Chapter 58: A Triumph Return
On the eighth day of October, Chang'an had the best weather that it had not seen in a long time. The autumn sun was rising from the east, casting a bright golden light. Under the cloudless blue sky and the bright sun, the city of Chang'an had already been cleaned. It was clean, as if it had been washed by water and rain. It was not yet past midnight, and the people in Chang'an City were already neatly dressed, spontaneously and uniformly lined up on both sides of the street from Chang'an City to the entrance of the Imperial City, with no concealment on their faces. I feel so happy, as if it’s the New Year.
Even outsiders who came to Chang'an know that today's Chang'an, or the entire Zhou Dynasty, has ushered in a national event. It turns out that the Pingnan army led by Yang Jin, the eldest son of the Taiwei, suppressed the army that had been entrenched in the southwest for several dynasties and repeatedly invaded. The rebels not only completely destroyed the elite main force of the rebels, but also recruited and surrendered the rebel leader Xiao, who proclaimed himself King of Liang, and his royal family members.
For the people of Lingnan Road, Yang Jin, the military commander of Lingnan Road, was the savior who freed them from the turbulent war-torn life. For the people of Dazhou, Yang Jin was another great savior after Zhao Yi, the King of Yuling. An outstanding general, he was the god of war who could protect their safety and promote the prestige of the Zhou Dynasty.
Because of this, this time the army led by Yang Jin will be personally welcomed by hundreds of officials led by the emperor. The people of Chang'an had seen such a glorious scene four years ago when King Zhao Yiping of the imperial mausoleum returned. Pass.
In the cool breeze, the autumn sun has risen high, hanging in the blue sky. Seeing that the hour is approaching, the imperial officials and courtiers of Chang'an's fifth rank and above have already neatly filed out of the imperial city in court clothes and lined up on both sides. The sound of court etiquette was played, and the emperor's Yulin army and Shence army, wearing ceremonial armor and riding horses, walked out of the high city gate, followed closely by the beautiful palace maiden, wearing high buns and colorful clothes. The hand-held glazed red lantern with precious tassels, one strong and one soft, perfectly reflected the light. The next moment, Emperor Yuan Cheng Chen Xuan, wearing the emperor's bright yellow crown, sat on the imperial chariot and slowly came out.
Under the leadership of Taiwei Yang Chongyuan, Zhongshu Ling Li Zhang, Shangshu Ling Shangguanji and the court officials all turned to the emperor according to their rank, bowed down from a distance, and the people also knelt down piously like looking up to the gods, and the mountains shouted long live In an instant, the sound echoed uniformly over the imperial city.
Li Sui, holding his treasure tassel, stood beside Empress Yang with Li. At this moment, they and the other female family members were standing on the gate of the imperial city, taking in a panoramic view of today's scene.
The heavy and resonant sound of the horn "Woo--Woo--" rolled over the ground. The next moment, the flags placed all over the city gate seemed to have received the response and roared fiercely. Only the sound of iron hoofs "ta-ta-ta--" was heard. —" Like a tide advancing from far to near, in the sun, Li Sui saw cavalry wearing black armor, holding spears and shields, marching in this direction from Zhuque Street in a solemn formation, followed by Several prison cars, even if they were far away, Li Sui could guess how depressed and restless the Xiao clan members sitting in them were. And behind them, there was the infantry phalanx, and their uniform steps seemed to make the She felt the earth tremble beneath her feet.
Li Sui calmly looked at this scene from a distance, and many of the female family members behind him shouted softly. For them, this scene was extremely shocking and rare. In the Chang'an City below, the people also rushed to shout for Yang Jin, which was even more shocking than the others. The emperor also wants to make them yearn for it.
Li Sui looked sideways unnoticed, and saw that Queen Yang looked much better after these days of nursing. She was well-mannered, smiling warmly and proudly looking at her feet. In comparison, the Shangguan beside her The expressions of Zhaoyi and Taiwei's wife Li were indescribable. Li Sui could tell that Shangguan Zhaoyi was smiling, but underneath that smile was uneasiness about the unpredictable future. As for aunt Li, her smile was Just like the majestic statue of the statue enshrined in the main hall of Yuqing Temple, it carries a clear understanding of everything, but in the deep eyes, there is a hidden worry that only she can detect.
As the trumpet stopped and the ritual music started, Yang Jin, who was wearing the golden armor given by the emperor himself, sat on the sweaty horse with high spirits and arrived at the foot of the city tower. He turned over and dismounted neatly, showing off his heroic spirit.
Almost at the same time, the cavalry following behind him also landed at the same rapid speed.
Amidst the clanging of armor, Yang Jin strode towards Emperor Yuan Cheng, knelt down on one knee, and raised his voice in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Yang Jin, together with the Prince of Liang, the royal family, and the generals, pay homage to Your Majesty, and wish Your Majesty a long life!"
Yang Jin's voice just fell, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers behind Yang Jin shouted. For an instant, all the rituals and music stopped, and there was only the endless sound of wind blowing the flags. Compared with the brave men and soldiers in front of them, those who were strategizing and immersed in the court
The courtiers and officials who had been serving for many years suddenly seemed much smaller and weaker.
"The general is mighty and the soldiers are hardworking!"
Seeing Emperor Yuan Cheng holding Yang Jin up with both hands in relief, the soldiers behind him burst into gratitude.
At this moment, the official with the imperial edict came forward, respectfully unfolded it, and then loudly said: "Your Majesty's edict——"
After the words fell, all the officials bowed and bowed again, and the people all knelt respectfully. Yang Jin and his soldiers half-knelt, quietly waiting for the long-awaited scene.
"In response to Tianshun's timing, I accept the order of the Ming Dynasty. I am here to recruit Yang Jin, the commander-in-chief of the march in Lingnan Road. He is brave and resourceful. He made an immortal contribution in the battle of Pingnan and saved the people from danger. I am very pleased and specially promoted to the commander-in-chief of Bingzhou.
, was granted the title of Xiaoyong Marquis, with a food grant of 1,300 white households. Deputy Commander Yang Che was granted the title of Duke of Yanmen County, with a food grant of 800 households..."
Hearing Emperor Yuan Cheng's imperial edict, Li Sui saw the decent smile break bit by bit in Li's eyes. In contrast, Yang Chongyuan, who was standing beside Emperor Yuan Cheng, was undisguised and proud at the moment.
Yan.
At this moment, Li Sui knew very well that if Yang Jin was a breast tiger sleeping soundly on Li's pillow, now he has become a fierce tiger with two feathers. From today on, Li, Yang Jin and others
The battle between the mother clan, the Cao family, will begin and will never end.
When he returned from the ceremony, Li Sui tiredly changed out of her gauze dress, loosened her bun, and was lying leisurely on the beauty couch reading a book. At this moment, she heard a maid come in and smiled happily: "Princess Princess,
Mr. Da Lang is here with someone to deliver something."
Li Sui was not surprised by what the maid said. Although the Li family had always been at odds with the Cao family, Dalang Yang Jin was a free and easy person. He had been very protective of his younger siblings since he was a child because of his status as the eldest brother.
I remember when I was a child, Sanlang Yang Che accidentally shot Yang Chongyuan's favorite green bird while playing with a bow and arrow, or when Silang Yang Zhen was banned, he secretly climbed over the wall and left the house and committed many mistakes. They were all saved by Yang Yan's intercession and Yang Jin's comfort.
A few meals.
As for his daughter's family, whenever Yang Jin goes out of the house, whether on official business or on a private trip, he will bring back many local fresh gadgets or food.
When Li Sui looked through the dazzling array of things, he heard an all-too-familiar voice: "It seems that I am a step behind my elder brother."
After the words fell, Li Sui looked up and saw Yang Che walking in. He looked a little taller than when he left Chang'an, and his expression became more resolute, giving him a masculine spirit that the noble son of Chang'an did not have.
"It turns out that the great hero is back."
Li Sui smiled and pretended to stand up and salute. Yang Che smiled heartily after hearing this, stepped forward and flicked Li Sui's forehead and said, "I knew you would try to narrow me down."
Li Sui ducked away after hearing this, then sat down and raised his eyebrows and said, "Then why are you coming to me?"
Yang Che's eyes signaled that Chang Xi, the personal attendant beside him, also came forward with a box. Once opened, there were three layers. The bottom layer was some toys, the middle layer was women's jewelry, which was different from what was popular in Chang'an, and the top layer was
It's a spice box.
Li Sui opened it one by one at Yang Che's signal and looked at it. It was obvious that Yang Che had put some thought into it. Everything was made according to her preferences. It was gorgeous but not complicated, simple but not tasteless.
"It seems that I will pray more in the future, and you will go out to Chang'an more often to run errands."
Hearing Li Sui's words, Yang Che smiled noncommittally, took the tea offered by Nian Nu and took a sip. His eyes sparkled, and his words suddenly deepened: "This time I left Chang'an and went to Lingnan Road. It took me a few months to know the world.
It’s so big and the mountains and rivers are so beautiful.”
Li Sui's heart moved slightly when he heard the words, but when he saw Yang Che stopped talking and turned to look at her, he had lost the deep expression that was not easily noticed just now.
"It's a pity that you have never seen me."
Hearing Yang Che's change of words, Li Sui did not ask deeply, but pretended to be angry: "You know that we are not like you men. The world is vast and we can gallop to our heart's content. You are here just to make me angry."
Feeling the long-lost bickering atmosphere, Yang Che smiled and then said: "Don't be upset. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will take you to visit this river. Don't you like Qionghua? How about we go to Guangling?"
Seeing Yang Che's interest, Li Sui felt strange. He glanced sideways and pretended to joke: "You can convince Aye and my aunt to come together tomorrow, and then we can talk about this."
Seeing that Li Sui seemed to have misunderstood, Yang Che said nothing more.
What he just said is what he is thinking in his heart at this moment, or what he has been thinking all along.
What he wanted was to take her, the two of them, and the two horses to explore the vast rivers and rivers of the great Zhou Dynasty.
But it was not what Li Sui said, and everyone was traveling together.
Now he knew that the marriage between Li Sui and Erlang Yang Yan had been finalized. Since A Niang had always wanted to marry A Man into the Yang family, it seemed that he was the most suitable one.
No one knows how long he has been waiting for this moment.
