This was the first peaceful night Li Yuan spent in this era.
After the house changed owners, Li Yuan was unceremonious, and then summoned Zhou'er and the small officials accompanying him in the palace, and followed the three brothers to roughly tidy up the huge courtyard. I waited until sunset, not to say it was in good order, but it was still in line with Li Yuan's wishes.
Afterwards, Li Yuan generously gave each person a few coins, and everyone left happily, showing reluctance as they walked away.
Li Yuan was too lazy to cooperate and just wanted to let Luo Erhu drive them all out of the house, so that he could feel peaceful when he was tired. Then he asked Liu Jiangsheng to find a good wine shop in the city and find some good wine and food. After the three brothers devoured the food, Li Yuan asked them each to choose a private room to rest.
The first night in Jinling was busy and fulfilling.
Li Yuan was lying on his back blankly on his big bed. As the owner of this compound, the room was naturally the most spacious in the house. But now there are only three lonely brothers in the whole house. It is so quiet late at night that you can even hear the imprint of ants moving.
He kept flipping through the chapters in his mind, counting in detail the time he came to this era, and now he has become a high-ranking official with a generous salary and a mansion to live in. In just one month, Li Yuan sighed inwardly. But I felt inexplicably sentimental. I wonder if your parents, relatives, friends, mentors, and classmates were all okay in that time and space?
After thinking about it wildly, a beautiful image of an alluring country appeared in my mind...
Is she Emperor Zhou E? The confidante who so obsessed Empress Li Li Yu that she played songs every night and neglected political affairs?
I saw it for the first time today, and it was just like what was recorded in history books. It was truly a national beauty! But she will be a queen in the future, so how can she get involved in it!
Thinking of this, Li Yuan couldn't help but shook his head mockingly, and then his thoughts became chaotic again. Today's Emperor Zhou E is estimated to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, and she performed a stunning dance at a palace event three years later. She was favored by Emperor Li Jing, and then she was betrothed to Li Yu, who had been entangled with her all her life.
Is Li Yu a good match? Apart from the title of queen, Li Yu really doted on her. The king of the country wrote lyrics for her, danced for her, and couldn't sleep at night because of her. But if Li Yu really loved Emperor Zhou E, how could he secretly hook up with his sister-in-law Xiao Hou when she fell ill? Later, he even had sex with her in front of her, and finally made her leave with hatred! This is an aboveboard scumbag!
Li Yuan sat up suddenly, no! We must not let her fall into the hands of Li Yu! What are you afraid of? Li Yu is only 14 years old at this time, and he is just a young boy who makes jokes all day long!
Well, heaven is about to give this person a great responsibility, and I will take care of this beauty and disaster!
After thinking about it, Li Yuan could no longer hold on and fell asleep...
At this time, in the deep courtyard of Zhou Mansion in the east of the city, there were also people tossing and turning in a fragrant boudoir.
"Is he that Li Yuan?"
After Emperor Zhou E returned home in the morning, he listened to Qiu'er and other maids detailing anecdotes about Jinling recently. Among them was a young man named Lang Sanqi who told the legend of surrendering to the King of Chu. Influenced by the upbringing of his father Zhou Zong since he was a child, Emperor Zhou E was very curious about the important affairs of the country. At night, he heard Qiu'er and several others still whispering, such as how handsome and graceful Li Lang was when he saw him today. , I was even more anxious inside.
Just lying softly on his side on the soft couch, his bright starry eyes still flickering, his mind couldn't help but think of the handsome face that suddenly came closer, and the masculine heat radiating towards him during his words, Zhou Ehuang blushed shyly , hurriedly covered his face with his hands: "He is really a shameless person..."
The next day, as the bell of Fengxian Temple rang, the streets and alleys in Jinling City gradually came to life again.
Today was the first time to go back to work. Li Yuan couldn't help but get excited. He woke up early. He was fully clad in a brand-new tiger-head armor, with a sword tied around his waist. He also wore a purple robe given by the emperor, coupled with this heroic spirit With a strikingly handsome face, Yuhou, the youngest and most handsome prince in the Tang Dynasty, was born.
The three brothers rode fast horses and rushed to the military divisions of the bodyguards. Li Yuan took out his appointment certificate and received a lot of things, which were just some replacement official uniforms and armors, and he chose a spare one. Nice sword. With the flattery of all the officials, the handover was completed smoothly.
Under the guidance, Li Yuan took the two brothers to the Dianzhi Military Office.
As soon as he entered the government office, he found that there were dozens of generals and commanders waiting inside for a long time. Li Yuan originally thought that he had gotten up late, but then he thought about it. Today, he came to meet his new boss. How dare these veteran officers not come earlier? Then he smiled easily.
After receiving the roster from a primary school student, Li Yuan started asking around again, and he probably had a pretty good idea. There is no doubt that the main function of this imperial army is to patrol and guard the imperial city. However, since there are no field missions, the number of troops is 30 to 40% less than other troops, and daily training is also pitiful. The combat effectiveness can be imagined.
Therefore, Dianzhijun has another name, Dianzhibaner. The whole army works according to the time and takes turns to be on duty. There is no need to go to the barracks to suffer. Those who are replaced can go home or come to the government office to chat and sit.
Li Yuan smiled knowingly, isn't this a proper nine-to-five job? It's very familiar.
After a moment, a general with a very distinctive appearance walked in under the awe-inspiring eyes of everyone. With a hooked nose and a full face of beard, it’s hard not to remember it!
Li Yuan also hurriedly got up. When he reported to the military commanders, he had already followed Chen Jue's previous reminder and walked to the dock with him in a sensible manner. The person who came was none other than his immediate superior, the commander of all the bodyguard armies and the military envoy of the Divine Guard. He held the top elite of the Forbidden Army and the big shot of all the miscellaneous armies, Liu Yanzhen.
The generals did not dare to neglect. They straightened their appearance and said solemnly: "I have seen Marshal Liu!"
Liu Yanzhen had a good sense of proportion. She strode in and neatly sat down on the seat. Then she raised her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it seems that this hall will become lively in the future."
Li Yuan secretly laughed in his heart, because he knew very well that this Liu Yanzhen was actually a cheater.
There were many generals whose names were recorded in the history books of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Bian Hao was a great grievance, but he managed to destroy two countries, but Liu Yanzhen was an out-and-out liar.
From the time when he was a soldier, he bought offices and was promoted all the way. He never fought in a battle, but he always boasted that he was Han Xin and Peng Yue. The Honest Emperor believed in him again, and he got where he is today. It was not until Chai Rong attacked the Southern Tang Dynasty that this big liar was exposed. He became famous in one battle and died on the spot...
Liu Yanzhen was very satisfied with her current authority and kept smiling. Then she raised her hand, and another tall and well-dressed general strode through the door.
"This is Peng Shigao, your Majesty's newly promoted military envoy. Come and greet me!"
Ha, this is the number one! All the generals, including Li Yuan, quickly raised their hands and shouted in unison: "The last general has seen Peng Du Envoy!" (Note: The Commander-in-Chief of the Army is a unique official position in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and can also be called the Commander-in-Chief of the Capital)
Peng Shigao was a ruthless man. He was from the Dongxi barbarian tribe. He had a strong back and strong back, and his strength was not worth mentioning. Although the emperor appreciated it very much, he had followed Ma Xi'e to surrender after all, and he couldn't help feeling uneasy at this time. So he bowed his hands to everyone and said nothing.
Liu Yanzhen disagreed and pointed at Li Yuan: "This is the young man who planned to surrender to the King of Chu this time. He has been waiting for Li Yuan for a long time. You must have heard about it."
At this time, the generals' eyes lit up, and they shouted in unison louder: "The last general has seen Li Yuhou!"
Liu Yanzhen was naturally happy to do so. The situation of the two newly appointed people had nothing to do with him. But at least Li Yuan would come to trouble, so of course he looked at it differently: "There is no deputy commander at this time. From now on, the direct team of this palace will be handed over to you two, and I will also have to be on duty. Li Yuhou, see you in the military camp in the future !”
After everyone respectfully sent Liu Yanzhen away, they could not restrain their excitement and curiosity, and surrounded Li Yuan one by one.
"This is Li Yuhou! I finally got to see him today!"
"Li Yuhou is indeed twenty years old! From now on, in the army, who dares to say that the people in our palace have rough skin and tight flesh?"
"General, I've been looking forward to it every day since I learned that Li Yuhou is coming to our palace to serve as a tutor!"
"Li Yuhou, can you tell us how King Chu..."
...
Although Li Yuan couldn't bear this sudden enthusiasm, he still maintained the dignity of being on the peak and patiently communicated with everyone. The generals were even more awe-struck when they saw that although Li Yuan was young, he had a humble face and was well-mannered in his dealings with others.
In the corner, Peng Shigao, as the newly appointed commander of the army, was also overwhelmed. No one paid attention to him. Although he had expected such a situation, how could he not be envious when he looked at Li Yuan who was enjoying everything in the crowd!
I could only sigh in my heart, alas, he is a surrendered general after all!
