Xue Wanche and Zhang Shigui looked at each other sideways, saying to themselves that they didn't expect Zhang Dabeard to be so skillful in flattering him. They had never seen it before, and they only thought that this man was a bit cunning.
Li Po felt very comfortable being photographed. Nowadays, there are too many people flattering him. Everyone who comes to him takes the time to sing his praises. He is tired of hearing it, but the photo with the big beard is a bit fresh and refined.
.
Since he raised his army, he has been almost invincible and invincible... Well, what Zhang Lun said is not flattering, it is indeed the truth.
Li Po pointed at Zhang Lun and smiled, "Don't want to imitate the Buqun guy. What I want is a general who leads troops and makes achievements, not a flatterer. If you say anything in the future, don't flatter him."
It sounds like a reprimand, but everyone in the palace knows that the emperor feels comfortable being photographed and looks at the smile, which is completely different from finding someone's fault and punishing him.
Xue Wanche was not willing to be left behind. Among the three, he was the first to follow Li Po. At this time, he said: "I lift my sword and ride astride to wave the ghost rain, and the bones are as white as mountain birds flying..."
This time it was the other two people's turn to look at him, and they all thought in their hearts, they didn't realize that Xue Heizi could actually recite poems, he must have seen a ghost.
Forget Zhang, who has a big beard, and hasn’t read a few books. Zhang Shigui, on the other hand, was already a little horrified after listening to a few sentences. He thought to himself, how many people did Lao Xue kill before he could write such a ghostly poem?
I saw Xue Wanche continue to say with emotion: "I will remember what the Supreme One said on the grassland that day. Under the deeds, it is really a pile of bones. But if the Supreme One does not lead us to calm down the troubled times and restore peace to the world,
I'm afraid we are among the bones today, how can we accompany the Supreme Being to drink here?"
Well, this flattery was very profound, even if it was a little sad, it also showed off my qualifications in front of the other two people. I have followed the Supreme to the grassland.
Zhang Shigui suddenly realized that this poem was written by the Supreme Being. It was really...a good poem. It was so powerful and rare in ancient times. It seemed that the Supreme Being had killed many Turks on the grassland.
Daily Notes Xue Yuanjing hid in the corner of the palace and began to write furiously again. What a supreme poem, why are there broken sentences again?
Li Po nodded, smiling at the flattery, "The world is in chaos, and heroes are born in due course..."
At this point, he sighed and chanted: "The peaks and mountains are like clusters, the waves are like angry, the mountains and rivers are like Tongguan Road inside and outside. Looking at the Western Capital, I hesitate, sad. Where the Qin and Han Dynasties passed. Thousands of palaces and palaces have turned into earth. Xing, the people
Suffering, death, the suffering of the people."
There was silence in the hall, even Zhang Bearded seemed to feel the power in the words, and was a little crazy for a moment.
With a clatter, Xue Yuanjing's pen fell on the desk, splashing with ink. His mouth was slightly opened, and he was stunned for a long while, then immediately picked up his pen and wrote urgently...
It's not very appropriate for the occasion. It's obviously a poem written in Tongguan, and the last sentence is the finishing touch. It's full of compassion for the world and the people. It's the beginning of the new dynasty. This poem must have been written by the emperor while he was by the river.
Xue Yuanjing imagined the scene at that time and immediately came up with countless details.
The emperor stood by the river, looking at Tongguan in the distance. The great country was right in front of him. Behind him, a large army had gathered and the banners were densely covered. However, the emperor felt a little hesitant in his heart, because together with the army, there would be many casualties. Regardless of success or failure, there would be many casualties.
But they are all Kansai people.
Thinking of this, this guy was so excited that he had goosebumps all over his body.
Zhang Shigui lags behind the other two, and no longer hesitates at this time. He slaps the case and stands up: "The Supreme One is compassionate and compassionate, and his mind is as big as the sea. He is the ruler of the world. With the Supreme Being here, the people will no longer suffer from the chaos."
Already."
The palace then remembered the hearty laughter of the men. Li Po pressed his hands while laughing and motioned for Zhang Shigui to sit down, "Well, as long as there is no war, the people's lives will always be easier.
I may not be a good emperor, you guys praise me too much."
While they were talking, an eunuch reported, "Wei Chikai, Minister of the Ministry of War, Luo Shixin, the Commander-in-Chief of the Personal Guard, Zhao Shixun, the General of the Left Tunwei, Dou Cong, the General of the Right Tunwei, Xu Shiji, the General of the Zuowu Houwei, and Chen Li, the General of the Left Imperial Guard, are here to join us."
See."
Coupled with the addition of General Zuo Qianniu Beishen Mansion Ashina Rongzhen, half of the generals of the Tang Dynasty were gathered together in one place.
Li Po simply said, "Pass."
Then he smiled at Zhang Lun and the other three: "You are all leading troops outside. It's rare to get together today. It would be fun if there are more people."
Several people nodded in succession, saying that the Supreme had thought carefully.
When Luo Shixin and others entered the hall, they were all solidly built, full of vigor and energy, not even a single person had gray hair, and their male aura immediately filled every corner of the Liangyi Hall.
They all paid homage to the emperor one after another, and then saluted the three people who came first. Zhang Lun and the other three also stood up and returned the salute. After some pretentiousness, they sat down one after another under Li Po's instructions.
The hall immediately became lively. Except for Dou Cong, the general of the Youtun Guard, they were all Li Po's old troops. They had different temperaments, but they were all full of military merits.
Compared with the famous generals of the former Sui Dynasty, they are still inferior, but after all, they are young and they are all the founding ministers. After a few years, it will not be surprising to reach any stage.
When everyone arrived, the food and wine were served in a stream. Unlike entertaining the courtiers, most of them were wild animals, very greasy, but they were in line with the appetite of the generals.
Dou Cong looked around the table. He was neither in the front nor behind, so there was nothing much to say. Who asked him to submit his service late?
This was the first time he came to Liangyi Palace after his surrender. He had come here often before. After taking a closer look, he found that Liangyi Palace had not changed much, but the people present were different. He couldn't help but feel that things are right and people are different.
Feeling.
Most of the people I knew well back then were still serving in the imperial court, but it would not be easy to meet them in the Tai Chi Hall.
Today's emperor is different from his uncle. Li Yuan likes to gather and drink with his ministers. While eating and drinking, he shows his close relationship with his ministers, otherwise there would be no feast of beasts.
The current emperor gives a banquet to his ministers, which is truly a special treat for others. The last banquet for the courtiers was two or three months ago. It is said that during the banquet, he also ordered people to paint pictures as a souvenir, so that those who are qualified, but for various reasons
Those who were not able to participate were very upset, and Dou Cong was one of them.
But there’s no need to be depressed, don’t you think he’s already sneaked in now?
Moreover, the Fufeng Dou family is still so prominent. As time goes by, the shadow of Li Yuan's defeat is fading from the Fufeng Dou family's head. The official careers of his descendants did not suffer such a big blow as expected, and most of them are still in their original positions.
Especially since the Dou family has become a fellow villager of the emperor...
Dou Cong felt a little dumbfounded when he thought of this. It was more like God was playing a joke on their Fufeng Dou family.
When news of the draft spread at the end of last year, the Dou family immediately took it as a big deal. The one they selected was Dou Yun's daughter, who was also his niece.
The one chosen by the Dou Shan lineage was the daughter of the clan leader Dou Yan.
Well, anyway, according to the style of the Fufeng Dou family, several major branches in Chang'an want to make a fuss about it and continue the habit of marrying the royal family for generations.
What finally made them a little disappointed was that in the selection at the beginning of the year, only Dou Yun's daughter was selected into the palace. After all, their team now has a Minister of War and a general.
Dou Cong thought proudly that their brothers had been running around inside and outside, and finally the emperor saw their usefulness and chose a daughter from their lineage for marriage, which was exactly what the title meant.
However, compared with these generals in the palace, he was a little less proud. Most of these people were the emperor's old subordinates, and there was a sense of intimacy between them when they talked and laughed. Instead, he, a foreign relative, seemed like an outsider.
Before entering the palace, his wife, children and staff knew that he couldn't control himself after drinking, so they all advised him to drink less. Now he just wants to scold his mother. How dare he drink more in front of these people?
Moreover, the emperor... was very sinister. Gao Shen's death was a bit unclear, and the case was pending for a year, which tortured Gao to death.
His uncle couldn't use such underhanded tactics. The sight of this man being killed would send chills down his spine. He didn't want to offend the emperor and lose his head in a daze.
At this time, everyone else said hello for a while and looked at the surroundings. It was quite fresh. When did they gather together in one place? It was when the troops gathered in Tongguan to attack Xiao Xian the year before last.
The palace gradually became quiet. The generals here have become famous and will no longer shout rudely. Moreover, this is Liangyi Palace, not an army barracks, so the generals immediately became reserved.
If it were another emperor, gathering with so many generals, he would definitely be under a lot of pressure. He would have to think over and over again before saying anything. The idea must be to make the generals feel the favor from the emperor, but not to let them
If you feel contempt, you must exercise caution and at least show your majesty as a king.
But a founding king like Li Po didn't have to worry so much. He just raised his wine cup, and the generals in the palace sat upright, waiting for the emperor to speak.
"Most of you have been with me in the south and north for many years, and they are all my humerus. Newcomers don't have to be depressed..."
Having said this, Li Po looked at Dou Cong and smiled slightly. Everyone also looked over. Dou Cong immediately stood up as a courtesy. Li Po motioned him to sit down before continuing: "Now is the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Under the internal and external troubles,
, don’t worry that there is no place for you to use your talents. People must not stick to their own laurels. In the future, they will be granted the title of wife and son, and they will wait for their own business.
When everyone is old, it is not too late to brag about their achievements to their children and grandchildren."
Everyone smiled, and the princes were calmed down. The generals felt more or less empty. The emperor's words seemed to have touched their hearts.
The term "internal and external troubles" is a good one. If there were no troubles, what would the generals like them do?
Looking at these young and powerful military generals, Li Po felt a little proud. He believed that these people under his rule would be no worse than Yang Jian's famous ministers and generals.
