Tonight is the highlight of Li Zhi's life.

Wang Shidang Pinghaidong, the merit of the world, can be recorded in history, Li Zhi, the prestige of the Tang Dynasty Emperor, has reached its peak among the government and the opposition.

The world does not judge heroes by success or failure, but the fact is that those who enjoy cheering and worship are often successful heroes, and those who fail can only be exchanged for a sympathetic sigh from the world.

On the drum tower of Taiji Palace, Li Zhi and Empress Wu stood side by side, and there were a sea of people outside the palace gate, all of whom were Chang'an subjects who rushed to hear the good news.

The huge lantern was raised, and the crowded people saw the Son of Heaven and the Empress standing on the drum tower, and the crowd suddenly fell silent, and then everyone knelt down facing Li Zhi and Empress Wu.

Looking at the dark crowd under the palace building, Li Zhi's mood couldn't help but be agitated, and the rhythm of his breathing also accelerated, with tears in his eyes, he tried to squeeze out a smile and waved his hand at the crowd.

Outside the quiet palace walls, I don't know who suddenly roared.

"Datang Wansheng!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

The crowd roared, and tens of thousands of people looked at the thin but firm body on the drum tower at the same time, and people seemed to know this son of heaven today.

He is no longer the son of Emperor Taizong, he is him, when today's son Li Zhi is powerful all over the world, and he is blue.

The glory of the Tang Dynasty did not disappear with the passing of Emperor Taizong, but carried on the past and forged ahead into the future, and each generation became stronger than the next.

In the cheers like a landslide, Li Zhi had already burst into tears, his lips trembled, he raised his hand high, and muttered in a choked voice: "Datang...... Wansheng! ”

…………

The years are long, and I live the bitterness and happiness of the world.

More than two months have passed, and in this quiet and tranquil day, Li Qinzai has not only accompanied Jinxiang and his wife and children at home, but also continued to teach and educate people and teach lessons to those little bastards.

The days are still as leisurely as usual, and Li Qinzai will not learn to do his best in this life, and he will die.

Whether it is government and state affairs, or private affairs of the house, if you encounter it, you will deal with it easily, and you will not fight for it if you don't encounter it.

Those who chase power are blinded to their minds, and the greater the power, the more they have to desperately chase greater power, but they have never thought that when a person's power is so great that the emperor doesn't know how to reward you, he has to give you a glass of wine, three feet of white silk.

Li Qinzai felt that his current status and power were just right, he didn't take too much responsibility, and he wouldn't make people jealous, and occasionally participated in the court meeting, like an idle street slicker, fooling around, and when the time came, he gladly received the money given by the court.

It is not enough to receive the Yulu, as long as the skin is thick enough, and he can bargain with the household officials calmly and fearlessly, and he pours bitter water and says that the Yulu is too little, not enough to support the family, if the dignified county prince takes the whole family to the street to ask for food, I am afraid that the court is not so decent.

The little days are dull, and occasionally there is a little fun.

As long as you are not blinded by excessive ambition, in fact, life is very good, settle down and watch the flowers bloom, spring goes to autumn, the spring breeze crosses, and the ice and snow melt.

Two months later, Li Qinzai left his wife and children for the time being, led a team of troops to leave Chang'an City, and went straight to Luoyang.

It is now the middle of winter, and the city of Luoyang is covered with snow and covered in silver.

Li Qinzai and his subordinates rode horses and stood quietly outside the Luoyang City Gate, everyone waited for a long time, and thick snow had accumulated on their shoulders.

Two hours later, Li Qinzai finally noticed a cavalry team slowly walking in the distance outside the city.

The cavalry consisted of several hundred, all wearing armor and helmets, and holding halberds and horizontal swords and iron shields.

They walked silently in the snow, but they exuded a strong sense of slaughter, which made the passers-by on the road awe and avoid.

Passers-by don't know the origin of this cavalry, but they can perceive from their momentum that this is a Tang cavalry that has seen blood and killed people, and the smell of rust is the bloody gas brought from the battlefield.

After discovering the cavalry, Li Qinzai was immediately overjoyed, and even hit his horse to meet him.

galloped all the way and soon came to the front of the cavalry.

The knights of the cavalry saw Li Qinzai from afar, so they hurriedly dismounted and stood up, and hugged their fists at Li Qinzai together: "Meet the fifth young man." ”

Li Qinzai also turned over and dismounted to return the salute: "Brothers have worked hard all the way, Datang Wansheng!" ”

"Datang Wansheng!"

This cavalry team that came from afar was the Li family's personal guard, a veteran who closely protected Li Tao all year round.

In the middle of the cavalry, Li Tao, who was still wearing armor, was looking at him with a smile on his beard.

Li Qinzai's gaze touched him, and after a glance, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and Li Tao is much older.

His hair and beard were all white, mixed with the snow on his face and shoulders, his cheeks were more and more vicissitudes, his expression was full of exhaustion, only a pair of eyes still sparkled, as if they could penetrate the fog of the world and pierce the depths of the soul.

"Grandpa—" Li Qinzai just screamed, and he was so choked up that he couldn't speak.

Li Tao was very happy to see him, turned over and dismounted with a slightly sluggish movement, strode in front of Li Qinzai, patted him on the shoulder, and was happy with anger: "Bastard boy, the old man was ordered to return to Beijing, but you ran to Luoyang to meet me, the weather is cold, and you are not afraid of catching a cold!" ”

Li Qinzai sniffed and said with a smile: "My grandson originally planned to go to Dengzhou to meet you, but it was too cold, and with my grandson's filial piety, it was enough to welcome you to Luoyang at most." ”

Li Tao laughed: "Bastard things are still so annoying to talk about." Come, let the old man see, I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and there are changes in my Li family's unicorn. ”

Li Qinzai stood up straight, and at the same time looked at Li Tao.

Seeing that Li Tao's figure is obviously rickety, in the two years of the Eastern Crusade, Li Tao seems to be more than ten years old, and he is obviously in his early seventies, but he looks like an old man with little time.

The thin body stood in the snow, with a bearskin draped over his shoulders, but his body was a little cold, and his shoulders trembled slightly.

Li Qinzai held his hand distressedly, Li Tao's hands were as rough as tree bark, the green tendons on his hands bulged out, and there was a twilight smell unique to old people.

With a long sigh, Li Qinzai said distressedly: "Grandpa, after a long time, I was a majestic chief when I first set out on the expedition, but now I have returned triumphantly, but I am frozen like a grandson......"

Li Tao was stunned for a moment, then became furious, raised his foot and kicked him staggering.

"If you can't speak, don't speak! If it weren't for you coming all the way to welcome the old man, I would have given you a meal when we met today! Bastard, go, get on the horse and go into the city, find a place to warm up. ”

After a short conversation in the snow outside the city, the grandfather and grandson led their subordinates into Luoyang City.

For the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty, Li Qinzai is still the second time to come, and now Luoyang is also very prosperous, with a population of nearly one million, and the neighborhoods in the city imitate the pattern of Chang'an City, regardless of location or layout, they are quite similar to Chang'an City.

This cavalry team full of murderous spirit entered the city and quickly attracted the attention of the defenders of the city.

After the battalion general stepped forward to inquire, he was surprised to learn that it was the British prince.

Half an hour later, Luoyang Taishou, Changshi, Dongtai Shizhong, Shou General and other officials hurriedly rushed to the pavilion to meet Li Tao.
