The next day was the early dynasty, and Ren Tianqi wrote a letter to ask for orders to go south.

The gold lord was very happy after the royal view, and the court allowed all the invitations, and additionally crowned Ren Tianqi as the Longwei concubine of the Dajin Kingdom, appointed Xu Huai Tongyang Sizhou Jiedu envoy, and awarded the town of Nan Tianwei General; and added the county lord as the Fengyin county lord of the Dajin Kingdom, Dongxue as the county lord of Minghui, Ren Songde as a benevolent and righteous duke, and appointed Tianhui as the Tongyang Shuangtaishou, and rewarded 10,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver. Those who have meritorious service with the army are rewarded, and the gold lord also rewards all the soldiers outside the city with a jar of wine and a pound of beef. Ren Tianqi was overjoyed.

After retiring from the court, the gold lord set up a banquet in the Ji'an Palace.

The gold lord suffered this catastrophe, which was tantamount to a serious illness, and his mind was exhausted, and his face was only full of the excitement of the victor, and there was a slight flush on his black and thin face. Ren Tianqi looked at it in his eyes, and his heart was also infinitely merciful, an elderly man in his sixties, devoted himself to the people, diligent in government, had a rough life, and lost his son in old age, but was not understood and respected by the world, whose fault should this be? Is the sky biased or not?

The gold lord took a sip of wine, instructed the chamberlain to fill Ren Tianqi, and said with a smile: "Tianqi, you drink more, this is the best thousand-year-old ginseng brewed medicinal wine from the north, which is good for your body and bones." I'm old, I can't drink more, just a small cup at a time to satisfy my cravings. ”

Ren Tianqi wanted to get up and thank you.

The gold lord raised his hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "You don't want so many courtesies, there are no outsiders here, let's not talk about the courtesies of the monarch and ministers for the time being, just gossip between the family!"

Ren Tianqi nodded and sat down.

The gold lord smiled: "You, this time I went north to quell the chaos and rescued the driver, I worked hard and became ill, and I was very moved in my heart. There are many people in the palace, and some things are not easy to say, so I can only give you some rewards. In this Ji'an Palace, I will chat with you and talk about family life. Speaking from the heart, you didn't think about coming over to help me sit in the capital?"

Ren Tianqi arched his hand and said: "Back to the saint, when the minister got married at the beginning of the year, the two princes went to Renjiabao in person, and they also told the saint about his care. The minister also had this idea, but considering that the minister's clan relatives are all over Suzhou and Yangzhou, there are many people with mixed hearts, and it is inevitable that there will be people who are not in harmony and leak secrets and fear of harming the clan relatives, which is one of them; second, the minister also has a rod and scale in his heart, and now it is still Jin is strong and Song is weak, and the saint is Shengming, but this still can't change the situation that Song and Jin divide the territory and rule across the river. ”

The gold lord nodded, smiled and gestured to continue.

Ren Tianqi said: "The saint understands, this Song and Jin battles are not one or two battles that can be ended, the two sides are evenly matched, and the two sides are fighting a protracted war, fighting for the foundation of the country; on the surface, it is to see who has strong military strength and who has the power, and who can fight across the Huai River is who eats whom, but in fact, the battle of Jin and Song is a competition of national strength and financial strength. The Huai River between the Jin and Song dynasties was nothing more than a natural barrier that was used to separate the two sides. ”

The gold lord sighed and said: "That is, we have crossed the Huai River, but there is no follow-up army, and there is no grain and grass, but we cannot occupy it;

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "Therefore, the minister privately believes that the Song Dynasty is weak and the Jin is strong, and the Song Dynasty will not take the initiative to provoke war, and now there are ministers who lead the troops to sit on the Huai River to ensure that the southern frontier is safe; The minister is a foreign minister, and he cannot be close to the national government in Kyoto, so as not to gossip, but the minister can echo each other from afar and assist the saint. ”

The gold lord nodded, and said with a smile: "You are right, and you can't be too selfish as an elder, right, you have your difficulties, let's talk about this later! I heard that Feng Yatou gave birth to a daughter, what is the name?"

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "Back to the saint, not yet, the family custom says that it will be decided until the child is one year old." ”

The gold lord nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, you Han people claim to be a state of etiquette, and respect the way of Confucius and Mencius, and you are often quite particular about your every move, but it is too complicated, and there are too many concerns, not too good!

The gold lord looked fascinated.

Ren Tianqi knew that the two grown sons of the Holy Lord had died before the Holy Lord ascended the throne, and the newborn son was only three years old. The Shengshang is now past the year of Jiazi, and the crown prince is still young, and the king of Zhengnan and the king of Junan have no children under their knees, which is the root cause of the uncertain pulse of the emperor of the Dajin Kingdom and everyone can steal the throne. The saint is melancholy in every way, and he can't wait to have such a heroic son like Ren Tianqi.

The gold lord smiled: "When it is convenient, take the child to Beijing to me to hug, how to say, the child also has to call me grandpa." I also have some small things for the children, and I will take them with me when I go back!"

Ren Tianqi nodded, looking at the gold lord with a kind face. At this moment, the Holy Lord is a loving elder, it is really rare, I have never seen such a kind gold master.

The gold lord said with a smile: "What are the requirements of the horse returning to the south to quell the rebellion this time? You are pouring out this time, the rear is empty, and you still need to guard against a sneak attack in Lin'an; In addition, I heard that the Jiaodong Mintuo is all due to a person named Qiu Chuji." I heard that this person is indeed capable, and founded a sectarian church, which gathered 90,000 people in less than two years, and such a crowd of troublemakers, the uncrowned king, is really the root of the world's troubles, and should be resolutely removed. But how did I hear that this person also has several friends with the Horse Master, known as the North Mouth in the 'South Sword and North Mouth', and is as famous as the Horse Master!"

Ren Tianqi hurriedly left the table and said: "The minister has indeed had several encounters with this person. But the minister will never dare to bend the law for personal gain, and the minister will definitely arrest this person to face Beijing when he returns to the south this time, and his life and death will be determined by the saint!"

The gold lord nodded and said with a smile: "Master Horse, please get up." I don't mean you to kill him. I want you to persuade and persuade him, so that he can see the form of the world clearly, so that he can use it for my great gold. The one who can be on par with the master of the horse must be a talent, I cherish it! I also heard the king of Ju Nan say that this person is smart and capable, well-versed in the past and the present, and not confined to the world and pedantic!"

Ren Tianqi nodded.

The gold lord said with a smile: "I heard that the master of the horse is not very satisfied with the post of Xuzhou appeasement envoy given by Lin'an, and he said that if he really feels that he is not good enough, he will resign and move his family to Kyoto, and you will assist the prince of Zhengnan to sit in Nanjing." The old prince is already more than half a hundred people, and his health is not very good, I am thinking about sending a competent person to assist!"

Ren Tianqi said: "Back to the saint, the minister didn't want to accept the reward from the south that year, but after the minister discussed with the old prince, he felt that receiving it was more beneficial to my big gold than not receiving it, so the minister accepted the order." Now, the minister has a close relationship with the history of Yangzhou Thorn, the squire of the military department and the master of the household department. ”

The Holy Lord was greatly satisfied, and said with a smile: "Okay, after the deed is completed, I will give another reward." Master Horse, do you have enough military strength to return to the south, and how much military strength is left in the north?"

Ren Tianqi replied: "The minister went north with a total of 18,000 Xuzhou soldiers, and there are less than 8,000 left; now there are 30,000 new rebels, and there are less than 7,000 people from the old troops of Xu Tengyan and Sanzhou!"

The saint nodded, and said: "All of them are the elite divisions of my Dajin Kingdom, and the losses are not small, and I will make up for you with another 10,000 military horses and 100,000 loads of grain." Also, if you look at these 30,000 rebels, you need 50,000 troops, so how many more troops and horses do you need to bring back to the south?"

Ren Tianqi got up and said on the ground: "Shengshang, but just to guard the rebels and pacify Jiaodong, only need to send another 20,000 troops, now Jiaodongchen has nearly 100,000 horse infantry troops busy intercepting;

The gold lord was overjoyed, got up and said with a smile: "How sure is the horse master?"

Ren Tianqi said: "Lin'an sees that there are soldiers in our country everywhere, and he must want to take advantage of the fire to rob and make some moves, and he is already a famous division; he only needs to order the old prince to besiege Jinan Pass without fighting, and persist for several months, so as to drag on the change, not only do not need to move the sword soldiers, and wait for the rebels to rebel to chaos themselves, but also can use the chaos to calm down and induce them to send troops to the north; the minister will lead the army to go to the civil strife first, pacify Jiaodong, and then bypass Jinan Pass and take Tongyang directly, and it will be successful. ”

The gold lord nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then how many more soldiers and horses do you need to do this?"

Ren Tianqi said: "Fifty thousand horse infantry is enough. ”

The gold lord laughed and said: "Okay, come here, send a message to Uncle Guo, and order him to raise the 50,000 ironclad troops who came to Beijing, and he will go south with the general tomorrow." ”

The chamberlain answered.

The gold lord filled a cup and said with a smile: "Okay, for the success of the horse master, I drank this cup full!"

The two of them drank it all.

The gold lord said with a smile: "After taking Tongyang Erzhou, the rebels will be stationed in Jiangbei forever, and they will be ordered to guard the border; 50,000 ironclad troops will be stationed in Nanjing to assist the old prince in Nanjing to defend Kyoto, and they can also be your backup!"

Ren Tianqi nodded and accepted the order.

The gold lord got up again and took the wine, and said with a smile: "What does the master of the horse think of this wine?"

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "Sweet and soft, the best of the best." ”

The gold lord nodded and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this is not the first time that the horse master has drunk!"

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "This is the tribute of the world, the best of the best, how dare the minister be lucky enough to get it!"

The gold lord sat down, shook his hand and said with a smile: "Today, with Qi'er, you are facing each other, but you are just doing your best to be an elder, and you can't talk about the way of a monarch and a minister!

Ren Tianqi panicked when he heard this, sweat soaked his clothes, and he didn't know what to do. Shocked, Ren Tianqi's illness was cured.

Seeing Ren Tianqi's embarrassment, the gold lord laughed and said, "Qi'er, this skill is naturally a good thing, but you must not act recklessly!"

Ren Tianqi hurriedly left his seat and fell to the ground, not even daring to come out.

The gold lord stepped forward and said: "Qi'er, I am not a tyrant, nor a faint king, nor am I nostalgic for this so-called Jiangshan Sheji. When I was young, I longed to sit on the throne of today, and I thought that this would be an earth-shattering feat. But now that I look back, hey, I'm old, and I'm no longer able to do it. Look at the old and the young around me, I really longed for the chic time of traveling the world in the past! Qi'er, do you know the story of the Seven Spice Treasure Car?"

Ren Tianqi said: "I know a little bit." ”

The gold lord picked up Ren Tianqi and said wistfully: "Think about how brilliant that Qixiang Bao Che was in the past! Hey, I don't force you or embarrass you, Qi'er, if you have time, come to Shangdu to take a look at my old bones!"

Ren Tianqi choked up and said, "Why is the saint so pessimistic?"

The gold lord smiled: "The years are urging people to get old!"
