Chapter 233: Overjoyed
"Ahh An He screamed in disappointment, his heart was full of chagrin, and he didn't miss a few times after playing, but why did the emperor have a business here?
"Hahaha~, what are you doing, do you want to plot against Captain Changsun?"
Li Xiaojiu laughed when he looked at the embarrassed appearance of the eldest grandson Wuji, his attention was all attracted by the saltpeter powder that flew out, and he didn't notice the change in the teacup on the table at all. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Captain Changsun forgives his sins, and Anhe is wrong." Although An He was full of disappointment, he did not forget the etiquette and apologized to the eldest grandson Wuji.
The eldest grandson Wuji patted the saltpeter on his body, and it was not good to attack in front of the emperor, so he had to say against his will:
"It doesn't matter! Anyway! ”
"Huh? This...... Can this really be? ”
At this moment, Li Jing, who was beside Li Shiji, suddenly took two steps forward, his eyes staring at the teacup on the table and muttering to himself, with an expression of disbelief.
Although he had heard his grandson Li Jingye talk about the magic of Anhe, he was still surprised to see it with his own eyes.
Li Shimin and eldest grandson Wuji were also attracted by Li Shiji's appearance, and when they saw the teacup on the table, they were immediately startled, only to see that the teacup under the sleeve just now had formed a piece of crystal clear ice, and there were still a few pieces of tea frozen in the brown ice cube, and there was a trace of cold air coming out of the ice.
"This ...... This ......"
Li Xiaojiu rubbed his eyes with his hand, he couldn't believe it, and finally he reached out and picked up the teacup, and after feeling the biting cold, he believed that he was really not dreaming, and the eldest grandson Wuji's performance was similar, just pinching his arm vigorously.
"Hehe~" Seeing the appearance of the emperor and Li Shiji and the eldest grandson Wuji, An He couldn't hold back any longer, covered his mouth and laughed, and the frustration of not succeeding in the trick just now was swept away.
"Anhe, what the hell is going on, how do you turn water into ice?"
Li Shimin asked with a puzzled expression.
"Saltpeter? Could it be ......" Li Shiji frowned and took the teacup on his table, and the eldest grandson Wuji also thought of this, and poured the remaining saltpeter in the bag into the teacup.
"Alas~, it's really boring!"
An He saw that the two old guys had already guessed their tricks, and muttered to themselves very dissatisfied.
Although there is not much saltpeter left in the bag, it is enough for a glass of water to freeze, and after a while, the water begins to feel cold, and fine ice slag appears. Seeing their guesses come true, Li Shiji and Eldest Sun Wuji were both ecstatic, and sparks were about to spark in their eyes when they looked at An He.
Li Xiaojiu looked at the teacup in Li Shiji's hand that was slowly frozen, first in shock, thinking of the current situation in Jiannan Dao, and then slowly turning into ecstasy, and finally couldn't help but start laughing loudly, and shouted while laughing:
"God bless Datang~! God bless me in the Tang Dynasty! Hahahaha~"
In the Liangyi Hall of Taiji Palace, a large-scale banquet is now being held, and the objects of the banquet are General Niu and a meritorious soldier who have returned from victory, and some other civil and military officials are accompanied by various princes.
This morning, General Niu rushed to Chang'an with his people, and Li Xiaojiu personally went out of the city for ten miles and held a very grand welcoming ceremony to show his condolences to the soldiers of Jiannan.
After the ceremony was completed, under the leadership of Li Xiaojiu, the Jiannan soldiers entered Chang'an through the Mingde Gate, and then through the Vermilion Bird Street, and entered the imperial city amid the cheers of countless Chang'an people. After entering the imperial city, the first thing is to sacrifice the prisoners to the Taimiao, as long as the battle is won, this procedure must be indispensable. Among the more than 10,000 Tubo people captured this time, many of them were Tibetan nobles, and these people were the main targets of this prisoner sacrifice, but Li Xiaojiu only executed a few more important nobles, and the others were escorted back to the prisoner of war camp.
The protagonist of the banquet in the palace is, of course, General Niu Jinda Niu.
With a few cups of good Wuliangye drunk, the atmosphere of the banquet entered a climax, and it was no longer stereotypical and orderly. As the protagonist, General Niu has been pulled aside by Cheng Zhijie's old comrades-in-arms to fight for wine, and those returning meritorious soldiers are also surrounded by a group of good deeds, asking them about the details of the battle with Tubo.
As a lieutenant general, An He of course also has to attend the banquet, but except for a glass of wine to the general Niu just now, An He has never moved the place, but his eyes have been paying attention to the group of soldiers who have returned from Jiannan, and he still has something to do when he comes here today.
Since he performed the trick of saltpeter and ice, he was greeted by Li Xiaojiu's scolding.
This stinky scolding of An He was a little inexplicable, and he couldn't figure out what he had done wrong, he only heard Li Xiaojiu scolding them for not knowing the severity, and he didn't know what good things he encountered and reported them to him, who was the emperor, and almost led to misleading the country and the people, An He was confused. However, after scolding, Li Xiaojiu gave An He a lot of rewards, including a courtyard, a hundred fields and a hundred taels of gold, etc., anyway, the rewards were very rich, and then they were driven out.
Later, Anhe finally understood what was going on, it turned out that it was still a disaster for saltpeter to make ice, after learning that saltpeter could make ice, Li Xiaojiu was ecstatic, Jiannan's Guanzhong generals were mostly sick because of the heat, if there was this saltpeter made of ice to cool down, the situation would definitely be greatly improved, so he asked people to send this method to Songzhou quickly.
However, after scolding, Li Xiaojiu still rewarded and punished clearly, and after scolding, he rewarded An He who found saltpeter to make ice.
Seeing that the banquet was almost underway, the group of people around the soldiers slowly dispersed, An He walked to a meritorious soldier with a cup, this person was burly and stocky, the muscles on his body were bulging high, and he couldn't even cover up his wide clothes, and he should be a rare fierce general on the battlefield.
"Dare to ask what this brother is called?"
An He stepped forward and saluted and asked.
When Brother Meng saw the four-grade general uniform on An He's body, he was immediately startled, and hurriedly stood up and saluted:
"The last general Xi Jun buys, he doesn't dare to be a general with such a big gift!"
"Hehe, Brother Xi is polite, all the soldiers fought bloodily in Jiannan, in exchange for the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty, as a prince, I thank my brother, is there anything else to deserve?"
An He desperately tried his best to get close to each other.
"Uh~" This Xi Junmai is not a person who is good at speaking, of course, it is impossible to say Anhe, although he still feels inappropriate in his heart, but he still can't speak when he opens his mouth.
"I don't know where Brother Xi is from, and what is his official position now?"
An He saw that this person had a simple temperament and was a good person, so he sat next to him with a smile and patted the other party on the shoulder and asked. (To be continued.) )
