Five days later, the arch was hung.

Zhao Guangyi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was as majestic and calm as ever. But the ministers in the palace stood sparsely, and none of the famous strategists and generals showed up today. The hall was more empty than ever, and the atmosphere was much quieter than ever.

Zhao Guangyi looked down at the ministers in the hall, his eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and he was slightly relieved to see that there was not a single famous minister in the hall. He commanded: "Let the Qu Yue envoy come in!" ”

As soon as his words fell, the head of the palace repeated in a loud voice in a sharp voice: "The official family has a decree, and the envoy of Qu Yue will be heard!" When the little eunuchs in the layers of palace gates heard the sound, they also hurriedly recited the holy decree, and for a while, they flattened and rose again like waves, and passed from the vertical arch hall to the outside of the palace.

Soon, Wang Shaozuo and Jiang Juwang walked into the main hall with the little eunuch they led, and came to the front of Zhao Guangyi in the middle of the main hall. Zhao Guangyi glanced at the two of them, and said with a slight bow: "Are the two under the stairs the envoys sent by Qu Yue?" ”

Wang Shaozuo hurriedly bowed deeply and said, "Wang Shaozuo, the envoy of the lower official Quyue, has seen the official family of the Great Song Dynasty!" May the official family have no time, and may the Great Song Dynasty and Qu Yue be peaceful for eternity! ”

Jiang Juwang also bowed to Zhao Guangyi with Wang Shaozuo, but Yu Guang kept looking at the ministers of the Liwu class, and there was a slight muttering in his mouth, "This is Pan Mei?" No, it doesn't seem to be Cao Bin. Well? How come these people are not the same as the portraits that His Majesty showed me? ”

Wang Shaozuo glared at Jiang Juwang, and then reached out and pulled his arm, only then did he react and immediately shut his mouth. Although the movements of the two were very subtle, they did not escape Zhao Guangyi's eyes at all.

But he pretended not to be aware, and only said: "Two, I received a report from the Privy Council a few days ago, saying that Ding Buling unfortunately passed away, his son Ding Xuan ascended the throne as emperor, and Li Huan, the general of the Ten Daos, was named vice king to assist the young emperor in handling court affairs, can this matter be taken seriously?" ”

Wang Shaozuo nodded and said: "The official family is really well-informed, the little envoy came this time to ask for a seal, I have a letter of state here, and I hope the official family will see it." As he spoke, he took out the credentials from his sleeves, bowed down again, and raised his hands above his head.

Zhao Guangyi glanced at the little eunuch beside him, and the little eunuch immediately understood and presented the national letter in Wang Shaozuo's hand. Zhao Guangyi took the letter of state, read it roughly, and then said: "Two, Qu Yue has always been a subject of our Great Song Dynasty, and now that the first emperor has died and the new monarch has ascended the throne, there is no reason not to canonize it." I personally wrote a holy decree and canonized Ding Xuan as the lord of Qu Yue, and Li Huan as his deputy. ”

He saw that there was no joy in the expressions of the two of them, and said secretly, "Could it be that Li Huan not only controls the Qu Yue government, but has already usurped the throne as the emperor?" Li Huan is ambitious, and he will never be willing to surrender to my Great Song Dynasty for a long time, if this is the case, I must try to restrain one or two. ”

Zhao Guangyi thought about it and continued: "Li Huan has grand plans, and he is unwilling to live under others. If he thinks that Ding Xuan is young and incompetent, he can send Ding Xuan's mother and son to Bianliang, and I will rename him the lord of Qu Yue. ”

Wang Shaozuo said: "Official, this matter is very important, and the little envoy can't be the master." It's better to wait for the envoy to return to Quyue and inform His Majesty, and then make a decision. ”

Zhao Guangyi said: "Okay, if you two want to travel in Bianliang, I am very welcome." If you want to return to Quyue immediately, I will not stop you! ”

Wang Shaozuo said gratefully: "Thank you for the kindness of the official family, it's just that the two of us have a mission and don't dare to delay." We will return to Quyue early tomorrow morning, so that we can report this matter to Your Majesty as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Guangyi waved his hand and said, "In that case, you should go to the pavilion to rest today, and tomorrow I will send someone to practice it for you." Wang Shaozuo gave a deep salute when he heard this, and then pulled Jiang Juwang, whose eyes had not been idle for a moment since he entered the hall, and walked out of the hall slowly.

Ten days later, Li Huan's dormitory.

Li Huan held a luxurious gold wine glass, half-lying on the scarlet carpet next to the dragon couch, and there were several empty wine jars beside him. While he drank the wine, he looked at the distant sky, his eyes seemed a little misty, and sometimes he showed a smug light.

Over the years, he had developed a habit of drinking before every major war, and he would have to get drunk for three days and three nights. Li Huan's behavior is in the eyes of everyone, it is a drunkenness, a lot of drinking, and even extravagance. Only Li Huan himself understands how many problems he can think about in the past three days, and how many strategies he can think of to control the enemy. He understands that only in this way can he truly bring his abilities to the extreme.

"When, when, when......"

There was a sudden knock on the door outside the dormitory, which disturbed Li Huan's drinking pleasure and interrupted his thoughts. Li Huan's eyebrows frowned subconsciously, his blurred eyes suddenly became clear, and a burst of murderous intent surged in his eyes.

Li Huan looked outside the door and shouted angrily: "I said, no one will come to disturb me for the past three days, do you take my will as the wind in your ears?" ”

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, General Wang and General Jiang have returned, and now they are asking to see them outside the palace. Outside the door, there was the voice of a little eunuch trembling with fear, as if there was one of the most vicious beasts in the world locked up in this palace, even a thousand times more terrifying than the beasts.

Hearing this, Li Huan's eyes gradually subsided, and he said coldly: "Let them in." ”

The little eunuch replied in a trembling voice: "Yes......"

Following the voice of the little eunuch, Wang Shaozuo and Jiang Juwang walked quickly into the dormitory. Li Huan glanced at the two of them and asked, "What is the result of your trip?" ”

Wang Shaozuo preemptively said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Guangyi agrees to canonize Ding Xuan as the lord of Qu Yue, and let you deputy." But he also said Your Majesty, you also have great plans, if you think that Ding Xuan is young and incompetent, send Ding Xuan's mother and son to Bianliang, and he will rename you the lord of Quyue. ”

Li Huan laughed a few times when he heard this, "Hahaha, I have long been the emperor of Quyue, and I don't want to recognize the Song Kingdom as my lord of Qu Yue anymore, but Zhao Guangyi still tries to put me together, it's really ridiculous!" ”

Jiang Juwang couldn't laugh at all at this time, "Your Majesty, although the last general has a clumsy mouth, his eyes are very useful, and while General Wang was speaking, the last general looked at the civil and military affairs of the Song Kingdom. Not only Cao Bin and Pan Mei were not in the court, but even Gao Huaide, Shi Shouxin, and Han Chongyun were not there. ”

Wang Shaozuo also said nervously: "Yes, the last general is also secretly paying attention, I really didn't see these famous generals, do you think they are all among the 150,000 troops who came to attack?" ”

Li Huan did not panic, but laughed and raised his head to drink the glass of Chinese wine, and then his eyes burst out with a scorching battle intent, "The two of you immediately lead 30,000 horses to Langshan to garrison, no matter how the Song army scolds the formation, you must not be able to hold out." Ten days later, I will lead 100,000 horses to support you, and when I arrive, I will definitely make the Song army bleed thousands of miles and ambush millions of corpses, and swear not to return to the dynasty if you don't kill the enemy! ”
