Chapter 175: Renewal of title and title

With Li Longji's order, the team began to move towards Chang'an. The people on both sides of the official road were approaching each other, and they cheered in unison. The heroes and long live cheers were heard, and they went straight to the sky, shaking the earth.

Chen Wanrong rode on the blue and white back, his eyes kept searching in the crowd, trying to find Zheng Qing, but after searching for a long time, he could not see Yi Renfang.

Zheng Qing would definitely come for such a major event, but there were too many people, so it was not easy to find Yiren in the crowd. After searching for nothing, Chen Wanrong had to give up.

As the brigade rushed to Chang'an, along the way, the people greeted each other, with crowds of people, and everyone's faces were full of joy. It should be said that they were crazy. If Chen Wanrong had not met him in person, it would be hard to believe that the people's enthusiasm was so high, so high that they could be said to be fanatical.

This is easy to understand. After all, the capture of Jide Zuzan alive can only be compared with the capture of Jie Li Khan alive back then. It is impossible to not be furious to the people of the Tang Dynasty.

I soon arrived at Jianchun Gate and saw a group of Longwu Army soldiers standing in front of the gates of the city. There was a man in the imperial robe. It was no one else, but Ruizong. Ruizong actually greeted him personally. Chen Wanrong still couldn't imagine that he was very surprised.

Today's Ruizong is very different from the past. He has a happy face and a red light on his face, and it is almost spitting out fire. His mouth can't be closed, and he is happy with his mouth open. Not to mention this, what's more rare is that he has the majesty of an emperor in every move. This is not pretending, but the kind of majesty that an emperor is born with. Chen Wanrong and Ruizong have met many times, but they have never seen Ruizong have such a majesty. He couldn't help but be a little stunned and muttered in his heart: "Is it because of the victory that the emperor has changed?"

Chen Wanrong's guess was correct. It was precisely because the Tang army fought well in the front that the news of victory after victory came after victory, which made Ruizong more and more determined to be a great and promising king. The good news coming from the front was constantly not mentioned, but one was better than the other. First, he took the Stone Castle City, then Doma would win, and then captured Nujiang. The last time he reported the good news, he actually captured Luoshe City and captured Zanpu's two huge joys alive, which almost made Ruizong crazy.

Once the mood changes, a person's temperament will change. Ruizong's blood was so excited that he gave one good news after another, and secretly warned himself that he would do something big and be a great and capable monarch, and to be worthy of the evaluation of the sixth monarch who is the most capable in expanding territory. He will destroy Tubo this year and destroy the post-Tuks next year.

This change doesn’t matter. Ruizong is very ambitious and has changed a lot!

Chen Wanrong flew off the horse and took Geshuhan, Wang Shaohua and Wang Zhongsi to greet him and bowed to him: "See the Emperor!"

The artillery soldiers bowed to the ground and said in unison: "Meet the Emperor!" Hundreds of artillery soldiers greeted each other in unison, with great momentum.

Ruizong heard it in his ears and was happy in his heart. He came up happily, pulled Chen Wanrong up, his eyes kept looking at Chen Wanrong, and nodded and said, "Wanrong, you have changed, you have changed a lot! You are more powerful and smart. What's even more rare is that you have a murderous aura on your body."

This time, Chen Wanrong cut off his head without a hundred and dozens. How can he not have some murderous aura? War is the best way to train people. After such a big battle, fools will become smart people. Chen Wanrong is already very smart, but after a little experience, he will naturally become smarter.

"Thank you for your praise! I have to roll in the sea of ​​corpses and blood. I have to be a little arrogant, otherwise I will be ashamed of the Tang Dynasty!" Chen Wanrong said relaxedly.

Ruizong was in a good mood and pointed at Chen Wanrong and said to the ministers: "Listen, listen, you all listen: This Wanrong is still so funny!"

The ministers were laughing, and even Princess Taiping couldn't help but say, "Fifth Brother, this is called a difficult nature to change. Wanrong used to speak interestingly, but now he speaks humorously."

Ruizong nodded, looked at Geshuhan for a while, and commented: "Geshuhan, you fought well! The artillery made great contributions this time. You have made great contributions. You helped Wanrong train artillery to achieve today's victory."

Geshuhan hurriedly said humbly: "The emperor has been too rewarded. This is what I should do."

Ruizong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Ge Shuhan, you have such talent. In the battle of Nujiang, it is so rare to sweep the army of tens of thousands of people across the country with only 20,000 people. How lucky is the Tang Dynasty to have such talent! Ge Shuhan, will you be a knight again?"

How similar is his words to Li Longji!

Geshuhan said: "Your Majesty, I used to be ignorant and like to be a hero. Now, I have awakened and am willing to serve the Tang Dynasty!"

"Okay, okay!" Ruizong couldn't help but slamming his high-highlights: "I love hearing these words!" He picked up Wang Zhongsi, looked at them for a while, and smiled: "At a young age, he is full of tiger spirit. When he grows up, he will definitely be a tiger general!" Xi couldn't help but feel relieved and kissed Wang Zhongsi's forehead.

This scene was very surprised and surprised in the eyes of the people.

Wang Zhongsi blinked and said, "This is cultivated by the emperor!"

Ruizong patted Wang Zhongsi's face with his right hand and said, "You are just sweet-mouthed! Remember, you have to make up for the homework you have left behind."

"Abide by the order!" Wang Zhongsi received the order with pleasure, making Ruizong laugh.

Having met Wang Shaohua, Chen Wanrong called Liu Fuqing and introduced to Ruizong: "Your Majesty, this is Liu Fuqing, and he captured Qide Zuzan alive!"

Last time, after Liu Fuqing committed suicide, Chen Wanrong took him to the palace for medical treatment. At that time, Liu Fuqing was in a coma and didn't even know what Ruizong was like. Although it was the second time he met, Ruizong recognized him, but he was the first time he was looking at Ruizong with his own eyes. He couldn't help but feel nervous and didn't even know where his hands were placed.

"Liu Fuqing! Wanrong, is the one Liu Fuqing who brought to the palace to seek medical treatment last time?" Ruizong asked.

"That's right!" Chen Wanrong nodded.

As soon as Emperor Ruizong received Chen Wanrong's confirmation, he couldn't help but become more excited. He grabbed Liu Fuqing and said intimately: "On that day, after hearing Wanrong's words, I asked the imperial physician to treat you without hesitation. I am really foresighted! If I didn't save you that day, how could I capture Zanpu alive today? God's will, God's will!"

Liu Fuqing finally woke up and said, "Thank you for your help!"

Ruizong said a joke: "I saved you that day, just to capture Zanpu alive!"

This is a joke, and it cannot be understood as Ruizong's robbery.

A joke made Liu Fuqing unable to take care of her. Ruizong saw Liu Fuqing's embarrassment in his eyes, and enjoyed her heart. Is it even more exciting to tease the warriors who captured Zamp alive?

This is the happiest day in Ruizong's life! Today is a big day to witness his achievements, and Ruizong is in such a good mood!

The first time Ruizong became emperor was just a tool in Wu Zetian's hand, a puppet. The second time he became emperor was also very surprised. He never thought that Li Longji actually joined forces with Princess Taiping to kill Empress Wei and Princess Anle, and he sat on the throne again. This time, at the beginning, Ruizong did not cheer up, and everything was done according to the rules of the first princess and the second prince.

Since discovering the great use of artillery, Ruizong cheered up and decided to do something big, build artillery, and support Chen Wanrong with all his expectations. Chen Wanrong lived up to his expectations and led artillery troops to fight against Tubo, knocking out all the dangerous passes of Tubo. Although Tubo has not yet perished now, it is equivalent to perishing. It is only time for the last blow to Tubo.

Even the great emperors like Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, etc. did not do it when they opened up the land of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It was not because they didn’t want it, but because they couldn’t do it, but Ruizong did it!

This is a major event in Chinese history! Ruizong has been among the emperors who have made great achievements because of this. This is a foregone conclusion and is determined!

Ruizong was in such a good mood today that he couldn't say anything at all, so it's not an exaggeration to describe it.

Not only was Ruizong in a good mood, but he was the ministers, who were not as good as it was better? This was a historic event, and I had the honor of witnessing it with my own eyes. Even if I die, I will never miss it! This life is not a waste!

Seeing that Liu Fuqing was so embarrassed that the nature of the good man of Ruizong was revealed, and he no longer felt embarrassed. He smiled and said, "Liu Fuqing, you step down first."

Liu Fuqing responded and hurriedly stepped back, unable to stop wiping the sweat on his forehead.

At this moment, Princess Taiping helped Princess Jincheng come over. When she saw this niece, she could also be said to be her grand niece. Ruizong's face suddenly became heavy and he sighed: "Girl!"

"I've seen the emperor!" Princess Jincheng said this very mechanically.

Ruizong's face sank: "Girl, it's Uncle Five! Call me Uncle Five!"

"Emperor...Fifth Uncle!" Princess Jincheng froze for a moment, and still called the name Wu, who was used to being called since childhood. She suddenly pounced on Ruizong's arms, and her pink fists kept hitting Ruizong's chest and cried: "Fifth Uncle, you have caused me to suffer! You have caused me to suffer! You have married me to Tubo and destroyed Tubo again. How can your niece live this life?"

The crying made people feel sad and sad, making their noses sore.

This is not accusation, but a complaint, a complaint from the heart. Ruizong sighed, with tears in his eyes, and comforted him: "Girl, it's Uncle Wu who is sorry for you. If not, the Tang Dynasty has no stability! Those who plan to the country will ignore their family. Girl, Uncle Wu has to do this!"

Princess Jincheng let out a sad voice, tears flowed down, wet a large area of ​​Ruizong's imperial robe. In addition to comforting, Ruizong let her cry and vent. It was not until Princess Jincheng stopped the voice that Princess Taiping helped her down with red eyes.

This time, Princess Jincheng was pretty good, and she didn't faint as if she saw Princess Taiping.

"Where is Zuzan from Jide? I want to see this Zanpu who believes that he is not afraid of any difficulties!" Ruizong's interest did not decline at all because of Princess Jincheng's crying, but was even more high.

Chen Wanrong asked someone to take Ji Dezuzan up. Ruizong walked to Ji Dezuzan, looked at him for a while, and commented: "Jide Zuzan, I have heard a saying that you said, "Take Longxi and let the Tang people be unfilial descendants." Although you were a little crazy, you were not without heroic spirit. How much time has passed before you became a prisoner of the Tang Dynasty. Have you ever thought about how you fell to this point?"

Longxi is the place where the Qin tribe lived. The Qin tribe later entered Guanzhong and established the Qin State, and finally produced a great emperor, Qin Shihuang. Therefore, Longxi is the old root of the Chinese nation. Losing Longxi is like losing the tomb of his ancestors, which is actually an unfilial descendant.

When Li Longji saw Jide Zuzan's face, he scolded him. Unexpectedly, Ruizong was the same. Chen Wanrong couldn't help but become interested and wanted to hear how Ruizong said.

Ji Dezuzan's face turned pale and said speechlessly.

The smile on Ruizong's face calmed down and said coldly: "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, I'll tell you. Your mistake is that you are unpopular! Those who support you are just those flatterers who are determined to seek benefits from you. They want to get more slaves, more grasslands, and pastures from you. You don't care about slaves at all. They are hungry, but you turn a blind eye to them. Whenever you return in triumph, the slaves want you to die.

"As soon as the Tang army arrived, the benevolent government was used, all the slaves cheered and truly supported the Tang Dynasty. Your defeat was not defeated by the Tang Dynasty, but by the slaves, and the support of the slaves, which made you end up today.

"Do you know how long has the Chinese abolished slaves? Qin Shihuang had abolished his slaves since he was in the same room. It has been a thousand years since then. Tubo was adjacent to the Tang Dynasty, and Qizong Nongzan learned from the Tang Dynasty and innovated according to the official system of the Tang Dynasty. After being a Zanp for many years, you only knew how to yearn for the wealth of the Tang Dynasty, but you never thought about how to make Tubo as rich as the Tang Dynasty. You only knew how to plunder China, but you only knew how to admire it, but you didn't take any action.

"It is better to retreat and build a net instead of plundering the fish in the abyss. Do you think of plundering? Can the Tubo army beat the Tang army? After fighting for so many years, how many times have Tubo won? If you abolish the slaves and use the intelligence of the slaves, Tubo will not be short of iron, and the Tubo army will be even more able to fight."

Iron shortage is a fatal injury to the Tubo army! Chen Wanrong deeply agreed with this. The reason why the Tang army was so powerful when entering the heart of Tubo this time was not that the Tubo army was not brave enough. On the contrary, the Tubo army, especially the Tubo army's imperial guards, fought very tenaciously, which made Chen Wanrong admire the Tang army.

The equipment is not as good as the Tang army, which is an important reason for the Tubo army to completely annihilate. Only the imperial guards in the Tubo army are all iron armored and iron weapons. Other troops are equipped with leather armor, but not many of them use iron weapons. Many Tubo army are still using bronze weapons. When encountering the Tang army equipped with iron armored and iron weapons, the Tubo army is just a piece of paper and does not take the blame at all. The Tang army takes action, it is tantamount to a big killing.

The reason for this situation is that Tubo lacks iron. Why is Tubo lacking iron? Because Tubo does not have advanced civilization and technology. It is not that the Tubo people are not smart, but because their intelligence and talent are suppressed. Those slaves only know how to live a life of drunkenness and dreams, and are full of parasites. Those who are truly skilled and talented are those slaves. Due to their low social status, they do not pay attention to it at all. Besides, even life cannot be guaranteed, so who will work hard to create?

As Ruizong said, if Jide Zuzan abolished his slaves and used their intelligence and talents well, Tubo would definitely make a leap, and at least the army's equipment would be greatly improved.

Although Ruizong's statement was worse than Li Longji's level of civilization, it was much more wise than Princess Taiping ridicule and laugh at Jide Zuzan. In the past, Ruizong's view was not as good as Princess Taiping, but now, Ruizong's view was quite clever. Chen Wanrong was very surprised and couldn't help but look at Ruizong for a while.

Since being captured, Jide Zuzan has also reflected on it. He did not understand that the hundreds of thousands of Tubo troops and possessed a geographical advantage were defeated so miserably in front of the 100,000 Tang troops. What is the reason? He also had a lot of experience along the way.

Li Longji raised his level of civilization, and Jide Zuzan felt a little like listening to the Book of Heaven. However, his views were very similar to those of Ruizong. Slaves were an important reason for his failure. There were many skilled craftsmen among the slaves. If he abolished the slaves as soon as possible and mobilized the intelligence of the slaves, then the iron of Tubo would not need to be obtained through trade with the Tang Dynasty, and could be refined by himself.

Iron is a strategic resource. Since Emperor Wu of Han, exports have been prohibited. The Western Han Dynasty traded with the Huns, and used silk to exchange horses needed by the Western Han Dynasty, rather than using iron. Because iron would enhance the strength of the Huns' army.

This is a traditional national policy, which was used from the Western Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty. It was too difficult for Tubo to get iron from the Tang Dynasty. After hundreds of years of accumulation, it was only possible to build an imperial guard. The Tang Dynasty could only achieve the scale of the Tubo imperial guards for one or two years. It is self-evident how big the gap is.

Jide Zuzan sighed and said nothing.

Ruizong knew that he had agreed, waved his hand, came over a team of Longwu Army, and took Ji Dezu Chan away the king and his ministers. Chen Wanrong finally got a job and felt relieved.

At this point, Chen Wanrong's return was finally completed. However, the matter was far from over. Ruizong smiled and said, "Wanrong, go into the palace!"

Chen Wanrong originally wanted to say goodbye to Ruizong and go back to Zheng Mansion to check it out. He didn't see Zheng Qing for a few months, and he really missed Yiren. There was no way, so Chen Wanrong had to follow Ruizong.

After entering the Daming Palace, Ruizong did not go to Luanxiang Pavilion, but went directly to Hanyuan Hall. Hanyuan Hall was larger than Xuanzheng Hall and was used to hold a grand court meeting. Today, it was a grand court meeting, and all officials in Beijing, no matter how big or small, would come.

He came to Hanyuan Hall and congratulated the ministers. When the ministers finished their greetings, Ruizong issued an order to ask Chen Wanrong, Geshuhan, Wang Shaohua, Wang Zhongsi and Liu Fuqing to sit in front.

If we discuss the rank of the rank, Chen Wanrong and others are not qualified at all. However, Chen Wanrong and others are heroes and great heroes. The ministers think this is a matter of course.

Ruizong said with great interest: "Wanrong, the military newspaper is too brief for your battle this time. I want to know the detailed process. You must explain it. It must be detailed!"

Chen Wanrong responded and started talking. From the beginning of the Battle of Shibao City, he continued to cross Jishi Mountain, take down Doma, capture Nujiang, and then to the decisive battle. He told the story in a casual manner, and all the ministers in the palace were moved.

Especially the artillery soldiers carried the artillery forward in the rain, which made the emperor and his ministers cry. Ruizong personally examined the injuries on Chen Wanrong and the others' shoulders and feet. He looked at the scars of Chen Wanrong, Geshuhan, Wang Shaohua and Liu Fuqing, but also examined hundreds of artillery soldiers.

Everyone had scars on their shoulders. You can imagine how difficult it was to carry artillery to march that day. Ruizong and his ministers were all moved and praised in unison, "Why worry about not having such a warrior in the Tang Dynasty?"

The artillery lifted artillery once moved 100,000 Tang troops, but now it moved the monarch and ministers of Ruizong, which became a good story for a while.
Chapter completed!
