Faced with Hei Te Changzhi's "arrogant arrogance" and the menacing murderous intent, Zhang Jianzhi lowered his head and smiled indifferently. He had been in Anxi for two years and had already become accustomed to Hei Te Changzhi and Xue Rengui. temper.
What's more, even he himself has gone from being an elegant and elegant civil servant to becoming more rough and brave after being tempered by Anxi in the past few years.
But I have to say that this place is indeed a good place to train the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is the vast desert, rugged mountain roads, towering snow-capped mountains, mountains, woods, etc., it is suitable for the entire army. Troops were pulled inside for terrain training.
"You and Lao Xue had better restrain your temper. King Li Zhe of England may be coming in a few days. Don't look so brave and arrogant then and scare His Highness the King of England." Zhang Jianzhi Said easily.
"Of course I understand. Don't forget to give Old Xue a few words when the time comes. Since I followed the late emperor to fight, and His Highness put him in Anxi and let his temper control the army, now the army officers and soldiers are almost contaminated. He has a gangster spirit." Hei Chi Changzhi filled Zhang Jianzhi's glass of wine and said to Zhang Jianzhi while lying on the table.
"You are no better than him? Let's go and see Xue Ne's wife. She has given birth to a grandson or granddaughter for old Xue. In order to continue the Xue family, now it is up to old Xue to go into battle himself." Zhang Jian After finishing the wine, he shook the empty wine can and said with a smile.
Faced with Zhang Jianzhi's evil smile, Hei Te Changzhi was stunned for a moment before he understood, and immediately laughed and cursed: "You old gangster, if Old Xue hears this, I won't break your legs, haha... But what you said Yes, Lao Xue is really worried about continuing the family lineage."
After paying the bill, the two of them tightened their clothes and put thick furs on their bodies. After receiving the warm greetings from the innkeeper, they plunged into the wind and snow.
The guards, who had already prepared their horses, were already waiting at the door. The two got on their horses and took a few steps forward when they saw a pair of men and horses blocking the road ahead in the thick wind and snow flying in the air. superior.
"Who is he? Damn it, you dare to block my way in Broken Leaf." Hei Te Changzhi, who was a little dizzy, yelled on horseback without waiting for the guards around him to ask.
"Why are you yelling and screaming, aren't you afraid that the wind and snow will fill your dog's belly?" Xue Rengui's excited voice sounded in the distance through the curtain-like snowflakes.
"You are not at home to hold your grandson, so why are you here?" Hei Chi Changzhi and Zhang Jianzhi looked at each other, rode forward and walked up to Xue Rengui and asked.
After approaching Xue Rengui, I saw that there were nearly white soldiers standing behind and beside Xue Rengui, each wearing a helmet, escorting two carriages with what looked like cargo.
"Are you going to send your child back to Chang'an? We can't wait in this stormy and snowy weather..." Zhang Jianzhi looked at the two carriages in confusion and said smartly.
"Do you think I'm willing to come out? It's not like you don't know, Zhang Jianzhi, that in a few days, His Royal Highness will come to Anxi in person. With His Royal Highness' kindness and kindness, after coming, he will definitely go to Bazhou, right? Why don't we go to His Majesty the King of England to dispel His Highness the Crown Prince's doubts? As a minister, do you still have to wait for His Highness the Crown Prince's personal order for this matter? It's such a windy and snowy day, why don't you go and take a look? Are you worthy of the salary and titles given to you by the Tang Dynasty?" Xue Rengui's originally gray beard turned white after standing in the wind and snow for a while.
Heito Changzhi blinked his eyes. As a foreign general, although no one looked at him that way, he was still alert to himself all the time. Therefore, he never expressed any opinions on this kind of matter. In his heart, he always thought that as long as it was beneficial to His Highness, he would do it through fire and water.
"General Xue's words make sense. Either the subordinates ignored it, or General Xue took the overall situation into account." Zhang Jianzhi's original drunkenness completely disappeared, and he said to Xue Rengui solemnly in the wind and snow.
"You don't have to be self-effacing. You've been busy enough these days. You have to focus on handling the matters that His Highness the Crown Prince has entrusted to you. When I think of such small things, I won't let you worry about them anymore, but... you are not allowed to talk about it again in the future. Why am I a tyrant in Anxi? Am I as domineering as Hei Te Changzhi? I have always loved the people as a son, and my reputation in Anxi cannot be slandered by you. Look at the evaluations given to me by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War. Every year It’s above average…”
"I'm the superior, taller than you." Hei Te Changzhi faced the wind and snow, straightened his waist, and said lightly teasing Xue Rengui.
"Hmph! I have a grandson now, so I won't argue with you old boy, haha..." The voice was so full of energy that the wind and snow in the sky seemed to be three feet away from him: "When we come back from Bazhou, I will Invite you to a wedding banquet."
"Xue Ne should ask for this, right? She has a son..."
"It's none of your business. Do you want to drink the wedding wine or not? Don't come if you have the guts!" Xue Rengui's voice gradually disappeared into the wind and snow under the stunned guards at the gate of Suiye City.
The team of nearly a hundred people began to slowly move forward along the official road built by the Anxi Corps in these years when there was no war.
After the official roads between the four towns in Anxi were originally built, Li Hong wrote a decree to them, which was to collect tolls from business travelers, and Xue Rengui and others agreed.
But for some reason, Li Zhi found out about this matter when it passed through the Ministry of Household Affairs and immediately vetoed it.
Therefore, in the end, Li Zhi completely scrapped one of Li Hong's plans to make a fortune on the grounds that he would not put too much pressure on foreign business travelers going to Datang for business.
In the winter of the second year of Yifeng, His Royal Highness Prince Li Hong led the ministers and respectfully welcomed the emperor and empress back to Chang'an, who had been patrolling the world for more than two years, outside the imperial city gate.
"I respectfully welcome my father and mother back to the palace." Li Hong, with hundreds of officials behind him, stood outside the imperial city gate and said loudly.
Then, under the loud voice of the courtesy officer, the emperor's luxurious chariot slowly passed through the officials and returned to the Daming Palace.
"Where is the prince?" Wu Mei's voice came from the carriage. The prince who was supporting him immediately took two steps back and came to the window.
The car window opened, and Wu Mei's familiar face appeared in front of Li Hong. He hadn't seen it for more than two years, and he never thought that his appearance was still the same as when he left, but his face was somewhat tired from the journey.
"My son, I have met my mother. Queen, it has been more than two years, and you have not changed at all. You are still so young, beautiful, graceful, graceful and noble. You are worthy of being the empress of my mother-in-law in the Tang Dynasty." Li Hong looked at Wu Mei. The warmth in her eyes also concealed her longing for Long Ma with a smile.
"In the past two years in court, you should practice your words." Li Zhi's voice came from the other side.
The little bastard only praised his mother, but I sat there for a long time without even saying a word of praise.
"Father Ankang, don't mention it. I haven't seen you for more than two years, and your complexion is really getting better and better. When the courtiers see you soon, they will definitely think that you look better than you did two years ago." Someone immediately followed her up, praising his father Long, and tried to speak to Wu Mei several times, but he stopped her every time.
"Yes, since you are no longer angry with me, I have basically stopped having dizzy emergencies as soon as I am in a good mood." Li Zhi glanced at Li Hong and said still dissatisfied.
There's no way to chat now, right? If you always want to chat to death, there's nothing I can do about it.
"Has Crown Princess Xuan entered the palace?" Wu Mei finally caught the conversation and asked eagerly. Li Zhi, who was next to him, immediately raised his ears and waited intently for Li Hong's answer.
"It's announced. I'm afraid that Bai Chun and An Xiaohe are already waiting in your Penglai Palace at this moment." Li Hong said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good. Does it look like me?" Li Zhi was almost lying in Wu Mei's arms and asked Li Hong eagerly.
But when someone heard what his father Long said, his originally smiling face suddenly darkened: "Father, if you want to say that I look like you, I should look like a son. What does it mean to look like you!"
"You... what's wrong? Who told you that my grandson can't be like me? He has to be like his father?" Li Zhi stared at the prince, who had a dark face. He didn't understand why he suddenly turned dark. asked.
Wu Mei, however, ignored the argument between father and son and praised with a smile: "This Wanying's belly is really impressive. I don't know where you, Li Hong, got the luck to give you a twin boy and a girl. I, my lord, I'm away with your father. I haven't seen any movement in Wanying's belly in the past two years. I thought she didn't have the ability. I didn't want to give birth to a twin grandson in this life. This must be an amnesty for the world. Just celebrate.”
"Did you hear that? It's not because of you that you came back, but because of me and the queen's grandson. I and the queen came back. What if it was you? Huh, I'm not back yet." Li Zhi stood up from Wu Mei's arms and signaled to Wu Mei When the windows are closed, there is not much wind outside, but with the windows open in the winter, all the heat in the car escapes, making it cold.
With a "touch", Wu Mei obediently closed the window, leaving someone dumbfounded and far behind in the carriage. Even if the courtiers passing by him asked him questions, they didn't hear them. Staring blankly at the "heartless" carriage, he suddenly felt that after Pei Wanying gave birth to his child, this was not a good thing for him. He seemed to be starting to be left out!
In the Hanyuan Hall, the emperor and the queen, who had not returned to Chang'an for more than two years, would receive congratulations from the ministers here. At the same time, the prince, who had been in charge of the country for three years, was also skipped. Emperor Li Zhi directly announced to the people of the Tang Dynasty: Because of this, I am delighted to have my grandson, and I will grant a general amnesty to the whole world. All officials will stop going to court for a month to celebrate.
Tomorrow, I will offer sacrifices to heaven and worship my ancestors to tell heaven and congratulate my great Tang Dynasty!
