Chapter Twenty-Seven: Seeking Many Doors in One Matter

Li Guangxiong walked with his sword in both hands, Li Zhenan held high the military flag on his side, Li Kun and Cheng Mu followed, followed the old lady in three steps and bowed, and went straight to the door of the mansion.

The Chai brothers subconsciously avoided the side, and the onlookers whispered to the sides and retreated. Duan Jinglei, who was supported by the steward, was stunned on the spot as soon as he came out of the banner. The two servants couldn't drag him, and seeing the old man holding the sword approaching, Duan Jinglei saw the old man's face clearly, and was shocked, regardless of the pain in his chest, he hurriedly bowed down, his mouth trembled, and he couldn't speak.

Li Guangxiong looked solemn, looked straight ahead with his eyes, and walked past Duan Jinglei's side, without glancing at him, as if he was nothing. Li Zhen'an Qingqi walked over and looked down, feeling familiar, and suddenly remembered a person after a little thought, he couldn't help but pause in front of Duan Jinglei, and said mockingly: "Who should I have such a loud voice, it turned out to be a 'guillotine stone'." I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and your head hasn't been broken? ”

was ridiculed like this in front of everyone, and the onlookers, who knew Duan Jinglei, thought that he would attack violently. I don't want Duan Jinglei Although his face was swollen and red, and the green tendons on his forehead were protruding, he didn't raise his head, he didn't dare to clench his fists, and knelt on the ground steadily.

"I didn't know before, I offended the second master. Thank you, Fourth Brother...... Mercy ......"

"Buzz ......" The audience was full of discussions. Chai Zhewei's eyes were about to pop out, and he almost couldn't maintain the demeanor of a son. Duan Jinglei's swords, axes and axes on the battlefield did not change his face, and those who dared to charge even in the face of the Turkic cavalry were beaten like this...... He even said, "Thank you for your mercy"? Who is this middle-aged man? It made Duan Jinglei so afraid.

"This strong man ......" Chai Zhewei stepped forward when he saw the opportunity and said: "Duan Duwei made an unintentional mistake, I hope to forgive me." Don't know the name of the hero? What is the matter with coming to my mansion? ”

Li Zhenan turned his head to look at Chai Zhewei, took a closer look at his face, and asked, "The boss of the Chai family?" ”

Chai Zhewei was stunned: "The strong man knows me?" ”

Li Zhenan was silent, looked at Chai Zhewei's face and shook his head, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the old lady had already walked away, and left a sentence: "Wait for me to worship the handsome woman, and then talk to you in detail!" After finishing speaking, he left Chai Zhewei and strode up to the old lady.

Chai Lingwu and Li Tai moved to Chai Zhewei's side, their eyes staring at Li Kun Chengmu, who had just followed up, but they didn't see anything special.

"Big brother, they? …… Just let them in? ”

Chai Zhewei waved his hand to stop the family song: "Since you call your mother a handsome woman, you shouldn't be here to make trouble." What's more......" Chai Zhewei glanced at Duan Jinglei, who was still lying on the ground: "Don't hurry up and help Duan Duwei up!" ”

Duan Jinglei was helped up by two sturdy subordinates, his expression was in a trance, and he arched his hand to Chai Zhewei in a cold sweat: "Many, thank you Shizi." ”

"It doesn't matter if Duan Duwei is injured, right?"

"It's okay, just rest." said so, but seeing the corners of his mouth twitching from time to time, and the appearance of cold sweat on his forehead, if he wasn't being held, I'm afraid it would be difficult to stand.

"Duan Duwei knows that old man?" Chai Lingwu was really curious in his heart, and he couldn't care about Duan Jinglei's untenable embarrassment.

"How can you not know ......" Duan Jinglei tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing an ugly smile, and looked into the mansion with palpitations: "Tens of thousands of soldiers in the Women's Army...... I don't know the handsome women, and I don't dare not know them......"

"What the hell is this 'bully' ......" Li Tai looked around and found that all the people who used to belong to the old department of the Women's Army were silent and shrank behind the people after seeing the banner of the bully, and no longer made noise.

"At that time, there were 1,000 guards around the female handsome, including 300 each of 'Chaofeng', 'Baxia' and 'Kissing', and 100 female guards called 'Fengwei'. Among them, the 300 people of the Baxia army are all from one place, and it is said that they are all children of the same clan, and their combat power is ......," Duan Jinglei said here, and his body couldn't help but tremble, "The combat power is strong, and no one in the army is invincible...... was pointed out by the female marshal as a military justice team, specializing in supervising wartime and inspecting military discipline after the war. So...... No one in the army is afraid of them......"

Chai Lingwu whispered in the eldest brother's ear: "It is rumored that my mother has recruited rebels and bandits from all walks of life under her command, but she has strict military discipline and has no offense with Minqiu. His Majesty admires his mother's way of commanding the army, and it seems that it has a lot to do with this tyrant's camp. ”

Chai Zhewei frowned and said nothing, nudged the second brother and said, "What are you still doing here?" Don't go and report to your father. After saying that, he arranged for the steward to carry away the injured and take care of him, and then apologized to the guests outside the door, and rearranged the reception of the servants, and then turned around and walked quickly to the main hall.

The Jiao ceremony was not affected, and the Changqing Taoist walked down the altar to rest, drinking slowly with a cup of water, but his eyes were looking at the main hall. After noticing Chai Zhewei coming, he casually handed the cup to Daotong, turned around and raised his palms as a salute, and nodded in greeting. "But the prince has encountered some difficulties?"

Chai Zhewei returned the salute respectfully and said politely: "Some mundane matters, if you have the chief of the labor road to inquire, Zhewei will deal with it." ”

Changqing Dao Chang Twist Beard smiled, and said abruptly: "The old man with a sword, I don't see the slightest murderous aura between my eyebrows and eyes, but looking at his face, in the first half of my life, when the sea of blood was up and down, my descendants were killed. The fierce spirit of the strong man has not disappeared, and his face is partial to killing and slaughtering, although he can be powerful for a while, but he should not have lived long. But now......"

"How now?"

Changqing Dao's expression was unpredictable, and he replied to the question: "The director of longevity, the destiny of heaven can be enjoyed." Only cultivate the Taoist heart and cultivate constancy. The general and the prince are both people who want to lead the army, and they must understand the way to cultivate their bodies and temperament, and they must not be polluted by blood. ”

Chai Zhewei listened to it ignorantly, just bowed his head and saluted and said that he was taught, but he didn't understand what Changqing Dao meant in his long words for a while. Concerned about the situation in the main hall, I had to put these aside for the time being, and said goodbye to the chief of Changqing Dao and left.

The Daoist of Changqing watched Chai Zhewei walk away, and muttered in his mouth: "I don't know which master predecessor can wash away the anger and resolve the fate of blood dissolution for these people who are trapped in the sea of blood." Sun Daoyou specially asked me to read more and talk less, I thought it was for Princess Zhao, but now it seems to be for these people......"

The tragic war song is the best sacrifice for Princess Zhao, even if she takes off her military uniform, even if she gets married and has children, even if she returns to the Chai family and her soul returns to the sea of stars. But it belongs to the heroic spirit of the handsome woman of the Women's Army! With the battle flag does not fall, with the warrior forever.

The battle song of the two people overwhelmed the hustle and bustle of the entire Guogong Mansion. The soldiers from the Women's Army slowly gathered outside the main hall, and when they saw the standing blood-colored tyrant lowering the flag, they silently retreated to the courtyard and bowed their heads silently, and groups of three or five gradually formed a queue. The rest of the guests were amazed.

And Chai Shao, the prince of the country, finally rushed to the main hall in a solemn state, and saw at a glance the old man who was prostrating in front of the spiritual seat of Princess Pingyang Zhao, holding his hands high, and his wife was given the sword before his death!

Chang'an City is full of powerful people, and there are countless trivial matters in every household, but whenever a major event happens, it is always impossible to bypass the Taiji Palace, the center of Chang'an City!

After having breakfast in Concubine Yang's bedroom, the emperor rushed to deal with political affairs with the prime ministers. As soon as he finished reading the two recitals, an attendant walked into the hall with a volume of recitals, walked lightly past the secretary Lang and the general secretary to the front of the palace, and knelt on the ground to report: "Your Majesty, the document just sent by the Weiguo Mansion. ”

Li Erlang frowned slightly, hurriedly put down the Chinese scroll in his hand, took it with his hand, and asked casually: "But General Li's front-line military newspaper?" ”

The little chamberlain was just about to get up and retreat, but when he heard the words, he knelt down again, lowered his head and said, "It's not General Li's report, it's a document sent by the Weiguo Mansion." ”

"Oh......" Li Erlang's expression relaxed, his body leaned back on the armrest, slowly opened the scroll and read it casually, during which the corners of his eyebrows were slightly raised, and then he closed the scroll and threw it aside. Continue to review the recital.

After discussing with the officials of Shangshu Province about the supply of the Northwest Army and the handling of the areas in Guanzhong that still need relief, it was almost noon, Li Erlang did not dine with the officials in Shangshu Province, but went to the Empress's Lizheng Palace. Empress Changsun must have prepared a vegetarian meal today, and he is going to eat together.

I don't want the queen to just take off her robe for Li Erlang, and before she can sit down on the bed, a chamberlain hurriedly came to report, and the prince of the palace asked to see her.

"Chai Shao? He didn't do anything for his sister in the mansion, what did he do when he came to the palace? Declare. Li Erlang sat on the couch and raised his legs to ask the palace maid to take off his shoes for him, reached out to take the water cup brought by the queen, and took the queen's hand to let him sit down. You're not completely well, get some rest, don't be busy. ”

Empress Eldest Sun smiled softly and sat down next to Li Erlang: "Duke Qian must have encountered something when he entered the palace at this time, let's eat after I see it, is Your Majesty hungry?" I'll let them serve some snacks, and Your Majesty will eat some first. ”

"Hmm." Li Erlang casually agreed, raised his head and drank the water in the cup, and said casually: "Today, Mrs. Li Jing went to the Taoist document and begged me to pardon one of her nephews. ”

"Duchess of Weiguo? She hadn't been in the palace for a long time. Her nephews? Is it the child of the Li family? Wei Guogong's family style has always been strict, and with Mrs. Li here, what trouble did he cause to ask His Majesty to come? The queen poured water for her husband while talking casually.

The words were vague, and it was not clear who it was. said that he had an argument with someone in a restaurant and injured someone. Hmph, it's a restaurant again! It seems that Wei Zheng is right, the atmosphere of the children of the powerful in the capital should be cleaned up! After Li Erlang finished speaking with a cold face, he casually pushed away the dim sum brought by the palace maid.

Empress Changsun was familiar with her husband's temper, waved her hand at the palace maid to let her retreat, gently walked behind her husband and knelt down, gently pinched her shoulders, and said gently: "Wei Guogong dragged the injury and illness to fight Gu Hun, don't let General Li worry about these trivial matters at home." His Majesty instructed Mrs. Li to discipline her more. ”

It was a trivial matter, and Li Erlang agreed indifferently. Lying on the queen's lap with her eyes closed, the eldest grandson gently massaged her husband's head. It's just a cup of tea, and the waiters outside the palace have arrived to report to the Duke of the Kingdom.

Li Erlang turned over and got up, and the queen beckoned the palace maid to put on shoes for His Majesty. Li Erlang walked out of the Lizheng Hall and saw Chai Shao, greeted him, picked a courtyard and walked in. "Is something happening in Brother Chai's mansion?"

"Your Majesty......"

"It's not in the court, you don't have to pay so much courtesy."

"No." Chai Shao bowed, and then approached Li Erlang half a step. "Something did happen in the house today. The old department of Pingyang came to mourn, Erlang knew that those veterans were vulgar, some old grudges, and made some noise, if there was a complaint from the imperial history tomorrow, Erlang would reprimand him. ”

Li Erlang was immediately the emperor, smiled when he heard this, and waved his hand disapprerovingly. knew that Chai Shao would not deliberately enter the palace to find him for these things, and he did not speak, waiting for Chai Shao to continue.

Chai Shao lowered his head and hesitated, then said, "It's a little trivial matter to trouble Erlang." ”

"Say."

Chai Shao said hesitantly: "Hmm...... I went to find Jing Zhaoyin, but ...... Some trouble...... Therefore, the minister had no choice but to trouble His Majesty. ”

Li Erlang frowned and glanced at Chai Shao unhappily: "The queen is still waiting for me to go back to eat, my brother has something to do, but it doesn't matter." ”

Chai Shao waved his hand and saluted: "The minister is ashamed, but the old ministry of Pingyang asked for the door today, and the minister really can't shirk it." The grandson of a veteran had an argument with a powerful man in a restaurant...... Wounded someone...... However, this person has already surrendered to Chang'an County. He was willing to accept punishment, but the veteran was afraid that the powerful man would take revenge on his grandson in prison. So I asked the minister to see if he could be punished with gold, or give some light sentences......"

"That's it?" Li Erlang frowned and looked at Chai Shao, thinking that you ran into the palace for this on your sister's sacrifice day and delayed my dinner. "You are a dignified general, don't Chang'an County give you this face?"

Chai Shao smiled awkwardly, covered his face and said: "Under the rule of Erlang, the officials are clear, and the officials strictly abide by the law and discipline, how dare the ministers ...... Hehe, Jingzhao Governor Chang'an County does not dare to bend the law for personal gain. ”

"Oh, you're going to say that...... You have come to talk to me in person, as long as it is not a murder case, let Jing Zhaoyin judge it as soon as possible. If you should be beaten, you will be punished, and then you will be brought home to be disciplined! Since he is a descendant of an old general, how can he only know how to fight and make trouble! Li Erlang really felt a little hungry, so he was too lazy to talk to Chai Shao anymore, so he taught him a lesson casually, so he waved his hand and asked him to retreat. Walking alone to the Lizheng Palace, I thought to myself why this atmosphere in the capital was suddenly so extravagant and frivolous, and a few days ago, the restaurant made a fuss about beasts hurting people. The sons and daughters of these powerful ...... There is also how the family of the general family goes to the restaurant every day to play and mess around, it seems that the imperial history should be strengthened and disciplined.

Empress Changsun stood at the door waiting for her husband to return, and asked with a smile while welcoming her husband inside: "The conversation is over so quickly, why did the Duke of Qian come here?" ”

"Hey, it's not a big deal...... Li Erlang just sat down, and before he could sit down, he listened to the report from the waiter outside the door: "Your Majesty, Lu Guogong came to restore his life." ”

Li Erlang's legs had just been raised, the palace maid kneeling in front of the couch had just hugged His Majesty's boots, and Empress Changsun had just poured a glass of water, and she was stunned when she heard the words. Empress Eldest Sun looked out of the hall in amazement, thinking to herself why these ministers had chased all these ministers to the harem today. The palace maid dragged His Majesty's legs with both hands, hesitating not knowing whether the boots could be taken off.

Li Erlang's brows furrowed into Sichuan characters, he gasped twice, and tried hard to suppress the anger so that he didn't kick the palace maid in front of him. Pulling back his legs hard, he snorted angrily and sat cross-legged on the couch with his hands on his knees, and the anger on his face gradually appeared.

Empress Eldest Sun saw that her husband was angry, so she hurriedly said softly: "Lu Guogong is upright, if it weren't for the urgency, he wouldn't be so eager and reckless." Jiro should go and have a look. ”

"Hmph, he is outside the city to supervise the two generals to change guards, what can happen!" Having said that, Li Erlang still stood up with his sleeves up, and walked out of the hall with his head down. Empress Changsun followed her to the palace gate and bowed down, and said, "The concubine will heat up the dishes and wait for Erlang." ”

"Hmm......" Li Erlang replied sullenly, and beckoned to pick up and drive back to the Manna Palace.

Cheng Zhijie took two lieutenant generals and stood outside the Ganlu Hall in military uniforms and waited. An adjutant general looked at the distance where the guards were standing, and quietly approached Cheng Zhijie and whispered, "Is it necessary for the general to be in such a hurry?" ”

Cheng Zhijie wisped his beard under his chin, but the roots were pierced like steel needles, no matter how they were, they were pierced. Hearing the words of the adjutant general, he said disappreliantly: "The king's order is completed, return the order immediately, and return the military talisman." Your Majesty should only praise me, can you blame me for delaying him to eat? ”

The adjutant general Na Na was difficult to refute, and said hesitantly: "But the fifth brother said that it was ...... at this time."

Cheng Zhijie glanced at the deputy general and reprimanded: "Lao Wujiu has come back alive, and he can still think of me, so he begs me for such a thing!" Ben is going to be a soldier who can't even hold down the Wei family kid and brings a ball! You eight brothers are from a captain's background! Their wives and children will come to you when they don't encounter anything, and you don't even have this responsibility! How can you convince your brothers! ”

Adjutant General Cheng Yun bowed his head in shame, didn't dare to say more, and peeked at General Cheng for a long time before he explained: "It's not that the last general doesn't want to help the fifth brother, but I don't think I need to rush to this time to resume my life." ”

"Humph!" Cheng Zhijie's two thick eyebrows wrinkled together, and he said hatefully: "Originally, I also wanted to say hello to Chang'an County first, and then find a chance to fish out that kid." When anyone wanted to enter the city, the people I sent to Chang'an County heard the news, and the Wei family had already shamelessly arranged for people to go to prison and harm people! The civil official will not be able to speak again, and let the Wei family go down, and before the general can make a move, the kid will be killed. How will Ben explain to the fifth child when the time comes! ”

"Huh? Is my nephew alright? Cheng Yun hurriedly asked.

"It is said that it was not successful, and Chang'an County is now in a mess, and it is being investigated...... Silence! His Majesty has arrived. Cheng Zhijie solemnly bowed to Bu Yuan with his fists cupped.

Li Erlang was hungry and in a bad mood, so he waved his hand listlessly and said "no courtesy" and went to the palace first. After Li Erlang's case was settled, Cheng Zhijie took the deputy general to salute again, and then presented the good news document, briefly explaining the change of guard between the two governments. Li Erlang unfolded the scroll and looked at the book, and the scroll was approved.

"Well, good errand. I'll give you two days off, go back and have a good rest before returning to the court. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"After a while, I will go to the military department and hand over the military talisman, and then go home. I won't keep you. ”

"No. Belch...... Your Majesty, there is one more thing for the last general......"

Li Erlang was just about to get up, but when he heard the words, he sat back again, looked at Ai Jiang and asked in surprise, "What else is going on?" Come on, the queen is still waiting for me to dine together. ”

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, and your mother forgives your sins. This one...... A little thing. Cheng Zhijie was cheeky, embarrassed to rub his big hands full of thick calluses, and said with a smile: "The last general has a pro-soldier ......"

"Stop!" Li Erlang felt that he had guessed a few points as soon as he saw Cheng Zhijie's virtue, and said angrily: "The imperial court has its own rules for examining merit, if you want to ask for an official for your subordinates, take out real credit, don't play tricks with me here!" ”

Cheng Zhijie hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no." Your Majesty misunderstood, the minister is not asking for favor...... Alas? No, the minister is asking for grace. No, not the one! What does it mean...... It's ......"

Li Erlang was amused by this fool, shook his head helplessly and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Make it clear! ”

"No. That's the case, the minister has a personal soldier...... He has a nephew who is more naughty, and he goes to a restaurant to eat and fights with people. Your Majesty knows that there is no kind of mischief under the minister's hands, and the nephew of the minister's soldiers is not a coward, so ...... Hehe, he injured someone. But this kid is the same as the minister, dare to do it! I went to the county government to surrender, but the beaten side didn't stop, and I still wanted to be in prison...... Uh, Your Majesty? Cheng Zhijie was foaming at the mouth and saying happily, not wanting to look up and see the emperor's face black and ink-stained, so he was so frightened that he quickly stopped his voice, wondering why His Majesty was so angry.

"Hah...... Hehe, hehe...... How many people are fighting and making trouble in this Chang'an County prison, is it possible that there are fights and brawls in restaurants every day in the capital, such young people have nothing to do all day long, and they will fight and make trouble if they don't do anything? Is this how the Manchu ministers educate their children!? If you don't know how to discipline you, I don't need to discipline you! ”

"Your Majesty is angry." The fury of the thunder came without warning, Cheng Zhijie was scolded, regardless of the armor, he knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and didn't dare to say anything more, cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Humph! In one day, when the three first-class national mansions of the dynasty pleaded for their children to make trouble, they begged me to come here! Okay, it's so good to discipline! Come! Li Erlang's anger was hard to quench, ignoring Cheng Zhijie, and ordered to the attendant who came in at the answer: "Pass on my message, go to the Chang'an County Prison to raise people!" First of all, this ......" Li Erlang flipped through the book on the desk, unfolded it and saw a name, and continued: "What is this cloud, it should be Li Yun!" Mention this Li Yun! Also, Chai Shao hasn't gone far yet, you go and catch up with him and ask him what the name of the person he wants to catch is. And you! ”

Li Erlang pointed at Cheng Zhijie, and Cheng Zhijie was so frightened that he tightened his neck: "Who are you trying to save, bring it up together!" Isn't it possible to fight? I'll see who of them is better at fighting! ”

"Your Majesty...... The minister knew that he was wrong. Cheng Zhijie never expected that such a trivial matter would hit the muzzle of the gun, and his intestines were blue.

"Say!" Li Erlang is angry, how can he let him go easily.

"This ...... It seems to be called, called Li Luoyun......" Cheng Zhijie drooped his head, and his usual loud voice was gone, and he said with a hum.

"Written down! And this Li Luoyun, bring it up together! Li Erlang waved his hand to let the waiter retreat, stood up and was about to go back to eat. Just after taking two steps, he suddenly woke up, turned around and glared at Cheng Zhijie, and asked word by word: "You said his name is Li, Luo, Yun!?" ”
