Chapter 582: Wang Gui Arrives
"Brother Sun, please speak, Yanqing listens!"
Sun Daya bowed slightly, pretending to be mysterious: "This morning, the Son of Heaven issued an edict, taking the lead in defeating the Liao army of more than 3,000 people, the official will be promoted to two levels, and the reward will be 5,000 taels of gold, and at the same time the edict of Emperor Shenzong will be promulgated, and those who recover Yanjing will be crowned kings." ”
Li Yanqing smiled: "The former one has something to do with me, and the latter one should have nothing to do with me." ”
"That being said, the right to interpret is in the hands of the Son of Heaven, didn't Yanqing find out? Those who recover Yanjing, the main general can be crowned king, and he is the main general rather than the commander! Emperor Shenzong's original meaning may refer to the commander, but the Son of Heaven explained that he was the main general, and the capital was the main general, and if he took Yanjing, he would either be the king of the seed master Dao, or the king of Xin Xingzong, and it had nothing to do with Tong Guan. ”
Li Yanqing couldn't help but think secretly, in history, Tong Guan did not hesitate to spend millions of dollars to buy an empty city from the Jin people in order to be crowned king, if it is changed to the lord will be crowned king, Tong Guan spends a lot of money to make wedding dresses for others, is he still motivated? There is no Zhao Ji's edict in history, could it be that history has changed in these subtleties?
.........
Leaving the Zhu Skull Teahouse, it was still early, Li Yanqing went to the Yushitai to visit his former colleagues, and everyone congratulated Li Yanqing on his reinstatement, Deng Yong personally poured three glasses of wine for Li Yanqing to celebrate, and chatted for half an hour before he left the Yushitai and returned home.
Two days have passed in a flash, Li Yanqing has settled down in the new house, Li Yanqing has not gone out in the past two days, and has been sorting out books for her in Cao Yun's new study, Cao Yun has moved all his books from her mother's house, and it takes two large rooms to put down these thousands of books.
Cao Yun walked into the room with a bowl of chilled sour plum soup, and saw that her husband was about to put all his books on the shelf, she was happy and moved in her heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Husband drink a bowl of sour plum soup to cool off." ”
Li Yanqing was so hot that he was sweating profusely, and his clothes were soaked, he took the sour plum soup and drank it all, he shouted happily, he handed the empty bowl to Cao Yun and said with a smile: "There is still one last box of books left, and it will be done after it is put on the shelf!" ”
"It's been a hard two days."
Li Yanqing smiled and waved his hand, "I don't do this kind of thing, who will do it, it's my business, and it's only serious for the lady to have a good rest." ”
Cao Yun touched his stomach and smiled: "In the past two days, the child has been restless again, and he is kicking my stomach!" ”
"Let me hear it again!"
Cao Yun saw that there was no one left and right, so he pulled up his small clothes, revealing a snow-white round abdomen, Li Yanqing squatted down and put his ears on it, listening carefully to the child's fetal movements, "Lady, I heard it." ”
"Hmm!" Cao Yun agreed and gently stroked her husband's head.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, Cao Yun hurriedly put down his clothes, Li Yanqing stood up and asked, "Who is it?" ”
"Official, it's me!"
It was the voice of Li Yanqing's personal maid Xu Wu's little lady, Li Yanqing walked out of the study and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Mrs. Xu Wu saluted, "Qiqi official, Uncle Tai said that there are two court officials outside the door, please come over." ”
Li Yanqing was overjoyed, this must be someone from the military department, he turned back to Cao Yun and said, "Lady, I'll go over and sort out the book for you when I go back." ”
"Official, go! I'll let Qing'er sort out the last box of books. ”
Li Yanqing walked quickly to the front yard, there were two court officials sitting in the guest hall in the front yard, drinking the sour plum soup on the maid, at this time Li Yanqing walked into the guest hall, the two officials quickly got up and saluted, and the first official said: "We were sent by the Ministry of War, and under Liu Yi, we served as the head of the Department of War." ”
"On such a hot day, I still bothered the two of you to come in person, it's hard work, please take a seat!"
"We won't sit down, this is Li Tingshi's appointment letter for the Northern Expedition."
The director handed over a formal appointment letter to Li Yanqing, who opened it and wrote: 'Li Yanqing, the assassin of Quanxiong Prefecture, is hereby appointed as the commander of the right army of the Eastern Route Army of the Northern Expedition, and the general is under command from the capital. Below is the Great Seal of the War Department.
The command belongs to the middle and senior generals, and must be appointed by the imperial court, such as the lower-level partial generals, preparing generals, etc., are appointed by the capital system, and reported to the military department for approval.
"Is the 30,000 Hedong Army coming?"
"Yesterday has arrived, stationed in Beidaying, Seed Master Dao accepted the appointment of the Son of Heaven today, and will officially take office tomorrow, and I also ask Li Tingshi to report to Beidaying early tomorrow morning."
"Thank you two, then I won't keep two."
Li Yanqing gave the housekeeper Uncle Tai a look, and Uncle Tai prepared ten yuan of money and stuffed it into them when he went out.
As soon as the two military officials left, Tie Zhu hurriedly ran over, found Li Yanqing and said, "Official, master, please hurry up and go to Hongqiao Baoyan Zhai." ”
Li Yanqing was stunned, "What's wrong?" ”
"No.... There was no accident, it was Tang Yin's hometown that a lot of people came, and your brother also came. ”
When Li Yanqing heard that Wang Gui was coming, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Xu Wuxiao to tell his wife, and he rode towards Hongqiao.
Hongqiao Baoyan Zhai is full of guests, all of whom are Wang Gui's family, led by Wang Gui's grandfather Wang Wanhao, including his three sons, grandsons, daughters-in-law, granddaughters-in-law, etc., there are more than 20 people, large and small luggage loaded more than a dozen boats, all docked at the dock of Baoyan Zhai.
This is also a common practice, Tangyin County squires or officials come to the capital by boat, they have to borrow the pier of Bao Yan Zhai to stop the ship, received by Li Daqi, and then arrange accommodation for them, all live in the Hongqiao Inn, Hongqiao Inn and restaurant were bought by Bao Yan Zhai the year before last, specially used to usher in the send-off.
Li Yanqing rushed to Baoyanzhai and happened to meet Wang Gui's grandfather Wang Wanhao, Li Yanqing hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Azu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Wang Wanhao patted Li Yanqing's shoulder and smiled: "I also saw the court newspaper, Brother Qing is more promising now, he became a thorn at a young age, when you won the head of the prodigy club when you were a child, I will tell your ancestor that the Li family will rely on you to turn over in the future, and I am not wrong!" ”
"Thank you Azu for your compliment, what about Agui?"
Wang Wanhao hurriedly pulled Wang Gui over and said with a smile: "You young people go first!" In the evening, I had a treat and called Tang Dalang to get together. ”
Li Yanqing found that Wang Gui had a long scar on his face, he was secretly surprised, and hurriedly pulled Wang Gui outside Baoyanzhai and asked, "What's going on on your face?" ”
Wang Gui said angrily: "Thanks to Tong Guan, that fool, I was shot by a Liao soldier, and the tip of the arrow grazed my face, opening a bloody wound, and almost killing me." ”
"Did you participate in the Northern Expedition last month?"
Wang Gui nodded, "Xiangzhou's three thousand Xiang troops and one thousand township soldiers have been recruited, and I will lead five hundred township soldiers." ”
"What's going on?"
"It's hard to say, find a place to sit down and talk!"
Li Yanqing took Wang Gui to a nearby snack shop and sat down, and asked for two large bowls of iced sour plum soup and two steamed buns.
Wang Gui sighed and said: "The imperial court's statement is that a total of two battles were lost, Liu Yanqing was defeated in the north of Pingying Valley, Xin Xingzong was defeated in Zhuoxian, but in fact there was a third defeat, at that time, our Hebei 30,000 Xiang Army was transporting grain to Pingying Valley, Liu Yanqing's defeated army fled to, so that our 30,000 Xiang Army resisted the pursuing army, as a result, the Liao army once attacked us and the whole army was defeated, the scar on my face was left at that time, 30,000 Xiang Army and Township soldiers suffered heavy casualties!" There are only more than 100 people left under my 500 people, and the rest are all killed, as a stepping stone for the escape of the forbidden army, and finally Tong Guan put all the responsibility for the defeat on the Hebei Xiang army, saying that the Xiang army fled first, messed up the forbidden army's position, and the Song army was defeated. ”
"And then?" Li Yanqing asked calmly.
"Then all the Xiang Legion exercises were dismissed, and I was no exception, and now I am unofficial and light, and I am happy."
"It seems that your whole family has come to the capital this time?"
Wang Gui nodded, "The Northern Expedition of the Song army was defeated, there has been a panic in the Hebei border area, many people of Zhending Mansion and Xiongzhou have fled to Xiangzhou, my grandfather felt that the situation was not good, so he decided to take the whole family to move to Ezhou Manor, thanks to your advice, the Wang family bought a 3,000 acres of land manor in Jiangxia, and also repaired the house, this time our family moved over, there is a place to live." ”
"Where's the old soup?"
Wang Gui said lightly: "He mixed well, followed Tong Guan, and now he has been promoted to commander." ”
The commander is the deputy general of the command, usually appointed by the sixth rank or from the sixth rank official, Li Yanqing could see that Wang Gui had an opinion on Tang, so he no longer mentioned him, at this time, Wang Gui remembered something and said with a smile: "Maybe Niu Gao is coming to you!" ”
Li Yanqing hurriedly asked, "Where is he now?" ”
"He had been following Tang Huai and was promoted to a partial general, and his men were also killed and wounded in the Northern Expedition last month, Tong Guan scolded him for beating him with fifty military sticks, and removed him from his official position, he resigned in a fit of rage, I met him in Tangyin, he said to go back to his hometown first, and then come to you."
"What about you?"
Li Yanqing looked at Wang Gui and said, "Do you really care about anything and take refuge in Ezhou with a flick of your hand?" ”
