Kou Ji just rushed to the front of the carriage, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted. Xiang Yan poked his head out of it and saw Kou Ji.
"Mr...."
Xiang Yan was delighted and called out in a low voice.
"Yan'er..."
A bright smile appeared on Kou Ji's face.
Xiang Yan lifted a corner of the curtain of the carriage and hurriedly said, "Honey, come up, it's cold outside."
Kou Ji nodded and waited for the carriage to stop, and then stepped onto the carriage.
Entering the carriage, Kou Ji felt a warm current coming towards him.
There were only two people in the carriage, one was Xiang Yan and the other was Kou Tianci.
There was no servant or maid to serve.
Kou Tianci was sleeping soundly on a small shaker, with several thermoses placed beside the bed.
Xiang Yan sat aside and served carefully.
Kou Ji entered the carriage and wanted to hold Xiang Yan for a while, but when he saw Kou Tianci sleeping soundly, he could only temporarily put off his thoughts and sit beside Xiang Yan.
Xiang Yan looked at Kou Tianci who was sleeping in the shaking bed, looked at Kou Ji again, and laughed in a low voice: "I haven't seen my son for a long time, do you miss my son?"
Kou Ji accompanied Xiang Yan to look at Kou Tianci on the shaker and sighed slightly: "I've only been half a year away from Beijing, and he has grown up like this?"
Xiang Yan laughed and said, "You are traveling around all day and not with him, so naturally I feel that he is growing fast. I don't feel like I'm with him all day long."
After a pause, Xiang Yan asked for credit and said to Kou Ji: "Our son called him back to his father..."
It would be fine if Xiang Yan didn't mention this. When she mentioned this, Kou Ji thought of the scene where Kou Tianci took advantage of him, and he was a little dark-faced.
"What's so strange about a child over one year old calling him a father?"
Kou Ji said with an indifferent look on his face.
Xiang Yan laughed in a low voice and said, "The first thing he learned was the word 'father'."
Kou Ji's face became darker when he heard this.
"Before people have grown up, they are so snobbish... I can't ask for my son anymore, let's have another one..."
Xiang Yan said laughing and cryingly: "Nonsense, my grandfather feels sorry for him. Almost every few days, he sends someone to send a letter back to Beijing and ask about his current situation. However, you have been away for more than half a year and have never written a few letters to your family."
Facing Xiang Yan's accusations, Kou Ji's face turned a little red, but he was particularly tough, "Can my grandfather compare with me? My grandfather is now an idle person, and I can write 800 letters a day. I'm different. I'm busy every day and I'm so busy.
Every matter is a major event that concerns the safety of the country.”
Xiang Yan glanced at Kou Ji, "I know that Kou has made great contributions, has a high official position, and has a heavy responsibility. So I don't dare to cause trouble for you on weekdays."
Kou Ji smiled with a thick face.
The couple sat together and talked for a while.
Most of the time it was Xiang Yan who was talking and Kou Ji was listening.
Most of the things they talk about are some interesting things that Kou Tianci did in Bianjing City.
Kou Ji did not mention the assassination of his own, nor did Xiang Yan mention the threatened person in Bianjing City.
It’s not that the couple doesn’t care about this.
Kou Ji was assassinated and sent a letter to Bianjing City.
Xiang Yan was threatened and sent a letter to Kou Ji.
Both of them know each other's experiences.
Some words must be kept until night and said in the bedroom.
The family of three took a carriage to Xingqing Mansion, followed the main road all the way to Xingqing Palace, and saw Kou Zhun standing sleepily at the door of Xingqing Palace.
Some past officials and royal relatives bowed to him after seeing Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun seemed to have not seen them.
Kou Zhun knew about the bad things that officials and relatives of the royal family did in Bianjing City earlier than Kou Ji. Kou Zhun was unwilling to give a good face to those who were thinking about the industry of Kou Mansion and their grandchildren.
With Kou Zhun's current age, he didn't need to show his respect when he met Zhao Zhen, let alone them.
Kou Zhun stood in front of the Xingqing Palace gate and was about to fall asleep. When he saw the carriage in Kou's mansion appear, he immediately became energetic. He quickly came to the carriage and shouted anxiously: "Where is my great-grandson?"
Hearing Kou Zhun's voice, Kou Ji and Xiang Yan hurriedly got out of the car and salute.
But Kou Zhun didn't care and asked, "Where is my great-grandson?"
Xiang Yan hurriedly said, "Tianci'er just went to bed..."
Kou Zhun quickly lowered some of the tone and said to Kou Ji and Xiang Yan: "Then you two should go into the palace to meet the official family quickly. I will sleep with Tianci'er for a while."
Kou Ji and Xiang Yan looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Xiang Yan whispered, "Grandfather, Tianci'er is also summoned."
When Kou Zhun heard this, his face looked a little bad, and he said in a nagging manner: "What can a baby doll do when he enters the palace..."
Xiang Yan smiled bitterly.
Kou Zhun muttered dissatisfiedly, "I am a minister of the official family. You cannot violate the will of the official family. You should bring Tiancier into the palace. Remember to bring Tiancier to see me when you look back."
Xiang Yan agreed.
Kou Zhun carried his hands on his back, humming and preparing to leave.
Kou Ji asked hurriedly: "Don't grandfather go to the palace to have a look?"
Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and said indifferently: "What's there to see? Looking at a bunch of incompetent juniors, standing in front of the official family, trembling?"
Kou Ji was a little amused and crying when he heard this.
The younger generations who Kou Zhun mentioned were referring to those civil officials.
In Kou Zhun's eyes, those civil officials who were full of complaints did not dare to breathe after seeing the millions of soldiers and civilians outside the city, and they were ineffective.
After Kou Zhun finished speaking, he left with his hands on his back.
Kou Ji took Xiang Yan to Xingqing Palace.
Xiang Yan had to wake up the sleeping Kou Tianci, holding Kou Tianci, who was sleepy and confused, accompanied Kou Ji into the palace.
Walking straight along the avenue, under the gaze of countless golden armored soldiers, the family of three arrived in front of the main hall of Xingqing Palace.
As the end of the year approaches, it is time to reward the ministers again, so the inside and outside of Xingqing Palace is particularly festive.
Inside and outside the hall, those who were wearing red and hanging colors were all happy.
There were thousands of civil and military officials standing outside the hall, standing straight one by one, and looking around, it was green.
There are only hundreds of officials in the hall, either red or purple.
The earthly fire dragons in the hall were burning very vigorously.
After the civil and military ministers entered it, many people took off their thick clothes and handed them over to the eunuchs for safekeeping.
Kou Ji took Xiang Yan and Kou Tianci into the hall, and handed over the cloak and other clothes on his body to the eunuch for safekeeping.
Some people frowned in dissatisfaction when they watched Xiang Yan, a woman entering the hall.
Some people looked at Kou Tianci in Xiang Yan's arms and showed a loving smile.
"In a blink of an eye, the little guy is so big?"
After Kou Ji's family of three appeared, Zhu Neng came over and stared at Kou Tianci, saying with joy.
Kou Ji smiled and said, "It's all one and a half years old..."
"Hahaha……"
Zhu Neng laughed and said to Kou Tianci: "Call Ahweng... Ahweng has something good for you..."
Ahon means grandfather.
A private name is to call one's own grandfather or elders with a surname next to each other.
Generally, it is used to refer to elders of the next surname in Bianjing City.
Zhu Neng had the intention to ask Kou Tianci to call him his grandfather, but Kou Tianci had a godfather with too much status, so he would have to go back some time.
Otherwise, it is taking advantage of the government.
If you take advantage of the official family, you won’t be criticized to death.
Zhu Neng stared at Kou Tianci with great anticipation.
Kou Tianci blinked and stared at Zhu Neng for a long time before he shouted softly.
"Ah...Ahon..."
"Why!"
Zhu Neng heard Kou Tianci call him "Aweng" and agreed happily, with a bright smile.
Zhu Neng decisively took out a small golden knife inlaid with various gems and handed it to Kou Tianci.
Kou Ji looked at it, was a little stunned, and whispered: "If I remember correctly, is this the most precious thing you have seized in this battle with Xixia?"
The small golden knife is not valuable.
But the person holding the sword has a high status, and it infinitely raises the value of the small golden sword.
The small golden sword is a golden sword inherited by the patriarch of the West Xia Yeli tribe.
When Zhu Neng attacked Xingqing Mansion, he fought with Nagano Riki, the new tribe of the Yeli tribe, for a long time. After being hit by a few times, Yeli Riki, who was killed.
It can be said that the little golden sword was obtained by Zhu Neng at the risk of his life. According to the habits of the warriors, they would treasure similar things themselves.
When Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji counted and seized the items after the war, they did not confiscate them back.
Because they know that warriors like to treasure similar things.
So I accommodate the warriors.
Zhu Neng heard Kou Ji's words and smiled carelessly: "It's enough for Yeli Yuqi to have the head. I'll give the knife to Tianci'er to play with. When Tianci'er grows up, I'll help him make a better one."
Kou Ji knew that Zhu Neng was kind and could not refuse, so he thanked Zhu Neng on behalf of Kou Tianci.
Zhu Neng opened his head, so naturally the others could not pretend to be invisible.
When Kou Ji and Xiang Yan were passing by with Kou Tianci in their arms, they all came up to give some gifts to meet.
Even if they don’t like this in their hearts, they have to deal with it with their face.
Some of them gave Kou Tianci a gift to him, which was to give Kou Ji face.
Others gave gifts to Kou Tian to give Zhao Zhen a face.
The family of three walked all the way to the hall, and it was a little embarrassed.
Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai had just finished their talks with the Liao people, and are still on the way back to the court.
Wang Zeng was still in Bianjing City.
Kou Ji couldn't find a suitable place to stand.
According to his current tenth day of the Northwest Administration's pacification envoy, he stood just right where the vermilion red intersected.
But he was not an ordinary Northwest Martial Arts Pacifier. He stood at the place where Zhuhong intersected, and those people in purple robes ran behind him one by one.
Kou Ji couldn't find a place to stand, and Xiang Yan couldn't find a place even more.
Kou Tianci's official position was just a seventh-rank crown prince's attendant.
But he still had the title of Zhao Zhen’s godson hanging on his head.
There is no place for Kou Tianci in the civil servant train in the hall.
Xiang Yan was embarrassed to go where the royal relatives sat.
The couple hesitated for a long time, but in the end, a eunuch came forward and took Xiang Yan to hold Kou Tianci, and sat in the royal family.
Kou Ji had no choice but to stop at the first stop of the civil officials.
As the saying goes, there are no tigers in the mountains, Kou Ji is called the king.
The three prime ministers Lu Yijian, Zhang Zhibai, and Wang Zeng were not there, and no civil officials dared to take the lead, so they could only be Kou Ji.
The civil and military squads stood still, and the royal relatives stood still.
Zhao Zhencai and Empress Cao appeared in the main hall.
Zhao Zhen originally ordered Empress Cao to rest, but considering that this place was not Bian Jing City and the main hall of Xingqing Palace was not the Chuigong Hall, he brought Empress Cao to appear in the main hall.
Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao sat down together.
Chen Lin announced.
All the civil and military officials of the court, the royal relatives and relatives bowed together.
"I will meet the official family..."
"I will meet the Queen..."
Zhao Zhen said majesticly: "You don't have to be too polite to you..."
Empress Cao smiled and agreed with a kind smile.
All the civil and military officials of the court, the royal relatives and relatives, stood up together.
Zhao Zhen ordered: "Give him a seat!"
The royal relatives bowed to thank the seat before they sat down slowly.
Zhao Zhen looked around everyone in the hall, straightened his back slightly, and solemnly declared: "This year, our Song Dynasty first conquered the Liao Kingdom and then the Western Xia Kingdom. Now the Liao Kingdom has bowed its head and the Western Xia has been executed.
My Song Dynasty is no longer the same as before, and there is no strong enemy who dares to yell with me."
Everyone in the main hall saluted them all after hearing Zhao Zhen's words.
"Congratulations to the Song Dynasty and to the officials!"
Zhao Zhen continued: "When I succeeded to the throne, my Song Dynasty was weak, surrounded by strong enemies, and the people of our Song Dynasty were always worried about military disasters. I was very happy and sleeping at night, and I dared not be negligent about government affairs and military affairs.
The civil officials were diligent in government affairs and helped me stabilize the world.
The soldiers fought desperately to expand their territory for me.
It is our unity of the king and his subjects that created the Song Dynasty today.”
Everyone in the main hall bowed again and said loudly: "For the Song Dynasty, the officials, and the ministers will never refuse to die."
Zhao Zhen nodded slowly, "It's very good...I'm very pleased..."
Zhao Zhen looked around the ministers and said, "I specially summoned all of you here, traveling a long distance and tiring, and some of you have complaints, and I know in my heart.
I didn't mean to bother you. I did this with my intention.
When the soldiers set out to fight, I promised the soldiers that after they succeeded, they would reward them here and praise them for their achievements in front of all civil and military officials."
When the ministers heard this, look at me, and look at you, and think Zhao Zhen was a little mobilized.
Zhao Zhen stared at the ministers and continued, "I know that some of you think that my actions are mobilizing a lot of troops. But I want to mobilize a lot of troops, and I want to use this to tell everyone in the world.
Anyone who is willing to make achievements for our Song Dynasty, regardless of civil and military affairs, can mobilize many people to praise them and celebrate them.
I not only want to praise them for their merits here, but I also want to praise them for their merits in Bianjing City.
I even want to erect a Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion in Bianjing City, and hang all the portraits of civil and military ministers who have made contributions to our Song Dynasty, so that future generations and descendants can remember them."
All the civil and military officials of the court, the royal relatives, were moved when they heard Zhao Zhen's words.
Zhao Zhen wants to establish Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion?
I'm afraid it's the same as the Lingyan Pavilion of the Tang Dynasty.
Anyone who enters the cabinet will have a great increase in status and fame.
More importantly, those who enter the cabinet seem to have an extra gold medal for avoiding death, which is the kind that can really avoid death.
As long as you don’t rebel, even if you make a huge mistake, you will probably be forgiven.
It is definitely not comparable to those useless elixir books and iron scrolls in the families of various martial artists.
More importantly, as long as the emperors in the future do not take out the portraits of the people who entered the cabinet from Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion, their descendants can also receive some care from the court.
The word "联利利" in it is the military minister.
The word "respecting virtue" deals with civil officials.
In other words, civil officials and military generals have a chance.
While moving, the civil and military officials in the court were thinking about whether they had the opportunity to enter Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion.
Only Kou Ji was truly shocked by Zhao Zhen's words.
According to historical records, the Song Dynasty did establish the Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion.
It was just that it was not established when Emperor Renzong Zhao Zhen was in the dynasty, but when Emperor Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty was in power.
Portraits of twenty-four heroes were stored in it, so some people in the folk called them the twenty-four heroes of the Zhaoxun Pavilion.
The twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion in the Song Dynasty are not as famous as the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty.
Part of this is because of the emperor who built the attic.
Another part is that the twenty-four heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty were almost all the heroes of Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin during the dynasty.
The twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion included all the heroes of the Song Dynasty.
They are Zhao Pu, Cao Bin, Xue Juzheng, Shi Xizai, Pan Mei, Li Han, Wang Dan, Li Jilong, Wang Zeng, Lv Yijian, Cao Wei, Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang, Fu Bi, Sima Guang, Han Zhongyan, Lv Yihao, Zhao Ding, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Chen Kangbo, Shi Hao, Ge Bi, and Zhao Ruyu.
Most of them are civil officials, and very few military officials.
Another reason why the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion are not as famous as the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion is that some of them are not qualified to be included in it.
For example, Shi Xizai.
This person served as Privy Councilor.
But it did not make much contribution to the Song Dynasty.
During his tenure in the court, he was also a dull one.
There is no big achievement, and there is nothing wrong with it.
There are also some people who are qualified to enter, but are not listed.
For example, Gao Huaide.
Gao Huaide's contribution to the Song Dynasty cannot be said to be more than everyone in Zhaoxun Pavilion, but at least more than half of it.
Such a character is not included.
It can be seen that the judgment of the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion is unfair and therefore not recognized.
Zhao Zhen took out the thing that would only appear more than two hundred years later, and Kou Ji was naturally surprised.
He has never told Zhao Zhen anything similar.
He had never heard of anyone telling Zhao Zhen about something similar.
He did not suspect that Zhao Zhen was a time traveler like him.
He just had a little doubt whether Zhao Zhen had sent someone to his tent during the war and heard him talk in his sleep.
After all, after falling asleep, you don’t know what you will do if others don’t tell you.
Just when Kou Ji was thinking about it.
Zhao Zhen had already begun to instruct Chen Lin to praise the soldiers.
"Summon the meritorious soldiers to the palace!"
Chen Lin shouted loudly.
Some soldiers who had made great contributions to appear in front of the civil and military officials of the court, dressed in armor, entered the hall.
After they bowed to Zhao Zhen, they stood upright in the hall.
Chen Lin held a volume of documents and began to discuss the soldiers' high skills in detail.
As small as killing a few enemies.
As far as siege and siege, all of them were recorded and all of them were preached to the civil and military officials of the court.
Chen Lin is not the only one who preaches.
While Chen Lin was preaching, there were eight imperial guards outside the hall who repeated his words to the officials standing outside the hall.
The scene of praising me lasted for a day.
This day can be said to be the proudest day for the warriors.
Because 99% of the people praised are military men, there are only seven or eight civil officials.
And the seven or eight civil officials who were praised were praised because they made merits on the battlefield.
For example, there is a promoter.
Follow the lieutenant to sweep a small tribe.
As soon as he entered the position of the small tribe, the captain was shot to death by the sharpshooter of the small tribe.
The soldiers were in a mess.
The magistrate was calm in the face of danger, and personally picked up the knife, slashed a few escaped soldiers, and then led the way, led the other soldiers into the small tribe, and wiped out the small tribe.
Although he was a civil servant, he made considerable contributions on the battlefield and was praised by all the civil and military officials of the court.
After a commendation meeting ends.
The military officials left the main hall of Xingqing Palace with pride.
The civil officials all hung their heads, like eggplant made from frost.
The civil officials wanted to find a reason to kill the mighty power of the military officials.
But in Xingqing Mansion, they dare not.
There are many soldiers inside and outside Xingqing Prefecture, including some who have received favors from military officials and are willing to sacrifice their lives for military officials.
They were in trouble with the military ministers in the hall today, and it was difficult to guarantee that when they were walking in Xingqing Mansion, they would not be cut to seven or eight by those who claimed their own gratitude.
When the civil and military ministers left the main hall of Xingqing Palace, Kou Ji followed him out of the main hall of Xingqing Palace. He stood at the door, staring at the military minister who left with his head raised and his chest, and then at the civil minister who left with his head down, and muttered in a low voice.
"I really want to transfer Han Qi from Hexi to let him stand here to see if he can shout out the words "Fang Nai's good man outside Donghua Gate"..."
"Who is Han Qi?"
Chen Lin didn't know when she appeared beside Kou Ji and asked in a low voice.
Kou Ji did not panic because of what he shouldn't say, but instead looked at Chen Lin calmly and said, "A scholar who thinks that a martial artist is not as good as a literati..."
Chen Lin said disdainfully: "Most scholars just open their mouths... They put their knife on their necks, and they changed their words faster than anyone else..."
Kou Ji didn't want to discuss this issue with Chen Lin, so he asked: "You are not here to serve the officials, what should you do when you run out?"
Chen Lin said helplessly: "After the civil and military officials left the court, they carried Master Ci over to play for a while, and gave Master a soak in the divine water, which defiled many imperial edicts.
The official family summons you in and accompany him to draft the edict.”
Kou Ji said in surprise: "Isn't it better to leave it to the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat to do it?"
Chen Lin glanced at Kou Ji and said, "Young Master Ci can't let others take responsibility for the mistakes you made, right? The official is still very fair in similar matters."
Kou Ji looked at Chen Lin and said, "Tell the truth!"
Chen Lin said lightly: "The official thinks that some people's rewards should change a little, so I ask you to discuss it."
Kou Ji glared at Chen Lin and stepped into the main hall of Xingqing Palace.
Chen Lin seemed to be used to being glared at by Kou Ji, and was not angry, so she followed Kou Ji into the main hall of Xingqing Palace.
As soon as Kou Ji entered the main hall, he saw Kou Tianci sitting on the dragon table, with a pile of imperial edicts in front of him, and he was tearing him up.
Zhao Zhen sat aside with a smile, whispering to seduce: "Call the father of the whole life to listen..."
Kou Tianci shouted softly while tearing the imperial edict.
"Father..."
Zhao Zhen’s smile was so bright.
Queen Cao looked at her with a smile on her face, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Chapter completed!
