Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1446 No Regrets

Looking at the weeping willows on the shore of Baqiao, Li Shan couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He had gone through countless dangers over the years. Every time he left or returned home from here, his identity and status would rise.

From now on, the weeping willows of Baqiao may not be seen for a long, long time, and Li Shan has a lot of thoughts in his heart.

"Third sister, let's go." Li Shan chuckled, "It seems that the Chinese New Year will be here in a few days."

After holding a banquet to celebrate his achievements on December 24, Li Shan sent Tuli Khan and more than ten Ashina generals back to Chang'an, and each army returned to its base. Originally, he wanted to go straight back to Beijing, but Li Yuan issued an edict and ordered Li Shan temporarily took over the land.

It took half a month for Li Shan to properly resettle the plundered people. Reconstruction began in various places. Officials from various states also arrived one after another before he was able to return to Beijing.

Today, Li Shiji is appointed as the general manager of Daizhou, Li Kai is appointed as the acting governor, Xue Zhong is transferred to Daizhou Biejia, Liu Shirang is transferred to the general manager of Xinzhou, Xue Wanjun is appointed governor of Shuozhou, and Tian Liuan is transferred to the governor of Xinzhou.

Princess Pingyang waved her horsewhip, "For such a great achievement, it will be the last time that the Prime Minister and the Assistant Clan come out to greet him."

"It's a blessing to be able to live peacefully in the future." Li Shan shook his head. He deliberately did not send anyone to Beijing first because he didn't want to see this scene. It was completely unnecessary.

What's more, the Zhenguan period was not peaceful. He had already been involved in a battle for the right to inherit the throne. Li Shan really didn't have the energy to do it again in ten or twenty years.

After successfully passing Changle Slope where no one came to greet them, the group entered Chang'an from Tonghua Gate and went straight to Zhuque Gate.

The person stationed at the Zhuque Gate was Hou Hongtao, the guard of the left prison gate. He personally stepped forward to hold the horse's reins and said with a smile: "Alang is finally back."

"You are now serving in the Beiya Imperial Guards, so you cannot be called that." Li Shan got off his horse and saw officials walking out of the imperial city intermittently. It was almost time to release the Yamen.

In the past few months, the news that Li Huairen, the heir to the throne of Wei, first rescued the enemy and then fought against the enemy, and then led the army to march to Hedong has spread throughout the capital. Several great victories have been praised frequently. Now that Li Shan has finally returned to the court, the surrounding officials are all Gather around.

There weren't many people he knew well, so there was nothing he could do about it. Li Shan actually didn't have much dealings with the three provinces and six ministries. Even if he was familiar with them, he was familiar with those officers.

An official from the Imperial Medical Office actually asked...has His Highness's arrow wound been cured?

Li Shan was also speechless, to think he was so heartless.

All the way into the Tai Chi Palace and the Liang Yi Palace, Li Yuan happily pulled up Li Shan, who was prostrated, and said, "Only when I have Huairen can I avenge my shame. To this day, I can finally have a broad mind."

All the ministers and ministers in the hall nodded in agreement. In the late Sui Dynasty, all the northern princes bowed to the Turks. When the Tang Dynasty unified the world, they were inevitably bullied by the Turks. Until Li Huairen came out and defeated the Turks several times, the three great princes before and after him Khan died or was captured directly or indirectly. How could this not make Li Yuan happy?

"I can't give you any reward you want." Li Yuan held Li Shan's hand and said with a smile, "I will keep you rich and honorable for the rest of your life."

"Father's words are wrong." Li Shimin said with a smile: "Such an outstanding person, shouldn't father leave it to his children?"

The corner of Li Shan's mouth twitched, "Your Highness, the injury from the arrow has not healed yet..."

"Hahaha!" Li Shimin laughed loudly, "Huairen's talent is not limited to the battlefield, he will still be able to rely on him in the future."

Princess Pingyang couldn't stand listening anymore and took two steps forward, "Huairen has made many meritorious deeds in the past few years. It's time for him to cultivate himself."

"Yes, yes." Li Yuan nodded repeatedly, "It's reserved for Erlang anyway."

Li Shan sighed, "In a few months, my mental strength has been exhausted, and if I allow you to cultivate for ten or eight years, you may be able to make a difference."

"We will tell you what happens in the future." Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Tonight we will host a banquet in Lingyan Pavilion to honor Huairen and praise Huairen!" Seeing Li Shan's hesitation, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Huairen hasn't returned home yet. Bar?"

"I will go to the palace first to see you."

Naturally, Li Yuan would not be so unreasonable. Li Shan quickly left the palace and returned home. Now his family still lives in Yanshoufang.

Li Shan bowed to the ground and said, "My child pays homage to his mother."

"Get up quickly." Zhu looked up and down, "Isn't he really hit by an arrow?"

"Don't worry." Princess Pingyang, who came with her, sneered: "When I whipped him that day, he hid very quickly."

"Don't worry, mother." Li Shan said with a smile, "I won't have to worry about anything in the future, just live in peace."

Li Shan knew in his heart that history had been greatly changed by him. Who knows what Li Chengqian will be like in this life, who knows whether Li Zhi will still come to power... As long as he doesn't get involved, with his own merits and status, how can he Nothing will happen.

Well, among the members of his own faction, Ling Jing will be serving as an official in less than two years. Ma Zhou seems to have not lived as long as Li Shimin in history. Su Dingfang, Hou Hongtao, Qu Silang are all fine, and Zhang Zhongjian... this People are too utilitarian, and it just so happens that they now hold the military power in Lingzhou, so just find an opportunity to get away with it.

Because her daughter is about to give birth, Mrs. Zhang has been here for the past few days and said with a smile: "Everyone in the court praises Huairen for his literary skills and martial arts, as well as his rich knowledge. In the future, he should carefully teach his children, and the Li family of Dongshan will surely inherit it."

Princess Pingyang said angrily: "Don't teach him like a big boy, Erlang. Even his father said that Eleventh Lang was originally smart, but was led astray by Huairen."

After chatting with his elders for a while, and being disliked by his father-in-law Cui Xin, Li Shan went to the backyard, sat by the bed, and looked at his sleeping wife.

It seemed that only a moment passed, or a long time passed before Li Shan, who was lost in thought, realized that his wife had woken up and was looking at him curiously.

"Eleventh Mother."

"Alang." Cui Shiniang held her husband's hand and said softly: "I will never be able to lead the army again. Are you a little bit reluctant to let go of Alang?"

"Yes." Li Shan did not want to hide it in front of his wife, "It has always been a man's ambition to be on the battlefield, but he has no regrets and no regrets."

"Historians will record your husband's meritorious deeds, and history will engrave your husband's name."

Li Shan's voice was not high-pitched, but he was full of arrogance and pride. "In the future, the Tang Dynasty will dominate the world, and its troops will reach as far as Liaodong and the Western Regions, but it all starts from here."

That night, Li Yuan convened the important ministers and the clan and held a banquet in Lingyan Pavilion. Now Lingyan Pavilion has hung the portraits of Li Xiaogong, Dou Gui and Li Shan, so Li Jing is not here, otherwise he will be angry to death.

Now that Li Jing's prestige in the army has been greatly lost, and the Turks no longer pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty, there is really no need for Li Shimin to use Li Jing as his commander-in-chief.

That night, the banquet lasted until late at night. Li Yuan personally played the piano and made music. The ministers congratulated him. Li Yuan had no regrets for completing such a feat before abdicating the throne.

It's just that Li Shan felt a little pity that he didn't see Li Shimin get up and dance.
