Chapter 1056 Chang'an, We Are Back (Thanks to Tts Coke for the Reward)

Tang Dezong sent Li Chun, the king of Guangling County, ten miles out of Chang'an to welcome Guo Xin, Shen Long and his party, and issued an imperial decree to commend them again at the Shili Pavilion outside the city.

After hearing this, the soldiers shed tears of excitement again. The white-haired old soldiers knelt on the ground and looked in the direction of Chang'an, murmuring, "Chang'an, we are back!"

Young and young, the old and the old return home, the local accent has not changed, and the mane hair has faded. When they first left Chang'an, there was only a little green beard on their lips, but now, the beard on the chin has begun to turn gray. The most beautiful thing in life Thirty years have been dedicated to the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions. Now that they see Chang'an after a long absence, they can still hold back.

"Uncle, Yuanzheng, the two of you and these soldiers have worked hard in the Western Regions for many years. I thank you all on behalf of Your Majesty!" Li Chun, the king of Guangling County, bowed deeply to these soldiers, and then wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. The sight moved me.

Li Chun had just taken the daughters of Dai Guogong Guo An and Princess Shengping as princesses this year, and Guo Xin was Guo An's cousin. From this perspective, it is reasonable for Li Chun to call Guo Xin his uncle.

This action won the favor of Guo Xin and Shen Long. They made a few words and began to chat with Li Chun. Guo Xin didn't know, but Shen Long knew very well that Tang Dezong was very old now, and the crown prince Li Song was in very bad health. Not good, after Tang Dezong died, Li Chun changed his name to Li Chun and was canonized as the platform. Li had only been the emperor for a few months and gave up the throne to Li Chun.

During Li Chun's reign, he made great efforts to govern, reused the virtuous, reformed the bad government, worked diligently in political affairs, and tried his best to rejuvenate, thus achieving great results in Yuanhe's reduction of feudal clans and revitalizing the prestige of the central government. It is called "Yuanhe Zhongxing" in history. After serving as emperor for more than ten years, he died at only forty-three years old.

If you give him some more time, maybe Datang will not look like that in the future, and can reproduce the grand occasions of Zhenguan and Kaiyuan. Shen Long feels sorry for this.

But it's too early now, Li Chun is only a boy who is only sixteen or seventeen years old, Shen Long has a lot of ways to help him recuperate his body, so that he can live longer than in history.

"Thank you for your kindness, the king of the county. It is a matter of course to serve us in the Tang Dynasty! It's just that these soldiers have fought in the Western Regions for many years, and now it's time for them to go home to live up to their old age. I hope the king of the county can help me out." The two sides discussed. The performance was not bad, Shen Long took the opportunity to make a request, he brought these white-haired soldiers back this time, he just hoped that they could stay, they have paid too much for Datang, now it is time to take a good rest.

When Li Chun was six or seven years old, Tang Dezong held him on his lap and asked him, "Whose child are you, why are you in my arms?" Li Chun said, "I am the third emperor." Tang Dezong liked him very much. , and because of Prince Li Song's poor health, Tang Dezong let Li Chun participate in political affairs very early.

And since Tang Dezong asked Li Chun to welcome them this time,

Then it is very reasonable for Li Chun to report his request to Tang Dezong, so Shen Long said so.

"This is what it should mean. This king will definitely say it in front of His Majesty." Such loyal soldiers should not only let them spend their days near Chang'an, but also reward them so that they can take care of themselves when they grow old. After the child grows up, he will definitely become a loyal soldier of Datang, right? Li Chun thought of this in an instant.

"Uncle has also been in the Western Regions for many years. Since he is back this time, he should stay in Chang'an!" Li Chun held Guo Xin's hand and said, now that the feudal town is a disaster, and most of the famous generals of the older generation have withered, the court is short of a man who is familiar with the military, There are also prestigious names who will sit in the center, and Guo Xin is Guo Ziyi's nephew, the Guo family has far-reaching influence in the army, and he has made such great achievements this time, it is really suitable for him to take on this important task.

Shen Long nodded slightly at the side, seeing this shows that Li Chun's political talent is good, no wonder he can rejuvenate the Tang Dynasty in the future, if Guo Xin stays in Chang'an, relying on his family and seniority, presumably those outside the town will also Are you concerned?

Then Li Chun went to meet Prince Bahana, Gu Dulu, Kang Guangde and other foreign generals one by one, and encouraged them a lot, which greatly demonstrated the courage of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Highness, the prince is really a god-like figure, and he really deserves to be the prince of the Tang Dynasty!" The prince Bahan was a little ashamed in front of Li Chun. After he finished speaking, Gu Dulu, Kang Guangde and others nodded again and again. Their demeanor and conversation also made them admire.

After Li Chun passed by, a familiar face suddenly appeared in front of Shen Long, and Lu Shisi greeted him with a big smile, "Master Guo, you are finally back!"

"Haha, Lu Shishi!" Shen Long sized him up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You've gained a lot of weight, right? If you're asked to pick up a horizontal knife and fight against the Tubo people now, you're afraid you won't be able to fight Bar?"

"The food in Chang'an supports people! But as long as you, Master Guo, say something, I will fight the Tubo people with you!" Lu Shisi said, patting his chest, "Now I have sent all the family letters to their families. I have no worries, I can go to the Western Regions with you!"

As he spoke, his eye circles began to turn red again, as if he remembered the scene when he sent the family letter to the homes of those comrades. Some of them cried bitterly after receiving the family letter, and some family members had already passed away. Lu Shishi could only sit in front of the grave Burn the family letter to them.

"You're getting old, we don't want an old man like you in the Duhufu. If you marry a wife and have a baby, I'd like to accept it when the baby grows up!" Shen Long joked, he had already paid enough, Let him stay in Chang'an.

"I'm married, I'm married! I have two babies! Come on, come here, this is the Master Guo I often tell you about. If it wasn't for Master Guo, I wouldn't be able to go back to Datang!" Lu Shisi waved his hand His wife called over, and his wife was holding two children, a boy and a girl, and was looking at Shen Long curiously.

"When I'm done, I'll go to your house, let's have a good drink." Shen Long took out two greeting gifts from his arms and handed them to the child. Fortunately, he had seized a lot before, otherwise it would be embarrassing this time.

"This time we won't go home without getting drunk!" Lu Shishi was very happy to see that Shen Long didn't alienate him because of his promotion.

After the greetings were over, Li Chun led them into Chang'an City officially. They were filled with emotion when they saw the stone tablet outside the city that was only 9,990 miles away from Anxi. They had just watched this stone tablet when they left Chang'an. Yes, I didn't expect that it would be thirty years since I came back again.

But no matter how long it took, they finally came home.
