Li Er looked at Li Chong.

Let the daughter of the Guogong Mansion be his concubine, and the current Li Chong should be said to be not His Majesty, but he is better than His Majesty.

Merely...... It doesn't matter, after all, he is never stingy with meritorious officials.

Afterwards......

In only two and a half days, the news of the defeat of Tibet spread throughout the court.

This foreign war cannot be described as an unsuccessful operation.

Of course, this first merit is Li Chong!

Li Er asked Li what reward he wanted.

Li Chong asked the Wu family to be his concubine, hoping that His Majesty could act as a matchmaker.

One can imagine the reaction of everyone in the court at that time.

But I don't have to say it.

In the past, it was rumored that Li Chong liked beautiful women, but now they finally believe it.

As for the Wu family......

His Majesty said that it was a matchmaker, but in fact, it was equivalent to giving an order.

Can you say yes or not?

So much so that some people speculated that the princess was infertile?

In a word......

No matter what, the Wu family was finally remarried by Li Chong.

Night.

Li Chong didn't do anything with her.

Just looked at her quietly.

She also looked at Li Chong.

Then Li Zhong said to sleep.

Anyway......

Wu certainly didn't understand.

……

And marrying the Wu family back, the biggest change in attitude towards Li Chong is naturally the slave maid of the princess's mansion.

Li Chong didn't expect that one day he would have to take into account the feelings of these slaves.

Originally, Li Chong wanted to ask for another house to house the Wu family.

Because everyone else has their own circle, throwing the Wu clan into it is equivalent to throwing a stone into a calm lake.

The ripples produced by this oscillation must have had some effect on the lake.

However, Li Lizhi had to show her generosity, saying that the Wu family could live in the princess's mansion.

Then Li Zhong can only say, then try it first.

So......

When all the slaves and maids of the princess's mansion saw him, their eyes changed.

After all......

He was the first in Datang to marry a princess and take a concubine.

Take your time!

This run-in always takes a little time.

End of July.

Songtsen Gampo was escorted to Chang'an.

Li Chong also went to see it.

After all......

This celebration banquet still needs to be attended.

came back together, as well as Su Dingfang, Li Chunfeng, Li Jing, and Niu Jinda.

Li Er rewarded all four of them.

The greatest military merits are naturally Su Dingfang and Li Chunfeng, followed by Niu Jinda, Han Wei, and finally Li Jing.

Since Li Jing didn't do anything at all, he rewarded 2,000 paragraphs, and it was for the sake of his two years in Shanzhou Tuntiantun, which was fruitful.

Otherwise, it would definitely not be as many as 2,000 paragraphs.

At most, it's only a few hundred.

The other soldiers also received a lot of cattle and sheep as rewards.

Except for Li Jing, almost everyone was promoted.

And since it is a celebration banquet, of course, you must drink and brag about how this battle was won.

For this reason, the name of the artillery also appeared in the ears of the Tang Dynasty ministers for the first time.

Of course!

This victory did not only depend on the power of artillery.

In fact......

What's more important is the tactical victory, and because the preparation is very sufficient, if you really want to say it, Li Chong has a lot of credit.

When Li Chunfeng saw the reward, he didn't seem to have read Bachelor Li's name, so he also stood up and asked for credit for Li Chong.

Su Dingfang also stood up and said his tactics,

In fact, there is also Li Chong's credit, after all, Li Chong said a general idea at the beginning, he is just the one who executes and perfects this tactic.

Li Chong could only tell them not to make trouble, after all......

Does His Majesty know whether he has any merit or not, and how much merit he has? Your Majesty had already rewarded me long before you returned.

The two of them sat down.

The next day......

Li Er also visited the artillery firing alone.

This thing, if you are lucky, can penetrate a column of more than a dozen rows with one shot.

It is precisely because of this thing that Su Dingfang can not only hold the key pass with a very small number of troops, but even push forward step by step, forcing the enemy into a dead end.

Li Er saw this thing and touched it with his hand.

I thought, why didn't Li Chong take it out in the first place?

This guy may have a lot of things hidden.

Did he want to be like Wei Zheng?

There were a lot of people here, so Li Er didn't question him on the spot.

However, after this fact, one must be asked.

So......

Since ancient times, emperors have been the same.

But Li Chong has already seen it.

If Li Er didn't ask him like this, he would feel that Li Er was abnormal, and maybe he would have quietly started to mess with him.

Followed by......

Li Chong gave him an analysis one by one, why didn't he come to Datang, and immediately told him this.

First!

He didn't do it either, and he only knew theory until this thing was made.

After all, after a thousand years, the common people do not have to go to war, and there are professional soldiers to fight.

These soldiers were recruited through recruitment.

Second!

Artillery is a double-edged sword, and the news of artillery cannot be concealed for a long time, and it may be tens or a hundred years at most, and maybe others will know about it.

When the time comes......

Even if the soldiers on both sides are bombarded, the war will become more intense, and more people will die.

Of course! In fact, this is groundless, but Li Chong himself thinks so.

So, if he doesn't take it out, it's because he doesn't want to add too many kills.

Note!

These are all Li Chong's own thoughts, and there is no factual basis.

So why is he willing to do it now?

First!

The most direct thing is that he doesn't want Tubo to make peace with the Tang Dynasty.

The use of artillery can increase the chances of winning this war.

Second!

He probably won't live long, after all, he's thirty-two years old now, and he'll have to think about it for the whole nation.

Do you know that in later generations, why will China be bullied by the Eight-Nation Alliance, or even a small Japanese state?

It's because they don't pay enough attention to firearms.

Of course! There are many reasons why China has become like that, and it's not just about firearms.

All I can say is......

If you can contribute, let's contribute.

As for whether he has considered His Majesty at all......

To be honest, Li Zhong didn't have it at all.

In his heart, the first is the people of the Tang Dynasty, the second is the princess of Heqin, and Li Er can't even count as the third, because there is no third at all.

In the face of Li Chong's outspokenness, Li Er could only say, "The rewards I have given you over the years have been in vain."

"You're a man of no eyes!" Even Li Er had to smile bitterly, looked at Li Chong, and said so.

Li Chong said, "When you are in trouble, when will I not solve it for you? When the time comes, when you die, I will be buried with you at the same time and in the same place."

Li Chong said this very easily.

After that, he said, "I just don't know if the other ministers agree or not. I am

Say, "I'll bury you with you, and put another coffin next to the coffin." Then the tomb should be dug up a little bigger."

Li Er stared at him.

Somewhat speechless.

Li Zhong finally said, "Of course! I have to ask the queen about this, and she agrees or not. After all, if I'm not mistaken, you two should be buried in the same cave. If Lizhi also dies, then bury Lizhi with her. The main thing is to stay with me."
