Chapter 653: The scorching sun is like a fire
In the six years of the Northwest, one to appease Tuyuhun and the other to fight against Tubo, Qi He Li was full of wind and frost, and he was a veteran. Even the dozens of personal soldiers behind him are also with the unique fierceness of the Northwest people, whether they are riding horses or walking, they have a bit of iron hooves and the atmosphere of the battlefield. As soon as such a group of people arrived at the Dingding Gate in Luoyang, they immediately attracted the attention of many people, and the guard squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, and immediately shouted a few times at the city gate hut.
Qi Heli felt a little inexplicable at this strange scene, and when he saw a pair of young men and women emerging from the hut, he suddenly realized, and immediately laughed and dismounted. At first, he just accepted a righteous daughter by mistake, but his wife, the lord of Lintao County, frequently wrote to say the benefits of this righteous daughter and son-in-law, how could he not care?
"Daddy!"
Although she was already married, Ah Li did not change her temper at all, and pulled Xue Dingshan forward with a smile and a shout, and pushed her husband up. Because Qi He Li couldn't come back when he got married, and he didn't go home because of the tense war there, Xue Dingshan saw his father-in-law for the first time after marriage, and he was nervous.
"Meet Master Yue!"
Qi He Li smiled and helped up this cheap son-in-law, and he was indescribably proud in his heart. Although he has no shortage of children and several biological daughters are not badly married, he has an indescribable liking for Xue Dingshan, a stunned boy. patted his son-in-law on the shoulder and asked a few words, and learned that his grandson was now one year old, and the smile on his face was even brighter. When he heard that Ah Li was pregnant again now, his face immediately froze there, and the next moment he roared at Xue Dingshan.
"Dead boy, Ah Li is pregnant, you still dare to take her out and run around, what if something happens!"
As soon as this old deed became angry, the soldiers behind him were dumbfounded. On weekdays, I see how neatly this general governs the army, how unsmiling, but today I have seen the appearance of this distressed girl for the first time. Among these people are old generals. There are also newcomers who only follow from the northwest, and they rarely have to inform each other. When they knew that Ah Li was just the boss's daughter-in-law and the joints in it, many people had more fervent hopes.
In this way, the coach is going to reuse it again when he returns to Luoyang this time?
Xue Dingshan was originally wooden, and he was so glared at by Qi He Li that he almost lost his direction. I don't know how to parry. When he was playing the drums in his heart over there, a voice finally came out of the side: "Old Deed." As soon as he came back, he scolded his son-in-law, which is really the style of an old father-in-law! You don't know what kind of temper Ah Li has, can Xiao Xue beat her? ”
Qi He Li heard the prestige, and saw that it was Li Xian, who was stunned for a moment. As for Xue Dingshan, it was even more strange, Li Xian hadn't said anything when he asked for leave yesterday, why did he suddenly slip over today, and then looked at Cheng Bohu and Li Jingye, who were standing against the wall and smiling like a flower, he suddenly woke up---- he didn't know if he dared to love!
It is really unreasonable for such a group of people to be gathered at the gate of the city, especially the main road in and out of Luoyang, such as Dingding Gate. Li Xian smiled and glanced at Xue Dingshan. He and Qi He Li went to Tianjie together, and introduced the general situation of Luoyang City all the way, and finally said the latest appointment that was basically finalized.
"In charge of the Right Feather Forest?"
Others would rejoice if they were given such an appointment, but not so much. He was originally a general, and he has been in the northwest for so many years, not to mention the merits, but also countless hard work. So it's not so much about wanting to get promoted. It's better to say that you want to take a good break for a few years. Yu Linjun is notoriously thankless at work, so why did he take over?
Although he and Li Xian were comrades-in-arms in the same trench at the beginning. But after so many years of absence, and now that the other party's identity is the prince, Qi He Li inevitably weighs every word when he speaks: "Your Royal Highness's beloved ministers are terrified......"
"Stop!" Without waiting for Qi He Li to finish speaking, Li Xian cut off the words angrily, "First of all." It's not my love. It was suggested by the four prime ministers of the political hall in Luoyang today, and I am just here to inform you. Second. Your Majesty has already agreed, and the Emperor Taishang should have no other opinions, and this has nothing to do with me. In all fairness, I think you should have a good rest for a while, but others won't let me, and I can't help it. ”
Li Xian kept leaving himself clean, and Qi He Li was speechless. In desperation, he had to turn his head to look at Xue Dingshan, and couldn't help but feel angry when he saw this kid's wooden face, so he had to glance at Li Jingye and Cheng Bohu next to him. The latter pretended not to see it, but the former did not pretend to be dumb.
"According to the old general's previous exploits, it is really not suitable for the right Yulin, but several ministers are very in favor of this matter, and the Empress Taishang and His Majesty both think that the Yulin Army needs the old general, so there is this appointment. Nowadays, there are too many things inside and outside here, and only people like the old general can calm the scene. ”
Speaking of which, Qi Heli suddenly became dumbfounded. Although Datang encourages officials to retire according to their age, the older the official, the more difficult it is to retire, let alone him? After Li Ji's death, according to his qualifications, he does seem to be the oldest among the seniors, and he is not ranked as the third prince like Li Ji, so there is no way to retreat.
The majestic Lao Qi general on the battlefield, under Li Xian's "earnest" gaze, nodded helplessly. He is not blind or deaf, just some gossip he heard on the road is not enough for him to make a judgment, but today's posture of Li Xian has already shown that people have full right to speak on this matter alone.
Luoyang Palace is still the pattern of the past, but the Zhenguan Hall where the emperor lived in the past has become the residence of the emperor. Although his achievements, a veteran who had just returned, were not immediately received. However, as soon as he returned home, several former colleagues who were working in the DPRK and China met with him. After seeing the guest, his heart was even worse.
The military generals don't talk about state affairs, and Datang originally didn't have this rule, but the military attachés really didn't have a good end for interfering in politics, so Qi Heli didn't want to get involved in this troubled water. Of course, he absolutely did not support Li Zhi's sudden abdication, but it was already a fait accompli, and he didn't want to be moved by rumors, and then cause any trouble.
Therefore, when he met the Son of Heaven three days later, he originally planned to keep silent in line with the principle of saying more and making more mistakes, but who knew that Li Hong did not talk eloquently at all. After showing his condolences and appreciation for the old general's hard work, he didn't even explain the latest appointment, so he ordered the chamberlain to take people to see Li Zhi.
He has heard a lot of rumors, if he is really a strong man in the prime of life, he may be ready to be ambitious and deterred, but now there is no need for that!
When the people left, only himself and a few henchmen were left, Li Hong couldn't help muttering: "My father is old, just like an old child, he can do whatever he wants!" When the sky falls, there are also highlanders on top, and the sixth brother seems to say so! What I want most now is to have more children and grandchildren, and who can fulfill my wish? ”
Li Zhi, who was said by Li Hong to be old, is only forty-six years old this year, but on the surface, he is at least one round older than the martial arts queen who is over fifty years old. This is still because of the fact that he has been recuperating in Luoyang Palace for more than a year, if it were not for this, Emperor Li, who had suffered from wind and dizziness for many years, was only afraid that he would look even older. It was precisely because of this that when he saw Qi Heli, who was older than himself, his eyes were moist for a moment.
"The old general has really worked hard!" At this moment, Li Zhi's rich feelings overwhelmed all political considerations at once, and he didn't care about any monarchs and ministers, so he grabbed Qi Heli's hand, "If you weren't willing to succumb to the deputy marshal that day, there would be no warlike people of Liulang." If you hadn't stayed in the northwest that day, Tuyuhun would have perished long ago. Tubo has not been able to enter the east and go out for many years, thanks to the ability of General Lao Qi! ”
As the saying goes, a scholar dies for a confidant, and Qi He Li rose in the Taizong era, but it was after Li Zhi ascended the throne that he climbed to the top. Seeing Emperor Li so emotional this time, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and thanked him in every possible way---- although he had been integrated into the Tang Dynasty for many years, he would not pretend to pretend to resign for this kind of rhetoric that was not exaggerated.
That's his feat, it's the praise he deserves, and he didn't take half a point!
The monarch and the ministers were in tears in each other's eyes, and their feelings for each other immediately deepened. After all, in a sense, the two sides are still in-laws, and the lord of Lintao County is really Li Zhi's cousin. Li Zhi didn't explain much about this official matter, after all, this is a candidate recommended by the prime ministers of the political affairs hall, and his decision is only two words, and he has no need to veto.
Yu Lin Jun is in the hands of such a selfish person, he should be relieved.
Coming out of the Zhenguan Palace, Qi He Li originally wanted to go back to the house directly, but who knew that when he walked halfway up, suddenly a waiter caught up panting, and said with a smile on his face that it was the Queen Taishang. Seeing the silk satin, jewelry, jade and other things held by more than a dozen people, he who had never worried about money in his life suddenly became two big.
Damn, if he knew this, he might as well not come back in the northwest, so as to save himself from this kind of messy trouble! Didn't they all say that the new and old teams of Datang had a tacit understanding with each other, why didn't what he saw when he came back be like that?
If Li Xian was here, he would definitely remind him bitterly that people will be suspicious when they get old, let alone the emperor who once hung the arch of Jiuchen? Is it that everyone has a sense of loss, not to mention the former Emperor Li who prides himself on being a wise god and martial arts who directly chased Taizong?
In Luoyang in June, the scorching sun is really roasting like a fire, which can roast people.
