Ji Tang

Chapter 277 Longyan Joy
There are two medium-sized stone lions in front of the gate of Haozuhou Mansion, there are war drums on both sides of the porch, and a war halberd is stuck in the eaves above the door, which shows that someone in the family is away fighting for the country.

Standing in front of the door were four soldiers wearing battle armor and holding horizontal knives. They were not squinting at the moment, holding swords in their hands. They had a fierce aura on their bodies. At first glance, they were veterans of hundreds of battles.

"Open the door quickly, I have something urgent to report to Madam!"

At this time, Lao Zheng, who was running quickly, shouted to the soldiers.

A soldier hurriedly supported Old Zheng and asked curiously: "Steward Zheng, what's going on? Did something happen?"

At the end of the sentence, a murderous aura overflowed from his body, and even Lao Zheng, who had been seeing each other all day long, couldn't bear it.

He secretly cursed Shacai and said: "The Marquis is coming back soon. There is an urgent report from the north. The Marquis has won the battle!"

"Really?"

The soldiers were overjoyed when they heard this. The master of his family had won the battle. This was not only the honor of the Marquis, but also the glory of those who were closely related to the Marquis.

"The Marquis is back. The Marquis is back after winning the battle."

Watching the soldiers who had left him behind run in, leaving only Lao Zheng messy in the wind.

There were many nobles living in Chongrenfang, and the shouts of the soldiers were so loud that they couldn't help but hear them.

Hearing the shouting next door, in addition to envy, they also felt a little bit jealous.

But they also knew who lived in the Haojuhou Mansion next door, so they could only hide their true thoughts in their hearts, and immediately began to prepare gifts as an advance congratulation.

No matter how unhappy I feel in my heart, if I dare to make others unhappy on their happy day, I will forge a deadly feud.

Thinking about the ability and background of the good Marquis, he asked the housekeeper to send him there as soon as possible.

Li Shimin had just finished handling today's government affairs and was about to take a lunch break. But as soon as he lay down, he heard loud cheers outside.

He suddenly got excited, rolled out of bed, and ran out without even bothering to pass on his clothes and shoes.

As soon as he came out, he saw Chen Shou running towards him. Perhaps he was too anxious and fell down several times on the way.

When he looked up and saw the emperor, he immediately knelt down and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is so happy!"

Li Shimin didn't care about anything else. He stepped forward and grabbed Chen Shou's collar and asked, "Where does the joy come from?"

"The news of the great catastrophe on the grassland has now spread outside. The raid on the Turkic royal court was successful, the enemy chieftain was captured alive, and tens of thousands of prisoners were taken, including cattle and sheep!" Chen Shou said quickly.

Li Shimin slowly let go of Chen Shou, stood up in a daze, and looked up at the sky.

"Really?"

Although Chen Shou couldn't see the emperor's expression, he could still feel the excitement in his heart because of his excited trembling voice.

He cried and said: "At this time, the red feather envoy is galloping in the city. He will surely arrive at the palace soon. Your Majesty is waiting for you."

"Yes, Your Majesty must believe in Li Jing and the others, and also believe in Brother Song. When have they ever disappointed Your Majesty?"

Perhaps the eldest grandson got the news and hurried over. Seeing the emperor's appearance, he spoke out to persuade him.

"Yes, yes, I have to believe in them. They have never let me down, and neither has Brother Song."

He suddenly turned around and said to Chen Shou: "Immediately invite Duke Xing and others, including Wuji, Wei Zheng, and Yuchi, to come to the Taiji Hall to discuss matters."

"promise!"

Chen Shou wiped away his tears and ran out in a hurry.

"Brother, they should also have received the news, and they will probably be rushing back and forth now!" The eldest grandson said warmly, looking at Li Shimin who was still a little uneasy.Li Shimin couldn't wait any longer and said to his eldest grandson, "You rest for a while, I'll be back soon!"

The Red Ling envoys did not have any obstacles along the way. When they arrived in Chang'an City, they slowed down. There were not many opportunities to show their faces like this.

This is the highlight moment of their lives. If they don't enjoy it for a while, they don't know if they will have the opportunity in the future.

Sun Liu now felt that he was not riding a horse, but like he was stepping on clouds, feeling as if he were in heaven, and feeling comfortable all over.

He had never encountered such treatment before. The general was leading the way, and hundreds of soldiers were guarding him. Although it was not directed at them, who wanted the good news to come to him and others? Isn't it the same!

Especially the envy and respect in the eyes of the common people when they see them, I am afraid he will never forget them in his life!
The common people consciously stood on both sides of the road, looking at the dozens of armors that were still stained with blood and were in tatters.

They could imagine how tragic it was at that time, and they all looked at these soldiers with respect.

Soon, they arrived at the end of Zhuque Street and in front of Zhuque Gate.

Sun Liu felt a little disappointed. He knew it was coming to an end and wondered if there would be such an opportunity in the future.

The main gate of the palace, Zhuque Gate, was now wide open, and the soldiers reporting victory did not dismount. This was the emperor's privilege.

That is riding a horse in the palace, and riding a horse in the palace is fair and honorable.

Even if some veterans have such rights, no one is really stupid enough to ride horses in the palace. The rights are there, but you have to pay attention to the impact, right?

They walked all the way from Zhuque Gate, Cheng'an Gate, Taiji Gate, and entered Taiji Palace.

The splendor of the palace made everyone a little nervous, and they were about to meet His Majesty, which made them excited.

A variety of complex emotions were mixed together, and they themselves didn't know what they were feeling at this time.

After crossing the Tai Chi Gate, they dismounted.

The captain was giving everyone a wink. They staggered off their horses, and the etiquette officer next to them also smiled heartily.

Someone quickly helped the leading people into the Tai Chi Hall. This was an honor that belonged to the soldiers, and everyone understood it.

Now they not only represent themselves, but also represent the thousands of soldiers who fought bloody battles on the battlefield. It is their responsibility to get the merit they deserve.

At this time, the Taiji Hall was full of civil and military officials. As long as they were ministers in Chang'an, everyone who could come came.

The news of the victory on the grassland was like a shot in the arm, making the shadow that had hung over everyone since the founding of the Tang Dynasty gradually disappear.

Some ministers were even more excited, "Turks!"
That powerful nation, which was so powerful that it reached Chang'an last time, has always been a thorn in their hearts and a shame for them.

Even some officials with ulterior motives were pretending to be happy at this time, and at the same time they began to murmur in their hearts.

It seems that this victory is correct. No one dares to fake such high-level reports as the Eight Hundred Miles Urgent Report and the Red Ling Urgent Messenger.

If it is false, it means that the entire court is being treated like monkeys, and no one would dare to do that.

They all knew what kind of person Li Jing was, and it was even more impossible for them to do such a thing.

But when they thought of the emperor's rapid rise in prestige after the victory, they sighed inwardly!
Knowing that he could no longer blatantly force the imperial power like before, as long as this victory spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's prestige would reach its peak.

Such an emperor is no different from the founding emperor.

Why did Yang Guang insist on attacking Goguryeo?Don't you just want to establish your own martial arts and enhance your prestige?

But it's a pity that he lost it, and then, there was no more
