The twenty-fourth day of June is the auspicious day of the zodiac that Qin Tianjian has repeatedly deliberated and carefully set, and it is on this day that the celebration of the Marshal of the Patriotic Monarchy who welcomes his triumphant return is held. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, on such a good day, before dawn in the morning, a light rain began to fall, and it became heavier and heavier. All the people who were excited to go to the ceremony could only stay at home and look at the rain and sigh, complaining that the heavens were not beautiful.

The heavy rain will not stop because of people's complaints, and it will not fall until the hour, and it is time for His Majesty to lead the civil and military officials out of the city, and the rain still shows no signs of stopping.

Even if it rains, the good day cannot be delayed. After giving the order to set off, the emperor took a deep look at the head of the Qin Heavenly Prison and said nothing.

The main thing was seen by this glance as earthy, and he joined the team of hundred officials with a sad face, and followed the dragon behind him and walked slowly in the heavy rain.

The heavy rain had no effect on the emperor himself, who was sitting in the dragon bowl, and he couldn't get wet anyway; According to the rules, in order to show respect for the triumphant soldiers on this occasion, no matter how big the officials, they must follow the royal car and walk all the way from the palace to the outside of the city.

Walking in front of him was the emperor who was waiting for the autumn queen to settle accounts, surrounded by colleagues who looked at each other angrily, and it was still pouring rain in the sky, this morning was definitely the most difficult moment in the life of the head of Qin Tianjian.

Fortunately, it is summer, even if it rains, there is no cold, there are few people watching the ceremony on the street, and few people see the rare embarrassment of the officials. In this way, each secretly comforted himself in his heart, and the towering city gate soon appeared in front of everyone.

At three o'clock, the army led by Shen Ze arrived outside the city gate as scheduled.

Strange to say, when the army appeared in everyone's sight, the pouring rain stopped abruptly, and the golden sun suddenly made a force to break away the obscuring dark clouds and shine on the earth.

The officials immediately knelt on the ground with the army and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, God bless Jing'an!" ”

"Hahaha......" The emperor walked out of the dragon and smiled very vigorously under the sunshine.

"Where is Marshal Shen Ze?"

Shen Ze, who was dressed in military uniform, immediately stepped forward quickly, knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists: "Weichen Shen Ze, fortunately, I am not dishonored!" ”

"Good, good, good!" The emperor looked at the young man in front of him who had experienced the baptism of war and was obviously more mature and stable than a year ago, and couldn't help but praise it repeatedly.

After the emperor's routine speech, the chief eunuch took out the holy decree that had been prepared and read it aloud.

Shen Ze, the biggest hero of this battle, only received a bunch of material rewards, after all, his current other identity is the son of the Duke of Weiguo, and according to the ancestral system, his reward cannot exceed that of his father Shen Bin. Therefore, the merits he accumulated were counted on Wei Guogong, Shen Bin was promoted from Wei Guogong to Wei Wang, and Shen Ze became the son of Wei Wang.

This is the first prince with a different surname since the founding of Jing'an, the meritorious dart banner general Wei Zheng has not been able to be crowned king after three dynasties, and Shen Yi, who also repelled the invasion of the Limeng army thirty years ago, failed to be crowned king, but Shen Ze, who was weak in the crown year, did it, and no one questioned it. -- The reason is simple: this war is different from 30 years ago. Thirty years ago, although Shen Yi also defeated the Limeng people, at that time, Jing'an's wind and rain were smooth, the treasury was sufficient, and the country's Zhenyuguan was solid, and the crisis in Jing'an was not too big; And this time, what Shen Ze took over at the beginning was a complete mess, and he was able to play a bad hand into today's situation, and what he did had greatly surpassed his ancestor Shen Yi. In addition, he is currently the next Duke of Weiguo, and if he wants to be promoted to the throne, he has no other choice but to be crowned king, so even though he knew that he had a lot of credit for assassinating "Crimea" in the end, the emperor still made the will of the king after weighing it left and right.

And Shen Ze is also very interesting. After receiving the reward, Xie En did not hesitate to take the initiative to return the military power, and resolutely resigned from the emperor's "good intentions" to keep him in the army. Shen Ze is not a person who loves power, he is soberly aware of the truth that "prosperity must decline". Don't look at him who is in the limelight for a while, but if he doesn't return the military power, a king with a different surname with a heavy army will eventually grow into a thorn in the king's side, and in the end, he will either rebel or wait for the scenery to be convicted of being confiscated.

The son's decision was secretly discussed by the father and son before, so Shen Bin was not surprised, and laughed proudly in the congratulatory voice of his colleagues in the officialdom.

In addition to the greatest meritorious hero Shen Ze, there are also a number of meritorious heroes who were born and died on the battlefield and were also rewarded.

Jiang Yunfei got his wish, and used his blood and sweat to regain the glory that his father had lost on the battlefield, and was named the deputy commander of the palace, and the position of Zheng Sipin was half a level higher than Jiang Wu before.

Jiang Quan, Jiang Yong's brothers, and Dark Eight and others also got the rewards they deserved. Shen Ze had asked a few people about their intentions before, but everyone was not satisfied with their achievements, and they all wanted to stay in the army and continue to wait for the opportunity to earn meritorious services. Therefore, in the petition submitted by Shen Ze to the imperial court, he won the three positions of Zhenwei lieutenant, deputy lieutenant and Zhiguo lieutenant respectively, and the official rank was between the sixth rank and the seventh rank. Don't look at the officials, but one of them is from a civilian background, and the other has been a lowly member, and it is not easy to win the current status through their own efforts.

The long list of rewards was read, followed by a tedious ceremony, and when the celebration was over, it was noon.

When the royal driver led the civil and military officials and the generals who returned from the open source to step into the city gate, the people who came out of their homes and gathered on the street for a long time after the rain stopped, were fortunate to witness a once-in-a-lifetime magnificent spectacle.

The majestic and bright imperial honor guard, the jubilant court officials, and the elite of the army in full of spirits...... When the procession came out of the city gate, there was no glare of sunlight in the sky, only the beautiful rainbow that was clearly visible. The group seemed to come out of the rainbow, and each of them reflected a dreamy rainbow of light.

Hundreds of people spontaneously knelt on their knees and shouted happily: "Heaven is auspicious, God bless me Jing'an!" ”

Compared with the obvious flattery of the officials before, although the people were not neat, they could be heard from the bottom of their hearts.

The happiness of the people is so simple, there is no war, there is no turmoil, and being able to live a stable life is enough for them to be grateful. They are grateful for God's blessing, for the wisdom of the saints, for the Marshal of Patriotism for turning the tide, and for all the officers and men of the army who fought bravely to kill the enemy...... The cheers spread from the city gate to the outside of the palace walls, and the capital became a sea of joy on this day, and everyone's faces were full of smiles, as if to herald the coming of prosperity.
