Three surprises a day!
Merton has not yet arrived in Chang'an City, and the news in Chang'an City naturally reached Merton's ears at the first time!
"I really admire ink sacrificing wine, who is thousands of miles away, but can stir up the situation in Chang'an!" Gao Shilian looked at Merton with short hair next to him and joked.
"Don't laugh any more, Lord Gao. The boy is weak and timid, but he can't stand such a big scare!" Merton said bitterly.
"Very timid? From my point of view, you are bold. We can wantonly destroy the Chinese tradition for thousands of years. What else do you dare not do?" Gao Shilian said.
Merton suddenly lost his face and said, "but this is obviously a great good thing! But why are there so many objections?"
Gao Shilian could not help it. Of course, he knew the benefits of hair cutting, otherwise he would not let Merton publicize the benefits of hair cutting in the army.
"When Qu Yuan shouted, everyone was drunk and I woke up alone. I'm afraid it was the same mentality as ink sacrifice!" Gao Shilian sighed.
Merton shook his head and said, "Lord Gao is over praised. How can the boy compare with Qu Yuan's concern for the country and the people? What the boy asks is that the people all over the world can have a healthy body and be free from parasites."
Gao Shilian nodded and said, "so Qu Yuan lost, and your boy still has some hope!"
"A little hope?" Merton looked at Gao Shilian puzzled.
Gao Shilian nodded and said, "I think you have some hope because you plan not to spend money!"
"No money?" Merton suddenly looked black.
Gao Shilian nodded and said, "now it doesn't cost a penny to cure the stubborn disease, but you have to endure secular eyes and criticism. If you don't take the lead in cutting your hair, I naturally don't value this side. Now for the poor people, you take the lead, doctors echo, and natural responders gather."
Merton was relieved and relaxed: "thank you, Lord Gao!"
Gao Shilian waved his hand and said, "don't thank me first. The people are naturally free, but you don't have to feel better about the chaotang pass."
Merton's face turned black when he thought of those old and stubborn civil servants. This time, he must be heckled when he returned to Chang'an city.
"Chang'an city is here!" suddenly a cheering came from the front.
Merton could not help but stretch his head forward and saw the tall wall of Chang'an City in front of him.
"Chang'an City, we are back!" Merton also sighed in his heart. In a twinkling of an eye, half a year has passed since they set out from Chang'an city to return.
The news of the return of the army naturally spread to Chang'an City, and the people of Chang'an city immediately poured out of Chang'an city. First, they spontaneously supported the victorious army.
On the other hand, people are eager to witness Merton's flat hairstyle that has spread all over Chang'an City before he returns.
"That's the MOH family!"
"Sure enough, it's the same as the picture, with short hair!"
"It is said that the Mohist school also named it flat head!"
"However, how do I think the flat head distribution of mojiazi is also very good-looking."
……………………
Many people on both sides of the brick road pointed at Merton one after another.
Merton did not change his face. He still sat on the horse with high spirits, showing no timidity at all.
Seeing this, Gao Shilian could not help nodding secretly, and his evaluation of Merton was a little higher. However, he did not know that Merton had short hair for decades in his previous life and naturally had no psychological burden.
To Merton's slight disappointment, there was no so-called bridge section for all civil and military officials to go out of the city to meet, because that was the treatment for Li Jing to return to Chang'an city. It was pound, an old acquaintance of Merton and Li Shimin's close eunuch, who was responsible for receiving Merton and Gao Shilian.
"Thank you, father-in-law!" Murton bowed.
Pound looked at Merton's strange flat hairstyle, twitched at the corners of his mouth, and forcibly held back: "it's been hard all the way with Lord Gao. His majesty and all civil and military officials have been waiting in the Tai Chi hall."
At this moment, the army naturally cannot enter Chang'an city. Its own generals lead them back to the west mountain to return to camp, while pound is here to wait for Merton and Gao Shilian.
Gao Shilian glanced at Merton and said with a smile, "let's go. Don't keep your majesty waiting."
Merton nodded helplessly, his heart crossed, and followed pound on the carriage that had been prepared. Sooner or later, this level could not be avoided. It would be better to come earlier.
The carriage went all the way East, turned into Zhuque Avenue and went straight to Taiji hall.
Tai Chi hall.
All officials were discussing the matter when a notice came from outside the hall!
"Inform your majesty that all the troops of the western expedition have returned, and Mo sacrificial wine and Lord Gao have been waiting outside the hall."
Suddenly, there was a silence in the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty. One by one, they couldn't help looking at Kong Yingda in the civil service. Everyone knew that a big debate between Confucianism and Mohism was inevitable.
Li Shimin heard the speech and put down the memorial in his hand. He could have handled the matter coldly, but he was angry at the thought that Princess Changle cut her waist long hair. If he didn't take the opportunity to embarrass the Mo family, he would act recklessly for Li Er.
"Xuan!" Li Shimin said coldly.
"Xuanmo offering wine, Lord Gao entering the hall!" a bodyguard shouted in a lengthened voice.
Soon, it went on and soon reached Merton.
Gao Shilian nodded and just wanted to take a step. Suddenly, he found that Merton's momentum suddenly changed. He looked up, straightened his chest, closed his abdomen, looked straight ahead, put his hands on the trouser seams and closed his heels.
Although Merton followed behind Gao Shilian, Gao Shilian heard that Merton's every step was sonorous and powerful, like stepping on a drum, like a soldier on the battlefield.
They climbed the steps of the Tai Chi hall step by step. With Merton's sonorous and powerful steps, they immediately attracted the attention of all the forbidden guards in the palace.
Under the gaze of a group of guards, the two entered the Tai Chi hall with high spirits. Merton once again became the focus of the whole audience. It was only a short 20 steps from the entrance of the Tai Chi hall to the forefront of all officials. However, it was Merton's vigorous military steps that completely conquered a group of courtiers.
Even if the civil servants no longer dislike Merton, they have to admit that Merton's move is full of masculine beauty. In the eyes of the military general, the pace standard of Merton's every step is sonorous and powerful. At first glance, it is a symbol of soldiers, but it is very different from ordinary soldiers.
Li Jing's eyes suddenly lit up, which was the template of the most ideal recruit plan in his mind. If all the officers and men in the army are as dignified and full of sunshine as Merton, the image of the soldier may change 180 degrees immediately.
Merton's sharp edges and corners, flat hair style not only does not make all officials strange, but adds a third temperament to Merton's pace, as if this flat hair style is naturally fit for the army.
Even Li Shimin had to sigh in his heart. Merton's appearance was really amazing, and his anger dissipated unconsciously.
