Due to insufficient preparations, lack of time and sudden changes, Wei Zhongxian did not complete the work of sealing the eunuchs, palace maids and Yulin guards.
In other words, he only completed the former but not the latter.
Therefore, even if you think about it with your buttocks, Lu Bu must have known about the good deeds he has done, and he will definitely not let it go today.
Although the old eunuch was a little worried, he was not too worried.
After all, in front of His Majesty, no matter how crazy Lu Bu is, he would not dare to be too presumptuous...
Wei Zhongxian's guess was indeed correct.
After the ceremony guard left the palace, Lu Bu was already waiting outside.
Faced with this man's cannibalistic look, the old eunuch chose to ignore it. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the majestic palace in the distance, as if admiring the beautiful scenery in the early morning.
The morning sun was a bit cold, but it still slowly dissipated the chill accumulated last night, warming the red-walled and yellow-tiled palaces, which were well-proportioned and slowly warming up.
This scenery is so damn beautiful...
Seeing the old eunuch pretending to be dead and not looking at him, Lu Bu gritted his teeth angrily, but he had no choice but to quickly lead the Yulin guards around the sedan.
"Father, please see your foster father."
Lu Bu looked at the large sedan with curious eyes, and then lowered his head.
"Well, let's go, Fengxian." Li Qian's voice came from the sedan.
With all the ceremonial guards and ceremonials in place, the driver continued on his way to Ziwei Palace.
…
In the capital, there were also two carriages, one behind the other, rushing towards the imperial city.
Sitting in one were naturally Gao Shilian, Changsun Wuji, and Gao Shi.
On another bright yellow carriage, crowded with soldiers and extremely luxurious, were Li Yuan and Li Shimin.
"It's best if you can figure it out."
Li Yuan was dressed in a jade-yellow lake silk brocade robe with dark patterns, which could not hide his majestic figure. There was a bit of relief in his eyes as he looked at his son in front of him: "Erlang, everyone has their moments of decadence. Those who have been trapped by decadence
It is difficult to become a great person. You are talented and smart, and my father does not want you to be trapped by emotional matters."
"Father, my son has given up."
Li Shimin was wearing a dark brocade robe with a jade belt around his waist. He looked very capable. He raised his head and showed a bright smile, but there was still a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.
His ability could not be concealed from the cunning Li Yuan, but Li Yuan did not pay attention. He just turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the carriage through the window curtains.
Who among those who can achieve great things doesn't have some obsession in their heart?
What is important is to use this obsession as motivation to urge people to keep moving forward...
The cold morning light has turned warm, and the streets have already become lively. Pedestrians are coming and going, and diners at the breakfast stalls are eating and drinking in twos and threes. With smiles on their faces, they leave their seats to start a new day.
The guard soldiers were brightly dressed, riding on tall horses, and accompanied the carriage towards the imperial city.
Horse hooves clattered and wheels rolled as they passed through the bluestone streets, kicking up fine smoke and dust. Pedestrians on the roadside looked at their backs with emotion, then lowered their heads and returned to their own lives in the smoke and dust.
Li Yuan's carriage arrived at Hanguang Gate in the south of the imperial city. The Yulin guards guarding the city gate had already recognized Duke Tang's carriage and hurried back to inform their superiors.
After a while, a general wearing dark red armor hurriedly ran out.
"The last general, Wang Changxi, has met the Duke of the country."
"Chang Xie, why are you so polite? Get up quickly." Li Yuan smiled and lifted him up.
"My lord, most of the Second Young Master's affairs have been settled. All that's left are the documents from the subordinates and the Ministry of War. This requires you to go and make a trip in person." Wang Changxi smiled and reported the matter to him.
.
"Well, thanks to Chang Xie this time."
Li Yuan led everyone through the wide left door of Hanguang Gate, to the vast white marble square, and continued walking into the palace: "Yesterday I got two jars of Zhang's Huajian Brewing from Liquanfang.
Xie must go to my house to taste it."
"How dare you ask for credit when you work for the Duke?"
Wang Chang laughed happily: "However, this flower brewing has really aroused the greed of the general. I hope that the Duke of the country will not bother me tonight."
"Ha ha."
Li Yuan smiled heartily, but then turned to Li Shimin aside: "Erlang, General Wang will be your boss from now on, why don't you come over to see me?"
"Hey, what's the point of not having a superior? If the second young master can enter the Huben Guards for training, then the junior general will have a bright face..."
Wang Changxie was still polite, but Li Yuan didn't hear Li Shimin's reply for a long time. He frowned and looked back, only to find that Li Shimin was looking blankly to the side and walking forward mechanically.
Li Yuan became dissatisfied and emphasized his tone: "Erlang?"
Li Shimin suddenly came back to his senses, felt his father's stern gaze, and lowered his head: "Father, my son is distracted."
Li Yuan did not rush to reprimand him, but raised his head with his hands behind his hands and looked into the distance following Li Shimin's gaze.
I saw two men and one woman walking towards the palace under the guidance of the eunuch.
Seeing this, Wang Changxie hurriedly explained to him: "My lord, this is Gao Shilian, a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment. He just submitted a post asking to see your majesty, and your majesty has approved it."
Li Qian squinted his eyes and nodded, then glanced at Li Shimin again, and then he understood why his son was so gloomy.
Yes, those traveling with them at this time were Gao Shilian and his entourage who entered the palace.
The Sixth Department was originally in the imperial city, so Gao Shilian, the doctor of the Criminal Department, was quite familiar with the job. He wore a green silk round collar, an official robe with white stilts, a double-winged black gauze hat on his head, and soap powder-based shoes at his feet.
Wearing official boots and dressed quite formally, he followed the eunuch solemnly.
Although Mrs. Gao was also curious about the style of the palace, she walked forward steadily.
Only Changsun Wuji, a young man, was dressed in white and had a handsome figure. Although his face was respectful and honest, his eyes were secretly looking at everything in the imperial city, and he felt that there was a sense of novelty everywhere.
As he looked at it, he was suddenly startled and looked to the side: "Uncle, aren't those the Erlang of the Li family and Duke Tang?"
Gao Shilian also turned his head and followed his gaze. Don't tell me, it's true.
"Tang Guogong and others are coming."
Li Yuan was walking towards this side with the two people behind him.
When the young eunuch in green who led the way saw that the person coming was the Duke of Tang, he did not dare to neglect him and hurried forward to salute: "Greetings to the Duke of Tang."
Li Yuan just nodded, passed him, and continued walking.
There were many guards in the distance, and the two sides met in the vast white marble square.
Gao Shilian and the others did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly went up to greet him: "Gao Shilian, a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment, has met the Duke of the country."
Li Yuan smiled softly, took Gao Shilian's arm and helped him up: "Please get up. There is no need to be polite to the doctor Gao. I have admired the doctor's name for a long time."
Gao Shilian also had a smile on his face. Although the two had never interacted before, he had always had a good impression of Li Yuan.
Actually it's not just him.
If all the civil servants were asked to vote, and one of Zhao Kuangyin, Yang Jian, and Li Yuan should be fried, and then one should be steamed, then only the remaining people would survive.
At the end of the voting, the one who was fried was probably Yang Jian, the one who was steamed was probably Zhao Kuangyin, and the one who survived must be Li Yuan.
Not because of anything else, but because Li Yuan's performance over the years has been so impeccable.
