Chapter 406: Reward and Punishment for Merit
For five hours, Emperor Liang stood on the Skylark Platform like this, his eyes never moved from the direction of Jinchuan Gate, Yun Xuan had been with him, the two of them stood on the high platform and looked into the distance, they didn't speak to each other, and the palace people in the distance didn't dare to disturb at all.
It wasn't until the sky began to blush that Emperor Liang suddenly became excited, and he pointed to the fire in the direction of Jinchuan Gate and shouted, "It's on fire!" It's on fire! Yun Xuan, you see, it must be the ships of the Xia Tang Navy Division that were burned, and the plan was successful! ”
Yun Xuan's face was slightly flushed by the glow of the sky, and she looked at Emperor Liang with a rare smile on her face. This Ninety-Five, his fifth brother has never seen him so happy since he ascended the throne, yes, I haven't seen him so happy in the past year, even if the capital counterattack won at the beginning.
Emperor Liang was almost about to dance, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and shouted at the palace people: "Immediately go to the direction of the palace gate to greet the messenger, I want to go to the Mingyuan Palace immediately to meet the heroes!" After walking away for two steps, Emperor Liang turned around and grabbed Yun Xuan's hand and said, "This time Yan Ke Ran has made a great contribution, I have to think about how to reward him!" ”
Yun Xuan made a palace salute and returned to her dormitory after seeing Emperor Liang leave, she had only been two days from hearing about Yan Ke Ran's plan to today, when he walked out of the mansion that day, Yun Xuan was anxious and worried, and now this anxiety and worry have not been reduced in the slightest because the battle has been won. Neither of them has come back yet, only when they come back can Yun Xuan be truly relieved, but at the same time, she doesn't want to see the two of them come back alive at the same time, and what happened that night is surging in Yun Xuan's mind all day long. Yun Xuan stroked her lower abdomen, and her tears rolled down again, like a jade stone that was originally full and broke into countless fragments.
Yan Keran finally came back, when he appeared in the Ming Yuan Palace in embarrassment, he had already noticed the change in the eyes of Emperor Liang and the officials looking at him, this is an extremely obvious change, as long as you have been in the court for a while, you can understand it, there is envy, jealousy, resentment, and disdain. But Yan Keran didn't care, after experiencing this round of intrigue battles, he had already understood a truth: as long as he had Emperor Liang's trust and favor, he could get everything he wanted.
Behind Yan Keran were Yang Zhong and Gu Hongxuan, and Xuan Shaoning naturally couldn't appear here. When the three of them walked up to the main hall, Emperor Liang couldn't wait to jump up directly from the dragon chair and ran to Yan Keran's side, holding his hand to express his gratitude to Yan Keran and others, to the effect that their bravery and fearlessness not only saved the capital, but also saved the people of Daliang across the country, and made great contributions.
Yan Keran recounted the whole battle in detail, especially emphasizing the results of the war: the most threatening naval division in the Lower Tang Dynasty can be said to have been almost completely wiped out in this battle, not only nearly a hundred ships were burned, but also the carefully cultivated naval division army of the Lower Tang Dynasty also lost more than half of it in this battle, even the naval division
The leaders have disappeared.
At this time, what is Huazhou's loss? This battle directly wiped out the Xia Tang Water Division, and as for the merger of states, it was only a matter of time. At this time, Yang Zhong put forward the idea of taking the opportunity to recover the state, and Emperor Liang agreed on the spot and ordered Yang Zhong to lead the Guangyuan army to go to the state immediately, and strive to recover it in a battle.
Yan Keran originally planned to go with Yang Zhong, but he was stopped by Emperor Liang, he was the concubine of the princess, and he couldn't take risks again, and at this time, there was a Guangyuan army to pursue while he was victorious, and Emperor Liang needed Yan Keran to hurry back to his house.
After returning to the mansion, Yan Keran did not change his clothes or do any washing, he walked directly into the dormitory, and when the door of the palace was opened, it was already the middle of the night. There was no candlelight in the dormitory, but fortunately, today's moonlight was exceptionally bright, and Yan Keran saw Yun Xuan sitting on the bed at a glance.
"Where's the snow ring?" This was the first question after Yun Xuan got up.
Yan Ke Ran had already expected this, he lowered his head and walked to Yun Xuan's side, held her already cold palm, and said with infinite regret: "Xuehuan is no longer there to save me." ”
A crystal tear overflowed from Yun Xuan's eyes, and she looked at Yan Keran and couldn't say anything for a while. Yan Keran looked at Yun Xuan's pitiful appearance, and immediately hugged Yun Xuan into his arms, he couldn't explain more, and he didn't want to explain more, Xuehuan was just a maid, even if she was the princess's personal maid, her life was not worth it, he had to treat Yun Xuan well now.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Yun Xuan, I promised you that you must protect the snow ring, but I didn't do it."
Yun Xuan lay on Yan Keran's shoulder, she couldn't see Yan Keran's expression, but she could know his state of mind from his sobbing. Yun Xuan stretched out her hand with difficulty and put it on Yan Keran's back, and then said: "Xuehuan is all for me, and at the same time, she is worthy of the court, she died without regrets." ”
"Yun Xuan, after experiencing this life and death separation, I understand your importance to me even more, and I just want to be by your side in the future."
"This time you have made a great contribution, the imperial brother will definitely promote you, and as an important minister of the court, you naturally have to put your family and country first."
"Yunxuan, your family and country are important, and you are equally important. In my heart, you are even more important than my family and country, you are my heart and liver, and you are my patron saint. ”
"Should I trust you?"
"Be sure to believe it! I know you've been disappointed by the Snow Ring, but I can swear I won't hurt you again! ”
Yun Xuan smiled bitterly, she let go of her hand and then touched her lower abdomen, and after hesitating for a long time, she still planned to speak, "I have something to tell you." ”
"Okay, but you wait for me!" Yan Keran let go of Yun Xuan, pointed to his body and said, "My body."
It's dirty, I'll wash up first, you wait for me here. ”
Yun Xuan watched Yan Keran leave again, she couldn't squeeze out any smile on her face anymore, she used her hand again to feel her palm that Yan Keran had held, there seemed to be his temperature still on it, and this remaining warmth was deceiving her, weaving a seemingly beautiful lie for her, but unfortunately she already knew everything.
Yang Zhong took advantage of the victory to pursue quickly enough to achieve a good result, in fact, since the ships of the Lower Tang Dynasty were burned down by a fire, the Lower Tang Dynasty army that was originally guarding the city of Bingzhou was evacuated at the first time, and not long after they walked on the front foot, Yang Zhong arrived with men and horses on the back foot, and the two armies did not fight, so it can be said that they took back the city without spending a single soldier.
This turnaround battle was fought beautifully enough, Emperor Liang was quite satisfied, and he rewarded those who had made meritorious contributions in this battle: Yan Keran was named a lock of life, Yang Zhonggong offset the original rank, and the soldiers who died in the Guangyuan Army were doubled, and those who survived were the same as Yang Zhong.
What else can Yang Zhong say about such a treatment? It's just that he looked at Yan Keran's eyes and couldn't help but be envious, the person who proposed this whole set of plans was himself, of course, Yang Zhong asked himself if there was someone else who really proposed this plan, he was just relaying it and further improving it. In the end, the real beneficiary turned out to be Yan Keran, Yang Zhong was anxious, even if he was not very comfortable, he couldn't say anything, Huazhou City was flooded, he could still get this opportunity to participate in the war thanks to Yan Keran, and he should be content to have today's merits and demerits.
Emperor Liang did not condemn Yang Zhong, but still ordered Yang Zhong to return to Huazhou to rebuild the city and be responsible for guarding the town, after all, there are still ten states in the Central Plains and ten states in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and the location of Huazhou City is still important. On the way back to the city, Yang Zhong has been reminiscing about the conversations between everyone and himself, including Emperor Liang, Yan Keran, Shen Qianji and Cai Yan, they express different contents, but their intentions can be roughly divided into two kinds: one is to win over and the other is uneven.
Yang Zhong's background in the army does not mean that he does not understand how deep the water of the imperial court is, there has always been someone whose father can still be discussed with him, but now there is no one who can discuss, and he must rely on himself every step in the future. Thinking of this, Yang Zhong couldn't help but have a name in his heart.
"Xuan Shaoning!"
"The last general will see General Yang!"
"This time the real meritorious person is you, you are the real behind-the-scenes operator, it's a pity that your identity gives you no chance to go to the palace like a horse to be rewarded."
"General, since the first day he came to Huazhou City, the last general has already clarified his intentions, and the reward is not what the last general cares about at the moment, and now the matter is over, the last general is ready to leave, and he has come to resign to the general."
"That's it? Wouldn't it be a waste of all your efforts to make your trip unclear? ”
