Chi Tang 7_Free reading of the full text of Chi Tang_Chapter 7 Golden Que (1) The first update comes from
Chang'an Avenue is narrow and sloping, with green oxen and white horses and seven fragrant carriages. Jade chariots cross the main hall, and golden whips come one after another to the Hou family.
The dragon holds a treasure in its head to catch the morning sun, and the phoenix spits out tassels and carries the sunset glow. The Zhu city is faintly adjacent to the jade road, and the green embankment disappears in the distance.
The nights in Chang'an City are always so soft and beautiful, with a ray of brightness in the mist and a hint of magnificence in the greenness.
In Xingqing Palace, the lights were brightly lit at this time, and the long night seemed like day.
His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty Li Longji and his concubine Yang Yuhuan were sitting on the throne together, preparing to receive Gao Xianzhi, the envoy of the Four Towns of Anxi. Ever since he learned the good news of Gao Xianzhi's victory in the river, Li Longji could not help himself with excitement.
I didn't get a good night's sleep for several days. This was the greatest victory the Tang Army in Anxi had achieved in the Hezhong area since the Emperor Gaozong. Not only did they regain the homeland of the Tang Dynasty from the cannibals, but they also captured the enemy chieftains who opposed the Tang Dynasty alive in Chang'an. It was really terrible.
Show off your national prestige!
This Gao Xianzhi is really talented. He actually completed the task that Fu Meng Lingcha had not completed for several years in just three years. He really lived up to his hard work.
Li Longji nodded to his chamberlain with satisfaction and signaled him to summon Gao Xianzhi to appear in court.
The chamberlain understood this clearly, and after bowing to Li Longji, he waved his hand and chanted in the dust: "In the Jiedu of the Four Towns of Anxi, a special advance officer and a member of the Honglu family, and an external member of the same rank, photographed the imperial censor, Gao Xianzhi, and captured the sudden cavalry alive.
Shi Khan removed it, and Shi Wang Tele, Ke Dun and Jieshuai (Zhenshi) came to present it and announced that they would come to the Imperial Qinzheng Tower to pay their respects!" (Note 1)
The shrill voice of the chamberlain echoed in the main building of the Qin Government Affairs Building, attracting countless sighing comments from the court officials. Gao Xianzhi is not too old, and his background is not profound, but he has reached such a high level in just a few years. He really has to
It's amazing. Now that he has made great achievements in Hezhong, what else can be rewarded besides the king?
However, Gao Xianzhi ignored the sighs of the ministers in the imperial building, took square steps up to the attic, knelt down in front of Li Longji and said: "My minister, Gao Xianzhi, kneels down to wish your majesty peace, long live my emperor!"
"Gao Aiqing, please get back on your feet!" Li Longji stepped forward to help Gao Xianzhi up and said with a smile, "Gao Aiqing has made great contributions to me this time, I will reward you well!"
Gao Xianzhi was overjoyed in his heart, but he made a modest gesture on his face: "This is all because Hu'er was shocked by the reputation of Khan. He lost the will to fight after seeing my Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty. I really don't dare to
Take credit!"
"Alas!" Li Longji waved his hand and said: "I am not a foolish king, so why would I compete with my subordinates for credit? I, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, risked their lives to resist the enemy at the border. Wouldn't it be chilling if I could not clearly distinguish rewards and punishments?
Don’t worry, I will give you whatever you deserve!”
After saying that, Li Longji waved his hand to the eunuch again, gesturing for him to read out the sealing edict.
The chamberlain bowed and screamed at Gao Xianzhi: "Gao Xianzhi, the governor of the Fourth Town of Anxi, accepted the order!"
"Your Majesty Gao Xianzhi accepts the order!" Gao Xianzhi was overjoyed and immediately knelt down on the ground. He was finally getting the prince he had been waiting for for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel a little satisfied.
"Gao Xianzhi, the governor of the four towns of Anxi, was brave and brave, and had extraordinary strategies. At the end of Tianbao's ninth year, he defeated all the barbarians in the river, captured their chiefs, and promoted the prestige of our Tang Dynasty. I am very pleased, and I specially add Xianzhi to open the government of Yitong with the three divisions.
, I photographed the imperial censor, and I still have one son, a fifth-rank official, and the rest are the same as before, and I will reward him for his merits."
The chamberlain had already finished reading out the imperial edict and took a breath. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when Gao Xianzhi hadn't received the edict yet.
"General Gao, you still don't accept the order?"
Only when the eunuch reminded him did Gao Xianzhi realize that there was a problem. But on this occasion, he could not show any dissatisfaction. Of course, he could not ask why the promised prince did not join the edict, so he could only kowtow in anger: "
Your Majesty, Gao Xianzhi, thanks you for your kindness and is willing to serve your Majesty to the best of your ability!"
He almost said this through gritted teeth, but Li Longji did not hear the resentment in it, thinking that Gao Xianzhi was moved, so he just waved his hand and said: "Pingsheng!"
Although his wish failed, Gao Xianzhi had to ask for titles for his subordinates. Most of these titles were minor officials below the fourth rank, so there were no variables. Before coming, Gao Xianzhi had already filled in the boxes he requested from the Ministry of War according to each person's merits.
He told me that his visit to Beijing was just a formality.
As usual, the chamberlain read the list of names according to the memorial presented by Gao Xianzhi. After chanting for a long time, the civil and military officials standing on both sides became drowsy.
After finally getting through the reward phase, Gao Xianzhi could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Next came the banquet to reward the sergeants. Under His Majesty's Majesty the Emperor's command, a number of dancers and dancers came to the palace to perform and compete for beauty.
However, at this time, Gao Xianzhi felt that the usually refreshing silk and bamboo orchestra was particularly disturbing, and the usually charming pretty woman had lost her charm and was as shriveled as a biscuit.
Gao Xianzhi felt extremely disgusted when he saw the harmonious and beautiful group of His Highness. Among the three thousand worlds of music and songs, the twelve capital cities were in splendor! They were risking their lives on the front line to resist the enemy. These kings, fathers and courtiers were afraid that they were just drinking wine in Chang'an City.
Are you playing an actor?
Fortunately, he is still the king of a country, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but he can't even believe his own promises. Is it so difficult to become a king? Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, people with different surnames cannot be crowned kings, but that was before! An Lu
Aren't Shan and Ge Shuhan also generals with different surnames? Why can they be crowned kings, but they can't be crowned kings themselves? In what ways are I inferior to them? Why should he be dismissed from the empty post of Kaifu Yitong Sansi!
But he couldn't say these words, just because the one who made that decision was the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, his father!
How ridiculous, how ridiculous!
Gao Xianzhi felt that the depression in her heart was not going away, so she grabbed a wine glass and poured it into her mouth.
He drank to drown his sorrows, but he never expected that he would come all the way to Chang'an City to present prisoners, only to expect such a ridiculous result.
"General Gao, come and drink this cup with Gu Man!" Prince Li Heng, who was sitting at the top, obviously saw Gao Xianzhi's gloomy mood and looked at him with a half-smile.
Gao Xianzhi felt a chill in his heart and was immediately full of vigilance. Did he know all these things? Recalling the prince's expression and various fragments when he greeted him outside Mingde Gate, Gao Xianzhi seemed to suddenly understand something.
So that’s it, so that’s it!
He understood now and felt a wry smile in his heart.
"In this case, I will drink this cup with His Highness!"
Note 1: The Anthology of Xuanzong in "New Book of Tang" records that "Gao Xianzhi, the governor of the four towns of Anxi, held the Tuqi Shi Khan and King Shi to present it at the main building of Qinzhengwu."
ps: Guess why Gao Xianzhi’s Wang Jue is gone, and who is doing the layout and design?
