When the emperor's chariot finally returned to Weiyang Palace, Feng Yanzhi, the commander of Xifengwei, handed back the sword of the Son of Heaven. He and Li Dang lived up to their trust, and after rushing to Changle Yuan, they successfully stopped a bloodshed between the Black Eagle Army and the Beiying Army with their own deterrence and the majesty of the imperial order.

Emperor Liu Che breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the details. Fortunately, I was informed in time, so I didn't get things out of control. Seriously speaking, this is still thanks to the contribution of the eldest princess Suxi. He especially asked Mrs. Wei, who returned to Jianzhang Palace, to bring her own commendation for this daughter.

The emperor has made up his mind that certain people involved in this incident must be punished differently. Perhaps he didn't realize that it was his casual promise at the time that contributed to this. Maybe he was aware of it, but pretended to forget. In any case, in the eyes of the emperor, although this incident made him a little annoyed, it was also an opportunity.

The command of the battalion of the Northern Army must be completely taken into his hands. Under the protection of a large number of Yulin troops, he was ordered to enter the camp of the Northern Army, authorizing them to investigate and correct adultery and lawlessness against everyone below the general, and launched a large-scale rectification operation.

As for the Black Eagle Army on Changle Plateau, through this incident, the emperor's heart was secretly vigilant. Through this contest between Han and Hungary, the strength of the Black Eagle Army is beyond doubt. Such a powerful force, stationed in the private fiefdom of Changle Yuan, is not a long-term solution after all. He already had a certain idea in his heart, but now is naturally not the time, this problem, the emperor is going to wait for Yuan to come back, and hand it over to him for him to deal with consciously.

For Yuan Zhao, he felt a little indebted. After all, he fought in the east and west and achieved such a big victory, but something happened at home, no matter how you say it, it is unreasonable.

By now, he has long been clear about the ins and outs of the whole thing, and naturally knows the origin and mastermind of it. Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, was summoned to the palace by the emperor, and in front of the queen mother, he gave a hard lesson, and scolded him to get out of here! In the past two days, I hurried back to Jiangdu, and I was not allowed to set foot in Chang'an City again if I was not summoned in the future.

King Jiangdu was scolded for being bloody, but he didn't dare to complain in the slightest. Although he knew that the emperor was already protecting him, he didn't appreciate it in his heart. In the queen mother's defense and intercession for him, this guy instead stiffened his neck and looked like he didn't care.

"Your Majesty, since there are no outsiders here, then I don't care about those false courtesies. I think that from childhood to adulthood, you and I grew up under the knees of the Queen Mother, how about this affection, needless to say, right? Thinking that Yuanzhao Xiao'er, he is just a wild boy of unknown origin, who has been graced by His Majesty the Emperor and has come to today's status step by step. Even if he is some kind of bullshit general today, so what? Seriously, he is just a dog raised by our royal Liu family. As a courtier, even if he suffers some grievances, he must swallow it himself! Isn't there a saying that the king calls the minister to die, and the minister has to die. What's more, that kid is very arrogant, he hurt me with a knife when he didn't agree with me last time, and he still leaves a boss scar, Your Majesty! How can I swallow this breath? Hum! ”

"Shut up! If you can't swallow it, you have to swallow it! What do you know? Yuan Zhao's knowledge and learning are very important to my country, and his skills are far beyond our understanding. Hum! In major national affairs, how can we judge the thickness with personal feelings! Did You Know? How much painstaking arrangement have I made to settle this matter for you? ”

Speaking of this, the emperor walked back and forth a few steps, looked at the king of Jiangdu with a hateful face, and looked like he hated iron but not steel, and then glanced at the queen mother with a cloudy and sunny face.

"In order to suppress this matter, I have ordered the general to hurry up and decorate a luxurious mansion as a new Changle Marquis Mansion, and strive to complete it before the Northern Expeditionary Army returns to Chang'an. At the same time, while rewarding all the soldiers, I also plan to give another marquis of Feng Yuanzhao, and then he will be the one who has two marquis titles of ten thousand households, which can be said to be unprecedented in this dynasty...... What am I doing all this for? It's just to make up for the mistakes you have made. Hum! ”

The Emperor snorted coldly, sat aside, and let out a long breath. What he said was already being carried out in a hurry, in order to get everything done as soon as possible before Yuan Zhao came back, that kid was a smart man, he would naturally understand that these things were a kind of compensation for him, and it should be able to calm the anger in his heart!

In fact, in the emperor's heart, there was another careful thought that was not mentioned to anyone. Yuan Zhao's Marquis of Changle and the mansion were given to him by the late Empress Dowager Dou. It is good that the Hou Mansion burned down, just to cut off many of the old favors. It is also a symbol to give him a new and better mansion and a new title of marquis.

Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, heard that the emperor was going to give Yuan Zhao so many benefits, and he was jealous and resentful in his heart, and he wanted to say something more, but he was glared at by the queen mother and signaled him not to say more.

"Emperor, don't complain about this matter, he was also fighting for Mrs. Li's brother at first, so he made these things later. That...... After Yuan is recalled, there won't be any more trouble, right? ”

Now that the emperor knows everything, there is no need to mention those false excuses such as discovering bad intentions in the Changle Marquis Mansion. After all, the queen mother is a woman's heart, and when there was a rebellion in the Jiaofang Palace, she had seen the ruthlessness of Yuan Zhao's skills with her own eyes. I was afraid that he would be unfavorable to King Jiangdu in the future, so I asked with confidence.

"Alas! Mother, you are really true! I told you a long time ago, it's good to enjoy happiness in the palace, and don't bother to mix some things! But...... Hum! ”

The discord between their mother and son has long been no secret in the palace. Although the Queen Mother was pale from his words, she could not refute it. This time it was indeed her overstepping her authority. I had to lower my head, thinking that this emperor's son was becoming more and more cold to him, so as not to shed tears.

When the emperor heard the sobbing, his heart was a little irritated. But after all, there was still a trace of mother-son affection, he stood up, glared at Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, fiercely, and said a word as he walked out.

"The matter has come to this, and there is no other way but to bind it with kindness. I have sent the crown prince and the prime minister to represent me to go to the army to reward the army first, and then return with Yuan Zhao...... Fortunately, the dead and injured are all people in the house, I hope it will be resolved! ”

Although the Queen Mother was very sad about the cold attitude of the emperor's son, she finally relieved herself when she heard him say this. Yes, the Marquis of Changle's Mansion is just a few people who have died, and the emperor has promised him a rich reward and given him great glory. As long as Yuan Zhaoquan did not happen to this matter, he only said that the Hou Mansion was an ordinary fire, then he got what he had in his hands, which can be said to be the greatest honor for a courtier since the founding of this dynasty.

Whether it is in the hearts of the emperor, the queen mother, or the king of Jiangdu, or even many ministers in the court who already know the inside story, although no one will say it explicitly, they may all have the same thoughts. It's just a few ordinary subordinates who have died, and it is worth it to get such a rich reward from His Majesty the Emperor, no matter in which way!

The royal mansion was crowned as the marquis of two thousand households! Such an opportunity is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Although the loyal guards died for their masters, they must not regret earning such an honor, right? The master will not treat their descendants badly, such a thing...... It's the best of both worlds. This is the true thought of many people in their hearts while admiring it.

However, there are people in the world who never count human life in this way! In the world of life, no one has the right to ask another person to die for him, and no one has the right to enjoy the glory and wealth of other people's lives and blood with peace of mind! Blood debt and blood payment, life for life! But those who have grievances, there is only one way!

Darkness alternates with day, and snow covers the land. Many animals hibernate and birds may lose their way, but eagles that travel thousands of miles never fail to find their purpose.

On the bank of the Yellow River, under the banner of the hunting Han army, Yuan Zhao, who was still in Tsing Yi and tied his hair, looked at the Hai Dongqing squatting between his left arm and ate the large piece of raw meat one bite at a time, and then gently brushed the feathers for it with his hand, and whistled between his arms, the eagle had risen into the air, the wind with its wings blew off the snowflakes on its shoulders, and its vigorous posture went straight up into the air, and there was a crisp chirp, and then it made a roundabout and went straight to the direction of the return journey.

In the snowflakes flying, the three people standing behind him had solemn expressions. Such eagles were raised by Yuan Zhao on Changle Plateau, and there were only a dozen in total. The secret of using them to deliver urgent messages is known to only a few people. And this time, the people who stayed behind in Changle Plateau sent a message from thousands of miles away, and it was obvious that something extremely important and urgent had happened.

"Master...... What happened?"

Seeing that Yuan Zhao was silent staring at the direction where the eagle was far away, it was Xiaoice who was the first to be impatient. She glanced at Cui Hong, then looked at her uncle Wei Qing, and seeing that they didn't speak, she finally couldn't help but ask.

Yuan Zhao withdrew his gaze from afar, and when he turned his head, he had already made a decision in his heart.

"Something happened in Chang'an...... I need to rush back and deal with it right away! But as long as the three of you know about it. Depart tonight and return in about a day or two. During this time, the army should not let anyone know my whereabouts. ”

When the three of them heard this, they were shocked! What was the important thing that made Yuan Zhao make such a decision! This place is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, how can he catch up between coming and going?
