Han Shizu

Chapter 756 The weight of Jun's kindness is frightening

The Xia sun hangs high, illuminating the walls of Guancheng, as if covering this solid and thick military fortress with a glamorous coat.On the Guanlou, the emperor of Han came again, but this time, it was not to inspect the customs, but to wait for the distinguished guests from the north.

Liu Chengyou was dressed in a clean black dragon robe, with a high imperial crown on his head, and stood upright. The empress and concubine were all in formal attire, one on the left and one on the right, waiting by the side. The four princes also wore beautiful and luxurious python suits, standing upright. Behind the parapet, the whole scene looks very formal.

The female wall was higher than the heads of the princes, even Liu Xu, the eldest, could not see the scene outside the city wall, only the white stone wall.Feeling the seriousness of the atmosphere, even Liu Fang, who is usually the liveliest, stood obediently at this time, without much movement, appearing to be well-behaved.

Liu Yang is also well-behaved, and seems to be able to feel his father's gaze behind him, while Liu Xi is more calm, his eyes remain agile, silently counting the number of bricks and stones in his vision.

On the side, together with the emperor's family, are the generals who came to Waqiaoguan to pay homage to the emperor.However, compared to the peace of Liu Chengyou's family, the generals are not so stable.

Across a distance of about two feet, a tall general with bushy eyebrows and big eyes showed a dispirited expression.This gentleman's name is Dong Zunhui, he was born in the general family, and he was trained in the army with his father since he was a child. He has extraordinary martial arts skills, knows the art of war, and has the ability to lead the army.

Dong Zunhui's military career was not too vigorous. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, he followed his father Dong Zongben to the Suizhou Military Academy. Later, he was transferred to the Forbidden Army and joined the Xingjie Army. After being promoted, he was released as the commander of Weizhou.

During his two years in office, bandits were suppressed, and in the autumn of the fourth year of Qianyou, Emperor Yeluruan of the Liao Dynasty led his army to the south. The imperial court issued an edict to prepare for war.However, following the Huoshendian Rebellion and the Han and Liao peace negotiations, they failed to get the chance to make meritorious service.

In the next few years, he successively served as the training envoy of the Dezhou regiment and the commanding envoy of Zhaozhou soldiers and horses. Until the autumn of the seventh year of Qianyou, the imperial court once again adjusted the northern defense and the northern army, and finally formed the current defense system with five army envoys and one deployment as the core.And Dong Zunhui was transferred to the Baoding Army in the west, among the generals.

Looking at Dong Zunjiao's resume, it can be regarded as smooth and smooth.And this person's experience is also representative in the Han army. In addition to his own military talent, he also has the influence of his father. Of course, the more important thing is that the Dong family and Linqing Wang Gao's kinship.

Perhaps because of his relatively smooth background and official career, Dong Zunhui has a sense of arrogance. When Zhao Kuangyin was traveling, he voted for his father Dong Zongben, and there was a relationship with Dong Zunhui.Back then, he was young and vigorous, and fought against him in everything, especially in his self-confident military strategy. He was also overwhelmed by Zhao Kuangyin, and he was often debated to the point where he had nothing to say, until Zhao Kuangyin was forced to resign on his own initiative.
After so many years, the impulsiveness of his youth has long since faded away, and he has become mature and stable now. In the Northern Army, Dong Zunhui has a good reputation. .

But at this time, standing on Waqiaoguan City, basking in the warm early summer sun, General Dong felt a little impatient.His face was not in a good mood. Because of the high drinking last night, Dong Zunhui couldn't help but muttered to Luo Yanyu who was beside him, "General Luo, how about that?" No matter how honorable the King of Yan is, it is too much for His Majesty to treat you like a minister of the Zhu Kingdom."

"We are rough men, strong and strong, so it's fine to wait here. An Shuai is also the king of the king. He is old and stands tall in the city. Even so, why bother His Majesty and the concubine to come in person? There are a few princes, young and not tall enough to reach the top of the city, standing there like schoolchildren."

Hearing Dong Zunhui's words, Luo Yanyu kept calm and relaxed, and replied: "Why, is General Dong envious?"

"Since the founding of the country, I have never heard of any ministers and generals who can be treated so highly by His Majesty? How can King Yan be able to do that? I just don't understand!" Dong Zunhui muttered.

Luo Yanyu chuckled: "Brother Dong, you also said that there is no one in this world who can be so honorable to His Majesty. He climbed the city wall and waited in person. Yesterday, Luan drove north to meet him again. Hmph, but such a great kindness is not guaranteed. It’s a good thing, but I don’t dare to be envious.”

"What do you mean by Brother Luo?" Dong Zunhui asked.

Luo Yanlu said indifferently: "I don't know when the King of Yan arrives, will he be more moved or more afraid when he sees such a scene. However, as far as I guess, it shouldn't be too uncomfortable."

Dong Luo was not the only one who discussed the emperor's arrangements and actions. The other generals of the Northern Army were also somewhat defamatory, but they dared not speak out loudly.An Shenqi was closer to the Son of Heaven, but the old man had a calm demeanor without a trace of impatience, and even had a little peaceful smile.

"Officials, looking at the generals, they seem to be quite critical!" Gao Guifei noticed the surrounding waves and said in a low voice.

Glancing at the beautiful woman beside him, Liu Chengyou smiled lightly and said, "Are you impatient?"

Facing the emperor's gaze, Concubine Gao immediately shook her head: "I have plenty of patience, and the officials are all here, so I have nothing to say. It's just that the importance the officials place on King Yan is a bit surprising."

On the other side, Empress Fu thought about it seriously, and said in a gentle voice: "King Yan has guarded Youzhou for many years, and he has made great contributions to the stability of the north, but the contribution is commensurate with the reward. The grace of the Son of Heaven is as heavy as a mountain and as deep as the sea, but the landslide A tsunami is enough to destroy people, so it's too late!"

"Your words are very insightful!" Liu Chengyou smiled lightly: "However, King Yan has made great contributions in guarding the border, and today he came to meet him in the south. As the master, I should wait a while."

Without too much explanation, Liu Chengyou turned to care about the four princes: "You are still young, if you are tired from standing, go to the side and rest for a while!"

"Your father is above, so there is no reason for my son to be tired!" Liu Xu responded.

"I want to wait with daddy!" Liu Yang said.

There were two elder brothers who expressed their opinions first, but Liu Xi and Liu Fang did not speak, they still waited quietly.

In fact, from receiving the news that King Yan was coming from the south, to ordering the civil and military forces to gather and wait, until King Yan and his party arrived at Guancheng, it took only half an hour.

When Qianyuan Yanqi came south, without hesitation, Liu Chengyou led the people to the pass, opened the city gate, and waited in front of the suspension bridge.

On Zhao Kuangzan's side, a party escorted the empty Luanjia.I met An Shouzhong at Baigou Station, and learned from his mouth the intention of coming and the favor of the emperor. After all, he could not give up. up the speed.

However, before the close, seeing this solemn and grand welcome scene, the complex emotions in my heart became heavier.

Zhao Siwan, who was beside him, was also very surprised, and said with emotion: "It seems that the Son of Heaven still knows how to be courteous, and he is a luanjia, and a personal greeting. He has a deep sincerity to the king!"

Zhao Siwan ignored Zhao Siwan, half a mile away, Zhao Kuangzan waved his hand: "All dismount!"

Yan Qi's quality is really very high, he moved upon hearing the order, ordered to prohibit, and fell off the horse neatly.

"Zhao Siwan will accompany me to face the king, and the others will stand by and stay where they are, and don't come near them!" Zhao Kuangzan ordered.

"My lord, just the two of us?" Zhao Siwan hesitated.

"Just the two of us!" The tone was unquestionable, he glanced at him, and said: "Leave your sword and weapons behind!"

"Yes!"

Soon, Zhao Kuangzan tidied up his armor first, and then he and Zhao Siwan, one in front of the other, went straight to the imperial front.When approaching the pass, Zhao Kuangzan knelt three times and kowtowed nine times to show his respect: "My minister Zhao Kuangzan pays homage to Your Majesty!"

From the moment Zhao Kuangzan came into view, Liu Chengyou has been paying attention to his performance, and the result is still very satisfying to him. He stepped forward a few steps, personally supported him, and said in a very gentle tone: "" King Yan, get up quickly, there is no need to be polite! "

Helping him up, Liu Chengyou was full of smiles, full of emotion: "At the beginning of the farewell to Yongqing, it has been nearly seven years, and I haven't seen him for many years. I miss King Yan very much!"

Facing the gentle smile on Emperor Han's face, Zhao Kuangzan's eyes were full of emotion: "The minister's virtue is superficial, how dare His Majesty be so trustworthy, and personally greet him, I would never dare to be so. Please return to Luan, Your Majesty!"

"King Yan deserves it. I have come here. With the friendship between you and my ministers, why care about some common etiquette!" Liu Chengyou laughed, and tightly grasped his wrist with one hand, pulled him hard, and said in his mouth: " The King of Yan has been exhausted all the way, and I have ordered people to prepare a banquet in the pass. Today, the generals and generals from the north of our Han Dynasty are gathered together. It can be called a grand event. Let’s go, let’s go to the city, drink and chat.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Kuangzan was a bit overwhelmed by the kindness of Emperor Han, so he could only follow suit, uncomfortably following, while maintaining a kind smile with other Han generals.
Zhao Kuangzan was doomed to get through the trip at Waqiaoguan with anxiety.
