Outside the Chaoyang Gate, Li Dongyang wore court clothes and took several officials of the Ministry of Rites out of the sedan chair, and walked several miles outside the city before stopping at the post pavilion, and then Li Dongyang got out of the sedan chair, and the rest of the officials naturally hurried out of the sedan chair when they saw this. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Early this morning, there was news that Lian Guogong had arrived in Beitongzhou and would be able to arrive in Beijing this morning.

This is not only to show the court's attitude towards Liu Chengfeng, no matter what, no matter how unaccustomed this Liu Chengfeng is, but after all, he is still a meritorious man, this time the rebellion is a great contribution, and the court still has to do at least the superficial effort.

And since then, the cabinet and Liu Chengfeng will not have any big conflict for the time being, so it is not bad to take the opportunity to mend the relationship now, people are dignified and upright royal relatives, even if they are far away in the future, but they can still have some influence, and it is not a bad thing to maintain this situation of fighting but not breaking.

Of course, Li Dongyang's real wishful thinking is not only these, he came out this time, and he used the etiquette of the vassal king to entertain, that is to say, the Ministry of Rites has regarded Liu Chengfeng as the vassal king, since it is the vassal king who entered Beijing, logically speaking, the Ministry of Rites really can't look at it coldly, this is also a reminder to Liu Chengfeng, this time the will of the court has been issued, and there is no room for maneuver, and now everyone has acquiesced to this matter, so Liu Chengfeng still accepts it honestly, don't have any illusions.

In this post pavilion, Li Dongyang was silent, his eyes looked at the gallop outside the pavilion from afar, the carriages and horses here are like dragons, the more daylight the more lively, and even a few tea sheds nearby shouting and selling, their business is actually good, those passing carriages and horses sometimes hungry or feel dry tongue, will come down to eat a cup of hot tea, eat a few snacks.

It is said that now the Chi Road is being built in various places, and there are more and more tea stalls that are close to the dense passing of cars and horses, and there are more than 10,000 people who make a living by setting up tea stalls, Li Dongyang usually only sees some things in this regard in the Di Bao, and now he sees it with his own eyes, and he can't help but feel a little emotional, although Liu Chengfeng is not very good, and the attitude of the DPRK and China towards the construction of Chi Road is also very different, many officials think that the construction of Chi Road is a waste of people's fat and people's ointment, and it will only cheapen the merchants, and it is better to build a school with this money.

There are a lot of people who hold this point of view, no matter what, the Qing Dynasty is controlled by scholars, and there will be people who will be scolded for building river embankments, and people will be scolded for appropriating military salaries, and there will be people scolding for building roads or dredging rivers, and there are all kinds of reasons for scolding, but the school is different, no matter who it is, at least who dares to say a word to the school if it is a scholar? So, many people scolded other expenses at the same time, it is inevitable to take the school, a Chi Road can build how many schools, pinch your fingers, but also feel that you have discovered the new world, the original Chi Road is so expensive, can build so many schools, so immediately dim, feel that the moon is dim, inevitably have to beat the chest and fall feet, to hammer their chest and say a few words in the long run, the country will not be a country, the dynasty is now chaotic politics, I think it was Meng Yuan back then, but also knew to let people read, and never built Chi Road, Even the Tartars know that etiquette is important and skills are light, and now it seems that the dynasty is really inferior to Meng Yuan.

How can these nonsense remarks not affect the cabinet by half a point? However, as a cabinet bachelor, Li Dongyang can hear this kind of remarks, although he feels that some of the words are a little terrifying, but then again, now I see the scene of the endless flow on the galloping road, although the galloping road costs a lot, but it is still worth it.

Li Dongyang immediately called a small official and ordered: "Go, buy tea and pastries." ”

The little official was stunned for a moment, obviously stunned, the tea on this small tea stall was also extremely inferior, he didn't expect the elder to taste it, he hesitated, Li Dongyang threw a stern look at him, and the little official went obediently.

At this time, several gorgeous carriages on the gallop also stopped at the side of the post pavilion, these carriages are obviously expensive, from the pattern and design of the carriage, it can be seen that this is the most popular and most luxurious style of the carriage and horse workshop this year, Li Dongyang heard that there is now a pair of carriages and horses that cost more than 500 taels of silver, on this appalling number there are still people flocking to it, now when I see this carriage, I immediately feel fresh.

But what's fresher is the people in the carriage, the average person is either out of the city, or into the city, the people who enter the city see the Chaoyang Gate in the distance, naturally they will not deliberately rest here, and the people who go out of the city are in good spirits at this time, there are still many ways to rush, naturally they will not fall off the horse here in the post pavilion, plus the appearance of Li Dongyang, accompanied by many officials, not to mention hundreds of soaps, these people have already guarded the pavilion, and even the officials of the nearby post stations have come to accompany them, even if someone wants to take a break here, That will also find a quiet place, after all, whether it is a business or an ordinary scholar, there will be some fear of officials.

But these carriages are not only gorgeous, but also although the servants who come are in civilian clothes, they are all brute and tiger-eyed, very vigorous, and people are not afraid of his official etiquette at all, so they directly pulled the carriage to the side here, and when the people in the carriage came out, Li Dongyang was slightly stunned.

It was Li Dongdong who came down, although Li Dongdong was now wearing a casual clothes, but now he has slowly developed a bit of Tao Hui and prestige, he stepped on a high stool and got out of the car, glanced at Li Dongyang, but did not step forward.

This pair of brothers is also funny, although they are their own masters, but after all, the relationship between the two is still there, and the relationship between the two is also very close in private, but when it comes to this, in front of many people, it is very unfamiliar.

In addition to Wen Zheng, there are also Chen Hongyu, Huo Zheng, and Zhang Shuyi, they obviously also heard the wind and came to greet Liu Chengfeng, and when everyone got off the carriage, Li Dongdong and a few people whispered a few words before they came over, and saluted Li Dongyang in a serious manner, saying: "It turns out that Li Gong is also here, and the lower officials are presumptuous, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

Li Dongyang sat down, looking at these people with a smile on his face, more than half of these people will stay in Beijing and become a stumbling block to the cabinet, but Li Dongyang is also half a prime minister, this bit of tolerance is still there, he looked at everyone with his beard and smiled: "What?" Are you here to wait for His Royal Highness the King of Chu? The old man happens to coincide with you, okay, don't be restrained, let's wait for His Royal Highness the King of Chu together. ”

Li Dongyang deliberately bit the four characters of His Royal Highness the King of Chu very hard, which was meaningful.

Li Dongdong smiled indifferently and said, "Yes." ”

After that, these people went to the other side, and it seemed that the two sides had nothing to do with each other, and they were all silent.

After a while, the other end of the gallop finally saw a team of mighty people and horses arrived, these people are enough to have hundreds of people, in addition to the gallop to the right is a few carriages, on the side of the gallop is not able to see the head of the horse team, in general, the gallop is allowed to pass the carriage, on both sides of the gallop, there will be some ordinary pedestrians, and the fast horse is to try to rely on the edge of the gallop road, this team is a lot of people, at a glance you can see that the identity of the horse team arch guard is not low, the carriage to the post pavilion side, there are small officials to pass, after a while, A group of knights stationed their horses near here, and the carriage that came from afar stopped here.

Liu Chengfeng got out of the carriage, glanced at the pavilion, although his face was a little tired of hurrying, but he still cheered up, and soon after, he was going to officially enter Beijing, and here, his treatment seemed to be quite good, and he was greeted by the cabinet scholars in person.

After getting out of the carriage, Li Dongyang had already brought a group of officials over, approached Liu Chengfeng with a smile, and said from a distance: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has come from afar, and it is really hard. ”

Liu Chengfeng looked at him with a smile and said busily: "My lord must have been waiting for a long time, and now I am relieved to see my lord here." ”

Liu Chengfeng is called borrowing a slope to get off the donkey, he knows better than anyone else that the instigators behind his own kingship are Li Dongyang and these people, since people are so eager to be crowned king, they call him lonely to disgust him.

Liu Chengfeng called himself the lonely king, but Li Dongyang was stunned, he couldn't imagine that this guy was on the road like this, and the will he made last night was so smooth today.

Li Dongyang just smiled and said, "Why did Your Highness say this? Speaking to Liu Chengfeng in the tone of a courtier to the vassal king, although Li Dongyang tried his best to show normality, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Liu Chengfeng said: "Even Scholar Li has nothing to do and came to this place to sit idle, then Jingshi must have nothing to do, since this is the case, it is naturally because it is too peaceful, so the lonely king is relieved." ”

Liu Chengfeng said his theory in a mess, which made Li Dongyang laugh dumbly, this guy clearly had the intention of squeezing himself, but he pretended not to hear anything, and exchanged a few words, Liu Chengfeng's eyes were finally on Li Dongdong and a few people, but there were outsiders present, Liu Chengfeng didn't say anything to them, just nodded at them, Li Dongdong and the others understood, and they just looked at Liu Chengfeng and smiled.

Liu Chengfeng said: "It's better to enter Beijing as soon as possible, I don't know what the emperor's condition is?" When I was in Jiangxi, I often smelled bad news, hey...... Gossip is less, and it is advisable to enter the palace for a pilgrimage. ”

Li Dongyang nodded, everyone got on the sedan chair, and everyone got on the car, the so-called greeting was actually a formality, and the face was done, and everyone was interested.
