The place where the king of Zhejun temporarily lived was a small courtyard with a low wall outside, and he could see it from the upper floor. Outside his courtyard, he saw five or six people passing by, all dressed in official robes, obviously ministers of the DPRK and China. He saw one of them, the chief of the Ordnance Commissioner, who had been in contact with him on official business when he was a privy councillor. So he stood upstairs and cried out, "Where are you?" ”

Hearing his voice, several people looked over together, and then they all walked into his courtyard, and laughed loudly: "Hello to the king of Zhejun"

Zhi Yanzhi smiled and said politely: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”

Because he was familiar with Zhe Zhonggu, the military superintendent said: "This time, the king led the Northern Expedition and did his best, which can be said to be in the imperial court, and the famous and famous officials are honored."

"You're polite, come and come, a few of you come up and sit down and have a cup of tea?" Orihiko saw that people came to say hello in person, so he warmly invited.

As soon as these words came out, the members hesitated a little, and after looking at each other, the ordnance supervisor said something to a few people, and they all arched their hands and said to Zheyan: "I still have some things, so I won't bother the king, please take a step first, and I will toast the king a few more cups when the celebration banquet arrives in the evening." ”

Zhi Yanzhi hadn't reacted at this time, and still smiled: "It's okay, you have something to do, but go and get busy." "After that, the few went out of the courtyard, and only the ordnance supervisor came upstairs. At this time, the king of Zhejun noticed that several officials had left his courtyard and were all heading to the left-hand side, and when he saw this scene, he frowned, as if he had guessed something.

The ordnance supervisor came up, or said happy in a row, Zhe Yanzhi welcomed into the hall, the two because they knew each other in the early years, so you are not welcome, after the guest sat down, the ordnance supervisor praised him on the spot, and said: "The Great Song Dynasty Zhongxing, the historian should be the first to write the king's merit"

Zhi Yanzhi didn't doubt that he was sincere in what he said, but his expression gradually lost his joy, and he changed the topic and asked, "Supervisor Tao, why did those colleagues come to the pavilion?" ”

Hearing him ask about this, the ordnance supervisor said vaguely: "I heard that it seems to be a visit to the old man, but I don't know very well." ”

Zhi Yanzhi sneered, and said with a word: "If I remember correctly, I live next to Taiwei Liu of Huaixi." ”

The armory superintendent's face suddenly looked embarrassed, knowing that the king of Zhejun saw through it, and also felt his unhappiness, and hurriedly said: "Don't be too careful, the king doesn't have to worry too much, those few people have old things with Captain Liu, so they have no other meaning to come to meet." ”

Zhi Yanzhi became more and more dissatisfied, and snorted: "You deceived this king into being a foreign official? I have served in the center for many years, and even if I don't know any of the officials who have been promoted to the court, I am still familiar with them. Which department and which department are those people, I know in my heart, what kind of relationship can they have with Liu Guangguo? ”

The ordnance supervisor looked a little embarrassed, and said with relief: "The king is really careful, things are not like this......"

The reason why Zheyan is dissatisfied is that. In this Northern Expedition, he was the commander of the Song Army, at least, the commander of the Southern Song Army, his merit was the first, and the Manchu Dynasty had no objections, right? But now, the officials of the court went to visit Liu Guangguo, but they didn't come to worship him, why? Isn't it because Liu Guangguo is a relative of the emperor and gave birth to a queen?

How old is Liu Guangguo? Among the three-way Song army, the worst one is his Huaixi Army, what is it showing? If it weren't for the identity of the national master, why would he Liu Guangguo have the title of deputy marshal?

Anger turned to anger in his heart, but Zhi Yanzhi didn't say much, only said: "You don't need to explain, this is human nature." ”

The ordnance supervisor didn't intend to dwell too much on this topic, and suddenly said: "The colleagues in the DPRK and China are discussing it, and they all say that this time the king of the county has made great contributions, recovered the Central Plains, and recovered Tokyo, and the significance is extremely important, and the officials and the court will inevitably be rewarded." But the king has already become a supreme minister, and he has been awarded the title of prince of the county, and this time he will be promoted again, and he will be estimated to be ......"

Hearing this, the king of Zhejun chuckled and said: "High-ranking officials and lords, it is not my intention, but I have received the favor of the country from my family background, and I have always guarded the frontier instead of the imperial court." The hometown of Fuzhou once fell, and Xu Jiuyi tried his best to take it back, and when it came to the king's affairs, the saint and the court may be able to let us go back to our hometown, and the rest of our wishes are enough. ”

The ordnance supervisor heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, and returned the family to the town, which is appropriate and justifiable. But with the current status and prestige of the Zhe family, if the imperial court only gives Fuzhou one land, can you agree to it? Don't say anything else, you are now the king of the county, a very popular minister, and you will also be an ambassador of Xuanfu in Jiangxi, and let you go back to Fuzhou to be a governor, are you willing? Even if you are asked to be a strategic envoy of Linfu Road, you are afraid that you will have to lock up M-N to scold your mother. When you say this, you're just fighting for the children of the Zhe family, and you're not here.

I thought so in my heart, but I said: "The king is high-spirited and bright, he is not proud of his achievements, Shang Si is brave and retreats, and the lower officials really admire." It's just that although the Central Plains have been recovered, the country is still eventful, how can the imperial court lose the king? ”

Hearing this, Zhi Yanzhi smiled even more, but he still said: "You are the weapons supervisor, you should know that this battle will end one day." ”

The ordnance supervisor immediately replied: "The king is on the right path for the imperial examination, and he was born as a scholar. Orihiko laughed when he heard this.

That night, a grand celebration banquet was held in the Daqing Hall of the Forbidden Middle School. In addition to the emperor and civil and military officials, including the Emperor Zhao Huan, the royal family, and the elders and fathers, all attended. The atmosphere was warm, grand, festive, and the most showy, of course, was the king of Fenyang who led the Northern Expedition. The Emperor Taishang and the Emperor both personally followed him. Not to mention other colleagues in the DPRK and China, especially what Prime Minister Xu Liang said when he toasted him, which has another deep meaning. Xu Liu said that he hoped that the king of Zhejun would "not be arrogant in his ambitions, encourage the military situation, and make a great cause."

This is a bit big in tone. Because in terms of qualifications, the king of Zhejun is probably still a little bit higher than Xu Liu. You think that when Xu Shao was the privy envoy, Zhe Zhonggu was the deputy envoy, and the two of them took the team, so in this way, Xu Liu can be regarded as a junior. However, this is different from the past, and people are now the sole ministers of the DPRK and China, and it is still reasonable for them to advise a local ambassador in the capacity of prime minister.

Zhe Yanzhi didn't pay much attention to it, but it was the meaning of Xu Xiang's words, which attracted the attention of King Zhejun at that time. Not to be arrogant and to encourage the military situation, that is, to hope that the Song army will guard against arrogance and rashness, be vigorous and strong, and not slacken. "The great cause" means to complete our great cause.

Now that the Central Plains has been recovered, Shandong is also a matter of time, what does Xu Liu mean by "great cause", is it not clear at all? Although the Central Plains has been recovered, what about Hedong? What about Hebei? Yanyun region aside, at the very least, you have to get these two lands back, it can be regarded as a complete achievement, right?
