Chapter 469 End of Book: The Emperor Receives

The morning sun jumped out of the sky, dyeing the clouds in the sky red, and the half-covered golden porcelain pierced through the gaps in the clouds and sprinkled to the village.

The early birds hopped and sang happily in the dense forest, crossed the foot of the mountain where the smoke was curling up with flapping wings, and when they went to the open land at the entrance of the village, they were suddenly frightened by the mighty figure spreading out, and flapped their wings to the sky.

Under the dark clouds, several carriages stopped at the entrance of the village, and the eldest grandson Wuji in a plain shirt got out of the carriage and stepped out with the jade belt around his waist. Disputing voices, hurriedly got out of the carriage and went up to meet them.

Yuchi Jingde at the village entrance rolled up his sleeves, smashed his chest, and pointed at the villagers who were holding farm tools and lined up to confront each other. Seeing the posture, they seemed to be rushing up the mountain.

"I said Yuchi Jiangjun, we are asking for help from others, so don't be impulsive."

Changsun Wuji hurried up with a few guards and servants, pulled Yuchi Jing aside with a tug on his muscular arm, and smiled with him.Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by a voice behind him.

"My lord, are you here too?"

Looking back, Shen Guogong Gao Shilian walked over with his head held high and the wind blowing under his feet.

Clasping his fists and bowing to his elder grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian looked around at the confronting people, slowly lowered his palms, his unsmiling face twitched slightly, he raised his hands and said,

"Folks, the current epidemic in the Western Borderlands has devastated lives, and many sick people have been displaced from their homes. It is too horrible to look at."

"We are all officials in the court. We are here to invite virtuous people to come to Beijing, and we have no malicious intentions. I would like to trouble everyone, just let Li Xian know."

Although the old man is old, his words and deeds all carry the shadow of a general, which makes people feel a little unbearable.

The more than [-] guards in armor and spears that followed were different from the servants and guards brought by the Changsun Mansion and Duke Yuchi. Just standing back like that gave people a sense of majesty and daunting .

The honest and honest villagers have never seen such a scene before, confronting more than 100 people from the three mansions, the hands holding the farm tools are trembling uncontrollably, swallowing saliva with difficulty, the son of Li Zheng looks a little panicked Go to the three elders who are full of official authority, and they speak tremblingly.

"This... I will send someone to call."

As soon as the words were finished, there was a sudden rustling of horses and horses behind him. Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Duan Zhixuan and other veterans also came in the car together.

Under the leadership of several veteran ministers, the gathered servant Fu Ding came towards the already crowded village entrance from afar, clasping their hands and shouting.

"Shen Guogong, Master Changsun, are you here too?"

"This is great! There should be some hope now!"

One by one, after bowing hands with a few people, they briefly talked about the war in the western frontier and the matter of dispatching people, and the later veteran officials were relieved.

Wei Zheng was an outspoken person, although he had conflicts with Li Xian in the court, but in the end it was for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't have many festivals.

Seeing that Shi Lai was here for the minister, he frowned.

"Shen Guogong, we are so mighty, it will inevitably make His Majesty suspicious, will it be detrimental to Mr. Li?"

Gao Shilian stood in front of his head with his hands behind his back, looked at the houses halfway up the mountain covered by the lush juice, and opened his mouth slowly.

"Your Majesty informed the minister last night to rest for three days, saying that he was going to visit a friend and that it would be fine."

"Furthermore, Li Xian and his children are also well aware that sooner or later they will be members of the royal family, and they are also a treasure that His Majesty holds in the palm of their hands."

"There are some things that we don't talk about, but we courtiers have to do it."

The words paused, and he let out a long breath.

"Perhaps Your Majesty also hopes that Li Xian will return to Beijing to have such an ending!"

The breeze blows away the leaves of the banyan trees, and the rustling sound is drowned out in the bustle of people and the hustle and bustle of carriages and horses.

Dozens of carriages were driven to the newly built stone road at the entrance of the village, and guards in cold armor surrounded the master of his mansion, delimiting a small area of ​​his own, crowded in an inch of land.

Several old ministers in the position of Duke had already been invited by the villagers to sit on chairs and stools and lined up in the middle of the open field.Lu Taigong, who had the highest prestige, was also dragged to the chair and stool by these princes and ministers to ask questions.The old man who used to speak out of the air but spoke correctly, now also seemed submissive, rubbing his palms in response.

There were no longer enough chairs and stools for a dozen or so households. The impatient villagers wiped the slate clean with their sleeves and invited the officials from the imperial city to sit down.Some simply took out their mattresses, but were at a loss as to where to put them.

The craftsmen in the Imperial City Workshop held brand new cotton-padded clothes and hugged the wine jar to squeeze out the long flow of people, but they were grabbed by the guards, saying that it was the king of Jin, Li Zhi, who was in front of him, so he could not run into each other.Hubu Shangshu pinched the newly drawn blueprints, causing the noisy crowd to see Li Xian.Elder Wen of the Firearms Camp completely became paralyzed, looking at the vast crowd with a sad face, urging the young and strong under his command to invite them respectfully.

Li Xian, who hadn't woken up yet, was picked up from the bed by Da Zhu, and in his confusion, he could only hear the whistling wind in his ears. When he was rushing to the entrance of the village, he was completely woken up by the noise of loud voices.Crouching on the back of the big pillar and squinting slightly to see the dark crowd at the foot of the mountain, he lost all sleepiness.

With disheveled hair on his head, he looked at the foot of the mountain, seeing pieces of armor and bright blades, the hand grabbing his shoulder suddenly tightened.

"This... who are these people!"

"Your friends are all high officials from the court!"

The sweat-stained fat face turned slightly to one side, looked at half of the slightly frightened face with endless admiration, and sincerely praised.

"Mr. Li, I didn't expect you to have such a good popularity in the imperial city. You must be an official like a county magistrate, not a state shepherd?"

There was a wry smile on Li Xian's face, and he sighed softly.

"If that's the case, it's fine."

On the winding road, the running figure was finally spotted, and someone couldn't help shouting.

"Here we come, Mr. Li is here!"

The whole Wu Yangyang was in a commotion.

The guards relied on their swords to protect the Duke and the royal family in front of them, and the important officials couldn't sit still any longer. They stood up and opened their mouths to the figure approaching.

"Nephew Li Xian, you are here! There are hundreds of thousands of sick people on the western frontier waiting for your treatment. I hope Mr. Li will return to Beijing to take up his post!"

"May Mr. Li come out of the mountain to save me in the western frontier of the Tang Dynasty, so that my agriculture and mulberry will flourish and the people will be rich!"

"Master Li, you can also taste the clothes made in the workshop and the new wine. Those of us who have benefited will never forget your kindness!"

"Mr. Li, apprentice Li Zhi is here to pay a visit. I hope that Mr. Jin can re-enter the residence of Prince Jin."

The noisy words are comparable to the beating of mountain drums in the past, which shocked many birds and beasts away, and the figures spreading all over the mountains flocked to the figures descending the mountain, shouting, hoarse, and looking forward to it.

Li Xian looked at the huge flow of people, his scalp went numb for a while, and he lay down on the back of the dazed pillar, forgetting to get down for a while.

bang~
The loud sound of gongs shook the road from the entrance of the village. Yellow chariots with red dragon, phoenix, and auspicious clouds slowly appeared at the entrance of the village. Soldiers spread out on both sides of the road knelt down one by one like undulating waves.

"Your Majesty is here~"

The long voice resounded through the village. On the sedan chair, Li Shimin smiled slightly. His slightly thin body leaned against the cushion, watching the crowd calm down one by one. After clearing the road, stay on the open ground that was given up.

"I never thought that I would be accompanied by so many people when I came to visit my daughter."

"You have a heart."

The tiger's eyes shone brightly, and glanced at the kneeling and prostrating people, stepped out of the tiger's step, stepped on the soil, looked at Li Xian on the back of the chubby figure, and smiled.

"You kid, long time no see."

Li Xian, who was in pajamas, opened his mouth to scream, but couldn't say a word.

Looking at this familiar figure, he was stunned for a moment, and cursed helplessly in his heart.

[Er... daughter? 】

[Li Er!You really linger, why don't you let people get a good night's sleep? 】
