Chapter 140: Two Eunuchs
Li Qing and his entourage entered the city from Yanguang Gate, the golden cornices were upturned to the top, the exquisite buildings of the scales came into view, the streets were full of people, lively and noisy, and the bustling crowd walked next to the team, all dressed gorgeously, colorful, whether men or women, young or old, they were all full of red light, jubilant, and his ears were full of familiar words, he greedily breathed the air of his homeland, let the Tang wind blow his face, and a heartfelt joy surged in his heart, Chang'an, I am back!
Looking back, all the soldiers were as excited as he was, and the longing to return home appeared on their faces.
"Heiye, you go to the military department for the record first, divide the luggage, and let everyone go home!"
After Li Qing finished speaking, he asked the roadside shop to borrow a pen and paper, wrote down the address of his home, and handed it to Wu Xingsudao: "You just work hard, go to comfort the fallen brothers for my family one by one, if there is anything that can't be solved, go to me according to this address." ”
Everyone responded, one by one stepped forward to say goodbye to Li Qing, looking at the reluctant backs of everyone, Li Qing's nose was sour, and the three-month bloody struggle made them have deep feelings, seeing that the breakup was imminent, his eyes couldn't help but redden, and he whispered, "Believe me, we will definitely be together!" ”
"What an envy! If I could be twenty years younger, I would also be willing to follow General Li to serve the country. ”
Li Qing was surprised, and looked back at the dark-skinned eunuch, such words actually came out of the mouth of a eunuch. It was really rare, he couldn't help but be interested, and arched his hand to him and said, "May I ask my father-in-law's surname?" ”
"Ling Cheng below, Father-in-law Gao has fallen ill in the past few days, and I will be on duty for him!"
'Bian Lingcheng? Li Qing chewed on this name carefully, he had heard of it, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and he was about to start. He suddenly remembered, Bian Lingcheng, didn't he kill Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqingdi, the eunuch and the eunuch?
Li Qing took a step back, his eyes were fixed on him, and the corners of his mouth hung on his usual sneer, and there was an urge to kill him in his heart. Bian Lingcheng looked at him blankly, uneasy, I don't know why he heard his name, he had this expression, as soon as he looked up, he saw that it was not early, so he urged: "General Li, we must leave quickly, the emperor is still waiting!" ”
Li Qing's eyes had softened, and Bian Lingcheng was just a knife. Even if he wasn't there, there would be another sword. Besides, Ling Cheng here still has some talent in history, and he should encircle him. Instead of offending him, thinking of this, he smiled slightly: "Father-in-law Bian actually won the emperor's gold medal, which shows that he has won the trust of the emperor and has the heart to serve the country. I want to bring Li Qingcai a lot. ”
After speaking, he took advantage of the unpreparedness. quietly handed over a red silk bag, "This is from the Nanzhao Palace, give it to Grandpa Bian to keep a souvenir!" ”
Just as it is the nature of a cat to love fish, it is also a nature for eunuchs to love money, as if there are a few parts missing, and it must be filled with money, Bian Lingcheng has no chance to get ahead, and the good thing of collecting money is not his turn, this is the first time in his life, he was flattered, his hand trembled and took it, and he secretly glanced inside, only to see a bright light coming from his eyes, he seemed to be close to the fire, from his hand to his face was red, his mouth stammered, and he couldn't even say a word of thanks, and in the red silk bag was a diamond with a large apricot core.
Bian Lingcheng seemed to be stupid, and only walked to the palace with Li Qing, his heart was empty, and he had no thoughts, and after a while, he was like a hibernating snake entering the spring, and slowly came alive again, 'God, diamonds! ’
Bian Lingcheng seemed to be holding his breath in his chest, and he had to shout out loudly to be happy! It's a pleasure!
"General Li, thank you."
Talking is far from enough to show sincerity, Bian Lingcheng thought about it for a long time, and suddenly thought of the book, he urged him to take a few steps forward, and Li Qing walked side by side, seeing that there was no one left and right, he whispered to him: "King Yushichen:=: Don't say this in front of the emperor, otherwise I will definitely die!" ”
Li Qingxin was secretly shocked, Li really refused to let go of himself, needless to say, this must be another trap by Li Linfu, revenge for his cooperation with Wei Jian, he sneered in his heart, there is no evidence, the party was killed by himself again, what is there to fear, but this Li Linfu has always refused to let go of himself, it seems that the nature of wolves eating people has not changed because of his own concessions, hum! I don't give you a little bit of a good look, but I'm really a sick cat.
Thinking of this, he smiled faintly, "Father-in-law Bian, please rest assured, Li Qingxin naturally knows it." ”
Speaking, a group of people have passed the imperial city, through the Taiji Palace, to the Xuanwu Gate, the Tang Dynasty Palace is divided into four parts, Daming Palace, Taiji Palace, Yeting Palace, East Palace, its Yeting Palace is the place where the sinner woman serves, a bit like a female prison, Taiji Palace is the early Tang Dynasty Palace, in the north of the Taiji Palace is the West Inner Garden, but also the station of the Yulin Army and the Ten Thousand Cavalry Battalion, the Xuanwu Gate is between the West Inner Garden and the Taiji Palace, the geographical location is extremely important, Tang Wu Denian, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident here, opened the door to the rule of Zhenguan.
As soon as Li Qing entered Xuanwu, he heard a deep and familiar voice, "Yangming, is it you?" ”
He looked up hurriedly, only an officer stood by the city gate, tall, with tiger eyes and a lion's nose, and a majestic style, which made Li Qing really taken aback, not who Yang Zhao is, it seems that history has not gone wrong, he finally entered Beijing, at this time he is just a small officer, but soon he will soar and reach the peak of power, he will be a chess piece used by Li Longji to contain Li Linfu, maybe even Li Longji himself has not realized it now, but history will go in that direction, even Li Qing himself has no bottom, In history, there was no such person as himself, but now there is, and in his own hands, the direction of Nanzhao has also changed.
But now he didn't have time to catch up with Yang Zhao, so he stepped forward and whispered to him: "I'll come to you in a few days!" ”
Yang Zhao had already heard that Li Qing was thriving in Chang'an, and when he saw that the emperor was going to summon him now, he was even more envious, he was an extremely snobbish
If Li Qing is impoverished, no matter how good their personal relationship is, he may not reminisce about the past, in fact, this is also human nature, and it is the same in ancient and modern times.
Yang Zhao saw that Li Qing was followed by a group of eunuchs, and immediately stood up straight, and checked their waist cards for entering the palace with a solemn face.
Li Longji had already taken a nap, his energy was sufficient, and he was engrossed in reviewing the folds, and below him, Gao Lishi was carefully classifying the folds, but his eyes kept sweeping out the door, his face was sallow, his eyelids were swollen, obviously the illness was not cured, he was recuperating at home, but suddenly received a secret report from a henchman little eunuch, the emperor asked Bian Lingcheng to watch the folds, Gao Lishi almost fainted, just like a miser broke into a group of robbers in his house, so that he could not tolerate it! So, he entered the palace with his illness, firmly held his position, and did not let anyone take advantage of it again.
At this time, a little eunuch shook at the door, Gao Lishi understood, this is Bian Lingcheng back, he saw Li Longji focused, so he quietly walked out, and saw Bian Lingcheng coming from afar with Li Qing, he snorted heavily, stood at the door, and looked coldly at this bold palace man.
Bian Lingcheng saw Gao Lishi from afar, saw his eyes full of resentment, saw his knife-like gaze, his face immediately turned pale, and the joy of receiving the gift was driven away without a trace, "It's over! He will not let himself go', everything was shattered at this moment, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the wood stood there, motionless.
Thinking of the viciousness of Colliers. Bian Lingcheng suddenly trembled, trembling more and more, trembling from his thighs to his chest, and then to his skull, and then, his eyes went black, like a tree blown by a strong wind, swaying. Seeing that he was about to fall, Li Qing helped him, he also saw Gao Lishi, and immediately reacted, so he whispered in his ear: "Father-in-law Bian doesn't have to be discouraged, if the emperor wants to use you." No one can stop it. ”
As if taking a dose of quick-acting relief to dissipate his heart, Bian Lingcheng immediately relieved his breath, "Yes! Now that it's here, what's the use of being afraid? ’
Thinking of this, he glanced at Li Qing gratefully, and led him to greet him, "Gonggong Gao, I was ordered by the emperor to invite General Li, and now I have brought it, and I hereby give the order!" ”
The sound is not loud or small. Just enough for Li Longji in the house to hear, even Li Qing secretly praised him for being smart. In this way, it immediately turns reactive into proactive. And at this moment, no matter how soft he is, Gao Lishi still won't let him go, instead of escaping, it's better to fight, it seems that Li Longji uses this person as a prison army, and he does have a reason.
Bian Lingcheng handed over a gold medal, and Gao Lishi was even more surprised when he saw it, and his heart was hateful and vigilant. As long as this gold medal is presented, Bian Lingcheng's words are a holy decree. Gao Lishi has served the emperor for decades, and this gold medal is only used once, and here Ling Cheng won the gold medal on the first day of serving the emperor, so how can he not be red and how not to itch the root of his teeth.
He hesitated, and was about to reach out to pick it up, but he heard Li Longji's voice from the room, "Since the person has already been brought, why don't you come in yet!" ”
Gao Lishi was trembling, and didn't dare to accept the gold medal again, so he only glared at Bian Lingcheng fiercely, and said to Li Qing with a smile: "The emperor has been waiting for a long time, Li joins the army, please come in." ”
Sometimes calling the leader's old official name often has more effect, such as the director of the bureau is promoted to mayor, and you accidentally call him a king, which will make him feel like a hero back then, and he will remember that you are his old subordinate, so as to bring the relationship between the two closer, this is a small trick to pat the leader's ass, readers may wish to give it a try, but remember, it can only be done by chance, too much, and the effect will be counterproductive.
But Gao Lishi called Li to join the army, but it was not the time, he should learn from Li Linfu, patted Li Qing on the shoulder, and called with a smile, 'Xiao Li', the effect may be better, Li Qing nodded at him and smiled slightly, and followed him into the imperial study.
I haven't seen him for a few months, Li Longji is obviously old, his hair is gray, and the skin on his face is also relaxed, no longer delicate and smooth as before, if you look closely, you can still find a few faint old age spots looming, maybe ten years old is a person's hurdle, and after crossing this hurdle, people will move from years to old age.
When Li Longji saw Li Qing coming in, he waved his hand, stopped his big salute, pointed to the small chair at the head of the head, and smiled gently: "Sit down and talk!" ”
His face turned to look at Bian Lingcheng and Gao Lishi, and took the gold medal first, before he smiled faintly at Bian Lingcheng and said, "Since Gao Gonggong's illness has been cured, you should go back first!" Take good care of yourself, I will use you again in the future. ”
Bian Lingcheng understood the emperor's words, he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, tears fell from his eyes with excitement, and he choked up: "The old slave remembers the holy metaphor, and must take good care of himself and serve the emperor." ”
After speaking, he slowly got up, got rid of the cold aura exerted by Gao Lishi's eyes, retreated to the door step by step, turned around and left, Li Qing silently looked at his back and went away, they will meet again in the future.
Li Longji glanced at Gao Lishi again, Gao Lishi understood, closed the door and retreated, at this time only Li Longji and Li Qing were left in the room, his eyes were raised, and a cold light shot out of his unfathomable eyes, and he carefully looked at the person in front of him.
I haven't seen him for three months, Li Qing has changed a lot, he is darker and thinner than before, but his body is much stronger, he sits there with a straight waist, his eyes are calm, his expression is decisive, his lips are stretched in a straight line, revealing mature self-confidence, his whole appearance and demeanor began to look like a soldier, he was a piece of pig iron before going to Nanzhao, after being tempered again and again by Nanzhao, he was finally refined into a piece of steel.
Li Longji couldn't help but admire, 'What a heroic man, it seems that God has given me another great talent!' ’
"Not bad! Not bad! You didn't disappoint me. ”
He smiled kindly, his voice was soft and magnetic, leaned forward slightly, and said to Li Qing with 120,000 interest: "Say it! Tell me in detail what happened in the East and Nanzhao, and don't miss every detail. ”
