Chapter 301: Undercurrent (27)

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Shan Futian and the three of them knelt down in front of Song Yuren, and shouted long live. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 This is what all courtiers must do when they meet the king.

Song Yuren raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite, please get up quickly." ”

Seeing the three of them, Song Yuren was in a good mood, and when the country was in danger, there were still people who could stand up. For example, the three people in front of you.

He Tengxiao politely responded, ignoring Shan Futian's restrained eyes. After standing up, He Tengxiao just arched his hand towards Song Yuren, and after singing a fat mead, he was fine.

After standing up, He Tengxiao stood in place and looked at Song Yuren on the dragon chair. Song Yuren is upright and in his prime, and the edges and corners of his face are clearly visible, probably due to overwork, Song Yuren's face is a little thin, and his thin face has a tired look.

Song Yuren wore a crown hat, the hat was very thick, He Tengxiao couldn't see Song Yuren's white hair, but He Tengxiao guessed that if the hat was removed, this prosperous king might still have frost hair.

"Originally, you have made great contributions, and according to the rules of the imperial court, you have never been stingy with meritorious people, and you must reward them." Song Yuren said, there are punishments, there are rewards, this is the eternal iron law of every dynasty, and the Great Zhao Dynasty is no exception.

"It's just that now the enemy has not retreated, and the shame of my Great Zhao has not yet snowed, and it is inappropriate to reward Qing and others now." Song Yuren continued, "Wait until the day when Manyu retreats, and at that time, I will be rewarded, and I will never break my word, and I hope that Qing and others will make miraculous achievements." ”

Song Yuren said some polite words, the reason why he can't reward the three of Shan Futian now is not out of these polite words he said, of course, the lack of central finance is an objective reason.

Since it is a reward, it can't be too stingy, and it will lose the face of the court. Nor can we reward only the generals and not the low-level soldiers.

The Qinwang army that finally entered Jingshi City did not include those who had already died, and the number was still about 50,000, and more than 50,000 people was not a small number. Moreover, the Qin Wang army who was killed and injured in this battle, the imperial court more or less had to pay a little pension. All that money adds up, and it's an astronomical amount.

Song Yuren needed some time to raise the money.

"Serve the country, don't dare to say anything." Shan Futian said.

Song Yuren pondered for a moment and retreated. Wait until all the eunuchs and palace maids who are waiting on the left and right have retreated.

There are only five people left in the huge Heart Nourishing Palace: Song Yuren, Zhao Ze, Shan Futian, He Tengxiao and Zhang Yuyang.

Shan Futian and the three of them don't know why, I don't know why Song Yuren left the three of them at this time.

Song Yuren asked Zhao Ze to serve tea to the three of them, He Tengxiao was very arrogant and said that Zhao Ze brought the tea, and Shan Futian and Zhang Yuyang were very nervous. What kind of character Zhao Ze is, asking Zhao Ze to serve tea to the three of them really made Shan Futian and Zhang Yuyang feel nervous.

In the eyes of the outside world, Zhao Ze is a powerful eunuch, but in Song Yuren's eyes, Zhao Ze is just a domestic servant.

Zhao Ze served tea, Shan Futian and Zhang Yuyang took the tea in a panic, wrote about Zhao Ze, and took a few sips of tea symbolically.

And He Tengxiao poured all the tea in the teacup into his stomach in one go, and after drinking the tea, He Tengxiao touched his mouth heartlessly in the stunned eyes of Shan Futian and Zhang Yuyang. The tribute tea in the palace is different, compared with the tea outside, it is simply a heaven and an underground.

"Big companion." Song Yuren called Zhao Zedao.

After Zhao Ze heard Song Yuren's call, he put away the teacup and walked to Song Yuren in small steps to listen to Song Yuren's dispatch.

"Take two catties of tribute tea...... No...... Twenty pounds for this Aiqing. Song Yuren was very generous, and opened his mouth to send twenty catties of tribute tea to He Tengxiao, Song Yuren didn't know He Tengxiao's name, so he simply called this Aiqing first.

Song Yuren has no money, he is very short of money, but there is still no shortage of tribute in the palace.

"Your Majesty." He Tengxiao was unceremoniously, thanked Song Yuren, and directly ordered Song Yuren's tea.

"I know why I summoned you at this time." After the gossip, Song Yuren cut to the chase.

Of course, the three of Shan Futian didn't know why Song Yuren summoned them at this time and left them alone. Shan Futian shook his head first, and admitted very dryly: "The minister doesn't know. ”

Song Yuren said expressionlessly, "Just a moment before you came in, I received a message. ”

Speaking of this, Song Yuren paused and did not continue. It seems that they are waiting for Shan Futian to guess.

Shan Futian pondered for a while, and asked cautiously: "The minister dares to ask, I don't know if it's good news or bad news." ”

Shan Futian was a little nervous, he didn't know what Song Yuren was going to say, Shan Futian was sent to Jinling City to be the secretary of the Jinling Military Department, and he had been away from the center for a while, and he didn't know much about Song Yuren now, and he could even be said to be a little unfamiliar.

As the saying goes, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and getting along with the king is often like walking on thin ice and fighting with the king. This is also the time when Shan Futian gave up the opportunity to stay in the center and chose to go to Jinling City, which is thousands of miles away and is known as a nursing home for imperial officials.

"Bad news." Song Yuren said bluntly.

Shan Futian was stunned and didn't know how to answer Song Yuren.

Shan Futian didn't dare to answer Song Yuren's question, and Zhang Yuyang didn't dare to answer.

He Tengxiao was relatively open, and said with a big grin: "At present, I am afraid that the only thing that can be called bad news in front of the emperor is the entry of the Liao army. ”

He Tengxiao talked and laughed freely in front of Song Yuren, Song Yuren was a little surprised, and ordinary generals would feel very nervous when they met Song Yuren for the first time. All kinds of gaffes due to nervousness are not uncommon for Song Yuren to see, but the first time he saw the emperor, not only was he not nervous, but he talked and laughed freely, and it was the first time he saw Song Yuren.

"It's really bad news about the Liao army." Song Yuren bowed slightly, but Song Yuren was not very surprised, he guessed that He Tengxiao thought that the bad news he was referring to was the Liao army's siege of Jingshi City.

"You can tell me the bad news about the Liao army." Song Yu asked He Tengxiao to continue.

He Tengxiao smiled and said calmly: "The Liao army on the periphery of Jingshi City has surrounded Jingshi City for some time, and the bad news that the emperor refers to is about the puppet Liao army, but it must be the latest news about the Liao army, not the news about the Liao army outside the Jingshi City. ”

He Tengxiao guessed that since it was the news that Song Yuren had just gotten, and it was bad news, it must be related to the Manshu Liao Army. And it must be bad news from the unexpected Manshu Liao army in Jingshi City.

Could it be that this time the Liao army entered the customs this time, not only all the way to Jingshi City, but also another Liao army? He Tengxiao guessed.

Song Yuren was a little surprised when he saw that He Tengxiao was a little to the point, so he pretended to be calm and said, "Go on." (To be continued.) )
