Zhang Xuan stared at Li Heng and everyone slightly, his expression was solemn, his battle skirt was lifted, he knelt on one knee at Li Heng and bowed to the ground, and said loudly: "Minister Zhang Xuan, I was recalled to Beijing to report on my work and meet His Highness."

His Royal Highness and all the lords came out to greet him, and the ministers were terrified! ”

Zhang Xuan's eyes were clear and clear.

Li Heng looked at Zhang Xuan, and when the two met their eyes, they each read what they wanted from each other's eyes.

Li Heng's heart was hot, knowing that Zhang Xuan was a minister in public this time and resolutely bowed, which was nothing more than a formal statement of attitude. He is still the auxiliary minister Zhang Xuan who entered the East Palace to help him emerge in the past, and he will not change anything because of his great military exploits and the worship of the king.

Li Heng pursed his lips, stepped forward and leaned over to help Zhang Xuan with both hands, and said eagerly, "King Yongning is a pillar of the court and a meritorious minister, and the palace led all the ministers out of the city to greet him, as it should be!"

Come, Zizhan, please get up! ”

Li Heng helped Zhang Xuan up, the two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

Li Heng held Zhang Xuan's hand, and the two of them walked to the city together, calling "Zizhan Zizhan" one by one, with an extremely intimate attitude.

Yang Guozhong and Chen Xian, the two old foxes, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, they did have some Zhang Xuan now has world-class meritorious service and royal military power, will they become arrogant and not take Li Heng in their eyes, so the relationship between the two will deteriorate further: but I didn't think that Zhang Xuan showed his attitude when he saw Li Heng for the first time, without any drag.

Chen Xian secretly admired in his heart while walking, "Sure enough, he is a young hero, he has his own fortune in his chest, and it is not without reason that Qingyun has ambition." This courage and bearing alone, the decisiveness that is immediately decisive, is very unattainable! ”

But Zhang Jiyong, Chen Xuanli and others looked at each other a little, feeling very depressed, as if they had eaten.

They have gradually stood on the opposite side of Zhang Xuan, almost salty and hot, but the lord of their allegiance has relied on Zhang Xuan as a confidant, isn't this a big joke?

"Zizhan, how is the situation in Qinghai? The army of the court has taken so much land from the Tubo people, will the Tubo people be unwilling to fight back again? Li Heng asked casually, still holding Zhang Xuan's hand.

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, "Your Highness, the minister has already made arrangements." After several battles, the Tubo people were defeated by Lian Xiang, losing their troops and losing their national strength. Moreover, at present, there is civil strife in Tibet, and the new king of Tibet, Stanley, is unable to take care of Qinghai at all. Of course, even if the Tubo people counterattacked Qinghai, the minister was well prepared. ”

Half of the soldiers and horses of Longshuo were nearly 60,000 soldiers in Qinghai and Liangning Prefecture, and they were deployed in the entire Tuyuhun hometown, Li Guangbi guarded Wuhai, Guo Ziyi temporarily guarded the triangle city, Fugu Huaien guarded Dulan, Zhang Tong guarded the Shaliu River, and Gu Xi sat in the hinterland of Liangning Prefecture. Our soldiers and soldiers are fighting together, if the Tubo people dare to attack again, they will definitely have no return! ”

"Good, good!" Li Heng was in a good mood and said several "good" words in a row.

Zhang Xuan continued with a smile, "Your Highness, to defend this land for thousands of miles, first, you must guard it with heavy troops, and second, you must immigrate to open up wasteland and establish towns to govern it. And this requires a lot of manpower, material resources, and food and grass are rampant. The minister has mobilized the strength of the whole town of Longshuo to support the defense of Tuntian in Qinghai and Liangning Prefecture. However, the power of Longshuo is limited after all, and I also ask His Royal Highness to be gracious and transfer Hexi, Anxi and Fanyang to support Longshuo. "Your Highness, the entire Tuyuhun Ancient Pond is rich in water and grass, the land is fertile, and the tuntian is enough to feed millions of soldiers and civilians. If the business is good, not only will there be no hidden danger of the Tubo people violating the border of the Tang Dynasty, but it will also greatly enhance the national strength of our Tang Dynasty.

Li Heng smiled loudly, "Zizhan, these palaces have already thought of it. The palace has summoned Geshuhan in Hexi, Yang Ju in Anxi, and An Lushan in Fanyang to each allocate grain and grass to be delivered to Longshuo. Moreover, the palace also has insufficient troops, so you ordered Yang Jue and Ge Shuhan to transfer 10,000 troops into Qinghai and accept the control of the Longshuo Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. ”

Zhang Xuan was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Highness, this is really a charcoal in the snow......"

The two of them held hands, almost side by side, and walked into the city.

Both sides of the road were overcrowded, whether it was the Yulin guards who maintained order and were heavily guarded, or the noisy crowd of businessmen surnamed Bailu who joined in the excitement, they all looked at Zhang Li with great envy, what kind of honor should it be to be treated so well by the prince of the imperial court and the future emperor?

After traveling a distance of about dozens of meters, Zhang Zhen gently broke free of Li Heng's hand, bowed down and hugged his fists, "Please Your Highness first!" ”

Li Heng nodded, laughed, and no longer insisted, and strode forward until he stopped in front of the chariot guard on the side of the Kaiyuan Gate.

"Zizhan, you just arrived in Beijing, this palace will give you a holiday for an hour, and let you go back to the house to rest and wash your clothes...... This palace will set up a banquet for you in the Tongming Hall of Xingqing Palace to wash the dust and celebrate your achievements! ”

Li Heng boarded the chariot with the support of the eunuch, but stretched out his head and beckoned to Zhang Xuan, and said loudly.

Zhang Xuan hugged his fists as a salute, "The minister avoids the decree!" ”

Li Heng laughed loudly, and the laughter was very pleasant.

The curtain of the chariot was lowered, and a eunuch's shrill voice sounded, "His Royal Highness the Prince of the Prison Kingdom is back to the palace!" Let's go! Looking at Li Heng's chauffeur and slowly walking away, Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and turned around to greet Yang Guozhong, Chen Xian and other courtiers again.

Yang Guozhong walked over and patted Zhang Li's shoulder, smiled meaningfully, and squinted at the swollen eyes, "Zizhan, it's good for you to come back, it's good to come back!" Okay, I'm in the palace, we'll see you in the palace later! ”

"Yang Xiang walks slowly." The corners of Zhang Xuan's mouth twitched, and he hugged his fists.

Chen Xian smiled and nodded to Zhang Xuan, "King Yongning, the old man will wait in the palace first, His Royal Highness will set up a banquet, and invite King Yongning to come early!" ”

"There is Lao Chenxiang!" Zhang Xuan arched his hand, but said softly, "Chen Tong also returned to Beijing with me this time, and he has already returned to his home first." ”

Chen Xian's eyes lit up, and he didn't say anything anymore, and turned to leave.

His previous initiative and consistent support have finally been richly rewarded. His eldest grandson Chen Tong followed the army in Longshuo, and joined the army as a record in Zhang Xuan's Dadu Governor's Mansion.

Chen Tongben did not really join the army, and his inclusion in the list of heroes was undoubtedly deliberately done by Zhang Xuan for Chen Xian's sake. Chen Xian, of course, knows this.

Yang Lian, the general of Yulinwei's right guard, walked over and respectfully clasped his fists and saluted, "Lord Wang, Yang Lian is polite!" ”

"General Yang, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm?"

Zhang Xuan smiled and patted Yang Lian's shoulder affectionately.

"Everything will be fine at the end, the prince will be worried□ the lord will go back to the house to rest first, and the end will wait for the prince in the palace, and he will drink with the prince today without getting drunk and not returning!"

Zhang Xuan patiently greeted some familiar court officials one by one, but out of the corner of his eye, he found that Zhang Jiyong and Chen Xuanli hurriedly walked past him with more than a dozen civil and military officials, and each got on the horse and boarded the car and drove away.

Yang Lian glanced at the backs of Zhang Jiyong, Chen Xuanli and others, stood beside Zhang Xuan and said in a low voice, "Lord Wang, these people have been very restless recently...... Please also prepare early! ”

Yang Lian originally wanted to give Zhang Xuan a wake-up call, and talk about the recent efforts of Zhang Jiyong, Chen Xuanli and others to frame the trap and Li Tengkong being taken down by the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, but there were many people, so he hesitated for a moment and kept silent.

Zhang Xuan glanced at Yang Lian, and said with an indifferent smile, "General Yang, this king will go back to the house first, let's come to Japan for a long time, and see you later!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

Dozens of guards hurriedly bridged the horses over, Zhang Xuan turned over and dismounted, beat the horse and whipped it, and under the escort of a thousand fierce soldiers, he drove away in the direction of Yongning Palace.

Yang Lian looked at Zhang Xuan's distant back, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. At this moment, he really couldn't imagine what kind of reaction Zhang Xuan's powerful style and current position of power would he have if he knew that his little lady had been arrested by the people of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen?

Among these powerful and noble courtiers in Jinglu City, Yang Lian once followed Zhang Xuan's rebellion to listen to his subordinates, and knew Zhang Xuan's sexual temperament and methods∨ Xuan Xuan might be able to tolerate Zhang Jiyong and Chen Xuanli's small actions behind his back, and it didn't matter if he participated in the impeachment or anything: but Zhang Xuan would never tolerate someone acting as a bully on his head. "Zhang Jiyong, Zhang Jiyong, you are playing with fire and burning yourself...... provoked this evil star, even if the Zhang family is a relative of the emperor, there is absolutely no good fruit to eat! Yang Lian secretly sneered in his heart, threw off the sleeves of his robe, got on the horse and left.

In front of the palace gate, Zhang Jiyong and Chen Xuanli got out of the car and walked side by side.

"Lord Zhang, this person arrived in Beijing, His Royal Highness's attitude towards him is very close, it seems that I have been participating in the impeachment for several days, and His Royal Highness is simply not moving at all......" Chen Xuanli sighed lightly, and there was a slight gloom in his eyes.

"There is a saying that the merit is high and the master is shaken, and there is also a saying that the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks! His Royal Highness is now about to ascend the throne, and he will naturally be supported and persuaded by Zhang Xuan. Zhang Jiyong sneered lightly, "However, after His Royal Highness ascends the throne as emperor, will he still be able to tolerate Zhang Xuan in time?" An Lushan thieves are suffering from heavy problems and are difficult to return, which is a lesson from the past, and His Royal Highness will not fail to understand.

"So, I don't have to wait. Sooner or later, His Royal Highness will attack Zhang Xuan. The military power of the four towns, the king and the lord, the grace has reached the peak, but the extreme of things will be reversed, Zhang Xuan's arrogance today will sooner or later cause His Royal Highness to be jealous, Zhang believes that this day will not be too far away! ”

The corners of Chen Xuanli's mouth flushed inadvertently, although he nodded yes, he was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Jiyong's words in his heart.

In fact, it is still unknown what the relationship between Li Heng and Zhang Xuan's monarchs and ministers will be in the future: but for now, they are aggressive and bent on making enemies with Zhang Xuan, if Zhang Xuan fights back, how should they deal with it?

Especially Zhang Jiyong and Zhang Jia...... Unexpectedly...... Chen Xuanli suddenly remembered that Zhang Xuan's little lady Li Tengkong, who was still detained in the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, couldn't help frowning and said, "Lord Zhang, please forgive Xuanli for speaking out." It is better to properly deal with Li Tengkong's matter as soon as possible, in case of a face-to-face conflict with Zhang Xuan, it will be unbeautiful because of a small loss. ”
