When I left, it was still ice and snow, and the vast distance was white. When I came back, it was already a scorching sun and shaded by green trees.
The millet seedlings stood with their heads held high, as straight as a guard in the imperial city. Suddenly a breeze blew, causing waves of grain to rise.
The wheat (winter wheat) has long been harvested, and the bean sprouts (cabbage) in some fields have grown to the size of a palm, and are green and extremely tender.
Most of the fields have just been burned with wheat stubble, and are as black as oil. As soon as another summer rain softens the fields, the old farmers will plow the fields and let them dry in the sun for half a year before planting in the spring.
A group of children stole green beans from nowhere, set a fire beside Gushui (Luoyang City Moat), and burned the pods until they were sizzling with juice. They were not yet ripe, so they made a ball of them. After a while, everyone turned to their little faces.
As mushy as a tabby cat.
The guards in the city just disappeared. When they heard the copper bells in the horses' necks, they saw a group of armored cavalry walking along the valley water towards the imperial city. Dozens of children scattered like birds and beasts. Many of them were even naked, like little birds.
Trembling and trembling.
Li Chengzhi was very happy when he saw it, it seemed to be particularly novel. But a group of guards were very puzzled: even the Li family, many children in the clan were like this, including Lang Jun, who also grew up like this.
Don't talk about stealing beans: Before he got sick, the husband must have been seven or eight years old. He coaxed Li Zhang and Li Xian, who were not many years older but already tall and powerful, to muffle the mastiff in the fort to death, and then threw it into the lake.
In the middle, he panicked and claimed that he had slipped and fell into the water and drowned.
A group of children were beaten by their parents before they even bothered to roast dog meat. The worst sufferer was of course brothers Li Zhang and Li Xian, who were hung on the door beam by Li Song and beaten for half a day...
From then on, they learned that many livestock are born with the ability to swim...
Looking so happy, I arrived at the Chengming Gate before I knew it. To the right of the entrance is Jinyong City.
Looking at the towering towers, Li Chengzhi couldn't help but think of all kinds of past events.
Last summer, he performed under Chengming's family, and his performance of "General's Order" astonished everyone, and even made Yuan Ke Long Yan happy.
It's a pity that the deceased has passed away...
Seeing that this group of soldiers were fully armored, the city gate commander came out early. When he saw Li Chengzhi, who was wearing a flat crown and two strands of silver hair hanging from his ears, Sima's eyes narrowed and he hurriedly saluted: "I have seen Mr. Li.
!"
"Polite!"
Li Chengzhi smiled slightly and called Li Rui to show him an order letter.
In just a moment, a group of people entered the Chengming Gate (the west gate of the inner city of Luoyang) in a hurry. The city gate Sima hurriedly called his subordinates and said in a hurry: "Hurry to the palace to report that Duke Li has returned to the capital!
”
The subordinate agreed, took the horse and flew up. But as soon as he passed through the door, he seemed to be stunned, and even forgot to urge the horse.
There were black clouds on the city wall, and countless soldiers were rushing in from the four cities, their armors shaking like thunder.
Not long after, the Chengming Gate was filled with soldiers, all of whom were staring at the city with gleaming eyes and excited expressions.
The city gate Sima almost thought that the palace had received the news in advance and learned that Li Chengzhi had entered the city, so he sent Yu Lin to the city gate to capture Li Chengzhi.
Just when I was in shock and doubt, I heard a loud "dong" sound, as if a huge wall had fallen down, and suddenly I saw nearly a thousand imperial guards kneeling down. It was like the ground was shaking, and the entire Jinyong City seemed to be shaking.<
/p>
The guard under the city gate felt his tailbone tremble, as if there was a surge of heat, and the hairs all over his body stood up...
Li Rui reminded in a low voice: "It should be Yuan Chen, who happens to be on duty in the city today...but the flag raised is the recruitment flag of Huben Langjiang (Huben Camping General, the fifth grade)..."
"Haha... Yuan Chen was promoted? He's lucky that he wasn't summoned to Beizhen to listen to Gao Zhao's orders..."
Li Chengzhi chuckled softly, but his nose felt a little sore, "Now that I'm on the receiving end of punishment, I won't let them get into trouble...Li Cong, bring the car..."
With a promise, Li Cong drove the carriage from behind. Li Chengzhi stepped onto the carriage and paused for a moment before entering. Although he did not look back, he waved his hand gently: "It's gone!"
Li Rui shouted: "It's gone!"
Yuan Jian did not call his commander, nor did he say he obeyed the order. He just punched his breastplate hard with his fist.
Thousands of people were doing the same action, and the momentum was so spectacular. It was like a thunderbolt on a clear day, resounding throughout the countryside, shaking the eardrums of the guards in the city.
The eyes of Li Rui and other guards suddenly turned red: Raising their fist armor is a unique military salute of the Li clan. Yuan Jian and thousands of tigers fought like this, the meaning is self-evident...
In the car, Li Chengzhi sighed softly: It can be seen that Yuan Ying and others are so eager to hold him accountable. They actually forced Yuan Chen, an old subordinate from the Guanzhong period, to take the risk of accountability to come to him.
This old Shangguan was so prestigious?
I'm interested...
……
After leaving the Taiji Hall, passing through the Shenhu Gate, passing the Arsenal Office, Chenghuang Office, Taipu Temple, etc., you will reach Yannianli.
A huge mansion, with red doors and yellow pavilions, whitewashed walls and carved beams, and a view of the building like clouds. The archway alone is three feet tall. Under the square are cypresses, cypresses, chrysanthemums, and pines, all competing for their beauty. There are bamboos and fragrant grasses beside the steps, and the fragrance is strong. There are two stone lions on each side of the gate, their bodies decorated with gold paint, and even the lions' eyes are inlaid with jade beads. On each side of the golden lions, there is a century-old acacia tree.
It's not very tall, but it's huge. The branches, leaves, vines and vines are more than ten feet wide, like two huge umbrella covers.
And in winter, when all the dead leaves have fallen, it looks like countless horned dragons clinging to them, baring their teeth and claws, which is very eye-catching.
These two ancient locust trees alone are a wonder in Beijing. Anyone who sees them for the first time will stop and admire them.
Li Chengzhi was naturally not such a coquettish person, and actually used colored jade inlays to make the lion's eyes. Is this Liu Teng's mansion? After Liu Teng's home was confiscated, he was rewarded by the Empress Dowager as his Anding County Palace.
Last year, there was a lot of traffic in front of the mansion, and people giving gifts could line up inside and outside. Today, it still looks like a busy city, but it is full of idlers enjoying the shade under the ancient locust trees.
There are not that many rules and regulations in the Li Mansion. Even though Li Chengzhi is now the Duke of the county, there is not much sign of strictness in the whole house.
At this moment, the steps were filled with servants of the Li family, all of whom looked solemn and solemn, like door gods. But the people under the tree still enjoyed the coolness when they should, and looked at the strangeness when they should.
Just the sight of Li Shixian, Li Chenghong, Li Chengxue and his son, who have more than twenty wives and concubines in red and green, inlaid with gold and jade, making the viewers marvel.
If anyone knows the Lis and his wife well, they will also say hello.
Guo Yuzhi naturally had a smile like a flower, and regardless of whether he was high or low, he would always respond with "courteous". However, Li Shixian had a straight face, with no trace of happiness on his face.
Filial piety comes first among all good deeds. In this world, is there any reason for a father to greet his son at the door?
Even if my son has a high official position, so what if he is the consort... This woman is too ignorant...
Even if he was dissatisfied, Li Shixian would only dare to curse in his heart, but would never dare to complain out loud.
Otherwise, Guo Yuzhi will definitely teach him what it means to convince others with virtue...
While cursing, Li Shixian couldn't help but think of the scene in Jingzhou City last spring: it was Li Chengzhi who returned victorious, and it was Guo Yuzhi who forced him to stand outside the door...
Forget it, just welcome him, who would make his father-in-law feel inferior to his son?
While waiting a little impatiently, he suddenly heard a horse galloping towards him. He thought it was his son who had arrived, and Li Shixian quickly straightened his expression.
After a few breaths, only one horse rushed to the door. The knight did not dismount, but sat on the horse and cupped his hands towards Li Shixian and Guo Yuzhi: "The Queen Mother issued a decree to summon Duke Li to the palace to have an audience!"
Guo Yuzhi's almond-shaped eyes widened, and a hint of chill appeared on her pretty face: Your son has not yet entered the house, changed his clothes, drank hot soup, and has not even met his parents. You are going to summon him to the palace? p>
