Faced with such sudden good news, all the civil and military officials in the Tai Chi Hall were overjoyed. The haze caused by the snowstorm in their hearts disappeared in an instant and turned into nothing!
Originally, most of them believed that His Majesty the Emperor's plan to attack the Eastern Turks was just an impulse!
Still have doubts about this.
But I didn't expect that the Eastern Turks, who had been entrenched in the northern grasslands for hundreds of years, were actually wiped out under the decision of His Majesty the Emperor!
For a while, most people were still in disbelief!
However, the fact is right in front of you!
They have to believe it even if they don’t believe it!
Now, everyone looks at His Majesty Li Er with eyes filled with respect!
The elimination of the Eastern Turks is an achievement that will last forever!
Among the ministers, one person expressed joy after hearing that Northern Xinjiang had won a great victory, but most of them were dumbfounded!
This person was Changsun Wuji who went to Wannian County with His Majesty Li Er that day.
Changsun Wuji knew very well that he could defeat the Eastern Turks this time.
These strategies were not thought up by His Majesty the Emperor at all, but by Su Chen who was farming in Wannian County!
Changsun Wuji's throat moved, and his eyes were full of horror!
Su Chen from Wannian County can definitely be said to be unprecedented in terms of military capabilities, and unprecedented!
This boy is truly a talented person from all over the world!
…
"Ah...ah sneeze!"
Suddenly, Su Chen, who was far away in Wannian County, felt something in his heart and sneezed indifferently.
"Who dares to arrange this for me behind my back?"
Su Chen rubbed his nose, cursed, and then continued to draw.
…
At this time, His Majesty Li Er was naturally delighted and beaming with joy!
"According to my decree, a banquet will be held at Ganlu Hall today to celebrate the great victory in Northern Territory!"
"Drink victory for you all!"
Faced with such good news, how could we not celebrate it?!
…
Today, His Majesty Li Er is really happy!
Northern Xinjiang's victory was his first good news in these days, and it finally gave him a hint of joy in his long-depressed mood.
For this reason, at the celebration banquet, His Majesty Li Er and all the civil and military officials drank a lot of wine, and many officials were carried out drunk.
"Mr. Guanyin, I am so happy today!"
"Good news came from northern Xinjiang, the Eastern Turks have been annihilated in one fell swoop!"
"The people at my border will finally no longer have to suffer from aggression!"
"Jieli Khan will also be escorted to Chang'an within half a month. I finally avenged my shame!"
His Majesty Li Er returned to the Li Zheng Hall smelling of alcohol and shared the good news with Empress Changsun.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, after this battle, our Tang Dynasty will surely become more prosperous!" Empress Changsun said with a smile, and expressed her sincere happiness for the victory in Northern Xinjiang.
"Your Majesty, let's face it, this great victory in Northern Xinjiang is inseparable from the contribution of Mr. Su from Wannian County."
"It just so happens that the weather has been fine recently. It's better to choose a better day. Why don't we go visit Mr. Su tomorrow?"
As the saying goes, people are in high spirits during happy events, His Majesty Li Er also nodded frequently after listening to Queen Changsun's words.
"Yes, I originally wanted to go to Wannian County again two months ago, but I have been putting it off until now."
"Just in time, I will recruit him again. If I can get him to assist me, it will be a happy event for the Tang Dynasty!"
If it was said that Su Chen's talent, knowledge and conversation had surprised him before.
After his plan was realized, Su Chen's status in Li Shimin's heart was elevated to an unprecedented level.
After all, there are too many young people who are eloquent, but His Majesty Li Er really knows very little about young people as talented as Su Chen, and they are definitely rare!
"Your Majesty, I have also heard that Wannian County has beautiful scenery, why don't we take Si Zi with us then?" Empress Changsun said with great interest.
"Sizi..."
His Majesty Li Er hesitated.
"This is not good. Doctor Liu has said that Si Zi is weak and should not be exposed to the cold. It is still winter and going out may not be good for her health."
"It's okay, Your Majesty. The heavy snow outside has stopped and the weather has improved."
"Sizi has been staying in the palace these days and is almost sick from boredom!"
"I will ask her to wear more clothes to protect her body."
After some persuasion from Queen Changsun, His Majesty Li Er finally agreed.
"Okay, then we will leave for Wannian County tomorrow."
Early the next morning, Li Shimin and his wife took Si Zi out of the palace under the protection of the guards.
In order to prevent accidents, His Majesty Li Er specially called Li Junxian, the left-ranking lieutenant general, to protect their safety in secret.
And walking with them was Wei Zheng, who had always followed the past.
Ever since Wei Zheng learned about the incident in Sujiazhuang, he asked His Majesty Li Er about it over and over again, causing His Majesty Li Er to have calluses on his ears.
In order to solve the problem once and for all, His Majesty Li Er quickly sent someone to notify him and asked him to go to Wannian County together today.
"Xuancheng, remember, when you arrive at Sujiazhuang, you must not reveal my identity!"
Li Shimin gave Wei Zheng repeated instructions.
"Your Majesty, why is this? If this young man is really capable, wouldn't we invite him to serve as an official in the court?" Wei Zheng didn't know why.
"No need to ask more, I have my own arrangements. You must pay attention to it then!" His Majesty Li Er said seriously.
It's not that His Majesty Li Er doesn't want to explain the reason, but that boy Su Chen seems to dislike him!
Last time he was even called "Li Er"!
If Su Chen knew that he was "Li Er" himself, let alone refuse, he would probably even run away!
Therefore, to be on the safe side, it is better to speak to others emotionally and rationally.
Only in this way can we have the opportunity to recruit Su Chen under his command.
…
Su Chen has also been very busy recently.
Thousands of people in the village were waiting for him to eat. They had to deal with a lot of things every day, and they were almost exhausted.
"Oh, I am so exhausted, young master, I can finally go back and take a rest!"
After all the problems were solved, Su Chen stood up, stretched, turned and walked towards his house.
Due to the snowstorm, Chang'an City is extremely cold this year!
In order to make his life more comfortable, Su Chen spent a lot of money to hire skilled craftsmen from Chang'an City and spent nearly ten thousand taels of silver to create a replica of the heating facility!
After three days of fiddling with the natural hot spring behind the house, the heating pipes were finally connected!
Su Chen's body ached when he thought of spending such a huge amount of money!
But fortunately, it was well worth the money. After experiencing the heating, Su Chen felt much better.
In this backward era, burning charcoal to keep people warm was the only way to survive the winter.
