Xue Ne glanced at Lu Zheng at this time, and said slowly: "Then do you know what kind of person this Yao Yi is, do you know the roots?" ”

"I don't know, but since he is the son of Yao Xiang, he is a nobleman."

Xue Ne smiled at this time: "A nobleman is a nobleman, but he can't do it without political achievements." My father was also deeply trusted by Emperor Gaozong back then, but I was a pure family since I was a child, and when I was older, I received the post of Chengmen Lang, and I was never arrogant. ”

At this time, Lu Zheng also deeply recognized Xue Ne's words, and hurriedly said: "It's still Xue Shuai's unique opinion. ”

Xue Ne heard Lu Zheng call him Xue Shuai, so he said: "Don't call me Xue Shuai when you enter Chang'an, there are many people here who are older than my official position, I am also a general of Zuo Yulin, and I don't know why I was relocated this time." ”

Lu Zheng said: "General Xue's mind understands that I will remain silent when I encounter something that should not be said. ”

The two of them walked in a hurry, walking towards the Vermilion Bird Gate of the imperial city, at this time Lu Zheng has been thinking about the true face of today's son, the current emperor is only in the second year of his ascension, but since he took the throne, he has been determined to rule the world peacefully, and the ten things brought by Yao Chong have to say, which also makes governing the world become a program to follow.

The saint also has the merit of setting things right, first pacifying the rebellion of Empress Wei, and then leveling Princess Taiping's party, and exterminating Cen Xi, Xiao Zhizhong, Cui Xiang, and Dou Huaizhen.

Now the court is full of heroes who have helped the saint, and there are even eunuch servants like Wang Maozhong, Yang Siqiao, Gao Lishi and others are also the henchmen of the saint. And among the officials, there are still capable ministers like Yao Chong, Wei Zhigu, and Song Jing, who do their best to assist the saints. From this point of view, today's saints can be described as wise monarchs and sages.

At this time, there was a team of people in front of him, which happened to stop in front of Xue Ne and Lu Zheng, Xue Ne looked at the person who came down from the carriage was the lieutenant official in the palace, and the lieutenant came to him and said: "There is an order from the saint to send me here to welcome General Xue back to Beijing." ”

Xue Ne hurriedly said, "Thank you, Holy Lord." ”

"Who is he?" The lieutenant looked at Lu Zheng, and then had some doubts.

Xue Ne hurriedly explained: "His name is Lu Zheng, and he is now a general appointed by the Holy Lord, and he is about to be awarded the post of Governor of Anbei Prefecture. ”

"It turned out to be Lu Changshi, please get in the car." The lieutenant squinted and smiled.

Lu Zheng and Xue Ne got into the car, and Xue Ne couldn't help but ask in the car: "Dare to ask if the Holy Lord has already brought Wang Haibin's young son into the palace?" ”

The lieutenant said with a smile: "It seems that General Xue and the late General Wang Haibin have a relationship, this Wang Haibin's youngest son Wang Zhonghei, the general is relieved, and now he has been admitted to the palace and handed over to the concubine to raise." The Holy One will never neglect the sons of heroes. ”

Listening to this Zhongguan's yin and yang weirdness, Lu Zheng was a little disgusted, but now that the saint is surrounded by some Zhongguan, he really doesn't dare to say anything else inappropriate when he first enters here.

Xue Ne smiled happily with this lieutenant at this time, and the two talked again, but Lu Zheng was even more uncomfortable when he heard it. When this lieutenant mentioned Yang Siqiao, Lu Zheng couldn't help but listen carefully, to the effect that this Longyou Dao battle, Yang Siqiao supported the soldiers of Longyou Dao very much in front of His Majesty.

There was a lot of meaning in the tone of the lieutenant to win over Xue Ne, and Lu Zheng was very disdainful in his heart, but he still forced a smile.

The carriage swayed all the way to Suzaku Street, where the market was more prosperous, Lu Zheng poked his head out, and the high pavilions and Qihu were connected endlessly, until Lu Zheng saw the tall city gate from a distance, and turned back to the lieutenant in the palace and said: "Dare to ask this lieutenant, where is the saint today?" ”

"You don't have to say much, just let me go. But there is one thing that you must understand, see Your Majesty later, don't lose your words. ”

Lu Zheng said: "Please rest assured that the lieutenant officer will not be able to meet His Majesty, even if he is an ordinary superior official, I am also measured in respect and humility etiquette." ”

"Uh-huh, that's great."

At this time, Lu Zheng turned his gaze to Xue Ne again, he closed his eyes tightly, and Lu Zheng couldn't help asking, "General Xue is sleepy?" We're almost there. ”

Xue Ne opened his eyes and said, "I'm old, and I've been a little tired all the way from Longyou, and now I'm getting more and more tired. ”

At this time, the lieutenant next to him said: "If General Xue is tired, it is better to stay in the courtyard of the palace first, and the matter of meeting Your Majesty is postponed." Why don't I explain to Your Majesty, you can also send an imperial doctor. ”

Xue Ne hurriedly said: "Now I won't work with the imperial doctor in the palace, I can recuperate quietly for a while, but I must not stop talking about seeing Your Majesty today." ”

Lu Zheng knew that Xue Ne was old, and when he was fighting in Longyou, he stayed awake for many days and nights, worrying about things in the army.

At this time, the Vermilion Bird Gate stood majestically in front of him, and Lu Zheng looked out, and there were soldiers in iron armor standing on it, and the military academy led by him was pacing back and forth. The carriage drove straight under the door without hindrance, and then the eaves of the palace were prominently displayed.

After entering the palace ban, the three of them got out of the carriage, Lu Zheng helped Xue Ne to walk, here is heavily guarded, the lieutenant in front is leading the way, and said: "When I see the saint later, I will report it, and then I will wait to inquire." ”

The eunuch in front turned left and right, and led Lu Zheng and Xue Ne into a pear orchard, surrounded by fallen pear trees, the ground was covered with a layer of pear tree branches and leaves, and even the sound of gurgling water could be heard, lingering on its side.

The eunuch stopped, pointed to the pear tree in front of him, and said, "Please, two of you." ”

Lu Zheng saw that there was a pavilion covered by a pear tree in front of him, and after walking in with Xue Ne, he saw a young man sitting in the pavilion, next to several maids, and eunuchs standing around.

Lu Zheng thought that the person in front of him should be the current saint, and bowed with Xue Ne, shouting long live. At this time, Tang Xuanzong just waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to stand up, and then said: "General Xue Ne is loyal to the country, and he is really a dry city. After the war with Tibet, you said that there was no war for more than ten years, and it is wise to look at it now. ”

Lu Zheng and Xue Ne were both sitting on the stone bench outside the pavilion at this time, listening to the inquiry of the saint, Lu Zheng didn't expect the saint to be so young now before he came here, and after listening to the words, he also felt very young and promising.

Then Tang Xuanzong turned his attention to Lu Zheng again, and said: "The person in front of me is the person who has made great contributions in this battle, I heard that it is a cloth cloth, and he is valued by Wang Hui and cited as a general, named Lu Zheng." ”

Lu Zheng was also a little nervous when he came to this palace for the first time at this time, so he said in a trembling voice: "The minister's name is indeed Lu Zheng." ”

"Well, I have already ordered the Ministry of War to grant you the position of Protector of Anbei, you have to do a good job in this official position, don't hurt my heart."

Lu Zheng kowtowed like pounding garlic at this time, and said yes again and again.
