Chapter 0147: The General Returns Triumphantly
In front of the gate of Chang'an, the people stood in the middle of the road, looking depressed, and did not recognize their relatives from the triumphant soldiers. Some knelt on the ground and wept, and the scene suddenly went out of control, and there was no jubilation of victory and triumph, just a cry of compassion.
Emperor Ye Yunlong asked the prince to meet the civil and military officials, because the people were depressed and there was a lot of turmoil, so the emperor sent the Imperial Forest Army to maintain law and order.
Fang Jue and Chu Liuyun personally led the horses for Ouyang Jing's carriage, which was the greatest respect for Ouyang Jing.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, there is chaos at the gate of the city, it is better to let Fang Jue and Chu Liuyun come to see you." Dewey was worried about the safety of the crown prince Ye Hongyin, even if there was a royal forest army, but he could not forcibly drive the people, many of them were family members of fallen soldiers.
"I have to greet them personally, they are soldiers who have made war exploits for my Ye family, and they will double the good wine and meat to the barracks of these returning soldiers."
Ye Hongyin and hundreds of officials appeared in front of the Western Expeditionary Army returning to the city, Fang Cun was a local army, so he naturally returned to Jiangning County with the soldiers of Jiangning County, and the number of people who returned to Chang'an this time was only about 7,000, and there were half of the disabled soldiers. This is only a microcosm of this western expedition, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers remain on the battlefield forever.
Fang Jue and Chu Liuyun led the soldiers to pay homage to the crown prince Ye Hongyin, and Ye Hongyin also sincerely bowed his hand to all the soldiers and thanked them for their contributions to the Celestial Empire and the Ye family. But at this moment, a middle-aged man with a gray beard roared loudly in the crowd.
"The general returned triumphantly, crying beside the sidewalk, and still asked why he was crying, but the master never returned."
"Be bold, don't retreat quickly."
Dewey shouted at the disheveled, jug-wielding man.
"Ouyang Jing, Ouyang Jing, look at what you look like now, you sleep like a dead man, at least I can drink freely."
"Yu is uninhibited..."
Many people present didn't know the middle-aged man in front of him who looked a little down, but Prime Minister Wang Si and Luoyang King Ye Yunchang knew this person.
Yu is uninhibited, as his name suggests, and his uninhibited character has also made him what he is now. Ten years ago, he was an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and Ouyang Jing was from the same school, he was a senior brother, Ouyang Jing was a junior brother, and Yu's uninhibited talent was far better than Ouyang Jing's, but in the end, because he disdained officialdom and was not afraid of power, he was calculated by Prime Minister Wang Si, which led to his disrepute.
Ye Yunchang, the king of Luoyang, can be said to have sympathy for Yu Unruly, and once tried his best to protect Yu Unruly, but unfortunately the emperor ten years ago was jealous of Ye Yunchang, and he was even more disgusted with the talents recommended by Ye Yunchang. Yu Bujian lost interest in his career, so he went incognito and lived a life of idle clouds and wild cranes.
"The prime minister is fine."
Yu Bujian found out that the person who framed him was the current Prime Minister Wang Si, but he did not choose revenge, but chose to forget.
"This is not the unruly debauchery ten years ago, who was naked in the sea of flowers in the Qinglou and was driven out of Chang'an by the emperor." Wang Si was sarcastic for a while, he was very displeased with this Yu Unruly, and the most talented person who had competed with him for the position of prime minister was Yu Unruly in front of him.
"Thank you Prime Minister for remembering the events of the year, I haven't seen you for ten years, I am unruly but my beard is a few white, but the prime minister even has a lot of gray hair, it is really hard for the prime minister to work hard for the Celestial Empire."
"It is the glory of this prime minister to do his best for the Celestial Empire."
Wang Si heard that Yu Buru was still haunted by the events of the year, and he was a little sarcastic and sarcastic.
Ye Yunchang also stepped forward, and he didn't know how to greet Yu Buji. He knew that Yu Buru's ending was also related to the fact that he had done bad things with good intentions.
Yu Bujian just saluted Ye Yunchang respectfully, and then left with a smile. came and went in a hurry, and the Imperial Forest Army saw that this down-and-out person actually knew the king of Luoyang and the prime minister, so they didn't dare to come forward to ask for the crime.
At the end of a small episode, Fang Jue and Chu Liuyun and some meritorious generals entered Chang'an City under the leadership of the prince and hundreds of officials, surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army.
Ye Yunchang hurriedly instructed the housekeeper Xue Bao to inquire about Yu Buru's whereabouts.
The two young generals became the focus of the vast team.
Pedestrians on the side of the road pointed and pointed, the two generals were really young and handsome, and there were many women watching the excitement on the side of the road, casting admiring eyes.
In the crowd, Mu Dongge, under the protection of Liu Yuning, finally crowded to the front all the way. The crown prince and the prime minister led the way in front of the carriage, and Fang Jue and Chu Liuyun rode horses and followed slowly.
Mu Dongge saw the people he wanted to see and the people he didn't want to see at the same time. She wanted to call Chu Liuyun, but she was suddenly dumbfounded, she was still a art slave at the moment, if someone knew that she had something to do with the beautiful Chu Liuyun, it would definitely ruin Chu Liuyun's reputation.
Liu Yuning recognized that the person in front of her was Fang Jue, which was a little different from the image she had seen before, the calm and domineering young general made her unconsciously think of Wu Liao she knew, and her eyes were somewhat similar, but now Fang Jue was a little thinner and darker.
Fang Jue searched through the crowd, and two familiar faces suddenly appeared among the unfamiliar faces. He also saw Mu Dongge and Liu Yuning, Fang Jue began to be entangled in his heart, if there was no misunderstanding with the two, then they must have come to greet his triumph.
"Brother Yun..."
Prime Minister's daughter Wang Wan'er suddenly appeared in front of Chu Liuyun's horse, and several maids nervously wanted to pull Wang Wan'er away, for fear of being injured by the slowly approaching horse.
Chu Liuyun grabbed the reins, he was not surprised by Wang Wan'er's arrival, but Wang Wan'er's sudden move surprised him a little. Wang Wan'er suddenly stretched out her hand and motioned for Chu Liuyun to pull her on the horse.
Prime Minister Wang Si glanced back, but did not stop it, but the crown prince Ye Hongyin said with a smile. "The daughter of the prime minister's family is getting more and more beautiful, and Chu Liuyun is also a talented woman."
Chu Liuyun hesitated for a while, it was impossible for him to refuse Wang Wan'er in front of everyone, because his marriage to Wang Wan'er was known to everyone. He stretched out his hand and pulled Wang Wan'er onto the horse, and the two rode the same horse.
"Brother Yun, you said that you wanted to share your success and happiness with me, and at this moment I think I am the most fortunate woman." Wang Wan'er snuggled in Chu Liuyun's arms, accepting the envy of everyone, she wanted to tell the world in this bold way that Chu Liuyun already had a master. Chu Liuyun smiled deliberately and tried his best to cooperate with Wang Wan'er.
Fang Jue is also a little envious in comparison, if the woman he likes can also share happiness and sorrow with him, how good it would be.
Mu Dongge watched Chu Liuyun hug Wang Wan'er, and her heart suddenly broke to the ground. She reminded herself that it was nothing for her identity to share a man with others at the moment, she was waiting for Chu Liuyun's return, but she still felt lost and lost, and the man in front of her could not belong to her.
