Lin'an House.

Inside the Jiying Palace.

The official family was dressed in a red robe and wore a long-winged hat, and sat on the dragon chair energetically.

His Royal Highness, a group of civil and military officials, are also happy.

Especially Chen Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was even more smiling from ear to ear.

The hall was filled with joy.

You can't be happy if you don't want to!

A sudden Northern Expedition, from the beginning of many people was not optimistic, to now the war is decided.

It can be said that the result exceeded everyone's expectations!

Even those who were optimistic at the beginning couldn't believe that with the 100,000 troops of Zhao Dan, the king of Qi, and Lu Tong, the envoy of the Hanjiang Festival, Li Chaoen and Song Yu, the king of Yong, led these more than 50,000 people, they really lost their ground...... All of them are recovered.

Even almost wiped out the Qi Kingdom!

On the day the news was transmitted back to Lin'an, the official family had already led hundreds of civil and military officials to go to the Taimiao Temple to worship and comfort the ancestors.

Now Zhao Dan and Lu Tong are still in the north, directly guarding there.

More than 30 years is not a long time, and it is by no means a short time, although the lost land has been recovered, but there are still many follow-up things to deal with.

Li Chaoen and Song Yu returned to the dynasty with a large team of men and horses, and financial and financial divisions.

At this moment, the official family summoned the civil and military ministers over to meet the matter.

At this moment, from far and near outside the hall, the voice of the eunuch's roll call continued to be heard-

"Xiao Qing enters the palace to meet you!"

"Xiao Qing enters the palace......"

"Xiao Qing ......"

All the civil and military officials in the palace were slightly stunned, and then as if they realized something, they all looked up at the officials on the dragon chair.

The official sat there quietly with a smile on his face.

Many people couldn't help but whisper to each other.

"It's hard to seal...... Seal the wife? ”

"When did these two become a couple? Why haven't I heard of it? ”

"It must be, think about it, how did that one come out of Hanjiang City?"

"Not a privy councilor?"

"The privy counsellor does not know his ......"

"I didn't expect to have this kind of relationship, so she was lucky this time."

"If you are born so high, you can count it as a bitter one......

Soon, the eunuch's voice came from outside the hall - Xiao Qing is here!

The gate of the Jiying Hall was opened.

The sound of the rain and a cool breeze came in at the same time.

The spirits of everyone in the main hall were slightly shocked.

They all looked back at the door.

Xiao Qing, who was tall and beautiful, wore a long white dress, handed the umbrella in her hand to the eunuch on the side, and entered.

Facing Zhu Zi of the Manchu Dynasty, Xiao Qing did not squint, and came to the front of the hall calmly, facing the official family on the dragon chair with official etiquette, and bowed his hand.

"Xiaguan Xiao Qing, I have seen the official family."

"No courtesy." The official looked at Xiao Qing with gentle eyes and smiled: "I announced that you are here today, because there is a happy event for you." ”

Many people in the palace showed such expressions.

Xiao Qing bent her knees slightly this time, and gave a woman's blessing to the official family, and said, "I don't know what the joy is?" ”

At this time, a young eunuch beside the official family stood up and unfolded a holy decree in his hand-

"Xiao Qing, the silver medal leader of the Wind Character Section of the Demon Prison Division, takes the order!"

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says ......"

As soon as these eight words came out, many people couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

The edict said...... Isn't it?

That's a bit of a big deal!

"In the past, Xiao Liang, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, was loyal and patriotic, and stood up in times of danger to assist the official family in rebuilding the Zhao State, turning the tide and supporting the building, but he was tragically victimized by thieves......"

The little eunuch was sprinkled, and after Balabala said a lot of Xiao Liang's great achievements, his voice also raised a few points-

"Today, posthumously crown Xiao Xianggong as the prince of Chu!"

Airplanes!

Above the court, there was an uncontrollable exclamation.

Even Xiao Qing stayed there.

"Xiao Yong, the son of Xiao Xianggong, has outstanding political achievements and is diligent and loves the people...... Posthumously crowned as the heir of the Chu State, now there is Xiao Qing, the county lord of the Chu State, virtuous and virtuous, loyal to the country...... By the lord of Chu State, she was crowned as the princess of Chu State! ”

Coax!

Now the whole hall completely exploded!

The official family announced Xiao Qing's visit, and many people had already guessed that it was necessary to give this once unfortunate and now lucky young girl a title, and many people even guessed that the official family might give Xiao Qing a county lord!

But I didn't expect that the official family would directly seal out a princess!!

In order to achieve this purpose, he actually made such a big turn and posthumously crowned Prince Xiao Liang and Xiao Xianggong...... It's just amazing.

Is there a precedent for this?

All right...... In this wayward official family, it doesn't matter if there is one.

After all, he was the one who could do such a thing as making Zhao Huan the eldest princess back then.

Is Xiao Liang qualified?

According to his merits back then, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a great achievement.

In the early years of the official family's reconstruction of the Zhao State, it was Xiao Liang and Xiao Xianggong who assisted the official family, and after being assassinated, Chu Xiang successfully ascended to the stage.

But if you want to talk about the king, it's still a little worse, let alone the most noble one-word king.

However, since the official family named Song Yu as the prince of Yizi, it can be regarded as completely letting go of themselves on the road of willfulness.

Although Xiao Xianggong should not be qualified, he can't stand the fact that someone gave birth to a good granddaughter!

There was a grandson-in-law who regained the lost territory for the Zhao State and fought back half of the country but was not very easy to seal, and was posthumously crowned king...... It seems understandable.

No one would jump out at such a time to seek misfortune.

Xiao Qing was also stunned.

Not happy, not excited, but completely at a loss.

Her grandfather, who has been dead for many years, was posthumously crowned king? My father has also become the heir? She was even crowned a princess?

This, what's going on?

She didn't even hear what the little eunuch said behind her too clearly, but she heard the last sentence clearly-

"Marry Xiao Qing, the princess of Chu State, and Song Yu, the king of Qi!"

Who is King Qi?

Xiao Qing's eyes widened suddenly.

But in the next moment, the words Song Yu came into her ears, and she quieted down again, her expression was dumbfounded, and she was a little at a loss.

The three words of King Qi shocked the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty even more jaw-dropping.

The entire hall fell into a dead silence for a while!

The little eunuch looked at Xiao Qing with a smile at this time: "Princess of Chu State, don't you thank you?" ”

Xiao Qing reacted, stepped forward respectfully, took the holy decree with both hands, and bowed deeply to the official family.

The official family smiled and said: "Princess of Chu State, you can call yourself the palace in the future!" ”

Hongu?

These two words are really a little unfamiliar to Xiao Qing, after all, even Zhao Huan would hardly call himself such a thing in front of her.

Chen Qun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was the first to stand up and salute Xiao Qing with a smile: "Congratulations to the princess of Chu Kingdom!" ”

The others also reacted at this moment and congratulated Xiao Qing one after another.

For a moment, the hall seemed to suddenly come to life again.

Xiao Qing was dazed but returned the courtesy decently.

It took a while for the temple to calm down.

At this time, the official family asked people to give Xiao Qing a seat.

Then the little eunuch unfolded another holy decree: "Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says!" ”

When everyone saw it, they still came?

Who is it this time?

King Qi?

Seriously, this title just scared everyone a bit.

Prince Yizi is already the top title in any dynasty.

Those founding heroes who opened up the territory can be named the king of the county with a different surname, which is almost the top.

Even Emperor Taizong ...... Back then, it was just the King of Jin and Kaifeng Mansion Yin.

Now this King of Qi ...... What does that mean exactly?

Could it be that the official family wants to follow the example of ancient times and divide the princes and kings?

"The Book of Rites Chen Qun ......"

Everyone was slightly stunned and looked in the direction of Chen Qun.

Chen Qun himself was also at a loss, and said in his heart, what is the matter with me?

The edict is not very long, listing some of Chen Qun's various political achievements over the years, from the local to the imperial court, focusing on his previous performance in the face of the envoys of the Qi State.

Finally, the little eunuch said in a loud voice: "Lead the prime minister...... Announce to the world, let the salty make it known! ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu directly ascended to the phase?

For many people, this was even more shocking than hearing the three words of King Qi.

It is not inconsistent with etiquette and law, but in all dynasties, there are almost no people who have directly ascended to the sky as prime ministers from the position of the Ministry of Rites.

Needless to say, Chen Qun's ability and talent go without saying, but under normal circumstances, if you want to become the prime minister, you have to go to the ministry first, right?

Even if it's a household!

Some really smart people can see it completely at this point.

Song Yu's department has completely risen!

Who made Chen Qun have a good relationship with Song Yu!

hugged the thigh of the young man who didn't look like an official at all, let alone a nobleman.

Look at Chen Qun, and then look at the original Wenhuacai.

The different circumstances in the heavens and on the ground are really embarrassing.

In life, personal ability is important, but fucking is even more important...... It's luck!

Chen Qun will be even more confused than Xiao Qing!

He couldn't have imagined that he would ascend to the sky in one step, without any warning, and become the first assistant of the dynasty!

Although he could immediately think that this must be related to Song Yu, his heart was still full of strong shock.

But after all, he has been an official for many years, and his temperament is still okay.

Immediately saluted the official family, thanked him, and at the same time, said that his talent and virtue were not enough, and he was not enough to take on this important responsibility.

is different from Xiao Qing, the princess of Chu who only has supreme honor but no real power, when she is the first assistant of the dynasty, she is the second person in the empire!

Not to mention the Shoufu who has just regained the lost territory and restored the territory to the peak state of the Zhao State.

This position is the supreme pursuit of all Wenchen throughout his life, but it is not so easy to sit on.

The official looked at Chen Qun and said: "Qing Zhongjun is patriotic, has both the style of a literati and the love of the people, just as the king of Qi said, the height of the temple is worried about the people, and the distance of the rivers and lakes is worried about the king...... Qing did it, and as the prime minister, he should naturally take it seriously! ”

This kind of evaluation comes out of the mouth of an emperor, and the weight can be imagined.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty once again keenly noticed that the official family was once again ...... The words "King of Qi" were mentioned!

Chen Qun bowed deeply again and thanked him.

Everyone looked at Chen Qun with envy, and many people were already thinking, what kind of congratulatory gift should be given when they turned around, so as not to disgust the new Shoufu lord, but also to leave a good impression in his mind?

There are also people who look at Xiao Qing, the princess of Chu who is sitting there quietly, and wonders if her daughter can get into a relationship.

At this time, the official said: "After a while, the privy envoy and the king of Qi will return in triumph, and the widow plans to go out of the city thirty miles to meet him, what advice do you have for the others?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the court suddenly responded like a cloud.

No one objected!

Although it seems that this Northern Expedition was not the work of Song Yu alone, there was also the strategic planning of the privy envoy, Zhao Dan, the king of Qi, and Lu Tong, the envoy of Hanjiang Jiedu, fought bloodily.

But everyone knows that if it weren't for the birth of that young man, let alone the Northern Expedition, even if the envoy of Qi came over before, Zhao Guo was afraid that he would have to endure painful torture and humiliation again!

It was this young man who eradicated the Yin God Cult internally and uprooted the treacherous Chu Qinghui and his family!

Even if the official family saw the old situation and gave Chu Xiang dignity after his death, the name of the traitorous minister, through the interpretation of those storytellers, is now widely spread throughout the Zhao Kingdom.

It was also this young man who went to Yazhou before the Liao State envoy, cooperated with the privy envoy Li Chaoen to quell the rebellion, blocked the strongest person in the enemy camp, and made Li Chaoen's plan to flood the rebels come true!

It was still this young man who went to Liao to participate in the grand event of all nations, not only to promote the prestige of Zhao to overseas, but also to refuse the favor and solicitation of the Western lord Liao Huang.

Even if everyone knew that it was a grand event belonging to the Liao Kingdom, the most brilliant one was Song Yu!

Before the Northern Expedition, it was Song Yu who led hundreds of people to dare to sweep the southern cities of Qi State, beheaded more than 20,000 people, and recovered more than 80,000 war horses.

During the Northern Expedition, he attacked the city all the way, forcing Emperor Qi to sign the Hejian Alliance, recovering all the lost territory, and bringing back people with unimaginable wealth...... It's still Song Yu!

Such a sky-high feat, let alone thirty miles out of the city, even if it is a hundred miles out of the city...... These civil and military officials are also willing!

Seeing that no one objected, the official family showed a smile on his face, and looked at Xiao Qing again: "Princess of Chu State, turn around to welcome the hero's triumph, and you will also be with the widow!" ”

……

……

The second day of August.

Clear.

Forty miles outside the city of Lin'an.

The flags are unfurled, the tents are undulating, and the oxen and horse convoys alone cannot see the end.

In addition to the large amount of property compensated by the Qi State, there are also those "war criminals" of the Qi State in the list given by the Demon Prison Division.

The number of this group is not large, only a few dozen.

It's been too long.

More than 30 years have passed, and the old and old generals of the Qi State have died.

Most of the remaining ones are past the age of sixties.

Originally, they were all high-ranking and powerful bigwigs in the army, and they were deeply loved by the countrymen, and they lived an arrogant and lascivious life.

Now because of the defeat of the Qi State, he has become a prisoner of the ranks.

Many people can't accept this gap, and after learning the news, they choose to break themselves off as soon as possible.

The rest of them did not have the courage to commit suicide.

As a result, life is worse than death along the way!

Because among the people who returned with the team, there were also the second emperor of the year, as well as those harem concubines and emperors who were humiliated.

This group of people hated Qi Guo to the core, and it was unforgettable!

Now that I finally got the opportunity, I can't wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood as Song Yu wrote!

Even if he didn't dare to really beat people to death because of Li Chaoen's order, no one could stop all kinds of torture he tried his best.

Bingqing was silently observing all the way.

Following the team from north to south, the banshee, who had seen all kinds of human affairs, was now acting more and more like a person.

Although no one knows the identity of this beautiful woman, they all regard her as Song Yu's person.

Heroes love beauties, His Royal Highness King Yong...... No, it should be King Qi, young and heroic, isn't it too normal to have a few stunning women around him?

Not to mention that King Qi has always been separated from this woman along the way, abide by the etiquette and law, and do not cross the thunder pool by half a step!

This kind of determination is even more admirable.

In the carriage.

Li Chaoen was a little sleepy and drowsy.

Song Yu, who was in the same car with him, was "nowhere to be found".

The old man had long been accustomed to this kind of scene.

I know that my children have a mysterious and special way of cultivating.

At this moment, someone outside said: "Privy envoy, the tent has been packed, please ask the privy envoy and the king of Qi to move over and rest." ”

Although the real canonization decree has not yet been issued, everyone in the entire team already knows that Song Yu has been named King of Qi!

This honor is certainly enviable, but everyone also takes it for granted.

However, Song Yu, as always, gets along with everyone "full of rivers and lakes".

The old man opened his eyes, looked at Song Yu who appeared beside him without warning, smiled, and asked outside, "Have the two elders gone over to rest?" ”

"Lord Hui, it's been properly settled."

Along the way, Li Chaoen also took great care of the two former emperors and the father and brother of the official family.

Thanks to his attitude, the two old men did not encounter too many white eyes.

Of course, there is no respect for it.

It's basically in a state of being ignored.

The old man glanced at Song Yu: "King Qi first, please?" ”

Song Yu smiled a little helplessly and said, "Don't make fun of me, old man." ”

Knowing that the official family named Xiao Qing as the princess of Chu and gave him a marriage, although Song Yu was a little entangled, he also knew that this kind of emperor's marriage was impossible to refuse.

He also has a good impression of Xiao Qing, but in the past, he was worried that the cultivation path was too long, and he was afraid that she would not be able to keep up.

I never really showed my heart.

The old man was overjoyed.

plans to set up a top "team with a baby", and along the way, they are chattering there every day to study the list, and even the teaching Confucianism and martial arts instructors have been found.

The reason is that although the king of Qi is both civil and military, as a father, he may not have so much patience to teach his children.

We can't let the little prince and the little prince and princess be wronged.

made Song Yu cry and laugh.

As soon as the eight characters were written, the old man couldn't wait to plan what would happen twenty years later.

If it weren't clear where the official family would seal Song Yu, the king of Qi, to, maybe even the king of Qi's royal plan would be able to give Zhang Luo out.

Helping the old man get down from the carriage, he saw Huang Teng, Zhao Fengqing, Matsumoto Zhi and others guarding outside, and said with a smile: "Although the holy decree has not yet been issued, each of you will definitely not be able to escape from a general, so there is no need to guard in the car."

Huang Teng showed a sincere smile, the scorching sun above his head had no effect on him, and said: "Brother, I don't want to be a general, I just want to follow my brother." ”

At this time, Song Yu's eyes fell on a young man, and a smile appeared on his face: "Erlang, how do you feel?" ”

Zhang Erlang, who was riding on a horse, turned over and dismounted, came to Song Yu, and scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Brother Wang, can you talk to them, don't call me General Zhang?" ”

Because of his expertise in horse raising and Song Yu's care, this kid was named the captain of the fifth grade, and it is normal for him to be called a general.

"Work hard, become a big official in the future, and when I turn around, I will ask people to find a feng shui treasure for your parents, and when the time comes, you will be the greatest pride of your family!" In the future, marry a few more mothers-in-law and spread out more! Song Yu patted Zhang Erlang's shoulder and said with a smile.

Then a group of people entered the tent to rest.

The weather in August, especially on sunny days like this, is just as hot as hell.

All the way from Jiankang Mansion to this side, there were already many Qi war criminals who were frightened and frightened, but they couldn't withstand this high temperature and died.

There are also many people in Zhao Guo who suffer from heat stroke.

Fortunately, there are enough doctors in the team, and they use various important preparations to relieve the heat, and now they are about to arrive in Lin'an Mansion, and everyone is also in good spirits.

……

……

In a relatively luxurious tent, the two emperors sat opposite each other.

There were also many concubines and emperors in the tent, all of whom were now old.

Even the emperor, who was only seven or eight years old at the time, is now in her forties, and years of hard work and fear have long wiped out the original nobility on their bodies.

They all have white temples, even if they are wearing excellent clothes, their temperament is like that of a village woman.

At this moment, an emperor looked at the relatively young old man and said, "Brother Emperor, you said that when you go back this time, how will Brother Jiu arrange for us?" ”

When the old man heard this, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he said, "As long as you can live." ”

Emperor Ji's eyes widened: "We are royalty!" ”

A concubine who was over sixty years old on the side looked at the emperor who spoke and said, "Haven't you woken up yet?" The fact that we can come back is all the credit of the king and the privy envoy of the people, and it is also the credit of today's officials! It is a great fortune to be able to return to your homeland alive in your lifetime without having to cover your face after death, but as for the so-called royal rich life, don't think about it. ”

The emperor Ji said a little unconvinced: "We haven't done anything wrong, we have suffered so many years of miserable life, if today is my ninth brother, why can't I want to be rich?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the two old men and the concubine were silent.

Rich...... Why wouldn't they want to?

But so far, except for hearing some news about the official family's canonization of the prince of Chu, the princess of Chu, the promotion of prime minister, and the shocking king of Qi, there is not a single word about them.

It's as if there were no such people in this triumphant team!

Many people are actually a little dissatisfied in their hearts.

As the Emperor said just now—we didn't do anything wrong!

As a nobleman of heaven, he has suffered for decades, and now he has finally come to the bitterness, and he is a royal family, can't he still enjoy it?

At this time, the Emperor Taishang, who was already in his eighties, sighed, and everyone looked at him.

To be honest, although many emperors are full of dissatisfaction with this father or grandfather, everyone knows that only when the emperor is alive can their lives be better.

Anyway, this is the father of the official family!

"You guys...... Get the idea! The old man was old, his speech was somewhat unclear, and his speech was also very slow, and he said word by word: "Zhao Guo is actually dead." ”

Everyone was stunned.

The old man continued: "Today's Zhao State, although it is also called Zhao, it was re-established by Brother Jiu relying on his own ability, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the founder of the country. ”

"After you go back, he will treat you as relatives, and you must be low-key and humble, don't treat yourself as a nobleman anymore, and don't be arrogant and arrogant, and make Brother Jiu unhappy."

"Look at this situation, after going back, life will not be too bitter, at least a thousand times stronger than in Qi country, but don't have too much luxury."

"Brother Jiu is a master of great talent, different from ...... Me, and his brother. ”

As soon as these words came out, the inside of the tent suddenly fell silent.

Only the emperor still murmured, "But I'm his sister, I'm a princess!" ”

The Emperor smiled: "Yes, you are a princess, but now people ...... There are also new princesses, although there are not many of them, but their status is much higher than yours, sober up, don't take yourself too seriously. ”
