Chang'an Avenue is narrow and slanted, with green cows and white horses and seven-scented carriages. Jade chariots cross the main line, and golden whips come to the Hou's family.

The dragon carries the treasure bulb to carry the sun, the phoenix spits tassels and brings the sunset. The verdant city is surrounded by the jade road, and the green valley is far away and the golden embankment is gone.

The nights in Chang'an City are always so soft and gorgeous, with a ray of brightness in the mist and a magnificent in the green.

In Xingqing Palace, it was brightly lit at this time, and the long night was like day.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji and the Imperial Concubine Yang Yuhuan, sat on the imperial throne on the head, preparing to meet Gao Xianzhi, the governor of the four towns of Anxi. Since learning about Gao Xianzhi's victory in the river, Li Longji was so excited that he couldn't help himself and did not sleep well for several days. This is the greatest victory that the Anxi Tang army has achieved in the Hezhong area since Emperor Gaozong's reign. Not only did it capture the former land of the Tang Dynasty from the great cannibals again, but it also captured the enemy leader who opposed the Tang Dynasty to Chang'an alive, which really made the country's prestige!

Gao Xianzhi really had a trick. He completed the task that Meng Lingcha had not completed for several years in just three years, which really made his hard work.

Li Longji nodded to the eunuch with satisfaction and signaled him to announce the order to summon Gao Xianzhi to meet.

The eunuch was very understanding. After bowing to Li Longji, he waved his hand and chanted: "The four towns of Anxi are the governors, and the minister of the Hongluo, and the chief clerk of the censor Gao Xianzhi. He captured the Tuqin Shi Khan alive, and the King of Shi Teller and Ke Dun and Jie Shuai (Trial) came to offer him to come to the Imperial Qinzheng Building to meet him!" (Note 1)

The sharp voice of the eunuch echoed in the Qinzhengwu building, attracting sighs from countless court officials. Gao Xianzhi is not old and has a deep background, but she has sat at such a height in just a few years. It is really amazing. Now he has made great contributions in the river, so what else can he reward besides the king?

Gao Xianzhi ignored the feelings of the ministers in the imperial building, stepped into the attic, and knelt in front of Li Longji and said, "My aunt Gao Xianzhi knelt down and asked Your Majesty for peace, long live my emperor!"

"Gao Aiqing, please calm down!" Li Longji stepped forward a few steps forward and helped Gao Xianzhi up and smiled, "Gao Aiqing has made great contributions to me this time. I want to reward you well!"

Gao Xianzhi was overjoyed, but he made a modest attitude on his face: "This is all because Hu Er was shocked by the reputation of Tian Khan. After seeing our Tianjun in Tang Dynasty, he lost the desire to fight. The ministers really dared not take credit!"

"Oh!" Li Longji waved his hand and said, "I am not a foolish monarch, how could I compete with my ministers for credit? My Tang soldiers sacrificed their lives to fight the enemy at the border. If I still can't make clear rewards and punishments, wouldn't it be disappointing? Don't worry, I will give you no less!"

After saying that, Li Longji waved his hand to the eunuch and signaled him to read the enfeoffment.

The eunuch owed his body and whispered to Gao Xianzhi: "Gao Xianzhi, the governor of the four towns of Anxi, received the order!"

"My decree Gao Xianzhi received the order!" Gao Xianzhi was overjoyed and immediately fell to the ground. The king's lord who had been waiting for a long time was finally getting it, and he couldn't help but feel proud.

"Gao Xianzhi, the governor of the four towns of Anxi, was brave and brave, and had extraordinary strategies. At the end of the ninth year of Tianbao, he defeated the Hu Hu in the River, captured his chief, and promoted the power of our Tang Dynasty. I was very pleased. I specially added Xianzhi's official rituals to the three departments of the founding of the Imperial Palace, and took charge of the Censorate. I still had the first son and fifth rank official. I also reaped the merits."

The eunuch had already read the imperial edict and took a breath. Before he could see Gao Xianzhi accept the imperial edict, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"General Gao, haven't you accepted the order yet?"

When the eunuch reminded him, Gao Xianzhi realized that something was wrong. However, on this occasion, he could not show any dissatisfaction. Of course, he could not ask why the king had not joined the edict. He had to bow to his head with hatred and said, "I thank Your Majesty Your Majesty for your kindness, and I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"

He said this almost gritted his teeth, but Li Longji did not hear the resentment. He thought Gao Xianzhi was moved, so he waved his hand and said, "Flat!"

Although his wish failed, Gao Xianzhi had to ask for official titles for his subordinates. Most of these official titles were small officials under the fourth rank, so there were no variables. Before coming, Gao Xianzhi had already filled in the lawsuit he asked for from the Ministry of War according to his merits. This time he came to Beijing to make a move.

As usual, the eunuch read the memorial presented by Gao Xianzhi and followed the list. After singing, a stick of incense was over. The civil and military officials standing on both sides were naturally drowsy.

After finally overcoming the reward link, Gao Xianzhi could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Next is a banquet to reward soldiers. His Majesty the Emperor ordered that the actors and dancers would come to the palace to perform their skills and compete for beauty.

But at this moment, Gao Xianzhi felt that the usual refreshing silk and bamboo orchestra were particularly chaotic, and the pretty woman who was usually fascinating was also lost, as weak as a beard cake.

Looking at the nobles in the palace and the beautiful and graceful, Gao Xianzhi felt particularly disgusting. In the songs of the three thousand worlds, the twelve capitals are in the beautiful scenery! They sacrificed their lives to fight the enemy on the front line. These kings, fathers and ministers were afraid that they would drink wine and play with actors in Chang'an City?

It’s a pity that he is still the king of a country and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but he can’t even bear his promise. Is it that difficult for a king to be so famous? Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, those with different surnames cannot be granted a king, but that was before! Aren’t An Lushan and Geshuhan also generals of the different surnames? Why can they be granted a king, but they cannot be granted a king? Where are they inferior to them? Why did a false position of founding the Mansion and the Three Sessions dismissed him!

But he couldn't say these words, just because the decision was made by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and his father!

How ridiculous, how ridiculous!

Gao Xianzhi felt that the depression in his heart was hard to relieve, so he grabbed a wine glass and poured it into his mouth.

He was even more worried when he drank alcohol to drown his sorrows. Unexpectedly, he rushed to Chang'an City to offer prisoners and waited for such a ridiculous result.

"General Gao, come and drink this cup with Gu Man!" Prince Li Heng, who was sitting in the head, obviously saw Gao Xianzhi's depressed mood, and was looking at him with a smile.

Gao Xianzhi felt cold in his heart and was immediately full of vigilance. Did he know all these things? Looking back at the expression and various scenes of the prince outside Mingde Gate greeting him, Gao Xianzhi seemed to suddenly understand something.

So that's it, so that's it!

He was already aware of it at this time and a bitter smile in his heart.

"In this way, I will accompany Your Highness to this cup!"
