Zhao Ziliang came to the city gate early on the morning of the second day of his appointment as the city gate official, at this time, the city gate came and went pedestrians and cars and horses endlessly, and the crowd waiting to go out of the city and enter the city outside the city was overcrowded, which was mainly because Zhao Ziliang, the new official, took office, whether it was the head of the soldiers or the soldiers, they all wanted to behave better in front of Zhao Ziliang, and they were extra careful to check the pedestrians.

Zhao Ziliang has been standing by with his hands behind his back and watching, until the sun is shining, there are fewer pedestrians, Zhao Ziliang beckoned to Tao Dakun who was on duty today, Tao Dakun took two steps forward and arched his hand: "What does the general command?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "None of these soldiers have no home near the capital? ”

"Well, three of his subordinates are from the state and county, and it seems that two of Lao Wu's subordinates have homes not far from here, what's the matter with the general?" Tao Dakun was stunned for a moment, but still replied.

Tao Dakun is actually not very respectful to Zhao Ziliang, whether it is in his heart or in action, he has long heard that Zhao Ziliang is the general of Dingyuan, but he can be sent to be the general of the city gate, which is obviously degraded, in his opinion, the boss must not be treated to Zhao Ziliang, otherwise it will not be arranged like this, Zhao Ziliang is only afraid that he can only be a city gate general in his life, maybe he will be degraded even lower, for a boss who is not treated by the top and obviously has no future, Tao Dakun does not need to be so respectful.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay. General Ben still has some things to deal with, so I'll leave first, and I'll leave it to you here! Zhao Ziliang said without waiting for Tao Dakun to speak, turned around and left.

Tao Dakun reacted and shook his head, the contempt on his face even more.

Zhao Ziliang rode out of the city and walked in the direction of Zhuangzi, Bai Xiaode and others followed behind, Zhao Ziliang suddenly stopped his horse, and the servants behind him also stopped, Bai Xiaode pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and said: "General." Although you were sent by the emperor to guard the city gates, you can't ignore everything, can you? In case something happens to the city gate, the emperor will have an excuse to embarrass you even more, and this Tao Dakun and that Wu Zhicheng obviously look down on you and don't take you seriously.

Zhao Ziliang said: "Xiaode, you also heard just now that the homes of five soldiers in the Jinguangmen garrison are in the nearby prefectures and counties. You send someone to inquire about where their home is, and then send someone to inform their parents and relatives to come here."

"This ・・・・・・" Bai Xiaode didn't understand what Zhao Ziliang meant, "General, I don't understand what you mean."

Zhao Ziliang said: "Let's just say that General Ben invited them to come over to see how their son is doing here, and the money for the back and forth is paid from General Ben's military salary, and they must come over, if they don't come, they can't come."

Bai Xiaode looked puzzled, and gave up his hand to agree: "No." The subordinates will arrange it when they go back."

Daming Palace. The place where the emperors of the Tang Dynasty lived and handled political affairs.

Li Longji put down the imperial pen, couldn't help twisting his neck, and Concubine Mei, who was making tea on the side, smiled when she saw it: "Your Majesty is tired, the concubine rubs Your Majesty's shoulders."

Li Longji nodded. Laughing: "Good! ”

Concubine Mei rubbed Li Longji's shoulders and neck for a while, and then heard Li Longji say, "Concubine Mei, let's go for a walk outside."

As soon as the two of them walked out of the palace gate, they met the Yuzhen Daoist and the Taizhen Daoist, and Li Longji was very happy to see the two. invited them to take a walk together, and the two female Taoist chiefs readily agreed.

As they walked, they came to the vicinity of the Imperial Horse Warden, when suddenly a horse crashed through the guardrail of the stable. Several grooms in a row ran wild on the meadows of the Imperial Horse Warden.

"It's ・・・・・・ go, go over and have a look!" Li Longji said that he hurriedly threw off his sleeves and strode towards the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and Concubine Mei, Yuzhen, and Taizhen hurriedly followed.

An official emperor unexpectedly appeared in the imperial horse prison, was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects: "Your Majesty, that horse is crazy, it's not safe here, please return to the palace quickly!" ”

Li Longji looked at the horse and exclaimed, "Isn't that my black dragon?" How so? ”

The official smiled helplessly: "Your Majesty doesn't know, this black dragon has been disobedient since it was sent to the Imperial Horse Supervisor, it can eat and drink, but no one can control it, and no one can ride on its back, in the past two months, it has injured more than a dozen of our horsemen in a row, and countless wooden fences have been damaged, and it is only **** material, and it must be made of wine and meat."

Not to mention the others, even Li Longji felt incredible when he heard it, is this him raising a horse or an uncle?

After Li Longji looked at the black dragon that was still running wildly, he asked, "You just said that no one will be allowed to ride it?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Longji really didn't believe in evil when he heard this, he said: "Sure enough, it's a good horse in ten thousand, I really don't believe that no one can ride it, Concubine Mei, come and hold my clothes for me, and take advantage of my interest today to see how I can subdue it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Imperial Horse Prison knelt on the ground, and the official said eagerly: "Your Majesty, this black dragon horse has a violent and abnormal temperament, and only a powerful military general can make it surrender to ・・・・・・."

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Li Longji: "Shut up, are you saying that I am not as strong as a general?" ”

"No, no, no, Your Majesty misunderstood the meaning of the minister, the minister means that Your Majesty's strength lies in controlling the authority of the world, governing the country and the country, to surrender this black dragon horse, it is impossible to make it surrender without far more strength and endurance than ordinary people, if Your Majesty must ride, please let the ministers tame it before letting Your Majesty ride, so as to ensure Your Majesty's safety."

Yang Yu also opened his mouth to persuade at this time: "Your Majesty, this statement is not unreasonable, Your Majesty is the body of ten thousand gold, and the safety of the Tang Dynasty is in danger, there must be no mistakes, if Your Majesty can surrender this horse, it is fine, if you can't surrender, will Your Majesty kill it?" Doesn't Your Majesty love it? Willing to kill it? In this case, Your Majesty might as well give it to General Zhao, at least it can play its own value in the hands of General Zhao, and it can still be hired on the battlefield, instead of dying in this imperial garden! Your Majesty, everyone has their own mission in this world, for example, Your Majesty's mission is to govern the Tang Dynasty and let the people have enough food and clothing. Sister Meifei's mission is to serve Your Majesty well, so that Your Majesty has more energy and a better mood to deal with state affairs, the mission of the ministers is to assist Your Majesty in governing the government, the mission of the people is to grow more food, weave more fabrics, clothes, shoes and hats, the mission of the craftsmen is to forge more weapons, bows and arrows, the mission of the generals and soldiers is to fight for Your Majesty, open up the territory, and the war horses also have their own mission, their mission is to use the generals and cavalry. Let them be able to kill the enemy better, Your Majesty kept such a good horse in captivity here, which is tantamount to depriving it of its mission, whether it is a person or a war horse, without a mission, life is just a walking corpse, how can Your Majesty bear it? Maybe His Majesty is worried that it will die on the battlefield, but isn't it the best place for it to belong? ”

After Yang Yu finished saying this, she suddenly felt a little uneasy, this was the first time she said this to Li Longji. And with a preachy tone, if the emperor is angry, her fate will be miserable.

No one at the scene made a sound, and they were all frightened by Yang Yu's words, preaching to the emperor, isn't it looking for death?

However, Princess Yuzhen was worried that the emperor would be angry with Yang Yu, so she plucked up the courage to intercede for her: "Brother Emperor, Sister Taizhen was confused for a while and said the wrong thing. I also ask the emperor's brother to calm his anger ・・・・・・".

How do you know that Li Longji raised his palm and sighed: "No, Royal Sister, Huan'er is not wrong. She was right, each of us has a mission, and it has its own mission, but I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept this in captivity in this Imperial Horse Prison and deprived it of the opportunity to dominate the field! ”

Speaking of this, Li Longji turned his head and asked Gao Lishi: "That's right." How did Zhao Ziliang do as a goalkeeper in Jinguangmen? ”

Gao Lishi looked at Princess Yuzhen, Yang Yu, Concubine Mei and others, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Ziliang has been in office for more than half a month, but it seems that I heard that he fished for three days and dried nets for two days, and he was not often on duty at Jinguangmen."

"Oh?" Li Longji was only puzzled when he heard this, and the expression on his face did not change.

Li Longji looked at Yang Yu again and asked, "Huan'er, what do you say I should do with this black dragon horse?" ”

Yang Yu made a blessing and said: "The horse belongs to Your Majesty, Your Majesty can deal with it as you want, and it is inconvenient to talk about it."

Li Long basically wanted to talk to Yang Yu more, and wanted to give her the right to dispose of this horse, and at the same time please her, but she didn't accept it, which also made him a little helpless.

After thinking about it, Li Longji said to everyone: "Speaking of which, the real owner of this horse is not me, the big cannibal once wanted to give it to me, but it was robbed by the Tuqi Shi people on the way here, and it was robbed before it was given to me by the big cannibal, so it does not belong to me, and Zhao Ziliang snatched it from the hands of the Tuqi Shi people, so its real owner is Zhao Ziliang, but I took it from Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang is a courtier, I dare not resist my will, I did something wrong!" Lux, send someone to return it to Zhao Ziliang! ”

"No!" Gao Lishi hurriedly agreed, but at this time he was very nervous in his heart, the emperor wanted to return the horse to Zhao Ziliang, what does this mean? Ready to reuse?

Then the emperor asked again; "Then what has Zhao Ziliang been doing lately?"

Gao Lishi said: "He went to Jinguang Gate every once in a while, sometimes he checked in the barracks next to the city gate, and usually stayed in his Zhuangzi in the south of the city to practice martial arts and riding and archery."

Li Longji frowned and said, "Didn't I ask him to guard the city gate and capture the Jiangyang thieves flying around?" How could he stay in the Zhuangzi all day so that he could catch the snitch? Has the snitch been haunting the Jinguang Gate area lately? ”

Colliers replied, "Maybe General Zhao has his own ideas." However, since General Zhao took office, he has not found any snitches in the Jinguangmen area, but ・・・・・・."

"But what?"

"But the snitch appeared in several other gates, sometimes in Mingde Gate, sometimes in Kaiyuan Gate, and sometimes in the area of Tonghua Gate and Yanxing Gate."

The emperor was furious: "According to what you say, as long as this snitch appears at which gate, I have to transfer Zhao Ziliang to which gate?" ”

Gao Lishi knelt down in horror and said: "The old slave is guilty of capital crimes, capital crimes!" ”

"Hmph・・・・・・" Li Longji flicked his sleeves and left, and the other concubines and chamberlains followed.

On this day, Zhao Ziliang took Bai Xiaode and others to Jinguangmen to be on duty, and saw a horse tied to the big tree next to him, wasn't that his Wuli horse? Ulima was also excited when he saw him, and Zhao Ziliang looked for Tao Dakun suspiciously and asked, "Why is the horse here?" ”

Tao Dakun was a lot more respectful this time, and arched his hand: "General, this is sent by someone from the palace, and it is said to be returned to the general."

I can't help but say that this Ulima can be regarded as a lost recovery, although I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the emperor's gourd, but Zhao Ziliang is still very happy that Ulima is back with him. (To be continued.) )
