Li Zhiying, who was in the Jade Pavilion Temple, heard the maids report that the emperor's royal car had arrived, and hurriedly brought the maids and the dignitaries who were invited tonight to the door to greet him, but when he walked out of the door, he saw Zhao Ziliang walking behind Li Longji.

"Ah, I didn't expect the emperor's brother and General Zhao to arrive together, Yuzhen was still thinking about why the emperor's brother and General Zhao hadn't arrived yet!" Li Zhiying held the dust with his left hand, put his right hand on his chest, and walked quickly to greet him.

"Yuzhen greets the emperor's brother and all the imperial sisters-in-law, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Li Longji smiled and helped Princess Yuzhen up, and said with a smile: "Get up, you are not too young, don't stick to these false courtesies when you see me in the future."

"Your Majesty, the ceremony must not be wasted!"

Princess Yuzhen didn't dare to do this, the purpose of her renunciation was to avoid the troubles of married life on the one hand, and on the other hand, to avoid the danger of power struggle, you must know that she Princess Taiping and other royal women were more arrogant and domineering, the more miserable they died, thinking that her grandmother Wu Zetian could be ruthless to her son, and sooner she was only the emperor's sister?

The more Princess Yuzhen is like this, the more Li Longji feels that he owes her, so he loves her even more, although she is in her forties at this time and nearly fifty years old, but in Li Longji's eyes, she is still that poor little sister.

"Okay, good, whatever you want, whatever you want!"

At this time, Zhao Ziliang arched his hand to Li Zhiying and said, "The last general has seen the Yuzhen Daoist!" ”

Li Zhiying looked at Zhao Ziliang and said with a smile: "The general doesn't have to be polite, in the past few days, it has taken a lot of effort to find out where the general is located!" I heard that the general bought the Xujia Zhuangzi seven miles south of the city, and he wanted to visit the poor road one day to see the scenery on the mountain, I wonder if the general welcomes it? ”

"If the Taoist chief goes, the last general will definitely sweep the bed and wait!"

Li Longji listened and couldn't help but look at Zhao Ziliang. That Xu family Zhuangzi is not an ordinary family, but built by the descendants of Li Ji, the prince of Zhenwu, and now Li Ji's descendants are going to Lingnan to be officials, so naturally there is no need here, Li Longji did not expect that Zhao Ziliang would be so rich to be able to buy that Zhuangzi.

Gao Lishi next to him smiled: "Hey, I didn't expect General Zhao to have such financial resources to buy Xujia Zhuangzi."

Zhao Ziliang was shocked when he heard this, looked at Gao Lishi, immediately guessed the identity of the other party, and arched his hand: "In the end, all this money was obtained by pinning his head to the waistband of his trousers to kill the enemy and seizing it, and he used it with peace of mind!" ”

"Oh. I didn't think that fighting a war would make so much money? Colliers said with a smile.

Zhao Ziliang glanced at Li Longji and saw that he didn't react, so he said: "Soldiers can only capture the spoils of war after winning the battle, provided that you are still alive, if you lose the battle, let alone capture the spoils, it is an honor for you to die on the battlefield, if you are unfortunately captured, it is more painful than death." Would you like to go to the border and give it a try? ”

"Uh・・・・・・" Colliers was speechless.

At this time, Li Longji spoke: "Zhiying, I'm a little hungry, let's go in and eat!" ”

"Then invite the emperor's brother into the temple to eat, Yuzhen made the emperor's brother's favorite dish," he said, walking briskly beside Li Longji.

"Oh. Then I'm going to have a feast today!"

Zhao Ziliang's identity was too low, so he could only follow the emperor's entourage at the back, Li Longji walked and turned his head to look. Seeing that Zhao Ziliang was a little far away, he asked Princess Yuzhen: "How did my sister meet Zhao Ziliang?" ”

Listening to Li Longji's questioning, I remembered the danger of that day. couldn't help but turn a little pale, couldn't help but caress his chest, and said with palpitations: "Speaking of which, General Zhao is still the life-saving benefactor of Xiaomei and Mrs. Yang!" On the day of the sacrifice of the prisoner at the Mingde Gate, Xiaomei's car drove in front, when Xiaomei and Taizhen Daochang were in the car, General Zhao and others escorted the prisoners not far behind, at that time there were many people at the city gate, the people cheered after seeing the captives, but they didn't want Xiaomei to ride the car that pulled the cart The horse was frightened, suddenly turned around, dragged the car and knocked over five or six escort cavalry in a row, General Zhao and others in the rear, it was very dangerous, General Zhao was really brave, he flew up from the horse and fell to the ground, The calcium carbide sparks grabbed the reins of the startled horse and firmly controlled the startled horse, and the horse couldn't break free, so he obediently quieted down! The imperial court has such a god general as General Zhao, which is the blessing of the emperor's brother and the blessing of the Tang Dynasty, as long as there is a person like General Zhao, the emperor's brother's country can be as stable as Mount Tai."

Li Longji listened to this, if someone else said this, he might have other ideas, but Princess Yuzhen Li Zhiying said this, he believed that even if Princess Yuzhen said good things for Zhao Ziliang in front of him out of gratitude to Zhao Ziliang, but the words themselves were not unreasonable, the key was that Zhao Ziliang was not only the life-saving benefactor of Princess Yuzhen, but also the life-saving benefactor of Yang Yu, the chief of the Taizhen Dao, which made him have to pay attention to it.

Li Longji thought for a while and smiled: "The words of the imperial sister are not unreasonable, but I see that this Zhao Ziliang is a little younger, and if you want to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, you have to sharpen him." Okay, I'll talk about this later, today I only came for the special dish made by the royal sister herself."

The main activity of this gathering was to recite poems and exchange opinions on the words of Taoism, except for the emperor and a few concubines, most of them were young scholars, literati and scholars who often followed Princess Yuzhen's side, and some nobles who were idle at home, these people had no official positions in the court, so Princess Yuzhen did not have to commit taboos against the emperor and the court when she interacted with them.

What surprised Zhao Ziliang was that Yang Yu, the head of Taizhen Dao, was also here, Yang Yu was the later Yang Guifei, her real name was Yang Yu, and she was later admitted to the palace by Xuanzong and saw that she had a plump figure, so she added a ring word after her name and called her Yuhuan.

Yang Yu was sitting not far from Emperor Li Longji, and when he saw Zhao Ziliang nodding his head to say hello with a smile, Zhao Ziliang arched his hand to Yang Yu's side.

The meal was quickly served, but it was all vegetarian dishes, no wine, and tea instead. While the guests were eating, they watched the maids beside Princess Yuzhen sing and dance.

Zhao Ziliang found that Li Longji looked at Yang Yu from time to time and whispered to her, but Yang Yu looked like he was sitting on pins and needles, which made Zhao Ziliang very puzzled, didn't it mean that these two staged a shocking love between his father-in-law and daughter-in-law? Why doesn't Yang Yu seem to have this meaning at all now, is it just the wishful thinking of Li Longji's father-in-law, and in the end Yang Yu was forced to have no choice but to commit to him?

Zhao Ziliang thought, this possibility is not impossible, you must know that Yang Yu has no heirs since he married Li Longji's son, Shouwang Li Mao, but he has always been very affectionate, since Yang Yu's beauty was seen by Li Longji, Li Longji had an idea about Yang Yu, and then prepared to attack Li Mao and take away Yang Yu, Yang Yu had to bend down with Li Longji in order to protect Li Mao, this is completely reasonable, at least in this time period is possible, as for later, because Li Longji loves Yang Yu very much, This made Yang Yu get what he couldn't get from Li Mao in Li Longji, and gradually had feelings for Li Longji.

What the truth is, Zhao Ziliang doesn't know, and he can't guess, anyway, what he sees now is that Yang Yu's closeness and flattery to Li Longji is like pins and needles, and it is likely that the reason why Li Longji appeared here tonight is related to Yang Yu.

Yang Yu left the table halfway, and he didn't know where he went, and soon Li Longji also urinated, and after a full hour, the two returned to the table one after the other, Li Longji's face was a little unsightly, and Yang Yu's eyes were a little red and swollen, as if he had cried.

Soon after the banquet ended, Li Longji sent someone over to tell Zhao Ziliang before leaving, and let him attend the court meeting tomorrow without delay. After Li Longji left, others also left.

Zhao Ziliang also said goodbye to Princess Yuzhen: "Dao Chief, thank you for your hospitality today, please Dao Chang have time to go to Mojiang Mansion Mountain to drink as a guest."

Princess Yuzhen smiled: "Poor Dao will definitely go!" ”

Because he wants to participate in tomorrow's morning dynasty, Zhao Ziliang can only find an inn in the city to stay, and ask Bai Xiaode to send someone back to Zhuangzi to bring his drape and bring an ordinary sweat horse over, he has no court clothes for a young general of this level, and the court can only wear armor, if it is not for the emperor to send someone to inform him to go to the court, he is not even qualified to participate in the court meeting.

The next day, before the end of the day, Zhao Ziliang got up, put on his armor, helmet and bright red cloak, and then rode on a sweaty horse and took Bai Xiaode and a few other servants to the palace to attend the court meeting.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Zhao Ziliang saw that many officials and generals were already waiting, and from the crowd of officials and generals at the gate of the imperial city, Zhao Ziliang saw Gai Jiayun.

After dismounting and handing over the horse to Bai Xiaode, Zhao Ziliang walked over to greet Gai Jiayun: "Lord Gai, are you here so early?" ”

Gai Jiayun said with a smile: "The last time the old man participated in the court meeting was five years ago, it's not early, it's not good to be late, you also come to the court meeting?" ”

"Well, Your Majesty sent someone to inform me that I should come over today to attend the court meeting!"

Gai Jiayun nodded, looked left and right, pulled Zhao Ziliang to the side and said in a low voice: "Ziliang, the old man heard the rumors, someone around the emperor said bad things about you, you have to be prepared, let you come over today, it may be related to your next destination, no matter where the emperor asks you to go or what position you take, you must not hesitate, you have to agree, understand?" ”

Zhao Ziliang heard a sigh in his heart, his face changed slightly, he was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I know the severity!" It's just that Liang has no dealings with the ministers and generals of the DPRK and China, and he has not offended anyone, so who is it that wants to get along with Liang? Please also dial one or two! ”

Gai Jiayun hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I heard that it is Gao Lishi next to the emperor!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was stunned, frowned, and said, "The last general has never offended him, why should he not get along with me?" Yesterday in Princess Yuzhen's Taoist temple, that Gao Lishi hinted to the emperor between his words that I deducted the soldiers' salaries, and Zhao asked himself if he was not thin on the soldiers, and he never deducted a penny's military salary, but also took out a part of the spoils he seized to give bereavement benefits to the families of the fallen soldiers, etc., the last general seemed to understand ・・・・・・Bian Lingcheng, it must be his ghost."

"Bian Lingcheng, is Bian Lingcheng, the envoy of Fumeng's prison army?"

"Yes, that's him!"

Gai Jiayun said angrily: "These damn eunuchs, they can't fight, they are greedy for life and afraid of death!" Drag your feet and slander you are doing everything! (To be continued.) )
