Twenty years ago, Li Jing was majestic and invincible. His reputation shocked China and foreign countries, and he conquered all barbarians, achieving the prestigious reputation of "God of War". However, time passed by like a fleeting moment, and now Li Jing's beard and hair are all white.
He is getting old, and his time has long passed.
Fang Jun, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, Liu Rengui... one after another young people rose rapidly and thrived in each foreign war. The waves behind the Yangtze River pushed the waves ahead, and a new generation replaced the old. Even today, Li Jing's reputation is still there.
, but if he really has a disobedient heart, who will follow him?
Now that Li Jing has resigned, his official positions of Puzhou Governor and Shangshu Youpuse (a false position, just a title, the official position is Xiao Yu) will also be relieved of office.
Even if Li Jing, who has no job and is far away from the center, has great abilities, can he still turn the world upside down?
What's more, His Majesty Li Er is sure that the current Li Jing has long since tempered his anger, and the resentment in his chest has gradually calmed down with the passage of time. The current Li Jing is just an old man who cannot bear to fight for supremacy with his peerless military skills.
Buried in the ground with him to rot.
Serving as the grand sacrificial wine in the martial arts hall not only fulfilled Li Jingzhi's long-cherished wish, but also benefited the imperial military, so why not do it?
Therefore, His Majesty Li Er put aside all previous suspicions and said with great dignity: "The world is so vast, where is there that you, Pharmacist Li, cannot go to?"
This sentence evoked infinite emotion in Li Jing's heart.
He bowed his head to the ground again, but no matter how hard His Majesty Li Er helped him, he still wouldn't get up.
There were two princesses beside him. Li Jing was a soldier and could bleed without shedding tears. He really didn't want the two girls to see him crying all the time...
His Majesty Li Er had no choice but to pat him on the shoulder, not knowing how to comfort him.
With the sound of footsteps, Wang De quickly walked up from downstairs again. Seeing that Li Jing was a little embarrassed, he hesitated whether he should step forward...
His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "You old slave really doesn't know anything. Why are you so irritable today? I don't know what to say."
Wang De felt that he was wronged. Li Jing, who had not left the palace for more than ten years, came to the palace to see him. Now the whole Chang'an is probably shaken. You still want me, an eunuch, to keep calm?
I think it's a pity that I don't have the determination!
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly." His Majesty Li Er scolded.
Wang De bent down and bowed, and said cautiously: "The two young masters from Duke Wei's family are outside the palace gate at the moment."
His Majesty Li Er was startled: "Why are they two here?"
Li Jing secretly wiped the corners of his eyes, straightened up, and looked at Wang De.
Wang De hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Those two...were dressed in white, with a bare carriage following behind them. They were kneeling down outside Chengtianmen, saying... saying..."
His Majesty Li Er became more and more impatient and shouted: "Hesitating, just say what you have to say!"
"Here!"
Wang De was startled and said quickly: "Those two said they were...begging for bones."
Begging... begging for bones?!
Everyone in the hall was stunned.
After a long while, Li Jing blushed, covered his face, stamped his feet, and cursed: "These two incompetent bastards... I have completely lost my face!"
The two affectionate sons thought that if they entered the palace, they would never return, so they came to collect the bodies for themselves...
His Majesty Li Er had a strange look on his face, half-smiling but not smiling. He looked at Li Jing and said quietly: "These two young masters, Duke Wei... are really filial."
Li Jing was sweating profusely and said quickly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The dog is stupid and ignorant and neglects discipline. It is an unintentional mistake to be so disrespectful. I hope your Majesty will forgive you."
The emperor had just forgiven him, and all the past grudges had been wiped out. However, the actions of the two sons were very likely to make His Majesty angry. After all, Li Jing entered the palace with his front foot, and his two sons were waiting at the palace gate to collect the body... This
Didn't he accuse the world of the emperor being a ruthless murderer?
How incredibly stupid!
If the emperor wants to kill him, he can find a hundred reasons at random over the years. Even if he really wants to kill him, it is impossible to kill him in the palace!
Li Jing could not wait to rush out of Chengtian Gate at this moment, catch his two sons and give them a blast!
Look at Fang Xuanling's son, and then look at his own son. Ruoran's popular saying in Guanzhong really makes sense - giving birth to a son should be like Fang's last love!
What can His Majesty Li Er say?
I'm sure I'm unhappy. Doesn't I look like a murderous emperor? But now that we have just settled the feud with Li Jing, we can't fall out immediately, right?
Gritting his teeth, His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "What did Duke Wei say? Is he such a stingy person?"
Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. After I return, I will definitely punish these two idiots."
His Majesty Li Er nodded, deeply agreeing: "You should be punished well, a little harder, just don't break it."
Li Jing sweated profusely...
*****
Originally, it would be a joy to have the obstacles that had been smoldering in his chest cleared once, but after leaving the palace and looking at his two sons dressed in white, Li Jing really couldn't be happy.
The behavior of these two bastards is almost equivalent to announcing to the outside world that His Majesty the Emperor is a cruel, bloodthirsty, and narrow-minded executioner... In other words, His Majesty Li Er is very generous. If it were the tyrannical guy like Emperor Sui Yang, he would be able to give them no mercy
Father and son punish a great crime of disrespect.
Aren't you going to collect your father's body?
Okay, pack up, you three can go on the road together to save yourself the trouble...
Li Jing's face was gloomy, but his two sons were overjoyed.
"Hey, Dad, are you okay?"
"Woo, father, you have scared your sons to death... Look, we have prepared the carriage. Even if the emperor punishes you, as sons, we have to risk our lives to collect your body..."
Li Jing's eyelids twitched, and the muscles on his face twitched. He glared at his two sons fiercely, flicked his robe sleeves, and gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it enough to be embarrassed? Come home quickly!"
Behind him, many internal servants and guards are standing at the gate of Chengtian. They will truthfully report what happened here to the emperor later. Don't let the two sons play tricks. Li Jing cannot afford to lose that person.
He ignored his two sons and boarded the carriage in which he came.
The eldest brother, Li Dejian, slapped his forehead and shouted: "Oh, no! Second brother, please go back home quickly. Before I left, my brother and I had asked my family to prepare for the funeral. I am afraid that everything is ready now.
When everyone sees their father, they must all come back together, it might make a big joke!"
Li Jing, who was boarding the carriage with one leg, heard this and almost fell off the carriage...
When the second eldest child, Li Dezhai, heard this, he quickly said: "Okay, I'll go back first, and you go slowly with your father!"
He immediately jumped on the bare carriage and shouted at the driver: "Hurry, hurry, let's go back home first!"
"Snapped!"
The driver took a whip and drove the carriage away.
Over there, Li Dejian saw his father miss the mark when he boarded the car. He was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward and supported his father's arm. He said worriedly: "Father, please slow down. These old arms and legs are so old that they can't bear a fall."
No, please don’t let the emperor kill your head. You have to explain it yourself..."
Li Jing looked up to the sky and sighed, speechless and choked.
What sin have you committed?
It seems that all the spiritual energy of the Li family has fallen on him. He is talented in both civil and military affairs. However, his two sons are mediocre in talent, dull and ignorant. God, you can at least give them the same...

"Oh? Duke Wei left the palace and went to the palace to see His Majesty?"
Fang Jun met with Su Dingfang in the yamen of the Ministry of War and taught him what to do after returning to Huating Town. As soon as they met, Su Dingfang broke such big news.
Su Dingfang said happily: "Gong Wei submitted a memorial to his Majesty to become an official. Your Majesty has approved it and agreed with Gong Wei's request to go to Jiangnan together with the Prime Minister."
How could he not be happy?
The emperor's move meant that he no longer had to be wary of Li Jing. Although Li Jing had relinquished all his duties, he still had the title of Duke of Wei and could serve as the chief minister of the martial arts hall, educating a new generation of generals for the empire.
Try your best and you will get what you want!
As Li Jing's old subordinate, Su Dingfang was naturally happy that Li Jing was able to live today.
Fang Junfu said: "Previously, I was afraid that Your Majesty would not allow Duke Wei to take up the post of grand sacrificial wine in the Martial Arts Hall. When it comes to famous generals in the world, who dares to claim that his military skills are superior to Duke Wei? Now there is Duke Wei teaching young generals military strategies.
, I am very happy that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have not fallen for a hundred years!"
Both of them were happy that Li Jing had received His Majesty's forgiveness. From then on, although the "Military God" of the Tang Dynasty could no longer lead troops to fight and frightened enemy countries, he could still shine in another position and live up to what he had learned in his life.
.
It’s pretty much perfect...
"It will take some time for the martial arts hall to be established. The general will return to Jiangnan tomorrow. He will be traveling with the prime minister and Duke Wei. Is there anything you want to explain to Erlang?"
Su Dingfang asked.
"nature!"
Fang Jun sat up straight, pursed his lips, and said in a cold voice: "Those guys almost cheated me once, and it's not my style to not fight back after suffering a loss! You can come over here and return to Huating Town. You should
