Chapter 126: Who is the Great Hero?
Li Mengyao's send-off caught Zhao Yunrang a little off guard.
Originally, these two countries were at war, and they were each other's mortal enemies.
However, in this way, the two people walked and walked on the border affectionately.
A few days ago, the two of them were still fighting to the death on the battlefield.
Now that a period of peace has suddenly begun, how can we speak at this time?
However, Zhao Yunrang had a hunch that Li Mengyao would never suddenly kill him.
Besides, if you really want to kill yourself, you may not be able to win the battle, and you will die together, there is no problem at all.
"Little prince, do you think you are a hero?"
Li Mengyao suddenly threw out a question.
"Heroes? Not really! β
Cho Yunrang never considered himself a hero.
As long as it can be said to be a hero, it must be the fierce and tragic kind.
At the very least, it has to be the type of person who runs out of ammunition on the battlefield, is alone, and shouts "shoot at me" with blood-red eyes.
Get a bunch of grenades, blow up the enemy on their backs, and finally force them to sign the alliance under the city.
Zhao Yunrang felt that he was not even a hero, at most he was a traitor!
In fact, he is not a traitor, but if he wants to say that he is an ordinary person in front of his defeated generals, Zhao Yunrang feels that he is a little hypocritical.
"I think you're a hero!"
Zhao Yunrang was a little excited, this is the first time, there is a girl who says she is a hero!
Moreover, this girl is still a female general, and she also has weight in the Western Xia Kingdom.
It is estimated that in the eyes of those iron harriers, the status of this female general is similar to that of Mulan.
"Why do you see I'm a hero?"
Zhao Yunrang suddenly felt a little hot face, this is like saying that others say that you are a person with merits, and then you say "please talk about it specifically", which is a bit shameless!
Li Mengyao smiled: "Let's be specific-okay, your poetry is amazing, and you can stabilize the country, such a person who is both civil and military, is not a hero?" β
"I think your statement is a bit biased, if you say that you are both civil and military, you are heroes, then those who are wonderful in literature, or who have martial arts and stabilize the country are not heroes?"
"That's the little hero, you're the big hero!"
"My thoughts are different from yours, the definition of a hero shouldn't be so simple. At the very least, if you can have a firm heart and will, and be able to do what you want to do, whether you succeed or not, you are a hero! β
"Tens of millions of people, I will go - this is a hero. Ten years of life and death, without thinking, unforgettable - this is also a hero, no one in the world is not a hero, but you are a hero for a moment, or a hero for a lifetime! β
Li Mengyao's eyes were shining: "Xiao Wang is really high-minded, Mengyao admires it - he said to Xiao Wangye, 'How can I see that I am a hero', that is a big hero!" β
Zhao Yunrang: "......"
Is this a sarcasm for being thick-skinned?
Seeing that it had been more than ten miles since he came out, the little six sons next to him coughed vigorously.
This can't be done, you can't send it to Bianliang City, right?
"Send you a thousand miles, and you must say goodbye in the end-"
Cho Yoon-rang began his opening remarks.
"Laterβwill we see each other again?"
"Let's meet by fate!"
Zhao Yunrang threw down this sentence, and Li Mengyao's eyes flashed: "That's good, then look forward to fate." β
Zhao Yun rang Yang spurred the horse, and the smoke and dust went all the way.
Li Mengyao was watching from afar.
Xiao Liuzi was finally able to step forward: "Young master, I see, this county lord of Western Xia seems to be a little interesting to you." β
Zhao Yunrang glanced at him: "You have found it all, can I not find it?" β
"Then marry me, with your status as young master, plus this victory, it's not too much to marry a county lord, right?"
Zhao Yunrang rolled his eyes: "You think I'm dying slowly!" β
County Lord, can you marry this thing casually?
His own identity, but the little prince of the Great Song Dynasty, married to a county lord of Western Xia?
With the prestige he established in this big victory, and marrying a foreign county lord, will Zhao Zhen still be able to sleep?
Without saying anything all the way, Zhao Yunrang returned directly to Bianliang City.
As a result, the greeting team came directly thirty miles away.
The leaders are almost all kinds of civil officials, Yan Shu, Wang Xiwen, and even Qian Weiyan are here.
Major military affairs, military affairs, military victories, and martial arts to open up territory have always been the highest honors.
Although the ministers said that there is always a little Jiujiu in the belly, such a big victory must be the highest in terms of treatment.
Zhao Yunrang enjoyed this kind of treatment helplessly, there was no way, this was not only his own treatment, but also the treatment of these greeting people.
If you show disdain, you are not only a desecration of state ceremonies, but also a contempt for these people.
Zhao Yunrang didn't want any of them to worry about it.
Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Zhou, was very surprised and did not come out to greet him.
It is not appropriate to be swaggering at this moment, Zhao Yunrang is very clear about this.
After the ceremony, Yan Shu announced the decree, rested at home, and reverted to the Golden Palace three days later.
Zhao Yunrang understood, Zhao Zhen estimated that he would have to use these three days to pick it up.
This is easy to understand, after all, the news of the great victory had already reached the capital at the beginning of the victory in the war.
There are carrier pigeons!
At this time, Zhao Yunrang did not hide it, and directly dedicated the carrier pigeon to Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen is also a person who has eaten pigeons!
Therefore, Zhao Zhen now has a complete grasp of the situation of the war, and even the situation of the negotiation.
Reaching an agreement with the Western Xia Kingdom is such a big thing, it is impossible for Zhao Yun to make full decisions.
The direction of Zhao Yunrang's agreement was basically in accordance with Zhao Zhen's intentions, that is, it was the emperor's will to implement it.
In the evening, at home, Zhao Yuanyan and Zhao Yunrang talked all night.
As for what was discussed?
Unknown.
However, three days later, at the Golden Palace, after Zhao Zhen gave Zhao Yunrang a very high praise, he raised a question. "Brother Wang, you have returned from a great victory this time, and your achievements are high, what kind of reward do you need?"
Zhao Yunrang's heart sank, he was not afraid of high merit, just don't be high.
"This time it is completely in accordance with Your Majesty's will, coupled with the strong support of Fan Han and the soldiers, so they have achieved such a record, and they dare not take credit!"
Zhao Yunrang's meaning is very clear, don't say that I have made such a big contribution, it is all because you command it properly.
When the ministers heard this, they were in the middle of it: "Long live my emperor Shengming and my emperor!" β
This is the result of the night talk.
The ministers would never let such a person who was born royal deserve it.
This is not a good thing for civil-military relations.
And thanks to the emperor, there is no problem with this.
The emperor is the emperor of everyone, and Zhao Zhen has stood at the highest peak.
So it's also a good idea to give credit to the emperor.
The main thing is that the strengthening of imperial power helps to curb the strength of the queen mother's side.
And Empress Dowager Liu did not object to this matter.
One is that the situation dictates that Zhao Yunrang is closer to this "son" than Zhao Zhen.
There is another reason, that is, Empress Dowager Liu's body suddenly collapsed.
Although it is also above the Golden Palace, it is supported by the two palace maids, and they rely on it like that.
But at this time, what is the cause of aging, this is a matter of the imperial doctor, and Zhao Yunrang is not easy to interject.
Zhao Zhen pondered for a while: "In this case, this war is a big victory for you, so you will restore the previous Marquis of Anyang County and promote you to the Duke of Anyang County!" β
This is the youngest duke in the history of the Great Song Dynasty.
You must know that Zhao Yunrang is only in his 20s at this time, and according to ancient sayings, he is not yet the age of a weak crown.
is in the position of the prince of the country, and it is not hereditary, but it is obtained by merit, which is particularly valuable.
The emperor's reward, thunder and rain and dew, are all Jun's grace, and they cannot be shirked, Zhao Yun kowtowed to thank him, and this reward was stopped.
This is actually the purpose of Zhao Yunrang, you must know that although this reward is promoted to the title of national prince, it seems to be grand, but in fact it is only the promotion of the title.
In other words, there is honor, there is treatment, but there is no real power.
After coming back, Zhao Yunrang had already returned the power of this festival envoy to Zhao Zhen.
In other words, the merit is high and the Lord is shaken, and this sentence is not just talking.
Zhao Yunrang thought about it in his heart, and Zhao Zhen also wanted it in his heart.
For Zhao Yunrang, he is unwilling to be such an official with real power, because he is indeed suspected of being a master of high merit.
For Zhao Zhen, he doesn't want to put down this kind of power.
After all, he inherited the will of his ancestor Zhao Kuangyin, and it was not easy to release the military power with a glass of wine.
