The crown prince Zhao Shu thought about his own smug plan, and waited for the king to come back and praise him well, he wanted to put the king high and fall again.
At this time, the king had already set out on his return journey, when he was followed by two mighty guards; The Western Xia officers and soldiers who escorted the Western Xia tribute, as well as the first batch of horses organized by the Western Xia to send to the Song State, crossed the Hengshan Mountain where the Song and Xia were handed over, and the king breathed a real sigh of relief.
Wang next to the mountain to see that the opposite side has lined up a team of people and horses, to receive the horse supplies of the general has arrived here, the front of the word "species" of the big banner waving in the wind, so that Wang next to the heart of the inexplicable cordial, he let Zhi Kejun lead the team to wait, he urged the horse forward,
The two of them have already seen the king, and the horses came to greet them, the two of them made a mistake in the stirrups to hold the horses, and saluted each other, the two of them had already admired the king, and the two of them and the Liao envoy tried to shoot together, and they were also in the royal street to praise the street, so far it has been two years apart, the king in front of him has been completely rid of the childishness of the youth, a little more mature and steady, and a vermilion robe is more heroic and proud,
Chong Ge looked at the king and said loudly: "Haha, Wang Shilang returned triumphantly from Xixia this time, there are many hardships along the way, the prefect of Yanzhou has already set up a reception banquet, and here it will be handed over to Chong Mou (note)" His voice was high-pitched and loud, resounding through the valley,
Wang next to see the seed this time is not at all like two years ago on the school military field, the general who seems to have not woken up, half-squinted eyes can hit a hundred shots, his eyes are shining, as if he has just won a big battle, Wang next to smile and thank the seed of the seed, with the fold Kejun Zhang Ping to Yanzhou,
They walked more than ten miles to the city of Yanzhou, and they saw crowds outside the city gate from afar, and there seemed to be many people waiting outside the city.
The three of them got closer, and saw clearly that it was a kind of Yi who took the officials in the city out of the city to greet them, and the hearts of the three of them were even happier, and the officials personally led the team to greet them at the gate of the city, this was the first time in Wang Fang's life that he was the protagonist, his mood was like walking on the red carpet of the Oscars, and he couldn't help but hold his head high and smile, come on, salute me like me,
The team that the king brought with him, just entered the city, the king was startled by the scene in front of him, Yanzhou City was full of people, men and women, old and young, rushed to the king, this is not a pre-arranged arrangement, even the seed instrument is a little inexplicable,
Chong Yi wanted to order the officers and soldiers to disperse the crowd, but Wang Bi was not too happy, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly said to Chong Yi: "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way." Before he could finish his sentence, he was surrounded by a crowd.
"Wang Shilang, it's good." Some people in the crowd shouted, and the king was surrounded by people, watching these people cheer, listening to the greetings, and some couldn't wait to ask the king: When will this field be built, and when will it be able to trade?
The people who couldn't make it up also laughed and said to each other on the side of the street, "It would be nice to be able to trade." "yes, everybody has money to make."
"If you don't have money, you don't have to worry about war."
Wang Bi suddenly felt how much the people of Yanzhou longed for peace, and this feeling slowly replaced the glory that had been cheered just now.
made him feel inexplicably moved, he couldn't imagine that he was once such an ordinary person, going back hundreds of years ago, doing a little thing, but making the people safe,
Recalling that in his previous life, he was just a poor person, Wang looked at the faces in front of him who longed for comfort and worshiped himself, and was a little excited, he waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and he generously said: "Thank you for your love, whether it is my Great Song Dynasty or Western Xia, the people only hope for peace and prosperity in this life. ”
The crowd gradually quieted down, and listened to the king continue: "Historically, the world has been divided for a long time, and it is inevitable that the soldiers will meet each other, the mountains and rivers will be washed in blood, the living beings will be ruined, the king will achieve hegemony, and the soldiers will be bloody in the field, all for the peace of the unification of the world, for the prosperity of the dynasty for several generations, and the blessing of all beings in the world; Wang is willing to use what he has learned in his past life and this life to devote himself to the wish of making the country rich and the people strong. ”
He said that he took out the document of Song and Xia trade from his bosom, held it high and said: "If this document can allow people in the world to live and work in peace and contentment, my Wang is willing to go to the north and south of the river to establish the connection between various countries and my Song country, so that everyone everywhere will be rich and safe." ”
Before his words landed, the crowd erupted in thunderous cheers and applause, and even the officials led by Chongyi, who were blocked by the people, were all moved, and everyone praised the courage of the king, and even Chongyi was relieved to have a deep friendship with the king.
Surrounded by the crowd, Wang finally came to the prefect's yamen, and the ministers in the yamen also greeted him.
Chongyi set up a reception banquet next to the king in the prefect's mansion, and that night Chongyi, Chongyi, and Xue Xiangjun came to the banquet, and even officials from nearby states and counties came to join in the fun, and Zhang Zai also brought Chong Jianzhong.
Chong Yi asked Wang Pan about this trip, Wang Fang smiled What is there to say, he didn't go to see the war, so he took it with him and waited for news in Xingqing Mansion, as for the installation of Wu Su, he couldn't mention it to anyone,
Chong Yi is the elder brother of Chongyi, but the two are completely different, Chong Yi is a literati Siwen; The cultivator was the rudeness of the warriors, and he drank the wine and said: "You are not in the imperial court, that person has not seen it, and when he learned that Wang Shilang successfully did this, the emperor was happy, and it was rare to see the emperor laughing." ”
Xue Xiang has been doing things more and more smoothly recently, and he said proudly: "That is, in the past few years, Guang has signed so many covenants with Western Xia and Liao, and he has sent money to others every year. ”
The king laughed when he heard this, and he was very proud of what he did, fortunately this is the Song Dynasty, if he can't prepare himself in the Three Kingdoms, he will be Zhuge Kongming,
They laughed and laughed at this table, and on the other table of banquets, Zhang Ping and Zhe Kejun were also set up to celebrate their achievements by planting instruments, those people were all old departments that had been planted, a group of rough and bold soldiers, Zhang Ping was happy this time He smiled and said: "You didn't see Wang Shilang like a god, just say that Li Liangzuo returned to Xingqing Mansion, we looked at it on the tower, oops, when the troops went, they were sparse when they came back." ”
Someone said to the two: "Now you two are fine, follow Wang Shilang to the limelight." ”
Zhang Ping felt that what Chong Yi said was right, and it didn't seem so right, he smiled helplessly and said: "It's going well with Wang Shilang, but our knife is about to rust." ”
Zhi Kejun glared at him: "You see that the people of Yanzhou are happy, but you are still afraid that the world will not be chaotic." ”
Zhang Ping waved his hand hurriedly, he didn't have to fight, but he always felt that he was holding back his strength and wanted to follow the king to do bigger things, he smiled: "If we all do things like Wang Shilang, we really can't stand it, and the world will be peaceful in our lifetime." The crowd laughed,
At the reception banquet, the king resigned to Xiang Chongyi and Xue Xiang and others, he had to go on the road in advance, so that he had time to go to Jinxiang Mansion to have a look.
Wang Pan returned to Jinxiang Mansion this time, just in time for Yu Danian's big day, Jiao Deyou, Yin Shijie and others gathered together to celebrate Yu Danian's marriage, and also to celebrate Wang Danian's trip to Xixia, Wang Pan saw Yu Danian stupidly and smiled, the house and real estate have been purchased in the past two or three years, and he also married the sister-in-law of the boat king, and went around in circles to get close to himself.
Thinking about it this way, the king misses the moon even more, and the trip has been gone for more than half a year, and it is even more pity to think of the thoughts in the room alone every day under the moon, so he is more and more like an arrow.
Stay in Jinxiang Mansion for a while, Wang next to the boat back to Bianjing, along the way with a lot of emotion, this go to Xixia when the leaves on both sides of the river are green, come back in front of a golden yellow, this is a harvest season, Wang next is also full of returns, not only the Xixia tribute and the establishment of discussions, but also the worship of the border people,
Wang Fang returned to the house, and immediately ordered someone to go to Chenzhou to pick up the moon, and there were full-time people to do the things that were done in the border field, and there were also several apprentices of He Xingyuan Zhang Luo on the Xixia side, and it was not possible to do it in three or five days, so Wang Pan was ready to stay in the capital for a few more days, and accompany the moon more.
Wang next to the palace to reinstate, Renzong happy reward does not need to be detailed, now there is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the king is very busy, busy to meet Bao Zheng, Wang Anshi, but also busy with the Beijing officials and businessmen back and forth; Busy with friends and partners to celebrate; but also to take care of various businesses,
The Mid-Autumn Festival is followed by the official holiday, this time just allows him to deal with the things at hand, and at the same time, he can get along comfortably with the moon, so that the king can rest assured, the people around him are doing things more and more smoothly, no need for him to worry more, everyone arranges the things at hand properly, even Cai Jing's kid, helping Lu Shenyan take care of the tea field is also in order,
Just when the king was busy, there was another person in the capital who was as busy as him, and the crown prince Zhao Shu was busy convening the ministers to discuss the matter; Busy watching every move in the palace; busy inquiring about the movements of the Liao State; is even more busy discussing with his henchmen: how to let the king go to the Liao Kingdom and not come back,
What made Zhao Shu particularly happy was that he got a secret letter from the secret agent he sent from the Liao State, looking at the secret letter, his brows stretched slightly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, in addition to reporting the situation of the Liao court as before, and the progress of Yelu Chongyuan's recruitment of troops, this letter also told Zhao Shu a message,
This news is undoubtedly a favorable blow to Wang Pan, that is, Yelu Chongyuan has a general under him, named Wanyan Impeacher, and his younger brother is a profitable cadre next to Wang Bi, alias Wanyan He Libo,
