On Bianjing West Street shrouded in the warm afternoon sun, there were crowds of people, crowds of people, tens of thousands of people cheered and shouted frantically towards the middle of the road, the elderly, children, men, women, there was no age and gender gap, all of them shouted Zhao Lei's name with pride and joy.

In the middle of the West Street, the elite of the five hundred Shenwu Forbidden Army held golden armor and weapons, solemnly and majestically lined up in a neat procession, taking neat steps, and slowly marching towards the south.

In the middle of the forbidden army team, Zhao Lei, who had changed into a gorgeous court uniform, rode on the snow-white war horse with a solemn face, looked around and waved his hand from time to time to greet the people of the Quartet, and at the end of the team, hundreds of court officials were the eight important ministers of the imperial court, and they followed in a happy line.

Zhao Lei, who returned triumphantly, under the escort of hundreds of officials of the imperial court and five hundred forbidden troops, will be welcomed by the people of Bianjing around half of the city tour of Bianjing, this grand scene has not appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty for decades, the last time there was a grand occasion of triumphant tour of the city, it was Zhenzong to conclude the "Tanyuan Alliance", bringing Song-Liao peace to the Great Song Dynasty, many old people in Bianjing could not help but compare Zhao Lei's exploits with the first emperor Zhenzong, which shows that Zhao Lei's status in the hearts of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, has reached what extent.

Although Zhao Lei on the war horse showed a knowing smile on his face from time to time, he was secretly complaining in his heart, his itinerary today started from Wanshengmen West Street, from Quyuan Street to Zhuquemen Street, then to South Gate Street, East Street, and finally to Yu Street, after meeting the official Zhao Zhen in front of Xuande Building, it was considered to be the end of this triumphant parade.

It's glorious, though. But with Zhao Lei's current speed is not much faster than a snail, these more than 20 miles down, it is estimated that it will be dark, Zhao Lei was originally from the south all the way back to Bianjing, he is sleepy and tired, and his rest these days is not good. Now that such a thing is stalled again, Zhao Lei, who is sitting on the war horse, has begun to shake and fall asleep.

Zhao Lei lifted his spirits, tried to squeeze a smile on his face, and waved his hand to signal the onlookers, but he was already thinking in his heart whether Xiao Ruoruo and Yang Jinhua had returned to Zhao's mansion.

……

Ten points in the night, the royal street in front of the Xuande Building is clear, the royal street that is usually sparsely populated, at this time the sea of people is like a tide, and the Xuande Building is on the wide square in front of the hundred zhang. Zhao Lei respectfully led the civil and military officials of the imperial court behind him to kneel down and worship heaven and earth, and deducted the grace of heaven, while the official Zhao Zhen stood excitedly on the Xuande Tower under the protection of many forbidden troops, looking at Zhao Lei, the hero who brought him and the Great Song Dynasty, and the generals of the new army Fan Zhongyan, Yang Zun, Shi Yuanchun, Gao Zunping, Han Qi and other generals.

Fan Zhongyan and other generals of the new army joined the tour team halfway. In addition to Fan Zhongyan and other senior generals of the new army, there are more than 300 soldiers who have made great contributions in the attack on Mayi will also follow Zhao Lei to receive another reward from the official Zhao Zhen in front of the Xuande Building.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said! Zhao Lei, the prince and the prince, the commander of the new army, the commander of the navy, the scholar of Longtuge, the marquis of the founding county, and the general of Dingbo, pacified the Luzon Road, and worked hard...... "The inner servant Gan Ling was instructed by the official Zhao Zhen. He began to pick up the decree in his hand and read it aloud at length.

Zhao Lei was shocked when he heard the various official positions on his head in the holy decree. The official position in the Northern Song Dynasty is simply too perverted in Zhao Lei's opinion, then Zhao Lei, he is a small third-grade official, and he has not yet climbed to the rank of the eight important ministers, and there are already six official titles hanging over his head, the prince and the Longtuge university scholar are fictitious, and the glory can only bring a few hundred taels of silver per month, and the Marquis of the founding county is the title, and the general Dingbo is the title, these two can only be exchanged for some Yulu. Only the commander of the new army and the commander of the navy are Zhao Lei's real shortcomings, but now the actual controller of the new army is Fan Zhongyan, and the navy far away in Guangzhou has also been handed over to the original commander of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army sent by the official Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Lei listened to Gan Ling's tirade in a drowsy manner, and finally didn't understand what official position Zhao Zhen gave him, so he was pulled up by the excited new army generals around him, and hugged him through Xuande Building into the palace, followed by a larger celebration banquet, and poor Zhao Lei, in the case of mental malaise, was pulled by a group of court officials and poured a stomach of low-alcohol liquor, and soon fell completely drunk in the palace.

……

When Zhao Lei was awakened by hunger and woke up refreshed, it was already another beautiful night, and when he woke up, he looked at the unfamiliar environment around him in confusion, and realized that he was drunk on the palace feast last night, and now he is in the place, it must be the living hall where the official Zhao Zhen entertained officials in the palace.

"Someone!" Looking at the empty and luxurious bedroom, Zhao Lei looked around and didn't find his clothes, so he could only shout loudly.

As Zhao Lei's voice sounded, a hurried pace came to his ears from outside the bedroom, and a petite fourteen or fifteen-year-old little palace maid with crescent-like eyes hurriedly walked into the bedroom, saw Zhao Lei who got up, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said: "Slave Yue'er has seen Lord Zhao!" ”

Zhao Lei looked at the palace maid named Yue'er in front of him and nodded slightly, and then saw several palace maids walking into the bedroom, with Zhao Lei's various clothes on the gold plate in their hands.

"How long has the official been asleep, and what time is it now?" Zhao Lei stood in the bedroom casually, letting the palace maids help him put on cumbersome official uniforms, and asked in a deep voice to Yue'er, the palace maid who came first.

"Returning to your lordship! The official family and several other adults have just had dinner, and now they are discussing in the Zichen Palace, and the adults have been sleeping for more than eight hours. The palace maid Yue'er replied respectfully to him while helping Zhao Lei wear the cumbersome official uniform.

Eight hours, the next night, it seems that these days are too tired, I didn't expect to sleep for more than ten hours, yesterday was groggy, should miss a lot of fun scenes! Zhao Lei heard the words of the palace maid Yue'er, and thought of it with a wry smile in his heart.

"The official commanded to come down. If the adults wake up, they will go to the Zichen Hall immediately, and there are several other adults in the official family who are waiting for Lord Zhao there! After the palace maid Yue'er helped Zhao Lei get dressed, she said to him respectfully.

So urgent! What's the matter? When Zhao Lei heard the words of the palace maid Yue'er, he was slightly stunned and thought of it in his heart.

……

The majesty of the Zichen Hall is still the same, and the huge palace candles above the main hall at night flicker with a faint firelight. Illuminating the originally gloomy huge palace, Zhao Zhen, a twenty-seven-year-old official of the Great Song Dynasty, has a majestic short beard, and his handsome face is no longer the youth of the Heavenly Sainthood, and Zhao Zhen, who has been officially in power for eight years, has completely adapted to the role of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, although his character is still weak and his temper is still pure, but the eight-year career as a superior has made him exercise his joy and anger, and he is now a qualified Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

His Royal Highness Zichen. King Meng Zhao Yuanyan sat in front of the eight important ministers, the current Zhao Yuanyan is no longer the chic and romantic of the previous years, he was fifty years old after a serious illness at the beginning of this year, his body collapsed all of a sudden, and now he has to pant for breath even if he does some strenuous exercise. Standing for a long time will be dizzy, under the care of the official Zhao Zhen, King Meng Zhao Yuanyan became the third prince of the Great Song Dynasty to be given a long-term throne by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty in the Zichen Palace.

Behind Zhao Yuanyan, the two prime ministers of the Great Song Dynasty lined up on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, and Wang Zeng, the oldest old prime minister in the hall, also had a very bad face. The Wang Zengmai case filed by the Tai Hospital showed that Wang Zeng had hidden diseases several times, but he couldn't find out what the hidden diseases were, so he could only watch Wang Zeng lose weight day by day. The old and thin Wang Zeng has now reached the time when the oil is exhausted, and everyone in the palace knows that Wang Zeng's time is short, but no one dares to mention this kind of thing, even the official Zhao Zhen also concealed Wang Zeng, an old prime minister who had worked hard for the Great Song Dynasty for decades, and silently waited for the day when Wang Zeng left the land.

Zhang Shixun, who was just in his early fifties, secretly looked at the aged Wang Zeng opposite him with pity, this official Zhao Zhen followed Zhao Zhen's close ministers when he was the prince, and he was already the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, he watched the official Zhao Zhen change from an innocent child to the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. Then he controlled the power of the Great Song Dynasty step by step, and he also clearly saw the changes of the official Zhao Zhen over the years, and Zhang Shixun sighed at the same time as the official Zhao Zhen was now majestic and profound, but he was also deeply afraid in his heart.

Of the three most powerful ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, two of them are terminally ill, and I am afraid that they are not far from returning to the west, and behind the three of them, Li Ruogu, the governor of the government in his sixties, is in good spirits and is old and strong, and Yan Shu, another governor who is only forty years old, stands side by side.

This pair of old and Chinese combinations can be described as the elite of the Great Song Dynasty, one is an evergreen officialdom who has experienced decades of officialdom waves, and the other is a close minister of the official family who became famous at a young age and is known as the first prodigy of the Great Song Dynasty, one is scheming and calculating, the other is shrewd and capable, and is one of the officials that the official Zhao Zhen relies on most in the imperial court.

Behind the two governors, there is Ye Qingchen, the third envoy in his early forties, with a heavy face, the official Zhao Zhen's most valued financial officer of the Great Song Dynasty, has been having a headache recently, Zhao Lei's return made Ye Qingchen extra careful, you must know that in the more than a year that Zhao Lei left, he tried his best to pull out tens of millions of taels of silver from the logistics yamen of the new army, these silver are Zhao Lei's lifeblood, and now Zhao Lei has returned to Bianjing triumphantly, Ye Qingchen is already thinking about how to deal with Zhao Lei's anger.

Ye Qingchen's side, the seventy-year-old privy envoy Chen Yaozuo and the thirty-eight-year-old privy deputy envoy Chen Xiliang were also having a headache about Zhao Lei's triumphant return to Beijing.

And Chen Yaozuo and Chen Xiliang knew how precious Zhao Lei was to those weapons, and they also knew that those weapons might fall into the hands of Western Xia and Liao when they flowed out of the new army, but as the chief and deputy envoys of the Privy Council, they thought that they should consider the millions of troops of the Great Song Dynasty, and the new weapons should be divided and used on the battlefield in order to play the greatest role.

However, after dividing those weapons, they knew that sooner or later they would have to face Zhao Lei's questioning, and now that Zhao Lei had finally returned to Bianjing, of course they had to rack their brains to find a way to deal with the questioning they were about to face.
