Chapter Seventy-Six: Meet the Tang Emperor
Outside the study, Guo Bin had just turned around and stood still, when he saw three people coming towards him. Although it was impossible to see the other party's appearance clearly in the dark night, judging from the speed of the pace, the hearts of the visitors must be extremely anxious.
"Who are you?" Guo Bin asked loudly to the figure in the dark.
The visitor did not answer, but continued to walk forward. After a while, when the other party came to the front, Guo Bin saw clearly that the leader was the new Imperial Heavenly Supervisor Cheng Shan Zhuokun and the major general Chi Baolin.
"Grandpa Guo, can the emperor be in the imperial study at this moment?" Yu Chi Baolin gave Guo Bin a deep salute with his fists, and said politely, "We have something very important to discuss with him." ”
Guo Bin nodded, but his eyes were still fixed on Ao Feng who was standing behind Shan Zhuokun and Yu Chi Baolin.
Seeing this, Shan Zhuokun said with a smile: "Gonggong Guo, this is my friend with General Wei Chi, his surname is Ao, and his single name is a wind character. Don't underestimate this proud son, he is also a child of a family, both civil and military. In the future, he can also become the emperor's right-hand man. ”
"Oh, that's right." Guo Bin glanced at Aofeng deeply, "Since that's the case, then you can come with the miscellaneous family." ”
After that, Guo Bin turned around and pushed the door, leading Shan Zhuokun and the three into the study.
At this time, Li Shimin was still sitting behind the table, bowing his head and correcting the folds. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he looked up in surprise. He originally wanted to blame Guo Bin for his repeated tossing and turning, but as soon as he saw Shan Zhuokun and Yu Chi Baolin coming in, he immediately took the words back. Smiling, he got up and came to the front of the two, and asked impatiently.
"Shan Aiqing, Wei Chi Aiqing, are you back? Is the snow disaster all over? ”
Shan Zhuokun and Yu Chi Baolin glanced at each other, bowed and saluted, and said in unison:
"Please rest assured, the matter in Jiangnan has been settled."
"Okay." Li Shimin stretched out his hand to help Shan Zhuokun and Wei Chi Baolin in turn, and then looked at the arrogant wind who was silently looking at him in surprise, "...... is this righteous man?" ”
Shan Zhuokun glanced at Li Shimin, and then turned his head to look at Guo Bin who was standing at the door.
Seeing this, Li Shimin said: "Guo Bin, you go outside and guard first, and no one is allowed to come in without my order." ”
Guo Bin agreed, quietly exited the door, and then closed the door gently.
Li Shimin saw that the door was closed, so he said to Shan Zhuokun again: "Shan Aiqing, this time you can tell me the name of this son." ”
Shan Zhuokun smiled slightly: "The emperor doesn't need to worry, I'll introduce you." This is the famous Dragon Prince Aofeng, the previous Snow Disaster Minister suspected that he sent someone to do it, but now it has been completely investigated, and he has nothing to do with this matter. It was his subordinates who were controlled by the Spirit King, so they committed such a crime. However, now that man has also been punished and beheaded by Prince Ao. And if it weren't for Brother Long's help this time, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly. ”
"Oh?" Li Shimin's face immediately showed surprise when he heard this, he looked Ao Feng up and down for a long time, and then said excitedly, "I didn't expect Ao Gongzi to have such a background, I am really honored to be able to see you as a dragon in the water." ”
Aofeng had already known that Li Shimin was transformed by Ziwei Xingjun, so he was extremely worried along the way. Seeing this situation at this moment, his heart calmed down a lot, and he hurriedly clenched his fists with both hands in accordance with the courtesy of the world, and replied respectfully:
"Proud wind to meet Emperor Tang."
Li Shimin didn't know his identity as Ziwei, and when he saw Aofeng being so polite at this moment, he was overjoyed, and nodded again and again:
"Okay, it seems that it's still my Tang Dynasty who is a treasure and a brilliant person, and even the Dragon Prince is so polite. Proud boy, you don't need to be so polite. As the saying goes, if you come, you are a guest. Since you have come with General Wei Chi and Master Shan, you are my distinguished guest, someone who has come. ”
Guo Bin was lying on the door and listening to the movement in the house with bated breath, when he suddenly heard the emperor's call, hurriedly pushed the door in, and bowed down to obey the order.
"Guo Bin, you quickly go to the dining room, and ask them to set up a sumptuous banquet in the Lingbo Pavilion of the Imperial Garden, and I will have a hearty drink with Master Shan, General Wei Chi and Ao Gongzi tonight."
"Yes." Guo Bin complied.
Then, he looked sideways at Shan Zhuokun, who was looking at him with a smile, and thought to himself.
I didn't expect that this Master Shan was so young and could make friends with the Prince of the Dragon Palace. If he can keep the Tang Dynasty all the time, I believe that the national fortune will last for a long time, then it will really be the well-being of the court and the people.
"Guo Bin, you don't want to go quickly, what's the matter?" Li Shimin saw that Guo Bin was not moving, so he frowned and urged.
"No..... No" Guo Bin heard the emperor's question, and hurriedly replied, "The slave will go here." ”
"Hmm." Li Shimin waved his hand and motioned for Guo Bin to step back.
Under Guo Bin's Zhang Luo, the hour was short, and all the wine and food were prepared.
Lingyan Pavilion, Li Shimin and Shan Zhuokun sat around the stone table, chatting with wine, very happy.
After a while, seeing that most of the wine and food on the table had gone down, the drunken Li Shimin suddenly felt a strong sadness in his heart. At the same time, his expression suddenly darkened.
Shan Zhuokun saw this scene clearly, he put the wine glass on the table, and asked Li Shimin with concern:
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Drinking wine decently, why do you sigh? ”
Li Shimin shook his head and pretended to be calm: "It's nothing, I'm just a little bit of seeing things and thinking about people." ”
The thing reminds one of its owner......?!
Shan Zhuokun's heart moved, from the previous conversation with Wei Chigong and others, he had already learned that the relationship between Li Shimin and Yuan Tiangang was extraordinary, could it be said that the performance at this time was also related to him?
Thinking of this, Shan Zhuokun smiled and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, gathering and dispersing are all fate. I think one day you'll see the person you're missing again. ”
Shan Zhuokun is telling the truth, as the so-called mountains do not turn around. Since Yuan Tiangang is not dead, he will definitely return to Chang'an one day. It's just that as the mastermind of this crossing incident at that time, he must still be quietly hiding behind.
Hmph, when my brother meets this surnamed Yuan, he must take revenge. beat him to cry and cry for his mother, begging for mercy all over the ground.
Shan Zhuokun thought indignantly in his heart, vaguely, he seemed to see Yuan Tiangang crying and begging for mercy to himself, and how happy he was in his heart.
Thinking of this, Shan Zhuokun couldn't help laughing.
However, he didn't know that his unintentional words just now actually gave birth to a strong desire in Li Shimin's heart again, as if there was a fire beating again in a brazier covered with cold ash, although it was small, it was enough to warm his heart.
"Shan Aiqing, I heard that your divination skills are also very good." Li Shimin drank another glass of wine with the three of them, and then said seriously to Shan Zhuokun, "Can you find the whereabouts of the two of them?" ”
"The emperor said that there should be Yuan Tiangang and Lord Yuan among the two, right?" Shan Zhuokun knew Li Shimin's thoughts, but he still asked knowingly.
"Yes. Another person's name is called Zishu Jiangyuan, although this person has died on the battlefield as early as the Xuanwumen Rebellion, but I haven't seen his bones after all, so there is still a trace of luck in my heart. ”
When Li Shimin said this, his expression became even more sad.
