Seeing that the cavalry under the city were getting closer and closer to him, Niu Jinda laughed ferociously, drew his long bow as full as the full moon, and pointed the arrow directly at the leading man!
At this time, the man obviously saw the cow Jinda on the top of the city, but he didn't slow down at all and still rushed towards the city gate like a fly!
"Hey! Breaking into the city at night is looking for death!"
Seeing the cavalry in the city looking like this, Niu Jinda smiled instead of being angry! He was about to shoot an arrow and tell them that not only Lord Ma has three eyes, but Lord Niu is also not easy to mess with!
But suddenly I saw these people stopped by the Bashui Bridge. Then, ten people raised their heads almost at the same time and shouted towards the city wall!
The bow in Niu Jinda's hand also fell off, and it hit his feet! But Niu Jinda seemed to be unconscious, just staring at the city with his wide mouth and wide eyes!
"Wait a minute, what are they shouting about? Why are my ears so bad?"
Soon, another roar came! This time Niu Jinda heard clearly: Qikou victory! Li Jing actually won? Or was it a fucking victory?
"Damn it! Why are you still standing there! Open the door! Hahahaha..."
A moment later, accompanied by Niu Jinda's bold laughter, the tall and heavy gate of Chang'an City slowly opened in the night!
A group of cavalry filed in from the city gate, passed through the long corridor, and galloped along the road towards the palace!
At the same time, the roar of "Great victory at Qikou! Killed 30,000 enemies! Captured 100,000 enemies! Captured countless numbers!" quickly spread throughout Chang'an City!
Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace.
Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was sitting in front of his desk, looking at the dancing candlelight on the table in a daze.
Controlling an empire, controlling an emerging empire, is by no means as simple as people think!
The war in the north, the banditry in the south, the drought in Shandong, the uprising in Hebei...
The major events that happened in various states and counties every day, the mobilization of troops at various borders, the enemies openly and secretly, as well as the civil and military officials in the court, all required the hard work of his emperor!
Over the past few years, Li Shimin often felt that he was about to become a tool man and could only live in the days of mechanical approval and memorials every day!
"Erlang, it's late at night, go to bed early."
Behind the curtain, a faint fragrant breeze came. The eldest grandson, dressed in a simple long dress, slowly came to Li Shimin holding a bowl of lotus seed porridge.
When Li Shimin heard the noise, he came back from his chaotic thoughts and looked back at his eldest grandson with a smile on his face.
These days, whenever he is physically and mentally exhausted, Changsun will always cook a bowl of porridge and bring it to him.
Now, to him, this porridge is no longer just food, but a tonic that can heal the soul and soothe feelings!
"Wait a minute. After I finish reviewing the last few copies, I will go to rest."
Reaching out to take the porridge bowl, Li Shimin smiled apologetically at his eldest grandson, then lowered his head and drank a big mouthful of lotus seed porridge.
The porridge cooked by the eldest grandson is just right, warm but not hot.
The cooking temperature is also good, and every grain of rice inside is boiled and bloomed. The only drawback is that the lotus seeds have a slight bitter taste, which is not completely covered up even with the addition of sugar.
When the eldest grandson saw his husband eating porridge, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Then she moved lightly, came behind her husband, stretched out her hands to gently massage his temples: "It's already very late outside! It's too late to approve again tomorrow."
Li Shimin was enjoying a pleasant massage and tasting lotus seed porridge and said: "There are still things tomorrow. If we push today's things to tomorrow, wouldn't tomorrow be more troublesome?"
When the eldest grandson heard this, his brows furrowed: "I see that when I was the Supreme Emperor, I didn't work as hard as you every day! Could it be that the ministers in the court didn't do their best to help you share the affairs?"
Li Shimin felt the change in his eldest grandson, put down the half-eaten porridge bowl, patted her hand and said: "Haha, you have wronged those ministers by saying so!
Now in the court, ministers like Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Xue Shou and other ministers must handle political affairs with caution!
Li Jing, Chai Shao, Li Daozong and other generals marched forward bravely on the battlefield!
Even Xiao Han, who has always been lazy, took the initiative to go to Mobei this time. I heard that he experienced catastrophes and dangers several times! You see they are like this now, who dares to say that the ministers are not dedicated? "
The eldest grandson breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but then worried again: "Then why can't this political matter be solved no matter how hard it is dealt with?"
"Why……"
Li Shimin sighed this time, then slowly stood up from his seat, took his eldest grandson to the window of the palace, opened the window, and looked at the dark and vast world outside: "Because I don't want to be a mediocre person who just gets by.
You, you want to be an emperor who will be famous throughout the ages!"
"Dong dong dong..."
It seems that God wants to help prove what Li Shimin said!
Just at this moment, the horse hooves of the messenger galloping in Chang'an broke the silence in the palace city!
Immediately afterwards, a loud roar tore through the darkness of the night and passed straight into the deep palace!
Li Shimin was stunned! His eldest grandson was also stunned!
The two of them stood by the window blankly, and it was not until the next victory call came that the most noble couple in the world reacted!
"Victory? Li Jing won? Killed 30,000 enemies and captured 100,000 enemies!"
At this moment! Li Shimin suddenly felt that the suffocation that had been pent up in his heart for many years was gone! What followed was a sense of relaxation he had never experienced before, which instantly filled his body!
"I congratulate Your Majesty! Congratulations to the Tang Dynasty and congratulations to the world!"
After reacting, the eldest grandson Yingying bowed down. Immediately afterwards, all the chamberlains and maids at the door followed suit and bowed down, shouting long live!
Li Shimin opened his arms and greedily breathed in the fresh air blowing from the window, as if he wanted to swallow the "Qikou Victory" into his belly!
"Ring the prayer bell and open the palace door. I will meet all the ministers tonight and will not return until I get drunk! Hahaha..."
That night, the praying bell rang a total of 99 times, which was only nine times less than one hundred and eight times!
In Chang'an, all officials of the seventh rank and above are dressed neatly and enter the palace at night!
Wu Hou, who was patrolling the streets, quietly withdrew at some point, because no one could stop the revelry of Chang'an people from flooding the streets!
The whole of Chang'an turned into a sea of joy on this night!
The shadow that lingered in the minds of all Tang Dynasty people completely disappeared after the call for victory at Qikou and no longer existed!
Deep in the palace, Li Yuan, who had grown significantly older in the past few years, slowly walked to the entrance of the courtyard after hearing the cheers outside. There was relief and joy in his eyes.
In front of a son who surpassed him in every aspect, the grudge in Li Yuan's heart slowly melted away.
Perhaps, the original fault of Xuanwu Sect was not all Erlang's fault, but part of it was also his fault!
