I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 222 Li Zheng returns to the court

Seeing Li Zheng's proud look, Li Ke could only stare, not knowing what to say.

"Remember to bring some wine when you get back."

"Don't forget."

"This is what you owe me." Li Ke said angrily.

"Okay, let alone delivering wine, I will send people to Youzhou Mansion to open Lin's Restaurant. His Highness King Wu must take good care of him!"

Li Zheng smiled.

"You guy, I said you have bad intentions. It turns out you have been waiting for me to speak for a long time."

Li Ke laughed and cursed.

"Ha ha."

Li Zheng smiled, too lazy to explain anything.

Anyway, it's best to open Lin's restaurants and vinegar shops everywhere to make a lot of money.

This is all the capital for him to cultivate his own power.

You have already captured Wang Xinyu, and relying on the father-in-law, the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, you may still be short of money?

Li Ke looked at Li Zheng and asked teasingly.

"The richest man in the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Zheng was stunned.

"Don't you know that Wang Xinyu is the daughter of Wang Yuanbao, the richest man in the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Ke was also surprised.

"I really don't know that."

"I thought she was just a girl from an ordinary family!"

Li Zheng was completely stunned.

"You are really a lucky guy. You just saved someone, the daughter of the richest businessman in the Tang Dynasty. I am envious of you."

"However, based on your status, the Wang family is considered to be a high-ranking family, and a merchant's daughter can marry you."

Li Ke sighed very much.

"I was not a merchant before, but I changed my status from joining the army."

Li Zheng smiled.

"You will understand later how much incense the Wang family burns."

Li Ke smiled and didn't explain too much.

With the status of Prince Li Zheng, let alone the Wang family, even the Qin family burns high incense. He is the current prince and the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

The daughter of the Qin family will become the queen in the future.

but.

For Li Ke, it is also a good thing that he has such a good relationship with Li Zheng.

At least after Li Zheng ascends the throne, he doesn't need to worry about his own safety.

"Zhao Ming!"

Li Zheng shouted loudly.

"My subordinate is here!"

Zhao Ming quickly came to Li Zheng.

"get ready."

"Departure to Chang'an."

Li Zheng said loudly.

"I obey my orders!"

Zhao Ming said respectfully.

"I was not around when Wan'er gave birth to Li Xian. I must not miss this time."

An expectant smile appeared on Li Zheng's face.

……

Time flies.

Chang'an City, inside the Tai Chi Hall.

"Report!"

"General Li Zheng has returned to Chang'an and is now heading to the palace."

A Yulin Army commander reported to Li Shimin.

"Okay, it'll be nice if this kid comes back."

"He's back."

"It proves that Youzhou Mansion has been completely settled, and we can feel relieved."

Li Shimin said with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty shouted one after another.

Everyone can clearly see how happy Li Shimin is when Li Zheng returns.

but.

None of the courtiers were surprised.

Li Zheng not only performed extraordinary feats on the battlefield, but also saved the current prince's life. It would be very strange if such achievements could not be valued by the current emperor.

"Li Zheng is back." "I have to find a chance to get his forgiveness."

"I can't let him continue to hate me."

Hou Junji's thoughts were extremely complicated at the moment. Ever since he learned that Li Zheng had rescued his son-in-law, the prince Li Chengqian, his attitude toward Li Zheng had undergone a 180-degree turn.

I was happy to hear that Li Zheng was back, but also very worried.

After all, the shit he did before had indeed made Li Zheng very angry.

"Start your Majesty."

"General Li Zheng pacified the Youzhou rebels and completely resolved the hidden dangers of Xue Yantuo's three tribes. This achievement deserves a heavy reward."

Wei Zheng stood up and said with a serious face.

"I second the proposal."

Qin Jiansheng immediately stood up and echoed.

"I also second my opinion."

Hou Junji also immediately stood up and echoed.

When Wei Zheng stepped forward, not many people thought much about it. After all, Wei Zheng was known for his uprightness in the court.

In his eyes, those who have meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who are guilty will be punished. Even the prince has to do this.

For this reason, Li Shimin often failed to step down, but he also gained the respect of the ministers of the DPRK and China as well as Li Shimin.

Historical books also compare Wei Zheng to Li Shimin's mirror.

It not only safeguards the authority of the emperor, but also deters unhealthy trends in the court.

Therefore, after Wei Zheng's death, Li Shimin was heartbroken.

Lamented endlessly.

But at this moment Hou Junji stood up and seconded the proposal.

But it made all the officials in the court look at him with confusion.

"It is a strange thing that Hou Junji, a reckless man, also agreed to reward Li Zheng."

"Could it be that Hou Junji saw Li Zheng's status in the emperor's heart and wanted to give in?"

"However, this is obviously not Hou Junji's character. If he is willing to give in, then he is not Hou Junji."

"This reckless man..."

The ministers in the court looked at Hou Junji with surprise.

In the minds of many courtiers, Hou Junji is like a madman. If he is targeted, it is like being targeted by a mad dog. Therefore, many people in the court are unwilling to offend Hou Junji.

Li Shimin glanced at Hou Junji and said nothing.

He was well aware of Hou Junji's transformation.

All this is because of the prince.

"I have seen Li Zheng's merits, so how could I not reward him?"

"When he comes to the palace to see you, I will reward him."

"My principle is that meritorious officials must be rewarded heavily, and corrupt officials must be severely punished."

Li Shimin laughed loudly.

The words were also full of warnings to the courtiers.

"The Emperor's holy words shall be remembered by all ministers."

All the civil and military officials in the court said in unison.

Not a moment.

In Li Shimin's expectant eyes.

Li Zheng strode into the hall and put on a brand new unicorn armor, looking very powerful.

He had just returned from the battlefield, and the murderous aura and solemn aura in his body seemed to be present, and could be felt by everyone.

"This kid is finally back."

Looking at his prince, Li Shimin's eyes were full of touch and tenderness.

To tell the truth.

He felt too guilty for being an imperial son who grew up in poverty, and he really wanted to make up for it all.

"Your Majesty, Li Zheng, is here to see you."

Under the gaze of civil and military officials from all over the court, Li Zheng walked into the center of the hall, knelt on one knee and shouted.

"Speak on your own."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said with joy in his eyes.

The tone is also extremely gentle.

As soon as Li Zheng arrived.

All civil and military officials in the court could hear the change in Li Shimin's voice, which was no longer as solemn as before.

But in the heart of a courtier, apart from understanding that Li Shimin valued his close ministers, he couldn't think of anything else.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Zheng stood up slowly and thanked him directly.

"How does it feel to be on the battlefield for more than seven months?"

Li Shimin asked with a smile.
