"Brother Li, it's really you?"

Li Cao's arrival was a surprise and a joy for Qin Jin, since he arrived in Chang'an, the feeling of lack of talents around him is worse than a day, although since the news of Li Heng's ascension to the throne has been announced to the world, many people have risked their lives to rush to Chang'an every day, but there are still not many people available. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The reason for this is that most of the Chang'an officials fled after Li Longji's western hunt, and some of these people who defected later lacked their own abilities and had limited use. Some have doubtful identities and dare not use them lightly. In the final analysis, Qin Jin is surrounded by some grassroots talents, and there are very few who can give advice around him, or even none.

When he was in Xin'an, this Li Cao left a deep impression on him, not only brave but also strategic, definitely a first-class talent in the world.

"Doctor Yu Shi is above, please accept Li Cao's worship!"

Qin Jin had never been accustomed to being bowed down by others, so he grabbed Li Cao's body that was about to bow down.

"The current Chang'an does not talk about false etiquette, and the subordinates are just a glance when they see the Son of Heaven, and it is already a very formal etiquette for the upper and lower officials to bow their heads!"

While speaking, Qin Jin personally pulled Li Cao into the house. The charcoal stove in the house was burning brightly, and the coals crackled inside, and you felt the heat hit your face when you entered the door. Li Cao has suffered a lot of sins in the past few months outside, he can't eat enough and often suffers from cold, and now he feels like a world away when he returns to Chang'an.

If it weren't for the thrilling encounters outside, I would have thought that it would still be a peaceful and prosperous world.

The two sat down separately, and immediately an entourage served hot tea. Obviously, the handyman here didn't know Qin Jin's habit of not drinking tea soup, he only raised the tea soup pottery bowl to his mouth symbolically posed, and then gently put it down. The strong spice taste in the tea soup really made him feel sick to his stomach.

On the contrary, it was Li Cao, who didn't care about the heat after picking up the tea bowl, and drank it one by one, and was already sweating profusely when he put down the bowl. He hadn't tasted tea soup for too long, and when he drank it, he only felt that his limbs and bones were extremely happy.

"Brother Li is willing to work in the Shenwu Army?"

Qin Jin has never liked to go around in circles, so as to get straight to the point. On the contrary, he was stunned, he dreamed of entering the Shenwu Army, because he knew that the Tang Army in the world, only the Shenwu Army had the strength to fight in front of the rebels, and it was not exactly what every scholar dreams of?

Seeing that Li Cao was stunned and didn't speak, Qin Jin was secretly a little disappointed, didn't Li Cao seem to have entered the army as an official?

Qin Jin has never been strong, if Li Cao is really unwilling to join the Shenwu Army, of course he will not be reluctant.

"If Brother Li finds it inconvenient, Qin can recommend you to the Son of Heaven to become an official!"

It wasn't until Qin Jin said this sentence that Li Cao suddenly woke up, and immediately got up and took a long look.

"Entering the Shenwu Army, driven by the Imperial Doctor, Li Cao can't ask for it!"

Qin Jin turned his worries into joy, but he was blindly worried.

With Qin Jin as a guarantor, Li Cao naturally did not have to wait for his identity to be verified in this temporary station, and was led to the door of a house in the city by a special person.

"The Imperial Doctor has an order, and this place will be used as the king's living place from today onwards, and there will be servants sent to the palace later. ”

The previous owner of this house was obviously an elegant person, although the area was not wide, but it was full of chic charm, and it was very suitable for Li Cao's temperament after walking around.

Before he could settle down, there was a knock on the door outside, and Li Cao was surprised, who could he come from just checking in? Maybe the servants had arrived. But when he opened the door of the house, he was surprised to find several bearded people standing outside.

"This is Li Cao's residence?"

Li Cao was a little displeased, and it was extremely impolite to call him by his name, but then the few people with beards under their chins shouted in unison:

"The Son of Heaven has an edict, Li Cao kneels to greet him!"

In just eight words, all the displeasure disappeared. Li Cao was about to kneel down to accept the call, but one of the bearded people under his jaw was in a hurry and held him up.

"It doesn't have to be like this, now the Son of Heaven is calling for a new atmosphere, all red tape is simple, and bowing down to accept the edict!"

Li Cao was surprised, he had been taught once before meeting with Qin Jin, and now he was actually exempted from the etiquette of the edict, it seems that today's determination is not small.

"Oral edict, Li Cao entered the palace from a fast ......"

Summoned by the Son of Heaven, this was definitely a surprise for Li Cao. After he entered the city, he had not yet spent the night, when the Son of Heaven learned the news, and summoned him overnight.

Those few beardless people under their chins were naturally eunuchs in the palace, and when they saw Li Cao crying and wiping away tears, they gently persuaded each other:

"The summoning of the Son of Heaven is a great joy, where does the crying come from......?

Li Cao said with tears in her eyes:

"Li Cao is happy, happy ......"

A young eunuch snorted and laughed:

"You literati are also strange, you cry when you are happy, and women don't like to wipe your tears as you do!"

Several people forced a smile and led Li Cao in the direction of the imperial city. Entering the Taiji Palace through the Imperial City, Li Cao felt as if he had fallen into a dream, and now he couldn't believe that this was all really happening to him.

After entering the palace gate, the summoned eunuchs disappeared, and the one responsible for leading Li Cao was replaced by a small yellow door. Xiao Huangmen's attitude was much more respectful than that, and he didn't dare to say more than half a word along the way, and even walked with a cautious look.

It was the first time for Yu Li Cao to go deep into the palace like this, and when he saw the strict rules of the eunuchs in the palace, he couldn't help but sigh again, this is the royal bearing.

Turning east and west, Li Cao was led to the door of a convenient hall, and the little yellow gate stood still, and said softly:

"Your Majesty is in the hall, please go in!"

Li Cao, who had no reason, was excited in his heart, this was the first time he had met the new emperor. And what he saw and felt after entering the city had an excellent impression on him, because he was both expectant and nervous in his heart.

Li Cao's nervous palms were even sweaty and slippery.

Entering the temple, the imaginary glorious scene did not appear. The scale of this hall in the Taiji Palace is not large, but it is still much larger than the hall of ordinary people, and there are only two candlesticks on the side of the Son of Heaven and the desk in the large hall.

The range that the two candlesticks can illuminate is only the range of two steps on Monday for the Son of Heaven. Li Cao stood at the door of the hall, and he couldn't even see the appearance of the Son of Heaven clearly.

"The criminal minister Li Cao is safe to see His Majesty the Emperor!"

Although he had heard more than once that the Son of Heaven had issued an edict to meet red tape, he still habitually bowed down.

Only then did the Son of Heaven straighten up from the state of lying on the desk.

"Li Qing may not know that I have already issued an edict to meet red tape, and I will be simple in the future!"

Under the guidance of the eunuchs in the palace, Li Cao came to a cushion and sat down.

"I just got a letter from Dr. Yushi, saying that Li Qing arrived in Chang'an through thousands of difficulties and dangers, and I am extremely impressed!"

Li Heng, who has just become the Son of Heaven, has not changed his previous attitude of accepting people and things because of the change in his status and status, and even in front of his courtiers, he always calls himself me. So much so that Li Cao didn't feel that he was sitting under the same roof as the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty.

Today's courtesy to Li Cao is really beyond expectations. Before that, he was just one of the Shenwu Army members of the army, until the Shenwu Army was defeated in the mutiny, Chen Xuanli lost power and dismissed the official and won the title, and the entire Shenwu Army also existed in name only. Since then, the errand of joining the army has not been able to be done, because the Shenwu Army has been ** in fact, and in the last few months, it has almost reached the point where he can't even receive it

What is the reason why the Son of Heaven is so polite, Li Cao is playing a drum in his heart, but it is not good to ask rashly. If someone else is summoned by the Son of Heaven and wants to boast that he is an omnipotent figure in heaven and earth, how can he be so unconfident? But soon, the Son of Heaven explained this question for him.

"Dr. Yu Shi specially emphasized the one-sided relationship with Li Qing in Xin'an in the letter, and today I can see that it is indeed worthy of its reputation!"

Li Cao was embarrassed, it turned out that the Son of Heaven valued him completely out of his own experience of going to Beijing alone. He himself felt that there was nothing to write about in doing this, but in the eyes of others, he was already a brave and resourceful righteous man and a hero with the world in mind!

Under the circumstance that most of Dugi Province was occupied by An Lushan, the daring to pass through the war-torn states and counties, ventured to Chang'an to deliver a letter, and sent the news that Yan Zhenqing and others had an incident against An Lushan, and I am afraid that there are only a handful in the world.

Since Li Heng is the Son of Heaven, he will inevitably have the same vision as most Sons of Heaven when employing people.

Simplicity can be summed up in three words.

"Loyalty, bravery, and strategy!"

Obviously, Li Cao has all three. In this way, it is not surprising that he can be favored by Li Heng.

It's just that as the Son of Heaven, if you are limited to these three words when employing people, I'm afraid it may not be a good thing. Qin Jin once euphemistically persuaded Li Heng that at this critical moment when the world was in danger, in addition to valuing loyalty and courage, it was also necessary to value a capable character. As long as it is properly controlled, even traitors can benefit the country.

The most feared thing is to put the wrong person in the wrong position.

It's a pity that many words are not something that courtiers can say to the monarch with a standpoint, and Qin Jin's tactful advice is superficial.

"Although the minister is not talented, he is willing to die for His Majesty!"

In just a few words, Li Heng was very happy.

"If it weren't for the fact that Doctor Yushi asked you to go to the army first, I would have left you in Zhongshu Province and could consult every day. ”

Staying by the Son of Heaven is a great temptation for anyone, but for Li Cao, it is far less attractive than relying on the favor of the Son of Heaven to get a high-ranking official.

Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, there was a faint explosion outside the hall, and Li Cao even felt that the ground was trembling faintly.

Seeing the look of surprise on Li Cao's face, Li Heng smiled instead.

"Li Qing doesn't have to be afraid, this is the ordnance supervisor trying to produce a new type of firearm, and it is all thanks to these new objects that a large number of casualties have been avoided!"
