Li Shimin came out of the palace and saw Li Xiuning greeting him. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiu Ning, why are you in Chang'an?" Li Xiuning said self-deprecatingly: "Who told me to disobey the imperial edict and advance without authorization! The father issued an order and blamed him.

I simply resigned!" Li Shimin said no, and his expression didn't look very good. Li Xiuning smiled and said, "It's rare to get together with his second brother. How about the younger sister will be the host to invite his second brother to drink today?"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Okay! The dishes made by Xiuning are the best in the world. My second brother has a good taste today!" Li Xiuning smiled slightly and said, "Let's go." The two of them got on their own mounts and headed side by side.

Li Xiuning's princess's mansion left, and their entourage followed closely behind.

Back at the Princess's Mansion, Li Xiuning asked Li Shimin to take a break in the back hall, but she rushed to the kitchen to work hard. Not long after, Li Xiuning came in with a few delicious dishes that had just come out of the pot, and placed them on the round table.

Li Shimin couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and pick up a slice of frankincense and eat it. He looked intoxicated and thoughtful, and praised: "It's delicious! Xiuning's cooking skills are better than the previous one! I

It seems that even the imperial chef in the palace may not have such cooking skills!" As he said that, he picked up a piece of grilled fish fillet and ate it. He nodded frequently and admired him. Li Xiuning smiled slightly and asked the maid to bring a small jar of fine wine.

He opened the mud seal and picked up the wine jar to pour a small bowl for Li Shimin. Li Shimin was having a good time and was about to drink. Seeing the wine, he immediately took the wine bowl and raised his head to dry it, with a big expression on his face.

Li Xiuning filled Li Shimin with wine again, then poured a small bowl for himself and sat down.

Li Shimin looked at Li Xiuning with a smile and said, "Xiuning, if anyone marrys you, it would be a blessing for the previous life! My second brother couldn't help but feel a little jealous!" Li Xiuning blushed on her delicate face and said angrily: "

Second brother!”

Li Shimin smiled, then sighed, his tone of regret. Li Xiuning was confused and couldn't help asking, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Li Shimin picked up the wine bowl and drank a small sip of wine, shook his head and said:

"Nothing." Li Xiuning thought that Li Shimin was depressed by being deprived of the power of command of the army, and couldn't help but comfort him: "Second brother, don't blame his father. Although his father's actions are a bit unreasonable, his father has always loved his second brother.

He did this to protect his second brother. "Li Shimin nodded with a smile, "I know. I have never blamed my father. My father will always be the person I respect the most." Li Xiuning smiled and smiled.

Seeing that Li Shimin's wine bowl had already drunk half of the wine, he picked up the wine jar and filled it with Li Shimin.

Li Shimin joked: "Xiu Ning, don't treat your second brother so well! Otherwise, if you get married in the future, how can you get used to it?" Li Xiuning blushed and said angrily: "Why do you always tease me today

Little sister?"

Li Shimin smiled and saw that Li Xiuning had not moved the chopsticks yet, he couldn't help but say, "Xiu Ning, don't just take care of the second brother, you can eat it yourself!" Then he picked up the wine bowl and said to Li Xiuning, "Come on, second

Brother toast you a bowl of wine, I wish you all your wishes come true!" Li Xiuning couldn't help but feel moved, picked up the wine bowl, and said happily: "Thank you, second brother! I'll do it first!" After that, he raised his head and raised his head.

He drank a bowl of wine. Li Shimin laughed loudly and raised his head to dry the bowl of wine.

The brother and sister started chatting with each other, and before they knew it, they both became a little drunk.

Li Shimin said: "There is nothing to do. I plan to leave Chang'an and go for a walk in Yudujin Mountain recently." Although Li Shimin was deprived of military power, Li Yuan did not put him under house arrest as some people hoped, so Li Shimin is now

You can still act freely, but you can't just hear about major military and political affairs.

When Li Xiuning heard this, she couldn't help but feel her heart moved and asked, "Does the second brother want to see the situation in the Turkic side?"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "There are no Turks now. I want to see what the northern grassland looks like under the rule of the Liao King!" Li Xiuning couldn't help but feel moved and said, "Or why should I accompany my second brother to the side.

Turn.” Li Shimin glanced at Li Xiuning, smiled and nodded, "Okay!"

...

Zhang Lang sat in Hang Ai City and looked at the various reports recently sent, mainly about administrative reforms in the Turkic region. Although administrative reforms encountered considerable resistance, they were firmly promoting them, some people and

The clan leader tried to gather people to rebel, but was put down by the Liao army with lightning speed. It is worth mentioning that the main reason why the Liao army was able to react so quickly to quell the rebellion was because of the ordinary people under the heads of the clan leader.

The result of the herdsmen's informant was that the Liao army launched a sudden attack on them when the leader of the leader was still in the liaison stage. In recent times, the series of attacks have caused the resistance forces among the Turks to be affected.

Due to the severe damage, many people who originally wanted to join the rebellion did not dare to act rashly, but the previous fence factions turned to Zhang Lang's side to express their firm support for the various policies of the Liao Dynasty.

After reading these reports, Zhang Lang laughed mockingly, and felt that many of the governing ideas influenced by Confucianism were simply stupid enough. What do you mean by yourself and others? They are all bullshit. In fact, the most effective and easiest way to govern foreign races is to use both kindness and power, and follow me.

Those who are prospered and those who are against me will perish! That's all. Zhang Lang put down the report in his hand. He knew that the resistance among the Turks would continue, but he had already made the worst plan. At most, he could kill half of the Turks here!

This is the so-called great national fusion! Eliminating all those who dare to resist, eliminating their customs and traditions, the integration will naturally be completed.

After calming down, I picked up another report to read. This was sent from Liaodong County not long ago. It was written by Chen Tong, which talked about the recruitment of new recruits. Chen Tong said in the report that the recruitment of new recruits has progressed

Very smooth. Han people from all over Liaodong County actively signed up for the army, and it is expected that they will complete the task in more than a month. Why is Zhang Lang going to recruit soldiers again? It turned out that Zhang Lang had comprehensively considered the current situation and finally decided to guard the Han.

The size of the army increased to 240,000, which means doubled the current size of the 120,000 Han army.

Zhang Lang looked at the report and considered whether he wanted to divide his Han army into several legions? Then he denied this idea, but he felt that the 240,000 army could be divided into eight armies in the future, called Zuo Xiaowei Di
