When the autumn wind blows across the grassland, everything returns to its original calm, because there is no longer a war. A few months later, the imperial army returned to the court, and the name Tubo will no longer exist with the end of the war, because from then on

Tubo will be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. After Weisong was taken to the capital, Li Min did not make it difficult, but still retained the title of king, but from then on he lost the freedom he deserved.

In the place where Weisong was imprisoned, Weisong often sat in the courtyard, looking at the cracked Fang Tianhua halberd in the courtyard. As for why Weisong was like this, no one knew. All they knew was that this man who once dominated the grassland

Tubo Zampu has now become a one-armed and destitute man. Finally, one morning, when the guards came to deliver wine and food, Weisong had already committed suicide in the courtyard...

The victory of the army and its return to the court can be said to be the joy of the whole country. However, it is a pity that Chen Hao, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, was not among the army that returned to the court. As for where Chen Hao is, no one knows. Although the answer given by the court is, Chen Hao

Hao died on the way due to illness due to overwork.

However, some people among the people believe that Chen Hao has achieved great success, retired to seclusion, and become an immortal. Some people privately believe that Chen Hao was unable to achieve any meritorious deeds, so he had to fake his death because he was afraid that his achievements would shock his master. Of course, some people think that Chen Hao was there at that time.

He died in a duel, but this theory is very slim...

The reason why there are many rumors among the people is that in addition to people not wanting to forget this hero who saved the country, the most important thing is that Chen Hao's family members in the capital disappeared overnight. This strange phenomenon has to remind people of the possibility of Chen Hao's death.

.

Some officials and literati also found clues in Li Miao's decree. Because Li Miao's imperial edict was only to grant titles and not to grant titles, this forced everyone to ponder the mystery. Only people who are dead will be granted titles.

, but Li Miao did not pursue the title of this unparalleled hero, but in order to highlight Chen Hao's achievements, he named Chen Hao King An, and Li Miao surrendered his identity and recognized Chen Hao as his brother.

As a result, the weight of Chen Hao, Prince An, will be much heavier, because his status will be much higher than that of a king with a different surname! Such honor among the ministers is unprecedented in the Tang Dynasty!

However, not many people have delved into the truth, because everyone lives in their own perceptions. Three years of fighting finally brought peace to the border. Whenever people mention the name Chen Hao, they will respect it.

They did not hesitate to praise him, because everyone knew that their stable life was closely related to the word Chen Hao.

The name Chen Hao no longer only represents a person, but also represents the symbol of a dynasty. Decades later, whenever people talk about poetry, poetry, profound knowledge, eternal achievements, and comment on literary, Taoist and military strategies...

…The two words Chen Hao, the most widely known name, will eventually be remembered in people’s hearts.

Li Ming also awarded rewards to the meritorious officials who participated in the campaign, and also awarded high-ranking officials generous salaries to several of Chen Hao's brothers. Among them, He Xuan, who was unwilling to be rewarded, was given gold medals by Li Ming to replace local officials in Tianjian.

This is also in line with He Xuan's chivalrous character, and this arrangement allowed He Xuan to get what he wanted.

Among them, Yi Chengtian is worth mentioning. As the marshal of the Second Route Army, he was appointed as Prime Minister and Assistant to the Northern Expedition as a meritorious officer, and he also served as Minister of the Ministry of War. He was a very popular minister for a while. After that, he led troops to suppress several gangs.

After being envoy, he resigned from his post on the grounds of acute illness to recuperate, so Zhang Huaishen took over the post of Minister of War.

In the next ten years or so, the civil servants and military generals of the Tang Dynasty came out. The civil servants, led by the five people who were sworn sworn by Chen Hao, assisted Li Miao in governing the country and ensuring peace in the world. Veteran generals such as Tu Lang and Pugu Jun guarded Bohai and Nanzhao respectively.

, Shi Zhong guarded the Shannan West Road for his father, and a few years later he became a famous general...

After two years of hard work, the devastated Tang Dynasty gradually regained its prosperity. After that, Li Min implemented the suggestions put forward by Chen Hao and implemented population migration and integration in Nanzhao, Bohai and other places. Although Xi

The tribe and the Khitan participated in the Northern Expedition, but after the war, the two tribes tacitly agreed not to ask the court for territory, because the power of the Tang Dynasty's thunderous thunder had given them a sense of crisis.

Although the cavalry of the two tribes was much stronger than that of the Tang Dynasty, they were not stronger than the power of the Thunderous Thunder. Therefore, they chose to remain silent and were willing to submit to the Tang Dynasty. And Li Min did not pursue the faults of the two tribes too much. After all, he was on the Northern Expedition.

The contribution of the two tribes was indispensable. Li Min not only did not use troops, but also gave generous rewards to the two tribes. King Xi Nishelang and the Khitan Khan knew very well that these were all due to their daughters...

In the past two years, Yongtai Company has donated a large amount of property to Shannan West Road, Jiannan Road, Heshuo Town and other places that have experienced the suffering of the war. The amount has far exceeded the imperial treasury. For these righteous merchants,

Everyone in the government and the public were astonished, but Li Wei showed a trace of bitterness, and then wrote in his own handwriting: Yongtai Haoyi, and ordered the Ministry of Industry to make a plaque and send it to Yongtai Company to commend Yongtai Company for its benevolence and righteousness.

There was a calligraphy posted in the palace. This calligraphy was vigorous and powerful and had reached its peak of perfection. It said: Pay attention to industry and commerce, and make the country rich and the people strong. It was just eight words, but it became the standard for the future policies of the Tang Dynasty. Li Miao often looked at it.

These eight words will stand for a long time. He knows that these are the only words of advice left to him by his friend...

…

In the blink of an eye, it was the Qingming Festival again. At the foot of Feifeng Mountain, a large carriage, although not luxurious, was parked. Not far away, there was a tomb and a man stood beside it.

With four women. The handsome man in white clothes has a more mature appearance. Although the four women are simply dressed, they can't conceal their majestic appearance...

The man was surrounded by four children. The older boy tugged on the younger man's sleeves and asked in a childish tone: "Dad, I don't want you to be sad!"

"Silin, please kowtow to your aunt three times!" The man reluctantly smiled at the child.

The boy named Silin obediently loosened the man's sleeves, walked to the grave in a few steps, and kowtowed three times to the grave seriously. His attitude was very respectful and not frivolous at all. The man was relieved to see this.

nodded.

A beautiful woman next to her comforted her: "Changfeng, it's getting late, we should go back. Besides, your friend Yi Chengtian is looking for you to play chess today. You can't break your promise..."

The woman who spoke was Lin Yueyao, and the man in white was Chen Hao, who had not been seen for a long time. The grave in front of him was where Luo Fengjiao was buried. Today was the Qingming Festival, so Chen Hao brought his family to visit the grave.

Back then and Wei

After the Battle of Song Dynasty, he had the intention of retiring. Even if Li Min didn't care about his great achievements, he didn't want to live a life of intrigue. Now that the country has been conquered, how to manage it is not what he needs to worry about.

Yes.

The main reason why he chose to fight Weisong back then was actually because he did not want to lose lives. Although he could destroy the 300,000 troops under Weisong, the Tubo army would attack the city like a tidal wave, and the Tang army would inevitably suffer more casualties. Besides, the 300,000 Tubo troops

Soldiers are also lives. Although Chen Hao is merciless in the overall situation, if he can reduce casualties, Chen Hao would like it because he is not a murderer...

So he took advantage of Weisong not knowing that he knew martial arts, and Weisong was conceited about his superior martial arts, which made Weisong agree to the bet. In this way, he could not only avoid the casualties of 300,000 troops, but also successfully control Tubo.

merge into large

Tang's territory is a gamble that kills two birds with one stone and does not involve fighting. As for whether it will fail, in fact, when Wei Song competed in the capital, he had already seen Wei Song's martial arts routine. Therefore, he was confident against his enemy Wei Song...

…

The four children beside him, the oldest Silin is six years old, and the youngest Silan is only three years old. All four children are smart, especially Silin, the son of Lin Yueyao, who is even more intelligent, and his words and deeds are very special.

As he matures, he seems to have the style of being a father.

Chen Hao stared at the tomb for a long time, then gently touched the inscription and sighed slightly: "Fengjiao, Changfeng will come see you again next year!"

"Silin, Siyuan, Siheng, Silan, it's time for us to go home!" Chen Hao said as he greeted his children one by one, and then took the children's little hands and walked towards the carriage.

Lin Yueyao looked at this situation, but shook her head and smiled: "These children always cling to their fathers, but we mothers are left out in the cold..."

"Sister, Changfeng dotes on the child so much, you have to explain it carefully, otherwise how will you discipline him in the future?" Zi Yuan still said something, but now her words have long lost the coldness of the past, and instead have a kind of aura.

A kind of peaceful softness.

Mulushiya looked at Chen Hao's back, curled her lips angrily and said: "No wonder the children are willing to hang around daddy. It turns out that the bad guys made me and other sisters do it..."

"Keke, three sisters, none of these children are worry-free, they are all ghosts!" Yaonan Nalan smiled with his sleeves hidden, looking at the children who were walking away with a look of doting.

The four girls followed him chatting and laughing. It was almost dusk now.

…

After the carriage left, a woman who looked like a peasant woman was holding a bamboo basket, standing in the distance and looking in the direction of the carriage, but she couldn't help but shed two lines of tears in her eyes.

There is a child standing on the left. This child looks to be about five or six years old. He looks very cute with a hairdo, especially his big watery eyes, which seem to be able to see everything...

When the child saw the peasant woman shedding tears, he tugged on the woman's sleeves. The woman came out of her grief, knelt down and touched the child's head lovingly, and then asked with a forced smile: "Is Sifeng hungry?"

Already?"

"Mom! You are crying!" The child named Sifeng very wisely wiped away the woman's tears with his sleeves.

The woman smiled bitterly: "It's the sand that blinded my eyes!" Then she stood up and said, "Let's go, Sifeng, to visit your aunt's grave!"

The child hummed obediently, and then let the woman hold her little hand and walk forward. As he walked, the child asked the woman: "Mom, who were those people who visited my aunt's grave just now? Why did you avoid them?

?”

"They are your aunt's friends. Why did my mother avoid them? Didn't I just tell you that she sprained her feet and sat down to rest..." The woman spoke vaguely to her son.

The child curled his lips, stubbornly shook off the woman's hand, and said in a childish voice as if he was very angry: "Mom, you can't lie to the child, because the child will be sad..."

When the woman heard what the child said, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if her thoughts were back to six years ago. After a long time, the woman came out of her thoughts and said in a slightly choked voice: "Mom, I know I was wrong, and I will never lie again."

You! Sifeng is obedient, it’s getting late..."

"Mom, the child wants to take the scientific examination in three years..." The child shook the woman's arm proudly.

The woman was not surprised at all by this, but she persuaded her with a worried look on her face: "Mom, I know Si Feng is smart, but you should also know that a tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Don't force yourself to be in the limelight. You are still young.

Why rush..."

"Well! My child, listen to your mother..."

The mother and son came to Luo Fengjiao's grave. The woman was burning ingot candles, while the child first knelt in front of the grave and kowtowed three times. Then he ran to the side of the pine tree and took out a book from his bag to read.

stand up.

The sunset was particularly beautiful at dusk. The woman stared blankly at the children studying seriously under the pine tree. She smiled happily, but in the end she choked and cried. She slowly lowered her body and muttered to herself in front of the tombstone with choked sobs.

Said: "He is still alive... He is really alive... Sifeng is no longer an orphan..." (In ancient times, those who lost their father or mother when they were young were called orphans!)
