In the early morning, Chang'an is still quiet, the lights of the entertainment city have gradually gone out in the second half of the night, and only this dawn and sunrise is the most quiet time in Chang'an.

When people are still asleep, enjoying a rare rest and sweetness, the gate of Chang'an was opened one by one, and a cavalry team was like a sharp arrow, quickly stabbing into Chang'an Zhuque Street, the conspicuous banner, piercing open the city gates, clear and rapid horses' hooves, woke up one after another people in their dreams.

"Eight hundred miles urgent, Lingnan urgent!"

……

The long trumpet, accompanied by the loud sound of horses' hooves, began at the gate of the city and came far, far away, and even could be faintly heard inside the imperial palace in the north of the city.

galloped all the way, until the cavalry rushed to the palace gate, stood outside the palace gate, and showed the banner in the hands of the leading general, shouting: "Eight hundred miles urgent, the major affairs of the country, Lingnan Yue Guo Gong urgently report to Your Majesty." ”

The general of the guard at the gate of the palace personally greeted him, beckoned the messenger team to enter for a while, and had already gone to report to His Majesty, after all, His Majesty had not yet gotten up at this time.

The inner chamberlain Gao hurriedly ran into the harem palace, at this time His Majesty Li Er was already in a hurry to change clothes, there was no other noisy Chang'an City, and the sound of the palace gate inside had clearly entered the harem.

Hearing that it was an urgent report from Lingnan and a major event of the country, Li Er was shocked, and hurriedly got up to bring someone over, and then he was happy, as if he remembered something, but he was not in a hurry to see someone, but changed his clothes and dressed up first.

"Your Majesty, Lingnan 800 miles to hurry to ......"

"I know, go and send someone to see if the Emperor Taishang is in the palace, if so, please come and meet the Lingnan messenger with me." Li Er said with a smile.

"This ......

Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang was not in the palace, and he lived in the entertainment city courtyard and did not come back.

Lingnan 800 miles of urgency must be an urgent matter, why does Your Majesty ......" Lao Gao said this, and quickly covered his mouth, knowing that he had lost his words, as an internal servant, he could not have his own thoughts, let alone question the Lord, and it was even more taboo to ask this kind of thing.

Fortunately, Li Er was in a good mood at this time, and he didn't care about it, but explained with a smile: "How can I not know, but if you calculate the day, what will happen in Lingnan?"

Haha, it's been three years, a whole three years, presumably the immortal grain has fallen, otherwise Feng Ang would not have sent someone to say that it is a major matter of the country, and it is related to the immortal grain, so I want to personally greet it to show respect for the sky. ”

Half an hour later, Li Er, who was dressed in a dragon robe, walked quickly to the gate of the palace with the escort team, and the general who was resting here was shocked, what is the situation, eight hundred miles to hurry up and let me wait for half an hour, it turned out that His Majesty personally came out to greet him? Has the court changed its rules?

"Lingnan envoy, what is the urgent report of the Yue Guo Minister?" Pressing his excitement, Li Er asked.

The messenger led people to salute solemnly, and said loudly in public: "Your Majesty, the immortal grain returns to China, God bless the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Qing, say it again!"

"Your Majesty, the immortal grain returns to China, God bless the Tang Dynasty!"

"Say it again!"

"Your Majesty, the immortal grain returns to China, God bless the Tang Dynasty!"

"Hahahaha! Hahahaha!

Good, good ......."

What a fairy grain to return to China, what a heavenly friend Datang! Li Er laughed wildly, laughed straight for a stick of incense, and finally there were tears in the corners of his eyes, so he forced himself to calm down, reached out and took the secret letter that the messenger was carrying, opened it carefully, and looked at it quickly.

Three times in a row, the more I looked at it, the more frightened I became, the hand holding the letter trembled more and more, and there seemed to be a thousand miles of pride in my chest.

"Reward! Lingnan messengers, each with a reward of 100 taels, entertained you with a banquet to celebrate your achievements in the army.

Come on, hit 36 drums and 72 bells!

Open the Taiji Palace, two hours later, the Taiji Hall will have a big court. ”

Bells and drums in unison!

This is a major event that may not necessarily occur once in a dynasty to have this courtesy, the sound of horses' hooves woke up the sleeping people, and the next gathering of drums, one by one in the heart of every general.

Thirty-six drums of the generals, all the generals above the fifth rank in Chang'an must immediately rush to the palace, the generals below the fifth rank do not have the title of general, they are all called captains and the like, as soon as the drum sounds, these people must immediately rush to the military headquarters or their own military camp to report to the building.

The people in the various military camps in Chang'an need to return to the team within half a day, whether they are old and idle at home, or at home on vacation, there are a lot, and the thirty-six drums will only be beaten at two times, one is when the country is in danger, and the other is when the country is in danger, and the other is when the country is in great power, at this time, the Tang Dynasty dominates the world, which seems to be not a bad thing.

Seventy-two bells of the town of the country, that is, the general summoning of the ministers, all the officials above the fifth rank must enter the palace to meet the audience, and the officials under the five grades go to their own offices to report and wait for the instructions of the officials.

Bai Fan was awakened by the sound of bells and drums while still in his dream, and he was puzzled, what does it take to sound bells and drums?

Li Wanping beside him patted the child who had just been woken up, and waited until the child fell asleep again and asked, "Husband, the bells and drums are ringing in unison, why don't you enter the court?" ”

The Bai family rarely uses people, the children are brought by a few ladies in person, even the nurse Bai Fan insists on not letting it be used, although the aunt and mother-in-law have made a few troubles for this, but they are all in vain and can not return to Bai Fan, so generally the children sleep with their mothers at home, and now the children are two or three years old and better, and when they can't go before, a few young mothers are really inseparable.

"As a husband, I only have a title and no official position, and I don't have my share in these national affairs.

The bells and drums are either great joy or great sorrow, and now Datang is estimated to have no catastrophe, it must be a happy event, they just go to the lively, and now we should sleep for a while. Bai Fan squinted his eyes and said lazily.

This made Li Wanping speechless for a while, her husband is very capable, selfless, but lazy and casual, she works hard when she is busy, and she doesn't move when she is free, which is really weird.

But Bai Fan's good dream is destined to be unsuccessful, it doesn't take long, there are guards on duty outside to report, people from the palace, and Gao Nei's attendant personally comes to invite.

Bai Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly, this can't be Li Er's prank.

"Lao Gao, what made you come to disturb my sweet dreams? You won't know that I only have a title and no official position, and the bells and drums can't control me. ”

Looking at Lantian Hou in front of him, who was dressed in loose clothes, the inner servant Lao Gao was speechless for a while, and it was rumored that Lantian Hou was free and uninhibited, which was definitely not a lie.

"My lord, what can be sounded with bells and drums is a major event of the country!

Hou Ye has always done his best to ignore public affairs and selfishness, and he is most concerned about national affairs, why is he so indifferent today? ”

"Hahahaha, less sycophants. I, Bai Fan, am a wicked person, and I have always only dealt with the country's evil diseases and difficult affairs, but now who dares to provoke Datang? The bells and drums are definitely a good thing, even if it is celebrated by the whole world, you just do it, I don't like to join in the fun. ”

Lao Gao was speechless, and asked with a smile: "Master Hou, when the immortal grain returns to China, you don't want to join in this excitement?" ”

Bai Fan's lazy expression was stunned, and a flash stepped forward and grabbed Lao Gao's collar, "What?" Immortal food? The southern fleet is back? ”

Lao Gao saw the success of the trick, laughed and nodded.

"Okay, old fellow, deliberately teasing me!

Go, let me take you for a ride. ”

Bai Fan scolded with a smile, just holding Lao Gao's collar in one hand, holding it in his hand, stomping on his feet, rising up, and stepping out of at least a few dozen meters in one step, it looked like he was flying in the air from a distance.

Lao Gao is also a person with unique skills, he is not afraid in his heart, but secretly sighs, Hou Ye's skills have improved again, saying that he is a ride, not that he is anxious for fairy food, and he dislikes riding a horse slowly in the city? Use stunts to fly the eaves and walk the wall to the sky, it must be fast.
