Li Gong sent eunuchs from the palace to Dingbei Gongfu in Chang'an City overnight.
After listening to the eunuch's oral instructions, Li Sizhe wrote two names on the paper.
"Wu An, Lin Zheng."
These two people were both former generals under Li Sizhe and now serve in the third pass of Langyan Mountain.
The last person, Li Sizhe suddenly thought of one person, that is, the person who made him think of a decisive battle.
"The Holy Spirit's oral instructions are given to Bosu Ce of Jingyang County, and the East Palace listens to them." A black-faced eunuch wearing a purple robe solemnly conveyed Zhao Yumin's oral instructions.
A third-grade purple robe, such a person, even if he is disabled, is much higher than Su Ce, a county uncle. Su Ce does not dare to offend such a person.
"Eunuch, it's already noon, why don't we have some light meals." Although he didn't dare to offend, Su Ce couldn't do such a thing if he asked Su Ce to fawn over him. When it was lunch time in Suzhuang, Su Ce still had a good attitude towards hospitality.
understandable.
"Oh? The rules here for lunch are different from other places! You don't have to be polite, uncle of Jingyang County. I will do a good job this time, and it will be your benefit." The purple-robed father-in-law felt that it was novel, and he left the palace without being in a hurry to go back.
"I don't know my father-in-law's name yet. The village produces Baiguo Brewing. My father-in-law brought some with him when he went back. It was a hard work for me all the way from Nanshan to here." Su Ce smiled and spoke while motioning to Li Chang, who took out a brocade wine.
The bag contains twenty taels of gold.
The black-faced eunuch borrowed the brocade bag handed over by Li Chang with both hands, shook it, and threw it to Li Chang. He cursed a little angrily: "Boy Su, if you don't know how to flatter others, don't do it. I know what you are doing on the battlefield."
Who dares to be disrespectful to the title that was earned through hard-fought battles? My name is Chang Bin. I also fought hard in the field back then and got a little injured. The saint saw that X was pitiful and let X into the palace. X is not one of those dirty people.
"
Chang Bin spoke with a normal expression. When he said this, Su Ce immediately realized that as a man, after suffering that kind of injury, he did not become sinister, but instead was upright. Such a person has a firm mind and is trustworthy!
Don't do things like giving gifts. For such people, such behavior is a kind of humiliation.
The fake smile on Su Ce's face disappeared. The things he encountered when he first came to Chang'an City and the things that had been dormant for more than a year came to mind, and his eyes became red.
From the beginning to the end, Su Ce was just a common man. He was wronged and had no choice but to throw a tantrum and lose his face in Chang'an City. Now that he suddenly heard such words, he felt really sad.
Su Ce saluted Chang Bin.
"Mr. Chang, you have learned a lesson!"
"Don't be childish."
"Mr. Chang, follow me!"
Su Ce led the purple-robed father-in-law out of Su Mansion and walked to the cafeteria. At this time, the cafeterias who had just lined up from the school grounds to the cafeteria shouted the military bugle at the door of the cafeteria and walked into the cafeteria one by one.
.
Su Ce saw the purple-robed father-in-law stop and looked at the scene at the entrance of the cafeteria with great interest, looking at the purple-robed father-in-law's confused eyes.
Su Ce quickly explained: "Father-in-law, these are all children from the village. The ones wearing leather armor are my one hundred food and clothing, and the ones wearing cloth are the children of the village. They followed my bodyguards to polish their bodies in the school grounds in the morning.
By the way, I will learn some military rules and go to a private school in the afternoon to follow the instructions and read some books."
Chang Bin nodded. He could see the whole situation at a glance, and he could see the whole situation from a corner. It seemed that the young man's spirit had not been dispelled yet.
Entering the cafeteria, Su Ce took Chang Bin and sat at his usual table. Li Chang and Chang Bin's attendants sat elsewhere. There was nothing special about it, just like other tables in the cafeteria.
"There are so many people in the village that it's not easy to eat enough. The food is vulgar. Mr. Chang, don't dislike it!" Today the village made cold noodles at noon. The white noodles that have been cooled in water are topped with boiled amaranth. A large spoonful of them.
Spread the meat sauce on top.
"Vulgar? This is the first time I have seen such food. Tell me." During this period, Emperor Zhao Yumin's appetite was not very good, firstly because of the heat, and secondly because there were too many worries in the court. Chang Bin, as the guard of the palace
He does not have the ability to take care of the father-in-law and share the worries of the saint, but it is always not good for the saint to eat too little.
Su Ce motioned Chang Bin to follow his example, stirred the noodles, peeled several cloves of garlic, and chatted with Chang Bin about how to make cold noodles while eating.
After eating the noodles and drinking a bowl of original noodle soup, Chang Bin planned to leave.
Su Ce sent Chang Bin to the outside of the village. After getting on the horse, Chang Bin did not leave in a hurry. He sat on the horse and waved Su Ce to come closer, and at the same time asked his men to keep distance.
"Su Ce, I enjoyed today's meal. You might as well say a few more words. Half of the nobles and nobles are old and this is an opportunity for you, but these people, like you, have fought for Da Gan and shed blood, so they can be regarded as
You Zepao, don't do things recklessly.
The sage said that infighting among nobles should be restrained. Last time, because of your affairs, a prince lost his title.
Remember, you can fight between nobles and nobles, but you can't leave it to the public. Dingbeigong will help you settle the matter. In the future, you must have methods and don't think about killing with one blow. This is the city of Chang'an, not a borderland. You cannot fight to the death. Do you understand?
?”
Su Ce nodded and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Chang. I understand, I heard that Dingbei Gong has good wine, and Su Village happens to produce wine, so I have to let the commander taste it."
Chang Bin chuckled and said: "After all, he is the one who has made great contributions on the battlefield. He is smart and can tell the truth. Baiguo Ning, five restaurants, one is from the top, and the remaining four are the business of several princes.
The compensation I will give you is to visit the village more often, stay in the village all day long, and have no information, and have more contact with other nobles and gain more insights."
After saying that, Chang Bin left on horseback. Su Ce waited until the back disappeared from his sight and his face darkened.
Today, this Eunuch Chang not only came to remind me out of good intentions, but his last words were also a warning.
As a noble, you cannot break away from this identity, so you can only abide by the rules. The nobles of Chang'an City will not exclude anyone, because everyone belongs to this group, and they can compete internally, but they must compete externally.
Solidarity.
Just like a military formation, some people perform meritorious service and some people sacrifice their lives, but the ultimate goal is only victory.
In any case, what happened before came to an end after Chang Bin came forward. The old nobles accepted the new nobles to join, but the rules of the nobles also need to be followed.
Back in the village, Su Ce began to organize his weapons and equipment. Since coming to Chang'an, Su Ce has not worn armor for a long time.
The black armor plates still bear the marks of arrows left during the decisive battle of the Northern Expedition, and the dust on this armor cannot conceal the memories of the former warriors.
Taking out the basin and adding soap powder, Su Ce carefully cleaned the dust on the armor. The grease protecting the armor was dry and cracked. It took Su Ce an entire afternoon to clean the armor.
Thinking about the days in Fengsui Fort, where the armor and weapons were getting cleaner day by day, Su Ce laughed at himself. The comfortable life seemed to have worn away the self that once dared to fight to the death in Fengsui Fort.
Putting on the armor alone, Su Ce closed his eyes. The cold and thick touch of the armor seemed to take him back to the grassland again.
