Chang 'an City, the Imperial Palace.
At night, the golden hall was already filled with lanterns.
The ministers of the Great Tang had not yet dispersed, waiting anxiously.
Li Yuan, who was sitting on the Dragon Throne, twirled his white beard as he kept looking outside the hall. His eyes were filled with hope and worry.
He was waiting for Li Zhao's triumphant return.
During the day, Li Zhao made a bold statement that he would rely on his own strength to lift the siege of Dingxiang within a day and bring Ashina Simo's head to see him.
As a young God of War, Li Zhao had a unique martial arts background. If he could solve the siege of Chang 'an, he would definitely be able to solve the siege of Dingxiang. Li Yuan was not worried about this.
However, Li Yuan was a little worried that he would be able to travel thousands of miles in a day.
Was that machine-operated bird really that fast?
" God of War, God of War is back!"
Outside the main hall, the clamor of the royal guards broke the silence of the golden hall.
Everyone's expression changed.
Li Yuan's eyes were filled with joy. He stood up and rushed out of the hall in a few steps.
Li Jiancheng and Li Shiming followed him out of the hall with complicated feelings.
Dingxiang was in danger, so the two of them were naturally worried and hoped that Li Zhao could help them out.
However, Li Zhao had already revealed his identity as the young God of War. In addition, he had solved the siege of Dingxiang in one day, which was enough to suppress all the opposition. At that time, no one could stop the emperor from making him the Marquis Champion and the General of the Divine Book.
Of course, Li Zhao would become the third faction of the Great Tang, and the two brothers would naturally be unwilling to share their power.
Under the illumination of the flames, the giant bird in the sky slowly landed on the square in front of the hall under the gazes of everyone.
Three people came down from the machine-operated bird. One of them was a young girl, and the other two, besides Li Zhao, was also Prince Jiang Xia, Li Daozong.
The officials began to discuss. The meaning behind Li Daozong's appearance was self-evident.
"I have already resolved the siege of Dingxiang and killed the enemy general Ashina Simo.”
Li Zhao stepped forward and reported to Li Yuan with cupped hands.
Li Daozong quickly followed and cupped his hands."Your Majesty, at that time, my Dingxiang was in a critical situation and was about to fall. Fortunately, Li Lang arrived in time and used his divine might to scare off 80,000 Turkic soldiers and cut Ashina Simo into pieces. I was afraid that the officials in the court would not believe me, so I specially came back to be a witness for Li Lang.”
Li Yuan was overjoyed.
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's expressions changed.
The rest of the civil and military officials were in an uproar.
In a single day, he had run a thousand li, single-handedly defeated eighty thousand Turkic soldiers, and even killed the Turkic Great General!
This kind of unimaginable skill had already shocked all the officials to the extreme.
"Li Qing, please don't be polite!"
Li Yuan hurriedly went down the steps to help Li Zhao up. His old eyes were actually filled with excited tears.
At that moment, he looked at the young hero in front of him. In a flash, he seemed to see his beloved son, Yuan Ba.
Even Yuan Ba's rebirth might not be able to achieve such a remarkable feat.
"Li Qing, Li Qing…"
Li Yuan held Li Zhao's hand and sobbed emotionally, not knowing what to say.
Behind him, Li Shi Min looked at Li Zhao's magnanimous figure, his eyes filled with fear.
In fact, they could even vaguely see the feeling of heroes cherishing each other.
He was a prodigy of his generation, the King of Qin of the Great Tang, and also a hero who dared to charge into battle.
When a hero met another hero, they naturally had the heart to appreciate each other.
He took a deep breath and cupped his hands."Imperial Father, Li Zhao has performed extraordinary feats twice and saved countless soldiers and civilians of the Great Tang. Your son believes that Li Zhao is worthy of the title of Marquis Champion and General of the Divine Book!”
Hearing this, everyone's expression changed as they looked at Li Shiming in shock.
Even Li Yuan was surprised. He didn't expect Li Shimin to take the initiative to stand up and agree to reward Li Zhao.
This was his bearing!
Li Zhao had made great contributions to the Great Tang. If he, Li Shimin, had opposed Li Yuan's reward for Li Zhao out of selfishness, how could he have created the prosperous Zhenguan Era and achieved the reputation of being the one emperor in history?
"You have some bearing…"
Li Zhao glanced at Li Shi Min, his eyes revealing a hint of admiration.
With Li Shimin leading the way, the ministers of King Qin's Mansion stepped forward and asked Li Yuan to make Li Zhao the Marquis Champion and the Divine Book General.
Faced with such a situation, Li Jiancheng's face was ashen and he did not say anything.
Just now, his Eastern Palace faction was the first to raise an issue and oppose Li Zhao's reward, but now they changed their words and agreed. Where was his face?
He couldn't take it lying down, so he could only neither oppose nor support it.
"Your Majesty, I take back what I said during the day. I ask Your Majesty to confer Li Lang the title of Marquis Champion and General of the Divine Book!”
Suddenly, an unexpected voice sounded.
As the Crown Prince, Wei Zheng actually stood out and took the initiative to overthrow his previous advice.
Li Jiancheng was shocked and glared at Wei Zheng with anger.
Li Yuan was also surprised and asked,""Wei Zheng, you were the first one to stand up against Zhen's reward of Li Qing. Why did you change your mind now?”
Wei Zheng did not look ashamed. He said frankly," I have always been impartial. Previously, I did not know Li Lang's identity as the young God of War. Now that the truth has been revealed, Li Lang's contribution is enough to deserve the title of Champion Marquis and General of the Divine Book. I have no reason to object!"”
After saying that, Wei Zheng turned to Li Zhao.
"The Marquis Champion is a young hero. He saved the soldiers and civilians of the Great Tang twice and raised the prestige of the Great Tang.”
"I was blind when I objected just now and didn't recognize the Marquis Champion. If I offended you, please accept Wei Zheng's bow!”
This remonstrant who left his name in history and became a model for future generations bowed deeply towards Li Zhao.
Thank you for your support.
