Recommend the new book of Ergen [One Thought Eternal ./book/27094/], read the new work of the great god!

The summer in Chang'an is unbearably hot, and the sun has not risen for less than an hour, and the scorching heat wave has gradually spread. Qin Jin had the habit of getting up early in the army, usually stepping on the hour when the sun was rising, and then washing up early. However, at this moment, he didn't even finish arranging his robe, crown and belt.

After breakfast, I had to go to the Taiji Palace early to meet the Son of Heaven, and the two delicate maids were sweating around Qin Jin one after the other.

In the past, it was the servants in the army who helped him sort out the complicated officials' civilian clothes, but today he returned to the mansion of Yongjiafang, but he was not suitable for these handmaidens who looked sharp but were in a hurry. Obviously, it took a quarter of an hour to finish it all, but the two maidservants refused to let go of even half of the folds, and often one place had to be sorted out several times before it was counted.

However, these are all palace people personally selected by Princess Shou'an, and Qin Jin can only pinch his nose and let them manipulate himself.

However, the two maidservants didn't seem to realize Qin Jin's impatience, but instead discussed which belt should be tied and which knot should be good-looking, and which kind of jade pendant should be tied around the waist to be more graceful.

Qin Jin stood in front of the screen with his arms crossed, his body began to stiffen a little, and he couldn't help but interject:

"You don't need to wear more gold and stone to meet the Son of Heaven, you just need to wear a purple gold fish bag immediately!"

One of the tall maidservants, Jade struck each other with her hands, as if she had suddenly realized, and said again and again:

"The colt said yes, the slave was so busy that I almost forgot it!"

Both of them are not very old, they look like they are fifteen or sixteen years old, and they speak like themselves, full of youthful atmosphere, and they don't have the trembling death of half of the palace slaves.

Qin Jin said in his heart, these two people have met their own masters, who pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, if they change others, if there is a master mother by their side, it will be strange if they are not taught a hard lesson. After laughing for a while, he was a little strange, I really don't know where Princess Shou'an found these childish and innocent maiden palace people?

"Listen to your accent like the local people in Guanzhong. ”

When the tall maid saw the pony asking herself, she was even more excited like a bird, her eyes widened, and she asked curiously:

"How did the colt know that the maid was not a native of Guanzhong?"

At this time, another servant girl with a slightly rounded face patted her arm and said with a coquettish smile:

"It's really stupid, the colt listens to you, and naturally knows it!"

The two maidservants suddenly laughed again, and Qin Jin simply stopped standing tall and waited for them to pick himself up, so he put away his arms and sat down on the cushion.

Just yesterday, he received an edict from the Son of Heaven, ordering him to put down all the official duties in his hands before the big wedding and concentrate on only one thing, that is, to prepare for the big wedding.

Qin Jin couldn't laugh or cry a little, every detail of the big wedding was in charge of a special ceremonial officer, what did he need to prepare? The eunuch who passed on the edict was very understanding and flattering, and he was outspoken about the Son of Heaven, in fact, he just wanted him to relax.

With a long sigh of relief, Qin Jin closed his eyes comfortably, it was really a rare moment of peace, listening to the laughter of the warbler in his ears, he was a little distracted, if this was still the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, the world was peaceful, and there was no danger of war, so relying on the red and green would be a beautiful thing in the world.

"How did the horse sit down?, the robe, the crown and the belt have not yet been arranged, and if you delay any longer, you will miss the time to enter the palace......

The two maidservants couldn't help but say, and pulled Qin Jin up from the couch again, as if he was lazy.

Qin Jin also found it interesting, so he cooperated and was at their mercy, and the two maidservants were busy around Qin Jin for half an hour, which could be regarded as letting him go.

Leaving Yongjiafang, Qin Jin can see the majestic and magnificent Xingqing Palace at a glance, which is where the Emperor Taishang lives, and was once the center of power of the entire Tang Dynasty, but now it is full of people, and the once prominent Yongjiafang has also become a door.

It's just that he went out of a door and entered another door, and Qin Jin suddenly sighed with the fickleness of the world, even if it was a son of heaven, it was difficult to get rid of the tricks of fate.

Seeing that the sun was already rising, Qin Jin always felt uncomfortable, and walked for a while before slowly waking up. This discomfort was entirely due to the sudden idleness, and it was this idleness that made him a little confused.

Visiting the Son of Heaven is just a matter of course, the Son of Heaven is sympathetic to his subordinates, he rests by grace, and he should go to the temple to thank him.

As soon as he entered the imperial city, Qin Jin found that many guards were talking to each other, as if they were talking about something. This is not a normal phenomenon, the forbidden army in charge of guarding the palace gate on weekdays has extremely strict requirements for them, if this happens, not only will the soldiers be punished, but even their main generals will be punished.

It's good now, but he openly exchanged heads and ears in front of important ministers.

Qin Jin was faintly a little angry, but in the end he held back and didn't say anything. After all, the guards in the forbidden place are not controlled by him, and unauthorized interference will attract criticism, especially his own identity is extremely sensitive.

But soon, those misbehaving soldiers also discovered Qin Jin who came on horseback in a low-key manner, and they all quickly returned to normal. Even Qin Jin himself didn't realize that over time, he had developed an oppressive official authority.

The official prestige is an aura formed by those in high positions over time, and the prestige of Qin and Jin has spread all over the land of Guanzhong since the First World War in Chang'an. Most of the guards guarding the palace gate recognized him, and no matter how presumptuous he was, he had to restrain himself in front of this evil god, and he didn't dare to indulge himself.

Qin Jin secretly thought that the guards in the forbidden area were so unbearable, if they were investigated, this account would have to be counted on Li Fuguo's head. It seems that this eunuch is not the best candidate to govern the army, although he is a close confidant of the emperor, it is difficult to rely on this special identity to easily pack up these unruly soldiers.

In the final analysis, leading troops to govern the army is not as simple as training the art of war, but in the final analysis, it is still about controlling and holding the hearts of the people, and if we cannot make the people turn to each other, there is no way to talk about the so-called art of war. Judging from the current situation, these forbidden guards are not elite soldiers, and even once a drastic change occurs, it is not impossible to defect first.

That's why it's said that the soldiers will be brave.

Thinking of this, a city gate general came to Qin Jin to salute.

"The doctor will enter the city early today, and he will be polite at the end......"

Qin Jin looked at it, this city gate general was also very familiar, this person used to be a captain in the unity army, but he didn't want to become a palace gate guard now.

The palace gate guards don't have to fight before going into battle, and they are all responsible, so this person is naturally promoted.

"What about the guard general Huang Xiao here?"

Just listen to this guard say:

"Huang Xiao was transferred, and he was appointed, and today he will start to change from the last general to be here on an errand!"

Qin Jin didn't think of this person's name for a while, but he didn't ask any questions, he understood why these soldiers were so presumptuous, it seemed that the newly arrived guards had failed to serve the public in time.

However, this is also normal, it is common in the army to be disobedient, usually as long as the time is given, capable generals will clean up their subordinates and obey them.

This person has performed well in the unity army, and now that he can be the palace gatekeeper, there is nothing to worry about.

Qin Jin had something on his mind in his heart, and was just about to enter the Taiji Palace, but he heard the guard general say again:

"The doctor may not know that he has just sent back an emergency military report from outside Tongguan, and the messenger who reported the news is covered in blood, and the big guy is worried!"

Qin Jin was also surprised when he heard this, and then he was connected to the envoy covered in blood, so it was naturally associated with the defeat.

At this point, he didn't care about talking to the guards of this palace anymore, and strode towards the Manna Palace, where the Son of Heaven always lived.

When they arrived outside the hall, they saw that several small yellow doors were also talking to each other, but their faces were obviously a little more panicked than those guards in the forbidden area.

With the same apprehension, Qin Jin entered the Manna Palace, but when he saw the Son of Heaven Li Heng smiling with a smile on his face, he was stunned for a moment, and his heart that was originally hanging high finally let go.

If it was bad news, Li Heng would never be able to smile at this time.

"Qin Qing came just in time, and the good news ahead has arrived!"

Qin Jin's heart was shocked, could it be that Fang Xuan had already recovered the eastern capital of Luoyang?

On the contrary, Li Fuguo, who was on the side, had a smile on his face and answered Qin Jin's doubts.

"Fang Xianggong's army has won three battles and three victories, annihilating tens of thousands of enemies, and it has advanced to Luoyang City just ten days ago, and the days of overcoming the eastern capital must be numbered!"

Hearing this, Qin Jin said secretly, no wonder Fang Xuan sent good news but not much fanfare, it turned out that he was not confident enough, before the eastern capital was recovered, all the good news was meaningless, in case of falling short in Luoyang City, the eastern capital, all the previous achievements may be wiped out. Sun Xiaozhe's 200,000-strong army was finally annihilated under the city of Chang'an, which is a ready-made example.

"Yes, it is said that the head of the traitor beheaded by Fang Xianggong piled up a hill outside Luoyang City, and since then the traitors have never dared to confront it head-on!"

Li Heng's voice was full of excitement, but he had to exercise restraint out of the reserve of the Son of Heaven.

"Before Qin Qing and Worm Niang got married, this good news was also congratulated by God! I hope God will bless my Tang Dynasty, quell the rebellion and settle the chaos, and the country will be peaceful from now on!"

As he spoke, Li Heng's expression gradually calmed down again, closed his eyes, and prayed to the heavens sincerely.

Qin Jin took the good news handed over by Li Heng, read it carefully up and down, and judging from the various figures stated on it, Fang Xuan did fight well outside Luoyang City, and it seemed that he had defeated a reinforcement army returning north from Huainan.

If this is the case, the military pressure in the direction of the two Huai will be greatly reduced, which is also absolutely good news for the imperial court to start the rent collection and requisition.

As long as this year passes, the treasury of the imperial court will gradually be filled, and by then it will be able to feed more troops, and the suppression of the rebellion will naturally be more secure!
