Itchy, almost pursing my ears in public.
A Xuan’s magic sound is in his brain and stops! Don’t say anything to me anymore, “I’m drifting for half my life, I just regret not meeting the wise master”! I don’t want to accept an adopted son, nor do I want to be stabbed by a back!
Alas, even if Ah Xuan was not around, Ah Xuan’s demonic voice tortured Li Shimin very much.
“Get up. Liu Heita, it seems you don’t have to go to guard the border.” Li Shimin helped Dou Jiande up and teased Liu Heita, “Dou Jiande, you can follow Liu Heita first. There are many wars in the world. After pacifying the world, there will be East-West Turks and Goryeo, and they will still have to be governed after the war. As long as you have the ability, there are many places to make contributions in the future, so don’t worry about the future.”
Dou Jiande listened to Li Shimin’s words to comfort him, and understood a little that the generals behind Li Shimin were all the same shiny eyes, as if he had the big yellow dog eyes raised when he was a rich man.
Even though Li Shimin did not promise him a high-ranking official and generous salary, he also bluntly stated that the status of the surrendered general in his heart was as good as that of other generals who had never fought with him and had not caused any casualties to his soldiers, he could not be worried and afraid of Li Shimin. He believed that as long as Li Shimin did not kill him now, he would not kill him in the future because of fear of suspicion.
Dou Jiande clasped his fists and said, “Yes, lord. Dou… his subordinates still have some skills. At least they will be a prefect for the lord in the future, and they will be more than enough to govern a county.”
Li Shimin said, “Then I’m relieved.”
He turned to the generals behind him and said, “You must also study hard. If you don’t study hard now, and after the world is pacified in the future, you can’t do the job of a civil servant, you can’t entrust you with important tasks. However, Ah Xuan has already decided on a retreat for you. When you return to Daxing, you will take turns to stay behind to read and read, and at least you must be able to recognize official documents.”
Several generals’ faces changed drastically: “What? Do you still need to read and read?!”
Li Shimin smiled with his hands behind his back, “It’s not that easy to be a high-ranking official. If you don’t know how to read or not, you won’t know if you are deceived by your aides in the future. Many founding heroes in history have been deceived and their families have been destroyed. The struggle in the court is very fierce, and you can protect yourself by studying more. Don’t worry, A Xuan has already arranged it for you. If you don’t believe me, please ask Qin Shubao.”
All the generals looked at Qin Qiong together.
Qin Qiong said, “Sanlang is indeed always reminding me like this.”
All generals: “…”
Qin Qiong comforted: “Who lord cares about your reading and literacy? Do you not be deceived by your aides after the world is pacified? You should be happy.”
Liu Heita sighed: “It’s happy to be happy, but I really…” He knew a little, but he really couldn’t calm down his mind to study, otherwise he wouldn’t have been walking his dog to bet on all day long, and his family business was so decaying that he was rescued by Dou Jiande.
Li Shimin patted Dou Jiande on the shoulderYa grinned and said, “Dou Jiande, aren’t you his benefactor? I’ll leave it to you to teach Liu Heita to study.”
Dou Jiande looked at Liu Heita’s expression of losing his parents, and held back his smile and said, “I will take the order.”
Liu Heita sighed again. The other colleagues laughed and the atmosphere was much happier for a while. The barriers between Wagangzhai Rebel Army, Qilu Rebel Army and Dou Jiande Rebel Army were much smaller.
After Dou Jiande surrendered, Dou Jiande’s generals naturally surrendered one after another.
After hearing what Li Shimin said, “The initial treatment of surrendered generals will not be too high, and I cannot let my companions feel heartbroken”, they felt much less panic in their hearts and were willing to believe in the treatment Li Shimin gave them.
Li Shimin patted his head and realized something, but smiled and didn’t tell anyone else.
After returning, he would share his thoughts on the way with A Xuan.
Li Shimin stayed in Lujiang County for a few days, first restraining the bones on the battlefield before he dealt with Yu Wenji’s affairs.
When Dou Jiande caught Yu Wenji, he had already killed Yu Wenji, Yu Wenzhi and his descendants. However, Yu Wen and the army also hosted many senior officials of the Sui Dynasty who had originally visited Jiangdu with Yang Guang. These people followed Dou Jiande to the battlefield and were under house arrest.
Li Shimin rescued these people and told them that the Sui Dynasty had fallen and that he ascended the throne after returning to Xijing.
“Luoyang is still in Yang Xuangan’s hands. When I go back and ascend to the rank of the rank, I will beat him.” Li Shimin said.
Cui Junsu, the Minister of War, asked the rescued old minister of the Sui Dynasty, inquire about his inner doubts: “I heard that the Duke of Tang has ascended the throne. Is the Duke of Tang abdicated and become the Supreme Emperor?”
Li Shimin said: “I don’t know.”
