Chapter 1629

As long as the word "filial" still exists, the descendants who succeed to the throne will definitely maintain her reputation and everything about her.

Otherwise, violating filial piety will lose the hearts of the people.

She had considered these problems for a long time and had made a decision in her heart.

However—she didn't want to abdicate now.

Just as she was thinking this, she saw the heavenly soldiers descending from the clouds one by one, landing in the Imperial Palace.

And those original Qianniu guards, seeing the heavenly soldiers descend, had no will to resist, and directly threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground.

The two Li Shimins also landed in the palace and walked over with big strides.

"The Imperial Palace here is really somewhat the same as mine!"

"The layout is probably about the same, just a parallel world."

The two talked and laughed, as if they had returned to their own home.

In fact, this was exactly the case.

Whether it was the maids or the Qianniu guards kneeling on the ground, looking at the two, they were all full of admiration.

At this time, it had been less than fifty years since the death of Taizong in this world, and his heroic name was still passed down by word of mouth and was still very popular.

This was something Wu Zetian could never achieve.

Wu Zetian looked at the two, seeing them with upright features, extraordinary temperament, and a youthful posture, she couldn't help but be greatly shocked.

"Are you the ones who want to seize my empire?"

"No, it's taking back the empire. Wu clan, step down. Fellow Daoist Di has already guaranteed your life. Otherwise, according to what you have done, even executing the nine clans would not be too much."

"Your Majesty is truly domineering!" Wu Zetian smiled, turned to look at the inner palace, her eyes complex, "Just as I knew."

Never expected that the empire would be lost so childishly.

She turned and walked toward the outside of the palace gate.

Step by step, her figure became more and more lonely, her body gradually hunched, and the imperial demeanor gradually disappeared.

In the eyes of everyone, this was just an elderly old woman.

"Fellow Daoist Di, according to what was said before, arrange for someone to take care of her life." Li Shimin waved his hand, "What I promised you, I will naturally fulfill without missing a bit."

Di Renjie bowed: "Many thanks, Your Majesty."

He turned and left, catching up with Wu Zetian.

That day.

The heavenly soldiers occupied the entire territory of the Great Tang, making all the people of the Great Tang feel as if they were in a dream.

Outside the territory.

"The Heavenly Khan has returned, why haven't you surrendered yet?"

In the Tujue, dozens of heavenly soldiers waved their weapons, blew up a small mountain in the distance, and scolded sternly.

The Tujue troops were startled and immediately dismounted and knelt.

"May I ask the immortal, is the Heavenly Khan His Majesty Taizong?"

"Exactly!"

"His Majesty Taizong has returned!"

The Tujue people were very happy, "We are willing to die for His Majesty!"

Although the Tujue had been hammered by Li Shimin many times.

However, they didn't have much hatred in their hearts, but instead were very admiring.

This emperor was brilliant and dared to do what others dared not do.

Whether it was for the Tujue or other foreign races, he appointed people on their merits, and as long as they had talent, they could all enter the Tang to be officials.

For them, this was simply an unprecedented move.

The Central Plains dynasty is treating them as human beings!

Li Shimin therefore became the Heavenly Khan respected by all races and was recognized by all the tribes around the Great Tang.

This recognition was not just lip service.

The appeal of the Great Tang was far beyond what later generations imagined; as long as Li Er gave an order, the tribes would send troops to respond to the Li Tang's decree.

Unfortunately, after Taizong, this kind of thing no longer existed.

After Taizong, they became foreign races again and were not treated as human beings!

Now, Li Shimin returned with heavenly soldiers, and the Tujue people were overjoyed in their hearts, almost shouting out: "Willing to be the dogs of the Great Tang."
