When the good news arrived in Chang'an, the whole city was excited.
This was a rare victory since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and it was a perfect victory. After two years of conquest, the Tang army captured the entire peninsula.
The biggest victory during the Zhenguan period was the northern attack on the Turks. Li Jing cooperated with a group of famous generals of the Tang Dynasty to sweep across Mobei, broke the Turkic royal court, and forced the Turks to flee. They had to migrate from Mobei, and the tribes fled to the west with the Turks.
Persia had a lot of food for its neighbors, so it could barely survive.
During the Zhenguan year, there were many foreign campaigns, and the northern attack on the Turks was considered the most dazzling victory of the Tang Dynasty. It was also the battle for the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
After that battle, the Tang Dynasty finally gained a firm foothold in the Central Plains, and the neighboring countries from all over the world finally realized the power of the Tang Dynasty.
And today, under the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army brought another great victory to the people of the world.
Firstly, Goguryeo, a century-old enemy, was destroyed. Secondly, Silla, a small country that had repeatedly jumped over the bridge, was destroyed again. The Haidong Peninsula was completely included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, the Japanese country had long been turned into puppet cannon fodder. At this point, the east of the Tang Dynasty had
No enemies.
It was obviously evening, and the gates of Chang'an were almost closed. However, as the good news arrived in Beijing, the quiet city boiled like a ladle of cold water poured into a frying pan.
The streets and streets were full of people who heard the news and went out to shout for the great success of the Tang Dynasty. People asked each other about the news and bowed in the direction of Tai Chi Palace.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty really did not look inferior to his father. He had been quiet and unknown for more than ten years after he ascended the throne, but he had accomplished such extraordinary feats in obscurity.
If we only talk about military achievements, the emperor of today seems to be stronger than the late emperor Taizong. After all, Goguryeo, a century-old enemy, fell to the emperor of today.
Of course, the emperor cannot only talk about merit. More than ten years after Li Shimin passed away, countless people in the court and the people still miss Taizong. That is because what Li Shimin brought to the people of the Tang Dynasty was not only the creation of new territories, but more importantly, Li Shimin had unparalleled
His charisma and broad and tolerant mind.
The reason why the barbarians from all over the world were willing to give Li Shimin the title of "Khan of Heaven" was not just because they were intimidated by the military strength of the Tang Dynasty, but because Li Shimin was a very charming emperor.
If you provoke this emperor, he will fight back mercilessly. But after the fight, as long as you admit your mistake in time, he will still treat you as a brother and neighbor. You can greet Chang'an every year and get drunk with him, dance with him, and hook up with him.
Let me tell you, all Chinese people, including Di and Yi, are one family, and I regard them as one.
This is the charm of Tian Khan.
The messenger who delivered the good news rode his horse all the way through Chang'an City and headed straight for Tai Chi Palace.
As soon as the knight arrived at the gate of Taiji Palace, the palace door had already been opened. A eunuch had been waiting for a long time and hurriedly led the knight into the palace.
At the same time, in the British palace, Li Qinzai was having dinner with his wife and children.
Jinxiang is pregnant, and the whole family pays great attention to it.
Li Siwen and his wife and Cui Jie personally made various care plans for Jinxiang, and several old women from the Duke's Mansion were also activated to take care of Jinxiang at all times.
These old women give people the impression of being elusive, and they were like this when Cui Jie was pregnant. After Hongbi was born and took care of Cui Jie after confinement, the old women mysteriously disappeared again, and reappeared after Jinxiang became pregnant.
It feels like they belong to some unfathomable mysterious organization, and the leader of the organization is Guanyin.
Although the old women are domestic servants, both Li Siwen and Li Qinzai respect them extremely.
It is said that Li Qinzai was born by these old women, which shows their seniority and status in the government.
When the family ate, Jin Xiang sat at a table alone. The dishes on the table were different from those of Li Qinzai and others, and the food was very light.
Jin Xiang, who has long been accustomed to the heavy flavor dishes of the Li family, was not happy with her meal. Every time she took a bite, she looked eagerly at Li Qinzai's table. The sumptuous, delicious and delicious dishes on the table made her greedy.
"Don't even think about it. Eat the food on your table. If you're pregnant with a baby, don't get into trouble just because of your appetite." Cui Jie said without looking back.
Jinxiang's mouth dropped, and he looked at Li Qinzai for help.
Li Qinzai smiled: "Don't look at me. Madam is right. You have just become pregnant and your diet should not be too oily or salty. It will take a few months until the fetus in your belly is stable."
Qiao'er bit the end of her chopsticks and asked curiously: "Second mother is pregnant with a baby, will she give birth to a sister for us?"
Li Qinzai blinked: "Do you like younger brother or younger sister?"
Qiao'er blurted out without thinking: "Sister."
"Why? Wouldn't it be fun to have a younger brother like Hongbi?"
Qiao'er showed a disgusted expression: "One Hongbi is enough, but I still like my sister."
Hongbi on the side was so disliked by his brother, but had no self-esteem. He smiled flatteringly and grabbed a chicken leg with his oily hands and put it into Qiao'er's bowl.
Qiao'er's expression softened slightly. She looked at the chicken drumsticks in the bowl and murmured in a low voice: "Actually... it wouldn't be bad to have a younger brother."
Li Qinzai and the two ladies looked at each other and smiled.
It's great, all this is the picture that countless people dream of, and it is something worth guarding for a lifetime.
A maid hurriedly walked to the door and reported in a low voice. Butler Wu was waiting outside the archway in the backyard.
Li Qinzai put down his bowls and chopsticks and walked outside the archway of the backyard. Butler Wu told Li Qinzai with a look of joy that Haedong had been victorious and the Silla Kingdom had been destroyed.
Li Qinzai was startled for a moment, then he was overjoyed. He hurriedly ordered someone to tell Li Siwen and his wife, and then turned back to the house.
Cui Jie and Jin Xiang looked stunned, and Li Qinzai said excitedly: "Haidong is a great victory. Grandpa led the army to destroy the Silla Kingdom. The news of the victory has arrived in Beijing. I guess your Majesty will summon me soon."
Cui Jie and Jin Xiang also laughed happily.
After waving away the maid, Cui Jie personally stepped forward and put Li Qinzai into official uniform. While changing, she said: "Haidong has been leveled. Grandpa will soon return to Beijing. At such an old age, it is really hard to still fight for the country.
He, when he comes back, we must honor him well."
Li Qinzai's eyes became a little deeper. The final battle of Li Ji's life was, as expected, perfect. A generation of famous generals finally came to an end and lived happily ever after.
This is probably the best ending.
Sure enough, an hour later, Butler Wu came to report that someone was in the palace, and the emperor urgently summoned Li Qinzai.
Li Qinzai, who had already changed into his official uniform, did not dare to delay and went out immediately.
The carriage stopped in front of the Taiji Palace, and Li Qinzai was led into the Anren Palace by the eunuch.
In the Anren Hall, Li Zhi and Empress Wu were sitting side by side. Wine and food had been placed on several low tables in the hall in advance. Seeing Li Qin enter the hall, Li Zhi waved to him and laughed.
"Jingchu, come quickly, good news has arrived in Beijing, the east coast has been leveled, haha! You and I should get drunk tonight!"
Li Qinzai's face turned bitter: "Still drinking? Your Majesty, I cannot bear the power of alcohol. What will I do if I drink too much..."
"I won't be punished for anything I do, even if you sit on my neck and pee!"
