Cao Anqing was just about to go out but was stopped by the crown prince, he glanced back and leaned over and said, "What else does Your Highness have to order?" ”

"In four or five days, Shen Leng will come back from the south, this time he should be the first to quell the rebellion, plus the merit of resisting the enemy in southern Xinjiang, so my father will reward him, I heard that my father intends to seal him as a pillar country, if it really happens, then he is the first person to seal the pillar country at the age of twenty-four or five years since the founding of Daning, not counting the founding period, and the person who is in the same position as him, think about it, Ye Jingtian and Wu Xinyu were both generals first and then promoted to the pillar country, Shen Leng is just three products, and his father treats him is indeed extraordinary."

The prince glanced at Cao Anqing: "What do you think?" ”

Cao Anqing said: "General Shen's contribution is indeed a bit big, so Jin Zhuguo can't say anything inappropriate." ”

He raised his head and looked at the crown prince and asked cautiously: "If Your Highness feels uncomfortable, the slave maid will think of a way?" ”

"Nope."

The prince smiled: "You help me arrange it, after Shen Leng comes back, I will invite him to drink alone, so I will arrange it in the welcome building as soon as possible." ”

Cao Anqing praised: "Your Highness is really good-minded, the welcome building is Ye Liuyun's territory, and the banquet there shows that His Highness is bright and upright." ”

The prince snorted: "Go, go, I have to rest, I can't take care of the second brother these days, I'm already a tiger-headed young man, I'll go to Concubine Zhen's palace to see him after a while." ”

Cao Anqing sighed slightly in his heart, the second prince Li Changye is your younger brother, isn't Shen Leng your younger brother?

Sometimes even Cao Anqing can't understand the prince, and after following the queen for too long, he was forced by the queen to remember that the prince has been staring at the throne to death, no matter who is allowed to snatch it from him, it stands to reason that such a temperament is withdrawn and selfish, and everyone is his enemy, but what is unexpected is that the prince is really good to the second prince Li Changye, it is not pretended, Cao Anqing believes in his eyes.

When the second prince was still young, the prince often ran to Concubine Yi, and he liked to tease the second prince, and then the queen died, and the prince seemed extremely powerful for a while, and his attitude towards the second prince also changed at that time, but this estrangement did not last long, and the prince ran to see the second prince from time to time, and even the next person saw that His Royal Highness the prince carried the second prince to pick apricots on the tree to eat.

Cao Anqing thought about it, the reason why the prince hated Shen Leng so much was because of the queen's long-term indoctrination, in his opinion, Shen Leng was destined to compete with him for the throne.

Now the people close to His Majesty already know that His Majesty has long understood Shen Leng's identity, but he can't show it to the world, so he is extremely good to Shen Leng, and this Shen Leng is still a competitive person, with countless military achievements, even if he is placed in the era when Daning was founded, so many young people who were as bright as stars in the sky washed the field, he should be enough to have his own place.

Cao Anqing thought that since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to be close to Shen Leng, then get close, and it just so happened that I also wanted to take a closer look at what the enemy of the elder looked like.

Four days later, Chang'an City.

The moment Shen Leng walked into the city gate, he had an urge to raise his head and shout, saying that it was home to have relatives around him, but the only place that really made Shen Leng feel at home was Chang'an.

The most important thing is that he and the tea master got married here and had their own children here, so Chang'an is home.

People welcomed by the roadside

Waving the Daning flag in their hands, the girl waved the ribbon in her hand, they hoped that those handsome and tough Daning soldiers could see themselves, the most beautiful themselves at this moment.

In the crowd, the tea master stood there with a smile but did not come, because it was not only she and the people who came to welcome Shen Lengshui's soldiers into Chang'an, but also the people from the imperial court, as well as the people sent from the Weiyang Palace.

The eunuch of the imperial study walked to the front on behalf of the boat, unfolded the holy decree in his hand and read it aloud, the people all bowed to the ground, Shen Leng and his soldiers because of the armor, so they could use the military salute instead of kneeling.

The voice of the boat was not loud, but it was very clear, and every word was clearly sent into the ears of everyone around.

"General Shen Leng, reinstate the third-rank military position, reinstate the first-class marquis, and honor the Zhuguo!"

"General Wang Gendong, Jin Jue third-class earl."

"General Wang Kuohai, Jin Cong Sipin General."

One by one, each sound made the blood of the brothers of the sailor boil, it was not only the glory of the general, but also their glory, and the most important thing was that His Majesty's will specifically mentioned that the entire patrol division, all the soldiers, in addition to the accumulated military merits, were honored and promoted into two turns.

Shen Leng put his right fist on his chest, further, and then knelt down on one knee and took the holy decree with both hands, his eyes drifted to the side of the tea master on the side of the road, which means that your old man is amazing, the tea master smiled and stretched out his thumb, and picked it up, it was nothing, but Silly Lengzi felt that it was a hint......

The army entered the city, Shen Leng was surrounded by many officials, and it was difficult to get out, and he didn't even have time to come over to say a word, Cha Ye looked around, but found that Gao Xiaoyan who came with her didn't know where to go, she hurriedly looked for it in the crowd, and then saw that while Shen Leng was talking to those adults, Gao Xiaoyan actually squeezed to Chen Ran's side, opened the cloth bag he carried, peeled an egg and handed it to Chen Ran, and said while peeling: "Eat more, eat more, Your Majesty will see you outside the Chengtian Gate for a while, maybe you will have to stand for a long time, What if you're hungry, eat another one. ”

Chen Ran's mouth was stuffed, and he said vaguely: "Don't, don't peel it anymore, I can't eat it." ”

Gao Xiaoyan took off the kettle and handed it to Chen Ran: "Drink it quickly, this is the soup I specially boiled and put it in the kettle." ”

Chen Ran hurriedly poured two mouthfuls and washed the eggs in his mouth down, smiling like a fool: "Hehe, the food you cook is so delicious." ”

Gao Xiaoyan took a sip: "Whoever boils eggs has the same taste." ”

Chen Ran said seriously: "That's nonsense, the eggs you boil are different." ”

"It's different."

"Uh...... Authentic! ”

"You mean my boiled eggs smell like chicken butts?"

Chen Ran: "......"

In the crowd, the crown prince welcomed the sailor team into the city on behalf of His Majesty, first took Shen Leng's hand and said a few polite words, and then walked to the soldiers and raised his arms and shouted, no matter how you look at it, it is a qualified prince of a country.

East Warm Pavilion.

The old dean looked at His Majesty standing at the window and couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and said in his heart, Your Majesty, you also have such a time when you can't hold your breath, the emperor heard his laughter and glanced back, and the old dean hurriedly lowered his head and pretended to have done nothing.

"I, isn't there a gaffe?"

He asked.

Lai Cheng said in a low voice beside him: "How many? ”

The emperor still heard it and glanced at him: "What several?" ”

Lai Cheng was startled, where did he dare to continue, the emperor glared, Lai Cheng said in a low voice like a mosquito flying by: "Didn't Your Majesty say that there are some masters?" The minister is just curious, Your Majesty has a few teachers ......"

Emperor: "Am I pampering you too much?" ”

Lai Cheng hurriedly lowered his head: "The minister is guilty." ”

The emperor snorted: "I'll clean you up when I go back." ”

Lai Cheng immediately shouted, "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

The emperor also felt that he really did not hold his breath, and after coming back from the window and sitting down, he explained: "I am afraid that those soldiers who are fighting for the country will be hungry and have to wait outside the Chengtian Gate...... By the way, how is the meal prepared by the forbidden army camp? ”

Yuan Shu, who was standing on the side, lowered his head and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the weight of five meat buns per person ensures that the skin is thin and the filling is large, the meat is good meat, and the oil is good oil." ”

The emperor snorted: "I can't let them wait hungry, after Shen Leng and them enter the palace, the soldiers have to stand outside the Chengtian Gate, my soldiers are distressed, five people are not too much, tell them that they must eat!" ”

Yuan Shu said: "The minister obeys the order, the minister has just gone to see it, the buns are not small, and they should be able to eat enough." ”

The emperor thought for a moment: "Go and get a few and have a look." ”

Dai Fangzhou hurriedly turned around and went out, and after a while, he came back with a tray, it was a meat bun that had been sent to Chengtianmen, the emperor broke one and looked at it, smelled it again, couldn't help but eat a bite, felt that it tasted good, and actually ate a big meat bun in one go, and then said with a smile: "That's it, not only is the portion sufficient, but the taste is also good." ”

The old dean swallowed and spat: "Is there anything else?" ”

The emperor laughed: "Put the boat on your behalf, give points, everyone will taste the taste of this bun." ”

Yuan Shu pinched a bun and walked out: "The ministers are eating while walking, the soldiers should have already arrived outside, and the ministers went to see them." ”

The Emperor shouted at him again: "I have to finish everything I said!" ”

Outside the Chengtian Gate, the team of the sailors stood neatly on the street outside the Chengtian Gate, and the brothers of the forbidden army were distributing meat buns for them, Chen Ran looked at the five big meat buns in both hands, and had to face the sincerity in the eyes of the forbidden army brother in front of him, he quickly nodded and thanked: "Thank you, brother, it's so fragrant, I can't wait to finish it now." ”

The brother of the forbidden army smiled, and continued to hand out buns to the people behind, Chen Ran looked at the five big meat buns and was worried, he didn't remember how many eggs Gao Xiaoxiang had just stuffed into his mouth, there were probably a dozen of them, and he poured a kettle of soup into them, and now his stomach is very strong, whether these five big meat buns are really fragrant whether they look at or smell, they can't eat them.

At this time, Yuan Shu, the general of the forbidden army, walked to the front of the team, stood there and looked at the soldiers, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty said that you can't let my soldiers go hungry, so the forbidden army has already prepared food for everyone, Your Majesty just asked me, what have you prepared?" I said it was a meat bun, which is what you have in your hands now, Your Majesty was not at ease, so you specially asked people to take it to see, and Your Majesty also ate one, saying that it was very fragrant, and felt that one was not enough to eat, and complained that it was less. ”

The soldiers couldn't help but laugh.

Yuan Shu said with a smile: "So Your Majesty said, I can not eat enough, but the soldiers of the Shui Division must be full, each person has five meat buns, you can't eat them all, you have to eat them!" ”

Chen Ran was so moved that he was about to cry.
