Chapter 754

Li Zhi and Wang Pingan rode together and ran towards Mingde Gate. As soon as they left the place where they stepped on the flag, the nearby people who watched the excitement rushed up to grab the big flag.Under the looting, the flag was torn to pieces, and even the flagpole was broken into several sections, which were divided among the people!

The two thousand generals who followed Wang Pingan to Beijing to show off their martial arts were all surprised to see this situation.Some soldiers whispered: "My dear, the common people like to grab Goguryeo's big flag so much, what's so good about breaking the flag?"

The quick-witted soldier said: "Maybe I took it back to show off. By the way, many families have children from Zhengliao. If they were killed in Liaodong, their families would grab the battle flag of Goguryeo and use it to pay homage to the children at home." , isn’t it the spirit in heaven who can comfort your loved ones!”

The soldiers nodded together, that is indeed the case.When going to the grave, to comfort the family members who died in Goguryeo, what is more meaningful than the battle flag captured from the enemy country, this is an excellent tribute to the grave!

The very flexible soldier among the generals whispered: "We still have quite a few of these big flags. If we sell these big flags, I think we can make a lot of money. We don't have to worry about not being able to sell them, let alone The price is low!"

When everyone heard this, they all nodded their heads. Many people regretted that when they were in Goguryeo, there were so many tattered battle flags that everyone used them as boot cloths.Who would have known that a worthless rag in Goguryeo would become a sought-after piece of cake in Chang'an?In vain lost a chance to make a fortune!

However, as long as there are nimble brains, there will be super nimble brains. Some soldiers will have bright eyes and think: "This is very simple. After entering the city, find a tailor shop and let the tailor secretly make a few Goguryeo noodles." I will sell the big flag, anyway, I don’t have to worry about selling it, and the money will definitely be paid. At most, I will give the tailor more wages. If the tailor’s mouth is blocked, who would know that I am selling a fake flag? !"

The soldiers and generals were all planning in their hearts, and wanted to make a fortune in Chang'an, but Xue Renyi, the leader of the army, slapped his thighs immediately, and said to Su Dingfang beside him: "General Su, the one just now is the Emperor Long Live!" Why didn’t Long Live Lord come here, I was going to faint for a while, so as to please the Emperor!”

As the army advanced, Su Dingfang sat upright on the horse, holding the rein in one hand, and waving the other hand, paying tribute to the people.Hearing Xue Renyi's words, he turned his head and said strangely: "I'm not mistaken, do you want to win the Emperor's favor by fainting? How did you say that?"

Xue Renyi said: "The prince can say that in the heart of Long Live the Emperor, the highest degree of respect is to faint. When the Lord Long Live sees that I respect him, he faints with respect. He will be very happy. Maybe he can seal me up easily The official of the General of the Weifu is a good one!"

Su Dingfang let out a chuckle, laughed, and said: "If you want to enter the Wei Mansion, you don't have to faint the emperor, you just ask the prince. Didn't you hear what the emperor called him just now? Call the prince to be the servant of the king. Do you know what the waiter does?"

Xue Renyi thought for a while, and said: "The prince is going to be the prime minister? It's no problem to follow his path. Can the prince not promote me? Thank you, General Su, for reminding me!"

Su Dingfang laughed and said: "If you want to be a high official, it's not enough to flatter the prince, you have to flatter Master Mi. However, Master Mi's flattery is very easy, as long as you use gold and silver Copper coins, that's it!"

Xue Renyi said: "Two-pronged approach, a good way." Both Mi Xiaomiao and Wang Ping'an are quite familiar with him, it seems that he, the general of the Weifu, is definitely a good idea!

Li Zhi led Wang Pingan through the welcoming team formed by the ministers, and ran for five miles before stopping.Li Zhi turned his head and said: "No disease, it's too awkward for us to ride a horse, go down and ride your own horse, I'm already sweating all over!"

Wang Pingan hurriedly said: "Yes, I have wanted to say it for a long time, but I was afraid of disturbing the emperor's excitement. In fact, I am also sweating." He jumped off the royal horse, and was about to ask the guards for a horse, but He saw his own white dragon horse following over erratically.

The white dragon horse snorted and ran to Wang Ping'an, tilting his head to look at his master.Wang Pingan patted it on the neck, and said with a low laugh: "I wonder why? Why do you think I don't want to ride you, and I have to squeeze a horse with others? Actually, I'm also quite uncomfortable, it's hot, and I'm sweating all over! "

Get on the horse, follow Li Zhi's horse, half a horse behind, and drive to Mingde gate together.

Li Zhidao: "No illness, I have decided to let you be the servant of the province, are you satisfied?"

Wang Ping installed a flattered expression, and said: "Your Majesty, this is not right! The attendant is the prime minister, and I am too young, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public. I am afraid that if I become the prime minister, others will gossip and say It's fine for me to do whatever I want, but if I gossip about the emperor, that's not good!"

Li Zhi was very surprised, and said: "Gossip about me? Where do you start? I haven't been on the throne for a long time, and I haven't even changed my year name. Even if I want to make a mistake, I haven't had time to do it. Why do the people want to talk about me?" gossip?"

Wang Ping'an said: "The common people will say that the emperor is nepotism, and he only promotes his confidants and jesters, completely disregarding the country. How can a person under the age of 20 be the prime minister? The minister is not Gan Luo!"

Li Zhi cheered up, waved his hand, and said: "If anyone refuses to accept you, let him speak out in public to see who is worthy to be this servant, and compare merits. Now that the civil and military courts are full of power, who can compare with merit?" you go!"

After a pause, he smiled again: "You even adopted the king of Goguryeo as a godson. If anyone can be a better godfather than you, then I will let him be a servant! No illness, you can do it, Accept me as a great nephew!" After speaking, he laughed out loud.

Wang Pingan said: "It's just a bowl of porridge and a few pickles!" You need to chat with others, but you don't need to talk to Li Zhi. The matter of calling him father was said in detail.

Li Zhi laughed even louder when he heard this, there is such a thing in the world, a bowl of porridge and a few pickles can make the king of a country call him father, he will try it when he has the chance!

It didn't take long to ride a horse for a distance of thirty miles. After noon, a large group of people entered Mingdemen and went up Zhuque Street!

There are more people on Zhuque Street, and the people in the city are more enthusiastic. Many people brought wine and fruits to work in the army, and many young girls took handkerchiefs and threw them on the heads of the soldiers, and yelled softly. , Do everything possible to attract the attention of the generals!

Compared with Chang'an, Qingzhou is a small place, Qingzhou soldiers have never seen such a posture, seeing the girls shouting at them coquettishly, many soldiers will blush and have thick necks, quite embarrassed.Some young soldiers even held the handkerchief thrown over in their palms, and sniffed it from time to time, feeling extremely intoxicated!

A handkerchief was thrown on Xue Renyi's face, and he grabbed it, sniffed it, and said with a smile, "Women in Chang'an are good, this handkerchief smells really good!"

Su Dingfang said with a smile: "No wonder you always want to stay in Chang'an. So you want to start a family here and marry a young daughter-in-law from the capital!"

Xue Renyi smirked, and said, "Think, why don't you want to, don't you want to?"

"I married a wife long ago, and I have several children!" Su Dingfang laughed.

Wang Pingan turned around at the front of the team, and shouted at the generals: "Brothers, be more energetic, raise the battle flag high, beat the victory drum, and shout the chant!"

The war drums had been prepared long ago, and the mission of the generals to go to Beijing was to show off their martial arts. This kind of thing had already been rehearsed.More than a hundred small drums were beating, and the soldiers and generals shouted in unison: "My master of the Tang Dynasty, mighty!"

As soon as the neat slogans sounded, the people became even more excited. They ran after the soldiers and shouted with all their strength. Take it home as a souvenir!
On Suzaku Street, it was more lively than New Year's Eve.

Passing through Zhuque Street, they came to Chengtianmen, the main gate of the palace. Li Zhi, Wang Ping'an, and a group of ministers dismounted and entered the palace, and climbed up the palace wall. Two thousand soldiers formed several neat square teams, Waiting for Yaowu!
Li Zhi took the drumsticks and beat a big drum himself, and the soldiers below followed the drumbeat, brandishing the weapons in their hands, shouting loudly, and practiced a set of saber techniques!
The common people were extremely excited and cheered loudly. Many people followed the generals to practice gesturing. If they didn’t have a knife, they would use sticks. Get up and make gestures!

After a long time, the rehearsal was over. Li Zhi put down the drumsticks, took out the astronomical document written by Chu Suiliang, read it aloud, appealed to the heaven and earth, and sent a message to the people. The emperor did it!

Amid the shouts of long live, the Yaowu celebration ended. Li Zhi took Wang Ping'an's hand, opened the main hall of the palace, set up a state banquet, and cleaned up the dust for the triumphant soldiers!
At the banquet, Li Zhi personally crowned Wang Ping'an as the Duke of Liao, and entered the province as a servant!
Wang Ping'an finally became the Duke of the State, and he was on an equal footing with Changsun Wuji and the others in terms of title. He also became a servant and became one of the prime ministers!

After the banquet, the officials went home, Li Zhi took Wang Pingan to the Ganlu Hall, and stayed in the hall that night.

Wang Pingan returned to his mansion. When he entered the door, he looked up and saw that the plaque on the door had been replaced. The gold lettering on the red background, Liao State Mansion, was written by Chu Suiliang himself. Do not write to others!
According to the rules, the triumphant soldiers will have three days off, so Wang Pingan can wait three days before going to Menxia Province to receive the seal.He hadn't slept for two nights and was very tired, so he went to bed and slept until it was getting dark, then he woke up.

After getting dressed, Wang Pingan thought to himself: "I don't know how Wu Meiniang is. She must have had a hard time as a nun these days. When I return to Chang'an, I should visit her as soon as possible, so that I can show that I care about her, but I don't know Which courtyard of Ganye Temple does she live in, it's not easy to see her."
