Chapter 61: Gao Qiang and Taiping
Xiaoqing's departure made Li Jun lose for several days, until Gao Zhe and the others returned to the court......
Gao Qiang is a person who has a good personality, and he does not have the frame of a major general, and his popularity in the army is very good, especially in this boring march, Gao Qiang's superb horse skills have helped everyone find a lot of fun.
As soon as Gao Qiang finished performing a "Horse Stepping on Feiyan", Qiu Laosan came over and said obscenely: "The young general is in a good mood today?" This kind of stunt is rare, isn't it? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, look at your sloppy appearance, entering Chang'an City is also a shame for my Liaodong Army." Gao Qiang scolded with a smile.
Qiu Laosan looked Gao Qiang up and down and said with a smile: "Young General, you must have a situation today, I haven't seen you clean up so carefully, tell me honestly, are you about to see your sweetheart?" ”
"Dry." Gao Qiang scolded Qiu Laosan and left, shouting as he walked: "Brothers, we are about to enter Chang'an, everyone cheers up, shows the heroism of our Liaodong Army, and we must not let the people of Chang'an see our jokes." ”
"Don't worry, young general, we will never embarrass the fathers and villagers in Liaodong." The crowd immediately responded.
In fact, the reason why Gao Qiang is in such a good mood today is because he will be able to see his sister and mother in the capital soon, Gao Zhe is a general in the army, and according to the convention, his family must stay in Beijing.
Gao Zhe is a very square person, so he only has an old wife and a pair of children, and on this point, those Confucian scholars who criticize Gao Zhe can't catch up.
Gao Zhe is also older now, so he has been sitting in the carriage all the way, and when he heard his son shouting outside, Gao Zhe said to the soldiers who were driving the car unhappily: "Go and call the young general." ”
"No." The pro-soldier did not dare to slack off, and immediately agreed.
Soon Gao Qiang got into the carriage, seeing his son dressed up so neatly, Gao Zhe was obviously very uncomfortable, Gao Qiang said embarrassedly: "Dad, I am going to see my mother and sister today, my son is happy, so I cleaned up." ”
Gao Zhe's face softened a lot when he heard this, looking at his son's young face, Gao Zhe asked with a smile: "Qiang'er, you have also reached the age when you should marry, and you don't need to go back to Liaodong when you return to Beijing this time, do you have any sweetheart?" For the Father, I want to take advantage of this time when there is no war to set the events of your life. ”
"Dad, the child doesn't want to marry yet, why does the husband have no wife?"
"Hmph, bullshit, I had you when I was as old as you, my old Gao family is a single line, you can't mess around." Gao Zhe snorted coldly.
Seeing that his father was a little angry, Gao Qiang immediately coaxed, and said with a smile: "Dad, you are angry, your son has grown up with you in the military camp since he was a child, where is there any sweetheart, and your son's marriage is naturally up to you and your mother." ”
Gao Zhe touched his beard and said with a smile: "Don't say it, there is really a suitable marriage here for my father." ”
"Ah, which lady is it? Isn't it pretty? ”
"Look at your appearance, this girl's father and brother are the most noble people in the world, and the girl herself is also well-read, and she is as beautiful as a fairy, are you satisfied?" Gao Zhe scolded with a smile.
Gao Qiang shook his head and said, "Father, it's impossible, how can there be such a perfect person in the world?" ”
"My father didn't lie to you, this person is Princess Taiping."
"What? Dad, you let me marry the princess? ”
Gao Zhe sighed and said, "Otherwise, do you think this Wanhu Hou is so easy to do?" Your Majesty's trust in the old man does not mean that no one is jealous of my Gao family, and this Lu Ru incident is proof of this. ”
Gao Qiang looked at the old father's white hair and nodded very seriously: "Father, don't worry, my son will not be willful." ”
Gao Zhe said with a smile: "Stinky boy, don't be dissatisfied, with Your Majesty here, the princess's conduct will not be very bad, besides, your father and I have seen the princess with my own eyes, and it is not an exaggeration to be as beautiful as a fairy." ”
"Got it, Dad, this carriage is stuffy, and my son will go down for a walk!"
"Go ahead, stinky boy."
In the afternoon of the same day, Gao Zhe and others came to Chang'an City, Li Jun specially arranged for the people of Chang'an to welcome them, and the people of Chang'an have seen the world, so many scoundrels are not interested in the so-called welcome of the elite soldiers of a hundred battles, and even some of them are bold, they are ready to saliva, ready to spit on the Liaodong Army.
When the Liaodong Army really entered the city, the whole street became silent, and the swords and axes of the armor on the Liaodong Army and the stumps and broken arms on the Liaodong soldiers all proved that this was a hundred battles of heroes who crawled out of the sea of swords and fires.
People have always been sympathetic to heroes, especially for this group of emotional people in Guanzhong, their sympathy is even more bursting, I don't know who got up, and suddenly a cheer resounded throughout Chang'an City.
It was the first time for many veterans in Liaodong to experience this kind of scene, and many people burst into tears, and even Qiu Laosan, who usually paid the least attention to image, straightened his waist, tidied up his beard, and raised his ugly face to laugh at the big daughters-in-law and little girls on both sides of the street.
Gao Zhe and others rode to the front of Xuanwu Gate, the whole welcome ceremony reached the peak, Li Jun personally went out to greet him, and three thousand soldiers of Liaodong Army, Yu Linwei and Long Xiaowei went straight to the north of the palace to drink and feast.
Xiao Wangzhi saw Li Jun, Gao Zhe and others coming from a distance, and sighed to Zhang An next to him: "This is a state banquet!" ”
Zhang An frowned and said: "Wufu is the country, and it will be bad for the country to continue like this in the long run!" ”
"Be cautious, Lord Zhang, those who fight for the country deserve this kind of honor, and don't you also have a dragon gate banquet during the imperial examination? Your Majesty's Heavenly Resources, among which Your Majesty Guan Jian will not be confused. ”
"What the Prime Minister said is very true, and we should remember it." Everyone hurriedly said.
Xiao Wangzhi waved his hand and said, "Colleagues, let's go, we should also go and greet you." ”
"No."
Xiao Wangzhi and others greeted him, and Jiuqing led hundreds of people to sit in the designated positions according to the previous instructions, while Li Jun led the generals to sit on the high platform accompanied by Prime Minister Xiao Wangzhi and Dou Guan, chief of staff of the army.
Everyone sat down, Li Jun clapped his hands, a heart-stirring flute sound rose softly, the long sleeves of the ladies danced, countless delicate petals gently flew between the heaven and the earth, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers was intoxicating.
Where have a group of old Qiu Ba and old bachelors in the army seen this kind of scene, and suddenly they all flowed to the ground, and the most embarrassing thing is that Qiu Laosan, a pervert, has already begun to bleed......
Beautiful people and fine wine, Li Jun raised his wine glass and roared: "Zhuqing wins." ”
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." Three thousand soldiers knelt on one knee and shouted.
Li Jun laughed and said, "It's done." With that, he drank all the wine in his cup.
Because he drank too much, Li Jun was spilled with wine, Li Jun touched his mouth indifferently and said, "Happy, happy, full, I haven't been so happy for a long time." ”
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks you should take it easy, in the future, the combat effectiveness of our Tang army will become stronger and stronger, and there will be more and more victories, can't you drink like this every day?" Gao Zhe stood up and joked with a smile.
After hearing this, everyone coaxed: "That's it, Your Majesty, there will be too many victories in the future, and this celebration wine will not be interesting to drink." ”
Li Jun scolded with a smile: "You bastards, you don't want to drink, but I do, if my Tang army wins battles every day, then what's the harm if I soak in the wine vat every day." ”
"Your Majesty is mighty." The crowd immediately applauded.
At this time, an untimely voice came: "Your Majesty, the body is the most important, please take care of the dragon body." ”
Li Jun fixed his eyes and saw that it was Hua Shan who was mixed in the team who spoke, Li Jun glared at Hua Shan angrily and snorted coldly: "Hmph, you are disappointed, Concubine Zhao in the harem is unwell, you go to the doctor, don't bother me anymore." ”
After speaking, he gave He Shen a look, and He Shen smiled and left with two attendants carrying Huashan.
After this little episode, everyone was in high spirits, and Li Jun asked Gao Zhe: "Old general, who is guarding Yuyang now?" No problem. ”
Gao Zhe replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured, Yuyang is guarded by General Pei Du, General Pei Du has been following Lao Chen for almost ten years, and he has also learned eight points of Lao Chen's skills, plus the terrain of Yuyang Pass is dangerous, and the people of Beijin cannot be attacked." ”
Li Jun nodded and said: "Old general, you are old, don't go back to Liaodong this time, stay in Beijing, I still have a lot of things to escort the old general." ”
"Thank you for your kindness, the old minister obeyed the order." This time, Gao Zhe also thought that he couldn't go back, so he made arrangements in advance, Liaodong is the place where he has worked hard all his life, and if he is not properly settled, Gao Zhe is uneasy.
At this moment, Li Moyue broke in with two palace maids, and Li Jun said unhappily: "Moyue, don't mess around, today is a state banquet, what are you doing here?" ”
Li Moyue went straight to Li Jun, hugged Li Jun's arm and said coquettishly: "Brother Huang, since you sent Xiaoqing away, the palace is really boring, this time you can do it, let me come out to breathe." ”
Seeing what Li Moyue said pitifully, Li Jun smiled bitterly: "Okay, it's only this once, don't take it as an example, by the way, Moyue, hurry up and see all the generals, these people are all heroes of my Tang Dynasty." ”
"Moyue has seen the generals." Li Moyue said obediently.
"The ministers have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." The generals also saluted immediately.
At this time, Li Jun looked at Li Moyue, who already had a hint of femininity, and suddenly had an idea in his heart and asked, "Moyue, which of these people do you think is most like the general you imagined?"
Li Moyue's gaze directly skipped over Xue Ren, Wei Chaodong and the others, and without thinking, she pointed to Gao Qiang, who was about to hide in the corner, and said, "Brother Huang, he is." ”
"Why?" Li Jun couldn't help but ask.
Li Moyue said a little shyly: "Because his eyes are very similar to Xiaoqing's, they are very clean, I like such eyes." ”
"Haha, I know, Mo Yue really has a good eye, this person is the biggest hero of this Yuyang victory, Gao Qiang." Li Jun said with a laugh.
Gao Qiang stood up with a flushed face and said, "The last general will see Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
At this time, Gao Zhe suddenly stood up and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you can come to Lao Chen's house as a guest when you have time in the future, Lao Chen's daughter is the same size as you." ”
Li Moyue was overjoyed when she heard this, and couldn't help but set her eyes on Li Jun, Li Jun looked at Li Moyue's expectant eyes, couldn't bear to refuse, and nodded with a smile......
