Chapter 49: Return to the Dynasty
At that time, after Qi Zhao won the battle, he naturally wanted to return to the dynasty immediately, and immediately chose to return to the dynasty, but what he didn't expect was that the emperor's attitude and actions made Qi Zhao surprised and wary.
Although everyone knows why they are in such a hurry to come back, it is that when they are in a hurry day and night, there will still be complaints in their hearts.
Qi Zhao had heard the soldiers complaining secretly more than once, and he could only comfort them and send people to try to remind them of their family, so that there was no major chaos along the way, and he soon returned to the capital.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what is there to do today?" Today is the day when Qi Zhao's class teacher returns to the court, and after such a big victory, it is natural to send someone to greet him.
Seeing that the ministers had no opinions, Xuanyuan Che straightened his clothes and planned to personally greet this young general who had won the first battle, but he didn't have any other ideas, just sincerely appreciated it.
But even if Qi Zhao was pulled up by him, he appreciated it and appreciated it, and some things had to be guarded against.
"Back to the emperor, General Qi is going to return to the dynasty in the near future, he has made such a great contribution, I don't know if he should hold a celebration banquet for him?" At this time, a minister came out to speak for Qi Zhao, but I don't know if he wanted the emperor to be suspicious of Qi Zhao, or if he really wanted to hold a celebration banquet for him.
The other ministers glanced at each other, feeling that the emperor should not be happy at this time, so they were ready to remain silent and not participate in the discussion of this topic.
"Oh, love is very reasonable, but what do you think of the others?" Emperor Yan's face was indeed not very good-looking. It's just that the purpose of those people who want to protect themselves has failed, and the emperor has thrown the problem to them, and they can't take it if they want to.
"Qi Zhao has certainly made great contributions, but he is still young and can talk about it, this celebration banquet is still too grand." Some ministers thought about it for a while before saying that it should be the safest thing to say.
"Hmph, it's just a victory, and at a young age, he doesn't know how thick the sky is, what kind of celebration banquet will he have! He is not worthy of the emperor to spend manpower and material resources for him to hold a celebration banquet! Everyone looked at the person who spoke, wasn't this person Qi Zhao's father-in-law Lu Zhicheng?
I heard that the relationship between the two of them is not very good, and it turns out that they really don't give each other any face in the court.
For a while, everyone had some plans in their hearts, and they also had a spectrum in their hearts about the attitude of the new red man General Qi beside the emperor.
"Lu Aiqing can't say that, although he is young, he has ambitions and ambitions and is worthy of encouragement, and he really won the battle this time and made great contributions, so I think this celebration banquet can still be held." Since ancient times, the emperor has not trusted those who hold military power, and when he heard Lu Zhicheng's words criticizing Qi Zhao, although he said so, he was more satisfied with Lu Zhicheng in his heart, no matter what purpose he used to criticize Qi Zhao, but this was okay with his heart.
Sure enough, after hearing his words, Lu Zhicheng became anxious, walked forward and knelt down, and said to the emperor: "Please ask the emperor to think twice, this celebration banquet is very important, and Qi Zhao can't afford the emperor's love!" ”
"Lu Aiqing quickly calmed down, young people have ideals and ambitions, they still have to be encouraged, besides, Qi Zhao has made such a great contribution, it is not appropriate not to hold a celebration banquet for him, this matter is so decided, Lu Aiqing has to say more." The emperor's temper came up as soon as he said it, and no one could change what he decided.
Lu Zhicheng had to get up indignantly, although he was still quite dissatisfied with Qi Zhao in his heart, but in the end, the emperor spoke, and he didn't say anything more.
The army that hurried day and night soon arrived in the capital, looking at the familiar city gate tower, Qi Zhao was in a trance for a while.
He had been away from the capital for many days, and when he came back, he had a feeling that things were wrong.
Although he is now a general, there are really not many people in his hands who can control it. Even when he returned to the capital, he had to send the tiger talisman in and hand it over to the emperor, and only after getting the emperor's permission could he bring the army in.
He waited quietly outside the city gate until a eunuch came over and said: "The emperor has an order, General Qi should go back quickly and resume his life." ”
He was able to lead his soldiers to turn over and dismount, and then go into the city.
When he walked to the city gate, he saw the emperor waiting at the city gate with a group of officials.
Qi Zhao immediately stepped forward quickly, knelt down and saluted the emperor.
"Minister, Qi Zhao, fortunately, I did not live up to the emperor's expectations of me, and now I have returned to the court to repay the emperor." These words were impassioned, and all the officials were a little excited to hear them.
"Qi Aiqing will be tired on the way, I will specially set up a celebration banquet in the palace, and I will treat the soldiers later!" The Emperor of Yan reached out and wanted to help him up, how dare Qi Zhao really let the emperor help him up, and after the emperor finished speaking, he got up by himself.
"Thank you, Weichen has thanked the emperor in advance, and he will definitely inform the soldiers and convey the emperor's praise to them." Although Qi Zhao didn't like this kind of scene of vanity and wrongdoing, but in front of the public, all the soldiers listened to it, and they still had to talk to the emperor about these scenes.
"Someone, proclaim." Seeing that he seemed to be quite obedient, the emperor asked the eunuch to come out to deliver the decree.
Qi Zhao was indeed blinded by his hand, and he didn't understand what the development was now, but when he heard that he was going to pass the decree, he immediately knelt down and prepared to receive the decree.
At this time, a eunuch came out with a bright yellow holy decree, pinched his shrill voice and began to read.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said that General Qi has made meritorious contributions to quelling chaos as a regular award, and now he is specially given thousands of acres of fertile land and 10,000 taels of gold, which is admired."
After reading the holy decree, the eunuch squeezed his eyebrows and hinted at him that on this occasion, of course, it was not to win money, but to see that Qi Zhao was still stunned, and wanted to urge him to hurry up and accept the decree.
"General Qi, hurry up and take the order!" Qi Zhao didn't react all the time, and the eunuch was finally impatient to wait, and on the other hand, he was afraid of the emperor's punishment, so he couldn't help but urge.
"Minister, follow the order, long live my emperor, long live!" Hearing the eunuch urging him, Qi Zhao immediately reacted and thanked him loudly.
"That's okay, since the award has been awarded, let's take it back to the palace quickly, the celebration banquet is still waiting for you, the protagonist, to arrive!" The emperor had actually been impatient to wait for such a large formation at the gate of this city. It is estimated that some people have long felt that the Qi photos that can protect them are more reliable.
A group of people entered the palace in a grand manner, and this celebration banquet was extremely lively.
The emperor also returned to the palace and changed his clothes. After all the civil and military officials arrived, they belatedly sat down in the first place and announced the official start of the celebration banquet.
