Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 107
In May, it gets hotter.

The news of His Majesty's victory was like a gust of wind blowing through Chang'an.

The ancient city wall is full of traces of history, and the people of Chang'an under the city wall are looking forward to it.

Half a year ago, during the battle of Fengxiang, how many people packed up their luggage and waited for the news of the imperial court's defeat before fleeing.

Some people even fled after the emperor left the city.

But this time, there were far fewer people preparing to flee.

This is the confidence that comes with victory.

When Sun Kui received the battle report, he remained silent. When he returned home, he suddenly burst into tears. What does it mean for the emperor to win against Tuoba Sigong?Sun Kui is very clear, which means that the imperial court is in charge of the land in Guanzhong, which means that the Tang Dynasty has an opportunity to rejuvenate.

Kong Wei was so rare that he ordered his servants to serve a jug of wine.

Said: "Your Majesty has the style of Taizong!"

Han Jian, Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion, has been very busy recently, and His Majesty the Emperor is most concerned about the cultivation of the 24 counties of Chang'an. He has spent a lot of effort. In those barren lands, the seedlings are now as high as the belly.

Not only to cultivate wasteland, but also to clear channels, there are many trivial matters.

When he heard the news of the emperor's victory, he still couldn't help but sigh.

"If it wasn't for a decision made early on, it would be like Li Maozhen!"

The most excited one was in the harem. Concubine He Shu was so generous that she took out all the money from the bottom of the box, and everyone in the Daming Palace was rewarded.

Everyone in the palace is happy.

The people in Chang'an were even more lively. Everyone put on festival costumes and went to the Qujiang Pool to sing and dance.

Chang'an, the capital of the empire, is closely related to the fate of the Tang Dynasty. Both prosperity and prosperity, and loss and loss!
Of course, some people didn't believe it. Jiang Xuanhui, the emissary sent by Zhu Wen, was one of them. When the imperial army defeated Tuoba Sigong, who had tens of thousands of cavalry, when did the party members become so unbearable.

But when His Majesty the Emperor arrived in Chang'an, these people also shut up.

Kong Wei, Sun Kui and other prime ministers led a hundred officials out to welcome them for ten miles.

Looking at the mighty group of people, they were all shocked.

Thousands of carts of armor, money and food, [-] to [-] prisoners of war and slaves, and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep.

The soldiers are now also changing their shotguns and cannons. When they went out to fight, Sun Kui could see clearly that there were not many Shenwei troops on the left and right, and the eighth cavalry army. Still cheap paper armor.

Nowadays, almost everyone wears armor.

And what armor means in Datang may not be understood by many modern people.

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, possession of knives, bows and arrows is not a crime, but possession of armor is a death penalty for the clan.

The reason is simple. In the eyes of Tang people, armor is a military weapon, similar to the existence of Iron Man.

The dragon flag was getting closer and closer, and the emperor was wearing armor and looked majestic.

All the ministers knelt down and said, "The ministers are waiting to welcome His Majesty's triumphant return."

Li Ye got off his horse and helped up the chiefs, saying: "During my absence, all the officials have worked hard!"

The slaves of the original Jingyuan Army were received by their own armies. His Majesty the Emperor divided the sheep among the armies and raised them by the army slaves, which could also increase meat consumption.

As for the prisoners of war of the Dangxiang Army, they were all taken to the Daoxiyuan school yard for custody, and the rest of the grain and grass soldiers were taken to the treasury of the Ministry of Households.

As for cattle, they are strategic materials, and the Ministry of Households will send people to take care of them in a unified manner. How to distribute them still needs to be discussed.

All of a sudden, the city of Chang'an was full of vehicles and horses, and the roads were blocked by people. The dignitaries and nobles in the imperial capital and the common people in the market have never seen such a world.

Someone who understood said: "Your Majesty, this is not an ordinary victory, is it?"

"how to say!"

"There are so many prisoners of war in a normal victory. I'm afraid this is a big victory for killing the army. Look at the prison car, it must be the enemy's chief general."

"It really looks like it!"

Jiang Xuanhui on the side opened his eyes wide, not daring to miss every detail, and the charcoal pen in his hand kept writing the estimated number of soldiers, prisoners of war, carts, cattle and sheep.

When Jiang Xuanhui saw Jing Xiang riding a big horse, following the emperor's side from a distance, he couldn't keep his mouth shut anymore.

Jiang Xuanhui naturally understood, what does this scene mean?
"Jingxiang is so favored by the emperor."

Jiang Xuanhui watched Jingxiang's figure fade away thoughtfully.The sense of urgency in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.

"Jie Shuai and Li Keyong have been fighting fiercely for two months, and the battle is very tense. If the court doesn't intervene, the good situation will be ruined."

Jiang Xuanhui was very helpless, the court didn't talk to him at all, and he couldn't even speak. When he returned to his residence, Jiang Xuanhui immediately sent someone to Jingxiang's mansion to send a greeting card.

"I hope Jingxiang can see me for the sake of his former colleagues!"

……

When Li Ye entered the Daming Palace, there were already palace people waiting at the gate of the palace.

Zhao Xi stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the servants have prepared their uniforms, will Your Majesty take off their armor?"

This little eunuch is really sensible. On this scorching day, Li Ye was already sweating in this suit of armor.

For Junyi, he also worked hard.

Quickly change into regular clothes and relax.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu has prepared bath soup. Would you like to go to Qingsi Palace to relieve fatigue?"

"So good!"

After a while, they arrived at Qingsi Hall, Concubine He Shu led a group of concubines, princes and princesses to wait outside the hall.

"The concubine welcomes His Majesty's triumphant return."

Concubine He Shu is wearing a purple wide swing skirt, the one on the left next to her in a blue skirt is Defei Pei Zhen, the one on the right wearing a red skirt is Zhaoyi Chen, and next to Chen is Zhaorong Liu.

All the princes and princesses are in front of their birth mother.

Li Ye also saw Shi Niang standing with the palace maid.

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you!"

When Li Ye came to the throne, there was a great funeral, and he did not accept any more concubines. Currently, there are only four people in the harem who are officially conferred.

Even so, His Majesty the Emperor already had three sons and two daughters, among which King De Li Yu and Princess Pingyuan were born to Concubine He Shu.

Li Xu was born to Concubine Pei, and Li Qie was born to Liu Zhaorong. The two have not yet been crowned king. The youngest princess, Li Yao, was also born to Concubine Pei and has not yet been conferred the title of princess.

The Chen family of Zhaoyi is the most talented, and also the most outstanding in appearance, and has not yet had children.

According to the original history, a few years later, Li Keyong helped Zhaozong defeat the little monster Li Maozhen. Zhaozong was grateful and gave the Chen family to Li Keyong.

After Li Keyong died, the Chen family escaped into Buddhism and died well. Compared with Concubine He Shu, Pei Zhen, Zhaoyi and Li Jianrong, the end was much better.

By the way, where is Li Jianrong?
I haven't entered the palace yet!

Li Ye also wanted to make out with the little people carved in pink and jade, but except for De Wang, the other children all burrowed into their mother's arms.

Li Ye grabbed the little princess Li Yao by force, and the little girl cried out in fright.

Concubine Pei coaxed the child in embarrassment, Li Ye said softly: "I spend too little time with the children, so I will spend more time with them in the future."

Pei Zhen hadn't heard Li Ye speak like this for a long time, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, but felt her eyes warm up, as if she was about to shed tears.

Concubine He Shu said: "Your Majesty, it's been a rough journey, let's take a bath first!"

"Wait a moment!"

Li Ye winked at Zhao Xi, and after a while, a pony was led to the front of the hall.

Li Ye picked up De Wang Li Yu and said, "Yeah, I brought it back specially for you, do you like it?"

"I like it, thank you, yeah!"

Li Yu, who was only six years old, hurriedly broke free and ran to the little pony.

"Be careful."

Zhao Xi carefully picked up Li Yu, put him on the horse, and led the pony around.

The two little eunuchs next to him nervously guarded the side.

The little people who had just recognized their birth also happily ran to play next to the pony, and the palace people hurriedly followed, for fear of falling.

"Your Majesty, I dote on Da Lang too much!"

Li Ye shook his head, and said solemnly: "When I was his age, I could ride a horse, bend a bow and shoot a big eagle."

The concubines stared blankly, but Concubine Chen, who just watched Li Ye making out with the princes and princesses, suddenly lost her sense of loss, and couldn't help laughing: "I have seen it before, that eagle is bigger, bigger than a cow !"
