The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

When Li Yuanqing arrived outside the palace gate, he was already in yinshizhong.

At this time, the bright red civil servants have begun to enter the palace. On both sides, there are many military officers, who are respectfully watching these civil servants enter the Palace first.

Li Yuanqing soon found Mao Wenlong, Chen Zhong and Chen Jisheng among the military officers on one side.

Today, Li Yuanqing is no longer a "first brother". He is no longer a stranger to the great dynasty.

Even now they these military officers humbly squeeze in, there is no use in the slightest. Before the big men have finished their discussion, it is far from time for them to award rewards.

Therefore, Li Yuanqing is not in a hurry. He can just stick it.

At this time, although Li Yuanqing's face maintained enough humility, but in the bottom of his heart, it was calm as water, and his eyes kept scanning the surrounding situation.

It's early September.

Inside the pass, it is the autumn harvest time when the crops are mature, and outside the pass, it is also the best time for water and grass to be fat and cattle and horses to fatten up.

In such a state at this time, the harm of dongnu was less. After all, they had established a state, established a system and had a plan.

However, Beilu, also known as Mongolian Tartars, is more annoying than flies.

The more this season, the more frequent their activities.

Sometimes hundreds or even dozens of people would dare to cross the border and rush to the settlement of the Han people, burning, killing and looting. Once the king of the nine sides arrived, the dogs ran faster than the rabbits.

Therefore, in addition to Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong, there were many other generals from the nine sides who also came to the capital to reward them.

To a large extent, this is also the importance that the emperor and the court attached to the northern defense.

"So early, commander?" Li Yuanqing came to Mao Wenlong with a smile and said hello to Mao Wenlong in a low voice.

Although he had drunk a lot of wine last night, there was still some residual spirit on Mao Wenlong's face, but it can be seen that he was in a good mood. He laughed and said: "the imperial court has a great reward. How can he not come early? Yuan Qing, have you had breakfast

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "I've had some simple food. Marshal, wait in. I'll arrange it. "

Mao Wenlong, of course, knew Li Yuanqing's connections in the palace, and nodded with a smile.

Next to him, Chen Zhong and Chen Jisheng also came to greet Li Yuanqing with a smile.

After a few simple greetings, the end of the civil service team has already entered the palace gate.

At this time, eunuchs came to guide them and began to lead Li Yuanqing into the palace.

Although Li Yuanqing is on the same level with Mao Wenlong, to some extent, Li Yuanqing's gold content at this time is a little higher than that of Mao Wenlong.

But Mao Wenlong, after all, is a veteran general and Li Yuanqing's elder and guide. In all aspects, especially in face, Li Yuanqing naturally maintains enough respect for Mao Wenlong.

The eunuch was in front of him, Mao Wenlong was in front of him, and Li Yuanqing was half behind him, keeping up with Mao Wenlong.

The reward was obviously centered on the Liao faction. The generals behind them had only a few generals, most of them below the Deputy generals. Naturally, they did not dare to break the rules easily.

From the palace gate to the main hall of the imperial court, the road is not very close. It takes more than half an hour to walk.

The palace is a place of supreme mystery for most of the ministers. However, for Li Yuanqing, it is more like a "scenery".

Although the pace is fast, but Li Yuanqing's residual light, but in the surrounding around to look around.

This is also due to the early dawn. In winter, apart from the high and wide red wall, I'm afraid there is not even a bird's hair.

After more than 200 years of circulation, there is no doubt about the planning and layout of the palace. In the words of later generations, it is "high-end, grand and high-grade".

But this high red wall, scattered orderly floor, dark and far-reaching night sky, tangled together, but give people a very strong sense of depression.

If you can't help it, you will be afraid and have a sacred concept here.

Li Yuanqing also had to lament that these ruling classes, in order to highlight their own privileges, really use their extreme ah.

There was a turn ahead. Chen Jisheng suddenly stepped up to Li Yuanqing and said in a low voice: "Yuanqing, what happened last night, last night, will it be granted today's reward..."

"Well?"

Although Chen Jisheng didn't finish, how could Li Yuanqing not understand his meaning?

It must be that Chen Jisheng has been holding his words in his heart for a long time, but he has never had a chance to say it to Li Yuanqing.

"Brother, you don't have to worry about it. It should be OK. Don't worry. " With a smile, Li Yuanqing patted Chen Jisheng on the back of his back, indicating his peace of mind with his eyes.

The little eunuch on one side was about to scream "silence." but when he saw that Li Yuanqing was talking, he covered his mouth with his hand and did not dare to say more than half a word.

Now, in the palace, who does not know that he Li Yuanqing is the red man around his ancestors.Not to mention, Li Yuanqing is very close to Duke an, Li Chaoqin, Wang tiqian and Wang Chengen.

If you offend Li Yuanqing at such a time, it's not that the old birthday star eats arsenic. Do you think your life is too long?

Looking at Li Yuanqing, Chen Jisheng calmed down a little and murmured in a low voice: "that's good, that's good..."

But this is not so much his reply to Li Yuanqing as his consolation.

Li Yuanqing's eyelids twitch slightly.

Chen Jisheng is really

But he was not to blame.

After all, the limitations of the times are here.

Chen Jisheng's family background, the influence of his childhood, and the surrounding environment, he is not a saint with great sense of justice, so it is very difficult to get rid of this shackle.

Along the way, there was some suppressed silence, as Li Yuanqing had expected. After half an hour or a quarter of an hour, the team arrived outside the hall on time.

Looking at the carved fence and jade building in front of me, I can't help but hear a slight voice of discussion behind me.

The eunuch, who had been staring at the etiquette all around, finally had room to play. He called out in a sharp voice: "silence! Silence

Behind him, a group of military officers were very quiet, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out again.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing. For a moment, he laughed and shook his head, "man, this creature..."

Soon, a crowd arrived at the designated waiting place.

The little Eunuch in charge of etiquette quickly pointed out his voice and talked about the etiquette in a loud voice.

But when he finished speaking, he quickly came to Li Yuanqing and said in a low voice with a smile: "Li Shuai, you can have a rest here for a while. I'll make you a cup of hot tea, and then I'll get you some breakfast."

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile. He took out a hundred Liang silver note and put it into the hands of the eunuch: "it's hard for you. Oh, by the way, I'll have to wait for a while today? "

The little eunuch quickly whispered with a smile: "Sir, according to the usual practice, the reward is almost obtained in the middle of Mao Dynasty, and it will take more than half an hour."

Li Yuanqing smiles: "Oh. Good. In this way, you can prepare more meals, steamed stuffed buns and meat cakes. More water. The brothers here probably didn't have breakfast. It's all mine. "

Li Yuanqing said, and took out a few hundred taels of silver, handed to the small eunuch's hand.

"This..."

The little eunuch couldn't help but look at Li Yuanqing, "Li Shuai, this matter, I don't dare to be the master of this matter!"

Li Yuanqing a smile, and took out a few silver tickets, handed to his hand: "you just do it. I'll take care of something

In a short time, Li Yuanqing has already given the little eunuch nearly a thousand liang of silver, and has personally made a package ticket. How can this little eunuch hesitate? Busy smile way: "Li Shuai you wait a moment, maidservant horse goes up to do for you."

Said, he is busy to greet a few small eunuchs around him, leave in a hurry.

It's already autumn, the early morning wind has been a little cool, there is no shelter, a breeze passing, let people spirit.

Mao Wenlong looked at Li Yuanqing with a smile and said in a low voice, "Yuanqing, it's hard for you. This breakfast is a thousand taels of silver. It's too expensive. "

Li Yuanqing a smile: "marshal, with money can solve the matter, in fact, are not called things."

"Ha ha."

Mao Wenlong nodded with a smile, but his heart was a little melancholy.

How can he not understand this truth?

It's a pity.

It is obvious that he can't be as confident as Li Yuanqing when he does these things.

At this time, a young man in his early 40s, dressed in the general's robe, came to Li Yuanqing's side quickly and said with a low smile, "are you Li Yuanqing and Li Shuai from Changsheng island in southern Liaoning Province?"

Li Yuanqing was stunned. He had already wanted to find a quarrel. He used to talk to the other brothers and generals of these nine sides. Unexpectedly, someone came to the door first.

Li Yuanqing laughed and took a look at the man: "not bad. I'm Li Yuanqing. I don't know if you are... "

This man also a smile: "Li Shuai, I'm Yang Guozhu, commander in chief of Xuanfu town."

"Yang Guozhu?"

Li Yuanqing was stunned.

He was no stranger to the name.

Yang Guozhu was one of the few powerful generals who died in the battle of song and brocade.

Originally, Li Yuanqing thought that Yang Guozhu began to appear in the middle and later period of Chongzhen. Now he should still be "young". He can't reach this level, but unexpectedly, Yang Guozhu is now the commander-in-chief.

"Yang Shuai, Yuanqing has heard a lot about you. I'd like to visit for a long time. Unexpectedly, it's here that we met for the first time. "

Li Yuanqing was busy smiling and arched his hand.

Yang Guozhu also laughed: "Li Shuai, this is not the place to talk. When the imperial court is over, let's find a good place to sit down and have a good drink?"Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile

At this time, Mao Wenlong, Chen Zhong and Chen Jisheng also found Li Yuanqing chatting with people here. They all looked over.

Li Yuanqing was busy smiling and introduced Mao Wenlong, Chen Zhong and Chen Jisheng to Yang Guozhu in a low voice.

Yang Guozhu is also very happy. He is busy smiling and bowing one by one. We all know each other.

At this time, a small Eunuch in charge of etiquette came to Li Yuanqing with a bitter face and said, "Marshal Li, there is no noise here. You see, this... "

Li Yuanqing laughed: "sorry, father-in-law. We don't talk

With that, Li Yuanqing handed over another silver note.

If the eunuch was granted amnesty, he put away the bank note carefully and respectfully withdrew to one side.

Next to him, Yang Guozhu couldn't help but lower his tongue.

It has been known for a long time that Li Yuanqing is a man of great powers and boundless righteousness. At this time, although the time is not long, only by looking at Li Yuanqing's skill, this calm, you can already see a score of seven or eight points. Indeed, he is a man of great reputation!

Yang Guozhu's heart is more stable, but also more firm to make friends with Li Yuanqing.

After all, in the Ming Dynasty's nine side system, there are still frequent transfers among generals.

Although Yang Guozhu was the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town, and his seniority was much older than that of Li Yuanqing, who could guarantee that he did not ask for help?

Especially the transfer and promotion of the younger generation of nephews and nephews!
