Yuan Hao, who returned to the harem of the palace, immediately called Shanyu, who lived in Xingqing Mansion, another younger brother. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info/. qb5、//
"Sue your brother for rebellion! As long as this king executes Shanyu, Shanyu's official title will be yours! If you don't follow, then the king of the clan will not let go! Yuan Hao waited until after Wei Xu, looked at the forty loyal Wei Xu, and said directly to the point.
Hearing Yuan Hao's words, Wei Xu was taken aback, he pondered for a moment, feeling that with the strength of one of their tribes, they were definitely not Yuan Hao's opponents, and now the various tribes of the party were suppressed by Yuan Hao without strength, and they couldn't find reinforcements.
For the sake of the family, Wei Xu nodded silently, staggered out of the palace, held Yuan Hao's arrow and secretly took over the army under Shan Yu's command, and finally told Shan Yu the truth about Yuan Hao's words.
Desperate and unwilling to be restrained by the mountain, thinking of Sophia, who fled from Xingqing Mansion to Bianjing, took his wife and children overnight, took his clansmen and his name of jewelry, war horses, and galloped all the way to the Great Song Dynasty.
……
In front of the Wansheng Gate in Bianjing West City, Song Suibai, the city gate guard, was bored with a few guards and watched the swarming pedestrians coming and going.
On the wide official road east of Wansheng Gate, a group of dozens of people, spurring horses, galloped in the wind and dust.
After guarding the city gate at Wansheng Gate for more than 20 years, Song Sui, who was accustomed to joy and sorrow, looked at Zhao Lei and others who came from the east with a numb face.
"There you go! Block them. What kind of person is so arrogant, he still doesn't get off the horse when he arrives at the city gate! Song Sui casually pushed a pawn next to him to the middle of the side door of Wansheng Gate, blocking the way for people to come.
The pawn is also accustomed to seeing this kind of turmoil, every day there are always some fools who think they are noble and try to leap over the city gate, you must know that Bianjing Wansheng Gate is one of the eight city gates of Bianjing, if the Bianjing Palace is the bedroom of the official Zhao Zhendi. The Wansheng Gate is equal to the main gate of the official Zhao Zhen's residence, all the people who leap into the city gate are disrespectful to the official family, no matter how big your official position is, it is estimated that you will not be able to withstand the mouth of the Taiwan official, so the pawn stood in the middle of the side door without any surprise, looked at the people coming in and out on both sides, and turned his head to the more than 30 people who came to the horse and shouted: "Come and report it!" ”
Brush! More than 30 horsemen neatly stopped their advance in front of the middle gate of Wansheng Gate, and the cavalry in front slowly separated, one man, two women, and three in their twenties. A young man in a strong robe, riding out of the cavalry crowd, one person is currently one meter eight five tall, with a square face and a wide forehead, and sharp eyes. The figure is mighty, it is Zhao Lei and Zhao Sanjue who rushed back to Bianjing from the far south, and Zhao Lei's side is petite and exquisite, and his appearance is innocent and cute. The woman in the light green women's robe was none other than Yang Jinhua, a female general from Tianbo Yang Mansion, and the other was tall and plump. Wearing a blue robe, the heroine with a calm and resolute face is Xiao Ruoruo, the concubine of Zhao Lei, who was born as a horse thief in Hebei.
Brush! Zhao Lei, who spurred the horse all the way to hurry, looked at the familiar Wanshengmen with a tired face, and saw Song Sui, who was responsible for combing the traffic next to the side of Wanshengmen, and didn't say much, and casually threw the golden approval arrow given by the official Zhao Zhen to Song Sui's side, and said to Song Sui in a low voice: "Open the middle door!" This official Zhao Lei! ”
Zhao Lei's words directly made Song Sui excitedly pick up the golden approval arrow on the ground, and after an excited face, he trotted towards the Wanshengmen gatehouse with a happy face.
Regulations of the Great Song Dynasty. The victorious generals must pass through the Wansheng Gate, and after handing over the golden approval arrow indicating their identity, the Wansheng Gate will open the door to welcome the triumphant generals, and the Wanshengmen guards will notify the court officials, and the imperial court will send corresponding officials to meet the triumphant generals according to the results and status of the generals.
Just when Zhao Lei turned over and dismounted, ready to enter Bianjing through the middle gate of Wanshengmen at any time, the gatekeeper of Wanshengmen, Cao Qiushi, a middle-aged general in his forties who was born in the Cao family of Bianjing, walked out of Wanshengmen with a smile in a military robe, and when he saw Zhao Lei standing with a horse, he immediately greeted him and bowed cordially and said: "Wanshengmen guard Cao Qiushi has seen Lord Zhao!" ”
Zhao Lei, who was holding the war horse, saw that Cao Qiushi, the general of the garrison of Wanshengmen, personally greeted him at the gate of the city, turned his head to look at Xiao Ruoruo and Yang Jinhua behind him, and knew that the possibility of wanting to go home early today was almost equal to zero, Cao Qiushi came to greet him in person, indicating that the imperial court had already set the rules for welcoming Zhao Lei, presumably now the news of Zhao Lei's return to Beijing has reached the Ministry of Rites, according to Zhao Lei's merits in the South China Sea, it is not impossible for the official family to greet him in person, that is, whether or not to go home tomorrow is a question.
"Lord Cao! I don't know how the Ministry of Rites arranges for the lower officials to enter the city? Zhao Lei sighed in his heart, and asked Cao Qiushi in a deep voice.
"Lord Zhao should know that no one has achieved such a featit in the Great Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, and the battle report of Lord Zhao came from the South China Sea that day, and the Great Song Dynasty is boiling all over the country! Not to mention the imperial court newspaper, it is the newspaper yamen managed by Lord Ouyang, under the instruction of the imperial court, the results of the South China Sea are being trumpeted, and now the entire people of Bianjing are looking forward to the return of the adult to Beijing, and they all want to see the demeanor of the adult, so the imperial court in order to cater to the public opinion, decided to after the adult returned to Beijing, after a parade around the inner city, a banquet was held in the palace Daqing Hall to celebrate the adult, really congratulations to the adult, the Daqing Hall has not been used for more than ten years except when the official family ascended the throne, and now it is reopened again, which shows the trust of the official family to the adult! Cao Qiushi looked at Zhao Lei with a smile and explained carefully. Said.
Hearing Cao Qiushi's explanation, Zhao Lei continued to smile bitterly in his heart, he knew that Cao Qiushi only said part of the celebration after the triumph, and the sacrifice of heaven and earth and the temple after the great victory, these things that the official Zhao Zhen had to do, the civil and military officials of the imperial court also had to participate, there was no time for ten days and eight days, and the huge celebration would not end at all, but Zhao Lei was not the protagonist of these things, so there was no need to worry about not being able to go home.
……
Zhao Lei's return caused a huge turmoil in Bianjing. In a short period of time, through the heartfelt propaganda of the court officials, the news of Zhao Lei's triumphant return to Beijing spread to every corner of Bianjing like a wave. Get ready to catch a glimpse of Zhao Lei.
After the news of Zhao Lei's return to Beijing reached the officialdom, under the leadership of Prime Minister Zhang Shixun, more than 100 officials of the imperial court above the fifth grade all put down their work at hand and followed Zhang Shixun, Zhao Yuanyan, Wang Zeng and other eight important ministers of the imperial court to Wanshengmen to greet Zhao Lei.
At the Wansheng Gate in Bianjing, Zhao Lei had been welcomed to the city gate barracks by Cao Qiushi, and met his friend Ouyang Xiu, who was the first to come to greet him.
"Don't come unharmed! Brother Sanshi! Expand the territory and return triumphantly, congratulations! Ouyang Xiu got the news of Zhao Lei's return to Beijing. The first one put down the work at hand and hurried to Wanshengmen, and after seeing Zhao Lei in the barracks of the city gate, he was overjoyed and patted Zhao Lei's shoulder hard, and said with a smile.
Zhao Lei looked at Ouyang Xiu, who was still thin and dashing, and replied with a happy smile: "Uncle Yong is also rich." It seems that it is very comfortable to spend time in Beijing! ”
"Don't mention it, it's all the trouble caused by those advertisements, for my brother to receive countless banquets from wealthy businessmen from all over the world every day, just to advertise in the Bianjing News in the future, those are all big names with hands and eyes to accompany them, all for brothers, colleagues and friends, if you don't go, you can't do it! Chickens, ducks and fish are eaten every day, and it is strange that they are not rich! However, Brother Sanshi's demeanor is the same as before. More than a year of wind and rain has not changed, young is good! Ouyang Xiu looked at Zhao Lei, who had not changed at all, and said jokingly with emotion.
"By the way, I haven't heard about Bianjing for a long time, so it's good that the new army still has a logistics yamen?" After Zhao Lei and Ouyang Xiu exchanged pleasantries, they began to ask the questions they were most concerned about.
Hearing Zhao Leidi's question, Ouyang Xiu's face sank, and he shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "The new army is okay, after Lord Fan returns victoriously." The new army has received a lot of rewards from the official family, most of the officers and soldiers have been promoted, and Lord Fan has also risen, and now he has also served as the judge of the Privy Council, and after Brother Sanshi came back to take over the new army, it is estimated that Lord Fan will be the next privy deputy envoy. ”
Hearing that there were words in Ouyang Xiu's words, Zhao Lei's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly continued to ask: "What about the logistics yamen of the new army?" ”
"The logistics yamen of the new army! Hum! I remember Sanshi, you said that many of the materials of the New Army's logistics yamen are the most confidential materials, that is, the attack on Ma Yi brought not much trial effect, but after Lord Fan returned to Bianjing, he wrote the effect of those materials as an excerpt and reported it to the official's house, and the Privy Council Chen Yaozuo Chen divided all the military materials of the New Army's logistics yamen, and distributed them to the six major chamber armies in Bianjing and the border armies in various places. And Lord Fan is even more supportive of this approach, thinking that hoarding is better than using, and the power of those things can be shown on the battlefield, and it is not blocked at all. Ouyang Xiu snorted angrily, and complained to Zhao Lei very dissatisfied with Fan Zhongyan.
Rumble! Ouyang Xiu's words were like a bolt from the blue, confusing Zhao Leizhen's mind!
The rocket cars, grenades, mines and artillery and other strategic materials of the military logistics yamen were divided up by the Great Song army, how is this possible, you must know that gunpowder in this era is not a secret weapon, Western Xia and Liao can have gunpowder, although it can not be as abundant as the Great Song Dynasty, but small-scale imitation is not a difficult thing, especially the territory is more than the Great Song Dynasty Liao State, once they get the correct formula of gunpowder, and then get grenades, mines, rocket cars and artillery and other physical objects that have not been destroyed, I'm afraid that they will be able to imitate it in a year at most, and then the Great Song Dynasty, which has lost its advantage in advanced gunpowder weapons, will use it to confront the rising Western Xia and the even larger Liao State! Zhao Lei immediately thought of it with anxiety in his heart.
"How can Brother Xiwen be so rash! You must know that those things are related to the fortunes of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are so easy to divide into places, aren't they afraid that the secrets of these weapons will leak out! Zhao Lei didn't understand Fan Zhongyan's motives for doing this, and said excitedly to Ouyang Xiu.
"The privy envoy Chen Yaozuo united the military generals to the official's house, and the disadvantages of putting those things in the treasury are still the benefits of the Quartet Army, when the official family hesitated, Lord Fan was moved by Chen Yaozuo's words, and also asked for those weapons, and the official family agreed after thinking about it again and again, although the brother and the teacher and several other adults of the New Army Logistics Yamen insisted on opposing it, but the person was alone, and he couldn't dispel the idea of the official family at all, and the matter was born like this." Ouyang Xiu said to Zhao Lei helplessly, he also understood the disadvantages of those weapons appearing in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia and Liao had countless spies in the Great Song Dynasty, it was not difficult to get some new weapons, once those things flowed out of the logistics yamen of the new army, it was only a matter of time before they were obtained by Western Xia and Liao.
Why did Fan Zhongyan do this! Zhao Lei looked at the roof of the Wanshengmen barracks with a confused expression, and thought in doubt.
At this moment, the sound of festive gongs and drums came from outside the barracks, and the Bianjing court was finally ready to welcome Zhao Lei, a hero who had made great contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, and the huge triumphal celebration was finally about to begin.
