Yangzhou Mansion, built since the Tang Yongchang period, has been more than 200 years, the end of the Tang Dynasty financial depletion, plus the war chaos again and again, the government is unable to repair, now it has been slightly dilapidated, but the afterglow of the Tang Dynasty is still there.

Looking at the quaint mansion in front of him, he shook his head and sighed slightly.

Li Chongjin just has empty ambitions, but he is a snake and a mouse at both ends, and he won't even choose a place to die. Although Li Yun rebelled against the Song court, because he died with the government, it will be recorded in the history books that he died for the country, and in this way, the court will treat his descendants well. In the same way of death, Li Chongjin chose to die with his relatives at home, which became a self-judgment for fear of crime, and it was difficult for future generations to enjoy his shadow, and the infamy through the ages was a foregone conclusion.

Under the guidance of the heralds, Wen Qihang walked into the palace with Pan Mei.

In the palace, there were soldiers guarding with guns everywhere, and in the chaos of war, the safety of the emperor was the top priority, and Wen Qihang could catch a glimpse of the metallic luster that occasionally shone from the darkness under the firelight.

Walking into the hall of the government office, the hall was brightly lit at the moment, Zhao Lao Er sat on the head, and the two sides were already full of guests.

After glancing around, he found that Miao Xun was sitting upright on the left side and bowed his head, and Shi Shouxin next to him glanced over when he heard the sight of Qihang, and glanced at each other for a short time before retracting his gaze.

Except for these two people, the rest of the people didn't know each other.

"Weichen set sail when he heard it, and greeted His Majesty." Wen Qihang bowed to Zhao Lao Er.

"The last general, Pan Mei, meet Your Majesty." Pan Mei also immediately saluted.

Zhao Lao Er saw that the two of them had finished saluting, and his chin bowed and said, "The two Qing families should sit down." ”

After getting Zhao Laoer's signal, Wen Qihang walked to the first place on the left side and sat down, this way of kneeling to participate in the banquet was really uncomfortable.

Wen Qihang straightened his figure, and asked Miao Xun on the side in a low voice: "Mr. Miao, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that Mr. was detained by the traitor Li Chongjin, Wen wants to ask, how did Mr. escape from the cage?" ”

Miao Xun whispered: "Thank you Wenjue for your concern, fortunately, when Wenjue and Li Chongjin were fighting, the traitor was negligent, and Brother Zhai took the opportunity to rescue us and others, and went to Li Tang for refuge, and now Li Tang's envoy came to congratulate our dynasty on defeating the traitor, and Miao returned together." ”

"Oh, I see." Wen Qihang nodded.

was talking to Miao Xun in a whisper, but Zhao Laoer's voice came: "Wen Qing's family, you don't need to inquire about Mr. Miao, I will introduce you to you, the gentleman opposite you is Zhou Zong, the envoy of Li Tang, the official residence of Situ, this time I sent an envoy to our dynasty to congratulate my dynasty on its victory in counterinsurgency." ”

A middle-aged scribe with beautiful sideburns and a long beard on the opposite side bowed his hand and said, "Xiaguan Zhouzong, I've seen Lord Wen." ”

Hearing this person's self-introduction, Wen Qihang was slightly stunned, Zhou Zongqi may not be famous in history, but he can't stand the fact that he raised two good daughters, and he is a beauty comparable to the existence of the second Qiao during the Three Kingdoms period.

Especially the youngest daughter named Zhou Wei, known as Xiao Zhou Hou in history.

These two sisters are not only beautiful, but also versatile and highly talented in literature.

"I have admired the name of Zhou Situ for a long time, and it is an honor to see it today." Wen Qihang smiled at Shi Li.

"Wen Jue is polite, the lower official is the name of Wen Jue who has been admired for a long time." Zhou Zong hurriedly replied: "When I heard the name of Jue, it was really like thunder, covering the world, and the young hero has repeatedly made miraculous achievements. Poetry is unparalleled, Wenjue must not know that the name of Wenjue in my Li Tang has long been a household name. ”

"Zhou Situ praised it, Wen is just lucky." Wen Qihang smiled.

"The two families, today's feast is not only a celebration, but also a family banquet, no need to be polite, drink to win." Zhao Lao Er interrupted the praise between the two, raised the wine and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, drink victory." Everyone raised their glasses.

"Returning to Your Majesty, in order to congratulate Your Majesty on your victory, the Lord of the Kingdom has specially prepared a three-color gift, and entrusted the officials to present it on your behalf, congratulating Your Majesty on this great victory, and wishing our two countries eternal reconciliation." Seeing that Zhao Lao Er was happy to drink, Zhou Zong took the opportunity to say.

The Song Dynasty now has an army of 60,000 troops, and Chen Bing Yangzhou, which is only a water away from Li Tang Jinggi. In case Zhao Laoer's brain convulsions and suddenly attacked, Li Tang would face a huge crisis, in order to find out the truth and truth, Li Jing, the lord of Li Tang, hurriedly sent an envoy, one to find out the movements of the Song court, and the other to eliminate the current war crisis.

Zhao Lao Er said in a light tone: "Guo Zhu Li has a heart, I heard that Guo Zhu Li has been ill recently, so I still have to take care of my body." ”

"Your Majesty is kind, the lower official thanked the lord of the country on behalf of me, and after returning to the court, he will definitely convey it on his behalf." Zhou Zongshi thanked him.

"Zhou Situ is polite, let's have a drink together, and I wish Lord Li a speedy health." Zhao Lao Er smiled slightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Always concerned about whether the body is healthy, this is obviously ill-intentioned, Zhou Zong was drenched in cold sweat.

It's obviously bullying!

This is concerned about the health and well-being of the lord of the country, and it is obvious that he wants to extort money.

This greedy Zhao Lao Er seems to be not very satisfied with the three-color gift, and he thinks that the two big wars will deplete the treasury that has been finally enriched again, and he says that he is not in a hurry, which is false.

No matter how small the fly is, it is also meat, how could Zhao Lao Er let go of this opportunity to gain benefits for nothing.

"I am the lord of the country, I heard that Your Majesty is going to hold a ceremony after sealing in September, and I specially ordered the officials to prepare generous gifts and go to congratulate Your Majesty in time." Zhou Zong added.

Hearing that there were also generous gifts, Zhao Lao Er's expression was obviously a lot happier.

Wen Qihang sighed lightly in his heart, money is not omnipotent, but no money is absolutely impossible, even the emperor who sits on the world, for the sake of money, has to go into battle shirtless and ask for bribes, not to mention us and other small people in the market.

"Wen Qing's family, when you were in Zezhou, the minor tune you sang had a unique style. Such a feast today, Wen Qing's family, can you sing a song again. "No matter who it is, it will be good to receive a heavy gift, even if it is an emperor, Zhao Laoer, who was slightly drunk, looked at Wen Qihang and said.

The last time I heard the minor tune sung by Qihang, Zhao Lao Er liked it very much, and this time I had a reason, and I couldn't help but want to listen to the new work again.

"Wen Jue, poetry is unparalleled in the world, today the official can be fortunate to see in person, I feel very honored, please Wen Jue do not hesitate to teach." Zhou Zong hurriedly complimented.

As a rising star in the camp of the Song Dynasty's military generals, if he can make friends with him, it will be very helpful for the Song Dynasty to withdraw his troops and no longer deter Li Tang and Gyeonggi Nanchang. What's more, as a literati, I want to participate in the grand occasion when the poems are born.

Hearing Zhou Zong's compliment, Zhao Lao Er looked at Wen Qihang with a smile.

Wen Qihang glanced at the ill-intentioned Zhao Laoer, and sighed lightly in his heart.

This damn Zhao Lao Er, I'm afraid that he has no intention of reconciling with Li Tang at this moment, and now the army is armed with gunpowder, a peerless weapon, destroying the city like water rushing sand, and Li Tang's capital Nanchang is only a water away from Yangzhou, as long as he crosses the river, he can destroy the country overnight, under such a merit, how can he let Li Tang go because of a little gift.

"Your Majesty, sing a song, and Weichen will be grateful to Bumin." Hearing this, he hurriedly bowed and excused himself.

I can't sing anymore when I am killed, I sang last time and provoked this group of crazy people in Xianmen, who knows what terrible existence will be provoked by singing another song this time, every time I sing it, I will be unlucky again, even if I am punished by Zhao Lao Er this time, I can't sing anymore.

"Is Wen Qing planning to resist the decree and disobey?" Zhao Lao Er snorted lightly.

"That's it, Your Majesty, the chanting will be dispensed with, in order to cheer up today's banquet, how about Weichen write a poem?" Wen Qihang said helplessly. I'd rather be exposed to having grass all over my stomach and become a liar than to joke with my own life anymore.

"Oh, that's great." Zhao Lao Er said with a smile.

Others don't know the details, how can he not know, about those peerless poems that have been passed down through the ages, Wen Qihang has explained their origins, and now I hear that Wen Qihang actually intends to compose poems with real skills, which must be supported by Zhao Laoer, who likes literature.
