I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 671 Returning to China
"Your Majesty is wise." Li Kan was relieved to see that Li Zheng agreed with him.

He heard today that the Queen of John was dragged out, and he thought that Li Zheng wanted to kill the young queen.

Now it seems that I was worrying too much. His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is wise and powerful, so how could he not see the seriousness of the matter?

The stone in Li Kan's play fell to the ground. He bowed respectfully to Li Zheng and retreated.

After Li Kan left, Li Zheng originally wanted to take a nap, but the sleepiness had already disappeared without a trace.

So Li Zheng walked out of the hall and wandered aimlessly in the city of Calais.

A moment later, Li Zheng walked to a row of side rooms at the back of the palace.

Two maids were standing guard outside a wing on the west side with their heads down.

It was already afternoon, and Li Zheng walked up to the two maids and asked.

"Is she awake yet?"

"Your Majesty, I just woke up and took some water and food."

Upon hearing this, Li Zheng reached out and pushed open the door, then walked in.

In the room, Victoria was sitting sadly at the head of the bed. When she saw Li Zheng appear, her body couldn't help but tremble.

Victoria also had a shadow on Li Zheng.

Lin Lizheng was somewhat surprised that she still suppressed her fear, stood up and bowed to Lizheng.

It seems that Victoria is also a sensible person. She also understands that the fate of the entire John Kingdom is now in Li Zheng's hands.

Enraging Li Zheng would have no other result except dragging the entire nation of John down with him.

"It seems that Her Majesty has figured it out."

"I am willing to cooperate with His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to appease the Kingdom of John. Please give the Kingdom of John a chance to survive."

The young Queen was by no means a foolish person, and she understood Li Zheng's purpose in sparing her life.

After yesterday's humiliation, she also understood that His Majesty the Emperor was not an easy person to get along with. She had already lost her dignity and face, and now there was nothing left to insist on.

"Well, very good. Her Majesty the Queen is a smart person, and I like to deal with smart people. If you help me appease those resistance forces, I will naturally not be too harsh on your country of John."

After getting Li Zheng's assurance, Victoria breathed a sigh of relief, her heart was at ease, and her whole body felt better.

Seeing that the Queen of John was so tactful, Li Zheng's mood also improved.

Li Zheng said nothing more, turned around and walked out of the room.

Back in the hall, Li Zheng pondered for a moment.

Time passed quickly. It had been more than a year since the expedition, and Li Zheng began to think about returning home.

Tang soldiers can be left in John's Country and France's Country to guard and handle subsequent matters. There is no point for him to stay here.

Thinking of this, Li Zheng decided to return home alone this time.

With the flying speed of pterosaurs, they can even return home before the end of the year.

Peking City.

As the heart of the Tang Dynasty today, the city of Beiping has completely replaced the former city of Chang'an and has become the new cultural, political, and economic center of the Tang Dynasty.

Nowadays, in addition to the people of the Tang Dynasty, there are more and more faces of foreign races visible to the naked eye in Chang'an City.

Most of these foreign races have now become citizens of the Tang Dynasty. They have low status and even any Tang citizen is nobler than them.

However, there are exceptions to everything. If these ethnic minorities intermarry with the people of the Tang Dynasty, they can change their status to a certain extent.

But the people of the Tang Dynasty were mostly traditional and conservative. Generally, only the masters of wealthy families would marry a concubine of a foreign race. No Tang Dynasty citizen would marry his daughter to a foreign pariah.

Zheng Fang, the Minister of Rites, once suggested to Li Zheng that the Half-Step Law should explicitly prohibit intermarriage with people of other races, and that children born to women of other races should not inherit the family business, etc.

But Li Zheng thought about it again and again, and as he had the memories of his past life, he still did not follow Zheng Fang's advice. He ordered that those foreigners who made important contributions to the Tang Dynasty could serve as officials in the court.

But this condition is rather harsh. It is the end of the year and the tenth year of Jianwu is about to come.

The people throughout the city of Peking decorated the place with lights and colors, and the whole city was filled with singing and dancing.

Li Zheng returned to the city of Beiping amidst the lights and decorations.

The pterosaur flew over the city of Peking, its huge wingspan casting a shadow under the city walls.

The sharp-eyed people of the Tang Dynasty saw the pterosaur.

"The Emperor is back."

"Look, His Majesty the Emperor has returned victoriously."

Li Zheng's invincible record made the people of the Tang Dynasty think without hesitation that Li Zheng had returned from a victorious battle.

What? Will he return in defeat? What a joke! How could His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty lose?

One stone caused a thousand ripples, and Li Zheng returned to the palace under the fanatical gaze of the people.

Li Zheng returned to the palace after a year and rushed to Li Shimin's bedroom to pay his respects.

Thanks to the existence of the elixir, Li Shimin's health was naturally fine, but he became a lot more talkative. He lectured you and Li Zheng, and complained that Li Zheng had not come back for a long time.

Li Zheng begged for mercy quickly and finally found an excuse to get away.

Afterwards, Li Zheng went to see his elder brother Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian didn't say much, but just urged Li Zheng to pay more attention to and accompany Qin Wan'er.

When Li Zheng came out from Li Chengqian, he felt a little guilty.

I have been away from home for a long time, and I made Qin Wan'er and others cry.

Thinking of this, Li Zheng walked towards Qin Wan'er's bedroom.

Since Li Zheng returned suddenly and did not notify the officials, Qin Wan'er naturally did not know the news of Li Zheng's return.

Soon, Li Zheng walked into Qin Wan'er's bedroom.

Li Zheng made a gesture to silence the palace maids standing on both sides, stopped the palace maids who wanted to salute, and quietly walked into the hall.

Qin Wan'er was sewing a pair of men's shoes with thousand-layer soles, with a flying dragon pattern on them. It was obvious that they were for Li Zheng.

Seeing this, Li Zheng's guilt was about to overflow.

"Wan'er, I'm back."

Hearing Li Zheng's voice, Wan'er suddenly turned around. Looking at Li Zheng, whom she hadn't seen for a year, Qin Wan'er's eyes suddenly became red.

"emperor."

Qin Wan'er called out softly, stood up and threw herself into Li Zheng's arms.

Seeing this, the palace maids on both sides retreated tactfully.

Out of guilt towards Qin Wan'er and his relatives, Li Zheng stayed in the harem for three full days.

And three days later, it will be the end of the year.

On this day, Li Zheng issued an edict to host a banquet for all officials in the palace.

In order to make the banquet lively, Li Zheng issued a decree allowing all officials to bring their wives and children to the banquet.

In the main hall square, all the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty gathered.

At the top of the square, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian were also sitting high up.

Li Zheng sat on the throne of the Tang Dynasty, looking at the civil and military officials in front of him, and looking at this scene of singing and dancing, his heart was filled with emotion for a moment.

Li Zheng personally led the Tang Dynasty into its present prosperity. Half of the world's territory is now under the control of the Tang Dynasty, and this is not the end.
