The war in Youzhou hadn't been very long, but Wang Chong felt like it had taken years.

Regardless, An Lushan had been executed and the Youzhou army no longer existed. That An-Shi Rebellion that had set the Great Tang on the path to decline had vanished without a trace.

So long as the Great Tang was prosperous, the people would be safe and happy, and the sort of widespread misery from his last life would not exist. For Wang Chong, this was the greatest reward.

Amidst a sea of people, the army passed through the gate and entered the capital. The excited and admiring eyes of the crowd made all the soldiers feel that their efforts had been worthwhile.

"His Majesty arrives!" A shrill voice rang out, instantly silencing the crowd.

Escorted by numerous Imperial Army soldiers and Golden Guards, and leading the officials of the court, a dragon palanquin swiftly began to make its way toward Wang Chong.

Upon the palanquin was a youthful figure in an imperial robe, his eyes calm and his demeanor hallowed as he glanced at Wang Chong.

The Emperor of the Great Tang, Li Heng!

Ever since they had received news that the war was over, Li Heng and the officials had been itching with excitement. When they received news that the army was returning to the capital, Li Heng had decided to personally lead the officials to the city gate to welcome them.

Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven had always presided over the court. The farthest he would go was the gate of the Imperial Palace. Li Heng was giving Wang Chong an unprecedentedly high level of treatment.

"The lowly subject pays respects to His Majesty!

"In the Youzhou war, your subject fulfilled his mission, and returns today victorious to report to Your Majesty!"

Wang Chong took several steps forward and bowed, his voice resounding over the eastern gate.

The world grew still as the entire crowd looked to Wang Chong and Li Heng.

At this moment, these two seemed like the center of the world.

The sovereign was the sovereign and the subject was the subject.
