Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 741: The official family who still hasn’t finished enjoying the banquet

That night, the official family gave a banquet to all civil and military officials in the palace, and even praised the officials who had made meritorious services.

Facing Gao Zhang who destroyed the Xingqing Mansion and captured the Xixia leader alive, the officials naturally praised Xiao Gao highly.

Looking at this child prodigy who is less than twenty years old and has already accomplished the task of destroying a country.

All the important officials in the imperial court with gray hair on their temples were really envious, jealous, and hateful.

But we have to admit that the rise of this young prodigy of the Song Dynasty to the imperial court is unstoppable.

There were even many ministers who frequently looked at Cai Jing, the governor of the Song Dynasty.

Looking at the prime minister who is now an old man with beard and hair like snow.Look at the young, handsome and tall Gao Zhang.

I'm afraid that no one will find it strange that this young legend will take over the Xiangyin from Cai Jing three or five years later.

After all, this young man has gained too much reputation and gained too much credit.

If he is a military minister, even if he has just accomplished the task of destroying the country, what awaits him will be impeachment like a storm.

But this man is the youngest number one scholar since the imperial examination, and he is a model among civil servants.

Now he has made such unparalleled achievements and used the ancestral family method of the Song Dynasty to rule the world together with the scholar-bureaucrats.Mr. Gao, I'm afraid he should be separated from his country.

Gao Qiu's face was also flushed and he didn't close his mouth. If his own son Gao Zhang hadn't reminded him frequently, Gao Qiu, who was in an extremely good mood, would have passed out drunk on the spot before the banquet was over.

As for Cai Jing, the traitorous prime minister of the Song Dynasty, he was also sitting with his own son Cai Laoliu, but the smile on Cai Jing's face was obviously a bit forced.

Especially when the officials came to Cai Liulang and praised Cai Liulang mercilessly.

Seeing Rokuro's proud look with his tail almost raised to the sky, Cai Jing was even a little annoyed as to why he didn't bring the ruler over today.

On the other side, Tong Guan was very pleased to frequently clink glasses with Tong Zhisheng, his promising son.

This beloved son who was granted a Jinshi status by an official family had made many military exploits in this battle against Xia.

Especially in the battle at Xingqing Mansion, this boy killed a Xixia military commander and killed more than ten Xixia soldiers.

My beloved son is so brave that even the generals often raised their thumbs to show their approval.

But he was much stronger than Cai Laoliu, who only dared to huddle in the military formation during battles and didn't even dare to take the lead.

#####
The banquet ended just before midnight, and a group of ministers wandered towards the palace gate.

Gao Zhang walked with his father and greeted the ministers who came to congratulate him one by one.

He still seems so humble and approachable, capable of destroying a country but not arrogant, just like in the past.

Many ministers and workers secretly raised their thumbs and praised 666.

Wu Zhizhong also praised Gao Zhang endlessly, and even mentioned that the official claimed in front of him that he saw Gao Zhang destroying Xixia in his dream.

The point is that the official Zhao Ji believed it and believed that Gao Zhang would definitely realize his dream.

Gao Zhang also wiped his face silently. Speaking of which, his defeat of Xixia was really inspired by his master's dream.

Outside the palace gate, a group of well-fed and drunk officials dispersed one after another. After saying goodbye to the familiar ministers, Gao Zhang had just boarded the carriage with his father Gao Qiu.

A young eunuch ran out of the palace gate, saluted Gao Zhang, and signaled softly that the official had issued an order to invite Privy Gao to enter the palace.Gao Qiu could only watch with understanding as Gao Zhang followed the eunuch to the palace, and then he went home. He could only think of the three women staying at home with their long-lost sons (husbands) waiting to meet again.

Gao Qiu really had the urge to wait outside the palace gate for his son to come home and count balls together.

Otherwise, the three pairs of silent and extremely resentful eyes would definitely give Gao Qiu nightmares.

"That's all, let's not go back yet and wait here."

After giving the instructions, Gao Qiu threw himself into the carriage and went to meet Duke Zhou at night.

A group of people from the Gao family could only stand outside the palace gate with big eyes and small eyes.

#####
Gao Zhang followed the young eunuch to the outside of the study. From a distance, he saw the master standing outside the imperial study, walking back and forth. After seeing himself, he walked quickly over.

"Come on, come on, I haven't had all the fun as a teacher just now, but I just want to wait for you, Xiao Gao, to drink delicious food with me and talk at night by candlelight."

Looking at this energetic master, Gao Zhang naturally could not displease him, so he could only bow to his master with a face full of joy.

The master and apprentice walked quickly towards the imperial study, hand in hand.

Fine wine and delicacies were laid out all over the place. Following the official's questioning, Gao Zhang began to talk about his journey to the west to conquer the summer.

The officials listened leisurely and fascinated, especially when they heard that Gao Zhang ordered the bombardment of Xingqing Mansion, which caused the Xingqing Mansion to be filled with blazing flames and smoke like pillars.

It was exactly the same as what he saw in his dream, which made official Zhao Ji feel more and more happy.

Every time the officials heard Xiao Gao's story about tens of thousands of troops, they used the frozen surface of the Xiazhou River as a path to march hundreds of miles straight to the hinterland of Xixia.

The hundreds of miles of ice road had been arranged in advance so that the army did not have to worry about supplies and minimized the possibility of being discovered by the Xixia people.

He was even attacked by a blizzard, but in the end, he withstood all the pressure and destroyed the capital of Xixia in one fell swoop.

Especially outside Xingqing Mansion, the royal capital of Xixia, [-] infantrymen faced off against [-] cavalry of Xixia, including a thousand iron kites.

But in the end, [-] Song infantry were unscathed, while only a few of Xixia's [-] cavalry survived.

Hearing the official Zhao Ji shouting happily, he frequently raised his glass and drank heavily.

As a disciple, Gao Zhang couldn't sit back and watch his master's talk, so naturally he had to accompany him well.

And Yang Jian stood quietly aside, looking at the master and apprentice who were obviously having fun, and couldn't help but regret that his godson Yang Xiong could not accompany Gao Zhang to make achievements this time.

After listening to Gao Zhang's story about the capture of Xingqing Mansion, they received intelligence. The generals of the Liao states located in the Hetao received the news that Xixia was swept away by the Song Dynasty's conquest.

Then he thought of taking advantage of the situation, and began to raise troops to go south to meet the fleeing Xixia soldiers and horses, and also raised the banner of restoring Xixia.

After hearing this, the official Zhao Ji, whose cheeks turned red, couldn't help but slap the crime table repeatedly, and cursed angrily uncontrollably.

Fortunately, he only vented a few words, glanced at his beloved disciple in front of him, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"As a teacher, I don't want to see the Liao people doing such dirty things. Come on, let's continue..."

"..."
