Yanyun 16 states recovered, the Great Song Dynasty did not have time to be busy, countless people in Bianliang wept tears, the city celebrated; Song Huizong specially went to the temple to worship the ancestors, and then gave a banquet to the ministers in Yingxiang Pond. Song Huizong and Empress Zheng are seated in the Yingxiangchi Palace, on the left is the Zai deacon's attendants headed by Wang Huang, and on the right is the prince, clan, and Nanban officials led by the crown prince Zhao Huan.

  Zhou Yuan's 40,000-strong army arrived in Hebei, and together with Xin Xingzong and others, 70,000 people, it took more than half a month to defeat a 2,000-strong defense of Luanzhou, which was almost incomparable with the 10,000-strong defense of Danzhou by 10,000 people in six days and the 10,000 people of Wang Ping.

  This time Du Wanche and Su Yuanjing were on the front line, and they truthfully reported the battle situation of each department, and the monarchs and ministers of the court knew what was going on with their own people, and because of this, everyone realized the terrible way of Zhao Kai and Yang Zhi joining forces, and now the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to try to make this pair of gold together. Some people proposed that Yang Zhi should not be allowed to grasp the power of the army and serve as the squire of the military department; this proposal was directly rejected by the bigwigs in the court, and when King Yun returned, Yang Zhi must be at the border.

  Didn't Zhao Kai want Yang Zhi to know a state? Agreed, even if the crown prince Zhao Huan didn't do it during the discussion, he said that Yang Zhi's qualifications were not enough, and the prime minister Li Bangyan showed his courage, and everything was done according to the proposal of Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, as far as Yang Zhi knew Yingzhou, to meet the desire of the seed master to return to Weizhou, Zong Ze should not come back, and he knew that Ulzhou, as long as Zhao Kai came back alone, it would be good to be peaceful in the future. Knowing that there was no chaos in all walks of life in the north, Li Bangyan's mood was much better, and he even sang a small order at the banquet, Li Bangyan was about to return to his seat, and Empress Zheng suddenly asked: "Where has King Yun arrived?"

  Li Bangyan was very annoyed, he knew that he would encounter this problem, and he said that he would not sing this small order, but he could not go back if he retreated, Li Bangyan thought about it and said: "King Yun is in Puyang and other kinds of privy envoys, so it was delayed for two days, and he arrived at Mengjindu yesterday, and he should have crossed the Yellow River today, and it is estimated that he can return to Bianliang tomorrow." ”

  Empress Zheng asked again: "How many men does King Yun bring?"

  "Five hundred rides. Li Bangyan immediately understood what Empress Zheng meant, she wanted to get these five hundred people away, but Li Bangyan didn't dare to talk nonsense easily, since Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, had the assistance of Zong Ze and others, every move was unexpected, so he just reported a number according to the official document. Taiwei Gao Yu suddenly said: "When these 500 people return to Bianliang, the minister will let them stay in the barracks, and never let them disturb the people." ”

  No one squeaked, when did Gao Yu be diligent, this was clearly a pre-prepared script, but Prime Minister Wang Hao and Shangshu Fang Qiong of the Ministry of War suddenly thought of why Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, wrote five hundred horsemen on the official document, instead of five hundred guards, just waiting for this trick. Five hundred horsemen are true to protect Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, but they may not be soldiers, maybe they are heroes in the rivers and lakes, or even the dart masters of the dart game, Wang Hao grinned, amazing.

  The crown prince Zhao Huan has been paying attention to Wang Huang's movements, and immediately asked, "Does the prince think it's inappropriate?"

  Wang Hao is now at odds with Zhao Huan, and even dismissed Zhao Huan's son from his official position, Zhao Huan's question made everyone's eyes focus on Wang Huang; Wang Hao also saw Fang Qiong's actions, smiled and said: "Lord Fang must be the same as I thought, Yanshan Mansion and the post stations along the way have not made it clear whether these five hundred people are in the army, so it is not good to comment." ”

  Fang Qiong said very normally: "King Yun's protection duty is not in Yanshan Mansion, so it's not surprising that the official document didn't make it clear. This is not a big deal, when the time comes, if it is a soldier, it will be arranged to enter the barracks according to what Captain Gao said, and if it is a civilian, he will urge King Yun to take care of his subordinates, so that the Imperial City Division and Kaifeng Mansion will pay more attention. ”

  He Su smiled slightly, he thought of this possibility when he saw the official letter, but Liang Shicheng boasted that he was smart, and he didn't see the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves; the banquet suddenly quieted down, if Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, brought five hundred dead soldiers from the rivers and lakes into Beijing, no one dared to guarantee what would happen later. Song Huizong waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "When King Yun comes back, how should I reward him?"

  Yes, King Yun will arrive tomorrow, and now he hasn't even discussed the matter of rewarding, if he doesn't reward him, how can he explain it to the government and the opposition?

  Li Bangyan took this opportunity to slip back to his seat, and directly picked up the wine glass and drank, his heart was clear, as long as he didn't say it, then it would be the private matter of Song Huizong and King Yun's father and son, and it would be up to them to give more or less. But the crown prince Zhao Huan and King Jing Zhao Qi couldn't let such a scene appear, in case Zhao Kai made an inappropriate request, Song Huizong agreed as soon as he was happy, and then there would be endless trouble.

  "Yes, not only King Yun, but also Tong Taiwei, Cai Taibao, and Wang Xiang, all of them have worked hard for the Northern Expedition, and they have to think about it, so it is better to postpone King Yun's affairs and reward them together when the time comes. Zheng Xiang said that Zheng Xiang was the younger brother of Empress Zheng, and he was usually relatively low-key, but today's words were amazing, and Empress Zheng was full of emotion; Prince Zhao Huan immediately said: "What Lord Zheng said is very true, Tong Taiwei, Su Taiwei, and Cai Taibao have not yet returned to Beijing, so they can be postponed, and the sons are willing to go out of the city to meet the third brother." ”

  Wang Shiyong, the secretary of the provincial young eunuch, said: "You should ask the king to go with you." ”

  Wang Shiyong is Zhang Bangchang's person, Wang Hao scolded in his heart, why don't you let Zhang Bangchang go, so that he is put in front, and he is blamed by Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, in vain; Taichang Shaoqing Weng Yanshen is Zhao Kai's teacher, and he didn't deal with Wang Shiyong, and he laughed when he heard the words: "Since you don't plan to give a reward, why bother to welcome it, when the time comes, it will not be beautiful for the people to have a false impression." ”

  Weng Yanshen is not unreasonable, the prince and the first assistant went out of the city to greet each other, I don't know how many people will guess the reward for Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, when the time comes, there will be nothing, and the people and Shilin don't know what it will become. Bai Shizhong, the servant of Zhongshu, was the teacher of the crown prince Zhao Huan, so he naturally didn't want his disciple to be embarrassed by a petty official, so he asked coldly: "According to Lord Weng's opinion, what should it be?"

  Weng Yanshen said impassionedly: "King Yun is filial piety, what he values is the saint and the people of the Central Plains, and he will not take the reward to heart at all. ”

  Bai Shizhong was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while, Li Bangyan almost screamed, everyone knew that it was really not good to reward as King Yun, according to the current situation in the court, even the reward would not satisfy King Yun Zhao Kai; but Weng Yan was stunned and said that King Yun went out to honor Song Huizong and didn't care about the reward, even Queen Zheng couldn't refute it, and it also created public opinion for King Yun not to accept the reward in the future. And once King Yun did not accept the reward, Zhao Huan and Wang Hao were pushed to the forefront of public opinion.
