In front of hundreds of officials, brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes. They were speechless and choked up. They fully demonstrated to everyone what brotherly respect and brotherly love are.
Kong Qing felt moved when he saw it...
As for the acting skills of the Prince and King Qin, if you look at the acting skills of the Prince and King Qin a thousand years later, only Qingxia and Manyu can compete with them. It is no problem to take the little golden man and the magic horse.
"By the way, Lao Shu..."
Kong Qing, who didn't want to see the Li Shimin brothers show off their acting skills, simply glanced at the team of black armor riders behind Li Shimin out of boredom, and in the end, he caught a glimpse of a young man in his thirties, burly and with a heroic appearance.
people.
There's no way around it. As the saying goes, there's a little red in the darkness. This young man in a red brocade robe is really too eye-catching among a bunch of black knights in black armor.
"Do you know who that person is?"
Shu Chuo stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction of Kong Qing's chin.
"I haven't seen him before, but judging from his clothes, he should be Du Fuwei!"
"Du Fuwei?"
Kong Qing looked at the young man again in surprise.
"He is Du Fuwei, so young?"
"Of course, Du Fuwei's young hero..."
Shu Chuo stroked his beard with his hand and whispered.
"He was only in his twenties when the incident broke out, but it was said that he was brave in battle and treated people fairly, so many people older than him were sincere in calling him big brother."
Kong Qing blinked silently.
If he remembered correctly, didn't Master Huang, a well-known Liu Bei writer, say that Du Fuwei was in his forties or fifties during the uprising? And he was even called daddy by a certain Shuanglong who was seventeen or eighteen years old...
Kong Qing looked at Du Fuwei, who looked to be in his thirties or forties at most, and thought about the scene where Ssangyong called him daddy, and suddenly felt a chill.
"Lao Shu, I heard that Du Fuwei likes to adopt adopted sons. Is this true?"
"That's true. It is said that Du Fuwei has more than thirty godsons..."
Shu Chuo nodded first, and then said with emotion.
"But there is nothing we can do about it. A commoner like Du Fuwei, who has no foundation, cannot be like those aristocratic families. After the uprising, he can find many reliable talents in his family. In addition, he was
I don’t have children or anything, and marriage won’t work. If I want to win over my subordinates, I can only think of these ideas that won’t make it to the table.”
Kong Qing nodded silently.
It turns out that Master Huang remembered it wrong. Du Fuwei is not older, but older!
"Actually, I am not like this..."
Shu Chuo twirled his beard with his hand and sounded a little excited.
"It's just because my family has passed down some meager skills and gained some insignificant reputation, so all the big sects of the Tao sect keep away from me. I have wasted half my life. If I hadn't met the leader, I might not have been able to enter the Tao in this life."
After all, there are still no humble families in the upper class, and no noble families in the lower class!"
"Don't worry, Lao Shu..."
Seeing Shu Chuo's expression of emotion, Kong Qing couldn't help but reach out and pat his shoulder.
"After you join Taoism, Pindao can assign you to preside over a party. Then you can give those like you a chance to become Taoists. However, it still depends on your character."
"yes!"
Shu Chuo bowed and saluted Kong Qing with a rare serious expression.
"I will definitely try my best!"
After Kong Qing and Shu Chuo murmured for a while below, the welcoming ceremony was almost over. Under the sincere invitation of Prince Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin followed him and got into the prince's car, while Xuan Jiaqi was the guard.
With the guards at their sides, other officials got on the carriages one after another, rode on horses, and returned to Chang'an in a mighty manner.
More than an hour later, Xuan Jia rode through Mingde Gate and onto Zhuque Avenue. At this time, both sides of the street were already crowded with spectators.
For those who suffered from the wars at the end of the Sui Dynasty, seeing the invincible King Qin triumphant could also increase their sense of security and confidence in the Tang Dynasty.
And the most important thing is that there is a lack of entertainment items now, so the military parade is definitely an experience worth bragging about for a year.
Da da da……
The black armor knights were arranged in a row of five, riding their horses neatly on Suzaku Street. The polished black black armor shone in the sun, making these knights look like soldiers from heaven.
A big man in black hid behind the gate of Lanlingfang, carefully observing the black armor knight passing by. Finally, when his eyes fell on the face of a man in red brocade, the corners of his mouth suddenly grinned.
Already.
"Du Fuwei, you actually came to Chang'an. It seems that God is going to help me to make Wu great again!"
"Laoshu..."
When they arrived outside the gate of Chang'an City, Kong Qing gave Shu Chuo a hand.
"Just help bring the person back to the Taishi Bureau. Pindao has some other things to deal with."
"yes!"
Shu Chuo agreed respectfully.
"There is a certain leader here, so feel free to go there..."
"good!"
Kong Qing nodded, turned around and took two steps, his expression instantly became stiff.
What does it mean to go with peace of mind...
Shu Chuo, can you speak human language?
"..."
More than an hour later, after the last black armor knight entered the Suzaku Gate of the imperial city, the military parade was completely over.
The return of such an elite knight in black armor, and the presence of the Tang Dynasty's invincible General Tiance, King of Qin Li Shimin, can also be regarded as a shot in the arm for the people of Chang'an, who have always been wary of Turkic invasions from time to time.
Needle.
Although His Majesty Li Yuan did not go out to welcome his good son back today, he still waited at the Tai Chi Hall in advance. He immediately summoned Li Shimin as soon as he came back and praised him fiercely in front of all the officials. His good words were free of charge.
In the same manner, several large baskets were thrown out, and finally it was announced that the King of Qin would be rewarded with the title of twelve generals.
On the surface, His Majesty Li Yuan has handed over all the military force in the entire Jingzhao land to the King of Qin, and even handed over his own defense force. It can be said that he has great trust in his son.
But in fact everyone knows that each of the Twelve Guards has its own general, and these generals are the confidants of His Majesty Li Yuan. The King of Qin has no qualifications to replace them, so the twelve generals on the left and right are the ones given to the King of Qin.
It's just a few more words added to a long title, with no practical use.
His Majesty Li Yuan was even more kind to Du Fuwei, comforted him greatly, and directly named him the crown prince's eunuch. His Majesty Li Yuan even announced on the spot that Du Fuwei would be the fourth figure in the Tang Dynasty from now on, and his status would be second to His Majesty Li Yuan's relatives.
His son, King Li Yuanji of Qi, was above him.
Du Fuwei naturally shed tears of gratitude!
But in fact everyone knows that this so-called fourth figure in the Tang Dynasty is just listening.
Many times His Majesty Li Yuan said something that I couldn't believe. For example, when he proclaimed himself emperor in the first year of Wude, he awarded a group of "Taiyuan Yuanmou Heroes". What His Majesty Li Yuan said at that time was that he was willing to share wealth and honor with everyone. Even if you are wrong, as long as you are not treason.
I can tolerate it...
As a result, in the second year, Liu Wenjing, one of the top three heroes in Taiyuan Yuanmou, and his entire family died!
Then His Majesty Li Yuan said that Liu Wenjing had rebelled!
…
But no matter what, on the day when the King of Qin returned to Chang'an with Du Fuwei, His Majesty Li Yuan gave the King of Qin enough face. Hundreds of officials greeted him in the suburbs, and everyone looked up to him. He was awarded an official position. In the end, he even made an unprecedented move in the Zhao Dynasty near the Hanlin Academy and Hongwen Hall.
The Palace of Virtue gave him a banquet and brought all the officials together to welcome King Li Shimin of Qin.
Not to mention this, His Majesty Li Yuan went on to announce that in order to celebrate King Qin’s triumphant victory, King Wu would not be restrained in Chang’an City for three days!
Affected by this good news, the passenger flow of Pingkangfang this evening has doubled compared to the past. The entire Pingkangfang Sanqu is even more crowded, and the flower buildings on both sides of the street are also brightly lit.
The red-sleeved ladies upstairs raised their little white hands and moved downwards.
"That handsome young man, do you want to come in and take a look at this heavy conscience of the slave family?"
Well, those who can say this are the young ladies in Beiqu whose cultural level is not high, while the young ladies in Zhongqu and Nanqu are more elegant.
For example, at this time, in the flower building of Li Duanduan in Pingkangfang Zhongqu, a singer was singing and dancing, twisting her waist and swinging her long sleeves while singing in a soft voice.
"Turn around to face the flowing snow, get up on the bed and embrace the beautiful bushes. The mandarin ducks dance across their necks, in the emerald acacia cage. The brows and eyebrows gather frequently, and the red lips are warm and melting. The air is clear and fragrant, the skin is moist and jade, and the muscles are plump. I am unable to move my wrists carelessly, so many
She is bowing tenderly. There are beads of sweat, and her hair is messy and green..."
Under the stage where she was dancing, there were some distinguished people who were cheering and praising her.
"Good speech, good voice, and good dancing are the three great talents!"
"..."
At this time, outside the door of Li Duanduan Flower House, two people in simple clothes were huddled in the corner of the street, listening to the faint sound of singing and dancing coming from the flower house with envious expressions on their faces.
.
"This stupid Li Zitong has such a good life..."
One of them looked at the bustling flower house and said in a jealous voice.
"How much does it cost to come to Hualou once every two days? It's such a waste."
"There is no way, who made the saint be generous back then,"
The other one was staring closely at a ragged young lady in the flower building opposite, and his mouth seemed to be drooling.
"I've rewarded this idiot with so much money, why don't I just work hard to build..."
Before he finished speaking, a man in gray had already passed by them, stretched out his hands, and touched their heads lightly.
Click!
After a soft sound, the expressions on the two people's faces instantly became dull. The next moment, their limp bodies were lifted up by the man in gray, just like two drunk people.
Walking towards the outside of Pingkangfang.
A quarter of an hour later, the man in gray returned to Pingkangfang again, went directly to the door of a room in the flower building next to Li Duanduan, and gently opened the door with his hand.
The door creaked open, revealing Li Zitong's somewhat excited and alert face.
After seeing the man in gray, he seemed relieved, then opened the door a crack and let the man in gray in.
In addition to Li Zitong, there was also a big man in black clothes with a ferocious face in the room. Li Zitong extended his hand to introduce the man in gray.
"This is someone's brother, and also someone's right-hand man, Roberto!"
The man in gray nodded to Li Botong, then looked at Li Zitong and said simply.
"I have taken care of the two groups of people who were following you. Now we must set off immediately. Before the other party notices that you have disappeared, go through Lantian, cross Shangyu Road to Nanyang, and then sneak back to Jianghuai!"
"good!"
Li Zitong clapped his hands and stood up with excitement on his face.
"I have been waiting for this day for a long time!"
