"His Royal Highness King Yu led the army to destroy Donghu in one fell swoop!"

"But no, I heard that the iron cavalry of the three armies was like a bamboo, and they defeated the Donghu army in just a few days, forcing Donghu to commit suicide!"

"His Royal Highness King Yu is really the god of war!"

"Hehe, don't chew your tongue when you're on duty!"

"That's it, that's it, look, Captain Yan is here!"

Yan Keran, as the captain of the Imperial Forest Guard, can be equipped with a third-class Dai Ling armor, a turquoise belt tied up in an ink-colored bun, and his chic facial features and heroic posture make him always provoke the palace maids to peek a few times when he walks in the palace, while the guards are afraid of his seriousness.

Although there are a few steps away, Yan Ke Ran has already heard the conversation of several guards on duty, the forbidden palace is not allowed to talk is the law of the Imperial Forest Guard, if it is placed on weekdays, it should be punished, but today Yan Ke Ran did not hear it at all, the victory of exterminating Hu has been spread all over the capital a few days ago, and the hundred officials and people in the city all cheered for this victory, Yan Ke Ran naturally did not want to be too careful at this time, he took ten guards through the front hall and came to the lark platform, this is the dividing point between the front hall and the harem, Even the guards are not allowed to cross the Skylark Terrace.

Bar, a paper kite fell down not far from the Imperial Forest Guard, Yan Keran followed the paper kite and saw that several women were running in his direction, running closer, Yan Keran could see clearly: a woman in purple clothes in front of her was holding the hand of a goose-yellow woman, and they were followed by two maids, as the son of Jing Zhaoyin, Yan Keran naturally knew that the person who came was the concubine of the Holy Family Zhenglong and the princess Yunxuan, the pearl of Emperor Liang.

"Imperial Forest Guardian Ke Ran see Her Royal Highness the Princess, see Lady Yingren!"

"Get up, Captain Yan!" Yingshuren said a little breathlessly: "We are putting paper kites, how do we know that the wind has changed direction and the paper kite is blowing here, and it will hurt us all the way to chase it." ”

"The last general has thanked Her Royal Highness the Princess, and thanked the lady Yingren!" As soon as Yan Keran got up, he immediately turned his head to pick up the paper kite and respectfully presented it, Yun Xuan took the paper kite and said gratefully: "Thank you, Captain Yan." ”

At this time, Yun Xuan combed her hanging bun and was dotted with two peach blossom hairpins, her face was extremely ruddy because of running, and her big eyes were clear and deep, and she could see that Ke Ran was a little overwhelmed, "The princess is serious!" ”

"I wonder if you have delayed Captain Yan's duty?"

"No, the last general is about to change shifts, so there is no delay."

"Captain Yan is the son of Lord Yin Yan of Jingzhao, and he studied under Qingshan Academy, and the palace also heard His Majesty praise Captain Yan from time to time in the harem!" Yingshuren took the paper kite from Yun Xuan's hand and began to praise.

"Don't dare to be, thanks to the love of Your Majesty and Niangniang, I will do my best to persuade him!"

"Captain Yan must not be too modest, since it has been said here, the princess happens to have something, and she is also rejoicing in the victory of the Great Liang, and when she meets Captain Yan, she will ask more if she is coincidental!" Concubine Ying glanced at Yunxuan, and the latter understood, "Yes, my fourth brother won the battle, I don't know when I will return to Beijing?" ”

"Returning to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the last general heard that the army had set off half a month ago, and it should be possible to return to Beijing in three days."

"This big victory, the father must reward the bloody warriors!" Yun Xuan paused and asked, "Are there any classmates of Captain Yan in this army?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, there are a few people, and they have all made meritorious contributions this time."

"Is there the person who was received by my father on his father's birthday last time?" Yun Xuan was so anxious that she forgot the steps instructed by Yingshuren for a while and blurted out directly, which surprised Yan Keran, but without waiting for him to think about it, Yun Xuan continued to ask: "This palace has always admired Qingshan Academy, and the disciples of Qingshan Academy must be outstanding whether they are in the army or in the army, just like Captain Yan, and since that man can be received by his father, he will definitely fight for the country with all his might, I don't know how he can behave this time?" ”

"That person's name is Xuan Shaoning, he is indeed the last general's classmate, the last general has always been associated with him, and he is even more heroic when he hears that he is extremely brave in this battle to destroy Hu, and has made great military achievements for the elimination of Hu!"

Hearing this, Yun Xuan clasped her hands under her chin, unable to hide her happiness, looking like a girl with a spring in her heart, unpretentious, and the natural and simple emotional exposure made Yan Keran look a little stupid for a while, he could feel the beating of his heart, which was a feeling he had never felt for many years.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, it's not too early, it's time to go back to the palace." Concubine Ying interjected at the right time, interrupting Yun Xuan's thoughts and Yan Keran's reverie.

"The last general will send Her Royal Highness the princess and lady Yingren!"

Seeing the two of them gradually drift away, Yan Keran's eyes did not blink, and a unique feeling that he had never felt in nineteen years spread throughout his body, an indescribable strange and unstoppable feeling.

Four days of time in Princess Yunxuan fingers passed, this day is the day when King Yu led the three armies back to Beijing, Yun Xuan can not be present at the scene can only run to the Skylark Terrace on tiptoe, stretch out the neck to look at the front hall area, but unfortunately even the highest part of the harem Skylark Terrace is still covered by layers of glazed tiles, the only thing worth thanking is that the ears can hear the majestic and mighty sound of dance and music.

What Princess Yunxuan can't see is that from the main gate of the palace, the Qingxuan Gate, the royal forest guards are lined up left and right, and the red carpet extends to the steps of the Chengyuan Palace, hundreds of palace tricks are playing outside the Chengyuan Palace, and Emperor Liang is waiting for the triumph of the army with Jingjia and several princes, civil and military officials, and hundreds of officials in brocade clothes, except for the lack of the prince.

Emperor Liang was pierced by the golden dragon dragon, wearing twelve crowns, his posture was upright, heroic, and he looked towards the palace gate with great interest, although he had been waiting for a stick of incense, but his body did not feel tired at all, and his eyes were hot as if looking forward to the lover in his heart.

King Yu strode first, followed by Yang Zhong and Shen Yongnian, and behind them were He Yunke, Lu Wenxuan, Feng Chu, Gu Hongxuan, and Jiang Xiaoyu. According to the official system of the Great Liang, only the generals of the fifth rank and above are eligible to enter the main hall, and the rest of the generals can only wait in the square outside the imperial city.

"See your father, see your concubine!"

"The last general will see Your Majesty, see the noble concubine!"

Although there were only a few generals behind King Yu, the shouting was full of breath and majestic, Emperor Liang walked a few steps quickly to help King Yu who was kneeling on the ground, and looked at this son who had neglected him for a long time with love. "But where is the injury? Let me see! Holding King Yu's hand and circling around, he said happily: "You're fine!" Yun Qi, this time you have made a great contribution again! ”

King Yu took a half step back a little uncomfortably, and replied respectfully: "Leading the army to fight is the responsibility of the ministers, and I dare not take credit alone, this victory is the blood of the whole army!" ”

"You, your temperament is so calm and indifferent, you love soldiers like children, I appreciate it!" Emperor Liang was not surprised by King Yu's answer at all. "In the battle to exterminate Hu, the three armies have made outstanding achievements, and I will reward the whole army! Since the regulation has been promoted by two levels, the rewards for meritorious deeds will be determined according to the table of King Yu, and there is no need to hand it over to me directly through the military department! ”

According to the Liang military system, the military merits of the soldiers are calculated by beheading the enemy, and the military merits of the army are accumulated by the military merits under the command, and each time is counted as a level, and those who have outstanding contributions are nominated by the chief general and submitted to the Ministry of War for consideration, and then handed over to the prime minister for decision, and finally approved by Emperor Liang. Today, Emperor Liang directly promoted the military merits of all the soldiers across the ranks, and it was not that there was no precedent in the previous dynasty when he encountered a big victory, but this latter words set a precedent since the founding of the Liang Dynasty, and all the military merits of the three armies were reviewed by the main general, and they did not need to be directly presented to the emperor by the Ministry of War and the Prime Minister, this glory is unprecedented!

"Father!"

"I know what you're going to say." Emperor Liang said softly, and at the same time, he retracted his smile and stood up to the hundred officials in the Quartet and said: "I don't need to say it again if I think the meaning of killing Hu is not necessary, the merits of King Yu can be written into the history of the country, how tragic this battle is, 200,000 troops went forward, and only 60,000 returned!" Speaking of this, Emperor Liang seemed to be choking back tears, and his speech was a little choked, "The killing of Hu was bought by these 200,000 good men of my Liang who threw their heads and spilled blood!" I just want the people of the world to know that I will never treat my sons and daughters who really sacrificed for my great beam! Generously speaking, his tone was high, and Emperor Liang's face was flushed.

As soon as the words fell, before everyone could come back to their senses, Cai Quan stepped out of the queue first, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty Shengming!" The old minister died in battle, my big Liang man, thank you, Lord Longen! This shout completely woke up everyone present, King Xiang and King Ling followed suit, and soon the officials were afraid of falling behind and followed suit, and for a time no one objected, which greatly surprised King Yu, and Emperor Liang glanced at Cai Xiang with great appreciation, and then said warmly: "King Yu, don't let me and the whole army live up!" King Yu replied firmly and loudly: "Erchen will not be dishonored!" ”

"Okay, here's someone!" Emperor Liang announced: "Ziyu King Yunqi, go to the battlefield in person, command Ruoding, destroy Hu in one fell swoop, and achieve the immortal feats of this dynasty, I am determined to award five imperial pearls!" ”

This accident one after another, King Yu has not fully recovered from the previous shock, and a new reward has come: all the princes of the Liang Dynasty except for the crown prince are divided into two grades - the prince of the county and the prince, and as a high-ranking prince, the number of imperial beads is determined by the number of pearls, three beads, five beads and seven beads, in the Liang Emperor's dynasty, only King Xiang was the prince of five beads.

Hearing this reward, King Xiang and Concubine Jingjia's faces turned blue for a while, and King Yu was even more stunned on the spot, and Emperor Liang repeatedly tolerated "Yun Qi, should be grateful", King Yu only knelt down three times again, Emperor Liang helped up this son, and personally hung the five South Night Pearls strung up by gold silk and embellished with waiting jade on the neck of King Yu, and the sunlight poured on the surface of the South Night Pearls, reflecting the colorful light, which was extremely dazzling in the eyes of King Xiang.

"Erchen....... The son thanked his father! ”

"Yun Qi, your mother has served me for many years, and she has not been able to be promoted, the mother is precious by her son, and today I canonized Du Fu as a virtuous concubine!"

Before King Yu could thank him again, "This is not enough for my reward for you!" Emperor Liang smiled mysteriously and commanded: "The celebration ceremony is just the beginning!" ”

"The celebration ceremony begins!"

"The celebration ceremony begins!"

"The celebration ceremony begins!"

........

One by one, the voice of Chuanmenlang spread from Chengyuan Palace to Qingxuanmen Square in the imperial city, and in the faint expectation of all the low-level military generals, an attendant walked out of the palace with yellow silk in his hand, and announced loudly with a joyful face: "Spread Your Majesty's holy message: The three armies worked tirelessly, went to Donghu to fight bloodily, exterminated Donghu, opened up the territory, and made outstanding military achievements, and all soldiers were promoted according to their ranks!" ”

As soon as the words landed, all the generals immediately boiled, knelt down and thanked the emperor in unison, all with a happy smile, this is an honor that has never been seen in this dynasty, and it is the glory that every soldier dreams of!

As the music in the palace began to faintly come out, the chamberlain announced, "Generals, please come back!" ”

Just as Xuan Shaoning was leaving Qingxuanmen, a call stopped him, and when he turned around, it was Yan Ke Ran, the captain of the Imperial Forest Guard.

"Shaoning, I have been on duty on the side just now, I have seen you a long time ago, I couldn't help but not greet you, I have no scruples now. Shaoning, congratulations! Skipping promotion is the first case in this dynasty! ”

"This is what 160,000 brothers paid for with their lives!" Xuan Shaoning couldn't say that he was unhappy in his heart, but he always had an unspeakable guilt, and he was the one who survived.

Although Yan Keran has not experienced the military formation, he understands the state of mind of his classmates in front of him very much, "I can understand, especially when those brothers who are fighting side by side fall beside them, that kind of helplessness is really difficult for ordinary people to understand." However, their sacrifices are worth it, you don't have to deserve it, I have heard that you fought bravely and strategically, broke through the urn city, and took the lead in rushing into the inner city, you can be an example for my Liang boy! ”

"Ke Ran ......."

"Okay, when the conferral is over, I'll get together later!" Yan Keran smiled a little mysteriously, "Come to my house at that time, my father and mother just want to meet you!" ”

"This ........"

"You can't refuse me, but I made a 'military order' in front of my father!"

Xuan Shaoning was helpless, smiled and nodded.
