The meeting lasted for three days, and the effect made Hong Tao overjoyed. This group of children, no, is no longer children, it should be called young people. As they grow older, their experience, vision, and way of thinking have made great progress, and everyone can take charge of their own side and have more energy together.

After they sorted out their own universal education plan, the original vague context was clear, the uncertain problems were determined, and the ideas that were still on paper gradually took on concrete shape.

In addition, they also found a lot of flaws in their plans, which played a role in picking up the missing pieces. For example, how to deal with the flower paste workshop, and how to curry favor with the new emperor.

According to the thinking of this group of young people, after returning to Kaifeng, their rights will definitely be gone, and their actions will be restricted. The spies of the Imperial City Division estimated that they could fence off the Horse Mansion, and it would not be too easy to do anything.

How can this restriction be avoided or mitigated? They thought there was only one way, to pretend to show weakness to the new emperor. Let him no longer think that the horse is the biggest threat to the throne, so naturally he will not stare at it with his life.

Specifically, it is to find the weakness of the new emperor and tickle hard, didn't he take out all his internal anger to buy the workshop, even if there is a perfume industry to support it, it will definitely not be rich.

The most uncomfortable thing for the new emperor was not money, but land. Dozens of imperial villages have become the property of my sister's family, and the emperor has not only become a poor egg, but also a loser, and no one will be comfortable.

The courtiers who made the emperor uncomfortable naturally did not end well, so the children advised Hong Tao not to care about these lands, let alone fight with the emperor, and take a step back to open the sky.

After returning to Kaifeng, hurry up and find a suitable opportunity to return the Huangzhuang to the emperor, but not let too many people know, it is best to solve it privately. Otherwise, the new emperor will definitely not be able to pull down his face, and he will hate this brother-in-law who humiliates people with wealth even more.

Hong Tao really hasn't been stingy with the land, he didn't even see what the Huangzhuang was like, and he couldn't bear it. The main reason is that he didn't take this matter to heart at all, coupled with the contempt of later generations for imperial power in his bones, and he didn't carefully consider the emotions of the new emperor.

At this time, someone had to stand up and remind him of the rules that should be followed in ancient times, the emperor is still a very awesome existence, and the emperor has no good fruit to eat purely for the sake of vindictiveness.

It's a pity that the people who understand this truth and dare to remind him are not around, but they are given a head start by this group of children. Hong Tao was not stubborn this time, and immediately wrote a letter to ask Wang Shi to transfer it to the eldest princess.

The children only thought about what they should do, but they didn't know how to do it. It just so happened that Hong Tao knew that if he wanted to return the imperial village to the new emperor privately, no one would know the inside story, and it would definitely be useless for him to come forward, and the best way was to take the lady route.

Let the eldest princess find Queen Pang to reveal her voice in private and explore the truth. According to Empress Pang's character, in order for the caravan to come to the door in person, she would never ignore this large amount of property. As long as she is willing to accept Zhao Hao, she can't object, this is not the property of the court, and the foreign ministers can't control it.

There is a way to know that the members of the promotion society dispersed a few days ago, and the will of the imperial court came down in early February, asking Wang Xu, the king of Liang, to go to Gu'an to escort the envoys of the Liao State into Beijing.

"It seems that Liao Guo is not going to continue fighting, this is the rhythm of negotiations. It is very likely that this official will not be able to see the new army again for the rest of his life, so the matter of farewell will be spared. On behalf of your own officers, you should thank the officers and men of the New Army for their unwavering friendship over the years, and even more so for their courage in fighting for the country, and then sail home. As soon as this official leaves, someone will naturally come here to take over. ”

Hong Tao took the holy decree and read it several times, and his heart was mixed. I'm glad that I finally don't have to fight anymore, or I have to take the new army that lacks weapons to be cannon fodder.

Disappointingly, the imperial court was still conservative and did not take the opportunity to advance further north and east. If the Liao people are not cornered, they will not be able to make sufficient benefits at the negotiating table. From this point of view, I and the officers and men of the New Army have not achieved the best results in the three years of hard work, and can only be regarded as barely passing.

What is uncomfortable is that the future of this new army is worrying, they do not blend into any forbidden army, but they have a shining halo of a lion in a hundred battles on their heads.

The imperial court may well have high hopes for them, but they do not know how to lead them, and they will inevitably fail miserably in the future. When I think that the soldiers I have trained with my own hands will not get a good home, I feel a kind of loneliness that hurts others and is powerless to stop it.

It's a pity that Hong Tao is not a saint, he has always put his own interests first, and now he is difficult to protect, and the life and death of others are at most a few complaints, and he will not help if he is a little more helpful, and the next day he took fifty special forces and Wang 12 and Wang 17 to Gu'an.

This is also the upper limit of the troops allowed by the holy decree, and the new army can give up, but the special forces are really reluctant. In addition to these fifty people, other special forces will join the Sanchuan Metropolitan Procuratorate and the newly established post office system.

Although there are such horses around them, the envoys of the Liao State still have a blue face after seeing this team that is completely different from the Northern Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, and they try to stand as far away as possible when introducing and greeting each other.

The shadow of the tree, the name of the man! The notoriety of the founding candidate Wang Shu once made the Western Xia people frightened, and now the Liang King Wang Shu has made the Liao people regard them as evil ghosts, and even the arrogant attitude has been restrained a lot, and everyone tensed every muscle on their bodies along the way, as if they wanted to deal with the fight at any time.

This time, Hong Tao didn't go to talk nonsense with the envoys of Liao, and with the experience of Xiao Wuna and Princess Terry, he didn't plan to make friends with the other party, and he didn't even want to inquire about the content of the negotiation.

This matter has nothing to do with himself, even if the envoys of the Liao State write down the content of the negotiations and the bottom line on paper and report in detail, they don't want to listen to it, they can talk about it as much as they like, and the official is not in his position and does not seek his own politics, as long as these people are safely sent to the Kaifeng Duting Station, everything will be fine.

Contrary to the attitude of the Liao envoys, since the fight entered the border from Xiongzhou, there were people along the way who kept bringing wine and food along the way, and each post station also gave up the best room after seeing this black-clothed army, but the treatment of the Liao envoys was significantly reduced, and it was a room to live in, and it didn't matter whether it was good or bad. In the words of the post officer, there is a new army where it is the turn of the Khitans to pick and choose.

Hong Tao had seen this scene with his own eyes when he was in Huangzhou, but he didn't expect to come to Hebei to review it again. Victory in a foreign war not only strengthens national defense, but also gives the people self-confidence.

On the way, in addition to encountering the love of the people and the special care of the post guards, the escort team did not encounter any obstacles, and crossed the Yellow River smoothly.

After three years, I returned to Kaifeng again, the city is still so majestic and majestic, and the people here still like to watch the excitement so much. Three years ago, I entered the city with trepidation amid their cheers, and I still do so ten years later.

The only difference is that the people who greeted him were promoted from Wang Anshi and Sima Guang to the entire imperial court, including Zhao Hao, the new emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, who sat on the imperial chariot.

Yuanfeng was ...... in the beginning of the eleventh year No, now that the emperor has changed, the era name must also change, it should be called the beginning of the first year of Qinghe. The horse Duwei, the king of Liang Wang Shu was ordered to return to the dynasty, the city of Kaifeng was crowded, and the emperor led the civil and military officials out of the new Fengqiu Gate to meet in Ruisheng Garden.

Wang Xu dismounted a mile away and walked, bowing to the new emperor with courtesy without the slightest pride. The emperor set up an altar in the garden to comfort the heaven and the earth, the monarchs and ministers accompanied each other into the outer city, from the horse street around the Xiangguo Temple on the royal street, along the way the people threw flower petals as many as a carpet without seeing the loess.

Wang Shu and his black-clothed army led their horses to follow the royal chariot, taking the lead in shouting Long live our emperor and long live the Great Song Dynasty.

Since then, the new seal of the Qiu Gate Imperial Gift changed its name to Desheng Gate, it is said that the door also has to mold the stone statue of King Liang, but Wang Shu resolutely refused to accept it, and finally changed to set up a monument, the name is called Desheng Monument, the origin of Desheng Gate and the grand occasion of Wang Xu's entry into the city are engraved on it, spread to all generations.

After a three-day holiday and amnesty for the world, King Liang's victorious return from the Northern Expedition brought the most intuitive benefit to the people was that they could eat, drink and have fun for three days.

Just when the whole city was boiling and the whole country was rejoicing, King Liang left the palace from Xihua Gate alone, got into a black carriage, and quietly entered the Horse Mansion through the back door.

The next day, there was no shadow of King Liang at the court, and it is said that the victorious general fainted after returning home, and since then he has not been awake, eating or drinking.

When the emperor heard the news, he sent the imperial doctor to the palace to diagnose it, and after returning, he unanimously believed that it was caused by the overwork of King Liang and his physical and mental exhaustion. This disease cannot be treated with the power of medicine stones, but can only be recuperated.

A few days later, the queen mother also visited her son-in-law in the Horse Mansion, and brought several old doctors in the palace, but unfortunately after tossing for a long time, she still had no problem with King Liang's strange illness, and the conclusion was no different from the imperial doctor who had come before.

The common people have never been very interested in the official version, and it is folklore that came into being. There are already a lot of folklore about Wang Xu, and now it's time for a sequel.

The most widely spread and the most convincing is the theory that the star monarch descends to earth, and the people think that since it is a seven-star descending to earth, at least seven skills must be had. The Heavenly Evil Star is only one of the seven types, and after overuse, the divine power is damaged, and it must be maintained for a while.

As for whether or not the divine power can be restored, everyone's opinion is a little pessimistic. It's not a guess, there is a theoretical basis. This time, the lone army of King Liang of the Northern Expedition went deep into the enemy's territory, fought dozens of battles of all sizes, defeated hundreds of thousands of troops of Liao, and almost captured the emperor of Liao, which was obviously much more powerful than when he was in Huangzhou.

But no matter how Xingjun descends to the mortal, he will eventually end up with a mortal word, and his divine power is limited. There are sequelae of one-time overwork, ranging from a serious illness to death from exhaustion, and the star monarch who wants to come down to earth is similar to mortals.

The Northern Expedition consumed too much divine power, and great changes took place in the court, which made King Liang haggard. As soon as I returned home and relaxed, my body couldn't hold on, it was normal to fall, and I was very uncertain if I could get up again.
