Datang: Integrate three times the combat power of Lv Bu at the beginning

After a while, Li Shimin said: "Okay, dear friends, you should leave the court if you have nothing else to report. When the expeditionary army returns, I will hold a banquet and reward them well."

Under the voice of the eunuch Chen Lin, the court retreated, and all civil and military officials withdrew from the court one after another.

Although there were some small quarrels, it did not affect their joy.

After all, Li Chengqian still fought such a big victory for Datang.

As a result, Datang began to slowly embark on the road to rise.

A few more days passed.

The warship of the White Robe Army finally docked at Yongtongqu Wharf in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an City.

The wind howled, and it began to rain.

Li Chengqian led his troops off the ship, took the ashes of the soldiers who died in the expeditionary army, and went straight to the Hall of Heroes in Chang'an City.

"Your Highness, don't we enter the city first?" Su Dingfang asked Li Chengqian from the side.

After winning a battle, it is the rule to go to the city to face the saint. He is always worried that Li Chengqian will give others a handle after winning a battle.

"No need." Li Chengqian said calmly against the drizzle: "Let's send these brothers home first."

In his heart, military exploits, honors, rewards, etc., are all fleeting.

Without these soldiers who silently contributed to Datang, it would be impossible for him to make great achievements, and it would be impossible for Datang to become stronger and stronger.

Su Dingfang listened and didn't try to persuade him too much. He understood Li Chengqian's temper.

Chang'an City...

In front of the palace...

Li Shimin is waiting here for Li Chengqian's triumph with all the civil and military officials.

But it has been an hour since Li Chengqian got off the boat, but there is still no sign of him.

This displeased Li Shimin who had been waiting for a long time. He thought that Li Chengqian was deliberately putting on airs because of his great achievements.

Li Shimin turned his head displeased and said: "Liu Renyuan, you send someone to see what's going on. I've been waiting here for a full hour."

"It's Your Majesty, the last general will go here." Liu Renyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

As long as Li Shimin calls him by his full name, it means that Long Yan will be furious.

"What's the situation, His Royal Highness is too arrogant..."

"After all, His Royal Highness is too young, and has repeatedly made outstanding achievements, it is understandable to be a little arrogant..."

"It shouldn't be, His Royal Highness shouldn't be a person who is proud of his talents..."

Civil and military officials waited anxiously, whispering.

Li Shimin became even angrier when he heard this.

After all, he is also the king of a country, the lord of the ninth five, if Li Chengqian continues like this, will he be able to pay back?

just for a moment...

Liu Renyuan then ran back and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the reason why His Highness the Crown Prince did not return to the palace is because he personally escorted the ashes of the sacrificed soldiers of the Expeditionary Army to the Hall of Valor."

After the words fell, Li Shimin's frown slightly relaxed.

The surrounding civil and military officials also shut their mouths.

They really did not expect that Li Chengqian delayed his return to the palace because he was escorting the ashes of soldiers who died for the country.

The prince who valued so much love and friendship actually became a person who they said was proud of his talents, which really made them feel ashamed.

Li Jing stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, although His Highness the Crown Prince delayed the time to enter the palace, but because of this matter, it can be regarded as justifiable, so please don't get angry."

Li Jing, who has been a soldier all his life, is also a person who values ​​love and righteousness, and he also values ​​his soldiers very seriously.

Li Chengqian's actions deeply moved him.

After winning a battle, the first thing to do is not to ask for credit, but to remember the soldiers who died.

This is the real way to treat the soldiers as your own brothers.

Li Shimin was also a general, and Li Chengqian's actions moved him a little.

While the emperor has the majesty of the emperor, he must have flesh and blood.

Taking the world as one's own responsibility and loving the people like children are not casual words.

"Let's go, follow me to the Hall of Heroes, and pay homage to these soldiers who are blood-stained in the Tang Dynasty and shrouded in horse leather."

As an emperor through the ages, Li Shimin has his own demeanor, his own bearing, and his own friendship.

Although he is an emperor, who would not want to live with flesh and blood.

In Li Shimin's view, Li Chengqian really did it, living with character, friendship, and flesh and blood.

Chapter 259

Chang'an City...

Hall of Valor...

The surrounding main streets were already overcrowded, and the crowds of onlookers blocked the place completely.

Overcast and rainy, cool breeze blowing.

The onlookers let the drizzle fall on them, but none of them was willing to hold an oil-paper umbrella.

There is no other reason.

Crown Prince Li Chengqian also did not put on an umbrella, and escorted the ashes of the expeditionary soldiers to the Hall of Heroes against the drizzle.

The long street that stretches for several miles is solemn and solemn.

Standing in the courtyard of the Hall of Heroes, Li Chengqian watched as one after another the urns of soldiers who died for the country were brought into the hall.

It is said that if one general succeeds in ten thousand bones, the shroud of horse leather is the best destination for these sacrificed soldiers.

However, throughout the ages, few people can care so much about the soldiers of the three armies.

After the triumphant return, he did not face the saint to ask for merit, but came to the Hall of Valor to pay homage to the sacrificed soldiers.

Such a prince, Li Chengqian is the No.1 throughout the ages.

Wars are never for great achievements, but for future generations not to suffer from wars.

"Your Majesty is here." The eunuch Chen Lin yelled in a drake voice.

Li Shimin led civil and military officials from the gate of the palace all the way to the Hall of Heroes.

The actions of Li Chengqian and Li Shimin made the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty burst into tears.

Throughout their lives as soldiers and horses, they have no fear of life and death, and only want to sacrifice their lives for the country so that they can be worshiped by future generations and understood by the world.

Watching the common people also warmed their hearts.

With such an emperor and such a prince, the Tang Dynasty will surely prosper.

"See Your Majesty."

……

The surrounding Tang army officers and soldiers looked at Li Shimin who walked into the courtyard, and they all cupped their hands.

They didn't expect that Li Shimin could come in person, and he led all the civil and military officials.

"I have seen my father, and I failed to enter the palace in time to pay my respects to my father, so I ask my father to forgive me." Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and said neither humble nor overbearing.

After all, Li Shimin is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, his father, so he still has to give him some face.

"No courtesy." Li Shimin waved his hand.

Immediately afterwards, he continued to Li Chengqian: "Chengqian, you are really outrageous. You didn't even notify me to come to pay homage to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country. Why do you feel that I can't come here?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian said softly: "Father was joking, you are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so there is no reason why you can't come."

He understood that Li Shimin's words were just to feign anger, and more to justify him.

After all, in the hearts of civil and military officials, Li Shimin is the emperor and supreme.

The emperor has the supreme status and is not restricted by any rights.

Compared with Li Shimin, no matter how big the matter is, you have to rely on it.

The two words of father and son dispelled the resentment in Li Shimin's heart.

It also eliminated the grudges in the hearts of civil and military officials.

Together with Li Chengqian, Li Shimin paid homage to the sacrificed soldiers in the courtyard.

At this time, the weather became more and more gloomy, and the rain became heavier and heavier.

Li Shimin said calmly to the eunuch Chen Lin beside him, "Put the umbrella away."

In the huge courtyard, Li Shimin was the only one under the cover of the oil-paper umbrella, looking very abrupt.

"This..." The eunuch Chen Lin stammered and persuaded: "Your Majesty, your legs can't stand the cold, and the cold wind is enough for you. If it rains again, your dragon's body will be damaged." How can you stand it?"

Li Shimin fought all the year round and contracted the root cause of rheumatism.

In addition, the palace where he lives is low-lying, and he refuses to build a palace suitable for him to live in, so the disease cannot be eradicated.

As long as it is cloudy and rainy, his rheumatism will attack, which is very painful.

"Why can't I bear it?" Li Shimin said with a serious face: "I can't bear it? Can the people in this city bear it? Can the soldiers in this city bear it? These soldiers who died for our Tang Dynasty Can you stand it?"

"I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor immediately, what is this little rain?"

Hearing this, the eunuch Chen Lin was also powerless to refute, so she had to silently put away the oil-paper umbrella.

The eyes looking at Li Shimin were full of worry.

Li Chengqian originally wanted to persuade him, but he didn't say much after hearing his decisive words.

After all, only he, the emperor, cared about the people and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

Datang can last forever.

All the civil and military officials and soldiers in the courtyard cast admiring glances after hearing Li Shimin's words.

Near noon, the ashes of the soldiers who died for the country were delivered.

Li Shimin felt unwell and left first.

The civil and military officials also dispersed.

Li Chengqian paid homage again, and then returned to the prince's other courtyard.

After several months of conquest, his body has long been rotten.

Even after washing several times, the strong smell of blood on the body still lingers for a long time.

"His Royal Highness, you are back. You are not here. Our prince's courtyard is very clean." Linger, the servant girl, said while waiting for Li Chengqian to take a bath.

Li Chengqian closed his eyes, enjoying the ultimate relaxation of his body, and said lightly: "What's wrong? Someone bullied you?"

"That's not true..." Ling'er said playfully: "Your Highness, as the crown prince, is a hero of the Tang Dynasty, and you have won such a big victory this time. How can anyone dare to bully us?"

"On the contrary, the empress has come here a few times, complaining that you, as the crown prince, always put yourself at risk."

"Mother coming later?" Li Chengqian asked back.

When he thought about it carefully, he really hadn't greeted Empress Changsun for a while.

Even though he was in Chang'an before, he rarely ran to the Lizheng Hall.

Ling'er replied: "Yes, Your Highness, hurry up and pay your respects to the empress, the empress has been suffering from a cold these few days, and she is coughing badly. I heard that she is coughing up blood."

"So serious?" Li Chengqian got up abruptly, he couldn't take a bath anymore, and hurriedly said: "Bring the clothes, I will go to the Lizheng Hall and give it to the Queen Mother, please go."

"It's Your Highness." Ling'er responded and walked back.

After taking a bath and changing clothes, Li Chengqian left the Prince's Courtyard and headed for the Lizheng Hall.

Only after he went did he realize that the Lizheng Hall was overcrowded.

It was full of imperial physicians and princes and princesses.

Li Shimin was impressively there, with worry on his face.
