In July and August, the sun has a lot of heat in the morning.

After last night's battle in Songyang County, countless houses were destroyed by the fire, and there were broken walls and ruins everywhere.

The smell of blood wafted through the air, and the smell made people feel like they were nauseating.

The Yamen Capture in Songyang County has basically extinguished the fire, and many people are sweeping the streets and removing blood stains from the ground with water.

However, the fusion of water and blood is really a picture of a river of blood.

The war was brutal, and after one night, many people were left without houses, many without lives.

I led Wang Long, Benniu, Gouwa, Yang Jian, Chen Xuanli, Ge Shuhan, plus eighteen masters and more than 10,000 soldiers who survived, on the way to the palace.

Walking outside the palace, I saw Guo Taiping, the county commander of Songyang County, kneeling at the gate of the palace.

I walked up to Guo Taiping and said, "Master Guo, what does this mean?"

When Guo Taiping saw that it was me, his eyes were full of tears, and he said: General Jiang, the next official is guilty of death!

Me: Mr. Guo, what do you mean by that?

Guo Taiping: There is no way for the lower officials to govern the land, and there are anti-thieves in the city who don't know it, which makes the emperor frightened, and he deserves death for his real crime!

Guo Taiping said very heartbroken, as if Tang Xuanzong really wanted to destroy his nine clans.

Me: Master Guo, get up [1^book^read^novel][.[ yb][du].] Let's do it! It's not your responsibility alone, come with me to see the emperor!"

When Guo Taiping heard me say this, he smiled happily and said: Thank you General Jiang, with General Jiang protecting the lower officials, the lower officials can be regarded as picking up a life.

I saw that this Guo Taiping was still a heartbroken expression just now, and this time he became sunny and smiling, and I really admired him very much, and he really turned his face like turning a book.

Me: Master Guo, don't say that, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, so we should help each other and actively share the emperor's worries, don't you say?

Guo Taiping: General Jiang's remarks are extremely true.

I walked up to Chen Xuanli and Ge Shuhan and said, "General Chen, General Ge, you arrange for the soldiers to rest on the spot first, after all, after a night of fighting, everyone must be very tired."

Chen Xuanli, Ge Shuhan: Okay.

I said to Wang Long, Benniu, Gouwa, Yang Jian, and the eighteen masters of the Great Interior: Brothers, you also go to rest first, after a busy night, everyone is tired.

Wang Long, Benniu, Dog Baby, and eighteen masters all bowed their hands and said: Yes.

Yang Jian still replied with his standard murderous eyes.

Chen Xuanli and Ge Shuhan respectively ordered their soldiers to rest on the spot, and Wang Long, Benniu, Gouwa, Yang Jian, and eighteen masters of the Great Inner Division all walked into the palace and went to their respective rooms to rest.

It wasn't until Chen Xuanli and Ge Shuhan came over that I said: Let's go see the emperor.

A group of four of us walked directly to Tang Xuanzong's dormitory.

When I came to the front of Tang Xuanzong's dormitory, I saw Gao Lishi standing at the door, so I hurriedly greeted him.

Me: Father-in-law Gao, please inform the emperor, Jiang Dazhi asks to see you.

Gao Lishi: The emperor has a decree, and when General Jiang comes back, he will go in directly to meet the emperor.

Me: Thank you, Grandpa Gao.

The four of us saluted Gao Lishi, and Gao Lishi opened the door of Tang Xuanzong's bedroom.

We walked into Tang Xuanzong's dormitory and saw what Tang Xuanzong was writing?

The four of us immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: Knock on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live.

Tang Xuanzong: Ladies and gentlemen, please be exempt.

We all stood up, but Guo Taiping was the only one who still knelt on the ground and refused to get up.

Tang Xuanzong: Guo Aiqing, what do you mean by this?

Guo Taiping: Back to the emperor, the minister is guilty of death!

Tang Xuanzong laughed and said: You are afraid that I will condemn you, so please ask for your own guilt first! When you get up and speak, all of you are not guilty of what happened last night, but all of them have merit.

When we heard Tang Xuanzong say this, a smile appeared on our faces, and Guo Taiping stood up.

Tang Xuanzong: Jiang Aiqing, tell me about the specific situation.

Me: I will obey the order. Last night, all the members of the Bowl of Porridge Sect went out, wanting to be unfavorable to the emperor, but they were attacked by our army and wiped out the North Fire Hall of the Bowl of Porridge Sect in one fell swoop. It's a pity that there is a secret passage in the North Fire Hall of the Bowl of Porridge Sect, and some important leaders have escaped death. However, this time, the Bowl of Porridge Sect suffered heavy losses, and it was no longer able to harm the rivers and lakes in a short period of time. The general will definitely continue to investigate and strive to exterminate all the porridge sects as soon as possible.

Tang Xuanzong: Very good, all Aiqing have done a good job, and when I return to Chang'an City, I will definitely reward you Aiqing heavily.

I, Chen Xuanli, and Ge Shuhan all said loudly: Thank you for the emperor's grace.

Tang Xuanzong: Although this time a bowl of porridge was exterminated in the Beihuo Hall of the Porridge Sect, but the people of Songyang County have suffered a great crime, Guo Taiping, I order you to be sure to repair the damaged houses before the Chinese New Year this year, so that the people can celebrate the New Year warmly. If it's not done, come up.

Guo Taiping: The minister obeys the order.

Tang Xuanzong: Everyone Aiqing, let's go down.

We shouted in unison: Yes. They all saluted Tang Xuanzong, and then exited the dormitory.

Everyone went back to their rooms.

As soon as I arrived at my room, I began to fall asleep. It wasn't until it was time for lunch that the maid who delivered the meal woke me up, and I got up.

After lunch, I was about to go back to bed, when I heard a knock on the door.

I opened the door and saw that it was Colliers.

Me: Father-in-law Gao, what are you doing?

Gao Lishi: General Jiang, the emperor is invited.

Me: Yes.

I followed Gao Lishi directly to Tang Xuanzong's dormitory.

I don't know what Tang Xuanzong is looking for me? I began to feel a little uneasy in my heart.

Walking into Tang Xuanzong's dormitory, I quickly knelt on the ground to salute.

Tang Xuanzong said to me with a smile: Jiang Aiqing, excuse me, how about coming and seeing my words?

I immediately got up and walked to Tang Xuanzong's desk to take a look, only to see four sentences written on it, I thought: This should be a poem.

However, I really didn't know what was written on it, so I said: The emperor's words are strong and powerful, and they are definitely everyone's work.

As soon as Tang Xuanzong heard this, the smile on his face became even brighter, and said: I heard that there is a very famous building selling calligraphy and paintings in Songyang County, what is it called the Scholar's Building, Jiang Aiqing accompanied me to take a look, and by the way, I also asked the connoisseur how to write my handwriting?

As soon as I heard this, I thought to myself: This is a troublesome matter, in case those people don't know the goods and say that Tang Xuanzong's handwriting is poor, isn't this just a slap in my face?

However, it turned out that Tang Xuanzong was going, and I couldn't stop it.

Me: The last general's decree.

Tang Xuanzong: All of them go and change into ordinary clothes, I want to hear their truest thoughts.

As soon as I heard this, my heart beat even more, and I thought: I hope these people know more about the goods, otherwise, Lao Tzu will become a flatterer.

We all changed into the clothes worn by the most ordinary people and came to the outside of the study building.

I looked up at this study building, a total of five floors, the decoration is very classical, it looks unique.

When we walked into the study building, we saw a large number of literati shuttling inside, all of whom were appreciating some calligraphy and paintings.

Walking to the counter, I took out Tang Xuanzong's words and said, "Shopkeeper, please comment on this character."

When I said this, I deliberately looked at the shopkeeper, motioned to him to pick up as much as possible, and said, I will give him benefits.

I don't want to, this shopkeeper didn't look at me at all, took the words in my hand, opened it, and muttered in his mouth: Recalling the past Concubine Jiao in Zichen, Lead Hua is not naïve. Although Shuangxuan seems to be in the current state, she fights for Nai Jiaobo and does not care about others.

After reading this poem in the mouth of the shopkeeper, he said: The poem is intentional, the words have God, and it should be a good product.

As soon as I heard this, I smiled and thought: This shopkeeper is good, and he can be cultivated.

I only heard Tang Xuanzong say: Shopkeeper, according to the valuation here, how much silver is this character worth?

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "It's worth a hundred taels of silver."

As soon as I heard this, my heart was filled with anger, and I thought: How can the emperor's words be worth a hundred taels of silver? If you are really blind, it will be worth a thousand taels of silver!

Tang Xuanzong laughed and said: How much silver is the most expensive word you have here worth, and how much silver is the worst word worth?

When the shopkeeper heard this, he said with a smile: There are countless treasures in this store, and the master's work is at least a thousand taels of silver; Of course, what can be sold is worth at least five taels of silver.

As soon as I heard this, I thought: Tang Xuanzong's words are worth a hundred taels of silver, and he can be regarded as a first-class master.

Tang Xuanzong: Show me a picture of the master's handwriting.

The shopkeeper suddenly heard Tang Xuanzong say "I" in his mouth, and his face was shocked, but he instantly regained his composure and said: The master's words are not something you can read if you want to see them, who will accompany you if something goes wrong?

As soon as I heard this, I immediately cried out, "Just take it out."

Tang Xuanzong said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, just say the name of the master, whose words are worth a thousand taels of silver here for you?"

Shopkeeper: Grass Saint Zhang Xu.

Tang Xuanzong let out an "oh", turned around and left the counter.

I immediately took back Tang Xuanzong's words, walked to Tang Xuanzong's side, and said softly: Master Long, this shopkeeper is illiterate.

Tang Xuanzong: He just told the truth.

As soon as I heard Tang Xuanzong say this, I thought: Tang Xuanzong must have suffered some blows.

However, it suddenly occurred to me that Qi Xianzhuang's Hua Wuyu is also a master of writing, so it is better to let him save some face for Tang Xuanzong.

Me: Master Long, there is a Qixian Village here, and the owner of the village, Hua Wuyu, is also a master of writing, Master Long might as well go and have a look.

Tang Xuanzong: That's fine.

When we came to the outside of Qixianzhuang, Tang Xuanzong saw the three big characters "Qixianzhuang" on the door plaque of Qixianzhuang at a glance, stared at it for a moment, and then said slowly: This is Zhang Xu's note.

Me: The emperor is really knowledgeable, this is indeed Zhang Xu's words.

I saw that there was no one around, so I directly called Tang Xuanzong the emperor.

Tang Xuanzong: There is still a gap between my character and Zhang Xu.

Me: Your Majesty, you and Zhang Xu have their own characteristics, regardless of length or shortness.

When Tang Xuanzong heard my words, a smile appeared on his face and said, "Aiqing! Your mouth is no worse than your hands!

Me: Thank you for your appreciation.

I stepped forward and knocked on the door of Qi Xianzhuang.

It didn't take long for the housekeeper to open the door, and as soon as he saw that it was me, he said: Jiang Ye, you are here, please come inside.

I hurriedly clasped my fists and saluted, saying, "Thank you!"

We followed the housekeeper into Qixianzhuang, passing by the large flat in front, there was still a sea of flowers, although it had passed a lot of flower blooming seasons at this time.

Tang Xuanzong saw so many flowers, and nodded frequently, I thought: It seems that Tang Xuanzong is also very satisfied with the environment here!

We followed the housekeeper to the living room, and saw too many exotic flowers and plants along the way, and from time to time there were luxurious pavilions, which attracted Tang Xuanzong is full of praise.

When we came to the living room, the housekeeper asked us to sit down first, and he went to ask Hua to be speechless.

It didn't take long for the maid to bring us tea, and Hua Wuyu walked in.

But seeing that he was wearing a white dress and a folding fan in his hand, he looked quite graceful.

I quickly stood up and said: Brother Hua, the younger brother came uninvited, I hope Brother Hua will forgive me, and the younger brother will help Brother Hua introduce these two.

When I said this, I also looked at Hua speechlessly, and motioned for him to give me face.

Hua Wuyu obviously understood, and a cute smile appeared on her face.

I pointed at Tang Xuanzong with my finger and said: This is Master Long, and the other is Master Gao.

Hua said with a speechless smile: I have seen Master Long, Master Gao, both of them look extraordinary, and they are by no means ordinary people.

Tang Xuanzong said with a smile: Hua Ye is not only a talent, but also a luxurious house, and so poetic, which is really rare.

Hua is speechless: Thank you for the compliment.

Me: Brother Hua, the younger brother knows that you are also a master of Danqing, there is a painting of Master Long, please ask Brother Hua to taste it.

After that, I took out Tang Xuanzong's words and handed it to Hua Wuspeechless.

Hua took the word speechlessly, opened it and looked at it, and muttered in her mouth: Recalling the past Concubine Jiao in Zichen, Lead Hua is not naïve.

Although Shuangxuan seems to be in the current state, she fights for Nai Jiaobo and does not care about others.

After reading it, he said: The word "Long Ye" is strong and powerful, and it should be a supreme masterpiece, and there is also a deep meaning in the poem, which seems to be deeply missing a person.

After hearing this, Tang Xuanzong showed a smile on his face and said: Hua Ye is worthy of being an expert, this is indeed a poem that misses a certain deceased lady.

As soon as I heard Tang Xuanzong say this, I thought: I guess what I miss is Concubine Wu Hui, but I can't imagine that this Tang Xuanzong is still an infatuated species.

Me: According to Brother Hua's meaning, how much silver is this painting worth?

When I said this, I tried my best to give Hua a speechless look, hoping that he would understand what I meant.

But I heard Hua say speechlessly: Such a masterpiece should be a priceless treasure!

As soon as Tang Xuanzong heard this, he smiled like a flower and said: Since Hua Ye appreciates this word so much, he will give it to Hua Ye as a souvenir.

Hua was speechless: Thank you, Master Long.

Me: Congratulations to Brother Hua, for this masterpiece, my little brother will say goodbye today and come back to visit another day.

Hua Speechless: Please.

We followed Hua speechlessly, walked out of the living room, and walked towards the door.

We said goodbye at the gate and then went home.

Before leaving, I deliberately turned my head away, wanting to look at Hua Wuspeechless and thank him with my eyes.

No, Hua Wuyu just turned around and went home, only to see his back.

I suddenly felt that this back was so familiar, and when I recalled it carefully, I felt very familiar with the back of the man in black who rescued a bowl of porridge last night.

I turned around, followed behind Tang Xuanzong and Gao Lishi, and walked straight to the palace.

Along the way, my mind was full of the back of the man in black and the back of Hua Speechless, their backs were so acquainted.

However, I don't want to believe that Hua Wuyu will be the man in black; Besides, I can't find any reason why Hua Wuyu wants to save a bowl of porridge!
