The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 326

"Stop whoever comes!" With the shout of the city gate guard, a group of iron eagle swordsmen dressed in black stopped outside Chang'an City.This group of soldiers is not very old, but they are all good fighters on the battlefield, each of them kills like hemp, although there are only a few hundred people, but standing on the horse, it will give people the illusion of thousands of troops.

The soldiers raised their long swords and stepped on their horses. They pressed across the green grassland like a cliff, and stopped by the moat outside Chang'an City. The general in front of the cavalry team was wearing iron armor and stood on the spot. , kept looking towards the city.

He is Guo Ziyi.

I have already written a letter to lead some of the elite iron eagle swordsmen back to Chang'an today. Why don't the defenders let them go?Does His Majesty have any concerns about bringing these brothers into the city?Or something happened in the court?Although he was far away at the border, Guo Ziyi already knew the news that Zhang Jiuling had been demoted from Beijing. He was not familiar with the newly appointed prime minister, Li Linfu. He didn't prepare any meeting ceremony, but he made a fuss and took the opportunity to prevent himself from entering the city?
Although Guo Ziyi was full of resentment, he didn't dare to rush in blatantly. If he really led his troops to rush in, wouldn't it be treason if someone with a heart said it?But the sun was scorching, and the brothers behind him had been running overnight for several days, how could I expose them to the sun?For a while, I was very upset and couldn't make up my mind.He was the most outstanding general in the army, but he was constrained everywhere when he returned to the court. The reason was that although he was brave, he knew nothing about official skills, especially not good at cheating.

Just when he was in a hurry, a group of red chariots approached from the official road, and the sound of music and horns could be faintly heard.

In Guo Ziyi's astonishment, the red convoy had already driven a stone's throw away from the moat, and slowly slowed down.The red convoy was in stark contrast to Guo Ziyi's shiny black Iron Eagle Swordsman. It was a luxury car driven by four horses, covered with all kinds of spices, even the axles and other places were painted red, and the front was bright yellow. On the big flag, there is a Tang character embroidered with red thread, and dozens of knight guards stand on both sides, each of them is mighty and strong, and the momentum is not inferior to the iron eagle swordsman brought by Guo Ziyi.

Guo Ziyi looked at the frame and wondered, wondering who could use such a luxurious carriage.

After a while, Li Linfu was helped off by the guards below from the luxurious four-horse Qixiang carriage, and strode up to Guo Ziyi. The two maids behind him hurriedly followed closely with big copper plates in their hands. Li Linfu bowed his hands in front of Guo Ziyi's horse, He smiled and said, "General Guo, don't come here unharmed!"

Seeing that it was him, Guo Ziyi turned over and dismounted quickly, and beckoned the Iron Eagle Swordsman to dismount as well, then clasped his fists and said, "Prime Minister Li, what do you mean by being here?"Or is there another purpose?
Li Linfu seemed to have guessed Guo Ziyi's thoughts, and he held Guo Ziyi's hand and laughed loudly: "General, don't be surprised, this prime minister is here to reward the three armies on behalf of His Majesty!"

"Reward the three armies?" Guo Ziyi was stunned.

Li Linfu smiled and said: "The general is stationed at the border, and killed the thieves who coveted our Tang land from all over the world. How can His Majesty not reward the three armies when they return triumphantly today? To tell you the truth, the prime minister is just the first officer. I have prepared water and wine here for the general and the general." Let all the strong men have a drink, and your Majesty will lead the ministers to wait for the general at Xingqingmen!"

"Your Majesty came to pick him up in person? How dare you do that!" Guo Ziyi was speechless in surprise.

Li Linfu said with a smile: "General Guo has served the country, and he deserves this honor! Then please drink up to the full and enter the city with me. Don't make your majesty wait too long!"

"Should, should!" Guo Ziyi took the wine from the maid behind him and drank it all in one gulp, then declined Li Linfu's kindness to invite him to ride in the carriage with him, stepped on the horse again, and brought the iron eagle swordsman behind him. Entered the city mightily.

Li Linfu sat in the Qixiang car, thinking about Guo Ziyi.This time Li Longji sent him to be a comfort envoy to reward the three armies, which made him very excited as a new prime minister.Originally, a little Guo Ziyi was not worthy of his intentional acceptance, but if he wanted to support King Shou as the crown prince, he had to obtain the support of senior generals in the army.But Concubine Hui has a special status. Few generals in the army are willing to support the descendants of the Wu family. Only Guo Ziyi, who has received the favor of Concubine Hui, can be used as a breakthrough. Only he sincerely loyal to Concubine Hui, and then wins over others Not too late.Having made up his mind, he planned to set a table in the mansion after Li Longji hosted Guo Ziyi's palace banquet, and have a detailed discussion with this young general.

The iron eagle swordsman was in front, and the guard of honor convoy was behind. The mighty team attracted the people of Chang'an City to stop and watch.Seeing the majestic and heroic warriors, the common people gave their thumbs up and praised the warriors of the Tang Dynasty for being so heroic and extraordinary!In addition, many women have developed admiration for Guo Ziyi, who is heroic and heroic on horseback. At this time, it is mid-spring, when a hundred flowers are in full bloom, and women in the Tang Dynasty have the habit of hairpins. He came down and threw it at Guo Ziyi, making the unmarried handsome face flush with embarrassment.

But the iron eagle swordsman behind him was not so restrained. He smiled and embraced all the flowers thrown by the women in the past, and sent a lily flower thrown by the girl he thought was the most beautiful to his nose. After sniffing, the onlookers burst into laughter.

Guo Ziyi coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "Pay attention to the image of soldiers in the army!"

"Hee hee!" The iron eagle swordsman stuffed all the flowers he had snatched into his bag, and then he stared solemnly.

Seeing this, Guo Ziyi was very funny, and thought to himself: Brother Ouyang is good in everything, but his temper is a bit cynical.

Li Linfu heard the commotion on the street, so he looked forward from the car window, happened to see this scene, and thought, since Guo Ziyi is not yet married, it is better to use marriage to win him over.

A group of people moved very fast, and Xingqing Gate was already in sight in a moment.

I saw yellow flags all over the front door and a long red carpet.Standing on both sides are hundreds of mighty Jinwu Guards, some holding steel knives and some holding bull horns.Seeing Li Linfu's motorcade and Guo Ziyi's cavalry approaching in the distance, the bull's horns could make a loud humming sound.

A man in a black robe embroidered with nine dragons, with a jade crown on his head and a sword in his hand, stood in the middle of the red carpet with a dignified expression. He was Li Longji, the emperor of the dynasty.On his left was a young man in a white robe embroidered with dragon and cloud patterns. That man was extremely elegant, but he gave people a sense of oppression out of thin air. He was the grown-up prince Li Ying.On Li Longji's right stood a woman, dressed in a purple tucked gold Lingfeng peony palace gown, with twelve phoenix hairpins on her head that only queens could enjoy, wearing a red cloak and golden armbands, she was exactly the same lady. Concubine Wu Hui of the Empress.Behind her and Li Longji stood the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty in rich clothes.

Guo Ziyi saw that Li Longji greeted her with such a big battle, and she couldn't be more excited at the moment. She got off her horse and walked up to Li Longji without waiting for Li Linfu's guidance. , let His Majesty come out of Xingqing Gate to welcome him!"

Li Longji pulled Guo Ziyi up, and said with a smile: "Aiqing has been stationed at the border for more than ten years, and has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. This kind of courtesy is what Aiqing deserves, so don't be humble! Come! Let me see your newly trained iron Eagle Swordsman!"

With Guo Ziyi's order, hundreds of iron eagle swordsmen quickly turned over and dismounted. They moved in unison and stood their long swords on the right. A few pieces of jade bricks, accompanied by an overwhelming voice, "Long live, long live, long live, Your Majesty!" It was so powerful that it stunned all the veterans behind Li Longji.

Prince Li Ying said excitedly: "With such a strong man guarding the Tang Dynasty, how can a small border guard dare to be rampant!"

Li Longji was also very satisfied with this, and said with a smile: "The general is really amazing! You can train such a strong knight in just a few years."

Guo Ziyi said humbly: "It's all about His Majesty's ability to govern the country. The people of the Tang Dynasty are grateful for His kindness, so there are many people who joined the army." Reaching the peak is even worse than the prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong advertised by later generations.More importantly, the entire people of the Tang Dynasty are now in a high-spirited state. This kind of mentality is not the arrogance of claiming to be a celestial kingdom, but a kind of broadness and self-confidence that has the confidence to accommodate everything.

No matter what kind of culture, the Tang Dynasty did not reject it at all, but integrated it into the Chinese civilization circle, and the children of the common people among the common people could also increase their ranks through their own efforts, which greatly aroused the common people The talents in China serve the country.Driven by this high-spirited atmosphere, the entire Tang Dynasty showed a vigorous and upward momentum.Inspired by this, many rangers and nobles joined the border, which greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the frontier army, and the political clarity effectively curbed the unhealthy tendency of border officials to embezzle military salaries. Naturally, it is also strong, so since Chang Xi suggested to Li Longji to implement the military system, Datang has almost never lost a battle.Many great poets such as Wang Wei, Gao Shi, Cen Shen, etc. all yearned for the heroic ambition of the frontier fortress, drove to the outside of the fortress one after another, and wrote countless poems about the frontier fortress that are well-known in the history of Chinese culture.

Chang Xi promptly brought two nobles of sake from the maid behind her, one for Li Longji and one for Guo Ziyi.Guo Ziyi hurriedly said: "Thank you, Concubine Hui!" He already knew that Wu Zhaoyi, who inspected the new army in the past, had already been promoted to Concubine Hui, who was the same empress. While pouring the wine, Chang Xi put the bronze jue aside and said with a smile, "This is what the general deserves!"

Guo Ziyi didn't dare to refuse, and took the bronze cup with both hands. Li Longji raised the cup and gestured slightly to him. After drinking, the two looked at each other and laughed.

Li Longji took Guo Ziyi's hand and said: "In the Hall of Datong, I have hosted a banquet for the general to clean up the dust, so go with me!"

"No!" Guo Ziyi replied respectfully, and followed Li Longji's footsteps into Xingqing Palace.Li Ying, who was behind him, looked at the heroic Guo Ziyi and admired him very much.
