Capital

"In the end, it is our Royal Highness Taisun, I heard that there have been heavy losses over there, but after our Royal Highness Taisun's people went, they immediately turned the tide, regardless of whether it was the Turks or Xue Yantuo, when they saw our Royal Highness's army, they were so frightened that they all peed their pants."

On the streets of Chang'an City, the prisoner sacrifice ceremony is going on below, more than 8,000 captives are dressed in rags, they have traveled for a month and a half, and finally came to the capital of the Tang Dynasty, these people have never seen such a prosperous city, but they also have no chance to take a good look at the city, when they raised their heads, the Tang soldiers next to them immediately were a whip.

"I originally thought that King Wu was a man who could fight, but I didn't expect it to fail, but fortunately, the defeat was not very serious, and it was just the right time for our Highness to go down."

The other guy shook his head a little helplessly, the people of Datang all have the same idea, that is, all people can fight, and the people around them will be beaten to the ground, then our Central Plains Dynasty will be safer, I thought that King Wu was also such a person, but I didn't expect it to be defeated.

According to Li Shimin's idea, let King Wu continue to recuperate on the front line, then the news of King Wu's defeat can be blocked, who knew that King Wu was back, but fortunately Li Shimin did not do that, and returned a lot of businessmen from the front line, they would have brought the news back a long time ago, if the emperor lied and was known by the people, then the credibility of the court would have declined.

After Li Shimin learned about the folk rumors, he didn't blame his subordinates for blocking the news, after all, the most difficult thing to prevent is people's mouths, can you still seal people's mouths? Therefore, Li Shimin could only be good at guiding, saying that it was a small setback before the war, and Concubine Yang was seriously ill, so he urgently summoned King Wu to Beijing to serve the sick.

For these details, the ministers can see it very clearly, even if Concubine Yang is seriously ill, it is impossible to find the front-line coach back, and now that the front-line coach is back, can you still not understand what's going on? It must have been that King Wu was not stunned on the front line, which made Li Xiang go over to put out the fire.

The common people don't care much about this, in their opinion, no matter who leads the war, as long as it is won, it will be a good thing for us in Datang, for example, there is so much more land in Goguryeo at once, and there are more than 100,000 people in the entire Datang, so everyone has been allocated dozens or even hundreds of acres of land, and now there are no places for anyone who wants to sign up.

"Why are you so bitter about the food servant, are you not happy that the court has won the battle?"

The two scholars who were talking just now were chatting while drinking, and the little two who served the food drooped their faces, and one of the scholars was immediately dissatisfied.

"The imperial court won the battle, of course I am happy, but this time is different from the last time, the two ministers don't know, when the Goguryeo side wins, we have a lot of land, I also want to go over there to be a landlord, it is better than serving a plate in Chang'an City, but now that I have won the battle against the Turks and Xue Yantuo, I can't change the land, it is not good for me."

The little second brother said apologetically, after listening to the words of the little second brother, the two also knew what was the hottest among the common people recently, that is, to go to Goguryeo to make a fortune, and many people who were at the bottom of Chang'an City, they also wanted to go to Goguryeo to make a fortune.

People move to live, trees move to death, take the little second brother just now, even if he serves a plate for a lifetime in Chang'an City, the best thing to mix in the end is a shopkeeper, it is impossible to live a good life, but if you go to Goguryeo, you will get started with a hundred acres of land, which is equivalent to the life of a small landlord, and directly realize the class leap.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be new policies in the imperial court, have you forgotten Tuyuhun at that time? The imperial court has also recruited a large number of people to go over, as long as you have an adventurous spirit, are you still afraid that you will not have a good life? Those people in the local area are not trustworthy, our court always has to find someone to watch them, you just pay more attention to the imperial list of the imperial court. ”

After listening to the scholar's words, the little second brother's face was immediately happy, what this gentleman said was, how can the imperial court believe those local people, it will definitely let us people go over and watch, although it is a little more dangerous, but it is also a qualitative leap for our days.

"Everyone will go downstairs and greet the Tang Yingling on the side of the road."

Just when the two were about to continue drinking, the people in the yamen shouted loudly on all the roads, this is also the latest rule of the imperial court, whether you are a peddler or a high-ranking official of the imperial court, as long as you hear the news, the horse riding the horse dismounts the sedan chair, and the upstairs must also get downstairs.

According to the latest regulations of the imperial court, all the soldiers of our Datang Dynasty must take back the heroic spirits, and on this day, all people must pay silent mourning on both sides of the road, and if there is any violation, they will be arrested immediately and sentenced to a felony.

After hearing this, the two scholars hurriedly put down the wine glasses and chopsticks, then stood up and sorted out each other's clothes, and followed the others down from the restaurant.

Most of the people in Chang'an City stood on both sides of the road, and some of them were family members of the fallen soldiers, who were already standing here crying in white mourning clothes.

The people around them gave them a detour and when they looked at these people, everyone's hearts spontaneously gave birth to a sense of respect, according to the order of the imperial court, all the families of the war dead were exempt from tax for three years, and the salaries of the original war dead would continue to be paid for three years, and all kinds of conscription would be exempted.

In the past, although the imperial court also had a pension policy, the pension policy was a bit worse than now, which was changed and improved the social treatment of these soldiers in disguise.

In today's era, it is still a good man who is not a soldier and a good iron is not a nail, so for these people in the barracks, the common people generally do not have much respect, and Li Xiang also knows that it can't be changed in a day or two, so we have to change it for them for a long time.

When they saw that some officials really got off the horse and got off the sedan chair, the people nearby knew that this was not a superficial project, but that all the people really respected these heroic souls who opened up territory for the Tang Dynasty.

"Kneeling ......"

With the order of the officials, more than 100,000 people on both sides of the road knelt down to welcome the return of the Tang Dynasty......
