Shocked, the spring thunder woke up the sleeping insects in the ground, and the earth was completely revived.

Accompanied by the cold spring breeze, the three of Champion Hou, Chang Shenghou, and Pingbo Hou returned to Kyoto one after another, making the already oppressive atmosphere even more subtle.

The last to come back was the champion Hou Zhuge Yuanxiong.

After he entered the city, he first returned to the military headquarters to report for duty, and then hurriedly met His Majesty and the crown prince, and did not even return home.

As soon as Xiao Rui heard that his father-in-law was back, he immediately ordered someone to prepare good tea and went to invite His Majesty at the same time.

Zhuge Yuanxiong walked into the Heart Cultivation Palace, looked at Xiao Rui who was sitting on the dragon chair, and was a little stunned on his face calmly, and he was stunned there.

Coincidentally, Emperor Xia happened to come over, saw Zhuge Yuanxiong in a daze, patted him on the shoulder, and asked with a smile, "What are you stunned?" ”

Zhuge Yuanxiong turned around and saw that it was His Majesty, and hurriedly bowed, but he was stopped by Emperor Xia, and said with a smile: "You are fighting for Great Xia, and you have worked hard, and the etiquette is exempt." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhuge Yuanxiong said with a smile.

Emperor Xia continued to ask: "You haven't answered me yet, why are you stunned!" ”

Zhuge Yuanxiong looked at Xiao Rui and said with emotion: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a great demeanor, and the appearance of reviewing the chapter at this time is similar to that of His Majesty back then, and it is quite Your Majesty's demeanor!" ”

Xia Huang laughed, glanced at Xiao Rui, who was stepping off the dragon chair, and said with relief: "I haven't seen you for a few years, when did your mouth become so sweet, could it be that your father-in-law praised his son-in-law, the more he praised, the happier he became?" ”

Zhuge Yuanxiong couldn't help laughing, when Xiao Rui ascended the throne, he would be the ruler of the country, and his grandson was likely to be the crown prince, and their Zhuge family had also grown from an ordinary military general family to a top family in Great Xia, all of which was naturally because he had a good son-in-law, so Emperor Xia was not wrong to joke.

At this time, Xiao Rui came over, he saluted Emperor Xia, Zhuge Yuanxiong saluted him, and then he returned to his home.

There is a country first, and then there is a family, so the gift of the monarch and the minister must be put in front.

The three of them took their seats, and Emperor Xia asked, "What is the situation in the Anbei Prefectures?" ”

Zhuge Yuanxiong said: "Yue Fei recommended by His Royal Highness is definitely a tiger general, maybe his combat power is not as powerful as Li Cunxiao and Yang Youji, but he is familiar with the art of war, full of strategy, and good use of thinking, in just two months, he trained a Yuejia army specifically for the cavalry of the Yuan State, they used hemp knives to cooperate with the pit, the cavalry used hook and sickle guns, killed the Yuan army to flee north, and when he came back, the Yuan army had been dispersed out of the Anbei Prefectures, Yue Fei and Li Cunxiao They also pulled the border defense line to the position planned before. When this period of spring plowing is over, the people can be organized to cultivate the city wall according to the river and mountain terrain, and cast the city pass. ”

"As for the traitors in the territory, they are almost cut off, only the last wave of Nanshan Army traitors in Pengzhou are also ready to be exterminated, and the people in other states have resumed production and stabilized the people. Of course, there are still restless traitors, but they can't make any waves, and Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured."

As he narrated, Xiao Rui and Emperor Xia got far more detailed information than in the recital. Ye Wendao, recommended by Xiao Rui, is indeed very capable, both literate and martial, and with the cooperation of the champion Hou, he can basically get rid of the entire Anbei region so quickly.

After listening to the story of the champion Hou, Emperor Xia directly stated the purpose: "What I am most afraid of is that Anbei is unstable, and only when Anbei is stable, can my plan be carried out." When you return to Beijing this time, you will hand over the right to lead the troops, and enjoy the feeling of the future ruler! ”

Zhuge Yuanxiong nodded with a smile and said, "I understand!" After fighting on the battlefield for so long, it's time to rest! ”

As the prince's father-in-law, you don't have to think about it to understand that he will support him.

Emperor Xia said: "Your grandson is so old, you haven't seen it yet, let the princess go home and live for a few days, your grandson, there is your shadow, he has great strength since he was a child, and he will definitely be able to tear tigers and leopards when he grows up!" ”

"Really?" Zhuge Yuanxiong has a keen eye, his wife died early, only Liuying has a daughter, and he is away all the year round, he cares too little about his daughter, and he didn't rush back when his daughter got married and gave birth, so he felt guilty.

Now that his daughter has given birth to a grandson, he is even more aroused by his next-generation relatives, and he can't wait to hug his grandson now.

Xiao Rui watched the topic of the two of them talk about his grandson, and couldn't help but be happy.

Leave Zhuge Yuanxiong to have lunch in the palace, and then let him out of the palace, accompanied by Zhuge Liuying and the child, go home and live for a few days, you should make up for Zhuge Yuanxiong.

After returning to the Heart Cultivation Palace, Emperor Xia asked, "Hai Companion, is the portrait ready?" ”

Hai Dafu said: "Back to His Royal Highness, except for the portrait of the champion marquis, the others are ready, and the slave maid has also personally checked it, brave and majestic, I believe that several military marquis will be satisfied after seeing it!" ”

Emperor Xia nodded and said, "Let the painter prepare a portrait of the champion Hou as soon as possible!" ”

"The slave understands." Hai Dafu said respectfully.

Then, Emperor Xia looked at the crown prince and said, "Emperor, the matter of Lingyun Pavilion can begin, find an introduction to push it out tomorrow morning, and make it grand!" ”

"Erchen understands!" Xiao Rui replied with a smile.

This is the "Lingyan Pavilion" of the Great Xia Kingdom, and it must be grand tomorrow!

The next morning.

Emperor Xia sat on the dragon chair, looking at his nose and nose, as if he was outside the gods. Since Xiao Rui was in charge of the country, his position has also moved from below to Emperor Xia's side, as if Emperor Xia is making soy sauce, and the prince will do everything for him.

Xiao Rui asked the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry to send officials to inspect the land of Gyeonggi, and once there were factors hindering the people's spring ploughing activities, they would quickly solve and investigate the local officials. At the same time, the cabinet also issued an official document, and Daxia put forward a slogan for the first time, that is, "grasp agriculture and ensure harvest"!

This is the primary task of local officials at this stage, and through the supervision of spring plowing activities at the imperial court level, waste, untimely cultivation, disputes and other situations can be avoided. At the same time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate also listed spring ploughing as one of the indicators for the assessment of local officials, and how to use cultivated land, whether new crops are popularized in a large area, whether there are multiple structures of planting, and so on, all need to be carefully studied and arranged by local officials.

The officials all knew what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was arresting, so no one dared to commit a crime against the wind.

After the political affairs were discussed, just when the civil and military officials thought that the early dynasty was coming to an end, Song Yingxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, came out and said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Lingyun Pavilion has been built by the Ministry of Industry!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials were puzzled.

It is not strange to cultivate a two-story Lingyun Pavilion next to the Sanqing Palace, the palace belongs to the emperor, and he wants to build whatever he wants. But it's strange why such a thing was mentioned in the early dynasty.

The early dynasty was the place where His Majesty dealt with national affairs, and he would not talk about small fights, because he would be impeached by the supervision of the imperial history afterwards, and even anger His Majesty. If you can't distinguish the occasion, it means that the ability is not good.

Song Yingxing's ability is not good?

Of course not!

So what is the purpose of this Lingyun Pavilion?

At this time, His Majesty opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Song." ”

After a pause, Emperor Xia glanced at the ministers and asked a topic that many emperors like to ask: "Ladies and gentlemen, you think that I have been on the throne for twenty-seven years, what is the credit?" What are the results? ”

This is the first time that Emperor Xia has asked others about his own merits, which is not quite like His Majesty's temper, His Majesty does not like to be a man who swears a beard and slaps horses.

Just when the officials didn't know how to answer, Li Ming, the first assistant of the cabinet, rushed out of the column and said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, Great Xia can have today's great cause, but it can be proud of the world and sweep all countries, all because Your Majesty is wise and mighty, benevolent and righteous in the world. In Weichen's heart, His Majesty is the first emperor of the ages! ”

The official Shangshu Lu expedition also came out and praised: "Your Majesty is not only wise and martial, but also loves the people like a son, and the government is for the people. Great Xia was able to create such a foundation, doubling its territory, and doubling the population of the people, all of which were due to His Majesty. Your Majesty looks down on the power of the world, who can compare? “

Meng Tianhai, the secretary of the ministry, also came out, he was a scholar of Hanlin University, and the language of praising Emperor Xia was even more in place, and he simply praised His Majesty as a saint.

Sure enough, it is still a scholar who can speak, Xiao Rui listens to it beautifully, and Xia Huang is also happy to smile.

This made the other officials confused.

What's going on today, did you take the wrong medicine?

The cabinet scholars have all boasted, and now they don't praise Your Majesty, so when will they praise it!

So just like the river that bursts the embankment, a large number of officials came out to speak, praising Emperor Xia, and it doesn't matter if you can't think of a better praise rhetoric, come to a sentence: Your Majesty is the first emperor through the ages!

Don't say it now, do you want to be impeached by the imperial history? Say you have offended the Holy One.

When the entire Golden Hall was full of praise, Emperor Xia finally pressed his hand and stopped the sound.

Emperor Xia said solemnly: "Your heartfelt words of praise have made me feel relieved, and at the same time, I also understand that my efforts have not been in vain. But "

A big turning point, frightened the civil and military officials to silence one after another, could it be that it is time to say that they still have to work hard and other words of encouragement?

Emperor Xia continued: "But my achievements are not all because of me, but also because I have a group of officials who are dedicated to the country and the people, honest and fair!" ”

When Xiao Rui heard this, he almost laughed.

Good fellow, Your Majesty has also learned to blow, look at the stunned sluggish appearance of the civil and military officials, obviously frightened by His Majesty's praise.

Some timid officials are already secretly worried, is Your Majesty going to kill someone?

Emperor Xia continued: "It is because of you that Great Xia can have such achievements!" Therefore, I am very grateful to you, especially the best of you, for your outstanding contributions to the immortal cause of Great Xia in the future! This is the role of the Ministry of Industry to build the Lingyun Pavilion! ”

"I will select twenty-four heroes and hang your portraits in the Lingyun Pavilion to commend your achievements, and from now on, you will become a role model in the eyes of the world, and you will be admired by the people of the world, and you will be remembered in history!" As soon as Great Xia exists, the heroes of Lingyun Pavilion will exist for a day! ”

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials were silent.

What did they hear?

Go down in history!

Just these four words, like a magic spell, collided in the minds of all officials, setting off monstrous waves!
