Chapter 281: King Zheng Returns to Beijing
Zhu Kuang remembered from this point, and smiled at Han Xizai: "Han Shilang, what else can you have, you are about to return to Beijing, and the last general is here to invite you to my house to drink a few glasses of water and wine, and talk about the meaning of sending each other." ”
Han Xizai replied helplessly: "Thank you Zhu Du, I thought it was something urgent, I'll ...... later."
Zhu Kuangcong said: "Why not be in a hurry? You're going back tomorrow, and we don't know when we'll see each other again! Han Shilang, you were ordered to come to pick up His Royal Highness back to Beijing this time, and His Majesty will definitely be happy, maybe he will immediately issue an order to promote you, and it is exciting to think about it. Han Shilang Tao is slightly full of chests, it is the time to show his talents, don't forget to take care of our Wuping Town in the future! ”
Han Xizai hurriedly waved his hand and smiled bitterly, but when he saw Zhang Zi, he frowned and said: "Whether Han Shilang is promoted or not depends on His Majesty's wishes, is it something that you should ask about as a local general?" It is not a small sin to criticize the appointment and dismissal of court officials. ”
Zhu Kuang turned his eyes from anger and rebuked directly: "Sin? Why don't you cure it? You're a great guts! Did you hear that you were about to return to Beijing, and immediately revealed your true form? Lao Tzu tells you, Zhang Zi, what the court wants is for His Royal Highness King Zheng to return to Beijing, and you Zhang Zi can't go back, but no one mentions it. If you say one more thing, Lao Tzu will let you go back with only one head! ”
"Your Highness!" Zhang Zi was frightened, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he hurriedly walked in front of Li Congjia, bowing down with a poignant expression.
In the end, trapped in other people's territory, Li Congjia was extremely helpless even if he was full of anger in his heart, in his opinion, at this time, his heart was thinking of returning to Beijing, and in order to return to Beijing, he would rather pay any price. Zhang Zi, who is a little literati from a humble background, the most important thing in Datang is that he is a dancer and a writer, and he will not hesitate to give it up when he has to.
Seeing that Li Congjia remained silent, Han Xizai was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stopped: "Nonsense, Zhu Du, don't be reckless!" If you mess around again, I will definitely tell the Metropolitan Governor Haosheng. ”
"Don't, don't." Zhu Kuang muttered from a young age: "Where is the last general messing around?" Han Shilang, you also heard it, it was this little white face who kept saying that he wanted to cure my crimes, damn ......"
Han Xizai pouted and said: "How much does the Metropolitan Governor value you, don't always scold and scold the dignified leading generals, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the Metropolitan Governor if it is spread out?" ”
Zhu Kuang rolled up his sleeves, waved his swarthy arms, and said with a smile: "Hey, the Metropolitan Governor is also very important to the last general, also because the last general can fight, and the last general has great strength, so let's ride a horse, shoot arrows, dance with knives and guns, which is not good?" Scolding, that's a habit, it's just a small problem, a small problem hehe......"
"Okay, Zhu Duzhi. If nothing else, go out first, and I will look for you later." Han Xizai was too lazy to talk to Zhu Kuang, interrupting his words and said decisively.
Zhu Kuangcong nodded happily, then turned to Zhang Zidao again: "You give me honesty!" Today, I'm giving Han Shilang face, otherwise I'll have to cut a few catties of meat off you! ”
Zhang Zi opened his eyes, swallowed his saliva and trembled and arched his hand: "Yes, yes, keep in mind below." Then he turned around and saw that Li Congjia had nothing to do with himself, and closed his eyes, Zhang Zi suddenly showed a look of disappointment.
Han Xizai patted Zhu Kuangcong's shoulder and said, "Go back." ”
Zhu Kuang was never noncommittal, and Han Xizai and Li Congjia arched their hands respectively, and then turned around and lifted the curtain and left.
Han Xizai muttered and sighed: "It's really a tiger general, but this style is not worry-free." ”
Li Congjia suddenly smiled and said: "As a military general in the army, it is normal to act recklessly and perversely, and it is not harmful. Han Shilang, since he is going to leave tomorrow, there are still many things to prepare before leaving. After that, the mountain is high and the road is far away, and you will have to work hard. ”
Han Xizai frowned, and then arched his hand: "Your Highness, rest assured, the official also brought five hundred forbidden troops on this trip, and accompanied the guards along the way, and you will be sent back to Jinling safely." ”
Li Congjia hurriedly said: "Thank you Han Shilang, I am relieved to have these guards of the forbidden army in this king." ”
Han Xizai nodded and said, "Your Highness, the lower official will retire first." You can leave early tomorrow morning, and the lower officials will pick you up here. ”
Li Congjia got up and arched his hand, and then Han Xizai bowed and left.
Throughout the afternoon, Han Xizai was busy, first went to the governor's mansion to see Li Yuan, after the two exchanged a few polite words, Han Xizai took Li Yuan's warrant out of the house, ran to the various yamen warehouses, received the necessary things such as grain, straw, clothing and other necessary things needed along the way, and then went to the military camp in the south of the city to receive a hundred good horses, and under the escort of the Wuping sergeant, they were handed over to the 500 forbidden troops stationed in the east of the city.
Before leaving for Beijing, the road from Langzhou to Jinling is far away, and the required materials must be prepared neatly, but in the end, it is allocated by the local festival town, although the coordination and running are complicated, Han Xizai still ran down personally, and it was not basically arranged until dark, and then Han Xizai knocked on the door of Zhu Kuangcong's house as promised, and it seemed that he was preparing to have a good drink with Zhu Kuangcong on the last night of Langzhou City......
After Li Yuan had dinner at home, he also gathered everyone in the back house to announce the news that Li Congjia, the king of Zheng, was about to return to Beijing.
"If it weren't for the fact that he was a bullshit prince, based on the actions of those thieves to Sister Ah that day, I would definitely break him into pieces, and I would never let him go back! Brother-in-law, don't worry, I have grown up now, and I will be able to better protect my sisters in the future. ”
Wang Jingguo's immature face was full of unwillingness and determination, Li Yuan touched his head with a smile, and looked around at the wives and concubines around him, especially Emperor Zhou E's every move.
But Zhou Ehuang obviously carried it clearly, after experiencing the last incident, she was already disgusted with Li Congjia's pompous face, and she hated this person even more, at this time, seeing Li Yuan suddenly looking at himself, he was relieved to bloom a sweet smile, which suddenly made Li Yuan feel like a spring breeze.
In the early morning of the next day, the sky of Langzhou fell with a long rain, it was already the beginning of winter, and the weather was a little cold, but this could not stop the pace of Zheng Wang Li from leaving the city and returning to Beijing.
At the gate of the post house, Li Congjia, accompanied by Han Xizai, held Li Yuan's hands and behaved for a while, got into the car with the support of Zhang Zi, and was escorted by 500 soldiers of the forbidden army out of the east gate of Langzhou and went straight to the official road.
According to the rules of the imperial court, Li Yuan led several generals all the way to the side of the official road, in order to show their feelings of farewell, and lingered for a long time, until Li Congjia's car disappeared from sight, and Li Yuan's men and horses turned around and went all the way back to the west to the city.
