Chapter 131: Reward
The gentleman has the beauty of an adult, since Fantianyin has recognized the owner of Ashina's bone sword, Yu Lang also gave him the grinding stone knife, and passed on the mantra of the seventy-two changes of the imperial grinding stone knife to him. With Yu Lang's current cultivation, the grinding stone knife is no longer so helpful to him, and it is enough to have this wooden sword planted in his hand.
Although Yu Lang's expectations for Ashina's bone sword were already very high before, he still found that he underestimated this child's talent and perseverance in the process of passing on the art. It only took less than half a day for the bone sword to master the principles of cultivation, and with the help of Yu Lang, after penetrating the Qi Sea, his cultivation was even more in a thousand days, and he arrived at the Sea Wandering Realm in three days, plus the increase of the Grinding Stone Knife Martial Spirit Pool, he could also compete with ordinary cultivators who broke through the Void Initial Realm.
Yu Lang remembered Li Yu's newly recruited apprentice Lin Shuisheng, and unconsciously saved the idea of letting the bone sword defeat Lin Shuisheng in the future for himself to have a long face, so he did his best when passing on the skills, not only to let the bone sword have the ability to protect himself, but to go towards the goal of cultivating him into a top master.
The bone sword is quite similar to Yu Lang back then, he loves to ponder, and often puts forward some ideas that make Yu Lang feel novel, of course, most of these ideas are useless, and it is Yu Lang's master who will affirm his courage to think.
Qin Xiyan's appearance of guarding Ashina's bone sword cultivation on the side always reminded Yu Lang of Qingqing, and remembered how he practiced hard when he was thirteen or fourteen years old.
Everything that should be taught has been taught, and the rest depends on how well the bone sword is digested. After all, the master led the way into the door, and the cultivation is in the individual. Yu Lang pinched the day, and it was time to leave for Chang'an, and at this time, returning to Chang'an should be able to meet Gao Xianzhi's army, pretending not to desert.
After Ashina Bone Sword solemnly said goodbye to Yu Lang, he said solemnly: "Although you are a Tang person, Bone Sword respects you very much, and I have something to tell you." ”
"What's the matter?" Yu Lang was a little surprised by the sharp momentum on this child's body.
"One day, I, Ashina Bone Sword, will lead the steppe wolf to ride into Chang'an City, and the hatred of the country will be lost." The bone sword was sonorous, and then handed the scimitar in his hand to Yu Lang, "If Master doesn't want to see that day, kill me first, so as not to regret and be sad in the future." ”
Yu Lang laughed: "Although I am a Tang person, my vision is not so narrow, standing in your position, I deserve praise for having this enthusiasm, as for whether I can hold Chang'an City, it is a matter for the teacher, you don't have to be soft then." ”
Yu Lang has never liked to use factions to divide friends and foes, and if the apprentice grows into a respectable opponent in the future, it will be a happy thing: "But you need to remember that there is nothing right or wrong in the war between the two countries, and it is good to rely on your ability, but if you do unrighteous deeds and kill innocents indiscriminately, you are not worthy of being my apprentice, and I will take your head with my own hands!" ”
The bone sword clenched his fists: "Master's teachings in the past few days, Ashina Bone Sword will never forget it, not only the method of cultivation, but the principles of life taught by the master are the most precious." ”
Yu Lang smiled and waved his hand at them, and before the afterimage dissipated, the people had already flown far away.
Let go of his hands and feet, and show his cultivation, Yu Lang's flight speed at this time was extremely terrifying, and he was shocked that countless Nangui geese collapsed.
Catching up with the triumphant team of the Western Expeditionary Army, Yu Lang changed into armor and looked at himself in the bronze mirror, only feeling that the experience in the desert was like a dream.
The envoys of the seventy-two kingdoms of Zhuhu invited the envoys to enter Chang'an together with the western expeditionary army.
Xuanzong held a grand court meeting in front of the Hanyuan Palace, and the three thousand dancing girls led by Yang Yuhuan personally presented a very shocking gluttonous feast to the envoys and civil and military officials of the seventy-two countries of Zhuhu.
The court meeting dispersed, and the envoys were taken back to rest by the officials, while Gao Xianzhi, Yu Lang and others went to the Xuanzheng Hall to face the saints.
As soon as he stepped into the Xuanzheng Palace, Yu Lang saw an old friend, who was already dressed in a purple robe and wore a goldfish bag, and he was a high-ranking official of the third grade.
Li Dahu smiled: "Master Hou, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Yu Lang's heart was shocked, he had only left Chang'an for more than two years, what means did he use to climb to such a position?
Li Linfu hurriedly came over and said to Yu Lang: "This is the newly appointed Zhongshu Ling Li. ”
The Zhongshu order is the left phase, that is, the deputy phase.
Li Linfu is the right minister, and his official position is to serve in the middle.
In other words, Li Dahu is now the second-in-command of civil officials and one of the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Dahu is only two or three years older than Yu Lang, and the prime minister in his early twenties is simply absurd.
Yu Lang quickly calmed down, and now his grade is lower than Li Dahu, and he didn't dare to lose his manners in this Xuanzheng Palace, so he had to grit his teeth and salute.
Li Dahu leaned into Yu Lang's ear and said, "Huangfu Weiming has been eliminated by me and Li Linfu together. ”
Yu Lang clenched his fists.
Li Dahu didn't think Yu Lang was angry enough, and continued: "Li Qing is now my wife, and I am also Lord Li Linfu's son-in-law. ”
Yu Lang slapped Li Dahu in the face.
The civil and military officials in the Xuanzheng Hall were all shocked, even His Majesty the Emperor himself could not slap the prime minister on such an occasion, is this General Yu crazy?
At this time, Xuanzong just walked out of the inner hall, and his brows were furrowed: "Yu Ziyou, what are you doing?" ”
When the dynasty beat the head of the civil officials, even if Yu Lang made great achievements, no matter how much Xuanzong appreciated his talent, he had to pick him up in an official uniform, and even went to prison.
Li Dahu covered his face and smiled: "Hou Ye and Jing Tang are brothers, and they have been used to playing around since childhood, but it is just the usual way of greeting each other, and it doesn't matter." ”
Li Dahu is now in an important position as prime minister, and he also calls himself by the word "table", Li Dahu's word Jingtang.
As he spoke, Li Dahu slapped Yu Lang on the face.
This slap infused with internal breath, more than ten times heavier than Yu Lang's hand, Yu Lang's mouth and nose were bleeding, and Yu Lang calmed down after receiving this slap, and he must not ruin his years of hard work because of impulse, and immediately laughed: "Yes, it's just our old play." ”
Xuanzong is by no means a stupid person, how can he not see the tense relationship between the two, but he cherishes the talents of these two people very much, and is willing to pretend not to see it: "Okay, the two of them are both pillars of the society, and they are both from the door of the Moon Washing Academy, which is also a fate." Pass on my order, Chen Wuning of the Moon Washing Academy has made meritorious contributions to cultivating talents for the country, and he will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold. ”
Li Linfu was quite upset with his son-in-law, and said with his own identity: "Your Majesty, Yu Ziyou openly beat the Sanpin courtiers, according to the laws ......of the Tang Dynasty."
"Li Xiang, our eyes are not blind, just now this Li Jingtang also fought back, they themselves said it was a joke, why should Li Xiang be aggressive?" Gao Xianzhi naturally wouldn't watch Yizi being bullied, and immediately stepped out of the military attache queue and said.
One is Li Linfu's son-in-law, the other is Gao Xianzhi's righteous son, the other is the youngest Zuo Xiang of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is an immortal hero who opened up the territory for the country. None of the hundreds of officials dared to mix in this muddy pool, and they kept silent.
"Okay, okay, I've dealt with this matter, let's get it done." Xuanzong is also a big head, but he is happy to see this scene, if Yu Ziyou and Li Jingtang are in harmony, he will have a headache, with the current status of these two people, it is unimaginable to collude, and now this is also very good.
After figuring out this section, Xuanzong was also in high spirits: "The Western Expeditionary Army traveled thousands of miles, defeated Xiao Bolu, shocked the countries of the Western Regions, and seventy-two envoys came to Chang'an to ask for surrender. This matter is a grand event in the Tianbao year, and Gao Xianzhi and Yu Ziyou should be rewarded! ”
"Gao Xianzhi is a special advance, and he will be the general of Jin Wuwei of the left wing, and he will stay in Chang'an and stay in the court from now on."
Tejin is a second-grade literary officer, more respected than the left and right phases, although there is no real job, it also shows the love of Xuanzong. General Zuo Jin Wuwei is a martial artist of the third grade, which is almost the limit of what a military general can get.
"Thank God!" Gao Xianzhi solemnly thanked him, this reward was not unexpected by him, but the will to stay in the court caught him a little off guard.
"Yu Ziyou added a thousand cows to General Longwu, named the champion general, and gave the Marquis of Guiren a knighthood, and received the territory of Guiren from afar."
The Long Wu Army is one of the forbidden armies, General Qianniu Long Wu is a real post from the third grade, the champion general is a third-rank dismissal, the Marquis of Quy Nhon is a third-rank knight, and even a knight with territory, Xuanzong's reward for Yu Lang exceeded everyone's expectations.
Gao Xianzhi has led the troops for many years, and he has already made great achievements, so it is not unusual to get this reward, Yu Lang is only a twenty-year-old young man, although the merit of defeating Xiao Bolu is great, this reward is still too heavy.
Xuanzong personally helped Yu Lang, who knelt on the ground to thank him: "The Hou of Guiren is my Tang Dynasty pillar stone, and he has a reputation as a god of war in the desert. ”
This reward actually contains Xuanzong's apology, before the army set out for the expedition, he promised to wait for Yu Lang to marry Li Qing, this promise is now impossible to fulfill, for fear of hurting the feelings between the monarch and the minister, Xuanzong deliberately increased. As for the marriage of the princess of Tubo, Xuanzong also wanted to take a break, after all, the Tang Dynasty won the battle, and Tubo did not dare to make any changes in a short period of time, and Yu Lang also needed time to digest the reality that he had no chance with Li Qing.
After the court meeting was dispersed, civil and military officials competed to befriend Yu Lang, a young marquis who was very favored, but Yu Lang just responded lukewarmly one by one, and had no intention of making friends with his henchmen.
When he walked to the Suzaku Gate, he happened to meet the sedan chair of the two Xiangye, Li Dahu deliberately opened the curtain and walked out: "Tut, the champion general, it's really a great majesty, but the pain of losing the beauty, can this reward make up for it?" ”
Yu Lang looked at Li Dahu coldly: "We have been brothers for many years, and the one I trust the most is you, why are you like this?" ”
Li Dahu glanced up at the clouds in the sky, and said leisurely: "You and Qingqing were kind to me back then, I won't let you do anything sorry for Qingqing, the only woman you can marry in this life is Qingqing." Other women, there is one I grab one. ”
Yu Lang sighed: "Childish." ”
Yu Lang knew that Li Dahu also had Qingqing in his heart, but he didn't expect his love to be so deep, so deep that it was almost morbid.
"The battle between you and me has just begun." Li Dahu seemed to have some expectation in his eyes, and seemed to be quite regretful, "By the way, call me Li Jingtang in the future, and keep the brother Li Dahu in your memory, just treat me as another person." ”
