"Master Li, take the order." The old eunuch reminded with an expressionless face.

Li Hao came back to his senses, hurriedly called out for thanks, and got up to receive the holy decree.

The old eunuch beckoned behind him, and a Yu Linwei pulled out a tall white horse, which was indeed Li Shimin's lion skull.

Li Hao took the reins, a little confused for a while, and the old eunuch said: "Lord Li, Your Majesty has authorized you to ride a horse in Chang'an City, and you will ride a lion into the city, so that the people can see how heroic our young heroes of the Tang Dynasty are, hey, why didn't you wear the silver armor costume that Your Majesty gave you?" ”

Li Hao hurriedly explained: "All the way, I was afraid of getting dirty, so I didn't wear it." ”

"Oh, Master Li has a heart." The old eunuch nodded and said, "Now that it's almost Chang'an, Lord Li should change it on, Your Majesty wants to see how you look in that set of armor." ”

Li Hao bowed his head helplessly, took off his clothes again, and changed into that set of armor, including the crown and belt of his shoes.

The old eunuch watched him change his outfit with his own eyes, and then left, Li Hao also got on the horse and took everyone to Chang'an City, the lion skull really had a very stubborn temper, and several times he sprinkled nonsense, Li Hao directly hit its neck with a palm, and it screamed in pain, and after a few times, this thing knew that it could not be pleased in Li Hao's hands, so he didn't dare to make trouble again.

When he arrived at the Jinguang Gate, the guards guarding the city stopped Li Hao and said that His Majesty would send an edict to let Li Hao enter the city through the Mingde Gate. Li Hao was helpless, so he went around to the south and entered the city from Mingde Gate.

Mingde Gate is the south gate of Chang'an, and it is also the farthest away from Taiji Palace, Li Shimin's intention is obvious, he wants to let Li Hao swagger through the market, so that the people of Chang'an can see this young hero of the Tang Dynasty.

As soon as Li Hao entered the Mingde Gate not far away, he heard the thunderous sound of hooves in front of him, and a group of Yu Linwei came quickly, and the leader was the middle-aged eunuch who announced the decree last time, and the middle-aged eunuch did not talk nonsense when he met, and shouted directly: "The chief of the march of Liugu Road, the history of the Tingzhou Thorn, the captain of Tingzhou Zhichong, and the male Li Hao of Lantian County received the order!" ”

The pedestrians and businessmen all knelt down, Li Hao dismounted to receive the order, and the middle-aged eunuch said loudly: "Pass on Your Majesty's will, the general manager of the march of Liugu Road, the history of Tingzhou Thorn, the captain of Tingzhou Zhichong, the hero of Lantian County, Li Hao, a heroic young man, talking and laughing and breaking the river, killing Gaochang with miraculous skills, living up to my hopes, opening up the frontier, and giving a palace maid to serve and live." ”

Li Hao's brows jumped wildly, what are the meanings of giving the palace maid, sure enough, it is to send the mount after sending the clothes, and the woman after sending the mount, and all of them have been done by Li Shimin, is he collecting rags?

Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't show anything on his face, and hurriedly thanked him for receiving the order, and the middle-aged eunuch said with a smile on his face: "Lord Li, the palace maid will be sent to your mansion by someone, please continue to move forward first, there is still His Majesty's reward waiting for you ahead." ”

"Thank you." Li Hao arched his hand, got back on his horse, and continued to move forward with everyone.

After a long time, he finally arrived in front of Chengtianmen, here, he met Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun, no matter how you say it, they have also fought together, even if they are deliberately estranged, they can't pretend not to know each other at all, nodding to each other, and saying hello.

At this moment, the Chengtian Gate opened, and another team of Yulin guards rushed out from the Chengtian Gate, led by Xu Lian, Xu Lian held the holy decree in his hand, and when he came closer, he raised his voice: "The holy decree has arrived!" Lantian County male Li Hao took the order! ”

Everyone present knelt down, and Li Hao greeted him loudly.

Xu Lian unfolded the holy decree and read aloud: "The edict said: The court's kindness to the scholars is more important than praise; The Son of Man repays his relatives, and he is not eager to show off. Gaochang is a small country in the Western Regions, the territory is not more than 100,000 miles, and the people are not more than 100,000. Today, a man from Lantian County, Tingzhou Thorn History, Tingzhou Zhichong Lieutenant Li Haozhi, civil and military all-rounder, Dingtingzhou people's livelihood, anti-Huma iron cavalry, with 4,000 remnants, 70,000 Huyi, Ke Shoutingzhou, bloody battle for more than three months, not an inch back; Heroic young man, when it is like this, this merit is not rewarded, who is rewarded, especially into Li Hao Lantian County Marquis, 500 households of real food, 300 taels of gold, 300 horses of silk, his wife Li Tu added a five-grade order, the commander has a division, prepare a gift book life, Qin! ”

After reading the holy decree, Li Hao was stunned for a while, this holy decree was a little awkward, to be honest, he didn't understand the first sentence, let alone the later, he turned his head and blinked, looking at Lu Yun, Lu Yun shook his head, the meaning was obvious: "Don't look at me, you read more books than me." ”

Li Hao turned his head to look at Li Yuanzhong on the left again, Li Yuanzhong looked bitter, and the meaning was obvious: "Look at what I'm doing, I'm from Wufu." ”

"Hou Ye Li." Xu Lian smiled and said, "Why haven't you come to accept the order?" ”

"Master Hou? I'm a marquis? Li Hao hurriedly thanked him happily, took the holy decree, and asked with a smile, "Father-in-law Xu, am I a marquis?" ”

"It's a marquis." Xu Lian nodded with a smile on his face, "Not only that, but the emperor also crowned your wife as the fifth grade." ”

"Ah, the emperor's grace is immense." Li Hao arched his hand in the direction of Taiji Palace very exaggeratedly, and was very excited, but in fact, he secretly slandered in his heart, "Destroying the country's military merits, only to reward a marquis, stingy, and the Khan, hum, disgusted ......"

Xu Lian saw that his face was not right, and asked, "Is Marquis Li dissatisfied with His Majesty's reward?" ”

"Nope!" Li Hao's eyes widened, with an innocent face, "Your Majesty's imperial grace is immense, I am almost grateful." ”

"Then why does Hou Ye Li look disgusted?"

"Is there one? No way, you read it wrong...... Well, I must have read it wrong. Li Hao hurriedly touched his face, trying not to let Xu Lian find any more traces.

Xu Lian waved his hand and said, "Master Li, don't delay, Your Majesty is anxious to see you, you should go to the Ganlu Hall to face the saint quickly." ”

"Oh, good." Li Hao bundled his armor and crown and walked towards Chengtianmen.

Before entering the Chengtian Gate, he heard Xu Lian shouting loudly in the rear: "Xue Wanjun, the general of Zuotunwei, receives the order!" ”

It seems that Xue Wanjun is going to be rewarded again.

Under Chengtian Yongdao, there was a little eunuch waiting for Li Hao here, and then led Li Hao to the Ganlu Palace, and came to the outside of the Ganlu Palace, the eunuch stepped forward to report, and then came back and said: "Marquis Li, Your Majesty declares you." ”

Li Hao solemnly raised his feet up the stone steps, entered the gate of the Ganlu Palace, as soon as he entered the hall, he saw a large round platform in the hall, like a stage, and there were many wonderful and beautiful people standing around the platform, but these poor people were women dressed as men, all wearing armor, holding props, knives and guns, Li Hao was stunned when he saw this, what happened? Knife and axeman? Li Shimin wants to harm me?

At this time, Li Shimin's voice suddenly came: "Li Hao saluted first, sat down, and accompanied me to enjoy the music of the Qin King's breaking formation." ”

Li Hao was suddenly awe-struck when he heard this, he didn't expect that he would have the honor to accompany Li Shimin to watch King Qin's breaking dance music, which was a great honor, so he hurriedly sat down.

The music of the Qin Dynasty is the court music and dance of the Tang Dynasty in China. One of the most famous songs, dances. Originally used for feasting, and later used for sacrifices, it belongs to the category of martial arts (as opposed to cultural dance). It is a symbol of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, and its momentum is extraordinary. King Qin naturally refers to Li Shimin.

To be honest, accompanying Li Shimin to watch this Qin King Breaking Array Dance is the biggest reward among all the rewards, and so far, I have never heard of anyone winning such an honor.

"Knock knock knock ......" a drum sounded, from slow to fast, and finally dense as raindrops, bursts of knocking on the heart, all the dancers rose with the music, because it was a martial dance, the props swords and guns were scratched, and the magnificent color was deduced, with the music of the silk string pipe and bamboo, the softness was full of murderous atmosphere, which was obviously the sound of China, but it also revealed a trace of the Western Regions turtle style, implying that the territory of the Tang Dynasty was thousands of miles, even if it was the land of the Western Regions, it was also under the control of the Tang Dynasty.

The music is slow and slow, exciting, the dancer is soft and rigid, smart and elegant, pleasing to the eye, Li Hao quietly squinted, and found that Li Shimin on the throne was closing his eyes and turning his head sideways, his body was slowly shaking with the music, very rhythmic, full of enjoyment, as if he was immersed in the music of breaking the array, Li Hao also learned the same, closed his eyes and listened, and suddenly found that after closing his eyes, there seemed to be another world, he seemed to be on the wall of Tingzhou again, fighting the Gaochang army, covered in blood, and the war was raging.

The sound of silk and bamboo is like a cracked silk, shocking, Li Hao's mind suddenly appeared countless enemies, rushing towards him, in front of him stood the loyal and bloody Tang warriors, behind him is the Tang Red Flag vibrating in the wind, the enemy is like a tide rushing, all died under the Tang knife, even if the soldiers continue to fall, they will not retreat, the battle to the tragic place, all the warriors together bloody roar: "The spear will always guard the soul of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

The joy stopped, the picture in Li Hao's mind also stagnated because of this, slowly disappeared, opened his eyes, Li Shimin also opened his eyes at the same time, and the poor people quietly retreated, and only the two of them were left in the Ganlu Palace.

Li Hao got up and walked to the hall to salute Li Shimin: "Weichen Li Hao, meet my emperor Tian Khan, may my emperor rule the world for thousands of years." ”

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this, he clearly remembered that when he first heard this sentence, it was the eighth year of Zhenguan, when Li Hao was only fourteen years old, and now, Li Hao is already a twenty-year-old young man, and has made great achievements, and as a heavenly khan, in addition to the wrinkles on his face have become more, the hair on his sideburns has also turned white, and the invincible Tian Khan in the world is not invincible, at least he is not invincible against the erosion of time.

Looking at the young Li Hao wearing the outfit he wore back then, Li Shimin seemed to see himself when he was young, and he was the same as Li Hao now, at the peak of his youth, a young hero, full of ambition to level the world, and now, he is old, and he is already alone, after the death of the eldest grandson, he has no one to say to his heart.

Li Hao looked up and saw that Li Shimin's expression was very complicated and exciting, and his heart was tight, if there was someone in the world who could make him unable to guess, it was Li Shimin, the mind of the first emperor through the ages was really too difficult to guess, but he still secretly reminded himself that he must be careful, although he has made great contributions, but don't take himself too seriously, Li Shimin's temper does not seem to be too good.

"Poet, get up." He spoke very gently and casually, and he didn't seem to be so easy-going, even to his own sons.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Hao got up slowly, and his armor made a clicking sound.

"You put on this outfit...... Very good. Li Shimin actually wanted to say "very much like I did back then", but thinking that it would frighten Li Hao, he changed his words.

"Thank you Your Majesty for this outfit, Weichen likes it very much."

Li Shimin sighed when he heard this: "My things are naturally the best in the world, who doesn't like them." ”

Li Hao's heart was shocked when he heard this, he really didn't know how to take it, could it be that Li Shimin was hinting at something, his things are indeed the best in the world, such as the Tang Dynasty.
