Li Chunfeng, Shangguan Tingzhi, Luo Binwang, Wang Bo, Yao Chong...
Li Zhi never dreamed that he would meet several celebrities from the Tang Dynasty in a restaurant in Lantian County just for a casual stroll.
Of course, Li Zhi has seen a lot over the years, and he won't get excited just because he meets a few famous people.
Objectively speaking, among the five people here, the most famous at this time is naturally Li Chunfeng who is in the "Qintian Prison", followed by King Luo Bin and Shangguan Tingzhi.
As for Wang Bo, his talent was revealed early. When he was still a minor, he was praised as a child prodigy by Liu Xiangdao, the Taichang Bo, who was in charge of the punishment.
Of course, in this era where everything depends on family status, the reason why Wang Bo can stand out is inseparable from the power of his family.
The Wang family in Taiyuan is one of the seven families with five surnames, and Wang Bo's biological grandfather was Wang Tong and Wang Zhongyan, the great thinkers and educators in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties. He was a leading figure in the literary world at that time.
Relatively speaking, Yao Chong is the least conspicuous at this time.
He was just a fellow villager of Shangguan Tingzhi, both from Shaanxian County, Shaanxi Province. Out of the desire to support the younger generations in the village, Shangguan Tingzhi brought Yao Chong to this occasion.
Historical records record that when Yao Chong was young, he was free and easy by nature, focused on integrity, practiced martial arts diligently, and entertained himself with hunting. Only after he was twenty years old did he study hard.
And Li Zhi met Yao Chong today, but he had just studied behind closed doors at home for half a year, and then came to attend Qiu Wei.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, they are all the pillars of the Tang Dynasty! I think it was because Luo Guanguang had a dispute with his boss that he was not tolerated by Yousi. Is this because he was reprimanded?"
Li Chunfeng was the one who firmly supported Li Zhi. As for Shangguan Tingzhi, he accepted his daughter as his disciple. From now on, the Shangguan family would be considered close friends.
Li Zhi saw how extraordinary your little girl is, but he didn't expect that the little girl is a person who can "weigh the world's scholars".
Yao Chong and Wang Bo, who were only twenty years old anyway, still had to go to Beijing to attend the Autumn Palace, but it was King Luo Bin.
He was from a truly poor family. He was more than ten years younger than Li Zhi and had just passed his thirties. His weathered face looked comparable to that of the older Shangguan Tingzhi.
King Luo Bin was stabbed on the spot. It was the first time he met someone. His face was red and white, but he couldn't express it.
"Let's do this. Your character and literary talent are both excellent. Don't go to the place where you were demoted. Come back to Chang'an with me tomorrow. How about being a teacher for my son at home for the time being?"
"Teacher", if you take the position of guest-teacher in time and serve as a teacher to little Chenxiang, then you are a proper crown prince.
Li Zhi was very emotional about King Luo Bin's "life". Although he exists in this world, there is absolutely no possibility of a "rebellion" in another time and space.
However, for someone like King Luo Bin who is somewhat talented but also has a "stinky and tough" temper, he may really end up in the world.
"Haha, it's time to go sightseeing. Why don't you thank me quickly? From now on, your boy's fortune will turn around——"
It's Li Chunfeng again who is "old and ungrateful". How many times has this happened tonight?
"Ahem, this noble man, Luo, is not talented. He has also read articles for several years. It is necessary to know that 'it is better to take what is straight than to seek from the truth. Although I have been criticized, it is the law of the imperial court. How can it be? The noble man can abolish it with just a few words..."
Well, you really have a bad temper, and you would rather break than bend?
"Haha, okay, what a spirit! Now, I would like to introduce myself. My surname is Li Mingzhi. I am the ninth eldest child in my family. I have just been the leader of the Tang Dynasty for seven years. Can you arrange a place for sightseeing?"
Li Zhi was really angry at King Luo Bin.
He originally didn't want to reveal his identity, not for safety reasons. With his current cultivation level, he even went to the demon-killing battlefield in heaven. What else was there to be afraid of on his own territory? It's just that it's troublesome to reveal your identity.
I met these great talents here today and accepted disciples like Shangguan Wan'er. In order to "put pressure" on King Luo Bin, this stubborn donkey,
Simply reveal the emperor's identity.
"What? You are..."
Not to mention King Luo Bin, who among the people present here, including Shangguan Tingzhi, Wang Bo, and Yao Chong, could withstand such a "shock"?
"How's it going? Could it be that the poor man will still harm you? Each and every one of them——"
Now that his identity had been revealed, Li Chunfeng stood up immediately and saluted Li Zhi first.
"I have seen Your Majesty——"
"The common people have seen His Majesty——"
Li Chunfeng bowed, but the others had no reason to believe it, and they all fell to the ground in a panic.
"Okay, everyone, let's get up. I happened to pass by here today. I saw Master Li here and came over to ask for a drink. I didn't expect to meet you all and me, a well-behaved little disciple."
Li Zhi motioned for everyone to stand up and sit down again, but Xiao Wan'er had already been hugged by Bai Suzhen. Seeing this scene, she was surprised and happy.
"Senior sister, this is the king of the Tang Dynasty. He is actually Wan'er's master. Hahahaha, it's so funny——"
After all, he was a five- or six-year-old child who found such a rare thing as the "Emperor" and suddenly became his master. The unique innocence in his heart was still indescribable.
"Third Junior Sister, Master has said that no matter what the occasion, we can just call you 'Master' and there is no need to pay attention to those clichés."
Bai Suzhen warned Xiao Wan'er in a low voice. She also liked this little girl very much. Looking at Shangguan Wan'er's clever and weird appearance, she didn't know what it would be like to take her back to face the "naughty" Junior Brother Chenxiang. Woolen cloth?
Fortunately, Li Chunfeng had already booked the entire second floor. After the food and drinks were served, there was no one in the "Jade Smoke Pavilion" on the entire second floor. Otherwise, wouldn't such a big scene cause unnecessary sensation?
"My lord, I am a person who doesn't know how to adapt. I can offend Shangfeng even if I am in the department. If I get to His Highness the Crown Prince, wouldn't it be..."
Even though King Luo Bin was usually a noble person, he was definitely the type who wouldn't give up for five buckets of rice. However, as the current leader of the Tang Dynasty, no matter how indifferent to fame and fortune, he was still a little cautious.
"Hahaha, just to take advantage of the aloofness of sightseeing, that kid is now in his teens. He probably only focuses on practicing Taoism on weekdays without any rules at all."
"Don't worry, that kid will definitely not have any magic power while you are teaching him. Just treat him as an ordinary schoolboy and teach him normally."
Seeing that Emperor Tang had made such a promise, King Luo Bin no longer insisted.
If an official can stay in the center, how many people are willing to go to the local government?
Besides, this is His Highness the Prince's teacher who was directly appointed by the Emperor of Tang Dynasty. Even if he can't be a Prince and Tutor in the future, he can still be a Prince and Young Tutor, right?
"As for Yuan Zhi and Zian, you should work hard in the autumn of this year and compete with all the students in the Tang Dynasty. As long as you are on the list, you can stay in Chang'an."
Li Zhi still knew that Yao Chong and Wang Bo were not good at imperial examinations.
Wang Bo had a lot of knowledge and was very smart when he was young. He was able to compose poems when he was six years old. His poems were ingenious and heroic. He was praised by Du Yijian, a friend of his father Wang Fuji, as one of the "Three Trees of the Wang Family".
When he was nine years old, Wang Bo read the "Book of Han" annotated by Yan Shigu and wrote ten volumes of "Zhixia" to point out the errors in Yan Shigu's works.
When he was ten years old, Wang Bo read the Six Classics. From the age of twelve to fourteen, Wang Bo followed Cao Yuan to study medicine in Chang'an. He successively studied "The Book of Changes", "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic", "The Difficult Classic", etc., and was familiar with "Three Cai and Liujia". "I know the number of jade chambers in Mingtang."
At the age of sixteen, Ying Yousu passed the examination and was appointed Chaosan Lang.
This person can be regarded as a pure scholar, but he is not very good at being an official. Fortunately, he is only twenty years old now, so he is still very malleable.
As for Yao Chong, Li Zhi is even more optimistic.
Today's government affairs in the Tang Dynasty are mostly handled by Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and Changsun Wuji. At most, Tang Wang Li Chengqian is in charge.
It's a pity that those three are all in their eighties or nineties. Although they are successful in spiritual practice and have no problem with their life span and energy, the solidification of their thoughts may not keep up with the development of the times.
It's a pity that there is no young and capable person to take over. Even if the Yao Chong in front of him has a bright future, I am afraid he will have to train beside these old people for ten or eight years.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was Du before him and Yao and Song after him. It was a pity that Li Zhi could not see Du Ruhui alive. Now that Yao Chong is here, where is Song Jing?
...
The next day, Li Zhi and his party returned to Chang'an first, but Xiao Wan'er was a little clinging to Bai Suzhen, so she simply left with Li Zhi and the others.
Shangguan Tingzhi didn't have any objections to this. He had been practicing cultivation with his master for decades. He wished that his daughter could have more contact with the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.
Apart from anything else, if he could learn even one-tenth of Tang Huang's skills, it would be enough for Shangguan Wan'er to use him throughout his life.
Seeing Tang Huang and his entourage disappear from sight, Shangguan Tingzhi felt filled with emotion. It seemed that what was destined to happen could not be changed.
When Shangguan Wan'er was about to give birth, her mother Zheng once dreamed of a giant who gave her a scale and said, "Use this to weigh the people of the world."
Mrs. Zheng expected that she would have a boy in her belly, who would be one of the most talented people in the world in the future. Unexpectedly, she gave birth to a daughter. Mrs. Zheng was very unhappy.
This Wan'er is more beautiful than her mother. She has been smart since she was a child. She was only one month old when she was born. Zheng held Wan'er in her arms and jokingly said, "Can you weigh the world's scholars?"
Wan'er responded with a "yeah" response.
However, Yao Chong and Wang Bo temporarily stayed in Wangchuan Mountain. The scenery here is beautiful and there are countless villas and elegant gardens, which are just convenient for studying quietly.
This year's autumn falls in early October, so there are still two months left. From here to Chang'an City, it takes half a day by horse.
Although they had the guarantee of Tang Emperor Li Zhi, the two of them were unwilling to take the road of luck. After this incident, they became more willing to give it a try with the world.
Li Chunfeng, Shangguan Tingzhi and Luo Binwang stayed here for a few more days before riding back to Chang'an. By this time, Li Zhi and others had already returned to Daming Palace.
"The child has paid tribute to his father——"
"Disciple Xue Dingshan, pay homage to Master——"
When Li Zhi and others returned to Chang'an City, they entered the Daming Palace directly without alerting anyone, but were sensed by Yang Chan immediately.
Now that the entire palace is under the protection of the "Lotus Lantern", any slightest disturbance will naturally not escape Yang Chan's perception.
When Li Zhi and others arrived, Yang Chan was practicing on the "Taiye Three Islands" with his son Chenxiang, second disciple Xue Dingshan and the little girl Xue Jinlian.
In just five or six years, these three small gaps have widened a lot.
Chenxiang, who is just ten years old now, is already in the early stage of "Taiyi Xuanxian".
There is no way, this kid has been running to the "Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map" all day long. Not to mention the almost liquefied spiritual energy inside, even the famous and unknown rare and exotic fruits, I don't know how many of them have been stolen by this kid.
Xue Dingshan's progress was not slow. With Yang Chan's personal supervision, Ao Ling even passed on the Dragon Clan's "Nine Transformations Divine Dragon Art" to Xue Dingshan for body training.
After all, she was called "Second Master". How different were the apprentices accepted by Li Zhi from those of the imperial concubines?
Xue Dingshan knew that he started late and was three or four years older than Junior Brother Chenxiang, so he practiced harder and more diligently.
Over the past five or six years, his cultivation has been raised to the middle stage of "Celestial Immortal". Although this progress is not comparable to that of a monster like Chen Xiang, it is still outstanding when looking at the entire Tang Dynasty.
Compared to those two, Xue Jinlian was far behind in terms of entry level, and the little girl was still young.
Well, Xue Jinlian is now ten years old, three months older than Chen Xiang.
Nowadays, Xue Jinlian has barely entered the "golden elixir" stage. Her qualifications in cultivation can only be regarded as average. Yang Chan does not dare to stimulate her progress too much and just wants to increase it steadily.
Behind these three little ones, there was a little boy who was only four or five years old, but he was already in the middle stage of "Xuanxian".
This is the son Ao Ling gave birth to for Li Zhi. He was born after a full 28 months of pregnancy. He was born in the late stage of "celestial immortality".
One has to envy the Dragon Clan's powerful innate advantages, coupled with Li Zhi's equally impressive bloodline, which makes this little prince extremely talented.
When Ao Ling gave birth to the little prince, the dragon kings from all over the world gathered in Chang'an City.
Naturally, I gave away a lot of rare treasures. There were no treasures in Mo Dao Dragon Palace. Although they were not top-notch, there were still a few of the "Acquired Spiritual Treasures" level.
As Ao Ling's biological father, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, as the contemporary leader of the dragon clan, sealed all the water systems in the entire Tang Dynasty under Ao Ling's name.
In other words, such as the rivers in the south, rivers in the north, Jishui, Fenshui, Weishui, etc., as long as they are dragon clan forces in the realm of the Tang Dynasty, they are all under Ao Ling's control.
This power is not small. With such a huge water system, Datang can really achieve smooth weather and self-sufficiency.
And Ao Ling, the "Dragon Girl", has been officially confirmed.
Such a great gift naturally shocked everyone in the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Li Shimin personally came forward and led the civil and military ministers to entertain the Dragon King of the Four Seas.
At the banquet, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, who had a few too many drinks, shamelessly snatched the naming rights of the little prince and named the child born to Ao Ling "Ao Ting".
Li Shimin had no intention of objecting, and even felt that this name was very suitable for his little grandson. "Ao Ting" means calm, graceful, famous all over the world, and powerful.
He just secretly asked the Zongren Temple to add the word "Li" before the word "Ao Ting" on top of the royal jade butterfly.
"Li Aoting" is just like the current crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, "Li Chenxiang".
"Mother, is this the father that mother and queen often talk about?——"
After all, it was the first time they met, so little Ao Ting was still a bit aloof. He hid between the hem of Yang Chan's skirt and refused to go over, but stuck his little head out and kept looking at her.
"Is this the child born to Ling'er?"
Under the "Golden Eyes that Break the Illusion", Li Zhi naturally saw Xiao Ao Ting's true identity clearly.
Well, these children of my own are quite evil. How old is this kid? They are already in the middle stage of "Xuanxian"?
"Second brother, come here quickly, this is our father back -"
Chen Xiang and Xue Dingshan greeted each other at the same time. Xue Dingshan was still kneeling on the ground, but Chen Xiang stood up consciously and even put on the airs of an elder brother to greet little Ao Ting.
"You bastard, you can't lead your brother to evil! Dingshan, get up quickly, you've already grown longer than your master's wife——"
Li Zhi first gave Chen Xiang a "Li Chi" on his head, and then helped Xue Dingshan up.
When he left, Xue Dingshan was just over eight years old, and now he is about to turn fourteen. After years of practice and sufficient nutrition, his height has also increased, and he is taller than Yang Chan by visual inspection.
In terms of later generations' measurements, at 1.75 meters tall, Yang Chan is definitely considered the tallest woman. However, Xue Dingshan, who is less than fourteen years old, is actually taller than her. I am afraid he will become a tall and burly person in the future.
"Child Ao Ting has met his father——"
Even though he was only four or five years old, little Ao Ting looked like a young adult. After receiving confirmation from his eldest brother and seeing his mother's encouraging eyes, he bowed to Li Zhi in a decent manner.
"Ao Ting? Haha, what a good name, my son——"
So what about the middle stage of "Xuanxian"? Isn't that Li Zhi's son?
Li Zhi came up and immediately picked up little Ao Ting from the ground. He even raised it above his head happily and walked around the Daming Palace several times.
"Humph, daddy is partial, why have you never hugged me? Well, who is this little sister? She is so beautiful——"
Seeing such a heartwarming scene between Li Zhi and Ao Ting, Yang Chan followed Li Zhi and
Xiao Bailong, Bai Suzhen and Luo Binwang who had arrived were all watching quietly, watching the rare family happiness of father and son.
Already ten years old, Chen Xiang has a rare taste for food.
When he was young, he was the only child in the palace, and he was so naughty and mischievous, so naturally he couldn't get a good rap from Li Zhi.
However, there is no way to compare whether a child is good or not.
Now that he has his second child, Ao Ting, compared to these two, is it possible that he just picked them up?
While Chen Xiang was mumbling there, he caught a glimpse of a pink and jade-like little girl following the senior sister. As if Chen Xiang had seen some strange treasure, he immediately forgot the unhappiness in his heart just now.
"Boy, don't be so presumptuous! Come on, I'll introduce you all——"
Seeing outsiders coming, Yang Chan had already ordered the maid to serve tea, and Li Zhi also invited King Luo Bin in.
Among the people present, only King Luo Bin was considered an "outsider". Although he was a minister, Li Zhi was appointed as Prince Chenxiang's teacher at this time, so he naturally had to be polite.
"Sightseeing, this is my queen, these children will be the students you will teach from now on."
"My second disciple Xue Dingshan is the son of General Xue Rengui. That is General Xue's daughter Xue Jinlian. This is my naughty prince Chenxiang. This younger one is my second prince. I will give him the title of 'Prince of Jin' - "
"Chan'er, this is Mr. Luo Binwang Guangguang. From tomorrow on, he will be the teacher of these children. In addition to practicing, he must spend no less than two hours studying articles, classics, laws, etc. with Luo Qing every day. .”
When Li Zhi said this, he glared at Chen Xiang.
After not seeing each other for five or six years, Li Zhi found that in addition to his great improvement in cultivation, his whole temperament seemed to be less and less like a person of this era?
How come that rebelliousness, that naughty and cunning look are so similar to those of later generations when they were children?
"Your Majesty, King Luo Bin, pays homage to the Queen—"
King Luo Bin changed his usual free and easy attitude and bowed respectfully to Yang Chan.
It is true that King Luo Bin is a scholar. Even in front of the emperor Li Zhi, he can still maintain a certain degree of freedom and ease of a scholar. It is just that he has Confucianism in his heart. After seeing a country, he becomes more serious.
"There is no need for you to be polite, Luo Qing. The Lord of Heaven and Earth is your teacher. I and Your Majesty are the parents and teachers of these children. From now on, you will also be their teacher. When teaching these children, there are only teachers and students, and there is no distinction between monarch and minister."
Yang Chan also saw that this King Luo Bin must be a well-educated man, and his literary aura had already reached the realm of "literary, Taoist, and spiritual knowledge."
As a queen of a country and someone who has been with these children all year round, she naturally knows the temperament and temperament of these children. When you meet them for the first time, you must give this teacher enough respect and power.
"Why don't you go and see Master Luo? You want to pay homage with great ceremony——"
Seeing those children still standing there motionless, Li Zhi's face sank.
"The students are waiting to meet Master Luo——"
Chen Xiang, Xue Dingshan, Ao Ting, and even Xue Jinlian and Shangguan Wan'er also came together, and Wu Xiaoxing paid homage to King Luo Bin.
"Excuse me. From tomorrow onwards, Mr. Luo will be your teacher. I hope you will live up to His Majesty's high expectations. Mr. Luo will do his best and give everything he has to teach you!"
When the occasion finally came, Mr. Luo Binwang also put on his airs and accepted these five small gifts.
"Chan'er, this little girl is called Shangguan Wan'er. She is the granddaughter of Secretary Shangguan Yi. Now she has been accepted as my third disciple. You should cultivate her carefully—"
This style is very "Li Zhi". He is only responsible for recruiting disciples, and when it comes to actually teaching disciples, he leaves them to Yang Chan.
"Wan'er? I'm almost here - this little girl is... much stronger than the naughty son I gave birth to -"
Well, Chen Xiang can only feel uncomfortable on the sidelines. After comparing this lap together, is he the worst? I am your relative after all
Raw?
"Disciple Shangguan Wan'er, I met my master's wife——"
Even though Yang Chan was already greeting her warmly, Shangguan Wan'er still kowtowed to Yang Chan in a polite manner.
This little girl has been smart since she was a child, and she is also a well-educated and courteous person. Before following Li Zhi, she was also warned by her father and son.
"Your Majesty, she is actually..."
When Yang Chan took Shangguan Wan'er's little hand, she discovered that this girl turned out to be a rare "pure yin body" in the world.
"Yes, Wan'er's talent is indeed rare. If possible, I hope she can pass on your legacy."
Li Zhi naturally understood what Yang Chan meant, so he said solemnly.
There are many types of disciples, and even if they are all direct disciples, they are actually different from each other. Li Zhi's words of "passing on your mantle" can be regarded as defining Shangguan Wan'er.
Who is Yang Chan?
He was a serious descendant of the "Wa Palace", a proper disciple of the saint.
Now they have these three apprentices, plus their two sons, and even Xue Jinlian who was sitting in, making a total of six people.
Bai Suzhen was the first to get started, but she was an art caster. Although Li Zhi and Yang Chan also taught her carefully, her talent was limited. I am afraid that "Daluo Jinxian" would be her limit.
Xue Jinlian's qualifications are mediocre, and now he doesn't even have a registered disciple. The remaining Xue Dingshan, Chen Xiang and Ao Ting are all following a fierce path.
Now that he met Shangguan Wan'er, who was extremely talented, Li Zhi naturally wanted Yang Chan to train her well. Maybe her achievements in a few hundred years would not be worse than Yang Chan's as a master's wife.
...
"My lords, in the past five years or so, the development of our Tang Dynasty has been obvious to all. Farmers have land, laborers have food, and residents have houses. Even many children from farm families can go to school to study and understand."
"All this progress is inseparable from the efforts of all the princes. In order to commend the merits of the ministers and to motivate the princes, I have specially set up some rewards."
"Here are some elixirs that I refined in my spare time. Although I can't live forever, I can still add a few hundred years to my life. According to the regulations issued by the Zhongshu Ministry, I can receive certain rewards based on my merits."
Li Zhi has already practiced the "Nine Transformations Golden Pill", so it is natural to refine some pills that can strengthen the body and prolong life.
He was quite good at elixir recipes, but the materials used for making elixirs were not easy to find, so he managed to make three elixirs, which he named "Pui Yuan Dan", "Forging Body Dan" and "Life Extension Dan" respectively.
Basically, it can be regarded as a level of elixir. It depends on the user's own situation and he can choose the appropriate elixir as a reward.
This is more attractive than any property or title.
Unfortunately, the contribution required to obtain any elixir is not too simple, otherwise it would be too easy to obtain.
Even so, everyone in the civil and military dynasties became excited.
They are "well aware" of His Majesty's abilities. Although they don't see him often, his glorious achievements have long been deeply remembered by the people of the Tang Dynasty.
"In addition, after more than five years of rest and recuperation, all industries in the Tang Dynasty have prospered, the country is rich and the people are strong, and it is time to fully use troops against the demons."
"The power of the demons in the Tang Dynasty has become very small. However, looking at the entire Nanzhan continent, there are still many countries that are infested by the demons."
"I have made up my mind. I will send out several groups of troops to completely eliminate the remnants of the demons in the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, I will send troops to support all countries that seek help from the Tang Dynasty. Xue Rengui listens to the order-"
Out of the blue, Li Zhi actually lit up the general order on the "Hanyuan Hall".
"The end will be—"
After these years of training, Xue Rengui has now reached the level of "Golden Immortal". Although his personal strength is not very outstanding, he has become the leading commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Jing and Xu Maogong retreated to the second line one after another. Veterans such as Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin either sat in the center or were stationed in key places.
Middle-aged generals under the age of sixty successively took over the flag of the Tang Dynasty.
Among them, Su Dingfang, Pei Xingjian, Hou Junji, Cheng Wuting, Lou Shide and others became the leaders. Xue Rengui relied on his illustrious military exploits to surpass the three armies in combat power and became another god of war in the Tang army after Qin Shubao.
Xue Rengui's ability is absolutely no problem, and with his son Xue Dingshan's relationship with the Tang Emperor, he has gradually replaced Qin Shubao as the banner of the Tang army in recent years.
"General Xue, I order you to select 40,000 of the most valiant Tang Army soldiers within one month. The Lijing Sect will fully cooperate with you. In addition, I will send three Da Luo Jinxian to you."
"After three years, I don't want to see any signs of demon activities in the entire Nanzhan Continent. Do you dare to accept the order?——"
The elite army of the demons was completely defeated in the battle in Heaven. Even if the two "quasi-saints", the three guardians, and the five spirit generals of the demons retreated, it would be difficult to summon an army of that size again in the short term. Do it.
The losses in Heaven were even more serious. Not to mention the casualties of more than half of the 100,000 Heavenly soldiers and generals, most of the newly formed "God-given Guards" formed by the Great Heavenly Lord were damaged and were slowly licking their wounds.
Therefore, in the next few years, the demon clan will definitely shrink its forces and recuperate. However, it is the time for the Tang Dynasty to strike hard. It is the time to eliminate the demons!
Li Zhi can be regarded as spending a lot of money. Although the Tang Dynasty has been rich in recent years, the army has followed the route of elite soldiers. If the entire Tang Dynasty selects 40,000 soldiers, the worst ones should be those who have cultivated "Hua Jin" people.
Three "Daluo Golden Immortals"?
That means sending out Rutoro, Indra and Little White Dragon.
"The last general, Xue Rengui, is your majesty. He went through fire and water for the Tang Dynasty, and he did everything he could—"
How much trust this is. Even though there are only 40,000 people, Xue Rengui can imagine that it is a force that can sweep across the entire Nanzhan continent.
"In addition, you should also take Qin Huaiyu and Luo Tong with me, and Prince Chenxiang, please take them with you to practice."
Seeing Xue Rengui accepting the general order impassionedly, Li Zhi murmured to himself again.
"Your Majesty, this..."
Although it was not easy to eliminate the demon clan in the entire Nanzhan tribe, Xue Rengui still dared to accept the order happily. The arrogance of a solid soldier did not allow him to flinch.
However, now that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted to give him the current crown prince, Chen Xiang, who was only ten years old, to train him, Xue Rengui felt a little overwhelmed.
"Uncle Xue, don't worry, I'm just going to ask for a Pioneer Officer Dangdang from your account. Hehe, I think it will be very interesting -"
Today's court meeting is an unprecedented one. After all, Li Zhi has only been on the throne for less than seven years and has been "wandering" outside for five or six years. Some of the new ministers have never seen each other.
Therefore, those who can enter the "Hanyuan Palace" today include all officials serving in Chang'an City above the sixth rank, and Prince Chenxiang is also among them. Even Ao Ting, who has just been named "Prince of Jin", is obedient. Sitting on a small stool nearby.
"Haha, don't put any pressure on Xue Shuai. Although Chen Xiang is a bit naughty, he is also a rare master. I am really looking forward to this boy's performance."
Xue Rengui was a little embarrassed. Before Li Zhi could speak, Li Chengqian, the "King of Tang" standing at the head of the generals, said with a smile.
Li Chengqian, who is over fifty years old, does not look old at all. He also has the cultivation level of a "Golden Immortal" in the middle stage, and his spirit is restrained. In the few years since Li Zhi was away from Chang'an City, he did not fail to contribute to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. .
"Brother Tang Wang is right, Xue Shuai, take this 'Longquan Sword'. Seeing this sword is like seeing me. If anyone disrespects orders, I will kill him in retribution - "
In order to support Xue Rengui, who was serving as commander-in-chief for the first time, Li Zhi made a special trip to the "Lizheng Palace" last night and brought over the "Longquan Sword" inherited from the Li Tang royal family from his father.
Li Zhi himself did have a "Xuanyuan Sword", but unfortunately that sword was too ostentatious, and it was obviously too much for the commander of an army.
, he thought of this "Longquan Sword".
"The final general's order——"
The atmosphere has been set up to this extent, what else can Xue Rengui have to say?
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward to take the "Longquan Sword" which was enviable but also made Xue Rengui feel heavy under the gaze of hundreds of officials.
"Your Majesty, the envoy of Tuyuhun, the former Princess of Tuyuhun and Princess Honghua of the Tang Dynasty, and his deputy, the Imperial Master Alai, are asking for an audience outside the palace——"
At this time, Zhang Ananda's unique voice came from outside the "Hanyuan Hall".
