Chapter 1928 Welcome the King of Foreign Land Back to Beijing!

Five billion taels of gold!

This is probably something that the entire Tang Dynasty cannot achieve even with decades of taxation, not to mention that there will be many pearls, agates, and various treasures in the future.

In the history of the Tang Dynasty, this situation had never happened before.

Not only did all the people who died in the war receive generous pensions, but all the families, people, and craftsmen who contributed in the war received heavy rewards and compensation. All the consumption in the war was paid for by this war indemnity.

Not only that, the imperial court has also issued an official document long ago, saying that this huge sum of money will be used for people's livelihood, building roads, repairing farmland, water conservancy, supporting displaced elderly people and children, and every family will receive a large sum of money. Used for production and life.

The early funds have already been distributed to various states and governments.

In the later period, there will be a large amount of funds to help the people of the entire Tang Dynasty live and develop.

Not only did the war not cause harm to the people, but it benefited all the people and provided resources and funds for the development of the entire Middle-Earth. This had never happened in previous dynasties.

In this case, why are there so many conflicts between soldiers and scholars?

Confucianism opposes military strategists because it wastes people and money. But if every foreign war can greatly promote the development of the empire and bring so much wealth, how can everyone complain? I'm afraid everyone in the court has given their full support.

Of course, the most important thing is that this time, Wang Chong and others saved the entire Middle-earth.

"Let's go! Everyone go and greet us!"

Civil servants and civilians got on the carriages one after another and rushed towards the west of the city.

The entire capital was in a lively mood. Civil and military officials, common people, and almost the entire capital went to greet someone. This kind of grand occasion had never happened before.

Time passed slowly, and just when everyone was looking forward to seeing what was going on, a voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears:

"Look, the foreign king's carriage is coming!"

"Where? Where?"

For a moment, the crowd became restless and looked towards the west. When the gorgeous royal carriage and the battle flag of the Tang Dynasty appeared in everyone's sight in the distance——

boom!

In an instant, the crowd was in an uproar. Near the city gate, far and near, a burst of cheers broke out like a mountain falling and the earth was shattering.

"King of Foreign Land!"

"King of Foreign Land!"

"King of Foreign Land!"

…

Everyone looked excited, their faces were red, and they roared and shouted almost with all their strength. The sound was earth-shattering and could reach dozens of miles!

And amidst the cheers of the crowd, the black army of more than 100,000 people returning from the Great Eclipse slowly appeared in everyone's field of vision amidst the rumbling tremors of the earth.

The capital is the center of power and the core hinterland of the empire. Under normal circumstances, these hundreds of thousands of troops are never allowed to enter the capital. But this time it is different. The entry of the army into the capital is an order personally issued by the Holy Emperor, so that the people of the capital can see these heroes with their own eyes. It is also a recognition of those soldiers who fought bloody battles and forged the battlefield.

"boom!"

And amidst the cheers that shook the sky, almost at the same time, Wang Chong also noticed the movement in the carriage.

"Sir, we have arrived in the capital!"

Zhang Que rides a war horse,

The sound came from outside the carriage.

"Um!"

Wang Chong nodded, opened the curtain, and immediately saw the dark crowd at the city wall in the distance. Even from a long distance away, Wang Chong could feel the atmosphere of celebration and warm welcome.

This battle lasted less than half a year, but in Wang Chong's perception, it seemed as long as several years.

When he went there, the battle between soldiers and scholars made Wang Chong go through a lot, but now, what Wang Chong felt was one-sided crowding and support, like a heroic triumphal ceremony, which made Wang Chong sigh with emotion. .

However, the most important thing is that this war has baptized the entire empire and united everyone's hearts. This is the most important thing, and it is what Wang Chong has always wanted to see!

Rumble, as the carriage approached, the crowd became more and more intense, and the cheers became more and more enthusiastic.

Countless people had sharp eyes, stood on tiptoes, stretched their necks and looked forward, just to see Wang Chong for the first time when he returned to the capital.

"stop!"

Near the city gate, Wang Chong raised an arm, and the next moment, the army suddenly stopped. Wang Chong pondered for a moment, then quickly opened the door and walked out of the carriage.

"boom!"

Seeing Wang Chong walking out of the carriage, dressed in a robe, extraordinary in martial arts, as if he were a god descending, the crowd that was already excited suddenly exploded, and the earth-shattering cheers increased several times, and they continued for hundreds of miles. It can be clearly heard outside.

And the crowd went completely crazy!

"King of Foreign Land!"

"King of Foreign Land!"

"King of Foreign Land, I like you!"

…

Waves of cheers shook the earth, and there were also many shy and excited screams of beautiful girls.

Among the crowd, Wang Chong just smiled indifferently and walked forward.

At the city gate, there are forbidden troops to maintain order.

Wang Chong had just taken two steps forward when he was suddenly startled. He saw the crowd parting. Hundreds of civil and military officials and many ministers, dressed in court uniforms, were walking forward in a neat queue. They were only seven or eight steps away from Wang Chong. At this place, everyone lowered their heads and bowed respectfully.

"Congratulations to welcome the foreign king back to the capital!"

"The Kaifu Yi and the Third Division Zhao Bi met with the King of Foreign Territory. The King of Foreign Territory defeated Dashi and promoted the prestige of the Tang Dynasty. Zhao Bi was filled with admiration and specially prepared a small gift to celebrate your triumph!"

"Han Sanyuan, the Mu of Jingzhao Prefecture, has met the Foreign King. The Foreign King defeated Dashi. He is the hero of our Tang Dynasty. Han has specially prepared a small gift. I hope you will not give it up!"

"Deng Youlong, the imperial censor, is the prince of the foreign land. He congratulates the foreign king on his triumphant return and prepares a small gift!"

"The Sixteenth Guards General Wei Wutao celebrates the king of a foreign land and wishes you a triumphant return!"

"Taichang Qing Jiang Youshuan has met with you, and I have prepared a small gift for you. Please accept it!"

"The Duke of Guo's Mansion would like to send you a great gift to congratulate the hero of the Tang Dynasty on his triumphant return!"

"The Duke of Tan's Mansion would like to send you a great gift to congratulate the hero of the Tang Dynasty on his triumphant return!"

"Prince De sends you a big gift to congratulate the hero of the Tang Dynasty on his triumphant victory!"

"Prince Shou gives you a big gift to congratulate the hero of the Tang Dynasty on his triumphant victory!"

"The Zhang family in the capital would like to congratulate the hero of the Tang Dynasty on his triumphant return!"

"The Wei family in the capital congratulates the hero of the Tang Dynasty on his triumphant return!"

"The Chu family of the capital congratulates our hero of the Tang Dynasty on his triumphant return!"

…

In front of the entire west city gate, the voices of celebration came one after another, and they continued for a long time.

Near the city gate, listening to these civil and military officials delivering gifts to Wang Chong, all the people, men, women, old and young, looked happy. It was a taboo for officials to give gifts blatantly, but no one in the capital thought there was anything wrong with it.

The king of the foreign land saved the Tang Dynasty and all the people of the Middle Earth Divine Continent. Even if the officials gave him gifts, it would not matter. Everyone would only be happy for Wang Chong.

Thinking about the injustice Wang Chong suffered in the Confucian War, everyone would just think it was too little!

At the gate of the city, Wang Chong looked at the row after row of figures, large and small, bowing to congratulate him. Hearing the voices of "Congratulations to the heroes of the Tang Dynasty on their triumphant victory" one after another, Wang Chong was deeply moved.

"My lords, please wake up. Wang Chong just did what he should do. My lords' words are serious!"

As Wang Chong spoke, he bowed in return.

After greeting everyone one by one, Wang Chong ordered the possessed Zhang Que to accept everyone's gifts.

"King of Foreign Land, let's go to the palace to face the Holy Spirit first. His Majesty is still waiting."

Finally, an official came forward and spoke proactively.

Starting from the west gate of the city, Wang Chong got on the carriage again and headed towards the palace amidst the crowds of people.

Around them, the crowd gathered more and more, following them like a shadow all the way.

And just at the entrance of the imperial city, all the people stopped.

Right at the gate of the imperial city, a majestic figure wearing a golden five-clawed dragon robe stood there majestically.

Although it was just a casual stop, that person naturally exuded an air of dominion over the world and contempt for the common people.

Everything, including everything in heaven and earth, seemed insignificant in front of that person.

It seemed as if wherever that person appeared, it would naturally become the center of the world!

"His Majesty!"

Wang Chong was sitting in the carriage and felt the familiar aura from a distance. The only one in the world who could possess such a aura was His Majesty the Holy Emperor!

Wow, Wang Chong opened the carriage door, walked out, and saw the Holy Emperor on the city gate at a glance.

Just like what Wang Chong remembered, the aura of the Holy Emperor was always so majestic and noble, but it was different from usual. There was a hint of yearning on that majestic face.

——Even Wang Chong did not expect that the Holy Emperor would personally come forward to greet him at the imperial city gate.

"Weak minister Wang Chong, please see your majesty!"

Facing the Holy Emperor on the imperial city, Wang Chong bowed respectfully and bowed.

At the same time, all the people in the capital, including civil and military officials, knelt down in all directions.

"Long live the Five Emperors!"

Waves of heartfelt cries resounded through the city gate.

The Holy Emperor had ruled for decades and single-handedly brought the Tang Dynasty to an unprecedented peaceful and prosperous age. Even Wang Chong was promoted by the Holy Emperor. The Holy Emperor had the supreme status in the hearts of the people.

"Flat body!"

The Holy Emperor looked down and smiled calmly, and his loud voice resounded throughout the capital.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The crowds all around stood up one after another, and on the high imperial city, the Holy Emperor turned his eyes and quickly fell on Wang Chong.

"Wang Chong, you are finally here. I really saw you right!"

There was appreciation and trust in that look, as well as relief and joy. Thousands of words were all condensed into one sentence.

At that moment, Wang Chong was deeply moved.

In the battle in the northwest, the Holy Emperor put all the troops in the country and the fate of the Middle-earth China into his own hands. This trust and trust was no small matter.

Moreover, the king sits in the high hall. In the entire Tang Dynasty or the former Sui Dynasty, no king has ever personally come to the gate of the imperial city to greet the returning general. Throughout the dynasties, only Wang Chong has enjoyed this honor.

Not to mention, the Holy Emperor is recognized by everyone as the Eternal Ming Emperor and the Ming Lord of the Middle Earth, so this kind of courtesy is even more rare.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Fortunately, I have lived up to my duty and lived up to your Majesty's trust!"

Wang Chong lowered his head and said respectfully.
