The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 677 Marshal Song Yue
Neither Dali nor the Yuan Dynasty expressed anything.

In the Great Song Dynasty, Chen Wenlong, the deputy minister of state, personally went to Xixia to congratulate the empress Li Xiushu.

He didn't bring any congratulatory gifts, but Zhao Dongting documents.And this already made the empress smile, and the officials were also surprised or delighted.

Although Zhao Dongting's document simply expressed his congratulations on Li Xiushu's ascension to the throne, the meaning in it is intriguing enough.

Isn't this the Song Emperor's acknowledgment of Xixia's restoration of the country?
When Li Wangyuan proclaimed himself emperor in the army, he never enjoyed such treatment.

Recognizing the restoration of Xixia to the country is tantamount to Zhao Dongting admitting that Fengxiang, Lintao, and Lizhou East and West Roads belong to Xixia.

Zhongsun Qifu and others, who had always been worried about this matter, were completely relieved.

They were worried that Emperor Song would ask Xixia to return these four roads on the grounds that the Yuan Dynasty gave up these roads to the Song Dynasty.In this way, Xixia will be enemies all over the world.

Li Xiushu, Zhongsun Qifu, Tuobaxiong and others grandly entertained Chen Wenlong in the palace.

When Chen Wenlong left Zhongxing Mansion, he brought Li Xiushu's documents in his hand.Xixia, is willing to form a friendship with Qin and Jin with the Song Dynasty.

This is naturally good news for the Song Dynasty.

Song Yuan negotiated peace and Song Xia formed an alliance.It is conceivable that in the next few years, there may still be a war with the Song Dynasty, and only Dali is left to hinder the development of the Song Dynasty.

But Dali, would you have the guts?
Just after the third day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Dongting brought Ying Er out of the palace.Apart from a few priests from Wuding Hall, there are also many eunuchs and guards accompanying them, which can be said to be very powerful.

He first went to the home of State Secretary Lu Xiufu to pay New Year's greetings to Lu Xiufu.Then, they went to the homes of Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Jue, Su Liuyi and others.

Outside the Changsha Imperial Palace, Zhao Dongting did not miss any residences of senior officials.

Although the reward was not much, just this kindness alone made these veterans feel grateful.

In the past, how could there be any precedent for the emperor to pay New Year greetings to his subjects?

Not to mention close relatives, it is already a great honor to send an envoy.

After leaving the ministers' homes, Zhao Dongting went to the barracks to personally interrogate the soldiers of the Tianshang Army and the Feilong Army.

This also made the eyes of countless old soldiers turn red.

Especially in the Flying Dragon Army, many old soldiers followed Zhao Dongting when they were on Naozhou Island.They are the witnesses of the development and growth of the entire Song Dynasty, and they share weal and woe with the Song Dynasty in their hearts.

This year has been really lively and comfortable!
After the New Year's Eve, it will be the day when the big officials from all over the country go to Changsha to report to the emperor.

After Zhang Jue, Wen Tianxiang and others reported their duties to Zhao Dongting, they rushed back to the army.Zhao Bing also went back to Yongzhou, but he took the red-sleeved girl with him.

He really has the means to win the heart of the red-sleeve girl.Probably, this is also related to folk rumors that King Guang is gentle and elegant.

The entire red-sleeved class followed the tide and rushed to Yongzhou with Zhao Bing, the king of Guang.

Don't think about it, when they arrive in Yongzhou, at least they can become the royal opera troupe of Guangwang Mansion.There is no need to sing around and run around.

Feng Tingluan, Jiedu and Transit Envoy of Guangnan East Road, Dong Zhen, Jiedu and Transit Envoy of Guangnan West Road, Wang Yinglin, Jiedu and Transit Envoy of Jiangnan West Road, and other pacification envoys Huang Hua, He Dongqiang, Liu Hongyi and others went to Changsha in person.

The newly appointed Kuizhou Road Jiedu and Transit Envoy Zhao Yuluo and other ministers were exempted from reporting their duties because they took office not long ago, but Yue Peng, the generalissimo of the Zhenxi Military Region, had to rush back to Changsha to report on his duties.

At the end of January, these frontier officials arrived in Changsha one after another.

This naturally caused a grand event in Changsha City, which was very lively.

All these big officials in the borderlands were the pillars of the Song Dynasty. When they came to Changsha, people would always rush to the city gate to watch and greet them.

And when Yue Peng rushed to Changsha with Kumano, Yue Yue and others, as well as more than a thousand elite soldiers, there was a grand scene of empty alleys in Changsha City.

Among the people, Yue Peng's prestige was comparable to that of Wen Tianxiang, and even slightly more prestigious than that of Deputy Commander Zhang Jue.

Since the incident of blocking the white horse and ten thousand troops at the gate of Chongqing City, the folks are really full of various legends about him.

In just a few years, he went from a mere pawn to the grand marshal of Zhenxi, which also added a bit of legend to his experience.

"Marshal Yue!"

"Marshal Yue!"

When Yue Peng entered the city with silver armor, silver spear and white horse, the voices of the people on both sides were as magnificent as a tsunami.

This surprised Yue Peng himself. He never expected that his arrival in Changsha would cause such a big commotion.

This is a grand occasion that cannot be seen in the still depressed Chongqing government.

"Brother, they are calling you!"

On the side, Yue Yueqiao was riding a little red horse with graceful curves, and Yue Yueqiao, who had recovered from her injuries, no longer had a cold look on her face, and smiled like the first melting of ice and snow.

She is proud of her brother.

Although she is no lower than Yue Peng, who has not yet been officially promoted in terms of rank, the Hall of Glory can only be regarded as a vacant position.In terms of achievements, he is naturally far from being able to compare with Yue Peng.In terms of prestige, let alone.

Yue Peng's face turned red, obviously quite excited, he cupped his hands again and again, and showed his understanding to the people on both sides.

This made the common people shout like a wave, even the small government officials who maintained law and order by the street were affected by this atmosphere, and shouted Yue Peng's name loudly.

Two days ago, Dong Zhen, Feng Tingluan and others rushed to Changsha, but nothing like this happened.

Troubled times create heroes.

Under such circumstances, it is obvious that generals like Yue Peng are more likely to gain popular support.

The thousands of elite soldiers behind them all held their heads high, so proud and majestic.

Being selected into the Tiankui Army at the beginning is something they are particularly proud of until now.This army can be regarded as the trump card of the Song Dynasty.

Among the common people, there are also relatives of these soldiers.Staring at the army with both eyes, looking for the figure of his own child in the army, when he found it, his face was flushed.

"Wu'er!"

"Slut!"

"elder brother!"

And after getting the response from their relatives, these people will be full of pride and say to the people next to them, "This is my son! This is my brother!"

The people on the side all showed envy and complimented her.It is necessary to say a few words such as a tiger father has no dogs, and the family will be brilliant in the future.

Countless people just surrounded Yue Peng and went to the palace.

Later, Zhao Dongting, who heard about this in the palace, was very surprised by it.

He personally rushed to the gate of the palace to meet Yue Peng.

It is not easy for this tiger general to be able to return to Changsha alive.When Yue Peng was in Chongqing, Zhao Dongting was really worried about him.

As soon as they met, Yue Peng, Yue Yue and others wanted to kneel and kowtow.

Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "No courtesy."

Then he directly stepped forward and took Yue Peng's hand, and said softly: "You have finally come back alive, I thought you would lose a brother this time."

Yue Peng's eyes were slightly red, and he said, "I dare not be a general."

In his heart, he only regarded Zhao Dongting as a great benefactor.Although he has a close personal relationship, he dare not say that he is the emperor's brother.

Zhao Dongting was slightly dissatisfied: "You and I have been born and died so many times, what's wrong with you?"

Then he chuckled again, "If I hadn't said that there would be no titles or hereditary replacements in the court, I would have made you a king with a different surname this time."

The strategic significance of taking down the Chongqing government and allowing Da Song to guard Chongqing, the main road leading to Sichuan, is of great significance.

Among them, Yue Peng contributed a lot.This is the credit of splashing heaven.

Yue Peng was even more moved, and then said: "Yue Peng thanked the emperor. Yue Peng is already satisfied to be able to saddle up for the emperor."

These words are not polite.

In all fairness, even if Zhao Dongting told Yue Peng to die now, he probably wouldn't hesitate at all.

After Yue Fei, the Yue family now has another marshal.In Yue Peng's mind, this is all a gift from Zhao Dongting.If it weren't for Zhao Dongting's kindness, he might still be a pawn, maybe a young general, but it is also possible that he had died in the chaos.

"Okay, let's not be polite."

Zhao Dongting dragged Yue Peng to the harem instead of going to the palace hall, "Today, you and I will definitely come together and not get drunk."

"Yue Peng takes orders!"

Yue Peng nodded heavily.

In the palace courtyard.

The eunuchs and maids of honor have already set up a banquet.

Zhao Dongting, Yue Peng, Yue Yue, and accompanying Ying Er sat down.Apart from them, there is no one else.

As soon as he was seated, Zhao Dongting picked up his glass, looked at Yue Yue, and said, "Master Yue's trip to Chongqing is also a contribution. I will celebrate your success with this glass of wine."
