In the hope of the people of Tokyo, the news of the return of the soldiers of the Western Expedition to Beijing spread far and wide, and the speed of transmission was even no less than that of the champion's cross-horse parade in the streets!

This is a baptism of the city of Tokyo is also a reshaping of the army of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen is how can he let go of such a good opportunity, the Ministry of Rites has hung the festival on behalf of the imperial power and the wild geese requisitioned by the army at the Nanxun Gate of Tokyo City early.

The excited people crowded on the side of the road in order to see the triumph of the Western Expedition army, and it was not until dusk approached that the ground began to shake slightly, and Zhao Zhen, as the emperor, must not be able to greet him at the gate of the city, the reason was that it was unseemly to do this to the envoys of other countries, and it seemed that the emperor was petty.

The majesty of the Shangbang Celestial Empire is mainly displayed on the emperor's body, and his graceful bearing is the demeanor of the Son of Heaven.

So Zhao Zhen could only watch Wang Zeng and Cao Wei go to Nanxunmen in gorgeous court clothes to hold the first ceremony on behalf of him, the son of heaven, but he had to face Lu Zongdao's constant pickiness, one time the clothes were not suitable, and he had to wear the imperial armor, and the other time the sword should be tied on the right side three inches away from the belt.

Zhao Zhen's head is extremely big, this old man is now more and more persistent, meticulously performing his duties, I am afraid that he is the only one in the entire Great Song Dynasty who dares to be so rude to Zhao Zhen's entire Great Song Dynasty, and he is rude and polite......

This seems to be a conflict, but it is not, as the right Yan Zheng Lu Zongdao is almost performing all the duties of a counselor, although there are many in the Great Song Dynasty and even the Tang Dynasty are not worthy of the name, but he is still happy to do it, and the courtiers all praise him for this kind of death-seeking behavior, so as long as he does not make mistakes, no one can move Lu Zongdao, and he is also getting farther and farther away from the road to sanctification.

The reputation of the fish head participating in politics is widely spread among the people, but the ministers of the court are all praised by Lu Sugong, and no one will mention the two words of the fish head.

The people said it was cordial, and the courtiers said it became rude.

When Zhao Zhen accepted the packaging, the queen Wang Yuyan beside her did not escape Lu Zongdao's "claws", as the queen, she had to personally unload the armor for the soldiers who went out, of course, there could be no difference.

But compared with Zhao Zhen's awkwardness, Wang Yuyan's every move is much calmer: "Master Lu, do you think the palace is more appropriate with arrow sleeves or wide sleeves?" ”

A sentence of Master Lu made Lu Zongdao smile and nodded: "Niangniang is thoughtful, and it is more convenient for the arrow sleeves to remove the armor of the soldiers." ”

Praise is praise, what does it mean to have to look at yourself? Zhao Zhen's heart was full of dissatisfaction, but on the surface, he still smiled and nodded.

"Vera Niangniang, you remember today's process and the costumes of the official saints, even if the old minister is not there in the future, there will be no difference, this is a great gift and cannot be slackened!"

Vera nodded vigorously in response, "The slave has written it down!" ”

"You can't call yourself a slave anymore, if you want to talk about me, I'm also a side concubine, don't call yourself a slave and make foreigners laugh."

Lu Zongdao recognized Vera's status for the first time, after all, Zhao Zhen's canonization of Vera was issued in a state of neutrality, and many courtiers somewhat looked down on her title.

Zhao Zhen suddenly found that today's Lu Zongdao was a little different from the past, his straight spine was slightly bent, and his dark face looked a little pale.

"Lu Xianggong, are you okay? I see that your face is not very good, is there something wrong? ”

Lu Zongdao's body trembled slightly, and then he showed a relaxed smile and said: "The official family is too worried, the old minister is still a three-bucket meal, and he is not happy without meat......

"Sancai! Xuanhu came from afar to show Lu Xianggong. ”

Years of friendship between teachers and students made Zhao Zhen see Lu Zongdao's reluctance at a glance, and his heart instantly ached, and he could show it in front of him, I am afraid that Lu Zongdao's body is already extremely weak.

Since Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, there have been very few opportunities to talk to Lu Zongdao alone, and Lu Zongdao, as the emperor, has also consciously begun to avoid suspicion, and he can play as much as possible at the court meeting without staying behind.

But now looking at the old man whose face was pale and trembling slightly, how could Zhao Zhen not be sad?

At Zhao Zhen's strong request, Hu Yuan took Lu Zongdao's pulse on the side of the main hall, and knew from his face that his condition was very serious, and sighed slightly, Hu Yuan complained about Lu Zongdao in front of Zhao Zhen: "Lu Gong is dedicated to the country and the people, but how can he ignore his own body?" This is a disease caused by hard work, and the essence of the whole body has been exhausted, and if you don't cultivate well, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive next year......"

Zhao Zhen and Wang Yuyan were shocked, they didn't expect that Lu Zongdao, who had a straight rocker on weekdays, would die soon, this was a bolt from the blue!

Seeing the expressions of Zhao Zhen and Wang Yuyan, Lu Zongdao smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, it's okay, the old minister is doing his best!" can drain the last vitality for the Great Song Dynasty, even if it is worth dying. ”

Zhao Zhen personally helped Lu Zongdao to sit down and didn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and ministers: "Master Lu, don't be strong, I won't let you die, I want you to see the Great Song Dynasty take back the land of Yanyun!" ”

Lu Zongdao felt that the official family at this time had returned to the appearance of when he was in the East Palace, and said with a smile: "The official family has now become a dragon soaring for nine days, and it is no longer the prince that the old minister wants to protect, and the old minister can't walk, it's time to rest, I was going to resign after two years, but now it seems that it is better to retreat bravely. ”

"Yes, I will definitely agree!"

Lu Zongdao stretched out his hand to sort out the armor on Zhao Zhen's body: "Then the old minister will thank the official family!" ”

The army returned triumphantly, the sound of Huang Zhong Dalu sounded in the city of Tokyo, accompanied by the slight tremor of the earth, a lion appeared in the field of vision of the people of Tokyo, the quiet and solemn atmosphere, the soldiers marching silently, all gave people a shock from the heart.

Many old people sighed with emotion: "How many years have passed, our Great Song Dynasty finally has Qin Ruishi, a male soldier like Wei Wushu!" ”

Wang Zeng and Cao Wei glanced at each other, and what they saw from each other's eyes was excitement and excitement.

"Hehe, filial piety, you said that there is such an army, and our Great Song is still far from recovering Yanyun?"

"Of course it's not far away, Baochen, have you found it, Yang Huaiyu and Di Qing are the generals and commanders trained by the official family, and their military exploits are almost identical!"

"Of course, when you meet your opponent, you will meet the best material...... You old man tricked me into the game again! It's been a long time, I'm long gone, whose tiger didn't break his head and send it to the military academy! Why are you tempting me to expose my shorts? ”

Wang Zeng smiled slightly: "I'm used to it, I'm always worried about you martial artists......

"Humph! Even the official family is relieved that you have nothing to worry about, I still say the same thing, the gate is completely subject to the arrangement of the official family, and you will see if there is still a gate after a hundred years for our old guys? Oh! You should also leave when I'm away, your Wang Xiaoxian is just two years younger than the old man, haha! ”

Wang Zeng smiled bitterly: "You are really unforgiving, don't say it, the army is about to arrive in the city, the most important thing for you and me now is to welcome the triumph of the king!" ”

"Exactly! Yes, extremely! ”

This is the first victory of the Great Song Dynasty in many years, even the victory of the Battle of Tanyuan did not excite them much, but today's Western Expedition army is enough to make the Great Song people proud.
