Shili Pavilion outside Chang'an.

Under the leadership of the Ministry of Rites, Guo Zhiyun, Pei Min and Gongren walked towards the Shili Pavilion where the Crown Prince Li Ying was.

Pei Min didn't have a deep impression of Li Ying, but he just knew that Li Ying had given Li Longji death.

There is an extremely serious problem in the court now. The queen has no children: Empress Wang is Li Longji's first wife, virtuous and virtuous, and has the style of Empress Changsun. She has greatly helped Li Longji in times of distress. But for some reason, Empress Wang was unable to have a pregnancy and has no children so far. This also means that the position of the crown prince cannot be determined according to the law of inheritance of the eldest son.

Li Ying is Li Longji's second son. After Li Longji took real power, his eldest son Li Tan was injured on his face while hunting in the garden and had severe scars on his face, which was broken.

The emperor was disgraced, and his second son Li Ying was promoted to the crown prince.

The reason why Li Ying gave death in history is quite nonsense.

Li Longji had a concubine who was Wu Zetian's granddaughter. Because her father died early, she was protected by Wu Zetian and grew up in the palace. She was very passionate about palace fighting and was scheming. Because of her charming and understanding appearance, she was deeply favored by Li Longji as Concubine Wu Hui.

Concubine Wu Hui wanted her son to become the crown prince to control the rudder of the world.

On a certain day, Concubine Wu Hui told Li Ying that there were thieves in the palace and asked Li Ying to help catch the thief.

Without saying a word, Li Ying led Li Yao, Li Ju and the three brothers to put on armor and enter the palace to capture the thief.

On the other hand, Wu Huifei said to Li Longji, "The prince and the two kings are going to rebel! They entered the palace wearing iron armor..."

Then Li Longji sentenced his three sons to death.

The entire process fully reflects Li Ying's ignorance and Li Longji's almost idiotic and ignorant belief in the people he trusts.

The palace courtyard is in trouble, and a prince needs to take action?

And the three sons entered the palace wearing armor, which was a rebellion? Or were they sentenced to death?

The plot that is ridiculous than the Qing palace dramas in later generations actually appears in history.

Pei Min thought about this past, and didn't know whether he should laugh at the prince Li Ying as a stubborn or the emperor Li Longji as a mentally retarded.

Perhaps Li Ying was not as wise as Prince Zhanghuai back then, and was a idiot. So although Li Longji's fault in his unjust death, no one complained about him.

While thinking about it, Pei Min came to the suburbs of Chang'an nearby.

From a distance, the flags are everywhere and the scale is grand.

A figure in a yellow python robe looked at them outside the Shili Pavilion.

The official in charge of contacting the Ministry of Rites was Pei Min's elder brother He Zhizhang. He looked at the triumphant return with a smile and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is welcome to you all the triumphants ahead."

Pei Min and others had already learned the news and prepared enough etiquette, and also dismounted and walked to meet the crown prince Li Ying.

On this occasion, Pei Min did not talk to He Zhizhang, but just made a gesture of drinking.

As the number one drunkard, He Zhizhang understood it with his heart.

They came close by. Li Ying looked at the generals in military uniforms and was very powerful and couldn't help but take a step back.

He was just ten years old and was in the palace compound where he had seen such a scene.

"I've seen His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Pei Min, Guo Zhiyun, and Lu Gongren also greeted Li Ying with military salute.

The soldiers behind him also worshiped in unison.

Pei Min wore Mingguang armor, and there were special regulations throughout the dynasties that soldiers wearing armor could face him without a big gift, just bow.

He bent down a little, just in time to see the fear on Li Ying's chubby face. Although he should not be too harsh on a ten-year-old child, as the crown prince, he should not be outstanding, at least not too mediocre.

Seeing that all the soldiers saluted him, Li Ying realized that his identity was the crown prince, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, who was less than one person and more than ten thousand people. He was a little braver and said loudly: "You will recover the lost territory for the Tang Dynasty, broaden the territory, and have outstanding achievements. They are indeed my great ministers of the Tang Dynasty. Please give up the gifts quickly..."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

After Pei Min and his party thanked the gift, they entered the imperial city again under the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites.

It is less than a year before the celebration, but the people of Chang'an still show great enthusiasm.

Especially this victory is about regaining lost territory and expanding territory. The Tang Dynasty has not experienced this glory for twenty or thirty years.

Thinking back to the time when Emperor Taizong fought against the four barbarians and surrendered to the four barbarians, Emperor Gaozong conquered the largest Chinese territory from ancient times to the present. However, when Emperor Wu Hou Dynasty was bullied by Tubo and slapped the Turks in the face. Even the small Xi tribe Khitan stepped on the head to show off his power, which was a great shame.

Now the new emperor has been in power for only a few years. He first regained Liaodong from the Xi tribe and the Khitan, and now he has recovered Jiuqu land in Hexi.

The people still vaguely felt that the Tang Dynasty of the past was back, and the dynasty that made the four barbarians scared showed its fangs again.

Celebrating victory is not enough.

As always, the army passed Zhuque Street and went straight to the imperial palace Taimiao. What welcoming them was three essential things: worshiping the world, offering prisoners to the Taimiao, and parading the military parade of Chengtianmen.

While offering prisoners to Taimiao, Pei Min noticed that Guo Zhiyun beside him was a little abnormal and seemed to be unable to hold on.

This veteran was sick, so how could he withstand such boring and complicated etiquette?

Pei Min hurriedly helped him and asked the soldiers to take him to the Imperial Medical Office for rest.

Fortunately, the focus of the prisoner offering ceremony was on the prisoners rather than Pei Min and his group. Their abnormal movements did not affect the progress of the ceremony.

However, Guo Zhiyun's strangeness was seen in the eyes of civil and military officials, and each had his own plans.

Guo Zhiyun could not hold on, and as the deputy commander, Pei Min was naturally commanded by him.

This time Pei Min stood up with her head held high, which was not qualified before, and now he has a clear conscience.

After the military parade, Li Longji held a banquet in Wude Hall, and almost all the senior officials of the third rank and above were invited to be guests. This shows how much attention the Li family Sanlang attached to this great victory.

Pei Min looked at Song Jing, who was in the chief, and knew that Yao Chong had just given him the truth, and he had a small regret in his heart.

Yao Chong is such a person. While admiring and agreeing with his talents, his character and character are unacceptable to you.

This victorious banquet was naturally filled with laughter and joy.

Pei Min was a little restless. He wanted to go home more than this celebration banquet to see his mother, wife and children who had not yet been born.

It was not until night fell that the banquet ended.

Pei Min couldn't wait to leave, Gao Lishi walked quickly and followed, shouting: "Duke Pei Guo, Duke Pei Guo, please stay!"

Pei Min really wanted to pretend that he didn't hear it, so he turned around and said, "Eunuch Gao, you can't think that you didn't see me!"

Gao Lishi smiled and said, "Your Majesty has invited you, so I dare not neglect you. Don't worry, Your Majesty respects you very much, and will definitely understand the Duke's desire to go home, and it will not be delayed for too long."

"Okay!" Pei Min responded and followed Gao Lishi helplessly.

The two chatted all the way.
Chapter completed!
