Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The soldiers in the camp gathered together to eat, today the army officially entered Gyeonggi Province, the atmosphere is also very lively, at this time it is already summer, the hottest day they have spent on the march, after nightfall, the air has a little cool.

Today's dinner was boiled hot white rice, a large bowl of meat, a large bowl of fish, and a few vegetables, and even a bottle of wine per person, which made the soldiers' interest particularly high.

The war is finally over, the era of peace has come, and everyone is full of hope for their future......

"I want to go home to see the children, I haven't seen my baby for two years, and my mother-in-law, miss them!"

A veteran of the team sighed heartily, his face flushed with excitement after drinking a little wine, and his eyes were full of longing for his hometown and his wife and children.

"Jia Da, you haven't been home for two years, will your lady have that ...... with someone else," a young soldier joked recklessly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the skull by the soldier next to him and scolded him: "Do you talk like this? You're disturbing the morale of the army. ”

The team named Jia Da waved his hand and said with a smile: "My mother won't, she and I grew up together, and she has a lot of responsibilities, and she has to farm at home, serve her in-laws, and take care of her children, where can she come with outsiders." ”

"You forgot that there is also the Military Marriage Inspection Division!" Suddenly there was a low chuckle from the side.

As soon as the soldiers looked up, they all stood up in fright, only to see their commander Li Qing'an, accompanied by two personal soldiers, standing next to them.

"General!"

Li Qingan smiled and waved his hand, "Everyone sit down to eat, and give me a seat." ”

Everyone moved out of the way to make room for an empty seat.

Li Qing'an sat down, and the two soldiers served him a bowl of rice, and Li Qing'an smiled and said to them: "You guys also sit down and eat!" Don't stand behind. ”

The soldiers also sat down and ate with everyone, Li Qingan saw that everyone didn't dare to move, so he pointed at the vegetable rice with chopsticks and said with a smile: "Everyone is a brother in the army, not an outsider, everyone just eat." ”

Everyone continued to eat, and while eating, Li Qingan asked Jia Dadao with a smile: "I remember that I seem to have seen you in Anxi, and your face shape is very distinctive." ”

Jia Da is a square face of the national character, especially square, easy to impress, he scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled: "The general is right, in the temple of Samarkand, I have seen the general once." ”

"Samarkand, oh! That was a few years ago, so why did you only mix up one team? At the very least, he should be a school captain! Li Qingan asked with a smile.

Jia Da's face was hot, although he had been in the army for a long time, but he did not have many meritorious contributions, when he wanted to rush up and fight hard, he would think of his wife and children at home, and his feet would be slow, the Anxi Army was rewarded for military merits, so many soldiers who joined the army later than him were promoted to brigade commanders and captains.

He hurriedly said: "Returning to the general, the humble post grabbed the head of Gele Khan this time, and he should be promoted to captain after returning to Beijing." ”

Li Qingan laughed, "Hehe! It turns out that the head of Golkhan was snatched by you. ”

Before the battle, he gave an order that those who captured Gele Khan alive would be promoted to three levels and rewarded with five thousand taels of silver, and those who took his head would be promoted to two levels and rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and all military exploits had been recorded, and they would be rewarded together after returning to Beijing.

"Very well, then what are your plans for the future, by the way, where is your home?"

"The villain was originally a native of Jianzhou in Shuzhong, and now his home is in Broken Leaves, his mother-in-law and son, as well as his parents are in Broken Leaves, his son is seven years old, and he has been in the army for five years, and he heard that he can be discharged from the army for five years.

Li Qing'an nodded, "You're right, now the Ministry of War is formulating laws, and the government military system will still be implemented in the future, and you can retire after five years in the army, and the same is true for the border army, and more and more Han people will migrate to the border in the future, and the military households will be gradually abolished and the government military system will be implemented, although it has not been officially promulgated yet, but according to the old practice of the Anxi Army, you can retire from the army after five years, and you can also continue to serve in the army, and add thirty acres of land, don't you want to?" ”

"Hey! There is no brother in the humble position, and it is too hard for my mother-in-law to be at home alone, I want to go home and hold it up, and this time I won the silver reward, and I plan to open a store in Broken Leaf City to do business, I can speak Turkic dialect, which is very convenient. ”

"Not bad, good idea."

Li Qingan praised and asked the other soldiers with a smile, "What about you?" Where is your hometown and what are your plans? ”

"Back to the general, the villain is from Chang'an, he has been in the army for two years, and he still wants to continue to be a soldier."

．．．．．

"Back to the general, the villain is a native of Gyeongju, Kannai Province, who has been a soldier for three years, has 30 acres of land at home, accumulates military merits, and can get 20 acres of field after retirement, and has 50 acres of land at home, and the villain is also satisfied."

At this time, more and more soldiers surrounded him, and there were already hundreds of people around, Li Qingan saw that a soldier wanted to say but was a little hesitant, so he smiled and pointed at him, "You come!"

The soldier hurriedly said: "General Huiyu, the villain is called Wang Ziyi, a native of Yangzhou, who has been in the army for three years, was originally a fugitive from Qingwang Grange, there are old mothers, wives and children at home, and a younger brother, and now the family is located in Puzhou, Hedong, because the villain joined the army and was assigned 20 acres of land, the villain intends to apply to Anxi to join the army, so that the family can get 150 acres of land, the villain is good at planting tea, and is ready to buy a mountain to plant tea after retiring. ”

Li Qingan smiled and nodded, "This brother wants to go to Anxi, it can be said that this is a very wise decision, emerging places will always be full of opportunities, in the next thirty years, the Anxi region will give the most powerful support to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, as far as I know, since the beginning of this year, nearly 20,000 soldiers have applied for their families to move to Anxi, as for how many people still want to go, I don't know." ”

"But General, everyone is a little worried about safety, after all, the Great Cannibals, the Byzantines, and the Khazar countries are all surrounded by all sides, and Anxi is vulnerable to foreign invasion." One soldier said worriedly.

Li Qing'an smiled, "This brother's worries are probably also the worries of most people, in fact, I think it should be the big cannibals and Khazars who are worried." ”

Everyone laughed together, Li Qingan waved his hand and said with a smile: "The main reason why our Datang can dominate Anxi is that my Datang has the sharpest bow and arrow in the world, the strongest armor, and the most disciplined soldiers. ”

Now the smallest earth-shattering thunder in Datang is about the size of a pumpkin, and everyone has guessed that it is as big as a melon and as big as a grapefruit, Li Qingan still shook his head with a smile, "Tell everyone!" As big as a walnut. ”

Everyone exclaimed, and Jia Da's eyes widened, "General, so small, can it be lethal?" ”

Li Qing'an made a competition for everyone, he kneaded the rice into a large ball of walnuts, and pulled a piece of grass casually, inserted it into the rice ball, and smiled at everyone: "Do you see it, the shape should be like this, this is the smallest earth-shaking thunder, in fact, it can't be called sky-shaking thunder, but the new name has not been thought of, the key is this lead, our lead technology is quite mature, and it can completely control the uniform combustion of the powder, so that we can use the crossbow again, a soldier can launch this earth-shaking thunder, think about it, It would be spectacular if 10,000 soldiers were fired at the same time, and we have mastered the iron iron technology of Damascus and the Uzi steel smelting technology of Sindh, and we have found the best iron ore in Tocharo, and in the future our children and grandchildren will make steel pipes, invent newer firearms, in short, our weapons will become sharper and sharper, and the Westerners will never be able to compete with us. ”

Li Qing'an's words aroused a round of applause among the soldiers, and Li Qing'an saw that there were more and more people around, so he got up and said with a smile: "I'll go back, don't delay everyone's dinner, everyone will finish eating and rest early." ”

He left the group of soldiers and returned to his big tent of the Chinese army, in which a sand table of four zhang long and three zhang wide was placed in the Tang Dynasty, which took a year to make this sand table, and it was made of twenty-three sand tables merged and remade, and there was only this one in the world.

Li Qing'an slowly walked to the sand table, staring at the Tang Dynasty for a long time, he knew that he was already the emperor of the Tang Dynasty at this time, and the news was spreading to all directions of the Tang Dynasty at an unprecedented speed.

It is now the third year of Qingping, from the fifth year of Tianbao he entered this dynasty, the time has passed a full eleven years, eleven years of long years, he from a small fort soldier step by step to today, became the power of the Tang Emperor, during which the blood and rain, gunpowder smoke, hundreds of battles and millions of deaths, their accumulated white bones paved their own imperial road.

'The Battle of Little Bolu, the Battle of Shibaocheng, the Battle of Talas, the Battle of Khorezm, the Battle of Tocharo, the Battle of Dafeichuan, the Battle of Luzhou, the Battle of Hui'

The magnificent battles, the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, and the history of the eternal history, all of which will gradually be submerged by the years.

Li Qing'an sighed softly, he stroked a ruby ring ring on his ring finger, which was solemnly offered to him by the king of Shiguo, and the ruby was one of the eight pieces that the god of light had divided.

He suddenly remembered Julan, the princess of Shiguo who once made him unforgettable, that love affair of only ten days, as short as fireworks, but she attracted a magnificent history of hegemony in Central Asia, and finally she gave her most holy life in the raging fire, she has been dead for five years, the land in the river has gradually regained its vitality, and Islam and Zoroastrianism have been able to live in peace.

Her grave should also be miserable, the apple tree he planted with his own hands has long borne fruit, and she sleeps in that rich land, but ..... When will he be able to go to her grave again to sacrifice, in this life, will he still have a chance?

His heart is sour, the memories and nostalgia for the past, a kind of longing for the land that once made him shed blood and sweat, for all the people who have passed away, one by one who have lived in his life The nostalgia of lovers, comrades-in-arms, people and even enemies, Li Qing's sadness was uncontrollable, and he couldn't help but burst into tears at this moment....

．．．．．．．．

Two days later, 100,000 troops arrived at the Mingde Gate in Chang'an, outside the Mingde Gate, more than 300 important ministers in the political hall under the leadership of the seven ministers Zhang Yun, Cui Ning, Pei Min, Yan Zhenqing, Wang Jin, Liu Yan, Guo Ziyi, together outside the city to welcome the return of the Tang Emperor Li Qing'an.

The 100,000 Tang Army was already re-arranged, mighty, stretching for ten miles, 3,000 Tiger Ben Guards were lined up at the front of the team, Li Qing'an was dressed in the bright black armor of the Anxi Army, wearing a golden helmet, and holding a hundred battle horizontal swords.

He urged the horse to slowly come to the front of the hundred officials, and more than 300 important ministers knelt down to welcome the return of the Tang Emperor with the most pious gesture.

"Your Majesty the Emperor! Long live your majesty, long live! ”

Li Qingan took a deep breath, and in a soft tone, smiled slightly at the officials: "Everyone, Aiqing, is flat!" ”

After saying this, even Li Qingan himself felt that this was not what he said, and he had a dream-like feeling, as if none of this was true, but the situation in front of him was real, not a dream.

"Your Majesty Emperor Xie!" The ministers got up, and the return of Li Qing'an made everyone very happy, and from today on, the Tang Dynasty will enter an era of heroic lords and ministers.

Li Qing'an said slowly to everyone: "Thanks to the love of the ministers, Fengqing'an is the mainstay, today, in front of the Mingde Gate, I will make an appointment with you in three chapters, since I started, the Tang Dynasty does not use eunuchs as officials, and the court does not use words to be convicted inside and outside the court, and does not use court punishment, whether it is guilty or not, it will be punished by Tang law." ”

The ministers immediately burst into joy, Li Qing'an's three have always been a big trouble in their hearts, eunuchs have been the opponents of the courtiers since ancient times, all dynasties, eunuchs can be heard from time to time, this dynasty since Xuanzong Li Longji began, it has set a bad precedent, Gao Lishi, Yuan Siyi, Yu Chaoen, Li Fuguo and other eunuchs have held great power, Li Qingan ordered that eunuchs are strictly forbidden to be officials, how can this not make them rejoice.

There are also not words to be punished, not punished by the court, but also the ministers are looking forward to, in this way, there will be words and officials, and there are ministers who dare to admonish and dare to say, this three chapters of the law will be the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

The ministers shouted in unison: "Your Majesty! ”

There was a sound of horses' hooves, several eunuchs rode horses to gallop, he brought the token of the Tang Emperor, the ministers have to get out of the way, three eunuchs came forward with a gold plate, the gold plate is covered with brocade, the first gold plate is a founding sword, is the founding sword of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, worn by the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, was taken to Chengdu by Li Heng, and the Tang army captured it from the Nanming Palace.

The eunuch stepped forward, knelt down on both knees, and held the gold plate high, "This is the queen mother's order to send the servants, please accept it." ”

The soldiers presented the gold plate, Li Qing'an picked up the sword, only to see the sword body is simple, the scabbard is engraved, 'Ordered by the sky, holding the sword to open the country' eight big characters, he nodded, put the sword on the body, and looked at the second gold plate, the gold plate is the emperor's red pen and jade seal, but not the national seal, the national seal is in the hands of Fu Baolang, the emperor has no right to stamp the national seal, this is just a private seal, used when reviewing the folds.

The third gold plate was a red yellow dragon robe crown, he smiled, and ordered his henchmen to accept all the items, at this time Zhang Yun stepped forward to report: "Please Your Majesty enter the palace to prepare for the ceremony, tomorrow is said to be three o'clock, the enthronement ceremony will be officially held, and the hundred officials will be congratulated." ”

"Okay, pass my order, and the army will enter the city!"

Li Qing'an gave an order, 100,000 Tang troops held a mighty ceremony to enter the city, at this time Chang'an was already full of empty alleys, nearly a million Chang'an people gathered on Zhuque Street, warmly welcomed the Tang army into the city in triumph, but also warmly welcomed their new Tang Emperor His Majesty, 150,000 Guanzhong garrisons lined up on both sides of Zhuque Street to maintain order.

Li Qing'an has boarded the jade chariot, this is the emperor's royal carriage, decorate the body with beautiful jade, pulled by eighty-one vigorous imperial horses, the left green dragon, the right white tiger, the golden phoenix wings, the painting of birds and beasts, the yellow house left, showing the royal majesty, five hundred of the most elite tiger guard cavalry holding shields and lances to protect the left and right, the defense is extremely tight, and there are three thousand tiger guard cavalry holding the flag, guarding the outermost layer.

When the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty appeared from inside the Mingde Gate, the entire Chang'an City suddenly erupted in a landslide and tsunami-like cheers, "Long live His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

As the cavalry of the Tang Army entered the city mightily, the warm atmosphere was pushed to **, "Long live the Tang soldiers!" ”

Countless people in the Tang Dynasty cheered and excited, beating gongs and drums, waving flags made of brocade, "Long live the Tang Army!" ”

This supreme glory brought tears to the eyes of every soldier of the Tang Army, and it was a kind of glory that they were willing to defend with their lives.

But the most passionate and crazy thing is the cheers of millions of people for Li Qing'an, and every time he walks everywhere, he immediately sets off a tidal wave of cheers, "Long live His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Hundreds of old men dressed in white reverently knelt in front of the emperor's imperial car, their white-haired heads kowtowing on the ground, they had the greatest expectations for the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and everyone was eager for the reappearance of the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Li Qingan sat in the well-guarded royal car, he couldn't see the enthusiasm of the welcoming crowd clearly, but he still saw the excited crowd from the gap that flashed by accidentally, saw the tearful faces, and heard the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis, his heart was also extremely moved, he felt the burden of a thousand catties on his body, the Tang Dynasty, the fate of 50 million people, and the strength and prosperity of an empire will all be tied to him.

．．．．．．．

The carriage stopped in front of the Suzaku Gate, and he will enter the Imperial City from here, and then enter the palace from the Imperial City, where the general of the Yulin Army, Changsun Quanxu, has led three thousand Yulin troops to wait, and the three hundred officials who rushed back first are also waiting here, in addition, there are more than five hundred clans who support his accession to the throne, including some of the clans that have repented in the Inner Guard Prison, and they are also greeted in front of the Suzaku Gate under the leadership of Zongzheng Temple Qing Li Yi.

In addition to the 500 elite Tiger Ben guards who will follow him into the palace, the rest of the 100,000 troops will be temporarily stationed in the major military camps of the imperial city, and will be stationed outside the city after the night is quiet and sparsely populated.

The eldest grandson Quanxu stepped forward and bowed, "May I ask Your Majesty the Emperor, where to enter the palace?" ”

Li Qing'an pondered for a moment and said slowly: "After I became the crown prince, I naturally entered the palace from the Xuanwu Gate. ”

"His Majesty the Emperor has a decree to enter the palace from the Xuanwu Gate!"

A hundred-year cycle of reincarnation ends with Xuanwu Gate and begins with Xuanwu Gate.
