When Li Zhi's army arrived at Fanjiazhuang, the people around Fanjiazhuang were empty and gathered on the road outside the city to watch the triumphant army. Those people who had children in their families who served as soldiers saw that the army had returned to the city without losses, and they were so excited that they burst into tears. They found their sons in the marching procession, and ran with the procession, rejoicing.

At this time, the canonization of the imperial court has not yet been announced, and Li Zhi's official position is still the crown prince. However, everyone in the world knows that Li Zhi has made great contributions again, and the knighthood is only in the morning and night. The civil and military officials in Tianjin, headed by Governor Li Jizhen, knew that Li Zhi's army would arrive in Fanjiazhuang first, so they welcomed Li Zhi to Fanjiazhuang.

Li Zhixing arrived at the south gate of Fanjiazhuang and saw the civil and military officials in Tianjin. When these officials saw Li Zhi coming, they all bowed their hands to Li Zhi and shouted:

"I'm waiting to welcome Master Taifu to triumph!"

"Master Taifu has worked hard and made great achievements!"

"It's too hard, Master Fu."

Li Zhi saw Li Jizhen, the governor of Tianjin, and asked on his horse: "Governor, in the past six months since I went on the expedition, there is nothing wrong with Tianjin, right?" ”

Li Jizhen bowed his hand and said: "Lord Taifu, Tianjin has been safe and sound in the past half a year, and the people are peaceful!" ”

Li Zhi nodded, said no more, and rode into Fanjiazhuang.

Li Zhi stopped at Fanjiazhuang for a while, and then returned to the Tianjin General Military Mansion with two hundred personal guards. Tianjin's civil and military officials were like a group of followers, riding behind Li Zhi and marching towards the Tianjin Acropolis. Li Zhi was sent to the General Military Mansion, and these officials dispersed as they should have done something.

As soon as I entered the General Soldier's Mansion, I saw Cui He, who was holding his daughter and holding his son, standing behind the shadow wall, standing stupidly waiting for Li Zhi. I haven't seen him for half a year, my daughter has become a big baby, and my son Li Huan has grown a lot taller.

When Li Zhi saw Cui He, he was about to go up and pinch her face, but tears flowed down when he saw Cui He.

Li Zhi could only hug her and coaxed: "Don't cry, Cui He doesn't cry!" ”

Cui He hugged his daughter and shrunk in Li Zhi's arms, wiped his tears with Li Zhi's official robe, and said: "I said that I would come back in a few months, but I ended up fighting for more than half a year." I was worried and scared day and night. If you don't come back, I think my brother and sister won't have a father. ”

Li Zhi pinched Cui He's face and said with a smile: "Cui He doesn't cry, Cui He is now a mother, he must be responsible, and he can't cry casually." ”

Cui He stopped crying when he heard this, wiped his tears and stood up straight.

Li Zhi's son Li Huan said: "Daddy, if you take me to the next war, I will also kill the thief!" ”

Li Zhi ignored Li Huan, who was babbling, and went to the side courtyard to see his mother Zheng. Cui He hugged one and led the other, following behind Li Zhi, following in unison.

When he returned to Tianjin, Li Zhi did not rest for a few days, and the Son of Heaven sent a eunuch to deliver the holy decree and let Li Zhi enter Beijing to accept the canonization.

Since it is canonized, it is natural to be crowned an earl. Li Zhi was very happy to receive this holy decree, and rode into Beijing under the honor guard to accept the canonization.

On March 27, Li Zhi wore an official robe and stood on His Majesty outside the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City, waiting for the canonization of the Son of Heaven.

Behind Li Zhi, there were two little eunuchs holding plates, who were ready to wait to help Li Zhi get the reward items.

Before the time was punctual, the Son of Heaven came to the Emperor's Palace, and the royal gate sat down. The Chinese military officials entered the hall from the noon gate, stood on His Majesty Dan and waited, ranking below the rewarded official Li Zhi. After a while, the officials of Honglu Temple sounded the whip and sang Li Zhi's name, and Li Zhi walked into the Huangji Hall and stood in the hall.

Li Zhi entered the hall and looked up to see that the Son of Heaven was already sitting on the throne with a smile. The three sons of the Son of Heaven, the crown prince Zhu Cihong, King Yong, and King Ding, were already standing next to the throne, looking at Li Zhi curiously with their eyes.

Li Zhi looked at the crown prince Zhu Cihong, but saw the twelve-year-old Zhu Cihong smiling at himself.

Different from the usual court meeting, at this time, there are many brocade guards wearing flying fish costumes standing in the hall, and the majesty is even greater.

The officials of Honglu Temple sounded the whip again, and the hundred officials entered the Huangji Hall to witness the canonization ceremony as spectators.

When the officials stood still in the hall, the officials of Honglu Temple sang loudly: "Salute!" ”

Li Zhi and the hundred officials knelt down together and sang loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The Son of Heaven sang: "All the ministers are flat! ”

Only then did Li Zhi and Baiguan stand up.

Li Zhi just stood up, and heard the officials of Honglu Temple singing loudly: "The crown prince and the left governor of the Houjun Governor's Mansion Li Zhi stepped forward to be entitled!" ”

As soon as the officials of Honglu Temple finished saying this, the Jiaofang Division standing on the left side of the hundred officials played the "Song of Fu'an Siyi": "Little general, Da Ming Jun." Dingyuhuan, holy grace wide, palm of the country. East and West, North and South. The hand is high, the baby plate, the palace is happy. The Five Cloud Palace is even a Xiaohan, and the golden light shines on the eyes. The sound of gold water in Yugou is murmuring, and the fontanelle is viewed, and it tends to be seen. Yiluan is solemn and terrifying. My emperor Wan Shou'an, through the door, Dingyuhuan, Dingyuhuan. Palm the country, Fu Baiman, praise and dance, praise and praise, ten thousand years, Emperor Ye'an! ”

Under the envious gaze of hundreds of officials, Li Zhi took three steps forward and accepted the canonization.

A system official sang loudly: "Li Zhi, the prince of Zhenjia, defeated Dongnu and eliminated the thieves, and it is advisable to add a knight's reward, and now he will be crowned the earl of Li Zhi Xingguo, eat 1,000 stones, give an iron coupon, hereditary eternal seal, and Wangqing will inherit my life and defend the dynasty." ”

It turned out that his title name was "Xingguo Bo", Li Zhi read it silently in his heart, and felt that it sounded good.

Li Zhi should be humble according to the etiquette system, and sang loudly: "Although the minister has made some gains in the field, he really relies on the authority of the saint and does not dare to be rewarded!" ”

Zhu Youzhen, the Son of Heaven, smiled with satisfaction and said: "The southern and northern wars of Qingnan have made great contributions, and everyone in the world has seen it, so it can't be sealed!" ”

Li Zhi humbly conceded again and said: "The minister is still young, so he doesn't dare to be sealed!" ”

The Son of Heaven said with a smile: "Although Qing is young, he is familiar with military affairs and has won many battles, so he must be rewarded!" ”

After humbling twice, Li Zhicai bowed and sang: "The minister is respectfully ordered, the emperor's grace is mighty, and the minister is grateful!" ”

He Shishou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward, put on a straight face, and handed the canonized iron scroll to Li Zhi. A small eunuch behind Li Zhi walked up, and Li Zhi put the iron scroll on the tray in the eunuch's hand.

The producer sang again: "Feng Xingguo's wife Li Cui's, Kexian Neize, Shude Hanzhang, can be Mrs. Bo, his mother Li Zheng's family, a famous trainer, can be Mrs. Taibo." ”

Li Zhi thanked the emperor again.

Next, the producer sang a series of rewards: all kinds of dresses, honor guards and flags, which dazzled people. Li Zhi accepted them one by one, and put them all on the trays of the two little eunuchs, and the last two trays were piled up one foot high.

Under the envious and jealous gaze of hundreds of officials, Li Zhi finally completed the canonization ceremony and became the hereditary Xingguo Bo.
