The first year of Wude was the new Li Tang Dynasty, an extremely uneasy year. The new Li Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty was brewing a new fission. There were Turks outside, and Tubo was ready to move. Now the Turks are sharpening their knives, which made Li Yuan, who was over 50 years old, feel heartbroken.

Li Yuan had no good idea for the Turkic cavalry that came and went like the wind. Although Li Shimin captured Xue Renguo alive and destroyed Western Qin, the northwest of the Tang Dynasty temporarily stabilized. However, the Liangdu Division of Liang was unstoppable. On the fourth day of the seventh month, while the Tang Dynasty was fighting with Xue Ju of the Western Qin, Liangdu personally led more than 6,000 infantry and cavalry invaded Lingzhou, and was defeated by General Lin Xingcan of the Cavalry. In early September, Liangdu invaded Yanzhou again. Duan Decao, the general manager of Yanzhou, did not fight. When the morale of the Liangdu was slackened, he sent troops to attack. When the two armies fought fiercely, Duan Decao personally led the light cavalry to cover the attack from the side of the formation. Liangdu was defeated and fled. Duan Decao followed and chased 200 miles away, and captured many.

However, the Liang army was unstoppable and invaded Lingzhou in early November. This time, the Turks sent more than 5,000 stationed in Yezhuling. The Liang army was not worthy of worrying. Both Lin Xingcan and Yang Ze were all knowledgeable people. However, what worried Li Yuan the most was the more than 5,000 cavalry of the Turks.

Once the Turks took the battle personally, Lingzhou would definitely not be able to withstand it. However, today, it is cold and cold, so it is extremely difficult to increase troops in Lingzhou. If there were no reinforcements, Yanzhou would probably be the case and Lingzhou would no longer be owned by the Tang Dynasty.

For this reason, Li Yuan not only did not sleep well, but even Li Shimin's joy in defeating Xue Ju and destroying the Western Qin Dynasty was diluted a lot. Yesterday in his dream, Li Yuan even dreamed that the Turkic soldiers killed Lingzhou and blood flowed into a river, and the bones were like mountains. Looking at the snowflakes floating in the sky again, Li Yuan was in a very bad mood.

Just when Li Yuan was about to despair, Li Xiuning entered the palace with a bedding.

Seeing Li Xiuning come in, Li Yuan's inexplicably irritable mood suddenly improved.

"Sanniang knew that her father was frustrated, so she sent a new mattress over?"

Li Xiuning smiled and said, "Dad, you don't know this is a good thing!"

As the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, no matter how embarrassed the Tang Dynasty is, he will not treat Li Yuan unfairly. In fact, Li Yuan will never wake up like Chen Ying. He built a good bear-skin mattress, which has excellent warmth. When the emperor wants to be a world-class person, he values ​​not the wealth, but the filial piety of his children.

Li Yuan said: "Sanniang, what do you want? Apart from termination of marriage with Chai Shao, Dad promised you!"

Li Xiuning was inexplicably depressed when she heard this. In fact, she did intend to terminate this marriage with Chai Shao in name only, but before she could speak, Li Yuan blocked the words.

Li Xiuning's face slowly sank.

Li Yuan had to explain patiently: "Sanniang, be patient for a while, Dad has his own difficulties. Although our Tang Dynasty looks glorious, it is actually a troublesome. This country really cannot withstand the toss and troubles!"

Li Xiuning retorted: "Is that going to ruin my daughter's happiness for the rest of her life?"

"It's not going to last a lifetime!" Li Yuan sighed and said, "Behind Chai Shao is the Chai Valve. The Chai Valve and Guanlong Group are incompatible, and they can move the whole body with one move!"

The Chai clan of Chai Shao was actually not a Han Chinese. Their ancestors were the Achai tribe (known in history as Alu) of the Tuyuhun tribe of the Xianbei tribe. During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, the Xianbei tribe surnames were collectively sinicized, and Achai Lu was renamed the Chai clan. Although Li Xiuning also had Xianbei blood, she looked down on Chai Shao.

A man who doesn't even have the courage to protect his own woman can be said to be a shame for men. Of course, Li Xiuning did not think from the perspective of others. In fact, nomadic peoples are not as loyal to women as they are in later film and television dramas. What about you being Feng'er or Sha? This is simply nonsense. When Temujin was in a downturn, he even threw away his wife. Minister Tuotuo gave birth to a son for him with Temujin's wife. Temujin didn't agree with it and regarded him as a parent-child.

In fact, Chai Shao is the same. Different ethnic habits and their reactions to their wives are naturally different. In nomadic peoples, women are just a tool to have children. At any time, any woman can bear this responsibility and don’t care at all.

This is Li Xiuning's knot. Li Xiuning will never forgive Chai Shao, but Chai Shao thinks he is actually nothing wrong.

Li Yuan reached out to take the soft down jacket and immediately felt a difference.

In fact, without Li Xiuning's explanation, Li Yuan could see the military value of down jackets and down quilts at a glance. If down is made into sleeping bags, this kind of down sleeping bag that is airtight will not cause frostbite or loss of personnel even in the snow and ice. This is just like I was about to fall asleep, so someone gave me a pillow.

When Li Xiuning learned from him that Chen Ying, who invented the down quilt, was only sixteen years old, Li Yuan's interest in him increased greatly.

...

Chen Ying followed Chen Qi all the way to the Zhuque Gate of the Imperial Palace. Even if he entered the Zhuque Gate, he was just entering the imperial city. Liang Zan and Suihu were left outside the gate. After the inspection of the Imperial Guards, Chen Ying knew that Li Yuan was summoned and did not carry his weapons. He followed Chen Qi Road along the road northward and passed through Taichang Temple, Zongzheng Temple, Taipu Temple, Shangshu Province, and then entered the Sixteen Guards' Mansion. The first ones were to enter the left and right Wuwei Palace, then the left and right Qianniu Guards and the Central Secretariat.

Outside Chengtian Gate, Chen Ying was searched again. This time he searched her body very carefully, and even took off her boots and touched her. Chen Qi saw that Chen Ying's face was a little unnatural, and immediately came up to explain: "General Chen, they are also their responsibilities, not deliberately making things difficult for the general!"

Chen Ying's face was a little slower. Fortunately, he didn't spend much time entering Chengtian Gate this time. The terrain became wider, and the surrounding palaces and towers gradually showed some momentum. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he finally came to the Tianjie outside Chengtian Gate. There were already a hundred ministers standing there in groups of three or three, most of whom were wearing blush, and only ten people in purple robe. Therefore, Chen Ying's arrival immediately caused a small commotion, and the surrounding civil and military ministers were speculating on the identity of the upstart in private.

Chen Qi was worried that Li Yuanjiu and others would be true to the officials who came to inquire about Chen Ying's identity.

Chen Qi suddenly pointed to the side palace and said, "General Chen is here for a while, our family is going to report!"

Chen Ying nodded.

Chen Qi took a small step and ran towards the Tai Chi Palace.

In the side halls in the palace, only some veterans enjoyed the treatment. The emperor had no time to summon them for a while, so they rested here with tea. This was the grace of the emperor, but most ministers were not qualified to enjoy this honor.

Soon, Chen Ying knew that he was honored to be in the ranks of qualifying for this grace.

"General Xuan Ningyuan, Chen Ying, met with him!"

"General Xuan Ningyuan, Chen Ying, met with him!"

Just as Chen Yinglian had not finished drinking a cup of tea, he heard the shouting of the soldiers of the guards, coming from afar, and the sound was rising and falling.
