The crowd of onlookers was crowded, and every time the gong and drum team came to the front, the crowd reluctantly got out of the way, making the whole team walk very slowly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After walking half a mile forward, I saw that a teahouse in front of me was full of people, and they all crowded onto the road, crowded together with the people who watched Li Zhi's excitement. A storyteller stood on a platform in a teahouse, standing among more than 100 people, dancing and telling a story. Those who listened to the story were not like ordinary listeners, who were very emotional, and from time to time they waved their fists and applauded, filled with righteous indignation.

Li Zhi curiously asked Lu Jiude, who was walking beside him: "Father-in-law Lu, why are there so many people listening to the story?" What's the story? ”

Lu Jiude laughed and said, "This month, the storyteller in the capital only tells one story, that is, the story of the general who killed all directions and killed the Tartars in Jifu. It's not the Battle of Fanjiazhuang, or the victory at Qingshankou, or the victory at Gaoyang, there's nothing else. ”

Li Zhi smiled, he didn't expect that his battle had become the material for storytellers, and he didn't know if these storytellers knew about the battle, whether it was reliable or not?

After walking more than a dozen steps forward, when they were about to pass the teahouse, those who listened to the story found that the general was coming, and abandoned the storyteller and crowded to the door of the teahouse. Seeing Li Zhi riding a tall horse to the imperial city, those who listened to the story crowded to the side of the street and shouted:

"The Great General is mighty!"

"The general has worked hard to kill the Tartars!"

"The general kills slaves with such majesty!"

Li Zhi smiled and bowed to those people, and then heard a roaring cheer again.

After walking for half a mile, Li Zhi saw a rather large Confucius Temple in front of him, and there was a stage outside the temple, on which more than a dozen people were singing. Four of them were holding black burning sticks as firecrackers, and their mouths snapped and cried. Every time the four of them called out, a dozen people dressed as Tartars on the opposite side fell some. Next to the four firecrackers stood a general in golden armor, standing tall next to the firecrackers, quite imposing.

The outside of the stage was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and as soon as he heard the crackling cry of the firecrackers, he waved his fists and shouted loudly, as if he wanted to go on stage and slash the Tartar on the stage.

Li Zhi secretly said that he hadn't seen this play, it was a newly rehearsed opera, right? Li Zhi asked Lu Jiude: "Father-in-law Lu, what kind of drama is this singing?" And the Musketeers? ”

Lu Jiude flicked his sleeves and said with a smile: "Oh, General, don't you know? This is singing about the great victory of Fanjiazhuang, and it is the play of the general who broke the 30,000 Qing army in Fanjiazhuang! This play just came out last month, and it has the most people who like to watch it, and the stage is full. ”

Li Zhi was stunned, but he didn't expect that his battle had not only become the material for the storyteller, but also had been incorporated into the play. He looked up at the stage again, and saw a man dressed in yellow who played the role of the Son of Heaven walked out of the backstage with a drama dressed as a eunuch, and rewarded himself with a promotion in golden armor. Seeing this scene, those who watched the play were even more excited and applauded louder.

Those people were so focused on watching the play that they didn't notice that Li Zhi was walking by. The gong and drum team was about to pass through the crowd watching the play, and I don't know who shouted: "The general is here!" ”

The people watching the play suddenly turned their heads in unison and stared at Li Zhi who came over on horseback.

Those people looked at Li Zhi for a while, and then called:

"The Great General is here!"

"The Great General is mighty!"

"A great general is a great hero."

In the end, I don't know which one took the lead, and all the fans who watched the play bent down, threw themselves to the ground towards Li Zhi, and bowed down on both sides of the road. Even the actors on the stage stopped acting, and bowed deeply to Li Zhi one by one.

Li Zhi returned the salute to these people and walked through the streets.

After walking for an hour, Li Zhi and hundreds of his subordinates finally walked to Chengtian Gate. There are more people who see the bustle. After the thousand-step corridor, Chengtianmen is considered the gate of the imperial city, and the people are not allowed to enter. The thousand-step corridor was crowded with people inside and outside, and everyone had to see Li Zhi riding into the palace gate.

When they arrived outside the imperial city, the gong and drum team did not dare to make any more noise and stopped beating. Lu Jiude led the eunuchs to lead the way in front, and took Li Zhi, who was on horseback, and Fanjiazhuang military attachés who were on foot, to Chengtianmen.

Li Zhi rode across the Waijinshui Bridge and entered the Chengtian Gate.

When the people saw this, they cheered one after another. There was a thunderous roar of joy for a while, and the cheers could be heard from a long distance.

In these years, the Ming army was cowardly and could not protect the people. The Tartars ravaged Gyeonggi, and only Li Zhi's soldiers and horses could fight the Tartars to protect the people, and the people loved Li Zhi from the bottom of their hearts. If it weren't for Li Zhi, I don't know how many more thousands of people would have been killed by the Tartars, and how many tens of thousands of people would have been plundered by the Tartars to be slaves. The Son of Heaven gave Li Zhi honorable treatment, and the people supported him very much.

Li Zhi rode a big horse, and under the watchful eyes of the guards and pro-soldiers in the imperial city, he led hundreds of officers through the Chengtian Gate and the Noon Gate, and the cheers of the people behind him gradually faded away.

Li Zhi went all the way forward and stopped in front of the Neijinshui Bridge behind the noon gate.

There were already two rows of eunuchs standing on the square in front of the Imperial Palace, standing opposite each other, leaving a road in the middle, as if to welcome Li Zhi.

When Li Zhi's subordinate officers saw the magnificent Imperial Palace, the vast and vast square in front of the palace, and the royal bearing composed of two rows of eunuchs, they all became a little nervous, and their faces turned red with excitement.

Lu Jiude said with a smile: "Our family has brought it here, please invite the general to enter the Imperial Palace to participate in the court meeting!" ”

Li Zhi has come here for the third time, and he is familiar with the road. He dismounted in front of the Neijinshui Bridge and led his officers through the two rows of eunuchs. All the way through the square to the front of the Emperor Palace, I saw the Son of Heaven and the civil and military officials who were already waiting in the main hall.

Li Zhi led Li Xing and other officials above the fourth rank into the Imperial Palace, and shouted on the ground: "The ministers Li Zhi led the generals of Fanjiazhuang to see the saint!" ”

Seeing Li Zhi come in, all the officials in the hall turned slightly and glanced at Li Zhi. This Li Zhi was officially crowned the crown prince and Taibao at such a young age, and he also rode into the palace gate, which is really extremely honorable and jealous. But there is no way, this Li Zhi is too capable of fighting, 10,000 people chased the Tartar to fight, and he blocked the Tartar at the Qingshan Pass and couldn't get out.

The scouts on the front line finally figured out the situation these days, it was Li Zhi who blocked the Tartars in Qingshankou and couldn't get out, so the slave chieftain Taiji came to Qingshankou to save Dolgon. This Li Zhi can be said to have almost driven the Tartar to death.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Li Zhi with satisfaction and shouted, "Aiqing is flat!" ”

Li Zhi led several officers behind him to stand up, and Zhu Youzhen stroked his beard and said with a smile: "As soon as the platform is farewell, Li Qing has made new contributions." The battle of Qingshankou has greatly increased my Ming momentum, which is really enjoyable! ”

Li Zhi arched his hand and said: "The great victory at Qingshankou, although it is the last general's gain, it really depends on the power of the Holy Heaven. If there is no Son of Heaven to strategize and properly arrange, there will be no such victory! ”

Listening to Li Zhi's words, Zhu Youzhen was stunned, and then he laughed out loud, laughing very happily.

Qingshankou passed the victory again, and the civil and military officials of the entire Ming Dynasty were deeply excited. Li Zhi attributed the credit of strategizing to the Son of Heaven, and he also had to increase a lot of authority for the Son of Heaven! At this time, the hundred officials standing on both sides saw this atmosphere, and they all held tooth cards and sang: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled and looked at the officials who congratulated him and waved his hand.

He said to Li Zhi again: "Li Zhi, you have a lot of credit. I want a reward! I entered the country of the right pillar, and posthumously presented my father Li to become a doctor of Ronglu, the governor of the left army, and the governor of the left army! Feng Er's mother Zheng is the wife of the first product, and Feng Er's wife Cui is the wife of the first product. Yin'er's son is a thousand households in brocade clothes. ”

This time the rewards of the Son of Heaven are all honors and other rewards.

Hearing the reward of Mrs. Decree, Li Zhi secretly said that it is okay now, Cui He's Lady Decree is in hand, and there is no need to ask the Son of Heaven anymore. (To be continued.) )
