Chapter 650: The Eighth Prince returns to Beijing, shocking Li Shimin!
Because, it can be said that Li Chengfeng single-handedly changed the situation on the battlefield in Youzhou City and defeated the 800,000-strong Alliance Alliance Army.
With such great achievements, it is possible to directly crown Li Chengfeng as king.
But because Li Chengfeng is still too young, and because he and Li Shimin still have a bet for another year, Li Chengfeng estimates that Li Shimin will not make him a king so early, but will give him a lot of money and rewards.
In addition, Li Shimin himself is also an old fox.
He has been trying to find ways to use the money in Li Chengfeng's hands to the national treasury.
Although he never succeeded, he always kept in mind that Li Chengfeng was always on guard.
Moreover, if Li Chengfeng loses to Li Shimin in the bet, then all of Li Chengfeng's money will be confiscated. At that time, all of Li Chengfeng's money will still be in Li Shimin's pocket.
Li Shimin can be said to be very scheming.
…
Soon, Li Chengfeng escorted Li Lizhi all the way back to the palace of Chang'an City.
Along the way, when Li Chengfeng returned, he was loved and surrounded by the people on Chang'an Avenue.
Because they knew that it was the Eighth Prince who led the army to fight in Youzhou City to defeat the coalition forces of Tibet and Tubo, so Li Chengfeng protected them. How could they not love Li Chengfeng?
However, when they saw the newly married Princess Changle sitting behind Li Chengfeng.
All the people were collectively dumbfounded.
Well, didn’t Princess Changle just get married? Why was she brought back by the Eighth Prince again?
Is this wrong?
Could it be that the Eighth Prince kidnapped his bride?
this……
Although everyone was confused, they did not dare to say too much.
…
The fact that Li Chengfeng led his 3,000 Xuanjia troops back to Beijing quickly reached Li Shimin's ears.
When Li Chengfeng returned, Li Shimin knew that the battle in Youzhou City was definitely won.
"Report to your Majesty that the Eighth Prince and his companions are back. The Eighth Prince, with his army, has returned to Chang'an City!"
A soldier came to the court and spoke to Li Shimin respectfully.
After Li Shimin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted: "Okay, okay!"
Li Shimin shouted hello three times and continued: "The Eighth Prince has led his army back. This can prove that we have won the battle of Youzhou City in the Tang Dynasty. We have defended Youzhou City in the Tang Dynasty! The Eighth Prince is a hero!
"
Li Shimin was beaming with joy and did not hide the smile on his face at all.
At first, Li Shimin thought that Li Chengfeng went to Youzhou City to cause trouble, but now, he has completely changed his view of Li Chengfeng.
Because Li Shimin had read in Li Jing's letters that Li Jing was injured when an arrow fell from his horse. During the battle with the 800,000 troops of the Tui Alliance, the eighth prince himself was actually commanding the whole time.
Therefore, most of the credit for the victory in Youzhou City belongs to the Eighth Prince himself.
And the eighth prince Li Chengfeng is Li Shimin's biological son, so how can Li Shimin be unhappy? He suddenly felt that his face was extremely glorious, that little brat Li Chengfeng had finally gained some face for him!
"Hahaha, the Eighth Prince is back, that's great! That's great!"
Li Shimin laughed and spoke.
"Your Majesty, I'm so happy! The Eighth Prince is able to lead troops to fight at a young age. He is the most talented person in the Tang Dynasty in terms of his literary skills and military skills!"
Du Ruhui, who was under the court, praised.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "It's just a naughty kid, but this time, he has made a great contribution. I will reward him heavily!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I deserve a reward this time!"
Du Ruhui spoke in agreement.
The expressions on the faces of the civil and military officials gradually became cheerful and laughing.
Because they know that if Youzhou City wins the first battle, then there will definitely be peace for a long time in the following days.
However, the guard who reported the report continued: "But, your Majesty, the Eighth Prince is back, and he seems to still have that..."
"Hey, I know, the ninth princess of Tubo. Isn't the eighth prince going to Youzhou City just to find the ninth princess of Tubo, Songtsan Lanye?"
Before the guard could finish speaking, Li Shimin interrupted him.
Li Shimin continued: "Then let him take it with him. As long as the ninth princess of Tubo wants to take her with her in the Tang Dynasty, I will not stop her. She can stay as long as she wants! This is a gift I gave to the eighth prince.
Rewarded!"
"No, Your Majesty..." The guard wanted to say that the Eighth Prince had not only returned with the Ninth Princess of Tubo, he had even returned with Princess Changle of the Tang Dynasty.
But Li Shimin still waved his hand, interrupted his words, and said: "Okay, okay, stop talking, I know what I should do!"
"Speaking of the victory in the battle of Youzhou City, I, Feng'er, must be the number one contributor! Can I go out of the palace to greet him now and give him enough face?"
"Come here, please drive out of the palace to welcome the return of the Eighth Prince!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin shouted domineeringly, and everyone nodded in unison.
Later, they followed Li Shimin out of the palace to welcome Li Chengfeng back.
…
"By the way, where is the Eighth Prince now?"
As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, Li Shimin asked the guard.
The guard said: "Reporting to your Majesty, I met the Eighth Prince and his army on Chang'an Avenue an hour ago. I think the Eighth Prince will arrive at the palace in less than half an hour!"
"Okay, then I will wait here for him to come back, give him a good welcome, and then have a celebration party!"
Li Shimin was waiting with joy for Li Chengfeng's return.
Sure enough, half an hour later.
Li Shimin saw Li Chengfeng riding a red horse, walking directly in front of a black army.
At this moment, there was already a hint of masculine determination on his young face.
And Li Shimin didn't expect that the 3,000 Xuanjia army he had given to Li Chengfeng could really become an iron-blooded army now?
Li Shimin saw that behind Li Chengfeng, there was a woman wearing red clothes.
But Li Shimin didn't see the woman's face clearly and thought she was the ninth princess of Tubo.
It's good to come back and win the battle. As for the ninth princess of Tubo, as long as she is not an undercover agent sent by Tubo, as long as Li Chengfeng likes it, she can stay in Datang as long as she wants.
Moreover, if Li Chengfeng likes her, it wouldn't be a bad idea to personally act as a matchmaker and reward them with a marriage contract in the future.
"Haha, Your Majesty, look, it's the Eighth Prince. The Eighth Prince is back!"
On the side, Du Ruhui stroked his beard and laughed.
Li Shimin nodded slightly and said: "Well, yes, I saw it! The eighth prince is back. That boy has indeed grown up a lot!"
"Hey, but why does the girl behind the Eighth Prince look so familiar to me?"
