The emperor's first court meeting after three days of retreat surprised everyone, and he did not give a clear attitude towards what happened in Chang'an City, but settled the matter with peace.

However, at the beginning, when Li Xuanji, the general of the Nine Gates, accused Yuan Zhao aggressively, the atmosphere was very tense for a while. Some ministers belonging to different forces are already gearing up and ready to deal with the big scene next.

In a fierce tone, Li Xuanji listed several major sins of Yuan Zhao.

“…… Yuan Zhao was outside the west gate of Chang'an, disrespecting the elders, arriving horses, and almost seriously injuring several ministers such as Tingwei. Then he made a big fuss about the camp of the Northern Army, and he recklessly killed and injured many soldiers and disappeared...... In front of the Changle Waiting Mansion, he shielded the murderer Huo Quai...... The deeds are truly abominable! If Your Majesty does not punish him harshly today, I am afraid that it will hurt the hearts of all the officers and soldiers of the Northern Army. When the time comes, if something unpredictable happens, Yuan Zhao will not be able to atone for his sins......! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor had not yet made any reaction. There were already a few people kneeling on the ground, crying inexplicably. In everyone's stunned eyes, they saw that it was none other than several ministers headed by Wei Ji, the captain of the Han Dynasty, who grabbed the ground with their heads and shouted injustice.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... The ministers ask Your Majesty to call the shots and severely punish the murderer Yuan Zhao! He actually relied on his courage to kill innocents, and the children of the ministers' families studied well in Chang'an College, but he didn't expect to suddenly suffer a catastrophe and die tragically on Changle Plateau like that......! The ministers were not angry, they heard that he had entered Chang'an, and wanted to reason with him outside the West City Gate to seek justice, but they didn't expect that this guy would commit murder again. If General Li hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid that the lives of his ministers would have been more than lucky...... Your Majesty, you are in charge of us this time! ”

The expressions of several ministers were very vivid, and the crying was very sad. Those who don't know the inside story will really feel sympathy and look sideways at the "extremely vicious" person.

Chang'an, who was at the back of the line, made Ren Kuan roll his eyes, secretly disdainful in his heart. These ministers can also be regarded as ministers of the court, but they didn't expect to act so upside down, which is indignant. It's just that his status in the court is low, and he can't be interrogated by the Son of Heaven, but he is not qualified to take the initiative to do things.

Yuan Zhao watched their performance with a calm face, with no sadness or joy on his face. In today's Hanyuan Palace, he didn't want to argue too much for himself. What should be known, the emperor must have already known. What his attitude was, he was eager to see.

Yuan Zhao's guess was not wrong at all. Although the emperor is in retreat, as long as he wants to know, he will understand it clearly in a moment.

Just before the last dynasty, Jiang Chong, a respectful new favorite minister, presented a detailed note. Simple and concise, the context is clear, and the ins and outs of several things are clearly explained. The Emperor only glanced at it, and he knew it. Although he didn't say anything at the time, the meaning of the reward for Jiang Chong in his eyes was clear.

This quiet young man is really capable! Taking advantage of the efforts of the past few hours before dawn, the emperor was naturally very satisfied with the detailed analysis of the internal situation. It seems that his vision is not wrong, with this person by his side, over time, it will become a great tool.

At this time, Jiang Chong stood quietly on the side not far from the emperor. Looking down from his position, it is clear at a glance in the Hanyuan Hall under the Nine Dragon Steps. As if sensing the emperor's gaze from behind, he stood even more straight. Isn't it just to wait for such a day when he worked hard to camp and wander in the nobleman's mansion with a humble identity?

Qingyun looked down on the ministers, and the feeling of accompanying the emperor was really very cool! When his heart was stirring, he smiled faintly when he heard the emperor start to speak. From now on, he will use his ability and wrist to stand firmly in this position, and he will repay and do whatever he wants!

"These things...... I know it all. Alas, I just want to say one word, I hope that you will focus on the overall situation! Five days later, the kings will enter Chang'an. Until then, I don't want to hear about any more people ruining the peace because of any personal vendettas...... As for the future, I will naturally distinguish rewards and punishments, and will distinguish right from wrong for you, and sort out right and wrong. Did you hear it all? ”

Prime Minister Gongsun Hong breathed a long sigh of relief and finally put his mind at ease. Since the emperor used the word "drag", it is obvious that he wants to make these contradictions a big thing and a small thing.

The emperor of the Han Dynasty, Chrysostom, said that since he said so, who would dare to refute it on the spot? And the mud is with the mud. No one wants to be put on a big hat that destroys the overall situation of stability and intent to rebel.

The meaning of the emperor's words, Wei Ji and the others also understood. Presumably, there will be a hefty bounty to compensate for their losses. Although there is some reluctance in my heart, in such a situation, it is not appropriate to be too entangled. Those grievances with Yuan Zhao will be long in the future, wait and see!

Although Li Xuanji was still a little indignant. But on second thought, there is no need to rush at this time. After the great event of the king's audience has passed, there is time to settle accounts with Yuan Zhao. He thought very clearly, after Yuan recalled Chang'an, the emperor would definitely not let him stay in the army anymore, and without the military power in hand, it would be much easier to deal with. After all, as a general of the Nine Gates, and commanding the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Northern Army battalion, the two are compared, which is stronger and which is weaker, so do you still need to ask!

As for the rest of the ministers, most of them, with the exception of some with bad intentions, were also relieved. The emperor's decision was secretly praised. When it should be decisive, it will be decisive, and when it should be delayed, the wrist of the Son of Heaven will become more and more clever!

The turmoil that was just about to stir up in Chang'an City seemed to have been easily quelled in the Hanyuan Palace. It's just that life is impermanent, the world is unpredictable, some things can't be avoided, and some people's fateful life-and-death duels will always happen.

The calm situation in Chang'an did not last long, and a day after the Great Dynasty Meeting, the sudden change in Shanglin Yuan finally triggered the conflict that had subsided for the time being, and the wind and clouds were raging, and the thunder was angry.

The emperor wants to be a good emperor who balances all parties, and the peacemaker naturally wants to do it to the end. So, out of the psychology of further resolving the conflict, the next day, many important ministers received orders from Weiyang Palace.

His Majesty the Emperor is going to hunt in the forest garden on Zhongnan Mountain, and he specially gives the ministers to accompany him, and everyone has a kind and harmonious way to go on an outing to hunt, which seems to be a very good thing.

Those who are qualified to participate are naturally considered a special grace. It has always been a very honorable thing to be able to go to the royal forest garden with Hu Sheng. Of course, those who receive the will will not be absent.

Before leaving, the emperor also specially summoned some of his courtiers in the side hall. Among them, Li Xuanji, who led a cavalry to accompany him, Han Yan, the general of the Yulin Army, Changle Hou Yuanzhao and Huo Quai, who came back from the grassland together, as well as Yan Zhu and other permanent attendants, as well as Dong Yan and Jiang Chong, these favored ministers. Later, I don't know what kind of psychology he wanted, he ordered Liu Ju, the prince who was studying in Bowangyuan, to be summoned and asked to follow him.

It is said that the prince has not seen the emperor since he returned, and after saluting and greeting, he is naturally very excited. After a brief inquiry from his father and encouragement, let him stand aside. The prince secretly glanced at Yuan Zhao, and when he saw that he was safe and sound, he finally put his mind at ease.

Although the war with the Huns is nearing the end and the overall situation will be decided, after all, it has not officially ended, and it is naturally not yet time to reward the soldiers on a large scale. However, the imperial court will carry out an unprecedentedly high-level reward, which anyone can expect. Now the whole Chang'an is talking about how many lieutenant generals and colonels will be able to be awarded the title of Marquis and Glory to the world.

Emperor Liu Che was deeply impressed by Huo Qubing a long time ago, and after the first victory against the Huns, he had already paid more attention than the norms, and he was crowned a marquis in the first battle and crowned all the generals. And the proud achievements and outstanding feats of the youngest general of the empire are enough to deserve any honor.

Therefore, the emperor gave her a special warm encouragement this time. When asked about the wounds wrapped around his body, Huo Quzhi, who had re-dressed as a general, did not say that it was injured that night, but only bowed his head and thanked him, and did not say much.

"I heard that you are still living in Yuan Zhao's mansion, although you have a special relationship, but as a powerful general of the empire, how can I be so mean? Ha ha! When I return to Chang'an this time, I have personally selected and am ready to reward you with a big mansion, which is not far from Weiyang Palace, and you will have your own residence in the future! ”

The corners of Yuan Zhao's eyes moved slightly, and there was no expression in his expression. And Huo Quzhi, who bowed his head and was silent, suddenly raised his head and said quickly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! It's just that over the years, the young general has become accustomed to following the master, and he doesn't dare to receive this heavy gift alone! ”

Although it is said tactfully, the meaning of resolute resignation is very obvious. Everyone present was a little surprised, the Son of Heaven personally gave the mansion, what kind of glory is this, and some people refuse to accept it? What a strange thing!

The expression on the emperor's face stiffened slightly, then he smiled, glanced at Yuan Zhao, and said to Huo Quzhi again.

"If I have said anything, how can I take it back...... This is my reward, and I cannot shirk it! Do you have any unspeakable reasons? ”

However, unexpectedly, the young general, whose face was a little red, did not immediately agree. However, in such a situation, it seems that it is not appropriate to still refuse. For a while, I was embarrassed, and when I peeked at Yuan Zhao for help, I saw that his face was flat and did not show the slightest expression.

At this moment, in fact, the beautiful face of her daughter wants to blurt out that she will never leave Master's side! However, reason reminded her that at this special time, she could not be so willful.

"Your Majesty, the young general is unwilling to be given, and there is no other reason."

"Oh, why is that?"

"The Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be ...... home!"
