There is Ziwei Palace in the sky, which is the residence of God, and the king sets up the palace, and does it like it.

After resting for one night, Li Ze wore a martial crown on his head and a purple robe, and he was usually used to carrying the cloud knife and sea knife around him instead of a gold ornament sword, with a goldfish talisman tied around his waist, and appeared outside Luoyang Palace City and Ziwei City.

Ziwei City was the most brilliant and magnificent palace complex in the world at that time, and the architectural form was shocking, which influenced the palace construction of East Asian countries. Mingtang and Heaven are unique and have become a wonder of the world. Ziwei City covers an area of about 4.2 square kilometers, which is six times the size of the Forbidden City in Beijing during the Ming and Qing dynasties. And its architectural concept will also be inherited by the Forbidden City in Beijing in later generations. At that time, Ziwei City was definitely the most magnificent, the most spectacular, and the most luxurious palace city that reflected the highest level of architectural craftsmanship in the world at that time.

As a political center with a status similar to Chang'an, the Eastern Capital has the Tang Dynasty, and countless major events that have affected the world have all started here.

Now, Li Ze is standing in front of this palace. Staring at Miyagi in front of him, he was filled with emotion in his heart. In China's history, many such spectacular scenes were destroyed in the flames of war. The Ziwei City in front of him suffered major damage in the riot that swept the country more than ten years ago, and although it has been repaired, it is difficult to return to the scene of the past after all.

To imagine that these civilizations will perpetuate and become eternal symbols of history, rather than be destroyed again and again in the vicissitudes of history, it is necessary to have a strong central power under their wings.

Today, it was he who officially visited the blessed king Li Xin, although Li Ze had been staying with Li Xin a few days ago, but the two sides did not formally discuss anything. Don't look at the bloated body of King Fu Li Xin, but he is indeed a figure who has a great influence on the emperor, as an imperial family, but he can hold heavy power and guard the eastern capital, which itself shows that the emperor attaches great importance and trusts his people.

And according to Gongsun Changming's introduction, this Fu King Li Xin is indeed a shrewd and capable figure.

Gaining Li Xin's trust is a very important thing for Li Ze.

King Fu's Eastern Capital Defense Embassy is located in the left city of Ziwei Palace, and the palace city is only separated by an east city. Today, the city is obviously different from the past. Everywhere the eye was struck, the flags were unfurled, the armor was distinct, and the tall soldiers in golden armor and spears and halberds stood solemnly. This made Li Mi, who came with Li Ze, and Chen Changping both involuntarily tense their nerves and became a little nervous.

"Jieshuai, what kind of fame is King Fu doing, isn't it a Hongmen banquet?" Chen Changping asked in a low voice, only regretting in his heart that he didn't bring his big bow.

Li Ze smiled, and before he could speak, Gongsun Changming beside him had already laughed: "Chen Changping, it's not simple, I actually know about the Hongmen Banquet, it seems that I have read a lot of books for more than a year!" ”

Chen Changping looked at the faces of the two, and already knew that he must be in trouble, and immediately smiled curtly: "Jie Shuai said that as a general, you should read more, especially history books and military books, so that you can stand alone in the future." Although Changping came from a humble background and did not know much about literacy, he is now studying hard. ”

Gongsun Changming nodded, "That's it." King Fu didn't want to make a name for himself, these gold-armored warriors were just honor guards, didn't you see that their spears and halberds were wrapped with red cloth, which was to show respect for the marshal. Today, the marshal is officially visiting, and he naturally has to take out his prince's full set of honor guards, otherwise, it will be disrespectful to our marshal. ”

"And so much more?" Chen Changping said.

"What is this? Haven't you seen the real exquisiteness? Follow Childe's side, and you'll see more later. Gongsun Changming said lightly.

Chen Changping used to be at most a ranger, of course, ranger is just a nice name, in the official they also have an official title, called the ruffian, in troubled times, these people roar and profess chivalry, but in the world of Shengping, people like them are the target of key attacks, and from time to time they will be arrested by the official and sent to the border areas as coolies, or death squads to expand the territory.

Such a person naturally has no higher knowledge. That is, after Chen Changping followed Li Ze, as Li Ze's status rose steadily, he finally began to get in touch with those levels that he couldn't think of before.

An official with a tall and thin figure, wearing a five-grade official uniform and wearing a silverfish talisman, stood solemnly outside the gate of the defense envoy, and when he saw Li Ze and his party approaching, he immediately hurried up to greet him, and clasped his fists with both hands as a salute: "Niu Furen, the defense envoy of the Eastern Capital, has seen the festival marshal, and has seen Mr. Gongsun." ”

Li Ze bowed slightly and returned the salute.

"Li Shuai, His Royal Highness is already waiting in the lobby, please!" Niu Furen looked at the young marshal in front of him, although his eyes were different, but his words and deeds did not show the slightest rudeness.

"I'm tired of Zhu joining the army to lead the way!" Li Zedao. Under the defense envoy, there are two deputies of Changshi and Chronicle to join the army, and this person is the third most powerful person in the Eastern Capital.

Fuwang Li Xin stood at the door of the lobby, and when he saw Li Ze coming in, his face was immediately full of smiles, and he stepped over the high threshold and greeted him.

"Henghai Jiedu envoy, General Qianniuwei, I have seen His Highness." Li Ze slammed to the ground.

Li Xin laughed: "Why should Li Shuai be polite? Come in. He took Li Ze's hand in one hand, pulled him side by side and walked inside. This made Li Ze a little helpless, it seemed that His Royal Highness King Fu expressed affection in this way, like holding each other's hands, in the past few days, he had been held tightly by Li Xin countless times. was held by a pair of fat, soft fat hands, and it was a pair of men's hands, which made Li Ze very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, after entering the lobby, Li Xin let go of his hand. Invite Li Ze and Gongsun Changming to sit down.

On the wall facing the gate, a five-clawed green dragon soaring clouds in the middle hall shows the identity of the owner, reminding everyone who comes here that the owner of this hall is a prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xin did not sit behind the main case between the middle halls, but sat opposite Li Ze left and right, which made Li Ze feel a lot more comfortable. As the defense envoy of the Eastern Capital, Li Xin is still His Royal Highness the Prince, whether it is the importance of his official position or his own identity, he is naturally higher than Li Ze, but Li Xin now puts himself in the same position as Li Ze, so there is some meaning in it.

Li Xin clapped his hands, and several female officials rushed in from the back hall to serve tea to everyone in the lobby. Female officials are not qualified for ordinary people. Looking at their posture and pace, it is obvious that they have been trained for a long time since childhood. This was the first time Li Ze saw the real female officials of the Tang Dynasty, and his eyes couldn't help but stay on them for a moment.

"I knew that the festival commander liked to boil water to make tea, but for a while, he couldn't find the tea that the festival commander liked, so he could only simplify because of the ugliness, and the people below also knew how to make it look and smell good, don't blame the festival handsome!" Li Xin said with a smile.

Li Ze said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness is polite, I don't like red tape, I like to do things more neatly, I just feel that boiling tea is too much to delay a good time, a pinch of tea, a bubble of boiling water, you can experience the bitter and sweet taste." Because of this incident, he was often reprimanded by his mother as insulting. ”

Li Xin laughed: "The festival marshal said well, it is best to do things cleanly and neatly, my generation of martial artists, I should be like this." ”

Li Ze smiled and said: "Your Highness, this time I came to the Eastern Capital, and I also brought my homemade green tea, black tea and other gifts to Your Highness, and a booklet on how to brew it. ”

"Jieshuai actually makes homemade tea?" Li Xin's face changed slightly.

"Occasionally!" Li Ze smiled and picked up the tea cup beside him and took a sip. "Watching those green leaves slowly take shape in their hands and eventually become the best tea, this pleasure is not enough for outsiders."

Li Xin nodded slightly, for Li Ze, the imperial court naturally knew a lot through various channels, and had a general understanding of this person's experience and personality. This person is completely different from the second generation of ordinary festival towns, both in terms of experience and in the way of doing things.

A person who grows up under a lot of pressure is naturally different from a person who grows up in a worry-free environment. But it is precisely because of this that Li Ze in front of him has been achieved.

"It's handsome and cool, and I don't talk much nonsense." After a few sips of tea, Li Xin went straight in: "What does the section chief think of Zhang Zhongwu?" ”

"This person deserves to be called a hero for a while." Li Ze's words were concise and to the point. "For more than ten years, Lu Long has been managed into an iron plate, and the officers and soldiers under his command have used their lives and have extremely strong combat power."

"How's that handsome?"

"Now I'm not his opponent!" Li Ze shook his head and said: "It's a shame that Hedong Gao Yu and Gao Shuai have contained Zhang Zhongwu's main force, and because Zhang Zhongwu doesn't regard me as his main opponent." ”

"But the commander will go down to Yingzhou in a fight!"

"Intrigue and intrigue are not worth mentioning!" Li Zedao: "Yingzhou is just Zhang Zhongwu's teacher. ”

"Gao Shuai lost Daizhou, and the war has been passive, dare to ask Jie Shuai, how can he contain and eliminate Zhang Zhongwu? Quelling a rebellion? Li Xin asked.

"That's why I came to Chang'an this time." Li Zedao: "As long as the imperial court allows me to join the town and integrate Henghai, Chengde, and Zhenwu into one, even if I can't quickly defeat Zhang Zhongwu, I can also stop Zhang Zhongwu's ambition to go south." Give me three or five years, and then return the court to a peaceful north. ”

Li Xin pondered for a moment: "Zhang Zhongwu has ruled Lulong for more than ten years, and he has become a self-contained, Jieshuai, please forgive me, if the three towns are one, the strength of Jieshuai is better than that of Zhang Zhongwu in the past, and the worries of the imperial court, Jieshuai may understand?" ”

Li Ze smiled: "I naturally understand, but I can't defend myself, so Your Majesty asked me to send my mother, fiancée and others to Chang'an, and I sent them over, hoping that this can reassure the imperial court." ”
