Chapter 455: Three Meritorious Heroes (II)
"King Qin Breaking Array Dance" is a kind of etiquette, whenever the Tang Dynasty army wins a big victory and returns to the dynasty, Li Shimin will make the whole city celebrate, and build a high platform in the most prosperous place of Chang'an City, and order the Taichang Temple Maiko to dance for the generals and sergeants who have returned to the dynasty after victory, one as a reward, and the other to lift the morale of the army.
But like today, it is the first time that the courtiers are allowed to enjoy the dance alone, and it is the supreme honor for the courtiers.
On the high platform, the "King of Qin's Breaking Array Dance" is still continuing, more than 20 beautiful maiko are holding swords and shields, dancing vigorously, smooth movements, fierce killing sounds, and that touching flower-like face, at this moment, only for Li Su alone.
The crowd of onlookers was also watching, but they were far away from the high platform, and everyone was very conscious of two feet away from Li Su, leaving him with the best position under the high platform, and many eyes in the crowd were not only looking at the wonderful dancing, but more eyes were focused on the calm young face under the high platform.
It didn't take long for the crowd of onlookers to uncontrollably whisper, talking about the calm teenager.
The people of Chang'an have long been numb to one big victory after another, and every time Hongling reports that Pegasus enters Chang'an, it attracts nothing more than a burst of admiration from the people, and then turns around with a natural expression, and continues to live their own lives.
They have also seen a lot of generals who have won a great victory and returned to the dynasty, and they have also seen a lot of Qin kings' breaking array dances, which have formed a customary ritual, and it is not surprising that the people have seen a lot.
However, today's events have aroused the curiosity of the people of Chang'an, because they have never seen a ceremony of dancing for only one person. What kind of contribution did the calm young man not far away make in the Western Regions that would make His Majesty order Taichang Temple to dance for him alone?
Discussions came and went, and Li Su's name and appearance were also very famous in Chang'an City three years ago, and the people inquired about each other. Hearing the name Li Su, I couldn't help but dig out some of his deeds back then.
Writing poems, offering advice, spirits, movable type printing, and the scandal of the private affair with Princess Dongyang, Afang Gongfu openly satirized the monarch and was transferred to Xizhou to drive ......
Dusty deeds were dug up, and the people showed their exclamations. Then, the amazement quickly turned into admiration and worship.
It didn't take long for the Qin King to break the formation dance on the high platform to come to an end, and finally came to an abrupt end in a drumbeat that fell like raindrops, and the maiko and kabuki stood on the high platform and bowed down to Li Suyingying, and the crowd of onlookers behind Li Su suddenly made a commotion, and then. The people bowed to Li Su with admiration.
"Li Gong is strong!"
The sound of a landslide and a cracked cheer woke up Li Su in deep thought, and he turned around. Seeing the crowd in front of him bowing and saluting, and he didn't get up for a long time, Li Su smiled, straightened his clothes, and bowed back to the people very formally.
Xu Mingzhu stood in the crowd and saw that her husband was so respected and respected by the people. The little face was flushed with excitement, the small fists in the sleeves were clenched tightly, the whole body trembled slightly involuntarily, and the heartbeat accelerated in vain, looking at Li Sushi in the middle of the clearing. The gaze was never intoxicated and proud.
Cheng Chumo and Jiang Quan also stood in the crowd, looking at Li Su enviously, until the singing and dancing were over, the dancers retreated, and the two exhaled a long breath, glanced at each other, and then each smiled.
Cheng Chumo nodded at Jiang Quan: "The dance is good, the song is good, I will ...... in my lifetime"
He didn't continue with the next words, but there was a look of determination in his eyes.
Jiang Quan seemed to understand what he was going to say, nodded, and said slowly: "Yes, in my lifetime......"
Neither of them finished their words, but they both understood what the other was trying to say.
Meritorious deeds on the battlefield, return to the teacher Chaotianque, the husband should be like Li Su!
…………
After singing and dancing, Li Su still stood motionless under the high platform.
The eunuch who announced the decree stepped forward and smiled respectfully: "Li Xianzi, please continue to move forward, there is his own imperial grace all the way." ”
Li Su thanked the eunuch and continued to walk in the direction of Taiji Palace, while Jiang Quan, Cheng Chumo and others behind him stopped. Their expressions were a little embarrassed, and at this moment they could also see that today was the day when Li Su was extremely glorious, from the Taipingfang Gate to the Taiji Palace Gate, about three miles away, this road should be walked by Li Su alone, they didn't want to share Li Su's glory and limelight.
Li Su walked a few steps, heard that there was no movement behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Jiang Quan and the others looking at him hesitantly.
Li Su smiled at him and the soldiers of the cavalry battalion, then beckoned, and said, "Let's go, why are you stunned?" ”
After Jiang Quan and the soldiers looked at each other, they laughed a few times in unison, took a step forward, and followed Li Su.
On the upper floor of Xizhou City, everyone has shed blood and worked hard for Sheji, and this glory should also have their share.
Further on, the whole road has been empty, the people and traders automatically consciously let out all the road, a dusty young man, leading a group of wounded and disabled, tattered armor of the soldiers, walking on the road to the Taiji Palace, under the low eaves of the shops on both sides of the road, densely packed with people and traders, every time the soldiers walked through, the people have stood under the eaves and saluted, silently with full, from the bottom of their hearts.
The hustle and bustle of Chang'an City, today, at this moment, because of this group of soldiers who have returned from a hundred battles, there has been unprecedented quiet.
When a group of people passed through the Taiping Fang, only about a mile away from the gate of Taiji Palace, Xu Mingzhu's light steps gradually slowed down, and then, standing still in the crowd, tearfully watching Li Su and his robes welcome the most glorious moment of life, and she took the initiative to step out of the role of a participant and became a bystander.
The towering palace gate of Taiji Palace is already in front of you, and the guards in front of the palace gate are like a forest, and there is a vast open space in the middle. In the middle of the open space outside the Jinshui Bridge, a eunuch holding a yellow silk stood quietly, smiling as Li Su and the others got closer and closer.
When Li Su walked in front of the eunuch, the eunuch slowly unfolded the yellow silk in his hand, and his smiling expression instantly became serious.
"Jingyang County, General Dingyuan, don't drive Li Su in Xizhou to take the order-"
Li Su and all the soldiers behind him bowed down one after another.
"Minister Li Su, take the order."
The yellow silk is the holy decree issued by the inner palace, a very formal form, and it is also the most formal of the three decrees today.
"I said: I am the heir of the Hongye, the thought of the road to the road, the quiet district, the foreign monarch, the sea surface of the canal, far away, no thought. And Gaochang Guizi Erxiao Fan, the right side of the solid river, the land is not far away for thousands of miles, the public is not 10,000, do not measure their strength, do not sympathize with their people, wantonly refuse to die, resist the country, and commit my Xizhou. Li Su, the son of Jingyang County, has magnificent knowledge, a strong demeanor, a strong fortune, a corner of performance, a remnant of 5,000, guarding Xizhou, serving the country, sticking to the thief realm, risking hardships for a long time, and fighting for the rest of his life. Kete into Li Sujing County Hou, 500 households in the real food city, 300 taels of gold, 200 horses of silk, Li Xu's family in the main room plus five products, can be ordered to be the division, prepare the gift book. Greatly. ”
After reading the long and obscure text, the blankness in Li Su's eyes became deeper and deeper, because he didn't understand a word.
This holy decree is too formal, every word in it is carefully carved and carefully crafted by the inner servants, and then stamped with the emperor's seal, it has become a holy decree that will be recorded in history.
Li Su didn't understand, but Jiang Quan behind him had read some books, and before others could react, Jiang Quan shouted excitedly regardless of his manners.
"It's a marquis! Li Don't drive the marquis! ”
Li Su then understood, it turned out that he had been crowned a marquis, what Tian Renhui said at the beginning was true, the first battle in Xizhou, the meritorious people should be rewarded, plus the medal, the title, the gold and silk to give the field, but he Li Su is the only one to be promoted, in the current environment of the Tang Dynasty Son of Heaven intentionally or unintentionally reducing the title, Li Su is unique and actually promoted to the knighthood, the dragon of the emperor's grace, the world is incomparable.
Behind him, as Jiang Quan shouted, all the soldiers in the cavalry camp also reacted, and they all let out a burst of joyful cheers.
After the will was read, the eunuch frowned, as if he was a little dissatisfied with these guys who didn't understand the rules, and when his eyes turned to Li Su, the eunuch immediately changed his face to a smile, held the yellow silk in front of Li Su with both hands, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the county marquis, please accept the decree." ”
Li Su came back to his senses, hurriedly took the holy decree with both hands and held it high above his head, and bowed to the ground towards the gate of Taiji Palace: "Minister Li Su, thank Your Majesty Longen." ”
The eunuch straightened his waist and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has a decree, Hou Li Su of Jingyang County will enter the palace immediately, and the Ganlu Palace will be visited." ”
"Obey."
Li Su got up and saluted with a smile to the soldiers behind him, and the soldiers hurriedly returned the salute, and then stood still in front of the palace.
Obviously, they also understand that it will definitely not be their turn to enter the palace to meet Tianyan for such a glorious thing, and the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty is not something that anyone can see if they want to.
So, under the leadership of the eunuchs, Li Su crossed the Jinshui Bridge and Longshou Canal alone, walked into the gate of Taiji Palace, and slowly walked towards the Ganlu Palace.
*****************************************************************
The beautiful scenery of the palace is still so familiar, Li Su is walking while enjoying the scenery of the palace that has been in and out many times, the corners of his mouth are hooked up with a smile, and when he looks straight ahead, there is already a calm and self-authoritative momentum in the instrument.
Immediately famous, the young man was crowned marquis, and his life was proud.
Through the countless buildings and pavilions in the palace, the eunuch led Li Su to the gate of the Ganlu Palace, and ordered Li Su to wait outside the palace, while he went in to pass the ceremony.
Not long after, there was a burst of heroic laughter in the hall.
"Li Su is back? Get out of here! I haven't seen you for a few years, but I've seen you grow taller. ”
Li Su sighed secretly, took off his shoes, stepped into the hall in his footcoat, and bowed down from afar.
"Minister Li Su, meet Your Majesty."
