Your Majesty, the army of Liu Mingzhi, the Marquis of Wanhu, has arrived fifteen miles away from the capital! ”

The chief steward hurried into the imperial study with a letter in his hand.

Li Zheng, who was guiding Li Baiyu to review the folds, suddenly turned to look at the chief manager with a face that was difficult to do.

"Coming back?"

"Yes, the army of the Western Expedition has returned victorious! Seventy thousand Erlang was lost to recover the thirty-eight countries of the Western Regions, and the Western Regions were included in the territory of the Great Dragon! ”

Li Zhengdu wandered at a loss: "Great, two years, only two years to recover the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, the great feats, the great feats!" ”

The crown prince Li Baiyu also peeked at the chief manager in surprise, it was not a great thing for his brother-in-law to return victorious.

The more powerful the brother-in-law is, as long as he shows a little bit of his mouth, his throne will not be far from ten.

"Quick, summon the civil and military officials who are cultivating to enter the palace immediately to meet you!"

"Yes!"

"Fuhai!"

"Your Majesty, the little one is here!"

"Change my clothes!"

"Yes!"

Father-in-law Fu picked up the dragon robe on the hanger and was about to serve Li Zheng to put it on, but Li Zheng pushed it away: "The formal clothes used for the big sacrifice, I want to wear the formal clothes used for the big sacrifice!" ”

"Yes! The small ones will go to the Shangyi room to get them! ”

Father-in-law Fu trotted out of the imperial study, not daring to hesitate at all.

"Yu'er!"

"Father!"

"Spread the decree to the Zongren Mansion, when the Western Expedition army is about to rush to Lin'anmen, the ancestral bell rings six times in a row!"

"Huh? Father, even the Spring Festival only rang the bell three times, is the specification of six times too high? ”

"You know what? Let you go, you will go! By the way, starting from ten miles away, the loess paved the road to welcome my army of the Western Expedition, and the great dragon Erlang who welcomed me returned victorious! ”

"Sons obey orders!"

Li Baiyu put down the red pen in his hand and hurriedly ran towards the outside of the hall, he could feel the joy of his father from the bottom of his heart from the inside out.

Li Zheng, who is nearly fifty years old, no longer has the dragon spirit and tiger fierceness of the past, and has a sense of vicissitudes.

Especially the gray hair on the sideburns is like an old man, the only thing that remains unchanged is that the eyes are deeper and deeper.

What remains unchanged is the kind of imperial domineering that reigns over the world.

Ask the world who else I am!

"Your Majesty, the formal suit is here!"

The bright yellow dragon robe is only worn when worshipping the ancestors or when the emperor dies, and not the emperor wears a bright yellow dragon robe all the time like in the TV series.

Most of the time, the emperor's clothes are mostly black and dark.

Li Zheng solemnly brought the Pingtian crown.

The crown of the flat sky, two out of ten, is crowned with soap yarn, and it is said to be overturned. The tung plate is the quality, the clothes are Qi, the Xuan table is in the Zhuli, and the front is round and the rear.

Li Zheng himself forgot how long he hadn't put it on, and Liu Mingzhi's triumphant return this time was enough to prove that Li Zheng took a fancy to Liu Mingzhi.

Flicking the bright yellow dragon robe, Li Zheng looked out of the palace with a faint look in his eyes: "Swing Lin'anmen!" ”

"Your Majesty is on the Anmen!"

"Appeal ............"

"I have seen the generalissimo of the Western Expedition, and His Majesty is on the Anmen Gate to welcome the triumphant return of the Western Expedition army!"

"Liu Mingzhi is polite, and he will report to His Majesty, and the minister will immediately lead the army of the Western Expedition to Lin'anmen!"

"Farewell!"

"Look, big handsome, the loess paves the road, the highest etiquette to greet the general!"

During the Qing Dynasty, the loess paved the road, and the Qingshui Jing Street mostly used the emperor to patrol, which can be described as a waste of money and labor.

However, before the Qing Dynasty, the loess paving road was not really paved with a layer of loess, but sprinkled with a thin layer of loess, implying respect for the army of the Western Expedition.

This etiquette is becoming more and more distorted, and it is becoming more and more costly.

At present, the paving of loess only needs a few hundred cavalry to complete, and a kind of etiquette does not depend on the amount of loess.

Liu Mingzhi nodded lightly: "Order the three armies, march forward in formation, until the Sixth Guard Battalion Anza!" ”

"Order!"

The 320,000-strong army galloped quickly in a formation of horses, and had already rushed to the outskirts of the capital for about half an hour.

In addition to a group of important generals, the soldiers of the Six Guards consciously scattered towards the Six Guards camp of the Gongwei Jing Division.

The army returned triumphantly, and the military department, the official department, and the household department had their own rewards, but if the 320,000 army reached the Beijing division, it would be a big deal.

"Detour to the South Gate until Lin'anmen!"

Song Qing looked at a group of generals and hundreds of personal soldiers: "The marshal has an order, detour to the south gate until Lin'an Gate!" ”

"Order!"

Hundreds of horsemen galloped, rolling up puffs of smoke and dust around the walls of the capital division and galloping towards the south gate.

"The army of the Western Expedition has returned triumphantly and moved away from the horses!"

The guards guarding the outer city did not hesitate to move away from the horses, and looked enviously at the hundreds of horsemen galloping into the city gate, this is the grace of the concession!

On the Lin'an Gate, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stood on the city wall and looked towards the south gate.

There were many people entering the city, and hundreds of horsemen had to slow down and move slowly.

The people who welcomed the people on both sides came one after another, excitedly looking at Liu Dashao who was hurrying in the middle.

"The Generalissimo is mighty! The army of the Western Expedition is mighty! ”

"The Generalissimo is mighty! The army of the Western Expedition is mighty! ”

This is the people's spontaneous organization of the welcome ceremony, every time there is a large army triumphantly returned, the people do not need to be informed by the government, every time they can spontaneously drag their families to the streets to welcome the triumphant return of the army!

"Husband!"

"Young Master!"

"Wu'er!"

Liu Mingzhi heard a familiar voice and turned to look, Liu Zhi'an, Mrs. Liu, the third princess, Ying'er Qinglian and others were crowded by the crowd and shouted at him, waving his arms.

Liu Dashao's eyes were slightly moist and he grinned.

Especially Qinglian stood there unharmed, the 10,000-pound boulder in Liu Mingzhi's heart was suddenly put down, and the emperor was still the tolerant and open-minded emperor in his impression.

Nodding fiercely at everyone, Liu Mingzhi looked at Murong Shan and Qi Yun: "You two find a chance to sneak out and go home first, Your Majesty may not care about you two women accompanying the army, but the imperial historians are not easy to say, their brains will not turn, and they can only grieve the two of you for unnecessary trouble!" ”

Qi Yun and the two girls nodded slightly, and found an opportunity to leap into the crowd and disappear amid the cheers of the people!

The people were not surprised, and thought that the two pro-soldiers had received orders from the generalissimo to make other arrangements.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

“...........”

The sound of a heavy bell resounded throughout the city from the bell tower of the palace.

One, two, until the afterglow of the phonograph bell rang again and again, gradually disappeared from the sky.

Liu Mingzhi looked in the direction of the bell tower of the imperial city in a daze, and the bell of the heavenly sacrifice of the kings rebelled against the Jin country in the past only rang six times.

Even if it is the ancestor worship bell of the Spring Festival dragon, it only rings the bell three times!

The welcome of this specification made Liu Mingzhi a little flattered!

Song Qing also looked excitedly in the direction of the bell tower.

"Dashuai, thirty-two years, the ancestor worship bell has not rang six times in the entire thirty-two years, Your Majesty is really envious of your grace to others!"

"Don't talk about it, let's see Your Majesty first!"

"Okay, the last general can't wait!"

"Report! Your Majesty, Generalissimo Liu has already rushed to Lin'anmen after noon! ”

Li Zheng looked at Liu Mingzhi, who entered the noon gate and slowly walked towards Lin'anmen, with hundreds of people with unconcealable joy in their eyes, lifted the hem of their clothes and walked towards the city wall.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, slow down!"

A group of ministers followed in a panic, and the officials at the back looked at Liu Mingzhi, who was slowly coming under the city wall, and sighed silently.

The Son of Heaven descended to greet him, but I am afraid that I and others will not have such an honor in this life!

The inner gate of Lin'an Gate slowly opened, Li Zheng hurriedly walked out of the city gate, looked at Liu Mingzhi getting closer and closer, and smiled slightly on his face that was getting clearer and clearer.

Liu Mingzhi naturally saw Li Zheng's figure, hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse, turned over, dismounted, and quickly greeted him.

"Generalissimo Liu Mingzhi of the Western Expedition visited his father, how could his son, He De, dare to drive his father down to greet him!"

"Song Qing, the deputy general of the Western Expedition Army!"

"General Long Wuwei Cheng Kai!"

"General Zhou Baoyu!"

“...........”

"See my emperor, long live long live long live!"

"Excuse me, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Zheng trembled and lifted Liu Mingzhi up, looking Liu Mingzhi up and down.

"I'm thin, I'm strong, I've suffered a lot!"

"Erchen lived up to his father's high expectations and led the Western Expeditionary Army of 400,000 people to recover the 38 countries of the Western Regions!"

"Okay, good boy, you and the soldiers have worked hard, enter the palace and talk again, enter the palace and talk again!"

"The son obeys the order, the father and the emperor please!"

"Your Majesty is in charge of the palace of diligent government!"

"Lord Yanagi!"

Li Zheng sat on the dragon and rushed towards the Qinzheng Palace, and Jiang Yuanming, the head of the household, held a piece of black silk and came to Liu Dashao's side, arching Liu Dashao with his shoulder.

"Old Jiang, what are you doing with a piece of silk cloth? A new rule for the imperial court? ”

Jiang Yuanming looked at Liu Dashao faintly.

"In this western expedition, a total of 2,138,000 taels of silver were consumed in grain and grass, 6,421,96 taels of silver were consumed in the soldiers' salaries, and 3,730,658 taels were consumed in the pensions of the soldiers who died in the war!"

"So what?"

Jiang Yuanming held the silk in front of Liu Dashao and looked at Liu Dashao fiercely.

"If you don't return to the capital, the official will hang you at the door!"
