As soon as Kou Ji rushed to the carriage, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Xiang Yan poked his head out of it and saw Kou Ji.

"Xianggong ......"

Xiang Yan was overjoyed and called out in a low voice.

"Yan'er ......"

A bright smile also appeared on Kou Ji's face.

Xiang Yan lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and hurriedly said, "Xianggong come up quickly, it's cold outside." ”

Kou Ji nodded, waited for the carriage to stop, and stepped into the carriage.

Entering the carriage, Kou Ji felt a warm current rushing towards him.

There were only two people in the carriage, one Xiang Yan and the other Kou Tianci.

There was not a single servant or maid who served.

Kou Tianci was sleeping soundly on a small rocking bed, with several kettles beside the bed.

Xiang Yan sat on the side, waiting carefully.

Kou Ji got into the carriage and wanted to hold Xiang Yan for a while, but when he saw that Kou Tianci was asleep, he could only temporarily put down his mind and sit beside Xiang Yan.

Xiang Yan looked at Kou Tianci who was sleeping in the shaker, looked at Kou Ji again, and laughed in a low voice: "I haven't seen my son for a long time, do you miss my son?" ”

Kou Ji accompanied Xiang Yan to look at Kou Tianci in the shaker, and said with a slight sigh: "I have only been away from Beijing for half a year, and he has grown so big?" ”

Xiang Yan smiled and said: "You are running around all day long, and you are not by his side, so you naturally think that he grows up fast." The concubine accompanied him all day long, but she didn't feel this way. ”

After a pause, Xiang Yan said to Kou Ji as if asking for credit: "Our son called his father back......"

It's okay that Xiang Yan didn't mention this, but as soon as he mentioned this, Kou Ji thought of the scene where Kou Tianci took advantage of himself, and his face darkened slightly.

"What's so strange about a one-year-old child being called Daddy?"

Kou Ji said with a nonchalant expression.

Xiang Yan laughed in a low voice: "The first thing he learned was the word 'father'. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, his face darkened.

"People haven't grown up yet, they're so snobbish...... This son can't be wanted, let's have another ......"

Xiang Yan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Nonsense, grandfather doesn't feel sorry for him a lot, almost every few days, he sends someone to send a letter back to Beijing to ask him about his current situation." It's you, you've been away for more than half a year, and you haven't written a few letters to your family. ”

In the face of Xiang Yan's accusation, Kou Ji's face was a little red, but his mouth was extremely tough, "Can grandfather compare with me?" My grandfather is now an idler, and he can write 800 letters a day, but I am different, I am very busy.

The piles and piles are all major events related to the safety and security of the country. ”

Xiang Yan glanced at Kou Ji, "The concubine knows that you Kou has a lot of credit, a high official position, and a heavy responsibility. Therefore, the concubine does not dare to trouble you on weekdays. ”

Kou Ji smiled cheekily.

The husband and wife sat together and talked for a while.

Most of the time, Xiang Yan is talking, and Kou Ji is listening.

Most of them are some interesting things that Kou Tianci did in Bianjing City.

Kou Ji did not mention his assassination, and Xiang Yan did not mention that he was threatened in Bianjing City.

It's not that the husband and wife don't care about it.

Kou Ji was assassinated and sent a message to Bianjing City.

Xiang Yan was threatened and also sent a message to Kou Ji.

Each other's encounters are well known to each other.

Some words are to be saved for the evening, in the bedroom.

A family of three took a carriage to Xingqing Mansion, and along the main road all the way to the front of Xingqing Palace, they saw Kou Zhun half-squinting and drowsy standing at the gate of Xingqing Palace.

Some past officials, relatives and relatives of the emperor, after seeing Kou Zhun, gave their hands one after another.

Kou Zhun didn't seem to see them.

Officials, relatives of the emperor, those bad things done in Bianjing City, Kou Zhun knew earlier than Kou Ji, and Kou Zhun was unwilling to give a good face to those who were worried about Koufu's industry and their ancestors' heads.

With Kou Zhun's current age, he doesn't need to give a salute when he sees Zhao Zhen, let alone them.

Kou Zhun was standing in front of the gate of Xingqing Palace, about to fall asleep, after seeing the carriage of Kou Mansion appear, he immediately became energetic, he quickly came to the carriage, and shouted urgently: "Where is the old man's great-grandson?" ”

Hearing Kou Zhun's voice, Kou Ji and Xiang Yan hurriedly got out of the car to salute.

Kou Zhun didn't care, and asked, "What about the old man's great-grandson?" ”

Xiang Yan hurriedly said: "Tianci'er just fell asleep......"

Kou Zhun hurriedly lowered his tone and said to Kou Ji and Xiang Yan: "Then the two of you hurry up and go to the palace to see the official's house, and the old man will sleep with Tianci'er for a while." ”

Kou Ji and Xiang Yan glanced at each other and smiled wryly.

Xiang Yan whispered: "Grandfather, Tianci'er is also among the summons. ”

When Kou Zhun heard this, his face was a little unsightly, and he chattered: "A milk doll, what can you do when you enter the palace......

Xiang Yan smiled bitterly.

Kou Zhun muttered dissatisfiedly, "The old man is a minister of the official family, and he can't go against the will of the official family, so you can bring Tianci'er into the palace." When I look back, remember to bring Tianci'er to see the old man. ”

Xiang Yan agreed.

Kou Zhun put his hands behind his back and hummed, ready to leave.

Kou Ji hurriedly asked, "Grandfather doesn't go into the palace to take a look?" ”

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and said nonchalantly, "What is there to see?" Looking at a bunch of unsuccessful juniors, standing in front of the official family and trembling? ”

Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.

The juniors who are not successful in Kou Zhun's mouth refer to those civil officials.

In Kou Zhun's eyes, those complaining Wenchen, after seeing the millions of soldiers and civilians outside the city, they didn't dare to gasp, and they were not successful.

After Kou Zhun finished speaking, he left with his hands behind his back.

Kou Ji took Xiang Yan to the front of Xingqing Palace.

Xiang Yan had to wake up the sleeping Kou Tianci, holding the sleepy-eyed and dazed Kou Tianci, and accompanied Kou Ji into the palace.

All the way along the avenue, under the attention of countless gold-armored soldiers, a family of three arrived in front of the main hall of Xingqing Palace.

The New Year is approaching, and it is the time to reward the ministers, so the inside and outside of Xingqing Palace are particularly festive.

Inside and outside the hall, those dressed in red and hung colors, the past eunuchs and palace ladies were all beaming.

There were thousands of civil and military officials standing outside the hall, standing straight one by one, and as far as the eye could see, it was green.

There are only a few hundred officials in the hall, either red or purple.

The earth fire dragon in the hall burned very vigorously.

After the civil and military ministers entered it, many of them took off their thick clothes and handed them over to the eunuchs for safekeeping.

Kou Ji took Xiang Yan and Kou Tian into the palace, and also handed over the clothes and other clothes on his body to the eunuchs for safekeeping.

Some people looked at Xiang Yan and a woman entering the hall, frowning dissatisfiedly.

Some people looked at Kou Tianci in Xiang Yan's arms and showed a loving smile.

"In a blink of an eye, the little ones are so big?"

After Kou Ji's family of three appeared, Zhu Neng came over, stared at Kou Tianci, and said with a happy face.

Kou Ji smiled: "It's one and a half years old......"

"Hahaha......"

Zhu Neng laughed and said to Kou Tianci: "It's called Ah Weng...... Aung has good things for you......"

Aung means grandfather.

In private, you can call your grandfather or an elder with a side surname.

Generally in Bianjing City, it is used to address the elders with the surname next to them.

Zhu Neng had the intention to let Kou Tianci call him grandfather, but Kou Tianci had a godfather who was too big, so he had to go back.

Otherwise, it is taking advantage of the officials.

Take advantage of the official's family, and then you won't be sprayed to death.

Zhu Neng's eyes widened, staring at Kou Tianci expectantly.

Kou Tianci blinked and stared at Zhu Neng for a long time before he shouted softly.

"Ah...... Awen......"

"Hey!"

Zhu Neng heard Kou Tianci call himself 'Ah Weng', and happily agreed, smiling brightly.

Zhu Neng decisively took out a small golden knife inlaid with various colored gems from his arms and handed it to Kou Tianci.

Kou Ji looked at it, was slightly stunned, and said in a low voice: "If I remember correctly, this is the most precious thing you have captured in this expedition to Western Xia?" ”

The value of the small gold knife is not high.

But the identity of the person holding the knife is very high, and the value of the little golden knife is infinitely raised.

The small golden knife is the golden knife used by the patriarch of the Yeli tribe in Western Xia.

When Zhu Neng attacked Xingqing Mansion, he fought hand-to-hand with Ye Li Yuqi, the new patriarch of the Yeli tribe, for a long time, and he took a few beats before he hacked Ye Li Yu Qi to death.

It can be said that the little golden knife was bought by Zhu Neng at the risk of his life, and according to the habits of the warriors, they will treasure similar things by themselves.

When Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji counted the seizures after the war, they did not collect them.

Because they know that warriors like to treasure things like that.

So accommodating the warriors.

Zhu Neng heard Kou Ji's words, and said with a big grin: "It's enough for me to have the head of Yeli Yuqi." The knife will be given to Tianci'er to play with, and when Tianci'er grows up, I will help him get a better one. ”

Kou Ji knew that Zhu Neng had good intentions and couldn't refuse, so he thanked Zhu Neng on behalf of Kou Tianci.

Zhu Neng made a start, and the others naturally couldn't pretend not to see it.

One by one, when Kou Ji and Xiang Yan were passing by with Kou Tianci in their arms, they all came up to give some meeting gifts.

Even if they don't like it, they have to deal with it in their face.

Some of them gave Kou Tianci a greeting gift, which was to save Kou Ji's face.

Others gave gifts to Kou Tianci, which was to save face for Zhao Zhen.

A family of three walked all the way to the hall, a little embarrassed.

Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai have just finished talking with Liaohe, and they are still on the way back to the court.

Wang Zeng is still in charge of Bianjing City.

Koji couldn't find a proper place to stand.

According to his current northwest meridian to pacify the envoy, it is just right to stand at the intersection of vermilion.

But he was not an ordinary pacification envoy of the Northwest Meridian, he stopped at the place where the vermilion intersected, and those people in purple clothes ran behind him one by one.

Kou Ji couldn't find a place to stand, and Xiang Yan couldn't find a place to go.

Kou Tianci's official position is just a seven-rank prince attendant.

But he still has the name of Zhao Zhen's godson on his head.

In the Wenchen class in the hall, there is no place given by Kou Tianci.

Where the emperor's relatives sit, Xiang Yan was embarrassed to go.

The husband and wife hesitated for a long time, and finally a eunuch came forward, took Xiang Yan and hugged Kou Tianci, and sat in the column of the emperor's relatives.

Kou Ji reluctantly went to Wenchen's first stop.

As the saying goes, there are no tigers in the mountains, and Kou Ji is called the king.

The three prime ministers Lu Yijian, Zhang Zhibai, and Wang Zeng were not there, and no one dared to go to the first place, so they could only be on top of Kou Ji.

The civil and military classes stood still, and the emperor's relatives sat down.

Zhao Zhencai joined hands with Empress Cao and appeared in the main hall.

Zhao Zhen originally instructed Empress Cao to rest, but considering that this place was not Bianjing City, and the main hall of Xingqing Palace was not a vertical arch hall, he took Empress Cao to appear in the main hall together.

Zhao Zhen sat down with Empress Cao.

Chen Lin snorted.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the relatives of the emperor and the country, bowed down in unison.

"Ministers and other officials see the official ......"

"Ministers see the queen's ......"

Zhao Zhen said very majestically: "Zhong Aiqing doesn't have to be polite......

Empress Cao smiled kindly and agreed.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the relatives of the emperor and the country, all straightened their waists.

Zhao Zhen commanded: "Give the seat!" ”

After bowing down and taking a seat, the imperial relatives slowly sat down.

Zhao Zhen looked around at everyone in the hall, straightened his waist slightly, and solemnly announced: "This year, my Great Song Dynasty first conquered the Liao State, and then conquered the Western Xia, and now the Liao Kingdom has bowed down, and the Western Xia has been ambushed.

My Great Song is no longer what it used to be, and no strong enemy dares to shout at my Great Song. ”

Everyone in the main hall, after hearing Zhao Zhen's words, saluted together.

"Congratulations for the Great Song Dynasty, congratulations for the official family!"

Zhao Zhen continued: "At the beginning of my succession, my Great Song Dynasty was weak, surrounded by strong enemies, and the people of my Great Song Dynasty were worried about military disasters all the time. I sleep at night, and I dare not be a little slack in government affairs and military affairs.

The ministers are diligent in government affairs and help me stabilize the world.

The soldiers fought desperately to expand the territory for us.

It is the single-mindedness of our monarchs and ministers that has created today's Great Song Dynasty. ”

Everyone in the main hall saluted again, and said loudly: "For the Great Song Dynasty, for the officials, the ministers and others will never give up." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded slowly, "Very good...... I'm very pleased......"

Zhao Zhen looked around at the ministers and said: "I specially summoned all of you here, the long journey, the journey is tiring, some of you have complaints, I know it in my heart."

I didn't mean to toss you, I did this with my intentions.

When the soldiers went out on the expedition, I promised the soldiers that after they succeeded, I would reward them here, and praise them in front of the civil and military officials. ”

When the ministers heard this, you look at me, I look at you, do you think Zhao Zhen is a little excited.

Zhao Zhen stared at the ministers and continued, "I know that some of you feel that my move is a bit of a stir-ramp. But I just want to mobilize the people, and I want to use this to tell everyone in the world.

But anyone who is willing to make contributions to my Great Song Dynasty, regardless of martial arts, I can raise teachers and mobilize the people to praise and celebrate them.

Not only do I have to praise them here, but I also have to praise them in Bianjing City.

I even want to set up a Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion in Bianjing City, and hang the portraits of all the civil and military ministers who have contributed to my Great Song Dynasty, so that future generations will remember them. ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the relatives of the emperor and the country, were all a little moved when they heard Zhao Zhen's words.

Zhao Zhen wants to set up Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion?

I'm afraid it has a fight with the Lingyan Pavilion of the Tang Dynasty.

But whoever enters the cabinet, his status and fame will increase greatly.

What's more, the people who enter the cabinet are like an extra gold medal for avoiding death, which is really the kind that can avoid death.

As long as you don't rebel, even if you make a big mistake, you will probably be forgiven.

It is by no means comparable to those useless Danshu iron scrolls in the martial arts families.

What's more, as long as the future emperors do not take out the portraits of the people who entered the cabinet from the Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion, their children and grandchildren can also get some care from the court.

Among them, the word Zhaoxun responds to the military ministers.

The word Chongde responds to Wenchen.

In other words, Wenchen and military generals have a chance.

While the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were moved, they were thinking about whether they had a chance to enter the Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion.

Kou Ji was the only one who was really shocked by Zhao Zhen's words.

According to historical records, the Song Dynasty did establish the Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion.

It's just that it was not established when Renzong Zhao Zhen was in the dynasty, but when Zhao Yun was in the reign of Emperor Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty.

There are portraits of twenty-four meritorious heroes stored in it, so some people call them the twenty-four meritorious heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion.

The twenty-four heroes of the Zhaoxun Pavilion of the Song Dynasty are not as famous as the twenty-four heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion of the Tang Dynasty.

Part of the reason for this is because of the emperor who built the attic.

The other part is that the twenty-four heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty are almost all the heroes of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

The twenty-four heroes of the Zhaoxun Pavilion include all the heroes of the Song Dynasty.

They are Zhao Pu, Cao Bin, Xue Juzheng, Shi Xizai, Pan Mei, Li Xin, Wang Dan, Li Jilong, Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian, Cao Wei, Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang, Fu Bi, Sima Guang, Han Zhongyan, Lu Yihao, Zhao Ding, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Chen Kangbo, Shi Hao, Ge Yi, Zhao Ruyu.

Most of them were civil ministers, and there were very few military ministers.

There is another reason why the twenty-four heroes of the Zhaoxun Pavilion are not as famous as the twenty-four heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion, and that is because some of them are not qualified to be included in it.

For example, Shi Xizai.

This man had served as a privy councillor.

But it did not contribute much to the Great Song Dynasty.

During his tenure in the DPRK, he also belonged to the ordinary kind.

It's not a big achievement, and there's nothing wrong with it.

There are also those who are qualified to enter it, but are not listed among them.

For example, Gao Huaide.

Gao Huaide's contribution to the Great Song Dynasty cannot be said to exceed that of everyone in the Zhaoxun Pavilion, but at least it can exceed more than half.

Such a person, but not included in it.

It can be seen that the judgment of the 24 heroes of the Zhaoxun Pavilion is unfair, so it is not recognized.

Zhao Zhen took out something that would only appear more than two hundred years later, and Kou Ji was naturally surprised.

He had never told Zhao Zhen anything like this.

He hadn't heard anyone talk to Zhao Zhen about anything similar.

He didn't suspect that Zhao Zhen was a traverser like him.

He was just a little skeptical that Zhao Zhen had sent someone into his tent during the Great War when he was sleeping and listened to him talk about his dreams.

After all, what you will do when you fall asleep, others don't tell you, and you don't know it.

Just when Koji was thinking nonsense.

Zhao Zhen has already begun to instruct Chen Lin to praise the soldiers.

"Summoning meritorious soldiers to the temple!"

Chen Lin snorted.

Some of the soldiers whose merits were great enough to be qualified to appear in front of the Manchu civil and military forces, wearing armor, entered the hall.

After they saluted Zhao Zhen, they stood in the hall upright.

Chen Lin held a volume of documents and began to discuss in detail the skills of the soldiers.

As small as a few enemies.

As big as attacking the city and pulling out the village, all of them were recorded, and all of them were preached to the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.

Chen Lin is not the only one preaching.

While Chen Lin was preaching, there were eight imperial guards outside the hall, repeating his words to the officials standing outside the hall.

The scene of praise lasted for a day.

This day can be said to be the proudest day of the warriors.

Because nine out of ten of those who were praised were martial artists, and there were only seven or eight civil servants.

And the seven or eight civil servants who were praised were also praised because of their meritorious deeds on the battlefield.

For example, there is a pusher.

Follow the captain to sweep down a small clan.

As soon as he entered the location of the small tribe, the captain was shot dead by the small tribe's marksman.

The soldiers were in a mess.

The magistrate was in danger, personally picked up the knife, slashed and killed a few soldiers who fled, and then took the lead himself, led other soldiers into the small tribe, and swept away the small tribe.

Although he was a civil official, he made a lot of contributions on the battlefield, and was also praised in front of the Manchu civil and military forces.

After a boasting meeting.

The warriors left the main hall of Xingqing Palace with great satisfaction.

The ministers hung their heads one by one, like frosted eggplants.

The ministers wanted to find a reason to kill the prestige of the military ministers.

But in Xingqing Mansion, they didn't dare.

Inside and outside Xingqing Mansion, there are now many soldiers and horses, among which there are some people who have received the favor of military ministers and are willing to sacrifice their lives for military ministers.

They found trouble with the military ministers in the palace today, and it was difficult to ensure that when they walked in the Xingqing Mansion, they would not be cut into seven or eight pieces by those who repaid their kindness on their own initiatives.

When the civil and military ministers left the main hall of Xingqing Palace, Kou Ji followed out of the main hall of Xingqing Palace, he stood at the door, staring at the military minister who left with his head up, and then looked at the dejected departing Wenchen, and muttered in a low voice.

"I really want to transfer Han Qi from Hexi and let him stand here to see if he can confidently shout the sentence 'Donghua Gate Roll Call Fang is a good son'......"

"Who is Han Qi?"

Chen Lin didn't know when she appeared beside Kou Ji and asked in a low voice.

Kou Ji didn't panic because he said something he shouldn't say, but looked at Chen Lin very calmly and said, "A scholar who thinks that martial artists are inferior to literati......"

Chen Lin said disdainfully: "Most people who read only live with one mouth...... The knife was on the neck, and they changed their words faster than anyone else......"

Kou Ji didn't want to discuss this issue with Chen Lin, so he asked, "You don't wait for the official family inside, what are you doing when you come out?" ”

Chen Lin said helplessly: "After the official family left the Manchu Dynasty, they hugged the young master over to play for a while, gave the young master a soak in divine water, and stained a lot of edicts.

The official summoned you in to accompany him in and redraft the edict. ”

Kou Ji was stunned and said, "Wouldn't it be better to leave it to the people of Zhongshushe?" ”

Chen Lin glanced at Kou Ji and said, "Young Master Ci's mistakes can't be borne by others, right?" The official family is still very fair in similar matters. ”

Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin, "Tell the truth!" ”

Chen Lin said lightly: "The official family thinks that some people's rewards should be changed by one or two, so I will discuss it with you." ”

Kou Ji glared at Chen Lin and stepped into the main hall of Xingqing Palace.

Chen Lin seemed to be used to being glared at by Kou Ji, and he didn't get angry, and followed Kou Ji into the main hall of Xingqing Palace.

As soon as Kou Ji entered the main hall, he saw Kou Tianci sitting on the dragon case, with a pile of holy decrees piled up in front of him, and he was tearing and playing.

Zhao Zhen sat aside with a smile and lured in a low voice: "Let the father of my life listen to ......"

Kou Tianci shouted softly while tearing up the holy decree.

"Father's ......"

Zhao Zhen's smile is bright.

Empress Cao also looked at it with a smile on her face, but there was a trace of sadness in her eyes.

Xiang Yan fidgeted somewhere.
