Dragon fights in Tang Dynasty

On January 16th, the 24th year of Zhenguan, the heavy snow stopped for the first time, and the last snowfall before the arrival of spring lasted overnight, turning the whole Qizhou into a silver world. The thick snow on the road was illuminated by the sun, Reflecting the dazzling white light, even though it was noon, the weather was still extremely cold. It was not a busy season for farming, but no one would go out to sweep the snow at this time. Therefore, the snow on the official road was a bit ridiculously thick It is really not a good day for marching, but Li Zhen had to lead his troops to walk in the snow at such a time. Without him, the three Today's itinerary has been dragged on for six days, and if I don't rush to Qizhou, I'm afraid I'm going to be ginsenged in a book of "delaying official duties". In desperation, I can only force the screwdriver to do things to delay Procrastinating, eating and drinking, the officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army rushed towards Qizhou City. Fortunately, the campsite last night was not too far away from Qizhou. Li Zhen was slightly relieved to see the still tall city of Qizhou.

"Report, Your Majesty, His Majesty the King of Shu has led all the officials of Qizhou to wait for His Majesty at Wuliting." A personal guard of Li Zhen galloped over the snow from a distance, arrived in front of Li Zhen, and dismounted. , knelt down in the snow and reported loudly.

"En." Sitting on the horse, Li Zhenduan waved her hand to signal the guard to get up, then turned her head and gave orders to the group of Habayashi soldiers who were shrinking from the cold: "The whole army is marching. The whole army has a day off, so you can drink as much as you want!"

"Oh."

"yeah."

"awesome!"

……

All the way, the soldiers of the Habayashi Army, who were not active in their journey, immediately became energetic when they heard eating and drinking, and everyone cheered endlessly, so the marching speed, which was as slow as a snail, suddenly accelerated, and they never heard of this speech again. The old men complained about the thick snow and the slippery road, but they were planning how to get away with it when they arrived in Qizhou. Rao, Li Zhen knew the character of these old men well, and was still overwhelmed by the noise. It was angry and funny, but he didn't bother to take care of it. He urged the Xuelong horse under his crotch and rushed towards Qizhou City.

Qizhou is Shangzhou, with five counties under its jurisdiction: Wugong, Fengxiang, Meixian, Fufeng, and Qishan. After recasting, it is no longer comparable to the dilapidated small town when the Chu and Han were fighting each other. Since Li Min, the king of Shu, was entrusted with Qizhou, he has repeatedly built large-scale construction projects. At this time, Qizhou is already a prosperous town. Qizhou City, where it is located, has a population of nearly 20 households and nearly [-] people. It was considered a big city in the early Tang Dynasty. And Le, I have to say that the governance of Li Min, the king of Shu, is indispensable among them. Although the people complained that the king of Shu hunted too much, causing the farmland to be trampled, Qizhou can develop to the scale it is today. Encouraging business is inseparable. The people of Qizhou still support the King of Shu quite a lot. This can be seen from the scene of Wuliting at this moment.

Wuli Pavilion, formerly known as Ningxi Pavilion, is said to have been built by Ma Yuan, a famous general in the Han Dynasty. Because the pavilion is five miles away from the city, people in Qizhou call it Wuli Pavilion. Therefore, it is also called the Farewell Pavilion. It is not big, just a small pavilion with a square meter. It is dripping with water and covered with moss. In addition to the officials of various departments in Qizhou, thousands of people were waiting quietly outside the pavilion. Although there were many people, they were extremely silent. Everyone looked solemn, and many people even showed sad expressions on their faces. The eyes of King Shu in the pavilion were also full of pity.

"Here we come, here we come." There was a commotion in the crowd who was waiting quietly. I don't know if it was a shout. For a moment, everyone's eyes were turned to the distance of the official road, but they saw the flags flying in the distance. , a group of cavalry galloped towards Wuliting on snow and horses. The tall body of Li Yin, the King of Shu who was standing quietly in the pavilion, shook suddenly, shook off his big sleeves, and straightened his neat Dressed in court clothes, he strode out of the Wuliting Pavilion and came directly to the Baiguan. He bowed slightly and raised his eyes to look into the distance. After a while, the galloping cavalry came to the front, and the first person was Li Zhen, the king of Yue.

"Sixth brother, long time no see, I miss you little brother." When Li Zhen saw Li Yin who was waiting respectfully by the roadside, she hurriedly jumped off the horse, with a look of surprise on her face, she ran forward and gave Li Yin a call. Bear hug, strength is not small, although Li Yin is also a tall and strong person, but how can it compare with Li Zhen's natural supernatural power, immediately flushed by Li Zhen's hug, almost out of breath Come.

"Eighth brother, cough, eighth brother, brother misses you very much too, cough cough, misses you to death." Li Minming knew that Li Zhen did this on purpose, but he couldn't do anything about Li Zhen, so he could only cough and pant, and accompany Li Zhen in the performance It's a scene of brotherly love, but well, my heart is sour.

There is no way, the folks of this era talk about the word "love", and the play that should be performed must be performed according to the score. No, the two brothers are very involved in acting, and each babbles endlessly, stunned The common people who came to greet him together with the screwdriver were moved to tears, and finally finished talking about the brotherhood, and the two brothers were tired from acting, so Li Zhen waved her hand in a leisurely manner, indicating that she was holding the sacred decree and looked at it stupidly Hou Guoxiao, Yan's deputy envoy, delivered the imperial decree.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said..." After all the officials in Qizhou fell to their knees, Li Zhen began to preach according to the scriptures in a calm tone. Thank you, I have accepted the imperial decree, these are all clichés, and there is nothing to say at all, but at the moment Li Yin received the imperial decree, something happened-I don’t know who was there The crowd yelled: "Your Highness, you can't leave, the people of Qizhou can't leave you." Suddenly, the people of Qizhou, who had been kneeling on the ground, suddenly became chaotic, crying and crying for grievances. , all the young and old were clamoring for Li Yin to leave, and the scene suddenly got out of control.

Damn, Lao Liu is good at it. Damn, even Lao Mao's tricks of mobilizing the masses have been performed. It's amazing. Damn, dare to love the mass movement is really the quintessence of our Chinese nation?Li Zhen really didn't expect that Li Yin would do such a trick, but seeing the excited expressions of the people in Ziqizhou, it didn't seem fake, and she really had a high opinion of Lao Liu's administrative ability. Zhen knew that Lao Liu was not a simple reckless man, but after all, I heard people say that Lao Liu was tossing around in Qizhou, disturbing the peace of the people in Qizhou, and this is what Li Zhen's own "group" replied. Waiting for the content, but seeing these scenes now, Li Zhen immediately understood what was going on - not only Li Zhen, but all the courtiers were probably blinded by the sixth child, and at this moment it was so cold The drama of people's retention is really shocking enough.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Yue, you can't listen to slander and wrong His Royal Highness Shu just like that. The old man is willing to protect His Royal Highness Shu. His Royal Highness Shu is definitely not a villain. Your Highness, you have to be careful. "Just as Li Zhen was muttering in his heart, a pale old man leaned on a cane and led a dozen old men to come forward, talking non-stop, and making trembling gestures as he spoke. Kneeling and kowtowing to Li Zhen immediately made Li Zhen's scalp numb, and hurried forward, helped the old man up, and said politely: "Old man, you can't do it, you can't do it, if you have something to say, please speak slowly." It won't be too late, Xiao Wang just listen to it."

"Your Highness." The old man stood still tremblingly, took out a copy of the Manmin Watch from his sleeve, held it up in his hand and said, "Your Highness, we and the people of Qizhou can guarantee His Highness the King of Shu. Is His Highness the King of Shu good?" Officer, the imperial court must not lose His Highness the King of Shu. The old man is not very literate, and the article is not well written, but what is said here is all the truth. I hope that when His Highness returns to Beijing, don’t forget to help His Highness the King of Shu , don’t wrong His Highness the King of Shu.”

***Lao Six, I played a fairy trick with me, grandma is a bear, this kid is so fucking ruthless, even such a group of old men have taken advantage of it, so **** damn it!Li Zhen naturally understands that the director of this play is probably Lao Liu himself. The purpose is just to prevent Li Zhen from urging Li Yin to go on the road immediately, so as to create a favorable opportunity for the development of the next plan. But Zhen also felt that the sixth child was helpless, and at the moment when the crowd was furious, she couldn't explain the matter clearly. In desperation, she had no choice but to act out the drama, took the Wanminbiao from the old man, and didn't give up. Looking at the content, he just said kindly: "Master, Xiao Wang has written it down. It's cold, so you should go back to rest earlier. Xiao Wang will write a letter to Father and report the matter truthfully."

"That's good, that's good, so I'll leave it to Your Highness, I'll thank you, Your Highness, for making it happen." The old man was full of excitement, with tears and snot running all over his face, and with the comfort of Qizhou officials, he finally He let Li Zhen go, and turned back into the crowd tremblingly.

"Eighth brother, look, I just arrived at my brother's place, and I made it difficult for you. Alas, my brother is really sorry, why don't you go to the city first and return to Beijing after today?" The uncle withdrew, and the sixth child made his debut, saying with an embarrassed face.

Damn it, you're a ruthless brat!Li Zhen acted in an "emotional" scene for no reason, and she was extremely bored in her heart, but she couldn't say anything at this moment, she could only smile wryly: "If that's the case, let's go to the city together. "

Li Min, who was placed with Li Zhen, was so proud that he didn't sit in the sedan chair. He laughed, waved his hand and signaled his guards to lead the horse, got on the horse, looked at Li Zhen with a smile, and said, "Eighth brother, please! You and my brother How about a horse race today to see who gets to the city first?"

Horse racing? Damn, what kind of tricks does this kid want to play?Li Zhen was so troubled by the people of Qizhou, she couldn't help feeling that she was being led by the nose by Li Yin. Seeing Li Yin's proposal of a horse race, she couldn't help feeling suspicious, but it was difficult to refuse in front of everyone. Simply putting aside the doubts in my heart, he laughed and said: "Okay, then the first one will win, and the loser will be the host."

"Okay, it's a deal!" Li Yin laughed and raised the whip in his hand, and said loudly: "Drive!" The horse galloped towards Qizhou City in the distance, and Li Zhen was also busy when she saw this. Kicking the Xuelong colt's belly, they chased after it. The two brothers, one in front of the other, followed each other immediately. They each performed their equestrian skills and held everyone in Wuliting behind...
