Chapter 849
Somewhere outside the city, Bai Fan stood alone in front of Qingcheng Elder Li Zheng's grave.

"Old Li, I haven't come to see you for many years, I didn't expect that the first time I came was to plead guilty to you.

Back then you asked me to take care of your fourteen-year-old great-grandson Li Mingxin. I am ashamed of being a teacher and failed to protect him. Today I am here to apologize to you. "

After finishing speaking, Bai Fan gave a big gift to Old Li Zheng's tombstone, then took out the wine and meat from the food box, sat down in front of the tombstone, drank one cup after another to the tombstone, and offered a few toasts from the wine jar from time to time. Old Li Zheng.

Just when Bai Fan was slightly drunk, Hong Qianli walked over, holding something in his hand.

"Master, this is something that was found on Junior Brother Mingxin's close-fitting chest."

Bai Fan took it and looked, it turned out to be a note, which was the note left by Bai Sanmei when she gave the amulet at the time of parting.

"Hey, what is love in the world!
Qianli, bury your Junior Brother Mingxin next to Elder Li Zheng, and this thing will be buried with him.

Tell everyone not to tell Sanmei anything about the Southwest. "

"Then, what about Li Xinzhong? They are brothers. Will they be buried together after death?" Hong Qianli asked.

Bai Fan snorted coldly: "Him? He has already renounced his family and betrayed his ancestors, so he is not qualified to be buried here.

Since he is the last king of Tubo, let him be buried in the mausoleum of the successive kings of Tubo according to the rituals of the Tubo royal family. "

Two days later, a new tomb was added next to Elder Li Zheng's mausoleum, and the inscription was inscribed by the bad teacher Bai Fan.

After two years of arduous fighting, the entire territory of Tubo was finally captured. For this reason, the Tang Dynasty lost almost [-] troops, and the war consumed a huge amount of food, grass, military equipment, thunder, etc.

The local army of Tubo was almost wiped out, and the population loss caused by the war made Tubo even worse. It can be said that after the war, what was left to the Tang Dynasty to govern was a complete mess. Even the defense of Tubo had to rely on the Tang Dynasty to send troops.

Of course, Tubo has a natural geographical advantage. To the west is the natural danger of Daxue Mountain, which is difficult to overcome by manpower. To the south is the deep mountains and old forests.

Li Yuanji was left behind to lead troops to temporarily garrison and govern Tubo. Li Ji, Bai Fan and others returned to the Tang Dynasty, and when the Tang Dynasty sent capable people to govern Tubo in the future, they returned to Qi Wang Li Yuanji.

Datang and others did not know that before the victory of the war, Li Xinzhong gave the West Turkic poppy seeds and a batch of thunderstorms, which planted hidden dangers in the northwest of Datang.

And the Western Turks promised to receive benefits to help support Tubo in the periphery, but in fact it was a completely deceitful talk. It had been two full months, and there was no movement in the northwest.

The more than 2000 people of the Li family in Longxi, Bai Fan did not embarrass them, but they could not stay in Tubo to take root, so they were brought back to the Tang Dynasty and scattered around to be treated as commoners. Although these people had betrayed the Tang Dynasty in name, But as Li Mingxin said, they are just a group of poor homeless people.

A month later, Bai Fan and others returned to Chang'an City without stopping. Tubo was destroyed, and the victory of the Tang Dynasty had already been sent to Chang'an by telegram. Tang Weiming has already taken root in the hearts of the common people. In Chang'an City, there are all lanterns and festoons to celebrate the great victory. Many common people have changed from talking about the small things of firewood, rice, oil and salt in the past to talking about military and state affairs, such as which country the Tang Dynasty will war to next, etc. wait.

But after Bai Fan and the others returned to the city with a big victory, the trend of discussion in Chang'an City changed because of one thing, that is, Lan Tianhou's hair, why was it all white, and what caused the Hou Ye to turn gray overnight?Gossip is like a hurricane, even if no one leaks it, some people will speculate whether it has lost all power.

This is definitely not a good thing. Although Bai Fan has a very high status in the hearts of the people, under his fame, he has countless bloody enemies. Without his peerless martial arts, Bai Fan is like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out. Many people It will definitely be around the corner.

After asking Li Ji to help him reject the celebration banquet in the palace, Bai Fan went straight back to the Lantian Marquis Mansion alone, not because he was afraid of anything, but because this experience in the southwest made him physically and mentally exhausted, and many unexpected things happened , Many people died, and it was a great victory for the country to win Tubo, but Bai Fan didn't have much excitement, but was filled with a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Li Er threw a celebration banquet, entertained Li Ji and everyone in Zhongnan Academy, awarded him a reward, and inquired about the situation of Bai Fan and the wounded in detail, and sent his servant Gao on the spot, saying that he would bring the Queen to visit him in person.

Regardless of whether Li Er was genuine or fake, at least this action made people feel very sincere, but after the banquet, before Li Er left the palace, someone came to the Yizheng Hall to find him.

It was the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, accompanied by Li Yuanba, who found Li Er.

"Father? Fourth brother?

I don't know that the father came here, and the child was far away to welcome him. " Li Er respectfully saluted.

"no.

Erlang, do you know why my father is looking for you today? " Li Yuan asked as if he was an examiner.

Li Er was a little puzzled, suddenly his heart moved, and he opened his mouth to answer: "Could it be, for the sake of simplicity?
Father, don't worry, Jian Zhi came here to save his fourth brother's life, and the child will never forget this great kindness. I will send two thousand elite guards day and night to the Lantian Hou Mansion, and everything will be fine. "

Li Yuanba was furious instantly, "Second brother, you are too deceptive!"

"Here, fourth brother, what are you? Where did you say that?" Li Er was stunned.

Li Yuan stopped Li Yuanba who was about to strike and said with a smile: "Erlang, what kind of temper are you, don't you know as a father?
Who is it in short?Even without martial arts, do you need to send troops to protect him?The [-] Wu Yingwei in the hands of others can be used as the Xuanjia Army, which is enough to protect the homeland.

At this time, when you said that you sent troops over there, I'm afraid it wasn't for the purpose of monitoring and controlling him. "

"I, Father Emperor Mingjian, my child has no such intentions..."

"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether you have this intention or not, the matter of sending troops can't be mentioned again.

Being a father is also a person who has been an emperor. It is difficult for my Li family to repay a great favor. Now he is in decline. As long as you, the emperor, will not kill heroes in vain, it will be fine if you don’t take action against him. This is the purpose of my father’s visit today . "

Li Er felt aggrieved, "Royal Father, don't tell me that in your eyes, the child is the villain waiting to cross the river and tear down the bridge?

In short, he is a great talent of Jingtianweidi, and it is too late for the child to reuse and protect, so how could he harm him? "

"Hehe, you have been with him for many years. You should understand that Jane is gentle on the outside, strong on the inside, and extremely arrogant. .

Without martial arts, it is Datang's blessing that he can educate the next generation of Datang in the academy with peace of mind, and other things cannot be forced. "

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked away without further words.

Li Yuanba turned back and said: "Second brother, my junior uncle saved two lives of Li Yuanba. From now on, my fourth brother will be his personal bodyguard. Whoever kills him will be killed, and the Li family is no exception."

Li Er was speechless for a while, he really didn't have any bad thoughts, okay, Bai Fan lost his martial arts, it just happened to be safer for him, and he wanted to use it again, what is he doing with his head and face?And that fourth child, good boy, dare to threaten the second brother who took care of you since childhood?
