"Wow, is this the new border guard marquis that the emperor has conferred?”
"He doesn't look very old, but he has such ability. It is truly the fortune of our Great Tang!”
"Why is he wearing a mask? It looks so scary!"
"Yes, yes, of course. However, I heard from my grandmother that during the war, some young and handsome generals were afraid that they would not be able to deter the enemy on the battlefield. They ordered blacksmiths to make some ugly and ferocious masks to achieve the effect of deterrence!”
"What? There was such a thing? Doesn't that mean that our Border Guard Marquis is also a young general with a dignified appearance?”
"I wonder if this marquis has a wife. If you are lucky enough to marry this person, what can you ask for in this life?"
When Mu Chen, Li Er, and all the civil and military officials returned to Chang 'an City from the Ten Mile Slope…
On both sides of the streets of Chang 'an, there were many Chang' an citizens.
Mu Chen's deeds had long been spread throughout the capital.
It was not an exaggeration to say that it had already reached the level of being well-known.
Among these commoners, there were many daughters of noble families.
When they heard that a young hero was coming to Chang 'an, they were all very excited and wanted to see it with their own eyes.
"Nephew, did you see that? Isn't Chang 'an City lively? Look over there, that's the daughter of Lord Lin from the Ministry of War. Pretty, right? Also, also, hahaha, the daughter of the Wang family, is actually here? Hmm, isn't that the cousin of General Peng? And there's more!"
Cheng Sanfu rode on his horse as if he was looking at flowers.
As long as he could see it, he would introduce it to Mu Chen.
Moreover, Mu Chen felt very strange in his heart. It seemed that in Old Cheng's eyes, there was not a single person that he did not recognize.
Other than the daughters of the various lords, even the servants and servants were familiar with each other.
It seemed that Cheng Sanfu's reputation was indeed well-deserved.
"Nephew, since you have arrived in Chang 'an, you can keep everything in your mind. When I have the time, I will help you find a good marriage. " She's a famous beauty in Chang 'an. I didn't expect her to come. Hahaha!" Cheng Sanfu laughed.
Mu Chen had a helpless look on his face. Get married? He was still young, and there were still many things to do. How could he have the time to get married?
Moreover, Mu Chen was from the modern era and was used to the freedom of marriage. If he really met someone he liked, it wouldn't be too late to get married.
"Uncle Cheng, this nephew is still young. Moreover, the world is still in turmoil, and the Turkic barbarians have repeatedly invaded the borders of our Great Tang. If a real man doesn't care about the affairs of the country, how would he dare to care about his personal feelings? Isn't this the wind of playing with things and losing one's will?" Mu Chen said.
In the end, as soon as he said this, Old Cheng was rendered speechless.
His face was red and his neck was thick. He could not say a word of retort for a long time.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with Mu Chen's words.
Now that the Great Tang was plagued with internal and external problems, it was time to use manpower. A real man should be thinking about how to destroy the Turks and stop their repeated disturbances.
Moreover, Mu Chen was still relatively young, so there was no need for him to be in a hurry to think about marriage. What if he lost his ambition because of marriage?
Cheng Sanfu was dumbfounded when he heard this.
"Hahaha, good boy, you're actually better at talking than I, Old Cheng. Fine, fine, fine. Since that's the case, I'll do as you say. But in the future, if you have someone you like, you must come and find your Uncle Cheng to help you matchmake.”Cheng Sanfu laughed.
"Of course. If I really meet someone fated, I hope Uncle Cheng won't find me troublesome!”Mu Chen said politely.
"What are you talking about?”
"Yes, Uncle Cheng!"
Mu Chen and Cheng Sanfu chatted and laughed as they walked towards the palace.
Soon, the palace appeared before Mu Chen.
It had to be said that the Great Tang Palace was so majestic that even standing outside the walls gave off a solemn air.
Li Ercong, escorted by Supervisor Wang and a group of ministers, walked over.
"Everyone, let's go back first today. Zhen still has some matters to discuss with the Border Guard Marquis and Duke Lu!”Li Er turned around and said.
"We obey your orders and respectfully send Your Majesty off!"
All the civil and military officials bowed.
Li Er nodded. Just as he was about to step into the palace, he stopped and said,"Mm, State Duke Cai, State Duke Yi, and State Duke Liang should stay too!”
"This subject obeys the decree!"
Duke Du, Xuan Ling, and Duke Qin bowed.
Immediately, a group of people, including Mu Chen, Cheng Sanfu, and Niu Jinda, followed Li Er into the Imperial Palace.
As for the other officials, they dispersed and went back to their homes to find their mothers.
As for Mu Xi 'er and Ma Zhong, Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang brought them back to Cheng Sanfu's residence to rest.
This was usually where Li Er and the important officials of the court discussed state affairs.
Li Er's expression became a little solemn when he arrived.
As soon as he sat down, Li Er went straight to the point and said,"Men, let the ministers take a seat!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
A few eunuchs moved a few chairs over and placed them in the hall.
After everyone was seated, Li Er said,""I know that Duke Lu and the Marquis of Border Protection have just returned triumphantly and should have held a feast to welcome your family. Unfortunately, the Great Tang is plagued by disasters, the Turkic barbarians in the north are eyeing it, and the internal affairs are not stable. Now that the world is in a drought, the fields have not been harvested."
Hearing this, the expressions of the few people present darkened.
Mu Chen's heart was also moved. According to history, the Great Tang had indeed faced a great drought in the third year of Zhenguan.
At this time, Zhangsun, Old Du, and Xuan Ling should be praying for rain together.
At present, there was only Old Master Du and Xuan Ling here, but they were missing their eldest grandson.
In other words, after he came here, he caused a subtle change in history.
Xuanling and Duke Du did not leave together. Only Zhangsun was praying for rain?
"Your Majesty? Could it be that Lord Zhangsun's matter of praying for rain was not progressing smoothly?”Old Master Du said.
Indeed, it was exactly as Mu Chen had guessed.
Li Er nodded." That's right. This drought is unusually fierce and sudden. If we can't pray for rain, I'm afraid that my people will suffer."
Just as Li Er was at his wit's end, Cheng Sanfu spoke up.
"Hahaha, Your Majesty, what is there to worry about? If it was before, this would be a big problem. Now that my nephew is here, no matter what drought it is, it won't be a problem."
Hearing this, Mu Chen frowned. This Cheng Sanfu was really a f * cking scammer.
