The prince did not come alone, he brought many people to meet the emperor.
The father and son successfully met at the gate of Taiyuan City and entered Taiyuan City to rest together.
Man Bao and the others passed through Taiyuan in a hurry last time, but this time they will stay here for an extra day, so they stayed here, and the three of them made an appointment to go shopping on the street together.
Liu Huan also invited Zhou Liru to play together.
Bai Erlang wanted to bring some local products back to Mingda, so he was particularly keen on visiting the small stalls and shops here.
Man Bao followed behind him and watched with relish. Generally, the most representative of local local products is food.
So in the end, Bai Erlang didn't buy any good things, but Man Bao and Bai Shan followed behind and ate a lot.
Bai Erlang looked at their stomachs and asked Bai Shan, "Your injury healed so quickly?"
Bai Shan said without changing his face: "I am young, in good health, and recover quickly."
At this time, Qibi He Li also said to Ashina and the others: "I never felt old, but after this battle, I really feel old, not as good as those young people."
Then a general laughed and said, "General Qi Bi, why did you say that, you are a well-known fierce general in my Jin Dynasty."
Qi Bi He Li shook his head and said, "Don't talk about the upstart Xue Gui from the army, just talk about Bai Shan, a civil servant who was hit by two arrows and recovered faster than me."
Then a general said quickly: "He is young, why should the general compare with him?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent, even General Ashina, who had always been prudent, couldn't help but glance at each other.
The general finally came to his senses, rubbed his nose and said, "I didn't mean that, I mean, Mr. Bai is younger than us after all, I heard that he hasn't reached the championship yet, the young man at this age recovers the fastest, I think back then When I was in my teens or twenties, I was stabbed in the chest, and I didn’t have the medical skills of Zhou Taiyi. I just fiddled with some golden sore medicine, and I was able to fight the enemy again in less than ten days. At that time, the knife could see the bones. "
"What's the matter, I was hit by an arrow in the chest, I folded the arrow feathers, and I was able to turn around and kill the enemy in a moment."
So General Qibi Heli's emotion turned into recalling the past and showing off of the generals.
As a general, every scar on his body, as long as he didn't lose that battle, was a sign of merit.
General Qibi Heli curled his lips, turned his head and pulled Ashina, who was not involved in the topic, and said, "I don't know who said that Bai Shan's birthday is over, and he has already reached the crown. What do you think I should give him?" How about a crown gift?"
An official from the capital was curious, "Why did General Qi Bi think of giving a gift to Lord Bai?"
He accompanied the prince to meet the emperor, and he didn't know what happened on the battlefield.
Qi Bi He Li sighed and said: "This time, it is thanks to Mr. Bai, if he hadn't pulled me, those two arrows would have shot at me."
"This is a life-saving grace."
Ashina said: "Master Bai also said that you were kind to him in saving his life. I think it is enough for the kindness of the two of you to offset each other."
Qibi Heli: ...
That being said, General Qibi Heli still paid attention to various things, thinking of what to give to Bai Shan as a coming-of-age gift.
What is good at the top must be bad at the bottom, so General Qibi's subordinates searched for good things everywhere, as long as they heard that there was something good, they immediately paid money to look at it, and bought it and gave it to General Qibi.
He made such a big fuss that both the emperor and the prince knew about it.
The emperor summoned him to ask, "What are you doing? The good reputation you gained during the Eastern Expedition will ruin you."
When General Qi Bi heard this, he immediately said: "I have paid for it, those merchants always have to sell things, and if I like something, I didn't take it by force or buy it by force, why not?"
The emperor asked angrily, "Where did you get so much money?"
General Qibi didn't speak.
The emperor said earnestly: "Qing and others are fighting for the country. I don't want to be too strict, but you can't reveal too much. After you go back, Yushitai, Wei Zhi and others are still waiting to find fault."
Among the people brought out by the emperor this time, except for General Ashina who sternly handed over all the spoils he collected to the emperor, who did not bring his subordinates to share the spoils
Including Zhao Guogong, he divided a lot himself, and at the same time quietly gave some to the emperor, and gave some to the medical bill. The loot from the search was basically distributed, and not much could be returned to the treasury.
The emperor himself had led troops to fight before, so he naturally knew that as a general, he had to support the soldiers under him, so he turned a blind eye to such things. Anyway, everyone was fair, and the things were not taken by himself. , will be distributed to one's own subordinates, going down level by level, and in the hands of ordinary soldiers, they can also get some things.
This kind of loot usually has to be piled up in the warehouse for two or three years, and then used after the wind has passed. By then, the people at Yushitai will have forgotten about it.
But Qibi Heli is good. He started to exchange things before he returned to the capital. Do you think the movement is not big enough
The so-called fault of the son not teaching his father, and the dishonesty of his courtiers are naturally the fault of the king. After returning, Wei Zhi will definitely scold him like this.
So in order not to be scolded, the emperor could only stop Qibi Heli's behavior.
He said: "There isn't any good stuff in the capital, so I have to buy it on the way back to court?"
Qi Bi He Li: "I just want to prepare a coronation ceremony for Lord Bai."
Only then did the emperor realize, "Bai Shan and the crown?"
He looked at Gu Zhong.
Gu Zhong bent down and said with a smile: "Yes, Lord Zhou and his son-in-law celebrated a simple birthday for Lord Bai on the way."
The emperor said: "Getting the crown is a big event, even if it is not easy to hold the crown ceremony on the road, you have to make up for it when you go back? I remember that his husband took the name for him?"
It was Gu Zhong who said with a smile: "Yes, I vaguely heard that it is called Zhishan."
The emperor laughed loudly, and said happily, "It matches his name very well. I hope his character will always be like this in the future."
Gu Zhong bowed his head and bent over with a smile and answered "Yes".
The emperor thought for a while and said: "The gold, silver and precious stones you gave him are useless. The ones you want to collect are either treasured swords or BMWs. He is not a general, so he doesn't care about these things. If you want to give them away, go find some To give him a single famous painting, that's what he likes."
Qibi Heli stared, "Where can I find such a thing?"
Merchants rarely have such things in their hands, and even if they do, he doesn't know whether they are true or not, so he dare not buy them.
The emperor smiled and said: "You are not stupid, so don't buy it on the road. What good things can you find on the march? When you return to the capital, you can ask Kong Jijiu for advice. He must know where there are good things. When you buy something and let him look at it twice, he will be happy."
Qibi Heli rolled his eyes, and whispered: "Your Majesty, I have no friendship with Kong Jijiu."
"Ashina has it, you go to Ashina."
Ashina has always liked reading since he surrendered, so he often consulted with Kong Jijiu for advice, and the two became friends after going back and forth, and there was some face there.
