Chapter 340: The Pillar of the Nation

Li Xian did not pay much attention to the impact of Li Xian's rapid suppression of the rebellion, he ordered Liu Youqiu, Zhang Wei, Liu Fei and others to lead tens of thousands of cavalry to support Xue Rengui, and ordered Zhang Deyu to transport the grain and grass of the intercepted Khitan and Sumo to Xue Rengui's army, and at the same time wrote a letter to Xue Rengui, explaining some of the situation, and at the same time left enough manpower for Guo Yuanzhen, and then led the remaining nearly 100,000 horses back to Luoyang. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In fact, Li Xian can take advantage of the situation, cooperate with Xue Rengui, and return to Luoyang with the newly enthroned Jin Zhengming, but on the one hand, Li Xian takes into account the emptiness of the imperial court, and it is not good if he is absent for a long time, especially Gaozong is seriously ill, and he may die when he will die, as a son of man, he naturally has to be filial piety in front of the bed, not to mention that his younger brother Li Dan is now also urgently transferred back from the front line by Empress Wu, which of course also has the intention of letting Li Dan be filial piety in front of the bed, but naturally there are other deep meanings.

And Li Xian was naturally very clear about Empress Wu's intentions, so he had to return urgently, on the one hand, to block the mouths of others, and on the other hand, to stop Empress Wu's plot.

Because Li Xian's heart was impatient, and because the soldiers won a great victory and their morale was high, the speed of the march was very fast, and it only took half a month for the vanguard led by Li Xian to arrive in Luoyang.

In order to gain the sympathy of the government and the opposition, this time Li Xian entered the city in a high-profile manner, and he had already sent someone to inform the court of the time of his return to Luoyang in advance.

In this way, the procession to greet Li Xian was naturally crowded, and many people spontaneously beat gongs and drums to greet their wise and martial His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Hehe, this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince broke the Khitan and Su Mo, quelled the northern rebellion with a thunderous momentum, showed the majesty of my Tang Dynasty, and taught the arrogance of those who dared to thieves a hard lesson, which is really happy."

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and martial, people can't help but think of Emperor Taizongwen, this is the blessing of my Tang Dynasty, for so many years, we have endured many abuses from the Khitan and other northern Xinjiang departments, and today we finally raised our eyebrows and breathed this breath for the people of my Tang Dynasty."

"That's right, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said when facing Li Duan was very right, why can the Khitans kill my Tang soldiers and people, but my Tang people can't kill those Khitan captives? They are Khitan people, so I, the Tang people, am not people? If you let the murderers of my Datang soldiers and civilians go unchecked, what is the use of my Datang no matter how strong and prosperous my Datang is? Hehe, it's really rare to see someone like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who protects my people in the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Hehe, this is also the wisdom of my Tang Prince, since I have His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this time, I believe that in the future, the people of my Tang Dynasty, especially these businessmen such as me, even if they go overseas, will never dare that anyone will be bullied, what a great favor for us?"

……

Countless people looked into the distance with reverence, and constantly praised Li Xian in various ways, praising Li Xian's immortal achievements and protecting the people, but no one objected to Li Xian's killing of Khitan prisoners.

This is the will of the people, and the people can truly feel that whoever is good to them, who is not good to them, and those who are good to them, they will naturally wholeheartedly support them.

Just like Li Xian, even though he killed countless prisoners, but it was out of the original intention of safeguarding the dignity of the people and the Tang Dynasty, so it was understood by those people, and no one questioned it at all.

After a while, I suddenly saw the smoke and dust in front of me, and the people in front saw that in the smoke and dust, countless soldiers and horses came quickly, and the first one was dressed in silver armor, and the fiery red war horse under the crotch, full of heroic face, it was the hero they had been looking forward to for a long time, the protagonist of this welcome ceremony, the crown prince Li Xian!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." The sharp-eyed man immediately shouted loudly, the excitement on his face not concealed in the slightest.

After hearing this, all the people rushed forward desperately, wanting to see the figure of the great hero of the empire, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, whom they respected the most, for the first time.

"The people of Lao came to greet you, and this palace deserves it." Li Xian bowed to everyone who came to greet him and said loudly.

"What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was ordered to be in danger, in just over four months, he annihilated more than 200,000 enemies, completely swept away the rebellion that threatened China's northern Xinjiang for more than a year, and avoided more people from falling into the flames of war. As for the words that are deserved, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not need to be so, if even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ashamed of it, how many people in this world can not be deserved? ”

An old man with a white beard trembled his beard and said loudly, his eyes full of reverence.

The other people around also echoed and praised the old man for being very correct.

Li Xian said solemnly: "Although I have made a lot of merit in this matter, but if I say that I have contributed to this battle, it should be those soldiers who fought to the death for the country, after this battle, how many warriors stained the battlefield with blood, and can no longer go back to their homeland to take a look, these people are the real heroes of my Tang Dynasty, although we won the war in exchange for the peace of the world, but we can't forget those heroes who shed their blood in exchange for our peace!" ”

Li Xian said this, all the people did not object, they were also silent, only to see that the old man also said with tears on his face: "Don't hide it from His Royal Highness the Prince, in this battle, the young son of the little old man was in the army, besieging Li Quanzhong's battle, and died in order to cover his comrades, although the dog died, but hearing His Royal Highness the Prince's words, the little old man was also pleased for the dead dog, His Royal Highness the Prince did not forget those who died in the war, Datang did not forget those who died, they died in order to protect the peace of my Datang Sheji, It's worth it. ”

After the old man said this, all the people around him paid their sincere respect to him, Li Xian was no exception, he hurriedly held the old man's hand, and said movingly: "Old man, your words show your fierce loyalty to my Datang, but Ling Lang's death is really a pity, please rest assured that the old man, I will never forget them, not only that, but I will never allow the families of those heroes to be treated unfairly, I will ask my father to ask for more generous compensation for the families of all the victims of the country, Heroes must not be left uneasy! ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince's words, Xiao Lao'er believes that it's just that in the past few years, His Royal Highness the Prince's treatment of military households has been improved enough, and there is no need to raise it again, otherwise, I don't know how much more taxes will be paid by the people, and for the sake of his own selfishness, he will take the benefits of others, and Xiao Lao'er can't bear it."

"Hehe, old man, you are so kind-hearted, it is really a blessing for my Datang, please rest assured that the old man will not raise taxes, but only use the property saved in my palace to compensate those who died." Li Xian looked at the old man and said softly. (To be continued.) )
