In the Chengxin Hall, Young Eunuch Liu personally led Li Yuan to meet him, and as soon as the emperor Li Jing, who was sitting on the soft couch, saw Li Yuan enter, the gloom on his face immediately disappeared, and he immediately straightened up, smiled and said, "Li Yuan, let me wait for a long time."

Li Yuan saw that after the ceremony, he sat down and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, how can the minister He De let His Majesty be so concerned."

Young Eunuch Liu smiled leisurely on the side: "Grand Duke, you are the World Guardian Huo, and you are loyal to Your Majesty, Your Majesty naturally misses you all the time!"

Li Jing smiled and said, "The young eunuch is right, I like a loyal and brave person like Li Yuan the most."

This singing and harmonizing, as the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, Li Yuan was suddenly a little confused, how many times have he won battles before, he has never heard the emperor say such crooked words, today is taking the wrong medicine? So he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's intelligence is shallow, and the military exploits he has obtained are also blessed by God's grace, plus the soldiers used their lives, so they were lucky to get it, how dare the minister?"

Young Eunuch Liu stroked his beard and smiled, "Why don't you dare to be the governor of the capital? Who among the young leaders of my Datang can be on your right?"

Li Jing nodded and said, "Yes, just now I talked to the young eunuch about you being only twenty-one years old, and I suddenly remembered when I was twenty-one years old. When I was twenty-one years old, my father was the emperor of the country, and my fate changed since then, but at that time, I was confused by everything that came suddenly, and I only knew that I drank and had fun every day, and I didn't know anything about military affairs.

Li Jing is talking about the three years of Yang Wu Tianzuo (937) before he ascended the throne, when the martyr Li Yu was still called Xu Zhihe, and the Tang Dynasty was still called Daqi at first, Li Jing also changed from the son-in-law of an important minister of a dynasty to the eldest son of the emperor of the new dynasty in the blink of an eye.

By the way, Li Jing, who was 21 years old at the time, was still called Li Jingtong, and "Jing" was the name he changed after he ascended the throne, which means "beautiful jade brilliance".

Seeing that this moment instantly reminded the emperor of the past, and it was a ridiculous time, Liu Shaojian naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense. Li Yuan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty was a hidden dragon in the abyss at that time, and he only waited for the opportunity to fly above the nine heavens. The minister believed that His Majesty was drinking and having fun at that time, and he must not be indulging in flashy extravagance, but being clumsy and obscure, and as for being familiar with military affairs, His Majesty was the son of God, and naturally there were ancestors and gods to teach him.

How can the minister's twenty-one years old compare with His Majesty's twenty-one years old? Now the vast territory of my Tang Dynasty is created in the hands of His Majesty, and if the light of His Majesty is like the light of the sun and the moon, our courtiers will be like fireflies of rice, how can we compete with it?"

Li Jing laughed and said, "Li Yuan, Li Yuan, I love to listen to you, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter! Li Yuan, did the young eunuch teach you how to speak in front of me? Young eunuch, you can just say some things that I like to hear on weekdays, but don't teach Li Yuan badly."

Young Eunuch Liu scratched his head and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave has been wronged, what qualifications does the old slave have, how dare he teach the Metropolitan Governor to speak, these are all his own words, and it has nothing to do with the old slave. Your Majesty is happy to come to find the old slave again."

Li Jing laughed and said, "How can I find you happy? You're here again, don't you have a crush on something in my inner library again? Last time it was my Akiyama painting, but what is it this time? Could it be this dragon's spine ink on the Imperial Case?"

Young Eunuch Liu smiled and said, "If Your Majesty can really reward the old slave with that ink, the old slave will feel that Your Majesty is not looking for the old slave to be happy."

Then Li Jing and Liu Shaojian laughed loudly, and immediately taught Li Yuan that the second monk was confused, and in such an embarrassing atmosphere today, he hurriedly shouted that he entered the palace just to joke? If Li Yuan hadn't understood Li Jing's heart, I'm afraid he would have really been fooled. However, since he is already in the Chengxin Hall, he must not answer indiscriminately, and see what the emperor wants to sing first.

I saw Li Jing pointing at Young Eunuch Liu's nose and saying, "What do I say about you." The young eunuch of the inner court, my confidant, asks me for this and that every day like a beggar, and then the dragon's spine will reward you."

Young Eunuch Liu saluted loudly and thanked him, and Li Jing stroked his beard and smiled, looking very happy.

Li Yuan watched with a smile on the sidelines, secretly surprised in his heart. The scene in front of me is probably the one that Liu Shaojian and Li Jing get along

is a kind of practical normality, you must know that the emperor and the eunuchs can get along in this kind of joking and laughing way, which shows how intimate Liu Shaojian has reached in Li Jing's mind, but this is not a good thing in Li Yuan's opinion.

Li Jing turned his head and looked at Li Yuan with a smile and said, "Li Yuan, you are also here today, I even rewarded the old dog slave, if I don't reward you with something, I can't say anything." Tell me yourself, what do you want?"

The main topic is finally here, is this a test of yourself? Li Yuan hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "The minister doesn't dare to ask His Majesty for things, His Majesty has already given rich rewards for his previous military exploits, and now the ministers are not rewarded for their merits."

Young Eunuch Liu interjected with a smile, "Metropolitan Governor, what are you talking about? If you want to say this, the old slave must return all the things that Your Majesty has rewarded?"

Li Jing echoed and smiled, "Yes, you are forcing the young eunuch to return all the things he got from me."

Li Yuan was puzzled, but still smiled, "Is that so? That's a suddenness, Your Majesty, you can give a random gift to the minister, and whatever Your Majesty gives the minister will regard it as a family heirloom."

Li Jing shook his head and said, "What's the point of that? The things I give you will be what you desire, and if I give you something you don't like, and if you are not happy, will I not be even more unhappy?"

Li Yuan raised his head and thought about it, and wanted to say, if you really have the heart, you can reward me with 10 million yuan first, or ten cities. But I knew it wasn't possible. In addition, Li Yuan suddenly didn't know what he wanted, and froze there for a while.

At this time, Young Eunuch Liu seemed to have discussed with Li Jing in advance, and after seeing Li Jing wink at him, he said softly at the right time: "Your Majesty, Governor Li is the envoy of the border town, shouldering the heavy responsibility of guarding one side, and he is also the number one general of my Tang Dynasty.

The old slave suggested that His Majesty should reward him with a magic weapon, so that he could make more meritorious contributions for the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty, and fight bravely to kill the enemy. The old slave sees, the sword hanging in your majesty's study is a reward for him."

Li Jing laughed and said, "It's still the young eunuch's quick mind and eyesight. This sword of mine is a divine weapon handed down by the first emperor, invincible, and this is the sword of the Son of Heaven. Li Yuan, do you know the meaning of the Sword of the Son of Heaven, holding this sword means that if I come in person, I can order the six armies of the forbidden army, that is my token!"

Li Yuan's heart moved, and he vaguely knew the true meaning of today's scene, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Your Majesty's Son of Heaven Sword, how dare the minister dare to overstep it? Your Majesty, the minister still wants to keep this life for a few more years of fighting for Your Majesty!"

Li Jing slowly put away his smile, and suddenly became serious and said in a deep voice: "Li Yuan, I have been living in the Deep Palace for a long time now, and this Heavenly Sword is useless. I am not giving it to you today for you to play with, haven't you heard what the young eunuch said?

I want you to defend the country with this sword and make meritorious contributions to my killing of the enemy."
