Chapter 610: Return to Beijing
It was bustling, and the people's hearts were boiling.
The crowd gathered more and more, Li Qinzai was surrounded in the middle, and the people knelt down and worshiped as if they were worshipping the Buddha, and their pious and grateful looks were touching.
Li Qinzai was a little embarrassed, he felt that he should not accept this big gift.
At the beginning, it was really just a duty to rescue Shanzhou, and any commander with a little sense of responsibility would not sit idly by in the face of the life and death of tens of thousands of people.
But he didn't expect that the people would regard their kindness as greater than the sky, and the scene of flocking to kneel and worship made Li Qinzai feel at a loss.
He never thought about what one of his decisions would bring to the people of the city.
The helpless Li Qinzai gave Liu Asi a look, and Liu Asi led his subordinates forward to rescue Li Qinzai from the crowd.
Changyi was about to say goodbye to the people, but Li Qinzai didn't expect that their enthusiasm was still undiminished.
The people, who were obviously deserters, took out countless foods from their luggage, eggs, rice balls, bran cakes, and a few taels of dried meat that they were reluctant to eat all the way.
went one after another to stuff the treasured food into the arms of Li Qinzai and his subordinates, and couldn't help but say, with a resolute attitude, if you don't accept it, you won't give face.
Li Qinzai's attitude this time was very firm, it was all the food for the people's lives, and he couldn't ask for the slightest.
So a strict order was immediately issued, and the subordinates were strictly forbidden to collect any food from the people, and violators of military law were dealt with.
The subordinates were also frightened, and no one dared to accept the military order, and almost knelt down to beg for mercy to the enthusiastic people.
The two sides were entangled for a while, and finally, Li Qinzai and his subordinates bid farewell to the people and rode on their horses.
After running all the way out of dozens of miles, Li Qinzai breathed a sigh of relief.
Returning the favor is too enthusiastic, but it also makes people feel pressure, and Li Qinzai really can't bear this overwhelming amount of gratitude.
The speed of the team's march slowed down again, this time Li Qinzai learned wisely, and walked all the way with a mask, just because the desert was windy and sandy, and he could also protect his handsome face.
Cui Sheng rode on the horse, looked at him with complicated eyes, and suddenly sighed: "The husband should be like this." ”
"Huh? What does it mean? Li Qinzai turned his head to look at him.
Cui Sheng shook his head and said: "I think I, Cui Sheng, am also familiar with poetry and books, and I am familiar with the scriptures, and I still don't fall into his ambition, but after all, I have lived in the poetry of Qionglin for half my life, and I don't know the suffering of the world." ”
"I've read a lot of books, I think I've learned morality and etiquette, and I've stepped on the avenue, but I don't know that I'm still selfish and shameless, and I've read poetry and books for many years in vain."
"The people's heart is the avenue. Li Jingchu, thank you for teaching me. ”
Choi Seung's eyes were very sincere, and this time his gaze was no longer hostile, and Lee Khunjae even found a flash of respect in his eyes.
Li Qinzai was quite surprised, this eldest brother has always been at odds with him, but today he saw that the people were grateful and bowed to him, so he changed his character?
"Uh, uncle, you don't have to be so serious...... Li Qinzai said euphemistically: "I still like the unruly you you used to be, please recover." ”
Cui Sheng shook his head and said: "I finally understand why Your Majesty values you so much, you have the ability to be one of them, but the important thing is that Your Majesty sees people more accurately than me, he knows that you have compassion and good thoughts to help the world and the people, you seem to be lazy and have no ambitions, but you live a pure and transparent life than anyone else." ”
"Cui Mou was just going out of Beijing to proclaim the decree, but I didn't expect to get this education, and I will be used for a lifetime, and the road I seek should change from now on."
Li Qinzai sighed: "Whether it is the people or you, in fact, you don't have to pull me up so high, do everything only with your heart, do good and bad, have no guilt in your heart, and have no regrets until you die, this is the meaning of life." ”
Suddenly with a smile, Li Qinzai hooked Cui Sheng's shoulder and said, "For the sake of your admiration for me so much, why don't you repay Qiong Yao for my uncle?" ”
"What do you mean?"
"This trip to the northwest, I really lost a lot, not only did I not catch oil and water, but also spent a lot of money, anyway, I am also the son-in-law of the Cui family, the old man is not there, don't you feel sorry for your brother-in-law? After returning to Chang'an, I will be more or less compensated, if Jie'er knows that her brother is so righteous, she will definitely respect you more and more......"
Cui Sheng's face turned cold, and a word burst out from between his teeth: "Get out." ”
Lee Chin-jae regretfully withdrew his hand.
I thought I had gained a hardcore fan, but who knew that it was a black fan, so I didn't consume it, and I scolded the idol......
…………
The group hurried for half a month, and after entering the customs, it was encountering heavy snowfall, and the team had to slow down.
The snow road is difficult to walk, muddy and muddy, Liu Asi suggested finding a museum in Jingzhou City to live for a few days, and then returning to Chang'an after the snow stops.
Li Qinzai immediately refused.
From the day he set off, Li Qinzai was like an arrow, thinking about his family, his mother-in-law, and his son.
Seeing that the New Year is coming, how can you waste time in an unfamiliar city?
Climb and climb back.
The team then continued to march the snow road, and after more than ten days of climbing over the mountains, they finally saw the outline of Chang'an City that had been lost for a long time.
Riding on a horse, Li Qinzai looked at the towering and undulating Chang'an city wall in the distance, a hot mist rose from the bottom of his eyes, and he let out a breath, and the white mist was like smoke.
"It's home!" Li Qinzai said excitedly.
The more than 30 subordinates behind him completely unloaded the fatigue of the journey, raised their swords and raised their arms and cheered.
Cheerful roars and tears flowed down the cheeks.
When they left Chang'an, there were more than 200 parts, but when they came back, there were only more than 30 people left, and everyone couldn't help but feel a burst of grief and sorrow.
After a long time in secret, Li Qinzai raised his horsewhip and said, "Let's go home first." ”
Cui Sheng suddenly grabbed his arm and said, "Your Majesty has a will, after Li Jingchu arrives in Chang'an, he will enter the palace to face the saint." ”
Li Qinzai was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "Why is Your Majesty so anxious......
Cui Sheng was also stunned, and then pointed at him: "You have the courage to say this in front of Your Majesty, I respect you as a man." ”
The group hurried to the gate of Yanping in Chang'an, and Li Qinzai and others consciously dismounted and walked on foot, leading the horses into Chang'an City.
Holding back the thoughts of his family, wife and children, Li Qinzai instructed his subordinates to go home to report the news, while he and Cui Sheng walked towards Taiji Palace together.
…………
British Mansion.
Recently, the British government was quite lively, and it was already a close of the year, and several of Li Tao's children and grandchildren who were officials abroad had returned to Chang'an.
For Cui Jie and Buck'er, many relatives have not yet met, originally Cui Jie and Buck'er were quite cramped and nervous, but they didn't expect the descendants of the Li family to be very affectionate and friendly to Cui Jie and Buck'er, Cui Jie and Buck'er were not so nervous, and gradually became a real family with them.
The people in the mansion have been jubilant recently, and the military report of Tuyuhun has already reached Chang'an City, and the people of the Li Mansion are clear about what Li Qinzai has done in Tuyuhun.
When they learned that Li Qinzai had single-handedly pacified the northwest and driven Tubo back to the plateau, the Tang Dynasty had completely incorporated Tuyuhun into the territory, and the Li Mansion was boiling.
On the day the army reported to Chang'an, Li Tao made an exception to hold a banquet in the mansion, singing and dancing for entertainment, that night, Li Tao was drunk, and he still kept talking about the successors in the lake, and the family business was prosperous.
Cui Jie was also so excited that she burst into tears.
Fujun has never disappointed her, he is not only a big hero in his eyes, but also a big hero in the eyes of the world.
