"Xiucai! Abacus! Chen Dong!"
He looked at the civil servants who were accompanying the prince in surprise, laughed and rushed towards them, giving them a Wang bear hug one by one, regardless of whether it was in line with etiquette or not.
Because of his cousin's past experience, Wang Erlang held back this time, and every one of them was severely beaten.
"I said Aba, have you eaten any mythical beasts in the northwest in the past few years? How come you have caught up with me in stature?"
Qin Abacus made two head gestures, which seemed to be correct. You must know that this guy was half a head shorter than him three years ago. Now he is about the same weight as him. Moreover, he is only taller but not fat, so he has a His nickname is "Bamboo Pole", but this guy is not only tall, but also physically strong, which is totally unreasonable!
"Haha, it's not just mythical beasts. I've caught and eaten real dragons and phoenixes."
Qin Abacus didn't take Wang Erlang's joke seriously, but it frightened the crowd of people watching. Some people knelt down on the spot. They really believed it.
"Haha...you kid, you have been practicing at the border for three years and you are still so out of tune."
The scholar joked, he still looked like a thin scholar, but the circles under his eyes were darker, and his steps were sloppy, as if he would fall down if he was blown by the wind.
Wang Zhi had seen this look before. It was the first time he took Wei Guozhong out of the pile of women, and he looked like this.
Wang Erlang said sadly: "Scholar, I need money and tell my brother, if you continue like this, I'm afraid my brother will give away the white-haired man to the black-haired man!"
Chen Dong took over with a smile: "This is because I knew you were coming back, so I restrained myself for a few days. Abacus and I had already planned to prepare his funeral arrangements a few days ago."
"I'm tired of being famous, I'm tired of being famous!"
The scholar sighed and everyone laughed.
"By the way, why are you here too?" Wang Zhi asked with a smile.
"This is our job!"
Seeing that Wang Zhi still looked confused, the scholar explained: "We have been expelled from the Imperial Academy long ago, and now we are scribes in Kaifeng Mansion."
Wang Zhi's smile paused, "Ah, this... I hurt you."
Qin Abacus continued: "Haha... Aba, you don't understand. It's too late for other students to envy us."
Wang Zhi was puzzled, "Why is this? Aren't you all expelled from the Imperial Academy?"
"Haha, then what is the purpose of going to Taixue?"
As Qin Abacus spoke, he raised his eyebrows to signal Wang Zhi to look at the prince Zhao Huan behind him.
Wang Erlang understood. After learning martial arts, he became a confidant of the emperor's family. Now he has become the confidant of the future emperor. Why should he go to a higher education?
Zhao Huan also came back at this time. He took Wang Zhi's hand and wanted to get into the chariot together.
"Hey, cousin, have fun with the people."
Wang Erlang pulled him back with his backhand, walked to a horse, handed over the reins and said, "Now, take this one."
"That position is too high. Sitting there for a long time will keep you away from the people."
"Okay, listen to you!"
Zhao Huan took the reins, ignored the obstruction of random officials, and rode on the tall horse with a lift from Wang Zhi.
Wang Zhi also walked up to Dabai and climbed onto the horse's back with just a few toes. Fortunately, Dabai was gifted with a tall horse. It was no different for Wang Erlang to ride an ordinary little native horse than to ride a donkey.
"Everyone, please go back. I'll come see you tomorrow."
Wang Erlang shouted to the people, and he seemed to see a familiar face again, but he couldn't find it again when he returned to the inspection room.
He had seen many of the people here, and a few acquaintances were so normal that Wang Erlang didn't pay attention, crossed his legs with Da Bai, and walked forward.
Two young men in the crowd hid behind the tall man, secretly sighing at the danger. The moment their eyes met, Miss Cao clearly saw a strange color in his eyes.
"What a fool, huh!" Miss Cao said angrily when she saw that the man had already ridden away.
"Little lady, everyone has left, do we want to follow?" Xiaoru asked, holding her hand.
"Well, let's go and see how long he can keep pretending."
Miss Cao and Xiao Ru were holding hands as they moved forward with the crowd, their eyes fixed on the man who had grown some stubble and had a tougher face.
Wang Zhida immediately stepped forward to stand side by side with his cousin and asked, "Why haven't you met the people from the Xixia Li family?"
"I sent someone over to say hello, but they disappeared here. There were too many people."
"What does the court say about the Li family?"
"Give him a mansion, an official position, and wealth. He will be raised in Bianjing. He will be monitored for the time being and restricted from leaving the city."
"Well, that's right. There's also Li Ren'ai, the old prince of the Li family. My cousin needs to send someone to keep a close eye on him. This kid is not a fuel-efficient guy. He might turn into a monster at some point."
"Okay, it's up to you."
Because the surroundings were too noisy, the two of them were not afraid of being heard by outsiders even if they were talking normally.
Wang Zhi looked at the workshops and rows of houses in front of him, and the faces filled with happiness were filled with joy. "I haven't been back for three years. What a big change!"
Zhao Huan also sighed: "Yes, cousin, these are all your contribution."
"Cousin, don't say that. Without my cousin's support, I would never be able to become like this. My cousin should be the first to contribute to the happy life that the people have today."
It's a pity that Wang Zhi's praise had no effect. Zhao Huan's eyes showed sadness, "I know how much I am capable of. In the past three years, you have not been by my side. I almost collapsed many times. Fortunately, you gave me I kept Xiucai, Chen Dong and others, otherwise I might not be able to survive."
"Haha, cousin, I'm back right now. If anything happens, the two of us will face it together."
"Don't worry, with me here, everything will get better and better."
Looking at his cousin who was still as fearless as he was three years ago and always full of fighting spirit, Zhao Huan also laughed. It was the first time in the past three years that he laughed so happily and so easily.
Because his pillar of support is back.
When the honor guard entered Bianjing City, the avenue facing east was completely cleared. There was a forbidden army guarding every three steps. People on both sides of the road were cheering people. There were big boys carrying bamboo poles and lighting firecrackers, and little girls. Flower petals are scattered on the attic, all the way from the west city gate to the palace gate.
Wang Erlang's eyes were filled with tears when he was greeted like this. Three years of hard work were all worth it at this moment!
Zhao Huan and You Rongyan, his cousin is like a real brother to him. Seeing his brother so popular makes him happier than being welcomed himself.
The sages of the Wang Family Army followed Wang Zhi closely, watching the girl in the attic waving handkerchiefs at them, their faces flushed with excitement. They were originally mice crossing the street in the West City, but now they have become the most beautiful cubs on the street. How can they not be embarrassed? They were beaming with joy.
Only the big-eyed Yue Fei frowned slightly and was worried. He had read a lot of history books during the years when he was a guard of the Han family, and knew that this kind of formation was not what a minister should have. Taking history as a guide, few ministers who had won the hearts of the people died well.
How can a person be unpopular with the people if he can establish new learning for the people, cure plagues, provide comfort to the refugees, compile dictionaries, and bring peace to the country? How can it be unpopular?
He often talks about the general trend. What is the general trend? This is probably the general trend!
Gao Yaofu saw all this, and after three years, returning from the mountains and forests to the familiar and prosperous Bianjing city had a big impact on his state of mind.
No matter how excited he is, he can't be a city man again, because he has learned to look at things from a third party's perspective. His body is in the city, but his soul seems to be above the city. Everyone's expressions and movements, he It's all in sight, as if an outsider is watching the world.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head. If he continued like this, he might not want to become a monk.
As for Li Renai, he was already numb.
Everything in Bianjing City was washing away his knowledge of the world. He originally thought that the outside of the city was already very prosperous, until he entered the city...
Daxia has been fighting this country for more than a hundred years?
Now he just wants to kneel in front of his father and ancestors and say that he was wrong.
He was born into a noble family and was arrogant. He once felt that his father was not brave enough and his country was not strong enough. He was a vassal of the Liao, Song and Jin families, and usually bullied the surrounding small tribes. He was extremely incompetent.
He once dreamed that one day he would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and he would surely lead Daxia to sweep across Liuhe, pacify all directions, and achieve unparalleled feats.
But today, when he came to Bianjing and saw a scene that he had never imagined, he realized how naive and ignorant he was in the past.
Compared with Bianjing City, Xingqing Mansion is... forget it, nothing.
The guard of honor, including the Japanese army, the Wang family army and the Xixia royal family, did not stop and were arranged directly into the palace.
This is not the first time that Wang Erlang has entered the palace, but he still looks around curiously, because the last time he entered the palace was when he was very young, and that was when his cousin Queen Wang was still alive.
He had almost forgotten what the palace looked like. In his impression, the palace was very big and glorious. Even if he and his cousin ran around for a whole day, they would still be there. However, from his current perspective, it looked like it was not big. It could be said that it was very big. Small, even the Xixia Palace is bigger than this palace.
Even Li Renai was puzzled, why did the Song Dynasty, which was so prosperous, only have such a small palace? Were all the emperors of the Song Dynasty so diligent and frugal?
Li Renai, who had never met Gen Yue, thought naively.
Different from the imperial palaces of previous dynasties, Bianjing City was developed from a state city in the Tang Dynasty. The predecessor of the palace city was only the seat of the Jiedushi. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the old capitals such as Chang'an and Luoyang. Of course, the emperors also wanted to It was necessary to expand, but expansion would require demolition. The families around the palace were all wealthy owners. For Zhao Song, who believed that the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats should share the world, it was impossible to touch these people.
Until now, the emperor couldn't stand the stinginess of the imperial palace, so he directly built a second palace, Genyue, not much smaller than the imperial palace, in the northeast corner of Bianjing.
After entering the square in front of the imperial palace, everyone dismounted, and Prince Zhao Huan personally welcomed the Xixia royal family as they got off their horses.
"Xuan Xixia's envoy has entered the palace!"
"Xuan Xixia's envoy has entered the palace!"
"Xuan Xixia's envoy has entered the palace!"
After three summonses from far to near, Zhao Huan led Li Renai to the Wende Palace, the highest palace of power in the Song Dynasty.
Li Renai was holding an object in his hand, wrapped in yellow cloth. Wang Erlang glanced at it and knew what it was without opening it.
The Jade Seal of the Xixia Kingdom!
