(It's on the shelves, please order for the first time!)

Li Yan was very proud of the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce. In the blink of an eye, he earned tens of millions of dollars, but there were gains and losses. Before he was happy for long, Xue Rengui rushed back from Songzhou, bringing him a headache.

"After the last general arrived in Songzhou, the original guards had gone eight out of ten before they were handed over, leaving only some local generals. Now the soldiers are talking and have no intention of defending at all. Tuyuhun seems to have learned about the changes in the defenders in Songzhou and continue to invade the border." Xue Rengui bowed and said.

Qin Huaiyu said angrily: "This must be the idea of ​​those court officials again, it's too much!"

Li Yan had a calm face and did not speak. After he accepted Chengdu Prefecture, military affairs should be the top priority. After all, he was responsible for guarding the border. If something went wrong, Li Shimin would not be able to protect him and could only punish him.

"Qin Huaiyu, you immediately rushed to Songzhou with the soldiers of Yizhou, and at the same time ordered the soldiers of other states to draw troops to meet in Songzhou. When you passed by Mianzhou, you go and visit the commander Niu Jinda to find out what he meant and ask if he would stay and help me?"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Qin Huaiyu was impatient and wanted to leave after saying that.

"Wait, why are you so anxious?" Li Yan called him.

Qin Huaiyu turned around and said in confusion: "What else does Your Highness have to give?"

Li Yan said to Jin Daqian: "Go and bring the weapons sent from the Iron and Steel Floor."

"Yes!" Jin Daqian responded, turned around and left. After a while, the three servants each entered the front hall with a weapon.

The head servant held a silver-white spear, and the body and blade of the gun were integrated into one. The spear head was like a hanging pyramid, shaped like a Mitsubishi thorn. The blade of the gun was shining coldly.

When Qin Huaiyu saw this spear, his eyes were straightened. He walked to the servants as if he had lost his soul, and touched the spear as if he was stroking "qingren"'s body. "Your Highness, is this for me?"

"Of course, who else can do this except you know how to use a gun?" Qin Huaiyu's reaction was expected by Li Yan. This steel spear was carefully crafted by Li Yan by the blacksmith shop, and the material and craftsmanship were impeccable.

Qin Huaiyu took the spear from his servant and tried it. He danced a few times on the spot, his movements were swift and fierce, and it was definitely not the flowery airs of modern society. After playing a set, Qin Huaiyu laughed and said, "It's just right, thank you Your Highness!"

Li Yan said: "This is called the Longtian bright silver spear, which is named after the weapons of Zhao Yun, the general of the Five Tigers of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period. I hope you can be the only one side like Zhao Yun and protect the territory of Chengdu Prefecture."

Qin Huaiyu was moved, but he didn't expect Li Yan to have such great expectations for him, and said, "Your Highness, Huaiyu is stationed in Songzhou, so he will not allow a Tuyuhun soldier to step onto the land of our Tang Dynasty."

Li Yan nodded slightly and asked the two servants to take the weapons they were holding. "These are two weapons cast together with the gentian bright silver spear, both of which are horizontal swords." Li Yan picked up one and went to Xue Rengui, "This is a gift to you. I hope you can protect the territory of Chengdu Prefecture like Qin Huaiyu."

"Your Highness. This... Rengui has not made any achievements since he arrived in Yizhou. How could he bear this precious sword?" Xue Rengui looked puzzled.

Li Yan smiled and said, "I teach you this sword. It is to encourage your sword to be sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. I believe you will become a famous general of a generation."

Xue Rengui's eyes heated up, and his knees touched the ground, saying, "With your highness' appreciation, Xue Rengui's death is repaid, and he will be the dog and horse."

Li Yan helped Xue Rengui up, "With your words, I, he, is the king, a knife."

Qin Huaiyu also smiled and said, "Rengui, I was so negligent in the past, so please forgive me. From today on, you and I will be brothers, how about it?"

"Honor is over!" Xue Rengui bowed.

After saying that, both of them laughed. Qin Huaiyu looked at the second knife and said in confusion: "Your Highness, who is this horizontal knife for?"

"It's for those you're going to visit."

"General Niu?"

Li Yan said: "That's right, Niu Jinda is a veteran of the Qin family. He is deeply trusted by his father. He has a straightforward personality and does not like to cling to the powerful. It is because of this that he was transferred to Mianzhou. When you go to see him, you should not be mentioned as serving me. Just say that Songzhou now lacks generals. If you are ordered to transfer him to Songzhou and give him this horizontal knife at the same time, he will understand my intention."

"Yes!" Qin Huaiyu still respects Niu Jinda very much. Once Niu Jinda, Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin both served Wang Shichong. Later, the three of them left Wang Shichong to serve Li Shimin together, and they were considered as uncle Qin Huaiyu.

Li Yan asked Qin Huaiyu to go so that Niu Jinda could miss his friendship with Qin Shubao and could go to Songzhou to guard the southwest gateway of the Tang Dynasty. No matter how you say, Qin Huaiyu and Xue Rengui have never been to the battlefield. With him as a veteran, Li Yan could be relieved.

The two of them took the order and left. Li Yan suddenly felt that there was really a shortage of talents around him, and he felt that it was really necessary to build this military academy.

At the same time, Li Yan also deeply lamented that Changsun Wuji was really an old fox. The responsibility of guarding the border was really a vicious plan. The Tang Dynasty was so poor in the early years of Zhenguan because of years of military use. Not only did this military use occupy the strong men and abandon production, but he had to eat food when he joined the army, which was equivalent to only going out but not entering, and of course he was poor.

The responsibility of guarding the border was placed on Li Yan, and the court had a large amount of expenses left, but this important task was placed on Li Yan. Moreover, when Li Yan came to recruit troops to guard the border, he had to give these soldiers food. The productivity of Chengdu Prefecture would be affected, which would undoubtedly affect the development of Chengdu Prefecture. However, if Li Yan was an ordinary person, it would be over, but Li Yan was obviously not.

After Qin Huaiyu left, Su Mo'er walked in and placed a few pieces of paper in front of Li Yan.

"Your Highness, these are all the information collected recently. Do you want to take a look?" Su Moer said.

This was the first time Su Mo'er reported information to him after he came back. Li Yan took it and looked at it. The above recorded some detailed works on weekdays in Yizhou, and some Chang'an officials were doing. The news about Li Shimin, Li Ke and other princes were all above. Li Yan looked down, and there were even Cui Yingying doing something and who had contacted him.

Li Yan was sweating on his forehead. Except for him, he basically had everything on it, and there were even news about the disagreement between Cui Zhang and Dou Xiande.

"Ahem, Mo'er, there is no need to monitor Cui Yingying!" Li Yan said.

Su Mo'er smiled gently and said, "Is Your Highness selfish or public?"

"This Cui Yingying is the princess, and it should not be detrimental to me if the same wife is apart." Li Yan argued for his decision.

"Your Highness!" Su Mo'er said seriously: "Mo'er's duty is to clear away all potential threats for Your Highness. Mo'er will not trust anyone."

Li Yan knew that this was right, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay." Then he continued to look through the information. When he saw Li Chengqian invited a Taoist priest You Fang to refine a fairy pill for Li Shimin to take it, he was stunned.

"Where did this Taoist priest come from?" Li Yan frowned. Li Shimin was obsessed with elixirs and took elixirs, but this ancient elixir was no different from poison. Li Yan seriously suspected that Li Shimin died at the age of 52 and had a lot to do with this elixir.

Su Moer said: "It is said that the prince encountered a hunting encounter. It is rumored that when the prince met this Taoist priest, auspiciousness came from the sky. The Taoist priest told him the identity of Li Chengqian in one word. The prince thought he was a god, so he invited him back to the East Palace and introduced him to Li Shimin the next day. After entering the palace, this Taoist priest gave Empress Changsun a golden elixir. Empress Changsun's condition was mostly cured." When he said that, Su Moer was actually fascinated.

The Tang Dynasty believed in Taoism, and from the emperor to the Liming, everyone admired Taoism very much. It was not surprising that Su Moer had such an expression.

Li Yan was not prejudiced to Taoism and also liked Taoist philosophical thoughts of tranquility and inaction, but he was really unconscious of this elixir. This gunpowder is a by-product of alchemy, but can this gunpowder be taken? However, Empress Changsun actually surprised Li Yan after taking this Taoist elixir's elixir.

"It is said that after this incident, Your Majesty respected this Taoist priest very much and rewarded the prince with a large amount of money and silk."
