When Gong Ren left, Zhang Zong also personally sent him away. When he left, he also carried several imperial edicts from the Tang Dynasty. As long as his father Lun Qinling was willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, not only him, but almost all of his brothers were rewarded.

Li Zhi even specifically agreed that if Lun Qinling was willing to surrender, the Tang Dynasty could support them in establishing a country on the plateau. At that time, the Tang Dynasty would formally enthrone Lun Qinling as king and become a vassal state on one side. Of course, the two conditions proposed by Li Hong must also be abide by. This vassal state must allow the Tang Dynasty to send officials, and it must also be under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty.

Gong Ren was also anxious when he left. After all, Tubo was too far away from the Tang Dynasty. The news he received before was a month ago. Now no one knows how much the battle within Tubo has reached, so he must hurry back to Tubo and strive to give his tribe more choices before the situation deteriorates.

Looking at Gong Ren's back disappeared at the end of the road, Zhang Zong couldn't help but sigh. He admitted that when he first came into contact with Gong Ren, he did have a utilitarian purpose, but after being together for so long, they have also developed a certain friendship. Now that the other party takes the risk of returning to Tubo for the sake of his family, Zhang Zong can't help but be worried.

"I hope you can return safely!" Finally, Zhang Zong whispered to Gong Ren's back, and then left here in a carriage.

A few days later, Zhang Zong accompanied Taiping back to the door, but compared to ordinary families, the royal family's return ceremony was very grand. On this day, Li Zhi almost summoned all the royal families in Chang'an to the palace and held a banquet in Hanguang Hall. Zhang Zong, as the protagonist of the return, was brought toast to the elders present by Li Hong, the elder brother-in-law.

In fact, even if Zhang Zong has never met the royal family here, some have heard of them. The quality of these people is mixed, some are quite famous, and some are notorious. However, these have nothing to do with Zhang Zong. Perhaps after meeting them today, they may never meet these people in their lifetime.

However, Princess Chengyang did not come, obviously still being angry with Li Zhi. In fact, Li Zhi was really wronged. Although Taiping was causing trouble, he asked him, the father, to come and deal with the aftermath. For this reason, he had apologized to Princess Chengyang many times, but he had not yet received the forgiveness of the princess, so she did not even attend Taiping's return ceremony.

After drinking, Zhang Zong was arranged to have a banquet beside Li Zhi, and Li Hong and Li Xian's four brothers also arrived, including Li Xian, whose wife died. However, compared to others, Li Xian now seems very depressed.

Li Xian was also very pitiful. His wife was starved to death by his mother, and she was still alive. But he could not express anything, but after this incident, his reputation was completely ruined. He had been staying at home for a while and heard that he almost didn't go out much.

Li Xian now obviously looks much more vicissitudes. Li Xian next to him is obviously one year older than him, but he looks like Li Hong and he has become fat, but his fatness is that kind of fat, with a little pale face, and even his hair is much thinner. His appearance also makes Zhang Zong feel very familiar, just like a fat man in later generations who stayed at home for several months and didn't go out. He is not as arrogant and domineering as he was when he first met him.

Looking at Li Xian's depressed appearance, Zhang Zong sighed secretly. Although he didn't like Li Xian very much, he couldn't help but feel sympathy when he saw his appearance.

At the same time, Zhang Zong also thought that no wonder in history, after Li Xian became emperor, he actually said that he wanted to give the country to his father-in-law. He probably was demonstrating to Wu Meiniang, thinking that he could avenge his previous shame after becoming emperor. However, he was still too naive, which also led to his miserable life.

However, what Zhang Zong didn't expect was that just as he looked at Li Xian, the other party suddenly looked at him, and then stood up and walked to him and smiled: "Son-in-law, I offended my brother so much back then, I hope you don't take it to heart!"

"Third brother, it's been so long, why are you talking about this?" Taiping next to him blushed when he heard this. When she and Zhang Zong first met, Li Xian had a conflict with Zhang Zong, but it started because of her, so she felt a little embarrassed now.

"Your Highness Ying is polite. I won't mention the matter at that time. I'll give you a glass!" Zhang Zong also stood up and raised his glass and said, after all, the other party was already so miserable, so there was no need for him to care about the matter at that time.

"It should be that I'm toasting you, do it!" Li Xian also raised his glass and smiled. Then the two of them touched the glasses and drank each other. Their original divorce was over.

After drinking, Li Xian also retreated to his seat, then lowered his head and stopped talking. Compared to Li Xian and others who were chatting and laughing next to him, he seemed out of place with the entire hall.

"Zhang Zong, third brother... Third brother is really pitiful. It was all my fault at the beginning. I hope you don't blame him anymore." At this time, Taiping looked at Li Xian, who was bowing his head and silently, and then whispered to Zhang Zong. Since getting married, she seemed to have grown up overnight, and now she can consider the problem from the perspective of others.

"I know that the little conflict at the beginning was nothing anymore. He was also a pitiful person!" Zhang Zong also showed a feeling of emotion when he spoke at the end.

"Yes, the third brother is so pitiful. He finally had a child with Sister Wang, but... he happened to... that!" Taiping sighed after hearing this.

However, when Zhang Zong heard Taiping's words, he shook his head secretly. His wife was starved to death and the child died in his stomach before he was born. This was just the beginning of Li Xian's unlucky fortune. Looking back on Li Xian in history, he was deposed after being the emperor for more than 40 days. Later, he finally survived the Shenlong coup and finally ascended the throne again, but was poisoned to death by his second wife, the famous Empress Wei, and his favorite daughter.

Throughout history, Li Xian is one of the most unlucky people, especially being betrayed by his wife and daughter, which is a tragedy of human relations. In addition, Li Xian's other children seem to have been killed by Wu Meiniang, which is really a pity that he can live strongly until he is poisoned to death. If it were ordinary people, they might have been mentally broken long ago.

But at this moment, Zhang Zong suddenly heard a burst of laughter coming from the side, which made him and Taiping turn their heads and look. As a result, Wu Meiniang was having a good chat with a lady in the palace dress, and she looked at Zhang Zong while chatting, as if the content of the conversation was related to him.
