Zhao Zhen didn't wait for Kou Ji to finish what he said, and raised his hand to interrupt Kou Ji's words, "Fourth brother, there is no need to say more. The contributions of fourth brother and all my dear friends deserve such respect from me.

If I don’t respect you who contributed 150% to the Song Dynasty’s expansion of territory, then who will be willing to make contributions to our Song Dynasty in the future?

I am not afraid that someone in our Song Dynasty will make great contributions, but I am afraid that no one in our Song Dynasty will make great contributions."

When Kou Ji heard what Zhao Zhen said, he smiled and shook his head without saying anything more.

Zhao Zhen looked Kou Ji up and down and said, "I haven't seen you for more than half a year. Fourth brother, you have lost a lot of weight."

Kou Ji smiled and said: "Liaoyang Prefecture and other places don't have as many delicacies as Bianjing City."

Zhao Zhen laughed and said: "I have held a big banquet in the palace, so that fourth brother can eat all the delicacies that he has not eaten for more than half a year."

Kou Ji agreed with a smile.

The monarch and his ministers were talking and laughing.

Zhong Shiheng and others sitting next to them looked at their noses, noses and hearts, motionless.

They constantly remind themselves in their hearts that they are stone people.

Kou Ji could talk and laugh with Zhao Zhen, but they couldn't.

The closer the imperial chariot is to Bianjing City, the more people there are on both sides of the avenue.

The people cheered and praised the achievements of Kou Ji and others.

Waves of sound cover one wave after another.

The crowd was so dense that it was too numerous to count.

The scene was so spectacular that it was rarely seen.

If the Royal Guards hadn't stopped him, some people would have lit off the firecrackers and grabbed an outrageous amount of firecrackers.

The Song Dynasty regained Yanyun and destroyed the Liao Kingdom. Goryeo suddenly stood at the top of the world.

As a citizen of the Song Dynasty, I was naturally extremely excited and proud.

Kou Ji, Zhong Shiheng and several great heroes certainly deserve their generous welcome.

When people in the Song Dynasty welcomed people, their favorite thing to do was to wear red and colorful clothes, sing and dance, toast and fire cannons.

There is no way to wear red and colorful clothes outside Bianjing City.

Therefore, there are only singing and dancing outside Bianjing City.

Kou Ji and others were sitting with Zhao Zhen, so the people could not toast.

So the people could only fire cannons.

When they learned that Kou Ji and others were returning to Beijing, several firecracker workshops in Bianjing City were sold out.

Some large households even order firecrackers a month in advance.

Some people with status and background brought out many large firecrackers from the imperial gunpowder workshop that were never seen on the market.

Firecrackers lined both sides of the avenue.

Since firecrackers pose a certain danger, the Royal Forest Guards restrained the people and prevented them from lighting them.

After the royal chariot passed among the people, the people lit the firecrackers.

For a time, thousands of firecrackers were fired at the same time, and the scene was very spectacular.

Such a spectacular scene may only be seen once in this life, so the people were extremely excited and lively.

When passing by the royal garden outside the south gate of Bianjing City.

Zhao Zhen suddenly smiled and said to Kou Ji: "Fourth brother, there will be a surprise soon..."

Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen suspiciously.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said nothing.

After driving the chariot a few steps, Kou Ji heard a sharp cry.

"father?!"

Kou Ji subconsciously went over and saw Kou Hui standing on a high ground, waving and shouting at him.

At Kou Hui's feet, there were several large boxes.

Beside the box stood a noble servant of the Kou Mansion.

Kou Hui saw Kou Ji looking at her, with a bright smile on her face, and then ordered to the servant beside her: "Quick! Get out!"

Then.

Under Kou Ji's astonished eyes, the servant of the Kou Mansion opened the big box, revealing a piece of yellow and white.

Immediately afterwards, a yellow and white rain poured down where Kou Hui was standing.

Countless gold and silver leaves were floating in the air, which was very dazzling.

Kou Hui stood among the gold leaves and silver leaves, shouting at Kou Ji, as if she wanted to tell everyone that she was Kou Ji's daughter.

Kou Ji's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot for a moment, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.

Zhao Zhen laughed and asked: "Fourth brother, are you surprised?"

Kou Ji slowly closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice, "A prodigal..."

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he laughed even more heartily.

After a few laughs, she saw Princess Baoqing standing on another high ground, shouting and doing the same thing.

Zhao Zhen's face suddenly turned dark.

Seeing this, Kou Ji's expression softened a lot. He stared at Princess Baoqing and praised: "Baoqing is such a good girl..."

Zhao Zhen didn't know what he thought of, and a smile appeared on his face again, and he said: "Fourth brother is right, Bao Qing is a good girl."

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji with a half-smile but said, "I just don't know how much wealth the fourth brother has, and whether it will be enough for my Baoqing to be married off."

Hearing this, Kou Ji said not to be outdone: "Baoqing's dowry should be quite expensive, enough to let her go."

Zhao Zhen curled his lips and said, "I can't afford much dowry."

Kou Ji said with a smile: "The official family is the only ruler in the world now, how can it be that they can't afford much dowry? If the official family marries a daughter for the first time, it will definitely damage its prestige if it is too shabby."

Zhao Zhen sighed, "I can't tell you..."

The monarch and his ministers quarreled as they entered Bianjing City.

The people in Bianjing City are even more crazy.

People are draped in red and colorful everywhere, and it is ten times more lively than outside the city.

An old man actually stopped Zhao Zhen's carriage and insisted on offering wine to Kou Ji and other loyal and brave men.

Although Zhao Zhen was the ruler of the Song Dynasty, facing those old men in their eighties, he could only order Lu Yijian to stop the carriage.

There were many people offering wine.

Kou Ji and others had to give up riding in the car, and walked to the Ancestral Temple, one step at a time.

Zhao Zhen ordered people to present the corpse of Yelu Zongzhen that Chen Lin had brought back, as well as the heads of the Liao and Goryeo royal families, to the Ancestral Temple.

Kou Ji and others also sacrificed some of the prisoners.

Zhao Zhen held the sacrificial inscriptions and climbed onto the altar in the Ancestral Temple. He spoke in a very strong tone and counted his merits and demerits to heaven and earth and to the ancestors of the Zhao family.

Then he was very ruthless and had people cut down the prisoners presented by Kou Ji and others.

Put the bloody head together with the other heads.

The civil servants looked at Zhao Zhen's very tough way of worshiping his ancestors, and they had a lot of things to say in their hearts, but they couldn't say a word.

The military ministers were extremely excited when they saw Zhao Zhen worshiping his ancestors very forcefully.

After Zhao Zhen burned the sacrificial inscriptions, he put his hands behind his back and turned around, facing the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
