Li Yuan had no time to reply, so he got off his horse in a panic, then immediately stepped forward, knelt down on the ground, and shouted to Zhu Ling: "Your Majesty, Li Yuan, the general of the Liaodong Army is here to see you!"
He didn't know when he broke out in cold sweat, soaking his entire armor. He suppressed the heavy breathing in his chest. He didn't dare to say a word, his face turned pale, and he didn't dare to raise his head at all.
Thinking that he had delayed entering the city just now and had a huge misunderstanding of the capital and even His Majesty, he was really frightened to the extreme at this time. He never thought that the person waiting for him was His Majesty!
Your Majesty waited for me for a while, but I kept delaying. For such a crime, I am afraid that this time I will really be charged with contempt for His Majesty!
When Zhu Ling saw Li Yuan being frightened like this, he just smiled helplessly. Did he really look like a tyrannical monarch? The ministers either avoided him, or when they met him, it was like seeing a ghost.
, the silence makes people feel distressed.
"Get up."
When he walked up to Li Yuan, he didn't directly help him up, but his gentle words made Li Yuan, who was in shock, feel huge waves in his heart.
Is this still the same Majesty who beheaded countless ministers?
Li Yuan stood up slowly and raised his head slightly to look at Zhu Ling. The two were only a few steps away and seemed very close. This was also the first time for him to see His Majesty with his own eyes, so he was naturally a little excited and nervous. At this point,
The courage and heroism that used to kill the enemy in bloody battles were completely gone.
Li Yuan, who had just been frightened and gasping for air, suddenly felt something on his shoulders. He turned around and saw that His Majesty was actually putting his hands on his shoulders!
"Thank you for your hard work! Mr. Li, on behalf of the officials and people of the capital, I would like to thank you for traveling long distances to defend the capital. You have worked so hard. I will not forget you. I will post a notice to tell everyone about your achievements. This city
The people will never forget you!"
Listening to His Majesty's sudden and sincere words, Li Yuan felt a warm current flowing through his body, even to his heart, and the tears in his eyes instantly burst out and flowed down disobediently.
It turns out that His Majesty is so grateful to his Qin Wang!
He had been waiting at the city gate for him to enter, but he didn't trust His Majesty so much. Suddenly he felt remorseful and blamed himself, hating himself for using the heart of a villain to treat the heart of a gentleman.
"His Majesty!"
Li Yuan couldn't help but feel sad, and knelt down with a plop, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty understands us, and I will be grateful to you!"
Seeing that Li Yuan was immediately defeated under his offensive with a few words, it was completely beyond Zhu Ling's expectation. He thought that Li Yuan was still a little wary of him, but he didn't know that this person was just because of a few words.
Be so true to yourself.
In his mind, he suddenly had a bolder idea to conquer Guan Ning's cavalry, that is, to conquer this Li Yuan!
But of course there was no chance at this time, so we had to do it step by step, step by step. Then he sighed and said: "You have traveled a long way from Shanhaiguan and scared off the intruder for dozens of miles. You are certainly meritorious!"
Li Yuan and his wife came again, and Meng Zhaoxiang, who was chasing after him on horseback, also rushed here. He immediately dismounted and walked to Zhu Ling's side, knelt down on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I am late."
"No, you get up and go back and tell Wang Cheng'en to tell him to have the imperial kitchen prepare some good dishes today. I want to entertain a hero, so remember not to rush into it!"
Hearing His Majesty's sudden change of style today, Meng Zhaoxiang did not react for a moment and did not reply in time. After all, His Majesty has always been frugal and honest, and has never used luxurious dishes. Is it like this today?
Meng Zhaoxiang raised his eyes and glanced at Li Yuan in front of him. Seeing tears hanging faintly from the corners of his eyes, he naturally felt confident.
"I obey the decree!"
Understanding His Majesty's thoughts, Meng Zhaoxiang stopped talking nonsense, immediately stepped back, mounted his horse and turned back. Of course, he could not completely rest assured about His Majesty's safety, so he sent a few soldiers to protect His Majesty personally. After hearing this, Wen Yao was immediately moved.
They scrambled to mount their horses and galloped away.
Wang Guoxing was seriously injured by Luo Yangxing that day. Although he survived, he was seriously injured and had to lie at home to recuperate. Naturally, his majesty fainted that day and had no idea.
On the other hand, Li Yuan was moved by Zhu Ling's sincerity and had no grudges at all. There was no hint of concealment in his words. He just listened to his boastful remarks: "Your Majesty, last night I encountered a group of thousands of intruders.
, I originally thought of taking a detour to avoid alerting the enemy, but it would take more time. Thinking of the safety of the capital, His Majesty and the people, I attacked decisively, defeated the intruders easily, and then arrived at the capital without stopping. "
"What are the casualties of our troops?"
"Reporting to your majesty, only a few people suffered some flesh wounds, nothing serious. On the other hand, the intruders were killed by our army without any trace of armor left behind. Almost the entire army was wiped out, although a few escaped during the chaotic battle.
, but it didn’t do any harm. We burned all the corpses afterwards, which actually added fertility to the land."
Li Yuan was the talker, and he didn't stop talking at all. Zhu Ling didn't show any displeasure, but listened with great interest. In the distance, several generals from the Guan Ning Army saw their commander-in-chief chatting happily with one man.
, but I don’t know who this person is.
"Old Wang, who do you think that person is? General Li kept talking and never stopped." A general drank a ladle of water, his eyes were fixed on that side, and he asked
.
"The clothes seem to belong to the ministers in the capital, but I have never seen anything with yellow on the clothes. It seems that no one except the emperor and the prince wears it, right?"
The general was also full of doubts. He looked hard but couldn't see it, let alone that the person was His Majesty!
"Isn't it your Majesty?" The general who asked the question first asked tentatively, but he was very unsure of his own idea.
"Nonsense, how could your Majesty leave the city?"
The general's face was full of disbelief, and his words were full of ridicule.
Suddenly, Li Yuan came over on horseback, which made the generals feel at a loss. They quickly put down the things in their hands and faced Li Yuan, with a respectful look, without any sloppiness.
"Lord Commander-in-Chief!"
"Aren't you going to the city, Lord Soong? Why did you turn back?"
"The plan has changed. Immediately tell the soldiers in each battalion to pack up their clothes and get into formation! Your Majesty will personally review our troops here!"
There was a lot of excitement in Li Yuande's tone, and there was no restlessness or nervousness at all.
"What? Your Majesty is coming?" When these generals heard His Majesty, they immediately looked panicked and looked at each other. If the Commander-in-Chief had not said this, they would have just regarded it as a joke.
"Why don't you hurry up and reorganize the military formation?"
When Li Yuan saw these people just kneeling on the ground without saying a word, Li Yuan immediately became angry and couldn't help but scolded them in a deep voice.
"As you command!"
A few people did not dare to neglect, and immediately rode horses towards their respective camps. They were greatly flustered. They never expected that His Majesty would actually come to visit in person? And he would review the army?
When did His Majesty care about them so much? In the past, His Majesty would only order them to station troops at a distance and fight with the slaves and thieves. In some cases, the soldiers were even not paid in full, but today it is unusual.
"Your Majesty, our army is gathering in formation!"
Li Yuan rode over, then quickly dismounted and said respectfully to Zhu Ling.
"Then let me see the elite of Ming Dynasty."
