Chapter 862 Domination of the world (finale part [-])
In Chang'an, it was raining heavily.

For the people in Guanzhong who have been suffering from drought for a long time, this heavy rain is really just right.Because Li Shimin has been on the throne for two years, the Guanzhong area has been dry for a long time.

It seems that the dynasty is about to change.Many old people sighed in this way.

One morning after the rain, news of the defeat in the Battle of Sanyuan reached Chang'an.The emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was killed in battle. As soon as the news came out, the whole Chang'an was in turmoil.What touched the most was Li Tang's clan and the remaining ministers.

There was chaos in the city, and there were endless debates about whether to fight or go, but before they could argue, Zhao Jun's cavalry had already arrived at the city.

In the picture of the heavy rain at night, Li Tang's ministers and officials looked outside the city, countless Zhao Jun cavalry in coir raincoats lit torches, and they all realized that they could not leave.

During a debate, Li Shentong and Li Xiaogong were appointed to negotiate with Zhao Guo when they were in danger.But the two made the same decision. At this moment, the only option is to invite the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan to come back to abbot the overall situation.

When the two came to Da'an Palace to meet Li Yuan.

Li Yuan seemed to have known their intentions and said: "I knew that today would come, and I was always worried, but now I am not afraid anymore."

Li Shentong and Li Xiaogong were in tears when they heard the words.Li Shentong cried: "Your Majesty, the building is about to collapse, and only you can turn the tide."

Li Yuan just shook his head and said: "Even when I raised my troops in Taiyuan, I couldn't reverse my actions. What's more, it's the end of the day, and the general situation is over now. It's better to surrender early to avoid killing. I can see that Li Chongjiu is a benevolent man." People, let alone San Niang is not his imperial concubine, she also gave birth to a prince for him, so he won't take the trouble to eradicate our people with the surname Li. Don't worry!"
"As for the rest, you go and do it! I'm tired!" After speaking, Li Yuan took out a small bottle from his sleeve.

Li Shentong said with tears, "Your Majesty..."

After hearing this, Li Yuan smiled wryly and said, "I'm already a man of my age, can I still be a man like Liu Chan and Han Xiandi? I've been stubborn all my life, and I don't want to look at people when I'm old. Now my only regret , just not being able to see my Sanniang, Shiro, and my grandson, the rest is no regrets, you all step back!"

Li Shentong and Li Xiaogong were relatively speechless. At this moment, someone outside reported: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! King Qi is here!"

Li Yuan got up suddenly, and lost his voice: "What?"

"Father!"

A person outside the door yelled energetically, then stepped into the door and threw himself on Li Yuan's knee.

"Yuanji, it's really you!" Li Yuan was in tears at the moment.

Li Yuanji also cried bitterly: "Father, I have suffered in the past few years. Third sister, third sister originally said that she would bring your grandson to see her, but...but Li Chongjiu refused. It is really not a gentleman. Could it be that he I was afraid that my father would harm his daughter. The third sister asked me to ask my father well in advance. The third sister said that he had already asked Li Chongjiu. The condition is that the ministers will not die, and the only condition is not to destroy every plant and tree in Chang'an City, and at the same time, within a month, the clan, ministers, Yang Duwei and Li Guanlongmen must move to Luoyang, and they are not allowed to stay in Chang'an."

"At present, Zhao Junsan's 10,000+ army has arrived outside Chang'an City. They only need an hour to break through the city, but Li Chongjiu can say that, which is enough to give the third sister face."

Li Yuan turned his eyes, pondered for a while and asked, "Then Li Chongjiu is also willing to let your second brother's sons live?"

Li Yuanji said anxiously: "Father, why are you worrying about that man who has no father and no brother? It's not easy for Li Chongjiu to agree to the conditions of Third Sister..."

Hearing this, Li Yuan waved his sleeves and said, "Although your second brother is unkind, his sons are also my Li Yuan's flesh and blood. Since you were young, you only cared about protecting yourself. When did you ever think about others?"

"Father, me!" Li Yuanji's face was full of grievances, he didn't expect this result.

Seeing Li Yuanji's anxious look, Li Yuan sighed and said, "You are so confused. Right now, your second elder brother's eldest son, Chengqian, and his mother's eldest grandson have fled to Shu, and General Li Jing has led an army into Shu to protect him. Li Chongjiu Although it is not difficult for the current forces to break through Shu, but the mountains and rivers in Sichuan and Shu are steep, and there are famous generals like Li Jing guarding them, it will take a year or two. You can ask Li Chongjiu to exchange for Sichuan and Shu on the condition of protecting their mother and child Returning to Zhao is also the best of both worlds, for you, it not only fulfills the name of benevolence and filial piety, but also gives credit to Li Chongjiu, with this in mind, Li Chongjiu will never embarrass you in the future, do you understand!"

After hearing Li Yuan's words, Li Yuanji suddenly realized and said happily, "Father, that's how it is."

Li Yuanji finally understood Li Yuan's painstaking efforts. Although Li Chongjiu put on the appearance of being tolerant and generous even to his arch-enemy Dou Jiande, it was just to buy people's hearts before he won the world.But after winning the world, is it another Liu Bang?
But Li Chongjiu is really Liu Bang, no matter how much credit Li Yuanji makes, it is useless.

Outside Chang'an City, inside Zhao Jun's tent.

A blond woman with blue eyes is standing in the middle, with a charming look.The generals of Zhao Guo also looked at this woman with a sense of freshness.

This woman is Kedun Eudocia Epiphania, who belonged to Yehu Khan of the Western Turkic Order, and she is also the daughter of Emperor Heraclius of the Eastern Roman Empire.It was a tool used by Heraclius and his relatives in the Eastern Roman Empire's plan to jointly attack Persia in order to conclude with the Western Turks.

After the Battle of Sanyuan, Wang Junkuo arrived on the battlefield one step late, but the victory and defeat were already divided.Li Chongjiu then ordered Wang Junkuo to pursue Ye Hu, the Western Turkic Khan who fled from the Sanyuan battlefield.Wang Junkuo did not disgrace his mission. After chasing for hundreds of miles, he finally defeated the main force of the Western Turks and captured more than [-] horsemen. Not only did he capture Tong Yehu Khan, but he also captured this peerless beauty.
Tong Yehu Khan was captured, but the Eastern Roman princess showed no signs of fear. Instead, she looked at the place curiously, and then saluted and said in a half-baked Turkic language: "I am the princess of the Eastern Roman Empire. , please give me the treatment I deserve."

But seeing the princess's calm appearance, several generals of Zhao Jun smiled maliciously.Several generals who made great contributions in this battle of Sanyuan, such as Wang Mahan, were all thinking whether to ask Li Chongjiu to ask Li Chongjiu to take this orchid as a concubine.

The reason why they didn't say anything was because they thought that if Li Chongjiu took a fancy to him first, it would be difficult for them to speak.

Li Chongjiu said in Turkic language: "Eastern Roman Empire, I have heard that your father Heraclius was a great emperor! And your new Rome, Constantinople is also a great city!"

After hearing Li Chongjiu's words, the Princess of Eastern Rome couldn't help being happy and said: "You know Constantinople? That's great, I really hope you have the opportunity to visit Constantinople! Of course you are not here to attack us."

Li Chongjiu laughed and said: "Why did I attack you? We Han people don't like to kill. But if I have the opportunity, I will definitely go to Constantinople. Even if I don't have the opportunity, my descendants will go instead of me." , of course with our peace and goodwill, and from sea, not land."

After hearing this, the Eastern Roman Princess jumped up like a little girl and said, "That's great, you really are the greatest king in the East!"
"The greatest king in the East? Why do you say that?" Li Chongjiu asked with a smile.

The Eastern Roman princess said: "You have defeated Tang and the Eastern and Western Turks. Now there is no one in the entire East who can be your opponent. Shouldn't you be called the greatest king in the East!"

When the Eastern Roman princess said so, Xu Shiji, Xue Wanche, Wang Mahan, Yu Chigong, Ji Chuan, Zhang Xuansu, Yu Shinan, Wang Junkuo, Ying Hefu, Er Tuo and other generals in the tent laughed loudly.

Cheerful laughter came from inside the tent, Li Chongjiu smiled lightly, and then said: "The greatest king in the East! I don't like this title, because he will make people proud, but I still thank you for your compliment."

While speaking, Shan Xiongxin stepped into the tent and said to Li Chongjiu with an excited expression, "I report to Your Majesty, Li Tang surrendered as a whole country!"

It is said that Li Chongjiu is as calm as Li Chongjiu at the moment, and it is difficult to restrain his emotions, but the generals are full of joy, excitement, and excitement, and they all knelt down and said: "My minister congratulates your majesty on ruling the world!"

"Unify the world!" Li Chongjiu said softly.

Chang'an City, Da'an Palace.

Five hundred Zhao Junting guards were standing outside the palace. In the side room of the palace, Li Zhiwan was holding her infant son, feeling uneasy, and Li Yuanji, Li Xiaogong, and Li Shentong were equally uneasy.

Inside the main hall, only a box of sandalwood was lit.

Li Chongjiu and Li Yuan sat opposite each other.

Before Li Yuan could speak, Li Chongjiu bowed his hands and said, "I would like to express my gratitude to Your Excellency first."

Li Yuan smiled wryly, "Thank you for what, thank you for giving you this Chang'an city and this family business? No need, you built these yourself."

Li Chongjiu shook his head and said: "No, because of this, I heard that Your Excellency had death intentions before, if Your Excellency is really like this, then no matter how tolerant and understanding Zhiwan is, she will definitely blame me for the rest of her life."

"San Niang, hehe!" Li Yuan said with a gentle smile on his face, "There is something I have never understood, and it has been on my mind for almost ten years. An answer."

"Mr. Tang, just ask."

Li Yuan nodded and said, "I'm thinking, if the old man really had to betroth Sanniang to you, would you still rise up against the old man?"

Li Chongjiu said: "I am fighting for the world not for Sanniang, but for myself, but after I fight for myself, I also think that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. I want to do my best to do useful things for the common people and the common people of Li. .”

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. These words are deafening!"
Li Yuan was silent for a while, and then said: "I heard that when you entered Chang'an City today, Xu Jingzong and Xuan Suiliang presented you with a record of martial arts!"

Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "I've seen it, and in all fairness, your son is also the hero of the whole life, but he has lost a bit of magnanimity in tampering with history books."

After hearing this, Li Yuan sneered and said, "It's easy to say, it's what everyone is criticizing, who can't be afraid of infamy."

"maybe!"

"What happened to Erlang in the end?" At this point, Li Yuan's eyes flowed down a tear.

Li Chongjiu said: "He didn't humiliate the emperor's dignity. I have already ordered people to take his body away, and he will be buried with the emperor's ceremony in the future."

Li Yuan nodded and said, "You can do this, which shows your benevolence."

Li Chongjiu laughed at himself and said: "But some people say that I am buying people's hearts, but let others say it. No matter what you say, we were friends before your son was alive. I still remember that we faced the Turks when we closed Yanmen Pass more than ten years ago. There are hundreds of thousands of troops. Your son told me at that time that you will know the destiny when you are fifty. He is 20 years old this year. If he can live to be 50 years old, he will take ten years to calm the world, ten years to raise the people, and ten years to rule the world. This is him. Life ambition!"

Hearing what Li Chongjiu said, Li Yuan covered his face and wept uncontrollably.Li Chongjiu also shed tears.

Li Yuan cried for a while, wiped away his tears and said: "My son has been wronged by Confucian scholars in this life, otherwise how could we have come to this point."

Li Chongjiu also said: "My son's words, today I have been using them to spur myself, it is easy to calm the world, it is easy to raise the people, but it is difficult to rule the world!"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "You can say that, the old man is very pleased, that's all, I'm done talking here, I believe this is the last time we talk, the king of the subjugated country has nothing to say, but I hope you treat the people well, don't forget Treat San Niang well!"

"Thank you for your words!"

After Li Chongjiu gave a long bow, he left the palace.On the other side, Li Zhiwan, Li Yuanji, Li Xiaogong, Li Shentong and others rushed out when they heard the movement.

Li Chongjiu nodded to Li Zhiwan with a smile, and Li Zhiwan burst into laughter in an instant.

But under the darkness of night, the beauty is extraordinarily beautiful.

PS: I was wrong. There is still a last paragraph of [-] characters left. It is a dialogue between Li Chongjiu and Li Ying. I thought about it all night and changed it a few times. I can’t express it. I will leave it to everyone tomorrow.
