Chapter 29
The chamberlain waved his hand, and someone behind him brought a tray with a set of official robes from the Kingdom of Jin on it.
When Sun Li and others saw this, their faces were full of excitement, knowing that the reward was coming.
Zhao Tai cupped his hands and thanked him, then asked Liu Dun to get his clothes and went back to the room to help him put them on.
During the Zhangzong period of the Jin Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty vigorously promoted civil rule and revised rituals and music, and the costumes of the Jin Dynasty further moved closer to those of the Southern Song Dynasty.
After Zhao Tai puts it on, it should feel similar to the ones from the Song Dynasty. However, during the Zhang Zong Dynasty, it was believed that Jin inherited the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was fire, and fire produced earth, so Jin was the virtue of earth, and Zhao Tai's body was earthy gray.
After changing into his official uniform, he followed the chamberlain out, boarded the carriage they prepared, and headed straight to the palace.
Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, and Zhao Tai got out of the carriage wearing brand new official uniform.
"Zhao Meng'an, please come this way." The chamberlain respected Zhao Tai and bowed to lead the way.
Zhao Tai touched his body and wanted to give something as a reward, but he was short of money, so he shared most of the reward money, and spent the rest on paper, pens and food.
"Thank you!" Zhao Tai could only say and followed him to the palace.
The Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Jin was the palace of the Song Dynasty. However, over the past hundred years, it has become somewhat dilapidated. It can be seen from the courtyard that it has not been taken care of for a long time.
This is not surprising. The only thing left in the Jin Kingdom was Nanjing Road and Henan. How could it afford so much expenditure?
Raising money for the invasion of Mongolia is the most important thing now, since there is no money for gardening.
Zhao Tai followed the chamberlain all the way to the outside of Chui Gong Hall. From a distance, he saw a group of people standing outside the door.
"Here we come!" Heda, Monk Chen and others have been arriving for a while.
When they saw Zhao Tai coming, they all looked at him.
Zhao Tai's deeds are unknown to ordinary soldiers and civilians in Bianjing City, but most of these generals and officials still know about it.
Everyone was a little frightened when they looked at Zhao Tai's young face.
The martial artist sighed with emotion: "I must be in my early twenties! After that time, I was still hanging around in the countryside, but Mr. Zhao was already in peace."
Monk Chen also sighed with emotion: "Yes! Look at his face, he is still so young, his achievements in the future will be higher than mine!"
Heda nodded and said with deep meaning: "Indeed, he is young and promising."
When Zhao Tai saw them, he stepped forward and saluted with a smile on his face, "I have met all the marshals and generals in this humble position."
Meng'an in the Kingdom of Jin are generally from the fourth rank, and only Jurchens can serve. Han Chinese like Zhao Tai can only sign the army and become the chief.
Heda was at the top of Bianjing City and temporarily appointed him as Dai Mengan, but Zhao Tai had not yet been formally appointed.
Wanyan Shouxu summoned him today, and there should be some changes, and he might be given other official positions.
Monk Chen admired Zhao Tai very much. He smiled and said: "Brother Zhao, you deserve the most credit for the Mongolian retreat this time!"
"Yes! Even the Great Khan of Mongolia was fooled by you. I think Mr. Zhao is really Zhuge who is still alive." Wu Xian said with a smile.
Facing everyone's compliments, Zhao Tai waved his hands repeatedly and said: "You sirs are too complimentary."
"Huh!" Yi La Pu'a, who was standing aside, couldn't help but snorted coldly and glanced to the side.
Obviously he was dissatisfied with Zhao Tai's repeated limelight, but Zhao Tai actually had no problem with him.
After all, Zhao Tai did not want to follow the Jin Kingdom and assassinate people like Pu'a. There was no need to be enemies. On the contrary, they could be friends.
Wanyan Heda and Monk Chen are both loyal to the Jin Kingdom. Although Yilapua is also loyal to the Jin Kingdom, he will not be as upright as Monk Chen. Zhao Tai feels that he can obtain benefits from the Jin Kingdom by making good friends with him.
Benefit.
Seeing Yi La Pu'a's stingy look, he felt a little funny in his heart, thinking that he would capture you in a few days and let you be my brothers.
At this time, everyone gathered outside the palace, talking about the Mongolian retreat and the Battle of Bianjing. Zhao Tai did not take credit for his appointment as Grand Duke and made any lofty remarks, but echoed what everyone said.
He has achieved such achievements at such a young age. If he is arrogant because of this, it will be a recipe for disaster.
So Zhao Tai stood there, just listening, and said a few words casually when others asked.
After everyone chatted outside for a long time, the waiter finally came out and announced that everyone should go in to see the saint.
Zhao Tai immediately walked behind them and entered the main hall. He saw Wanyan Shouxu sitting on the throne, waiting for everyone to pay homage and shout long live.
"My lords, please excuse me!" Wanyan Shouxu raised his hand with a smile. After everyone stood up and separated on both sides, he scanned the crowd and finally landed on Zhao Tai. He smiled and said, "Please come forward, Qing Zhao."
When Zhao Tai heard this, he could only go out and salute, "Your Majesty!"
Although Wanyan Shouxu had seen Zhao Tai several times, he couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Before, Zhao Tai was unkempt and wore the armor of a low-level Mongolian officer. It was hard to see why.
Now that he has put on a brand-new official uniform, he immediately stands out.
This young man is so resourceful and good-looking that it's hard not to like him.
However, Heda's words made Wanyan Shouxu feel hesitant. If such a person could not be used by the Jin Kingdom, it would be quite dangerous for the Jin Kingdom.
Thinking of this, Wanyan Shouxu smiled and said, "This time the Qing family cleverly used a divorce plan to get the Mongols to retreat, which is a great achievement! Tell the Qing family, whatever reward you want, I will satisfy you."
After hearing this, Zhao Tai felt a little excited. After working as a temporary worker for so many days, Wanyan Shouxu was going to make him a full-time employee and settle his wages.
Zhao Taiwen Yu glanced at Wanyan Shouxu, but saw that his eyes were waiting for scrutiny.
No! Zhao Tai immediately understood that things were not simple. This was actually a test.
He suddenly remembered that he had been placed in a small courtyard for the past two days, and that the soldiers assigned to him had been taken back again, so he resisted the urge to ask for soldiers and territory, put on a happy expression, and made quick calculations in his mind.
Although the Kingdom of Jin is on the verge of death, the emperor is the emperor, and it is all given by him, so how can you ask for anything?
However, it is inappropriate to ask for nothing. He has made such great achievements and wants nothing. What does the leader think and how does he control you?
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Tai had already made up his mind, so he rubbed his hands obscenely and said, "Your Majesty, I hope that your Majesty can reward me with a larger house, some property, and a hundred servants and beautiful maids!"
After Wanyan Shouxu heard this, he couldn't help being stunned, and then laughed loudly, "Okay, as expected, a hero has emerged. I will immediately arrange the house and treasure, and of course the maid."
If Zhao Tai wants troops and territory, Wanyan Shouxu will naturally not be reassured and thinks Zhao Tai is ambitious.
If Zhao Tai doesn't want anything, then Wanyan Shouxu will be even more worried.
Wanyan Shouxu's question just now was actually a question, but fortunately Zhao Tai's answer made him very satisfied.
It is a good thing for young people to love money and women. It is easier for him to control the people below him if they have hobbies. If he doesn't mention anything, then he has to suspect that there is no bigger plot.
Zhao Tai is a Han Chinese, so Wanyan Shouxu naturally never thought that he would be as loyal to the Jin Kingdom as the Jurchens, but as long as he knew Zhao Tai's preferences, he could win over this young man.
