Chapter Eighty-Eight: Entering the Palace and Facing the Saint
An Qingzong had just entered Chang'an City, so Zhang Daxiong, the general of the Right Jin Wuwei Zhonglang, didn't know him, and of course, An Qingzong didn't know Zhang Daxiong.
Li An didn't intend to hide it, leaned on Zhang Daxiong's ear, and whispered: "General Zhang, this kid is in the same group as Liu Luogu, and it is estimated that he lives in Liu Luogu's original mansion, if you don't believe it, the general can go over and ask, and why he stopped me, the general should be able to guess." ”
Zhang Daxiong nodded lightly, walked to An Qingzong, and asked him if he knew Liu Luogu and where he lived, but naturally Li An guessed that An Qingzong knew Liu Luogu and lived in Liu Luogu's previous house.
"Take them all and put them in jail."
Zhang Daxiong was not verbose, and directly ordered the arrest of people.
No matter how Anqingzong shouted, the soldiers of Youjin Wuwei directly arrested them as if they hadn't heard it, this is Chang'an City, not a small city in Yingzhou, Anqingzong wants to spread wilderness in Chang'an City, it is completely delusional.
"Captain Li, presumably these people want to avenge Liu Luogu, so they deliberately trouble you on the street, but don't worry, this is Chang'an City, with our right Jin Wuwei here, these young people can't turn the sky."
Watching his subordinates escort An Qingzong and his party away, Zhang Daxiong said confidently.
Li An thanked him: "Thank you General Zhang today, I will invite you to drink another day, I have something to do next, and I will leave." ”
"Okay, Captain Li, please."
Zhang Daxiong was supposed to bring Li An back to the Yamen to investigate, but he was confident that he had understood the reason for the dispute between the two sides, and there was no need to do more, and in addition, Li An was valued by the emperor Li Longji and Gao Lishi, and he also had the intention of making friends.

In the twenty-ninth year of Kaiyuan, it was the last year of Kaiyuan, and the weather in this year was particularly bad, first the continuous heavy rain in Hebei did not stop, and then there was continuous snowfall that had not been encountered in a hundred years, which caused great losses to agriculture.
Now, as the New Year approaches, Chang'an City is also snowing one after another, the temperature has dropped again and again, and many elderly people who are not in good health have not been able to survive this winter, and even Emperor Li Xian has died in the latest big cooling.
There are still a few days to go before the New Year, Li An asked the steward of the Lingzhou Concert Institute to buy more food, the market is closed during the New Year, if you don't buy all the food in advance, you will be hungry during the New Year.
"Big brother, someone is in the palace."
When Li An heard this, he hurriedly took a group of brothers to the gate of the Lingzhou Jinju Academy.
"General, why are you here?"
Seeing Gao Lishi stepping into the Lingzhou Concert Academy, Li An was slightly surprised.
Gao Lishi smiled faintly: "Li Shaolang, last time our family told you that the Holy Lord would summon you in a few days, and early this morning, the Holy Authority gave an order to let our family personally come to announce the decree." ”
Li An hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Majesty summoned Li An, just send someone to inform you at will, why let the general come to announce it in person, how can Li An bear it." ”
As a low-status Xuanjie lieutenant, Li An really didn't understand why Li Longji asked Gao Lishi to invite him in person, could it be that in Li Longji's heart, he was so important.
Gao Lishi had a kind attitude, took Li An's hand, and said softly: "Li Shaolang, since the Holy Lord heard that you used skis to break the Tibetan army, he has always been curious, how can a small wooden board come and go in the snow like flying? Now that a heavy snowfall has just fallen in the capital, the meaning of the saint is to see it in person, so let our family ask for some details to see if the environment in the palace can be used by Li Shaolang. ”
When Li An heard this, he suddenly realized that Li Longji not only wanted to summon him, but also to watch him perform skiing, so he asked Gao Lishi to ask about skiing in person.
"General, as long as there are ten acres of open space in the palace, Li An is enough to perform, of course, the larger the snow area, the better, if the terrain is high and low, it will be even better."
Ang Lee is not afraid, such an opportunity is rare, and he is extremely skilled in skiing, no matter what kind of terrain, he can skillfully control it.
Gao Lishi was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is really good, there are more than ten acres of snow in the palace, oh, by the way, how long does it take for Li Shaolang to get ready for skis?" ”
"General, there is no need to prepare for this, Li An brought more than 100 pairs of skis from Ulzhou, and piled them up in this Lingzhou Concert Academy."
Gao Lishi nodded slightly, looked at Li Fei Shouyu and the others, and asked, "Li Shaolang, these brothers of yours all use skis?" ”
"Yes, generals, they can all use it skillfully, and when they attacked the Tibetan army in Ulzhou, they all rushed to the front."
Ang Lee's tone was extremely proud, full of confidence in his brother.
Gao Lishi nodded with great satisfaction: "Li Shaolang, you can choose more than ten of the most reliable brothers, bring skis and snowboards to enter the palace with you, but you must not make a mistake when performing in front of the saint." ”
"Don't worry, General, Ang Lee knows what to do."
Li An was very confident, and immediately asked Li Fei Shouyu and several other brothers to bring skis and follow him into the palace.
On the way to the palace, Gao Lishi reminded Li An from time to time, telling Li An not to be rude, not to be disrespectful to the emperor, not to deceive the emperor, and to believe that the emperor is a wise monarch and a great emperor who knows everything.
It is not the first time that Li An has entered the Daming Palace, the last time he entered the Daming Palace, under the leadership of Yan Zhenqing, he went to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, and this time, he wanted to meet Li Longji, the supreme ruler of the Tang Empire.
After all, the records of Tang Xuanzong in later history books are still very detailed, but historical books are written by people and contain the writer's point of view, which is inevitably biased, so it is not completely accurate.
A group of people entered from the Yanzheng Gate of Daming Palace, and stopped on the south side of the Xiama Bridge, and after crossing the Xiama Bridge is the forbidden place of the palace, therefore, the people who enter the palace must leave the war horse and walk through the Xiama Bridge to show respect for the Son of Heaven.
After crossing the Xiama Bridge, Gao Lishi took Li An and others to pass directly from the right side of the Hanyuan Hall and the Xuanzheng Palace, and entered the outside of the Zichen Hall from the Chongming Gate.
Gao Lishi asked Li An and the others to stay, and walked quickly into the Zichen Palace: "Everyone, Li Shaolang led more than ten warriors and has arrived outside the hall. ”
When Li Longji heard this, his face was happy, and he raised his hand: "Xuan Li An will meet you." ”
At this time, in the main hall, in addition to Li Longji, Li Linfu and other old ministers, King Qing, the crown prince and other princes were also present, most of them had never seen Li An, and they were very curious, and they all wanted to know what Li An, who was shining in Ulzhou, looked like.
Li Linfu's eyes widened even more, wanting to take a good look at Ang Li and see what kind of magical power this person who made him interested.
"Weichen Li An, knock to see Your Majesty."
Li An strode into the Zichen Hall and bowed.
"Flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li An slowly got up and looked up at Li Longji on the throne.
After seeing Li An, most of the ministers and princes in the hall were talking in low voices, and the crown prince Li Heng cast appreciative glances at Li An, and Li Linfu was even more surprised.
Isn't the Ang Li in front of him the young man who looked at him on the street a few days ago? This kid is so bold that he actually looks directly at the emperor, and he has no fear at all.
Li Longji doesn't care about Ang Lee's direct gaze, he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, what kind of character has he never seen, although Ang Lee looks at him directly, his eyes are clear, full of confident light, he is a very energetic young man, and he has the shadow of his youth.
"Li An, Ulzhou has made meritorious contributions many times, first with the strategy of suspicious soldiers, scared off more than 10,000 elites of the Tibetan army, rescued Zhang Qiqiu, and then used the strategy of leading the snake out of the hole twice, annihilated all the spies of the Tibetan army in Anbian City, and then took the initiative to attack, raided the camp of the Tibetan army with 300 soldiers, broke the 5,000 elites of the Tibetan army, and killed the general Li Tianlong of the Tibetan army, and finally, rushed back and forth within a radius of 100 miles, annihilating nearly 1,000 enemies without any losses, so that the Tibetan army was frightened when they heard that my Tang Dynasty soldiers were frightened, and children did not dare to cry at night."
Li Longji looked directly at Li Ang and told Li Ang's exploits one by one.
Li An naturally remembered his own contributions, and when he saw Li Longji say these things in one breath, he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "It's just a little merit, I didn't expect Your Majesty to remember it so clearly." ”
"Hahaha! Ang Li, it is already very remarkable that you can make such a contribution at such a young age, and only Wang Zhonghei, the general under my command, can match you when he is young. ”
Li Longji praised Ang Lee loudly.
Li An was praised by the emperor, and he was very happy, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely make persistent efforts, make more contributions to the Tang Dynasty in the future, and protect the Tang Dynasty for Your Majesty." ”
Li Longji laughed, his eyes were full of appreciation, paused, and said softly: "Li An, you have 300 soldiers in Ulzhou and 5,000 elites of the Tibetan army, I heard that this is all the credit of your invention of the snowboard, this ski can fly in the snow, is this really the case?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, when marching in the snow, skis are indeed much faster than cavalry."
Li Longji glanced at the princes and ministers in the main hall, and said: "I believe you, but I and the ministers, and the prince have never seen snowboards, let alone skiers flying in the snow, the weather is sunny today, Ang Li, you can perform in the palace, so that I and everyone in the palace can see it." ”
"Wechen obeys."
Li An responded briskly.
Li Longji glanced at Yu Chaoen beside him, and Yu Chaoen shouted loudly: "Drive the Taiye Pavilion." ”
A group of people surrounded Li Longji and walked towards the Taiye Pavilion about two miles north of Zichen Palace, and Li An and more than ten brothers naturally followed suit.
The so-called Taiye Pavilion is a small pavilion on Penglai Mountain, an island in the middle of the Taiye Pond, to put it carefully, there is a very considerable area of water in the north of the Daming Palace, called Taiye Pond, there is an island called Penglai Mountain in the middle of the Taiye Pond, and a small pavilion on Penglai Mountain is Taiye Pavilion.
