Woo~~

The solemn and solemn sound of the horn came from far and near, and the uniform tapping sound shook people's hearts, and there was a kind of arrogance and provocation in the dust, as if it could sweep everything.

The gray helmet and the red feathers on the helmet formed a sea of gray and red, and no one could remember the names of each of them, but they knew that they were the most impregnable shield of Yuanzhao.

In front of this ocean, there were two figures, one silver and one gold, they did not ride horses, and like the soldiers behind them, they walked towards the imperial city step by step.

Lu Xiao's back was broad, holding a bright long knife in his hand, and Lu Ji was holding a flag symbolizing Yuanzhao in his hand!

"God bless Yuanzhao, triumphant victory, national fortune, eternal prosperity!"

Lu Xiao shouted in a deep voice, and the voice was strong and powerful, passing over the high city wall, reaching the ears of the people who greeted him on the street, and also into the mouths of the soldiers behind him.

"God bless Yuanzhao."

All the soldiers chanted along, and the sound was like a bell, which shook people's hearts and beat faster, and it was transmitted far away, and then there was an echo.

"The fortune of the country is prosperous and eternal!"

After the last two sentences, the soldiers who walked in the front had already carried a huge horn to the city gate.

The people of the city were infected, and they all shouted slogans.

The voices inside and outside the city echoed each other, and the momentum was magnificent.

Ku Tatar was standing beside Chu Lingzhao, and when he saw this scene, his face was extremely dark.

Before, he came to Yuanzhao in the name of his relatives, in order to provoke civil strife in Yuanzhao, and to cooperate with Ku Ke Duo Li, but now that Hu Keduo was defeated, he was detained in Yuan Zhao, but it became the best witness of the other party's victory.

Lu Ji and Lu Xiao stepped forward in unison and knelt down in front of Chu Lingzhao.

"Minister Lu Xiao to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

"Minister Lu Ji to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

The two spoke in unison, their voices were strong, their waists and abdomen were strong, and their chests were sounding, and only two people spoke, but they were better than dozens of people.

Most of the injuries of the two are healed, at this moment they are wearing armor, kneeling on the ground but they are also tall and inviolable, and the countless soldiers behind them are all energetic and high-spirited, not at all like they have just experienced a tragic battle, but like an extremely sharp sword, the sword is invincible!

The officials of the DPRK and China all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, and the haze that had shrouded the DPRK and China in the past few months finally dissipated.

Yuan Zhao still has Lu Guogong and General Zhenbian here, and no matter what crisis occurs, he can survive it.

Chu Lingzhao hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Lu Xiao up, and said to Lu Ji in his mouth: "Aiqing, please get up quickly!" After speaking, he looked at Lu Xiao, his face was full of joy and sighing: "The teacher has worked this trip!" ”

Chu Lingzhao's words came from the bottom of his heart, suddenly more than 100,000 troops pressed the border, if it wasn't for Lu Xiao guarding the border pass, I am afraid that the border pass would have been lost long ago.

"Your Majesty's words are serious, and the minister just did what he did."

Lu Xiao said calmly, after nearly two months of getting off the battlefield, the anger on his body has dissipated a lot, gentle and humble.

Chu Lingzhao grabbed his hand and tightened it tightly: "With the Duke of the Kingdom here, I can rest assured!" ”

The An family has long been wiped out, and now only Lu Guogong, an old minister, is left, and with him in Beijing, it will make the court more stable.

After a few more greetings, Chu Lingzhao personally greeted Lu Xiao into the city, and the palace people shouted at the top of their voices: "Your Majesty has an order, all the soldiers are stationed outside the city, for three consecutive days, reward the three armies!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"

In the chorus of all the soldiers, Chu Lingzhao returned to the palace with hundreds of civil and military officials.

The palace has already set up a wine banquet, and the palace people hang lanterns and red silk, as festive as the New Year.

Hundreds of civil and military officials sat at the table, Lu Ji and Lu Xiao sat in the front position below, the expressions on their faces were the same, no sadness, no joy, no humiliation.

This is not only the calmness of seeing the big scenes, but also the calmness that can only be found after seeing too many lives and deaths.

The fact that they can sit here now is due to the accumulation of countless undead at the border gates.

The Queen Mother was locked up in the dormitory for several months, and tonight at the banquet, Chu Lingzhao lifted the guards, and Chu Lingxi accompanied the Queen Mother to attend the banquet, and the palace maids who served beside the Queen Mother were not ordinary palace maids.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

The palace people shouted loudly, Chu Lingxi helped the Queen Mother into the main hall, the Queen Mother was wearing a jujube red dress, and the clothes were embroidered with silver silk Feng Ling, dignified and noble, very dignified, very dignified, when Chu Lingxi helped the Queen Mother to the front of the steps, Chu Lingzhao stepped forward, helped the Queen Mother up, and sat with him.

Now the highest ranking in the palace is An Ruolan, and she was rarely released tonight, sitting on Chu Lingzhao's right.

The palace maids and the queen mother who served her were all Chu Lingzhao's henchmen.

An Ruolan subconsciously glanced at the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother didn't look at her, only looked at Lu Guogong and Lu Ji who were sitting at the bottom with cold eyes, and sneered coldly: "It's just that after a victory, the emperor will make such a big battle, and he is not afraid of the Lu family's high merit!" ”

"Queen Mother, if there is no Lord Guogong and the general of the town, I am afraid that I and you will be prisoners of the Tartars now."

Chu Lingzhao whispered, and the Queen Mother pursed her lips and didn't say anything more, and drank tea with her head bored.

After a while, everyone sat down, the palace people sounded the gong to start the banquet, Chu Lingzhao took a glass of wine and said in a deep voice: "I have succeeded to the throne for nearly four years, and I have been conscientious, not seeking no merit, but seeking no fault, but after this battle, I understand a truth, when you are an emperor, it is good to be kind to your subjects, and it is good to be good to be good to foreigners!" ”

After finishing speaking, the entire banquet hall was quiet, and everyone looked at Chu Lingzhao silently, and then looked at Ku Tatar, not understanding what he meant, isn't this to declare war with Hu Ren in public?

Although Hu Tar couldn't fully understand what Chu Lingzhao meant by that sentence, he could guess seven or eight from everyone's reactions.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

Hu Tartar asked, because of the defeat, he used the honorific title for Chu Lingzhao, and he no longer dared to despise this young emperor.

"What does the king think I mean?"

Chu Lingzhao asked rhetorically, his eyes were dark, and he sat there with a stiff face, not saying a word.

Chu Lingzhao hooked his lips slightly, stood up with a wine glass, looked at the civil and military officials, and declared word by word: "I swear by this wine today, as long as I reign for one day, I will not let Yuan Zhao have the possibility of being bullied!" In the future, those who offend me will devour it! ”

Chu Lingzhao said these words impassionedly, smashing the ground!

With that, he raised his head and drank the wine from his glass.

Everyone was still a little unable to come back to their senses, and Lu Xiao, Lu Ji, and Chu Huai'an, who were sitting at the front, had already picked up their wine glasses, raised their glasses to Chu Lingzhao, and drank them all.

"Whoever offends me will devour it!"

Devouring it, not to defeat it, not to drive it away, but if you dare to offend my Yuanzhao, I will include your territory in Yuanzhao's territory and become a part of Yuanzhao!

Everyone finally reacted, and they all raised their glasses and drank together, repeating the last sentence.

Just these seven words, it is more mellow and strong than the tribute wine drunk, which makes people's blood boil.

Su Li was arranged in the women's area this time, and after drinking this glass of wine, she saw that the women who came to the banquet today were all red-faced, their eyes were shining, and they were all aroused by the fighting spirit of the women who did not let the eyebrows be shaved.

Su Li's mood was also a little agitated, but she was not as eager as them, Su Li had seen the blood and cruelty of the battlefield, and if she could, she still didn't want war to happen.

After Chu Lingzhao finished speaking, the banquet became staggered and lively.

While eating the food, Su Li carefully looked at the clothes worn by the women around her.

The family that can enter the palace to go to the banquet is also considered to have status and status, the materials used in the clothes are not to say, but the patterns are not how to renovate, mostly embroidered exquisite animals, flowers and plants, because just after a big war, most people wear clothes are relatively plain, and the patterns are not very much, and the jewelry on the body is matched, Nuo Nuo is convenient enough.

Su Li looked at it, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she saw a woman's dress was very special, the woman was wearing a bright blue spring skirt, the skirt was layered yarn, like water waves spreading, it was very fresh and elegant, the skirt was embroidered with silver thread with piping dark lines, and under the dark lines, it was decorated with small silver ornaments, like water droplets, making the skirt more and more flexible and elegant.

The combination of hanging ornaments and skirt patterns is quite innovative, Su Li praised in her heart, her eyes moved up, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this girl is not only beautiful in clothes, but also very good-looking.

The dress girdles her waist, showing her delicate body to the fullest, she is not yet married, her black hair is only simply tied, and some hair strands fall from her sideburns, lining her earlobes white, and her face is like a peach blossom.

Her facial features are very good-looking, her skin is like cream, her almond eyes are like water, and under her tall nose bridge are plump red lips, and her lips are extremely beautiful, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.

Su Li could see it, and heard the two people at the next table get together and discuss in a whisper: "She is the only daughter of the newly appointed Jing Zhaoyin, her name is Lin Yueshuang, I heard that she is only fifteen years old, and she looks so good!" ”

"That is, it has been less than a month since the family moved to Beijing, and a matchmaker rushed to propose marriage!"

The two next to him were discussing hotly, and Su Li had already withdrawn her gaze.

Jing Zhaoyin's three words were not good words in Su Li's memory.

Su Li looked away, but the Miss Lin happened to be looking at her.

Lin Yueshuang had already determined from the maidservant girl beside her that Su Li was the famous female county lord, after all, among so many people, only Su Li was alone, and it was actually very simple to guess her identity.

Su Li didn't wear a veil when she was eating at this time, but from Lin Yueshuang's point of view, she happened to see Su Li's uninjured side face.

Su Li wore a blue spring skirt today, covered with a gown of the same color, embroidered with a cute bear on the gown, and three or two bamboos on the skirt, echoing the bear, which was quite interesting.

Su Li looked away with one hand on her cheeks, her cheeks were dyed with a faint pink by the dim candlelight, quiet and beautiful, especially her eyes, which were clear and moving, refracting the light of fine water, better than the most luxurious gems.

Didn't she say her face was hurt? Why does it still look so good?

Lin Yueshuang was suspicious, and the palace people here had already begun to reward meritorious deeds.

Lu Xiao is already a prince of the country, and his rank and honor are already above 10,000 people under one person, and there is no possibility of going up, Chu Lingzhao gave him a sword, so that he can behead the emperor and the traitorous ministers, and if necessary, he can also save people's lives.

This sword is similar to the imperial whip given by the previous emperor.

Before Lu Ji left, there was no official reinstatement, and at this time, Chu Lingzhao restored his position as the general of the town, and replaced his handsome seal with a big seal that could mobilize the world's soldiers and horses.

In addition to the Zhenbei Army, the Hussar Army, and the soldiers and horses of various state capitals, there are also the Imperial City's Protector Army and the Imperial Forest Army, which are so powerful that they are almost parallel to Chu Lingzhao.

This is the greatest trust an emperor can give.

The Queen Mother sat next to her, looking at Chu Lingzhao's eyes was no different from looking at a madman, he actually gave such a great power to a foreign surname!

Chu Lingzhao didn't care about the queen mother, in addition to the change of the handsome seal, he also ordered the Internal Affairs Office to build a separate general's mansion for Lu Ji, and the regulations of the palace were the same as those of the prince.

In this way, Lu Ji's rank status is actually higher than Chu Lingxi.

The queen is pale, but she can't stop it.

After rewarding Lu Ji, it stands to reason that he should go to Chu Huai'an, and the palace people were just about to announce the decree, Lu Ji said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to ask for." ”

"Aiqing, please speak."

"As early as seven years ago at the border, the minister and Gu's Ah Li fell in love, privately agreed for life, and then because of an accident, the minister failed to protect her, she unfortunately died, leaving only a son, and now the minister wants to beg Your Majesty, let the minister hold a secret marriage for her!"

Chu Lingzhao had heard about the matter between Lu Ji and Gu Li from Su Li's mouth before, but he didn't expect that he would make such a solemn request on such an occasion to hold a secret marriage for someone who had been dead for many years.

"The Gu family in the general's mouth, but the Gu Yunxiu family who was exiled many years ago?"

Chu Lingzhao asked, originally he wanted to announce this matter later, but since Lu Ji asked, he took the opportunity to ask.

"Back to Your Majesty, exactly!"

Chu Lingzhao didn't rush to answer Lu Ji, his eyes swept around the court, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Gu Jiong?" ”

The civil and military officials looked left and right, there was no sound, and after waiting for a while, no one answered, and everyone muttered quietly.

Chu Lingzhao was not angry, and shouted again: "Gu Ji?!" ”

Still no one answered, the palace people who announced the decree were so anxious that they were sweating profusely, who is this saint named Gu Jiong? Won't even listen to His Majesty's call?

"Back to Your Majesty, here!"

A soft female voice came, and Yue Yan pulled Hu He to the middle of the hall and knelt down for Hu He.

Hu He wore a stone blue brocade robe today, embroidered with fine gold piping dark lines, and a palm-wide white jade belt around his waist, which lined his body as tall as a pine, trimming and beautiful.

He was still wearing the silver mask, his lips pursed, and he stood in the center stunned, silently interpreting the words "Ning Bend or Bend".

Chu Lingzhao didn't speak, he glanced at Zhao Hanzhuo, Zhao Hanzhuo stood up, took out a small fold from his sleeve pocket and read it expressionlessly: "After verification by Dali Temple, twenty-two years ago, Gu Yunxiu's misjudgment was a misjudgment in the central province, the Gu family has been loyal and martyred for generations, and since Lord Gu became an official, he has judged countless cases, and his hard work is high, and his name should be recorded in the history books, and it will be remembered for centuries!" ”

"I rehabilitated Lord Gu in front of hundreds of civil and military officials today, Gu Zhi, do you want to respond?"

“……”

Hu He has no voice, if he responds, he will return to Gu Zhi's identity, become a native of Yuanzhao again, and surrender to Chu Lingzhao again.

He didn't want to respond, the Gu family died too miserably, he remembered the bloody battles along the way, and the people who knew him died one after another in front of him, the porter, the housekeeper, the maid who lit the lamp for him, the cook, the servant who poured swill, and the little servant who accompanied him.

He remembered their deaths one by one, and this kind of death was not the same as the sudden death in the barracks.

He has a deep bond with everyone.

His father and mother accompanied him the farthest, he remembered that his mother was pierced through the heart by a sword, and when he died, he was still telling him to carry his sister on his back and walk quickly, she fell to the ground, and she did not blink her eyes, and looked at them with her eyes wide open, as if she wanted to see them safe and sound.

He didn't see how his father died, but he heard his extremely sad cry: "Your Majesty, you don't see what you are dying!" ”

He knew that his father was a loyal minister, and until he died, his father didn't understand why the emperor, who had been loyal all his life, sent someone to destroy the Gu family.

The souls of the dozens of people in the Gu family still enter his dreams from time to time, crying that they died unjustly.

Since Gu Li's death, he has fallen into all kinds of bloody and terrible dreams, and he has not had a good night's sleep for many years.

In the past, he had a goal, and that was to kill Kukodo.

Now that Kukodor is dead, he doesn't know why he's still alive.

In other words, he didn't mind when he died, so he didn't want to surrender to the Enzhao royal family.

Chu Lingzhao waited patiently, and before he could respond, he added another bargaining chip: "The general on the edge of the town asked to marry the second miss of the Gu family in public, Gu Jiong, do you want to respond?" ”

These words were half tempting and half threatening, as if as long as Hu He didn't agree, Chu Lingzhao would not let Lu Ji give General Gu Li the title of wife.

This is a bit despicable, but Chu Lingzhao is the emperor, the more he is in a high position, the less likely the world he sees is black and white, because there are too many things involved behind it.

Some people may think, people are dead, what is the point of these false names?

But if people are dead, and if they can't even give this little false name, how guilty and sad should the living be?

Su Li unconsciously sat up straight and looked at Hu He seriously from the gap in the screen.

This man was like a plate of cold iron, standing stiff and straight, refusing to have the slightest twist and turn.

Yue Yan knelt beside him, a cold sweat broke out on her back, she didn't dare to raise her head, and she was even careful to breathe.

She is not Hu He's person, she doesn't have any say in this kind of thing, she is just worried, worried that he will accidentally anger Long Yan and be cut off.

Hu He is not afraid of death, Yue Yan is afraid of him death.

"Gu Jiong, I asked you again, should you?"

Chu Lingzhao asked again, it was no more than three things, this was the last chance he gave Hu He, his expression was a little colder, revealing the powerful coercion of the emperor, making people dare not look at it directly.

Everyone suddenly let out an exclamation as Hu He suddenly knelt down.

This kneeling was the same as his person, stiff and abnormal, the kneecap slammed against the bluestone floor tiles, and there was a dull sound of rigidity.

"Grass people Gu Jiong, meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!"

Gu Ji shouted with his forehead on the ground, his stiffness and hoarseness were extremely heavy, and he was so heavy that people couldn't breathe.

He pressed dozens of lives of the Gu family on his shoulders, and pressed Gu Li, who died tragically, so many lives made him unable to live easily, but he couldn't break free from the quagmire of Yuanzhao.

In any case, Yuanzhao is their homeland.

He knelt down for them, helped them correct their names, helped them clear their grievances, and helped them remember the blood feud of the year.

The dead should be freed, and his sins will be borne by him alone.

These ladies didn't know Gu Jiong, and they hadn't seen his face through the mask, but the moment he knelt down, their eyes turned red, and they inexplicably felt the heavy weight of this kneeling.

Others didn't pay attention, only Su Li could see clearly, and the moment Hu He knelt down, Yue Yan grabbed his trouser leg very slightly.

There was no force, but it bent the hard iron plate.

Who said...... He's cold-blooded and ruthless?

Hu He's kneeling made many people present breathe a sigh of relief.

Just kneel.

Kneeled...... That's it!

Chu Lingzhao's eyes were also a little sore, he snatched the holy decree from the hands of the palace people who announced the decree, and read it out in person: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, the former Dali Temple Shaoqing Gu Yunxiu and the Gu family are full of fifty-seven people The crime is an unjust, false and wrongful case, and now Gu Yunxiu is posthumously awarded the iron-faced divine sentence, the second-grade minister, his wife is the third-grade wife, and his son Gu Zhi, inheriting his father's will, is the deputy secretary of Dali Temple, and the second daughter Gu Li, who is in love with the general Lu Ji on the side of the town, and posthumously crowns the general's wife, as the second-grade lady of the command!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"

Lu Ji shouted thanks, and Su Li heard an almost imperceptible tremor in his voice.

After waiting for nearly six years, finally waiting for this moment, Su Li can understand how excited he is in his heart now.

The ladies next to them all held handkerchiefs and wiped away their tears silently, they had never seen Gu Li, and they didn't know how beautiful the relationship between Gu Li and Lu Ji was, just because of his affectionate dedication was enough to move him so far.

Su Li raised her hand and poured a glass of wine and drank it, and silently blessed her heart when the mellow wine crossed her throat.

Congratulations to the general for getting his wish!

He has been obsessed with it for many years, and she should fulfill her wish, but she deserves to be entrusted to no one, and she ended up in a fantasy, and even wrote a marriage letter and was tricked.

Su Li didn't know if she was jealous or angry with Chu Huai'an, she always felt that everyone else had a wish for her meritorious deeds tonight, but she was the only one, and she was busy for a long time, except for an injury, she didn't catch anything.

"Your Majesty, the grass people have no other objections, only ask Your Majesty to withdraw the appointment of the grass people!"

Hu He just excused himself, and he didn't even find an excuse.

Baiguan looked at Chu Lingzhao, Chu Lingzhao closed the holy decree and handed it to the palace people next to him, and said in a deep voice: "Since the Gu family has been rehabilitated, the Gu family's mansion should be rebuilt, and I will keep this appointment for you, and on the day the Gu family's mansion is completed, if you still don't want to change your mind, I will take back my life!" ”

Chu Lingzhao took a step back, he really wanted to subdue Hu He, and Hu He didn't show too much toughness here, so that the king of a country couldn't come to power.

"Grass people Gu Jiong, thank you Lord Longen!"

At this point, there is no more Hu He in the world, the word Gu Jiong, see the light again!

Everyone sighed, and the few people who sat next to Hu He waited for him to go back, and then hurriedly raised their wine glasses to congratulate him, but Gu Ji didn't react coldly, and didn't feel anything to be happy about.

Everyone had already seen him, and even Chu Lingzhao's face dared to shake it, and they didn't feel anything, they congratulated themselves and drank again.

At the end of this round of rewards, the palace people skipped Chu Huai'an and read Su Li's name first.

"Su Shi Ali, come forward to listen to the order and be sealed!"

After the words fell, Su Li got up with her skirt and slowly walked to the center of the hall.
