He wanted to do something for the innocent old man in the room.
He wanted to suppress Li Jiancheng and Li Shiming by himself, stop the Black Tortoise Sect's rebellion, and stop the Li family from killing each other.
He would not allow that helpless old man to see his sons kill each other in his twilight years.
He knew that the bloodlines of the Great Tang had started fighting each other after the Black Tortoise Sect. From then on, there had been constant battles between father and son, and the royal family had shed their blood.
In fact, Li Shi Min was afraid that he would be forced by a more outstanding son, so he did not hesitate to make Li Ye the Crown Prince and give the Great Tang to the Wu Clan.
As long as I, Li Zhao, am here, I don't care if you're the Crown Prince of the Great Tang or a Heaven's Favorite, you'll have to tuck your tail between your legs!
Xiao Yu looked at Li Zhao, who was looking up at the starry sky, but he did not know what kind of important decision this young man had made.
This decision would affect the fate of many people, and the future of the Great Tang would be led in an unknown direction.
……
The next day, the sky was bright. Li Yuan, who had been drunk for the entire night, finally woke up.
When he walked out of the wooden house, Li Zhao was already standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, admiring the morning scenery of the rising sun.
Hearing footsteps, Li Zhao turned around and cupped his hands slightly."Your Majesty is awake. Did you sleep well last night?”
"Good, good, good. I haven't slept so soundly in a long time. Ah Zhao, your Zhuzi Village is really a treasure land.”
Li Yuan stretched a few times and smiled. He looked much more radiant than before.
Xiao Yu coughed a few times and signaled Li Yuan with his eyes not to forget his purpose for coming.
Li Yuan thought for a moment and smiled."Ah Zhao, Zhen heard Shi Min say that you view fame and fortune as fleeting clouds. You don't like officialdom and only want to roam the mountains.”
"I sincerely admire your free and easy character. I should understand you and not force you.”
"However, the Great Tang is in a state of chaos, and the Turks in the north are still powerful. There are also powerful enemies like Tuyuhun and Goguryeo surrounding us.”
"The Great Tang, I, and the people of the world need a peerless genius like you to be the pillar of our Great Tang!”
"Therefore, I still want to ask you to be an official for the sake of the common people of the world and assist me in creating the prosperous era of the Great Tang.”
Li Yuan's eloquent speech finally explained his intentions.
Ever since he drank with Li Zhao last night and personally witnessed Li Zhao's bearing and strength of character, he had never been as eager as he was now to see this young genius come out of the mountain to be used by him.
Xiao Yu, who was standing at the side, was sweating. If Li Zhao refused even the Emperor's personal invitation, how would he resolve the awkwardness if the Emperor was embarrassed?
Why are we going back to Chang 'an?"
Li Zhao's tone was calm as he replied to Li Yuan's kind invitation with a casual question.
Li Yuan was stunned. He looked at Xiao Yu in surprise, as if he was asking his old minister if he had heard wrongly.
Xiao Yu was also dumbfounded.
The two of them had never expected that Li Zhao would actually agree to Li Yuan's invitation to leave the mountain!
Moreover, he agreed so readily!
In a daze, the two of them thought they had heard wrongly.
"Brother Zhao, the luggage is packed. When are we going to Chang 'an?”
Outside the courtyard, Zhao Xun and his grandson were driving a wooden ox cart to a stop outside the door. Zhao Yu 'er stood up and shouted, her beautiful face full of longing.
"Your Majesty, my sister Yu 'er is urging you. When does Your Majesty plan to leave?”Li Zhao smiled and looked at Li Zhao.
Li Yuan was finally convinced that his ears had not heard wrongly. This young genius was actually willing to come out of the mountain to assist him.
"Ah Zhao, you actually really…really…"
Li Yuan was overjoyed, so excited that he didn't know what to say.
Although Xiao Yu was also pleasantly surprised, he was much calmer. He cupped his hands at Li Yuan and said with a smile,"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for bringing out a pillar that supports the heavens for the Great Tang. This is a blessing for the Great Tang and its people!”
Li Yuan laughed and pulled Li Zhao's hand. He said happily,""Ah Zhao, let's go back to Chang 'an now.”
Immediately, Li Yuan told the imperial guards to prepare the carriage and actually brought Li Zhao to ride in a carriage all the way out of the village.
"Look, that young man is sitting in the same carriage as the emperor of the Great Tang!”
"What kind of glory is this? I heard that even the Crown Prince and the King of Qin have never enjoyed such treatment.”
"That young genius nurtured the Prosperous Age wheat and blessed the world. Of course he deserves such an honor.”
"I heard that young man might be the young God of War who took the head of Jie Li from the army of ten thousand soldiers.”
"Really? Then Tian Zi has obtained a rare genius!”
The commoners who came to the Village of Zhuzi to buy seeds clicked their tongues in amazement. They were filled with respect for Li Zhao and actually prostrated themselves by the side of the road.
They were paying their respects to the Emperor of the Great Tang, as well as the young hero Li Zhao.
In fact, in their eyes, Li Zhao's status was even greater than that of Emperor Li Yuan.
Whoever solved the problem of feeding the people was the true emperor in the hearts of the people.
Li Zhao looked back at the Village of Zhuzi that was gradually disappearing into the distance. He looked at the villagers who were waving goodbye. Although he was reluctant to part with them, he did not hesitate at all.
"My fellow villagers who raised me, wait for me. When I'm done with what I should do, I, Li Zhao, will definitely come back…"
