In the huge Gao'an City, cheers resounded, a great victory, this time it was a real victory! Thousands of cavalry defeated tens of thousands of troops with one blow, killed countless enemies, and attacked the city and captured the stronghold, directly conquering the enemy.
The enemy's top leader was killed! This is not a great victory, what else can be called a great victory?
The hard-won victory made everyone crazy with joy! The soldiers who returned from the victory were taken care of meticulously, and they could eat as much as they wanted! This was their privilege after returning from the victory, and after eating and drinking enough, they could eat freely.
Auxiliary soldiers sent them to their residence to rest. They didn't even have to walk the road by themselves. The two strong men stood alone and were sent to the camp without even touching the ground!
Xiao Yu, who had traveled all night to arrive, expressed great appreciation for Li Shimin's victory on behalf of Li Yuan!
He even specially named Li Shimin as General Tiance, allowed him to open a palace, set up officials independently, and even gave him three money-making furnaces! Don't underestimate these three money-making furnaces.
A unique and generous act!
What does the coin furnace represent? It means that you can legally cast and issue coins! Short of money? Let’s make it ourselves! What do you want to buy? No money? Don’t worry, wait until I get home to make some money, it’s hot...
This reward is so outrageous! Xiao Han has never heard that other than the country, other people have the right to mint coins! Although the three coin-minting furnaces are a bit small, if Xiao Han is allowed to get it, the country's coins will be minted.
Qian Lu can take a rest...
Nonsense, this is a real money printing machine! It's officially authorized! It's strange that Xiao Han, the financial fanatic, can let it idle! He must do everything possible to make it spit out money!
(Note: Tiance Mansion should have been established in 621, after Li Shimin defeated Wang Shichong and captured Luoyang. For the sake of the plot, it was moved forward a few years.)
In the center of Gao'an City, the former county government office was extremely lively at this time. After sending Mr. Xiao Yu back to Beijing for business, Li Shimin was so anxious that he didn't even bother to eat, so he immediately summoned his faction here to spread the good news.
go out!
Suddenly, the people sent by the King of Qin cheered like crazy and opened a palace. What is the concept of this?
This is equivalent to a state within a state! Establish officials and issue coins. What is this if it is not a country?
In the huge main hall, even wise men like Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui cheered for joy. Some people who were still a little swayed in their stance breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling that this treasure was not wrong!
Some families are happy and others are sad. Li Shimin's place is full of joy and laughter. Li Jiancheng's wife is under a cloud. All the eunuchs and maids who come and go are on tiptoe, for fear of angering the prince. Unexpectedly, several of them have been beaten to death in the morning.
A little eunuch?
Xizi was the chief eunuch of the Tai*. Because of his pleasant appearance and clever person, he was appointed by Li Jiancheng as the leader of the personal eunuchs at a young age.
At this time, he was carefully waiting outside the prince's palace. From time to time, a suppressed scream of a woman could be heard from inside the house, occasionally accompanied by a few angry snorts from the prince. Soon, the sounds in the house gradually subsided, and Xizi, who was waiting outside, immediately took the
Two young eunuchs entered the house.
In the gorgeous big house, Li Jiancheng was disheveled, holding a teacup and drinking water slowly. His movements were gentle and beautiful. If it weren't for his messy clothes, anyone would praise him for his elegant demeanor.
Whispering instructions to the two young eunuchs beside him, Xizi carried the scarred woman away from the bed. Xizi quickly came to Li Jiancheng's side, picked up the teapot and filled it with water.
Li Jiancheng glanced at Xizi lightly and said, "Is that old man Xiao Yu back?"
Xizi didn't dare to raise his head, and only dared to reply in a low voice: "To tell you my master, I'm back. I just handed over the order, and your Majesty also asked him in detail about the situation of the second prince."
Li Jiancheng drank water slowly, but his face gradually became ferocious. After listening to Xizi's words, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He stood up suddenly and slammed the cup in his hand to the ground, accompanied by broken porcelain.
Water splashes suddenly exploded on the ground!
"Partiality! Partiality! Why? I am the prince! Why should I give him all the benefits! I am the prince, and I am the future emperor!" Li Jiancheng was so angry that he was already hysterical. His originally gentle face
Blue veins popped out, and the fair skin suddenly turned red.
"Master, calm down!"
When Xizi saw Li Jiancheng's anger, he was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground. The stubble of the broken tea cup was under his knees. However, Xizi did not dare to move. He let the sharp porcelain slices cut his knees, causing blood to flow out.
Perhaps after venting his anger, Li Jiancheng sat down again, glanced at the blood on the ground, and waved his hand: "Get up, go invite Pei Ji... Forget it, I'll go alone."
"Yes, Your Highness..."
Only then did Xizi get up from the ground tremblingly. Not caring about the blood still oozing from his knees, he limped to the door and told the small yellow gate at the door to prepare his horse quickly. But when he turned his head, his eyes were filled with tears.
There seemed to be an expression called hatred that flashed away.
Just as the prince hurried to discuss countermeasures with Pei Ji, Li Shimin was also sending away his staff and returning to the bedroom. An imperial doctor was already waiting there. Of course, this time it was not the Dr. Hu from the last time, but a new one.
A short, thin old man.
When the short and thin old man saw Li Shimin coming in, he quickly saluted: "Weak minister, Xu Zhong has met His Highness the Second Highness!"
"Doctor Xu, there is no need to be polite."
This old man was much more humble than Dr. Hu, who was almost angered to death by Xiao Han. He did not dare to straighten up when he heard this, and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Your Highness, please take off your clothes."
Li Shimin was originally wearing heavy armor, but after taking off his armor at the city gate, he only had a shirt on his body. It turned out that the snow-white shirt was now covered with blood stains. Fortunately, most of them belonged to the enemy, and he only had some minor wounds on his body.
However, although he did not understand what infection was, his years of combat experience made him understand that the wound should not be exposed to water before being treated by a doctor, so he has not cleaned the wound yet.
Li Shimin was not taboo about exposing his body in front of the doctor. He endured the pain and took off his clothes, leaving only a pair of briefs given by Xiao Han. Uh, this is not a habit of Xiao Han and Li Shimin having their sleeves cut off, it's because of their relationship with Xiao Han.
Well everyone has been given away...
Dr. Xu had a kind face, didn't talk much, and was not as domineering as Dr. Hu. He carefully asked Li Shimin how he felt, pressed a few times on Li Shimin's well-proportioned body, and carefully treated several wounds.
Just pack up the medicine box and leave first.
After Imperial Physician Xu left, Li Shimin sat by the bed, slowly closed his eyes, and moved his arms. The chase for a day and a half of the night really made him mentally exhausted.
After stretching and falling back, Li Shimin was about to take a nap to replenish his energy, but suddenly he thought of Xiao Han.
It seems like he didn't come just now. If you think about it carefully, I saw him once at the city gate today and never saw him again. Where did this kid go?
After trying hard to get up from the bed, Li Shimin opened his mouth and called the servants waiting outside the room. When he learned that Xiao Han had gone to the wounded barracks early, Li Shimin thought for a while and decided to go and take a look first.
I got out of bed, frowned and put on my pants. I wanted to put on my clothes again, but unfortunately there were wounds everywhere on my body, and my right arm was even wrapped with a thick layer of cloth. As soon as the clothes came close to my body, I felt a burning pain all over my body.
He threw away his clothes and walked out shirtless. At this time, in the city, except for the big soldier and the male protagonist who came back first, there was no woman at all, so what are you afraid of!
Exiting from the back door, Li Shimin and his two soldiers walked along the alley, twisting and turning towards the injured barracks they had inquired about...
Although the wounded barracks was a bit remote, it was not difficult to find. Soon, a group of three people arrived at the corner of the city where the wounded barracks was located. As soon as they arrived, they saw two soldiers leaving in a hurry carrying a stretcher on the road ahead.
, a warrior-looking man was lying on it, sleeping unconsciously.
Seeing the stretcher coming, Li Shimin quickly got out of the way and stood on the roadside, watching the stretcher go away from a distance. He felt emotional in his heart, but people will always die in wars, and the principle that kindness does not control soldiers has been instilled in him since he was a child.
In his mind, before the soldiers came to comfort him, Li Shimin sighed a few words, shook his head and walked forward.
The two soldiers followed Li Shimin closely. They saw that as they moved forward, more and more stretchers were coming and going. They walked forward in the direction in which the stretchers came, until they came to the gate of a courtyard.
The gate of the courtyard is very old, and the plaque on it is tattered and covered with cobwebs and dust. However, the ground in front of the courtyard is very clean, as if it had just been washed by water.
The two doors were open, and soldiers came and went from time to time. Without asking, you knew that this should be a place to treat the wounded.
The three of them, Li Shimin, were standing by the road. Although they were not out of place, they were still a bit conspicuous compared to the busy people around them. If Li Shimin hadn't been shirtless now, which was far different from his usual appearance, he would have been recognized by others.
Out.
Even so, some people looked up at him from time to time while busy, their eyes were a little strange, as if they had already seen some clues.
Li Shimin didn't want to stay when he saw this, and quickly strode into the door with his soldiers.
After stepping through the gate and entering the courtyard, Li Shimin and the other three immediately stopped and stood on the steps, unable to speak for a long time.
If the rest of the city is full of laughter, then this wounded soldiers camp in the corner can be said to be full of wounded soldiers.
