By the time Lu Zhaoci led the army to return to the court, it was almost New Year's Eve. The person Li Yuan sent to greet Lu Zhaoci's army was Li Shentong.

"Haha, the general is mighty. The last general has heard about it, and Wang Shichong only recovered after he fled to Luoyang City. He kept saying, 'Is my head still there?' The general, although he did not kill Wang Shichong, but

But it's even more uncomfortable than being killed!" Li Shentong burst out laughing when he saw Lu Zhaoci. The accompanying officials also looked at Lu Zhaoci with envy, looking at this person who had just resisted the decree. This time

When he returned to the court, he actually hired Li Shentong to greet him. Li Shentong's official position was not high in Daxing City, but his status was noble! He was a clan brother of His Royal Highness the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan sent this person to greet Lu Zhaoci, which shows that he

He attached great importance to Lu Zhaoci.

"It's just a small attack that bothers the general to come personally to meet him. I really don't dare to be the last general." Lu Zhaoci jumped off the horse. Although Lu Zhaoci was in a high position, he also knew that this was not the time to show off. There were also no one knows how many people there were in Daxing City.

Are you eager to let yourself make a mistake? What's more, Li Shentong here is the younger brother of Li Yuan. Once he marries a girl from the Li family, he will have to call him uncle. At this time, he dare not behave properly.

It’s airy.

"Uncle Clan." Li Zhiyun came out from behind Lu Zhaoci and called out affectionately.

"Yes, he has the demeanor of my Li family." Although Li Shentong looked down on bastards, Li Zhiyun was different. Not only was he the son of Li Yuan, but more importantly, there was a group of people united beside him. Lu Zhiyun was in front of him.

According to Ci, he was vaguely one of them. In the future, he would definitely play the role of King Wei during Emperor Wen's period, so it was better not to offend him. So he said hello cordially.

"The last general Qu Tutong met Zong Zhengqing." When he was in Tongguan, Fang Xuanling had already introduced many civil and military generals in Daxing City to Qu Tutong. Although Li Shentong was not very talented, Li Yuan appointed him after he entered Daxing.

He was Zong Zhengqing, something that should have been done by the Yang family, but now it was done by the Li family. It was obviously prepared to seize class and power.

"The name of the old general, I have been famous for a long time!" Li Shentong looked at the old general with silver-white hair and sighed deeply. Although the general is old, he has extraordinary abilities. As soon as his cousin takes action, he is

The position of Minister of the Ministry of War is even more prestigious than that of Lu Zhaoci.

"Old! Old!" Qu Tutong waved his hands repeatedly. He did not mean to be modest. Ever since Hedong City, he went to Tongguan not long ago and saw Lu Zhaoci using troops. He felt that there were so many soldiers in the world, but he could surpass Lu Zhaoci.

There were not many words to say. I just sighed that I was getting old.

"Let's go, the Prime Minister has already hosted a banquet in the Wude Hall to entertain all the generals." Li Shentong laughed loudly and said: "The Duke of Qin came back from the Third Assistant the day before yesterday and defeated Xue Ju, and with the arrival of General Lu, it happened to be a double happiness.

! It’s so gratifying and congratulatory!” All the ministers around him nodded. Isn’t it gratifying and congratulatory? There are already messages in Daxing City saying that the prime minister’s achievements are unparalleled and he should go to the palace with swords and shoes to praise him.

Already.

What does this mean? Since the unified dynasties of China, only a handful of people such as Xiao He, Wang Mang, Dong Zhuo, and Cao Cao have had this kind of treatment.

Think about it, when all the civil and military officials were unarmed and only relied on socks to reduce the damage to their feet caused by the floor tiles in the Golden Palace, it was quite cool to be able to carry a dazzling sword and wear a pair of noble boots.

However, everyone knows that this is not the purpose. The fundamental purpose of Li Yuan's frequent promotions and salary increases is to complete the procedures before accepting abdication.

China is a country of etiquette, and we are all well-educated and civilized people. We must pay attention to procedures in everything. To ascend the throne of the emperor, Li Yuan, the cousin of the current Emperor Yining, must take his time.

Anyway, the chair cannot be escaped. So Li Yuan has enough patience.

In the Wude Hall, all the generals gathered, full of nobles. Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were lined up on the left and right, and then there was Li Zhiyun who had just returned from the expedition. Lu Zhaoci, because he was the minister who made the most contribution, sat under Li Shimin with two tables.

Not far apart.

"Zhao Ci, after a while, I will call you my sister-in-law." Li Shimin held the wine cup and smiled at Lu Zhaoci.

"I've met brother." Lu Zhaoci looked at the smile on Li Shimin's face and felt unspeakably awkward in his heart. When he came here, he had heard that Li Shimin beheaded Xue Ju's head in Sanfu and kept chasing him.

He didn't turn back until he reached Longdi, but Li Yuan only praised him a lot, and didn't summon all the officials to have a banquet with the guests. He didn't believe that Li Shimin was happy at this moment. His face was full of smiles, and he shouted

He is his sister-in-law.

"Hey, I originally thought that my Guanyin would have a capable sister-in-law, but it seems that I no longer have this blessing." Li Shimin's face showed a trace of regret.

"Guanyin Bi?" Lu Zhaoci thought for a long time before he remembered that Zhang Sun Wuji's nickname seemed to be Guanyin Bi. Being her sister-in-law obviously refers to the fact that Zhang Sun Wuji came to propose marriage in person. At that moment, his face showed

With a hint of embarrassment, he said: "The general never knew about it. It turns out that the prime minister and the family ancestor had already made the decision on the general's marriage, which disappointed the second young master." Damn, don't get angry with me. If you have the ability, go find it.

Go away, I. Lu Zhaoci cursed in his heart.

Sure enough, Li Shimin's expression changed slightly, and when he was about to change the topic, suddenly a clear voice came from the opposite side, and then he saw a handsome young man walking over with a smile on his face, and said to Lu Zhaoci: "Lu Lang, congratulations on your victory.

Please pay me back!"

"Thank you, Mr. Lu." Lu Zhaoci quickly stood up, picked up the glass of wine in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

The person who came was none other than Li Jiancheng.

"Brother." Although Li Shimin was very annoyed that Li Jiancheng suddenly came to interrupt him and disturbed his efforts to win over Lu Zhaoci, he had no choice but to stand up and bow his hands to Li Jiancheng. Although the two brothers had known each other for a long time in private.

At first, you fought over me, but on the surface, you still maintained the appearance of being respectful and submissive.

"Erlang, although you are the number one general of my Li family, you are still a little behind compared to the world's famous generals like Zhao Ci. From now on, you must study military books carefully, so that you can make contributions to our Li family." Li Jiancheng's voice was calm, but in the

Li Shimin's ears felt as if he had been slapped hard. But he couldn't say anything. Although he had outstanding military exploits, compared with Lu Zhaoci, he was indeed a little behind, and he couldn't help but be dissatisfied.

"The second young master has a great ambition, and it cannot be compared with Zhao Ci." Lu Zhaoci's heart moved slightly, and he quickly raised his hands to the two of them. It is better to keep this kind of thing as little as possible.

Lord Dan Li Yuan saw clearly, frowned slightly, and glanced at Li Zhiyun who was looking around, and there was something strange in his eyes.
