Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

Hou Junji returned to the mansion from Hanwang Mansion, and told Ruoyi about Li Kehui's visit to him in the mansion.Ruoyi was very excited after hearing this, and immediately asked Hou Junji, "Father, when will His Highness the King of Han come?"

Seeing his daughter's joyful expression, Hou Junji sighed slightly in his heart, and said lightly, "I don't even know if I'm a father, wait a minute!"

He was very satisfied with Li Ke's performance in the Palace of the King of Han today. He was neither humble nor overbearing, calm and calm, so that his achievements in the future would definitely not be bad.Even if he is just a prince now, as long as he is given time, Hou Junji can be sure that Li Ke will not miss the opportunity.And he glanced at his well-behaved daughter in front of him again, thinking that Li Ke would not wrong her if he married his own woman.I immediately felt comforted in my heart, and at the same time strengthened my determination to assist Li Ke.

And after Ruoyi returned to her boudoir, she excitedly took out Li Ke's portrait and looked at it for a long time, then put it down, blushing and said to herself, "I don't know when you will be able to come to the house? Are you here?" Look at me, or..." Thinking of this, she felt a little reckless, and couldn't help but blushed even more.Fortunately, no one saw it, so it didn't embarrass her.She put the painting away carefully, and after putting it away carefully, she went to the window and thought for a while, then picked up the pen and began to draw on the paper again.

Ever since she knew that the man she liked was Li Ke, she had learned about Li Ke through the mouths of her close friends.For example, his good calligraphy, especially Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, which has reached the point of confusing the real, is deeply appreciated by Li Shimin.Therefore, she thought that if she met Li Ke one day, she would insist on asking him to write an inscription on her painting.

But today, when Hou Junji told her that Li Ke was going to visit her in a few days, the first thing she thought of was asking him to write an inscription on her painting.But what about inscriptions on that painting?When she was meditating in front of the window, she had a decision, so she picked up a pen and wanted to quickly create the picture in her heart so that Li Ke could inscribe the picture of a lady.

After Hou Junji left, Li Ke couldn't figure out the purpose of Hou Junji's visit to him, so he had to give up.Then, he put his mind on the two court meetings in January on the first day of February two days later.He felt that the issue of forming a new army should also be implemented, and Li Shimin might be announcing the candidate for the new army coach during the court meeting.

In this way, after another two days, it finally came to the first day of February, the day of the court meeting.Li Ke's carriage stopped at the Xuanwu Gate, and when he got off the carriage and walked straight to the Taiji Hall, there were already a group of officials waiting for him, and many people saw him and saluted him, and he also saluted everyone.He froze for a moment when a middle-aged man in a green official uniform saluted him.

"My minister Chang'an County Magistrate Di Zhixun has seen His Highness the King of Han."

"Di Zhixun?" Li Ke suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was the magistrate of Chang'an County hand-picked by Li Shimin years ago?No wonder he was wearing a green robe, it turned out to be the county magistrate of Chang'an County.Chang'an County is the military administrative center of Chang'an, the capital city. Although the county magistrate is low in rank, he has great power. He is the county magistrate of the imperial city, so he is eligible to participate in the twice-monthly court meeting.

Li Ke understood the person in front of him, and then he looked at Di Zhixun carefully, to see what kind of person could cultivate a generation of celebrities like Di Renjie.Di Zhixun's appearance is thin, his eyes are piercing, exuding the radiance of wisdom, and the faint scholarly atmosphere on his body makes it hard to think that he will be the parent officer of a county, but more guesses that he may be the teacher of that private school .

"You and I are both ministers of the dynasty, and County Magistrate Di doesn't need to perform such a grand ceremony." Li Ke smiled kindly.

Di Zhixun knew Li Ke for the first time at any time, but his Cuju had already spread to Kuizhou where he was.At that time, he was thinking, what kind of a prince can create such a novel way of playing Cuju.Therefore, I also thought about Li Ke's various appearances and behaviors in my heart.When I saw him today, I felt that it fit the image of Li Ke in his heart, and he had a good impression of Li Ke again unconsciously.

Li Ke was puzzled, "When did County Magistrate Di arrive in the capital? The emperor's imperial edict was issued two months ago."

"Your Highness doesn't know something, because of the cold winter in the twelfth lunar month, the sky is snowing, and the roads are closed. Therefore, when the imperial decree came to Kuizhou, and the minister hurried back to Chang'an, it was already the Lantern Festival. Therefore, I only saw His Highness yesterday. I am serving as the county magistrate of Chang'an. I’m here today to attend the morning court.”

When Di Zhixun said this, Li Ke was relieved, but he was surprised that the road he said was blocked by heavy snow, which took him a month to walk, and at the same time he felt a little dissatisfied with the traffic roads of the Tang Dynasty.Such a journey is indeed very slow, and if there is a war at all, it will definitely delay the fighter.

While Li Ke was talking with Di Zhixun, Wei Wang Li Tai, Qi Wang Li You and Prince Li Chengqian had all arrived in front of the Tai Chi Hall.Li Ke bid farewell to Di Zhixun and greeted the three of them before standing in the queue and waiting for the audience.When Li Ke was surprised, Li Tai's attitude towards him today was not as cold as before, which made me feel a little baffled.

At this time, Wang De's voice was heard shouting, "Hundreds of officials enter the palace, and the emperor will go to court early!"

Li Ke followed the queue into the Taiji Hall and stood still. Li Ke came in from the Taiji Hall under the guard of Qianniuwei, climbed up the jade steps, and sat on the dragon couch.

"Long live the emperor!" Li Ke knelt down and bowed with all the officials.

"Everyone is flat," Li Shimin said majestically, then glanced at all the officials, and said to Wang De, "Declaration!"

Wang De bowed and agreed, stepped forward and took out the imperial decree and began to read, "On Taoism, Jingbang, Ren Weixunde; divide Shanxi as the uncle, and actually send relatives and sages..." Li Ke still ignored the previous content, listening Read to Wang De, "Now the country is in crisis, and I want to build a new army. I hereby gather Hou Jun as the general of the Shenwu Army of the new army to form the new Shenwu Army..." Then he said the names of several people. When it was Su Dingfang's turn, he heard Wang De read, "Su Dingfang was ordered to be the general of the Shenwu Army to assist Hou Junji."

As soon as the imperial decree was issued, Hou Junji and several future generals came out from the queue, and Su Dingfang also walked in from the door, and everyone received the decree to thank each other.

Li Shimin saw the elites of Tang Dynasty under the stage, and his heart was filled with anticipation, "I entrust the new army to you, I hope you will not let me down, and don't let the people of Datang down."

"Don't worry, your majesty, the general will definitely form an elite army to kill the Turks and defend the Tang Dynasty." Hou Junji replied loudly.And Su Dingfang and others also shouted at the same time, "Don't worry, your majesty, the last general will definitely lead elite soldiers to kill Turks and defend Datang."

Li Shimin smiled when he heard the promise made by Hou Junji and others. After everyone withdrew, they began to discuss the address of the new army camp and the supply of food and grass before leaving the court.

Li Ke hurried out of the Xuanwu Gate as soon as he left the Taiji Hall, he was afraid that Hou Junji would invite him to ride with him in front of all the officials.So I hurried out of Xuanwu Gate and returned to Hanwang Mansion on a carriage.

Su Dingfang's arrangement was as he thought, and the position of General Zhonglang did not insult his talent and status.And Hou Junji's role as a training envoy for the new army was within his acceptable range.Therefore, he has no objection to today's morning court.

However, Li Ke obviously misunderstood one thing, that is, Hou Junji was enjoying everyone's congratulations to him at this time, so he had no time to talk to him.After everyone finished expressing their happiness and left in a hurry, Su Dingfang stepped forward to salute, "The humble Qianniuwei captain Su Lie has seen the general."

Hou Junji saw Su Dingfang who was a few years younger than himself, and thought of his Li Ke's people, he couldn't help feeling more fond of him, "I should also congratulate Su Zhonglang for being a general." Then he laughed and said , "You and I both have important positions. Forming a new army for the Tang Dynasty has a heavy responsibility. I also hope that General Su Lang will assist this general in the future."

Su Dingfang cupped his fists, "Don't worry, General, the general will do his best."

"En" Hou Junji nodded, and chatted with Su Dingfang about how to form a new army. Both of them were military generals, and they were well-versed in the art of war. They chatted as they walked, and they talked about Xuanwumen not long after.

"General, please come back. I have a job in my humble position, so I bid farewell." Su Dingfang said.

Knowing that Su Dingfang is still the captain of Qianniuwei and needs to be on duty in the palace, Hou Junji said, "General Su Lang, please come back. I hope you can report to the Ministry of Military Affairs. I will wait for the good news at the Shenwu Military Guard."

"No," Su Dingfang replied, before disappearing before Hou Junji's eyes.And Hou Junji, through the chat with Su Dingfang just now, found that his military talent is not inferior to his own, he was surprised again in his heart, and lamented that there are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Li Ke's mansion.I can't help being happy that I chose Li Ke!
