Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 482
From Tubo back to Chang'an, the journey can be described as thousands of miles.

Zhang Yi and Xu Jingzong drove from Tubo all the way to Chang'an with a team of hundreds of servants.

They didn't dare to stop halfway. The most important thing was that Zhang Yi wanted to rush back to Chang'an early. It had been half a year since he left home and returned after winning the war.

From the early spring season at the beginning, the weather has begun to cool down now.

Zhang Yi kept his head down all the way and hurried on, Xu Jingzong didn't dare to say anything, after all he was the one who left Zhang Yi to wait for the end of the war.

If he hadn't forced him to stay, Zhang Yi could have rushed back to Chang'an half a month ago. He knew what Li Er's condition was for Zhang Yi. As long as this war was won, their family could be reunited.

It took fourteen days, a full fourteen days, before Zhang Yi and the others rushed back to Chang'an from Tubo territory.

Looking at the majestic Chang'an City in the distance, Zhang Yi and Xu Jingzong felt a little hesitant.

Their task was completed. Logically speaking, Zhang Yi and the others should be rewarded, but the two of them were hesitating outside Chang'an City at the moment.

They are worried that the most ruthless is the emperor's family.

"Let's go, Mr. Xu, I think His Majesty already knows about our return, and we should rush back to report."

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Yi pulled Xu Jingzong up very simply and walked directly to the palace.

They didn't go home to visit their relatives first, even though Xu Jingzong's mansion was in Chang'an City, neither of them went in for a drink on the way to the palace.

The two of them went straight to the palace with hundreds of people, and the guards in Chang'an knew that it was Zhang Yi and Xu Jingzong who had returned, so they didn't ask any questions. They knew that Zhang Yi and Xu Jingzong had the emperor's life.

A group of people walked straight outside Daming Palace.

Li Er had been preparing for a long time. When Zhang Yi and the others arrived, Li Er was already waiting outside Daming Palace.

Who is Li Er? He is a famous emperor throughout history. Zhang Yi did not expect that Li Er would greet them in person. This honor is not ordinary.

Zhang Yi and Xu Jingzong looked at each other, and then went directly to bow down.

Li Er came out to greet them in person, so they naturally had to give Li Er enough face.

In fact, before Zhang Yi and the others returned, Li Er had already negotiated with the Tubo peace negotiation team, which is why Li Er came out to meet Zhang Yi and Xu Jingzong.

The Tubo Kingdom is willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and ask for the protection of the Tang Dynasty!

Li Er was very satisfied with this result, and he naturally knew who contributed the most.

And now that the politics and economy of the entire Tang Dynasty have stabilized, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people have a little war-weariness. At this time, if anyone wants to jump out and rebel, he will definitely die.

So Li Er's doubts and worries about Zhang Yi gradually decreased, and even Li Er found that he was too worried about Zhang Yi, and what he did to Zhang Yi during this period was very unfair.

Feeling a little sorry for Zhang Yi, so Li Er came out to greet the two in person this time.

After some politeness, Li Er directly asked the imperial decree to be read out.

Since the two of them have made such great achievements, they must be rewarded heavily, especially Zhang Yi, who has been too unfair to him, and now needs to compensate him more.

In fact, no matter whether he compensates Zhang Yi or not, no matter how Li Er rewards him, it is not too much. Because of Zhang Yi, Datang was able to defeat the two powerful enemies of Turks and Tubo in such a short period of time, directly allowing Datang to put an end to foreign troubles. Entered the prosperous age ahead of time.

However, Li Er's reward was not stingy, and he directly gave Zhang Yi the title of Marquis.

Zhang Yi didn't hear anything, but he heard the words "Marquis Champion!" very clearly.

It was already the highest honor in ancient times to be named a marquis and worship a minister.

And Xu Jingzong was also promoted. Although he was not as capable as Zhang Yi, he jumped from a fourth-rank official to a second-rank official in the court.

This is the highest state that a wealthy family can achieve except for the royal relatives. Even compared with Cheng Yaojin and others, it is not in vain.

In time, after the precipitation of time, the Xu family will definitely become a new wealthy family!

This is the main reward. As for those gold, silver and jewelry, Zhang Yi is useless to listen.

With the money earned from Zhangjiazhuang, he can't spend it in eight lifetimes, so who cares about how much gold and silver Li Er rewards him.

More money is really just a number.

After receiving the reward, the two immediately euphemistically expressed to His Majesty Li Er that they wanted to go home and visit their family first.

And Li Er could understand that, after all, he was away on an expedition, and after going there for so long, his family members must be extremely worried.

Especially Zhang Yi, first went to fight the Turks, and after winning the battle, he came back and gave him a marriage. He just got married, so he sent him to fight against Tubo. That little girl Xu Rou probably hated Li Er to death.

Li Er didn't stop him, and generously asked Zhang Yi and Xu Jingzong to go home first.

The two of them were not hypocritical. After resigning, they went back to their respective homes and went to their respective mothers.

Zhang Yi was homesick, but Xu Jingzong didn't want to.

After the two left, Li Er raised his head and laughed. He laughed very freely, even heartily.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Tang Dynasty was surrounded by powerful enemies. There were Turks in the north, Tubo in the west, Uighur in the northwest, and Goguryeo in the east.

At that moment, the newly established Datang could be attacked by these powerful neighbors at any time.

Moreover, the newly established Datang did not have enough military and financial resources to deal with the wars of powerful neighboring countries.

So from Li Yuan to Li Er, they have been forbearing all the time, they have to accumulate strength.

Now, only 20 years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks in the north have been conquered, and the Tubo in the west has just been conquered. These two will not dare to provoke the Tang Dynasty easily in a short time.

The Uighurs in the northwest and Goguryeo in the east are far less powerful than the Turks and Tubo, and now that the Tang Dynasty has defeated two powerful enemies in a row, I believe that the Uighurs and Goguryeos are not so stupid and will come to Datang at this time trouble.

In this case, Datang has almost guaranteed that no war will break out in a short period of time, and the speed of our Chinese people's recuperation is very fast. If there is no war in a short period of time, Datang will be able to enter the country in less than two years. A prosperous era.

After entering the prosperous age, Datang will be full of national power. At that time, if there is still a country that does not have eyes and dares to provoke Datang, Li Er will definitely beat him until the country is destroyed.

Thinking of this, Li Er was very excited.

"No matter what, from now on, my position can be regarded as secure."
