Chapter Seventy-Seven: Meet the Emperor
The emperor had been interested in Li Weifeng before, and after what happened in the Zhongshun Palace, he became even more interested in the eldest brother of the Li family. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he didn't believe that the Buddha would manifest for such a thing as Li Xuelan. Sure enough, the county lord of Moyan entered the palace with the withered leaf butterfly, and after saying the setting that the handwriting appeared out of thin air, the emperor smiled. How can such an interesting and capable person not be reused? The emperor even wanted to learn from the king of loyalty, and used marriage to win over the eldest brother of the Li family, but was strongly rejected by the county lord of Moyan. Tell the emperor that the eldest brother of the Li family has Bai Yueguang in his heart, and he is desperate for his fiancée, and he will never accept another woman. The Emperor had to give up on this idea in a sloppy manner.
The eldest brother of the Li family was summoned by the emperor alone, and followed the eunuch on the long sandwich road, the eldest brother of the Li family did not seem to squint, and the corner of his eye had already seen the scenes along the way. Compared with the Forbidden City, the imperial palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty is much smaller, and the magnificence is not as rich as the Forbidden City, but it is also graceful and atmospheric, and there is a heavy pressure on the pavement.
"General Li, the emperor is discussing with the Prime Minister, please sit in the side hall for a while." The eunuch said to the eldest brother of the Li family.
"Thank you." The eldest brother of the Li family smiled and thanked him, this is a subconscious behavior, modern society mentions "five stresses, four beauties and three loves" for primary school students, the eldest brother of the Li family is a good student, and this good habit is deeply ingrained in him. However, they were very moved by the eunuchs, and felt that the eldest brother of the Li family respected them and had a good impression of the eldest brother of the Li family. In the entire palace, in addition to the emperor, the eldest brother of the Li family ranked second in the minds of the eunuchs.
The emperor and the prime minister did not discuss for a long time, and after a while, they brought the eldest brother of the Li family to the main hall. The eldest brother of the Li family saw the emperor of this world for the first time. The emperor was not very old, but he had just stood up, but his appearance was several years older than his actual age, and there was a faint blue and black under the corners of his eyes, and he was a little tired. Emperor is a very attractive profession, but it is not so easy to do, especially an aspiring Ming Jun, who is physically and mentally exhausted and more tired than ordinary people. The most typical is Emperor Yongzheng, who died of overwork!
The emperor was also looking at the eldest brother of the Li family. The appearance of the eldest brother of the Li family is not as handsome as Yue Yunfei, and the overall appearance is not as elegant as Geng Shi'an, but his facial features are upright, and the masculine temperament of the soldiers cultivated in modern times has added a lot of points to him, so that the emperor nods secretly, such a talent is the real military general in his mind.
"Li Aiqing, sit." The emperor pointed to the Taishi chair below. Don't say anything like standing when you meet the emperor, the emperor is not so inhuman. There were quite a few older people among the ministers, and they all asked them to stand and discuss with the emperor, and after a short time, they also said, if a few hours come down, those people can stand it? Therefore, there is such a thing as a chair in the study.
The eldest brother of the Li family had no fear of the emperor, and sat generously on the Taishi chair, sitting very solidly, and he wanted to be upright, and no one else was trembling and only sat on half of his buttocks. The emperor raised his eyebrows, and he had a better impression of the eldest brother of the Li family. At least this person is honest -- the three views are different, and the misunderstanding arises in this way.
"Li Weifeng, Marshal Yang recommended you to me, you are a good fighter in battle." The Emperor said, "He thought that he would let you take over his class after he stepped down." ”
The eldest brother of the Li family was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect Marshal Yang to be so optimistic about him. He thought that Marshal Yang would let his son accept his position and connections in the army.
The emperor said again: "Uncle Qirui also told me about you, you taught everyone the first aid method for trauma in the army, which is very good, and the casualty rate of the soldiers has been reduced by sixty percent." ”
The eldest brother of the Li family silently did not reply and continued to listen to the emperor.
"You're very good, you're a talent, I'm optimistic." The Emperor said.
The eldest brother of the Li family hurriedly said: "Emperor Xie praised him." ”
The emperor smiled and said, "But what I appreciate most is your method of punishing Li Xuelan's family of three. The withered leaf butterfly is amazing, and it is difficult for you to recognize it. ”
The eldest brother of the Li family: "This is what someone else taught me." ”
"Someone else?" The Emperor asked, "Is it your master?" ”
Brother Li: "No. ”
"Oh~" the emperor smiled, "Is that your fiancée?" ”
The eldest brother of the Li family nodded: "It's her." ”
Emperor: "Why don't you bring her to the capital and let me see her?" ”
The eldest brother of the Li family's face darkened: "I haven't found her yet." ”
He didn't use the reason that "his fiancée is not in this world", he didn't want people to think that his girlfriend was dead, and the other party was alive and well.
"What? Are you separated? The Emperor asked.
The eldest brother of the Li family snorted.
The emperor sighed and comforted the eldest brother of the Li family: "Don't be sad, as long as you are alive, you will definitely be able to break the mirror and reunite." Do you want me to help you find your fiancée? ”
The eldest brother of the Li family hurriedly refused and thanked the emperor for his kindness.
The emperor didn't care, let go of this problem, and talked to the eldest brother of the Li family about some things in the military land and the court, and the more he talked about it, the more excited the emperor became, and he felt that he had picked up a treasure. The eldest brother of the Li family has not only a set of military affairs, but also has many novel insights in governing the country, which makes him refreshed. The emperor was a little entangled, whether it was better to follow Marshal Yang's proposal and let the eldest brother of the Li family take over the army and garrison the border, or keep him in the capital to become a civil official?
didn't dwell on it for long, the emperor made a decision to leave the eldest brother of the Li family in the capital, but he was not a civil official, but promoted to the envoy of the capital festival, in charge of the military power of the capital, and had the right to go to the court, and the emperor could call the eldest brother of the Li family into the palace at any time, and listen to the opinions of the eldest brother of the Li family on some difficult matters in the court.
The eldest brother of the Li family took advantage of this to request a vacation, saying that he would go home to worship his ancestors and take his younger brothers and sisters to the capital.
The emperor agreed, people haven't gone home for four or five years, they must be homesick, as a good emperor who is considerate of his subordinates, of course, he wants to think about what his subordinates think and what his subordinates are anxious about. The emperor gave the eldest brother of the Li family three months of vacation, and when he returned from his hometown, he immediately took office.
The emperor thought of Yue Yunfei and Geng Shi'an, who were with the eldest brother of the Li family, and knew that the two were also rare talents, and they were also promoted, Yue Yunfei was transferred to the Imperial Forest Army and became the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and Geng Shi'an entered the Tai Hospital and became the judge of the Left Hospital. In view of Geng Shi'an's hometown in a foreign country, the emperor also gave him three months to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors.
The eldest brother of the Li family separated from two friends on the outskirts of the capital and embarked on the journey back to his hometown with other young people from the same village. These young people have official positions on the battlefield by virtue of their merits, although they are very small, but they are also officials, they are all under the account of the eldest brother of the Li family by the emperor, and now the eldest brother of the Li family wants to return to his hometown, they follow, and both public and private affairs are correct.
"Brother Wei Feng, we can finally go home." The village chief's youngest son, Fugui, approached the eldest brother of the Li family and said excitedly.
Bishi stepped forward and patted Fugui's head: "Boy, now I'm going to call the general." ”
Fugui immediately changed his words: "Yes, yes, General Li." ”
The eldest brother of the Li family smiled: "Everyone is a brother, what is the name of the general, how was it called before, and how is it called now." ”
Bishi said: "We call you by your name in private, but we still have to call you general in front of outsiders." ”
Brother Li: "Okay then." ”
Indeed, even if the relationship is good, but the status is different, it is still necessary to pay attention to the outside world.
As he was talking, the sound of weapons colliding in the distance ahead, the eldest brother of the Li family and several fellow villagers glanced at each other, took out their respective weapons, and slapped their horses forward.
What happened ahead was simple, a group of bandits robbed the caravan, but the bandits of the robbers were not simple, they were the men of some traitorous king. The rebel king was destroyed by the emperor, and some of his men escaped and became bandits. The number of these robbers was nearly a hundred, but the eldest brother of the Li family and his fellow villagers were all extraordinary, one person could fight ten, plus the guards of the caravan itself, these robbers were quickly disabled, and their original identities were learned from them.
The caravan leader suddenly said: "No wonder I haven't met you all this way before." ”
The trade route is not safe, like the current big caravan, in addition to its own guards, it has also greeted some big bandit and bandit forces along the way, giving them so-called filial piety, and ensuring that these forces do not rob their caravans. As for those small forces, do they dare to grab a caravan guarded by guards?
After the caravan leader finished speaking, he thanked the eldest brother of the Li family and the others.
"The Jiang family's caravan?" The eldest brother of the Li family blinked in surprise, "Are you going back to Sanchuan Prefecture?" ”
The team leader asked in surprise: "Could it be that the general also goes to Sanchuan Prefecture?" ”
The eldest brother of the Li family nodded and said, "We are all from Jingyang Town, Sanchuan Prefecture, and we will return to our hometown to worship our ancestors this time." ”
The team leader was even happier when he heard this: "It turns out that the general and I are fellow villagers, and meeting is fate, so why not do it?" ”
The eldest brother of the Li family accepted this proposal without hesitation, he had his own considerations, and wanted to know more about the Jiang family's information and find out who the traverser was.
The team leader was sleek and considerate, and took care of the food and accommodation of the eldest brother of the Li family and his party all the way, which made the group have a very good impression of the Jiang family. The eldest brother of the Li family also knew a lot of things about the Jiang family from the team leader, although it was a popular thing, even the team leader didn't know about the secret things. The eldest brother of the Li family knew that novelties such as lighters, soaps, and soaps were all offered by Sun Beizhi, a subordinate of the Jiang family in Jingyang County. Jingyang County? Is his hometown, the traverser there, too? Could it have something to do with his crossing?

After the Chinese Valentine's Day is the Midyear Festival. The so-called "reunion of people on August 15, reunion of ghosts on July 15", the ancients attached great importance to this day, and this day is also known as the Yu Lan Festival in Buddhism. When they got up in the morning, the Li family sisters and brothers prepared sacrifices and went to the graves of their parents to worship, and the villagers also went out at this time to worship in front of the graves of their relatives. When the sacrifice was played with relatives, the villagers who were stained with dew went to the ancestral hall again, waiting for the village chief and the clan elders to open the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors. This time is not like the last time to pay tribute to the ancestors, the sacrifices are not so rich, pigs, cattle and sheep have been replaced by chickens, ducks and geese, and the rest of the tributes are also less than half, but the attitude of everyone is equally pious. (To be continued.) )
