Everyone in the world is drunk and I am awake alone, and everyone in the world is turbid and I am clear alone.

The packaging of the soap gift sample is not gorgeous, but it is fresh and unique. The ordinary wooden box is only brushed with tung oil and is not painted. The unique feature is that a poem is engraved on the lid, Qu Yuan's poem.

It was a bit appropriate to put this poem on this soap box.

"My dear concubine, these are the soaps sent by Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin. They are available in various fragrances, pure white fragrance, mint comfort type, honeysuckle fragrance type, chrysanthemum spirit-pleasing type, vermicelli refreshing type, aloe skin care type, lemon flavor removal type, Chinese herbal health skin-benefit type, and ginseng essence skin-revitalizing type, a total of nine types."

In the Qin King's Mansion, Li Shimin brought nine soaps to Changsun like a treasure.

Opposite Li Shimin, Princess Qin Changsun looked at the soap sent by her husband and smiled, "Actually, the bath beans in the mansion are very useful. This soap is made so fine and has so many fragrances. It is probably not cheap. Why should you spend money on it?"

The Princess Changsun of Qin was three years younger than her husband and married Li Shimin at the age of thirteen. It has been seven years now. The relationship between the couple is still very good. Li Shimin respects this wife very much and is dignified and virtuous.

Now, Li Shimin has given birth to a daughter with two characters, including the eldest son Li Chengqian, the second son Li Tai, and the legitimate daughter Li Lizhi. The eldest son is three years old, the second son is two years old, and the daughter is one year old.

Although their two sons were young, they were both loved by the emperor's grandfather Li Yuan. Because Li Chengqian was born in Chengqian Hall of Tai Chi Palace, he was named Chengqian. He was named King of Hengshan at the time of birth and then the crown prince of the King of Qin. His second son Li Tai was born last year and was still in his infancy, and this year his brother Chengqian was named King of Qin, and Li Tai was appointed King of Wei.

Changsun was respected by Li Shimin, and now he gave birth to two sons and one daughter one after another, so his status in the Qin Palace became more stable. Moreover, Changsun’s elder brother Changsun Wuji was also Li Shimin’s confidant.

"Guanyinbi, this thing is much better than bath beans. I tried it. Whether it is washing your face or washing your hands, it is really useful. It can not only remove oil, but also retain the fragrance after washing, which will not dissipate for a long time."

In the backyard of the royal palace without outsiders, Li Shimin and Changsun were alone without the majesty of being arrogant. In fact, Li Shimin is only twenty-three years old this year. If he put aside the countless halos of official titles on him, he was just a young man.

"Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin are the generals that Your Highness values. Why do they still give His Highness such a valuable gift?" Changsun asked while helping Li Shimin tidy up his clothes.

"It's not for Shan Xiongxin's business."

"I think Your Highness should consider it carefully. I heard that Shan Xiongxin has a very good relationship with the generals of Kanto. If Your Highness and Your Majesty ignore their feelings and insist on executing Shan Xiongxin, it will be a pity for these people."

Li Shimin grabbed Changsun's hand and smiled, "You are right about this. I have already talked with my father today. I ask my father to give face to the generals of Guandong and pardon Shan Xiongxin. Your Majesty has agreed and transferred Shan Xiongxin to the Qin Palace and appointed him as the right third commander."

Changsun was a little surprised.

"Didn't your highness insist on executing Shan Xiongxin before, why did you take the initiative to plead for him today?"

Li Shimin stroked Changsun's hand and looked at his beautiful wife and smiled, "It's time and time. Although Shan Xiongxin is a powerful general, our Tang Dynasty does not lack such brave generals. Whether it is Qin Shubao, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin, Wang Junkuo, Niu Jinda, etc., one of them is not a brave general of the world, and it is not inferior to Shan Xiongxin."

Shan Xiong is brave, but Li Shimin thinks Shan Xiongxin is not good at character.

Moreover, I was insulted and threatened by Shan Xiongxin in Luoyang, and I was almost captured by Shan Xiongxin.

Of course, if this is the case, it wouldn't be a big deal. Most of these powerful generals under his command are subordinates of other people. The key is the emperor. The emperor wants to kill the generals in Luoyang, and even the emperor wants to kill them. After executing Dou Jiande, the emperor ordered the execution of the generals in Luoyang and summoned the old civil and military generals of Dou Jiande, Hebei to be summoned to the capital.

He knew some of his father's thoughts. After all, after the war in the Central Plains, the world was settled, so there was no need to indulge those rebels against the king and the generals.

The emperor wanted to kill Shan Xiongxin, and Li Shimin was of course too lazy to stand up for him.

Later, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao pleaded for mercy. Li Shimin thought of giving them face, but after Li Shiji entered the capital, he connected with old Shandong generals everywhere and pleaded with the emperor. This incident was a big deal. Li Shiji was eager to save people, but unexpectedly, this move made the emperor very afraid and dissatisfied.

Li Shimin saw it very clearly, and at this time he also gave up the idea of ​​pleading. The more Li Shiji and others pleaded, the less accurate the emperor would be.

This was the case, and Shan Xiongxin would undoubtedly die.

But suddenly, Li Shiji took the initiative to write a letter to ask to return to Liyang to help suppress the anti-army in Hebei, and no longer requested Shan Xiongxin.

Li Shiji took the initiative to give in, and other former Shandong generals no longer pleaded with each other.

At this time, Qin Qiong came to plead with him and stated that if Shan Xiongxin could come out, he would be loyal to the King of Qin in the future.

The situation was different. After careful consideration, Qin Qiong changed his attitude.

If the emperor could persuade the emperor to pardon Shan Xiongxin, the group of Shandong old generals in the Qin Palace, such as Qin Qiongcheng Yaojin and other generals, will definitely be even more grateful. On the other hand, former Shandong generals such as Li Shiji and Luo Shixin in the court will definitely remember their favor. These generals are not from their Qin Palace now. After this incident, they will definitely gain a lot of favor and enhance their relationship.

The most important thing is that Li Shiji took the initiative to return to Hebei, which made the emperor no longer so afraid of this matter, and gave him room to operate.

As Li Shimin expected, when he brought this matter to his father, the emperor was no longer so determined. He took some effort to finally move the emperor.

One of the reasons why Li Shimin convinced the emperor was that the current situation was turbulent. After the last battle in the Central Plains, the situation was good, but at that time, both father and son made a decision to shock their blood and severely suppress Xia Zhengyu's troops. They originally wanted to eliminate the roots, but the facts proved that they were still a little too hasty.

Although Henan is still stable, Hebei is in chaos.

Liu Heita overthrew Hebei. The news just passed back from the Hebei front line was that the 50,000 army led by Li Shentong was defeated in Raoyang, Hebei.

Li Shentong led an army of 50,000 to fight against Liu Heita's 5,000 troops in Raoyang. As a result, he was reversed in the end while having the advantage and having the advantage at the beginning.

Fifty thousand people were killed by five thousand people and wiped out the entire army.

The even more unfortunate news is that the 20,000 Youzhou Army led by Li Yi in Youzhou fought a decisive battle with the 5,000 troops separated by Liu Heita in the north and was also defeated.

The two troops were wiped out, and only a few commanders fled back. Li Yi's two generals, Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun, were captured alive and shaved to do hard labor.

The news came back and the court was shocked.

Li Shimin and Li Yuan also regretted it. If he had adopted the pacification strategy, Hebei might not have rebelled. The battle in Raoyang also made them realize that the Tang Dynasty was not as strong as they imagined, and the anti-army in Hebei would not have been destroyed.

Now Li Shimin uses this matter to talk about Shan Xiongxin's affairs and says that if the court now pardons Shan Xiongxin and uses Hebei to suppress and pacify, it may greatly improve the unfavorable situation in Hebei and win back people's hearts.

There is another important reason for pardoning Shan Xiongxin, that is, Li Shentong and Li Yi were wiped out one after another, and only Li Shiji, who was stationed in Li Yang, had a living force in Hebei.

At this time, we must sell Li Shiji for a face and Shandong's old generals, because after Hebei was defeated, the court must send troops to fight again, and many Shandong's old generals will definitely be dispatched at that time.

Now, it is no longer how Li Yuan guards against Shandong generals, or how to intimidate them, but how to win over and show goodwill.

After Li Shimin said so much, he came forward to request. Li Yuan also followed the situation and issued an order to pardon Shan Xiongxin. At the same time, as Li Shimin wished, he transferred Shan Xiongxin to the Qin Prince's Mansion Protector's Mansion.

"The situation in Hebei is repeated, is Your Highness going to go to war again?" Changsun asked worriedly.

Li Shimin shook his head, "I did ask His Majesty to command troops to fight against Hebei's rebellion, but the prince said that Hebei was just a small chaos and did not require me to command troops. The prince recommended the King of Yi'an to command troops and sent troops to cooperate with Li Shiji and Li Yi and Hebei and Henan."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin was very unhappy. King Li Xiaochang of Yi'an was in the Tang Dynasty. When the Li family raised an army, he presented the Yongfeng Cang he was stationed to the Li family, and led his troops to support the Li family, which made great contributions to the Li family's occupation of Guanzhong and future development. Yongfeng Cang was one of the four major transfer granaries of the Sui Dynasty at that time.

But if you forget about this, Li Xiaochang's ability to lead troops to fight is very ordinary.

In terms of war skills, Li Xiaochang's ability is far worse than Li Shentong. Li Shentong and Li Yi both lost and lost in Hebei. What's the use of sending Li Xiaochang to go?

However, the prince deliberately made the situation in Hebei very light, and his intention was very obvious. This year, he won the victory in the Central Plains and was appointed as the general of Tiance. This made the prince very alert and guarded against him, fearing that he would threaten his status even more after he went out to win again.

"Your Highness, don't worry too much. Maybe this time the King of Yi'an will be able to succeed and win the championship."

"It would be better to expect him to win, than to expect Liu Heita to surrender voluntarily. Forget it, it is useless to say more, wait. When the news of the defeat of King Yi'an arrives, Your Majesty will naturally order me to go to war."

"Guanyinbi, let's go take a bath together and try this new soap!"

Changsun blushed and said shyly, "Your Highness."

"Lizhi is over half a year old, let's hurry up and get pregnant with another one this year. When I go to Hebei, I will be out of time again." Li Shimin laughed, hugged Changsun in his arms, and smiled and headed towards the bathroom, leaving bursts of laughter.
