Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Gai Yan led the Eastern Expeditionary Army to return triumphantly, and when he arrived in Luoyang, he didn't even return home, and went directly to the palace to meet Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu rarely met with Gai Yan, the chief general of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and the three deputy generals of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Ma Wu, Wang Ba, and Liu Long in the main hall of the palace.

"Weichen see Your Majesty!" After the four of them entered the main hall, they knelt on the ground and bowed forward. Liu Xiu looked at the four of them, all of them were dusty, but they were full of energy, their faces were full of glory, and their eyes were bright. Liu Xiu stood up, walked down from the throne, first helped Gai Yan up, and said movingly: "Juqing."

Great work! ”

Gai Yan cannot be regarded as the first batch of veterans of the Zhutiandu Division, but before the establishment of the Zhutiandu Division, Gai Yan chose to follow Liu Xiu, and he was Liu Xiu's most hardcore subordinate, confidant, and favorite general.

Hearing Liu Xiu's words, Gai Yan's heart warmed, his eyes were hot, and he choked up and said, "Weichen...... Fortunately, he did not disgrace His Majesty's mission, but Weichen failed to capture the thief leader Liu Yong, and asked His Majesty to forgive him! ”

The battle report of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, every letter Liu Xiu has carefully read, the Eastern Expeditionary Army commanded by Gai Yan, after fighting all the way, has never suffered defeat, and Liu Yong can escape repeatedly, which is pure luck.

He smiled slightly, patted Gai Yan's shoulder, and said, "Liu Yong's foundation has been lost, and it is not a matter of worrying if he escapes." ”

As he spoke, he walked up to Ma Wu, Wang Ba, and Liu Long, helped the three of them up one after another, and said with a smile: "In this Eastern Crusade, Zizhang and Yuan Bo have made great contributions!" ”

Wang Ba and Liu Long's words are heavy, and both of them are Yuanbo, one is Wang Yuanbo, and the other is Liu Yuanbo.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise!" The three of them got up and saluted Liu Xiushen again.

Liu Xiu looked at the four generals in front of him and said with a smile: "Tonight, I will hold a banquet in the palace to wash the dust for Juqing, Zizhang, and Yuanbo, and in addition, all the officers and soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army can receive two more months' military salaries and rest for three days." ”

When Gai Yan, Ma Wu, Wang Ba, and Liu Long heard this, they all showed joy on their faces, and they all bowed to Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" "The soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army are very hard, don't look at the smooth sailing of the battle, but after this all the way down, whether it is the generals above or the soldiers below, they are gritting their teeth and persevering, and now His Majesty has rewarded two months of military salary, and can rest for three days

, which has made the hard work of the soldiers have also been rewarded.

Liu Xiu turned around and returned to the throne, took a deep breath, and said in a loud voice: "Gai Yan, Ma Wu, Wang Ba, Liu Long listen to the seal!" ”

Gai Yan's body was shocked, and they all knelt on their knees and kowtowed forward.

"Gai Yan, Ma Wu, Wang Ba, and Liu Long, were ordered to crusade against Liu Yong, won many battles, never tasted defeat, did not spare hardships, made brilliant achievements, expelled Han thieves, and the merit was in Sheji. Feng, Gai Yan was promoted to the general of Huya. ”

"Weichen thank Your Majesty Longen!" Gaiyan bowed forward again. Gaiyan's previous official position was General Huya, but now with a big character added to General Huya, it is different, from general to general.

"Feng, Ma Wu has been promoted to capture general!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Ma Wu bowed forward. Ma Wu's previous official position was Ma Du Lieutenant, one level worse than the general, and about the same as the partial general, and now Ma Wu has also become an official general, a famous general.

"Feng, Wang Ba was promoted to the general of the captivity!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Wang Ba grinned, his face full of joy, and kowtowed forward.

"Feng, Liu Long has been promoted to the rank of general of the captive!"

"Weichen thank Your Majesty Longen!" Liu Long looked excited, his voice trembled, and he kowtowed forward.

Counting the three-way expeditionary force of the Luoyang Imperial Court, the Western Expeditionary Army should be said to be the worst, the commander of the whole army, Deng Yu, instead of being rewarded, lost his title of Da Situ, and was demoted from Da Situ to the right general.

The Southern Expeditionary Army is considered not good or bad, the battle did not go well, but it did not pay too many casualties, the big Sima is still the big Sima, there is no reward and no punishment. The only one who received Liu Xiu's commendation was the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Gai Yan was promoted from general to general, Ma Wu, Liu Long, Wang Ba, the first two are all lieutenants, and the latter is a partial general, and now they have all been promoted, and they have been officially given the title of general and captured general

, the general who was captured, and the general who was captured.

The main generals and deputy generals in the army were rewarded, and they were naturally even happier in their hearts.

After Wang Ba got up, he said as if offering treasures: "Your Majesty, when the ministers return to Beijing, they will bring back all the gold, silver and jewelry in the Suiyang Palace, and now they will be placed outside the palace......"

Before he finished speaking, Ma Wu sighed and said unhappily: "That broken house in Suiyang can also be called the palace?" In the whole world, there is only one palace, that is, in Luoyang, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the others are called palaces at best. ”

After speaking, Ma Wu glared at Wang Ba again. The latter glared back at him angrily, and said loudly: "I just made a slip of the tongue for a while, Your Majesty hasn't said anything yet, why do you need to talk more?" ”

"You said that Liu Yong's residence is the palace, which is a great disrespect to Your Majesty!"

"Whether you are respectful or disrespectful to Your Majesty, it is all in your heart, how can you make a judgment with a word of loss, I think you are making trouble for nothing and sowing discord!"

These two, you and I don't give in to each other, and they quarrel again in front of Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu listens to it. He turned his eyes to look at Gaiyan on the side, who shook his head and smiled, and said helplessly: "It's usually like this. ”

Liu Long nodded beside him, indicating that Gai Yan was right.

Liu Xiu couldn't help laughing, fortunately, he only participated in the Western Expedition and the Southern Expedition, and did not participate in the Eastern Expedition, otherwise he would have to be killed by these two people all day and night.

He stood up and said as he walked out, "Let's go and see the treasures you brought back from Suiyang!" ”

As soon as they heard this, Ma Wu and Wang Ba decisively gave up arguing, followed behind Liu Xiu, and talked endlessly.

Liu Yong has been operating in Yuzhou for many years, and has looted countless gold, silver and jewelry, and there are a lot of strange gadgets.

In the square outside the main hall, there are no less than hundreds of chests. When the lid of the box is opened, the sunlight shines in, and it is really shiny, all kinds of gold and silver utensils, as well as all kinds of jewelry, large and small.

Wang Ba opened several boxes, rummaged through one of them, found a big brocade box, came to Liu Xiu, opened the lid of the brocade box, and it contained twelve Dongzhu.

These twelve pearls are not only as big as pigeon eggs, but the most strange thing is that the color of each bead is different.

Some are white, some are yellow, and some are red and black.

Wang Ba was about to tell its origin, Ma Wu took the box and said, "Your Majesty, these twelve East Pearls are treasures, it is said that Liu Yong spent a lot of money in order to get these!" ”

Liu Xiu curiously took out one of them, looked at it carefully, and sure enough, it was big and round, and the color was uniform and soft, this bead is rare in the world, and it can put these twelve beads together, which can be called priceless.

He nodded and exclaimed, "It's indeed a treasure!" "This kind of thing, even Liu Xiu has never seen it, and I have to sigh that Liu Yong's life is luxurious.

Liu Xiu put the beads in his hand back into the box, and looked at the other treasures curiously. Liu Xiu is very strange about these treasures, but he doesn't value them very much.

He looked at the box a few times in a row, and felt that the gold, silver and jewelry inside were almost the same, so he had no desire to look down.

He said to Gai Yan, Wang Ba, Ma Wu, and Liu Long: "You go back to the house to rest first, freshen up, and in the evening, come to the palace for a banquet!" ”

Gai Yan, Wang Ba, Ma Wu, and Liu Long bowed their hands together, and said in unison: "Weichen retires!" ”

Liu Xiu nodded. When the four of them left, Liu Xiu ordered the chamberlain, Xuanshaofu Zhu Kun, into the palace and put all these gold, silver and jewelry into the treasury.

Liu Xiu didn't put away the box of Dongzhu, and in addition, he chose a phoenix crown and a longevity lock from these treasures.

The phoenix crown looks very large, as if it is very heavy, but it is actually made of gold wire crochet, whether it is placed on the hand or worn on the head, people do not feel the heaviness.

The workmanship of this phoenix crown can be described as ingenious, and the phoenix, crane, flowers, etc. outlined with gold thread are all lifelike and beautiful.

The longevity lock is made of pure gold and inlaid with colorful gemstones, and the workmanship is exquisite and exquisite.

Liu Xiu ordered the chamberlain to send the phoenix crown to the Changqiu Palace and the longevity lock to Xu Xiling.

Guo Shengtong is the queen, and it is perfect to wear a phoenix crown. Xu Xiling had just given birth to Liu Xiu's eldest daughter, Liu Yiwang, and it was perfect to match the infant eldest princess with a longevity lock.

Liu Xiu is still very satisfied with the gift he chose. Guo Shengtong was overjoyed when he saw the phoenix crown sent by Liu Xiu, and called all the palace maids in the Changqiu Palace over to enjoy it together.

The value of this crown is not how much gold it costs, but its workmanship is so exquisite, I don't know what kind of skilled craftsman can create such a beautiful phoenix crown.

Just when the palace ladies were amazed, one of them suddenly spoke: "I heard that His Majesty gave the Yin nobles twelve Dongzhu. ”

The joy on Guo Shengtong's face suddenly froze, turned his head to look at the palace maid who spoke, and asked, "What twelve Dongzhu?" ”

The palace maid's body was shocked, and she hurriedly knelt on her knees and said, "The maid lost her words, please forgive the queen!" ”

"This palace is asking you, what are the twelve Dongzhu?"

The palace maid said cautiously: "The maid also listened to the waiter who sent the phoenix crown...... and then she described the box of twelve eastern pearls to Guo Shengtong vividly.

After listening to the palace maid's words, Guo Shengtong's good mood suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the phoenix crown given to him by His Majesty is probably worth it as well as giving it to Yin Lihua one of the twelve beads! Thinking of this, Guo Shengtong was still in a good mood, her face was gloomy, looking at the phoenix crown on the table, she raised her hand, and really wanted to slap it out, but she still didn't do it after all, she just waved it in annoyance

waved his hand and said, "Put the phoenix crown up!" ”

One of Guo Shengtong's confidants said to the others: "You all retreat first!" All the palace maids bowed to Guo Shengtong and withdrew from the main hall. When they left, the big palace maid named Cui'er said: "The queen doesn't have to be angry, in the eyes of the maidservant, this phoenix crown is much more valuable than the twelve eastern pearls, and it is all over the world."

Next, only the queen can wear this phoenix crown! As she spoke, Cui'er picked up the phoenix crown, gently placed it on Guo Shengtong's head, and said with a smile: "Queen, look at it, how beautiful this phoenix crown is!" ”

Cui'er's words made Guo Shengtong's mood soothe a lot. She grabbed the phoenix crown on top of her head and pointed to the side, Cui'er took the bronze mirror with brisk steps and knelt in front of Guo Shengtong.

The latter looked at the bronze mirror, not to mention, wearing a phoenix crown, her whole person looked a lot more graceful and luxurious.

She looked to the left and the right side, looking in the mirror and muttering, "This phoenix crown is just the right size, just like a craftsman tailor-made for the main palace." ”

In fact, there is a strap on the back of the phoenix crown, which can be loose or tight, and whoever wears it will be very suitable. Cui'er said with a smile: "Why is the queen so right, this phoenix crown is destined to be the queen!" ”

They are talking about the phoenix crown, but in fact they are alluding to the position of the queen. Cui'er said with a smile: "It was the queen who accompanied Your Majesty to fight the world back then, this phoenix crown, if Your Majesty doesn't give it to the queen, who else can you give it?" Her words made Guo Shengtong happy, giggled, and looked at the phoenix crown above her head, how pleasing to the eye.
