The wound on the face, the missing half of the ear. When I was in the army, no one paid too much attention to it, and many men in the army were more or less injured, and there were not a few people with unrecognizable faces.

So Zheng Kai didn't feel that he was very different before returning to Hejian. It wasn't until the moment he faced his parents and relatives that Zheng Kaifang suddenly felt a little at a loss.

After returning to the Imperial City of Hejian, several aunts were in tears. On the contrary, it was Xu who smiled and said to comfort everyone. Just say that Kyle is back safely.

Zheng Erye is the most open at this time, and the words in his mouth are that his brother is like this, which is more manly and extraordinary.

Zheng Kai himself didn't feel anything unsightly, and he was just afraid that his relatives would be sad when they saw the scars on their faces. At the beginning, Zheng Kai was a little unbearable in his heart, and then Zheng Kai gained the respect of others and the majesty of his own sudden rise, which made him still enjoy this feeling in his heart.

The only trouble that the scars on his face brought to Zheng Kai was that a few little brothers and sisters hid away when they looked at him, and they didn't dare to come closer, no matter how Zheng Kai teased, several children were scared and hid behind people.

Zheng Kai was also relieved, and he also knew that it would be fine after a while. There was a good banquet in the palace tonight, and Li Gang's seed master and others all entered the palace to attend the banquet. It's just that Luda and Wu Yong are not there.

There are also a few more teenagers, Lu Meng, Lao Hu's sixteen-year-old grandson Hu Kaijiang, Hu Kaijiang and now he is also with Zheng Kai, and he is the leader of Zheng Kai's personal guard one day.

Today's Xiaohu can no longer be called Xiaohu. Hu Baoguo, in his thirties, with a stubble on his face, brought a sword to the guard from the second rank in front of the emperor, and wore a sword and armor when he entered the palace, so he was also the head of the guard.

The Imperial City is guarded, and the outer armor belongs to the Gyeonggi Garrison under the Imperial Forest Chamber, and Niu Da is responsible for the command. The imperial guards inside are Xiaohu's subordinates, as well as the secret sentry guards, who are subordinate to the elite masters of the inspection department.

Tonight, get drunk.

Zheng Kai and Lu Meng, who were drunk, talked even more eloquently when they were in high spirits, and Zheng Zhi listened quietly most of the time, and asked a few questions from time to time.

At the end of the banquet, there was actually another person, who was Yelu Yilie, who returned to Beijing with Zheng Kai first.

After meeting the emperor, Yelu Yilie sat at the end, most of them did not say a word, but he kept remembering the appearance, names and official positions of everyone present.

In this Great Xia Dynasty, since entering the Yumen Pass, the scenery has gradually changed, and it has also made this Khitan who grew up in the Western Regions really gain some knowledge.

Just like this river, which does not even have a city wall, it is so big that you can't see the edge at a glance, and it is also bustling and dazzling.

Along the way, I also heard Lu Meng talk about the prosperity of Jiangnan, and Yelu Yilie especially wanted to go to the land of Jiangnan to see, but His Royal Highness the prince, if he wants to get out of the river, it is obviously not so easy, and he has to report layer by layer, and finally he has to go to Zheng Zhi to nod in person.

Li Gang looked at this Zheng Kai who was beaten by himself with a ring ruler since he was a child, the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, Li Gang, who has always been upright and rigorous, finally said a sentence when he was drunk: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Zhao, you really have the demeanor of Your Majesty, you are brave and brave in battle, and you are also working hard to study and study, and you are fortunate to be in the country!" ”

Zheng Zhi was really happy today, he drank too much, and turned his head to look at Li Gang with his eyes blurred, but his heart was still like a mirror. Some things, like Wu Yong, say every year, are troublesome for Zheng Zhi, and like Li Gang, he never says it, and the effect is obviously different when looking for an opportunity for everyone to be happy.

As soon as Li Gang said this, the seed master also had a straight face, looked left and right, and said: "I have such a prince in Daxia, fortunately, fortunately!" ”

Of course, Shi Jin bowed his head and was silent, this kind of thing, anyone can say it, but Shi Jin can't say it. After all, the way of the monarch and the minister is not the time to start a business like it was at the beginning, it is related to the country's social welfare, and it is about life and death. Shi Jin, as the commander of the Gyeonggi Garrison Theater, is inconvenient to express any opinions on royal matters.

Li Gang saw that the seed master also spoke out to support him, and he no longer had the slightest scruples in his heart, and said again: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Zhao is outstanding, benevolent and generous, and can be established as the crown prince, stabilize the society, and appease the people." ”

Li Gang spoke bluntly, and did not shy away from Zheng Kai at all.

Lu Meng, Hu Kaijiang and several other juniors were stunned when they heard this, looked up at everyone, and hurriedly lowered their heads. I was panicked for no reason, but I didn't know what I was panicking about.

Zheng Kai heard Mr. Li praise himself just now, he was smiling, and he was about to get up to thank Mr. for the praise, but he didn't expect that after Li Gang finished speaking, the seed master continued to praise, and then immediately said about the establishment of the prince.

Zheng Kai had never thought much about the prince before, in fact, it was because Zheng Kai didn't need to think about it, and Zheng Kai had always been more open-minded in personality.

was suddenly mentioned by Li Gang today, and Zheng Kai was a little surprised, and he didn't know what to say.

If Wu Yong was present, he would inevitably hurriedly squeeze his eyebrows and remind Zheng Kai to hurry up and say a few words of modesty and prevarication. Or Wu Yong thought that he was going to talk about the prince today, so he must have gone to Zheng Kai early, explained, and taught Zheng Kai how to deal with it when the time comes, how to be humble, and how to express the openness in his heart.

But Li Gang is different, Li Gang will not do these private preparations like Wu Yong, but say it bluntly at this banquet. It also made Zheng Kai unprepared in his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

The audience suddenly fell silent, and those who dared to raise their heads like Li Gang were staring at Zheng Zhi and waiting for Zheng Zhi's response. Those who did not dare to raise their heads bowed their heads and remained silent.

Li Gang said this matter today, firstly, because of his personal relationship with Zheng Kai, after all, Zheng Kai was taught by Li Gang. The second is that Zheng Kai is really outstanding and qualified to succeed the unification. Thirdly, it is also Li Gang's public heart, there are too many things in history for the prince's power to seize profits, and if things are not settled at this time, the coming day will inevitably be a long night. After more than ten years, the other two princes have grown up, and who can guarantee that no one will think more, or that no villain will instigate a few words in the back.

In the past, Zheng Kai had no merit and no work, but now Zheng Kai has made great achievements. It can even be said that the power was in its infancy, after this war. The world's military warriors are looking at the scars on Zheng Kai's face, looking at Zheng Kai's lost half of his ears, and the military warriors are not convinced.

Zheng Kai's forces, the 150,000 troops who went to the Western Regions, after nearly three years, I am afraid that they are also convinced by Zheng Kai in every way.

The position of the crown prince is to let the later people stop thinking too much. Let the country and society be stable and avoid some unnecessary chaos.

This is what Li Gang thinks, and the seed master center must think the same.

Zheng Kaihuan looked at it for a week, and suddenly laughed: "Okay, Bo Ji is looking for an auspicious day, and he will decide the matter of this prince." ”

Li Gang was overjoyed when he heard this, and got up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

The planter also had a smile on his face, and reached out to stroke his beard.

Lu Meng, who lowered his head, heard Zheng Zhizhi's words, subconsciously laughed, raised his head, and seemed to know that he shouldn't laugh like this, so he quickly stopped laughing.

Zheng Kai also knew what he should say, but he said: "This... This one... ”

I just don't know what to say.

Li Gang immediately realized that Zheng Kai was a little at a loss, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, thank Your Majesty as soon as possible." ”

When Zheng Kai heard this, he hurriedly got up and bowed, and said, "Thank you, father!" ”

Zheng Zhi smiled and waved his hand, motioning for Zheng Kai to sit down, about Zheng Kai becoming the prince, obviously Zheng Zhi had already made up his mind in his heart, but he didn't expect that Li Gang would say it first after drinking today.

For this son, Zheng Zhi is obviously satisfied in his heart. Zheng Zhi is a military man, and he is satisfied with a man like Zheng Kai who can go into battle, there is no doubt about this. This westward expedition is obviously Zheng Kai's test for Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Kai can be brave, and Zheng Zhi has nothing to worry about. Shangwu seems to be the most important consideration for Zheng Zhi in selecting an heir.

After Li Gang finished the things in his heart, he drank the wine, and let go of his hands and feet, and even carried a cup to salute the juniors, so that Lu Meng, Hu Kaijiang and others were flattered, and they kept saluting and nodding, listening to Li Gang's verbal teachings.

Persuade people to be good, persuade people to read more, persuade people to be around Zheng Kai, learn more, don't do evil things, don't have bad habits. Don't get close to the villain, but walk around with the gentleman more.

Li Gang's mind is only for Zheng Kai's good, and he is really well-intentioned, not to mention educating Zheng Kai for more than ten years, and now he has to educate the people around Zheng Kai.

If Hu Kaijiang is like Hu Kaijiang, he nodded again and again, went to worship again and again, and answered again and again. Lu Meng nodded in reply, but he also heard the first two big, thinking in his heart that this Li Xianggong was really endless, the young man thought so in his heart, but on the surface he still looked like he was listening carefully.

Only Shi Jin didn't care about it, he only had a few drinks with Zheng Zhi alone, and the rest of them were not active, and when they were passive, they also seemed a little cold.

In the main hall, there is another person who is also very happy, that is, the second-grade guard with a knife at the door, Hu Baoguo. It was Hu Baoguo who knew that his son was eating wine inside, so he sat next to His Royal Highness King Zhao. Now that His Royal Highness King Zhao is the crown prince, there is nothing more joyful than this.

One night, drunk!

When the banquet was over, Li Gang was carried out of the imperial city by Hu Baoguo, personally sent to the carriage, and personally sent to his home.

Zheng Kai also staggered back to his palace, fell asleep, and vaguely heard Xu's complaining voice in his sleep, complaining that he shouldn't let his baby son drink so much wine, and he was unconscious.

Zheng Kai, who was asleep, didn't hear the horn company camp in the cold night, heard the mother's reproach, showed a smiling face, and fell asleep.

Early in the morning, just after dawn, outside the door of Zheng Kai's wing, there was a ding-dong sound, waking Zheng Kai up from his sleep.

The sound of banging on the door was like a robber robbing, and there was a voice outside the door: "Brother, don't get up yet... Hurry up. ”

Zheng Kai sat up sleepily, shook his head that was still a little dazed, lifted the splendid quilt, walked to the door and opened the door.

"Xuan'er, I had a hangover last night, and I won't be allowed to sleep peacefully." Zheng Kai obviously didn't sleep enough, getting drunk was one of them, and it was also because the banquet lasted too late last night, and it didn't disperse until the second half of the night.

"Brother, it's Chinese New Year's Eve in a few days, tonight is the last poetry meeting in the river, if you don't catch up with the excitement tonight, then you can only wait until the fifteenth yuan of the first month." Second Master Zheng said with a smile.

Zheng Kai shook his head again and again when he heard this, and said: "Xuan'er, it's also a matter of the evening to catch up with the excitement, you came to knock on the door early in the morning, isn't it too early?" ”

"Brother, isn't this going to make an appointment with you first? My sister made an appointment with you, and then I went to Yolu Meng's stupid bastard. Second Master Zheng didn't seem to feel guilty about disturbing Zheng Kai's sleep.

Zheng Kai really hasn't participated in such a thing as the poetry club, and he probably isn't interested in it, because Zheng Kai has gone from the military academy to the martial arts academy, and he has to go to Li Gang to listen to the lectures, so he doesn't have the leisure. On the contrary, this younger sister Zheng Xixuan has been free since she was a child, she doesn't have to go to military school, she doesn't have to listen to her husband's lectures, she reads some poetry books by herself, and learns music, which makes Zheng Kai envious for seven or eight years.

Seeing that Zheng Kai couldn't either, he shook his head and said, "You go to Yolumeng, I'll sleep again." It's rare that Mr. Li doesn't have to go to class, and he doesn't have to go to a military colonel. Let me sleep again. ”

Second Master Zheng only nodded and said, "Brother will sleep first, and then come to call you for dinner at noon." After eating, it's time to go out. I'm going to wake up that stupid guy Lu Meng. ”

Lu Meng obviously didn't get up at this time, and the Lu family's house in the river was just outside the side gate of the harem, not far away.

Zheng Kai turned around and went to the bedroom, and the second master naturally jumped up and down to find Lu Meng.

The Nalu family's mansion had just opened the door, and a young man with a few strong men came straight up.

The subordinate at the door was about to step forward to stop him, and was about to say the last sentence arrogantly: Where did you come from, how can the General's Mansion break into it indiscriminately, I am afraid that I have not eaten and beaten.

But just took a closer look, the young man in front of his head was not Her Royal Highness the eldest princess? Frightened, the little guy guarding the door turned around and ran.

While running back, he shouted: "Young master, young master, the eldest princess is here." ”

Lu Meng, who was sleeping in his sleep, faintly heard the shouting, so frightened that a spirit jumped up, touched the saliva on the corner of his mouth, wrapped his clothes and went to open the door, and the little guy had already run out of the door.

Seeing Lu Meng's panicked face, he asked, "She's here?" ”

The little girl cried and said with a sad face: "Young master, it's the eldest princess who is here." ”

Lu Meng turned his head and wanted to leave, leaving a sentence in his mouth: "I'll go hide first, and I'll say I'm not at home." ”

It was too late, and a voice came: "Stupid and reckless, where to hide?" ”

Lu Meng looked back, and he couldn't walk anymore, so he smiled and said, "It's not to hide, it's to go to the toilet, I ate too much wine in the palace last night." ”

Seeing that the petite young man, he stepped forward in a few steps, and actually raised his arm to pull the tall and reckless ear, and said with a smile: "Why are you so rude? ”

Lu Meng didn't hide, let alone raise his hand to block, but stood on tiptoe and straightened up, the petite Second Master Zheng couldn't reach Lu Meng's ears, so he heard Lu Meng say: "My Royal Highness the Princess... Can there be a positive shape? I, Lu Meng, am also a general now, and my subordinates will immediately kill people, and he is a good man who doesn't blink his eyes. Can you please stop doing this. ”

Second Master Zheng couldn't reach Lu Meng's ears as he did at the beginning, so he could only withdraw his hand, pretend to be angry, and said: "Be bold and reckless, I don't know how to bow when I see Second Master." ”

Lu Meng looked reluctant, and bowed his hand and said, "I've seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”

I didn't want the second master to hear this, so he was even more angry, and said: "You stupid guy really doesn't remember to eat... ”

Seeing that the second master raised his hand to fight, Lu Meng stiffened his head, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Hello sister!" ”

The second master was satisfied, waved his hand and said, "It's almost the same, let's go to the toilet." ”

Lu Meng has been in the school in this river for all these years, and he really bullied this sister miserably.

Lu Meng, who was squatting in the latrine, squatted for a long time, and was reluctant to come out. frowned and pondered, just thinking about how to be a man, completely bullying this sister.

It's just that this sister, a woman, is not the enemy before the army. I can't beat and beat, and I can't scold even more, it seems that there is really nothing to be done. is thinking that he has to find Zheng Kai to give advice, now he is not as reckless as before, he is also a brave general in the army, so he was bullied by a woman, and when he was passed to the army, what kind of face did he have to drink.

After thinking about it for a long time, I heard the voice of the elder sister coming from outside the toilet: "Stupid and reckless, the rice porridge that my sister brought you from the palace, after a hangover, it is best to eat rice porridge." ”

The second master went to see Zheng Kai, but he didn't bring rice porridge. came to find Lu Meng, but brought rice porridge. It's worth playing.

It's just that Lu Meng glanced down at the pit and hurriedly closed his eyes and shook his head again and again.
