Li Longji didn't speak for a long time, all the civil and military generals, dignitaries, celebrities and ladies under the Chenglou Mountain were waiting, after a long time, it seemed that Li Longji was a little out of shape, of course Gao Lishi couldn't let this kind of thing continue, so as not to embarrass the emperor, leaned over and whispered: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, did you let Lord Gai and General Zhao sacrifice prisoners?" ”

Li Longji came back to his senses and made up his mind that he originally disliked Zhao Ziliang very much after listening to Gao Lishi's words just now, but after thinking about it again, although this BMW named Black Dragon was prepared to be presented to him by the Great Food Country Mission, but it was snatched away by the Tuqi Shi people on the road, and Zhao Ziliang was snatched from among the Tuqi Shi generals, which was separated by a layer, and Zhao Ziliang could not be completely blamed for not sacrificing Ma Jin to him.

Li Longji thought like this, but he had an idea in his heart, pressed this idea, raised his hand upward, and said to Gai Jiayun and Zhao Ziliang under the city tower: "Gai Qing's family, Zhao Qing's family, let's start offering prisoners!" ”

"Do your Majesty's will!" The two agreed, and then rode their horses to the left and right, leaving the middle of the street.

Zhao Ziliang held the golden nail jujube yang lance and pointed forward, and shouted: "The prisoner sacrifice begins, and the military generals of the royal family of Tuqi Shi will come forward to meet His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

As Zhao Ziliang's voice fell, the cavalry behind began to urge the captives to drag the heavy shackles and chains forward, the shackles on their feet made a crisp sound on the bluestone on the street, Tuhuo Xian and Er Wei and other Tuqi royal clans, ministers and generals at this time one by one ragged, faltering, full of dust and haggard, face full of dirt, beard, depressed and embarrassed, no longer unruly in the past, now they are just a group of lambs to be slaughtered.

Without anyone's reprimand or order, Tuhuoxian, Er Wei and others walked to the city tower, and according to the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, they knelt on the ground and bowed to the emperor.

The Fire Spitting Immortal said in a hoarse and trembling voice: "The son of the Sulu Khan, the Fire Immortal, Erwei and the Tuqi Shi royal family, the ministers and generals pay a visit to His Majesty the Heavenly Khan!" ”

At this moment, Li Longji only felt that his heart of great joy was greatly satisfied, and he shouted in his heart. Ancestors, look at it, what you have done, I have done it today, and I have not insulted your prestige!

Li Longji looked at the thirty or forty princes and ministers and generals under the city tower, and said in a deep voice: "Spitting Fire Fairy, Erwei, can you be convicted?" ”

The fire-spitting fairy hurriedly said: "Little Khan is guilty, Little Khan is guilty??????"

Before the Fire Spitting Fairy could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Ziliang loudly: "Fire Spitting Fairy, you are presumptuous!" His Majesty the Emperor has not canonized you as the Khan of Turgish, and the position of Khan was appointed by you without permission. At this point, you still dare to call yourself a khan? ”

Hearing this, the fire-spitting fairy trembled with fright, and after slapping himself a few times in a row, he hurriedly said: "Tian Khan, the fire-spitting fairy didn't mean it, the villain can't talk with his brain, the sky Khan has a broad mind like the vast sky, and the villain is just an illiterate foreign barbarian, please don't see the villain in general."

Li Longji was stunned when he heard this. smiled: "You are a little self-aware, how to deal with you, I haven't thought about it yet!" Come and prepare the carriage and horses. I want to sacrifice my prisoners to the Taimiao, so that Gaozu Taizong will know that I have not insulted their prestige."

"Yes!" All the ministers bowed down together.

The chariot was already ready, just near the Suzaku Gate, waiting for the emperor and the ministers and generals to come down from the castle tower. The imperial driver was already waiting at the gate of the city, and the chariots and horses of the other ministers and generals were also lined up in the back according to the size of the grade, after the emperor got on the imperial car. The other ministers and generals climbed into the carriage and waited.

With Li Longji's order to go to Taimiao, the royal car set off, and the chariots and horses of other ministers and generals also followed behind, and Gai Jiayun and Zhao Ziliang and others were going to take prisoners, so they walked behind the entire long procession.

The queue to Taimiao is too long, in addition to the royal family, ministers, nobles, ministers, generals, officials, there are also the left and right dragon military escorts in the royal forbidden army, as well as the left and right guards, left and right military guards, and left and right Xiao guards in the Jingshi Su Guard, and the left and right guards are staggered and patrolled along the street, there are many people, the street is a little crowded, and the team is moving slowly.

By the time Gai Jiayun and Zhao Ziliang led the army to escort the captives to Taimiao, everything had been prepared, and as soon as they arrived, they were notified to immediately escort the captives into Taimiao.

When the captives knelt down in front of all the dead emperor's tablets in Li Tang, Li Longji took the sacrificial text and recited it, which was nothing more than to comfort his ancestors, saying how he was, offering prisoners of war to his ancestors and ancestors today, and so on.

A cumbersome ritual was carried out for a whole morning, there were forbidden troops in the Taimiao watching the prisoners and guarding the emperor, Gai Jiayun's official was big enough, so he was qualified to enter the Taimiao to pay homage to the tablets of the ancestors of the Li Tang royal family, and Zhao Ziliang's official was too young, and now he had nothing to do, so he stood outside the gate of the Taimiao and rode on horseback with weapons motionless, and Bai Xiaode and others behind him were also like sculptures.

The cumbersome etiquette finally ended, and as the emperor walked out of the temple and left on the royal car, the ministers, generals and nobles also went home and looked for their mothers. The captives have all been handed over to the left and right guards and taken into the prison, waiting to be disposed of.

Gai Jiayun has a family and a house in the capital, so naturally he went home with his own guards, and Zhao Ziliang could only take the guards to live in the post house.

The servants do not have a military establishment, of course they can wear it when they follow the master to fight, but they can't wear it in this Chang'an City, after all, there is no military identity, so Zhao Ziliang can only let the Hu servants take off their armor and put on their regular clothes, and there are a lot of people, and they always live in a post house, after lunch, Zhao Ziliang asked Zheng San to go to Chang'an Chengdong City to find a Chinese person to see if there is a manor for sale outside the city.

There are two major markets in Chang'an City, namely the East Market and the West Market, and most of the commercial activities in Chang'an are completed in these two markets, but there are also shops operating on the streets where residents live.

Chang'an West City is world-famous, in this period was the world's largest trading market, all the common goods can be bought here, it is also the Western Regions Hu Shang, Goryeo, Japan and other surrounding small countries of the merchants gathered, so this is an international trade market.

The East Market is somewhat different from the West Market, and the customers of the East Market are generally relatives of the emperor, dignitaries, and wealthy merchants, that is, the consumption places of the upper class

Both the east and west markets have walls, called city walls, and there are nine districts, with two gates in each direction, and two gates in each direction, and the city walls separate the east and west markets from the residential areas, and the streets are also surrounded by walls and managed by officials.

When it was almost dark at night, Zheng San came back with a happy face, and immediately said when he saw Zhao Ziliang: "Brother Liang, I have good luck today, I went to Dongshi to find a tooth shop and said that I wanted to buy Zhuangzi, and the people in the tooth shop heard that there was just a descendant of the princess who was demoted to Lingnan to be an official, and before leaving, I wanted to sell a Zhuangzi outside the city, I immediately asked the people of the tooth shop to take me to see, and when I got to the ground, I was obedient, a big Zhuangzi, Zhuangzi was on a hill, and there were more than 100 acres of fields up and down the mountain, with peach forests, bamboo forests, and wheat fields. There is a horse farm and a huge fish pond at the bottom of the mountain, there is a reservoir on the top of the mountain, the Zhuangzi is very large, boxy, there are hundreds of houses, the main house is luxurious, the furniture is all available, as long as you bring your own luggage you can move in, I see that the Zhuangzi is good, the price is right, so I will help you buy it on your own initiative! ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Oh? It's good to hear you say that, how much did you buy it? ”

Zheng Sandao: "It's not expensive, according to the market price of Chang'an today, this piece of Zhuangzi should be about 23,000 guan, but the family was in a hurry to sell it and took the money to Lingnan, so they took the initiative to reduce the price at 20,000 guan, I saw that he was in a hurry to make a move, so I bargained with him and took it at a price of 18,000 guan."

Although this price is not expensive, Zhao Ziliang still couldn't help but gasp, 18,000 yuan, this amount is equivalent to hundreds of millions of dollars in the future world, wouldn't it be good for him to buy such a mansion with a small general Ning Yuan? After thinking about it again, all this money was earned back by pinning his head to the waistband of his pants, who would dare to gossip?

Since you bought it, you can simply move in and live there, Zhao Ziliang thought about it in his heart, and said to Zheng San: "Okay, we will move in tomorrow, Blehan, Bai Xiaode, tell the brothers, prepare your own things, and move to live in Zhuangzi outside the city after breakfast tomorrow."

Both agreed at the same time: "No! ”

On the morning of the second day, Zhao Ziliang and others all moved into the Zhuangzi located in the south of the city, as soon as they walked to the foot of the mountain where the Zhuangzi was located, they saw a large area of green and verdant wheat fields and the red peach blossoms and green bamboo forests on the top of the mountain, there was a very wide road from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, this hill was not high, only afraid that it was less than 50 meters, but it covered an area of not small, the slope was relatively flat, there were terraces everywhere, there were several long brick and wood tile houses on both sides of the intersection at the foot of the mountain, there were horse farms, fish ponds, sheepfolds around the house, and there were one or two hundred houses in these rowsIt's big enough.

Zhao Ziliang arranged for Bai Xiaode to live here with fifty guards, responsible for the breeding of war horses and the management of the farming households left by the previous owner, who did not live here, but lived in a nearby village, just two miles away.

When he arrived on the mountain, Zhao Ziliang was shocked by the main house on the top of the mountain and the surrounding houses and buildings, this scale is definitely only affordable for the princess class, I heard Zheng San say that the ancestor of the owner of this house used to be a certain duke, should be the founding father of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise it could not be a duke.

The next day, Zhao Ziliang came to Gai Jiayun's mansion, and after the family reported, he was quickly introduced, and after seeing Gai Jiayun, he saluted and said: "My lord, if there is nothing here, the last general wants to go back to his hometown to see first, it has been too long since he was away from home, and his heart is always like an arrow!" ”

Gai Jiayun smiled when he heard this: "Your mood, the official knows, but you can't go back now, at least you have to wait for the emperor's holy decree to come down before leaving, see if the emperor has other appointments for the two of us, don't worry, no matter whether the emperor has other appointments, you can go back to your hometown to visit relatives, these **** will take your entourage to play around in Chang'an City, go around, and see the prosperity of Chang'an, but you have to control your subordinates, this Chang'an City is full of officials, It's a shame to offend people here! ”

Zhao Ziliang hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my lord, the end will be saved, and I will definitely restrain my subordinates." (To be continued.) )
