing that Lao Li had won the hearts of the people in Chang'an, shareholders Dou and Dugu also made appropriate concessions and did not continue to force Lao Li to ascend the throne immediately. The promised funds and grain were gradually sent to Lao Li.
Accordingly, Lao Li once again recruited 50,000 troops to strengthen his army.
Soon after, the good news came back that Li Shimin successfully opened the door for Xue Ju, killed more than 10,000 Xue Ju's men, and seized a large area of land west of Jingzhao.
Li Yuan was overjoyed, and immediately rewarded the officers and soldiers of the three armies, and appointed Li Shimin as the domestic historian of the Tang Dynasty to assist in state affairs.
Good things come in pairs. At this time, the Duke of Qi, General Zhenbei, and Li Yuanji also escorted the Tang family to Chang'an. All of a sudden, Lao Li's family was all smiles.
Chang'an, Qixia Gate.
"Fourth brother!"
"Fourth brother!"
The three Li brothers came forward. Li Yuanji dismounted and clasped his fists, "Eldest brother, second brother, fifth brother."
Li Yuanji's appearance is difficult to describe. He has a beard that wraps around his chin and raised brow bones, which seems to be a return to his ancestors. However, his figure is quite strong and his strength is very high.
When the four brothers met, they naturally exchanged pleasantries and expressed their feelings.
"Fifth brother, I heard that you captured Qu Tutong alive in Hedong and fought brilliantly!"
"If Fourth Brother takes action, I'm afraid Qu Tugong will not be able to resist." Li Zhiyun said humorously.
"Hahaha."
At this time, the family carriage arrived, and Li Zhiyun and Li Shimin went to greet their families one after another.
By coincidence, the second sister-in-law and Li Zhiyun's biological mother, Wan, were chatting in the same carriage.
The second sister-in-law, the eldest Sun, was very beautiful and plump, and was loved by Li Shimin. Speaking of which, if the eldest Sun was not beautiful, she would be like piglets, giving birth to little rabbits one after another.
It’s just Li Laoer’s greedy temperament, hum.
Li Shimin and his beloved wife had not seen each other for many days, and the fire was raging. It was only because of someone else's presence that the two of them could eat together.
Li Zhiyun said hello to his second sister-in-law to deepen the impression.
The two parties parted ways, and Li Zhiyun took Wanshi to the Prime Minister's Mansion on horseback.
"Zhiyun, I heard that you did a good job this time. You are very happy." Wan looked at her son lovingly.
Li Zhiyun said humbly: "It's all thanks to Ye Ye's guidance."
Wan said earnestly: "You will come to the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future. You must be careful when doing things."
"My child understands, mom can rest assured."
Mrs. Wan continued: "In the future, I'm afraid I will have to enter the palace to serve you. It will be inconvenient for Xuan Dao to follow you into the palace. Can you let him stay in your house?"
Xuandao is Wan Xuandao, Wan's younger brother.
Wan was the daughter of Wan Wugang, the governor of Yangzhou in the Sui Dynasty, and Wan Xuandao was her old son. After Wan Wugang died of illness, Wan Xuandao had been fostered in the Tang Guogong Mansion in Taiyuan.
"Okay, when uncle grows up, he can first find a job to prepare himself."
"Okay." Wan Shi smiled happily.
That night, the whole family was reunited in the Tang Prince's Mansion.
Lao Li is very happy. He has been a bastard for decades. In the past, he had to look at Mr. Dou's face to have sex with a concubine. Now that he is the master, Lao Li must of course revitalize his reputation.
In addition, several of Li Zhiyun's sisters, and later Princess Changsha, Princess Xiangyang, Princess Pingyang, Princess Gaomi, Princess Changguang and other daughters served beside him.
On their side, the four brothers and several would-be princes-in-law were also chatting happily.
Master Feng and Princess Changsha, Princess Chai Shao and Princess Pingyang were the sons-in-law of the Li family a long time ago, so they got along very easily with the four Li brothers.
Duke Dou Dan of Anfeng County and Princess Xiangyang had just gotten married a few days ago, so they were still a bit unfamiliar and reserved in front of the Li brothers.
By the way, Dou Dan was Dou Kang’s third son.
Also getting married early was Changsun Xiaozheng and Princess Gaomi. However, there seemed to be some opinions about the relationship between Changsun Xiaozheng and Changsun Wuji, which made him look very stiff in front of Li Shimin.
The last one was the husband-in-law of Princess Changguang, the handsome man Zhao Cijing. Old Li liked this son-in-law very much. After conquering Chang'an, he made him the Duke of Kaihua County, the Prime Minister of Literature, and the Minister of War.
In other words, Qu Tutong's Minister of War was just a decoration, and the real person in charge was Zhao Cijing.
Speaking of which, if Li Zhiyun hadn't killed Yao Junsu, Zhao Cijing, a handsome man, would have died soon.
Among the four Li brothers, Li Yuanji loved wine and hunting. He drank either from a bowl or from a large bowl, and his style was very similar to that of a barbarian. In addition, his other favorite hobby was hunting. If he did not hunt for three days, it would cost Li Yuanji his life.
"Fifth brother, drink!"
If you are happy, just drink. If you don’t drink, you won’t be given face.
Of course Li Zhiyun would not refuse, he just raised the big bowl and did it.
The wine in the early Tang Dynasty was mainly rice wine, and most of the brewed wine was yellow in color. Therefore, when the war was serious, the court would generally order a ban on using grain to make wine.
"Brother-in-law, drink!" Li Yuanji held a bowl and greeted Zhao Cijing.
Zhao Cijing is a handsome man, a teetotaler, a perfect husband, and a perfect lover. He is very embarrassed by the demands of his wife and brother.
"Yuanji, I'm not good at drinking."
"I am happy today, so I have to drink even if I don't want to."
Li Yuanji personally poured a large bowl into Zhao Cijing's hand, touched the bowl, and drank happily.
Seeing Zhao Cijing's embarrassment, Li Shimin smiled and persuaded: "Fourth brother, forget it, Cijing drinks less, don't embarrass him."
Li Yuanji suddenly felt unhappy and kept interrupting while drinking. He snorted coldly and said nothing.
Seeing this, Li Zhiyun grabbed the wine bottle and walked to Li Yuanji.
"Fourth brother, let's have a drink."
"Okay, it's better for fifth brother to be happy."
While pouring the wine, Li Zhiyun smiled at Zhao Cijing.
How could Zhao Cijing not understand what he meant and immediately responded with kindness.
That night, everyone got very drunk.
That night, Miss Yin failed again and could only rest while serving Li Zhiyun who smelled of alcohol.
