Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Autumn is crisp, and from the weather, today is undoubtedly a good day, but for Richie, it doesn't seem to be very good.

Outside the Vermilion Bird Gate, Song Huizong wears a golden crown, wears a dragon robe, sits on a dragon chariot, and is driven by six horses in front, and the body is inlaid with gold, silver and jade, gems and pearls; The body is also engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns, showing the royal noble and luxurious style.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty stood behind the dragon chariot, respectfully, and the honor guard of 500 people was in two plates, surrounded by heavy guards, and the snow bright spear head could be seen everywhere.

"Ahh Why haven't you come yet? ”

Li Qi stood at the end, his hands on his chest, leaning against the wall, yawning, and looking listless.

Suddenly, someone on the side said: "Hey, you kid pay attention, you are now also a member of the third grade, what kind of system is this way to become." ”

Li Qi turned his head and saw that it was Zhao Kai, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is too much to look down on, so many people, who will pay attention to me as a cook." By the way, Your Highness, why are you standing behind here? It's too inappropriate for you to be a prince. ”

Zhao Kai also leaned his back against the wall and said, "Why are you hiding here again?" ”

Li Qi rolled his eyes and said: "Am I hiding, I am obviously giving a seat to so-and-so, so that they can show their faces, I am doing a good deed." ”

Zhao Kai smiled: "The hero sees the same thing. After a pause, he sighed lightly and said, "But this battle has been fought in a girl's life, and I really don't know what to celebrate." ”

Li Qi said curiously: "On this point, I'm also very curious, it stands to reason that we lost the two attacks on Liao, it makes no sense that the emperor doesn't know, why does the emperor still value Captain Tong so much?" ”

Zhao Kai sneered and said: "You can't help but underestimate Captain Tong, he has already put all the blame on Chonggong and General Liu Yanqing, plus many people in the court have spoken well for him, and his father believes him." ”

This should not have been said, but the last time the two of them went to Jin Guo, they already knew about it, and they had talked about it many times, so there was no need to scruple.

Li Qi sighed and said, "As a prince, why don't you report it?" ”

"As a courtier, why don't you report it!"

Li Qi said angrily: "Then someone has to believe it." ”

"You know and say."

With that, the two sighed at the same time.

Zhao Kai suddenly asked, "By the way, how is your Wuxiang doing?" I heard you started cooking last night? ”

"Last night? You're really afraid to say it, it started seven days ago. ”

Zhao Kai was surprised: "Seven days ago? ”

"There are a total of eighty-one kinds of materials, large and small, if it weren't for the fact that there were enough chefs in the imperial dining room, I am afraid it would have to be advanced to half a month. However, the first four days were spent working on the ingredients, and the cooking only started three days ago. ”

"Eighty-one materials?" Zhao Kai was dizzy for a while, and said with an incredible smile: "No wonder you have to do it for three days for so long." You don't have to look? ”

Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Please, you also said that you would do it for three days and three nights, if you wanted me to watch it all the time, then I would have died of exhaustion." But I'll have to go back to the dining room later. ”

Zhao Kai frowned and said, "You don't go back to the main hall?" ”

"What are you going back for? Watch them get their rewards! ”

"Actually, to put it mildly, your credit is greater than theirs, but you are too young, you have only been an official for more than a year, and you are also a military attachΓ©, and the third-grade officer is already the extreme."

"I know this, and I'm content." Li Qi suddenly asked: "Then do you know what official positions the emperor will entitle Captain Tong and Cai Xuanfu?" ”

Zhao Kai said with a smile: "If you don't ask about this, I want to tell you, I heard the rumors yesterday, will your Dao father and emperor crown Cai Xuanfu as an official?" ”

Li Qi frowned and said, "Does it have anything to do with me?" ”

Zhao Kai nodded and said: "It's a little related, my father is going to crown him as a privy envoy." ”

Li Qi was shocked and said, "Privy envoy? What about Captain Tong? ”

Zhao Kai said: "Either rank in the third division or be crowned king." ”

"Crowned king?" Richie was surprised, "Butβ€”but he's not a complete man." ”

Zhao Kai couldn't help but smile and said, "You kid really dare to say anything, if you let Tong Taiwei hear it, you have to fight with you." ”

Eunuch king? This Nima was able to appear in the Song Dynasty, a strange dynasty. Li Qi said: "Just kidding, don't take it seriously." But will Cai Xuanfu's envoy fight, and is it appropriate for him to lead the Privy Council? ”

Zhao Kai glared at him angrily, and said: "Are you really confused, or are you pretending to be confused, since the founding of the country, it is generally the civilian officials who lead the Privy Council, who will fight?" ”

Li Qi nodded, "That's true." I thought to myself, it seems that the future will be sad.

Zhao Kai said again: "But this Cai You may not even be able to talk about civil officials." ”

"How is it possible, he is the son of the Taishi, the Taishi doesn't say anything else, in terms of literary talent, it is still second to none in the Great Song Dynasty, the tiger father has no dogs, he shouldn't be too bad." Li Qi was puzzled.

Zhao Kai said with a smile: "It seems that you don't know much about the Cai family, when Cai Taishi was the prime minister, this Cai You once served as a Qing treasure official, and there were more than 100 Taoist bureaucrats who set books and revised the classics at that time, most of them were talented and knowledgeable people from the History Museum, the Fuwen Museum, and the Jixian Academy. ”

Li Qi frowned and said, "Then how is this Cai You?" ”

Zhao Kai glanced at him slightly, and said, "I can only say, you must not mess with him, especially now, otherwise you will be annoyed." ”

At this moment, the horn suddenly sounded.

"It's coming, it's coming."

And he heard a shout from the crowd.

Li Qi and Zhao Kai hurriedly raised their eyes and saw the thick dust billowing in the distance, and a large group of people and horses were rushing towards this side, followed by the deafening sound of horses' hooves.

The first one, riding a white horse, wearing purple and gold armor, and a sword studded with gems hanging from his waist, was heroic. No matter which way you look at it, it doesn't look like a eunuch.

Going hand in hand with Tong Guan was the first middle-aged man in his forties, riding a jujube red horse, wearing a gray robe, with a slender figure, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Cai Jing.

You don't need to ask to know that this person must be Cai You, who is known as Uncle Cai.

Depend on! Cai You walked with Tong Guan, he looked like a eunuch. Tong Guan's cunzΓ i also completely subverted the impression of eunuchs in Li Qi's mind.

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty."

Two earth-shattering, weeping ghosts and gods shouted one after another, and they seemed to be about to move the heavens to tears.

I saw Tong Guan and Cai You come to Song Huizong when they were still three hundred steps away, and at the same time jumped off their horses, staggered a few steps forward, and seemed to be rolling and climbing, the two of them opened their hands and ran towards Song Huizong enthusiastically, just like Bolt's 100-meter sprint, you catch up with me.

Song Huizong was also excited, quickly walked down from the dragon chariot, and shouted in his mouth: "Aiqing, Aiqing." ”

"Your Majesty."

Wow! Is it necessary to exaggerate it? Li Qi's eyes widened, and he felt full of emotion and goosebumps.

In a blink of an eye, Tong and Cai ran in front of Song Huizong, plopped, plopped, and both knelt down at the same time, Cai You's eyes were filled with tears, and said: "The emperor - the emperorβ€”β€”, Weichen is really afraid that he will never see the emperor again." ”

Tong Guan was so excited that he said: "Weichen is ashamed of the emperor, let the emperor worry, Weichen deserves to die." ”

"Two Aiqing, hurry up, hurry up."

Song Huizong burst into tears, helped Tong and Cai, held their hands with both hands, and choked up: "The two Aiqing recovered the rivers and mountains for me, and this piece of loyalty can show the sun and the moon, and I will remember it." ”

Li Qi couldn't stand it anymore, and suddenly remembered the last clip in the Journey to the West, the scene between Wu Mengda and Mo Wenwei, what "Oh, Xianggong", "Oh, lady", and immediately shuddered, and said: "Your Highness, why do I want to laugh when I see such a warm and touching picture - hey, Your Highness, you have to hold back, you have to laugh and wait for me to leave before laughing, I'll go back first." ”

He saw that Zhao Kai was more exaggerated than him, the corners of his mouth twitched vigorously, how hard he endured, this Wanyi laughed out loud, and if he was seen, it would be terrible, so he quickly turned his back and flashed people.

He didn't dare to enter through the south gate, because the royal street had already been sealed, so he had to turn to the east gate.

However, the picture of the situation did not end with the departure of Richie. Firecrackers rang out, gongs and drums were noisy, Song Huizong praised the three armies, and then led Huang Huang and Qingcang on the left and right, oh no, he should hold Tong Guan with his left hand and Cai Yu with his right hand, and the three of them entered the Vermilion Bird Gate side by side, and even the prince and the prince had to follow behind, and went all the way to Ouchi along the royal street.

What an honor it is to be able to walk side by side with the emperor.

Tong Guan and Cai You can be regarded as out of the limelight, majestic and majestic. The ordinary people watching from a distance did not know the battle ahead, and thought that these two traitors really returned triumphantly, sprinkling flower petals, setting off fireworks, and shouting long live, what a magnificent scene.

Coming to the main hall, Song Huizong held the dragon chair, and Wang Hao led the hundred ministers to congratulate and celebrate that the Chaoyang flag finally fluttered in the sky over Yanjing.

Song Huizong Dayue, immediately took off the jade belt and put it on for Wang Hao with his own hands, which made Wang Hao so excited that he almost didn't faint, he really didn't know how long he waited for this moment, and how long he endured it, for this reason, he tolerated Li Qi everywhere and suffered a lot of losses, however, from today on, he really didn't have to endure it anymore.

The next is naturally the time to reward meritorious deeds, Zhao Kai's gossip is really not wrong, Wang Hao because he strongly recommended Lian Jin to attack Liao, made suggestions, and also set up three provinces to set up economic care houses, specifically responsible for border warfare, and in just one month to make up enough military salaries, it is the first merit. promoted to Taifu, sealed the Duke of Chu, and allowed him to wear purple robes; His chariots, horses, attendants, and other ceremonial guards were the same as those of the prince.

Wang Hao was originally in power, but now he is even more invincible.

Tong Guan led the army to "recover" Yanjing and other places, sealed the king of Guangyang County, and rewarded him with countless lands, maids, gold, silver and jade silks. But Tong Guan made an unexpected and reasonable decision, that is, to refuse to accept this rich reward, but to give all the rewards given to him by Song Huizong as a pension to the soldiers who went with him, so that the emperor valued him more, and the soldiers below did not scare him for him.

This trick is really beautiful! I don't need money, it's just a pile of scrap copper and scrap metal, but I have to use it on the blade.

And Cai You is not bad, he was named the British Duke, promoted to Taifu, inherited Tong Guan's position, and was crowned a privy envoy, and he was also a very popular minister.

Because Tong Guan has his own pro-army and a whole warlord, the position of the privy envoy is not so important to him, and he also knows that if there is a war, Song Huizong will be the first to think of him.

Then, the soldiers who accompanied him received some rewards. Even Li Qi, who was not present, won the title of a champion general, Zheng Sanpin, the military attache was dismissed, and there was no use for fart.

The whole court is jubilant. (To be continued.)
