The procession back to Beijing was much larger than when it came, not only the army accompanying it, but also more than a thousand carts, loaded with the property seized from the expedition and all kinds of books, antiques, jewelry, and books, of course, not only that, but here were the best, and then there was a long line of prisoners. On December 15th, the holy car crossed the boundary river and returned to Hebei, the emperor's personal expedition to obtain the great martial arts has already spread throughout the Great Song Dynasty, along the way the people to see the holy face of the road along the way, Zhao Ta has become the object of onlookers everywhere, offering delicacies. And the captives tasted the old fists and soles of the people.

Zhao Ta knew that if he continued like this, he would have to delay his trip, and he would not be able to return to the capital next year, so he changed the practice of stopping and resting every time he arrived at the post house, but under the escort of the guards, he traveled a hundred miles a day by car, that is, where to sleep, anyway, it was his own territory, and he had to take care of food everywhere. In this way, the holy car will be driven in the morning, and it will stop after dark, and the speed will be much faster.

On the 24th of December, the holy chariot was as unpredictable as a battle, and instead of crossing the Yellow River from Heyin from the nearest Huazhou, Li Gang led a parade of chauffeurs. When they found out that the emperor had crossed the river from Heyin, they hurried to Fengqiu to pick up the driver, but after waiting for a day, they got that the holy car had been transferred to the imperial tomb in Gongxian County to worship their ancestors, and the reason given was because the emperor thought that it would be too troublesome to go to Gongxian after returning to Beijing, so it was better to go back to Beijing by the way.

For such a major event as worshipping ancestors, the emperor was so 'rash', and gave a ridiculous reason, the ministers only smiled bitterly, and it was too late to rush over if they thought about it, but fortunately, according to the custom, the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette had already gone to Gongxian to fight the front station, and the emperor would not be blind if he went. Li Gang was helpless. He could only lead the team to Zhongmu to wait, and inform Jingzhong to rearrange. Fortunately, this time the emperor did not produce any more moths. Three days later, the emperor was met and the guard of honor was spread. Blowing and beating all the way, the emperor returned to Beijing in a beautiful manner.

On the way, some people said that the emperor's personal expedition not only recovered the Youyan area, but also entered the Dading Mansion, which is a place that the Song army has never set foot in, expanding the land for the country, and it is also the biggest victory in the foreign war since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, which is enough to comfort the ancestors and ancestors, and should boast in front of the emperors of the past dynasties. Those close to him know that the emperor left the palace when he was young and did not receive a good education. Although there are occasional masterpieces handed down, but the most annoying writing documents, generally in the hands of others, even if the review of the chapter is also a few words to say clearly, it is rare to write an article.

Now that the emperor has personally fulfilled the wishes of the previous emperors, and with the capital to boast, he will sing the praises and leave a memorial text for generations to come. But everyone counted for a long time, and there was not a single pen around the emperor who was good at rhetoric. Only Zong Ze can still be regarded as a Jinshi, and he has some literary talents, but he is far worse than those great Confucian masters in the city, and it must be the emperor himself.

"The ancestors had spirits. Yanyun is gone! ”

"It's only eight words, you can't be wrong!" When Li Gang heard that Zong Ze said the full text of the ancestor worship, he said in disbelief.

"I am old. But you won't be unable to remember these words! Zong Ze replied with a chuckle.

"Well, it's really the style of the official family when you think about it. However, these eight characters can also comfort the emperors! Li Gang thought about it and nodded, but in his heart he thought that the emperor was so 'simple'. Is there any message being sent to everyone? Let's put your greeting on the table for a while...

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the emperor triumphed, and Zhao Ta finally rushed back to the capital before the arrival of the New Year. At this time, the prisoners and belongings had already caught up with them and entered the city together. Deputy Minister Xu Jingheng and Dazong Zheng Zhao led hundreds of officials, princes, and princes out of the city for ten miles to meet the holy car, Zhao Ta abandoned the horse and boarded the car, lined up the guard of honor, and the drums and trumpets sounded in unison, and the holy car entered the city.

Arrived at the Vermilion Bird Gate, the Emperor Taishang led the people, Taixue students to greet here, outside the city gate black pressure kneeling, long live the sound of the mountains and seas, earth-shattering. Zhao Ta got out of the car and knocked to see his father, and then Zhao Ji presented a congratulatory watch, and wrote a thousand words with a smile, seeing that he was a steamed bun or a sweat, and his father couldn't do anything else. Seeing that the ceremony was over, Zhao Ta helped the Emperor Taishang to board the Luoche and enter the city with the car.

The New Year is in time for the emperor to conquer the triumph again, the city is lively again, the royal street is erected a triumphal arch, the color sheds on both sides are lined up, the lanterns are hung high, and the joyful atmosphere is better than in previous years. The crowd of people on both sides of the street is crowded, the Huang Luo tent is surrounded from the city gate to the front of the Xuande Gate to separate the crowd, and the guards and the Kaifeng Prefecture Army and the government are three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry to maintain order. The leading guard of honor passed, just saw the Huangluo umbrella cover, the people knelt down together, long live the sound of one after another sounded again, endlessly, this call is sincere, the capital was breached, the emperor was taken away, what a shame this is, now the new emperor not only regained the lost territory, but also defeated the Jin army, a shame before the snow!

Zhao Ta sat in the car and waved to the welcoming team frequently, this was the most enthusiastic time he returned to Beijing several times, and a sense of pride rose in his heart. He peeked at the old man beside him, this old shameless smile was like a flower, as if the cheers were given to him, it was his merit to recover Yanyun, and he seemed to have long forgotten that it was because of his mediocrity that put the Great Song Dynasty on the verge of extinction, if it weren't for him, he would probably still be eating snow in the Northeast with his eldest son...

After the guard of honor, there was a long line of captives, bringing the carnival of Bianjing City to a climax again. The lead was the dragon general's hussars, holding the captured banner of the Jin army. The most conspicuous is of course the handsome flags of Wushu and Sosuke, behind which are hundreds of Jin army general flags and team flags, and then the captives are on the field. Wushu was not caught, Zongfu and Yinshu could die, Wanyan Xiyin became a representative, and he curled up in the prisoner car with a serious injury and was ashamed, I am afraid that he will die.

It was followed by hundreds of prisoner cars, and those who could enjoy this kind of treatment were at least Meng'an, Mouke and prefect-level officials, some of whom had been to Bianjing a few years ago, when Zongma Yujie looked down on those ant-like Great Song Dynasty people was so majestic, I was afraid that I didn't want to revisit the old place is this scene, and the rest was only shaking their heads and sighing, and crashing their heads into the car, and they were not greeted by those Great Song Dynasty officials who were hunched over, but eggs and vegetable leaves that were split and covered with stones.

The captives after the prisoner cart were no longer treated as car-riders, and they walked into the city under the escort of the dragoon cavalry, one by one, their heads and heads were heavy, the arrogance of the past was long gone, and there was only panic and timidity and an unknown fate on their faces. Under the warm 'welcome' of the people of Bianjing, the captives marched with difficulty, and then the angry people lost their energy, and they couldn't scold one by one, because there were too many captives, and the ones in front had already finished swimming the streets and went out from the east and west gates, and the ones behind were still waiting outside the south gate to enter the city...

Zhao Ta entered the palace, washed and changed clothes under the service of Jianxi, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and Jianxi also ran before and after Zhang Luo, as if he wanted to make up for the separation during this time, and enthusiastically made Zhao Ta seem to feel that he was a guest at someone else's house, and kicked him hard twice before the spinning top Jianxi stopped and said two private words between master and servant.

After a short rest, Zhao Ta went to the Daqing Hall to go to court, which was actually a welcome reception, but it was he who paid for it. Although he hated this kind of occasion very much, and after he ascended the throne, he could save in the name of frugality, and he could avoid it, but today in the cold weather, people knelt outside the city for a long time and waited, and rushed to the house to congratulate, even the common people have to take care of a meal, so an exception was made.

This kind of banquet is long and boring, although there are songs and dances during the banquet, and there are also ministers who are good at poetry who improvise lyrics and poems, but they are not separated from the emperor's personal conquest to open up the territory for the country. Zhao Ta didn't want to sweep everyone's interest when he was happy, and praised a few words from time to time, made a comment, and appreciated something if he thought it was good, but he knew that tomorrow his desk would be full of this kind of congratulatory table of praise for merit!

The banquet did not end until the beginning of the lanterns, and the slightly drunk Zhao Ta took the chariot to the bedroom of the queen of Renming Palace, his four concubines had been waiting for a long time, he smiled and stepped forward to pick up a pair of children, kissed their faces, and looked at this to see that heart was full of joy to be a father. But the queen was worried that he had just returned from the battlefield and was too murderous and collided with the child, so he quickly let the child take away, and Zhao Ta, who was still unsatisfied, turned his gaze to Zhe Meiluan, who was already slightly pregnant, and reached out to touch it, but was opened by a slap, but he felt that this was the feeling of home...

The next day, Zhao Ta slept until three poles before getting up, and Empress Zhu Shuzhen served him to wash and change clothes, and only then did he say that the Empress Dowager had sent people to ask the emperor several times if he had gotten up, and he remembered that today was Chinese New Year's Eve, and he did not ask the Empress Dowager for peace after returning to Beijing, so he hurriedly ate a few bites, carried the family with the old and young, and asked Jianxi to carry the prepared gifts to the Longde Palace where the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager lived.

The mother and son naturally met with affection and sighing, and the two talked for a while, and the princes, grandsons and close branches of the royal family in Beijing also rushed over. This is the rule set by Zhao Ta after he ascended the throne, and every Chinese New Year's Eve, the family will go to Longde Palace to celebrate the New Year together. After everyone sat down, Zhao Tacai accompanied the emperor and the queen mother to the top of the main hall, he glanced at it, although the royal family suffered a lot of losses after the Jingkang change, but it was still full.

"No one can shake their position after today!" Zhao Ta looked at the Emperor Taishang beside him, and then looked at Zhao Gou and Zhao Kai, who were not sick in previous years, and thought about Zhao Huan, who was still in Liaodong, and now he won a great victory in the Northern Expedition, recovered Yanyun's might, and the whole country worshipped, and no one dared to touch the chair under his ass today...
