Chapter 50: The First Arrival
Shan Zhuokun glanced at Yu Chigong and Li Yuanchang, and when he saw that both of them had strange looks, he already knew that this Lord Lin must be an extremely unusual person.
"General Wei Chi, who is this Lord Lin? Why did the Duke of Eguo and the King of Han become like this as soon as they heard his name? ”
After retracting his gaze, Shan Zhuokun lowered his voice and said to Yu Chi Baolin beside him.
"This Lord Lin is the head of the household department of this dynasty, he is extremely honest as an official, and he has done many good things for the people." Yu Chi Baolin said hesitantly, "It's just that I don't know why this man in black said this." ”
Shan Zhuokun's heart didn't move, could it be that this Lord Lin is also like some people in modern society, one thing in front of him and one thing behind his back. I remember reading it in a book before, saying that the officialdom in the early Tang Dynasty was very good, and the monarchs were benevolent and virtuous. Now, it seems that it is far from that case.
"Lord Lin is a rare Qing official in my dynasty, don't wait for you to talk about it again." Wei Chi froze his mind, deliberately stiffened his face and scolded, "In this way, you wait for this time to enter the capital with your father, and then make your words clear, don't hide anything." ”
The three men in black glanced at each other, although Wei Chigong looked extremely serious on the surface, but in fact, he had already given them a chance to survive.
"Thank you, sir." The three men in black thanked in unison.
Wei Chigong turned to look at Shan Zhuokun and said with a smile: "If there was no help from the immortals today, things would definitely not go so smoothly. If it's not early today, why don't we hurry up and eat and strive to arrive in Chang'an today? ”
"Okay." Shan Zhuokun nodded.
Under Wei Chigong's orders, the soldiers quickly prepared breakfast. After finishing the meal, the three black-clothed men, escorted by the soldiers, followed the army in the direction of Chang'an.
Zisai came back and the snow was clear, and Wang Shi supported the company camp with millions of people.
The horses neighed and the mountains and rivers were strong, and the flags were long in the sky and the sun and the moon were bright.
The Dragon and Tiger Terrace is high and towering, and the Phoenix Emperor City is nearly five clouds.
The holy face has a happy heart, and Chinese and foreign countries play triumphant songs.
Chang'an Daxing Gate, the flag is fierce, and the horn sounds. Dressed in bright yellow dragon robes and wearing a daliu crown, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, accompanied by dozens of civil and military ministers and hundreds of accompanying soldiers, ascended to the city gate and waited to welcome the soldiers of the army who returned triumphantly.
Inside the city gate, the people of Chang'an stood on both sides at the same time, looking forward to it, waiting to witness the heroic demeanor that had just returned from the victory on the battlefield.
"Your Majesty, the army is only more than eight miles away from Daxingmen at the moment, and it will be there immediately."
Suddenly, a tall white horse came to the dust, and in an instant it was under the city gate. Immediately, the soldier fell lightly, fell to the ground on one knee, saluted with his fists, and replied respectfully.
"Okay, you can step down." Li Shimin bowed his head slightly and commanded.
The soldier said yes respectfully, and led his horse aside.
Sure enough, about half an hour later, I saw a large army coming from far and near, and soon reached the gate of the city.
"Come with me to meet you."
Hearing the order, the civil and military officials immediately made the gesture of the stars holding the moon and followed the emperor to the city gate.
Seeing this, Wei Chigong and the others hurriedly jumped off the horse, knelt down on one knee, and said long live.
"You Aiqing have worked very hard all the way, and I specially led all the civil and military officers to come out to greet them."
Li Shimin's gaze swept over the faces of Wei Chigong and the others one by one, and as he spoke, he smiled and stretched out his hand to help them up one by one.
"Thank you for the emperor's kindness, and the ministers are grateful." Wei Chigong said gratefully.
Li Shimin nodded to him with a smile, and inadvertently turned his head sideways, and his gaze happened to touch Shan Zhuokun, who was standing aside and watching him quietly.
"Eguo Gong, who is this ......?"
Wei Chigong listened to the emperor's inquiry, and hurriedly introduced with a smile: "This is the master that the minister said to the emperor in the letter before, if it wasn't for his help this time, the Hun army would not have been conquered so easily." ”
"Oh?" Li Shimin looked at Shan Zhuokun with interest, "I thought he must be an old man, but I didn't expect him to be so young. Well, my Datang is really full of talents. It's just that I don't know who this immortal master is? Where is the Immortal Mansion? ”
Shan Zhuokun was secretly thinking in his heart, he couldn't imagine that this Tang Taizong was so young and handsome, like a star on TV. In the past, I often saw the relevant portraits in various books, but now it seems that none of them are like them. And not only is it not like it, it is completely ugly at all.
"Shangxian, the emperor is talking to you." Seeing that he didn't pay attention to him, Yu Chi Baolin was busy reminding him in a whisper.
"Huh? Well said, well said. Shan Zhuokun smiled and waved his hand, "My master's surname is Yuan." ”
When Li Shimin saw him like this, he immediately showed a shocked expression. Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him was not only proficient in Taoism, but also behaved so freely. Sure enough, he was not burdened by this red and mundane ceremony.
And this surname Yuan brought his thoughts to the distant past, thinking of the bits and pieces of the past that he had gotten along with Yuan Tiangang.
"Oh? Your master's surname is Yuan? Li Shimin asked, "I wonder if it can be Lord Yuan Tiangang, the former secretary of the Imperial Heavenly Prison?" ”
Shan Zhuokun couldn't help grinning, hey, I didn't expect this old ancestor to really know the prophet, and he guessed that he was not far from ten. It's a pity that his master is not his former boss Yuan Tiangang, but a grandson who has been separated by many generations. As for Yuan Tiangang's own deity, although he had seen it in the Turtle Breath Technique before, he must not say this here. Otherwise, not only will others not believe it, but they will also think they are crazy. By the way, I don't know if there is a mental hospital here?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart. However, on the surface, he still pretended to be extremely calm, and he didn't see anything unusual at all.
"My master is not Yuan Tiangang, but he is also from his own family and is related by blood." Shan Zhuokun said triumphantly.
Master, Master, who got me here on a whim? I'm sorry, but since this living mummy inquired about your origins, it can only be sacrificed.
"Oh, that's it." Although Li Shimin's heart was a little disappointed, he was still extremely polite on the surface, "Since the immortal is so powerful, and the position of the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor happens to be empty, why don't you do it." ”
Shan Zhuokun didn't expect that he would be sealed so quickly, and he was stunned for a moment.
"Shangxian, don't thank you yet." Wei Chigong saw that he didn't make any moves, just looked at Li Shimin blankly, so he hurriedly urged.
When Shan Zhuokun heard this, he suddenly woke up like a dream, and said like someone else: "Thank you to the emperor for giving the official." ”
"Hmm." Li Shimin nodded with a smile, and then looked at Li Zhifeng who was standing beside Li Yuanchang, "Sixth brother, is this the county lord of Zhifeng?" ”
"Exactly." Li Yuanchang clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, this is my long-lost sister Zhifeng County Lord. ”
Li Shimin walked quickly in front of Li Zhifeng, looked up and down, and praised: "Sure enough, the aura is extraordinary, and at a glance, you can know that it is the descendant of my Li family." Sister Zhifeng, I've worked hard for you all these years. This time I entered the palace, I will make up for you. ”
Li Zhifeng was very warmed by this 'sister', she changed her usual arrogance, bowed down and saluted: "The people's daughter Li Zhifeng greets the emperor." ”
Seeing this, Li Shimin hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed her: "Today is a big day for you and my brother and sister to recognize each other, so the county lord of Zhifeng should not be so polite anymore." Today, I specially set up a banquet in the Victory Palace to wash the dust for the army. Wait until this is and go with me. ”
"Yes." The officers and men of the whole army clasped their fists at the same time and said in unison.
In the cheers of the people, the army followed the emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials who carried the dragon chariot in eight people into the city gate, and rushed towards the direction of the palace gate together.
