Today, the Great Song Emperor Zhao Gou was very happy, because he received a letter from Qu Ping, saying that he had contacted Li Changzuo, the Marquis of Ningxia, and was raising troops to attack Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Western Xia.

Since learning that Qu Ping is still in the world, Zhao Gou has been extremely happy every day, and he is extremely looking forward to getting news of Qu Ping again. Qu Ping is the most important person who helped him achieve today, he is like a little daughter-in-law with expectations for Qu Ping.

Zhao Gou invited Zhao Ping'er and Xiao Lu into the palace in the name of Wu Guifei for three days, trying to see if he could get news of Qu Ping from them.

Straight lovesickness is useless, and melancholy is madness.

Zhao Ping'er and Xiao Lu were even more thoughtful, and they also had the same thoughts as Zhao Gou, every time they thought that the emperor had new news from Qu Ping, and they entered the palace with joy and passion.

Unfortunately, in the end, everyone returned in vain. Qu Ping actually wrote only one letter to his family and the emperor, and there was no news later.

When he returns, be sure to ask him how he made his heart of stone.

Zhao Gou is very happy today, but he is not only happy because he received a letter from Qu Ping, but another good news - Yang Zaixing, who has crossed to Fusang in the east, is coming back!

I don't know how Yang Zaixing is doing in Japan, whether he has greatly demonstrated the strength of our majestic Great Song Dynasty, whether he has further spread Chinese culture, whether the Sino-Japanese friendship has become closer and more practical, and whether Fusang friends have more respect and yearning for the Great Song Dynasty......

Above the court, the ministers of civil and military affairs learned of the good news and were also discussing the matter.

"General Yang is coming back, everything is so exciting!"

Some people also wrote poems on the spot: "I think that when General Yang's 6,000 cavalry crossed the East China Sea, he hung on the clouds and sailed for nine days, and more than 1,000 scholars came out of the cold door, and now he is not idle." ”

"Lord Wang is so talented!"

"Where, where, improvisation, let everyone laugh."

"My Great Song Dynasty has canceled the age of the vassal country, but all the vassals in the world yearn for it, and they have paid tribute, which is really strange!"

"It shows that my Great Song Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous, this is all the wisdom of the emperor!"

"Yes, yes, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

As everyone talked, they sang the praises of Zhao Goulai.

Zhao Gou felt sweet from his heart, waved his hand modestly, and said, "No matter how tall the tree is, it must have a thick foundation. I don't have the full assistance of all the ministers, how can I have the opportunity to be like today, you and I are happy in this hall? Hahaha! ”

Everyone deserves to be commended.

Li Gang also joined in the ranks of praising the emperor, saying: "Our courtiers are a ship, the emperor is the helmsman, a good ship and a good helmsman are our guarantee to cut through the waves and move forward!" ”

"Haha, Aiqing said it very well." Zhao Gou smiled and said, "The Ministry of Rites listens to the order, and orders the Ministry of Rites to immediately arrange to welcome the warriors who have returned from Fusang!" ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites said briskly: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Zhao Gou said again: "Officials, for the returning bachelors, give priority to the positions, and be sure to do their best!" ”

"Obey the order!"

"Hubu, the families of these soldiers and gentlemen in Dongdu, can the monthly pension be paid on time?"

"Back to the emperor, there has never been any arrears."

"Very good, very relieved!" Zhao Gou was passionate at the moment.

This day should be a day for the whole country to celebrate.

In order to reflect the importance of the emperor and the imperial court, the grandeur of welcoming Yang Zaixing back to the dynasty was comparable to that of Shao Chengzhang when he returned from the ocean.

In the Song Dynasty, Cao Yun was developed, and manpower and material resources were saved, so Yang Zaixing and his party took the means of transportation back to Beijing with the help of Cao Yun.

People on both sides of the strait could not stop cheering, and Huazhou had already arrived at Tiangang.

Yang Zaixing and his fellow soldiers and scholars were full of excitement at the moment, although they imagined the scene of being welcomed by people when they came back many times, but when they saw the real scene in front of them, their hearts were shocked and warm.

Only a small number of the scholars who came back this time are still in Japan. When they come back, it is to publicize and help, so that more aspiring people can travel across the ocean with them next time to spread the culture of Middle-earth.

No matter how much reverence and courtesy you receive in Japan, what kind of hotbed and delicious food you enjoy, but in the end, this is home!

They are the same as themselves, with the same kind faces, beautiful words, and the same ups and downs, and even the same heart.

This is home! That's family!

That scene is really an empty alley, rubbing shoulders, crowds of people, gongs and drums!

People applauded fiercely, jubilated, and enthusiastically shouted, long live the Great Song Dynasty, long live the emperor!

Yang Zaixing couldn't help but have some tears in his eyes, is this what the wanderer feels? Yang Zaixing didn't hear the deputy general Niu Gao talking to him for a while. Niu Gao repeated it, and Yang Zaixing came back to his senses: "Ah, what? 49 e-books

"General, the ship is docked, everyone should be ordered to get off the ship, the emperor is still waiting for us on the shore!" Niu Gao said.

Yang Zaixing reacted at this time, and it was disrespectful to let the emperor wait for a long time, so he hurriedly ordered: "Pass the order, all the boats and people will line up to get off the ship in turn, the soldiers will be given priority, and the gentlemen will follow!" ”

"Yes!"

The ship's armor and the dock set up a sampan, and the soldiers regrouped their fully armed outfits to make themselves look more energetic. Then they either led the horses, or carried the large boxes in three or two people, and disembarked in an orderly manner. The scholars were in high spirits, their hair was oiled, they looked black and beautiful, and they walked lightly, following the army and waving to the welcoming crowds on both sides.

Among the passers-by, an old lady grabbed her son's ear and explained: "Have you seen it, this is what a scholar should look like!" You don't work hard, you haven't been successful until you are forty years old, and in two years, your mother will be angry! You're really going to test your mother! ”

The son didn't dare to resist, so he honestly asked his mother to pull his ears and said, "Mother, I must be in high school this year, and I also applied to Fusang cultural support to win glory for the country and the family!" ”

"That's pretty much it!" The old lady let go of her hand and continued to stand on tiptoe with great interest.

When the son saw that his mother couldn't see the front, he said, "Mother, you can't see it, I'll look at it behind your back!" ”

The old lady did not object either. So this mother and son are now particularly dazzling in front of people.

Slowly, people learned from each other, helped each other, and became peaceful.

A lone branch is not called gorgeous, and a hundred flowers bloom for spring. That's the power of example!

Zhao Gou had already been waiting for him, if it weren't for the rules, he would have to step forward. There is a safe distance of 200 meters between the people and the emperor's team, and there are soldiers guarding them.

Finally waited for Yang Zaixing and his party to come out of the crowd.

Zhao Gou can now clearly watch Yang Zaixing and his party come over.

Yang Zaixing saw that the emperor came to greet him in person, with his armor on his body, he stepped forward quickly, knelt down on one knee and said: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Chen Yang Zaixing and his fellow soldiers and gentlemen did not dishonor the emperor's order, lived up to expectations, and successfully completed the task! ”

Zhao Gou personally helped Yang Zaixing up, and said eagerly: "Aiqing is excellent!" Everything is okay in Japan, are they obedient, are they used to eating and living? You see, they have lost some weight, but their complexions are whiter, haha! ”

"Thank you for the emperor's concern, thank the emperor for his blessings, everything is fine." Yang Zaixing is a serious way.

Zhao Gou patted Yang Zaixing's shoulder, said yes vigorously, and said: "With so many people here, do you have any reports or expectations, do you want to tell the people?" They've been waiting for you for half a year, so you can't just go back to the palace with me, right? ”

Yang Zaixing knew that the emperor wanted him to say something to the people that would benefit the country and the people, but fortunately, he had made a draft along the way, and he was really not afraid of being speechless.

Yang Zaixing turned to the eager people, raised his hand, signaled the people to be restless, and said loudly: "The people, as well as the civil and military officials, thank you for your love to us and other Dongdu soldiers and gentlemen, we have nothing to repay except for protecting the family and defending the country, except for cultural teaching!" ”

The people spontaneously burst into loud applause, which is beyond retribution, this is the greatest reward!

Yang Zaixing continued: "On the orders of the emperor, we crossed to Japan, a subject country, not only to help the Japanese lord unify the whole territory, but most importantly, to do our best to promote our Han culture to the whole of Japan, both civil and military, which is greatly conducive to the friendship and peace between the Great Song Dynasty and Japan." I have a wish that within 20 years, all Japanese people will be able to read, write, and use kanji! This is also the emperor's expectation, and it also needs the support and efforts of the people of the whole country! Do you want to support it? ”

"Yes! In the tank! The people responded enthusiastically.

Zhao Gou clapped his hands behind him and said, "That's a great point!" ”

Yang Zaixing turned around and asked Zhao Gou in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you still need to say anything?" ”

"Alright, it's time for me to speak!" Zhao Gou said,

Yang Zaixing stepped aside with interest, and Zhao Gou climbed up and shouted: "People, do you remember the last time we greeted a group of people so vigorously, and for what?" That's right! What we greet is the hope of all of us, what we welcome is our ambition and ambition, for the prosperity of the country, and for the standing of the nation! Like you, I am a small member of this eagerly awaited crowd, but like you, I also have big dreams, which have allowed us to create hope, let us work tirelessly, and let us enjoy the heavy results! How about I continue to work hard with all of you!? ”

"Good! Good! Good! ”

"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray! ”

The people were boiling, and the atmosphere flew to a climax.

The emperor and the hundred officials went back to the court, the soldiers and gentlemen were also taken away by the relevant departments, and the people still stood there and refused to disperse, and there were too many things waiting for them to digest and absorb today.

Zhao Gou invited Yang Zaixing to ride in a sedan chair with him, Zhao Gou was like a little girl raised in the boudoir, full of curiosity about the outside world, and hated to get a red apricot out of the wall.

Zhao Gou asked: "What does the Japanese lord think of me?" ”

Yang Zaixing replied: "It's like a bright moon in the sky!" ”

"I've learned to play tricks, haha." Zhao Gou asked again, "Six thousand soldiers, is it enough?" ”

Yang Zaixing said: "Back to the emperor, 6,000 soldiers, the minister originally brought back 5,839 of them, 148 were killed in battle, and 13 died of illness. Six thousand soldiers may be a small number in China, but it is equal to a behemoth in Japan! Moreover, these 6,000 warriors were highly skilled and well-equipped, and even their horses were larger than those of Japan, and they were invincible wherever they went. ”

Zhao Gou was pleased and said: "That's also Aiqing's use of soldiers!" ”

"Fusang is not only a small place, but also has a small population, and some people who have less than 1,000 troops dare to call themselves kings.

"Well, don't say that, it's their national condition. With my strength and attacking the weakness of the other, that is bullying, Aiqing can't be compared like this, haha! Zhao Gou said this, but he was already proud in his heart.
