Chapter 363 Reunion

The gifts presented by Wu Xin and others were all the finest items among the treasures that the Western Xia royal family had worked hard to collect. Considering Wang Jinghui's wealth, those vulgar yellow and white items were not included in the list. With the help of some specialized talents, they carefully selected more than a dozen seemingly light but priceless treasures as birthday gifts.

Although the prosperity of Buddhism in the Song Dynasty had not reached the point where the court ordered the entire Buddha, Buddhism was in an important period of cultural integration with local culture Taoism and Confucianism. For example, Wang Anshi, Su Shi and others had a very deep understanding of Buddhist scriptures and had deep contact with people in Buddhism. Although Zhao Qianyu knew that her husband was not jealous of ghosts and gods, she was devoutly willing to pay homage to Buddha. What made her most happy among the gifts from Wuxin and others was the six-foot white jade statue of Guanyin carved from beautiful Hotan jade.

Even though Wang Jinghui was used to seeing the rare treasures in this world, he couldn't help but take a breath in the face of the birthday gifts presented by Wuxin and others, especially the six-foot-high white jade Guanyin statue was so incredible in his eyes - he had never even heard of such a large white jade Guanyin statue of mutton fat. It was really amazing. This could no longer be described as "priceless" and it was not an exaggeration to "a rare treasure in the world". These students are really interested!

"Hairong, pick out the prohibited things inside, so as not to be deceived by those who are interested in me!" Wang Jinghui said coldly.

It was the servant who Wuxin invited to present the gift. He stood up and carefully sorted more than a dozen priceless gifts. After the selection, only three or four things were left. After Wuxin and the others saw it, they understood in their hearts that they only chose the best things, but they forgot the level. These things themselves were collected by the Western Xia royal family, and there were too many illegal things such as dragons and phoenixes on it. Although the court today does not strictly control this kind of ritual card system, there are only one person who can use some things - the emperor!

After Hairong finished the selection, he stood back to his position. Although most of the gifts were eliminated in violation of regulations, fortunately, the six-foot-high white jade Guanyin stayed, although it was not the most precious place. However, Wuxin and others knew that this Guanyin statue was the most popular of the mistress. They might have to wait for the birthday of the Empress Dowager in a few months, and this Guanyin statue could be just as a gift to the Empress Dowager.

Zhao Qianyu walked to Wang Jinghui and chuckled and said, "Can you blame Wuxin and the others? You can't even tell me it yourself!" After that, he turned around and said, "You got it based on your own ability. I will accept it this time, but don't give such a valuable gift next time. You are also rushing over from the northwest day and night. I have already told you, so you can go down with the Hongyue and rest first. The rooms are all places you have lived in before. They have not changed at all!"

Wang Jinghui's face turned red after hearing his wife's words. He did not know much about these rituals, but he understood that the Song Dynasty was the peak dynasty of Confucianism's rule. The core of the idea that Confucianism believed in was "ritual". Anyone can use anything. This is not wrong at all. Maybe he will capsize in this gutter, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand. He can train a group of people to master these complex things. Hairong is a talent to learn martial arts with Eunuch Zhao. By the way, he also has to learn various court etiquettes. So when Wang Jinghui saw the dragon statistics pattern and phoenix pattern objects on these things, he first wanted Hairong to identify whether it was violated. Unexpectedly, his wife revealed her true feelings and almost couldn't raise her head in front of the students. In addition to smiling bitterly to cover up his embarrassment, he stood beside his wife like wood.

Wuxin and the others were the first to follow Wang Jinghui. At that time, Wang Jinghui didn't know Zhao Qianyu, so naturally he didn't expect to become the prince consort one day. He didn't think about adding royal etiquette in cultivating talents. However, if you want to learn and understand etiquette, they did choose one that was much better than their husband, but they were negligent in choosing gifts.

Don’t look at Wang Jinghui’s interactions with the emperor and the ministers. He does not value etiquette, but he is famous for being cautious and cautious. This kind of mind has deeply influenced his students. Although most of the gifts he had chosen were removed, the words of the mistress were full of profound meaning. If you savor it carefully, you can understand that the mistress was on their side. At the same time, when you learned that the room in the husband’s mansion was still retained intact. This is probably Wang Jinghui’s idea. He was moved for a moment and didn’t know what to say. He just saluted the husband and his wife silently, and walked out of Tingyu Pavilion under the leadership of Hongyue.

"Actually, it's great to keep them by your side! Why do you have to expel them all? They are all condensed by your hard work!" Zhao Qianyu leaned gently on Wang Jinghui's back and said leisurely.

"The children will grow up after all, and I can't take care of them for the rest of my life. Besides, they have their own bright future, so I can't block their way!" Wang Jinghui turned around and hugged his wife in his arms and said, "They are very good and very filial! But birds will eventually fly high. If they always lie in the nest, wouldn't it make your husband look too incompetent?!"

Zhao Qianyu was amused by Wang Jinghui, but she still frowned and said, "These children were taught by you with your backhand. They are as stubborn as you. If you don't let them come back, it will probably be inappropriate. Why not do this? I'll go to the palace to talk to the emperor!"

Wang Jinghui lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "No need! They are no longer children, and they should understand my painstaking arrangements. With their current situation, it is impossible to return to the Prince-Confucian Mansion. Like Bingfeng, a general who is guarding one side, perhaps in two months, the emperor will be granted his official position. The 100,000 Dingxi Army stationed in the Hetao Plain will definitely not be relieved without him. Besides, the Liao Kingdom was not willing to lose the Tiande Army, and slowly increased its troops there. In this case,

It is not the Liao Kingdom that can defeat the Dingxi Army, but whether Bingfeng can control Dingxi Army. Bingfeng has become a thing of the past, and he can only call Wang Shun in the future! There is also Wuxin. The Privy Council will recall the special forces to Biandu next month. Wen Kuanfu is likely to continue to expand the scale of the special forces to deal with the increasingly fierce peasant uprising in the south, and directly belong to His Majesty the Emperor's armed forces. If he has anything to do with me, his future will be over. Who in the Song Dynasty can be more competent as the commander of the special forces than him?"

"It's all me..."

"I am willing to have money but I can't buy it! I'm not allowed to say this again in the future!" Wang Jinghui lovingly held up his wife's face and said, "Mr. and wife are the same life birds, and since things have come to this point, there is nothing to say. Even though I am subject to some restrictions, I still have students. They can replace me to achieve what I cannot do now. What's the difference between it and me? As long as they have a promising future and can do more practical things for the court and the people, it will be worth my hard work in taking them in and teaching them!"

Zhao Qianyu looked at her husband, and this familiar face was still full of vitality as she used to be. She had never given up on her pursuit for several years. Others don’t know how hard Wang Jinghui has worked in the past few years. As a wife, she is very clear about how many miserable nights there are, whether her husband writes at his desk or is independent under the starry sky. The changes in the direction of the situation will involve her husband’s every move. Before, when she knew Wang Jinghui, she was proud of having a lofty brother, and now she is also proud of having such a husband who has worked hard for the country and the people abroad and cared for her at home.

It has been a year since the Prince Consort's Mansion has never been as lively as it is today. Today is Zhao Qianyu's birthday. Wang Jinghui's disciples have all arrived. In addition to the eight Wuxin who rushed back from the northwest early, there are also Luo Xin, Yansheng and Guan Liang in Hebei who were also back to Kaifeng, Bian Capital two days ago. The only remaining is Nirhin, who was in the Liao Kingdom, who was carrying out special tasks, and the twelve disciples in Wang Jinghui gathered in the Prince Consort's Mansion.

Although Nirhin could not come back, he still sent Zhao Qianyu a birthday gift through information channels - six thousand-year-old ginseng trees in good condition, a pair of white squirrels given to Wang Qi, the youngest junior brother, and of course a Autumn Shui Dagger for his newborn junior brother. Luo Xin, Yansheng and Guan Liang also gave Zhao Qianyu a birthday gift that they had collected with all their efforts, but Nirhin would flatter him. Even Wang Jinghui's daughter and son were counted, which made Yansheng, who was also Wang Jinghui's counselor, feel a little ashamed.

The rules of the Prince Consort's Mansion have always been to work behind closed doors. Except for the Xu family, who is very close to Wang Jinghui, anyone was rejected by Xiao Wang's son-in-law on this day. In the Prince Consort's Mansion, whenever they encounter a happy situation, the Prince Consort's husband and wife will cook in person. If this scene is seen, it is always inconvenient - although anyone with a little ability knows that Wang Jinghui often goes to the kitchen by himself. However, no one dares to talk too much, and the royal family is unwilling to interfere too much in the Prince Consort's life. They just reminded the attendants in the mansion that everything in the Prince Consort's mansion must be strictly prohibited.

In addition to leaving two people watching at the door, the entire Prince Consort's Mansion gathered in the hall, and anyone who knows how to cook must go to the kitchen. Their landlords love delicious food, and these followers were carefully selected by the royal family to suit their preferences. There are really no people in the Prince Consort's Mansion who can't bother with each other on the stove. As long as there are no outsiders, the Prince Consort's Mansion is generally happy and has a very harmonious relationship. This is also a special atmosphere that Wang Jinghui has managed for many years. This is absolutely impossible to find in the prominent families in the entire Bian Capital.

While the prince-consort's mansion was busy, Nie Xin personally set up an incense table at Ma Renhua's home in Dading Prefecture, Liao Kingdom, to wish Kaifeng, the southern capital of Bian, the two Ma Renhua brothers were very strange in their actions towards Nie Xin. They did not know that today was Zhao Qianyu's birthday.

"Mr. I am as grateful to me as a mountain. I have a recreation. Even if I die, I will never repay you. Today is the birthday of my mistress. The husband and wife are in love. Students cannot be in person. They should burn incense to pray for their mistress when they are away!" Nirhin explained faintly.

After hearing this, the two of the Ma Renhua brothers remained silent. Brother Zhao Zhong stood aside and did not speak. They had seen the young man in Biandu. He was really calculating and had a peerless talent. But he didn't expect that this young man could still be loved by his disciples so much. This was really enviable.

Nirvana only stood up when the incense burned out and said, "Did Brother Zhao find out what news when he came back from outside?"

Brother Zhao Zhong said with some annoyance: "Yelu Hongji is too brave. Last time he just snatched his palace maid, and he wouldn't have made the palace like an iron bucket now..."

"The person in charge of the palace guards is Yelu Wula, whose courtesy name is Sining, is from Xidizhimen. He is very good at riding and shooting. His martial arts skills are also very strong, and it is said that they are no less than Xiao Hugu who has passed away. Two years ago, when Yelu Hongji was hunting in Jishan, he happened to encounter a wild boar lurking in the grass. When Yelu Hongji was hunting, he basically liked to ride a horse and leave his guard to hunt alone. Although he shot the wild boar, he did not hit the vital point. At that time, only the warriors Toman and Yelu Wula were only warriors Toman and Yelu Wula.

Beside Yelu Hongji, Tuoman saw the pigs entering the market rushed over and threw Yelu Hongji and fled. Yelu Ula shot a miraculous arrow, thus saving Yelu Hongji." Ma Renwang smiled and said, "It is probably the one who can make Brother Zhao suffer a loss. Brother Zhao caused a huge disaster back then, and it is also the one who pursued Brother Zhao. Although I don't know how you two fight, Brother Zhao is still able to escape from his hands."

"Hmph! This old guy is seriously injured now. I did not meet him when I was inquiring about the palace this time. I heard the private rumors from the palace guards that he saved Yelu Hongji's life not long ago, but this time he was also very injured and was still lying down!" Zhao Zhongge said coldly. He just wanted to face the very serious resentment in Zhao Zhongge's words, and he knew that he had formed an irreconcilable hatred with Yelu Ora's life and death pursuit. Although he survived later, he must have been stripped of skin even if he did not die. After all, Yelu Ora controls the personal soldiers of the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty. That time he was not guarding the palace, but he led the personal soldiers of the emperor to chase Zhao Zhongge, which is not something that ordinary people can bear.

"Half a month ago, Yelu Hongji went to Chishan to hunt. On the way, he encountered a deer rushing over. The mountain road was narrow, and Yelu Hongji had no way to avoid it. At the critical moment, Yelu Ula blocked the deer with his body and chopped it up. However, he was also seriously injured and was recovering from his injuries at home! Unfortunately, why was Yelu Hongji not nailed to death by the deer?!" Brother Zhao Zhong continued to say angrily.

After Brother Zhao Zhong complained, he said, "Although the palace is very cautious, it still cannot help me. I am naturally not sure if I want to kill Yelu Hongji. Even if I accompany me, Lao Zhao, I may not be able to do it, but it is not very difficult to kill that little guy. If you want to do it, you must do it as soon as possible. Although Yelu Ora is not very good, he is also a ruthless person. If he is injured, even that little guy will not be able to kill it!"

Nie Xin frowned and said, "Assassinating the Crown Prince is not very useful. Instead, it will ruin the great affairs of the gentleman! Although Yelu Hongji only has such a son, he still has a grandson. If his son is gone, he can still be the heir. But if Yelu Jun dies, the clan and the King of Wei will not be able to fight. Unless everyone can believe that the crown prince is Yelu Yixin killing the land, this is too unreasonable and suspicious, and it may expose us too!"

"Yelu Jun is still too young. He just participated in the government affairs and dismissed three county magistrates. One of them was said to have something to do with Zhang Xiaojie. Yelu Jun's youthful and energetic spirit is a good thing for us. With him, he can stimulate Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie to the greatest extent, making the competition between them and the descendants more thrilling, and at the same time, it also restricted the energy of the two factions of the Liao Kingdom from putting them elsewhere. Haha, as long as they fight, although it is not a loss, it will at least end with a complete destruction of one side. During this period, the Liao Kingdom will not be able to do anything to the Song Dynasty! I think it would be better to leave Yelu Jun!" Ma Renwang said with a smile.

"Our salt ship was also detained by the Yelu family slaves. Everything has been carried out according to the original plan. Although the Yelu family slaves have caused trouble, we originally wanted to provoke the conflict in Liao. Zhang Xiaojie accepted our gifts and stakes and had already settled the Yelu family slaves. Unfortunately, the Hou tribe became a turtle this time. Zhang Xiaojie was breathing, and there was no sound there. This is really cowardly. Can Yelu Jun inherit the throne if he continues to develop like this?!" Ma Renhua said.

Nirhin smiled and said, "Yelu Jun will naturally not inherit the throne! When I came to the place, I once gave me a face-to-face opportunity. Don't say we are provoking it. Yelu Yixin wanted to frame the prince in order to keep his wealth. Even if Yelu Hongji is a human being, he would definitely not let his son become emperor so easily. You must know that this is the Khitan, not the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty can have the Supreme Emperor, and the Khitan is absolutely impossible for the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor to rule together!"
