Outside the Haikang Palace, fireworks kept rushing into the sky, blooming brilliantly in the night.

Zhao Dongting followed Zhang Ru to the palace gate.

Jun Tian floated in green clothes, and his slender body stood outside the door, looming under the brilliance of fireworks. Next to him was a burly man wearing a gray coarse cloth.

This man is about fifty years old, and he must be over 1.85 meters tall. He is quite majestic in the south.

With a national face, thick eyebrows, and a momentum of being arrogant without anger, it looks extremely calm.

Zhang Ru pounced on her and rushed straight into the man's arms.

He is undoubtedly the Sichuan tiger general Zhang Jue.

Zhao Dongting walked over quickly and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, Senior Jun, you are back."

Jun Tian offered a gift, "Mr. Jun has met the emperor."

Zhang Jue, who was hugged by Zhang Ru tightly, was stunned, and then his eyes turned red, he gently pushed Zhang Ru away, and knelt on the ground, "The criminal Zhang Jue bowed to the emperor!"

The guards of the palace gate knelt down one after another.

Zhao Dongting personally helped Zhang Jue up and whispered: "Mr. Zhang is a tiger general in my court. How could he say that he was guilty?"

However, Zhang Jue knelt on the ground and refused to get up, saying, "I failed to defend Chongqing, which caused the suffering of life. Please give me a punishment."

Zhao Dongting secretly moved his internal energy and forced Zhang Jue to rise up, saying, "The Yuan thief is powerful, and it is very difficult for Lord Zhang to be able to defend Chongqing Prefecture for so many years. If I give you blame, wouldn't I bear the reputation of being a fool? Lord Zhang must not say such things again."

As he said that, he grabbed Zhang Jue's hand and said, "Let's go and follow me to the palace for meals. Lord Zhang returns safely. I am very happy, very happy."

Zhang Jue looked grateful and was also a little grateful.

When he was in Chongqing, he heard that the young emperor suddenly became enlightened, with great wisdom and great strategies, and respect for the wise and humble men. He thought it was incredible. Now when he saw Zhao Dongting's attitude, he felt that he had worked hard to resist the Yuan thief over the years and had no effort. The appearance of such an emperor in the Song Dynasty may have really waited for the hope of restoring the country.

Jun Tianfang and Zhang Ru followed Zhao Dongting and Zhang Jue behind.

After walking dozens of meters away, Zhao Dongting asked, "Senior Jun, how did you rescue Lord Zhang back?"

Jun Tian looked at him and said, "As the emperor said, after leaving Pingnan, he hurried to Zhao Lao'an outside Xi'an. Just like the emperor's dream, after waiting for only two days, the Yuan army actually escorted Zhang Xiandi by and stopped at Zhao Lao'an. Zhang Xiandi believed his friend's words and almost took off his bowstring in the thatched cottage. Fortunately, I stopped him in time. Unfortunately, there were many Yuan troops, so I only rescued Zhang Xiandi, and several virtuous generals in Chongqing Prefecture, who were shot to death by arrows."

He still thinks it's a bit incredible when he thinks about it now.

Although I often hear that dreams have the power of signs, it is unheard of that as accurate as Zhao Dongting's dreams have lived for decades.

Zhang Jue also heard Jun Tianfang say this on the way to Haikang, and at this time he couldn't help but ask: "The emperor really has this dream?"

Zhao Dongting nodded, "If it weren't for this dream, how could I know that Lord Zhang would pass by Zhao Lao'an?"

Zhang Jue couldn't help but sigh, "It's really amazing."

Zhao Dongting grabbed his hand and didn't let go, laughing loudly: "This is God's mercy, so I can be lucky enough to continue to be helped by a tiger general like Lord Zhang."

Zhang Jue looked humble, but he thought it was destiny in his heart, and immediately said: "Super serving the court, don't refuse!"

Zhao Dongting said, "I don't want you to die, I want you all to live well and accompany me to climb the top of An City."

Zhang Jue's eyes were red and he could no longer speak.

He was a tiger general, a loyal minister, and a national hero who still insisted on resisting the Yuan Dynasty when the Song Dynasty was about to collapse. What he was most hoped for in his heart was that the Song Dynasty could restore its country and recreate the prosperity of Lin'an in the past.

If it weren't for the war, the Southern Song Dynasty was actually quite prominent in the fields of economy, culture, technology, etc., and was a brilliant pearl in the long river of history.

However, this glorious color, due to the weakness of the army, caused the Southern Song Dynasty to be criticized in later generations.

All the way to Zhao Dongting's bedroom.

Zhang Jue and Jun Tianfang were stunned when they saw the bonfire in the courtyard, Yang Shufei, Ying Er and others dancing in circles.

Such a scene may only be seen among the people, but I never thought that there would be such a scene in the palace, and it was the emperor's bedroom.

Zhang Jue had never met Concubine Yang Shu, so he didn't know him.

Zhao Dongting held his hand and went to the bonfire and introduced him to him. Then he suddenly fell to the ground, "Zhang Jue, the commander of Sichuan, kowtowed to the Empress Dowager."

Concubine Yang Shu let go of Ying'er and Zhao Bing's hands, and smiled softly, "Mr. Zhang doesn't need to be polite. I have already heard that the Lord can conquer the name of good fighting. It is a blessing for my country in the Song Dynasty to come back safely."

Zhang Jue kowtowed, "I am ashamed of you."

Zhao Dongting smiled and picked up an iron stick from the grill, with chicken skewers on it, which was already browned and oily, emitting a fragrance.

He sprinkled some cumin powder on it and handed it to Jun Tianfang, saying, "Senior Jun, try it."

Jun Tianfang was a little stunned, "This..."

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could not believe that Zhao Dongting, the Emperor of Song Dynasty, would have done such a thing.

Zhao Dongting knew what he was thinking and said, "Tonight, there are no monarchs and ministers here, only relatives and friends."

Jun Tianfang was free and easy by nature and soon came to his senses. He took the iron stick from Zhao Dongting's hand and bit the chicken into his mouth with a complicated expression.

Zhao Dongting had never seen him like this before.

When I was traveling with me, Jun Tianfang always chewed slowly and ate very well when he was eating. But now, it seems like he hasn't eaten a full meal for many years, and a sad aura suddenly spread across him.

Zhao Dongting sighed slightly in his heart, and could see that Jun Tianfangding also had an unbearable past.

It seems chic, but it may not be chic. In this era, there are too many people carrying stories on their backs.

Zhao Dongting pinched a chicken wing and handed it to Zhang Jue, "Mr. Zhang is tired and busy, and first use the chicken legs to fill his stomach. Until tomorrow, I am asking the imperial chef to make delicious dishes to welcome you and Senior Jun."

Zhang Jue took the chicken leg and said, "Your Majesty, I want to rush to Sichuan as soon as possible and call on the righteous men to fight against the Yuan Dynasty again!"

Zhao Dongting shook his head slightly, "No need for now. I have issued an order to serve the king and call on righteous men from all over the country to gather in Pingnan. Now our dynasty's military strength is far inferior to that of the Yuan Dynasty. The righteous men from all over the country are like sparks, but it is difficult to destroy the Yuan Dynasty. I intend to concentrate all the forces of the world, take root in Guangxi first, and then slowly recover the lost territory."

"But the people of Sichuan..."

Zhang Jue was immediately a little anxious.

Zhao Dongting said: "Even if we take over Sichuan now, it will be useless to the people, and it will only cause trouble for the lives of life. I heard that Emperor Kublai Khan was also a wise king. He should know that the prosperity of the world cannot be separated from the people. After the Yuan Dynasty occupied our territory, he probably wouldn't have taken action against the people."

Zhang Jue was slightly silent and said, "That minister asks to go to Pingnan."

He was taken to Haikang County by Jun Tianfang, but he was unwilling to stay here. He was a general and should be on the front line in times of crisis in the dynasty.

Zhao Dongting did not stop Zhang Jue anymore, but said, "Now the end of the year, the great sacrifice is coming. After the great sacrifice, it will not be too late for Lord Zhang to go to Pingnan again."

Zhang Jue focused on the key points.

Zhao Dongting smiled again, "We should be happy and have fun with the people today."

He stood up, walked to Concubine Yang, took the hands of Concubine Yang and Ying'er, and jumped up again.

Zhang Jue and Jun Tianfang's eyes suddenly softened when he saw this scene.

Zhang Ru walked to the side to play the piano, and the yard was filled with laughter and joy.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was no morning court.

As usual, Zhao Dongting got up early and practiced the sword intent on the roof.

Soon, a eunuch came to the bedroom with several Taoist priests. All of these roads were tied with buns, and the two of them had long beards in front of them, with crane hair and childish faces, and yellow Taoist robes, with a fairy spirit.

Yellow Taoist robe, this is a Taoist robe that Taoist priests with great status in Taoism, and ordinary Taoist priests can only wear blue robes.

When he arrived outside the bedroom, the eunuch shouted in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, two real people from Wuliangguan are asking for a visit."

Zhao Dongting jumped off the roof and asked the guards guarding the gate to open the gate of the courtyard.

Two yellow-robed Taoist priests walked in with four disciples, saw Zhao Dongting, and bowed, "I have no roots, and Wuxuzi has seen the emperor."

Zhao Dongting inserted the long sword back into the sheath and said, "The two real people don't need to be too polite."

He knew what these two Taoist priests who had extremely high seniority in Wuliang Temple did to come to the palace, and asked him to go to Wuliang Temple to preside over the sacrificial ceremony.

This is actually what the imperial court has already arranged, and Wuliangguan comes to invite him specially, just to act and give him enough face.

Wuyuanzi and Wuxuzi are both people of the level of the ancestors in Wuliang Temple, and Wuwangzi, the most famous real person in Wuliang Temple, are brothers of the same generation. At that time, Wuliang Temple Kaiguan Patriarch came from Quanzhen Sect and came to Leizhou to open up Wuliang Temple and accepted five disciples, Wuyuanzi, and Wuxuzi were two of them.

They are not the highest among Taoism in the world, but they are the best in this Leizhou.

The position of a real person is also extremely high in Taoism.
