In the fourth year of Yuanjia (427 AD), Liu Yilong took hundreds of officials to set up the case of Tiandijun and his teacher, and went out to build Kangcheng for ten miles, and personally welcomed the return of the jade seal of the country to orthodoxy, and the Son of Heaven was on the throne. So far, no one dares to openly question that Liu Yilong's throne was obtained by killing his brother, and his name is not right.

The jade seal of the country was brought back by Yingfeng himself. He knelt on his knees, holding the heirloom jade seal high in both hands and handed it to Liu Yilong. Many insiders have mixed feelings about this scene.

Many ministers and big clans in the court know about Yingfeng. Liu Yilong's closest person has been the emperor's escort since Jingzhou.

Because of Yingfeng's surname, he can't pay homage to the prime minister and is destined to be unknown for the rest of his life. However, it is such a descendant of the Ying family who personally presented the heirloom jade seal, which symbolizes the power of the world, to Liu Yilong. In this sense, this is no longer just a treasure offering.

Many old ministers and clan elders burst into tears on the spot. They had waited too long for this day...... The return of the jade seal soothed the pain of leaving their families and businesses behind, and they could finally comfort their ancestors.

Liu Yilong saw that many elderly ministers were crying breathlessly, so he hurriedly ordered the transfer of imperial doctors and carriages from the city to take care of the ministers back to the city.

And he himself, sitting on the royal bowl, holding the jade seal in both hands all the way, detouring to the south fence gate, first passing through Changganli, all the way to the people to worship and then enter the temple to worship and comfort the sages. After passing through the palace of the hundred officials, he was congratulated by the hundred officials, and then entered the palace from the Xuanyang Gate. The whole process is extremely solemn and solemn.

Only half an hour after welcoming back the jade seal of the country, the ministers of the Liu Song Dynasty changed from joy at the beginning to shrewd watching.

This time, the Tan family has meritorious. This is an unspeakable fact. The daughter of the Tan family found the jade seal, and the son of the Tan family not only welcomed back the jade seal, but also brought back the national letter of the Xia Dynasty, praying for a joint fight against Wei.

But the problem is that the daughter of the Tan family did not offer the jade seal herself, but the jade seal of the country that the emperor spent more than one million taels to invite back. Everyone is speculating whether the emperor wants to offset the merits or reward them separately?

And the credit of the Tan family is still not as good as Yingfeng's. Whether it was his insistence on taking people to greet the mission, or kneeling on the ground outside the city to offer treasures for Liu Yilong's momentum, it was a great achievement that could not be ignored.

Shang Shuling once reminded him sideways that as long as Liu Yilong gave Yingfeng a new surname, Yingfeng could be reborn and take up an official position. But Liu Yilong knew in his heart that the surname Ying may be more important than his life for Yingfeng.

Liu Yilong's final reward was jaw-dropping.

Tan Daoji, who was already in power, and had nowhere to be promoted with his humble body, actually took another step forward.

Governor of Jiangzhou; Jiangxia, Xiyang, Xincai, Jinxi four counties of the military; General of the Expedition to the South; History of Jiangzhou Thorn; Keeping the festival and serving the same thing.

In addition, Tan Shu, the son of the Tan family, was appointed as the Huangmen Shilang. The second son, Tan Cang, was named Situ Zhonglang.

Once a Tan Daoji had already given the clan gate valve a headache. Now not only Tan Daoji is still standing, but even his sons are also standing. All of them have become close ministers of the Son of Heaven!

And Yingfeng, after asking Liu Yilong for a flower boat was vetoed, he got enough silver to squander on any flower boat. In addition, Liu Yilong privately handed over all the Yin Xin, the commander of the Yulin Army and the Secret Guard, to Yingfeng. In other words, Liu Yilong handed over his life to Yingfeng.

The Qinhuai River once again ushered in its heyday. The prosperity of the city has all turned into Wu Nong's warm words that scratch people's ears, the sound of the piano is still there, and the sound of the song is faint. What could be more joyful than drinking a pot of wine on a flower boat, admiring the beauty of the half-moon, and getting drunk with a cup of fresh breeze?

Although the flower boat built by Wang Xie and his family on this river is still the most huge, and it is brightly lit all night. But now there are also many small boats roaming around the behemoth. Some of them ferryed people on and off large boats. Some of them are done in the side business.

Just when the entire Jiankang City seemed to be soaked in a wine jar, Tan Daoji quietly left Jiankang with his own soldiers.

With the ambition of recovering the northern land all his life, Tan Daoji couldn't turn a blind eye to the pleasures of the clan and the children of officials, and he couldn't impeach any of them due to officialdom entanglements, so he could only choose to hide on the grounds of patrolling the frontier.

Liu Yilong naturally wouldn't stop him. Now Tan Daoji's two most powerful sons-in-law have been left in the palace to serve. With such a powerful proton, Liu Yilong is not worried that Tan Daoji will have other intentions.

Tan Daoji originally wanted to go back to the Hu Army Camp directly, but somehow, he went to Jiangzhou again.

Tan Daoji did not tell others that he had visited Jiangzhou several times before, just because he had a close friend who lived here in seclusion.

When Tan Daoji arrived at his friend's house, it was getting late, but he was just in time for his old friend to come back from outside wearing a coarse linen shirt, stepping on shabby grass shoes, and dragging a hoe full of mud.

"Brother Tao, you can't carry a hoe? I remember when I first came to see you four years ago, you were still able to carry it on your shoulder. ”

Tao Yuanming pushed down the brim of his hat with his dry fingers, and then he saw the person who came, "Who am I?" It turned out to be you, Brother Tan. Why, come to me again to ask for tea? ”

Tao Yuanming said and put the hoe against the wall, took off the straw hat, revealing a silver hair, an increasingly old face and a back that was ragged and could not straighten his waist.

Tan Daoji sighed with emotion: "Brother Tao, you are so talented, a rare sage in the world, you should be in the court to guide the country, why do you have to suffer so much?" These are not troubled times, so why should you always live in seclusion? ”

Tao Yuanming looked displeased, "You're here again!" When the new emperor ascended the throne, you came to persuade me, I told you, I am still far from the character of those sages! I had neither that much talent nor that much ambition. Don't waste your tongue! Otherwise, I'll kick you out of the house right now, and I won't even give you a drink!" ”

Tan Daoji was so helpless by the stubborn temper of the old man Tao Yuanming that he had to say with a smile: "Okay, good." I don't mention it, I don't mention it. I'll help you repair the wall of this house so that you can drink it for Brother Tao's cup of chrysanthemum tea. ”

Tao Yuanming said with a smile: "Although Lao Suo is poor, he is not stingy. If you help build a wall for your brother, you will naturally get a bowl of corn! ”

In order not to disturb Tao Yuanming's secluded life, Tan Daoji deliberately asked his soldiers to wait in the distance. At this time, he smiled: "A word is a certainty." Then he rolled up his sleeves and personally repaired his almost half-collapsed wall for Tao Yuanming.

Tao Yuanming, on the other hand, sat on a wooden pier in the courtyard, seemingly resting for a while while drinking. After a while, Tao Yuanming suddenly asked, "Xie Hui is dead?" ”

General Tan, who was smearing mud on the wall, paused for a moment, then sighed a little sadly and nodded.

"Hey, I'll just say you have nothing to do, how did you think to come here with my bad old man." Tao Yuanming said and poured another glass of water and handed it to Tan Daoji.
