Chapter Ninety-Six: Reward
Huizong Zhao Ji raised his head and sighed: "I sometimes think about it, although I am the Son of Heaven, sometimes I can't help myself. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info For example, this time, let you hide your identity and wear a mask. You have protected me today, and I will naturally reward you, but I cannot reward you openly. Once this is blatant, don't you tell the world that you are wearing masks and beside me? Therefore, I hope Aiqing can understand me. ”
Zhou Tong led everyone: "It is a blessing for me to be able to serve the emperor!"
Zhao Ji listened and said, "Aiqing is loyal, I know." Now I speak the words, but only the words of my heart. It's not too early, you have something to eat with me, and rest early! Tomorrow, I'll arrange for you to go back, so let's do it first!"
Zhou Tong and the others nodded: "Yes!"
After Zhou Dong's brother and apprentice had dinner, they sat down together for a while. First of all, Zhou Tong thanked his senior brother Jintai for his help, and Jintai smiled: "You and I are both teachers, so there is no need to say some polite words." We should have not seen each other for a few years, and I am very happy that my junior brother can still think of me. Today, our tacit understanding is also very good!"
Zhou Tong said: "Mainly because you have Senior Brother here, if it weren't for Senior Brother here, I wouldn't have taken such a risk to lure the snake out of the hole!"
Jintai laughed at this time: "But it's not a snake that was brought out today!"
Zhou Tong nodded and suppressed his voice: "Senior brother, since we all know, we don't have to talk about it!"
Jintai looked at Lin Chong, Shi Wengong and Pang He at this time. said to Zhou Tong: "Your three apprentices, I am so envious, talented and intelligent, I don't know when I will receive such an apprentice." ”
Zhou Tong said: "Senior brother is busy garrisoning on the frontier, but he just doesn't have time. My three apprentices are good, but I am also busy with the prohibition of military objects, and sometimes I think about it, I am worthy of being their master!"
Jin Tai said: "Senior brother, this is a mistake! Most of their current martial arts achievements come from your mention, and they also have your shadow." Martial arts pay attention to gradual progress, and it is not advisable to be in a hurry. Now they all have a very good foundation, which must be inseparable from your guidance. Next, as long as they are allowed to play their own characteristics, they will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. ”
Zhou Tong smiled slightly: "Thank you, Senior Brother Jiyan!"
Jin Tai said: "You and I should rest early, tomorrow, I will resign to the emperor early." Recently, the Western Xia soldiers have been about to move, and I'm really a little worried. ”
Pang He returned to the room, lay on the bed, and felt a little unable to sleep, so he looked out the window, a bright moon hung high, it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, Pang He remembered Tianjie again, and thought of Su Ying. With a lot of thoughts, he looked down at his feet again. The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground. Raise your head to look at the bright moon and bow your head to think of your hometown. This mood, like this ancient poem, is expressed briefly. This bright moon has arrived, but unfortunately there is a little less wine, the breeze is coming, and the thoughts are pervasive.
The next day, it came quietly, Pang He was a little tired, plus he slept late, got up late, freshened up, ate a little casually, and went to see the master and uncle and brother not far from the next door.
When he walked in the door, Pang He saw that his master Zhou Tong, Shi Bo Jintai, and senior brothers Lin Chong and Shi Wengong were already sitting together, chatting, drinking tea, and when they saw Pang He coming, they also beckoned him to sit down.
Zhou Tong said to Pang He, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Pang He nodded and replied, "Well, I slept late!"
Zhou Tong said: "Yesterday, there were a lot of things that happened, and they were indeed tired. ”
Pang He asked, "Master, what were you just talking about?"
Zhou Tong smiled and said, "It's nothing, just talk about some family things." And your uncle, guide your two brothers. ”
At this time, Huizong arrived, and the five people immediately greeted the worship. Zhao Ji said: "Zhong Aiqing, flat, just sit!" Then, step by step, he slowly walked to the chair and sat down: "Gonggong Li, you all go down!"
After the eunuchs left, Zhao Ji said: "In the past few days, the Aiqing have worked hard, especially yesterday. I am very fortunate to have you! I said last night that I must reward you with something, so today I specially brought two tokens to Zhou Aiqing and Jin Aiqing. I know that there will always be some disputes in this court, so I will give you two gold medals for avoiding death today. Seeing this gold medal, if I come in person, if necessary, I can save you from death. However, this gold medal must not be made public until it is absolutely necessary. As for Zhou Aiqing, your three apprentices, I, will give each of you a golden sword. Although this golden sword is short, it sharpens iron like clay, and it is really of the highest quality. I hope you can carry the golden sword with you, and remember that this Great Song is also in your hearts. Understood?"
Zhou Tong and the others bowed and thanked them, and put the reward into their arms.
Zhao Ji said: "I, I suddenly feel old and scared. Especially after a series of events yesterday, I was always worried about something, and there was an inexplicable panic. If you are born into an ordinary family, it is a happy thing to watch your children grow up day by day. But I am the Son of Heaven, I only have one throne, and I don't know how to trust it in the hands of my own emperor. I am biased, biased towards the future prince, and it is impossible for all of them to be treated equally, and my throne will be divided equally among each prince. Last night, I thought a lot, and I thought, if something really happened to me and I left, then what would my princes do. I suddenly felt so tired, thinking about things I hadn't thought about before. I remembered when I used to be King Duan, how happy I was, carefree, and able to do what I liked. But since he became the emperor, he found that the happiness was gone. When I watched a group of ministers talk and talk about state affairs every day, I found out what these crooked things had to do with me? As long as I sit on the dragon chair, you will give me what you have to do, I just need to watch, and I will be happy to see you do a good job. But yesterday, it occurred to me that after I left, what will I be like? The same as when the first emperor left, or is it different? What do you think it will be?"
Jin Tai said: "The emperor is blessed with all the heavens, it will definitely be fine!"
Zhou Tong said: "Your Majesty, since the matter has passed, there is no need to think about it, whether there is a way to come to the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty will be prosperous." ”
Zhao Ji said: "They all say long live the emperor, but is there really long live the emperor?" I know what you mean, and I know what you mean. I am also glad that the court has you. You've been here for a few days, and it's time to go back!"
