Li Erlang ate an unpleasant lunch and left the Lizheng Palace full of worries, but he did not tell the queen about Li Luoyun. Sitting and walking back to the Ganlu Palace, before his buttocks could sit firmly, he saw the attendant come in and report: "Your Majesty, Lu Guogong is outside the palace, please see you." ”

Slightly surprised, his brows furrowed slightly: "This guy, why did he come back again?" Xuan~"

"No." The inner attendant bowed and took three steps back, turned around and walked outside the palace gate, and said to Cheng Zhijie, who was standing on the side of the palace gate: "Your Majesty Xuanlu Guogong is here, and Guogong is invited." ”

"Uh-huh." Cheng Zhijie took off his helmet and put it in the crook of his arm, raised his hand to wipe the fine sweat on his forehead, and walked into the hall with his head held high.

Almost at the same time, the red carriage arrived at the gate of the palace and handed a sign to the queen mother. Hongfu elegantly and generously stepped off the car, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the war horse led by the guards on duty outside the palace gate, frowning slightly, recognizing that it was Cheng Zhijie's mount. "This bastard, make up your mind quickly." The dissatisfied belly in his heart slandered: "You are good at muddying the waters, if you dare to make trouble for the old lady, my aunt and grandmother will put your mount in the big tiger cage!" ”

Red Whisk went down to the Lizheng Hall under the guidance of the inner supervisor. The prisoner car escorting Li Luoyun also arrived in front of the palace gate under the urging of the sweaty imperial envoy. Li Luoyun was helped out of the prisoner car and looked up at the magnificent Chengtian Gate. Under the gaze of the guards wearing bright light armor on both sides, they silently cooperated with the yacha to bring heavy shackles. The arms couldn't help but fall an inch, and the whole person looked a little less energetic.

Back in the palace, the imperial envoy finally breathed a sigh of relief, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face, tidied up his clothes, watched Li Luoyun bring the shackles, and pretended to be reserved and handed over the edict to the prison guard. Li Luoyun was escorted by the guards and followed the attendants to the Manna Palace.

Besides, Cheng Zhijie, before stepping into the Ganlu Palace, he made a hurried appearance, and without waiting for Li Erlang to ask, he clenched his fists and shouted: "Your Majesty, the Baxia Battalion has appeared in the capital!" ”

Li Erlang watched a foaming star draw an arc and fall on the desk in front of him, staring at Cheng Zhijie with a sharp eye, and his temples jumped suddenly. He took a deep breath and asked angrily, "That's why you're here?" I already know about it! ”

"Ah...... Your Majesty knows. Cheng Zhijie showed a sincere smile, scratched his messy bun embarrassedly and said, "Your Majesty is so quick news." When the minister heard the news in the middle of the road, he immediately sent his horse back to report to His Majesty, but he didn't expect His Majesty to have heard about it. So what is Your Majesty going to do? ”

"What to do?" Li Erlang glanced at Cheng Zhijie, saw through the thoughts of the love general, continued to write the book, and said casually: "They are all people of the Tang Dynasty, are they still not allowed to enter the capital?" What's more, they can mourn Pingyang, they are also people who know kindness and righteousness, and they value love and righteousness, can I still embarrass them for some old grievances? ”

"Uh...... Your Majesty naturally has a heart for the whole world and embraces the world. But...... Baxia Camp ...... Back then, they really didn't give face! Not to mention that the minister was taught military discipline by Princess Zhao later, the minister heard that when the first emperor raised troops, His Majesty and Princess Zhao attacked Chang'an together, it was even more excessive...... "I don't know what Cheng Zhijie has in mind, looking at His Majesty's cold face, he scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry, as if he couldn't immediately lead troops to arrest people back, and kept turning over the old accounts.

Thinking of the first time he dealt with the attack on Chang'an and the Baxia Battalion, Li Erlang couldn't write anymore, so he couldn't help but glance at Cheng Zhijie, threw the pen on the table, and said in a flat tone: "What if it's too much, what if you feel aggrieved." If you don't do it, you can't do it as well. Force...... Back then, although I was the main general, Pingyang was the auxiliary army. But if I lose the first two, can I still rely on the power to suppress Pingyang and admit my mistake? ”

"Your Majesty is to favor Princess Zhao. So there is a deliberate concession ......"

"Not really." Li Erlang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, leaned back and leaned on the support table. Maybe it's because the things you encounter today are all related to Princess Pingyang, and at this time, in the face of Cheng Zhijie, a close confidant and favorite general, she slowly has some conversation: "Pingyang is not an ordinary woman. If it weren't for the daughter's body, and later married and had children, I felt that the third sister's military strategy should not be under Li Jing. ”

What Li Erlang didn't say was that if it weren't for Pingyang being his daughter, I am afraid he would also be a strong contender for the throne. It was not only him Li Erlang who made Li Jiancheng jealous.

Isn't it?

With the little wealth sold, he subdued the rebels and recruited a group of thieves, which can be said to be a self-made business, bringing up an army of 70,000 in just a few months! Among them, the co-optation of the family forces, the subduing of the local heroes, and the appeasement of the mountain bandits and robbers. These three have been operating almost in no particular order, for a few short months. However, although the Great Sui at that time experienced Yang Xuangan's rebellion and the rebellion of rebels in various places after the failure of the conquest of Goryeo, it would not let it slowly develop and grow in Guanzhong.

But in this way, there are almost all enemies, and wolves are surrounding the land. Recruit rebels, while organizing an army, while attacking cities and plundering land. The tens of thousands of troops gathered in a short period of time were not a rabble, and after successive victories, they also won the support of the people. What kind of leadership charisma and military talent is this?

Times make heroes.

A girl who has just turned twenty-eight years old to be married, even if she has practiced arching and riding since she was a child, she will never have the opportunity to lead the troops to fight. If there is no persecution of the times, if it is not a natural genius, there is really no reason to explain that Princess Pingyang Zhao has grown from nothing to the commander of an army of 70,000 in just a few months.

"Female streamers." If there are any more pretentious men who use these four words to comment on Princess Pingyang Zhao, it is really self-inflicted......

"It's a pity...... If it weren't for the jealousy of the talent...... The third sister must be a pillar of my dynasty. ”

Cheng Zhijie just sat down on his knees, listened to His Majesty's emotion, stroked his beard and said, "Well, if the princess is still there, the Chai Zhewei brothers may be able to compare with my sons." ”

Li Erlang was laughed angrily by Cheng Zhijie's boastful words, and pointed to this triumphant bastard who was about to speak, only to listen to the attendants outside the palace: "Your Majesty, the criminal Li Luoyun has been brought." ”

"Oh? Have you already been convicted, bring it in. ”

Without waiting for the waiter to retreat, another person came in and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the secretary is still the secretary, and the eldest grandson is asking to see you outside the palace." ”

"Mowgli is here too?" Li Erlang was surprised, glanced at Cheng Zhijie, who was looking around, and said meaningfully: "If Wuji also speaks for that kid, there will be four......

Cheng Zhijie wanted to pretend to be stupid, but he could only laugh a few times at His Majesty's eyes, and muttered softly: "Lord Eldest Sun...... Probably not, it doesn't have anything to do with it......"

"Humph! That's hard to say! Li Erlang knew that if the eldest grandson Wuji was also here for Li Luoyun, I am afraid it was simply to get the medicinal wine. Today's events have to be so troubled that everyone knows about it, and he waved his hand in annoyance and said, "Come in together." ”

Li Luoyun stood at the foot of the steps outside the Ganlu Palace, the afternoon sun was a little scorching, the shackles on his hands were a little too heavy, and the Taiji Palace was a little too big, just standing for a moment, Luo Yun felt that his clothes were going to be sweaty. The purple-robed official who had just passed stood under the eaves of the corridor on the side of the hall gate, and kept observing Luo Yun from the corner of his eye. Luo Yun also looked at him all the time, Luo Yun didn't envy him, but he was wearing a purple robe goldfish bag when he was young, but he was very envious that he could stand under the corridor and not bask in the sun in the shadows. Because Luo Yun is a criminal, he is not qualified to wait by the temple gate without being summoned. And there is not even a tree in the temple of manna......

Fortunately, the chamberlain returned soon. The purple-robed official stepped into the palace gate first, and then the chamberlain walked down a few steps and beckoned to Li Luoyun, or to the guards who were pressed to send him. Luo Yun was pushed and staggered, grabbing the shackles and stepping up the steps step by step.

"Li Luoyun, a native of Lijiazhai in Zhouzhi County, meet His Majesty the Emperor, long live Your Majesty!" With a scandium thud, the iron shackles fell to the floor first, and then Li Luoyun bent his knees and bowed honestly, bowed his head to the ground, and waited for it to fall.

Li Erlang twisted his green beard and was silent, Cheng Zhijie and the eldest grandson Wuji sat on both sides, and the three eyes were fixed on Li Luoyun and kept glancing. Silent......

This eerie silence made the living quarters who had taken refuge in the corner silently recording in surprise poke their heads out from behind the screen and peeked at the situation in the hall.

'Tick'

Li Erlang clearly saw the sweat on Li Luoyun's head dripping onto the floor, coughed lightly, and said, "Get up." Someone, take off his shackles. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Luoyun bowed his head to thank him as if he had been granted amnesty, and straightened up to let the guards unshackle him. Out of the corner of his eye, he observed the three people in the hall, Cheng Zhijie had already seen it, but he didn't expect to appear here again. The purple-robed official didn't know him, but with Cheng Zhijie by his side, he looked more elegant and handsome, and the official authority between his eyebrows and eyes was hidden. And the main seat should be His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't dare to look at it in a hurry, Luo Yun only felt that it was really ...... Young......

"Li Luoyun ......"

"The kid is here."

"Who are you Li Zhenping?"

Luo Yun didn't expect the emperor to ask this in the first sentence, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment before answering: "It's my father." ”

"You are not all born burly, why did you give birth to such a ...... Weak boy ......"

Luo Yun could guess that Cheng Zhijie's departure was definitely not a good word, but he didn't know how to answer this question. Li Jiazhai is indeed full of strong men, just because he is thin, but he never thinks there is anything wrong with this. I could only say embarrassedly: "Maybe it's because the kid has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he hasn't grown up......"

Cheng Zhijie still didn't give up: "Look at your little body...... It's not my father. Your father was also a person who played the halberd back then! The hated iron did not make steel, pointed at Li Luoyun and said, "Look at you!" With a broken iron chain, they are sweating profusely! It's really unproductive! ”

Li Luoyun was embarrassed by Cheng Zhijie's words, his face flushed, and he silently lowered his head. But I heard the purple-robed officer on the right side speak: "General Cheng's words are wrong. Wuji feels that being burly and tall without being born does not mean that he has no ability. Of course, I'm not referring to the study of books and books. General Cheng didn't refute for the time being, and listened to Wuji finish speaking. ”

Seeing that His Majesty was also looking at him, the eldest grandson Wuji bowed his head to signal, turned his head to look at Li Luoyun, and asked in an unhurried tone: "Li Luoyun, although you are weak in appearance, you must be outstanding in other talents, otherwise how can you suppress those fierce relatives in the Baxia camp." How could he defeat more than 20 servants of the Wei family and the county government in Zhanlulou one after another, but he was unharmed and retreated. Your confession has been read by the officer, but the officer still wants to hear you explain to His Majesty and the officer in person, how did you do it? ”

Li Erlang and Cheng Zhijie still didn't know about this matter, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but be interested, and looked at Li Luoyun again to confirm that he didn't look like he had martial arts. The people in the Baxia Battalion can indeed fight, so Li Luoyun, as the son of the commander of the Baxia Battalion, shouldn't he be a tiger father and a dog?

But seeing Li Luoyun raised his head in astonishment and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, he asked blankly, "Baxia camp?" What is the tyrant camp? Do those people have anything to do with the kids? ”
