Half a month later, Lou Shide led an army of 20,000 to return triumphantly, and Wu Zetian specially decreed that a grand entry ceremony would be held for the meritorious soldiers who returned triumphantly this time, and their military exploits were rewarded with great glory.

These 20,000 people are the meritorious soldiers selected by Lou Shide from various armies, all the way to the flag, the armor is distinct, the momentum is huge, this is also the first large-scale army since Wu Zetian ascended the throne into the city.

When the triumphant army arrived in Luoyang, the news immediately spread throughout the city, and suddenly the city was boiling, countless people helped the old and the young out of the city to greet them, and the streets were crowded with people, and the south city of Luoyang almost fell out of the city.

At noon, when the triumphant army in bright armor entered the Dingding Tianmen, the Tianjie was completely boiling, more than 300,000 Luoyang people crowded on both sides of the Tianjie, stretching for ten miles, the people beat gongs and drums, shouting and shaking the sky, everywhere were excited faces, the Khitan battle was a big victory, which means that Hebei is safe, Datang is safe.

When a group of mighty soldiers walked in front of them, the atmosphere was so enthusiastic that the crowd waved and cheered, shouting like thunder, "Datang Heroes!"

Walking in the front was Wu Yizong and five hundred guards soldiers, Lou Shide gave him this glory, but the people of Luoyang obviously did not buy his account, and when he walked by, almost no one paid attention to him, but gave great glory to the army behind him.

Wu Yizong's face was extremely gloomy, what kind of glory was this, it was clearly a humiliation for him, Wu Yizong secretly hated Lou Shide, and couldn't help gritting his teeth.

They were followed by two thousand internal guards and a thousand cavalry battalion soldiers led by Li Zhen, all of whom were smiling, and some couldn't help but wave to their families in the crowd.

When they walked in front of the crowd, the crowd suddenly thundered with joy, and countless young women jumped up excitedly, throwing ribbons and brocade flowers at them, which was the first hero of the extermination of the Khitan and the hero in their minds.

Tens of thousands of soldiers from each guard were responsible for maintaining order, from Tianmen to Tianjin Bridge, tens of thousands of soldiers held hands, desperately blocking the front of the people, Lou Shide rode in the middle of the team, accompanied by Di Renjie, Zong Chuke and other more than a dozen high-ranking officials who greeted him ten miles away.

He smiled and waved to the crowd from time to time, and he was extremely complacent, and at this moment, he also reached a glorious apex of his life.

At this time, the procession gradually arrived in front of the Tianjin Bridge, and Wu Zetian personally led hundreds of civil and military officials and relatives of the imperial family to wait for their triumph here, and the team stopped far away.

Lou Shide and dozens of generals urged the horses out of the ranks, and when there were still dozens of steps, they turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to Wu Zetian together, knelt down on one knee, and Lou Shide said loudly: "Minister Lou Shide, see Your Majesty the Emperor!"

The generals shouted in unison: "Ministers see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!"

Wu Zetian hurriedly helped Lou Shide up, and said with a pleased smile: "Xiangguo is worthy of being my minister, I didn't see the wrong person, Xiangguo lived up to my hopes, recovered Youzhou for me, pacified Liaodong, Xiangguo is credited to me, and it is credited to Sheji!"

"It is the duty of a minister to share worries for His Majesty, and His Majesty does not need to praise it. ”

Saying that, Lou Shide pointed to the generals and said to Wu Zetian: "This time to quell the Khitan Rebellion, it was the generals who used their lives, and they made a great achievement." ”

"I understand!"

Wu Zetian stepped forward with a smile and looked around, she saw Wu Yizong, her eyes were cold, and she glanced at him coldly, but her gaze finally fell on Li Zhen, and a smile suddenly bloomed on her face, "General Li did not disappoint me, I must be rewarded heavily!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wu Zetian turned around and smiled at Di Renjie again: "Ling Ai should also come back!"

Wu Zetian's words were somewhat ridiculous, and Di Renjie smiled bitterly, "Back to Your Majesty, she has returned safely." ”

Wu Zetian nodded, and said earnestly: "I sent General Li out and delayed Xiangguo's marriage for nearly half a year, but fortunately, there are heroes among women, and I also admire the performance of love, and I also want to show her something." ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern for the little girl. ”

Wu Zetian nodded, turned back to the generals and said loudly: "All the generals are heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and I want to reward you well." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wu Zetian boarded the dragon chariot and smiled at Li Zhen: "General Li, you have made the first contribution to me, and I specially allow you to share a car with me to show your glory!"

In the envious eyes of everyone, Li Zhen boarded the dragon chariot and stood high beside Wu Zetian, and the applause in front of the Tianjin Bridge was like thunder, and the soldiers broke out into cheers.

But Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi's brothers, who were standing on the side, were jealous in their eyes, they had never had such glory.

Wu Sansi slowly walked to their brother's side, and seemed to be talking to himself and smiled: "Shengshang has always liked Li Zhen very much, and it seems that he is going to be favored again." ”

The Zhang brothers glanced back at Wu Sansi, the two of them snorted heavily, flicked their sleeves, and rushed away angrily, but Wu Sansi smiled and squinted, although he got the favor of the saint, he made himself a strong rival, is the glory of being in the same car with the emperor really so easy to bear?

Just when the grand triumphal entrance ceremony was held in Tianjie, the mansion of Wu Chenghei of Luoyang Jishanfang was very quiet, and it seemed that it was not affected by the slightest entrance to the city.

After the New Year, with the withdrawal of the last group of guards and eunuchs who monitored Wu Chengsi, the house arrest for Wu Chengsi has existed in name only, after all, it is Wu Zetian's nephew, and Wu Zetian does not want to punish Wu Chengsi too harshly, Wu Chengsi has actually completely regained his freedom.

However, Wu Chengsi's health was still very bad, and when he was in Guangzhou, he was too indulgent in alcohol, so that his body completely collapsed, and he rarely went out, and spent most of his time in his room to recuperate.

In the room, Wu Chengsi was half lying on the soft couch, two pretty little maids gently beat him on the shoulders and back, one of the little maids was flushed, and her teeth were biting her lips, Wu Chengsi was so comfortable that she half-squinted, but her hand reached into the maid's skirt and groped, while his daughter Wu Furong stood aside a little embarrassed, pretending not to see her father's outrageous behavior.

"Back to my father, there are indeed rumors that Wu Sansi accepted a bribe from the Khitans, and only then secretly sent someone to poison Li Quanzhong, and someone saw Yi Yu unjustly enter Wu Sansi's mansion with their own eyes, just two days before Li Quanzhong's death. ”

Wu Chengsi stopped harassing the maid, he was obviously attracted to the topic of his daughter, he had suffered too much torture this year, although there were many people who dealt with him, Wu Chengsi focused his hatred on Wu Sansi.

Although they are uncles and brothers, in order to inherit the throne of the imperial aunt, Wu Sansi killed himself again and again, which made Wu Chengsi have an unforgettable hatred for Wu Sansi.

Wu Chengsi waved his hand, and the two little maids hurriedly retreated, and Wu Chengsi said coldly: "What's the use of saying this, and there is no evidence, as long as he says that there is no such thing, who can do anything to him?"

"Although the Holy One will not punish him, we can spread the charges and make him bear the reputation of colluding with other races. ”

"It's just too cheap for him. ”

Wu Chengsi snorted dissatisfiedly, acquiescing to his daughter's plan, and he asked again, "How is Zhang Changzong's matter?"

Zhang Changzong was Wu Chenghe's polo player, and he was also Wu Furong's lover, and was given to Princess Taiping by Wu Furong, but he didn't expect him to become the face of the saint, which really surprised Wu Chenghe, and at the same time he was also dissatisfied with his daughter giving Zhang Changzong to Princess Taiping without authorization, if Zhang Changzong was his person, then he would be able to re-embark on his career.

Wu Furong's face was a little hot, she understood her father's dissatisfaction with her in this matter, but she didn't expect that Zhang Changzong would be so popular, fortunately, there was still a little old love between her and Zhang Changzong, and there was still a little room for redemption.

"Father, I've got in touch with him. ”

"What did he say?" Wu Chengsi asked anxiously.

He said. He won't forget his father's kindness to him, but-" Wu Furong hesitated a little and couldn't say any more.

"But what?"

Wu Chengsi banged on the bed and said hatefully: "You are in a hurry to kill me, say it quickly!"

Wu Furong had no choice but to say: "He said that he wanted to buy a few shops recently, but he was a little nervous about money, and he hoped that his father could help him." ”

Wu Chengsi was stunned for a moment, Zhang Changzong clearly asked him for money, and he was not subtle at all, he wanted it so directly, but Wu Chengsi thought about it again, if he wanted Zhang Changzong to help him, how could he do it without some blood.

Wu Chengsi pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, first give him the rice shop in the West Market, and you tell him that if the Holy Lord is tolerant of me, I will thank him heavily." ”

After the grand banquet and celebration of the imperial city, it was almost dark, Li Zhen left the imperial city and returned to his house.

Li Zhen was surprised in his heart, but he was very moved, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and thanked everyone, at this time, Li Quan greeted him with a smile on his face, "Ah Zhen, you are finally back." ”

"Sister, you're not in Chang'an?"

"Hey, I rushed back when I received your letter, and I arrived yesterday morning. ”

Zhao Qiuniang walked up slowly and said with a smile: "We voluntarily welcome the general back and congratulate the general on his new achievements." ”

"Thank you!"

Li Zhen hugged his fists to everyone again and said, "Thank you, fathers and fellow villagers. ”

In a burst of laughter, everyone slowly dispersed, and each went home, Li Quan took his brother's arm, laughed in a low voice and asked him, "What kind of official title did you make?"

"The official has not changed for the time being, but the reward is 5,000 yuan. ”

Li Quan is not short of money, she is not very interested in rewarding money, she is more concerned about whether her brother can be promoted, it is best to upgrade the title to another level, now she is a county marquis, if she is promoted to a county duke again, it will be the best, but Zhao Qiuniang also told her that it is easier to be promoted to a county marquis, but it is difficult to be promoted to a duke again, besides, there is a county duke above the county duke, and there is a national duke above the county duke, it is impossible for the saint to promote Li Zhen so quickly, and it is possible to be a knight and a dispersion official.

Now that she heard that there has been no change in the official title for the time being, Li Quan was a little disappointed in her heart, but after thinking about it, the addition of the official was not so fast, she let go of her heart again, she took her brother to the inner hall to sit down, poured him another cup of hot tea, and then said with a smile: "I talked to Mrs. Di again yesterday, about your marriage, they don't want to drag it out any longer, I hope the sooner the better." ”

Li Zhen remembered that Di Renjie never spoke to him at the banquet in the imperial court today, of course Li Zhen knew the reason, it was because he did not persuade Di Yan to come back, Di Renjie was obviously a little angry with himself, he smiled bitterly and asked, "When is that fixed?"

"It's set on the fifth day of the next month, that is, ten days later. ”

As soon as Li Quan finished speaking, he saw a maid appear in the hall, who was probing his head to look this way, and Li Quan asked, "Xiaolu, what's the matter?"

The maid glanced at Li Zhen and said timidly: "Mrs. Qiyu, there is a guest outside, saying that he is looking for a son with something important." ”
