"In this battle, we will defeat seven major cities in Goguryeo, including the royal city!"
"At the cost of less than one thousand battle losses, we killed two hundred thousand enemies!"
"Goguryeo was completely frightened by the killing, and the whole country surrendered!"
"The cattle, sheep, and money seized are countless, and the weapons and armor are countless!"
"Big victory!"
The knight shouted loudly as he ran along Suzaku Street in the direction of Tai Chi Palace!
After hearing the news, the people were stunned for a moment, and then burst into extremely warm cheers!
A thousand losses in battle?
Kill two hundred thousand enemies?
Goguryeo, which they once feared so much, was defeated like this?
Suddenly, the people of Chang'an City felt a sense of pride from the bottom of their hearts!
That’s the pride of being a Tang person!
The foreign merchants in Chang'an City were all dumbfounded.
This army has only set out for more than two months, and it has achieved such brilliant results?
Achieved this level of success with only 100,000 people?
For a moment, these foreign merchants were horrified. When they turned to look at the people of the Tang Dynasty, their eyes had unintentionally gained a hint of awe.
At this time, the idea emerged in the minds of these foreign merchants that the Tang Dynasty should not be messed with!
So, they immediately sent people back to inform their respective kingdoms not to provoke Datang!
Three days later.
The city of Chang'an was crowded with people, and the cheers of the people resounded through the sky!
The common people were waiting at the city gate early in the morning for the returning soldiers in triumph.
Seeing the army finally appear, everyone shouted excitedly!
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to the Tang Dynasty!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to the Tang Dynasty!"
…
His Majesty Li Er is wearing mail and riding on a war horse, looking heroic and high-spirited!
How many emperors have there been in history who were so popular with the people?
Now that he has only succeeded to the throne for a few years, he has already achieved this level. Is he still far away from his prime years?
The army marched slowly and returned to Tai Chi Palace surrounded by the people.
"Starting from today, the education ban in Chang'an City will be lifted for three days!"
His Majesty Li Er announced loudly: "Everyone, the whole world celebrates!"
When the people heard this, they became very excited and responded one after another.
"Celebrating the whole world!"
"May your Majesty live as long as Heaven, and may the Tang Dynasty prosper for all generations!"
…
The road from Chunmingmen to Taiji Hall took nearly two hours!
After arriving at the palace, His Majesty Li Er waved his hand!
Have a banquet and celebrate!
As for Hou Junji, Niu Jinda and other soldiers who conquered Tibet in the west, just wait until they come back and hold a celebration banquet!
There should be no monarch or ministers at the wine table. This is the rule set by His Majesty Li Er.
As a result, all the ministers had completely let themselves go at this time!
The fiery generals got excited after drinking and staged several hand-to-hand battles, which attracted applause from the whole hall!
Under the interplay of banquets and plans, there was peace in the Tai Chi Hall!
When he was halfway through drinking, His Majesty Li Er suddenly discovered that Changsun Wuji was missing.
What about auxiliary engines?
Weren't you there when the banquet just started?
So, he called Li Junxian to inquire.
"Report to Your Majesty."
Li Junxian said: "It seems that Duke Zhao just received a summons from home. Seeing that His Majesty was in high spirits, he went ahead without disturbing him."
"Did something happen to the auxiliary machine's house?"
His Majesty Li Er asked in surprise: "Do you know?"
Hearing this, the corners of Li Junxian's mouth twitched slightly.
He is in charge of Baiqi, and it is his duty to collect such information. Naturally, he knows the ins and outs of the whole matter!
Li Junxian said helplessly: "This matter has something to do with Su Chen."
Then, he explained in detail what Su Chen had done during this period.
When His Majesty Li Er heard half of it, he couldn't help laughing!
This little bastard probably thought he couldn't get much money out of me, so he decided to focus on the auxiliary aircraft, right?
In this regard, His Majesty Li Er actually felt a sense of gloating about others' misfortune.
Finally, he was not the only one who was tricked by Su Chen!
The more His Majesty Li Er thought about it, the more interesting he became, and continued to ask: "You mean, that boy Changsun Chong directly gave 50% of the Changsun family's property to Su Chen?"
Li Junxian nodded.
At this moment, His Majesty Li Er suddenly felt a little funny.
Auxiliary machine has been shrewd all his life, how could he give birth to such a stupid son?
His Majesty Li Er was very curious and continued to ask: "Do you know what this is and why?"
"I do know a little bit about it."
Li Junxian nodded and said: "It is reported that Chang Sun Chong and his clan uncle Sun Heng mistakenly thought that Su Chen was an official force who wanted to target Duke Zhao Guo."
"In addition, they couldn't understand some of the methods Su Chen used, so they panicked and made such ridiculous things happen."
If Changsun Chong were present at this time, he would probably break out in a cold sweat!
The conversations between him and Changsun Heng were all held in the house, but Pi Baiqisi still knew everything about it. What a terrifying intelligence capability this was!
"The auxiliary machine has been shrewd all his life, so it is a good thing to suffer some losses." His Majesty Li Er said thoughtfully.
There has been an undercurrent in the court recently, and he has naturally been aware of it.
Obviously, this is all because the tree attracts the wind!
Today's Changsun Wuji is not only a very popular minister and highly valued by him, but the Changsun family behind him is already the second largest family in the Tang Dynasty.
In this case, it would be strange not to be remembered.
Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er suddenly thought of Su Chen. This kid had taken so many benefits from others, wouldn't it be too much to not give him any advice?
After learning that the Eastern Expedition team had arrived in Chang'an, Changsun Chong, who was eager to claim credit, immediately sent someone to deliver the news to Changsun Wuji.
Tell him that the mysterious man whom he repeatedly emphasized not to provoke has become a friend of the Changsun family.
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji was immediately stunned.
Why did Su Chen turn his enemies into friends?
Could it be that Chang Sun Chong, the rebellious son, accidentally provoked him while he was away?
You know, Su Chen is a ruthless person who can destroy an empire in a fit of anger!
After thinking about his stupid son's style, Changsun Wuji was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't care anymore and quickly got on the carriage and returned home.
Zhao Guogong's Mansion, inside the hall.
"Abba?"
Seeing Changsun Wuji coming in a hurry, Changsun Chong was very surprised and said: "Why are you back so soon?"
"Didn't you say that His Majesty is holding a banquet in Taiji Palace and you won't come back until you get drunk tonight?"
Changsun Wuji said straight to the point: "Hurry up and tell me in detail what you said about the so-called mysterious man!"
"Why is Dad so urgent?"
Changsun Chong was a little surprised, and said slowly: "Dad, please sit down and take a rest first, we will take it easy!"
"Come here, serve tea!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Changsun Wuji shouted angrily: "One-five-ten land will explain the ins and outs of this matter, right away!"
