Zhong Shidao's fate was ultimately unrestrained. Ten days later, with the abolition of the army's military yamen in the North End, the army was disbanded, and the troops returned to their original places. After three rejections, Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, was "forced" to accept Zhong Shidao's request for retirement, allowing him to return to his hometown to retire. At the same time, he rewarded him with a 5,000 taels of gold, a large mansion in Jingzhao Mansion, and 5,000 hectares of land.

At the same time, considering that Zhong Shidao repeatedly refused to accept the title of Prince of Guangyang, Zhao Ji did not force him and instead appointed him as Duke Yong. The only crown of the king of the Song Dynasty, which was a different surname, was hanging high again, attracting countless people to covet it.

After approving Zhong Shidao's request to retire, Emperor Zhao Ji was in a good mood and immediately approved the reward of the Northern Expedition Eastern Army. This was something that 80,000 soldiers of the Eastern Army had been looking forward to for a long time. Before the reward of reward was approved, no one had the intention to return to their hometown.

So when the proclamation official announced the news that the reward book was approved, the entire military camp was in a state of excitement. Generals were promoted and soldiers were rewarded. Isn’t they fighting desperately for this?

The next morning, when Zhong Shizhong slowly lowered the Northern Expedition flag under the gaze of 80,000 people, the military yamen was officially disbanded and everyone bid farewell one by one, but more people came to the capital to drink happily, or went to the brothel to buy spring vents.

On the second floor of Qingfeng Restaurant, Li Yanqing, Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Niu Gao sat at a table by the window and drank and said goodbye. Yue Fei was named Xiangzhou Tuanjian and would return to his hometown to take office tomorrow. It is quite interesting to say. Xiangzhou Tuanjian is actually Wang Gui's old position, and Wang Gui has been vacant after resigning.

Zong Ze had sought Yue Fei's opinions before. Yue Fei wanted to go back to his hometown to take care of his parents, but this is the only one suitable position in Xiangzhou, so he had to take office.

Both Wang Gui and Niu Gao will go to Hedong Army to serve. Wang Gui is the sixth-rank commander, and Niu Gao is the seventh-rank commander. This is the result of Li Yanqing's persuasion to Zhong Shidao. Otherwise, with Zhong Shidao's humility, his subordinates will have to take up their positions.

Li Yanqing didn't do it. The city of Yanjing was defeated by his right army with his life. In the end, the benefits were given to others, but his subordinates were drunk. Such things would not work if they were put on anyone.

Li Yanqing argued with reason, but in the end, Zhong Shidao had to give in. All the partial generals under Li Yanqing took up the actual positions of commander or deputy commander, commanding an army of ranging from thousands of people.

"Old Tang is in trouble this time!"

Wang Gui sighed and said, "I have advised him many times before, not to get too close to people like Tong Guan. It's okay to get close, but you have to have a background background, or it's good that you have money, but Lao Tang doesn't have it either. Now he knows that he is amazing, and Tong Guan throws him out to the end and gets beaten to the end."

Li Yanqing also heard the rumors. After praising the Eastern Route Army, the court has now begun to hold the entire Western Route Army responsible for the destruction of the Western Route Army. Tong Guan had no choice but to suspend his post and reflect on his punishment.

But after all, the blame for the destruction of the entire army was there. The big fish above refused to bear it, so the shrimps below could only bear it. In addition to the commander Xin Xingzong who was dismissed from office and served as an army, several deputy commanders were also dismissed. In addition, Tong Guan submitted a list of responsibilities for more than 30 people, and the commander Tang Huai was listed. In the end, all his official positions were removed and demoted to an ordinary soldier. Tang Huai had to return home in disgrace.

At this time, Niu Gao, who had been silent, suddenly said in a deep voice: "It is God's favor to be able to escape from a hundred thousand troops. There will be gains and losses, otherwise he will have a big problem sooner or later."

Li Yanqing looked at Niu Gao in surprise. He didn't expect that this taciturn man could actually say these profound words.

"Old Li, if you have time, go and see Lao Tang!" Wang Gui bit his lip and said this after a while.

Li Yanqing smiled slightly. Why didn’t he understand what Wang Gui meant? After all, Wang Gui married Tang Huai’s sister. No matter how bad the relationship was, he could not erase his brother-in-law’s affection.

"I got it. If I have the chance to go back to Tangyin, I'll go see him."

Li Yanqing thought for a while and said to Yue Fei: "I have a few good stones there. When you go home, you give them to Tang Huai's father. It's my wish to be a junior."

Tang Huai's father loved collecting stones, which was something they knew since childhood. At this time, Li Yanqing gave Tang Huai's father stones, of course, was comforting Tang Huai in a tactful way, and at the same time gave him a glimmer of hope. Tang Huai was his friend since childhood. Although he was a little more fame and fortune, he got on Tong Guan's pirate ship, didn't he almost get on Tong Guan's pirate ship back then?

Yue Fei nodded and asked again: "Where has Yanqing been booked?"

Li Yanqing shook his head, and it was funny to say that he was the first general to be appointed as an official, but he was the last general who didn't know where he was going.

The officials of the Song Dynasty paid attention to the "integration of officials and duties". He already had an official position, a fourth-rank official, and a fourth-rank official, and a fourth-rank official, a military officer, and a military officer, but the specific responsibilities were not yet. This is the key. His previous responsibilities were the commander of the Right Army, but the Northern Expedition Army had been dissolved, and the responsibilities of the Right Army were also disappeared. He could only find a way to find another way to seek a higher position.

"Then Yanqing plans to stay in Beijing or go to a place?" Yue Fei continued to ask.

He knew that with the background of Li Yanqing's son-in-law, it was impossible to have nothing to do. He wanted to know Li Yanqing's future plans.

At this time, Wang Gui and Niu Gao looked at him together, which was something they wanted to know.

In front of several friends, Li Yanqing did not want to hide it, so he smiled and said, "I want to go to Taiyuan to become the prefect!"

If he said this a year ago, no one would believe that he was a small county magistrate of the eighth rank at that time. Now he is a high-ranking official in the fourth rank and a dignified third-rank marquis of Tangyin County. He is fully qualified to be the prefect. Of course, the prefect of Kaifeng is still a little short of the time. He is a real official who can only be a third rank but must at least be a third rank rank.

Wang Gui and Niu Gao were overjoyed, and Wang Gui jumped up and said, "We are also in Taiyuan, so why can we come out to drink again?"

Li Yanqing knocked on each of them with chopsticks, "Don't be too happy too early. I just said that I want to go to Taiyuan, but I don't have to go there!"

Wang Gui smiled, "Of course we understand, the son-in-law of the Cao family! How could he go wherever he wanted?"

After saying that, he squeezed his eyes at Yue Fei and Niu Gao again, and even Yue Fei, the old-fashioned, couldn't help but laugh tacitly.

Li Yanqing had no choice but to raise his glass and smile: "Come on! Let's have a drink together to practice it for the three brothers, and at the same time I wish the three of you a bright future and a bright future!"

.........

Farewell to his three friends, Li Yanqing also returned to his home. This was his first time in two months of his war. Cao Yun and the other two had already prepared a banquet. Although Li Yanqing had already drunk alcohol in the afternoon, he did not dare to make excuses to walk away, so he had to sit down and have dinner with his family again. During the meal, he was having fun and laughter continued. For a moment, Li Yanqing gradually forgot the war in Yanjing and the sadness of Zhong Shuai leaving.

At night, he slept in Sisi's room, and the separation was better than the newlyweds. On that night, Li Yanqing enjoyed all the tenderness. Sisi naturally had a long drought and welcoming sweet rain, and the effect was also very significant. The next day, she became bright and white, and she was particularly gorgeous, as if all her vitality was radiant overnight.

But Li Yanqing did not rest the next day. He came to Liang Shicheng's mansion early in the morning. He and Cao Ping discussed in advance that he had to do a good job in Liang Shicheng's superficial skills. A villain cannot have a close relationship with others, but he cannot offend him.

However, as Li Yanqing spent more time in the officialdom, the more things he knew. For example, Cao Sheng said that Wang Ding was Liang Shicheng's biggest confidant, but Li Yanqing disagreed. At the beginning, he thought Deng Yong was the biggest confidant of Liang Shicheng, but a Kaifeng prefecture appeared.

Li Yanqing now realized that Liang Shicheng's biggest confidant would never show up easily, and this person would never reveal his identity until the critical moment.

He only waited in front of the Liang Mansion for a while, and the courtyard led him into the mansion. "Li Chengxuan is lucky. Usually, Master Xunxiu is in the palace. Today is an exception, and Li Chengxuan is here."

Li Yanqing smiled bitterly in his heart. The political awareness of these housekeepers was extraordinary, and he actually knew that he had been named Chengxuan envoy.

Soon, Li Yanqing came to Liang Shicheng's study. He stopped as usual. The courtyard smiled and said, "The master said, you can go in directly, no need to inform me!"

Li Yanqing was not surprised. He had this privilege before. Later, after being indifferent to Liang Shicheng due to the prince's affairs, the privilege was cancelled. He actually came back today. It was probably because he came to visit him the next day after he returned home.

Li Yanqing walked directly into the study and saw Liang Shicheng standing at the table writing. Before he could salute, Liang Shicheng waved to him with a smile, "Yanqing Come and see my calligraphy. It is the best I have written this year."

"It seems that the Taifu feels very good today!"

Li Yanqing walked forward with a smile, but found that he was not writing the character Su, but Zhao Ji's thin gold style, and it was written in a decent manner, with a bit of Zhao Ji's charm.

Li Yanqing nodded and smiled, "The brand of Baoyanzhai is a bit old, my father is worried! I'm not sure, I've found a solution."

Li Yanqing's explicit praising made Liang Shicheng feel very comfortable. He laughed: "It's really true. No matter how vivid I write, it can't replace it."

He put down his pen and smiled, "Sit down and talk!"
