A few fast horses galloped on the wide official road, and the Beijing division was also the face of the Great Song Dynasty, so the official road outside the capital was still quite well repaired, at least enough to accommodate two or three carriages in parallel.

These fast horses are all capable soldiers, at first glance they are messengers who deliver news, especially these messengers are carrying orders behind them, but anyone with a little insight can see that this is a six-hundred-mile urgent messenger, although it is a little lower than the eight-hundred-mile urgency, but it can also be imagined that the information transmitted by these messengers is definitely not ordinary.

In the face of the messenger, even the dignitaries and nobles must get out of the way, otherwise they will inevitably be held accountable by the imperial court, if this is in the past, of course, there will not be many powerful people who care, when the road should be blocked, the road will be blocked, what about the messenger, even if it delays the military plane, then what is it.

But now, fools know what they can and can't do.

With Chu Yi, the killing god, who dares to jump out at this time, it is clear that he doesn't want to live.

A few fast horses rode by, and soon entered the capital, and the pedestrians on the long street came and went, and many people looked up when they heard the sound of horses' hooves.

When I saw the messengers galloping on horseback, my eyes lit up.

I only heard a few people: "Hey, there is another messenger entering Beijing, is it possible that there is any good news from the chief manager?" ”

"A month ago, there was a good news that entered Beijing, and the whole country of Tubo has surrendered, and even His Majesty hastened to send a group of officials to Tubo to take office.

Listening to the discussions of these people in the capital, it was like the destruction of the country had become an ordinary thing, and when the people of the capital learned the news of the destruction of Dajin, they were completely stunned.

However, after experiencing Dajin, Western Xia, and Tubo, the people of the Great Song Dynasty have undergone great changes, and in their opinion, with Chu Yi here, it seems that it is not so difficult to destroy the country.

Whatever the people might have guessed, the messenger went into the Privy Council at once.

It's just a cup of tea, and Zong Ze, as a privy envoy, has already entered the palace to ask for a meeting with Zhao Gou, the son of heaven.

In the imperial study, Zhao Gou put down a piece of music in his hand, raised his head and looked at Zong Ze and said, "Aiqing is here, but is there anything in the Privy Council?" ”

Zhao Gou knows Zong Ze quite well, if there is nothing to do, he will not enter the palace to see him under normal circumstances, it is said that Zong Ze should deal with affairs in the Privy Council at this time, but it is rare to enter the palace, I think there is something to make the other party enter the palace.

Zong Ze saluted at Zhao Gou and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Song is in a hurry!" ”

Zhao Gou's spirit was shocked when he heard this, and even his body couldn't help but straighten up, looking at Zong Ze and said, "King Song is in a hurry? What the hell is going on, come quickly! ”

Zong Ze presented a letter in his hand to Zhao Gou and said: "The letter is here, please read it to Your Majesty!" ”

After taking the letter, Zhao Gou opened the letter, and when he saw the content of the letter, his expression changed, with surprise and worry.

I only heard Zhao Gou sigh softly: "It turned out that the King of Song was preparing to return to the dynasty, and I thought that the situation in Tibet had changed somewhat."

Zong Ze, who saw the change in Zhao Gou's expression, didn't say anything, but said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this time, His Royal Highness the King of Song destroyed the two countries one after another, and opened up the territory for my Great Song Dynasty, its credit is really too great, Your Majesty, please think about it earlier, and when His Royal Highness King Song returns to the dynasty from work, how should the imperial court reward the army." ”

Hearing Zong Ze say this, Zhao Gou's face couldn't help but become a little distressed, just as Zong Ze said, Chu Yi went on an expedition and destroyed the Western Xia and Tubo countries one after another, opening up territory for the Great Song Dynasty.

The most important thing is that Chu Yi is already a very human minister, even if he wants to be enthroned, Zhao Gou can't figure out how to enthrone Chu Yi.

Just like when Chu Yi destroyed Dajin before, it was because of the great merit that there was no seal, and in the end, under the advice of Li Gang, Zong Ze, Zhang Shuye and others, the reward that should have been awarded to Chu Yi was transferred to the officers and soldiers of the three armies.

Zhao Gou wanted to do this again, but after thinking about it, Zhao Gou hesitated, because he didn't know what Chu Yi thought in his heart, if Chu Yi didn't have any opinions, then it would be fine, in case Chu Yi had an opinion, I was afraid that it would hurt Chu Yi.

Raising his head, Zhao Gou's gaze fell on Zong Ze's body and said, "Aiqing, how do you say I should reward King Song?" ”

If Zong Ze had any good methods and suggestions, he was afraid that he would have suggested it to Zhao Gou a long time ago, so Zong Ze shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know!" ”

Zhao Gou also knew that he was a little embarrassed to ask Zong Ze, so he waved his hand and said, "That's it, let's think about this matter." ”

Saying that, Zhao Gou glanced at Zong Ze and said: "Regarding the return of the Song Wang's class master to the court, we will discuss it in the early court tomorrow, but after Aiqing goes back, you might as well communicate with Li Aiqing, Zhang Aiqing and others first, so that they can have a preparation in their hearts and strive to come up with a charter tomorrow." ”

Zong Ze commanded: "The minister obeys the order." ”

After Zong Ze left, Zhao Gou sat there and sighed lightly: "Uncle Wang, you also heard it, I really don't know how to reward Chu Yi this time." ”

As Zhao Gou's voice fell, he saw a figure appear in the imperial study, it was none other than Zongzheng Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu, as a royal celestial powerhouse, would generally guard around the Son of Heaven to ensure the safety of the Son of Heaven.

Of course, in this case, the Son of Heaven will have a lot less privacy, so many Son of Heaven will not let the strong men of heaven and man guard in secret, but Zhao Gou does not have so many scruples.

Zhao Yu walked out, looked at Zhao Gou's sad face and said, "Your Majesty, why should you be so worried, just as I said before, with Chu Yi's strength and ability, if he really wants to take away my Zhao family's world, no one in this world can stop the other party." Therefore, if Chu Yi has no intention of giving me the Zhao family's world, then His Majesty only needs to give Chu Yi an explanation, then Chu Yi will definitely not have any dissatisfaction, if Chu Yi has the heart to take away my Zhao family's world, no matter how much reward His Majesty gives him, it will be useless. ”

Obviously, Zhao Gou, who is in the position of the Son of Heaven, does not see clearly as Zhao Yu, who is a bystander, and perhaps Zong Ze, Li Gang and others can see through this more or less, but as courtiers, some words are not like Zhao Yu, who is also a clan, can directly say to Zhao Gou.

Hearing Zhao Yu say this, Zhao Gou exhaled a breath of turbidity slightly, looked at Zhao Yu and said, "Uncle Wang taught me a lesson, I wrote it down." ”

In the spring of this year, Chu Yi, who spent the entire winter in Tubo and had been away for more than half a year, finally returned to the court.

When he learned the news of Chu Yi's return to the dynasty, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked.

Although it is said that Chu Yi took away his henchmen, there are no henchmen in the court, but as long as they are not fools, they know that even if there are no Chu Yi's henchmen in the court, once Chu Yi comes back, no one can go against Chu Yi's will. Even if it's the Son of Heaven, it can't be.

The Ministry of Rites has made various preparations to welcome the return of the army to the dynasty early, and it is necessary to make the whole ceremony grand enough, so as to show the importance of the court and the Son of Heaven.

On this day, as soon as the sky was bright, a gorgeous imperial palace slowly walked out of the palace, and under the protection of the imperial forest army, the son of heaven Zhao constructed the palace.

Outside the palace gate were the civil and military officials who came early, and after a group of civil and military officials worshiped Zhao Gou first, they followed the emperor of heaven one by one, and ran along the long street to the city gate.

On the long street, a neat group of forbidden troops was lined up on both sides of the long street, blocking the people who had arrived early after getting the news, leaving enough passage for the Son of Heaven to pass.

On both sides of the long street, a group of people looked at the Son of Heaven who came from afar with great excitement.

"Look, the Son of Heaven, Your Majesty and hundreds of officials are going out of the city to welcome the chief manager back to the court."

"Tut, I was born in such a prosperous world, it is really a blessing for three lives, this is the second time that His Majesty has led a hundred officials out of the city to welcome the chief manager back to Beijing."

The previous time was after Chu Yi destroyed Dajin, and when he returned to the dynasty, Zhao Gou led hundreds of officials to greet him.

It is precisely because there has been a precedent that there is, so the people in the capital seem to be a lot calmer this time, after all, no matter how grand the scene is, if you say that you have seen too much, it will not be such a big sensation.

In the memories of the people, it seems that the last time I saw such a scene was more than half a year ago, it was only less than a year, Chu Yi actually destroyed two countries again, you must know that those two countries are powerful countries that have not been solved in the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years.

Whether it is Tubo or Western Xia, they are all countries that the Great Song Dynasty has tried their best to conquer, but they never wanted to be destroyed by Chu Yi in less than a year.

Sitting on the high royal bowl, Zhao Gou looked at the people on both sides, and couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart, fortunately, through Zhao Yu's explanation, Zhao Gou had already thought about it, as the so-called life and death have life and wealth in the sky, since you can't resist, then everything will go naturally.

Soon the imperial court and the civil and military officials arrived outside the city gate, and the official road outside the city had been covered with a layer of loess and sprinkled with clear water.

From morning to noon, including Zhao Gou, a hundred civil and military officials waited outside the city for about two hours, and some elderly officials were a little unbearable.

Fortunately, Zhao Gou understood the old age of those officials, and specially ordered someone to prepare seats for those officials, otherwise, I am afraid that before Chu Yi's army returns, there will be a few officials who will not be able to support it.

Suddenly, a team of fast horses galloped over, and everyone couldn't help but be shocked and looked at the comer.

The person who came turned over and dismounted and bowed to the Son of Heaven and said, "Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses of the Great Governor's Office have arrived at the Sanli River, and they will arrive in half an hour at most." ”

The officials looked shocked, everyone knew that the Sanli River was a few miles outside the city, which was about three or four miles away, so it was called the Sanli River.

Now that Chu Yi has arrived at the Sanli River, it means that Chu Yi will be able to arrive soon.

Not long after, there was a faint tremor in the distance, the earth shook more and more obviously, and a cloud of smoke and dust appeared in sight.

"It's coming!"

Someone couldn't help but let out a low cry, and soon saw a black line appear in the line of sight, and gradually the figure could be seen flickering clearly.

A carriage appeared in everyone's sight, and soon the carriage stopped in front of the city gate, and a figure walked out of the carriage, who was it not Chu Yi.

When Chu Yi's gaze swept over the crowd of civil and martial arts, many people subconsciously lowered their heads, but they didn't dare to look directly at Chu Yi.

Of course, these people don't dare to look directly at Chu Yi, it's not that these people have ghosts in their hearts, it's really Chu Yi who has returned with a big victory, and those who are powerful and psychologically a little worse really don't dare to look directly at Chu Yi.

Zhao Gou personally walked down from the royal belt and said to Chu Yi: "The King of Song returned with a great victory, and I am very relieved and excited......

Chu Yi smiled slightly and said, "I am tired of Your Majesty coming out to greet you, Chu Yi is panicking." ”

Zhao Gou shook his head and said: "The King of Song is a great contribution to my Great Song Dynasty, don't say that it is a welcome, that is, I want to lead the horse and carry the whip for the King of Song, and I can afford it." ”

The two of them looked like kings and ministers, and in the eyes of a group of civil and military officials, it made some officials with dark hearts feel a little disappointed.

Zhao Gou invited Chu Yi to board the imperial palace, and then entered the city together with the hundred officials.

On top of the royal court, Zhao Gou and Chu Yi sat opposite each other, as if they wanted to open, Zhao Gou looked at Chu Yi with emotion and said: "I really didn't expect Chu Yi that your dispatch of troops would be so smooth, not only Western Xia, but even Tubo was taken together." ”

Chu Yi noticed the change in Zhao Gou's mood, and smiled slightly, the two of them didn't look like monarchs and ministers, but like ordinary friends, so he heard Chu Yi say: "Chu didn't expect to be able to decide the situation in one battle, if it weren't for the Western Xia lord being too confident, if it was really a city and a town to attack, I am afraid it would not be so smooth." ”

As Chu Yi said, Li Qianshun was because the Buddha walked out of the Snow Mountain and the help of Tubo caused his confidence to skyrocket, so that he gambled on everything.

If not, if there is really a competition with Chu Yi for one city and one town, it will be Chu Yi who will be in charge, and he will finally be able to take down Western Xia, and the energy and time consumed will inevitably cost several times more.

Zhao Gou's face showed a bit of excitement and said: "Dajin, Western Xia, and Tubo were all wiped out and included in the territory of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

No matter how you say it, he Zhao Gou is also the son of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, Chu Yi really took away his Zhao family's world, but one thing is undeniable, that is, Dajin, Western Xia, and Tubo were indeed destroyed during his Zhao Gou's reign, and based on this alone, his name of Zhao Gou will also be passed on to future generations.

Saying that, Zhao Gou looked at Chu Yi and said solemnly: "With Chu Yi's peerless feats, I really don't know how to reward it, there are no outsiders here, and I won't say anything else, if Chu Yi is interested in this world, I can give you the throne Zen ......"

Chu Yi couldn't help but look at Zhao Gou, and from Zhao Gou's eyes, he could see that Zhao Gou's words were sincere, not a temptation, which made Chu Yi glance at Zhao Gougao.

As soon as Zhao Gou spoke, a big stone in his heart seemed to fall, and the words he held in his heart finally came out, whether it is life or death, it depends on Chu Yi's attitude, no matter how Chu Yi chooses, at least he doesn't have to worry about this, worry about that. The worst result is nothing more than losing the Zhao family, but with Chu Yi's temperament, even if he takes away their Zhao family, he will give them a decent treatment for the Zhao family, just like their Zhao family treats the Chai family.

When Chu Yi looked at Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou also looked at Chu Yi, but he didn't know why, Zhao Gou felt that Chu Yi seemed to just look at him in surprise, and he didn't mean to be excited at all, as if the throne and the country that he valued were not attractive to Chu Yi.
