"This is the Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty? How many people can live in such a majestic city? ”

Ye Ali was dressed in a bearded uniform, and Le Ma suddenly stood in the middle of the team, raised his eyes to look at the huge city rising in the flat ground in the distance, and couldn't help but let out such an exclamation in his mouth.

This is already a month after they entered the Tang Dynasty, and most of the servants and horses they carried into the Tang Dynasty were left in Yazhou, and only a few hundred followers set off from Shuzhong under the leadership of the Han King of the Tang Kingdom, crossed the Qinling Mountains and entered the Guanzhong.

Along the way, the scenery is prosperous, and what you see and hear is very different from the Tibetan scenery. Ye Ali was amazed along the way, and his intuitive feeling of the prosperity and wealth of the Tang Dynasty diluted the panic of entering a foreign country for the first time.

Originally, when she passed by Chengdu City in Yizhou, Shuzhong, she was so surprised by the bustling and lively city that she couldn't speak, and it took a long time to ease up.

I thought that the prosperity of Chengdu City was already the top level of the Tang Dynasty, and then when she traveled through the Qinling Mountains of Bashan, it seemed to confirm her conjecture, the Shu Road is difficult, and some places are not inferior to the ditches and mountains of Tubo, and there are often no people for dozens of miles.

But when the team entered the territory of Guanzhong, Ye Ali realized that her previous thoughts really had a taste of sitting in a well and watching the sky.

And when she really came to the outside of Chang'an City and saw the most majestic city in the world with her own eyes, the shock in her heart overflowed her chest and abdomen, and even her brain was shocked to a blank.

"No wonder Da Tan Qinling is so persistent and fascinated by the fashion of the Tang Kingdom, he has seen the world and this realm, how much temptation can the desolation in the country give people?"

Originally, Ye Ali still couldn't understand why Da Yan Qinling gave up the opportunity she had created, and only focused on the operation of Tuyuhun in the outer realm. It wasn't until he saw the wealth and majesty of the Tang Guanzhong that he was able to appreciate the unyielding persistence under the strong appearance of the Great Discussion of Qinling.

The royal city of Tibet, Luosa City, is indeed the most prosperous place on the plateau, and countless people of the kingdom living here have a sense of superiority when they look at the foreigners.

However, for Qinling, who has entered Chang'an and seen the first-rate prosperity in this world, the so-called prosperity of Luosa City is really not worth mentioning. Since he is determined to strive for it, he will naturally advance to the world's first-class prosperity, and will not compromise his ambition for the sake of waiting for the next goal.

At present, the team has not really arrived outside Chang'an City, and it is getting late, so they need to stay in the pavilion on the western outskirts of Chang'an City. Before entering the camp, there was already a cavalry from Chang'an City to strengthen the guard and arrange the post.

Soon after entering the pavilion, Guo Yuanzhen hurriedly came and said with a slight apology: "Yuanzhen is going to rush into the city to meet His Royal Highness King Yong, and I have no time to ask questions from my entourage this night, and I ask the princess for forgiveness." Invite the princess to live in the pavilion temporarily, and then have her own envoy to arrange for the princess to enter the city to see the king. The pavilion is cramped, and it is difficult to accommodate nobles to live, and the king of Han walks with me. If Her Royal Highness the princess needs to live in her daily life, you can ask the official of the pavilion for it. ”

After hearing this, Ye Ali nodded and smiled: "I am already grateful to have the general escort all the way and lead me into the country." The general and go by himself, I think I am here to be guided. ”

Speaking of this, she said with no lack of worry: "His Royal Highness the King of Han, he is the brother of King Yong?" Seeing that he is quite indifferent to my entry into the country, I wonder if it will affect His Royal Highness Yongwang's treatment of me? ”

King Han's attitude is not only cold, but simply turning a blind eye. Since welcoming the group at the archery furnace in the west of Yazhou, the King of Han of the Tang Kingdom has never come to see Ye Ali, and even if there is any itinerary, he has ordered the servants to inform him.

Through the attitude of the Han King of Tang Kingdom, Ye Ali also realized that the real upper-class people of Tang Kingdom really did not treat her, the so-called princess of Tubo, very well.

At the beginning, she and her entourage complained that the nobles of the Tang Kingdom were too arrogant, but along the way, seeing what kind of national power the Tang family enjoyed, they gradually felt that this arrogance was indeed taken for granted, because each other was fundamentally people from two worlds.

After Guo Yuanzhen heard this, he smiled and comforted: "Princess, please rest assured, the reason why the King of Han is displeased is mainly because of the peace plan of the princess framed by the Fan Kingdom, not against the princess." As for His Royal Highness King Yong, he will lead the stage, divide Shaanxi into governance, and be tolerant, the princess will not hesitate to invest in her body and from afar, and she will be polite and solemnly summoned no matter what. Seeing and responding, it is all up to the princess to deal with it, and the follow-up is no longer Yuan Zhen's ability to make a judgment. ”

After finishing speaking, it was not early, and Guo Yuanzhen did not stay for a long time, said goodbye and left, and went to Chang'an City with the King of Han.

At this time, in Chang'an City, Li Tong finished the affairs that needed to be dealt with as soon as possible in the morning, and the unimportant things were postponed to tomorrow, and he returned to the mansion early to set up a banquet to prepare to receive his eldest brother Li Guangshun, who had been absent for a long time.

"Your Highness, King Han has entered the city!"

Sitting in the court for a while, when it was dark, Yang Siqiao, who was waiting for the news outside, hurriedly entered the mansion to make a report, Li Tong was even more overjoyed after hearing the words, got up, walked out of the mansion, and went straight to the door to wait for his brother to arrive.

Nearly half an hour later, the sky was completely dark, the sound of horses' hooves on the long street was getting closer, and Li Guangshun rode his horse out of the night that could not be covered by the firelight, and appeared in Li Tong's field of vision.

"Brother, I've been waiting for you for a long time, don't come unharmed, right?"

Li Tongkuo walked forward, raised his hand to hold his brother's mount bridle dreadlock, Li Guangshun turned over and dismounted first, and there was no lack of excitement to step forward and hold the young brother's arms: "Three, be cautious, my brother is alone in Shu, I miss my family every day, and now I finally see that my brother is more heroic than in the past!" ”

In the old year, Li Guangshun went to Yizhou from Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and the brothers said goodbye for a long time, so far they saw each other, and they were naturally excited, and they had too many words to talk to each other. But in the past two years, so much has happened that I don't know where to start for a while. The brothers stood arm in the street, although they were speechless, each other's eyes were full of joy of reunion.

"Go, go home with me, and wash away the dust of my brother's journey!"

Li Tong pulled Li Guang to walk to the middle of the square by the way, and when he turned his eyes, he noticed Guo Yuanzhen, who was standing among the entourages of the Han King and had a seemingly honest smile on his face, and couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You don't need to be naïve, you will be left at the banquet tonight!" ”

Guo Yuanzhen was not without surprise when he heard this, he thanked him with his hands and bowed his head to the second king, and he was not in a hurry to announce the trip and disturb His Royal Highness's long-lost family relationship.

The Chinese banquet in the palace has already been well prepared, Li Tong first led his brother into the inner hall to bathe and change clothes, and took the female relatives of the palace to greet the uncle, and then the two brothers returned to the middle hall to participate in the banquet.

Because it was a family banquet for his brother to wash the dust, he didn't invite too many officials to the stage, only some close people such as Xue Chongxun, his sister-in-law who arrived in Chang'an a month ago, and even Wu Youyi, a guy who still needs to call his cousin.

Only Guo Yuanzhen is an outlier, and he happened to catch up. This guy is also a self-acquaintance, and he doesn't feel embarrassed by this, before the Yongwang brothers entered the table, they had already talked with Wu Youyi and sat down, and there was no lack of eyebrows and dancing, probably exchanging experience in looting local tyrants.

A family banquet does not involve official business, or talks about the wind and snow, or describes the shortcomings of the family. Among them, Xue Chongxun naturally received key attention, mainly to accept Li Guangshun's key interrogation.

The little sister got married, Li Guangshun was far away in Shuzhong, although he specially ordered someone to send a rich makeup to the distance, but he did not attend, and there was no lack of guilt in thinking about it.

Xue Chongxun is only a teenager now, but maybe because of marriage or because of experience, he also has a somewhat calm appearance, and replied respectfully to Li Guangshun's interrogation, and said heroically: "How do I treat my wife, cousin doesn't know?" When I was young, I served like a treasure, and now I am in a room, and I should obey all the instructions of the lady. Even this time I came to the west, it was my wife who decided for me. If you can find fault with me, then I will admit punishment! ”

Hearing this licking dog's statement, Li Tong couldn't help but laugh and said: "The family has a beautiful wife, and the husband will not suffer misfortune." You don't have to feel that the young lady is untamable, and when you get to Chang'an, you will do things on the stage, and you won't be insulted by your little talent. ”

Although it is just a family talk and laughter, some conflicts and disputes within the situation are also hidden. Regarding some of his aunt's behaviors in Shendu, Li Tong is not dissatisfied, but he is not very optimistic.

Xue Chongxun is his sister-in-law, and Li Tong doesn't want him to interfere too deeply in his mother's affairs, but after all, it is still a deep mother-son relationship, and some meanings are allegorical, it still depends on this kid's own understanding.

Li Guangshun had a tiring journey, and the family banquet did not last too long, and ended in less than an hour. Li Tong specially arranged for Guo Yuanzhen to stay in the mansion and wait for him to ask questions tomorrow morning.

After the banquet was dismissed, Li Tong personally sent his brother to the accommodation, and then sighed and said: "My second brother and I are both married, but you are alone in the house, brother, and you have no time to choose a good concubine." This time, Niangniang also sent me a letter, telling me to help Brother you start a family and establish a family, and spread the letter. There are no outsiders at the moment, what is my brother's mind, you might as well tell me in detail. ”

When Li Guangshun heard this, a trace of shame flashed on his face, and after a while, he sighed: "San Lang, don't be embarrassed for me, I have neither talent nor reputation, I really don't have such thoughts." Husband and wife in the world are just snobbish.

I have been born so far, I have achieved nothing, and I have to rely on the protection of my brothers to survive, even if I have a famous family to kiss me, all I am greedy for is here. It is not easy for my brother to start a business, and I already feel ashamed to share it myself, how can I still be greedy for fame and lead others to share the burden. ”

Li Tong knew that his eldest brother was introverted and less enthusiastic, but he didn't expect Li Guangshun to have such a pessimistic attitude towards human affairs.

"How can Brother think like this? Brothers help each other together, which is reasonable. Not to mention that I ......"

"San Lang, you don't have to say it anymore, I have a brother and a family care, and I don't have any more demands, and I don't want to invite strangers to disturb my tranquility."

Li Guangshun paused when he said this, and then said after a while: "San Lang, you have a heart, can you express a little to Niangniang on my behalf, Zhu Niang will accompany me when she is cheap, and she will not violate when she is expensive, I want to give her a place to place." Originally, she kept her feelings and didn't have to care about her status, but now that she has a pregnancy letter, I hope the child can be disgraced in front of others. ”

After Li Tong heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Brother Cheng is the most affectionate person, I should do this matter!" But for my brother's love, I am not afraid of other people's gossip. Besides, my second brother and I were mostly Yangzhu in the old years...... My sister-in-law manages the kitchen and feeds each other, and is loyal and righteous, how can my family be mean to each other. ”
