While a large number of people on both sides were applauding and cheering for Zhao Ziliang's success in subduing the frightened horse, Zhao Ziliang and others were talking here.
Gai Jiayun was already a little impatient.
He was about to call Zhao Ziliang, but Zhao Ziliang But it has been solved.
"Two Taoist priests, it's getting late.
We have to escort the Turkic prisoners into the city to present their prisoners.
Can you please step aside and let us pass first?"
Zhao Ziliang asked Yang Taizhen and Li Yuzhen, handing over their hands.
Yang Yuhuan is not called Yang Yuhuan now.
This name came later.
She was called Yang Yu since she was a child.
After becoming a Taoist priest, she took the Taoist name Taizhen.
Yang Yu looked at Li Chiying to see what she meant.
Li Yuzhen smiled sweetly and said: "Let Pindao and I make way.
Won't Pindao and Pindao not be able to see the prisoner presentation ceremony?
Don't worry, general.
Pindao immediately asked the coachman to turn around and move forward quickly.
He will not block the general's large group of people."
Emperor Xuanzong doted on his two younger sisters.
He doted on Princess Yuzhen and Princess Jinxian much more than he did his own daughters.
If he offended this princess, there would be no good fruits to be gained.
Zhao Ziliang knew it.
This person couldn't afford to offend her, and of course he wouldn't offend her, so he had no choice but to agree: "In that case, please ask the Taoist priest to ask the driver to drive faster, so as not to delay me while we wait for the prisoner sacrifice."
Driven by the driver, the luxurious carriage carrying Yang Taizhen and Li Yuzhen turned around and headed inside the city gate, while the frightened guards quickly carried their injured companions and horses to the side of the road to make way for them.
Zhao Ziliang walked back to his horse and was about to get on his horse.
However, Gai Jiayun was quite dissatisfied and said with an angry tone: "Ziliang, what's the matter with you?
It's almost time to sacrifice the prisoners.
Why do you let the people in front of you?"
The carriage goes first” After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang got on his horse, turned sideways and whispered: "Sir, those two people on the carriage are noble people.
We can't afford to offend them.
If they offend them, as long as they use any tricks, we will have nothing to lose in this capital."
Let’s go” Gai Jiayun was stunned, a little disbelieving, and asked: "Who is on the carriage?"
"His Majesty the Emperor's closest relatives," Zhao Ziliang said, pointing to the sky, "also went to Zhuque Gate to participate in the prisoner presentation ceremony."
Gai Jiayun was silent, and at the same time a thin layer of sweat broke out on his back.
He was secretly glad that he did not act recklessly, otherwise he would have offended the people on the carriage, and he was afraid that the merits of guarding the border for several years would be wasted.
After taking a breath, Gai Jiayun never mentioned the matter again and waved his hand: "Keep moving forward."
Zhao Ziliang turned around and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order and continues to move forward."
The prisoners had long been put down from the prison carts by the soldiers.
Because the prisoners were to be sacrificed, they naturally wanted the people on both sides of the street to see them more clearly, so they had to put the prisoners down from the prison carts and put shackles on all the prisoners. , let the prisoners advance in several lines, with soldiers guarding them on both sides to prevent unexpected situations.
Amidst the cheers of the people at the city gate, Zhao Ziliang and others escorted the prisoners into Mingde Gate.
Unexpectedly, after entering the city, there were more people on both sides of Zhuque Street.
All the shops were closed.
The shopkeepers, The guys all came out to watch the Turkic prisoners.
"Did you see that, those are the two Khans of Tuqishi?"
The people on the street pointed at the two people who were at the front of the captive team, the Fire-Tumbling Immortal and Erwei.
Some people said angrily: "These two people are really rebellious.

No wonder they rebelled against us, the Tang Dynasty.
I should severely beat such immature white-eyed wolves, and the emperor should order their heads to be chopped off."
"Don't talk nonsense.
It's up to the emperor to decide how to deal with them.
It's not up to us ordinary people.
Don't say that again.
It's not good for others to hear you."
"Look, the general in bright armor is so brave, and the old general in the middle has a majestic look on his face.
He must be a high official," someone exclaimed.
A person next to him said contemptuously: "I didn't know this.
The veteran general in the middle is Gai Jiayun, the military governor of the Fourth Town of Anxi.
That tall and heroic young general must be General Zhao Ziliang, who beat the Turks and made them cry for father and mother."
"How do you know?"
"Of course I know that my aunt's second aunt's grandson's second uncle's son works as an errand in Mr.
Pei's residence.
He personally heard Mr.
Pei say that in addition to Mr.
Gai, General Zhao Ziliang will also escort the prisoners here this time.
So heroic Who is the general who is not General Zhao?"
Everyone around suddenly realized that no wonder the young general was so tall and heroic.
When he looked at him, he felt a murderous aura coming towards his face.
Apart from Zhao Ziliang, who could make the Turks fearful, there was no one else.
Last year and this year, Zhao Ziliang's reputation in the Western Regions was indeed not small, and it even surpassed Huangfu Weiming and Wang Zhongsi.
You know, the official positions of these two people are much higher than that of Zhao Ziliang.
Huangfu Weiming is now the military governor of Longyou, while Wang Zhongsi’s official position is General Zuo Jinwuwei, General of Zuo Yulin Army, and General of Zuo Yulin Army.
He was the deputy envoy of Hedong Jiedu and the military envoy of Datong.
Just a few days ago, Wang Zhongsi concurrently served as the governor of Daizhou, the chief censor of Daizhou, the governor of Hedong Jiedu, and the general of Yunhui.
Compared with these two people, Zhao Ziliang is nothing.
Amid the cheers and pointings of the people along the way, Gai Jiayun and Zhao Ziliang escorted the prisoners and finally arrived at Zhuque Gate.
From a distance, Zhao Ziliang saw the flags flying on the tower of Zhuquemen City Gate.
The flags of various colors were very powerful under the warm wind.
The tower was filled with relatives of the emperor, nobles, important ministers and generals, and many other people.
There were many ladies and ladies huddled together chattering.
In the middle of the tower is a tall golden throne.
On the throne sits a handsome middle-aged man wearing golden armor.
He has a short beard on his chin and a mustache on his lips.
Even though he is old, he is still very handsome. , just looking at his upper body, he is very tall.
Judging from his current appearance, this man must have been a majestic and handsome man when he was young.
This middle-aged and elderly man is the current emperor and the Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty, who is well known to later generations.
Of course, we cannot call him Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty now, nor can we call him Xuanzong.
These titles are all called by later generations based on his posthumous title and temple name after his death.
And he has not died yet, so of course he cannot be called that way. .
All the royal relatives, nobles and sages, important ministers and generals, palace ladies, ministers' wives, concubines and ladies on the city tower were pointing and whispering to Gai Jiayun, Zhao Ziliang and Pugu Huai'en who were gradually riding towards them. .
When they reached a certain distance, a general on the street raised his hand to remind Gai Jiayun that he should stop advancing.
Gai Jiayun, Zhao Ziliang and others immediately reined in their horses and stopped, bowed their hands and saluted the emperor on the tower and said loudly: "I am the last general Gai Jiayun."

"Yun Zhao Ziliang and Pugu Huai'en are here to see Your Majesty.
Please forgive me for not being able to perform the full ceremony because I am wearing armor."
The only advantage that military generals have over civil servants is that when they meet with superior generals and emperors, they don’t have to kneel down if they wear armor, because wearing armor makes it impossible to kneel down.
If you wear court clothes, sorry, you have to kneel down and do the same.
Li Longji stood up from the golden throne, walked to the wall stacks of the city tower, held the wall stacks with his left hand, raised his right hand, and said loudly: "Without courtesy, Qing's family has been guarding the border for several years, and has made great breakthroughs.
Now we are on the road again."
It took more than two months to escort the captives from the Anxi Protectorate, and the hard work and achievements are a model for a famous minister."
This was not a low opinion, especially when it came from the emperor.
Gai Jiayun was so happy that he almost cried on the spot.
He thought to himself that all these years of hard work were finally not in vain.
Only these few words from the emperor were enough.
It was worth it.
At the same time, I felt a great sense of pride in my heart.
I thought about Huangfu Weiming and Wang Zhongsi.
Although you are the emperor’s favorite generals, you are not as famous as me, Lao Gai.
Gai Jiayun has always been dissatisfied and dissatisfied with Huangfu Weiming and Wang Zhongsi because he was older than those two people and had more merits, and because one of the two people had a good relationship with the prince, and the other was personally trained by the emperor.
Come on, there is a difference between closeness and distance.
How can he compare with them?
Although they have high merit and seniority, they can't stop them from getting closer to the emperor, and they will be promoted much faster than him.
Wiping away a few tears from the corner of his eyes without leaving a trace, Gai Jiayun immediately held up his hand and said: "Your Majesty praised me highly.
I guard the border for the country and guard the Western Region for Your Majesty.
It is my duty as a minister.
I dare not take pride in my achievements.
I defeated the sudden cavalry."
The donation is carried out according to the strategy formulated by His Majesty, and it depends entirely on the soldiers' lives to achieve full success."
When Li Longji heard that Gai Jiayun placed most of the credit on himself, he immediately beamed with joy and nodded with a smile.
Then he looked at the left and right sides of Gai Jiayun and saw that Pugu Huai'en had a barbarian appearance.
He pointed at Zhao Ziliang and asked, "I guess you are Zhao Ziliang.
You have gained a lot of fame in Chang'an in the past two years.
I have been with you every day for the past two days."
I heard people in the palace talking about how you killed the Turkic generals and how you commanded the troops to defeat the enemy.
It was so majestic, hahaha."
"General Zhao Ziliang comes to see your majesty."
Zhao Ziliang bowed his hands and said, "Although the general has some martial arts skills, if the soldiers don't work together and are not afraid of death, they can't defeat the enemy.
Only your majesty is wise in front, and only civil servants can be defeated."
With the talented generals behind him, the last generals will also have the opportunity to use what they have learned to fight for the country on the battlefield, open up territories for His Majesty, and protect the well-being of the people of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Longji didn't expect that the young Zhao Ziliang would speak so calmly and steadily.
Generally speaking, such a young general would be somewhat unruly, but looking at Zhao Ziliang's appearance, he didn't have any of these problems.
It seemed that this was A material that can be made.
Li Longji was very happy and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, although you are young, you are neither arrogant nor impetuous.
It is good that you are a general who can be entrusted with important tasks."
At this point, Li Longji discovered that the war horse under Zhao Ziliang's crotch was extremely powerful.
Not only was it tall and covered in black, but it was also motionless.
Other war horses tended to be afraid of it and wanted to stay away from it.
The eunuch Gao Lishi next to him saw Li Longji's expression and immediately understood.

He remembered the contents of the letter Bian Lingcheng wrote from Anxi a few days ago.
He gritted his teeth and whispered to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, I heard that Zhao Ziliang was riding in That This war horse was a gift prepared by the Kingdom of Dashi to His Majesty.
This horse is called Black Dragon.
It is the most majestic horse in the Kingdom of Dashi.
It is the national treasure of the Kingdom of Dashi.
This shows that the Kingdom of Dashi respects His Majesty.
However, back then, The envoys from the big food country are in the When passing through Tuqishi, they were intercepted by Tuqishi people, and all the people in the mission were killed.
The horse was taken by Tuqishi people.
In the winter before last, Tuqishi froze to death and numerous cattle, sheep, and horses were killed, so he wanted to Entered Anxi to plunder, and attacked Zhao Ziliang The garrisoned Tuoyun Castle was unexpectedly defeated by Fumeng Lingcha and Zhao Ziliang.
In that battle, Zhao Ziliang killed the Turkic general riding the black dragon and won the horse, but for some reason he did not Not presented to His Majesty."
After listening to what Gao Lishi said, Li Longji frowned, turned around and asked, "How did you know?"
"This" Gao Lishi hesitated for a moment, then replied: "It was the Chinese envoy Bian Lingcheng who wrote to tell the old slave."
Li Longji's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he didn't know what to think about
