~~~~~~

With Li Yuanqing's current status, facing Wang Chengen, he could actually kneel or not.

Even if Li Yuanqing doesn't kneel down, who can find fault with him?

Who dares to find fault with him, Li Yuanqing, to his face?

Not to mention, there are a bunch of "white-striped chicken" civil servants around.

Even though they were popular people around the emperor, they didn't have much gold in him, Li Yuanqing.

At this time, the reason why Li Yuanqing knelt down on one knee and performed the military salute to Wang Chengen was, on the one hand, to respect Wang Chengen as an elder, and on the other hand, and most importantly...it also wanted the people around him~~~

, take a good look...

Li Yuanqing gave Wang Chengen enough face, and Wang Chengen was in a happy mood.

At this time, others did not understand the entanglement between Li Yuanqing, the court, and the emperor, but how could he, Wang Chengen, not understand it?

In these years, if Li Yuanqing hadn't been in Liao Dynasty, who was as effective as a sea-fixing needle, who would know what the overall situation of the Ming Dynasty would be like at this time?

It's a pity that the emperor...

Fortunately, since Li Yuanqing is here now, there is still room for resolution of all matters, and it will not be too ruined.

After exchanging a few words, Wang Chengen smiled quickly and said: "Yuanqing, the Za family has prepared a banquet in the city. Come on, let's eat and talk."

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. However, Your Majesty, please wait for Yuan Qing for a moment."

With that said, Li Yuanqing strode up to the crowd here, clasped his fists and raised his hands, thanking the people for coming to see him, Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing actually wanted to say a few words, but at this time, it was obviously not wise to speak. Not to mention, the scene was too big, and even if he spoke, it was impossible for the people to hear him.

The seemingly simple action of cupping your fists is worth more than a thousand words.

The people around them felt the interaction between Li Yuanqing and them, and the cheers suddenly became louder and louder, and they almost wanted to make a hole in the sky.

Wang Chengen's eyes couldn't help but narrowed slightly.

Li Yuanqing, after all, values ​​friendship...

But on the other side, a discordant voice appeared again, "Li Yuanqing, this bastard, does he really think that we have nothing? He would rather surrender to these mud-legged people than come to greet us?"

"It's really insulting to Sven. Sven is sweeping the floor. Mud-legged people are just mud-legged people."

"Hmph. Let's see if I can pay attention to his toast when we get to the banquet later!"

"..."

Li Yuanqing did not stay with the people for too long, and in less than a minute, he strode back to Wang Chengen.

The civil servants who had been discussing quietly just now suddenly fell silent.

Everyone can secretly accuse others and discredit others behind their backs, but who dares to accuse Li Yuanqing in front of Li Yuanqing?

In the past two years, although Li Yuanqing seemed to be somewhat far away from the capital, Li Yuanqing's reputation was not smaller than before, but became even bigger.

Especially among the people, even a three-year-old child knows that "there is a Li Yuanqing in Liaodong."

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

It is not difficult for everyone to form a group, have a backbone and a leader, and accuse Li Yuanqing and find fault with Li Yuanqing.

But~~, until the situation becomes clear, who dares to go out and be the first person?

Among the crowd, Yang Miaocai couldn't help but sneer when he saw this scene.

He suddenly felt extremely lucky that he had unintentionally forged such a good relationship with Li Yuanqing back then!

The ancestors were indeed right when they said, "If you are close to vermillion, you will be red; if you are close to ink, you will be black!"

As Li Yuanqing said at last night's banquet: "If a person has no dreams and only knows how to eat and wait to die, what's the difference between him and a salted fish?"

At this time, Li Yuanqing and Wang Chengen had already boarded the carriage that had been parked not far behind. A group of civil servants also boarded the carriage in order. Li Yuanqing's personal guards quickly followed Wang Chengen's retinue.

After that, Li Yuanqing's safety was firmly guarded.

Seeing this, the cheers of the surrounding crowd became even louder.

"Daddy, daddy, look, these war horses under Li Junmen are really tall and big."

"These personal guards of Li Shuai are so powerful. If the slave family can find a husband like this, they will be content in this life..."

"..."

Although the discussions among the surrounding people were mixed, there were still many, and they could be clearly transmitted to the ears of the soldiers.

They could certainly feel the love and support of the common people for their commander, and they could even feel the hot and admiring gazes directed at them.

Although they have enjoyed this feeling countless times before on Changsheng Island and in southern Liaoning, at this time, in the capital, at the feet of the emperor, they can still enjoy such a familiar atmosphere. In the hearts of these soldiers

, and they were also unspeakably proud, standing on their horses one after another, with their backs and chests straightened out.

They want to show their most powerful and best side to the people of the capital.

When the people saw this, they became even more excited and cheered louder and louder.

This was like a virtuous circle, which instantly brought the atmosphere of the entire Guangqumen area to its peak.

In the carriage, hearing the cheers rising from the surroundings, Wang Chengen couldn't help but smile and said: "Yuan Qing, your prestige among the people is even enviable by the Za family."

Li Yuanqing smiled faintly. Of course he understood the deep meaning behind Wang Chengen's words. He hurriedly bowed his hands respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, Yuan Qing will only do what he is responsible for. He doesn't dare to take credit, let alone be arrogant."

Wang Chengen couldn't help but laugh. Of course he understood the "thorn" in Li Yuanqing's words.

After a moment, he smiled and said: "Yuan Qing, actually... you don't need to be so nervous. You are the pillar of the country, and the Za family understands your loyalty. Is there something that we can't sit down and talk about?"

Li Yuanqing looked into Wang Chengen's eyes and found that Wang Chengen was looking at him with a smile.

After a moment, Li Yuanqing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, thank you for giving Yuan Qing some guidance. Your Majesty, if possible, Yuan Qing would like to meet with the Emperor as soon as possible and explain everything to the Emperor. Also, Your Majesty, regarding the matter of Marshal Mao, I would like to ask the King

It is necessary to speak kindly when doing business."

Wang Chengen couldn't help but smile and nodded. Of course he understood Li Yuanqing's profound meaning, and he greatly appreciated Li Yuanqing's "knowledge of current affairs". He smiled and said: "Yuan Qing, the Za family will arrange this matter as soon as possible. As for Mao Shuai's matter..."

Wang Chengen paused for a moment, let out a long breath and said, "The emperor will definitely give an explanation to Dongjiang, the sons of Liao, and the people."

Although Wang Chengen's words were not loud, Li Yuanqing could clearly feel the power in them.

This old eunuch is obviously very dissatisfied with Yuan Manzi's matter.

This time, there were more than a hundred people from all walks of life who came to welcome Li Yuanqing into the city. If servants and servants were included, the number would probably be at least five, six, seven or eight hundred.

The Ming Dynasty has long had unwritten but very clear rules for welcoming people to the emperor in official matters.

At noon, a grand banquet was held for more than a dozen tables in a prestigious century-old restaurant in the capital.

A basic compromise has been reached with Wang Chengen, and Li Yuanqing is in a good mood.

At this time, seeing how close Wang Chengen and Li Yuanqing are, no one is a fool.

They quickly caught the key wind direction and tried their best to show their face in front of Li Yuanqing. It would be best to toast Li Yuanqing with a glass of wine.

Especially those little bureaucrats who had been slandering Li Yuanqing just now were even more eager and attentive at this time, just like lap dogs.

If you didn't know, you would have thought that they had been close friends with Li Yuanqing for many years.

Although Li Yuanqing was not too fond of these civil servants, at this time, since he had this condition, Li Yuanqing naturally would not be too conceited, and would be so heroic that he would accept almost everyone who came.

This immediately made all the banquet guests' faces light up. The previous wait in the cold wind outside Guangqu Gate was nothing to worry about.

Seeing Li Yuanqing walking through the luncheon with ease, like a fish in water, Wang Chengen felt some unspeakable emotion in his heart.

It was obviously not a wise move for the emperor and Li Yuanqing to have such a quarrel.

That guy Yuan Manzi has already mistakenly killed Mao Wenlong. Could it be that the emperor wants to kill Li Yuanqing by mistake again?

If this nonsense continues, the country of the Ming Dynasty...

He must return to the palace as soon as possible and have a good talk with the emperor.

…………

The luncheon lasted until the beginning of the afternoon, a full two hours before it came to an end.

Because of Li Yuanqing's enthusiasm, many officials who were on duty today were even drunk.

However, welcoming Li Yuanqing today was a major event for the imperial court, so they were naturally worried about what kind of punishment they would receive.

Although Li Yuanqing drank a lot of wine, compared with the Liao soldiers, the difference between a small wine glass and a big bowl was the difference between this amount of alcohol.

Wang Chengen even made an exception and drank a lot of wine today, and his old face was full of red light.

When the farewell was approaching, Li Yuanqing personally put Wang Chengen on the carriage, covered him with a blanket, and said respectfully: "My lord, I will leave the matter to you."

Wang Chengen couldn't help laughing: "Yuan Qing, don't worry. The Zajia family will do its best. If things go well, the result will be almost there tonight. You have to be prepared."

Of course Li Yuanqing understood the deep meaning behind Wang Chengen's words, and respectfully held his hands in his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Yuan Qing is ready to serve at any time."

After seeing off Wang Chengen, Yang Lei had already made arrangements at the Sanfu Inn. Li Yuanqing and his party went directly to the Sanfu Inn in the back street of Wuyu Pavilion to rest.

According to the usual practice, Li Yuanqing came to Beijing on an order, and he could ask the court to "reimburse" part of the expenses. But at this time, how could Li Yuanqing take advantage of this? He naturally gave up this oil and water to the Ministry of War and the

Several 'white striped chickens' in Hubu.
