Di Qing didn't expect to reunite with Ye Pei in such a situation, he had looked forward to seeing Ye Pei day and night, but they really recognized each other, and even worshiped as brother and sister, but it made him sleepless all night.

Di Qing was more willing to look at the person he loved from afar, guarding her but not letting her know, he was no longer the simple "path cutter thief", and in just a few months after entering the palace, he had seen a lot of conspiracies.

He stayed away from the battlefield in Yanzhou, and in the war without gunpowder in Ouchi, it would only be more cruel and painful.

He didn't want to get involved in any political struggles, he just hoped that everything was fine for Ye Pei, but for Ye Pei's safety, he was willing to sacrifice at any time.

Di Qing returned to the room in the palace and found that Ye Pei had dropped a bead hairpin when he was changing clothes, and he took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, as if Ye Pei was still standing in front of him.

In this room, you can still feel the unique fragrance left by the girl after Ye Pei came, and more memories make Di Qing vivid.

It was the night when Di Qing was secretly edicted to return to Beijing, and before he met the official Zhao Zhen, he first saw a person - the Empress Dowager Liu E secretly summoned him.

Di Qing was not told where he would be taken, this deep court was as strange and mysterious to him everywhere.

When he saw the old lady in a rich dress in front of him, he didn't know where he would be.

The lady looked at Di Qing very kindly, and Di Qing also looked at the noble lady opposite, who was not angry and arrogant. I only heard a maid behind your lady say sharply: "Bold, you still don't salute when you see the Queen Mother?" ”

Di Qing had never been afraid of the enemy on the battlefield, how could he be suppressed by a little girl? He stared at each other.

Empress Dowager Liu E said: "Pearl, don't be rude!" He turned to Di Qing and said, "General Mian Ni, I have heard of your prestige a long time ago, and when I saw it today, it was indeed a talent." ”

Di Qing hesitated for a moment, but still bowed down and said, "Minister Di Qing sees the Queen Mother!" ”

Liu E smiled, "General Di, please get up quickly, don't be polite, give me a seat." ”

Di Qing sat down and listened to Liu E say again: "General Di has made great contributions to guarding the northwest territory for my Great Song Dynasty. I heard that you have never lost a battle against Western Xia? The general is not very old, but he has such merits, he really deserves to be my great Song general, the material of the pillars! I like it very much. ”

Di Qing said: "The queen mother praised falsely, the minister was born in a peasant family, and he was assigned to fill the army, but he had no talent, only because of his rudeness and recklessness, he won a place in the army. ”

The Empress Dowager Liu E looked quite amiable, "General Di is too modest, and heroes since ancient times don't ask where they come from."

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Zhong of Qi lost his father at a young age and lived in poverty, but he assisted Qi Huan Gong to become the first overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period; Su Qin during the Warring States period was born in a peasant family, but later hung the seal of the Six Kingdoms; Zhuge Kongming during the Three Kingdoms, a generation of famous ministers, was also cultivated in Nanyang before meeting Liu Bei; Chen Ping, a famous minister of the Western Han Dynasty, was born in poverty, but he assisted Liu Bang to achieve a hegemony.

Even if it is me, I am also an orphan of Xishu, I met the first emperor, assisted the first emperor, and now I am in the position of the queen mother. It can be seen that the background is not important, as long as you are willing to work hard, there will always be a time to get ahead. General Di is a young hero with an unlimited future. ”

Liu E's words made Di Qing's blood boil.

Liu E continued: "The general has a handsome face, but it's a pity that there are some slight flaws in the tattoos on his face. I know that there is a good way to wash away the tattoos on General Di's face, and the general is willing to give it a try? ”

Di Qing got acquainted with Ye Pei because of the tattoo, thinking that it was a kind of fate, and he was unwilling to change, so he said: "Everyone in the world sees the ugly tattoo on my face, but because of these scars, the minister always reminds himself of the hardships he has experienced, moments

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Thanks to the people who helped me because of this, these scars made the minister more loyal and did not dare to slack off in the slightest. ”

"Since General Di is unwilling to change, I will not force it."

At this time, a gentle and beautiful palace maid entered to offer tea to Di Qing, and Di Qing respectfully accepted it.

Liu E pointed to this person and said to Di Qing: "This woman has followed me for many years, and she has a bright heart, I will give her to the general as a concubine, how is your life in Beijing?" ”

Di Qing was very frightened, stood up and arched his hand and said: "Minister Xie Empress Dowager Longen, the minister is only alone in Beijing this time, and he has no family and does not need to be taken care of." ”

Liu E smiled: "The general is too nervous, let's just chatter, nothing else." Does the general have a wife and children in his hometown? Are you afraid that your wife will not be happy at home? In that case, it is better to take the wife and children together and reunite the husband and wife. ”

Di Qing's face turned slightly red, and he said, "The minister has no wife or children. ”

"If the general doesn't look down on the maidservant just now, I can marry you in the name of the queen mother, let me think that the daughter of that family is worthy of a talent like the general."

Di Qing hurriedly denied: "Don't bother the queen mother, the minister already has a heart, and when the minister stabilizes, he will ask for it." ”

Liu E nodded, "Which daughter does the general like?" I give you marriage in the name of the Queen Mother. ”

Di Qing smiled innocently, "It's not everyone's lady, it's just the daughter of a dart game, if the queen mother gives her marriage, it will scare her so much that she refuses to marry Weichen." ”

"Then I will give you a dowry of 100 gold and a hundred pieces of brocade. I hope you will have a beautiful woman as soon as possible. ”

Di Qing stood up again and thanked him, not knowing what to say.

Empress Dowager Liu E raised her hand, signaling that Di Qing didn't have to thank her anymore, and then asked, "What other family members are in the general's family?" ”

At this time, Di Qing realized something, began to be nervous, and replied: "There are still parents and brothers and sisters-in-law in the minister's family. ”

"Why don't you bring the reunion of the Beijing Division?"

"The minister's parents are old and used to living in the village, and they are afraid that they will be restrained when they come to Bianjing."

Alas, the difference between parents and parents who are afraid of dragging down their children and being restrained is just talking. If the general is famous, he should naturally take them over to enjoy the blessings. ”

"The Queen Mother is right, when the ministers settled down, they went to pick up their parents."

Liu E nodded, "Well, this is filial piety." ”

Then he said: "I know that the general's hometown is in Fenzhou, and Wu Zengqi, the governor of Fenzhou, was brought up by me, and I wrote to him to take care of the general's family, so he did not dare to slack off." Now that the general is working in Beijing, he doesn't have to think about his home all the time. ”

Di Qing broke out in a cold sweat on his back when he heard this, he had never been afraid of anything in the battle on the front line, but now there was a slight chill coming out of his heart.

Di Qing got up and thanked him and said, "No merit is not rewarded, and the minister is ashamed of it." ”

Liu E said slowly: "General Di fought for the country, throwing his head and spilling blood, why should he be so kind to such a small kindness? In the future, I will rely more on the general in the court, please don't shirk the general. ”

Di Qing knelt down and kowtowed: "The Queen Mother is kind, the minister doesn't know how to repay it?" ”

Liu E smiled meaningfully, "As long as the general has a heart, there will always be a chance." ”

------

The next day, the official Zhao Zhen and Di Qing officially met, Zhao Zhen saw that Di Qing was tall and burly, with a righteous face, and he also liked it very much. In addition, Fan Zhongyan said that this person was a "good general", so he asked him about the affairs of the Western Xia border, Di Qing answered fluently, and presented a military map he drew to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen brought the military plan to ask Di Qing again, and Di Qing also said the truth, very insightful, Zhao Zhen liked it even more.

Zhao Zhen said in his heart: "Although this person is reckless,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

But it's not just the talent of the guards, the future is immeasurable! ”

After the next court, Zhao Zhen mentioned to the Empress Dowager Liu E that he wanted to promote a guard to be the commander of the pro-army in front of the palace, and Liu E agreed as soon as she heard Di Qing's name. Zhao Zhen was quite happy to see that Liu E did not stop him.

A few days later, Di Qing was on duty in front of the palace, and saw the next court from a distance, and a group of people surrounded the prime minister Ding Wei to hang the arch hall. I don't want this Ding Wei to deliberately detour in front of Di Qing and talk to him.

"Presumably this is the famous 'General Mianni', right? Look up for a long time, look up for a long time! The tattoo on Di Qing's face was too obvious, and Ding Wei recognized him at a glance.

Di Qing hurriedly gave a salute: "Minister Di Qing, I have seen Ding Zaifu." ”

Ding Wei said: "I have admired the general's name for a long time, and I only have to meet today." It's really a hero since ancient times, I can't imagine that General Di has such a feat, at such an age, it's amazing! ”

Di Qing is not good at socializing, but he is perfunctory on the surface, "Ding Zaifu has won the award." ”

Ding Wei said again: "Three days later, I will have a banquet in my house, if the general has time, he will come and sit down, and then I will introduce the hundred officials in the court for the general." ”

Several officials following behind Ding Wei immediately became agitated, all looking up and down at this guard with tattoos on his face, they didn't know who this person was, and he was so valued by Prime Minister Ding Wei?

Di Qing said with trepidation: "Three days later, I will be on duty, I can't go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pay a visit, please ask Ding Zaifu for forgiveness." ”

"It's a shame that we will have the opportunity to meet again next time."

Di Qing bowed down again and watched Ding Wei leave. He looked at the back of Ding Wei as the stars left like the moon, and felt more and more that he was in prison, and some cold sweat broke out on his back.

After getting off the deacon, Di Qing changed into civilian clothes and went out of the palace to visit the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau on Mashi Street.

Lu Chang took the greeting sticker, which read: The guards and the pro-army all commanded Di Qing to pay a visit. Lu Chang was suspicious in his heart, he had never befriended such a high-ranking official, what was the use of this person suddenly visiting?

Lu Chang came out of the gate to greet him, but when he saw Di Erlang with a tattoo on his face, he immediately understood.

Lu Chang took a step forward and said, "Brother Di, I haven't seen you for three years, I didn't expect you to be promoted to the commander of the Great Inner Palace, it's really a blessing!" ”

Di Qing also said with a smile: "Brother Lu, don't come to harm!" I can have today, thanks to Brother Lu's rescue and help, I need to be a spring newspaper, the first thing I did when I returned to Beijing was to visit our Zhenyuan Dart Bureau! As he spoke, he bowed and bowed.

Lu Chang pulled Di Qing into the living room to offer tea, Lu Chang asked Di Qing about many affairs on the front line in Yanzhou, and recounted some common words. Di Qingcai asked tactfully: "Brother Lu, how is Brother Lou and Sister Ye Pei doing?" I want to meet them, I miss them for so many years! ”

"Them?" Lu Chang didn't answer, and only said after a while: "I think I'm going to disappoint Brother Di, they are no longer here." ”

"They're no longer in the town's far dart board?"

"Exactly."

"Where do you have them? I'm going to pay a visit. ”

"It's a long story, and I'll talk to my brother when I have the opportunity."

Di Qing knew that there must be a secret in this, but Lu Chang didn't say it, and he couldn't dig into it. It's just that Di Qing's expectations for the past three years have been disappointed, and he is unspeakably disappointed in his heart.

After leaving the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, Di Qing met Shi Yu, a good brother who was born and died together in Yanzhou, who came to Bianjing earlier than Di Qing, and was also serving in the command department at this time. The two saw each other very happily and went directly to Donghuamen Street to eat and drink.

Shi Yu introduced the basic situation of Bianjing to Di Qing, and also complained about the darkness of the officialdom of many intrigues, and missed a lot of history of sharing weal and woe together in Yanzhou.

The two of them were so drunk that they didn't disperse until the curfew.
