Still far away, Wang Ze and Gao Biaoren accompanied Du Fuwei as they dismounted and walked to the front.
Without saying a word, Du Fuwei prostrated himself on the ground and said loudly: "The sinner, Du Fuwei, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Please don't blame me for being late."
Maybe he had thought about it a long time ago. The series of actions were as smooth as clouds and flowing water, so natural and justified that even Li Po felt a little embarrassed by him.
Of course, these are just jokes. This was the first time for both Li Po and his subordinates to experience the scene of the princes coming back. Naturally, they felt that it was something new and they gained a lot of knowledge.
Li Po took a moment to look at him, then took two steps forward, leaned over to hold the other party's arm, and said with a smile: "Please get up quickly, the general is not late. When you and I meet in Chang'an today, we will definitely leave a good name in future generations."
…”
As he spoke, he helped Du Fuwei up, "Speaking of which, I want to be honored by General Du. When people talk about it today, no one can ask, how can Li Po win such a hero as General Du?"
A hero comes from thousands of miles to join us?"
While talking, they were all looking at each other.
They were both survivors of the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty. They actually had many of the same qualities: strong, energetic, thoughtful, and right-minded.
The most important thing is the perseverance they showed when facing difficulties, and their spiritual strength that became more courageous the more frustrated they were.
Although the superiors and inferiors are now divided, it can be said that they are all princes, and there is a vague sense of comparison when they meet.
Li Po felt that Du Fuwei was a bit darker, but he looked more powerful and talked like those generals. He could tell from a quick listen that he was from a rough background and had no aristocratic education.
Needless to say, in terms of magnanimity, he has been a local bully in Jiangzuo for many years. How can he control the situation without any power?
In Du Fuwei's eyes, this Emperor Li was relatively affable and interesting to talk to. He was easy to get along with at first glance. He was a bit unattractive in appearance. He was far from the Emperor Li he imagined. He didn't know how he got there.
How far have you come to this day?
To be honest, he was a little disappointed when they first met. Emperor Li, who was about to dominate the world, seemed a little too ordinary.
But he quickly put aside these boring thoughts. Today, someone has become the emperor and occupied Chang'an, but you have traveled thousands of miles. Even if they are more ordinary, you have to bow your head. Thinking too much is pure.
It's asking for trouble.
Furthermore, people like Li Jing, Yu Chigong, Gao Biaoren, Wang Ze, Luo Shixin, etc. are all extraordinary. How can the people they are willing to work for really be ordinary?
Thinking of this, he felt that the Emperor Li in front of him was a bit cunning, mediocre on the outside, but hiding the city inside, so he had to be more careful in dealing with it.
Li Po was not as entangled as him. Why did he need to think so much when he had the upper hand?
In addition, he had a plan in mind, so he would not act like other descendants. At this time, he happily took Du Fuwei's arm and got into the carriage together.
"General Du has worked hard all the way and entered the palace with me. I will support the general... You don't know that more than ten years have passed since I started the army, and I have never seen anyone as kind and righteous as General Du.
People like Li Yuan and Xiao Xian, even though I have already marched to the city, I haven't seen them admit defeat and don't care about their subordinates or the lives of the people at all. How can they be like General Du, who is willing to turn a fight with me into friendship, so as not to damage the peace and reduce the casualties of the soldiers?
People will not be displaced due to war.
After I look at it, your reputation and mine are no different."
Needless to say, Li Po's ability to receive people, every word seemed to speak to Du Fuwei's heart. Du Fuwei couldn't help but nod, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.
"Your Majesty is so kind. As time goes by, Your Majesty will know that I don't have any big ambitions. I just want to enjoy some glory and wealth in peace and quiet.
Everything I have done over the years has been forced upon me, and now I am fine. I see that we are not far from peace. As long as the Supreme Being can bring peace to the world, I am willing to serve as his minister and live up to the luxury of a beautiful house.
day.
Well, with my merits, I think the Supreme Being will not treat me badly."
Li Po laughed loudly, but said in his heart, I don't know whether what you said is true or not. If you said this from the bottom of your heart, then you really are here.
"If all the people in the world were like the general, how could there be so many disputes... Since the general is so straightforward, I will not deceive you with false words. He has a high official, a noble house, a beautiful house, and a group of wives and concubines. To you and me,
It's all easy.
It seems that you and I are about the same age. As long as you live up to me, I will treat you as a brother. When the world calms down, even if you want to return to Jiangzuo, I will not stop you.
Don't worry, I am different from others, I always keep my word, and besides, if I don't have the capacity to embrace all rivers, I won't be able to be this emperor, don't you think?"
Du Fuwei really put his heart back in his stomach now, cupped his hands and said: "The words of the Supreme Being are enough. Now I only hope that the Supreme Being can caress the upper and lower sides of the river well, and there is nothing else.
In fact, it shouldn't be difficult. When I left there, I made it clear to them that everyone is a Tang minister in a harmonious manner. If someone starts an army to cause chaos, making it difficult for me in Chang'an, or even losing my head, then everyone will
We can fight against him together.
I still have some reputation there, and since I have spoken out in advance, I guess no one would dare to mess around.
As for returning to Jiangzuo... Hehe, I'm not afraid of the supreme joke. I've wanted to come to Chang'an or settle in Luoyang for half my life. Now that my wish has come true, only the damn devil is willing to go back to enjoy the sea breeze and eat salted fish."
Li Po couldn't help but laugh again. He felt the same as Wang Ze, thinking that he was really a wonderful man. Of course, he would never trust others easily. After listening to his words, he had to watch his actions.
For example, Du Fuwei said that he left some words before leaving, asking his subordinates to behave. This may not be true, but he must have said that if I lose my head for no reason in Chang'an, then you must pay for it.
I take revenge or something.
But those are all trivial matters, so don’t bother with them. It’s the first time he sees a living prince, so he can’t kill him easily. Moreover, Du Fuwei’s background also makes him feel more at ease. He is not someone like Li Yuan or Xiao Xian who can easily be recognized by others.
.
If this person leaves Jiangzuo, he will become a rootless person. As long as he is in Kansai, he will not be able to cause any trouble.
"Then you are here. When Emperor Wen Yang Jian built Daxing City and moved the people from the old city to the new city, there were more than 200,000 people. Well, to show the prosperity, it was known to the outside world as more than 600,000.
Today's Chang'an is actually far more prosperous than it was then, and Jiangdu is probably about the same. War is everywhere. In a place like this where little blood has been shed, everyone will flock here to avoid the scourge of war.
There are now nearly 500,000 people living in Chang'an City, and the annual food consumption has given me a headache in the past two years..."
At this point, Li Po's old habit relapsed, and Xiaojiazi smacked his mouth angrily. It was all caused by the lack of food these years, which left a big psychological shadow on him.
Du Fuwei looked at him with a feeling of sadness, and couldn't help but interjected: "It was the same in Jiangdu. Everyone was crying for food. It looked pitiful, but it made me anxious. Later, I went fishing at sea and did some work.
It is the time fisherman who feeds everyone."
The two immediately found a common topic, and Li Po smiled and said: "You think so? You can still fish by the sea, but here I can only let everyone farm, and we have to fight with Li Yuan year after year.
It took a lot of effort to get over it.
When I arrived in Chang'an, I saw that Li Yuan had done a lot of damage to the grain and grass. Are you angry or not?"
That was indeed quite irritating. Du Fuwei nodded in agreement. He felt that Li Yuan really shouldn't have done it. He was also very arrogant, so he asked secretly, "Then Li Yuan died like this? I'm leaving."
Too far away, I didn’t feel anything when I heard about Li Yuan’s defeat, but now I hear what the Supreme One says, this man really deserves to die.”
Li Poxin said, "You want to ask me who I killed in anger and whether I dug up the Li family's ancestral grave, right?"
"Li Yuan saw the opportunity quickly and drank poisonous wine in the palace. I was very angry and angry, but I couldn't find anyone to cause trouble at that time, because the big trouble was that hundreds of thousands of people in the city were waiting to fill their bellies.
I had no choice but to order people to transport grain from Jin to make up for it. Almost all the grain I have accumulated over the years has been used here, don’t you think it’s easy?”
At this point, Li Po sighed and continued: "So, you came at the right time. Guanxi has been pacified for two or three years, grain and grass from Sichuan have been transported here, and people in Guanxi are also farming.
The city of Chang'an is becoming more and more prosperous day by day, and the general should not feel like this. If so, it must be my fault. You can come and scold me, and I will listen."
Du Fuwei finally showed his eight big teeth and burst into laughter. He felt that Emperor Li in front of him was really a wonderful man. If he met him in Jiangzuo, he would definitely make friends and have a drink and talk and laugh from time to time.
Extremely interesting.
The atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious. The courtiers gathered around the chariot looked at them secretly, heard their conversation faintly, and their cheerful laughter, and they all wanted to know what they were talking about.
When the princes met, they should have been at war with each other, or perhaps they were deceitful. It seems that they all thought wrong?
It is natural for the emperor to be happy, but it is unbelievable that even the returning princes are so happy.
The unbelievable people were still behind. When the team entered Zhuque Street, there was a commotion behind the team. Feng Deyi, who was accompanying the driver, looked back and couldn't help but feel annoyed.
The emperor went out to welcome the returning princes. This was an important event that could be recorded in the annals of history. There were still people who did not know the importance and made a lot of noise. The emperor was not sure whether he was annoyed or not. Once Du Fuwei felt that the people of Guanxi did not understand the way of hospitality, wouldn't he let him go?
The Supreme Being has lost face?
"Doctor Wei, go and see what's going on behind the scenes. Remember, no matter how big the issue is, suppress it and deal with it later."
Wei Xuancheng accepted the promise and went back, but after a while he hurriedly turned around with a face full of joy, came to Feng Deyi's side and said: "Hebei Jiji has been reported, Wei City has fallen, and Dou Jiande has surrendered."
