Two peach blossom horses pulled a tall vermilion lacquer carriage, starting from the East Palace, passing through the Chunming Gate in the east of Chang'an City, and going straight to the East City, where the nobles and ministers lived.

After a while, the carriage came to the outside of a very imposing mansion.

But see, the red wall and green tiles stand more than one zhang, two mighty stone lions open their teeth and dance claws, and the vermilion lacquer gate with a width of more than one zhang has just been painted.

The plaque on the purlin of the gate is impressively written 'Li Mansion' two strong characters, the font is thick and round, very tough and stylish.

As soon as the groom reined in the reins, two musculine men stepped out of the car.

These two are the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the East Palace Zhan Shi Li Jing.

As soon as he got out of the car, Li Jiancheng pointed to the ink in the plaque and said, "General Li, do you know who the ink treasure in this plaque comes from?" ”

Before Li Jing could take a closer look, he was surprised by the scene in front of him, and he asked suspiciously, "Your Highness, isn't this the mansion of Yang Su, the prime minister of the previous dynasty?" When did it change its name to 'Lee House'? ”

Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "Father is really not wrong, General Li is a nostalgic person, and even the ink treasure of Yu Shinan, the pilgrim hand, has no intention of appreciating it. Let's go first and take a look! ”

Li Jing replied respectfully: "Your Highness, Yang Xiangguo is a benefactor of the next, and I dare not forget it!" ”

Li Jiancheng waved his hand and said, "I know this." ”

As he spoke, the two of them had already walked into the door of the house. I just walked into the house, but I saw that the carved beams and paintings were all whitewashed, the gray tiles on the house were lined with new faces, and the stone steps were old but they were sprinkled and cleaned......

Even the old trees in the precincts are rejuvenated and more lush.

When you arrive in the living room, the rich and luxurious furnishings are amazing—the carpets are Persian boutiques, the furniture is all Javanese mahogany, the screens are from Yizhou famous teachers, the tea sets are from Jiangzhou Gong kiln, and even the daily use is exquisite and practical.

Li Jiancheng motioned for Li Jing to sit on the felt mat and asked with concern, "Is General Li satisfied with the furnishings in the house?" ”

Li Jing was very surprised, and he asked, "What does Your Highness mean?" ”

Li Jiancheng said slowly: "My father has long intended to give this mansion to General Li, but this mansion has been dilapidated for a long time, and it took a lot of time to repair it with all its might, so it has been delayed until now." ”

Li Jing hurriedly excused himself and said: "How can Weichen be virtuous, he dare not accept the order." ”

"There are no secret words in front of the bright. The father and emperor will go out of Tongguan to crusade against Wang Shichong; I, the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, will be transferred to the front of the Eastern Crusade in large numbers. At that time, there is still a handsome talent around my father to ensure the peace of Chang'an! ”

"Li Jing swears allegiance to His Majesty and His Highness!"

"I'm here today mainly to arrange a place for General Li to stay, and your family can come with you. As for the future appointment, it is all up to the emperor to arrange. ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate!"

……

After Li Jiancheng left, Li Jing began to pace back and forth around the renovated house, where there were too many things and people. After touching the scene, the past couldn't help but come to mind one by one.

Thirty years ago, Li Jing was just a weak-crowned teenager. At that time, he often followed his uncle Han Baohu, who was a famous general of the Great Sui, to visit this mansion.

At that time, Yang Su, the owner of the house, was in a high position as the prime minister of the Great Sui Dynasty, and he was powerful.

But Yang Su was the only one who was impressed by the personable young man Li Jing. During the conversation, he saw that Li Jing was extraordinary, and he was full of heroism.

So he pointed to his felt mat and said to Li Jing, who was more than 30 years younger than him: "You will have to sit in my position sooner or later." ”

As soon as these words came out, they quickly spread among the people, and Li Jing became famous as a young man and became a celebrity in Chang'an City.

Zhang Chuchen, a dancer in Yang Sufu, has a discerning eye for heroes, and takes the initiative to elope with the young Li Jing. In the long years that followed, they remained the same, soothing the ambition of 'a strong man should make meritorious deeds'.

Time flies, vicissitudes of life.

After Yang Su's death, the new emperor Yang Guang deliberately derogated Li Jing because of his discord with Yang Su, and let him garrison the border pass Mayi for nearly 20 years.

Li Jingkong has some ambitions, but it is difficult to reach them, and the ruthless years have left traces on his face.

Now, as if in a dream, he has come to this mansion again.

The former residence of the Prime Minister is generally not given to ordinary people. Li Jing felt that an even more important appointment was coming.

After all, going in and out of the phase is the glory that many Shizi dreams of in his life.

The career in front of him seems to be a broad road, and Li Jingdun feels extremely open-minded!
