The triumphal ceremony began in the morning near noon, Song Yingchang and Xiao Ruxun led the army to advance slowly, stopping at a place ten miles from the city of Beijing, where the emperor and the hundred officials prepared the place for the triumphal ceremony, the army stopped at the periphery, and the commander and the main generals stepped forward to meet the emperor.

When he saw Zhu Yijun again after a few months, Xiao Ruxun suddenly found that Zhu Yijun seemed to have aged a lot, not only did he not look very energetic, but it seemed that the whole person had lost the sharpness that he had when he met secretly at night, and the sharpness that belonged to the young emperor could not be found in Zhu Yijun's body at all, Xiao Ruxun knew that this was probably the blow brought to him by the merger of the three kings, but if it was just like this, it would not make him so lost, right?

Zhu Yijun in memory should not be a person who admits defeat so easily.

The palace coup that did not take place was ended by the Empress Dowager Li, and then pressed, this secret will never be known, so Xiao Ruxun did not know that he was only one step away from success and death, and Daming was only one step away from war and disintegration.

Having said that, there should still be etiquette, the officials of the Ministry of Rites sang loudly, Song Yingchang and Xiao Ruxun and the others will salute the emperor according to the traditional etiquette, hand in the report of the victory, hand over the seal letter of the commander and the chief general and the right to command the troops, and return this power to the emperor, so that their mission will come to an end and the glory will end.

Zhu Yijun looked at the high-spirited Xiao Ruxun, and he didn't know what it was like, he wanted to tell Xiao Ruxun about his previous plans, and even wanted to pull Xiao Ruxun to have another palace coup, but he knew very well that Wang Xijue, who was standing beside him, would not give him this opportunity.

He, the emperor, is only one step away from the nominal emperor.

The return ceremony is the first ceremony, and after the end, it is the second step, which is to sacrifice the Taimiao, and the prisoners of war are presented to the emperor, who announces the death and life of these prisoners of war.

If it were ordinary prisoners of war, the Central Plains Emperor would pardon them, reward them with gifts, and then put them under house arrest, but for these Japanese prisoners of war, because the memory brought to the Ming Dynasty decades ago was too profound, it was impossible to pardon them, and they were greeted only with death.

"Sacrifice prisoners of war with a great army!"

The officials of the Ministry of Rites sang loudly, Zhu Yijun sat on the throne, put on a majestic appearance, looked at the sixteen high-ranking prisoners of war of the Japanese army and the thirty-eight first-class prisoners of war, and felt a little more relieved for no reason - although there was no majesty in front of these civilian officials, but in the eyes of these Japanese who were beaten down by the army, he was still the supreme Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and only at this time, Zhu Yijun could still feel the majesty of the emperor.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's head has long been sent to the temple to be sacrificed, as the "regent" of the Wa State who initiated the war, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's status needless to say, it is also because of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death that the Japanese civil strife and the division of the East and the West, for the achievement of this strategic goal, Zhu Yijun is also very amazed at Xiao Ruxun's strategic vision and practical ability, which can pit the Wa Kingdom to this point, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

More than 50 Japanese prisoners were taken prisoner this time, Zhu Yijun also knew their status in Japan, and Zhu Yijun also understood the situation in Japan clearly through Xiao Ruxun's twists and turns, knowing that Japan is currently similar to the Western Zhou Dynasty-style feudal system rather than the county system, the so-called daimyo is the same as the princes of small countries in the gruel period, the emperor of Japan is equivalent to the son of Zhou Tianzi, and the situation is even worse, equivalent to the son of heaven in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi is the overlord.

These captive guys are on the battlefield with 10,000 or 20,000 troops and other positions, and from an administrative point of view, they are also the owners of a large piece of land, and they hold military administrative positions, and their status is very high, at least much higher than that of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, so this group of people is definitely the elite of the Japanese elite.

Then such a capture makes a lot of sense.

Looking at Qi Shushu, the captive who was kneeling on the ground in a white cloak, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing honestly, Zhu Yijun stood up very proudly.

"You and other islands, the people of the outside, the state of a small country, have the ambition to offend the Celestial Empire, it is very hateful, the great tomorrow soldiers are coming, you are tied up and captured, in just three months, 100,000 soldiers and horses are wiped out, what dare you have to invade the Ming Dynasty? Isn't it a frog at the bottom of the well, and a night lang arrogant act? Amusing! Lamentable!

The Great Tomorrow Dynasty is the upper country, the state of etiquette, ruling the world with benevolence and filial piety, and should have pardoned you and other guilty people, but thirty years ago, the southeastern provinces of the Ming Dynasty were ruined by the miserable creatures of Er and others, and it was unbearable to see. I can't ignore the dead people indifferently, so I beheaded the dogs, passed on the first day to the world, and promulgated the edict of the four seas to tell the world that the chaos has been peaceful! ”

Zhu Yijun's words were subdued and full of pride, and he didn't know that he thought this was a horse god king.

Of course, even if they knew that it was not, it would not prevent the ministers from giving Zhu Yijun face and patting Zhu Yijun's ass, and the ministers and generals bowed down together and shouted: "My emperor is mighty." ”

Zhu Yijun's vanity was greatly satisfied, he laughed for a while, and with a wave of his hand, there were executioners who had been prepared long ago to pull these people away one by one, behead them in a place where the monarch and ministers could not see, and then bring the head to show everyone, and then it was to be preserved with lime, passed on to the world, and announced to all the people of the Ming Dynasty that the war that had plagued the Ming Dynasty for decades had been completely quelled.

After Zhu Yijun satisfied the desire to pretend to be forced, it was time for the generals to be welfare, and the rewards that everyone was looking forward to should be sent out.

Is it a promotion or a knighthood? Who knows?

An edict was picked up by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the eyes of the generals stared directly at the edict, they knew that their reward was on the edict, and what reward they could get depends on this trembling.

In order of status, the first one must be Song Yingchang.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites read the edict aloud, and after the nonsense of the country and the people, it was finally time to see the real chapter.

"The left squire of the military department, the general manager of the preparation of the war, Song Yingchang led the troops in a good way, the imperial soldiers have a way, the food and clothing used by the army are readily available, there is no omission, the merit is great, the edict is promoted to the criminal department of Shangshu, Keri took office, rewarded 5,000 gold, 30,000 silver, 3,000 acres of fertile land, a number of silk and satin, Qin this."

Song Yingchang was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that his operation had worked, he glanced at Xiao Ruxun without a trace, and Xiao Ruxun also nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

"Minister Song Yingchang thanked my emperor for his grace!"

Song Yingchang received the order and thanked him.

"Ningxia Chief Military Officer and Admiral Jiliao, Baoding, Shandong and other places to defend the sea and the imperial Japanese general military officer, Pingyu Bo Xiao Ruxun led the troops in a good way, with soldiers like a god, sent troops to January to restore the three capitals, sent troops to annihilate 100,000 Japanese in February, sent troops to cross the sea in March, took the head of the thief Toyotomi Hideyoshi such as probing the bag to take things, rebuild Korea, raise my Ming prestige and the four seas, great merit, Ling Jin Jue Pingyu Marquis, Zhao appointed as the commander of Yunnan Guangxi and other places Pingnan Chief Military Officer, reward 4,000 gold, 20,000 silver, 2,000 acres of fertile land, a number of silk and satin, Qin this!"
