Time flies very quickly. The Tang Dynasty has entered the end of the year and the war with Tubo has not started in winter. However, Hou Junji has occupied the fortress in Tubo, and the altitude sickness of the soldiers is gradually eliminating. According to this situation, if nothing unexpected happens, the beginning of next spring will be the end of Tubo.

This winter, Chang'an City was not peaceful. Two major events that were praised by people happened. One was that Prince Li Chengqian, who had disappeared from the palace for more than half a year, came back. Moreover, the prince's lame leg had been cured. From then on, no one could point fingers behind his back. The queen was moved to tears.

Everyone was speculating that the prince was going out for medical treatment, but what was even more surprising was that the prince came back this time and it was said that his whole body had changed. Even the emperor often praised him for his progress, so this incident caused many people with ulterior motives to have new fantasies.

Another big thing is that Princess Changle got married. With the help of the emperor, Du Shaoqing finally held a wedding with his wife Princess Changle in Chang'an. Although there were not many people, they were all people who were close friends with Du Shaoqing, and the wedding was not bad.

The most important thing is that even after that, even if Du Shaoqing settled in Chang'an, Princess Changle was still secretly moved, thinking that her husband stayed in Chang'an because of her. In fact, she didn't know that Du Shaoqing was going to avoid disaster or take revenge. It was no longer possible to go back to Luoxia Town. The enemy was powerful, and if he left Chang'an City, he would die.

Because Du Shaoqing's Earl's Mansion was large and there were no maids and servants, he asked Li Chengqian to call his third uncle and his family and several other friends when he came back. Dahu was also taken out of the imperial kitchen of the palace. From then on, the Du family in Luoxia Town lived in Chang'an.

Although everyone knows that Du Shaoqing is Du Ruhui's son, Du Shaoqing did not recognize his ancestors. The ancestral tablets worshipped by his Earl's Mansion are still the Du family branch of Luoxia Town. People in Chang'an have mixed opinions, but Du Shaoqing doesn't care about these things.

The prince Li Chengqian came that day, Du Shaoqing let him into the living room, and the two sat around the stove. Li Chengqian sighed. Six months ago, he was a prince who was almost deposed. Who would have thought that his position would become more stable and he would gain a foothold in the East Palace again after six months? All this is thanks to the person in front of him. At this time, Li Chengqian really admired the vision of his mother, Empress Changsun.

"Why did your highness come to chat with me today?" Du Shaoqing asked with a smile while fiddling with the charcoal fire inside the brazier.

Li Chengqian said unhappily: "You and the fifth sister are married, that's my dear sister. You should call me "Brother."

Du Shaoqing looked at the prince carefully and smiled: "Brother? It's true that you are my brother-in-law, but you seem to be younger than me, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

"You... are so etiquette and law. Forget it, I'm not used to letting me call you brother-in-law. Let's just use the word "expression" to match it. My word "expression" is so smart, what about you?" Li Chengqian asked.

Du Shaoqing was stunned. The word "其" was called Du Shaoqing. Both fathers died early, and no one called "其" and shook his head and said, "No, just pretend that it is Shaoqing."

"It's so strange. You are a talented man and don't even have the word "a face". Do you want me, my brother-in-law, to help you get it?" Li Chengqian quipped.

"Didai, if you have nothing to do, I won't be with you. Today I agreed to take my little sister to Duling to visit the veterans." Du Shaoqing stood up and began to expel the guests.

When Li Chengqian saw it, he hurriedly said, "There is nothing else. I am here to visit the virtuous. My father is going to put some burden on me. I am afraid I can't take it down, so I want you to help me. I am your brother-in-law, so you can't ignore it."

Du Shaoqing waved his hand repeatedly, "Don't say that my brother-in-law invited me, even if my father-in-law invited me, I didn't say that I was recuperating. Didn't I say that I was recuperating? I have been having a two-year vacation with the court. We have discussed this matter in Luoxia Town. Choosing talents is the ability you must learn, and I can't help you."

"But you are the most talented person in the Tang Dynasty in my eyes. Do you want me to leave the near and far? Wouldn't you be wasting talents if you don't ask you to come out?" Li Chengqian asked.

"There are countless talents in the world. Don't you see how many around His Majesty? Who has ever seen His Majesty catch a person all day and use it?" Du Shaoqing retorted, and Li Chengqian thought to himself that it was, and it can be seen that Du Shaoqing is still unwilling to take responsibility, so he no longer bothers him, but he proposed to go to Duling with him, as there is nothing wrong anyway.

Du Shaoqing put thick clothes on his daughter, put on gloves and hats, and wrapped them in a good cloak. He got on a carriage with the princess and headed towards Duling, not far from Chang'an.

At that time, 100 guards who followed Du Shaoqing to fight against Tubo, 68 were killed in battle, and only 32 survived. Du Shaoqing distributed all the only 3,000 taels of silver in his family to the families of these 100 soldiers. It can be said that the pensions and rewards were ten times the normal situation in the army. Despite this, Du Shaoqing still felt guilty.

Because if it weren't for these hundred people sacrificing their lives to save them, I'm afraid his life would have been written on the Tubo battlefield, and I wouldn't have waited for Wu Zhao to send him a life-saving antidote.

"The eldest son is here, look, it's the eldest son!" All the veterans were arranged in a village by Du Ruhui back then, and they made a living by farming the fields. It was a good thing to live and work here without fighting and killing. Someone saw Du Shaoqing's frame and hurriedly came up and shouted.

Du Shaoqing looked at a veteran with his right arm with a broken root and was about to come and help him get out of the car, so he jumped down and grabbed the other party first, "Uncle Wu, the wind is very cold outside. You dare not see the wind after breaking your arm. Come back to the house to warm it up."

The veteran's eyes were filled with tears and grabbed Du Shaoqing's hand tightly and said, "Young Master, why are you afraid of the cold? When you come here, Lao Wu will come to greet you even if you are crawling."

"Yes, my eldest son, we were the master's personal guards, but now we are your personal guards. It is not good to protect the master on the battlefield, so you are poisoned by arrows. You are still treating us well without grudges. Such a great kindness cannot be repaid." Many people gathered around and shouted.

"I can't do it, today I'll take a look at you and give me some New Year's things."

Du Shaoqing greeted everyone one by one, and at the same time he greeted several guys to come over to drive another delivery cart.

At this time, his daughter Xuanxuan poked her head out of the carriage and looked at a group of people surrounding her father curiously. A gust of cold wind blew, causing the little girl to shiver, sneeze three times in a row, tears fell, and she shouted aggrievedly at Du Shaoqing: "Dad, it's too cold, I can't go down!"

But as soon as he finished calling, the princess in the carriage was not allowed, so she jumped out of the carriage with her daughter in her arms. Everyone saw that, okay, the eldest son is still bringing his family?

"Hurry, don't freeze the wife and the little lady. Let's go to Lao Wu's house, and he has made a brazier."
