Chang'an City.
The city gate.
There was a forest of soldiers, civil and military personnel gathered together. Li Longji, dressed in a dragon robe, stood at the front of the team, sitting high on a dragon chariot.
The guarding imperial troops were like city walls, protecting Li Longji and the civil and military ministers at the front, isolating them from the surging crowd at the rear.
"The emperor personally welcomes you, what an honor it must be."
"This is the Wushuang Hou, but there are several Wushuang Hous in this world. Looking at ancient and modern history, it is difficult to find the second one."
"Wen can use his pen to dominate the scholars, and military can mount his horse to determine the world. The name of Unparalleled Marquis is indeed well deserved."
"I heard that Wushuang Hou may want to be granted the title of Duke of Jin this time. I don't know if it is true or not."
"It's hard to say, but if it is true that the Jin Dynasty is a Duke, then it is true."
The surging crowd at the back couldn't help but talk, and at the same time, more people couldn't help but gather here.
Because today was the day when Tiance's army returned to Beijing in triumph, the emperor personally led all the civil and military officials of the court to greet him at the city gate. Under such circumstances, there was no need to say anything. Countless people couldn't help but gathered curiously, wanting to see Watch the excitement and the situation.
soon.
The army appears.
"Look, it's coming, it's coming, the Tiance Army is back!"
"Look ahead."
The crowd soon became commotion, and they all looked up at the official road directly in front of the city.
At this time, a mighty and majestic army appeared at the end of the official road, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves and footsteps.
Astonishingly, it was not the Tiance Army who had returned in triumph.
"Haha, my Jade Immortal is back. Hurry up and drive your horses. I will personally come forward to greet you."
Seeing the triumphant return of Tiance's army in sight, Li Longji also said with great joy.
"promise."
Gao Lishi, who was following Li Longji closely, heard the words and immediately ordered to drive the chariot to greet the Tiance Army in sight. Seeing this, the civil and military ministers in the rear naturally followed suit.
As a result, the scene at the scene suddenly changed to the official road in the distance. The mighty Tiance Army marched towards Chang'an City, and Li Longji, who was waiting at the city gate, was also riding on a chariot with hundreds of civil and military officials and officials behind him. Other forbidden troops and crowds formed a mighty team and also faced Tiance's army.
Suddenly it turned into a scene of two mighty teams rushing in both directions.
"Junhou, this is Your Majesty."
In Tiance's army, Bai Yuxian, who was riding at the front, and Guo Ziyi, Gao Shi, Li Siye, Feng Changqing, Li Sanlang, Sun Wuzhou, Bai Qingzhi, Bai Ziyu, Wang Wei and others behind him also instantly noticed the mighty and mighty people approaching in front of them. Li Longji and the team behind came.
Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer, Bai Yuxian immediately gave an order.
"Everyone dismount and greet His Majesty."
"promise."
After hearing this, all the generals behind him immediately followed Bai Yuxian and dismounted.
At the same time, the army also stopped marching, waiting for the arrival of Li Longji and others in sight.
When Li Longji arrived, Bai Yuxian immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed.
"Your Majesty, Bai Yuxian, see you, long live your Majesty, long live, long live your Majesty!"
"See your majesty, long live your majesty, long live, long live your majesty!"
The entire Tiance army behind them also knelt down and worshiped in unison.
See this scene.
When the carriage stopped, Li Longji immediately got out of the carriage happily and walked up to Bai Yuxian in person and quickly helped Bai Yuxian up.
"Please come quickly, Immortal Jade. Immortal Yu has done such a great service for our Tang Dynasty this time. He defeated the barbarians and solved the border troubles. He has armor on his body, so there is no need to kneel down and worship."
Bai Yuxian was helped up after Li Longji, but his expression was still respectful.
"Eating the emperor's salary, being loyal to the emperor, and sharing the emperor's worries. As a minister, these are all the duties of the Jade Immortal. And without His Majesty's support and appreciation, how could the Jade Immortal be here today."
"The Jade Immortal has no way to repay His Majesty's kindness. Only by serving the country with one's own merit can I repay His Majesty's kindness."
have a look.
What is a loyal minister and good general?
What is my humerus minister.
That's it.
Hearing Bai Yuxian's words, Li Longji couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart.
Apart from Bai Yuxian, where else can I find such capable and loyal ministers who are both civil and military?
"I am lucky to have the Jade Immortal in this life."
Then Li Longji directly took Bai Yuxian and asked him to ride the dragon chariot into the city.
However, Bai Yuxian would not agree to this foolishly.
Riding in a chariot with the emperor, even if Li Longji didn't care about it himself, it would make the world think what the news spread. Moreover, Li Longji was just in the moment, but when he calmed down afterwards, it was hard to say whether he would think more about it. , and if someone makes a fuss about this matter again, the problem will be even bigger.
But refusing directly would definitely not work, so Bai Yuxian immediately retreated and sought a second path.
"Your Majesty is the king, and Jade Immortal is his minister. As the Lord of the Dragon Chariot, how can Jade Immortal sit with Your Majesty? But if Your Majesty doesn't mind, why not let Jade Immortal drive your Majesty's car next. In this way, Jade Immortal can be regarded as being with you. Your Majesty is riding in the dragon chariot together."
"Yu Xian also hopes that he can always drive for His Majesty in this life, and always drive for the King."
"Okay, okay, that's it. Next, Yuxian will drive you, and you and I, the monarch and his ministers, will ride into the city together."
Li Longji was even more happy when he heard this.
In this way, Bai Yuxian and Li Longji got on the dragon chariot. Li Longji sat on the seat behind the dragon chariot, while Bai Yuxian sat in front and held the reins and started to drive the carriage and horses.
Everyone else present was shocked when they saw this scene.
Everyone knows that Bai Yuxian's status in Li Longji's heart is probably not matched by any of them in the entire capital.
Then the army entered the city and passed through the ten-mile long street of Chang'an City.
Bai Yuxian pulled the reins and drove the chariot and horses to deliver Li Longji to the gate of the palace. However, Li Longji pulled him directly into the palace, saying that he would personally take care of him.
In fact, at this time, Bai Yuxian wanted to go home and see his lovely wife and family.
But facing Li Longji, as a courtier, he naturally could not refuse, so he had to follow Li Longji into the palace again.
Tiancejun returned directly to Beiya.
As Bai Yuxian entered the city, news quickly spread throughout Chang'an City.
——
Tiance Mansion.
Zhen Shi, Han Shiyin, Xiang Ling, Liu Yiren, Liu Hongxiu, Li Shishi, Li Mingyue and others are also anxiously waiting for the news.
Knowing that today is the day when Bai Yuxian returns to Beijing in triumph.
So since the morning, the entire Tiance Mansion has been waiting for it.
Especially Han Shiyin, Xiangling and the other girls, they hadn't slept well since last night, and they were looking forward to Bai Yuxian's return.
"What's the news? The Marquis has entered the city."
Li Mingyue couldn't help but ask when she saw the boy who had gone back to look for letters come back.
"Reporting to the Princess, Madam, and Madams, the Marquis has just entered the city, but after entering the city, the Marquis was summoned to the palace by His Majesty."
The boy quickly reported it.
"Entering the palace."
The ladies Zhen and Han Shiyin who were present all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
It's good to be back. As for entering the palace, it doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as you come back, you will definitely come back as soon as you come out of the palace. It doesn't matter if it's a little later.
And now that Bai Yuxian was summoned into the palace by Li Longji, it also proved that Li Longji valued Bai Yuxian.
is a good thing.
Only Li Mingyue couldn't help but feel a little resentful in her heart. She felt inexplicably that her father suddenly wanted to steal her husband.
When your husband came back, you, your wife, hadn't seen him yet, but you snatched him away first.
Of course, Li Mingyue was the only daughter present who dared to resent her father a little in her heart, and others certainly did not dare.
"Since Yuxian went to the palace first, we will wait at home. In addition, Guanshi You has arranged the carriage to wait outside the palace."
Madam Zhen immediately gave another order.
"Don't worry, Madam. I will make arrangements personally right now."
Manager You said immediately.
And in Wuhou next door to Tiance Mansion.
Everyone in the Wuhou Mansion soon learned of the news of Bai Yuxian's return.
"Brother from the Jade Immortal Clan is back."
Five girls, Bai Qian, Bai Qian, Bai Yue, Bai Xue and Bai Lan, were surprised.
"Our Wuhou Mansion and Tiance Mansion are in the same spirit, and the Bai family is a close relative. Now that Brother Xian has returned home in triumph, we should also go over to visit and congratulate him."
Mrs. Bai said, although she still felt uncomfortable in her heart, she also knew clearly that their Wuhou Mansion was already on the verge of collapse. If they did not want it to collapse completely, the only one they could count on was Bai Yuxian.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Bai Yusheng beside him, and couldn't help but feel a flash of disappointment.
Rao is the old lady Bai who has always been partial to Bai Yusheng. After all these years, she couldn't help but feel disappointed when she saw Bai Yusheng's performance.
Because now several years have passed, Bai Yusheng still cannot afford to support him, and he failed again in the previous two consecutive autumn examinations.
Even now, Bai Yusheng has not even gotten married.
Because no one in the entire capital, any dignitary with any status, was willing to marry their daughter to Bai Yusheng and marry her into the Wuhou Mansion.
To put it bluntly, in the past few years, Wuhou Mansion has basically only been left with the Hou Men brand to hang on to.
