[The second update, ask for red tickets, collect. ] 】

In the south post of the city, a team of carriages and horses is ready to go. Wang Hou and Zhao Long stood by the carriage and horses, and were saying goodbye to the friends who came to see them off.

Zhang Shouyue, who came with them, had already left first with the team two days ago because he had been appointed as the head of Qin Fenglu two days earlier. The reason why Wang Hou stayed for two more days was because he was summoned to the palace the day before yesterday and practiced with the Son of Heaven on the newly made sand table for more than an hour - this is the third time, which shows that the Son of Heaven's obsession with military chess is no less than that of Wang Hou and them at the beginning.

In the past month in Beijing, he was summoned to the palace three times. This kind of grace and opportunity, except for some important ministers above the service system, that is, courtiers who serve as the warden of the border land, can have this honor. And Wang Hou is an insignificant petty official, but he is favored by the Son of Heaven, and he is definitely an outlier in the eyes of outsiders. In the south of the city, he suddenly became a big man with stars and moons, and there was an endless stream of officials who came to befriend him.

"Wang Guanren, Wang Guanren." A crisp voice came from outside the door of the inn.

Hearing the call, Wang Hou turned around happily.

That's right, he is no longer Wang Yanei, but has become a royal official. Although it is okay to still call Wang Yanei now, after all, no officials will listen to it. Because of his work in the Tuoshuo Department, as well as his contributions to the sand table and military chess, Wang Houen was appointed by the third class, although he was not sent, but he was already named in the third class.

Wang Hou adjusted the new cyan official robe he was wearing on his body, raised his head and chest, and looked like a young man. The credit for pacifying the Tuoshuo Department is really not small, hundreds of beheadings are placed there, and the patriarch of the Tuoshuo tribe is sent to Beijing, which is a big victory in the top three since the son of today ascended the throne.

At the same time, because he did not use the official army and spent less money and food in the country, the Son of Heaven appreciated this practice of using razing to control razing, and he was not stingy in his official position.

Not only Wang Hou, but also Yang Ying, Wang Shunchen, and Zhao Long, who followed Wang Shao to participate in this battle, all gained official status because of this incident. Wang Shao's own official was also promoted to two orders at once, which was for the Zuo Zhengyan of the seventh grade. And the scattered officials and the honors have been promoted, one is the court invitation lang on the seventh grade, and the other is the captain of the sixth turn, but these two titles are all false, there is no position and no money, it is just an empty name, it just makes the title of the official longer, and it sounds pleasing to the ear.

is also Li Xin, because he followed Zhang Shouyue first, he failed to get light. However, Zhang Shouyue is now under the jurisdiction of all the way, and the people around him will inevitably follow the tide. Li Xin is not an official now, it does not mean that he will not be in the future, and it is only a matter of one or two years.

The person who called Wang Hou came in from outside the door, panting breathlessly, sweat kept flowing down his hair, and his little face as white as the first snow was flushed with shortness of breath. It's a pretty little girl in her teens. She was followed by a man with a simple face, carrying three packages in his hands.

"It's the envoy next to Zhou Xiaoniang. It seems to be called Mowen. Zhao Long said to Wang Hou.

Wang Hou nodded, knowing in his heart that it was time for him to come. He complained to the people around him, and stepped forward with Zhao Long: "Little sister, I wonder if Zhou Xiaoniang has a letter to ask Wang Hou to bring to Yukun?" ”

"The official is right." Mo Wen gasped and nodded in response, and said Wanfu again, before taking two packages from the hands of the man who followed behind, and handed them to Wang Hou and Zhao Long respectively, "This is the gift that my lady asked the slave maid to send to Wang Guanren and Zhao Guanren, and I wish the two officials a smooth journey without hindrance." ”

Wang Hou didn't shirk, this was stained with Han Gang's light, of course there was no need to push, "Zhou Xiaoniang had a heart, but Wang Hou was disrespectful, so she accepted it cheekily." Please convey the gratitude of Zhou Xiaoniang Wang Hou. ”

Mo Wen nodded, "The slave will tell my lady." Turned around and took another package, "This is my lady who asked two officials to give it to Han Guanren." ”

Wang Hou stretched out his hand to take it, guessed that there must be a letter inside, nodded and said: "Wang Hou will live up to his trust, go back and ask Zhou Xiaoniang to rest assured." ”

After saying what he was going to convey and getting a gift to be delivered, Mowen said a few more words of good luck and smooth sailing, and then said goodbye and went back.

Zhao Long checked the package in his hand and smiled at Wang Hou: "Han Guanren is really capable, he has only been in Beijing for more than a month, and he knows everyone, and even the Oiran in the teaching workshop has been pasted upside down." ”

Wang Hou nodded, looked at the package sent by Zhou Nanbaba's female envoy, and said with a smile: "Yukun Xiang is a romantic person, with an outstanding temperament, and it is not surprising that he is welcomed. ”

"I was taken aback. This time I went to Beijing to bring a letter to the Han officials, and a few officials were nothing, but I didn't expect that the last one was an oiran. …… However, Han Guanren asked me to bring five letters, and now two have been delivered, and no one has received the letters to Mr. Hengqu, as well as Zhang Guanren and Cheng Guanren. ”

"The resignation of the resignation, the resignation of the outside, the absence of the outing, you can't send it, there is no way."

This time he went to Beijing, Han Gang asked Zhao Long to bring five letters. There are for Zhang Dan, there are also for Zhang Zai, Zhang Jian and Cheng Hao, and the other is for Zhou Nan. Han Gang had several personal friendships in Beijing, and he wrote letters to all of them.

The letter to Zhang Dian was delivered by Zhao Long. I also saw the old Zhang Yu who was saved by Han Gang, and he also received a lot of reward money in the Zhang family - no, it can't be called a reward, but a strong Sichuan capital - because Zhao Long was already an official at this time.

However, Zhang Jian and Cheng Hao, the two imperial histories, fought a big battle with the law changers together with the entire imperial history platform in March and April. In the end, the two of them left Beijing to go out, and not only were they demoted, but several other imperial histories were demoted, and the entire imperial history platform was half empty.

And Zhang Zai came back from Mingzhou to investigate the case, and saw that his younger brother and nephew were driven out of Beijing, so he also resigned and returned to his hometown. Zhao Long did not deliver any of these three letters. He enjoyed himself in Little Sweet Water Lane on the way, and spent all the money he got from the Zhang family.

The above four families are just officials, and Zhao Long doesn't think it's a big deal. However, when he went to deliver a letter to Zhou Nan, when he inquired about people, he was shocked that the recipient turned out to be a famous flower leader in the workshop.

Wang Hou was listening at the time, and he also felt a little incredible, so he followed Zhao Long to send a letter to Zhou Nan, and he was more worried that Han Gang, who had not experienced much wind and snow, was fascinated by a Qinglou woman in Beijing, and something bad happened after the worst.

However, when Wang Hou saw Zhou Nan sticking Han Gang's letter in his heart and smiling happily, he found that things were diametrically opposite to what he thought, but this stunning beauty had a deep love for Han Gang.

After Zhou Nan received the letter, he asked to invite Wang Hou and Zhao Long to a banquet. But Wang Hou didn't dare to stay, and hurriedly pulled Zhao Long to say goodbye. In the future, Zhou Nan said that she would not be Han Gang's roommate, with her status, Wang Houduo would be rude to say two words, how could she stay for dinner.

Wang Hou gloated at this time, and said to Zhao Long: "There are two in Qinzhou's family, and there is one here, Jia Yan is in the township and is looking for a main room for Yukun, and in the future, there will be a headache for him in the backyard of the Han family." ”

……………………

Zhao Ji was in the side hall of the Wuying Hall at this time. Although it is a side hall, it has the same large area, and it is about the same size as the two or three houses of ordinary people. However, now in the side hall of Wuying Palace, there are more than a dozen sand tables scattered around, occupying one-third of the ground.

Zhao Ji walked in the hall, looking at these sand tables that condensed the mountains and rivers of the world into a radius of close by, and there was a sense of satisfaction in his heart that he controlled thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and was the lord of the world.

And behind the Son of Heaven was not the usual Li Shunju, or other small yellow gates, but Tian Ji who followed Wang Hou into Beijing. He lowered his head, only looked at Zhao Ji's heels, and followed lightly, but there was not much nervousness in his expression - when it came to the number of times he had faced the saint during this time, he was much more than Wang Hou.

"This is Hedong?" Zhao Ji stopped in front of a freshly made sand table, pointed and asked.

Tian Ji listened and looked up. On that sand table, in the middle of the lofty mountains, from north to south, several basins were enclosed. Said: "If you go back to the official's house, it is Hedong, and it also includes Yunzhong." The west side is the Yellow River, the east side is Taihang, the middle plains are Taiyuan and other places, and the north side is the Khitan Xijing Datong. ”

Tian Ji came this month to make sand table models of all parts of the country, and followed the map in the Privy Council. He himself knew that this was a rare opportunity, so he worked hard to remember, and worked hard to ask the local officials for advice, and in less than a month, the sand tables on the edge of Hedong and Shaanxi were completed, and Tian Ji also became an expert with a deep understanding of the mountains and rivers in the north - at least he could be a layman.

Zhao Ji saw that Tian Ji included Datong, and nodded with satisfaction. Looking back at Tian Ji, who had sunken cheeks because of his hard work day and night, he was so attentive to the king's order, Zhao Ji thought in his heart whether he should add an official body to him.

Li Shunju walked in at this time: "The officials, the ministers of the East and West Mansions are already waiting in the Chongzheng Palace. ”

"They've all arrived?" Zhao Ji was slightly surprised, he only felt that he had walked twice in the side hall of Wuying Palace, but he didn't expect an hour to pass so quickly.

"Tian Ji, you go back and rest for two days first, just make the sand table in Hebei before the end of the month, and you don't have to be too anxious." Zhao Ji said, concerned about Tian Ji's health. For the courtiers around him, the emperors who came down from Zhenzong were actually very lenient.

Tian Ji was so moved that he knelt down to thank him, and Zhao Ji took Li Shunju to Chongzheng Palace.

Although recently, Zhao Ji has come to Wuying Hall to fiddle with the sand table and military chess, but he can still say that he will withdraw when he leaves, not really indulge in it.

Entering the Chongzheng Hall from the inner gate, Zhao Ji's ministers had already waited any longer, not only the two mansions, but even the ministers such as Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dian were also present. The political affairs to be discussed today are related to the new law, and they also have to go to the temple.

However, the privy envoy Wen Yanbo didn't care about today's topic, and after saluting and flattening, he gave Zhao Ji a slap in the head: "Your Majesty bears the weight of the world, how can you be entertained?!" ”
