Chapter 284: Meeting

There is Ziwei Palace in the sky, which is where God lives. The king sets up the palace and makes it look like it.

After a night of rest, Li Ze wore a martial arts crown and a purple robe. He usually used to bringing the cloud sword and sea sword around him to a golden sword, and wearing a goldfish talisman on his waist. He appeared outside the Luoyang Palace City and Ziwei City.

Ziwei City was the most magnificent and magnificent palace group in the world at that time. The architectural shape was amazing and affected the palace construction of East Asian countries. Mingtang and heaven were unique and became a wonder of the world. Ziwei City covers an area of ​​about 4.2 square kilometers, six times that of Beijing's Forbidden City in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Its architectural concept will also be inherited by Beijing's Forbidden City in later generations. In that era, Ziwei City was definitely the most magnificent, most spectacular, and luxurious palace city in the world that reflected the highest level of architectural craftsmanship in the world at that time.

As a political center with a similar status as Chang'an, Dongdu has the Tang Dynasty and countless major events that influence the world all start from here.

Now, Li Ze is standing in front of this palace city. He stared at the palace city in front of him, but deep in his heart, he was filled with emotion. In Chinese history, many such spectacular scenes were destroyed by war. Ziwei City in front of him suffered major damage in the riot that swept across the country more than ten years ago. Although it was restored later, it was difficult to return to the past.

Imagine that these civilizations last forever and become eternal historical symbols, rather than being destroyed again and again in the changes of history, then a powerful central government must place them under its wings.

Today, he officially visited King Fu Li Xin. Although Li Ze had been with Li Xin a few days ago, the two sides did not formally discuss anything. Although King Fu Li Xin was bloated, he was indeed a person who had a significant influence on the emperor. As a royal family, he was able to hold power and guard the Dongdu, which itself shows the emperor's attention and trust in him.

According to Gongsun Changming's introduction, this King of Fu Li Xin is indeed a shrewd and capable person.

It is very important for Li Ze to gain Li Xin's trust.

The Fu King's Eastern Capital Defense Envoy's Mansion is located in the left-jack city of Ziwei Palace, only separated from the palace city by an east-jack city. Today, the left-jack city is obviously different from the past. At the sight, the flags are waving and the soldiers are clearly armored. Tall soldiers wearing golden armor and holding spears and halberds stand solemnly. This made Li Mi and Chen Changping, who followed Li Ze, tense up their nerves and become a little nervous.

"Jingshou, what is the name of King Fu? Could it be the Hongmen Banquet?" Chen Changping asked in a low voice, only regretting that he did not bring his big bow.

Li Ze smiled, and before he could speak, Gongsun Changming beside him laughed: "Chen Changping, it's not simple. He actually knows that Hongmen Banquet is here. It seems that he has read a lot of books over the past year!"

Chen Changping looked at the faces of the two and knew that he must have been embarrassed. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "Jie Shuai said that as a general, he should read more books, especially history books and military books, so that he can only stand alone in the future. Although Changping was born in a humble and didn't know much literacy, he is also working hard to read now."

Gongsun Changming nodded, "That's it. King Fu didn't want to make a name for himself. These golden armored warriors are just ceremonial guards. You didn't see their spears and halberds wrapped around them, which shows respect for the Qishou. Today, the Qishou official visit, so he naturally has to take out his prince's complete set of Qishou's guards, otherwise, he will be disrespectful to our Qishou."

"There are so many things to pay attention to?" Chen Changping said astonished.

"What's this? You haven't seen it yet? Follow the young master, you will see more in the future." Gongsun Changming said lightly.

Chen Changping was at most a ranger before. Of course, the ranger was just a nice title. In the official, they also had a formal title called "Rogues". In the turbulent times, these people roared and thought they were chivalrous. However, in the peaceful times, people like them were the targets of key attacks. From time to time, they would be captured by the official and sent to the border areas to act as coolies, or to expand their territory.

Such people naturally have no higher knowledge. That is, after Chen Changping followed Li Ze, as Li Ze's status gradually increased, he finally began to come into contact with the levels that he had never imagined before.

A tall and thin official, wearing a fifth-rank official uniform and wearing a silverfish talisman, stood solemnly outside the gate of the defensive envoy. Seeing Li Ze and his group approaching, they immediately rushed up and clasped their fists to serve as a greeting: "The Eastern Capital Defense Envoy is the director of the military officer Niu Furen, who has met Jieshuai and Mr. Gongsun."

Li Ze bowed slightly to return the gift.

"Ship Li, Your Highness is already waiting in the lobby, please!" Niu Furen looked at the young Jieshuai in front of him. Although his eyes were strange, his words and deeds were not rude at all.

"I'll help Zhu Zongjun lead the way!" Li Zedao. Under the defensive commander, two deputys, Chief Secretary and Record Officer, were appointed. This person is the third real-powerful figure in the Dongdu.

King Fu Li Xin stood at the gate of the lobby. When he saw Li Ze coming in, his face was filled with smiles, crossed the high threshold and came out.

"The governor of Henghai, General Qianniu Guard, have seen Your Highness." Li Ze bowed to the ground.

Li Xin laughed: "Why should Li Shuai be so polite? Please come in quickly." He held Li Ze's hand with one hand, took him side by side and walked inward. This made Li Ze a little helpless. It seemed that the way His Highness Fu King expressed his affection was like holding the other party's hand. In the past few days, he had been held tightly by Li Xin countless times. He was held by a pair of fat, soft fat hands, and a pair of men's hands, which made Li Ze very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, when he entered the lobby, Li Xin let go and invited Li Ze and Gongsun Changming to sit down.

On the wall facing the gate, a five-clawed, green dragon flying in the clouds shows the identity of the owner, reminding everyone who comes here that the owner of this lobby is a prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xin did not sit in the main case between the middle hall, but sat opposite Li Ze, which made Li Ze feel a lot more comfortable. As the Eastern Capital Defense Inspector, Li Xin and His Highness the Prince, whether it is the importance of the official position or his identity, they are naturally higher than Li Ze. However, now Li Xin puts himself in the same position as Li Ze, so he has some meaning of making up for the silence.

Li Xin clapped his hands, and several female officials entered from the back hall and presented tea to the people in the lobby. Female officials are not qualified to be used by ordinary people. Looking at their body and pace, they were obviously trained since childhood. This was the first time Li Ze saw a real female official in the Tang Dynasty, and his eyes couldn't help but stayed on them for a while.

"I knew that Jieshuai liked to make tea with boiled water, but for a moment, I couldn't find the tea that Jieshuai liked, so I could only make it simple. People below also know how to make it both good in color, fragrance and taste. Don't blame Jieshuai!" Li Xin said with a smile.

Li Ze smiled and said, "Your Highness is polite. You don't like red tape, and you prefer to be clean and neat in your work. You just feel that cooking tea is too delaying your time. A pinch of tea leaves and soaking boiling water can experience the bitterness and sweetness. Because of this, you are often criticized by your mother as a humiliating kindness."

Li Xin laughed: "Jingshuai said it well, it is best to do things cleanly and neatly. We are the martial artists of our generation, so we should do this."

Li Ze smiled and said, "Your Highness, this time I came to Dongdu, I have also brought you my homemade green tea, black tea and other gifts, and accompanied by a booklet on how to brew. Although the gift is light, I hope your Highness will accept it with a smile."

"Jiashuai actually makes tea?" Li Xin's face was slightly different.

"Do it occasionally!" Li Ze smiled and picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip. "Watching the green leaves slowly forming in his hands and eventually becoming the best good tea, this kind of pleasure is not worthy of being told to outsiders."

Li Xin nodded slightly. The court naturally learned a lot about Li Ze through various channels, and had a rough understanding of this person's experience and personality. This person is completely different from ordinary second-generation people in the town, whether in terms of experience or in their methods of doing things.

A person who grew up under heavy pressure is naturally different from a person who grew up under a worry-free environment. However, it is precisely because of this that Li Ze is created in front of him.

"Jingshuai is so cool, I don't talk much nonsense." After taking a few sips of tea, Li Xin went straight in: "What do you think of Zhang Zhongwu when Jieshuai?"

"This person is worthy of being a hero for a while." Li Ze said concisely. "For more than ten years, Lu Long has been managed to become a solid piece. The officers and soldiers under his command have used their lives and have extremely strong combat power."

"How about you compare to Jishuai?"

"I am not his opponent now!" Li Ze shook his head and said, "It is thanks to the fact that Gao Pian and Gao Shuai of Hedong have restrained Zhang Zhongwu's main force, and it is because Zhang Zhongwu did not regard me as his main opponent."

"Kei Shuai fought to Yingzhou!"

"The conspiracy is not worth mentioning!" Li Ze said: "Yingzhou is just a partial teacher Zhang Zhongwu."

"Super Gao lost Daizhou, and the war was already passive. I dare to ask the general Ji, how can he curb Zhang Zhongwu and quell the rebellion?" Li Xin asked.

"This is why I came to Chang'an this time." Li Ze said: "As long as the court allows me to unite the town, gather the sea, achieve virtue, and strengthen the Wu area, even if I cannot defeat Zhang Zhongwu quickly, I can still stop Zhang Zhongwu's ambition to go south. I will give me three or five years to return the court to a north of Taiping."

Li Xin pondered for a moment: "Zhang Zhongwu has been governing Lu Long for more than ten years and has become one. Jieshou, please forgive me for saying that if the three towns are integrated, Jieshou's strength is even better than Zhang Zhongwu's past, will the court's worries, Jieshou may understand?"
