If it is spread to Pingli, this twilight time when the sun sets, it is the time for many people to eat, so the number of people coming in and out of Yingtian City will not be too many, but today's city and outside the city, it is different from Ping, it is already overcrowded, if it is not for many high-ranking officials and dignitaries gathered here, the Royal Forest Army has already strengthened its defense, I am afraid that it has already been crowded out of the stampede.

Although the general has maintained a very low-key posture all the way, tens of thousands of troops gathered together, no matter how low-key it is, it is also a vast and vast dàng) dàng) eye-catching team, and where can it be low-key, so as early as yesterday, the news that the general is about to return to the capital today spread frantically in Yingtian City.

This news was finally confirmed after seeing the civil and military officials outside the gate of Yingtian City and His Majesty the Emperor at the front.

Not to mention how much influence the general has in the Great Chu State, but to say that the harm brought to the people of Chu by the war in Mangcang Mountain and the respect for the soldiers and generals who defended the country also prompted countless people to spontaneously surround them, and for a while, Ying Tiancheng was actually surrounded to a point where it was impassable.

Countless people stretched their necks and lifted their feet like a big white goose waiting to be fed, wanting to see the demeanor of the general, but unfortunately they were blocked by the crowd in front of them and could not do so.

His Majesty the Emperor led the civil and military officials out of the city to greet them in person, which is an extremely respectful treatment, since ancient times, only those peerless generals who have opened up territory for the country are eligible to enjoy, but none of the ministers dared to raise objections, even those who were famous for their bitterness and meanness, and they also maintained absolute silence at this time.

In the face of national hatred, no one dares to come out and touch this brow.

The general dismounted at a great distance outside the city gate, and came slowly on foot, and when he came not far from His Majesty the Emperor, he solemnly saluted with his fists and fell to the ground on one knee.

"Your Majesty, Ding Liyi, the general of the defeated army, has betrayed the trust of the imperial court and the trust of the people of Chu State, and is here to accept the guilt!"

After the general, including Zhao Tian's Mandate Chen Linci, all the soldiers and generals fell to their knees in unison, and in an instant, on the largest official road in the Chu State, the dust flew in an instant, and it looked spectacular.

General Yu recognized the shadow of the baby granddaughter who knelt on the ground in the crowd, looked at her somewhat thin and dark face, sentimental and a little relieved, after this battle, his little granddaughter has finally grown a lot.

Lord Du Wenqidu, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, looked at his youngest son in the crowd in the distance, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes in distress.

His Majesty the Emperor sighed, helped the general up with both hands, and said angrily: "This battle of Mangcang Mountain, it is all because I was confused for a while, and I was deceived by the Jinyue dog thief, so that my 40,000 Chu Guo's sons were buried in a different place. ”

"For a general, it is a sin to not win a battle. The general said in a deep voice: "Li Yi led 100,000 elite soldiers into Vietnam, but only brought back 60,000 sons, who were buried on the battlefield,

It's not just 40,000 lives, it's the hope of 40,000 families, 40,000 families have collapsed, Liyi is really speechless to face the world, but please Your Majesty to surrender. ”

His Majesty the Emperor said slowly: "40,000 soldiers will die in a foreign land, and the soul of the national teacher will return to the sea of stars. ”

"Your Majesty, by no means. The general knelt on the ground again, and his mountain-like body shook a cloud of dust.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the endless soldiers who were kneeling on the ground, sighed deeply, and looked up at the sunset on the horizon.

I am like this red in the west, I have slowly grown old, where is the future of the Great Chu Kingdom?

He looked at Zhao Tianming, who was kneeling on the ground not far away, and the gloomy mist on his face finally dissipated a little.

"General, hurry up, it's getting late, let's go back to the palace with me." ”

......

......

Since the history of the fight, I have never heard of the king going to court at night, but now in the palace of the Great Chu State, such a drama has been staged.

His Majesty the Emperor has been unable to sleep and eat these days, and he really can't wait to stay up all night to discuss state affairs with his ministers.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were arranged to camp in the city to rest, waiting for His Majesty's reward, civil and military officials were arranged on both sides of Jinluan, only the old general Yu and the old general Xing Weiqi, who had been idle, stood in the center, followed by the general Xiao Wang Ye and Chen Linci, Zhao Yiran and other leaders of the six courts.

In the open space in front of the hundred officials, there were Wang Kangyu and Gu Duxing, who had been tightly tied, kneeling.

Both of them used to be the general's right-hand man, in the battle of Mangcang Mountain, the general handed over the most important left and right wing 40,000 soldiers and horses to them, but they were betrayed, although it was with the participation of Wang Chenzhen and Chen Xingguang Elder of the Immortal Palace, how the Chu State fought was a defeat, but the betrayal of the two caused a huge increase in the number of casualties of the Chu army.

These two people will not escape the blame for their deaths, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have brought disaster to the country and the people.

"The Wang family and the Gu family are not big families, I see that you two are manufacturable materials, so I promoted all the way to let you get to this position in the military, I didn't expect you to harbor the heart of a wolf and do such a bad thing, which really makes me feel disappointed and angry!"

His Majesty the Emperor sat on the dragon chair, his face turned blue with anger, and he slapped the table in front of him heavily.

Gu Duxing's face was like ashes, looking at the ground in a daze, his eyes were dull, and he was obviously ready to die. Wang Kangyu had a sad face and muttered: "Your Majesty is kind to the criminal ministers, and the ministers don't know, but Li Zheng helped the Western Jin Dynasty to kidnap the criminal ministers' family, and the battle of Mangcang Mountain was really a last resort!"

Looking at Wang Kangyu's sad face, His Majesty the Emperor didn't know whether to laugh or be angry for a while, at this moment, General Yu stepped forward and kicked Wang Kangyu on the back, kicking him to a stumbling position, and the old general scolded angrily: "Your Wang Kangyu's family is the old and young."

Life, then how should the 40,000 families of my Great Chu State lose their pillars? In vain, you have been in the army for so many years, and you can't tell such a simple truth, you should be killed! You should be killed!"

"Not only should it be killed, but it should be executed by a thousand knives!" I don't know who echoed it, and the crowd was immediately angry, and some people even spitted.

His Majesty the Emperor turned a deaf ear to these disrespectful actions, and after Ren Baiguan finished venting, Wang Kangyu and Gu Duxing's Shang was already filthy, and His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand, summoned the guards, and muttered: "I don't want to see these two scum residues again, and they will be executed at the entrance of the vegetable market at noon tomorrow to thank the world!"

"Yes!"

The guards stepped forward and dragged the two down, Gu Duxing didn't speak from beginning to end, and there was not even any change in appearance, as if he had become numb, only Wang Kangyu cried and shouted, begging His Majesty the Emperor to spare a dog's life, but in exchange for only the contempt of hundreds of officials.

After dragging the two away, His Majesty the Emperor sighed and asked slowly: "Is there any statistics on the names of the sons and daughters who died in the Battle of Mangcang Mountain?"

The general said: "Back to Your Majesty, all the information has been counted by the military. ”

"Good. His Majesty the Emperor said in a deep voice: "The soldiers who died before the battle, each family will be given a pension of 800 taels of silver, and the rest of the soldiers will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and the military salary will be doubled this year. ”

"Your Majesty is merciful, thank all the brothers in the military camp on behalf of Weichen!" the general clenched his fists and knelt on the ground.

"Heavenly Grace ......" His Majesty the Emperor laughed at himself and muttered: "Just eight hundred taels of silver bought all the future of a family, I am really Heavenly Grace Hao for these people of the Great Chu State?

After a long time, he looked at the ministers inside again and asked calmly, "What year is this year?"

Ying Tianfu Yin Cao Jiahao knelt on the ground and replied in a deep voice: "Back to Your Majesty, this year is the forty-sixth year of the Great Chu Tianxi. ”

"Forty-six years. His Majesty the Emperor sighed and said: "When I first ascended the throne, I was still a hairy boy, thanks to the support of the National Teacher all the way, I have come to this day, and now the National Teacher has also left me, and you high-spirited guys are also old." ”

Speaking of this, he pointed to General Yu and General Xing Weiqi on his fingers, and said with a smile: "Old General, did you say what I said?"

With tears in the corners of his eyes, General Yu nodded and said: "The years are urging people to grow old, and the old minister is no longer the general who crisscrossed the battlefield back then, only Your Majesty, you are still as heroic as you were back then." ”

His Majesty the Emperor smiled faintly, waved his hand and said, "General Yu, this is not the style you had when you were young, how come the older you get, the more you learn to slap your horse." I know in my heart that the so-called Ninety-Five Heavenly Son Long Live Long Live is just a word made up by the emperors of the past dynasties to deceive themselves, and I am also old, I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany this land for many years. ”

The civil and military officials hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted in unison

"Your Majesty is blessed with all the heavens, the dragon body is healthy, long live long live long live." ”

His Majesty the Emperor smiled slightly, he had always been curious about how these officials in the court could communicate with each other, and even the words they said were the same, but he might not be able to get an answer again in this life.

With a long sigh, His Majesty the Emperor announced in a deep voice the answer to the question that all the beings of the Six Courtyards were more concerned about.

This year's Heavenly Dao Academy's Perception Divine Stone quota belongs to which three teenagers.

In this battle of Mangcang Mountain, His Majesty placed the competition of the Six Courtyards on the front line, originally planned to let the disciples of the Six Courtyards follow the experience, but he did not expect to encounter this situation, but Chen Linci defeated Zhu Shaoqing and Lu Yuanhao in the process, and also killed the genius monk Gao Yifan of the Western Jin Kingdom.

As for who will spend the remaining two places, it has always been a question of concern to everyone.

But His Majesty's will was all beyond everyone's expectations.

"The National Teacher has already left, this time the quota of the Heavenly Dao Academy's Divine Stone Enlightenment, I plan to no longer follow the old practice, all the disciples of the Six Courtyards who participated in the Mangcang Mountain War this time can enter the courtyard to observe the Stone Enlightenment!"
