However, the affairs of Xixia were a bit difficult. They were backed by Mongolia. It was okay for Shi Lei at the beginning, but his attitude was still relatively weak. But as soon as Shi Lei left, he merged with Mongolia and refused to accept unification.
In the past six years, the Chinese Empire and Xixia had negotiated many times, but none of them had much effect. If Shi Lei hadn't said that he hoped for peaceful reunification, they would have really wanted to drag their troops over for training.
One of the members of the Military Committee was full of anger, and the table was slapped: "Let's talk, it's been six years. I think the Xixia regime is just a bastard, and it's determined. At the beginning, Head of State Shi Lei said
We should try our best to reunify peacefully. If we cannot reunify peacefully, we must reunify even if we use force. In my opinion, it is time to use force."
Another general said: "According to the deliberations of our military committee, Xixia refuses to unify, mainly because Mongolia is supporting them. Now Mongolia is too arrogant. It is said that they have already invaded Europe. This is also why
Xixia felt that with the support of a big country like Mongolia, they were not afraid of us, China. So our military committee unanimously decided that we should change our target and target Mongolia."
A member of Congress said: "Our current strategy should be development. But once war starts, it will waste people and money. And I think now is not a good time for us to use force against Mongolia. After all, Mongolia is not openly hostile to us. We are not
There is no sufficient reason. So let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs negotiate with Mongolia. Let them stop dictating the Xixia issue. Otherwise, we will take corresponding measures and impose sanctions on Mongolia."
"Report!" Just when the meeting was in full swing, a voice sounded outside.
"Come in." Zhao Shun looked at the person who came in and asked doubtfully: "Zhui Ming, what can I do for you?"
‘Zhui Ming’ was a martial arts master who was taught by Shi Lei. Shi Lei gave them four names: Ruthless, Zhui Ming, Iron Hand, and Cold Blood. He wanted them to maintain order in the capital and became known as the Four Famous Catchers.
The surprise in Zhui Ming's eyes could not be hidden at all. Hearing Zhao Shun's question, he quickly said: "Report to the head of state, yes, it's the head of state Shi Lei who is back. My subordinates just saw him, and now Lengxue and Tie Shou are already there to protect me. I'll run back."
Report."
As soon as Zhui Ming said this, everyone sitting there stood up. They all looked incredulous. Yang Tiexin softly called the head of state. Zhao Shun came back to his senses and shouted quickly: "Quick, quick, quick, with the highest authority."
Specifications, come with me to meet the teacher. The etiquette department staff will arrange it quickly, ten minutes. Quick!"
So everyone got up, and the palace immediately became busy. The honor guard was in place, the red carpet on the ground, and the high-altitude hot air balloon took off. A piece of music that Shi Lei had never heard before sounded, including war drums, suona, chimes, and piano sounds.
, the sound of the flute is mixed. This is actually a kind of music made by so many instruments.
First, it was majestic and heroic, like an iron-blooded warrior, motionless as a mountain. Suddenly the drums beat loudly, and the climax of the music came, with flags waving, and the fighting and iron horses. Finally, there was the trumpet sound of victory, and the music was brisk with a hint of sadness. The victory of the war also meant
with the sacrifice of his companions.
This should be a piece of music they created themselves. And with this music, the words 'Welcome the Return of Head of State Shi Lei' on the hot air balloon in the sky are so conspicuous.
The palace door opened wide, and five hundred honor guards walked out in neat steps. Behind them were Zhao Shun and Yang Tiexin with hundreds of civil and military officials.
"Wow, what's going on? That's the head of state. Why is the head of state already coming out?"
"Not just the head of state, who is the marshal of the world's troops. Behind him are all the officials in the palace. Why are they all out?"
"You are stupid. You didn't see that Head of State Shi Lei is back in the sky. But where is Head of State Shi Lei?"
"Head-in-Chief Shi Lei is back. Is it Head-in-Chief Shi Lei? That's great. Shi Lei has been away from the capital for five or six years. I didn't expect him to come back."
"Welcome Head of State Shi Lei!"
"Welcome Head of State Shi Lei!"
"Welcome Head of State Shi Lei!"
The people watching were surprised at first, surprised that the honor guard and civil and military officials all came out. After learning that it was Shi Lei who had returned, someone shouted, and then everyone nearby shouted "Welcome to Head of State Shi Lei". Each voice was more uniform than the other.
One sound is louder than the other.
"Wow, it's unbelievable. Shi Lei, you are so famous here. It feels so awesome." Hu Yifei looked unbelievable.
Ren Tingting said with bright eyes: "It's really amazing. I have never seen anyone with such a great reputation. Looking at the enthusiastic expressions of these people, even I feel so excited and admire Brother Shi Lei so much."
Mu Nianci smiled: "It took Shi Lei nearly ten years to develop in Xiangyang before he attacked all the way from Xiangyang to Lin'an at the fastest speed. The change of this dynasty did not cause the people to suffer any harm from the war. Then Brother Shi Lei even attacked
The Jin Kingdom was retreating steadily, especially in the battle of Beijing City. We occupied the city wall, but the Jin soldiers were in the city. If we attacked by force, the enemy would use street fighting to stalemate us, and we would definitely suffer heavy losses.
At that time, we had cannons and single-shot rifles. If we didn't care about the people, we could bombard them with artillery fire. But Brother Shi Lei ordered the army to enter the city to rescue the people. The losses of the army in that battle were really not small, but basically all the people in the city were saved.
We didn't have enough money to fight the Jin soldiers in the city. We never fired a single shot. Naturally, the people in the capital respect Brother Shi Lei, the newly appointed head of state."
Shi Lei also said softly: "Yes, fortunately, the public sentiment was good at the beginning, so the change went smoothly. I won't say more, they are here."
The honor guard stopped and lined up on both sides. Zhao Shun quickly stepped forward and knelt down: "Greetings to the teacher, I welcome the teacher back."
Although Zhao Shun was the head of state, Shi Lei was still the first head of state, and it was Shi Lei who helped him rise to the position. More importantly, Shi Lei was also his teacher. In ancient times, the status of teachers was really equivalent to that of parents. So a country
When the head of state kneels in front of Shi Lei, no one will say anything, and they will think that he is a head of state who understands filial piety.
As the head of state knelt down, all the civil and military officials who were Shi Lei's former students knelt on the ground. Others were a little embarrassed. The kneeling ceremony had been abolished by Shi Lei when he saw the head of state, or the people.
It is no longer necessary to kneel down when meeting an official.
But now the head of state and many of his colleagues are kneeling. Do they want to kneel? Kneel! People kneel to teachers in the name of students, but in what name? In the name of monarchs and ministers? If it was absolutely true in the sensitive period of the past few years
Will be arrested.
However, Shi Lei didn't make them embarrassed for long. With a casual wave of his hand, the kneeling people felt a force on their knees to help them up.
Shi Lei said softly: "You don't need to be polite. I don't have an official position now, and you are all high-ranking officials of the country. As long as you manage this country well, I will be satisfied."
"Father!" Mu Nianci came to Yang Tiexin with joy.
Shi Lei also bowed down to Yang Tiexin: "Uncle Yang."
Because this is what Shi Lei called him in the past, it makes sense to call him Uncle Yang now. Yang Tiexin also had a smile on his face: "Just come back, just come back."
Yang Tiexin still has a very strong friendship with Mu Nianci. After all, this is the daughter he has raised since childhood. In terms of psychology, he may not be much better than Yang Kangruo. After all, in ancient times, boys were more favored than girls.
Shang Nianci is inherently unable to compare with Yang Kang.
And although Yang Tiexin has never raised Yang Kang. Although he has never lived with Yang Kang before, he has been looking for their mother for eighteen years, right? Sometimes what is lost is the most precious thing. After it is lost, Yang Kang will be with him again.
The status in her heart is not comparable to that of Mu Nianci, the righteous daughter.
However, after Shi Lei took Mu Nianci away, he would still miss this adopted daughter who had been with him for more than ten years. Six years passed without any news. He thought he would never see her again. He didn't expect that today would come so suddenly.
He looked at Mu Nianci next to him, then at Shi Lei and Huang Rong, and at the girls surrounding Shi Lei. He smiled and said, "Since we are back, do we want to go home now? I just sent someone to my house.
Notified Xiruo. The food has been prepared."
Before Shi Lei could return, Zhao Shun immediately retorted: "Marshal Yang, are you kidding me? Of course the teacher should be treated as a national gift in return. How can we go home to eat? Then what will these people think of us?"
They are scolding us."
The Minister of Rites also stood up: "Yes, Head of State Shi Lei has returned to the empire, and he must not be careless. His subordinates have arranged everything, and a banquet will be held at Honglu Temple at noon."
After the Minister of Rites spoke, other civil and military officials also expressed their opinions. They all felt that they must be received according to national etiquette.
But Shi Lei shook his head and looked at Yang Tiexin: "There is no need to make a big fanfare when I come back this time. I just came back with Nian Ci to see Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang. So naturally I have to go home."
After saying that, he gave Nianci a wink, and Mu Nianci supported Yang Tiexin and walked home with a smile. Shi Lei followed with the girls and left all the civil and military officials here.
The Minister of Rites said with some hesitation: "Head of State, we have already arranged so many things in the Imperial City. Why don't you try to persuade Head of State Shi Lei to stay? At least let us welcome him back to the Imperial City."
Zhao Shun shook his head: "Forget it, since the teacher doesn't want to, then let's do it. You all are gone, let's go. As for what we discussed today, it won't be too late to talk about it in two days."
After explaining the civil and military officials, Zhao Shun also chased after him: "Teacher, wait for me."
Shi Lei and the others looked back in confusion. Zhao Shun rubbed his hands in confusion: "Marshal Yang, you wouldn't suggest that I go to your house to disturb a meal, would you?"
Yang Tiexin laughed: "Of course it's no problem. Whenever you came to my house, I didn't have enough food for you."
"Marshal Yang, and us. We haven't seen our teacher for many years, and we miss him very much! So..., hey hey hey!"
Looking at the sudden appearance of more than 20 people, a few black lines appeared on Yang Tiexin's head. These were all Shi Lei's students in the World of Condor Shooting. Now he had been thinking about it with his teacher for a long time, what could he say?
In the end, I could only sigh. Anyway, the number of people was already more than I expected, and it would not make any difference if there were so many more people. I finally nodded and agreed. It’s just that today’s meal may really have to be delivered by the hotel.
You must know that when he ordered people to notify Bao Xiruo before, he only told the news of Shi Lei and the others' return. If Bao Xiruo had prepared meals at that time, it might really have only included Shi Lei, Huang Rong, and Mu Nianci.
Human. So Shi Lei and the others were already beyond Yang Tiexin's imagination.
"You should also know the news after we left the Imperial City. We went to Huashan." A group of people walked towards the Yang Mansion laughing and joking. Yang Tiexin winked at the servant while listening to Mu Nianci's story about them.
The servants would be there soon, so they hurriedly ran away. It seemed that they were going back to inform Bao Xiruo. After all, so many people were going, so they should be prepared. Otherwise, after so many people went, they found that the food was pitiful.
If I didn't prepare your meal, that would be embarrassing. It would be embarrassing for both parties.
Seeing the servants leaving, Yang Tiexin breathed a sigh of relief and responded to Mu Nianci's words with a smile: "We know very well that you are going to Huashan. This matter was spread in a short period of time. The head of state
Discussing swordsmanship in Mount Huashan and winning the first place in the world caused quite a stir at the time. What happened next?"
"Later, adoptive father, you would never have imagined that we..."
Shi Lei felt that a student who asked a question interrupted Mu Nianci and said with a smile: "Uncle Yang, we went to sea later."
Mu Nianci understood instantly: "Yes, yes, we went to sea, and we went to many other places in the world. For example, Africa, the American continent, and Australia are also very good..."
Mu Nianci thought that Shi Lei had told Hong Qigong and Huang Yaoshi the information about other worlds without caring, so he thought that such information could be shared casually.
If the news that he can travel through the world is revealed, then these people will definitely think about traveling to other worlds with him, where they will try their best to govern the country? You must know that most of the top officials of the imperial court are here. If they don't have the intention
To govern the country, the empire must be in chaos.
What's more important is that Shi Lei doesn't want to take them through time. Their greatest value is to make good use of what Shi Lei taught them and develop this country into the strongest empire in the world. This is their greatest value.
Fortunately, Mu Nianci is still very clear about the structure of the world, and he still has a basic understanding of these common senses in this world. So even when he talks about the overseas world, he speaks clearly and logically.
