Huizong looked at Hua Ju and said, "If this dog thief takes him back to the capital, I will sentence him to death. Now that you kill him, it is in line with my wishes. How could I blame you? Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Hua Jue got up, Wu Chenghai handed the confiscated Zhu Xie family wealth list to Huizong. Huizong saw that Zhu Xie had more money than Cai Jing and Gao Qiu were, and his whole body was trembling with anger and said, "This damn dog thing."

, I actually borrowed my name to accumulate so much money. If you hadn't discovered his crime this time, I wouldn't know how long I would be deceived by him. If I really waited for his plan to succeed, I'm afraid the Song Dynasty would be real

It's dangerous, this dog thief is really dead."

Hua Ju said, "Your Majesty, when I came back, the people of Suzhou asked me to bring you something."

"What?" Huizong asked hurriedly.

Hua Ju walked to the gate of the hall, took the umbrella of the people in, and said, "The people of Suzhou knew that Your Majesty had removed Zhu Xie for them, so they made this umbrella of the people on the eve of their return to express their

Thank you to Your Majesty.”

"Umbrella of the People!" Huizong had never heard of this word before, and was stunned when he looked at the things in Hua Ju's hand.

However, this cannot be blamed on Huizong. After all, no one had given this thing to the emperor before, and he had not even heard of it.

Moreover, strictly speaking, the thing in Huaju's hand cannot be called an umbrella. It is just tied to a specially made wooden stick with countless small cloth strips written on it. It cannot be called it in terms of shape.

umbrella.

Moreover, when the elder handed over this thing to him, he did not say it was the umbrella of the people. Hua Ju defined it as the umbrella of the people based on the information he received in his later generations.

"What is the function of this thing?" Huizong asked.

"This thing has no special purpose. They are just a way for the people of Jiangnan to express their respect for Your Majesty, which means that they are all willing to be loyal to Your Majesty's determination."

Hua Ju said: "The people in Jiangnan have been harmed by Fang La and Zhu Xie for a long time, and have no money to give His Majesty valuable gifts, so they have to express their loyalty to His Majesty in this way. Look, every cloth strip on it

They all wrote their respect for His Majesty.”

Huizong was happy when he heard his explanation, so he quickly asked the eunuch to take the umbrella of Wanmin. As expected, every cloth strip on it was written with different words of blessing him. Some wished him a long life, and some wished the Song Dynasty a thousand years.

Forever, it is a good blessing anyway.

Huizong was very happy when he looked at the words of blessings and auspiciousness, and tears almost came out of touch.

"Wenshan, I didn't do anything for the people of Suzhou. How did they give me umbrellas of the people?" Huizong suddenly thought of this question.

Hua Ju said: "This is because I told them that His Majesty heard that Zhu Xie was committing evil in Suzhou and oppressing the people, so he sent me to investigate and execute him, so they were very grateful to His Majesty."

When Huizong heard that it was Hua Jue who helped him establish a good image among the people in Jiangnan, the people gave him the umbrella of the people. He felt very moved and thought, "Wenshan not only helped me recover the lost land in Jiangnan, but also helped me.

I established prestige in the hearts of the people of Jiangnan. I was always thinking about me. This son-in-law really chose the right choice."

"Wenshan, thank you for thinking about me so much." Huizong said gratefully.

Hua Ju said: "This is what I should do."

Huizong handed the Wanmin Umbrella to Wu Chenghai and said, "Let someone put it in my bedroom, and I will see him every day from now on."

"yes."

Wu Chenghai took the Wanmin Umbrella and handed it to an eunuch beside him, and the eunuch left with him.

"Your Majesty, Fang La and other serious offenders have been escorted outside the palace. Please deal with him." Hua Ju said.

Huizong immediately called the commander of the Imperial Guard, and ordered: "Enter them all into the Heavenly Prison and be executed at noon tomorrow at Cross Street."

"Abide by the order." Commander Wei said, then turned around and went out. Wu Chenghai also went out to send the seized property to the Ministry of Revenue for storage.

Huizong asked someone to bring a chair to Hua Ju and the others. After they sat down, he asked, "Wenshan, tell me in detail how you destroyed Fang La in such a short time."

Hua Jue explained the whole process in detail. Huizong was very excited after hearing this and said, "Wenshan, after returning, he drew all the experiences and showed them to me."

Hua Ju said: "I obey the order."

In fact, he had used this time to draw all the experiences of the conquest of Fang La, but he did not tell Huizong, because if he told him now, he would definitely ask him to bring it right away, at most one or two

I finished watching all the time, and then I won’t watch it anymore.

Therefore, he prepared to take it out one by one slowly, so that Huizong could keep his interest in following.

"Wenshan, the generals who went to the expedition with you have made great contributions. In addition to promoting them to official positions and rewarding them with wealth, I also want to give them something special. What do you think is good to give them?" Huizong asked.

Hua Ju said: "They are all military generals and they love weapons, armor and horses very much. If your Majesty wants to reward them with something special, then choose from these three."

Huizong nodded slightly, turned his head to look at Shang Peiling, and asked, "Are there any best horses among the horses we bought?"

Shang Peiling said: "Your Majesty, most of the horses we bought are medium-sized horses. Whether it is the Western Xia or the Liao Kingdom, the best and top-quality horses are left for ourselves, and we don't have them."

"Then I can only give them weapons and armor."

Huizong asked Hua Ju about the number of all the generals and the weapons they used, and then asked Shang Peiling to tell the Ministry of Works that they would make a batch of special armor and weapons within three days.

"The old minister will do it immediately."

Shang Peiling stood up and left. Zhou Xiaode, Su Yuanjing and others knew that Huizong had something to say to Hua Ju, so they all stood up and said goodbye.

After they left, Hua Ju accompanied Huizong to say something for half an hour, then stood up and said goodbye. Huizong said, "Tonight, you go to the palace with Nuer to have dinner. I haven't seen Nuer for a long time.

Now.”

"Why, the princess hasn't entered the palace to visit His Majesty these days?" Hua Ju asked.

Huizong said: "I used to come often, but since she took over the management of those shops from your father, she has been less time in the official office and hasn't been there for several days."

"The princess has begun to take over the management of His Majesty's shops?" Hua Ju was a little surprised.

Because when he left, his father didn't say that he would hand over the shops to Zhao Jinnu immediately. Why did he hand over the shops to Zhao Jinnu when he came back?

"yes."

Huizong said, "I heard from Nuer that it was your father who asked her to take over it. It has been more than twenty days since."

"So that's how it is."

Hua Ju knew that his father would not let her take over so early for no reason. There must be some reason, so she was going back and asking.

Hua Jue came out of the palace and went to the guard camp first. She met Wen Huanzhang to learn about the situation of the camp and whether the pensions had been paid to the fallen soldiers. Wen Huanzhang told him that everything had been done.

Then, Hua Jue gathered all the generals together and said, "Your Majesty knows that you have made great contributions in this expedition to destroy Fang La. He is very happy. He said that in addition to giving you a reward, he will also give you one.

A special gift, but this special gift takes several days to prepare, so the reward given to you is temporarily postponed by a few days. When the special gift given to you is ready, we will give you the reward together."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Junyi, Guan Sheng, Sun An, Gao Zhan, Wang Jin and others said in unison.

Hua Ju turned her head and looked at Li Tianrun, Si Xingfang, Wang Yin and other surrendered generals, and said, "I think you should already know my true identity, right?"

Li Tianrun said: "General Lu and the others have already said that you are the most rumored by the world. You dare to fight against Liao envoys in the Golden Palace and send Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others to the guillotine commander Hua Jue."

Hua Ju said: "I have told Your Majesty you surrendered just now. Your Majesty is very happy that you can abandon your darkness and turn to the light and return to the right path, so you will not pursue what you have done in the past.

He also instructed you to stay in the guards in the future and serve them well. As long as you can do your best to the court, you can also be promoted in the future like General Lu, General Guan, Gao and others."

Li Tianrun said: "Don't worry, sir, we will swear to be loyal to the court from now on and will never let down the kindness of Your Majesty and Your Majesty."

Hua Ju nodded gently, thought for a while, and wrote eighteen appointment letters in succession with a pen, appointing the Sixingfang, Li Tianrun, Wang Yin and others as generals of the Guards, but they had no specific positions.

In other words, they are now members of the Guards, but are just idle generals and are not responsible for any affairs, but they have a monthly salary.

The reason why Hua Jue doesn't give them a position now is to test them again, not only their loyalty, but also their abilities. After all, the escort army has a very heavy responsibility, and the position of the leading general must be comparable to their abilities.

If it is in line with it, you cannot just fill in the numbers, otherwise you will not be able to fight if you go to the battlefield in the future.

Hua Jue gave them the letter of appointment and said, "From now on, you are the official generals of the Guards. Every word and action represents the Guards and the court, and they cannot be as casual as before.

In addition, although you are now formal generals of the Guards, if you want to obtain specific positions, you must have real talent and military achievements.

Therefore, what kind of position you can obtain depends on how much contribution you have made to the neutrality of Song Jiang, Tian Hu and Wang Qing in the future."

Si Xingfang, Li Tianrun and others Liu Sheng said: "We will definitely kill more enemies and make contributions, and we will never let down our expectations."

"It's best for you to think like this."

Hua Ju looked at Wen Huanzhang and said, "Mr. Wen, there are a few of them who have families. You can send someone to arrange their residence for them. As for other generals who do not have families, you can temporarily give them to the military camp.

Let’s make arrangements for them, if they want to go out to live in the future, they will find another house.”

"As for the orders of humble duties," Wen Huanzhang replied.
