Eat a pot of rice wine to welcome the king's master.

From a small town on the border of the Western Regions to today's proud and prosperous capital of the Tang Dynasty, the officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army spent two years under the leadership of Gu Qing.

Hundreds of thousands of people surrounded the streets of Chang'an City. The soldiers of the Anxi Army entered the city in great force. The people along the way cheered like landslides and the earth was shattering. The soldiers went from being at a loss, to being nervous, to adapting, and finally standing up.

He walked into Chang'an City with his chest raised and his ambition high.

Each of their armors were stained with blood, some from their enemies and some from their own.

Their weapons are old, their faces, hands and arms are covered with scars, and their young faces show the color of vicissitudes of life. They have all rolled and fought on the edge of life and death. They walked step by step from Anxi with blood and fire.

The capital of the Tang Dynasty.

The common people stood on both sides of the street, watching the groups of mighty soldiers passing by that exuded a faint rust-like smell of blood. From a distance, they could smell the smoke and dust on the battlefield. The smell was so sharp that it was scary.

The momentum gradually spread from the streets they passed.

This is an iron army that has experienced such cruel and bloody battles.

The cheers of the people did not stop.

The murderous spirit in the officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army gave the people a strong sense of security.

When Gu Qing entered the city, the smile on his face never stopped. The people were too enthusiastic and he couldn't act too arrogant.

It took more than an hour to walk from Jinguangmen to Zhuque Street.

When he was approaching Taiji Palace, Gu Qing turned to Chang Zhong and asked, "Has the palace sent troops to garrison?"

Chang Zhong said: "The palace has not sent troops yet, everyone is waiting for the prince to enter the palace first."

Gu Qing frowned: "Why?"

Chang Zhong grinned and said: "I have heard a saying that the first person to enter the Tang Palace will rule the world, so the first person to enter the palace is naturally the father-in-law. No one dares to enter first."

Gu Qing was a little angry and said: "Where did you hear these nonsense? Did you generals drift away after entering Chang'an? What about singing and dancing in Taichang Temple, and about those who enter the Tang Palace to rule the world? What do you think we are doing? The Anxi Army is still here today

Tang Dynasty’s army, do you think we have raised a flag of rebellion?”

Chang Zhong shuddered, lowered his head in a hurry and said: "I don't dare, it's because I am reckless."

Gu Qing said coldly: "Send troops into the palace and take over the defense of the palace. No one is allowed to touch any plant or tree in the palace without permission. Anyone who violates this will be killed."

"yes!"

Chang Zhong said cautiously: "Master, would you like to visit the palace now?"

Gu Qing shook his head: "I will not enter the palace anymore, and you will take over the defense."

Sighing, Gu Qing said: "My identity is quite sensitive. Before the emperor returns to Chang'an, you can enter the palace, but I can't, otherwise others will talk about it."

Chang Zhong nodded: "Yes, I understand. So where will my future residence be..."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Of course I live in my old house. Although the house is not big, it was a reward from the Supreme Emperor."

Chang Zhong couldn't bear to say: "My father is no longer what he used to be. Even if you don't want to be blamed, you don't have to be so cautious. Only by changing to a bigger house can you be worthy of your status. Chang'an City is already under our control."

, No matter which house my father-in-law has his eye on, I will arrange it for him right away."

"The higher your status, the greater your power, the more you must be cautious in your words and deeds. If you are distracted today, there will be bad retribution tomorrow. Don't worry about my residence. Instead, you and other generals will come to my house tomorrow to discuss matters."

I am very dissatisfied with your words and deeds after the city, so I have to beat you up."

After speaking, Gu Qing gave Chang Zhong a stern look. Chang Zhong felt a chill on the back of his neck and laughed a few times in awe.

"I am now issuing an order to all the officers and men in the army. After entering Chang'an City, it is strictly forbidden to harass the people, looting, and molesting women. You are not allowed to take anything offered by the people. You must politely refuse. I will give the soldiers what they want. Don't harm the people.

Violators will be killed."

Chang Zhong hurriedly turned around and sent the order.

Gu Qing thought for a while and ordered someone to call Song Gensheng.

It was much easier to deal with Song Gensheng. This guy didn't have that much respect for Gu Qing. He hurriedly came to Gu Qing and immediately said, "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. The army has just entered the city. I, a marching commander, have too many things to do."

Gu Qing said with a smile: "The rear army has civil servants, grain officers, recorders who join the army, and weapons supervisors. Everyone performs their own duties. You, a commander, don't have to do everything personally. You can leave specific small things to the subordinate officers below. This

This is also the secret of being an official. How did Zhuge Liang die? He was interfering in everything and had no trust in the subordinate officials below. He died of exhaustion."

Song Gensheng sighed: "In your position, you should plan your political affairs. Since you are an official, you must work hard on everything, otherwise it will be dereliction of duty."

Gu Qing shook his head: "So, I am the commander of an army, and I have one hundred thousand soldiers under my command. Aren't I exhausted to death? But look at me, I eat barbecue and drink wine every day, and I only call in every big event.

The generals discussed it, and it is much more comfortable to be an official than you are."

Song Gensheng glanced at him with disdain and said: "I'm just lazy, why do I need to say it so fresh and refined? If it weren't for the capable civil servants and military officers under your command, they would allow you to live a comfortable life?"

Gu Qing exclaimed: "I haven't seen you for a long time. You are much more confident than before. What makes you so proud? Without mentioning your identity and official position, I just want to ask you, are you not afraid of being beaten by me?"

Song Gensheng hesitated, then gritted his teeth and said, "You are now the Duke of the country. You are no longer the wild boy from the village. Can you be more dignified? Are you afraid that others will laugh at you if you dare to beat me?"

Gu Qing thought for a while and said: "I really don't care about dignity. Besides, you are the one who gets beaten, you are the joke."

After saying that, Gu Qing decisively hooked Song Gensheng's neck, caught him off guard and clamped him under his arm, clenched his other hand into a fist, and drilled hard on Song Gensheng's head...

Song Gensheng struggled and screamed, which indeed attracted the attention of countless bystanders. Next to them were the generals of the Anxi Army. Everyone looked dumbfounded as Gu Qing personally taught Song Gensheng a lesson. Song Gensheng was like a monkey that had been squeezed out of urine by the Tathagata Buddha's big hand.

He was clawing and kicking but couldn't break free.

After a long time, Gu Qing finally let go of him, and sighed with unfinished content, saying: "I haven't used such sharp moves for many years, and I am a bit rusty. If you were the same person back then, you should be like a puddle of snot stuck to the ground now..."

Song Gensheng kept rubbing his head and said angrily: "Gu Qing, how old are we, how can we still play like this!"

Gu Qing said leisurely: "You haven't told Xiu'er about the fifteen-year-old brothel girl, right?"

Song Gensheng was startled and hurriedly bowed to Gu Qing respectfully: "I was wrong, but you taught me the right lesson."

Gu Qing wiped his hands with satisfaction and said: "When I went back to wash my hair, my hands were so oily and dirty. If you search patiently, maybe there is a hair washing room in Chang'an City..."

Song Gensheng sighed, reluctantly agreed, then rubbed his head and walked back.

After walking a few steps, Song Gensheng suddenly felt something was wrong and hurriedly walked back: "No, you asked people to come to me just to beat me up?"

Gu Qing was also stunned and said subconsciously: "What else?"

Song Gensheng said angrily: "Gu Qing, how boring are you!"

Just as he was about to walk away, Gu Qing remembered something and stopped him again: "By the way, I remembered. I'll remove you from the position of Marching Sima first and give you another job to do."

"What errand?"

"Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, a fourth-grade official, is more senior than Sima. I will take office today and take over the government office of Chang'an City. You will assign the officials of each district in the city, Wuhou, to investigate criminal cases, steal, patrol the streets, and question suspicious people.

You are responsible for things like that. After the Anxi Army enters the city, the security of Chang'an City must not be disrupted."

Song Gensheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Xian Yujieshuai's place..."

Gu Qing said dissatisfiedly: "I appointed it myself, who has any objections?"

Song Gensheng said helplessly: "Okay, I will take over Jingzhao Mansion immediately."

Gu Qing said deeply: "I will allocate two thousand more soldiers to you. Remember, they must be impartial and impartial. As long as someone violates the king's law, no matter how senior he is, he will be questioned. Anyone who dares to disobey will be sent to you."

Tell me and I will cure him."

Song Gensheng nodded, turned and left.

Gu Qing stood at the intersection of Zhuque Street, squinted his eyes and looked at the eaves of the Tai Chi Palace in front of him, and then smiled.

As if remembering something, Gu Qing turned around and asked Han Jie: "Yang...where is Sister Yuhuan at this time?"

Han Jie scratched his head, feeling a little uncomfortable with Gu Qing's address, and said: "Noble concubine...Mrs. Yang is in the rear army, traveling with the food, grass and baggage. She must have just entered the city at this time."

Gu Qing nodded, mounted his horse and marched towards the rear army.

Yang Yuhuan rode a large carriage with two horses and a shaft. In terms of ceremonial regulations, it was much smaller than when she was a noble concubine. However, this was Yang Yuhuan's own request. She no longer regarded herself as a noble concubine, but an ordinary person.

Folk women.

Riding his horse to Yang Yuhuan's carriage, Gu Qing ordered the carriage to stop and stood politely outside the carriage and said: "Sister, we have entered Chang'an City. What do you want for a residence? If you don't mind, I will give it to you."

My sister is looking for a big house, some servants, maids, and a kabuki ensemble..."

The curtain of the carriage opened, revealing Yang Yuhuan's stunning face. She was obviously in her thirties, but she looked like a girl in her early twenties.

"Brother, there is no need to be extravagant. Since you call me sister, I will live in your former mansion and outsiders will not be able to say anything."

Gu Qing hesitated and said: "Sister, my mansion is small, with only two entrances to the house, the mansion is quite simple..."

"It doesn't matter, I have seen too much luxury and waste, and I can't ask for the simple life now."

Gu Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister, if you want to go to Xingqing Palace or the Yang Family Mansion again, I can send my personal guards to escort you there."

Yang Yuhuan shook his head and said sadly: "When I return to Chang'an, it's already a different life. All the things that happened back then are the cause and effect of the previous life and have nothing to do with my current life. After the rebellion is put down, my brother, please find a Taoist temple for me far away from the world. The fireworks in the world will be with me."

Enough has been seen."

Gu Qing had no choice but to order the carriage to drive to his old house in Qinrenfang.

Counting the days, the last time he returned to his home was before Anlu Mountain rebelled. At that time, Li Longji recalled him from Anxi, which was thousands of miles away. After serving as a right-guard general for a few days, he immediately ordered him to return to Anxi.

Lead the army to enter the pass and put down the rebellion.
