30. Today, the king praises him for being kind

Hong Jing came to buy fourteen war horses on this trip, and they were the kind of war horses that would not jump when hearing the sound of gunfire. Although all twelve stallions were gelded, it was still not a loss.

Such a large sum of money for an event must be treated with caution. Moreover, Hamgyong Province near the north is not a good place to sell it. You have to take it to Hanyang to sell it at a good price.

Arrangements were made for most of his men and the two mares to return to Tieshan, and Li Zaichao was asked to choose two who could ride horses, and the grooms to take care of the horses, and follow Hong Jing back and forth to Hanyang.

For this great achievement, one must submit a resume to Li Cao. Moreover, Li Cao's judge, Zhao Zhenkuan, is Zhao Wanyong's father. Hong Jinglai and Zhao Wanyong were friends of the same age, so it shouldn't be difficult to say a few words.

Although winning the battle is not as good as a great success, the spring breeze is so exciting that horses are hoofed and they can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day. This is definitely in line with the thoughts of Min Tinghye and his party at this time.

A group of officials who were waiting to return to Hanyang to be promoted and rewarded ran as fast as they could to return home.

When I entered Gyeonggi-do, I heard the elders on the street talking about the story of how Min Lingjian, the ambassador, captured the Tatar chieftain and returned with a great victory. Two days ago, Yiding, who was going to Hanyang with eight pounds of Sili on his back, just passed here.

After hearing this, Min Tinghye, who was feeling hot inside, smiled like a flower, stroked his beard and nodded.

Upon entering Byokjeokwan, King Sunjong had already sent the imperial eunuch and hundreds of civil and military officials headed by Gongcao Banshu Jin Linshun to greet him in the suburbs.

Jin Linshun, on behalf of King Sunjong, gave royal wine and thirty-two prostitutes to sing and dance to welcome Min Ting's return.

There are people watching along the way. Regardless of ancient and modern times, the people in the capital are always much more politically sensitive than ordinary people. Previously, the five beacon towers on the north mountain of Hanyang lit up the smoke, indicating to the people of Hanyang that there was an invasion of thousands of Tatar soldiers.

At that time, the long-lasting and almost dust-laden memories in the minds of the people of Hanyang and Beijing were suddenly opened, and the Tatars invaded!

The city is in commotion!

But at noon that day, I saw Min Tingxu, dressed in white robes, light horse and cloth, loyal to the king, leaving the city with a large royal flag that was said to be used by Li Chenggui.

Min Lingjian went north to fight against the Tartars!

Common people don't know anything about national affairs. They only know that at the most critical moment of the country, the one who stood up was Min Tinghye, the right official of the Seungjeongyuan Hall.

In an instant, Min Tinghye became the great savior of the people of Hanyang, and thousands of families admired him as a great hero.

All the stories on the streets are about Min Tingxu eradicating violence, punishing evil and promoting good. There are even novel writers who wrote some stories that combine folk stories, such as "Min Shiyu secretly traveled to Yangzhou, Jin Kuan was daring after hearing the words", "Ling Jian single"

Riding out of six towns, the Tatar chiefs from all directions gathered together to confer their heads."

In particular, all the stories about Min Tingyue distributing grain to the Huanghai Road to provide disaster relief and defeating Master Zheng's thieves were revealed. There was even a story about how Min Tingyue argued with Emperor Jiaqing in the Old Summer Palace and hit a pillar with his head, causing blood to flow.

Preserving North Korea | The story of the national body.

The people need a good official so much!

Min Tinghye, who had always been an "innocent" official, met all the expectations of the people at the right time. Coupled with his success in expelling the Tartars, his reputation in Hanyang was unparalleled for a while.

Scholars Lin Qingyi also regarded Min Tingyu as Li Zhongwu's second, and he was quite willing to serve as Min's supervisor and generously swallow up Hu Jie.

When Min Tinghye entered the city, the whole city was in a sensation. Pu Zongqing and Jin Zuchun personally held a banquet at the city gate to entertain Min Tinghye.

Then Min Tinghye entered Changgyeonggung Palace surrounded by a sea of ​​people. King Sunjong went to the Mingzheng Gate and opened the door for him in person, beating drums and returning the king's banner to the inner palace. The king and his ministers met each other very well.

King Sunjong immediately ordered the bell to be rang and ascended to the palace. He held Min Junghyeok's hand in the square in front of Myeongjeongjeon and asked all civil and military officials to congratulate him. As King Sunjong's first victory since he succeeded to the throne, this great victory was

This is a clear proof of his obedience to nature and his inheritance of great power.

The next day, Sili Bajin, who was actually in a semi-comatose state with only one breath left, was put into an oxcart and escorted to the ancestral temple by Hanyang's military officer disciples.

The crowd stirred again. Look, it's the Tatar chieftain from the Luo Chan Kingdom. Thousands of cavalry invaded the border and were severely annihilated by Ambassador Min. Now that they have been captured in Hanyang, they will soon be sacrificed to the ancestral temple.

Everyone else was in high spirits and beaming with joy. Only Hong Jinglai was in great pain. In order to find an official for Hong Jinglai who would only take money and do no work, Min Tinghye casually hired a cemetery minister for Hong Jinglai.

This cemetery is naturally the mausoleum of King Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Dao Hongde, Xianmo Wencheng, Wulie Shengrenzhuangxiao dawang, and Qing Dynasty posthumous king Gongxuan Zhengzong.

Who knew that King Zhengzong had just stretched his legs at that time? Others who had stretched their legs earlier had naturally been enshrined, and this was the only one who could be arranged for Hong Jing.

As his son, King Sunjong has achieved a great victory. Should he tell his father?

Need more to say?

Hong Jing, let’s run!

Holding the letter of condolences to the late king written by Jin Zushun, Hong Jinglai had to memorize it overnight, and then recite it loudly on behalf of King Sunjong at today's sacrificial ceremony.

Forget it, after reciting it, I still have to fly to Yangzhou and burn the inscription to the authentic king in front of Jianling’s shrine.

Moreover, they had to wear long formal attires when performing sacrifices. Jinzu Chun, Min Ting, and others all wore five-beam crowns (made in the Ming Dynasty. The ceremonial attire worn by the monarchs and ministers of Korea was two-level less than the Ming Dynasty system, so Chinese ministers wore seven-beam crowns).

Standing at the foot of the steps.

Only Hong Jinglai knelt down next to King Sunjong and recited the memorial ceremony on his behalf. Although it was September, the weather had not completely turned cold and could even be called hot.

Wearing a heavy formal dress, he knelt down on the mat with his hands hanging down and recited the lyrics as if he were singing. King Sunjong, who was usually able to hold an umbrella, couldn't hold an umbrella, let alone Hong Kyung's arrival, so he just left it in the sun.

The ode should not be too fast, it should be even, the voice should be loud, and it should be subdued. Hong Jinglai should be in a state of ecstasy.

I thought that I would be an official who could just wait for death, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be a bad thing.

It wasn't until Si Li was naked (shielded), wearing only a pair of large underpants, that he was escorted up, stabbed, and the ceremony ended, and Hong Jinglai finally no longer had to kneel.

It’s over, it’s finally over!

He was so happy in his heart that all that was left was to go to Yangzhou to burn paper, and finally he no longer had to kneel! Hong Jinglai glanced at King Sunjong, hoping that he would leave quickly.

The chamberlains and other eunuchs came up to serve King Sunjong before he returned to the palace. The child was too hot even wearing a royal robe.

"Are you Hong Jinglai?" King Sunzong suddenly spoke as he lowered his head and glanced at the priest kneeling in front of him.

"Reporting to your highness, I have indeed called you Hong Jinglai." Hong Jinglai answered quickly.

"Are you the grandson of the Hong family who was convicted of treason last time? Are you also the grandnephew of Concubine Hong of Huiqing Palace?"

"That's right, minister!"

"Oh~~~, I read your Imperial Examination Paper, and your answers were very good. I didn't expect that you would only hold such a minor position as Lin Lang."

"Being able to offer sacrifices to the late king is a great favor from His Highness!"
