~~~~~~

It was almost exactly what Li Yuanqing expected.

After a series of boring drake voices, Li Yuanqing's title was promoted to Prince Taishi, Wu Xun was promoted to General Jinwu, and Governor Tongzhi. Reluctantly, it was a big promotion.

But the damn prince's grand master is the emperor or the prince's intellectual education teacher. He, Li Yuanqing, is just a martial artist. How can he teach the emperor these things?

As for General Jinwu, Governor Tongzhi, etc., the imperial court should have awarded Li Yuanqing a few years ago, but it was delayed until now.

However, "selling dog meat on a sheep's head" is something that is closely guarded in China's official culture.

Anyone who really cares about this thing cannot stand in this situation.

Something is always better than nothing.

Regardless of whether his position is a dry one, anyway~~, this honor guard and salary must not be missing from his Li Yuanqing.

"My lord, Li Yuanqing, thank you for your kindness. Long live my emperor."

After the reward was awarded, Li Yuanqing kowtowed to Emperor Chongzhen in a formal manner and thanked him.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled 'haha', looked into Li Yuanqing's eyes and said: "Li Junmen, I have high hopes for you~. I hope you can work hard and steadily to calm down the situation in southern Liaoning and regain our homeland of the Ming Dynasty for me.

, to share the worries of the imperial court and the people!"

How could Li Yuanqing not understand the profound meaning of Emperor Chongzhen? He kowtowed hurriedly and respectfully and said: "I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Li Yuanqing's reward was completed, and the entire dynasty was coming to an end.

During this Chinese New Year, everything has been handed over and the planning is almost done. Who can focus on this anymore?

Emperor Chongzhen no longer hesitated and directly announced the disbandment of the dynasty.

After the emperor left, the atmosphere in the palace immediately relaxed a lot.

The ministers began to stretch their arms and legs and left the hall in an orderly manner.

After all, among these people, Li Yuanqing is absolutely young even though he will be thirty in two days.

But even a great young man like Li Yuanqing, who is in his prime, can't bear to stand all morning under the pressure of the majestic palace and maintain a high degree of mental concentration, let alone...

These old guys are here.

Although the original intention of this early dynasty system was good, the real effect is probably far from what it was when the great sages planned it.

If there is a chance, this must be changed.

With miscellaneous thoughts in his mind, Li Yuanqing quietly followed the crowd and arrived outside the main hall.

Perhaps the Jinyuan offensive of giving gifts yesterday had a lot of effect. Along the way, many civil servants took the initiative to exchange greetings with Li Yuanqing to show their closeness.

Li Yuanqing naturally exchanged simple greetings with them, even if they didn't know each other, he always looked familiar.

After leaving the Huangji Hall, Li Yuanqing thought that Emperor Chongzhen would summon him again to give him a few words of encouragement. After waiting for more than ten minutes, he still received no news.

Li Yuanqing no longer hesitated and blended directly into the crowd of people at low tide, preparing to leave the palace.

By this time, the snow had stopped, but the wind was extremely strong.

Most of the majestic blue-tiled red walls are covered by white snow foam, and the neat and tall towering green pines add a bit of soothing tenderness to the Forbidden City in winter.

Li Yuanqing did not receive any more news until he left the palace. Li Yuanqing also understood that Emperor Chongzhen was probably eager to celebrate the New Year at this time.

Arriving outside the palace gate, Yang Lei and a group of soldiers had been waiting for a long time. Li Yuanqing waved to them, indicating that they should keep quiet, and got on the carriage directly.

On the way out of the palace, Li Yuanqing had already used money to ask several young eunuchs who were leading the way. Today, except for a few big bosses who had to go to meet the emperor alone, the rest of them and the entire court were officially on holiday.

With Li Yuanqing's status at this time, there was no need for Li Yuanqing to pick up the official robe seal after the award, including a series of follow-up documents.

After Li Yuanqing leaves the city, he can just leave his own soldiers to retrieve it.

Li Yuanqing wanted to return directly to Sanfu Inn, but suddenly he remembered that Wang Chengen always had to make an explanation, which could be regarded as a sounding board between him and Emperor Chongzhen.

At this time, it was not yet Chen time, about 6:30 in the morning, and after passing Chang'an Street, the number of cars and horses suddenly decreased a lot.

Li Yuanqing ordered Yang Lei to call the soldiers, and asked the Sanfu Inn to leave the city first, and went directly to Wang Chengen's residence.

Not long after the announcement, Wang Xiu rushed out to greet him.

Although this guy's clothes were neatly packed, there were still a few particles of eye droppings in his eyes, which were almost glued to his already small eyes. It was obvious that he was woken up in a hurry before he woke up.

However, with the lesson from the previous time and giving him a hundred courage, Wang Xiu would never dare to neglect Li Yuanqing again. He bowed his hands respectfully and said with a smile: "Li Shuai, why are you here so early?"

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Has the prince come back? Yuan Qing has something to do and wants to talk to the prince."

Wang Xiu hurriedly said: "Li Shuai, to tell you the truth, my father has been suffering from the cold these past few days and has been lying in bed. Please go to the living room to rest for a while, and I will go to help you immediately."

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but slap his forehead hard, "Brother Wang, it's such a big thing. The prince is actually ill. You, why didn't you send someone to inform Yuan Qing?"

Wang Xiu hurriedly explained: "Li Shuai, it's not that I didn't tell Li Shuai. It's actually my father's instructions..."

After exchanging pleasantries with Wang Xiu, Wang Xiu quickly went to Wang Chengen's place to communicate.

Looking at the simple garden covered with snow outside the living room, Li Yuanqing felt a little unspeakable in his heart.

The country is picturesque and the country is beautiful, but it’s a pity...

When the truth is false, the false is also true, and when the false is true, the true is also false.

There are too many things in this world. If you really want to follow your conscience, then it is just a dream.

Not long after, Wang Xiu came back quickly and said respectfully: "Li Shuai, father, please come over."

Li Yuanqing respectfully hugged Wang Xiu and said, "Brother Wang, Yuan Qing will keep your friendship in mind."

"Hehehe..."

Wang Xiu smiled hurriedly: "Li Shuai, I can't be treated like Li Shuai..."

Li Yuanqing smiled and patted his shoulder, motioning for him to lead the way.

…………

"Yuan Qing, you, are you leaving today?"

The air in Wang Chengen's bedroom was slightly turbid. He was lying on the bed, not yet fully up, but his face was still normal.

Li Yuanqing said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Yuan Qing originally wanted to stay in the capital for a longer period of time, but the period at the beginning of the first lunar month is the traditional troop dispatch season for the Jin army. Yuan Qing has been away for almost two months, so he is afraid that something unexpected will happen."

Wang Chengen nodded slowly, his expression softened slightly, and he smiled and said: "Yuan Qing, thank you for your hard work these days."

Li Yuanqing hurriedly said respectfully: "My lord, you must take care of yourself. You, you are the backbone of Yuan Qing's heart."

Wang Chengen smiled slightly and said, "Yuan Qing, don't worry. Although this old bone of the Za family has some minor problems, it can't be restored for a while. Yuan Qing, I hope that by this time next year, the Za family can hear the good news about your Haizhou."

.”

Li Yuanqing knelt on the ground respectfully and kowtowed to Wang Chengen several times, "Your Majesty, Yuan Qing will do his best!"

…………

After leaving Wang Chengen's mansion, Yang Lei had already bought a lot of cooked meat and shochu. Li Yuanqing kept some for himself to eat in the carriage, and the group went straight to Chaoyang Gate.

After leaving the city through Chaoyang Gate, they rushed to the official road outside Guangqu Gate and met up with the female relatives at Sanfu Inn.

After successfully leaving the city, Li Yuanqing's mood suddenly relaxed a lot.

Although the capital is good, at this time, he, Li Yuanqing, is not the master after all.

Today, although it is already the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, there are still a lot of people coming in and out near the city gate, especially many small merchants and hawkers, who are carrying all kinds of goods into the city, hoping to buy some goods at the end of this new year.

At this critical moment, fill your pockets more fully.

The originally pure white snow outside Chaoyang Gate looked a little muddy due to the many messy footprints, but it added a lot of fireworks.

Just after noon, outside a manor twelve or three miles outside Guangqumen, Li Yuanqing and his party successfully reunited with the female relatives of Sanfu Inn and continued to head east.

However, when they parted, Li Yuanqing saw in a daze that the petite Kyoko Kubo was hidden in the crowd, her face already covered with tears that could not be concealed.

Li Yuanqing wanted to call her into the carriage and say something, but after thinking for a moment, he finally gave up the idea and closed the carriage curtain.

The separation today is just for a better reunion tomorrow.

There were originally many densely populated manors on both sides of the official road. However, due to the entry of the Tatars at the beginning of the year, the area around the capital was extremely damaged, and these manors were also severely affected.

After more than half a year, some manors have been reorganized by their owners, but many more are still in a semi-abandoned state.

Presumably, the previous entry of the Tatars directly into the city will have a lasting impact on all aspects surrounding the capital.

These manors, which were once almost sky-high in price, are now probably worth less than a few cents.

Before, Li Yuanqing would still be somewhat interested in these manors, but now, he no longer has any nostalgia.

Time is about to reach the third year of Chongzhen. There are too many things, and he must speed up and take precautions.

In the evening, Li Yuanqing successfully arrived at the manor on the outskirts of Beijing that Yang Jiao's mother had originally purchased, and joined the soldiers who had stayed behind.

First, he held a short meeting with Yang Lei and all the soldiers to plan the defense deployment and appease the soldiers. Then Li Yuanqing held a banquet in the manor to entertain the female relatives he had harvested during his visit to Beijing.

At this time, in addition to the original Feng'er and several personal maids of Li Yuanqing, there were also eight palace maids on Lin Ling's side, two little girls Shi'er Hua'er, Bai Erniang, and more than a dozen people on Miss Yan Xi's side, plus

When I got up, there were already thirty people.

Sitting on Li Yuanqing's main seat and looking over, surrounded by plump and thin birds, surrounded by birds and birds, it was as if I was immersed in flowers.
