Chapter 271: Li Jing returns to Beijing
"Drive!"
"Drive!"
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it has been March 9th, Su Bai also joined Li Jing yesterday, and the two have not seen each other for more than a month, so it is inevitable to sigh when they meet again. Li Keshi's family also knew about his death on the battlefield, and Yu came with Su Bai all the way yesterday and took away Li Keshi's bones!
Jieli Khan is also like a walking corpse, if you give him something, he will eat, if you give him water, he will drink, if you don't give it to him, he doesn't want it, he looks a little out of his mind.
Everyone, up to the general and captain, down to the guy and farmer, all hold their heads high!
When they went out on the expedition before, they pinned their heads in the waistband of their trousers, and no one knew what the future would be like, nor how much suffering awaited them! No one is sure if they will come back alive or if they will be able to win!
And now, they won! Jieli Khan was captured alive by them and returned to the Tang Dynasty! They are the ultimate victors, and they have the right to be proud! This is worthy of their bragging about a lifetime of achievements, and when they are old, they will not be able to go, and when their children and grandchildren surround their knees, they can also touch their little heads and say, "At the beginning, your grandfather was also a person who went to the battlefield, have you heard of the Turks?" That's what we did! ”
Chang'an is now also very lively, even on the usual lively streets, now there is no one to see, the people have spontaneously walked out of Chang'an, standing along the road, looking forward to it! They also received the news and knew that Li Jing would be back today!
Li Shimin also came to a small hillside ten miles away from Chang'an early in the morning and waited, before this small hillside was unknown, but after today, it will have an additional name, "Victory Slope"!
There is a small pavilion on the top of the victory slope, and the three big characters of the victory pavilion are written on it! This is Li Shimin's own handwriting, which was specially built to celebrate Li Jing's return! The civil and military officials, all standing on the Desheng slope, let the cold mountain wind blow the corners of their clothes, but no one moved, they were all waiting for Li Jing, wanting to witness this picture that can go down in history!
As for the bottom of the mountain, the water that has been surrounded by the people has long been impassable, and if it weren't for the forbidden army to stop it, I'm afraid there would be no road for people to pass through. As for the victory pavilion, there are only less than ten people, Li Shimin naturally needless to say, the first is Li Chengqian, who lives on crutches, and down is Li Tai, the king of Wei! Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other civil officials were also there, they were obviously in a good mood, and they were all talking and laughing.
Li Tai, the king of Wei, wants to blend into their topic, but this group of people is not a human spirit? They didn't want to get involved in the party struggle between the King of Wei and the crown prince. King Wei also felt their attitude towards him, although it was not cold, but it was definitely not enthusiastic.
Li Chengqian has been looking at his younger brother with a smile, since Su Bai came back, his mentality has calmed down a lot, and now seeing that Li Tai is trying to win over the minister in front of him, he doesn't have any ideas, if he has to have a little idea, he is a bit like laughing!
Yes, just want to laugh!
I couldn't help but think of what Su Bai said to him in the East Palace before: "Your Highness, now is the best time to test people's hearts, if you can be bought away, we won't be at ease when we use it, and now, it is an excellent time for us to know who can use it and who can't!" As for those wall grasses, we don't need to fight for them, we just need to become stronger, and they will naturally cling to them! As for those who are bought by interests, hehe"
He still remembered that when Su Bai said this, his words were somewhat sarcastic, and then he heard Su Bai continue, "It won't be long before they will know, who is it with?" in order to give them the greatest benefit! ”
Even today, Li Chengqian still can't forget the confidence on Su Bai's face that day! Maybe it's because Su Bai is always so confident that he believes in him so much! It seems that Su Bai is like a needle that fixes the sea, no matter how violent the storm is, as long as he is there, he can't make a wave!
So now Li Chengqian is watching Li Tai win over the minister, not only did he not stop it, but he felt a little funny!
If he is really a good father, he should actually admonish Li Tai now, and then tell him that the prince is the prince, and the king of the county is the king of the county!
Yes, the current Lee Tae is not even a prince anymore!
This can also see Li Shimin's love for Li Tai, even if he is demoted to the king of the county, on such an important occasion, Li Shimin still brought him with him! What will this make the officials of the court think? What do you think?
Does Li Shimin still feel that Li Tai should be the prince in his heart? It is inevitable that they will have this kind of thought, who made Li Chengqian a cripple now?
Among the hundred officials in the imperial court, Wei Zheng's reaction was the most intense, directly reprimanding the emperor, saying that Li Tai was still in confinement, how could he be released so easily? And even more so on such an important occasion! also made Li Shimin a little unable to get off the stage, and even made Li Tai secretly hate Wei Zhengji.
Similarly, Li Chengqian also kept Wei Zheng in his heart, Wei Zheng, looking at it now, is on his side!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The ministers were still talking and laughing, when they heard a real voice in the distance, and their laughter became smaller and smaller, and then they saw an extra black line on the horizon! It's slowly coming in their direction.
"Your Majesty! It is the banner of the Patriotic Princess! Wei Guogong is back! ”
On Li Chengqian's side, Fang Xuanling said excitedly, Li Shimin also laughed, and waved his big hand and said, "Play music!" Get ready for the victorious return of the Guardian Prince! ”
The Son of Heaven went out of the city for ten miles to greet him, and the necessary honor guards were naturally not less, especially at this important moment, just the complete music fang team brought four groups! At that moment, the entire Desheng Slope sounded with a burst of fairy sound!
Although the people below the slope could not see the army in the distance, they could also hear the rumbling sound, and now the music sounded on the Desheng slope, they understood that it must be Wei Guogong who had returned!
At present, the people are also boiling, chattering and discussing, the people are holding small baskets in their hands at this time, and the petals cut out of red paper are contained in the baskets, after all, it is only March, except for large households, who can have flowers?
Even if it's this red paper, not everyone is willing to buy it.
After another quarter of an hour, the people finally saw the return of the army!
"Datang Wansheng!"
"Datang Wansheng!"
All the people were boiling and excited, and they did not care at all about their strength and screamed loudly, and the sound completely covered the ceremonial music on the slope! Even the sound of horses' hooves in the movement of the army is completely inaudible at this moment!
Su Bai was taken aback by the enthusiasm of the people of Chang'an, although he had been prepared before, he didn't expect the people to be so enthusiastic, it was exactly the same as the expression of the brainless fans of later generations when they saw the idol!
Yes, the front of the army is Su Bai's Ghost King Army! The people who came to the front were Su Bai and Li Jing!
As for Li Jing, it was on Su Bai's side, and Jieli Khan was sitting in a prisoner car, right next to Li Jing!
Listening to the cheers of the people, the ghost king army also forcibly suppressed their excitement, they were afraid that if they were impulsive, they would wave their hands to the people, which would damage the prestige of the Tang Dynasty!
Su Bai rode a war horse and walked in the front, the mask was lifted, leaking out the small square face, I don't know if the square face is easy to give people a sense of loyalty and honesty, when the people saw Su Bai, the cheers were enthusiastic!
It's no wonder that Su Bai is now stepping on a snow beast with four hooves under his crotch, wearing a pitch-black ghost king armor, phoenix wings and gilding in his hand, and he is dignified! Now that the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is open, the people who go out of the city to greet them are not only men, but also many young women's dependents.
Su Bai also has a bit of a juvenile heart after all, and at this moment, he saw the people shouting frantically, shouting Datang Wansheng in his mouth! Su Bai's heart was about to beat for two points, and he said in his heart, this is the favorite feeling of the general!
He didn't pay attention now, his reputation value is rising wildly at the moment, fifty thousand! Sixty thousand! It's heading for the 70,000 mark!
Compared with Li Jing and Su Bai, he was much calmer, just like an old monk entering the meditation, and the excited shouts of the people did not affect him at all. Just staring ahead without squinting, riding a horse slowly.
As for Jieli Khan in the prisoner car on the side, he has already burst into tears now, becoming a king and defeating a king, and now he only hates why he made the wrong choice in the first place, and also hates why he didn't commit suicide in the first place! Then you can at least have a good name!
If this kind of thinking is known to Li Jing, Li Jing is afraid that he will mock, "It's not too late to die now!" ”
Just when Su Bai and the others walked among the people, the people took out red paper flowers in small baskets and threw them desperately! It just so happened that a breeze blew, and red paper flowers flew all over the sky! For a while, it was like a dream!
Su Bai took a deep breath, everything around him seemed to be a little unreal, this scene, this feeling! It's really more exciting than letting him go to the battlefield to fight! In the 'petals' all the way, Li Jing and Su Bai finally came to the bottom of the victory slope!
The army also stopped, and Su Bai and Li Jing turned over and dismounted! Opening Jieli Khan's cage, Su Bai reached out and grabbed the iron chain that bound Jieli Khan, and pulled him to walk up the hillside. After a while, Chai Shao, Li Daozong and others behind him will also come.
Today is because Su Baisheng captured Jieli Khan, and he wanted to give it to Li Shimin first, and Li Jing was the commander of the army! This is what allows the two of them to be at the forefront!
The hillside is densely packed with forbidden troops, and there is one person in a position that does not need to be three steps!
Immediately followed by the hundred officials of the imperial court, at this moment, no matter what official position the person is, after seeing Su Bai and Li Jing, they all bent down and saluted! This gift has nothing to do with identity, just to honor their merits!
Even Cheng Biting Jin and Qin Qiong bent their backs!
"Minister, Li Jing, see my emperor!"
"Minister, Wang Chouniu, see my emperor!"
Li Jing and Su Bai came to the pavilion, and the first moment they saw Li Shimin, they knelt on one knee at the same time and saluted.
Li Shimin laughed twice, walked quickly to Li Jing's side and helped Li Jing up, after looking up and down, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked like he was about to cry and said, "You've worked hard these days, you see, this hair is a lot whiter."
Su Bai secretly slandered, this old drama spirit!
Immediately, Li Shimin's eyes fell on Su Bai's body, and Su Bai hurriedly pretended to be as if he had just seen Li Shimin. Seeing that Li Shimin didn't even change his routine, he came over to help Su Bai and said, "Wenqu, I haven't seen you these days, you have lost a lot of weight, I heard that you captured Jieli Khan alive?" ”
Su Baixin said, isn't this right next to you, don't you see it?
But he said, "Back to Your Majesty, exactly!" After speaking, he directly pulled up the dirty and unseemly Jieli Khan around him and said, "Your Majesty! This is Jieli Khan! ”
Li Shimin seemed to have just discovered it at this time, he sighed twice, he didn't even care about the dirty, he reached out and grabbed Jieli Khan's hands and said, "You and I haven't seen each other for three or four years, why are you like this?" ”
When Jieli Khan heard this, he knelt on the ground and cried, not knowing whether he was angry or ashamed.
Li Shimin didn't care, he thought he was sincerely repentant, as if he was afraid that the people below would not hear clearly, and deliberately said loudly, "I know that you sincerely repent, since you have the heart to belong to my Tang Dynasty, I naturally can't hurt you!" From today onwards, I will make you the general of the right guard! As for your future life, don't worry, I will eat the gold and silver of your field! Let you have no worries about food and clothing! ”
When Jieli Khan heard this, he knelt on the ground and shouted, "My emperor is broad-minded, he is really a Ming monarch, and he is convinced!" It is unknown how much sincerity there is in this sentence, and after learning that he doesn't have to die, Jieli Khan is also a little happy.
When the hundred officials heard this, they couldn't help but kneel down in unison and shouted, "My emperor Shengming!" ”
Li Shimin laughed, that's called a smug! The person who forced him to sign the Weishui Alliance at the beginning is now kneeling at his feet and letting himself kneel and pinch it flat! Is there anything more gratifying than that?
While a few people were talking, Chai Shao, Li Daozong, Li and others also came to the slope, and Li Shimin naturally couldn't help but praise them! After the praise, let them each lead 2,000 people back to Chang'an to accept the reward, if there are too many people, the streets of Chang'an can't fit ah, there are 100,000 troops behind them!
This is also Li Shimin taking care of Su Bai, the number of the Ghost King Army is not much, not less, exactly two thousand!
Everyone knows what will happen after returning to Chang'an, reward! A smile leaked from the faces of everyone who went out, but among the hundreds of officials, there were many people with complicated faces, and many of them began to communicate secretly, and their eyes glanced at Li Shimin's side from time to time, and there, standing was, Su Bai!
The game between the family and Hanmen and Li Shimin is about to kick off, and Su Bai, a chess piece, has officially joined the chess game at this moment!
