Chapter 65: Promoted Again

Zong Ze looked at Wu Zhi abruptly, but Wu Zhi couldn't stop laughing for a long time, and then slowly stopped laughing, and Ren felt that something was wrong, and asked Zong Ze: "En, Jinlian, they moved away like this?" ”

Zong Ze sighed and said: "There are several generals who have been nagging, and they also jointly wrote to the princess, saying that the government should be lived in by the lower officials, and the lower officials persuaded the princess several times to wait for the prince to come back and then make plans, but it didn't help, and the princess insisted on going back to the capital, and the lower officials couldn't disobey." ”

Wu Zhi frowned: "How many generals? ”

Zong Ze said: "At the beginning, I said that the incident in the army was that these people did not obey General Hu's orders, and how could a woman lead the army, so Cai Xiang wrote a letter asking to stay in Beijing." ”

Wu Zhi nodded: "These people are still in the army?" "Presumably, these generals are Liang Zhongshu's descendants, and they are very deeply hidden, and they have hidden their ears and eyes.

Zong Ze said: "The lower officials have been disposed of or demoted or demoted according to military regulations, and most of them have left the Hebei Military ......."

Wu Zhi said "En", the ins and outs of the matter were already clear, and he looked at Zong Ze and smiled: "So you won't move into the mansion until now?" Are you afraid I care? Lao Zong, we have known each other for a few years, what kind of temper do I have, you should know these subsections, don't care, otherwise, I will be uncomfortable! ”

Zong Ze sighed: "The prince's temper is naturally known to the lower officials, but the lower officials are not here to show their hearts to the prince, they are really a little uncomfortable, the prince is thinking about the Great Song Dynasty outside, but there are people behind his back...... Alas......"

Wu Zhi smiled: "There is no need to talk about this matter, let me tell you what happened to Liao, this time I will return with a full load!" ”

Zong Ze's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "I want to hear it in detail!" ”

Wu Zhi told some important things about Liao at the moment, starting from making Liao meet Yeluchun, and talked about it until the prairie inadvertently got more than a thousand good horses, only to hear Zong Ze's eyebrows flying. picked up the teacup and said: "Your Wang Gong can be said to have made immortal achievements for my Great Song Dynasty, and the officials admire and admire!" Toast the king with tea instead of wine! As he spoke, he drank the tea and said loudly: "On the day when your king returns to Hebei, the officials will be white again!" ”

Wu Zhi looked at Zong Ze's heroic attitude and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Another day, I will drink with Master Zong, but Master Zong said that I am honored to return to Hebei, I don't know what it means?" ”

Zong Ze said with a smile: "Who is there besides the prince who has the important task of the border of Youyun?" ”

Wu Zhi got up with a smile: "Lord Chengzong's auspicious words, King Enben will return to Beijing to resume his life, and he will leave first!" ”

Zong Ze kept sending Wu Zhi to the door, wanting to send him farther away, but Wu Zhi refused politely, Wu Zhi and the guards greeted him and got on the horse and galloped. Until Wu Zhi turned the corner. Zong Zecai turned around with a smile.

Wu Zhi did not leave the Daimyo's Mansion and led the guards through the streets and alleys to a quiet courtyard house. Wu Zhi dismounted and knocked on the door, and the guards scattered around to guard.

The door was opened from the inside, Dong'er was surprised and happy when she saw Wu Zhi, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, Wu Zhi smiled: "Get up!" As he spoke, he strode towards the courtyard, and Dong'er followed closely behind Wu Zhi, shouting: "Madame, Madame, my lord is here!" ”

Just shouted. The curtain of the main room picked up a graceful figure and flashed out. Yan Po looked at Wu Zhi without blinking, and saw that Wu Zhi's face was full of dust. Hurriedly came over and grabbed Wu Zhi's hand and said, "Master, come into the house and serve you to wash up!" ”

Wu Zhi smiled and followed her into the house, looking at Yan Po's slightly thin face, Wu Zhi sighed in his heart, she always seemed so happy and happy in front of her, but was she really so happy?

After entering the house, Yan Po smiled and said, "Do you want to take a bath?" ”

Wu Zhi shook his head and said, "I'm going to leave in a while, and I'm going to come and see you." ”

Yan Po sighed "oh" and began to busily bring hot water and towels to Wu Zhi, serve Wu Zhi by the side, and the soft little hands on Wu Zhi's face touched the itch, which was very comfortable, and Wu Zhi's heart overflowed.

After washing, Yan Poxi picked up the towel again, carefully helped Wu Zhi dry each finger, and moved gently, Wu Zhi smelled the faint fragrance of flowers on her body, and smiled: "Your body is always so fragrant......"

Yan Po smiled charmingly, pulled Wu Zhi to the inner house, Wu Zhi was stunned, "What to do?" ”

Yan Po smiled with a smile: "What is the master afraid of?" When you come in, you're afraid that I'll eat you? With watery eyes full of smiles, Wu Zhi stretched out his hand and twisted it on her face: "Master, I'm really afraid of being eaten by you!" Smiled and Yan Poxi entered the house, Yan Poxi walked to the cabinet by the wall, took out a stack of clothes from it, and said with a smile: "This is the new clothes I made for my master, see if they still fit?" ”

Wu Zhi looked at his dusty robe and smiled, "Eun, take it!" ”

Yan Po Xi was a little apprehensive, but when she heard Wu Zhi's response, she immediately laughed happily, walked over briskly, put the clothes on the bedside, the dark purple robe, the lilac obscene clothes were readily available from the inside to the outside, Wu Zhi walked over and touched the touch, and the feeling was very comfortable, it seems that Yan Po Xi's carefully selected fabrics are handmade, and the craftsmanship of the big tailors in the capital is not bad, and the stitches can be seen in few places.

Wu Zhi smiled: "Well, it looks good, I didn't think you still have such skills." ”

Yan Po smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise!" His eyes rolled and he said, "Master, please wait!" With that, he walked out and walked in with a basin of hot water, and a brand new towel was placed in the basin.

Seeing Wu Zhi looking at himself strangely, Yan Po smiled and said: "The old man has a sweat smell on his body, since he has no time to take a bath, the concubine will help you wipe it!" ”

Wu Zhiqi said: "Sweat smells? How can I not smell it? "Smelling on yourself really doesn't smell.

Yan Po smiled: "How can you smell it yourself?" Saying that, come over and help Wu Zhi Kuanyi, first help Wu Zhi remove the top, wring the towel half-dry, help Wu Zhi wipe it, and then hurriedly take new clothes for Wu Zhi to wear, and then push Wu Zhi to the bed with a smile, sit down, remove shoes for Wu Zhi, and bring hot water to soak his feet.

Halfway through, she went out again to get a basin of new water and a new towel, and then helped Wu Zhi wipe her lower body, when Yan Poxi finally helped Wu Zhi carefully wipe and clean the root of her life, Wu Zhi inevitably reacted, Yan Poxi had just come back from outside, her little hand was a little cold, and Wu Zhidi's heat was held by her cold little hand and moved lightly. I just feel indescribably comfortable. Yan Po gave Wu Zhi a flattering look: "The master is not honest!" ”

Wu Zhi grabbed her supple head: "Hurry up, the master really has something important to do." ”

Yan Po smiled flatteringly, and suddenly her red lips opened slightly, and she gently took Wu Zhi's life root Wu Zhi "Ah", Yan Po Xi chuckled and said, "Didn't the master say hurry up?" ”

"But it can't ...... Roar......" The last cry turned into a moan.

"Master, it's been a boiled down these days, the concubine is serving you well, and you see it become ......," the more vague the words became. From time to time a few ##ε…₯ιͺ¨ηš„轻笑传出......

Wu Zhi walked out of the room comfortably, Yan Po smiled and walked a few steps beside him, Wu Zhi suddenly remembered something: "Ah, look, I forgot about business!" It's all you little goblin! As he spoke, he pinched a handful on Yan Poxi's slippery little face, Yan Poxi smiled charmingly, and followed Wu Zhi with a happy little woman posture.

"Yes. I'm here to tell you you're going to move again in a few days. I don't know where I'm going this time, you stay here first, and when you have a quasi-letter, I'll send someone to pick you up! ”

"Yes. The concubine knows about the princess's return to the capital, and the concubine hears about it! Yan Po said with a smile.

Wu Zhi was stunned: "You know?" Then why didn't you ask me? Aren't you afraid I'll throw you here and ignore you? ”

Yan Po smiled and said: "If the master wants to say it, he will naturally talk to the concubine, so why should he ask?" Even if the master really ignores the concubine, it is the concubine's fault, and the concubine is only to blame for the concubine's poor performance, and he can't keep the master's heart......"

Wu Zhi listened to her laughter, Yin Yin said as if it was a matter of course, and his heart softened. took Yan Poxi's hand and gently hugged her soft body into her arms. I have been reluctantly accepting her. But more or less suspected of using her as a tool to vent her desires, she didn't care, all she thought about was how to make herself happy, and she should really treat her well.

Yan Po was hugged by Wu Zhi in her arms, obviously a little overwhelmed, and only came back to her senses after a while, she carefully stretched out her hands to wrap around Wu Zhi's waist, and gradually hugged Wu Zhi hard, her face was wide against Wu Zhi's chest, and she bloomed with a beautiful smile.

After a while, Wu Zhi said softly: "It's time for me to go!" ”

Yan Poxi nodded, reluctantly let go, hugged Wu Zhi's hands, Wu Zhi kissed her lightly on the cheek, and said with a smile: "I'm leaving, I'll send you a gift from Liao in a few days!" ”

Yan Poxi smiled and nodded, Wu Zhi patted her little face affectionately, turned around and strode out, Yan Poxi sent it to the courtyard gate, looked at Wu Zhi on the horse and left, until Wu Zhi and his party disappeared, tears slowly flowed out of their eyes, Dong'er was taken aback when she saw this: "Madam, what's wrong with you?" Master...... Is the master bullying you again? ”

Yan Poxi smiled and shook her head and said softly, "Dong'er, do you know? Today is my happiest day......" suddenly came back to his senses, wiped away his tears, and glared at Dong'er: "When did the master bully me?" will chew the root of the tongue! As he spoke, he walked lightly into the room, humming a little song in his mouth, apparently very happy.

Dong'er was relieved at this time, but she was reprimanded by her casually, and couldn't help but secretly whiten it, Yan Po took a look at it, muttered in her mouth, and followed into the courtyard.

In December of the third year of Chongning, the envoy of the Liao State arrived in Beijing to send a letter of state, the covenant of Youyun Prefecture, and the news of the return of the Great Song Dynasty was like a wing, and it immediately spread to every corner of the Great Song Dynasty, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there has never been a glory that can inspire the people's hearts more than this, and the land of the Han family that was seized by the Khitan in the five dynasties was taken back to the people of the Great Song Dynasty for the first time.

You must know that Youyun Zhuzhou is not just as simple as a horse-producing land, more importantly, it is the north gate of the Central Plains, it has always been a barrier against the threat of the northern nomads, there is no Youyun Zhuzhou natural danger pass, the Central Plains gateway is wide open, and the alien iron cavalry can enter the hinterland of the Central Plains with a horse and Pingchuan, and coerce the Beijing Division, it is for this reason that the Jin people can tens of thousands of cavalry break through Bianjing, so that the Northern Song Dynasty perished.

And the noble king who claimed back Youyun empty-handed was deified again, this time his image turned into a Zhuge Liang-like strategist, the story of "Tongue Battle" and "Three Wants Youyun" was spread vividly, I really don't know why the story is always more convincing than history.

On December 13 of the third year of Chongning, Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty issued an edict that the Beijing Daimyo Mansion was changed to the Zhongjing Daimyo Mansion and Youzhou set up the Beiping Mansion. For the noble king of Beijing, Wu Zhi repeatedly made miraculous achievements, the sacred heart was very comforted, and the Taishi moved to Beiping Mansion, Yin Commander-in-chief, Hebei Sanlu Affairs, the noble king, the concubine, Pan's gentle and virtuous Shu, and gave a number of jewels. Posthumously awarded Pan's deceased father, Yanggu's founding uncle, the deceased mother, the five-grade wife, Pan Wenyuan (Pan Boss) as the founder of Qingyang, the king's side concubine, Ye's benevolence, mercy and jewelry, and a number of jewels, Ye's father as the founding uncle of Jiangxia, Ye's mother, Wupin's wife, the king's side concubine, Li's virtuous and merciful gifts, and a number of jewels......

In front of the reward Wu Zhi family. Only then did he reward the officials of the envoy Liao and the so-called "meritorious officials" in the court.

This holy decree can be said to have pushed the glory of the Wuzhi clan to the peak. It was one person who attained the Tao and the chicken ascended to heaven, and even Boss Pan followed and became a baron. 300 households. Wu Zhi didn't know the truth of the tree, and he also persuaded Zhao Ji bitterly, but Zhao Ji was really excited, and he didn't listen to Wu Zhi's words at all, but complained, worried that the court couldn't reward him as he wanted, otherwise, he would definitely seal the titles of the parents of several princesses, and Wu Zhi could only sigh.

After the edict, there were five capitals in the Great Song Dynasty. With the Beiping Mansion in Beijing, the strategic significance of the Daimyo Mansion in Beijing has been lost. Since then, the Hebei Forbidden Army has been returned to Beijing because of Beijing's special status. It is a co-governance with the Liao people, and it has just returned to the Great Song Dynasty, and it is inappropriate to apply another official system, it is because after the meeting between Zhongshu Province and the Privy Council, the Youyun Prefectures temporarily use the Tang system, the Beiping Mansion to control the governors, and the Yin candidates are naturally Wu Zhi, no matter how they oppose it in their hearts, no one raised objections at this time, which made Zhao Ji disgusted.

As for Cai Jing, he didn't have a mouth to agree, when the court discussed whether it was too heavy to reward the king, Cai Jing quoted scriptures to suppress the wave of opposition, the so-called commander-in-chief Hebei Sanlu matter is also Cai Jing's proposal, originally Zhao Ji's original intention was to make Wuzhi Commander-in-Chief Youyun Affairs, Cai Jing just proposed Gaoyangguan Road and Dingzhou Road as the backing of Youyun, now the Jin people are rampant, the situation of Youyun is unclear, and the commander-in-chief of the king can ensure the smooth flow of military orders and the handover of the Liao people, so that nothing goes wrong.

Zhao Ji listened to what Cai Jing said, of course, he was gracious. Wu Zhi is now a very popular minister, the prince of the Song Dynasty, and the prime minister of the class, but Wu Zhi is a first-class official, plus the consul of Hebei affairs, the power of the power has already overshadowed Cai Jing.

However, Wu Zhi only smiled bitterly in his heart, Cai Jing pushed himself to the cusp, seeing that he had no choice but to suppress himself, he desperately raised himself, he held heavy troops on the border, and had supreme power, after a long time, Cai Jing and others often blew the wind next to Zhao Ji, lit a fire, and waited for him to be a little careless, and made a mistake by half a step, when Cai Jing naturally used all means to deal with himself, it seems that he also thought of a better effect that could arouse Zhao Ji's suspicion than to suppress himself.

From time to time, hearty laughter could be heard in the imperial study.

Zhao Ji was sitting behind the desk, looking at Wu Zhi who was smiling bitterly opposite, and laughed loudly: "Haha, second brother, don't lie to me, you and I honestly how did you deceive Princess Shaoyang?" I don't believe it, just see a few people, and people will stick to you! I heard the envoy of the Liao State say that the romance between you and Yang is spreading in Kyoto! ”

Wu Zhi shook his head and said, "Brother Fang Cai said the truth, if the imperial brother doesn't believe it, there is no way to ......."

Zhao Ji smiled and said: "I naturally don't believe it, forget it, I won't force you, do you want to talk about this marriage, am I allowed or not?" ”

Wu Zhi said helplessly: "Is the imperial brotherhood not allowed?" ”

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "If the second brother begs, maybe I'll push it for you?" ”

Wu Zhi sighed: "Brother Huang, don't make fun of me!" ”

Zhao Ji laughed and shook his head: "Second brother, second brother, this is a great happy event, Liao Envoy said, Princess Shaoyang is absolutely beautiful, she is a famous beauty in the northern country, others can't ask for it, why do you always sigh, it's too hypocritical, it's not good!" ”

Wu Zhi sighed again and stopped talking.

"Well, in a few days, you're going to leave for Youzhou, it's Beijing, haha, you can't change your mouth!" Zhao Ji burst into laughter at the mention of Beijing.

Wu Zhi said: "Before the Hebei Forbidden Army was stationed, Beijing was not yet in hand. ”

Zhao Ji nodded: "Yes, you say that the land is reasonable, I am afraid that the Jurchens will interfere with it, but I don't believe that the barbarian clan dares to start a war with the Liao and Song Dynasty at the same time!" Haha, unless they don't have brains, but speaking of which, these barbarians don't have any brains...... Haha......" Zhao Ji was obviously overexcited, not only talking more than usual, but also laughing constantly.

Looking at Zhao Ji's smile, Wu Zhi's heart was heavy. Now the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty regard Youyun as something in their pockets, if something really goes wrong when they hand over Youyun to the Liao people, it is conceivable that they will immediately experience the taste of going from heaven to hell.

"Beiping Mansion Beiping Mansion Beiping North Haha. Second brother, it's good to get your name! Zhao Ji smiled and said to Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi smiled, this is the name of Youzhou in later generations, but he used it earlier

"Dada" The door of the study rang softly, and the eunuch's words came: "Long live the concubine Niangniang has arrived!" ”

Zhao Ji smiled: "Oh, come in!" I've been waiting for her for a while! ”

Wu Zhi listened to Zhao Ji and the eunuch's answer, and smiled in his heart. The imperial city of Bianjing is also small enough. Let's just say that this imperial study, the vast and magnificent imperial study of the Forbidden City in later generations is more than twice as large, and this is why there are eunuchs shouting outside, and the emperor is answering inside. Speaking of which, the Song Dynasty is really much better than I imagined. I heard that there was also the idea of expanding the imperial city, and the residents of Bianliang around the imperial city did not agree, and in the end, the imperial power would not be gone? Much better than some of the public servants of later generations.

"Second brother? What do you think? Zhao Ji stretched out his hand and shook in front of Wu Zhi, Wu Zhi woke up, but saw that Zhao Ji didn't know when he was standing next to him, Zhao Ji was standing beside him, and a beautiful woman was born next to him, it was Wang Guifei, who made Wu Zhi cry and laugh. Wang Guifei showed a small head in her arms, and her eyes were very smart. Stared at himself for a while, struggling to stretch out his hands. The milk voice in his mouth: "The second uncle hugging ......" is Zhao Ji's beloved daughter Xuan.

Wu Zhi hurriedly stood up and saluted Wang Guifei: "Hello imperial sister-in-law! ”

Wang Guifei couldn't help but smile when she heard Wu Zhi's title, and said slightly: "Your king is a thousand years old......"

Zhao Ji laughed and said: "Okay, okay, it's all a family, don't be polite, concubine, you give the second brother a hug, you just sit there, I'm talking about business with the second brother!" ”

Wang Guifei carefully put her on the ground, and the little guy immediately walked towards Wu Zhi crookedly, Wu Zhi was afraid that she would fall, so he hurriedly walked up a few steps and picked her up, and the little thing retracted into Wu Zhi's arms, squeaking, I don't know what to say.

Zhao Ji smiled and said: "I am always chattering about the second uncle these days, I don't know why she fell in love with you?" ”

Wu Zhi smiled and smiled, and the little guy was milky and comfortable.

"Lord Wang......" Wang Guifei was interrupted by Zhao Ji waving her hand as soon as she spoke.

"Alas, you will call the second brother in the future, the second brother, you can call her the imperial sister-in-law, but your imperial sister-in-law is too much!" Zhao Ji said and smiled.

When Wang Guifei heard Zhao Jizhun call himself the second brother of Wu Zhi, she immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Sheng...... Two...... Second brother, forgive me for being abrupt, I always talk about my second uncle at noon these days, so I told the official family a few times, and I waited for you to bring you to take a look...... Don't blame me! ”

Wu Zhi knew that the person in front of him was the most favored concubine in Zhao Ji's palace, and he had some old grudges with him, and it was estimated that he had said bad things about himself in front of Zhao Ji before, but at the beginning, he said "imperial sister-in-law", which seemed to make her change her attitude, although she didn't know what she thought in her heart, but it was naturally better to ease the relationship.

"Where is the imperial sister-in-law? I also like it, I like it very much, and when I grow up, I will be as beautiful and charming as the imperial sister-in-law! Wu Zhi said with a smile.

Wang Guifei smiled, froze her eyes and looked at Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji shook her head helplessly, and smiled bitterly: "Second brother has always been so open-mouthed......

Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment before he realized that it was inappropriate for him to praise Wang Guifei, Mo said that it was the imperial concubine opposite, even if it was an ordinary lady, her own words seemed frivolous.

Wu Zhi hurriedly stood up and apologized, Zhao Ji smiled and said: "Forget it, speaking of which, I still like the second brother's temperament, if you follow the rules like others and fight with me in an official article, wouldn't it be boring?" ”

Wang Guifei also smiled and said that it was okay for Wu Zhi to sit down in his arms, and it seemed that he was always moving around there and humming a few words, of course, Wu Zhi didn't understand.

"The second brother will leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?" Zhao Ji asked.

"The younger brother is ready to leave tomorrow, so as to arrange it early, so as not to make trouble."

Seeing that the two were talking about business, Wang Guifei hurriedly got up and said goodbye, Zhao Ji saw that the little guy in Wu Zhi's arms was very stable, so he didn't stay, after all, it was best for the concubine to avoid talking about state affairs.

After Wang Guifei left, Wu Zhi and Zhao Ji talked for more than half an hour, and when they left, the little guy slept very soundly in his arms, and Zhao Ji smiled: "Second brother, I'm really a little jealous of you, your niece has never been so honest in my arms!" With an indignant look, he took it and took it affectionately in his arms.

Wu Zhi said with a smile: "When the younger brother has children, I am afraid that he will be intimate with the royal brother, and I will forget the father of the younger brother, and the child always likes to play with the living!" ”

Zhao Jiqi said: "Really? I haven't heard of that. Then he said: "Speaking of which, you have been married for a while?" Why don't you have children? ”

Wu Zhi said: "This ...... This brother doesn't know......"

Zhao Ji smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "You have to work hard!" ”

Wu Zhi glared and said goodbye with a wry smile.
