boisterous

Tianbo Yang Mansion has not had such a lively scene for many years. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as the hour passed, a team of about a thousand people in bright armor came running from afar, and under the command of a governor on a black horse, they quickly drove away the pedestrians on the street, and lined up neatly on both sides of the street.

Immediately followed by the noisy sound of gongs and drums, eight white dragons pulled the dragon chariot and walked over.

Sitting on the dragon chariot was Zhao Heng, the emperor of Zhenzong today.

At the distance of a horse behind the dragon chariot, followed by two sedan chairs, the sedan chair on the left sat the prime minister of the dynasty, Kou Zhunkou, and in the sedan chair on the right, sat the prince of the dynasty, the king of the court.

Further to the right are more than 100 military generals of the current dynasty riding high-headed horses and wearing various types of armor, Gao Changchang and Huyan Pixian are all inside.

On the left is a slow walk of more than 100 civil officials wearing python robes and jade belts around their waists, Ding Wei, Li Di and other cadres walking in the queue.

Long Yuan came to the door of Tianbo Yang Mansion and stopped, Emperor Zhenzong walked out of Long Yuan with the support of the eunuch, and Yang Zongbao, who had been waiting there for a long time, hurriedly knelt down and said: "Minister Yang Zongbao is waiting for Your Majesty's holy drive!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Emperor Zhenzong took two steps forward and symbolically stretched out his hand to support him: "General Yang, please get up quickly!" ”

Only then did Yang Zongbao say: "Thank you, Lord Longen!" He stood up, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, please come in, the old grandmother heard that Your Majesty was coming, and she was already waiting for the Holy Driver in the front hall!" ”

Emperor Zhenzong said in his heart: "Hmph, this She Taijun, he can really rely on the old and sell the old, he knows that I have arrived, but he doesn't come out to pick up the car, and he waits for the holy car in the front hall, and he can also install it." But this time I came to ask for help, so I had to show respect for the old man and said: "The old lady is old, and there are many inconveniences in moving, what are you waiting for!" As he spoke, he walked up the steps and walked out of Tianbo Mansion, and Kou Zhun and Wang Qinruo also got off the sedan chair and followed in.

The other civil and military generals were automatically divided into two shifts in the order of civil officials on the left and military generals on the right, waiting outside the gate of Tianbo Mansion.

Emperor Zhenzong was in front, Kou Zhun and Wang Qinruo took half a step back, and walked into the front hall of Tianbo Yang Mansion together, She Taijun stood there waiting with the support of the two maids, and saw Emperor Zhenzong walk in, and nodded the dragon head of the dragon head crutch at Emperor Zhenzong three times, which was regarded as a salute of three bows, and said in an old voice: "The minister She Saihua is waiting for the arrival of the holy driver." ”

Emperor Zhenzong hurriedly took a step forward and stretched out his hand to support She Taijun and said, "Old Taijun, please sit down." As he spoke, he helped Mrs. She to sit down in front of the Taishi chair, and then sat on the Taishi chair on the right side of Mrs. She.

Old Taijun She said softly: "Give tea to Your Majesty." ”

A handsome maid hurriedly took a cup of fragrant tea and put it on the table next to Emperor Zhenzong and bowed, "Your Majesty, please use tea." He said and retreated.

Emperor Zhenzong looked sideways at Old Taijun She and smiled: "Old Taijun, we haven't seen each other for more than two years, and your old man is still in such a spirit." ”

Old Taijun She smiled and said, "This is all thanks to the royal blessing!" ”

Emperor Zhenzong said humbly: "There, there, this is all the blessing that the old lady is open-minded and cultivates by himself!" Speaking of which, Emperor Zhenzong nodded to Kou Zhun who was standing beside him.

Kou was ready to see it, and hurriedly shouted outside the hall: "Little ones, hurry up and bring in the gifts that Your Majesty has given to the old lady." ”

Someone outside the hall shouted, "Yes! Prime Minister. Before he finished speaking, he saw ten sturdy soldiers of the forbidden army, carrying five heavy large boxes, put the big boxes in the middle of the hall, bowed deeply to Emperor Zhenzong, and then withdrew.

Kou Zhun walked over and opened them one by one, and lifted the big red silk covering the five large boxes, and the people in the hall suddenly felt their eyes light up.

I saw that the five boxes contained a box of pearl jade, a box of jade agate, a box of gold ingots, a box of precious silk, and the last box contained a rare large coral more than half a person high.

She Lao Taijun nodded and asked Emperor Zhenzong with a side face: "Your Majesty, you will not be rewarded for nothing, I don't know why Your Majesty rewarded me with so many precious things from the Yang family." ”

Emperor Zhenzong said: "Old Taijun, you are not polite, tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival of September 9, this is my gift to you for your birthday, I wish your old man happiness like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and longevity is better than the old pine of Nanshan!" ”

She Taijun said lukewarmly: "Your Majesty is busy with a lot of work, and you are still thinking about the old body, and you really killed the old body." ”

Emperor Zhenzong said with a smile: "Old Taijun must not say that, your Yang family since the Taizu period in the Later Han Dynasty returned to the Great Song Dynasty, it can be said that my Great Song Dynasty is full of courage, from the beginning of Yang Laoling, all of them have been loyal to the country, it can be said that they are full of loyalty and martyrdom, and have made great contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, all of which I always keep in mind, so today I specially led a hundred civil and military officials to visit your old man." ”

After hearing this, Mrs. She turned to Yang Zongbao, who was standing behind her, and said, "Zongbao, hurry up and thank Your Majesty for your grandmother's kindness." ”

Yang Zongbao came to Emperor Zhenzong and knelt on the ground, "Poof! Poof! Poof! He snorted his head and said: "Minister Yang Zongbao thanked His Majesty for the emperor's grace, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Emperor Zhenzong hurriedly left his seat, stretched out his hands to support Brown Yang Zongbao and said, "General Yang, don't be polite, it's not under that court today, there is no need to make such a big salute." ”

Yang Zongbao stood up and stood behind Old Taijun She again.

At this time, Kou Zhun stepped forward and bowed deeply to She Taijun and said, "Old man, Kou Laoxi has saluted you." May you live a long and healthy life! ”

Old Taijun She smiled and said, "Thank you Lord Kou so much!" ”

Kou Zhun almost said: "Old man, you will see the outside, right?" I think that Yang Yanzhao and I were ministers in the same hall back then, and as brothers, shouldn't I give you the gift of children and grandchildren! It is a matter of course to give you a birthday greeting. ”

She Lao Taijun said: "Yes, yes, it is really difficult for you to come to this Yang Mansion several times a year for so many years." It's not like some people are just playing lip service. As he spoke, he glanced at Emperor Zhenzong casually.

Emperor Zhenzong could only pretend not to see it.

Kou Zhun smiled again and said: "Old lady, you don't go out of the gate of Boyang Mansion all day long, and you don't want to go out to see the changes in Bianliang City, Tokyo in recent years." ”

Mrs. She said: "I'm old, and I still have that mood there." However, listening to Zongbao and them, in the past few years, the Great Song Dynasty has been much more prosperous under the governance of His Majesty. ”

Kou Zhun said: "It's not just a lot of prosperity, it can really be said to be prosperous." Take this Tokyo Bianliang City as an example, the world may never find such a metropolis with singing and dancing. ”

She Lao Taijun said: "That's good, you are the result of your Lord Kou and other virtuous ministers who wholeheartedly assisted Your Majesty in making the country prosperous." ”

Kou Zhun shook his head and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, this is inseparable from your Yang family's bloody battles and defense of the territory." ”

Old Taijun She nodded and didn't make a sound, squinting her eyes and napping there.

At this time, Wang Qinruo came over and said, "Lord Kou, although I said so, I saw that this peaceful scene of singing and dancing was about to be lost. ”

Although Wang Qinruo's voice was not high, Old Taijun She could still hear it clearly, and suddenly opened her eyes and asked, "How can Lord Wang say this?" ”

Wang Qinruo looked left and right, and said with some embarrassment: "This ...... This ......"

Old Taijun She said a little angrily: "Lord Wang, don't you have anything to say in front of Your Majesty that is difficult to speak!" ”

Kou Zhun glared at Wang Qinruo fiercely and said, "Lord Wang, what did I say to you when I came, don't talk nonsense, so as not to disturb the purity of the old lady, but you just don't have a door." ”

She Lao Taijun said: "Lord Kou, what the hell is going on, is there still something to hide from the old body in the court!" ”

Kou Zhun bowed to She Taijun and said, "Where did your old man say this, our Great Song Dynasty is a monarch and a minister, what can we hide from your old man!" ”

She Lao Taijun said: "Then why does Lord Wang talk so much, it seems that there is something unspeakable." ”

Kou Zhun said: "Is this ......?"

She Lao Taijun lowered her face and said, "Kou Lao Xizi, don't follow me here or that." Saying that, he said with a faucet crutch: "Be careful that my faucet crutches have broken your backbone." Quick, there's something out there to tell the truth. ”

Kou Zhun said: "Okay, in that case, I'll talk to your old man." Speaking of this, he took two steps closer in front of She Lao Taijun and said: "Old Taijun, you also know that since this Great Liao Kingdom was repelled by us in the autumn of the first year of Jingde, it has always been a thief and has always been eyeing my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Hearing this, Old Taijun She asked eagerly: "Then what measures have the court taken?" ”

Kou Zhun said: "Your Majesty has already convened the ministers to discuss this matter the day before yesterday. ”

She Lao Taijun turned his head and asked Emperor Zhenzong, "Your Majesty, what measures do we have to deal with the enemy?" ”

Emperor Zhenzong nodded again and again: "Yes, of course there is." ”

Old Taijun She asked, "Then can Your Majesty tell the old body what Your Majesty plans to do!" ”

Emperor Zhenzong waved his hand and said: "Old lady, you have been living at home for many years, so you don't need to ask too much when you are old, I will deal with this matter with the Wenwu of the Satisfied Dynasty." ”

She Lao Taijun said a little angrily: "Then how can it be, my Yang family is also a child of the Great Song Dynasty." How can you not care about the affairs of the state? ”

Emperor Zhenzong said, "Okay then! Kou Aiqing, you can tell the old lady about the results of everyone's discussion in the court the day before yesterday! ”

Kou Zhun coughed twice and cleared his throat and said slowly: "Old lady, after discussing in the court the day before yesterday, everyone agreed that this attack on the Liao people must be-for-tat and give him a head-on blow!" ”

She Taijun paused the dragon's head crutch on the ground three times and said: "That's right, the people of the Liao Kingdom have always bullied the weak and feared the hard, as long as we hit their dog head a few times, they will pick up their tails and roll back to their hometown." ”

Kou Zhun said: "What the old lady said is extremely true. ”

She Lao Taijun said: "Then this time to go to the Liao State, who will be in charge, when will the expedition be, the old body will go to see him off, so as to strengthen my Song military might." ”

Kou Zhun smiled bitterly and said: "Old lady, what kind of line, what kind of power, now there is not even the person who is in command and leads the troops!" ”

She Lao Taijun said in surprise: "How can this be, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can't choose a marshal." ”

Kou Zhun shook his head and said, "It's really not!" ”

She Lao Taijun said: "Why not, some talents are probably useless to you!" The old body raised one person to His Majesty. ”

When Emperor Zhenzong heard this, he hurriedly said happily: "Old lady, I don't know who you are protecting?" ”

She Lao Taijun said: "This is the old body grew up watching from a young age, when he was thirteen years old, he went down to the border three times with a weak body to fight against the enemy of the Liao Gang invasion, if this person can take command of the expedition, then he will definitely be victorious, and he will succeed." ”
