The next day, Li Qing got up early in the morning, as soon as the sky was bright, he got up, Qingfeng, who was still very weak, also struggled to get up to help Li Qing freshen up, meticulously combed his hair, put on the underwear he sewed by himself, covered the outer robe, and then put on the armor one by one, put on the helmet, hung up the waist knife, stood in front of Li Qing, looked up and down for a long time, and then said with satisfaction: "Okay, there should be no problem." ”

When he was in Dingzhou, Li Qing had been busy to death, either planning how to survive, or working desperately on the battlefield, occasionally having a little free time, and having to dig out his mind to fight with Xiao Yuanshan and others, there was time to pay attention to grooming and appearance, until he was with Qingfeng, with Qingfeng's supervision, he paid a little attention, but most of the time was still mud on rainy days, gray in the eyes, untidy, disheveled, stinking clothes and couldn't remember to change, a piece of armor was scarred and scurrying around on his body, How has it ever been as glamorous as it is today? Brand new clothes, bright armor, blue-shaved cheeks, as the saying goes, the Buddha wants gold, people want clothes, Li Qing dressed up like this, but it made Qingfeng's eyes shine, Li Qing was originally good-looking, after the baptism of war, the struggle between life and death, the original handsome face has more perseverance, a calmness, and an inexplicable temperament that makes Qingfeng inexplicable, partial life is this temperament that can attract people the most, it seems that as long as he goes to a station, he can naturally become the focus.

"You know the rules and regulations in the palace, right? The prelude to the king is right, the etiquette must not be abandoned, if something goes wrong in this, it is easy for people to grasp the handle, and the emperor will not like it. Qingfeng admonished.

"Don't worry!" Li Qingdao: "Yesterday, the second uncle told me these things carefully, there will be no problems, anyway, today is just a summons of the program surname, it won't take long, the emperor just knows me and says something about the scene." ”

"That said, but be careful." Qingfeng tidied up the red cherry blossoms on Li Qing's hat.

Seeing Qingfeng's still slightly sickly face, Li Qing held her hands distressedly, and said: "Okay, okay, it's okay, after I leave, you can just sleep and take care of your body, the medicine sent by the doctor is for Zhong Jing to decoction, you must take it on time, I will move after I come back, and I will not be able to live in peace for a day." ”

Qingfeng smiled: "That's so weak, there's no problem, I'll go to bed again when you leave." ”

Li Qing took her hand, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and said, "That's fine, I'm coming back to check." Letting go of the breeze, he turned around and opened the door, and walked out, Yang Yidao was already waiting outside the door, and the horses outside the post house were also ready.

In the room, Qingfeng's eyes were moist, staring at the direction where Li Qing disappeared stupidly, and after a while, he walked over to cover the door, climbed back onto the bed, pulled the quilt and hid his whole body.

The Great Chu Imperial City is located in the very center of Luoyang, just in the middle of the cross of the city, divided into the inner city and the outer city, the outer city is surrounded by a moat, the four corners of the city wall have corner towers, the triple eaves seventy-two ridges, the shape is gorgeous. The city wall opens the door on all sides, the main gate is the most prominent, it plane is in the shape of "concave", open three doors in the middle, open one door on both sides, the city tower is in the middle of the heavy eaves palace top nine halls, there are corner pavilions at the end of both sides, connect with the corridor, the five roofs are shaped like five Danfeng wings, so it is called "five phoenix floors".

Walk along the bridge deck paved with white jade slabs to the square in front of the outer city, pass through the gate tightly guarded by the Imperial Forest Army, and enter the outer city, the first thing that catches your eye is the thousand-step corridor, the east of the corridor (left) is the temple, the west of the corridor (right) is the altar of the community, and there are many courtyards on the left and right, the vast buildings are distinct, echoing before and after, symmetrical and orderly, Rao is Li Qing is used to seeing the big scene, but suddenly seeing such a brilliant palace group, it is still the heart is shocked, and the previous life is not without going to the Forbidden City, But it has become a tourist attraction, and there is no longer half of the solemn atmosphere in front of you.

Most of the ministers who came to prepare for the early dynasty had gathered in the Taihe Hall where the emperor was handling government affairs to summon the ministers, just waiting for the official start of the early dynasty, Li Qing swept his eyes, basically did not know, only the second uncle hurriedly came over and said hello to him, Li retreated's move, and immediately let the ministers who were waiting here understand who this young general was, whispering sounded, and many people pointed at Li Qing, which made Li Qing very uncomfortable, and there was a feeling of being watched in the zoo.

A eunuch hurriedly walked over, standing in the middle of the crowd and looking around, but Li Qing recognized that the person was Huang Gonggong who had gone to Dingzhou to preach the holy decree, and just as he was strange, Huang Gonggong had already seen Li Qing, and immediately ran over with a happy face, "General Li, it turns out that you are here, but let our family be easy to find!" ”

Li Qing looked at him strangely, although Gonggong Huang fed him in Dingzhou, but it was not for him to come here to make friends with him, you must know that there is a difference between inside and outside, Da Chu is a friendship between Gonggong and foreign ministers in the Yan Chu Dynasty.

"I don't know what my father-in-law is looking for Li?" Li Qing asked in a low voice, the conversation between the two made Li Qing, who was already watched, even more eye-catching at this time, and the ministers of the ministries and courts, who were still a little reserved and unwilling to lose their dignity, turned their eyes to Li Qing.

"General Li, you are really in the heart of the emperor, Your Majesty asked our family to come to General Xuan to wait in the Zhonghe Palace, so there is no need to go to court with these ministers." Huang Gonggong laughed a little flattering, originally he was just a eunuch who was not very valued in the palace, and he was able to go to Dingzhou to pass the decree because the big eunuchs did not want to go to Dingzhou, a bitter cold and war-torn place, so it fell on his head, and he didn't want to go to Dingzhou, but he made a lot of money and returned, and he was full of gratitude to Li Qing, this time the emperor wanted to meet Li Qing alone, because he was the only one who recognized Li Qing, so he sent it to the emperor again, this time, but the emperor personally ordered, this time, it was considered to show his face in front of the emperor, As long as the emperor remembers himself, he will say that he can wait, there are thousands of eunuchs in the palace, in addition to those emperor's close attendants, how many people can the emperor remember?

Hearing this, not only Li Qing, but also the ministers who were closer to Li Qing were also surprised, the general of the foreign state army returned to Beijing to report on his work, according to the convention, he only met in the early dynasty, and the emperor said a few words of comfort to the end, why did the emperor summon Li Qing alone this time?

Li Qing, who was confused, had to follow the joyful Huang Gonggong to the inner court, leaving his eyes all the way behind him, in the crowd, Li Huizhi's brows were tightly locked, thinking hard about the emperor's intentions?

Untie the saber and hand it to the palace guards guarding in front of the palace gate, Li Qing followed Huang Gonggong into the inner city, but the inside is another scenery, in addition to the atmosphere that is similar to the outside, it has added some elegance, the middle and the hall is the place where the emperor usually rests, there is a small garden in front of the palace, it is early summer, the flowers are in full bloom, a fragrance is pervasive, and the willows are clear.

Walking into the Zhonghe Palace, Gonggong Huang greeted Li Qing diligently, not only brought a brocade stool for him, but also let the little eunuch make tea, "The general sat down for a while, this early dynasty is not a matter of a while, and the ministers of the court and the central government will have a quarrel every time they are in the morning, and they will not be able to finish in a few hours." ”

Li Qing looked at the palace guards standing in front of the hall, and the little eunuchs who looked like wooden people standing in the room, and asked cautiously: "Father-in-law Huang, I will not violate the discipline like this, it would not be good if the emperor knew." ”

Huang Gonggong smiled and said: "General, please be relieved, this is all ordered by the emperor, otherwise I won't dare to borrow a few guts!" The emperor said that the general didn't have to go to the early court to listen to those wordy words, nonsense, but he waited here with peace of mind, and the emperor came to summon the general after the dynasty. ”

Li Qing, who was confused, stuffed a silver ticket into Huang Gonggong's hand without a trace, "Huang Gonggong, can you reveal a little bit about why the emperor summoned me alone?" ”

Gonggong Huang glanced at the little eunuch, stuffed the silver ticket into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Well, general, you better wait, you will know in a while, Your Majesty is interested in your battle to defeat the barbarians, and I want to hear you tell you in detail!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Qing knew that this Huang Gonggong didn't know at all, and the hundred taels of silver were lost. He had no choice but to sit in the middle and hall, patiently waiting for the emperor of the Apocalypse to come and solve his doubts.
