At the end of the first month of the third year of the Heavenly Grant, the head of the march of Wuwei Dao, Wang Xiaojie, the general of the right eagle Yangwei, the commander of the Imperial Guard, Hou Sizhi, the general of the right jade guard, and Xie Yaohuan, the superintendent of the army, led the army back to Shendu, and escorted back to the head of the Western Turks and the Tibetan culprit Ashina and Bo Lunzan blades, and the army broke through the golden horde of Ashina Warrior, and the captured booty, horses, cattle and sheep were all over the mountains, and the precious gold, silver, and jewelry were carried by mule carts, full of pits and valleys, walking all the way, and scattering all the way.

More than 20,000 Western Turkic soldiers were captured in this battle, and there were no prisoners in Tibet.

After the martial arts, the prime minister Cen Changqian, Wu Chengsi, and Su Wei led hundreds of officials and relatives to go out of the city for hundreds of miles to greet each other and comfort the victorious soldiers.

In fact, there are words in the government and the opposition to mention, this big victory, should I go to the temple to offer a prisoner gift, to comfort the ancestors, but the Tang Dynasty Zhuyu is in front, the martial arts are too prosperous, and the front can only be regarded as repelling the invasion of foreign enemies, and Taizong's killing of the Quartet cannot be compared, that is, with Gaozong's destruction of Goryeo, it cannot be compared. The matter was put on hold.

Rao is so, the DPRK or for the first big victory since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty has made a lot of effort, in order to praise the military merits, the military queen ordered the Wu clan to lead the horse for the meritorious generals, enter the city from the Changxia Gate, patrol the city for a week, to the Taichu Palace then the gate of heaven and stop, the people poured into the city, helped the old and the young, greeted each other in the middle of the road, threw silk silk to the soldiers to eat, shouted and praised the sound of the sky, the city shook.

Empress Wu personally went out of the gate of heaven, announced the reward in public, Wang Xiaojie was the duke of the county, inspected the school Xia Guanshangshu, Hou Sizhi was named the marquis, the official was promoted to the right Yuzhan Wei general, and the rest of the generals and soldiers were rewarded, Shazha Fu was promoted to Zhonglang General, Zhao Hehuan was transferred to Beiya as the general of Yulin, and Yehuli also got the general of Yulin, but he did not have any joy, after this battle, he has seen through, to fight to make meritorious contributions, or to go to the South Ya, always roll in Yulinwei, there is no big interest, if you can go to the right Yuzhan Wei, it is the best.

After the martial queen was rewarded, the imperial Tianmen Tower, and the people reviewed the victorious army together, and the royal ministers and civil and military officials accompanied them.

Although the Great Zhou won a complete victory, nearly 100,000 enemies were annihilated, but they also paid a heavy price, there were only more than 6,000 people left in the right eagle Yangwei, and 25,000 soldiers and horses of the right jade guard had been disabled, and less than 4,000 remained.

There were only more than 400 people left in the 1,000 heavy cavalry, and 60% of them were lost, and 300 of the 500 people in the fireworks army remained, with nearly half of the casualties.

"Xia Guan, which army is this?" After the right eagle guarded, the square in front of the palace gate suddenly floated a bad breath, at first warm and cold season, the cold was biting, the troops walking under the palace wall, silent and neat, but it can make people feel the solemn violent atmosphere, like a sword hidden edge, but can not hide the scorching brilliance.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is the Right Jade Guard" Lou Shide was excited, he had also been in the battle array, and naturally knew that this murderous aura was impossible to obtain without a hundred battles, and the appearance of the Right Jade Guard could be called reborn, and for a moment, he was a little nostalgic for the life of the frontier and fighting with the army.

"This army is a mourning soldier, no wonder Shen is so depressed" Empress Wu sighed, and her eyes followed the queue of the right jade guard for a long distance, "Lou Qing, the method of recruiting soldiers reported by the right jade guard during the war, you will work with the local officials and yamen and other divisions to review it comprehensively, check its advantages and disadvantages in detail, check and fill in the gaps, and plan to submit it to the public, this military merit is in the community, and it is not appropriate to wait slowly"

"The Minister's Order" Lou Shide bowed down to receive the order, his brows were slightly furrowed, and the change of the military system involved a lot, and I was afraid that there would be a lot of discord.

After the completion of the martial arts, the martial queen issued an order to give a banquet, there were already people in the province in the palace to invite the generals at all levels to Taoguang Garden, and the soldiers returned to the barracks, and they had their own imperial wine and imperial food.

Shanglinfang, Princess Yiyang's mansion.

The whole house was full of joy, the servants were running errands outside, the volume of speech was amplified a few points, and the pillars of the family came back and had confidence.

Quan Ce was brought out of the palace by Princess Qianjin and sent to Princess Yiyang's mansion, and Princess Yiyang had to thank her again and again.

Princess Qianjin hurriedly avoided it, "Your Royal Highness Yiyang, don't be so polite, I happened to enter the palace this morning to talk to the mother emperor, and the mother queen was in a good mood, so I asked me to send Da Lang back by the way, but you can't thank you once."

There is a smile on his face, and there are words of suffering in his heart.

She entered the palace to offer her face, and recommended a handsome and strong man named Liu Chengbin to enter the palace to serve in the palace, and praised and praised his utensils and kung fu.

Princess Qianjin took the opportunity to bring up the incident of Wen Changjie being denounced, crying and crying that she was framed by a traitor, and wanted to ask for a favor to be exempt from investigation and detention.

Bringing Quan Ce out of the palace was not entrusted by the Empress Wu, but she retreated to the second Yang Mo, and along the way, she openly and secretly let Quan Ce have more contact with her children.

She didn't know what to say, so Quan Ce also pretended to be confused, "Your Highness is serious, Quan Ce has heard Wen Langzhong's name for a long time, and he will definitely come to visit after these few days."

Just released from the palace, what can you do to be busy? Princess Qianjin only thinks that he is shirking, but she doesn't care very much, the right strategy is just an alternative, and Princess Taiping is her real hope.

After the greetings, the princess of the daughter offered to say goodbye, and Quan Ce hugged the fat girl Quan Luo who threw herself into his arms and bowed goodbye.

Before stepping on the wheel, I saw a long queue coming to this street, the first was a warm sedan chair, the sedan curtain was opened, it was Shangguan Wan'er, holding Huang Aya in her hand, but she came to announce the decree.

The princess was not in a hurry to leave, so she sat in the carriage and listened quietly, and after listening to a few words, a golden light flashed in front of her eyes.

“…… Quan Ce is virtuous, loyal to his ministers, serves the state, does not dare to slack off, and is deeply hopeful, giving five granges, 100 catties of gold and silver, millions of money, and 100 slaves, in order to show the righteousness of reward and punishment......"

Quan Ce bowed to the will, and he had the right to arrange to receive the gifts, Princess Yiyang invited Shangguan Wan'er to enter to serve tea, Shangguan Wan'er covered her lips and smiled, holding Princess Yiyang's hand with both hands, and bent her knees, "Your Highness has a family reunion, a big day, Wan'er will not bother, this cup of tea and write it down, Wan'er will come to drink with His Royal Highness sooner or later."

Princess Yiyang also had no intention of entertaining guests, so she sued her and sent her away, Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Quan Ce before leaving, and the meaning was long.

"Da Lang, come with my mother, I will bathe for you" Princess Yiyang's eyes were red.

"Mother, the son is already old, and if you have hibiscus," Quan Ceqiang smiled crookedly.

Princess Yiyang didn't speak, but her lips trembled, and she glared at him.

Quan Ce had no choice but to go to the bathroom with his mother, and after a while, Princess Yiyang's suppressed cry sounded inside.

Princess Qianjin watched a reward drama, her heart soured, she is the nominal daughter of the Empress Wu, the government and the opposition have always called her favored, but the rewards she has received from the palace over the years are not as good as this time.

"To show the righteousness of reward and punishment, hum, I'm afraid it's the righteousness of eccentricity to "Princess Qianjin is indignant.

took the car back to the house, went to the courtyard of the only son Wen Changjie, he was also a talent, but his body was weak, and the fat powder was thicker, he lay on the couch, and the maid rubbed his shoulders for him, and he didn't get up, and asked casually, "Mother, how is the situation?" ”

The princess of the daughter held him in her arms, but she couldn't even lie to him, "My son is not in a hurry, my mother will be able to protect you, what you want for dinner, your mother will make it for you"

Wen Changjie broke free and said indifferently, "That's fine, I have an appointment in the evening, and I won't go home" After speaking, he straightened his clothes and walked out of the door.

Princess Qianjin saw him go away, with a lonely expression on her face, raised her head and called the steward, "Go to the treasury and treasure room, take some more valuable things, and send them to Princess Taiping's mansion."
