Li Zhen led Long Yu and his party into the city. Hurry quickly, and soon arrive outside the Shangshu Mansion. Because Li Zhen has been unkempt for half a month, with stubble, messy hair, and shabby clothes, the guards guarding the door can hardly recognize Li Zhen. Fortunately, these guards guarding the door were all instructed to return to Beijing, so they learned that the person who came was Li Zhen's identity, and directly invited Li Zhen, Long Xi and others into the house, not daring to be the slightest disrespect.

Gui Liang, Da Fu Jin, Zhilan and others got the news and immediately came out to greet them.

In the hall, the guests and hosts are seated.

Gui Liang and Da Fu Jin sat directly above the hall, and Li Zhen and Zhilan sat next to each other.

Long Xi and the others were placed in the mansion and had already gone to rest.

At this moment, Zhilan, with a big belly, sat next to Li Zhen, her eyes were soft, with infinite love in her eyes, staring at Li Zhen vigorously, unwilling to leave for a moment. She looked at Li Zhen's tired cheeks and messy stubble, and she was a little worried, more sweet and stable.

Because Li Zhen came to Beijing, her heart hanging in mid-air also fell to the ground.

Gui Liang said: "Hongyi, how is the battle on the front line? ”

Li Zhen replied: "It's going well!" Several victories were fought in a row, and none of them were defeated. ”

Gui Liang stroked his beard with satisfaction and continued: "Remember, the war on the front line cannot be ignored, because the war on the front line is your lifeline. If you win battles on the front line, you will gain the favor of the emperor. If you lose the battle, the emperor's favor for you will decline. Don't look at the current scenery, reflect and reflect. Not only that, but you also have to think about ......"

Gui Liang chattered, but Da Fu Jin was impatient.

Especially Da Fujin looked at his daughter and looked at Li Zhen with blank eyes, but the old man next to him ignored the chatter and kept talking, which was a big scene.

Da Fu Jin coughed lightly twice, and interjected: "Master, my son-in-law has just arrived non-stop from the camp in Jiangbei, and it has been a long journey, and it is very hard. You let him go down and rest, and when he is rested, you can discuss the affairs of officialdom well. You see, Hongyi's eyes are still bloodshot? ”

Gui Liang nodded, actually seeing Zhilan's eyes full of hope.

Immediately, Gui Liang said: "Haha, the old man won't bother you little couple, go and rest." ”

Li Zhen immediately said goodbye and walked towards the backyard with Zhilan.

Gui Liang looked at Li Zhen's departing back, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, stroked the long beard under his chin, and said with a satisfied smile: "The old man is old, but he has such a son-in-law who can fight but is good to his daughter, and this son-in-law can be a man and an official." Plus my daughter is pregnant with twins again, okay, okay! God hangs the curtain old man! ”

Da Fujin looked serious and said, "Master, although you have a good son-in-law, you still have to find a way to transfer your son-in-law back to Beijing as soon as possible." After Zhilan gave birth to a child, her body was weak and she couldn't be long on the run, so she definitely had to stay in Beijing to raise her body. But Hongyi still has to go to war, in my opinion, this man can't fight and kill, and it is most suitable to be an official in Beijing, so that Hongyi and his daughter can get along well. My daughter was there for us and it was easy for her to come home and visit us. ”

Gui Liang shook his head lightly and said, "Madam, why don't you understand the old man you said? It's just that the emperor wants Hongyi to make a sharp sword, and he won't let Li Zhen enter the court. If Hongyi comes back, it will be a sword in the sheath, which is not what the emperor wants to see. Besides, the problem of bandits has not been solved, and it is impossible for Hongyi to come back. ”

Da Fu Jin sighed and said, "Good things are grinding! ”

The two of them sat in the hall, and everything you said and I said revolved around Li Zhen and Zhilan, and it was more about how to transfer Li Zhen back.

"Master, someone from the palace has come!"

Outside the hall, a guard quickly ran in.

When Gui Liang heard this, he immediately greeted him with Dafujin and welcomed the eunuchs from the palace into the palace. After some conversation, Gui Liang learned that the emperor had summoned Li Zhen. Immediately, Gui Liang sent someone to call Li Zhen out of the backyard. Li Zhen didn't have time to change his clothes, he still had a dusty face, and after seeing the eunuch who passed the decree, he arched his hand and said, "Father-in-law, what does the emperor command?" ”

The eunuch said eagerly: "The emperor sent Admiral Li to the palace to meet him, the emperor is still waiting in the palace, the time is urgent, please set off immediately, so as not to delay the time." ”

Li Zhen said directly: "Father-in-law, please!" ”

Li Zhen and the eunuch left the Shangshu Mansion and went straight to the palace. The two first entered the palace, and then continued to walk, and after arriving at the harem, Li Zhen, under the leadership of the eunuch, wandered around, and finally came to the gate of the Chuxiu Palace where Cixi was located.

The eunuch said his goodbye and turned to leave.

Li Zhen entered the room and saw Xianfeng sitting on the edge of the bed, kneeling on one knee, clenching his fists and saying, "Minister Li Zhen to meet the emperor!" This time, the minister was able to return to Beijing to wait for Zhilan to give birth, thanks to the benevolence of our emperor, so that the minister and his wife had time to get together, and the minister thanked the emperor Longen. As he spoke, Li Zhen saluted again. At the same time, Li Zhen also noticed the situation of Xianfeng, Xianfeng at this time was still a sick seedling, and he did not get better at all.

"Aiqing is flat!"

Xianfeng waved his hand, but his eyes kept motioning for Cixi to watch.

Because at this time, Li Zhen's image is impressively embarrassed. At the same time, Xianfeng put on a serious expression and said solemnly: "Hongyi, I summoned you to the palace today, mainly to inquire about the front-line war and understand your arrangements. Alas, when it comes to the foundation of the ancestors, I am so anxious! ”

When Li Zhen heard this, he immediately answered seriously.

It's just that Li Zhen didn't know that Xianfeng's target was not him, but Cixi next to him. Because Xianfeng wanted to show off in front of Cixi, Xianfeng summoned Li Zhen. After some words, Xianfeng said: "Li Zhen, I know that you have worked hard all the way back, and the battle on the front line has been steadily won. It's just that I hope that you can be vigorous and diligent, capture Nanjing as soon as possible, pacify the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and lay the foundation of my Qing Dynasty for all generations. ”

Li Zhen replied solemnly: "Please rest assured that the emperor will definitely put down the bandits." ”

Cixi continued: "Admiral Li, the fighting on the front line has intensified, and it has reached the point of needle-to-needle against Maimang, but the emperor has taken the risk of letting you go back to Beijing to wait for Zhilan to give birth. This grace, throughout the court, is only available to you. The emperor is as kind to you as a mountain, you must be conscientious and conscientious to repay the emperor's kindness to you. ”

When Li Zhen heard this, he sneered again and again in his heart.

Originally, it was Emperor Xianfeng who detained his woman, but now it has become a favor to let him come back? It was impossible for Li Zhen to say what he thought in his heart, nodded and said: "Concubine Yi is right, the minister must save his body three times a day, and he dare not slack off." ”

"Alright, let's go down."

Xianfeng waved his hand and motioned for Li Zhen to retreat. Li Zhen left Chuxiu Palace under the leadership of the guards, and soon left the Forbidden City, standing outside the city gate to prepare to return to Shangshu Mansion.

"Admiral Lee!"

When Li Zhen was standing at the gate of the Forbidden City, a shout came from behind him.
