"The emperor has arrived." The long sound of peace sounded, and the people on the side of the street knelt down when they heard the sound, and the three shouts of long live were like a flood of bells.

The emperor's car drove in front, and hundreds of civil and military officials lined up in the back, and there were forbidden troops waiting for them, the atmosphere was solemn and rigorous, and the courtiers looked at each other.

Until the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the city gate, everyone's eyes couldn't help but gather on the army that was about to appear in front of them.

The Xi Dynasty took the lead in the front, Xu Mian rode a horse behind half of the horse's body, followed by the red stamen, showing a chilling killing atmosphere, and the power of the winner appeared.

Walk to five meters away, according to the rules, the boss dismounts and bows to thank the emperor, and everyone dismounts from the Xi Dynasty and falls on one knee to meet the emperor long live.

Xi Chao didn't kneel with him, he walked straight forward and quietly glanced at the hundreds of officials in the court, and opened his mouth to say: "The minister is fortunate not to be dishonored!" ”

"Good, good!" Mu Jinming stepped forward and took Xi Chao into his arms in public, and called lightly with a smile on his face, "It is worthy of being a person who values my trust." ”

Baiguan twitched his face, stepped forward and bowed to the victorious Wing King, and his drooping eyes turned into different thoughts.

After a simple greeting, Mu Jinming invited Xi Chaoshang Yuren to ride with him in public, this move frightened the hundred officials, all straightened the corners of their mouths, and just wanted to open their mouths to persuade them to be stopped by their good colleagues, at this time, you must not sweep away the emperor's interest, even if you are out of line, don't you say that the companion is like a tiger, the last moment is still smiling, and the next moment immediately becomes the king of Hades who wants people's lives.

The head of the tide agreed, and handed the horse over to Hongrui. Sitting in the spacious jade chariot and entering the palace with Mu Jinming, the hundred officials followed behind and walked back to the palace, but this part of the road was not far. Otherwise, it would be strange for the courtiers to walk down without panting and their legs and stomachs trembling.

Xu Mian had an addiction to being looked up to, yawned and rode back home, before that, he took a detour to another street to buy some freshly cooked breakfast and went back, thinking that his father, who was not on duty at this hour, should go home.

The forbidden army went directly back to the forbidden military camp to rest, and everyone was also faced, and the significance of the emperor's personal welcome was extraordinary. After that, the reward for the three armies is absolutely bulging.

Hongrui led the horse back to the Yiwang Mansion, thinking that the master would probably not be able to return to the mansion in the next few days, so it would be good to relax for a few days. Ask the cook to cook some good dishes, I haven't eaten good food for more than a year, it's weird.

The guards in the Wing King's Mansion slept in the dark, got up and feasted on the fragrant smell of food. Getting enough sleep and eating is one of life's great joys. I had nothing to do and called three or five teammates to the teaching field to have a show, and the whole person was a lot lighter.

The celebration banquet that was supposed to reward the three armies was canceled, on the grounds that the emperor had no reason to do it wantonly during the period of filial piety, and the hundred officials had no objection to this, and they also felt that there was no need for a little girl in the wing king to hold it too high. Compared with the reward for meritorious officials, the Wing King is the only one in ten thousand to win the crown, and how many people are jealous of it.

On the court, the Xi Dynasty proposed that in addition to the reward for the soldiers at the border gates, it hoped to set up an inscription for the dead soldiers, asking the master of Puhua Temple to exceed the soul of the dead, and wishing the dead to rest in peace and the living to remember.

did not wait for the courtiers to stand up and speak out against it. Mu Jinming waved his pen and said how to set up a monument. The dead are the heroes of the Mu country, born for the Mu country to throw their heads and spill blood with flesh and blood to defend the border of the Mu country, and the death should enjoy the respect and worship of the people of the Mu country, and the next purpose is to open a main hall in the Puhua Temple to worship the ashes of the dead soldiers and open it to the people.

Puhua Temple is a royal Buddhist temple, the incense is prosperous, needless to say, the ashes of the dead soldiers are placed in the imperial temple to show the emperor's respect for the deceased, and the second is to be the soul of the royal temple Pudu to sleep peacefully, to give the last bit of warmth to the deceased, it seems to be to win the hearts of the people, but in fact, Mu Jinming and the Xi Dynasty are really making a meager contribution to these dead soldiers.

The courtiers listened silently, each with their own intentions in their hearts, and when the emperor wanted to build a temple for the deceased to worship, where would the money come from? No one knows how much silver there is in the treasury since the Winged King is in charge of the household, although the hundred officials have not been able to get a penny from the treasury, and they are unwilling to let the Winged King use it.

After mentioning this matter, and talking about the chief examiner of Qiuyu, King Yi returned to Beijing immediately, and happened to be above the court, so there should be an exact explanation of the matter, right? How many officials watched, staring at the position without taking their eyes off it.

Xi Chao knew that Mu Jinming intended to let himself be the chief examiner of the autumn season, but it was really difficult for him to be competent for a lot of affairs, and he invited the affairs of the Ministry of Household and Industry to be left behind for a long time, and the main examination was elected to others, and he could participate in next year's Spring Festival.

The approach of the winged king has been unanimously praised by the courtiers, as for the spring of the coming year, it is still early, who knows what the situation will be at that time, and he does not worry too much about the place where the spring is not his own siblings, and it is important now.

Mu Jinming didn't mean to embarrass the Xi Dynasty, since he didn't want to follow the deputy examiner and marking officials of the autumn exam last year to take on the important task of this autumn.

When the courtiers heard this, they were unwilling to respond, and after fighting for a long time, they ended up cheapening others, and they were very uncomfortable in vain.

There was nothing else to do, Mu Jin clearly signaled to retreat from the dynasty, and ordered the Xi Dynasty to have breakfast with him.

The courtiers got up after the emperor left, and their faces couldn't help but show a little thought, and they didn't hurry to leave and chat with their colleagues.

I forgot to ask the question of this year's autumn exam, is it drawn up by the emperor himself or after the election of ministers to the palace for consultation? When people are old, their memory is not very good, they say one thing and forget another, and they only remember this stubble when it is over.

Some officials are not worried about the autumn festival, the heirs of the family have already participated in the autumn festival, and the ranking is okay, and they are waiting for next year's spring festival and the palace examination after that.

As he spoke, he didn't know who led the topic to the Winged King, at first he only complimented the Winged King a few words, and then said that the coveted Weidi was also the fiefdom of the Winged King.

After hearing this, many officials were full of thoughts, if it weren't for the coincidence of catching up with the current Qiuqiu, they would have been thinking about the official positions vacated by the fiefdom of the Wing King.

Someone said abruptly whether the Wing King had entered Beijing early, and everyone didn't know. This remark drew the echo of many officials. It's just a hero's vision.

Some people put forward their own opinions, saying that the Wing King's uniform seemed to be specially changed, and his face did not look like he had rushed back from outside. The ability of the winged king to avoid people's eyes is a first-class wonderful.

Behind the prosperity of Beijing is a gathering place for a lot of news from all directions, as a DPRK and China officials need to grasp enough complex information, combined with the actual operation, under the hands of the standing staff to inquire about the news, do not make a plan is like closing their own mouth and ears can not hear and speak, the court changes strangely and unpredictable, a careless will be the bones of the body. There are some things that can't be hidden.

The sudden return of the Wing King to Beijing was a blow to the head of the courtiers who were smug and confident to the point of conceit, and such a big loophole was revealed, and its meaning was deserved.

Some officials also said that the Wing King did not mention the right to hand over the army, or who is in charge of the overall situation and sitting on one side of the border pass. These circumstances, coupled with the battle situation of the alliance with the Yan State, have not been explained, and it is difficult to explain it based on the news from the Xu family alone, and only the Wing King, who is the person concerned, can answer everyone's questions.

Full of doubts and ticked out with a sentence. also said that the emperor had no intention of asking clearly. I don't know if I knew the inside story early or the Wing King returned early to explain to the emperor, as for whether the courtiers are lucky enough to listen to it again, it depends on the emperor's mood.

The first possibility is extremely high, the reason is taken from the wartime, the impeachment of the Wing King, the emperor once said that the Wing King did send a letter back to Beijing, but unfortunately the way to send the letter was not in the form of a fold, and the courtiers did not know it if they could not see it.

There are also officials who inadvertently propose who is in charge of the marriage of the Wing King, and it is a loss that Ouyang Ye's father and son took a step earlier, otherwise would they be able to look good when they heard this?

The officials who beat the idea of the winged king did not work in a day or two. There have been similar incidents before, and there is nothing to say. Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by.

There are a few people who are not optimistic about the marriage of the Winged King, because the Winged King's current identity is not good, but the emperor has not set up a harem, this matter is promising, it is nothing more than a matter of time, and it is much better than taking the seemingly clear road of the Winged King.

The conversation ended here, and the courtiers left in pairs, thinking about whether the dynasty should let the Wing King confide in the truth about taking the country tomorrow morning, and they had a comparison, and they had a bottom in their hearts.

Mu Jinming took Xi Chao to ask about some things about the prince of Yan Kingdom during breakfast, and the news that came back was mentioned, and some places were not very clear, so he planned to ask and understand it thoroughly.

Xichao explained in detail all the things that happened at the border pass, and he didn't stop until breakfast, and talked for half an hour.

Mu Jinming sighed that it was not easy for the Xi Dynasty, if it was necessary to deter it, the situation would definitely not be so good, and he cherished the hardships it had gone through even more.

Xi Chao knew the amount of daily twists and turns, and urged Mu Jinming not to think about being lazy, and he was going to go to the household department and the Ministry of Industry, and the accumulated official affairs were waiting to be handled.

After sending away the Xi Dynasty, Mu Jin was too empty for a moment, sorted out his sour and astringent feelings, and went to the imperial study to deal with political affairs first.

Hongming saw the master come back, and he met him today, and happily followed the master to report the shop Zhuangzi who passed by on the way back, and he could rest assured that the Xu family has now become an imperial businessman, and there are many flattering businessmen behind the Xu family's buttocks, but fortunately, everyone is just one step ahead of the tentative solution, and there is no chaos.

He also described in detail the emperor's diet and daily life, and never faked his hands to others to ensure the safety of food. Hongming kept talking until the sedan chair arrived at the yamen of the household department.

The officials of the household department were stunned for a moment when they saw the arrival of the Wing King, and thought that the Wing King would not officially go on a mission until tomorrow.

Xi Chao didn't care about the expression of the officials, and asked the secret guards who had been guarding for more than a year, and the shaft dealt with the remaining matters until he went to the Ministry of Works after lunch, and returned to the palace before dinner in the afternoon.

The officials of the two departments of household and labor were shocked by the enthusiasm of the Yiwang, and they came to the yamen as soon as they came back, and it is rare for such diligent officials to be seen. The officials of the two ministries returned to the speed of the winged king's work, a little happy in their hearts, they had not been in contact with the dark side of the officials for a long time, and they lived more broadly, and their temperament was much more outstanding compared to their colleagues in the other four departments, no wonder the old saying often said that the old one who calculates too much is the faster he is, which is undoubtedly thanks to the winged king, in addition to doing things, there is less intrigue between colleagues, and the relationship is harmonious, and the tacit understanding of handling affairs has improved a lot, and it has become a model in the six departments, which is quite honorable. Many officials saw the good situation and wanted to install people in it, and it was best to do things while the Winged King was away, and they were worried for a long time for fear of being squeezed out by the new officials with backgrounds, but fortunately, the Winged King was prescient. The officials of the two ministries let out a sigh of relief and concentrated on their work to keep their hard-won jobs.

The Xi Dynasty is now competing with silver. Although there are still a lot of them in his pocket, he can't stand the account of running water, so he has to think of something to fill it, and he doesn't plan to use it out of his own pocket, unless he really has no way to allocate a little, not that he is only willing to spend the silver obtained by the white wolf with empty gloves, and he is not willing to touch his own penny.

The Acropolis costs a lot of money. These have certain boundaries, just like what can be bought with one tael of silver can never be bought with two taels of silver, and it is not a big wrong. I only believe that good things should be used on the blade, and there is no money in vain.

Therefore, the part that exceeds the budget is not that Xi Chao can't afford it, but because he is afraid that some people will stare too closely and find out that he is tired, and he is guilty of enriching his own pockets. It's not that I'm afraid of a war of words. I am not afraid of those people's words, the problem is that the courtiers have the ability to see the seams, it is too annoying, and it is unbearable to see the opportunity to insert eyes and ears on their own territory, in order to avoid being coerced by the handle, some things try not to do anything.

The bandits around the Acropolis are being cleaned up, so you can consider the surroundings of Muguo. Xi Chao held the horse in one hand and calculated the problem of the size of the movement of the guards, whether it was worth revealing the hole cards in his hand.

Thoughts raced. Suddenly, an idea came to mind, and the Xi Dynasty was worried about rewarding the rewards of the three armies to the border pass, otherwise they would do so, and the guards would go out and pick a route with more bandits and medium strength to start, and there would be rewards on the side and those who did not believe that there was no robbery, as for the righteous bandits, the premise was to find out that the other bandits had not been eliminated, and it was not worth filling in first.

Immediately called Hongming to give an order, as far as possible to find out that there was no hurry all the way to this trip, and to go slowly, Xi Chao thought about whether the goal was too big to transfer out the guards? Why don't you grab a few yacha and put on a façade?

Hongrui came in to deliver refreshments, and when she saw that her master was distracted and light-hearted, so as not to disturb her master's thoughts, she stood aside and listened to her instructions.

Xi Chao sighed secretly, the soldiers hated less when they were used, and there were so few people to use in their hands, and there were only four thousand people in the guards, and there was no one left in the disassembly, and the idea of selecting people was born in the bottom of my heart, and I chose from the forbidden army, or forget it, the imperial brother's forbidden army was not much, and some of it was lost, although it was a piece of food, these should be selected to be separated from the guards, and used as another hole card, focusing on things in the dark that people couldn't notice, just like this crackdown on bandits.

That's right, bandit! Xi Chao's mood instantly soared and snapped his fingers, how could he forget the usable value of this kind of person, if he could use it, he could release it and take it back as a soldier, how good.

When bandits are used to being a bandit, some people are not willing to be good, or they are not afraid of the ease of living freely and casually, Xi Chao can understand this mentality, although everyone shouts and beats but is willing, of course, she is optimistic about those righteous bandits, do not kill people, do not set fires, are not extremely vicious, specialize in looting ill-gotten wealth, and others should be killed and done.

There is no need for too many people, it is inconvenient to do things with many eyes, and another intention of the Xi Dynasty to be optimistic about the righteous bandits is that these people treat their brothers with all sincerity and are extremely united, and what they want is this kind of spirit.

With such a happy decision, Xi Chao reorganized the plan, and the guards still had to go out, and it was not up to them to deal with the bandits. On the premise of having enough trust, she didn't want to reveal too much, just like the meaning that eggs can't be put in one basket.

In the morning of the next day, the courtiers seemed to be in good breath, and they came up to ask about the beginning and end of the alliance with the Yan State, and asked the Xi Dynasty to answer questions by name.

Xi Chao was too lazy to talk nonsense, and handed over the written form of the alliance signed by the two countries, concisely explaining the good and bad of Mu Yan's alliance and Yan Wei's alliance, and no matter how many other things were not revealed, he only said that the Xu family did not inquire about the news and spread it to Shangjing, although it was not very detailed, and the general meaning was there, and it was better than nothing.

She didn't have to tell the courtiers about the border situation for the courtiers who were waiting for death, and the Xi Dynasty had no such free obligations.

The courtiers were stuck in their throats and couldn't suffocate their eyes, and they couldn't force the Wing King to commit it, this matter was not cured, and when asked about the lack of officials in the Acropolis now, the happiest people were the officials of the Great Prince's faction.

Xi Chao could imagine with his toes why these officials were in such a hurry, and calmly said that there was no shortage of officials now, and as for the future it would be the matter of his own fiefdom master, others had no way to put their beaks, and warned some officials not to stretch their hands too long, and at the end of the words, he briefly mentioned the fact that half of the forbidden army had disappeared, arousing the curiosity of the unknown officials, and the officials of the Great Prince's faction retreated in a cold sweat, like a gourd with a sawing mouth, and kept silent.

The officials of the Great Prince's faction have ghosts in their hearts, and the disappearance of the forbidden army is a thorn in their throats, which they can't pull out, and they can only be used to pull out their whole bodies, even if they know that this is the Wing King's secret warning, they have to admit it, who makes them weak.

Carefully observing the emperor's attitude towards this matter, the whole heart rushed upwards again and again, and after waiting for a while, the emperor did not see the emperor to investigate this matter deeply, and the heart that had reached the throat fell back to its original position with a bang, and the person was scared to death.

The next day, Xichao took Hongming out for a walk, and there was little change in Beijing for more than a year, and there was still nothing to buy in the prosperous world, so he stopped and watched at will.

At noon, I set up a vegetarian meal in Fengyang Building, and met two teams of relatives in the middle of the road, beating gongs and drums and playing joy is very lively. The ban on official filial piety has been lifted, and the people have also had another big victory this year, and there are many families who have married each other.

Xi Dynasty came out without wearing a standard brocade uniform, which was too eye-catching, especially when his reputation was recognized and watched in a crowded place on the street, and the good mood was estimated to collapse, although the people were not malicious, but they were not comfortable being seen by everyone as a novelty monkey.

Tall and tall, this is a new discovery when Hongming suddenly rose to measure his height, Xichao was fiddled with by Hongming, and he did grow a little, fortunately, he was fat and thin, and he could still wear the clothes in the past, and he didn't need to make a new one.

Dressed in a sky-blue brocade dress, Xi Chao's face is more handsome, softening the cold face that is always moody and temperamental, and the red Ming around him did not wear that bright red dress, but changed to a lotus-colored summer dress, which made the whole person more and more beautiful and moving, no worse than Miss Shijia.

"Childe, do you want to buy rouge gouache, we have the best and most complete goods here, the price is fair, come in and take a look." Xi Chao walked to the door of a newly opened shop and was stopped by the shopkeeper who came out to welcome customers.

Xi Chao shook his head, signaling not to go in, and he couldn't use it, the rouge gouache they used was much better in the palace than the one sold outside, and the fat paste they used came from the Tai Hospital, and they didn't plan to change it.

Walking forward, I saw a child selling flowers shouting, the flowers were blooming, and several people who looked like scholars came forward to choose, only to find that the atmosphere of Beijing Chinese inkers was getting stronger and stronger.

"Little sister." An unclear call came from behind the side, and Xi Chao didn't pay much attention to it, probably calling someone else.

"Miss!" This voice was louder than just now, followed by the sound of eager footsteps, the voice was close, Hong Ming couldn't help but look, seeing that it was an acquaintance, he pulled the sleeve of the master in front of him, and said in his ear: "It's Ouyang Lin." ”

Xi Chao was slightly surprised, so the two little sisters called themselves before? Turning around and facing him, waiting for Ouyang Lin's next words, he didn't think it was just to say hello when he suddenly saw him.

"Little sister." Ouyang Lin didn't dare to confirm whether the person he saw was the one he was familiar with, the root cause was that the maid who followed the wing king had always been either red or green, which was easy to recognize, but this time it was different, and the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more it looked like a tentative opening, but he didn't expect it to be.

"My little sister is going back to Beijing, why don't you go back to see my father?" Ouyang Lin saw that the Wing King, who was already a young man, was getting taller and taller, and if he didn't point out his identity, he would be a good son of the world. (To be continued......)
