The southern army led by Yue Xiao was already strong and strong, with sufficient grain and grass, so they took advantage of the situation to pursue and reach the capital of Xifan Kingdom. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Emperor Xifan was forced to write a letter of surrender, promising to pay tribute to the south every year a number of cattle and sheep and other items, Yue Xiao took the prince of Xifan as a hostage, as well as a hundred female music class and antiques, calligraphy, paintings, cattle, sheep and horses to the southern capital.
Tang Qingxuan got the news, summoned the minister of civil and military affairs, and personally went to the city gate to welcome Yue Xiao's triumphant return.
There is no need to describe that scene, firecrackers are ringing, music is bursting, and the people are welcome, which really makes Yue Xiao out of the limelight.
Yue Xiao was on top of the main hall and handed Tang Qingxuan a gift list for the tribute, so that Tang Qingxuan could look at them one by one.
Tang Qingxuan laughed, immediately recruited the prince of Xifan, asked some information about Xifan, and gave wine and some mansions, in order to appease Xifan, Tang Qingxuan also specially selected twenty palace maids with excellent looks to serve the prince of Xifan.
Everything was settled, and the banquet was placed on the main hall. Hundreds of civil and military officials, divided into two sides of the main hall, all the ministers came to pay tribute to Yue Xiao's wine. The king of Tangxi blushed and raised his glass.
"General Yue, this king is incompetent, the army was defeated in the west, and he felt guilty in the south, but fortunately, General Yue went out and arrived in the capital of the west country, forcing him to surrender, go to my southern country, return triumphantly, and come out of this evil breath for this king, come, this king toasts you!"
"King Tangxi's words are serious!"
Yue Xiao already had a draft in his heart, and when he came, he couldn't be proud of his achievements, so that King Tangxi couldn't come to the stage.
Moreover, he repeatedly couldn't find Tang Yi and Chen Yu, these two people were unpredictable, they came and went in a hurry on the battlefield, and he was not allowed to say a word at all, and when the emperor Tang Qingxuan was anxious, he urged him every time to send these two children back to Nandu, but he didn't do it.
The third is that the southern army can cause the surrender of the West so quickly, Chen Yu Tang Yi is indispensable, so many soldiers have seen with their own eyes, they killed the enemy bravely on the battlefield, he can't help but report, he is also very willing to report, because Chen Yu's meritorious service is what he wants, in Yue Xiao's eyes, Chen Yu is still his little master, Yue Xiao can never forget Chen Jing's cultivation of him.
Therefore, Yue Xiao continued.
"Your Majesty, King Tangxi, this victory, Weichen did not dare to take the first credit, the master and the princess, the merit is indispensable, they are unexpected, killing countless enemies, under their stick and sword, more than ten generals of the West Fan died, so that later, as long as they saw the two of them, the Western army immediately collapsed, and my army was in great spirits, killing them on their backs, that is really a pleasure, which is why my southern army won the West so quickly. According to the report below, more than 5,000 officers and men of our southern country were killed or wounded this time, while more than 70,000 officers and men of the western region were killed or wounded, and countless people escaped. The minister begged the emperor to reward the princess! ”
"Humph!" Tang Qingxuan turned to the side, he knew that Tang Yi and Chen Yu had arrived at the back door, and his father-in-law quietly handed him a message, saying that the Queen Mother had led them here, he pretended not to know, and said to Yue Xiao: "If you want to say that you will reward Yu'er heavily, I have nothing to say, Princess Nayi, when I see her, I will break her leg before mentioning the merits, and see if she dares to make a mistake next time?" ”
That Tang Yi Chen Yu, as soon as he returned to the Southern Capital, Tang Yi took Chen Yu to sneak into the harem and ran to the old grandmother, the Queen Mother was happy and angry, slapped Tang Yi twice, and held her in her arms, refusing to let go for a moment. The two queens looked at Tang Yi's pitiful appearance, and they didn't believe that she dared to go to the front of the two armies to kill the enemy.
"Queen Mother, do you see?" The queen was also full of anticipation, and she looked at the queen mother with a blank face.
The Queen Mother glared at Tang Yi and pushed her: "Go?" There is a celebration feast ahead, and your father will reward you greatly! ”
"Huh?" Tang Yi drilled his head into the arms of the Queen Mother, and sprinkled coquettishly, Chen Yu turned his face away, he had never seen Tang Yi like this, and he was a little embarrassed.
"Good, good!" The Queen Mother hugged Tang Yi and said vigorously: "I'll help you this time, and if you don't say hello next time, I'll let your father beat you!" ”
When the queen mother arrived at the side, the ministers saw it and left the table busily, and Chen Yu Tangyi also came down together and knelt down with the ministers.
"The minister sees the queen mother, and the minister sees the queen mother!"
"Flat!" The two sat down and said in their mouths.
"Chen Yu meets the emperor!"
"Yi'er sees his father!"
"Yu'er is flat!" Tang Qingxuan looked at the two days below who were still kneeling, and said in his mouth.
Chen Yu saw that the emperor did not let Tang Yi get up, so he did not move.
"Yu'er, why are you still kneeling?"
"Your Majesty, Chen Yu knows that there is a thief, and he begs the emperor to punish him!"
"Huh? Tell me, "What is your sin?" ”
"Your Majesty, Yu'er is messing around with the princess and making the emperor angry!"
"Your Majesty, I'll forget it, just spare these two children!" The Queen Mother smiled.
"Queen Mother, I don't mean to punish Yu'er!" Tang Qingxuan said to the Queen Mother with a pleasant face, and then turned to Tang Yi, "But I don't know where this young lady kneeling down below came from, how can she kneel here?" Let's get your name in! ”
"Father!" Tang Yi looked up and saw that Tang Qingxuan's face was pale, and he screamed coquettishly.
"How can I have such a daughter as you? Why don't I know my daughter? Tang Qingxuan's nostrils were facing the sky and he didn't look at her.
"Father, my daughter knows it's wrong!"
"Wrong? What's wrong with you? Tang Qingxuan said leisurely: "Why don't I know? ”
Tang Yi raised his eyes and peeked at the Queen Mother and moved his mouth to the emperor.
"Don't give the Queen Mother a look!" Tang Qingxuan slapped the table and said angrily: "You are a dignified princess of the southern country, you are simply lawless, do you still have the queen mother in your eyes?" Do you still have me and a queen mother in your eyes? Do you still know how to return to the palace? Why don't you go wild outside? ”
Tang Yi touched Tang Qingxuan's pulse, and she suddenly cried: "I was going to come back early, but when I saw Brother Yu's dragon stick, I thought, Brother Yu has not made meritorious service in the southern country, just take this opportunity to let Brother Yu show his skills, kill enemies for my southern country, and be loyal to my father."
Father, you only know that your daughter will not come back to see you and the Queen Mother, do you know how much your daughter has suffered outside in the past two years? Didn't the daughter know that there were delicacies in the palace? Is there a sheltered house? In the past two years, my daughter and my brother have been like two orphans, hungry to beg in the village, thirsty to drink river water, sleepy to find a haystack to sleep all night, even, even, woo woo! ”
After listening to Tang Yi's words, the Queen Mother wiped her tears, the Queen wiped her tears, and Tang Qingxuan sat on it, feeling compassion and heartache.
Chen Yu knelt there, and when he heard Tang Yi mention that they were like two orphans, he also cried, isn't he just an orphan!
"The emperor is angry, the princess is young and ignorant, she must have suffered a lot in the past two years, suffered a lot of grievances, with the princess's character, she cried like this, begging the emperor not to punish the princess, so that she can be comforted!" The prime minister came forward to intercede.
"Please ask the emperor to forgive the princess!"
"Please ask the emperor to forgive the princess!"
The ministers stood up one after another to excuse Tang Yi, Tang Qingxuan saw that there was a step down, and the queen mother looked at each other, so he said leisurely.
"Since the ministers intercede for you, then write it down for the time being, and if you commit it again next time, you will be punished together, and you will be even!"
Everyone got up, and the father-in-law had already placed a few seats, let the Queen Mother Chen Yu feast, and also gave Tang Yi Chen Yu two positions.
That Tang Yi didn't get into his place, walked to Tang Qingxuan's desk, picked up the pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, Tang Qingxuan looked at her in surprise.
"Why don't you go back to your place?" Tang Qingxuan looked at her and said.
"There must be delicious food in front of my father, if I don't start first, I won't be able to eat a bite when the minister is rewarded!"
"Someone!" Tang Qingxuan said leisurely, "Send all of me to Princess Yi's table, I'll eat hers, and when you're full, let her continue to go outside!" ”
"Father, what else do you say? With so many ministers here, you can't save some face for Yi'er? Later, when I went out to meet people, how embarrassed was I? ”
The Queen Mother's tears did not dry, but she smiled, and the ministers also laughed. Tang Qingxuan glared at Tang Yi and didn't say anything more.
waited for the food to be served, and asked the palace maid to send her share to Tang Yi, and waited for her to eat a piece before bringing it to herself.
Everyone saw it in their eyes, and their hearts were very moved, even if it was the emperor, his love for his daughter was as vulgar as ordinary people.
