Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 263 Li Hongjie Arrives

"Xue Zhiyi, Li Hongjie, the newly appointed Weize Gatekeeper, will come to the mansion to pay a visit today. Your Highness invites you to accompany me. Please go to Xue Zhiyi at that time."

Early the next morning, Princess Pingyang's people came to spread the word.Xue Lang, who had been tossing and turning like sesame seed cakes on the bed all night, felt a little sluggish, and nodded: "Got it, I'll come over later."

"Here."

The visitor left after delivering the message.Xue Lang looked at the man's back and hesitated to speak, he really wanted to catch up, so he invited someone to send a message to Princess Pingyang, asking her if she had asked someone to take his painting away.But when he thinks of him secretly painting other people's portraits, what if he is beaten as a disciple?
Thinking of his poor strength value, Xue Lang rested his mind again.I hope His Highness can understand that he also has a painter's heart, and when he sees beautiful people and things, he can't help but draw them. This is art, not obscenity!
Art!Art!Art!

Xue Lang silently read it three times to give himself a psychological hint.Taking advantage of the lack of breakfast, he climbed into bed and took a nap to catch up on sleep. He actually fell asleep, which is also a big heart.

After waking up and eating breakfast, he finally regained his energy, changed into his official robes, and then went to the main hall——

Accompany Her Royal Highness to meet Li Hongjie.

When we arrived at the main hall, Princess Pingyang hadn't come yet, but Han Jin, Liu Nuguan, Ye Qing, and Ma Sanbao were already present. Xue Lang went in and bowed his hands to greet them.

Both Ye Qing and Ma Sanbao had military merits, and they had no intention of staying in Weize Pass, so Princess Pingyang decided to transfer them to the Sixteen Guards and follow her to Beijing.

Not long after Xue Lang sat down, Princess Pingyang came, her expression was as calm and calm as before, without any unnaturalness.It made Xue Lang want to ask about the portrait in private, but he didn't know how to ask, and struggled for a while, that's all, he also pretended not to know.

"It is said that Li Hongjie will enter the mansion."

After Princess Pingyang sat down, she ordered someone to spread the word.

After a while, Li Hongjie came in. Although he was not wearing any armor, he was dressed in military uniform. He greeted him according to the ritual: "Your Majesty Li Hongjie pays homage to His Highness Princess An Guo Pingyang, please greet her."

Princess Pingyang said: "General Li is free, please sit down."

Li Hongjie got up, and Princess Pingyang introduced him to the person who will accompany him today.Li Hongjie was very modest, and bowed his fists to everyone present: "Everyone is polite."

Everyone got up and returned the salute.

After meeting each other, Princess Pingyang asked: "General Li has come from a long way, can you settle down well? Can the government office still be accommodated?"

Li Hongjie hurriedly said: "Going back to the princess, I only brought the eldest son to the post, the official office is enough, thank you for your concern."

"That's good. When I went to the post, I had a lot of entourage, and the official office couldn't accommodate me, so I opened another residence, so I have been working in the mansion. Yuexian, can the handover start?"

Princess Pingyang asked Han Jin.Han replied: "Your Highness, the handover will start today. Yesterday, my subordinates have introduced the officials to General Li's subordinates."

"Very good. General Li, for the convenience of you and me, before I leave Weize Pass, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask Yuexian and the others, and I will make it easier for you."

Princess Pingyang acted in a very grand manner as before, and she did not intend to embarrass Li Hongjie.Li Hongjie saluted with gratitude on his face: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, I am very grateful."

Princess Pingyang waved her hand and said: "There are three more days until the winter hunt. I want to leave for Chang'an after the winter hunt. In order to prepare for the departure, this winter hunt will be entrusted to General Li. I hope General Li will make preparations early. "

Li Hongjie was even more grateful now, he knew that this was an opportunity for Princess Pingyang to establish his prestige and familiarize himself with the soldiers.Princess Pingyang has been imprisoned in Weize for nearly four years, and she has accumulated a lot of prestige. The army here has almost been cast in the shadow of Princess Pingyang. How did Li Hongjie arrive when he first arrived? It will take some effort to make such an army obey him. .

Now that Princess Pingyang has entrusted him with Dongshou's affairs, it will be of great help to him to take over the post of Weize Gatekeeper.Li Hongjie was sincerely grateful, and thanked Princess Pingyang again and again.

After meeting with Li Hongjie, the handover between the two sides officially began.Han Jin unceremoniously threw over the affairs that Xue Lang was in charge of, and asked him to supervise the handover of the officials under him.

Xue Lang knew that Han Jin was busy with affairs, so he took over. Most of his hands were related to the Princess Mansion, and most of the things related to Weizeguan were related to storage, so the handover was not too busy.

Besides, it's good to be busy with business at hand, so that he can't help but wonder whether the person who took the portrait is Her Highness the Princess.Every time he saw Her Highness the Princess, he wanted to ask, but every time he came into contact with Princess Pingyang's peaceful and calm eyes, he didn't have the courage to say nothing, and secretly wondered if he had guessed wrong!
#On the advantages and disadvantages of Yangqi Kungfu too good! #
Xue Lang silently covered his face. Anyway, Her Royal Highness didn't pursue it, so she didn't intend to blame her, did she?
This is an act of art!This is an act of art!This is an act of art!

In the midst of entanglement and busyness, Winter Hunting has finally arrived!
On the day of winter hunting, the cold wind was blowing, and the flags were flying. The handsome flag was still Li, but the color and totem had changed, and the Suzaku flag, which represented the royal identity of Princess Pingyang, was missing.

Looking at the fluttering flags, Xue Lang felt quite emotional——

From now on, Wei Ze Pass will no longer be the Wei Ze Pass of Her Royal Highness the Princess, but the Wei Ze Pass of the new guard Li Hongjie.In a more literary way, it is called "the old era is over, and Weizeguan has entered a new era".Xue Lang was quite moved when he thought about what he had done in Weize Pass for nearly a year.

Although Princess Pingyang has recovered from her injuries, she has been injured for a hundred days and has not been allowed by Su Han to use a sword and bow, so she only shows up at the grand opening——

"Meet the General!"

As soon as Princess Pingyang appeared, all the soldiers knelt down on the ground together, saluting her respectfully and sincerely.The sound of tens of thousands of people saluting in unison was extremely shocking.

The skill of nourishing qi is as good as Princess Pingyang, and she couldn't help but show excitement on her face: "All officers and men are free, please stand up!"

Ling Qi typed out Princess Pingyang's words, but none of the soldiers kneeling on the ground got up, and they still knelt on the ground!

Princess Pingyang's eyes showed excitement and sadness, and she shouted again: "Soldiers, please stand up!"

The soldiers still didn't get up, and someone choked up and shouted: "General, take care!"

One after another, more and more people shouted together: "Take care, general! Take care, general!"

Gradually, the voice became more and more orderly and louder.

Princess Pingyang couldn't help wet her eyes, she stood up, bowed at the waist, three times in a row, and said loudly: "Pingyang has been here for more than three years, thanks to your help, I finally lived up to the great trust of the saint. After the winter hunt, Pingyang will leave office. Help Pingyang, assist General Li, guard Weize Pass, prevent thieves from stepping into the pass, and take it as our duty to protect the peace of the Central Plains. Please!"

After speaking, he bent down deeply again.

The eyes of the soldiers were so red that they almost screamed: "Here!"

Princess Pingyang straightened her body and clasped her fists in salute to all the soldiers. After the salute, restraining her excitement, she turned to Li Hongjie and said, "General Li will preside over the winter hunting ceremony."

Li Hongjie said respectfully: "The officers and men love and respect His Highness so much. His Highness is about to leave office. Why not let His Highness preside over this winter hunting? It's a good beginning and a good end."
