Chapter 122: Return to the capital

Qu Ping looked at Xiao Lu who came slowly and his daughter who hadn't seen him for a long time, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, if it weren't for this occasion, everyone would definitely run over and hug each other. Qu Pingqiang kept himself calm, but there was irrepressible excitement in his eyes.

Xiao Lu pulled Qu Yihan, Zhao Ping'er quietly took two steps back, the eyes of the two daughters were inexhaustible affection, Qu Yihan looked at her mother and aunt left and right, feeling that they were weird today, but she couldn't understand it.

Xiao Lu calmed down, hugged her daughter, and said gently, "Han'er, call Daddy." ”

Qu Yihan frowned and looked at Qu Ping in resistance.

Qu Ping didn't care, he picked it up, kissed her pink face, her beard hurt her little feet, and she cried out in fright.

Qu Ping smiled: "Daddy will go back and educate you again!" ”

He looked at Xiao Lu and Zhao Ping'er behind her affectionately, and said, "Hard work!" ”

Tears unconsciously overflowed Xiao Lu's eyes, and at this moment, it was so hard to wait. It is said that Xiao Bei is better than a new love, but this is torture!

Qu Ping helped her wipe away her tears in front of everyone, and said softly: "Don't cry, come back, everything is fine, and you will return to Xiao." ”

Zhao Ping'er thought to herself, won't it be all over to Zhao?

Xiao Lu nodded, took Qu Yihan's hug, walked to the back, and returned the world's attention to the men.

Zhao Ping'er glanced at Ah Yue, who was happily looking around on the side, like a girl who had entered the city for the first time.

Zhao Ping'er whispered: "It's not a small guts, it's another kidnapping!" ”

Qu Ping was embarrassed for a while, and quickly explained: "You misunderstood......"

Zhao Ping'er snorted, didn't listen to his explanation at all, turned around and chased after Xiao Lu quickly.

Zhao Gou looked at the small excitement of Qu Ping's family and snickered. When Qu Ping came over, Zhao Gou pointed at Miss Ah Yue with his eyes, and smiled ill-willedly: "Tell me in a whisper, where did you marry the third room?" I promise to keep it a secret for you! ”

Qu Ping said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, you are wronged! The minister is about to introduce to you that this woman is the daughter of the patriarch of the Ah Yue tribe who borrowed a boat to help our army reach Thang Long, Ah Yue. She came to the capital with me this time, just to see the grand occasion of my Celestial Empire. ”

Zhao Gou nodded: "I see, it's really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows!" I look at this woman with a heroic posture, which is not a good match for ordinary people. ”

Qu Ping immediately said: "What the emperor said is extremely true, there is only one person in the world who can match her, and there is only one single person!" "Qu Ping doesn't want Zhao Gou to open Chrysostom.

"Oh, who?" Zhao asked.

"Yang Zaixing! Yang Zaixing, who is still in Fusang! Qu Ping replied.

Zhao Gou nodded: "Yes, it's a pity that he is still in Fusang." I'll talk about this later, if Miss Ayue can wait for Yang Zaixing, I will definitely personally make a decree to marry. ”

Qu Ping said: "The two ministers thanked the emperor. ”

Zhao Gou ascended to the heights and shouted to the ministers and the people: "The whole world is so big, it is not Shenzhou!" All civilizations in the world are out of China! The people of the four provinces, those who dare to offend our China, although far away, will be punished!! ”

The subjects shouted in unison, and their anger burst into flames, resounding through the sky.

After the excitement, life still has to go on step by step. Zhao Gou returned to the palace, the subjects went back to their respective homes, Ah Yue temporarily stayed at Li Cailian's house, and Li Yanghuan let Honglu Temple receive him.

When Qu Ping returned home, he was indispensable for a warm reunion with his family.

However, Zhao Ping'er did not appear in the house at this time.

Xiao Lu already knew that the ice was broken between Qu Ping and Zhao Ping'er, and said: "At this time, how can she be a good outsider in your mansion with a thick face." ”

The implication is that outsiders should be turned into insiders.

Qu Ping hadn't thought about how to open his mouth about this matter, and said, "Let's talk about this matter slowly." ”

Xiao Lu said again: "Sister Cailian will take Miss Ah Yue to live, so it's okay to save gossip." Sister Cailian is convenient, and you can also take Miss Ah Yue to play around. ”

"Let her go, maybe after a while, she will go back to Yunnan when she gets tired of playing." Qu Ping said.

After the next day, there was a steady stream of people who came to visit, eating, drinking, and chatting about expressions.

After resting for two days, Zhao Gou summoned Qu Ping and listened to Qu Ping's report on the experience along the way.

Zhao Gou said: "Gao Liangcheng has already subdued the law, although the means are special, but it happened suddenly, and that's it." Zhao Xiaolan's matter, firstly, it was helpless, and secondly, they also had feelings for each other, and I had already made Chao Xiaolan the county lord and registered it, which can be regarded as self-justification. ”

Qu Ping said: "This is also the blessing of Chao Xiaolan. ”

Zhao Gou said again: "Duan Zhengyan, this old guy, slaughtered on a large scale, which is indeed against the way of heaven. Now that he has admitted his mistake and abdicated, I will not pursue it, and the king of Yunnan should still let them sit on their own. Duan Zhengxing is a material that can be made, and he is a person who can be relied on in the southwest, and he has ordered people to make it, and he can also be the king of Yunnan with peace of mind, I hope he will not be vain. ”

"The emperor's holy grace favors, how dare the Duan family not care." Qu Ping said. 120

Qu Ping also suggested that the capital of Yunnan be moved from Dali to Shanxi, because Shanxi's geographical location is closer to the southwestern countries, which can have a certain political and military deterrent effect. The king of Yunnan will not be willing to be comfortable, and will definitely be vigilant.

Since the king of Yunnan and the king of Yunnan have no opinions on themselves, Zhao Gou is naturally happy to see it, and he also praised Qu Ping for doing a beautiful job and being very far-sighted.

Zhao Gou remembered that Li Yanghuan was still in the cold in Honglu Temple, and said: "Aiqing attacked Shenglong by surprise, and he worked beautifully. First, it calmed down Jiaozhi, and second, it also solved Zhao Li's urgent need. ”

Qu Ping said: "The minister is just borrowing the right time and place, if it is not for the prestige of the Song Dynasty court and the emperor, the minister is probably like a grasshopper shaking a tree." ”

Zhao Gou was praised again, and said with a smile: "Anyway, I am getting more and more able to slip around and shoot horses, which will encourage my crooked tendencies!" Haha, I still have to say more fair and just words, I am not an emperor who loves to listen to good words. ”

Having said that, as the old saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and it is better to sail carefully for a 10,000-year-old ship.

Zhao Gou Zhengse said: "However, you will divide Jiaozhi into east and west according to the Yuanjiang River, and each will be under the management of Guangnan West Road and Yunnan Road, I feel that it is slightly inappropriate!" ”

Qu Pingxin said, he was still impulsive at that time, how can he decide this kind of decision by himself, this is the emperor's business! Qu Ping said: "The minister is confused for a while, he shouldn't decide ...... on his own."

Zhao Gou interrupted: "I don't blame you, I said a long time ago that Aiqing is in power when she is outside. I believe that such a one-size-fits-all approach will cause fear and resistance to the people of Jiaozhi, which is not conducive to peace and stability. I have been thinking about it these days, and the land south of Thang Long will still be under the autonomous jurisdiction of Li Yanghuan, and the north will still be under your previous plan. What does Aiqing think? ”

The emperor has really grown up, and he also thinks that the problem is more abyss.

Qu Ping felt very relieved and said: "The emperor is a blessing in the world. The emperor is no longer what it used to be, he has traveled thousands of miles every day, and the Great Song Dynasty has been worry-free for a hundred years! ”

Zhao Gou said: "I have also discussed this matter with An Guogong, and he also agrees with my decision. In this case, tomorrow in the court, I will meet Li Yanghuan and give him a reassurance as soon as possible. ”

The next day, Qu Ping stood in the long-lost court, and suddenly had a feeling of seeing the mountains at a glance, and reminded himself to keep a low profile and calm.

Before the emperor arrived, Li Gang turned to Qu Ping and said, "Yongguo Gong, change the Japanese minister to make a special trip to your mansion to pay tribute." Yongguo Gong won glory for the country this time, raised my majesty, and will definitely go down in history. You have a bright future and full of stamina! ”

In time, Qu Ping surpasses himself, that is certain, sooner or later.

Qu Ping said: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister has won the award, isn't it the duty of our courtiers to share the worries of the country and the people?" You are a senior, a pillar and guide of the imperial court, Qu Mou has been in a hurry these days, and the younger generation should go to visit you. ”

The two of them made peace with each other, attracting praise from hundreds of officials behind them, and the future of the Great Song Dynasty was bright!

After the singing class in front of the palace, Emperor Zhao Gou ascended the dragon throne, his demeanor was full, his spirit was lofty, and he had the potential to look at the world.

Now that the Great Song Dynasty has regained Longyou and Uighurs in the west, and the southwest has been incorporated into Yunnan and surrendered to Jiaozhi, Japan in the east has been under the protection of Longwei, and only the north has yet to be swept away.

"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!"

Honglu Temple Qing played: "Enlighten the emperor, Jiaozhi Li Yanghuan has been in Beijing for many days, and he will keep to himself all day long, and wait for the emperor to receive him. ”

Zhao Gou said: "Let him feel the strength of my Great Song Dynasty more!" Announce him to him today. ”

"He's waiting outside." Honglu Siqing replied.

The official in front of the palace shouted: "Xuan Li Yanghuan is here!" ”

Li Yanghuan was alone accompanied by an interpreter from Honglu Temple, bowed into the hall, looked at Zhao Gou who was sitting upright, didn't dare to face it, bowed and saluted: "Little King Li Yanghuan, meet the emperor of the Celestial Empire, long live the emperor, long live long live!" ”

Zhao Gou said: "Flat, sit!" ”

After Li Yanghuan sat down, Zhao Gou continued, "Jiaozhi has always been a vassal of our Central Plains, although there are many frictions, but it is just a small fight. But husband and wife don't have an overnight feud, and in general, you and I should still be in the same breath, do you say? ”

After listening to the translation, Li Yanghuan lowered his eyebrows and was silent, not knowing what the emperor meant. But the emperor opened his mouth to ask, and now he is sending someone under the fence, and his life is difficult to protect at any time, how dare he not answer.

Li Yanghuan hesitated and said: "The emperor is reasonable, the world is a family, and the teeth are still biting the tongue, everything is a misunderstanding." ”

Zhao Gou said: "That's right, the world is a family. However, there are still big and small, respected and humble in a family. Although Jiaozhi has been out of the control of the Central Plains for many years, he does not know the source of drinking water, does not know the height of the sky, and commits the strong with the weak, and commits the following crimes. This time, in order to protect my own face, my Great Song Dynasty attacked Shenglong from afar, just to let the world know that the order of the elders and children in the family! ”

Li Yanghuan was so frightened that he trembled, and said: "I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and the people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants. After Li went back, he must strictly control the jurisdiction and not cause chaos to the emperor. ”

Both sides understand that the emperor is far away, and the whip of the Central Plains is beyond the reach, and it is impossible to always cover the sky with one hand. In the end, the territory of Jiaozhi still depends on the people of Jiaozhi to manage it smoothly.

Zhao Gou said: "If you are sincere and obedient, you will naturally still be a family." ”

"The emperor of the Celestial Empire is above, I am willing to lead all the handovers to return to obedience sincerely, voluntarily call the ministers, pay tribute every year, pray for the emperor every month, and dare not be rude." Li Yanghuan bowed and said.

"That's great, haha!" Zhao Gou smiled and said, "I have given you the title of Marquis of Jiaozhi, and you can call yourself the King of Jiaozhi internally." The realm south of Thang Long is still under your jurisdiction, what do you think of my suggestion? ”

How dare Li Yanghuan say that Zhao Gou's suggestion is not good, it would be good to get the land south of Shenglong, there are still a large area of territory in the south that has not been conquered, and it is a big deal to develop in the south.

He hurriedly thanked him: "The minister bows to thank the holy grace, and the minister will sacrifice his life to repay the emperor's kindness!" ”

Zhao Gou was overjoyed and said: "Okay, it's decided, I will give you the book immediately, and you will go back and do a good job in the handover of the northern land of Shenglong as soon as possible, and Hugh will have another dispute, otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable!" ”
