I'm so hard

Chapter 22
Yang Xinghuai burst into tears, took the scroll with both hands very solemnly, and then walked towards the hall.

Xiao Zijie and Kong Ze looked blank, so they had to follow.

Yang Xinghuai walked to the front of the hall, rolled up the scroll, put it on the high platform, and knelt down.

boom! boom! boom!
After three big knocks, Yang Xinghuai said excitedly: "The emperor's grace is mighty, my Yang family is blessed, the Yang family is blessed!"

Seeing Yang Xinghuai's exaggerated movements, Xiao Zijie and Kong Ze couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.

It's so exaggerated, it's not a gift from the emperor.

Yang Xinghuai turned his head to look at the two of them, and said, "You two brats, hurry up and kowtow."

"Uncle, I admit that this poem is enough to be handed down to the world, but we are also nobles, so there is no need to kneel to it!" Xiao Zijie said with an aggrieved face.

Yang Xinghuai stared and slapped, and the two of them knelt on the ground.

In front of the Marshal, they were quite timid.

After the two also kowtowed three times, Yang Xinghuai said: "The author of this poem is none other than His Majesty."

"what?"

Xiao Zijie and Kong Ze opened their mouths enough to stuff a big duck egg.

On the way just now, the two had already regarded Zhao Yan as a rival in love, and they wanted to rely on their family status to oppress Zhao Yan and let him know that they were not worthy of Lu Nianwei!
Now, when they competed with the emperor for a woman, the two of them suddenly became a little scared!

Yang Xinghuai stood up slowly, and said: "You two explain the origin of this word to me clearly, you must not hide anything."

Therefore, Xiao Zijie and Kong Ze told in detail what happened last night.

"Your Majesty is really sympathetic to the old minister. This old man is going to the palace to thank you. After the two of you go back, you must not reveal your majesty's identity to anyone except your father." Yang Xinghuai instructed.

The two nodded quickly, and they dared not tell others that even though they had ten courages, the Emperor of Great Zhou came and went in and out of the Land of Fireworks and Moon at night.

Immediately, Yang Xinghuai entered the palace in a carriage.

This word means a lot to him.

First of all, this poem is enough to be passed down through the ages, and second, this poem is handwritten by the current emperor.

These two blessings are enough to make Yang Xing famous forever. In the history books of later generations, there will definitely be a page for him, even more than Xiao Jingye, Pan Wenyue, Liu Chaoping and other literati leaders.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, which emphasized culture and suppressed martial arts, Yang Xinghuai was completely satisfied to be able to participate in the great victory at the mouth of the Yellow River in his late life, and to receive such praise.

At his age, this is exactly what he seeks, and the descendants of his Yang family will also get more shade.

That's why he was so excited.

In the Chuigong Hall, Zhao Yan was tasting tea, and when he heard that Yang Xinghuai had an audience, he let him in.

Yang Xinghuai strode to the front of the hall, without saying a word, knelt down and made three loud noises.

"Marshal Wu, this is not going to court, so there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony!" Zhao Yan was taken aback.

Under normal circumstances, when the ministers meet Zhao Yan in the Chuigong Hall, it is enough to make a bow.

"Your Majesty cares so much for the veterans, it makes me terrified. My Yang family is willing to defend the frontiers for the Great Zhou from generation to generation, and I will not hesitate to go through fire and water, burn my heart, and wrap my body in horse leather." Yang Xinghuai said loudly.

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Wu Shuai, you use these idioms very well, do you have something to ask me for?"

Yang Xinghuai raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, I have already read the song "Broken Time" that you wrote for me last night, and hung it in the hall, so I am here to thank you!"

"Oh, that's the matter, you deserve it, you don't need to thank me." Zhao Yan thought for a while, and then said: "This matter must not be publicized."

If everyone in Wanbaolou knew that he was the Emperor of the Great Zhou, it would be inconvenient for Zhao Yan to go out for private visits in the future.

"Minister Zunzhi, apart from the father and son of the Minister of Finance, the father and son of the Minister of Finance, and Mr. Pan, the curator of the two museums, no one else knows about it, and will not spread it to the outside world." Yang Xinghuai said seriously.

"The father and son of the Minister of Finance and the father and son of the Minister of Finance know, I can understand, how did Director Pan know about it?" Zhao Yan asked.

Yang Xinghuai blushed, and said: "After all, this is a great honor. On the way into the palace, I happened to meet Director Pan, so I showed off a little bit about your majesty writing lyrics for me, but I also told him , will never leak."

Zhao Yan couldn't help being amused, he didn't expect that this all-powerful Martial Arts Commander would have such a lovely side.

……

In a blink of an eye, there are only three days left before New Year's Day.

In the past few days, there were almost no memorials. Apart from chatting with the Minister of Finance and the Ministry of Household Affairs about the reform of salt, iron, wine and tea, Zhao Yan was basically in a state of leisure.

And in Empress Dowager Zhang's harem, people came and went all day long, picking the queen for Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan didn't participate, so he left Queen Mother Zhang busy.

Only when he is not busy can Zhao Yan feel the ease and happiness of being an emperor.

afternoon.

When Zhao Yan was fishing happily in the Yuhu Lake in the Imperial Garden, Sun Houshi, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, hurried to see him.

"Sun Shangshu, it's Chinese New Year. You are in such a hurry. Could it be that something happened again?" Zhao Yan threw the fishhook into the lake and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, an hour ago, the special envoy Yebo of the Vientiane Kingdom and the special envoy Jiangyang Dengba of the Black Khan had a dispute with the official foreigner Qiu Tong, and then there was a vicious fight."

Zhao Yan stood up suddenly, turned around and asked, "Is Qiu Tong injured?"

Qiu Tong was the person in charge of the investigation of the Cui Wanshan incident, and Zhao Yan was particularly impressed by the excellent writing of the memorial.

"Although Qiu Tong is a civil servant, he has learned boxing and kicking. He was never injured, but the two special envoys were beaten badly!" Sun Houshi replied.

"Since our people have not suffered, what do you ask me to deal with?"

Sun Houshi was at a loss for words immediately, the logic of His Majesty the Emperor is really peculiar.

The envoy's injury is a major event that affects the image of Da Zhou. He only asks about his own people, but he doesn't care about the situation and reaction of the envoy.

"Your Majesty, the three of them are all in the Ministry of Punishment at the moment, and they have requested to face the saint. The reason for this is that the two special envoys stayed in the Qiyun Building this morning. They wanted to drive away all the guests on the same floor for the sake of peace. Qiu Tong just happened to I was also in Qiyunlou, so I went to them to discuss it, and then the two sides fought. Because this matter involves the diplomacy of the Great Zhou, I dare not make decisions." Sun Houshi said with a look of embarrassment.

Zhao Yan thought for a while, and said, "There is no need for Miansheng. Since the two special envoys like to be quiet, you can find a quieter cell in the Criminal Department and let them stay tonight. You can stay for as long as you want. God, just make sure the hot water is free!"

"Ah? This...this...isn't that good!"

Swish!
Zhao Yan lifted the fishing rod with both hands, and a fat big carp was pulled up.

"No one can bully the people of our Great Zhou. These special envoys are like creditors every year. This year I will kill their vigor!" Zhao Yan said coldly.

"The minister takes orders!" Immediately, Sun Houshi bowed and retreated.

Sun Houshi is quite happy to let these arrogant special envoys suffer a little, regardless of other circumstances.
