Ten days later, with the revoked of the military government of the Eastern Route Army of the Northern Expedition, the army was disbanded, and the army returned to its original place, Zhao Ji, the son of heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, after refusing three times, was still 'forced' to accept the request for the retirement of the planter, and allowed him to return to his hometown for the elderly, and at the same time rewarded him with 5,000 taels of gold, a mansion in Jingzhao Mansion, and 5,000 hectares in Shangtian.

At the same time, in view of the repeated refusal of the seed master to accept the lord of Guangyang County, Zhao Ji did not force it anymore, but instead named him the Duke of Yongguo, and the only crown of the king with a different surname in the Great Song Dynasty was hung up again, which once again attracted countless people to covet it.

After approving the request for the retirement of the planter, Zhao Ji, the son of heaven, was in a good mood, and immediately approved the Northern Expedition East Route Army's promotion and reward merit book, which was something that the 80,000 soldiers of the East Route Army had been looking forward to for a long time.

So when the proclamator announced the news that the merit book for promotion and reward was approved, the entire barracks were boiling, the generals were promoted, and the soldiers were rewarded, wasn't this what they were fighting desperately for?

Early the next morning, when the Northern Expeditionary flag was slowly lowered under the gaze of 80,000 people, the military government was officially disbanded, and everyone said goodbye one by one, but more people came to the capital to drink bitterly, or went to the brothel to buy spring to vent.

On the second floor of Qingfeng Restaurant, Li Yanqing, Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Niu Gao sat at a table by the window drinking and saying goodbye.

Zong Ze had consulted Yue Fei before, and Yue Fei wanted to return to his hometown to take care of his parents, but there was only one position suitable for him in Xiangzhou, so he could only take office.

Wang Gui and Niu Gao will both go to serve in the Hedong Army, Wang Gui is the commander of the sixth grade, and Niu Gao is the deputy commander of the seventh grade, this is the result of Li Yanqing persuading the seed master Dao, otherwise with the humility of the seed master Dao, his subordinates will have to take up their posts.

Li Yanqing didn't do it, Yanjing City was defeated by his right army, and in the end, the benefits were given to others, but his subordinates drank the wind, and this kind of thing can't be left on anyone.

Li Yanqing argued on the basis of reason, and in the end, he had to give in, and all the partial generals under Li Yanqing served as commanders or deputy commanders, commanding armies ranging from 1,000 people.

"This time the old soup is miserable!"

Wang Gui sighed and said: "I have persuaded him many times before, don't get too close to people like Tong Guan, it's okay to get close, but you have to have a backstage background, or it's not bad if you have money, but Lao Tang doesn't have any of them, now he knows that it's powerful, and he was thrown out by Tong Guan to take the blame and go to the end." ”

Li Yanqing also heard the rumors, and after praising the Eastern Route Army, now the imperial court began to investigate the responsibility for the annihilation of the Western Route Army, and Tong Guan only received a punishment of understatement suspension and reflection.

But after all, the responsibility for the destruction of the whole army is there, the big fish above refuses to bear it, it can only be borne by the shrimp below, in addition to the commander Xin Xingzong was removed from his post to serve as the army, several deputy commanders were also dismissed, in addition, Tong Guan submitted a list of responsibilities of more than 30 people, and the commander Tang Huai was impressively listed, and finally was removed from all official positions and demoted to an ordinary soldier, Tang Huai had to return to his hometown gloomily.

At this time, Niu Gao, who had been silent, suddenly said in a deep voice: "Being able to escape with his life in 100,000 troops is already the favor of God, and there will be gains and losses, otherwise something big will happen to him sooner or later." ”

Li Yanqing glanced at Niu Gao in surprise, he didn't expect this usually taciturn black man to say such insightful words.

"Lao Li, if you have time, go and see Lao Tang!" Wang Gui bit his lip and said this sentence for a long time.

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, how could he not understand what Wang Gui meant, after all, Wang Gui married Tang Huai's sister, and no matter how bad the relationship is, the family affection of his brother-in-law is something he can't erase.

"I know, there is a chance to go back to Tangyin, I'll go see him."

Li Yanqing thought for a while, and then said to Yue Fei: "I have a few good stones over there, and you give them to Tang Huai's father for me when you go home, which can be regarded as a little bit of my heart as a junior." ”

Tang Huai's father loves to collect stones, this is something they have known since childhood, Li Yanqing sent stones to Tang Huai's father at this time, of course, he was euphemistically comforting Tang Huai, and at the same time giving him a glimmer of hope, Tang Huai has been his friend since he was a child, although fame and fortune are a little heavier, and he got on Tong Guan's thief ship, but didn't he almost get on Tong Guan's thief ship back then?

Yue Fei nodded, and asked again, "Has Yanqing gone anywhere?" ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, it was funny to say, he was the first general to be crowned, but he was the last general who didn't know where he went.

The Great Song Dynasty paid attention to the 'integration of official affairs and affairs', the official he already had, the fourth product was a doctor, and the post was also there, and he was also the fourth product of the Baosheng Army to undertake the propaganda envoy, but the specific errand was not yet, this is the key, his previous errand was the right army command, but the Northern Expeditionary Army has been disbanded, and the errand of the right army has disappeared, so he can only find another way to find another job.

"Then Yanqing plans to stay in Beijing or go somewhere?" Yue Fei continued to ask.

He knew that with the background of Li Yanqing's son-in-law of the Cao family, it was impossible to have nothing to do, and he wanted to know about Li Yanqing's future plans.

At this time, Wang Gui and Niu Gao looked at him together, which was also something they wanted to know.

In front of a few friends, Li Yanqing didn't want to hide it, so he smiled and said: "I want to go to Taiyuan to be the prefect!" ”

If he said this a year ago, no one would believe it, at that time he was still an eight-rank small county commander, and now he is a fourth-grade high-ranking official, a dignified third-grade Tangyin County Marquis, he is already fully qualified to serve as the prefect, of course, Kaifeng Mansion Yin is still a little bit worse, that is from the third-grade position, but at least the third-grade official can be a real official.

Wang Gui and Niu Gao were overjoyed, Wang Gui jumped up and said, "We are also in Taiyuan, so shouldn't everyone come out to drink again?" ”

Li Yanqing knocked on the heads of the two of them with chopsticks, "Don't be too happy, I just said that I want to go to Taiyuan, but I can't necessarily go there!" ”

Wang Gui smiled, "Of course we understand, the son-in-law of the Cao family!" How is it possible to go wherever you want? ”

After speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Yue Fei and Niu Gao again, and even Yue Fei, an old old-fashioned man, couldn't help but laugh tacitly.

Li Yanqing had no choice but to raise his glass and smile: "Come on!" Let's have a drink together, practice for the three brothers, and also wish the three of them a bright future and a prosperous future! ”

．．．．．．．．．

Saying goodbye to the three friends, Li Yanqing also returned to his home, this is the first time he has gone home in two months, Cao Yun and the three have already prepared a table of reception, although Li Yanqing has drunk in the afternoon, but he did not dare to find an excuse to go away, so he had to sit down again to eat and drink with his family, the banquet was happy, laughter continued, for a while, Li Yanqing gradually forgot the war in Yanjing and the sadness of the departure of the handsome.

At night, he slept in Sisi's room, Xiao Biesheng was newly married, this night Li Yanqing enjoyed all the gentleness, Sisi was naturally a long drought to welcome the rain, the effect was also very significant, the next day, she became bright-eyed, extraordinarily gorgeous, as if overnight, all the vitality was glowing.

But Li Yanqing didn't rest the next day, he came to Liang Shicheng's mansion early in the morning, this was a discussion between him and Cao Ping in advance, and Liang Shicheng's superficial efforts should be done sufficiently, and the villain can't have deep friendships, but he can't be offended.

However, as Li Yanqing spent more time in the officialdom, the more things he understood, for example, Cao Sheng said that Wang Ding was Liang Shicheng's biggest confidant, but Li Yanqing didn't think so, he thought that Deng Yong was Liang Shidu's biggest confidant, but as a result, a Kaifeng Mansion Yin appeared.

Li Yanqing only now understands that Liang Shicheng's biggest henchman will never show up easily, and this person will never reveal his identity until the critical moment.

He only waited in front of the gate of the Liang Mansion for a while, and the compound led him into the mansion, "Li Chengxuan is lucky, usually the old man is in the palace, and today is just the exception, Li Chengxuan is here." ”

Li Yanqing smiled bitterly in his heart, the political consciousness of these housekeepers is not ordinarily high, and they actually know that they have been appointed as a propaganda envoy.

Not long after, Li Yanqing came to the front of Liang Shicheng's study, he stood as usual, and said with a smile in the courtyard: "The master said, you can go in directly, you don't need me to report!" ”

Li Yanqing is not surprised, he used to have this privilege, but later because of the prince's affairs and Liang Shicheng's coldness, this privilege was canceled, and today he actually came back again, probably because he came to visit him the next day after he went home.

Li Yanqing walked directly into the study, and saw Liang Shicheng standing at the table writing, and before he could salute, Liang Shicheng smiled and beckoned to him, "Yanqing, come and see my handwriting, it is the best one I wrote this year." ”

"It seems that Taifu feels good today!"

Li Yanqing stepped forward with a smile, but found that he did not write Su characters, but Zhao Ji's thin gold body, and he wrote decently, quite a bit of Zhao Ji's charm.

Li Yanqing nodded and smiled: "Baoyanzhai's brand is a little old, my father is worried!" No, a solution has been found. ”

Li Yanqing's explicit praise made Liang Shicheng extremely comfortable, and he laughed: "It's really true, no matter how similar I write, I can't replace it." ”

He put down his pen and smiled: "Sit down and talk!" ”

Li Yanqing felt that this deal was not bad, and he didn't have to salute in exchange for a word of praise, but he was very resistant in his heart, and he really didn't want to bow his head to Liang Shicheng.
