Chapter 1033 The Covenant of Fighting (2)
Chapter 1033: Battle Agreement (2)
Not only is the status of a minor official improved, but now if someone in his family works as a job in the imperial guards, it will be very respectful.
Zhao Dongting rarely summoned his ministers to the main hall to hold a court meeting.
At the court meeting, he personally issued an order to reward the soldiers of Zhennan Military Region. The commander Zhang Jue was originally a high-ranking minister, but at this time he was even more awarded the title of "King of Zhenxi..."
This was the first king of different surnames that appeared in the Song Dynasty after the emperor canceled the hereditary and indifferent place. It can be said that the Zhang family made the family noble.
Even Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu and others are just barely in line with Zhang Jue now.
I don’t know how many people in the court were moved by it in an instant.
Although the title of Zhenxi King does not have any real power, it is the matter of Guangyao Gate.
When an official in the court is a general, how many people's ultimate dream is not to be a marquis or a title?
Even Lu Xiufu and others were a little jealous of Zhang Jue. However, in this era of war and conflict, it is not as easy for civil servants to be awarded titles as military generals.
Surprisingly, I heard that Zhang Jue was named king. Luo Tuo, the Dharma King of the Yuan Dynasty, suddenly asked to see Zhao Dongting.
Zhao Dongting was still discussing affairs with his ministers in the main hall, but an eunuch hurried in outside the door and said, "Emperor, the Dharma King of the Yuan Dynasty is asking for a meeting."
"Dharma King?"
Zhao Dongting showed an unexpected look, then thought for a while and said, "Xuan."
He only thought Luo Tuo was talking about Zhao Xian and others returning to China.
Could it be that Zhang Jue won the title of king and made the Yuan Dynasty feel even more stressed?
Luo Tuo followed the eunuch slowly into the hall. Apart from him, no one followed the messenger group.
Zhao Dongting seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness two days ago and said with a smile: "The Dharma King saw me, but has the matter of that day been concluded?"
He was not worried that the Yuan Dynasty would not let Zhao Xian and others back. For him, not letting go would make things easier.
Empress Dowager Xie and others used to hold the imperial power and were used to being strong. When they really returned to the court, Zhao Dongting didn't believe that they would be honest. He really allowed himself, the concubine, to continue to sit on the throne.
And then, it is not right to kill, nor is it killing, it is a dilemma.
Luo Tuo bowed to Zhao Dongting to the Buddha's ceremony and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "That's right, our dynasty is willing to put the royal family back."
All the ministers in the hall showed joy.
Although most of them did not participate in the meeting two days ago, they naturally heard the news in the past two days.
There are too many old ministers here who have been overbearing officials under Empress Dowager Xie and Zhao Xian. They really hope that Empress Dowager Xie and others will return to the palace.
There is an old family, like a treasure.
Empress Dowager Xie is the emperor's grandmother.
Although Emperor Gong is the emperor's brother, he is also the direct descendant of Empress Dowager Quan.
Thinking of this, many of the court officials looked at Zhao Dongting with a complex look.
They are naturally willing to support Zhao Dongting, but what if Empress Dowager Xie and Emperor Gong want to get the throne back on the grounds of being legitimate and then illegitimate, what should we do?
This matter was not only difficult for Zhao Dongting. These court officials also felt embarrassed.
At this time, Luo Tuo said again: "I heard that many masters in the martial arts hall of your country have emerged, and they want to ask for advice and verify their martial arts. I wonder if Emperor Song can let me do what I want?"
Zhao Dongting and the court officials were both slightly stunned.
Even though most of the people here are civil officials, they all know Luo Tuo’s reputation on the list of masters in the martial arts world.
Where can I compete with him in Dasong now?
Is this a slap in the face on purpose?
Zhao Dongting looked a little ugly and said, "Martial arts are nothing to prove in my Song Dynasty, right?"
"Amitabha."
Luo Tuo bowed and said, "Since it is just a skill to cultivate the cultivation of nature, what's the point of mutual verification? Is the emperor concerned about winning or losing?"
Zhao Dongting secretly scolded himself for being an idiot in his heart.
Damn, he didn't know what he said just now, but the old monk took advantage of the loophole.
Now, he really doesn't know what reason to reject Luo Tuo. However, if he agrees, Wu Dingtang will inevitably be defeated.
This is a matter that is small in novels, but it can be big in big. Especially at such a moment, it seems particularly sensitive.
The Song Dynasty paid for money to redeem Emperor Gong and others back to the court, and the martial arts competition was defeated by the Yuan Dynasty master. Will the people feel that the Song Dynasty is not as good as the Yuan Dynasty?
But if it refuses, the Song Dynasty will not be able to lose this face. The Song Dynasty has no one who dares to fight against the Dharma King of the Yuan Dynasty. Isn’t that a joke?
Even if you lose, you will still look better than you.
After hesitation, Zhao Dongting finally said: "Since that's the case, let's talk!"
He has no way out now.
Luo Tuo smiled slightly and nodded slightly.
In fact, just competing martial arts has not had much impact. He might be just trying to vent his anger. After all, he had not been able to get Fujian Road and craftsmanship before. Even if this Dharma King was broad-minded, he felt a little frustrated.
Zhao Dongting said again: "When will the Dharma King look for it?"
Luo Tuo hesitated for a moment and said, "The year is approaching, so why not bet on the lottery, and it is set on the day of the year. How about it?"
Zhao Dongting curled his lips secretly.
Damn, this old monk actually plans to celebrate the New Year in Changsha.
He really didn't want the old monk to stay in Changsha for too long, because with the old monk's force, it was really a time bomb. He was in Changsha and had to find someone to stare at him at all times.
But I couldn't drive people back, so Zhao Dongting had to nod and said, "Okay, that's the day of the year."
"Amitabha!"
Luo Tuo bowed to Zhao Dongting again, and then walked out of the hall.
The ministers in the hall looked very good. The worshipers in the Wuding Hall could not beat the Dharma King of the Yuan Dynasty, and the rankings were too different.
But what they didn't know was that at this time, a group of people were rushing down from Jiange in Shu.
These are the only sword slaves left in the Sword Pavilion.
They are all very fast.
After they left the house, they headed east. In the evening of that day, they arrived in Qianzhou City on Kuizhou Road.
After entering the city, they walked directly to the city "Laifu Inn...".
And outside this inn, there are old turtles.
The old turtle is very spiritual and lazy. He just lies in place, but it still attracts many people to wait and see and be amazed.
In the inn, there are old monks and little girls.
The two of them ate very lightly and just ordered some vegetarian dishes, but no one showed any contempt on them.
Monks have a very high status at this age, which means that these people do not know the monk Wude, otherwise they would have to bow to him at this time.
Monk Wude and Le Wu girl ignored everyone else and just ate on their own.
The Oxman obviously knew that the two were inside, so he walked straight into the inn with the sword slave.
