In the beginning, I set up a street stall in Datang

Chapter 111 Kicked Out of the Palace

Ten days later, the Northern Expedition army returned to Chang'an.

The people in Chang'an City all walked out of their homes spontaneously, and came to the gate of the city to welcome the triumphant return of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

The people of Chang'an, regardless of men, women, old and young, gathered at the gate of Chang'an City, extending to twenty miles outside the city.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

When the Northern Expeditionary Army slowly appeared in everyone's sight, deafening shouts erupted instantly.

But the deafening shouts stopped immediately.

Everyone stared at the army who was not riding a horse, and their eyes turned red instantly.

Because they clearly saw that Li Er was walking in the front with a white cloth tied on his head.

Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Qin Qiong and other generals carried the emperor's coffin.

Lying inside is Chai Shao, the governor of Youzhou.

Immediately afterwards, there were the corpses of Tang Dynasty soldiers.

As the shouts disappeared, the endless sadness spread to the surroundings in an instant.

Faced with this incomparably bleak scene, the common people felt a burst of sadness in their hearts instantly, and tears filled their eyes uncontrollably.

Where is the blood-armored general?

Why didn't I see the figure of the blood armor general?

Why didn't the blood-armored general who fought bloody battles on the border and endured a narrow escape to stop the Turkic cavalry come back?
Could it be that the blood armored general is lying in the imperial coffin?
Could it be that the blood armor general...

When the army came to the gate of the city, Li Er suddenly stopped.

"This time Your Majesty's personal conquest, our Tang Dynasty won a tragic victory. The governor of Youzhou, Chai Shao, died in the battle, and more than half of our Tang soldiers were killed or injured. The blood armor general was seriously injured. He is now unconscious, and his life and death are uncertain."

"Countless soldiers of the Tang Dynasty fought bloody battles to block the Turkic cavalry and the frontier. They are all heroes of our Tang Dynasty, and our people of the Tang Dynasty should always remember them!"

Fang Xuanling took a big step forward, turned around and said to the people around him, sobbing.

As his words fell, the tragedy and desolation of the border war instantly enveloped the sky over Chang'an.

Countless people in Chang'an lowered their heads and silently wiped the tears from their faces.

"During this Northern Expedition, all the soldiers who died in battle were buried in the imperial mausoleum as a state funeral."

"In order to delay the Tang Dynasty, the blood-armored general killed the enemy in blood on the frontier, with hundreds of stab wounds on his body. In order to protect our Tang Dynasty, the life and death of the blood-armored general is uncertain."

"I appointed the blood armor general as the great general to protect the country, and I will announce it to the world immediately!"

Li Er choked with sobs and said in front of the whole city.

It's just that his voice has not yet fallen, but the person has long been sobbing.

Seeing this scene, the people in the city were moved to an uproar.

It is a blessing for the common people to have an emperor in the Tang Dynasty!
The blood-armored general who could turn the tide of the Tang Dynasty was a blessing to all people!
Li Er's move can be said to win the hearts of the people of the world.

After all, the way he was able to sit on the throne was extremely dishonorable.

However, as he carried the imperial coffin to the imperial conquest, at this time he held a funeral for the Tang soldiers who died in battle, and named General Xuejia as the Great General to Protect the Country.

This move is very popular!
The army of the Northern Expedition slowly entered Chang'an City, and the people of Chang'an couldn't bear it anymore, and they all burst into tears.

But at this time, Shen Lang was lying in the carriage, but he was still unconscious.

……

With the end of the Northern Expedition, Li Erban returned to the dynasty.

Datang's life-and-death battle also came to an end.

On the second day after returning to Chang'an, Li Er personally held the national funeral for the soldiers who died in the frontier battle.

At Li Er's request, all the royal children attended and knelt down to worship.

This move won the hearts of the people.

The public's doubts about Li Er not only disintegrated in an instant, but the whole Tang Dynasty gained unprecedented unity.

Li Er even took the Blood Armored General to the palace and sent someone to guard him day and night, never leaving him.

……

Inside the residence of Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang.

After Li Xiuning held the funeral for her husband Chai Shao, she stayed at home.

Her husband died in battle, but she secretly had a crush on the blood-armored general.

This complicated relationship made her suffer unspeakably.

Although she was worried about General Xuejia in her heart, in order to avoid the impeachment of the imperial censors, she could only suppress the care and longing in her heart.

She was dejected in the mansion and shed tears all day long.

Fortunately, during her first northern expedition, she and Li Jing brought back Wang Dabiao, the life and death brother of General Blood Armor.

Wang Dabiao was arranged by her to recuperate in the mansion and took good care of her.

She believed that as long as Wang Dabiao was in her house, General Xuejia would naturally come to visit her house if he could survive this disaster.

If the Blood Armored General can't survive this catastrophe, if he can help him take care of his brother, it will be considered that the two met each other for nothing.

Li Xiuning waited in the mansion, waiting for the day when the Blood Armored General came to visit.

……

And in the palace.

Princess Li Lizhi of Changle shed tears all day long when she learned that her elder brother Dahai had not returned to court with the army.

Although Li Er and Empress Changsun comforted her in every possible way, she still couldn't accept the fact that Brother Dahai died in battle.

But little did he know that her brother Dahai was not far away from her at this time, making his final struggle with the God of Death.

For three consecutive days, Shen Lang was still in a coma.

But on the fourth day, he started talking nonsense.

"Bai Ma Yi Cong, kill!"

"Han Jiaerlang, charge!"

For three consecutive days, Shen Lang kept screaming in his dream.

At this time, he seemed to be in the frontier battlefield, fighting to the death with the Turkic cavalry.

During this period, Li Er led all the civil and military officials to see the blood armored general many times.

Every time they heard his howling in the dream, it made everyone's hearts sore.

General Xuejia sacrificed his life for the Tang Dynasty and the people of the Central Plains.

This is an unparalleled national scholar!

On the seventh day, early morning.

Then a censor began to play, suggesting that Li Er arrange the funeral for the blood armor general.

After all, General Blood Armor was seriously injured, and he has been in a coma for more than half a month.

Even gods can't save him.

However, the Yushi Yanguan's suggestion was directly rejected by Li Er.

But the eighth day, the ninth day.

The censors played one after another, demanding that the blood-armored general be sent out of the palace.

Although he has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, it is not in line with the laws of the country to let a general of unknown origin live in the palace!
In desperation, Li Er had no choice but to agree.

He sent General Xuejia out of the palace and arranged him in a private residence in Chang'an City.

It is said to be a private house, but in fact, there is only one wall separating the residence of Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning.

If the blood-armored general wakes up, all the civil and military ministers of the dynasty will surely rush to take the blood-armored general to their own homes to recuperate.

But now that the Blood-armored General is unconscious, he may die one day. Who would want to take advantage of this bad luck?
From ancient times to the present, society has always been like this.

The censors jointly signed a petition to drive the blood-armored general out of the palace.

This move made those generals very angry.

But only Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning was overjoyed.

Ever since the Blood Armor General moved to the house next door to her, she has never left her day and night.

On this day, Li Xiuning was wiping the body of the Blood Armored General.

"go to hell!"

Hearing the Blood Armored General roar in his nightmare, his wildly waving hands grabbed the shirt on Li Xiuning's chest.

Then there was a sound of "chi la", Li Xiuning's clothes were instantly torn apart and slowly slipped off.
