Chang 'an City.
At noon, the emperor's carriage carried Li Yuan and Li Zhao into Chang 'an.
The news that the emperor had personally gone to Longshou Mountain to invite a young genius to come out of the mountain had spread like wildfire, and the entire Chang 'an was shocked.
For a moment, Chang 'an was filled with people. Tens of thousands of scholars and people crowded on both sides of the imperial road, wanting to see the young genius's elegant demeanor.
When they saw that the emperor of the Great Tang was riding in the same carriage as the young prodigy, cries of surprise rose and fell from the city gate to the Imperial Palace.
"Is that handsome young man the young man who planted the Prosperous Age Barley?”
"Isn't that so? He's much more heroic than I imagined. He doesn't look like a mountain youth at all!”
"I think he's at most fifteen years old. To actually be able to make such achievements that benefit the people, he's really an extraordinary person.”
"Otherwise, why would the emperor personally invite him out of the mountain and even ride back to the capital with him, giving him such great favor?”
"I wonder if this young man will join the Crown Prince or Prince Qin's Mansion in the end.”
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Zhao's expression was as calm as water, turning a blind eye, and his heart did not waver at all.
He could come and go freely in a hundred thousand strong army, so why would he care about the discussions of the commoners?
"Grandpa, I didn't expect Brother Zhao to be so popular. We've also benefited from it. I never dreamed that so many people would look up to and talk about it ~"
However, Zhao Yu-er could not calm down. She was so excited that she did not stop talking.
Zhao Xun smiled but didn't say anything. He looked at the handsome back of the car in front with a meaningful gaze. His brows were filled with anticipation.
At this moment, he was sincerely glad that he had chosen the right tycoon. He had a deep premonition that the revival of the Jet-Black Sect and the return of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy were not far away.
The people lined the streets to welcome him, and the imperial carriage arrived at a large courtyard near the Imperial City.
In order to welcome Li Zhao's arrival, Li Yuan had already ordered people to clean out this luxurious manor in advance and specially bestowed it to Li Zhao as a manor.
After personally escorting Li Zhao into the manor, Li Yuan instructed Li Zhao to rest well. He would go to the Imperial Palace to meet the Emperor during the morning court session so that he could announce Li Zhao's reward in front of all the civil and military officials.
After sending off the Emperor, the doors of the manor closed, leaving only Li Zhao, Zhao Yu-er, and a few other close neighbors from the Zhuzi Village.
"Such a big house is even more luxurious than in my dreams. Brother Zhao, it's all thanks to you that we can live in such a wealthy house ~"
Zhao Yu 'er hugged Li Zhao's arm, her eyes filled with gratitude.
"Alright, cut the crap. Hurry up and clean up the house.”Zhao Xun smiled and patted his granddaughter's head.
Zhao Yu 'er made a face at her grandfather and happily went to move her luggage and clean up the wealthy family's courtyard.
Li Zhao sat in the courtyard and sipped a few mouthfuls of ale. Looking at Zhao Yu 'er and the others' happy expressions, he felt a wave of relief in his heart.
……
Prince Qin's mansion.
Li Shimin was playing chess with Zhangsun Wuji while Fang Xuanling was watching from the side.
"Your Highness, His Majesty has invited that young genius back to Chang 'an. He is now living in a residence bestowed by the Emperor.”
Yuchi Gong, who had hurried over, brought this shocking news to Li Shimin.
Li Shi Min was shocked. The chess piece in his hand fell from his hand, and his face was filled with deep surprise.
He obviously didn't expect that his father, Li Yuan, would actually invite that young genius back.
"What a surprise. I wonder what method His Majesty used to actually invite him out?”Zhangsun Wuji also clicked his tongue in wonder, his face filled with surprise.
At this moment, Fang Xuanling said," No matter what methods His Majesty has used, Li Zhao's entry into the court is a foregone conclusion. Such a rare genius, the pillar of the country, will either enter our Heavenly Policy Upper Mansion or the Crown Prince's Mansion. Your Highness must be one step ahead and take him under your command."”
"Xuan Ling is right. Prepare a horse for this king immediately!”
Li Shi Min threw away the chess piece in his hand and jumped off the bed. He didn't even have time to put on his boots and ran out of the door.
……
In the Eastern Palace.
Strands of music lingered around the beam. In the warm pavilion of the rear residence, a few dancers were dancing.
Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qi Li Yuanji were drinking wine and enjoying the singing and dancing.
"Retreat, all of you retreat!"
At this moment, an angry voice sounded. A scholar rushed in angrily and stopped the dance.
"Wei Zheng, you are getting more and more impudent. How dare you interrupt the Crown Prince's elegant mood!”
King Qi Li Yuanji grumbled unhappily.
Although Li Jiancheng did not say anything, he smashed his wine glass on the table to show his displeasure.
Wei Zheng's face was livid." Your Highness, do you still have the mood to drink and listen to music at a time like this? Your Highness, do you know that His Majesty has already invited that young genius back to Chang 'an? He will soon issue an edict to confer him an official title!”
"What?!" Li Jiancheng jumped up with a face full of disbelief." What method did Imperial Father use to actually invite that kid out?”
"This is no longer important. This child has grown the golden wheat and brought benefits to the people of the world. His prestige is so great that he will definitely become an important figure in the court. Your Highness must pull such a person into the Eastern Palace before the King of Qin does.”
Wei Zheng's tone was solemn, as if he had already regarded Li Zhao as the key to determining the outcome of the battle between the Crown Prince and the King of Qin.
Li Jiancheng shivered and jumped up, shouting,""Quickly prepare the horses, quickly prepare the horses for bengong!”
