Lanling covered the moon

Chapter 173

The whole Luoyang was full of joy, and the Emperor Gao Zhan of the Northern Qi Dynasty came to Luoyang in person, and the morale of the soldiers and civilians was greatly boosted.So the lanterns and festoons were put up, and the interior and exterior of the Luoyang palace was renovated, so that the emperor Gao Zhan could live comfortably and satisfactorily in the palace of the ancient capital. Although he didn't know how long the emperor would stay in Luoyang, But the Vientiane Shrine, the Hall of Eternal Life, the Hall of Immortals, the Hall of Yaoguang and other inner palaces that have been dusty for a long time are all inlaid with gold and jade, and are full of jewels.When Luoyang was besieged back then, I didn't see so many local nobles and nobles bringing their slaves to defend the city. It's just that as soon as the army retreated this week, the famous families and dignitaries showed up in an endless stream. Yes, Lawyer Hu's father is busy with military affairs every day, but the people who can come to invite banquets still step on the threshold, and outside the Yingtian Gate of the Luoyang Palace, there are crowds of people kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times to see the true face of the emperor.

Luoyang is really a rich place, and the tributes are lined up from the palace gate to the official road.Out of the palace gate, there were a lot of house slaves who were carrying burdens, and many big red sedan chairs were still parked in front of the palace gate. Zimo saw that those masters kept giving bribes to the eunuchs who guarded the gate. The young lady in the sedan chair must be a beautiful woman, if she enters the Luoyang Palace, the emperor will be able to make her a concubine as soon as she meets her. . . . . .

"Your Majesty has not yet become an empress, and he is so handsome. Naturally, all the noble daughters in Luoyang are yearning for it. I don't know if His Highness Chang Gong has a lot of papers coming up this morning to ask His Highness to see you, but I don't know His Highness. Want to see... or not?" An Rui, who was following behind, tentatively asked Zi Mo, and the cold-faced His Royal Highness Lan Ling turned around and sent him away: "Go back, I have something to do!... ...so good to serve His Majesty, His Majesty has traveled a long distance to Luoyang, and he may not be acclimatized, so cook him some millet porridge, make it softer." This instruction is completely superfluous, where is the emperor who is not served thoughtfully?But Zimo's feet were empty, his chest was stuffed with stones, and he didn't know what he said.An Rui has been following Gao Zhan's side, how could he not know the mystery, even he was stunned for a moment, very surprised, before he could recover, His Highness Chang Gong disappeared in a flash.

Weird. . . . . .Why did His Highness Lanling suddenly care about His Majesty?

Zimo panicked for no reason, tugged at his hair that was hanging down his chest, turned over on a tall horse led by Che Yan, and ran straight towards the posthouse.

"Your Highness, you drank too much last night. His Majesty didn't blame you, did he?" the car guard asked straightforwardly with a concerned face.

. . . . . .Zimo curled his lips and glanced at Che Yan, who didn't mention which pot was which pot. There were so many people making a fuss last night, why didn't anyone stop him!The disaster he caused really seemed to split the sky, so what's the use of worrying now? !

Che Yan couldn't help but asked anxiously under Zimo's gaze: "It's serious? Your Highness, what mistake did you make to offend Long Yan? ...... No, if this is the case, how can your Highness go out of the palace in a leisurely manner? What? Uncle and nephew are uncles and nephews. I see that His Majesty really cares for you deeply. Last night you smelled so much alcohol that even the rest of us wanted to run away. Your Majesty even asked you to rest in the palace. Are you uncle and nephew? Ah, Your Majesty really doesn’t treat you as an outsider!” Che Yan said that he was quite moved, and Zi Mo, who was riding the horse in front of him, already looked like shit, and he could only breathe a sigh of relief except for whipping the horsewhip. Spit out blood.

The shops in the street market reopened, the lanterns were hung high, and when His Majesty the Emperor came, even the river water was three cents more expensive.

"Mom, buy me a visor!" Zi Mo heard a child say coquettishly pointing at a wall.Zimo looked in that direction, and there were really masks hanging on the wall, some with animal faces, and some with hideous ghost faces. Strange to say, they seemed to be riding a horse, and there were such masks for sale in the markets on both sides.

"What is this for? When did Luoyang produce ghost noodles?" Zi Mo asked Che Yan.

"Your Highness doesn't know, the novelties that emerged in Luoyang City this night are all because of you, Your Highness, Chang Gong! It is said that you are wearing this mask, like a ghost, blocking the tens of thousands of Zhou troops from stopping at Mangshan Mountain. In the meantime, the people in the city admire your bravery, and the children even regard you as a great hero, the god of war Lanling, the ghost face and iron armor, not many people want to buy a mask to go home, even if it is a town house to exorcise evil spirits! Children playing games are vying to be the hero who wears a ghost mask!" Che Yan said with pride.

"Oh, the common people really love me. If you want to talk about military merits, I am not the only one. However, Brother Yan, the third master, the fourth master and thousands of brothers in the Xiliang army, as well as Xiong San'er and brother Lin Xiaoru, all of them are not the same. If you are willing to have a face-to-face with my master's regular reinforcements, you will all go back to the mountain early, if they don't avoid suspicion, I must reward them for their merits!" Zi Mo sighed.

"Your Highness, they also understand that the prince's private support of the army will make people suspicious, so they don't leave the military merits first, and Brother Lin, Xiong San'er, and the others seem to have lost some interest in the flattery and entertainment in the officialdom, but they hid back. You have been sneaking away. My lord, you are always fair. Even if they don’t get the emperor’s reward, how can you lose them if you get the benefits yourself? Let me say, they are slippery loaches. The scene may not be there. By the way, I have already made an agreement with them at Sui Xiaoyong's place. The matter of the Xiliang Army is considered to be a common secret for everyone, and we will not talk about it. After all, we have lived and died together. Your ability is also sincerely convinced, let me say that you were their leader in the first battle of Mangshan, and there is no such thing as betraying your superiors. As a soldier, you will definitely not be double-faced and lose your integrity. Let me convey this loyalty to His Highness so you can rest assured! "Che Yan reported.

"Actually, it's not that I want to support the Xiliang army in private, but many of them have criminal records. I'm afraid that they have hurriedly informed the court about this matter. When the time comes, there will be another incident with the Song court in Jiankang. Go to war. Besides, it is true that they committed crimes, I also want them to change their minds and make more military achievements before going to the memorial to clarify." Zimo said.

"Yes, Your Highness has considered it carefully. Besides, this is indeed not the opportunity for you to report this matter to His Majesty. In fact, His Highness probably doesn't know that after the battle of Jinyang, you, King Lanling, are already famous and famous in Kyushu. In addition, you are in Luoyang. Your military exploits are very different today. Your Highness, you should be more cautious. Many veterans in the court stood on the side of Emperor Wenxuan and gained a firm foothold in the court by purging your father's followers. Xiu Yulin, I am afraid that if I go back to Yecheng, I will be criticized and red-eyed by others. I was worried that His Majesty the Emperor would come to Luoyang in person to fear and doubt you, but now it seems that I am overwhelmed Yes. Your Highness, are you still going back to Yecheng?" Che Yan asked

. . . . . . "Let's discuss this matter later. It's important to go and see Mr. Murong's condition today. Has his high fever subsided?" Zi Mo rode his horse and galloped, as if he wanted to leave all annoying things far behind.

"Well, the doctor said that the wind and cold entered the body. Although the high fever has subsided, you still need to rest for a few days. After all, Mr. Murong is the first person to defend Luoyang. He is the only one who dares to lead the army out of the city to meet the enemy. With his resistance, I am afraid that Luoyang will not be able to wait for the support of the Luodiao Governor. If Luoyang is occupied, the army will find a way to capture the occupied city, and I don't know how many people will die inside and outside the city... It's a pity that the people of Luoyang don't buy Murong Chong's account, and Xiao Yi is a cunning and cunning man. He said that it was his order to go out of the city to fight against the enemy, and took away other people's achievements in a word. Mr. Murong He has a special status, so it may be difficult for someone in the army to say something fair for him." Che Yan defended Murong Chong, he admired people with strong bones the most, so he said a few more words in front of Zi Mo.

"It's okay, I will report this matter to the emperor. Those who have meritorious service should be rewarded according to their merits, and Murong Chong deserves this military merit!"

Speeding all the way, the posthouse arrived soon.

The wounded soldiers were all being treated by military doctors in the Qi army camp, Murong Chong was not counted in the Qi army, so they could only be arranged in this remote place.After entering the inn, the guards there looked at His Royal Highness Lanling who had heard the name for a long time with a flattering face, and helped Zi Mo lead the way like a dog's leg: "Mr. My place really makes my inn shine!" It is said that he was treated as a distinguished guest, but Murong Chong's room was in the corner of the inn, and several Rouran cavalrymen who met Zimo saw Lan When the mausoleum came down, they all stepped forward to salute.

Zimo clasped his fists and said: "On behalf of the people of Luoyang, Chang Gong would like to thank the warriors of the Red Blood Iron Cavalry for charging forward to defend the city. They are just and comfortable in their hearts. The Northern Qi will never forget the righteousness of today's warriors who went through fire and water."

"Your Highness, you are welcome! We are acting under orders, and we have to be treated so generously by Your Highness, I dare not take it!" In fact, the Rouran cavalry who followed Murong to Luoyang had resentment, but at this moment, after hearing Gao Changgong say this, they put away their elongated faces After a while, the anger also subsided a little.Dolly was good at dealing with people from the Central Plains, so he cupped his fists in return to smooth things over.

Talking with the Rouran soldiers outside the door, Murong Chong inside couldn't sit still lying on the bed, this savage guy, he came as soon as he came, and he was forgotten standing and talking outside the door!

"Cough... Who is coming outside the door?" With a hoarse voice, Zimo thought that Mr. Murong had become Lin Daiyu at this moment, and he could still vomit a few mouthfuls of blood after taking out the handkerchief.

"I, Gao Changgong came to pay respects to Mr. Murong." Zi Mo bowed politely in front of the door.

Murong Chong fell asleep for a day and a night because of the wind and cold for the past two days, and when he woke up, he heard that the Northern Qi Emperor had personally come to Luoyang to host a banquet in honor of the three armies, and he was a little depressed.Several subordinates of the cavalry department comforted him by saying that the Northern Qi people were ungrateful, but they were not worth saving at all. When they rushed forward, they thought of them as foreigners, and when they were celebrating with wine and meat, they were all forgotten.Indignantly, Duo Li felt that Murong Chong's displeasure was mostly not because of some military reward.

"Your Highness, since our lord is awake, you can go in. Let's feed the horses, which have been tired these days!" Dolly dragged a few warriors down together, and Zimo took out some lawyer father Hu Ask Che Yan to send the bank note to Rouran.Although Lawyer Hu's father was merciless in his mouth, his heart was like a mirror. How could the commander of the reinforcements not understand the contribution of the Red Blood Iron Cavalry?It's just that they failed to make it public and gave them legitimate rewards, which disappointed these brave cavalry who bled and worked for Luoyang.

Zimo dismissed the man, opened the door and entered.

Murong Chong turned his back to him, supported his head with his arms, as if waiting for him to come in with a dignified posture, making Zimo bow his head and let out a muffled laugh.
