Tang Yi went all the way south, day and night, and returned to his heart like an arrow, a thousand miles away, and it only took half a month to arrive.

At this time, the winter is stronger, but the winter of Kaifeng is not like a big set, when the first snow falls, there are still cold plums blooming, and the water waves reflect the snow. With a charm and gentleness unique to the early winter of the Central Plains.

When Tang Yi arrived at Kaifeng City, it was night, and the city gate was locked, and he couldn't enter the city.

There was no hurry, and everyone took a boat back to Guanlan outside the city. Rest for one night, and it's not too late to return to the court tomorrow.

Xu was really tired from running around for days, and Xu was determined to let go of the burden, Tang Yi relaxed in his heart, and returned to the Tang family's small building to fall asleep. After a while, he snored loudly.

The three ladies asked him to get up and wash, but they couldn't wake up, and the robes were all hard to tear off.

Unexpectedly, he said that he would go to court in the morning, but Tang Yi slept for a day and a night, and he took a fraction of his head.

When he opened his eyes, Tang Yi looked dark and thought that he had only squinted for a while.

Standing up, stretching his sore limbs, he saw that Brother Qiao, Fukang, and Sister Jun were all sitting around the table dozing off, and couldn't help laughing, "What are you doing in the middle of the night when you don't sleep and guard me?" ”

The third girl came back to her senses, and when she saw him get up, she gave him a roll of her eyes, "You heartless bastard can sleep." ”

As he spoke, Brother Qiao hurriedly got up and called the maid to bring the hot soup towel, and couldn't help but say, pulling Tang Yi to wash up.

Fukang went to the closet and took out a new set of pure white robes to prepare. As soon as the washing over there was finished, it would immediately put it on Tang Yi.

And Sister Jun had already brought the meal at this time. Just wait for Tang Yi to get dressed and eat.

Tang Yi looked at the busy crowd and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You don't have to be so busy, right?" ”

"Not yet?"

Brother Xiao Qiao raised his eyebrows, "If you don't leave the small building, it will be a mess outside." ”

Fukang also received: "Yesterday's report of the victory in Liao, Uncle Cao Guo has already reported it first. The official family was overjoyed, and issued an order to restore the husband as the king of Zhenjiang, and it was announced in front of the temple and on the side of the oath monument. ”

Last night, the hundred officials who came to congratulate him were already waiting at the bottom of the mountain. It's been waiting all night, and if you don't go out, you can't say it.

While helping Tang Yi wash up, Sister Jun said angrily: "Master Fan is so old, I waited for you downstairs all night." You're so embarrassed, you sleep so well that you can't even wake up. ”

As he was talking, Cao Tong Xu heard movement outside and went upstairs. It doesn't matter what evasion is not evasive, just push the door and enter.

"Up?"

Seeing that Tang Yi was being pressed there to wash, "Oh, my lord, you can be considered awake!" ”

"It's messed up, it's all messy. If you don't accept the will of the restoration, you have to accept it. That was the decree of the Zhao family's ancestors and ancestors. ”

"Now that hundreds of officials have come to congratulate, no official nod from the official, so they just waited at the bottom of the mountain for a night. I think the official family is determined not to let you go this time, how should this be? ”

"I can tell you, now that several families in Shanghe are downstairs, if the king of Zhenjiang is detained on your head again, then what will we do in the future?"

“......”

Only then did Tang Yi know that he had actually slept for a day and a night. Unexpectedly, Zhao Shu was the overlord who made a bow this time and riveted him.

was stunned for a long time, and it wasn't until everyone waited to put on their clothes that Tang Yi came back to his senses.

Laughed silently, with a complicated expression.

"This stinky boy, the more you learn, the worse you get!"

"Who is to blame?"

I only heard a blame from outside the door, but it was Master Fan who was impatient waiting downstairs, and he was also upstairs with the support of his mother.

"You didn't teach it yet?"

Master Fan squinted at Tang Yi, and continued to count as he stepped into the house.

"The more noisy it is, the more noisy it is, the more unpleasant it is! The edict is announced in front of the monument, and hundreds of officials are congratulating, what kind of words is this!? ”

"You, the king of Zhenjiang, according to the old man, it is bigger than the shelf of the first emperor!"

"Master......" Tang Yi had a bitter face.

"You're old and reasonable, what's the matter with me?"

He was speechless and said: "The official family stumbled on me, and I also suffered from it, okay?" Besides......"

Tang Yi peeked at Master Fan, "I taught him, who taught me?" ”

"After all, didn't you teach that?"

"You ......"

Teacher Fan blew his beard angrily, this bastard boy is justified at any time, and he has become his fault again.

"Alright, alright!" At the critical moment, it had to be Master Zhen who came out of the round. "Your master and apprentice are also amazing."

Stretching out his hand and gesturing, "Da Lang was noisy when he was so big, and now he is almost eighty years old, and the small ones are not confused, why are they still arguing?" ”

Raised his eyes and looked at Tang Yi, "Da Lang, it's really not good, you just follow Your Majesty, can't you go first?" ”

Good words to persuade him, "Shiniang doesn't read as many books as you old and young, but ......"

"It seems that as a courtier, he is the only one to do the job of Dalang, right? Why do you have to go with your temperament? ”

“......”

Tang Yi was silent for a while, what Zhen Shiniang said was right, in ancient and modern times, Chinese and foreign, the courtiers can do his part, the extremely popular and the king is not suspicious, and the fame and fortune are not allowed by the sky, there is really no second one.

However, Tang Yi is really...... Had to go.

Slowly shaking his head, "It's time to make an end!" ”

After that, get out of the way, ask the master to go first, and want to go downstairs to make a break with this Tokyo Menghua.

Fan Zhongyi glanced at Tang Yi deeply, knowing that he couldn't persuade this disciple.

With a long sigh, he stepped out of the house, and said in his heart: Crazy, crazy today, but if you want to be crazy, there is nowhere to go crazy!

......

————————

When everyone went down the mountain, before they reached the mountain gate, they had already seen a dense crowd standing in front of the mountain.

To be honest, it was also bitter for these officials, Xiao Taizheng Zhao Shu said a word, and these "old people" just slipped around and stood here for a night. It's not frozen, and it's estimated that I'm about to faint.

However, Tang Yi was not thinking about these at this time. Seeing that the civil and military forces of all sizes were there, Tang Yi was a little relieved.

This alone shows that Zhao Shu's little Zhengtai's ability to control the court is no longer idle. Even without him Tang Yi, Zhao Shu is already enough to take charge of the overall situation.

......

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the King of Zhenjiang, opening up the territory and returning to the ...... of Beijing"

"Congratulations ......"

"Congratulations ......"

Before Tang Yi got closer, the sound of congratulatory seals and bowing gifts had already entered his ears.

Is it true or not, maybe how to scold Tang Yi in my heart, this grandson can be calculated.

"Hahaha......" Tang Yi didn't feel the pressure at all, and laughed.

"Colleagues, don't be polite." ”

"Congratulations, wait until you go up, now ......"

"Now let's hurry up and get back to Beijing and meet the officials, right?"

When you hear it, you know each other.

When you get on the boat, you can at least sit down and rest, and besides, you can go to the court earlier, finish your work earlier, and go home early to catch up on sleep.

didn't grind, the civil and military officials followed Tang Yi straight to the dock, just waiting to board the boat and return to Beijing, and it was good to go to Qi He, but Han Qi in the crowd had another idea.

When he got on the boat, he deliberately chose to be on the same boat as Tang Yi, and while Tang Yi was blowing the wind on the deck, Han Cripple leaned over at the right time.

"Zihao, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come unharmed?"

Tang Yi couldn't help but smile lightly when he saw that it was Han Xianggong, but he missed Han Xianggong when he returned to Beijing this time. ”

really missed it, when Han Qi returned to Beijing to join the army, Tang Yi had already led the troops to the battle, which was also the reason why Han Cripple took the initiative to find Tang Yi this time.

At this time, there was no Duke of Wei, and there was no Runan Palace, Tang Zihao was under one person and above tens of thousands of people.

Moreover, as soon as the Taizu Oath Monument comes out, it is likely that his descendants will be above 10,000 people, and the Han family wants to gain a foothold in Beijing, so how can they not come to worship the mountain?

Tang Yi also thought so, but unfortunately, in his opinion, it was completely unnecessary.

"Han Xianggong!"

Tang Yi got straight to the point, the two had no friendship, and there was no need to be polite.

"The grievances of living, you and I are gone." glanced at Han Qi's broken leg. "As long as Han Xianggong doesn't care, Yi is not a person who cares."

"This time the Han Prime Minister returned to the DPRK, and the official family also valued the ability of the Han Minister, not anything else."

"So......" Tang Yi paused, his face flat. Han Xiangda doesn't have to kick and be uneasy, as long as he does his errands well, everything is easy to say. ”

......

Tang Yi has already said it bluntly, work hard, don't think about anything else, and don't come to me to worship the mountain.

It's a pity that Tang Yi was wrong.

Han Cripple did come to worship the head of the mountain, but Han Qi was Han Qi, and he didn't plan to kneel and lick in a low voice.

With Tang Yi's attitude, Han Cripple's pride as a literati came up, and he was a little unhappy.

His face was slightly cold, and he said: "It is Qi's duty to be a good errand, whether it is now or in the past, Qi has a clear conscience." ”

also subconsciously glanced at his broken leg and added, "Including the time when the quilt Zihao broke his leg." ”

"yes!" Tang Yi smiled with relief and sighed.

Looking at the riverbank at dawn, "This is also a lovely place in this era!" ”

"Huh?" Han Qi was stunned, and he didn't know where Tang Yi got his feelings.

Tang Yi didn't look at him either, and continued: "The world says that I am a Tang madman, and I don't care about it when I am crazy, and my six relatives don't recognize it. ”

"However, Han Xiangke has ever wondered, why hasn't Yi killed an enemy in 20 years?"

"This ......"

Han Qi thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt lost, it seemed that it was really huh?

Tang Yi has not killed a literati in the past 20 years, no matter how far the court struggle and party struggle have become, at least he has not killed a Song person.

"Why?"

"Because...... And save! ”

Tang Yi turned his head and smiled, "The Great Song Dynasty does have a lot of problems, and literati and political enemies do have something to hate. However, fortunately, everyone still has a limit. ”

In Tang Yi's heart, although the Great Song Dynasty also has all kinds of ills, although the literati also have dirty. However, at least they still remember the sage books they read, and at least they have not forgotten their duty in addition to the party struggle.

To put it bluntly, whether it is Han Qi or Wang Anshi, including the former Jia Changchao, Wei Guogong, and King Runan, they are all hateful.

However, they forgot their righteousness for the sake of profit, they did whatever it took to do so, they thought about persecuting political enemies, and they thought about communicating with foreign countries, but they never used the people's livelihood and the people as bargaining chips, let alone disregarding people's lives for their own interests.

This is also the reason why Tang Yi loves the Great Song Dynasty and is willing to travel for the Great Song Dynasty for 20 years.

In Du Yan's words before his death, it is worth it.

"If there is a bottom line, there is still salvation."

"......" Han Qi was silent for a while.

To be honest, he didn't like Tang Yi to talk like this.

It may be that his nature of being different from each other several times and pursuing profits is somewhat contrary to the bottom line that Tang Yi said, and he happened to be stung by Tang Yi's words.

He didn't like Tang Yi's "hypocrisy" like a saint even more.

"People ......"

"There is something else besides the will of the sages."

"Oh?" Tang Yi looked at Han Qi playfully, a little puzzled, why did he suddenly come up with such a sentence.

I only heard Han Qi say: "People not only have faith, but also firewood, rice, oil, salt, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, seven emotions and six desires, and their own ......"

"So what?"

"So?" Han Qi laughed back, looking at Tang Yi's eyes with mockery.

"Zihao's 'saved' and 'worthy' are the teachings of the sages, the righteousness in the book, too noble, and too far away."

"Qi has understood a truth since Qingli: the sage is righteous and can save the country, but he can't save himself."

"Otherwise, how could Xiwen, Uncle Yong, Shi Lu, and me be abandoned like chess pieces by the first emperor and wander into the rivers and lakes?"

"And if you can't even save yourself, how can you save the country?"

"In the past 20 years, Qi has been saving himself, how can he have the leisure to save the country?"

"Zihao's righteousness, hehe......"

Speaking of this, Han Qi laughed out loud, "It's just a winner's show-off!" ”

didn't give Tang Yi a chance to refute, and continued: "Zihao seems to be boundless in righteousness, selfless and fearless, that's because Zihao has been winning!" ”

"You said you don't love money, but the trend of Guanlan has swept the world, and you Tang Zihao are not the richest people in the world?"

"You say that you are selfless for the country, but looking at the court, it is not all your Tang Zihao's henchmen who cover the sky?"

"You say you don't love power, but what if you take off the king? Isn't it still the power of the world, covering the sky with one hand? ”

"You said that you did your best for the first emperor, but the oath monument is standing there, your Tang family sits on an equal footing with the Son of Heaven, and you have been a great minister for generations, and you are not the one who benefits the most?"

"It's precisely because you've been winning that you can be ashamed to mock us losers, so why should Zihao pretend to be hypocritical to Qidu?"

That's right, in Han Qi's eyes, Tang Yi is hypocrisy, and it is extremely hypocritical.

Saying that he doesn't want anything, he has already gotten everything.

Not only did you get it, but you also persuaded others to give it up, this is not hypocrisy, what is it?

“......”

Tang Yi was silent for a while, but he didn't have the slightest hint of anger. On the contrary, he even likes Han Qi a little. At least, he was speaking from his heart.

Abruptly asked: "Then Han Xianggong has not thought about it, why does Yi keep winning?" ”

"......" This time it was Han Qi's turn to be speechless.

"Why do you keep winning?"

He really didn't want to admit it, because Tang Yi was smarter and stronger than him.

Alas, this is true.

"I can't say that with Zihao's talent, no one in the world today can win from Zihao."

"Definitely." Tang Yi shook his head and denied it.

"In terms of talent, in the world, Yi is not the top."

"Why is that?"

Tang Yi didn't answer immediately, but seemed to have a memory.

"I remember that back then, when I entered Beijing with Master Fan, my master and apprentice discussed an ancestral aphorism in the carriage, perhaps...... That's why I keep winning, right? ”

"Oh?" Han Qi was even more curious. "What ancestral aphorism?"

"Whatever you want, you suffer...... If you don't want to, you're just! ”

looked directly at Han Qi, "The human desires that Han Xiang said are all ignored, so I can always win!" ”

He turned around and wanted to go back into the cabin.

Before entering the cabin, he threw another sentence to Han Qi: "I am not the same person as Han Xiang, and Han Xiang will never understand my 'hypocrisy'." ”

"However, Yi can be a hypocritical person again to show Han Xianggong, I hope Han Xianggong will understand and be a hypocritical person."

......

Han Qi was fixed there, his face was hot.

Tang Yi's words were tantamount to telling him that the two of us are not of the same grade.

At this time, Han Cripple was really full of expectations, he wanted to take a look and see how Tang Yi was going to impress him.

......
