Chapter 439: Return to Chang'an
Li Shen and Li Chengqian are like arrows, and the further south they go, the easier the road is, although the weather is also relatively cold, but there is no point where you have to pee with a stick like Goguryeo.
And whether it is the prince Liuyu or Li Shen's guards, they all ride horses, and although the materials they bring are carriages, the marching speed is definitely much faster than that of the infantry.
In less than a month, they were already outside Chang'an City,
The journey was relatively smooth, and there was no delay, mainly because the two of them were in a hurry to go home.
This time when he came back, he didn't have to enter the city at any time like Li Shen, Li Chengqian calculated the time and set off two hours in advance.
There was still an hour before the gate was closed, and the two of them had already arrived at the gate.
The guards guarding the city saw that there was a prince's guard of honor and did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported to the general.
The two stood in front of the city gate and watched Chang'an City for a long time, as if they were in another world.
It's freezing on the outside, but it's bustling on the inside.
Both of them knew the rules, and ordered their men and horses to return to the station, and only brought their own guards into the city, and as soon as they arrived at the city gate, they saw Wang De waiting at the city gate.
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince, King Ji has returned triumphantly, the old slave has been waiting here for a long time, Your Majesty has a decree, let the two of you enter the palace immediately to face the saint."
Seeing the two of them, Wang De said with a smiling old face.
Li Chengqian is still relatively polite to Wang De, knowing that this is Li Shimin's most trusted person, and he has respected Wang De since he was a child.
"There's King Lao in charge."
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince is polite." Wang De is a smart man and knows what his identity is.
"Oh, Lao Wang, you are fat, as soon as you see you in the palace, you see how thin this king has become." Li Shen also saw the big one from Wang De from a young age, but this guy has never seen Wang De.
And Wang De also likes Li Shen the most, so he and Li Shen are much closer relatives than other princes, which is also known to Li Shimin.
Wang De was not angry when he heard Li Shen ridicule like this, and his smile was even better, and he said to Li Shen:
"Your Royal Highness King Ji, don't make fun of the old slave, the old slave accompanies His Majesty all day long, where do you dare to be powerful."
"Okay, okay, I don't know how greasy you are, come here to reward you, this cold day makes you wait for us here, Aya doesn't know how distressed I am."
After Li Shen finished speaking, he took two gold bars from the stone and handed them to Wang De, Li Chengqian on the side looked stupid, not to mention that Li Chengqian was even stupid to the soldiers who defended the city.
Is there any serious illness in this King Ji, who openly bribed the head of the harem, and is also Li Shimin's personal eunuch and the leader of the harem.
Is this because you have a long life?
Li Chengqian only heard that Li Shen and Li Shimin had fought wits and courage since childhood, and he had bribed Li Shimin, but he had never heard Li Shimin say anything about Li Shen bribing Wang De.
These are two different things, bribing Li Shimin is just Li Shimin playing with you, but Wang De is different, even he doesn't dare to contact Wang De and Li An too much,
Not to mention any bribery, his younger brother is crazy, or he really doesn't understand this.
This is a big taboo, and if you don't get Li Shen right, you will be punished.
Just when Li Chengqian wanted to stop it, the next scene shocked him even more, Wang De actually took Li Shen's two small yellow croakers with a smile,
And said to Li Shen with a smile:
"Oh, King Ji is polite, this is all a matter ordered by His Majesty, and the old slave is also carrying out His Majesty's will, so the old slave will thank His Royal Highness King Ji for the reward."
He accepted it, he actually accepted it, and Wang De actually accepted Li Shen's reward. This is Li Chengqian's inner monologue at the moment.
I saw that Li Shen did wave his hand lightly, indicating that he did not need to thank him, and continued:
"It's just a little meaning, this king hasn't rewarded others for a long time, and some hands have been born recently."
This sentence made the defenders of the city and Li Chengqian fall down.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness King Ji, then follow the old slave into the palace." Wang De said respectfully.
Then the two got into the carriage and followed Wang De to the palace.
In the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin was reviewing the folds, when Wang De walked in and said to Li Shimin:
"Everyone, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Ji have been picked up and are waiting outside the palace."
"Oh, I'm coming back pretty quickly, and I thought it would be like last time, when our King Ji was ready to attack the city. Let them in. Li Shimin raised his head and said
Li Chengqian and Li Shen came in and saluted Li Shimin.
"I've seen Ayer."
"Aye, I haven't seen Aya for a few months, and I'm still so mighty and extraordinary, dragon...."
"Okay, you've said this several times, and you haven't grown at all, and I told you to study hard, and you have to go into business." Li Shimin interrupted Li Shen's sycophancy,
Li Shenlai used these words every time, and he was a little happy to hear them at first, but he was tired of hearing them all the time.
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he stood up and walked down the steps, came to Li Chengqian's face, patted Li Chengqian's arm with his hand, and then said with a smile:
"Yes, I'm a lot stronger, and I'm a lot more energetic."
"Thank you Aya for the compliment." Li Chengqian hurriedly replied.
He doesn't have Li Shen's ability, he can talk and laugh in front of Li Shimin, he can't see the restraint at all, and he can even play a little smart.
I heard that Li Shimin was going to beat Li Shen, and Li Shen ran away twice, and Li Shimin chased after him, and when he first saw it, he thought it was a myth.
The first thought is to spread falsehood, it is absolutely false, if the emperor wants to beat someone, will anyone dare to run? Don't die,
But later, after Li Chengqian saw it with his own eyes, he believed that this was true, and at that time he felt that his younger brother could be said to be bold. didn't take the emperor seriously at all, he was afraid that Li Shimin's identity as a father would be better than the identity of the emperor.
"Aya, you see I'm a lot stronger too," Li Shen bent his arm beside him, wanting to show off his biceps.
Li Shimin didn't even glance at it, and said to Li Chengqian:
"Go to the study and talk."
Saying that, he walked towards the study alone, Li Chengqian glanced at Li Shen, and Li Shen said to Li Chengqian very seriously:
"Big brother, you see I'm really a lot stronger," he said and showed off again.
Li Chengqian turned his head and followed Li Shimin.
"Hey~~? What I'm saying is true. After speaking, he pinched it twice with his hand.
When the two walked into Li Shimin's study, Li Shimin was making tea himself, and Li Shen hurried over to offer his courtesy.
"Aye, let's come on."
Li Shimin didn't argue, gave way to the position, Li Shen skillfully began to clean the tea bowl and began to make tea,
Li Shen is very familiar with this set of tea sets, he also has one at home, there are only two sets in the whole Tang Dynasty or the world, and his set was stolen from Li Shimin, and Li Shimin only knew about it later.
(Yesterday I said that I would let you share your experience, and there are all kinds of experience sharing, and a few people told me that you started in second gear, big brother, you are from a big flip bucket.)
It's so out of tune with you,
Today I went home and cleaned up the earth and dismissed the meeting. )
