"There are some warriors who are good at fighting in my house, but there are very few scribes in Anbang, a herdsman. My second brother gave me two governor positions, but I am afraid that no one in my house is qualified."
Li Yuanji sighed with a smile.
Before Li Shimin could say anything, Li Yuanji smiled and said, "If second brother is really serious about it, why don't you give me some more armor?"
Li Yuanji didn't want to make any more detours with Li Shimin, so he went straight to the point and asked Li Shimin about the armor.
Now, apart from the civil servants and warriors under his command, all Li Shimin could give Li Yuanji was iron armor.
Li Yuanji can get other things without Li Shimin giving them.
Li Shimin was obviously stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face did not diminish, and he said: "I heard that you already have a lot of iron armor under your command, do you want more iron armor?"
Aren’t you afraid that many people won’t be able to sleep?
This was what Li Shimin was thinking, but he didn't say it out loud. Li Yuanji understood the meaning.
Li Yuanji said with a bright smile: "I just like to be surrounded by a bunch of armor, so that I can feel more at ease when I sleep."
Li Shimin smiled and narrowed his eyes, and said meaningfully: "You sleep well, but others cannot sleep well..."
Li Yuanji smiled and said nothing.
Li Xiuning heard what Li Yuanji was talking to Li Shimin. She was afraid that Li Yuanji would talk to Li Shimin again and hurt the relationship, so she pretended not to understand anything and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Li Yuanji and Li Shimin spoke almost in unison.
"I didn't say anything..."
Li Xiuning looked around Li Yuanji and Li Shimin suspiciously, "Really?"
Li Yuanji and Li Shimin nodded in unison again.
Although some words were not stated clearly, the attitudes of Li Yuanji and Li Shimin represented their thoughts.
Li Yuanji did not want Li Xiuning to get too involved in the struggle for imperial power, and Li Shimin obviously did the same.
"Since Yuanji only wants some iron armor, then you can give it to him."
Li Xiuning pretended to believe what Li Yuanji and Li Shimin said, and told Li Shimin openly.
The smile on Li Shimin's face was a little stiff, and he was secretly complaining in his heart.
Sister, are you confused?
The number of armors under Yuanji's command has almost reached ten thousand. If you give him some more armors, all the officers and soldiers of the Tongjun Mansion under his command will be armored.
There are six fully-staffed Tongjun Mansion, and all of them are in iron armor.
It has a strong external deterrent effect.
The internal deterrent effect is also extremely strong.
In particular, these six unified military mansions will be stationed outside Chang'an City later.
How can many people in Chang'an City sleep?
"You wouldn't be unwilling, would you?"
Seeing that Li Shimin was silent, Li Xiuning had a look of doubt on her face.
The expression on Li Shimin's face did not change, and he smiled and said: "Since sister has spoken, how can I not give it to you?"
With that said, he said to Li Yuanji: "Yuanji, you can send someone to the arsenal in Luoyang City to get it later. However, all the iron armor in the arsenal in Luoyang City is now in ruins. If you want to use it, you will have to recast it."
Fan.”
Li Yuanji immediately cupped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, second brother."
With the iron armor provided by Li Shimin, all the soldiers in the six military command offices under his command will soon be equipped with iron armor.
As long as all the soldiers in the six Tongjun Mansion are equipped with iron armor, he doesn't have to live a cautious life.
Be it Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin, if anyone wants to touch him, he must be prepared to have his teeth broken.
Li Yuanji wanted to know what Li Shimin was thinking, that he would agree to such a request and watch helplessly as he placed more than 10,000 armored soldiers on the edge of Chang'an City, threatening everyone.
"Sister, let's enter the city."
After Li Shimin briefly exchanged greetings with Li Xiuning, he took the initiative to invite.
Li Xiuning smiled and nodded, and under the guidance of Li Shimin, rushed to Luoyang City.
Qu Tutong and others followed closely behind.
Li Yuanji, with his men and horses, and Li Xiuning's men followed far behind.
After crossing a low hill and seeing the outline of Luoyang City, Li Yuanji was a little happy and a little sad.
To my great joy, the fields outside Luoyang City are full of crops. They are green and beautiful.
Although the growth rate of crop seedlings is not high, and the bare yellow soil can still be seen faintly between the crop seedlings, crops are planted on almost all the acres outside Luoyang City.
Except for the dark city of Luoyang, the rest of the city was green.
As long as there are no natural or man-made disasters during this period of time, the people of Luoyang City will be able to have a great harvest when autumn comes.
By then, the people of Luoyang City will no longer have to worry about going hungry.
Li Yuanji had a share of credit for this, so Li Yuanji was very happy.
Sadly, a large group of people gathered outside Luoyang City, most of whom were old, weak, women and children.
They were not here to welcome Li Yuanji and his entourage in triumph, but to welcome the pillars of their family.
They handed over the mainstay of the family to Li Yuanji to take them out, but Li Yuanji didn't bring much back.
So Li Yuanji didn't know how to face them.
The soldiers and horses Li Yuanji had recruited from various places in Luoyang suffered the greatest losses in the battles of Mingshui City and Weizeguan.
After Li Shimin, Li Xiuning, Qu Tutong and others entered the city, Li Yuanji led a group of soldiers under his command and appeared in front of the old, weak, women and children.
The old and weak women and children stood on tiptoes one by one, stretched their necks, and looked for their sons, husbands, and fathers among the soldiers behind Li Yuanji.
Some people looked happy when they saw their sons, husbands, and fathers.
Some people didn't see it and continued to look around on tiptoes.
After Li Yuanji halted his troops, Pingcheng Ling, as a representative of the people, stepped forward to ask Li Yuanji whether the sons of Luoyang were brave enough to fight this time and whether they could win?
Li Yuanji led a group of soldiers to answer together.
The men who went out to Luoyang this time fought bravely and returned with a great victory.
Pingcheng Ling led the people, shouting that the sons and gentlemen had not weakened their reputation in Luoyang, and offered three bowls of wine to Li Yuanji.
The wine was good, but the taste Li Yuanji drank was not good.
Because someone has already learned about the death of their son, husband, and father through the Luoyang soldiers.
In front of him, no one dared to cry loudly, they could only weep silently.
Li Yuanji felt really uncomfortable looking at it.
"Ma Zhou, take the iron plaques of the soldiers who died in the battle and their relics and return them to their families. At the same time, tell their families the rules of our Prince Qi's palace.
By the way, I would like to tell officials everywhere in my name to be kind to the families of the soldiers who died in the battle.
Anyone who disobeys, or violates the rules, is considered an enemy of Prince Qi and I.
I don’t mind leading the people in Prince Qi’s palace to teach them how to be an official.”
Li Yuanji had no way to resurrect the soldiers who died in the battle, so he could only do his best to provide pensions.
When Ma Zhou heard Li Yuanji's instructions, he nodded solemnly.
Li Yuanji shouted to the soldiers behind him again, "Everyone who belongs to Luoyang, you are allowed to go home for three days, and then go to the barracks in Luoyang City three days later."
A group of Luoyang soldiers excitedly clasped their fists at Li Yuanji and said, "Here..."
Then, like wild horses running wild, they rushed into the middle of the old, weak, women and children.
If there is no future, he will take his wife and run away.
The disciples left their old parents behind, laughing on the spot with their children.
There was also a hopeless man who couldn't wait to show off to his wife, children and mother the achievements of the expedition and the rewards he had received.
There were also promising people who silently picked up their children and went home, chatting and laughing with their old parents and wives.
After the soldiers rushed into the old, weak, women and children, Ma Zhou also led a group of scribes from Prince Qi's palace to appear among the old, weak, women and children, and began to provide compensation for the aftermath.
"Yuanji has really grown up."
Li Xiuning and Li Shimin didn't know when they appeared on the city gate tower.
Looking at Li Yuanji, who was deeply saddened by the silent tears of the people at the top of the city, Li Xiuning couldn't help but sigh.
Li Shimin's expression was a little complicated, "I have grown up..."
The threat is also greater.
In their impression, Li Yuanji never cared about his subordinates, let alone the mood of his family members.
"It can be seen that his temperament has improved a lot and his heart has become a lot kinder. You are not allowed to bully him in the future."
Seeing Li Yuanji in pain, Li Xiuning felt uncomfortable. She glanced sideways at Li Shimin and whispered.
"I bully him? It's good if he doesn't cause trouble for me."
Li Shimin glanced at Li Xiuning and sighed quietly.
Li Xiuning looked at Li Shimin in confusion.
Li Shimin recruited him to Cao Dan, Li Yuanji gave him eye drops in front of Li Yuan, and he planned Li Yuanji's grain, and Li Yuanji set fire to the Luoyang granary. He briefly told Li Xiuning.
Li Xiuning was so amused that she laughed.
She knew about Li Yuanji's burning of the Luoyang granary.
But she did not know about Li Yuanji applying eye drops to Li Shimin in front of Li Yuan.
In comparison, Li Yuanji applying eye drops to Li Shimin in front of Li Yuan is obviously more interesting.
…
Li Yuanji stayed at the gate of Luoyang City for a full two hours. He waited until the old, weak, women and children were almost dispersed, and then led a group of people under his command to enter Luoyang City.
Li Shimin and Li Xiuning had been watching from the city gate tower until Li Yuanji entered the city before going down from the city gate tower.
Therefore, when Li Yuanji brought Su Dingfang, Luo Shixin and others into Luoyang Palace, Li Shimin, Li Xiuning and others were still sitting together chatting, and there was no banquet.
The seats arranged by Li Shimin in the main hall of Luoyang Palace are very interesting.
In the middle of the main hall, three couches and a long table are arranged side by side.
Li Shimin and Li Xiuning sat on the same couch respectively, and the remaining one naturally belonged to Li Yuanji.
After Li Yuanji told Su Dingfang and others to sit down, he walked to his own seat and sat down.
After accepting the visit from Qu Tutong and others.
Li Shimin waved his hand, "Have a banquet..."
One by one, maids appeared in the main hall, carrying plates of wine, dishes, melons and fruits, and placed them on the long tables in front of everyone.
Almost all large-scale banquets in ancient times used the meal-sharing system.
There are also many things to pay attention to when sharing meals.
