Zhao Ji had already received a briefing sent by the seed master Dao with Xinying, Empress Dowager Xiao fled, and the news that the Song army had captured Yanjing City also made Zhao Ji ecstatic, and he was in a state of extreme excitement for the whole day.

For this reason, he specially went to Taimiao to pay homage to the ancestors and ancestors, and comforted the ancestors with the news of the recovery of Youzhou.

However, what made Zhao Ji even more excited was that the Seed Master Dao wrote a sentence at the end of the eagle letter, seizing 15 million taels of silver, 800,000 taels of gold and countless treasures.

The Great Song Dynasty paid one hundred and twenty years of coins to the Liao State, and it was taken back overnight, which made Zhao Ji how could he not be excited, this wealth will undoubtedly greatly alleviate the financial difficulties of the imperial court, and the extremely serious financial crisis of the imperial court was solved by war.

In the early morning of the next day, the 800 li express report of the Seed Master Road arrived in the capital, and the content of the express was much more detailed than the pigeon letter, not only the news of the victory, but also the news that 80,000 golden soldiers had entered the Yanjing Mansion at the same time.

In addition, the eight-hundred-mile expedited and fast walk also brought the heirloom jade seal of the Liao State.

Zhao Ji immediately summoned the important ministers in the Vertical Arch Hall to discuss Yanjing's countermeasures, Zhao Ji said slowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the victory of the Eastern Route Army in Yanjing must have been known to everyone, the Liao State was treacherous, and the final death of the country was also their own fault, and the seed master not only sent a detailed battle report, but also sent me a special item, which is the jade seal of the Liao State, which was captured by Li Yanqing, the commander of the Right Army, from the palace of the Liao State, you can take a look." ”

Zhao Ji immediately ordered someone to hand over the jade seal of the Liao State and the seal of the emperor and queen of the Liao State to everyone for a closer look, and everyone was not interested in the seal of Ye Luchun and the Empress Dowager Xiao, but the jade seal of the Liao State was very rare.

Cai Jing said with a smile: "I don't know how many times I have seen the seal of this heirloom jade seal in the national book of Liao, but I didn't expect to see the real thing today, this heirloom jade seal belongs to the Great Song Dynasty, which proves that the Liao State has been destroyed, and at the same time, the land and population of the Liao State should also be inherited by the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhao Ji smiled slightly, "The land population is relatively empty, but what makes me happy is that it is our Great Song Dynasty that destroyed the Liao State, not the Jin State to destroy the Liao State, today I summoned you to come here, mainly to discuss two things, one is the reward of meritorious soldiers, and the second is the follow-up matters of Yanjing Mansion, it is estimated that we will have to negotiate with the Jin State." ”

At this time, Gao Yu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, can Weichen say a few words?" ”

"Captain Gao, please speak!"

Gao Yu walked out of the queue and said with a smile: "Recovering Youzhou, the whole world celebrates, my Great Song Dynasty also washed away a hundred years of shame, and also seized a huge amount of wealth to solve the financial difficulties of the imperial court. ”

This is the time that Gao Yu has been waiting for a long time, let the Son of Heaven seal the Seed Master Dao Wang Jue, and humiliate Tong Guan fiercely, it is best for Tong Guan to vomit blood and die, so as to relieve the evil spirit in his heart.

Zhao Ji groaned and said: "It is a big deal to be crowned a prince, don't be in a hurry at this time, after the Song and Jin negotiations are over, we will sit firmly in Yanjing Mansion, and it will not be too late for me to fulfill the will of the first emperor at that time, but I am considering adding the title of the Seed Master Dao Taibao and the Hussar General, and the title will be discussed later, what do you think of the Aiqing?" ”

Cai Jing said with a smile: "Your Majesty's caution we fully agree, the king really can't be too hasty, at least wait for the triumphant class of the seed master Dao, in addition, Weichen suggested that His Majesty reward Li Yanqing, after all, he is the real hero of the bloody battle, recapture of Yanjing, in the surrender of Guo Yaoshi, the capture of Fanyang County and the defeat of Xiao Gan's army in Liangxiang County, he has made great contributions, this Northern Expedition He has made outstanding contributions, and the old minister implores His Majesty to be rewarded exceptionally." ”

Of course, Cai Jing knew that Li Yanqing would be rewarded, and the official family even had to meet Li Yanqing's father, in this case, he stood up and expressed his position, as if it was his suggestion, and he got a favor out of thin air, and Cai Jing of course also wanted to take the opportunity to improve the relationship with the prince.

Zhao Ji nodded and said: "Although Li Yanqing's qualifications are shallow, but he can make great contributions repeatedly, I decided to reward him exceptionally, the official was promoted to the third level, he was named the Taizhong doctor, the Longtu Pavilion servant, and the Tangyin County Marquis, rewarded with 5,000 taels of gold, 10,000 silk horses, purple robes, and goldfish bags." ”

Everyone in the hall looked at each other, and everyone didn't expect that the Son of Heaven would be so generous, and the official rank was promoted from the sixth rank to the fourth grade, and he was actually awarded the title of the founding county marquis from the third grade.

Zhao Ji smiled again: "Today's main thing is to reward a handsome general, other generals will have a reward, I will never treat meritorious ministers, now I will discuss with you the follow-up matters of Yanjing Mansion, how to negotiate with Jinguo, I hope you Aiqing will actively contribute." ”

．．．．．．．．．

Li Daqi changed into the court clothes of the seven-rank official, and followed the eunuch to the Wende Hall with anxiety, which is a place for the Son of Heaven to rest a little after retiring from the court, and is generally used to temporarily meet with ministers.

Li Daqi waited at the door for a while, and a eunuch came out and said, "The Son of Heaven announces that Li Daqi is here!" ”

Li Daqi hurriedly followed the eunuch into the main hall, he didn't dare to look up, and knelt down to pay homage to the pilgrimage line when he walked to the pilgrimage line, "Xiaomin Li Daqi meets His Majesty the Emperor, I wish Your Majesty long live, long live, long live!" ”

The emperors of the Song Dynasty were relatively close to the people, and it was common to meet civilians, Zhao Ji smiled slightly, "Li Yuanwai is exempt from courtesy, give me a seat!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your seat!"

Li Daqi had already practiced repeatedly yesterday afternoon, and he was generally familiar with some basic etiquette.

A eunuch sent an embroidered pier, Li Daqi sat down sideways, Zhao Ji smiled again: "Actually, I am also using Bao Yan Zhai's balm, especially topaz balm, which is smooth and delicate, very comfortable after washing the skin, and the perfume and rouge are also very good, my queen likes it very much, she only uses Bao Yan Zhai, and I also hope that Bao Yan Zhai can make better items." ”

Li Daqi hurriedly said: "Thank you Your Majesty Chrysostom for your appreciation, Xiaomin is very grateful, recently Bao Yan Zhai is developing a shampoo, using soaphorn juice as raw materials, with special incense, plus milk, it will be launched soon, called Acacia Hair Milk, I hope Your Majesty can also like it." ”

Zhao Ji was overjoyed, "This is a good thing, let's say it first, I must use it first." ”

"Xiaomin doesn't dare, I must let His Majesty use it first."

Zhao Ji said again: "This time Ling Lang has made great contributions in Yanjing, thanks to the Great Song Dynasty, I have decided to be rewarded exceptionally, I also heard that her mother died very early, it was you who raised him with hard work, and I am also very grateful to you." ”

Praised by the Son of Heaven, Li Daqi only felt a sour nose, and the hard work of raising his son in the past was worth it, he hurriedly said: "Yanqing has been a genius since he was a child, and he won the top spot in the Tangyin County Divine Power Competition at the age of six. Where will he have today's results? ”

Li Daqi is worthy of being a big businessman, very good at talking, Zhao Jilong Yan Dayue, nodded and said: "I remember that during the Bow and Horse Competition, Li Yuanwai was named Lang Guan, although it was a false position, but it was also an identity, this time we will take another step, I will give Li Yuanwai the founding baron, and reward a pair of silverfish bags!" ”

Li Daqi was overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed, "Xiaomin, thank Your Majesty Longen!" ”

Zhao Ji was also a little tired, so he smiled and waved his hand, "Go ahead!" I look forward to your acacia cream. ”

Li Daqi got up and slowly withdrew from the Wende Palace, he was so excited, he actually had a knighthood.

．．．．．．．．

In the afternoon, Li Daqi came to his son's house, because Cao Ping's father and son came to visit Cao Yun, and Li Daqi also hurried to meet his in-laws.

Today, Cao Yun was also canonized, she was named the fourth class of the edict Shuoren, the Song Dynasty stipulated that the wives and mothers of officials above the Liupintong Zhilang could be awarded the edict, and the general women were titled the ninth class, Mrs. Guo, Mrs. County, Lady, Shuoren, Ren, Gongren, Yiren, Anren, and Ruren.

According to Li Yanqing's official rank from the fourth rank of Taizhong doctor, Cao Yun should be named a person, but because Li Yanqing has a higher title, she was exceptionally named a Shuoren, one level higher than her mother.

Cao Yun's stomach was already high, and she sat quietly on the side, with his grandfather Cao Ping and Grandpa Li Daqi sitting in the center, and her father Cao Xuan opposite.

Cao Ping also seemed very happy, but he was not too satisfied with Li Yanqing's title, he waved his hand and said: "It is a court practice to rely on military merits to obtain a knighthood, and it should have nothing to do with qualifications. ”

Li Daqi was so frightened that he couldn't say a word, and Cao Xuan was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again, "Father, don't say anything nonsense!" ”

"You know!"

Cao Ping scolded his son fiercely, and said to Li Daqi: "Don't think that I am a mouthful, I have read the will of the Son of Heaven, and whoever takes Yanjing can be crowned king, what is the main general?" Don't I, the general, know it yet? Yanqing is the commander of the right army, the old breed is not the main general, but the commander of the capital, the prince is the generalissimo, everyone says that the old breed is going to be crowned king, I am very angry, obviously it should be Yanqing king, why no one pointed out this problem? ”

Li Daqi said cautiously: "He is not a royal family, he is crowned king at such a young age, he will become the target of public criticism, and it is not good for him, besides, the main general in the holy decree should be the meaning of the commander, and it cannot be understood one-sidedly, otherwise it should be said that the main general and the commander can be crowned king." ”

Cao Ping pondered and said: "You have a point, he is too young, and it is indeed not good for him to be crowned king, but the words of the holy decree are very cautious, and there will be no ambiguity, and the main general it says refers to the main general who enters the Yanjing army, otherwise it will be written as the commander according to the original words of Emperor Shenzong." ”

At this time, Cao Yun, who had not spoken, asked in a low voice: "Now that the war is over, when will Yanqing go home?" ”

Cao Ping shook his head, "The war is not over, the 80,000 troops of the Jin State have also entered Youzhou, and it is still unknown who Youzhou will belong to." ”

This sentence made Cao Yun and Li Daqi's faces turn pale, it turned out that the danger was not over.
