While Li Zhiyun and others were speculating on how Li Yuan would reward Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others under Li Shimin were also discussing this with each other.
"I think the position of one of the Three Lords is inevitable." Changsun Wuji held the reins and looked at the vast land.
"Lieutenant?" Yu Zhining guessed.
Dugu Zhen resigned as an elder and was granted the title of Situ, Dou Wei resigned as an elder and was granted the title of Sikong, and the remaining ones were Taiwei.
The official system of the Tang Dynasty copied that of the former Sui Dynasty, and it was naturally the same as that of the former Sui Dynasty, with only some slight modifications.
"But this is an empty job." Yu Zhining frowned.
Fang Xuanling said: "It would be better if this is really the case."
"What do you mean?" Changsun Wuji was dissatisfied. They killed three rebels at once and took over all the Jianghuai land in the Central Plains. How could they only be satisfied with an empty position?
He specially came from Chang'an to take King Qin back because he wanted to be famous and watch his brother-in-law reach the peak of his life.
Fang Xuanling looked at him and asked: "Then tell me how to reward His Highness so that he can be worthy of this meritorious service?"
After hearing the words, Changsun Wuji was suddenly speechless.
The King of Qin was already extremely noble, and the only person higher up in rank was the prince.
Yu Zhining reacted and said: "You mean, if His Highness gains power this time, he will be suppressed by the Crown Prince?"
"Hasn't he suppressed enough?" Changsun Wuji sneered.
Fang Xuanling sighed: "What I'm worried about now is that the reward is too large, which may cause the prince to jump over the wall in a hurry."
The sound fell, and the three were silent at the same time.
In the past, the prince had regarded the King of Qin as a thorn in his side. If the reward was really excessive this time, the prince might really resort to dangerous tactics in his desperation.
Changsun Wuji said: "What are you afraid of? The soldiers will block the water and cover up the earth. The prince has been unable to do anything in the past, and he will be unable to do anything in the future!"
Three days later, the Eastern Expedition army returned to Chang'an. Lao Li led hundreds of officials to personally welcome the return of King Qin at Mingde Gate, which gave King Qin enough face.
Ministry of War Yamen.
Li Shimin led Li Zhiyun, Li Yuanji, Qu Tutong and others into the government office and sat down on their knees.
On the main position, Zhao Cijing, the servant of the Ministry of War, kneeling and waiting.
"After returning from the Eastern Expedition, I returned the military talisman." Li Shimin said loudly.
Zhao Cijing nodded and waved, and a group of servants came in carrying wooden trays. Li Zhiyun and others returned the military talismans to the Ministry of War.
Nominally, the Ministry of War is responsible for the management of military power. In fact, each army is still in the hands of each individual.
This belongs to the field.
There is no way, now is wartime, Lao Li often divides various war zones, such as Shannan Road, Longxi Road, Hedong Road, etc., the power of the Ministry of War has long been diluted. Now the Ministry of War is in charge of more logistical supplies, rather than
Distribution of military power.
Besides, could Zhao Cijing, a minister of the Ministry of War, be more trusted by Lao Li than the King of Qin?
Having said that, Qu Tutong still had some knots in his heart. He was the Minister of the Ministry of War, but he did not have as much power as the Minister of the Ministry of War, which was rare. But after thinking about it, he still had the title of Duke of the country, so he was not a fool.
Too bad.
After returning the military talisman, everyone exchanged greetings and then went back to their homes.
In two days, Lao Li will reward the soldiers of the three armies at the palace. They can go home to rest and recuperate.
Chu Palace.
When Li Zhiyun returned, all the wives and concubines were naturally overjoyed. Nothing would make them happier than Li Zhiyun's safe return.
Huaiyang is about to come to the basin, holding a big belly, and the help of Sister Nanyang Princess came out to greet Li Zhiyun.
Due to the harassment of Yu Wenshi, Princess Nanyang agreed to Huaiyang. During this time, she lived in Chu Wangfu and continued to practice with her post -care, while taking care of her pregnant sister Huaiyang.
"Why are you so careless, just go to see you at night, why come out." Li Zhiyun carried blame in the care, carefully holding Huaiyang.
Now he has only one son or two daughters under his knees. Among them, Xiaoshun Niang is still a fake daughter. Naturally, he attaches great importance to every child who is about to be born.
There is no way, his brother has a good son. The prince, King Qin, Qin Wang, now have three or four sons.
Only him, just a son, still out, attracting him to remind him every time he met.
Wan Guifei does not remind him, it implies Princess Chu.
From the perspective of Wan Guifei's mother, the future of the son is important, but the prosperity of the son -in -law is more important.
The same reason, Du Ruwan, Xue Jun, Duan Zhixuan and others also think that the prince Chu is prosperous.
Because they are the confidants of King Chu, understand the aspirations of King Chu.
Listening to Yunlang's words, Huaiyang's little mouth could not help but be happy, but her emotional quotient was very high and very sensible. At this time, she did not show love with Li Zhiyun at this time.
"The husband does not have to be nervous. The princess has been taking care of the concubine very well. It’ s okay. These days when the husband ’s fighting abroad is the princess to take care of his body."
Wen Yan, Li Zhiyun looked at the dignified and beautiful young woman aside.
"Lady, you have worked hard." He reached out to take Princess Chu in his arms again.
Princess Chu gave him a white glance and said, "The mother -in -law is also pregnant, you have to accompany her in the future."
Wei Yan is pregnant?
He looked up at Wei Yan.
"Okay, what's the case later, Alang, let's bathe and change clothes first." Princess Chu said.
"good."
Half an hour later.
Li Zhiyun was over, and Princess Chu personally changed him with a robe.
"When did Xun Niang have pregnant?" Li Zhiyun squeezed his wife's red face and asked.
While Princess Chu sorted out his belt, he resented: "About one month after you get out, the mother -in -law is pregnant. At that time, you were fighting abroad, and you were afraid that you would be distracted by foreign affairs, so he didn't tell you."
One month, isn't that around November?
Alas, I didn't expect me to do it.
Being happy is naturally happy, but how could he not hear the resentment tone in his wife's words. So, he bowed his body quietly and attached to her ear.
After a while, Princess Chu Jiao stunned his chest with a small boxing fist, and then took a sip of him.
"lecher."
Li Zhiyun smiled, her thick face was not red.
Holding his wife's slender waist with both hands, he looked at the purple and white two -color robe on his body, and asked: "This is what you did."
Princess Chu didn't speak, but just hummed a small mouth.
The couple grinded for a while, and walked to the main hall together.
Li Zhiyun first said to Wei Yan for a while, warm and warm her, and then told Huaiyang for two sentences.
At this time, Xiao Chengjing came out under the encouragement of his mother Yin's and saluted Li Zhiyun's hoe.
"Children wishes his father's victory back, and wish the father and king ......... Father ... wish ....." Talking, his little face rose red, apparently forgotten
Child.
Yin's rubbing his eyebrows silently and taught for several days. Why can't you learn it?
Little Chengjing is less than two years old and can barely speak. Naturally, she cannot speak those awkward words in classical Chinese.
Li Zhiyun handed Baoniang in his arms to Princess Chu, stepped forward, picked up little Chengjing and put her in his arms.
"Who taught you to say this?"
"Aniang." Xiao Chengjing said truthfully.
Mrs. Yin said with a smile: "I am idle, so I want to teach my child well to prevent him from becoming useless in the future."
Li Zhiyun touched his eldest son's head and said to her: "The child is still young and cannot speak well. How can he understand these things? As long as he grows up healthily, I don't expect anything else. As for you, don't give your child too much."
pressure.”
"Yes." Yin agreed.
Princess Chu smiled at this time and said: "Ms. Yin, you don't have to worry about your child becoming useless. How can the children of the royal family be compared with the common people? When the child grows up, I will personally find a famous teacher to teach him, and I will never wrong him.
"
"Thank you, Princess." Ms. Yin lowered her head silently.
Li Zhiyun looked at the chubby little face of his eldest son and pinched it gently. The little guy was raised so beautifully that he looked a bit like a girl at first glance.
