When Li Jing came from the east, he brought two thousand people with him.
Among them, 1,500 were from the Yulin Army under General Gongsun An of Yulin. This time, they showed their talents in the battle against Goguryeo.
Mainly the five hundred Mo Dao soldiers. When the battle came, they separated men and horses. They were invincible and used their bloody skills. After the first battle, they showed their power under the royal city of Goguryeo. There were almost no famous soldiers in the army.
People don’t know.
However, the Yulin Army in the early Tang Dynasty was different from that in the Taiping Period. They were born out of the Han Dynasty's personal army, and their combat effectiveness was no worse than other troops.
It's just that after entering Chang'an, he experienced a lot of battles, and some aristocratic children from Chang'an were mixed in, so his origins became a bit more complicated. Most of them were from Jin and Shandong, and almost everyone was full of military achievements.
The lineup is very luxurious.
The remaining five hundred people were also carefully selected. They were all military lieutenants who had made military exploits in the East China Sea War. They followed Li Jing back to Beijing. They were actually rewarded.
Li Jing also considered returning home with this honor and had to be careful, so he didn't take any of his confidants with him to avoid criticism.
When leaving Luoyang, Li Jing and his party's team swelled a bit more, and Li Zhiyun and others were not the only ones who came to Luoyang to greet him.
His close friend Wei Jie sent his eldest son to Luoyang, as well as Li Wu's eldest son, accompanied by people from the Sanyuan Li family and the Chen family. Wu Wang Li Fuwei, who came back first, also sent two
The sons-in-law came to Luoyang to say hello. They were all young people.
Apart from friendship, I actually wanted the younger generation to show their faces in front of the Governor. In addition, in order not to cause trouble to Li Jing, none of the elders came.
Returning to the Central Plains, Li Jing quickly felt the dexterity of people's minds. Everyone was very thoughtful, which was really different from that in the military camp.
Jiangling is very close. Li Jing was in charge of Jiangling for several years, and many people still remember him. Even though he is gone, the tea is still hot.
Of course, this is Li Jing, and it would be impossible to replace him with anyone else.
Therefore, there are many people coming to Jiangling, but they will not follow Li Jing back to Chang'an. They only come to Luoyang to greet the governor, and then they all go back to Jiangling.
Li Jing stayed in Luoyang for three bustling days, experiencing the eight-seat living room and the crowds. Wei Zheng also led him around Luoyang for two days.
When leaving Luoyang, Li Jing was a little reluctant to leave. Everyone was flattering him, praising him, and flattering him. Li Jing had never enjoyed such blessings in his life.
Pei Ju was even more knowledgeable, and he gathered some outstanding young men from Luoyang families and brought them to Li Jing to ask him to criticize them. This kind of treatment is only available to those with great fame.
The prime ministers of the former Sui Dynasty had a lot to do with everyone in the literary world, especially Yang Su, who liked to support the underachievers the most. Li Jing was once criticized by Yang Su when he was young.
Although most of the teenagers who were evaluated by Yang Su's big mouth had a very rough life in the future, it was indeed a good trend at the time.
So Li Jing had to suffer. After all, Li Jing is also a person who writes books and talks, and his status is there. Well, Pei Hongda is really good at getting things done, haha...
Compared with Pei Hongda, Yuwen Shiji... used stupid skills. The gap is so big that I can't bear to think about it.
There is another incident worth mentioning during this period. Li Jing discussed Zen with the monks at Baima Temple. He was very interested in the Buddhist treatises of the Tiantai Sect and expressed his intention to recruit monks from the temple to come to Beijing to teach the Dharma.
Later, it was stopped by Wei Zheng. The imperial court intended to set up monks and Taoist officials to manage Buddhist and Taoist affairs. Moreover, the emperor was quite dissatisfied with the monks. The abbot wanted to cause trouble. Wei Zheng was frightened by Li Jing's random operations.
I really gave some advice.
This was the only setback Li Jing encountered in Luoyang, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
This was mainly because when he was in charge of Jiangzuo, he felt that there were many Buddhist and Taoist sects, many of whom were hypocrites who deceived the world and stole their names and fooled the people.
Today I met the monk from White Horse Temple. He was compassionate and had exquisite Buddhist teachings. He felt that this was a true Buddha, and White Horse Temple was the ancestral home of all Buddhists in the world, so he decided to attract the monks from White Horse Temple to Beijing.
Since Wei Zheng dissuaded him, and he was a regular servant of Sanqi, he knew his son-in-law's intentions, so he would not force anything according to his own wishes.
…………
When leaving Luoyang, Li Jing said goodbye to everyone in Luoyang. He received the best hospitality in Luoyang, and Li Jing was very satisfied.
Go west along the Luoshui River, pass through Tongguan via Hangu, and then enter the boundary of Guanxi.
More and more people were reporting, asking where the governor was and when he was expected to arrive in the capital. The garrison army and the Yulin army all sent people to protect him, which made Li Jing a little nervous.
The local officials no longer greeted the Governor. They all waited on the left side of the road to greet him. They would say a few words to the Governor and tell everyone that we had welcomed him here.
It's not that they don't want to please, but they don't dare to delay the governor's schedule. Officials in Kansai are different from other places. Their every move is under the eyes of the imperial court and they don't dare to act recklessly.
…………
On the outskirts of Chang'an, there is a pavilion ten miles away.
Shangshu Zuopu shot Wen Yanbo and the emperor's eldest son, and King Qin Li Yuan led his people to greet them. Although the emperor and queen did not come, the formation was not small.
In addition to the left officials of the three provinces, there were only three officials in the six departments. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, only Li Jing was able to receive this honor when he returned to the capital to report on his duties.
This is not because Li Jing is the head of the country. When he returned to Beijing from Jiangling to report on his duties, the team that greeted him was no different from other heroes.
The main reason was that this time Li Jing had enough military merits to match him. He only conquered Goguryeo and made others pale in comparison.
This is a real achievement, and there are very few people in the past who have been able to accomplish this feat.
In the autumn wind, people had been waiting for a long time, but no one was impatient. They were all whispering there, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.
Wen Yanbo stood with his hands behind his back, and next to him was the emperor's eldest son Li Yuan, who was almost ten years old. He was not a big man, but he stood there with his hands behind his back just like Wen Yanbo.
With him around, it is difficult for others to come and talk. Every contact with the prince must be carefully considered. If you dare to approach the prince casually, in the eyes of others, you will never say anything simple.
At this time, Li Yuan raised his head, looked at Wen Yanbo and said, "Wen Pushe, will my grandfather go out to lead the troops this time when he returns to the court?"
Wen Yanbo lowered his head and smiled gently at the prince, "Why do you ask? Doesn't King Qin want the governor to go out and work hard again?"
Li Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, when the queen mother meets her grandmother, she always complains that her grandfather doesn't care about the family.
Pushe, you said, every time my grandpa goes out to Beijing, he always goes back quickly. It has been many years since my grandfather left. I can hardly remember what my grandfather looked like. I don’t blame my mother and grandmother for complaining about him. Pushe
Say so?"
Wen Yanbo was surprised and couldn't help but uttered a few childish words in his heart.
This is the difficulty in talking to the prince. The prince is still young, and even if he hears and sees things, he will sometimes say silly things.
Once the secrets of the palace are involved, you will have to worry about it. Look, now he is talking about the private conversations of the Queen and the Lady of Jin. You have to think carefully about how to answer when he talks.
And don’t think that someone is just trying to trick someone at a young age. Maybe they are telling you what they are saying on purpose. Even some of the things they say may not necessarily be what they want to say, but someone may be there to give them guidance.
If you really take it for granted, then you are in danger...
But having said that, Wen Yanbo is Shangshu Zuopushe, the head of the three prime ministers, so there is no need to worry too much. After all, the emperor only granted him the title of King of Qin. Speaking in front of the emperor is really not as easy as Wen Yanbo.
When King Qin becomes the prince, it will be a different situation. At that time, there will be many people around the prince to help him, and you must take every word he says seriously.
"The Governor has worked hard for the country and the country. Your Majesty, please don't blame him..."
Li Yuan laughed and rolled his eyes. Wen Yanbo was stunned for a moment. This... was too much like the moment when His Majesty the Emperor was tempted. For a moment, he didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Sure enough, the child spoke up and said: "I'm afraid Pu She may have misunderstood. I'm not complaining about my grandfather. I just want my mother and grandmother to feel at ease."
And... when a man is born, he cannot always think about himself... Haha, when my grandfather returns to Beijing this time, there will definitely be a lot of nagging in my ears. It seems that I can listen to my grandfather's teachings for a few years. "
When a man is born, he cannot always think about himself? Wen Yanbo grasped the key point in an instant. The prince was only nine years old, and he had already started making plans for the position of crown prince of Jin Dynasty?
Also, nine years old is not too young. If Li Jing can stay in the capital, it will be of great benefit to him.
Wen Yanbo nodded secretly. He was not afraid that the prince was too smart, but that he was ignorant of worldly affairs and would act willfully. As long as the prince had three of His Majesty's skills, he would be able to become an established leader.
And tell him this...
Wen Yanbo smiled and nodded, "The king is right. The governor will be happy if he hears this."
Li Yuan pursed his lips and said that was not necessarily the case. He really didn't mean much when he said this. He heard his mother talk about his grandfather in the palace, and she was really resentful. He felt that his grandfather would definitely come back this time.
I can't leave anymore.
In addition, when people around him talked about his grandfather returning to the court to report on his duties, they all thought it was a good thing that the governor returned to serve in the court. Since everyone said so, it must be reasonable.
As for the country, the country, etc., he has been stuffed in his mind since he was a child, but he is still young and does not have a clear understanding of this. He only thinks that there are so many virtuous ministers and generals in the court, how can he use his grandfather to lead troops abroad?
?
In fact, according to the current situation, from the time Li Yuan leaves the palace to the next few years, he will quickly mature politically, and by the time he is fourteen or fifteen years old, he will be able to have his own opinions and methods.
But at this moment, what he said was heard in the ears of important officials in the court like Wen Yanbo. Even if he thought about it a little, it was absolutely impossible to influence his words and deeds.
