After Marrying a Vegetative Princess, I Went Crazy With Joy!

Chapter 78:

Li Er turned to look at the female officers and maids, only to realize later.

Indeed, there were so many people at the scene. He could check Little Princesss stances validity by asking these people.

Tell me, what exactly happened?

The female officer quickly lowered her head and said, Your Majesty, I personally witnessed it. Every word Princess Jinyang said is true.

Hmm?

Li Er couldnt help but furrow his brow. If only Little Princess had said this, he might not have been able to believe it. However, the palaces female officers couldnt possibly lie to him.

Was Su Li the reincarnation of Siddhartha?

Actually, by now, Li Er had already believed most of it. But if what happened today was really, as Little Princess and the female official said, it was not a minor matter.

After thinking for a moment, Li Er called for a servant.

You go to the forest garden and inquire about what happened today. Record all the details and return quickly.

Unknowingly, dusk arrived.

After having dinner with Empress Zhangsun and Little Princess, Li Er reviewed memorials alone in Ganlu Hall.

Before long, he heard the announcement that the chamberlain he had sent to the Forest Garden had returned.

Your Majesty, I went to the Forest Garden and separately questioned the guards and hunters who were present. According to their accounts, both princesses went to the Forest Garden at noon and later went to the animal garden to play

The information the servant gathered was much more detailed than what Little Princess had said. Everyone present at the time was questioned.

And the results they mentioned left Li Er speechless for a while.

Throwing the elephant it was actually true!

Not only that but there was also the incident of the Divine Horse recognizing its master. That Divine Horse was rampaging through the forest garden, but after seeing Su Li, it willingly approached and recognized him as its master.

These things, even just hearing them, sounded unbelievable. And indeed, even the storytellers in Changans various teahouses and restaurants wouldnt dare to come up with such a story!

In the Buddhist scriptures, the all-powerful Buddha had a legend of tossing elephants.

Who could have anticipated that such an event would occur in reality?

Even Li Er was momentarily shocked after confirming this news. He gestured for the attendant to step back. Looking at the memorials on the table again, he no longer had the mindset to handle state affairs.

In the grand hall, the flickering lights highlighted Li Ers resolute face, making it appear even more enigmatic.

After a while, he let out a sigh, and a smile appeared on his face.

This young man!

In the Tang Dynasty, no one dared to question Li Ers wisdom, and no one would doubt his bravery either.

It could be said that Li Er himself conquered a significant portion of the Tang Dynastys territory.

By choosing the more promising role of emperor, Li Er went on to achieve remarkable feats.

In the past Battle of Tiger Prison, Li Er defeated Dou Jiandes army of 100,000 with only 3,500 men.

In Su Lis familiar history, Li Ers conquest of Korea in the eighteenth year of Zhenguan marked a pinnacle moment in his military career.

How impressive was it?

Just a few numbers would suffice.

With 800 Tang troops, they could defeat 10,000 from Goguryeo. With 10,000 Tang troops, they dared to surround Goguryeos 40,000 troops, leaving the enemy unable to cope.

Using only 50,000 troops, the Tang army annihilated 150,000 from Goguryeo in a head-to-head confrontation. Such achievements could only be compared to Zhu Zhongbas humble origins in various dynasties history. Upon closer examination, Zhu Zhongba still ranked behind Li Er.

With such exceptional military talent as a foundation, Li Er understood the importance of personal courage on the battlefield. The Tang Dynasty boasted countless fierce generals, including the immensely strong Weichi Gong and the highly skilled Qin Qiong.

However, the strength of tossing elephants exceeded Li Ers imagination of human capabilities. Searching through his memory, it was likely that only the legendary Xiang Yu, the overlord who could move mountains, could reach such heights.

No, even Xiang Yu probably didnt possess such ability. Xiang Yu was just supernaturally strong in his youth, capable of lifting a cauldron weighing over a thousand catties.

But such a figure was already the formidable general that monarchs of various dynasties had longed for. Which ruler wouldnt desire a powerful warrior like Xiang Yu under their command?

Even if he did not know tactics, relying on personal bravery alone, he could successfully charge into battle. When Li Er was conquering the realm, he also thought that having a general like Xiang Yu would alleviate his worries against tough opponents

Unfortunately, this could only remain a thought. After all, there had been only one such individual throughout the ages. Li Er couldnt have imagined that he would encounter such a remarkable warrior in his lifetime. Coincidentally, this warrior was his own son-in-law!

When luck struck, there was no one stopping it. Who could he argue with about this?

Without a doubt, Su Li possessed a power that far exceeds human limitations!

This individual was beyond being called a mere general. On the battlefield, he was an unparalleled one-man army!

Li Ers first thought was that the Tang Dynasty would possess an unmatched general. Furthermore, his unparalleled bravery was also unparalleled and likely unmatched in the future!

At this point, Yuan Tiangangs words suddenly came to Li Ers mind.

If Your Majesty can use him and get closer to your son-in-law, the country will prosper.

Yuan Tiangang didnt specify where Su Li should be placed at that time. After todays events, Li Er naturally had some considerations.

With such strength, not incorporating him into the military would neglect the responsibility to the million Tang soldiers and the Tang Dynasty itself!

There was no doubt about it!

Su Li was his modern-day Xiang Yu!

Didnt be deceived by the seemingly prosperous state of the Tang Dynasty now; Li Er was not content.

He was well aware that, despite the consensus from courtiers to commoners, there was an indelible stain from eliminating his brother and pressuring his father to abdicate.

During his years as emperor, Li Ers utmost concern had been to achieve greater accomplishments. He was not inclined to coerce historians into covering up his actions. However, it didnt mean Li Er was apathetic towards those actions.

He aimed to prove to his father, his subjects, and future generations of the realm that although he made mistakes, he remained an exemplary emperor, with merits outweighing his faults.

And martial prowess was at the forefront among the deeds that etch an emperors name into history!
