Chapter 142
Now that the front line has won the battle, Li Shimin will naturally not treat Li Daozong and other generals who came back from the front line badly.

What's more, this front-line battle is different from the past, and the Datang army has to face more challenges than before, not only because the food road behind has been cut off and lost supplies.

The morale of the army is easily disturbed, and even mutiny, these generals need to overcome.

Fortunately, they did a good job and did not disappoint Li Shimin.

Moreover, the victory at the front line is of great significance to the imperial court, breaking the blockade of the aristocratic families against the imperial court. Besides, if these aristocratic families were not behind the Tuyuhun attack, Li Shimin would believe it even if he was killed.

Therefore, for Li Daozong and others to return to the court, Li Shimin's welcoming ceremony for them should not only be beautiful and grand, but also a warning to the noble families.

There are millions of tigers, wolves and lions in my Tang Dynasty. If you dare to be disrespectful again, your city will be the next time soldiers come to the city.

In the court hall, Li Shimin said to all civil and military officials:
"Tomorrow, all of you will go outside the city with me to welcome the army back to the court!"

Everyone knew that Li Shimin was in a good mood at this time, so naturally no one dared to refute.

Besides, this kind of prestige thing is not harmful to them, and they have no reason to refute.

Seeing that everyone agreed, no one stood up to refute, even Wei Zheng, the usual stabbing head, rarely disagreed with him at this time, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction.

During this period of time, the imperial court was under a lot of pressure. The welcome this time was not only to highlight the grand occasion of the state, to deter the five surnames and the seven noble families, but also to let the civil and military officials relax.

No one knows how urgent the original situation is than Li Shimin and the officials of the six imperial courts.

The floods in Henan Province and Shandong Province have only gradually subsided today, and countless money and food will be needed in the follow-up. Fortunately, the court has slowed down.

There was a steady stream of food from the canals.

If the aristocratic clans dare to cut off the canal at this time, Li Shimin would really dare to send troops to attack Wuxing Qiwang, this is not a joke.

It is about the prosperity and decline of the country, Li Shimin will never be soft.

"By the way, Xing'an, call Prince Consort Liu tomorrow."

Li Shimin deliberately amplified his voice, and said to the old eunuch beside him:

"This army expedition, he is also a great hero for the logistics!"

Xing'an bowed to answer, while the civil and military officials of His Royal Highness looked at each other in blank dismay, and then fell silent.

It's not that no one wants to refute, after all, Liu Sheng's official position is too low, and he has no other status. The status of consort is not counted, and he is not qualified to participate in the event of welcoming the army back to the court.

But Li Shimin said so, and Wei Zheng in front of him seemed to be asleep, motionless, he didn't stand up and fight with Li Shimin like before.

They also settled down, and no one dared to answer.

Liu Sheng played a big role in this army expedition. First of all, it was on the horseshoe. Without his skills, the loss of the army's war horses would be greatly increased.

Not only that, but in terms of speed, it is even more hip-stretching.

Secondly, on the grain and grass in the rear, without the aid of his millions of stones of grain, the frontline army would have collapsed long ago.

In the end, without Liu Sheng's strong support, even this expedition has not ended yet, and the aftermath of the flood has not yet ended, and Datang will inevitably fall into the quagmire of huge consumption.

The grand event of Zhenguan will be ruined.

It can be said that the current grand event in Zhenguan was started by Liu Sheng, and the army on the front line was provided by Liu Sheng, all of which are inseparable from this ordinary little son-in-law.

Benefiting thousands of people is much more powerful than killing the enemy himself.

Liu Sheng Mansion.

Xing'an came early in the morning.

"I don't know if His Majesty has sent another oral order?"

After Liu Sheng saw the figure of the other party, he rubbed his tired brows and asked with an expression that was just like that.

Xing'an was not surprised either, everyone said Concubine Liu was talented and intelligent, and sure enough, he knew everything, and he knew it before our family said anything.

"That's true. Your Majesty asked the son-in-law to go with all the civil and military officials to meet the army outside Chang'an City this morning!"

He looked straight at Liu Sheng, worried that Liu Sheng would run away suddenly.

He immediately knew that Liu Sheng could do it, and he knew it very well in his heart. After all, when he asked Liu Sheng to go to be the magistrate of Chang'an County, the other party had the same expression.

Sure enough, as he expected, Liu Sheng looked surprised, and also accompanied by a little reluctance, "I seem to be just a small county magistrate, how can I be qualified to participate in such an important matter."

"You still have to stop joking!"

"My son-in-law, you can say whether to go or not. If my son-in-law doesn't want to leave, His Majesty said that I will come to invite you in person. Please think about it, my son-in-law!"

Hearing this, Liu Sheng rolled his eyes, knowing in his heart that it would be impossible if he didn't go, and he was very sure that Li Shimin could indeed come to invite him in person.

"Okay, I'll go!" Liu Sheng finally changed his attitude.

Xing An smiled with satisfaction.

……

Soon, when Liu Sheng changed into an official uniform and followed the civil and military officials, and went out to greet him at the city gate, Li Daozong and others were actually almost there.

Naturally, they couldn't keep Li Shimin waiting for too long, and after Li Shimin and others came out for a while, Li Daozong and others appeared on horseback.

It was such a coincidence, even so, Li Daozong and others were still very moved.

It is such a great honor for His Majesty to lead the civil and military officials out of the city to meet them, and they can brag about it for a lifetime just for such a thing.

"Your Majesty, my ministers see Your Majesty!"

Li Daozong took the lead in getting off his horse a few feet before Li Shimin, and made a big gift to Li Shimin.

The face is full of excitement, you treat me like a gentleman, and I will repay you with a gentleman!

"Okay, okay, just come back!" Li Shimin stepped forward to help Li Daozong, "Thank you for your hard work, the army can successfully defeat Tuyuhun and triumphantly, you are worthy of me!"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty, and I will die!"

Li Daozong even burst into tears and looked extremely excited, especially the generals behind him.

At this time, Li Shimin was like a kind uncle, consoling the generals cordially, gaining a lot of prestige and loyalty.

"Okay, my Tang generals are all good men!"

Li Shimin was very happy, and he was in high spirits on happy occasions, "There will be a celebration banquet next, everyone must enjoy it!"

Afterwards, Li Shimin encouraged him a bit, and then he pulled Li Daozong into the car and drove back to the palace together.

Such an honor made all the ministers jealous.

Of course, what shocked and puzzled them even more was that Liu Sheng, who was originally at the end of the queue, was also brought up by Li Shimin.
