Chapter 149 Li Ke believes it anyway
Chapter 149 Anyway, Li Ke believed it
The next day, Li Ke embarked on the road back to Beijing.
Because Li Ke had been assassinated several times, and Xue Wanche had a good impression of him. So, when he saw Liu Rengui and the 200 guards behind Li Zong, out of concern for Li Ke's safety, he drew a thousand elite cavalry from the northwest army and escorted Li Ke back to Beijing along the way.
Li Ke did not refuse Xue Wanche's kindness, and he was also scared of being assassinated and intercepted. Therefore, after returning from Mobei, he was particularly important to his life safety.
In addition to a thousand iron cavalry, Xue Wanche also prepared a carriage for two rich young men, Li Zong and Yuchi Jun. Because the weather was cold in winter and it was not suitable to ride a horse, he was afraid that Li Zong and Yuchi Jun would get cold again. Both of them were sons of famous generals. After the Duke, if he was not properly arranged, Chai Shao and Yuchi Jingde would not be able to bear it. In addition, at the request of Liu Rengui, a carriage that Li Ke found for a doctor who accompanied him to go back to Beijing, there were only three large carriages.
Therefore, the itinerary on the road was slowed down a lot due to the vehicle's requirements for the road. At the same time, Li Ke's condition worsened when passing Ningzhou, and his high fever did not subside from time to time. Liu Rengui, Li Zong and Yuchi Jun begged several times to ask Li Ke to rest in Ningzhou and return to Beijing to report his life after he recovered, but was rejected by Li Ke.
Therefore, although it took only two days to ride a horse from Ningzhou to Chang'an, Li Ke and his group walked for five days and finally arrived at Wannian County near Chang'an on the night of the sixth day.
After Li Ke returned to Lingzhou, Xue Wanche quickly reported to Li Jing and the court. After receiving Xue Wanche's urgent report, Li Shimin's heart that had been hanging for more than ten days was finally let go. Then, the next day, he received news from Xue Wanche that Li Ke was extremely cold but still insisted on returning to Beijing. Li Shimin originally wanted to submit an order to let Li Ke rest in Lingzhou, but he thought that Yang Fei missed her beloved son and was seriously ill in bed and was anxious, so he endured this idea. Then he arranged for the "Tang" to pay attention to Li Ke's whereabouts. When Li Ke and his party arrived in Binzhou, he ordered Qianniu Guards and the imperial physicians to Wannian County to welcome Li Ke.
Therefore, when Li Ke and his group stepped into Wannian County, they were greeted by the tall horse and majestic Qianniu Guard. Li Xianzhong, the general of the Qianniu Guard, was a son of the Tang Dynasty royal family. Although his official position was small, he had great power, only under the General of the Qianniu Guard. At this time, Li Shimin was able to send him out to welcome Li Ke, which shows his favor for Li Ke. He respectfully came to Li Ke's frame and bowed and said, "Li Xian, the general of the Qianniu Guard, met His Highness again."
"Zhang Dezhong, an imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital, has met His Highness." Then a voice shouted at the same time.
Li Ke lifted the curtain of the carriage. Li Xianzhong was not tall, but strong. His dark yellow square face, coupled with his bright eyes and a high nose bridge, was simply a killer for later women. The imperial physician beside him who claimed to be an imperial hospital became Li Xianzhong's handsome foil.
"General Li, please wake up! Cough cough." Li Ke said weakly, then he kept coughing, "Doctor Zhang, please wake up."
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you treat Your Highness quickly?" Li Xianzhong, a clan of the royal family, admired Li Ke's decisiveness and talent. At this time, he saw that Li Ke was weak, and said angrily.
Zhang Dezhong panicked and got on Li Ke's carriage. He took his pulse in detail and then came to his senses. "Your Highness is originally strong, but he has been overdrawn for a long time and has not had good food to supplement, so he gets cold. The old minister will prescribe a prescription for Your Highness to ensure that your Highness can cure the disease."
Zhang Dezhong is a doctor who is not very proficient in other things except for his love to study medical books. Therefore, he was timid when he was delivering his respects just now, and even a general like Li Xianzhong dared to scold him. However, his excellent medical skills were highly valued by Li Shimin. Therefore, although he lacked in doing things and treating others, he was not bullied by others. At this time, when he talked to Li Ke about his condition, he seemed energetic and not as timid as before.
"Thank you, Doctor Zhang." Li Ke thanked, and then ordered Liu Rengui to rest overnight in Wannian County. He originally wanted to return to Beijing overnight, but after seeing Li Shimin's Qianniu Guard, he felt that Li Shimin must have his own intention in making such arrangements, so he decided to enter Chang'an City the next day.
In the evening, after taking the herbs brought from Zhang Dezhong from the palace, Li Ke was much better and was able to get out of bed and walk.
The next morning, Li Ke entered Chang'an City in a mighty way under the escort of 100 Black Eagle Guards, 100 Li Zong Yuchi Jun's family generals, 200 Qianniu Guards, and 100 Northwest Frontier Army.
Thousands of ox guards stood in front of Zhuque Gate, with flags waving, soldiers and gorges standing, war horses neighing, and war drums beating. The ministers in the court arranged on both sides step by step. There were table tables under the main entrance of Zhuque Gate, and fine wine and dishes were placed on the table tables. Li Shimin was wearing military uniform, and his eyes were calm and patiently waiting for Li Ke's frame.
Li Ke's car frame suddenly stopped five hundred steps away from the Zhuque Gate, and all the cavalry suddenly dismounted and shouted long live. Li Ke was shocked in the car. Could it be that Li Shimin came to greet him in person? Thinking of this, just as he was about to get up, he heard Li Zong and Yuchi Jun outside the car shouting, "Third brother, get off the car quickly, the emperor is here to greet you in person."
Li Ke struggled to get up. When he walked out of the frame, Li Shimin, wearing military uniform, was less than ten steps away from him. Before he could kneel down to salute, he saw Li Shimin support him, "Ce'er, don't need to be too polite. You will be troubled when you go on a mission to the Turks. Just come back, just come back." At the same time, Li Shimin smiled and said, "You haven't disappointed me. You deserve to be my son." Li Shimin slowed down and said, "Since Di Zhixun's news of your interception, I have wanted to personally fight against the Turks, but no one presided over the government, so I can only give up. From then on, I waited without taking off my armor. If you encounter an unexpected situation, I want to lead tens of thousands of iron cavalry in the Tang Dynasty to break through the Turks. Now seeing you return safely, my father is finally at ease."
"Father." Li Ke's tone was choked when he heard the concern in Li Shimin's words. The long-standing hunger and cold relationship and the guilt that he had done to him caused more than 800 people to die in Mobei.
"Why are you crying? What a child, you still cry like this." Li Shimin smiled, "Go and say a few words to your mother. She is already ill because she misses you day and night."
Don't cry, I won't cry. Li Ke shouted in his heart, but he couldn't help it, and didn't know why he was crying. After hearing Li Shimin's words, he wiped the tears in his eyes with his sleeve. Then, he saw a couch surrounded by sixteen people behind Li Shimin, surrounded by gauze tents, quietly parked on the ground, and a middle-aged woman with a nervous expression collapsed on her face.
"Mother's Concubine." Li Ke shouted, then left Li Shimin and climbed onto the couch. Concubine Yang looked haggard on the collapse. The moment she saw Li Ke, her whole body seemed to be full of infinite power, and she took Li Ke into her arms. "Ke'er, the mother finally saw you. The mother thought she would never see you again. You made the mother worry."
Li Ke was moved by Yang Fei's motherly love again and couldn't help but shed tears, "Mother, isn't Ke'er back now? It's because Ke'er is not good, which makes her mother worried."
After seeing Li Ke, Concubine Yang was much more energetic after seeing Li Ke. She knew that this was not the time to speak, so she let Li Ke return to Li Shimin. As soon as Li Ke left the couch, she heard a deafening shouting "Long live" sound. Then, Li Shimin shouted, "Ce'er is here for me."
Li Ke walked respectfully to Li Shimin. Li Shimin grabbed Li Ke's hand and said, "Ke'er, you are a hero of the Tang Dynasty, come to the city with me."
Li Ke was pulled forward by Li Shimin before he could refuse. He shook his head with a wry smile, and he reluctantly accepted Li Shimin's kind greeting.
The distance between Li Ke's frame and the Zhuque Gate was only 500 steps, but for Li Ke at this time, these 500 steps were as long as five thousand steps. Because such a grand welcome ceremony was Li Shimin's favor for him, and it also made himself stand out even more. Li Ke was half a step behind him and when Li Shimin passed by the Qianniuwei. All the Qianniuweis "swish" at the same time, shouting loudly. Li Shimin took Li Ke's hand and happily accepted the shouts of the soldiers. After passing Qianniuwei, there was a solemn side of the road.
When the ministers in the court passed by the ministers in the court, all the ministers in the court were chanting long live. Li Ke had recovered from the tension just now, used to such support, no longer cared about Li Chengqian's vicious eyes, Li Tai's cold eyes and Li You's gritting teeth and hatred, and followed Li Shimin leisurely and entered the Zhuque Gate. Li Shimin's welcome ceremony was unique and respectful, allowing Li Ke to personally enjoy the treatment of the true dragon emperor of a country, and finally realized the truth that what is the ruler of the land is a king or a king.
Li Ke and Li Shimin entered the Zhuque Gate and came to Liangyi Hall with Li Shimin in a car. In Liangyi Hall, he reported the situation with Li Shimin's bosses of the three provinces and six ministries as the entourage of the Turks. Although Di Zhixun had already reported all the things he did in the Turks before, and when rescuing Li Ke, Li Shimin still sent a team to welcome the people of Suzhou with Di Zhixun as the entourage. However, as the entourage of the Turks, Li Ke still had to do the necessary procedures.
Li Shimin was not like some pedantic emperors. Although he knew that Li Kemo was robbed, when he knew the cause and effect, he still sent a mission to welcome the people of Suzhou. In his opinion, since the contract has not been destroyed, I will fight and I will redeem the people.
After Li Ke made some simple reports, Li Shimin saw that he was weak and asked him to rest. He arranged the imperial doctor to his Han Palace to treat him specifically, which was extremely favorable.
After Li Ke bowed and left Liangyi Hall, he did not rush back to the Han Palace. Although he could not hold on after the wind just now, he still helped him to Qianqiu Palace with the eunuch to pay tribute to Concubine Yang. Concubine Yang knew that Li Ke was very filial to him, and the purpose of the ninja to see him was to relieve himself. But he still blamed him a few words very much and ordered him to go back to the Han Palace to rest immediately.
