Chapter 212: See you in the back garden

Li Gu then read out several edicts, Fu Zhaoxin was named the founding uncle of Chenliu County, and all the cadres in the government were named the founding sons, and Liu Heyang and Ma Guangda were both founding men.

After finishing the business, Li Gu smiled and asked Li Zhongyi: "Where is Wang Zhao, the lord of Goryeo?" ”

"Li Xianggong, please come here." Li Zhongyi politely led Li Gu to Wang Zhao's car.

Li Gu saw Wang Zhao who was depressed, and thought to himself that the king who had left the country was really like a lost dog, and without any support, it was no wonder that Wang Zhao was in a bad mood.

"Is the king okay all the way? In the lower Li Valley, Xi is the Great Zhou Tongzhong Book Gate under the Ping Zhang. Li Gu arched his hand and looked very polite, but it was only an arch of his hand.

Li Gu was the second minister of the Great Zhou, and according to the Zhou system, the prime minister was a hundred bureaucrats, and his status was higher than that of the kings of the small subordinate states.

"It turned out to be Li Xianggong, Xiao Wang is not suitable to cross the ocean in a boat, and his health is not good, so please ask Li Xianggong to do a lot of Haihan." Wang Zhao returned the salute weakly, and his spirit was sluggish.

Li Gu was also very considerate of Wang Zhao's difficult situation, but he did not deliberately embarrass him, and said with a smile: "The Son of Heaven misses the king very much, and he came to welcome the king into the palace. ”

"Heavenly grace is mighty......" Wang Zhao heard that Chai Rong was thinking about him, although he secretly hated him in his heart, his face looked unusually respectful, and he said a lot of beautiful words.

Li Gu was used to hearing these sycophants, he just smiled, but did not answer.

After Wang Zhao finished talking nonsense, Li Gu lightly instructed Li Zhongyi and Fu Zhaoxin, "Your Majesty summons you and the two of you and enter the palace with me." ”

"Whoa." Li Gu rode on a horse and personally accompanied Wang Zhao, the lord of Goryeo, to gossip. Li Zhongyi and Fu Zhaoxin followed behind them and entered the palace together to see Chai Rong.

According to the military order of the Privy Council, the officers and men of the Broken Army were led by officers. Stationed at the newly built camp near the North Gate of Gyeonggi.

The new camp of the Broken Captives Army is just south of the Yellow River, and it is only five miles away from the north gate of Kaifeng City, Fengqiu Gate, which controls the throat of the southern crossing from the Yellow River.

As long as there is something in the capital, after the edict is served, it will be within half an hour. You can enter Kaifeng and be escorted by King Qin.

In terms of nature, the current status of the Broken Army. and the elite northern army of the Han Dynasty, quite similar.

Clear-eyed people know that Chai Rong's arrangement is obviously a broken army that has undergone a cruel test of blood and fire. Regarded as a henchman Yu Lin Army. It is used to deter careerists from all sides, both inside and out.

I had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time, and when I saw Li Gu and Wang Zhao, I hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said with a flattering smile: "The saint has an edict, see you in the Wende Palace." ”

Wende Hall is the first important main hall of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and its status is exactly the same as that of the Taihe Hall in the Forbidden City.

The most important event of the Great Zhou Dynasty. For example, the emperor's enthronement, the canonization of the crown prince, etc., must be held here.

Li Zhongyi has been in Da Zhou since he came. I have never entered the Wende Palace, and this time it is considered to have opened a foreign meat.

Wang Zhao is also a person who reads poetry and books, and when he heard that Chai Rong was going to summon him in the Wende Palace, he couldn't help but hate him in his heart. Obviously, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty wanted to take him, the first vassal king to enter Beijing to worship, and show off his outstanding martial arts in this expedition to Goryeo in front of the civil and military ministers.

As a result, Chai Rong became the biggest beneficiary, however, Wang Zhao became the most unlucky victim, how could he have no complaints in his heart?

Li Zhongyi followed behind Li Gu and Wang Zhao and slowly walked into the Wende Palace, at this time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had been waiting for them for a long time.

Li Gu returned to the prime ministers' shifts, and Li Zhongyi was led to a new position by the chamberlain, standing in the second row of the Wende Palace.

There is no way, although Li Zhongyi was promoted to the founding county marquis from the third grade, but aside from the highest-ranking ministers such as the prime minister and the cardinals, there are princes, heirs, county kings, princes, princes, founding county princes and founding county princes above him.

However, most of the people standing in front of Li Zhongyi are white old ministers.

Like Li Zhongyi, who is so young, he is among the ranks of the purple-robed ministers, no matter how you look at it, it is very eye-catching.

"The little king of the lower state, the minister Wang Zhao knocks to see His Majesty." Wang Zhao pinched his nose, bowed heavily, and knelt in front of Chai Rong.

Chai Rong touched the short beard under his head, and said with a polite smile: "The king traveled far across the ocean, took a boat for thousands of miles, and came to Kaifeng. ”

Wang Zhao was angry in his heart, he knelt down and saluted, Chai Rong said such hypocritical polite words, isn't this bullying?

"Thank you." Wang Zhao was also at a loss, so he had to thank Chai Rong for his grace with a smile on his face.

"It's rare for the king to come to our country once, so he will stay in Kaifeng City for a few more days, right?" Chai Rong asked Wang Zhao with a smile.

Wang Zhao smiled fakely, and said: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, the minister has always been busy with government affairs, and his body and bones don't look very neat, and he should really enjoy a few days of happiness." ”

After Chai Rong heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, this Wang Zhao had hidden words in his words, and it seemed that he was still not giving up.

"Since the king is tired, let me rest for a few more days. I have already chosen a good place for the king, and everything is furnished in accordance with Goryeo customs. If the king is not satisfied, he can change it anytime and anywhere. Chai Rong's faint command made Wang Zhao feel particularly awkward in his heart.

Even the house has been built and arranged a long time ago, but it is conceivable how long has Chai Rong been thinking about Goryeo?

In fact, Wang Zhao really wronged Chai Rong. When Chai Rong sent Li Zhongyi to rescue Goryeo, he really didn't think that he would take Goryeo with 3,000 miles of rivers and mountains in one fell swoop.

Later, because Li Zhongyi's progress in Goryeo was too fast, and the harvest was extremely rich, he obtained nearly one million stone for grain alone.

After carefully analyzing Li Zhongyi's recital, Chai Rong decisively issued a secret order, asking Li Zhongyi to completely control the Goryeo Kingdom.

Wang Zhao didn't have the heart to chat with Chai Rong, and after saying some homely things that were not salty or light, he hurriedly left under the pretext of being unwell.

Chai Rong was full of smiles, putting on the elegant demeanor of the Supreme State of the Heavenly Empire, not only gave a lot of property, but also ordered the second prime minister Wang Pu to personally send Wang Zhao back to the newly built palace.

After Wang Zhao left. Chai Rong summoned Li Zhongyi out of the shift, and asked him with a smile: "Li Qing, you tell Zhu Qing about it." What is the harvest of this expedition to Goryeo? ”

Li Zhongyi described the general situation of this expedition to Goryeo in a vivid and colorful manner. When the ministers heard that more than 5 million yuan had been seized in copper coins alone, they couldn't help but secretly say that the harvest of the country's achievements was really amazing!

Li Zhongyi arched his hands and said, "Your Majesty." The culprit of this disaster in the country of Goryeo, the Japanese chief Fujiwara Shisuke, has been captured by Weichen to Kaifeng. Please make it clear what should be done? ”

"Just in front of the yamen of Kaifeng Mansion for ten days, it's not too late to cut it." Chai Rong doesn't have much concept of the so-called Wa Kingdom. He was just from Li Zhongyi's recital. I only knew a little about the Wa Kingdom.

Fujiwara Shifu is just a mere chieftain of the Wa Kingdom, and he is not the king of the North or South Courtyard who captured the Khitan, and Chai Rong is not much interested, summoning an overseas barbarian.

In Chai Rong's view, the Goryeo Kingdom, which could threaten the Khitan from the northeast, was much more important than the so-called Wa Kingdom, which was rarely heard of.

After pacifying the Goryeo Kingdom, Chai Rong came to the Northern Expedition to the Khitan. There is another strategic attack route, which is the most important factor for Li Zhongyi to become a marquis.

"Fan Xianggong. Li Wuyi's new position, the political affairs hall should be discussed, right? Chai Rong suddenly turned his head and asked Xiang Fan Qian, who was standing in the front row.

As soon as Li Zhongyi heard this, he understood in his heart that big trouble was coming.

From Li Zhongyi's victory to his arrival in Kaifeng with his army, it took at least more than three months. However, the current reward of the imperial court for him is only to determine a vain marquis.

It is conceivable that the important ministers of the court must have extremely strict disagreements about the new position that Li Zhongyi should be promoted.

"Back to His Majesty, the ministers and other public councils, Li Zhongyi is good at financial management, and he should be the most suitable person for the deputy envoy of the third division." Fan Zhen seems to be praising Li Zhongyi's strengths, but in fact, he intentionally or unintentionally ignores that he is also good at leading troops to fight.

Li Zhongyi's heart basically has the bottom, the ministers want to take away his military power and give a little financial power, which shows that the prime ministers of the political hall have really taken great pains to arrange his new position.

Although the deputy envoy of the third division is sent, his status in the court is not low, and he must be appointed by a promoted official above the fifth rank, and he has a lot of financial power.

Chai Rong pursed his lips and said, "Then let's discuss it again." Obviously, he was not very satisfied with Fan Zhen's mention, but he couldn't slap his face in public, otherwise, Fan Zhen would have to resign immediately.

As a result, Li Zhongyi's appointment was shelved.

To be honest, Li Zhongyi has a completely indifferent attitude towards the upcoming official position.

In this post-Zhou period when Wufu was in power, except for military power, other things were trivial matters that had nothing to do with the overall situation for Li Zhongyi.

Now, even if Li Zhongyi leaves the Broken Army, his imprint has been deeply rooted in this group.

Being able to wield extraordinary influence on the most elite guns of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the biggest bargaining chip that Li Zhongyi can easily use in the chaos that may occur in the future.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Zhongyi, who went out with Fu Zhaoxin, was called to the back garden of the inner hall by the inner servant again.

It was still the old place last time, Li Zhongyi was far away and saw his mother, Mrs. Xue, holding a pair of twins who had turned one year old in her arms, sitting opposite Fu Guifei and Liang Wang Chai Zongxun in an unusually restrained manner.

After turning the flowers, Li Zhongyi suddenly appeared, and his little concubine was actually sitting on the right side of Fu Guifei.

At this time, outside the pavilion, Chai Rong's hearty laughter suddenly came, "Little thing, if you pee on my hands, I will definitely break your little ass." ”

Li Zhongyi followed the sound and looked, good guy, his baby son Li Jiyi, was actually held in Chai Rong's arms and teased.

"Your Majesty, the child is ignorant, if you stain your dragon robe, the whole family of Weichen will die and will not be redeemed." Li Zhongyi hurriedly ran over and wanted to take Li Jiyi from Chai Rong's hand.

Chai Rong laughed and gently pinched Li Jiyi's puffy little face, but deliberately turned around and didn't let Li Zhongyi take his son over.

"No blame, your son and my son are very close to each other. Just now, Brother Qing told me that he liked Ruzi very much. Chai Rong smiled happily.

Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that Chai Rong was deliberately reminding him that the top and bottom of their Li family had an inseparable relationship with Chai Zongxun, the king of Liang, and it was difficult to separate.

"Father, the son likes to play with his little nephew the most." Chai Zongxun, who was sitting in the pavilion, suddenly stood up, ran to Chai Rong, stretched out his little paws, and grabbed Li Jiyi's fleshy little hand.

Chai Rong lowered his head and deliberately asked Chai Zongxun: "Brother Qing, the little nephew can't even speak, what do you like about him?" ”

Chai Zongxun was obviously not very afraid of Chai Rong, he said with a smile: "The little nephew is an official of my Liang Palace, and he is a generation shorter than Erchen, so Erchen naturally cares for him a little more." ”

Alas, this is the five-year-old Chai Zongxun, how can he be so smart? Nobody has taught him, has he? In Li Zhongyi's heart, it was inevitable that he would mutter. (To be continued!)
