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

Chapter 503 Birthday Gift: Longevity Pill
"The Emperor has arrived."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

Wang De shouted loudly.

All the guests who were chatting in the square stood up solemnly, all looked in the direction where the royal carriage was coming from, and then all bowed to pay homage.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Highness, the Crown Prince."

Under the spotlight.

The imperial carriage stopped in front of the steps of the square.

Several servants immediately stepped forward and drew aside the curtain.

Li Shimin, with an air of majesty, slowly walked down from the imperial carriage.

After he walked down.

Li Zheng, dressed in a royal robe, also followed him down.

Father and son.

One after the other.

Step by step, I walked along the red carpet towards the stairs of the square.

There was a group of attendants following behind him.

When you reach the top of the stairs.

The father and son turned around and overlooked the entire square.

Everyone in the square was under the gaze of the father and son.

The majesty of an emperor was fully displayed by the father and son.

"Flat body."

Li Shimin spread out his hands and spoke in a majestic voice with infinite dignity.

At his voice.

All guests.

All the imperial guards standing guard in the square stood up and thanked the emperor loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

"today."

"It is the fiftieth birthday of the Zhenguan Emperor, the great emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"In compliance with the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we are holding a ceremony to celebrate the Emperor's fiftieth birthday."

"Guests are invited to gather together."

"Celebrating the Emperor's birthday."

Chen Shubao walked to the middle of the stairs and spoke to all the guests in the square.

The voice fell.

All the guests said in unison: "Congratulations to the Emperor on his fiftieth birthday. May the Emperor be blessed with great fortune and a long life."

"May the emperor have great fortune and a long life."

……

Waves of loud shouts of congratulations echoed throughout the square.

Listening to the voices of congratulations.

Li Shimin's face was also full of smiles.

Since he ascended the throne, Li Shimin had never celebrated his birthday in such a lavish manner. What he wanted all his life was for all the people in the world to live a good life and for him to establish his mission for the people.

In the past, when he celebrated his birthday, he would spend it with his queen, concubines, and royal sons. He had never experienced anything like this before.

"My whole life."

"I have been in the military for half my life and have seen the people suffer a lot."

"So I don't like to enjoy myself, and I don't like extravagance and waste."

"What I want is peace in the world, no more wars, and all the people in the world to be able to have enough food."

"for this."

"I am willing to give everything."

There was a sense of narration in Li Shimin's tone.

Hear this.

Countless guests in the square couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

"But fortunately, God has a good heart. At my age, my son has returned."

"After I heard the news, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep for several days. For me, this is like regaining what I had lost."

"My prince is in a coma, but my son Li Zheng is back. I have someone to rely on again."

"And my son Li Zheng has not let me down. His abilities are obvious to all the people of the world."

"He expanded the territory for the Tang Dynasty and laid the foundation for the people's livelihood. I am blessed to have this prince." "So this time he wants to celebrate my 50th birthday. I have no objection. I am very happy."

Li Shimin turned his head and looked at Li Zheng with a smile on his face.

"My father has never held a birthday party in his life. Today I am responding to the call of the people." Li Zheng said with a smile.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is absolutely right."

"Your Majesty founded the Tang Dynasty and brought peace to the world. Your contributions are immense."

"We respect you."

All the guests shouted in unison.

No one objected to Li Shimin's birthday celebration, not because they didn't dare, but because Li Shimin deserved it.

"My son is filial, so I naturally cannot disappoint him. However, my son is too good at keeping us in suspense."

"A few years ago, he said that he would give me a big gift on my 50th birthday, but until today, he still hasn't told me what the gift is," Li Shimin said in a mischievous tone.

Hear this.

The guests in the square couldn't help laughing.

It is really a joke to think that Li Shimin was kept in suspense for several years and still didn't know what his son was going to give. And Li Zheng was too good at hiding things.

"Li Zheng."

"Now you can tell me what you want."

"I like everything as long as it's given by you." Li Shimin looked at Li Zheng with a smile.

Li Zheng did not sell his perception, walked out and said with a smile: "I have already prepared it for my father."

Hear the sound.

All the guests in the Taiji Hall Square looked at Li Zheng.

The guests who came to attend the birthday party prepared birthday gifts that represented their thoughts and expressed their abilities.

They were also very curious about what kind of gift the current Crown Prince would prepare for the Emperor, and it was a gift that would last for several years.

Don't say it's them.

Even Li Shimin's eyes were completely on Li Zheng at this moment, full of curiosity and expectation.

Under the spotlight.

Li Zheng took out a box from his arms and handed it to Li Shimin with both hands.

"What is this?" Li Shimin took the box and asked curiously.

"Open it and take a look." Li Zheng smiled slightly.

Li Shimin opened the box, and inside were two pills. The moment the box was opened, the fragrance of the pills hit Li Shimin's nose.

"What kind of elixir is this?"

"The effect should be good." Li Shimin closed the lid and asked expectantly.

He was well aware of his son's ability in refining elixirs.

Even smallpox, which no one had been able to cure throughout the ages, could be cured by the elixir refined by his own son, and he had also tried many other elixirs, which were indeed of superior quality and extraordinary.

"This is a life-extending pill. One pill can extend your life by ten years."

"A person can only take two pills in his lifetime, which can extend his life by twenty years." Li Zheng smiled and said.

Hear this explanation.

Li Shimin's face suddenly showed a look of shock, and he looked at Li Zheng in disbelief. Originally, he only held the pill in one hand, but now he held the pill box directly in his palms with both hands.

And above the Taiji Hall Square.

All the guests looked at Li Zheng in shock.

Many ministers who were nearly 70 years old also had longing in their eyes.

If an ordinary person possessed this kind of elixir, he would be guilty of possessing a treasure and would definitely not have a good ending.

Prolong life.

Who in the world can refuse?

For ordinary poor people, living long may be a torture, but for rich and powerful people, prolonging their life is their greatest desire.

Especially for the emperor, immortality has always been the pursuit.

However, as a wise emperor, Li Shimin did not seek immortality. He had experienced too many life and death experiences and knew that death was inevitable. Moreover, all dynasties had also shown that there was no such thing as immortality.

So he didn't pay any attention to it.

And today.

His son actually gave him a pill that could extend his life by twenty years.

At this moment.

Li Shimin finally understood why this was considered a great gift. It was something that could not be measured by money at all.
