The next day, Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu, Yuchi Baolin, Fang Yizhi, Du He and Luo Tong all appeared at Hongyuan Trading Company. Unlike Li Derjian, Wei Hong and Li Derjian got along for a while in Minzhou before leaving Beijing, so when they met, they were not excited to death. As for these buddies, when they saw Wei Hong, they burst into tears and burst into tears. In Wei Hong's impression, Yuchi Baolin was the most stable. However, like the other brothers, his eyes were red and swollen, and Wei Hong looked at him in a weird way. Simply, Wei Hong knows the brothers very well, otherwise the excited and fiery look in his eyes would have scared Wei Hong away, thinking that he was surrounded by a group of gay friends like Long Yang The third day , Wei Hong went to the Chamber of Commerce. Although Li Xuanqing had not appeared for three years, the Chamber of Commerce still did not change the president, and only made Feng Zhenyuan the acting president. Wei Hong helped Li Xuanqing resign, and he and other big bosses recommended Feng Zhenyuan as the new president of the Chamber of Commerce. In addition, in the three years since Wei Hong left Beijing, Lei Chuhan never appeared again. Wei Hong sent people to make inquiries and got several pieces of information. Some said that Lei Chuhan had returned to Hangzhou, while others said that Lei Chuhan had led a group of people from all walks of life to form a mysterious sect. This kind of gathering was naturally illegal and was He was wanted by the court and fled to other places. But the most credible theory is that Lei Chuhan got acquainted with a woman surnamed Wu. The woman had a stunning appearance and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry. Lei Chuhan was fascinated by her, and the two eloped. No matter what the explanation is, as long as Lei Chuhan is fine. Originally, Wei Hong planned to come back this time and take Lei Chuhan to Tubo. But then I thought about it, I am afraid that my family will live in seclusion in the valley in the future. Lei Chuhan is not the kind of person who can live in seclusion, so he can just swim between heaven and earth by himself. If we are destined, we can still meet each other in the future. Three days later in the morning, Wei Hong was dressed neatly. Riding in a large carriage, we went to the morning court. On the way there, Wei Hong missed being surrounded by countless fans. I used to feel annoyed, but now that I have no fans, I feel empty inside. When they arrived at the palace, the civil and military ministers gathered together in small groups outside the palace, whispering to each other, and waiting to go to court. Seeing Wei Hong coming, the ministers with lower official positions bowed to Wei Hong and saluted him, and respectfully said, "I have met the wise king." Wei Hong returned the salute one by one. Then he got close to Li Jing, Cheng Zhijie and other big bosses. When he saw that Li Jing, who was surviving the disaster, his expression had returned to his original state, Wei Hong felt relieved. Cheng Zhibo patted Wei Hong on the shoulder and sighed: "Good boy, the Khitan, which has broken the hearts of us old bones, was beaten down as soon as you stepped out! Yes, you are indeed a good man of the Tang Dynasty!" Qin Shubao stroked his beard and looked at Wei Hong with great energy. There were rays of sigh in his eyes: "That day at Mazong Mountain, the wise king relieved me of the siege. I concluded that the wise king was not only a wizard in business, but also a great talent in the military. Sure enough, in the battle of Yingzhou , It shows the great power of our country, and makes Khitan Xiao's heart burst. Wise King, you have made another great contribution to our country!" "Hehe, good luck, good luck." The horse was slapped in confusion. . Wei Hong was a little dazed, scratching his head and giggling. Not long after, the morning court began. In the past, Wei Hong would stand at the very end, leaning against the palace door. Wei Hong, who has now become the king, is placed behind Qin Shubao. This change alone is enough to show that Wei Hong's identity is second only to Qin Shubao and other founding heroes. Wei Hong's status is real and there is no moisture at all. In the past, everyone thought that Prince Wei Hong was just a wild king with an empty title, but now no one dares to think so anymore. With the eunuch's shout, Comrade Li appeared in the sight of the civil and military ministers with the support of two good-looking maids. When Comrade Li sat on the dragon throne, the civil and military ministers saluted him and paid their respects to Comrade Li. After the ceremony is completed, those who have a script to perform the performance will continue to perform, while those who do not have a script to perform the performance will obediently be a listener. About an hour later, the national affairs were almost settled, and Comrade Li turned the topic to the battle in the north. Under the scorching gaze of the civil and military ministers, Comrade Li said with great majesty: "Now, the Khitan has surrendered under the feet of our Tang Dynasty. Except for Mohe who has not yet surrendered, there is no big enemy in the north. In the battle of the Khitan, all ministers The merits can be learned from the world, and I am very pleased that the Tang Dynasty can have such virtuous ministers as you." After finishing his high-sounding polite words, Comrade Lao Li began to cast his sights on Wei Hong, and the civil and military officials also responded to Comrade Lao Li. He looked at Wei Hong nervously. Wei Hong doesn't like being the center of attention. In Wei Hong's words, he is the kind of person who makes a fortune quietly and cannot be in the limelight. When Wei Hong was feeling tormented, Comrade Li finally spoke: "In this battle in the north, the wise king is the first to do it! But I have been sealed, and if I reward you with some rare treasures, the wise king will probably look down on him. . I don¡¯t know what you think, how to reward a virtuous king?¡± Whenever officials who can stand in the hall and be squeezed in the hall are some politicians, and their brains are savvy. They all knew that although Wei Hong held a high position and had great authority, he could also be called the leader in the entire Tang Dynasty. But some time ago, everyone knew that Wei Hong was sent to Tubo. No matter how stupid you are, you can see that there is a gap between Wei Hong and Comrade Lao Li, and they are no longer as close as before. At this time, Comrade Li suddenly asked the civil and military ministers to help him come up with ideas on how to reward Wei Hong. In the minds of most officials, this matter is not simple. Maybe Comrade Lao Li is testing to see who is from the pro-guard Hongyi faction. If he wants to clean up the government in the future, he will attack these people first. As the saying goes, it is better to believe what is true than to believe what is not true; no matter whether you have misunderstood Comrade Li's intention, for the sake of safety, no one in the civil and military officials said anything, you all look at me, I look at you, big eyes. Stare. In the end, Li Jing stood up, bowed his hands, and under the gaze of everyone, said respectfully to Comrade Li: "Your Majesty, I thought that in the battle in the north, the virtuous king made such a remarkable contribution, and if he was not rewarded, he would definitely be punished by the people of the world. Criticism is detrimental to the majesty of the Holy One. In my opinion, there is no need to reward some gold and silver treasures. The official title must be granted. "If it were someone else who stood up at this time, the civil and military officials would definitely think that this person is either stupid or crazy. , or he wants to hug Wei Hong's thigh. But the person who came out was Li Jing, and everyone didn't have so many ideas. After all, Wei Hong saved Li Jing, and it made sense for Li Jing to come out to speak for Wei Hong. (To be continued)
