On May 22, the brigade arrived at the south gate of the capital.

10,000 soldiers all entered the city, it was impossible, if all these soldiers entered the capital, then they could completely control the capital, so 8,000 troops stayed outside the city, and 2,000 soldiers followed Li Rupei into Chang'an City.

It was these two thousand sergeants who were allowed to enter Chang'an City, which was also the result of the efforts of Zheng Jin, Cui Anqian and others, and it was also the report written by Li Rupei that played a great role.

Although it was almost dark, there were still many people in the capital, waiting on the road that Li Rupei had to pass, everyone wanted to see this young prince, and to see the commander of the incomparably brave and iron-blooded army.

From the moment Li Rupei entered the south gate, Yan Fu began to make a high degree of progress, all his subordinates were mixed in the crowd, always paying attention to whether there was any abnormal situation around, if there was a slight change, he would do it without hesitation, and at this time, he would not care about the idea of stationing the Shence army in the capital.

Cui Anqian had already sent a housekeeper to wait at the south gate, and the housekeeper walked at the front of the team to lead the way.

Liu Yunzhang, Gao Chibang and others surrounded Li Rupei, and there were special forces guards outside.

According to Li Rupei's status as a prince who also serves as an envoy to the festival, the imperial court did not need to send personnel to wait, but Zheng Zheng still sent officials from the Ministry of Rites to greet him at the south gate after reporting to the emperor.

Li Rupei rode a maroon red war horse and wore a white cotton silk gown, which looked particularly elegant.

The first time he came to the capital Chang'an, he still paid attention to the surrounding situation, and the prosperity of Chang'an was incomparable to Liangzhou. Although it is said that Liangzhou is making great strides in development, it can be compared with Chang'an. It's a big deal.

Wide streets, neat houses. The bustling crowd and the glamorous costumes all show that this is the richest and most majestic place in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Rupei knows very well that he temporarily saved this well-known capital at home and abroad, if Huang Chao captures the capital, the prosperity in front of him will be difficult to exist, remember that Huang Chao evacuated the capital Chang'an, and when the emperor returned to Chang'an from Xichuan, the population here dropped sharply. The prosperity is not there, it looks like a bleak scene, the palace and the Daming Palace, even overgrown with weeds, there are hares shuttling among them, the population in Chang'an City is less than one-tenth of the original.

As Li Rupei, who has a hegemonic heart in his heart, he must ensure that cities such as Chang'an and Luoyang are not particularly damaged, because of these serious damages. In the end, he needs to recover.

The neat ranks of the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army and the breathtaking momentum exuded made the people around them marvel, but they were even more surprised by the youth of Li Rupei, the king of Yi, and saw Li Rupei in the middle of the team. Many people can't believe their eyes, they are clearly a handsome and elegant scholar, but they can lead the iron-blooded army. defeated Huangchao, and opened a road to trade in the extremely complicated Longyou Road. Let the surrounding barbarians not dare to mess around.

Envy is certain, and many people lament Cui Anqian's good life. The youngest daughter of the Cui family is even more wealthy.

The special forces around Li Rupei concentrated the highest attention, they didn't care about appreciating the prosperity of Chang'an City, all they noticed was the surrounding situation, and any situation in the crowd couldn't hide from their eyes.

The speed of the team was very fast, and half an hour later, Li Rupei had already arrived at the gate of Cui's mansion.

The important people of the Cui family have come to the capital, the Cui family is in Henan Mansion, and the power is still good, and now there is an extraordinary prince who has become the son-in-law of Cui Mansion, and the power is even stronger.

Cui Anqian led everyone to wait outside the gate of the mansion in person, and when Li Rupei arrived, the door of the mansion was wide open, and the subordinates lit firecrackers.

Li Rupei had already dismounted, no matter what, Cui Anqian was his father-in-law, a real elder, and etiquette could not be waived, just when Li Rupei was about to salute, Cui Anqian strode forward, grabbed Li Rupei, said yes again and again, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes. Cui Anqian pulled Li Rupei and introduced the people of the Cui family around him one by one, and Li Rupei also respectfully greeted everyone.

Around Cui's mansion, they were quickly set up by special forces, and they would not let go of any blind spot to ensure the safety of the surroundings, which was a necessary subject in their daily training, and they did it in an orderly manner.

The lively people around are far away, but they still see the actions of the special forces, and everyone whispers about it, and they have a clearer understanding of this rumored and famous army.

The banquet had already been prepared, and Li Rupei and his entourage entered the mansion, and after washing up a little, they went to the banquet immediately.

Cui Anqian has already packed up the best south courtyard in the mansion for Li Rupei to rest, Liu Yunzhang and Gao Chibang and others have arranged it in the middle courtyard, which is also one of the best places in the mansion.

Before the banquet began, Li Rupei first went to meet Cui Anqian's wife, that is, Cui Hanlei's mother.

Holding a sandalwood box in his hand, Li Rupei couldn't help but smile bitterly, he remembered that the elders gave gifts to the younger generations after meeting, and this etiquette was through the ancient and modern.

At the banquet, everyone came to toast Li Rupei.

Just when the banquet was lively, someone came to the palace.

The people in the palace brought the emperor's edict and asked Li Rupei to come to the Zichen Hall the next day, and the emperor summoned him.

Cui Anqian hurriedly gave the eunuch in the palace a hundred taels of silver, today is the day of great joy in the Cui Mansion, and the emperor's edict brought by the eunuch made the festive atmosphere of the mansion even stronger.

The last time Liu Yunzhang came to the capital, the emperor summoned him on the same day, but after Li Rupei came to the capital, the emperor summoned him the next day, and there is still a difference, that is, the identities of Li Rupei and Liu Yunzhang are completely different.

Liu Yunzhang came to the capital, and before he had time to rest, he entered the Daming Palace, but after Li Rupei came to the capital, he needed to watch it, needed to rest well, and went to the Daming Palace the next day.

After the eunuch departed, the banquet continued.

Li Rupei's spirit is very good, and he can't see the fatigue of the long-distance run at all, which is due to his youth, of course, it is also related to the exercise on weekdays, in the banquet, Li Rupei is very attentive, all the important people of the Cui family introduced by Cui Anqian, Li Rupei is holding a wine glass and drinking a glass of wine in one go.

Everyone was also impressed by Li Rupei's amazing amount of alcohol.

When the banquet was over and I returned to the South Courtyard, it was already three o'clock.

Cui Anqian personally sent Li Rupei to the South Courtyard.

After the two sat down in the living room, except for Liu Yunzhang and Gao Chibang and others, the rest took the initiative to avoid it.

Xie Yuxin, Qin Erhei and the others returned to their respective rooms, and after taking a little look, they came to the outside of the living room, this is their habit, waiting outside, to see if Li Rupei will have any arrangements.

There is no need to chat, Li Rupei and Cui Anqian This is the first time they have met, but after this meeting, they don't know when the next meeting will be, so a lot of things need to be said thoroughly.

Li Rupei was very direct and spoke first.

"Father-in-law, the son-in-law has written a letter to the emperor, recommending the father-in-law to serve as the secretary of the Pingzhang and the Ministry of War."

Cui Anqian's body shook slightly, such a position, he didn't dare to imagine, it was the prime minister who held the military power, although such a position is difficult to really grasp the power in the capital, but with Li Rupei behind him, the situation is completely different, who doesn't know the bravery of the iron-blooded army.

"The emperor will summon tomorrow, the son-in-law will directly talk about this matter, and implore the emperor to decree, the situation in the capital is very complicated, the eunuchs control the government, and the civil and military officials can't say anything at all, the son-in-law thinks that this situation is very abnormal, so he recommends his father-in-law to serve as the secretary of the military department, suppress the monstrous power of the eunuchs, and the father-in-law will have a heavy burden in the future, but the father-in-law should not worry, the son-in-law has already laid out some candidates in the capital, and these people will help the father-in-law in the future to overcome many difficulties, These people are the most elite soldiers of the Iron Army, and they are also the most trusted subordinates of the son-in-law, so let them assist the father-in-law, and the son-in-law can rest assured. ”

As soon as Li Rupei finished speaking, Cui Anqian spoke.

"The prince trusts, and he will do his best."

"Father-in-law, don't say that, it's all one family, don't talk about two families."

After saying that, Li Rupei escaped from his body and wrote a letter, which is the list of people he laid in the capital, of course, among these people, some people still need to lurk in secret, but most of them want to follow Cui Anqian's side.

While Cui An was sneaking into the list, Li Rupei nodded at Gao Chibang.

Gao Chibang walked to the door and whispered a few words to Qin Erhei who came up.

A quarter of an hour later, Yan Fu walked into the room.

"Father-in-law, this person is Yan Fu, if he stays in the iron-blooded army, at least he will be a general, Yan Fu's position, please ask your father-in-law to help arrange it, and he will follow your father-in-law in the future."

Yan Fu hurriedly bowed.

"Subordinate Yan Fu, meet Cui Gong."

Cui Anqian nodded repeatedly.

"Yan Lang doesn't have to be polite, in the future, when he does things with you, he will serve the prince."

Despite saying this, Cui Anqian's face still had some doubts.

"Lord Wang, this Pingzhang matter is also the secretary of the Ministry of War, and it has always been controlled by Tian Lingzi and others, if the emperor does not agree, the prince does not have to be reluctant, something can be understood."

A smile appeared on Li Rupei's face.

"Although the father-in-law can rest assured, the son-in-law has always done what he says, I believe that the emperor will adopt it, after all, this world is the world of Li Tang, Tian Lingzi and others, usurping power, the sky is angry and resentful, if the emperor can't wake up, I'm afraid he will lose more support."

Hearing Li Rupei's words, Cui Anqian's face also showed a smile, he knew very well that although Tian Lingzi and others controlled the court situation and the Shence Army, they still had no good way to face the really powerful feudal town, not to mention Li Rupei's identity, and Tian Lingzi and others were also very smart and would not collide with Li Rupei clearly.
