Lingzhou City Station.

At this moment, this Lingzhou City Post House has been renamed "Wanchun Palace" since Princess Wanchun came to Lingzhou, she has been living in the post house, and has taken this post house as her own, Zhang Xuan has no choice but to follow her.

Because of the sudden war, Tang Fan and his relatives stopped making fun of him, and Wan Chun's mission as a friendly princess naturally came to an end. [

Although Li Heng ordered Wanchun to return to Chang'an immediately, how could Wanchun be willing to leave Lingzhou and leave Zhang Xuan, so he kept delaying the trip and refused to leave Lingzhou.

After Zhang Xuan led the army to return from Tubo and took Tuyuhun's hometown, he returned to Lingzhou and persuaded her several times, asking her to return to Chang'an as soon as possible, but Wanchun just refused.

Wan Chun's meaning is very clear: Anyway, I am already your Zhang Xuan's woman, you have to be responsible for me to the end, and I will marry you.

If you don't give me an explanation this time, and if you don't solve the problem of two people, I just won't leave!

Egging on a little scoundrel. That is, Wanchun can only be like this for a woman like Xìng, if it is another woman, even if she says it in her heart, she will not say it in her mouth, let alone do it, she will always have to be a little reserved.

Zhang Xuan couldn't cry or laugh.

Although the beginning of his relationship with Wan Chun was a misunderstanding and came too suddenly: he was the kind of man who was very responsible, and in any case, since Wan Chun had committed himself to him, of course he would not abandon her.

For Wan Chun, he has other arrangements, but it takes time.

"Dashuai, His Royal Highness Wanchun is here to visit."

The soldiers outside the door reported that Zhang Xuan, who was sitting in the study reading a book, immediately raised his eyebrows and subconsciously smiled bitterly.

A strange and narrow smile appeared on Huā Nu'er's charming face, who was sitting in front of his bookcase, but immediately got up and left Zhang Xuan's study.

Wan Chunfeng broke in in a hurry, and did not bring a shì girl, she looked at Zhang Xuan and said loudly and dissatisfiedly, "I heard that Li Tan, that kid is going to lead the imperial court delegation to Lingzhou, isn't it?" You told Zhang Xuan that you want me to go back to Beijing with Li Tan? ”

"Yes, King Jianning has arrived outside Lingzhou City. I'm getting ready to go out of town to meet you. ”

Zhang Xuan sighed lightly and said, "Wanchun, after all, you are a princess of the imperial court, and you have stayed in Lingzhou for a long time and will not return to Chang'an, how can you let me explain to the prince and the imperial court?" ”

Wan Chun pouted, and said, "It's okay to go back, you have to give me an explanation."

How are you going to solve the problem of the two of us? Hmph, don't think I don't know, you want to marry the princess Su Hudong of the Hui people, since she can marry. Why can't I? ”

"I said, auntie, what do you want me to say to you? Didn't I say that sooner or later you will be allowed to enter Zhang Xuan's door, this is not possible? You must know that you are a princess, the prince's royal sister, and you need a suitable opportunity. Zhang Xuan glanced at Wan Chun a little helplessly.

Wan Chun looked at Zhang Xuan and grinned, "I don't care about the identity of the princess, what are you afraid of... As long as I can marry you, I don't care about my name, and I can have a flat wife. ”

After saying this, Wan Chun suddenly smiled, walked over uncharacteristically and snuggled into Zhang Xuan's arms, and said softly, "Zhang Xuan, it's not that I forced you, it's not that I'm unreasonable, but you have to know, I'm not young, I return to Chang'an this time, the prince will marry me sooner or later, when the time comes, what should we do?" ”

"Don't be embarrassed, it's really not good, I'll learn from Yuzhen Huanggu and wash away Jihua as a monk."

Zhang Xuan uān shook his head, hugged Princess Wanchun, and then pushed her away: "No need to be like this, everything has me!" Okay, don't make a fuss, King Jianning is here on behalf of the imperial court, I have to go out of the city to greet me, otherwise, it will make people criticize me, the governor of Longshuo, who doesn't understand etiquette and doesn't respect the court. ”

"You can go with me, and when King Jianning returns to Chang'an, you will go back with you, and I will return to Chang'an at the end of the year at the latest." Zhang Xuan's face tightened, and he said in a deep voice, "If you don't obey obediently, I will spank your ass at night......"

Wan Chunqiao's face suddenly turned crimson, and she jumped away with a bang, blushing and whispering, "Villain, hooligan,........., big hooligan!" ”

Wan Chun suddenly remembered that on the night when Zhang Xuan's class teacher returned to Lingzhou, when the two of them would linger, Zhang Xuan's embarrassing little movements thought of this, and she suddenly felt hot all over her body, her face was feverish, and even the plump and upturned tún hidden under the long skirt became a little sūsū numb, indescribably strange.

Wan Chun couldn't stay any longer, and ran away with his face hidden.

Zhang Xuan couldn't help laughing, but suddenly couldn't help laughing anymore.

Li Tan and Li Bai, the kings of Jianning, rode on horses, quietly looking up at the wide Lingzhou City Gate not far away, and behind the people was a long line of carriages loaded with gold and silver property, and there were also cavalry escorts from Fugu Huai'en.

Li Tan is not only the grandson of the emperor, but also the royal family, but also the imperial court, representing the imperial court to come to Lingzhou to reward the three armies and announce the Zhao fate of Zhang Xuan and others to be added to the official ranks. Therefore, he had to wait outside the city, waiting for Zhang Xuan to lead everyone to greet him.

After a while, only the loud and desolate sound of military trumpets was heard from the city, and then the thump of the drums was terrifying.

Where the smoke and dust started, Zhang Xuan dressed neatly and led a cadre of civil and military officials in Lingzhou to gallop out, went out of the city gate, turned over and dismounted, and strode towards Li Tanxing.

Zhang Xuan's steps were steady and light, and he had already looked Li Tan up and down a few times during the time he was walking. Although he was Li Heng's assistant at the beginning, and later became Li Heng's biggest help to the court, he really never met Li Heng's ♀ son Li Tan, and it was the first time they met.

Zhang Xuan uān walked a few steps and led everyone to come forward and bow, "Minister Zhang Xuan, it is late to greet His Highness, and I ask His Highness to forgive your sins!" ”

Li Yin's age is actually about the same as Zhang Xuan, but with Zhang Xuan's status at the moment, he has such great military achievements, and at the same time he is also an important auxiliary minister of his father Li Heng, Li Tan did not dare to be big, turned over and dismounted and helped Zhang Xuan up with a smile, and laughed loudly, "Zhang Xuan is polite, Xiao Wang came in a hurry, but he bothered Zhang Xuan and the generals!" ”

Li Tan's attitude was not humble and respectful, which made Zhang Xuan's heart move, and he said in his heart: The history of the book records that Li Heng's third son, Li Tan, is "heroic and talented, xìng gentle and humble" It seems that it is not a lie.

Li Tan waved his hand to Feng Chong, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and others behind Zhang Xuan, and said, "Generals, adults, please get up!" ”

Zhang Xuan and Li Tan were greeting, and suddenly heard a person behind Li Tan come forward and said loudly, "Brother Zizhan, do you still know the old man?" ”

Zhang Xuan was stunned, looked at it, and couldn't help but be taken aback: "Mr. Taibai?!" How did you get here, sir? ”

Li Bai actually came with the imperial court mission, which surprised Zhang Xuan.

Li Bai smiled and stepped forward to greet Zhang Xuan.

Li Tan smiled and said, "Taibai Guangsheng is Xiao Wang's deputy envoy, and we were ordered to lead an envoy to Lingchuan to reward the three armies!" ”

While speaking, I saw another guard of honor at the city gate, which was Wan Chun's car.

Wan Chun put on a brand-new Hufu suit, and before the car could be stable, he jumped out of the car, and beckoned to Li Tan from afar, "Li Tan!" ”

Li Tan glanced at Wan Chun, and a strong smile immediately appeared on his face, he took a few steps forward and saluted Wan Chun, "Li Tan, meet Wan Chun Imperial Aunt!" This time, Longshuo and his party made the imperial aunt feel wronged! ”

Zhang Xuan set up a banquet in his Dadu Governor's Mansion to entertain the court envoys such as Li Tan and Li Bai, the king of Jianning, and the banquet was attended by Princess Wanchun and the envoys of various towns, as well as civil generals under Zhang Xuan.

Li Tan naturally wanted to announce the imperial court's reward first.

"Canonized Feng Chong as the deputy governor of Longshuo, and the commander of the soldiers and horses of the two rivers: canonized Zhang Xun as the governor of Longshuo, Lingwu Taishou and the governor of Longshuo."

Li Tan unfolded the edict and read it aloud.

Feng Chong and Zhang Xun knelt on the ground, thanked him loudly, and said, "Minister, thank you for the grace of the court!" ”

The official ranks of these two people have not changed much, and they have already been mentally prepared, so there is no big surprise. It's just that this edict clearly divides the powers of the two, both of them are Zhang Xuan's right and left hands, but Feng Chong is in charge of the military, and Zhang Xuan is in charge of government affairs.

It can be said that it is a town in Longshuo, and the two most powerful people under Zhang Xuan.

Li Tan smiled, suddenly turned his head and glanced at Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and other generals who were standing there slightly nervous and expectant, raised his voice and said, "Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi listen to the seal!" ”

Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi fell to their knees almost at the same time.

"Canonized Guo Ziyi as the general of Lingwu and the marquis of Dingyuan: canonized Li Guangbi as the governor of Hejiao, the commander of the soldiers and horses of Liangning Prefecture, the Marquis of Anguo and the Taishou of Liangning Prefecture"

Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi were ecstatic, not only were they promoted to their military positions, but they were also made marquis, this is a great honor, and they can be crowned their wives and sons!

The two of them bowed down with tears in their eyes, and thanked them repeatedly.

Li Yin smiled lightly, "The two marquis don't have to be like this, they are meritorious to the country under Zhang Xuan, and it is the right thing to add officials to the knighthood...... Please get up, please get up! ”

Li Tan's unintentional words made Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi suddenly shocked in their hearts, knowing that the two of them seemed to be a little excited, overly out of shape, and even ignored the source of this military exploit, one or two of them hurriedly got up and bowed to Zhang Xuan together: "The last general, thank you for the grace of the marshal!" ”

Zhang Xuan waved his hand with a smile and said, "Congratulations to the two of you." ”

"The last general will not dare." Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi retreated respectfully, and a thin layer of sweat secretly appeared on their foreheads.

"Canonized Xiao Shisanlang as the commander of Zhichong, and Sima of the Dadu Governor's Mansion: canonized Cui Jin as Guo Yibo,

The records of the Dadu Governor's Mansion joined the army: Zhou Xuchu was canonized as the governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and the Shaoyin of the Lingzhou Mansion: Nan Jiyun was canonized as the left guard lieutenant general of the Shence Army, and Lei Wanchun was the lieutenant general of the right guard of the Shence Army: Chen Tong was canonized as the Sima of the Dadu Governor's Mansion and the Lingzhou Don't Drive ......"

Xiao Shisanlang's performance was very calm, and the rank of the official was dispensable for him: while Cui Jin, Zhou Xuchu, Chen Tong and others were slightly embarrassed while rejoicing, in fact, they didn't really participate in the war, they just followed Zhang Xuan to get wet.

Because Fugu Huaien and Gu Xi did not participate in the battle, they did not make meritorious contributions, and they were not within the scope of the imperial court's reward.

The two looked at Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi with some envy, and then cast their eager eyes on Zhang Xuan.

The two believe that as long as they follow Zhang Xuan, sooner or later they will also have immortal feats, and it is a matter of time before they become wives and sons. Especially Gu Xi, who has followed Zhang Xuan from the time of Yulin Wei to the present, has an almost blind worship and awe for Zhang Xuan uān.

"The remaining meritorious soldiers in the army will be reported by the Longshuo Metropolitan Governor's Office, and the imperial court will reward them according to their merits.

Added to the rank of knight. ”

Li Tan finished announcing a series of reward lists, and then looked at Zhang Xuan and smiled respectfully, "Jin named Zhang Xuan as the prince of Pingxi, plus the crown prince Taibao, the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and the Pingzhang of Tongzhongshu, and concurrently served as the governor of Longshuo and the general manager of the Helong marching army, and he has full authority to resist Tubo!" ”

"The household department expands the Pingxi Palace, and makes a meritorious archway. Come, present the golden book and jade book and the crown of the royal robe! ”

As Li Tan shouted loudly, Zhang Xuan got up and bowed.

Although he had long known that Zhang Xuan was going to be crowned king, he saw the scene of Li Tan, the king of Jianning, personally announcing that the imperial court would crown Zhang Xuan as the king of Pingxi, and witnessed this grand moment.

The prince of Pingxi, a series of glorious titles and titles that symbolize a supreme minister, means that Zhang Xuan has truly replaced An Lushan and become the head of the world's feudal towns.

"Minister Zhang Xuan, thank you to the imperial court." Zhang Xuan took the golden book and jade book and the crown belt of the royal robe, and thanked him.

Li Yin smiled and leaned over to help Zhang Xuan up, and said loudly: "From today on, the marshal is the king of Pingxi of the Tang Dynasty, and the king believes that with the king of Pingxi sitting in Longshuo, and the generals swearing to serve their lives, the Tubo thieves will not take a step beyond the thunder pool!" Since then, the border of our Datang Dynasty has been stable. ”

Zhang Xuan Huo Ran got up, hugged his fists in the direction of Chang'an, and said: "The minister must go to the soup for the country's society!" ”

Zhang Xuan sat down, Feng Chong, Zhang Xun, Guo Ziyi, and Li Guangbi led the civil and military subordinates to line up to congratulate and bow, "Xiaguan (the last general) and others congratulate the marshal on being crowned king!" ”

"Congratulations to King Pingxi!" Li Siye and Shi Siming and other envoys from the feudal towns also followed to congratulate.

Zhang Xuan got up slowly, looked around at everyone with blazing eyes, waved his hand in a virtual voice, and said loudly, "Everyone, please get up!" ”

Princess Wanchun sat there looking at Zhang Xuan with shining eyes, secretly rejoicing in her heart∨ Xuan was crowned king, and there was a ray of light for the marriage problems of the two.

With Zhang Xuan's current status and power, if he opens up with the prince's brother. , want to marry me and I am determined to marry him, maybe the prince's brother will be allowed to do so, Chun silently thought about his own thoughts, some relieved and some suffered.

The feast of the Grand Governor's Mansion lasted for more than an hour, until the willow tops of the moon.

At this time, the news that Zhang Xuan was named the king of Pingxi by the imperial court had already left the Dadu Governor's Mansion and spread to the city of Lingzhou and the entire Longshuo region.

After this night, many pedestrians passing by the Dadu Governor's Mansion found that the golden plaque of "Pingxi Wangfu" had been hung in front of the house
