Four imperial edicts to reward the same family was a rare sight in the Tang Empire. The fact that Li Zexuan was favored by the Emperor made people look at him in a different light.
But were these rewards really a lot?
Not at all!
Although there were four imperial edicts as rewards, the real benefits were only four hundred households and a hundred thousand gold coins. The rest were nothing more than empty titles! Compared to Li Zexuan's contributions, these rewards were really not much. Think about it, if Li Zexuan did not help, even if Sun Simiao could rush back in time, it was unlikely that he would be able to produce the antidote immediately. With the epidemic spreading like wildfire, the delay in producing the antidote would increase the number of people infected with cholera. When the number of people could not be controlled, the Tang Empire's capital, Chang 'an, would be in great danger!
Therefore, the rewards given by Li Er were not much at all!
"Haha! Good! Good! Today is really a day of great joy! Hahahaha! "
After Zhao Song left, Li Jingmo laughed heartily.
It was rare that Madam Li did not dampen Old Li's enthusiasm. She looked at her son lovingly and said, "Xuan 'er is getting more and more favored by the Emperor. Thanks to you, Xuan' er, offering the antidote for cholera, not only did you save the people, but you also earned a title for your father. Your father will be happy for a while!"
Old Li was immediately unhappy. "Ha! Madam, weren't you unwilling to let Xuan 'er help the King of Wei treat cholera? "
Madam Li said unhappily, "I was afraid that our son would accidentally contract cholera too!"
"So you're not afraid now?"
"… You! You're just a seventh-rank winged cavalry captain, how dare you talk back to a third-rank Honorary Lady? You're offending your superiors! "
"Hey! Madam, this is not how things are supposed to be! "
Seeing their parents quarreling, Li Zexuan and Han Yuxi couldn't help but look at each other and smile. This was life!
"Brother, why are you all rewarded but not Lan 'er? Lan' er is your sister, I also contributed!"
The little cutie tugged at Li Zexuan's arm and looked up at him.
…
Overjoyed, Li Jingmo and Mrs. Li discussed and decided to return to the Li Mansion in Chang 'an for a while. According to Li Jingmo's father, such a joyous occasion should be celebrated with the servants in the mansion. Although it was comfortable to live in Yunshan, it was not as lively as Chang' an.
Before leaving, Madam Li specially called Li Zexuan to the side and said, "Xuan 'er, you and Yuxi have been married for quite some time now. It's time for you to have a child. Mother and your father are going back to Chang' an to stay, and we'll bring Lan 'er back as well. You and Yuxi must hurry up! Mother is waiting to hold a grandson! "
Li Zexuan was suddenly enlightened. He finally understood why the old couple had suddenly clamored to return to Chang 'an. It turned out that they wanted to create a couple's world for him and Han Yuxi. "Mother, we are still young! What's the hurry? "
Mrs. Li Zexuan couldn't help but slap Li Zexuan's arm. "What's wrong with being young? Look at Mei Jun and Han Xiaoyun, aren't they the same as you? Look at how adorable his Huan 'er is! You and Yuxi should hurry up! "
Li Zexuan didn't want to disappoint his mother, so he didn't say much. He just vaguely agreed.
Around three in the afternoon, Li Jingmo and Madam Li brought Lan 'er, who also missed Chang' an. They dressed lightly and rode down Yunshan in a carriage, rushing towards Chang 'an.
Li Zexuan asked Pang Feiji to bring a team of personal guards to follow behind them. He entrusted them to stay in Chang 'an and protect his parents. As for himself, Li Zexuan felt that he didn't need protection at all. The academy had three Great Grandmasters guarding it, so it was very safe!
After watching his parents leave, Li Zexuan didn't have time to spend some alone time with his wife. He was called over by Mo Zhong to Yanhuang College.
Li Gang heard that Li Zexuan was going to bring the civil and military officials to the academy to admire the moon with binoculars tonight. He wanted Li Zexuan to return to the academy in advance to take charge of the situation and make arrangements in advance to prevent any accidents!
The old teacher had already treated the academy as his home. The students of the academy were his children. If something happened to Li Zexuan in the academy, the entire academy wouldn't have an easy time. Therefore, the old teacher was especially attentive!
…
At 5: 45 pm, the sky gradually darkened. A full moon appeared in the sky, but it didn't look very bright. The civil and military officials who were admiring the moon led by Li Zexuan ascended Yunshan and arrived at the gate of the academy.
They saw that there were big lanterns hanging on both sides of the road leading out of the academy. They were hung up every five steps, making the entire academy as bright as day even at night.
Li Zexuan brought the "leadership" of the academy to the "school gate" to welcome them personally.
"Ha! I'm just here to try the binoculars. You're so good, making such a big fuss. I wonder how much money you've spent! "
After exchanging pleasantries, Li Zexuan pointed at Li Zexuan and scolded him jokingly as he walked.
Li Zexuan cursed in his heart, but he said, "Your Majesty and the officials of the imperial court came to the academy to admire the moon. Of course, the academy should prepare in advance! Otherwise, if Your Majesty and everyone accidentally knocked or bumped into each other in this pitch-black darkness, wouldn't it be my fault? "
"Haha! You're getting more and more glib-tongued! "
Li Zexuan said unhappily.
After exchanging a few more words, they arrived at the courtyard of Guang Hua Building.
A huge binoculars came into view!
Li Zexuan looked at it with interest. He touched and knocked on it for a long time before asking, "How do I use this?"
Li Zexuan explained, "Your Majesty only needs to put your eyes in front of the cylinder. Then, you'll see a whole new world!"
The angle of the binoculars had been adjusted in advance. There was no need for Li Zexuan to do anything. He just needed to look!
Li Zexuan nodded. Under the gazes of the officials, he bent his knees slightly and put his eyes in front of the binoculars. Suddenly … Li Zexuan opened his mouth in shock. He saw a bumpy sphere in the binoculars!
When the attentive officials saw this, they couldn't help but be secretly shocked. Even before Li Zexuan ascended the throne, he didn't show his emotions on his face, let alone now that he was the emperor. He didn't show his emotions on his face. But now, Li Zexuan looked so surprised that people couldn't help but think. What kind of scenery could surprise Li Zexuan, the emperor of a country?
The more they thought about it, the more eager they were to use the binoculars. But here came the problem. Li Zexuan had been in front of the binoculars for almost 15 minutes, but he still didn't have any intention of leaving. What could the officials do? Could they go up and kick Li Zexuan away?
So, they could only wait at the side for Li Zexuan to finish using it!
