Xingqing Palace Calyx Xianghui Building.

Gao Lishi came to the imperial couch, crossed his hands and said, "Sage, it's time to get up."

Where to start driving? Naturally, he went to Chengtian Gate. Feng Changqing escorted Tubo Zanpuchi Daizhudan and other more than a thousand prisoners of war to the outside of Chang'an City, and would soon enter the city from Mingde Gate. As the protagonist of the prisoner presentation ceremony, as the protagonist of the ceremony, The supreme saint, Li Longji, must of course appear at Chengtianmen and accept the prisoners of war from the Anxi army.

After the prisoner presentation ceremony, the punishment for the prisoners of war such as Shakudai Judan must be announced in accordance with public opinion.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, prisoner presentation ceremonies have often been held, but such heavyweight prisoners of war as Chidaizhudan were only presented twice in one day. The last time such heavyweight prisoners of war were presented was more than 120 years ago. , that is the Eastern Turk Jieli Khan captured by Wei Guogong Li Jing from Mobei.

Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty finally spared Jieli Khan's life and named him General Youwei.

As a saint of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, of course, had to attend such a grand event in person.

But Yang Taizhen, who was Li Longji's pillow, could see that Li Longji was hesitant.

At that moment, Yang Taizhen said to Gao Lishi: "Gao Aweng, the saint caught a cold last night and seems to be a little unwell. Why don't we let the prince go to Chengtianmen to accept the sacrifice on behalf of the saint?"

Gao Lishi was stunned when he heard this and asked the prince to accept the sacrifice on his behalf?

Is the saint really willing to give up such a grand event to the prince?

This is somewhat inconsistent with the saint's usual style.

Besides, the saint always only used the prince as a chess piece. He used it to check and balance the right prime minister Li Linfu. After Li Linfu's death, the prince became a chess piece to check and balance the current right prime minister Yang Guozhong. It was for the sake of check and balance that he went to Luoche to read out the imperial edict. The mission fell on Li Fuguo, who was born in the East Palace, but he never thought that he would anger Master Lu Tianshi and lead to his death.

Thinking of this, Gao Lishi suddenly understood. Was the saint worried that Master Lu would embarrass him during the prisoner presentation ceremony?

Gao Lishi knew it well, and Li Longji also knew it very well. There is no doubt that Lu Tianshi loves the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, he would not have helped the Anxi army to destroy Tubo. However, Lu Tianshi really did not take the authority of the Tang saints seriously. Here, first he killed Bian Lingcheng after the victory at Selubao, and this time he killed Li Fuguo after annihilating Tubo.

Bian Lingcheng and Li Fuguo, one was the eunuch sent by the saint to oversee the army in Anxi, and the other was the imperial angel sent by the saint to Luoche to read out the imperial decree. However, they were both killed by Lu Tianshi. How much did Lu Tianshi despise the saint? He really didn't take the authority of the Sage of the Tang Dynasty into account, and frequently killed the Sage's close followers.

Therefore, the saint must be worried that when Chengtianmen sacrifices prisoners, will Tianshi Lu embarrass him again?

At that time, if not one million, Chang'an people gathered in Tianjie to watch the ceremony, there were at least 500,000. If Master Lu was teaching him a lesson in front of 500,000 Chang'an people, where would the majesty of the saint be?

Gao Lishi asked in a low voice: "Sage, then let the prince go to Chengtianmen?"

Gao Lishi was actually happy to see Prince Li Heng go to Chengtianmen to accept the sacrifice on behalf of the saint.

The reason is very simple. The saint is really old, and his physical strength and energy are no longer what he was when he was young. Not only is he much slacker in handling government affairs, but he is also not as wise as when he was young, and he often makes mistakes.

Prince Li Heng was not only young and powerful, but also rare in both civil and military affairs.

For this reason, Gao Lishi was happy to see Prince Li Heng manage the government on behalf of the saint.

Gao Lishi felt that the saint should have handed over the government affairs to the prince Li Heng a long time ago. He took Yang Taizhen to live in the Xingqing Palace for the rest of his life. If he got tired of living in the Xingqing Palace, he would go to Lishan Hot Spring Palace or Dongguan Palace. Go to Luoyang to relax, so that you will not be fettered by government affairs, and you will no longer have to be wary of the prince.

Moreover, the prince was pure and filial and would never treat the saint harshly.

It's a pity that the saint is used to a life of monopolizing power and refuses to delegate power.

But today was undoubtedly a good opportunity, so Gao Lishi tried to persuade him a little.

However, Gao Lishi's kind persuasion only attracted a cold glance from Li Longji.

Obviously, Li Longji had seen Gao Lishi's intention, but he did not continue.

Li Longji directly changed the subject: "You dog slave, since you are so good at figuring out people's hearts, today you will try to figure out with me what Master Lu meant by killing my imperial envoy twice."

"Master Lu Tian is an immortal in the heaven. I dare not make any assumptions." Gao Lishi bowed.

Gao Lishi could actually figure out Master Lu Tianshi's intention, but he couldn't say it and didn't dare to say it.

"Are you afraid to speculate, or are you guessing and afraid to say anything?" Li Longji said angrily, "Tell the truth!"

"Here." Gao Lishi folded his hands and said helplessly, "What Lu Tianshi is fighting for is nothing more than the right to speak."

"Hmph, what's the use of a heavenly being who wants to have power?" Li Longji realized what he was thinking and became angrier, "Is it possible that he still wants to sit in court on my behalf?"

Li Longji's mood is really complicated at the moment.

On the one hand, he eagerly wanted to see Master Lu Tian and ask for advice on how to cultivate immortality and live forever.

But on the other hand, Li Fuguo's murder made him unconsciously vigilant. What did Lu Tianshi want? Is it simply to help Datang, or does it have other purposes?

"That descendant of Master Lu Tianshi, Lu Wen, also came to Chang'an this time?" Li Longji asked with a frown.

"Yes, we also came to Chang'an." Gao Lishi answered respectfully with his hands crossed, "However, Lu Wen's current title is only a small guerrilla general from the lower fifth level."

"From the fifth rank?" Li Longji said, "If Lu Tianshi mentioned that Lu Wen had special honors in the Tang Dynasty during the prisoner presentation ceremony, and asked me to make Lu Wen a hussar general or even a county king, do you think I would agree or not? Not allowed?"

Gao Lishi crossed his hands and said, "Sage, Master Lu Tianshi will not make such excessive demands."

"Excessive demands?" Li Longji said quietly, "I am a heavenly master, an immortal from the lower world. No matter what kind of request you make, it is not too much. I can only obediently agree to it."

Speaking of this, Li Longji made up his mind instead.

It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. This Lu Tianshi will have to face it eventually. Since he can't avoid it, why not meet him earlier and see what he wants?

At that moment, Li Longji said loudly: "Change my clothes."

Yang Taizhen quickly stepped forward to change Li Longji's clothes.



Li Bai, Du Fu, Cui Hao, Xue Ju and other ten people came to the Mingde Gate city gate together.

The literary style of the Tang Dynasty was extremely prosperous, so the status of poets among the people was also very high.

Of course, the status of the people is the status of the people, and the officialdom is another matter. In fact, these great poets are more frustrated than the other in the officialdom. Either they should be given a small official like a county captain, or they should not be a small official, like It was a great favor for Li Bai to give a leisurely Hanlin to wait for an imperial edict, but Li Bai had already resigned.

Seeing that it was Li Bai and other poets who arrived, the people who originally occupied the city immediately gave up their good positions.

Li Bai, Du Fu, Cui Hao and others were not polite and took good seats carelessly.

Standing at the top of Mingde Gate and looking south, you can see Zhuque Street extending to the foot of Nanshan Mountain.

By the way, Zhuque Street does not end at Mingdemen. There is an extension of Zhuque Street beyond Mingdemen, and it is also called Zhuque Street. It is also ten feet wide.

"Come on, come on, Fengjieshuai and the others are coming!"

"Wrong, now he is no longer the Commander-in-Chief, but the Chief Manager."

"Those who are granted the title of king should be honored by the title of king and should be called the Prince of Anxi County."

"I'm not interested in Prince Anxi. I just want to see the bird Zampu in Tubo."

"That's right, are everyone's eggs ready? I'm going to greet this bird Zampu later. I have to smash his head full of rubbish. Damn the old Tibetan dog, he killed so many good men in our Tang Dynasty. "

Seeing the Anxi army coming, the people on top of the city and below the city suddenly became commotion.

Li Bai, Du Fu and others also stretched their necks and looked eagerly towards the south.

Du Fu looked around and asked Li Bai next to him: "Brother Taibai, what do you think Master Lu Tian looks like?"

Li Bai shook his head and said: "You have to ask Xianzhou about this. Xianzhou should have seen Master Lu Tianshi, but I have not seen him."

"Cen Shen?" Cui Hao next to him shook his head and said, "He is now the ambassador of the Luoche Army. He will also attend the grand banquet at Huaxianhui Tower tonight, and he will never be with us again."
