Chapter 126: Returning Home
Li Su and more than ten others rode into Taiping Village, gradually slowing down the speed of the horse, the road in the countryside was too narrow, and when they reached the middle of the village, they dismounted, and everyone led the horse on foot.
When he met the villagers on the way, everyone saluted him one after another, looking very awe-struck, and it seemed that the matter of the knighthood had already spread to the village.
Li Su smiled bitterly, I'm afraid that I will never be able to go back to the past in the future, the status has changed, the relationship between people has also changed, he and the villagers are no longer equal identities, and it is impossible to think about the leisure of being free from the world.
When he arrived at the familiar door, the door had been opened, Li Daozheng was still sitting on the threshold, and when he saw Li Su coming back, he suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes into a line, got up and wanted to catch up, and felt that as a father, he should hold the shelf, so he just lifted half of his buttocks and sat back again, and his smile was also retracted, and he looked like he was not smiling.
Li Su got off the horse, knelt down towards Li Daozheng, and said with a smile: "Dad, the child is back." ”
Li Daozheng laughed again, looked at the eight armored knights behind Li Su, and was immediately very satisfied with his son's pomp, nodded and said, "It's good to come back, let's go, let's all go into the house." ”
After saying that, Li Daozheng got up and walked into the house, a large group of villagers surrounded outside the gate of the Li family at some point, everyone stared at the Li family father and son with envy, whispered and discussed, and met the envious eyes of everyone, Li Daozheng's waist straightened up a lot unconsciously, and when he looked closely, there was a ...... The momentum of Taiping Village?
Li Su turned around and smiled at the villagers, and then bowed and saluted, and the villagers, regardless of their age or age, were so frightened that they hurriedly returned the salute.
Invited eight knights to enter the gate, Li Sugang was about to close the gate, but Li Daozheng said: "Don't close the door." ”
Li Su was stunned: "Why? ”
Li Daozheng paused, and said with a flickering gaze: "...... Open the door. Ventilation. ”
Looking at the villagers who were surrounded by Hulala at the gate, Li Su suddenly understood his father's careful thoughts.
It's good, my dad wants to open an exhibition, and the main content of the exhibition is his son, and by the way, there are eight knights.
Li Su had no choice but to smile stiffly at the villagers and open the door obediently. He beckoned the knights to sit down in the courtyard.
Li Daozheng was still sitting on the threshold, squinting his eyes and scanning the villagers, and then asked loudly with a straight face: "I heard that you have made military merits?" Was also knighted by His Majesty? ”
"Daddy, be quiet, the child can hear ......"
"It's all knights, why don't you have a courtesy? Back! ”
Li Su said honestly: "Yes, the child took his luck and made a small contribution, His Majesty Xià Imperial Seal Jingyang County, from the fifth grade of Jue." ”
"What do you say? Be louder! Lao Tzu's ears are not good these days! Li Daozheng turned his head sideways. One palm is propped up next to his ear, and his acting skills are very exaggerated.
Li Su was depressed, why didn't he see that his father was such a vain person before?
"The boy has made a meritorious service! His Majesty named me the son of Jingyang County! Li Su shouted at the top of his voice.
"Oh-" Li Daozheng finally heard it, and let out a long, comfortable sigh of satisfaction.
"Oh-" The villagers outside the door also let out all kinds of sighs of envy and envy, in sync with the old daddy god.
In the eyes of a group of gods, Li Daozheng's vanity was also greatly satisfied.
"Your Majesty has been knighted, there should be an official uniform, right?" Li Daozheng threw out a new topic of vanity.
Cold sweat flowed down Li Su's forehead: "There is ......"
"Go, wear out. Come with me to the village for a walk......" Li Daozheng exerted his spirit and reprimanded the square, and said heavily.
"Huh? Parade through the streets? ”
"Returning home!"
Li Su couldn't stand it anymore. It should be considered an honorable thing for me to be knighted, but what's the matter with wearing an official uniform and walking around the village like a dog?
"The child is tired, sleep first, I have to go to Chang'an City tomorrow, and His Majesty wants to summon me."
As soon as he heard His Majesty summoning him, Li Daozheng didn't dare to show it. Foolishly gave up the beautiful idea of walking his son in the village.
***********************************************************
Li Su was indeed tired, and after settling a few knights, he closed the door and slept well.
After sleeping until dawn, Li Su yawned and got up, and the eight knights also said goodbye to him and returned to the camp to give orders. Li Su gave each person two pieces of money to express his gratitude for escorting them all the way, and then stepped on the horse. changed into a formal light crimson official uniform, and prepared to enter the city with official documents and waist cards in his arms.
Before going out, Li Daozheng looked at Li Su, and stopped talking several times, but Li Su had no choice but to restrain himself.
"Dad, is there something wrong?"
Li Daozheng waved his hand: "Don't do anything, go to Chang'an, Your Majesty will summon you, don't dare to delay, go quickly!" ”
Li Su glanced at his father curiously, and didn't think too much, he had to come back quickly after seeing His Majesty the Emperor, and Dongyang was still waiting for him by the river.
…………
Hitting the horse into Chang'an, Li Su rode on a galloping horse, his chest was filled with a spring breeze and the pleasure of the horse's hooves, he suddenly felt that in fact, being an official is not bad, especially the title of no real position, no matter what he does, he is not blindly mixed, and the court has to take care of the eating and drinking of a lazy person like him, a qiē seems to be quite perfect, except for the ...... This light crimson official uniform is a little sissy.
After entering Chang'an City, Li Su got off the horse and led the horse forward.
Chang'an City is generally not allowed to ride horses, "general" means, there are occasional exceptions, such as those few gods hate, ghosts and ghosts of the founding generals, especially Cheng Biting Jin as a representative, they can ride horses in Chang'an City, that is Li Shimin's special decree, Li Su is a small county in Chang'an City, grab a handful, if you don't want to be disgraced by the imperial historians of the Imperial History Tower, it is best to be low-key when you enter the city.
When I left Songzhou, I had asked Gao Jifu about the procedure for meeting the emperor's majesty, first I had to report to the Ministry of Rites, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites would report to the level by level, and then honestly stay in the official office of the Ministry of Rites and wait for the notice, to see when the emperor was in the mood, if the emperor was busy forgetting about summoning him, the Ministry of Rites would play again, if the next time the emperor still didn't think of summoning you, then it can be proved that this person has completely failed to save his senses, where did he come from, and where to go, wait for the next summons.
Li Su led the horse to the official office of the Ministry of Rites located on Suzaku Street, tied the horse at the door, and the soldiers guarding the door saw that Li Su was so young, but he was wearing a five-grade light scarlet female cannon official uniform, and they all showed strange eyes, Li Su handed over the body and waist card, and the government soldiers came out not long after taking it in, and politely invited him in.
The whole process was very smooth, Li Su sat in the official office of the Ministry of Rites until about noon, and a eunuch came to the palace, ordering Li Su to enter the Taiji Palace immediately.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites were very surprised, generally speaking, it would take a day or two for officials below the fifth rank to wait for His Majesty to summon him at the earliest, how could this young county man only wait for more than an hour to be summoned?
