Zheng Peng waved his hand and said: "What kind of pink Red Army, don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, in fact, I am a very conservative person, and many people have some misunderstandings about me." ”

I didn't explain it, as soon as I explained, there was a sound of fluttering around him, Zheng Peng turned his head and looked, the people around him all wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh and forcibly held back, a few of them even covered their mouths, for fear that they would laugh out loud, some people also laughed while looking at Princess Jincheng's carriage, after the avalanche in Tubo, Lan Duo, who had been pestering Zheng Peng, became a little abnormal, and most of the time he stayed with Princess Jincheng, as for what reason, the soldiers of the Western Army who followed Zheng Peng already knew it.

Although Guo Ziyi ordered the people present to be silenced, there were too many people at the scene at that time, and the paper did not contain the fire, and it was no secret that Zheng Peng took down the county lord of Tuqishi.

Looking at this situation, Zheng Peng knew that he had explained in vain, not only in vain, but also in a feeling that the more he described, the darker he became.

"General Zheng is a decent man."

"Of course, General Zheng has always been conservative and decent, by the way, it seems that the general himself said it, this is called a thousand flowers in the crowd, and the leaves do not touch."

"Yes, yes, don't get wet, I didn't say I didn't pick flowers."

"If you can pick flowers, who will pick leaves? General Zheng not only picks flowers, but also picks flowers, hahaha. ”

"That's too right, our general would rather be lacking than overuse."

"The main reason is that those beauties are too proactive, you must know that General Zheng is a conservative person, and it is also the fault of those beauties that there is a mistake."

Everyone laughed and said, causing a burst of laughter from time to time, ridiculing their own generals are not polite at all, they all know that Zheng Peng is very serious on the field, but he is very easy-going off the field, and it doesn't matter if he mingles with the soldiers and makes some innocuous jokes.

Zheng Peng smiled a little wordlessly and bitterly, forget it, even if you can't hear it.

Before the expedition to the west entered the field of vision of the people of Chang'an, everyone lined up and put their armor in order, and although there were only 800 people who followed Zheng Peng into Beijing to receive the reward, these 800 people were all experienced elites, and the number was a little less, but they were full of momentum, and they advanced in a queue on the official road.

Before he arrived at the Mingde Gate, Zheng Peng saw Li Longji, accompanied by the guards, with hundreds of civil and military officials, already waiting in front of the Mingde Gate.

In fact, along the way, there are soldiers on duty on the side of the road, when the troops are still twenty miles away from Chang'an, the official road to Mingdemen has been blocked by the Yulin Army, and it has become a special road for the Western Army.

As soon as Zheng Peng and his entourage appeared, the people in front of the Mingde Gate immediately became agitated, and some people shouted slogans such as "General Zheng is mighty", "The army is invincible in the west", and "The Tang Dynasty is mighty".

District of 10,000 people, just the invincible Tubo annihilated, what a merit this is, not to mention anything else, just hearing it makes people feel proud, no one organized, there is no appeal, the people of Chang'an rushed to tell each other, some traders simply closed the door of the store, spontaneously went to Mingde Gate to meet the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, but also to see the demeanor of the mighty army of the Tang Dynasty, to know that Zheng Peng's exploits, it is comparable to Wang Xuance when Zhenguan.

Wang Xuance is a cattle man in the early Tang Dynasty, when he was attacked when he went to Tianzhu Kingdom, he felt that the majesty of the Tang Dynasty was hurt, and he had no shame to go back to see the emperor, and then went back to ask for troops to punish Tianzhu for too long, so he said that he moved the mud Brahmana Department, borrowed 7,500 elite soldiers, when Princess Wencheng had married to Tubo, Tubo and the Tang Dynasty were in the honeymoon period, and the shrewd Wang Xuance borrowed 1,500 elite soldiers from Songtsan Gampo in the name of Tang Taizong, and also called the major Tang vassal states nearby, and recruited people in the name of the Tang Dynasty's rebellion. Recently, he gathered nearly 10,000 troops to kill back to Tianzhu, with his outstanding wisdom and excellent command, invincible, when Tianzhu was divided into east, south, west, north, and middle five departments, and it was hard to let Wang Xuance even level the middle and east two departments.

When he returned to Chang'an, he not only brought back the Tianzhu leader who attacked the Tang Mission, Alonashun, but also brought back a large number of cattle such as cattle, horses and elephants, as well as 10,000 prisoners of war, and countless gold beads and valuables, which greatly strengthened the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.

The triumphant expeditionary army was getting closer and closer, and when everyone saw Zheng Peng walking at the front of the team, there was a thunderous cheer, and many young women screamed loudly with excitement.

Zheng Peng was wearing a mighty Mingguang armor, holding a horsewhip and a horizontal knife at his waist, riding on a white horse, with a straight waist and bright eyes, especially the kind of self-confidence and calmness, which combined the might of the military generals with the free and easy of the literati seamlessly, giving people a sense of excellence and extraordinary, which made people have a good impression at a glance.

Li Longji, who was sitting on the dragon chariot, saw Zheng Peng, nodded secretly, and couldn't help but say to himself: "What a guy who loves to toss." ”

The return of victory was originally a good thing, Li Longji was also very happy, but he did not expect to receive an ambush from the defeated Tubo general Bannuo in the middle of the way, causing avalanches and landslides, so that many Tang soldiers were buried on the ground, including Zheng Peng and Lan Duo, the county lord of the Tuqi Shi, Li Longji, the county lord of the Tuqi Shi, did not put it in his eyes, but if Zheng Peng was gone, it would definitely be an immeasurable loss to the Tang Dynasty, when he saw this eight-hundred-mile emergency report, Li Longji remembered that his hands were trembling, and he ordered on the spot: At all costs, you must see people in life and corpses in death.

Fortunately, a few days later, I received the news that Zheng Peng was not dead, not only Li Longji breathed a long sigh of relief, but also the people in the palace secretly breathed a sigh of relief: in those few days, Li Longji's temper was surprisingly bad, many ministers and concubines were reprimanded by him, and many palace maids and eunuchs rewarded the board.

Zheng Peng's danger on the way was kept strictly secret from the beginning, that is, even his family members Lu Shu and Lin Xun'er didn't know.

At this time, Zheng Peng, who was walking in front, was only about ten zhang away from Li Longji, Zheng Peng raised his right hand, signaled the team to stop, jumped off his horse, and walked in front of Li Longji, took off his helmet and held it on his chest, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Zheng Peng, the general of the expedition to the west, visited the emperor, and the last general was ordered to go to Tibet, fortunately he did not disgrace his mission, took back the gold lord of Jincheng, and captured the family of the Tubo crime he committed, long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The expeditionary army jumped off their horses together, shouting in unison while saluting.

On the way, Zheng Peng had already made arrangements and rehearsed in the direction of Chang'an, although there were only 800 people, but the movements were neat and the voice was loud, creating a feeling of thousands of troops.

Long live the highest appeared in the Warring States Period, "The Origin of Things" Volume 1: "During the Warring States Period, the King of Qin saw Lin Xiangru Fengbi, Tiandan pseudo-covenant to descend Yan, Feng Tan burned Meng Weijun's bonds, and the left and right and the people all shouted Long live, since the Qin and Han dynasties, and then slowly spread, like the army returning from victory, and congratulating each other on the festive day are called long live, and the emperor is widely used on major festivals, or caused by Wu Zetian.

It is said that after Wu Zetian became the emperor, she especially liked to be praised by others, so as to elevate her status as "not right", but she was not easy to speak out. One day, she summoned all the scholars of the Hanlin Academy in the Jinluan Hall to answer the questions correctly. She blurted out the previous question: "The jade girl knocks on the horn by the river, the horn!" Horn! Horn bang!" The scholars searched their stomachs and answered dozens of sentences, but the Empress Wu was not satisfied, and she felt disappointed. At this time, a scholar who was accustomed to flattery saw her thoughts and hurriedly chanted: "Long live in front of the Jinluan Palace, long live!" Banzai! Hooray! Empress Wu was elated and praised greatly, and since then it has been widely used in the government and the opposition.

Although he had read these news in the recital, he still felt his heart ripple when he heard Zheng Peng say it himself, especially the sentence "Long live, long live, long live", which made him feel agitated, and he stepped down from the dragon chariot and helped Zheng Peng up with his own hands: "Aiqing has worked hard, no courtesy." ”

"Your Majesty."

Li Longji walked a few steps, saw Lan Duo kneeling in front of the team, and said with a smile: "Little Lan Duo, you did a good job this time, no courtesy." ”

Lan Duo followed the Western Army to conquer Tibet, and the favored General Jin became the most effective scout in the Tang Dynasty, and made great contributions in the surprise attack on Luoqi City and the struggle with Tubo, and Li Longji was very satisfied with her.

"This is what Landuo should do, Emperor Xie appreciates it." Lando said excitedly.

"Okay, this time I did a good job, I will definitely be rewarded."

If it were someone else, he would definitely be grateful again and again when he heard this, but the straightforward Landuo's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Your Majesty, what do you appreciate?" ”

Li Longji paused for a moment, he didn't expect Lan Duo to ask this question like this, but he quickly reacted, first glanced at Zheng Peng thoughtfully, and then teased: "Is it okay for me to reward you with a wishful husband?" ”

The ignorant are fearless, do you fulfill the old saying that is not a family does not enter the door? I remember that the eunuch replied that when Zheng Peng received the reward for the first time, he was furious when he saw the 10,000 copper coins, and shouted that the eunuch had blackened his 10,000 taels of gold, which was funny to think about.

This action was too obvious, Lan Duo knew that Li Longji knew about his relationship with Zheng Peng, no matter how bold she was, her pretty face instantly turned red like blood, and she said, "Thank you for the emperor's concern, no need, no need, Lan Duo retreated" and fled.

Lan Duo ran to the side, Li Longji did not pursue it, and said happily to the 800 soldiers of the Western Army who were kneeling in front of him: "All the soldiers have worked hard and made great achievements, they are all meritorious people, so let's get even." ”

"Your Majesty."

After the soldiers of the Western Army were pacified, Li Longji immediately asked, "Where is the imperial sister?" ”

The original standing army retreated to the side, and a middle-aged woman with gorgeous clothes, a slender figure, and an elegant temperament came with the support of the two palace maids, and walked up to Li Longji and bowed lightly: "Jincheng to meet the emperor." ”

"Imperial sister is exempt" Li Longji looked at Princess Jincheng, with a trace of guilt in his eyes, and said with some emotion: "I have been wronged." ”

Princess Jincheng's real name is Li Nunu, although her biological father is Li Shouli, the king of Sui, and was later adopted by Li Xian, Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty. Although she was born as a daughter of the clan, she grew up in the palace with other princesses since she was a child, and for the benefit of the Tang Dynasty, she left her homeland at a young age, went to a strange place, married a strange man, and paid too much, too much......
