Chapter 50: Return to Beijing

Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green.

The morning breeze supports the willow flute and is disabled, and the mountains outside Chaoyang Mountain.

The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered.

Life is rare to get together, only parting more.

This sentence is rare in life, only there are many separations, which almost speaks to everyone's hearts.

I led Wang Long, Benniu, and Dog Baby and left Xuchang City.

Even though I was very reluctant to Qingqing in my heart, I had to leave her temporarily.

We rushed all the way to Chang'an and came to Songyang County at noon.

Me: Brothers, Songyang is the location of the nest of the North Fire Hall of the Porridge Sect, let's buy some steamed buns, fill our hunger on the road, and don't stop in Songyang for more.

Wang Long: What Brother Jiang said is very true.

We found a steamed bun shop, bought 20 steamed buns, and walked through Songyang County all the time.

When we were dozens of miles away from Songyang County, we took a little rest and began to eat steamed buns to satisfy our hunger.

Me: I haven't left the sphere of influence of the Bowl of Porridge Sect yet, brothers, hurry up and hurry up after eating.

Wang Lung: Yes! Fortunately, the One Bowl of Porridge Sect is now too busy to take care of itself, and it should not take action against us.

Me: This is true, but we should be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, so we should be careful.

Wang Lung, Stupid Cow, Dog Baby: Yes.

**a** book** read** novel ybdu

We finished eating the steamed buns, turned over on our horses, and continued on our way.

This way to Chang'an, all I saw was a familiar environment, although this road was walked several times, but each time I walked through the mood is different.

The first time I went to Chang'an from Fanyang, I was a little excited, because it was the first time I was going to a big city, but I was more uneasy, after all, I was going to save He Xiangxue;

The second time was from Chang'an to Yuezhou, which was more exciting, the excitement of a person who had just entered the rivers and lakes and was determined to achieve a career; This time I returned to Chang'an from Yuezhou, and my mood was much more complicated than the previous two times.

There are three reasons, one is that I thought that a great cause would be established this time, but the result was too far away;

Second, when I returned to Chang'an, I don't know what the emperor's attitude is? Although the extermination of the Middle Earth Hall is a small achievement; However, after all, the bowl of porridge was not completely eradicated;

The third is to know the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes, and understand that the rivers and lakes are not something that can be easily played by one person.

When it was very close to the Valley of the Medicine King, I wanted to go and see the begonias; However, she is now studying medicine with Sun Simiao, and it is really not good to go rashly to disturb others.

When I was very close to the Shaolin Temple, I also wanted to go and see Master Wuxiang; However, it doesn't seem to be good to disturb the master's cultivation without a big event.

Just so tangled along the way, when night fell, we came to Luoyang City.

Walking into Luoyang City, we found an inn, ate something casually in the inn, and went back to the room.

Luoyang's night market was originally extremely famous. However, this night, instead of going out to the night market, we chose to go to bed early.

I just don't go out to play because I haven't forgotten about the peony girl. Perhaps, Luoyang City is destined to be my sad city.

Early the next morning, we set off for Chang'an.

After trekking for 100 miles, he finally arrived at Chang'an City, which had been absent for several months.

We entered from the east gate of Chang'an City, and saw that the streets of Chang'an City were still so prosperous, with an endless stream of merchants from all walks of life, and people coming and going, there was really a sense of familiarity that had not been seen for a long time.

We went straight back to Jiangfu, and when Xiaolan and Xiaoju saw that we were back, their faces were smiling.

Back in the house, we all felt unusually homely.

Me: It feels so good to be home!

Wang Long: Yes, Brother Jiang, these days of running around are indeed hard.

Me: Hey! I can't help it, who told us to be errand boys!

Wang Long: Brother Jiang, this is a bad word, among the brothers, you are the only one on the errand.

Me: Brother Long, you can't say that, you haven't made a mistake sooner or later.

Wang Long: It's better not to do this kind of drudgery.

I laughed and said, "Do we have to know how to be happy in suffering?" Stupid cow, dog baby, trouble the two brothers to call Yang Guozhong, I want to ask him if there is anything big that happened in Chang'an City recently?

Stupid Cow and Dog Baby: Okay, big brother.

Stupid Niu and the dog baby walked to call Yang Guozhong, and Wang Lung and I sat in the living room drinking tea.

About half an hour later, Yang Guozhong, Benniu, and Dog Baby came to the house.

Yang Guozhong laughed out loud when he walked into the living room and said: Congratulations to General Jiang on his triumphant return.

As soon as I heard this, I could only smile bitterly and said: Brother Yang, let you laugh, Jiang Mou's mission was not completed this time!

Yang Guozhong: Brother Jiang, what is the specific situation?

I told Yang Guozhong about the establishment of the Jianghu Column and the extermination of the Zhongtutang of the Bowl of Porridge Sect.

Yang Guozhong: Brother Jiang, this is also a great achievement! When the old man was in King Shou's Mansion before, he heard Li Mao say that the emperor wanted to exterminate a bowl of porridge many times, but every time he couldn't find the slightest figure of a bowl of porridge sect. This time, Brother Jiang was able to exterminate a bowl of porridge and teach a hall, which was really an unprecedented achievement! Yang wants to congratulate General Jiang first, and his promotion is imminent!

When I heard Yang Guozhong say this, my heart also began to get excited, and I thought: Although I didn't win all this time, it was indeed a big victory to be able to exterminate the Middle Earth Hall.

Me: Thank you, Brother Yang, have there been any major events in Chang'an in the past few months?

Yang Guozhong: No, Chang'an City is a place to live and work in peace and contentment. Since the last assassination of the emperor, the defenders of the entire Chang'an City have doubled compared to before, and there are soldiers patrolling day and night, so it is quite stable and harmonious.

Me: That's a great thing. Brother Yang, Jiang has been adrift these days, and he hasn't had a good rest for a day, so I won't eat with you tonight, and I will definitely make up for it next time.

Yang Guozhong: Between our brothers, there is no need to be so polite, Yang will leave first.

Me: Brother Yang, walk slowly.

We sent Yang Guozhong to the gate and turned around and went back to the living room.

Me: Brothers, today I want to rest early, nourish my spirits, and enter the palace tomorrow.

Wang Lung, Stupid Cow, Dog Baby: Okay.

I went straight back to my room, lay on the bed and began to think about entering the palace tomorrow.

Sometimes we want time to pass quickly, but it just goes so slowly, so slowly that you want to die.

However, time always ticks by.

It doesn't get over because you want it to go quickly, and it doesn't slow down because you want to keep some more good times, only in this way can it reflect its preciousness.

The next morning, I didn't get up very early; Because, I don't need to go to the morning court.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock that I came out of the room.

Wang Lung, they were all surprised to see that I had gone to meet the emperor so late!

Wang Long: Brother Jiang, why did you enter the palace so late! I'm afraid it's too late.

I laughed and said, "I have to wait until the morning time has passed, so that I can be different."

Wang Long: I really admire you.

I walked out of Jiangfu with a smile and walked straight to Xingqing Palace.

When I came to the outside of Xingqing Palace, I saw that the ministers had already walked out of the palace, and I thought: How did this early dynasty end so quickly?

I was in the officialdom of Chang'an City, and I knew Gao Lishi, Li Linfu, and Chen Xuanli, and I didn't know any of the other officials.

However, though I did not know them, they all knew me, and the ministers who passed by greeted me, and I smiled at them when I saw that they were so friendly.

Walk into Xingqing Palace and go directly to the emperor's study Nanxun Palace.

I know that after Tang Xuanzong goes down to the court, he will definitely go to Nanxun Hall to write poems and compose music or something.

When I came to the outside of the Nanxun Temple, I saw Gao Lishi standing at the door of the main hall.

I walked over softly, and was about to say hello to him, but I saw Colliers signaling me not to speak; So, I bowed to him and swallowed back the words that came to my lips.

I waited outside for a full two hours before Tang Xuanzong asked Gao Lishi to go in.

After a while, Tang Xuanzong and Gao Lishi walked out of the Nanxun Palace, and I quickly knelt on the ground and shouted: Long live my emperor, long live, long live.

Tang Xuanzong: Jiang Aiqing, no courtesy. Why didn't Aiqing call Gao Lishi to report when he came, he had been waiting for a long time, right?

Me: Back to the emperor, Weichen didn't dare to disturb the emperor's creation. Besides, Weichen is waiting for the emperor here, which is also a blessing for Weichen.

Tang Xuanzong: Jiang Aiqing, I'm tired of sitting inside, and I'm going to go to the back garden for a walk, so you can go with me, and by the way, tell me carefully about the extermination of a bowl of porridge this time.

Me: Wechen obeys.

I walked behind Tang Xuanzong and came to the back garden, only to see that there were a hundred flowers blooming inside, not at all like when it was almost summer.

Tang Xuanzong: Aiqing, tell me about the situation of exterminating the bowl of porridge sect this time.

Me: Yes.

I added fuel and vinegar to the situation from visiting celebrities in the rivers and lakes, to the establishment of the Jianghu column, to the extermination of Zhongtutang, and I really said that I could do everything.

Of course, I also said that the reason why I didn't completely eradicate the Bowl of Porridge Sect was overconfidence, which led to such a result.

After listening to me, Tang Xuanzong had a satisfied expression on his face, and I thought: It seems that the emperor is very satisfied with my actions this time.

Me: Your Majesty, in the process of exterminating Zhongtutang, General Zhang Weiyuan and General Zhao Shengdu of Jingzhou have made great contributions, and I hope that the emperor can reward the meritorious deeds to comfort the hearts of the soldiers.

Tang Xuanzong: What Aiqing said is reasonable, tomorrow morning I will be rewarded.

Me: Thank you, Your Majesty, in addition, there are some colleagues in the rivers and lakes who have also contributed their strength to uphold justice, and I ask the emperor to give you a reward.

Tang Xuanzong: These are all easy to do, in addition, although this time a bowl of porridge sect has been severely defeated, but after all, it has not been able to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and a bowl of porridge sect left in the world is a scourge, and it must be eradicated as soon as possible.

I: We're in charge.

Tang Xuanzong: There is one more thing, I would like to ask Aiqing what you mean.

Me: Please show me the emperor.

Tang Xuanzong: I plan to go to Mount Tai on August 15 this year to hold a ceremony to seal the Zen Zen, what does Aiqing think?

Me: As far as Weichen knows, all the holy lords have the habit of going to Mount Tai to seal Zen, and the emperor is the holy lord of all eternity, so of course he has to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen.

Tang Xuanzong smiled and said: What Jiang Aiqing said is very much in line with my intentions. However, now some ministers in the court oppose me going to Mount Tai, saying that there are too many people who go and it will disturb the people; There are too few people to go, and it's not safe.

Me: The emperor travels, how can he disturb the people? Where does this fallacy come from, the people of the world, the one who doesn't want to see the emperor's appearance, the emperor travels, the people will only welcome him, where can he disturb the people.

Tang Xuanzong: What Jiang Aiqing said is very true, I will appoint Aiqing as the head of the Inner Palace, in charge of all the internal masters, and be responsible for my safety during this trip to Mount Tai.

I immediately knelt on the ground and said: Thank you for the emperor's grace, and Weichen will do his best to protect the emperor's safety.

Tang Xuanzong: With Jiang Aiqing in charge of my safety, I am very relieved, but this bowl of porridge sect has always been a big scourge, and Aiqing must also pay close attention to the extermination of the bowl of porridge sect.

Me: Wechen obeys.

Tang Xuanzong: Jiang Aiqing should go down and prepare well, and set off at the end of this month.

Me: Wechen obeys.

I was about to thank you and retire, but I heard Gao Lishi shouting from behind: Princess Mingyue, the emperor is talking about something, can you wait for it?

However, this Gao Lishi obviously did not stop Princess Mingyue, she has already come to our side.

I saw this Princess Mingyue walk directly to Tang Xuanzong's side, and said coquettishly: Father, my daughter wants to go to Nanshan to hunt and play tomorrow, is it okay?

As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly saluted and said: Weichen see Princess Mingyue, the emperor, Weichen wants to retire first.

This princess of the bright moon glanced at me and walked directly towards me, staring at my face with a pair of eyes, and cold sweat broke out on my body when she saw it.

Tang Xuanzong: Mingyue, don't be rude, this is General Jiang.

Princess Mingyue: Yo, there is such a handsome general, I want him to be a colt.

When I heard this, I was astonished and thought, "What kind of world is this?" And such a direct woman!

I took a look at this Princess Mingyue, who was tall and tall, and her face was very delicate, and I thought: She looks good, and she can marry her home as a wife. However, at first glance, this temper is like a barrel of explosives, and it will explode as soon as it catches fire, so it is better to stay away, so as not to be blown up.

Tang Xuanzong smiled and said: You ask Jiang Aiqing, if he agrees, I will agree.

As soon as I heard Tang Xuanzong's words, I thought: Your father and daughter are really wonderful! That's too straightforward, isn't it?

I hurriedly arched my hand and said: Back to the emperor, princess, Weichen already has a family.

Actually, I am also guilty of deception, after all, my daughters-in-law are all unpassed.

Princess Mingyue: If you have a family, forget it. However, you have to be my bodyguard and accompany me on my hunting tomorrow.

Tang Xuanzong: I'm afraid of you! Jiang Aiqing, you will escort Princess Mingyue to hunt tomorrow.

As soon as I heard that the emperor had opened his mouth, he said: Weichen obeys the order.

Tang Xuanzong: Jiang Aiqing, you go down first.

Me: Wechen obeys.

After I knelt down, I walked out of Xingqing Palace directly and walked straight to the house.

Walking on the road, I recalled Princess Mingyue's words, and felt very funny, thinking: This Princess Mingyue is a little bad-tempered, but she is very straightforward.
