Chapter 497: Loyal Monarch Temple
After the person who came to read the holy decree and looked at the kneeling crowd, the eunuch was also very excited, but he did not forget his duty, "Master Hou, Manager Zhang, and all the brothers, Your Highness has an order, after you are handed over, immediately rush to the East Palace, to drink the full moon wine of the emperor's eldest grandson"
"Thank you for your grace, thank you for your grace" Hearing the eunuch's words, Wei Cheng took the holy decree, knelt down again in the direction of the imperial city, and shouted.
The other Mingwei who had come back with them also knelt down again.
"Thank Your Majesty for Your Grace"
"Thank Your Highness for your grace"
"I wish the emperor's eldest grandson, a thousand years old"
………
After that, the handover was very fast, and Wei Cheng handed over all the prisoners and the treasures he brought back to the Xuanjia Army.
and Zhang Gao rushed to the East Palace with people non-stop.
When they walked on the road, looking at the joyful appearance of the entire Chang'an City, they also showed a happy smile, especially after the people recognized them, the people of Chang'an spontaneously stood on both sides to welcome them.
This makes these crippled people, who are usually looked down upon, puff up their chests one by one, and welcome the moment of glory that belongs to them.
And Li Chengqian, who was on the wall of the imperial city, also saw this scene, and also smiled, he was very satisfied with his arrangement this time.
That's right, those who recognized Wei Cheng and them were all Ming Wei arranged by Li Chengqian, as early as when Wei Cheng and them were 100 miles away from Chang'an, Li Chengqian asked Ming Wei to publicize the exploits of Wei Cheng and others in Chang'an, and even arranged for people to reveal their identities after Wei Cheng and others entered the city, so there was this scene.
"Your Highness, haven't you seen it?" After Li Chengqian looked at it for a while, and threw the clairvoyant mirror in his hand to Xiao Anzi, he left without looking back, and Xiao Anzi asked in a daze.
"Don't look at it, let's go" Li Chengqian replied to Xiao Anzi in a good mood, and then went down the city wall.
In this regard, Xiao Anzi hurriedly followed and waited on the side.
After Li Chengqian left, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard on the city wall all looked at Li Chengqian who left with anticipation.
"Your Highness is really a good person, or I can be His Highness's subordinate," one of the soldiers said with emotion.
"If you want to become a subordinate of His Highness, it is not easy to do, as long as you have the ability and can be admitted to the Military Academy, then you can be regarded as His Highness's protégé, but the assessment is too strict, only 5 people in our Praetorian Guard have been admitted this year, but nearly 1,000 people have taken the test" The commander of the soldier, hearing the words of his soldiers, patted him on the shoulder and said to him.
"My lord, we have a chance, too?" The soldier, when he heard this, asked with a look of surprise on his face.
"Yes! All the soldiers and officers of the guards in Datang have," the soldier's commander said slowly.
"But, big and small, obedient, the places in this military academy are in the hands of those big people, we really have a chance," the soldier said with some uncertainty.
"The quota in the hands of those big men is different from ours, even our Praetorian Guard and other guards are different, the annual quota of other guards is fixed, and there are only 2 places in a guard, of course, although they only have 2 places, but as long as they have soldiers who have made meritorious contributions, according to the size of the merit, they can also have quotas, and they do not occupy the original quota, and our Praetorian Guard and Jinwuwei and Xuanjia Army are different, we have no quota limit, as long as you can complete the assessment of the military academy, you will have a quota, so boy, If you want to get ahead, then work hard! With that, the officer patted the soldier and encouraged him.
Hearing this, the soldier's eyes lit up, and he felt that he had found a direction to work hard, and his eyes became sharp.
After Li Chengqian came down from the city wall, he returned to the East Palace and continued to be busy.
At this time, the East Palace is also in full swing to arrange the venue for tonight's full moon banquet, and it is full of prosperity.
And after the dormitory, Li Yaoquan was teased by his unscrupulous aunts and uncles, among which Xiao Yi'er was the most excessive, pinching Li Yao's little face from time to time.
"Auntie, when will you give birth, my brother is not fun at all, I want a sister" On the other side, Li Lin gently touched Xia Ju's stomach and said to Xia Ju.
As soon as these words came out, before Xia Ju could speak, Yang Yan'er stopped doing it, pulled Li Lin to her side and slapped her buttocks, and said to her, "Dead girl, what nonsense, your aunt must have given birth to a younger brother"
"Sister, don't be like this, Lin'er didn't do anything wrong, and I also want to have a daughter, you don't know why your husband likes her daughter the most" Xia Ju saw Yang Yan'er beating Li Lin, and hurriedly said to stop it, and touched her belly and said there.
Sure enough, when Xia Ju said this, Yang Yan'er was a little stunned, she also knew that her man liked his daughter, but liking was one thing, she was still a little worried about giving birth to a daughter.
"Mother, you see that my aunt said that she was going to give birth to a sister, sister, you have to come out quickly, when you come out, my sister will take you to play" As soon as Li Lin heard Xia Ju say that she was going to give birth to a daughter, she immediately said something to Yang Yan'er, and then ran to Xia Ju, carefully leaned on Xia Ju's belly, and said softly to Xia Ju's stomach, for fear of scaring the child in Xia Ju's belly.
Li Lin's cute scene immediately caused everyone present to chuckle.
Time passed quickly, and more than an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and at this time, outside Li Chengqian's study, and in front of Li Shimin's Taiji Palace, someone went to report that Wei Cheng had arrived at Yanxi Gate with people.
Hearing the report, Li Chengqian immediately rushed to Yanxi Gate, and when Li Shimin arrived, he said that he knew, and then continued to review the chapter.
When Li Chengqian rushed to the gate of Yanxi, more than 500 Ming guards who came back with Wei Cheng this time, the moment they saw Li Chengqian, they collectively knelt down to Li Chengqian and saluted, and shouted "Slaves and maids see Your Highness"
Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian stepped forward, helped Wei Cheng and Zhang Gao as the leaders, and then took great pains to help up a Ming Wei who was kneeling on the ground, and said a word of encouragement to them.
It was just such a sentence that made them cry silently like children one by one.
"Don't cry, today is a happy day, none of you are disappointed by the king, you want the world to prove, even if you are eunuchs, you are also a man who stands up to the sky, and at the same time you are completely a great thing, a thing that is enough to leave a name in history, hereby this king specially invites Your Majesty, next to the imperial mausoleum, build a loyal monarch shrine, since you, all the eunuchs who have contributed to the Tang Dynasty in the future will be buried there after death, and enjoy the worship of the Tang Dynasty" Li Chengqian looked at the crying Ming Wei, walked to the front and said to them loudly.
As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, all the eunuchs in front of the entire Yanxi Gate looked at Li Chengqian in a daze, their faces full of incredulity.
