"It turned out to be an unknown young general who came here... It's ridiculous that I thought that the Dongzhou Army would travel thousands of miles to help..."

Emperor Xia Wu lamented indignantly, and his words were full of hatred for Bian Ancheng: "Thinking that Bian Ancheng is a veteran of the former emperor, I thought that he would be like Qin Yi and Nangong Qingyu, and his heart was like the emperor's grace. If he really let him lead his troops south... At that time, he was rushing to the aid of the Yan army? Or take advantage of the power and ask me for a reward..."

Looking at Emperor Xia Wu's upset appearance, Du Ruting knelt down and asked for relief: "Your Majesty, the thief is not on the right path, God protects the emperor Wei Longyun, so that Bian Ancheng's old puppet was defeated by the hands of the Bei'an general... In this old minister had to ask for credit for the Bei'an general, although this son is young and young, and he was born in a poor and lowly business, but his son is loyal to it, in the battle report of Yecheng, Bei'an General Lin Zhongyi has been guilty of self-blame, please His Majesty to reduce his punishment, in order to show the supremacy of the emperor..."

"Is that really the case?"

Emperor Xia Wu didn't believe it for a while, just imagine, the imperial power of Great Xia is unstable, the king of Qin is proud of the west of the river, in the river, tens of thousands of lions under his hands, this is a deep-water dragon, can jump into the sky at any time, King Yan led an army of 200,000 has been killed from Jianghuai, the soldiers are strong, and also have the ambition of the dragon, two directions of coercion, in the middle of the precarious danger I am afraid to say, but the foundation shaking has become inevitable, even Prince Yong, Prince Gong and other noble veterans are doing the righteous and sanctimonious behavior, Bei'an General, this little person stationed in the barren land of northern Xinjiang has always followed the path of the emperor of heaven, not forgetting the grace of the emperor, came from thousands of miles to help, and even said his own mistakes in the credit book, such a clear and righteous person, how could Emperor Xia Wu not appreciate it?

"Message!"

After a breath, Emperor Xia Wu said in a deep voice: "The results of the battle in Yecheng are brilliant and proud, the Bei'an generals are humble and have good intentions, and the battle between the former Bei'an army and the Dongzhou army is nothing but the afterglow under the bright moon, and the punishment can be avoided!" ”

"Obey the order!" Du Ruting listened to it, and his heart was happy, knowing that Emperor Xia Wu understood the deep meaning of his coming here, and the edict was more than that, Emperor Xia Wu took a moment to rest, and gave the second reward: "Bei'an will be humbled and respected, Zeng..."

At this point, Emperor Xia Wu hesitated slightly, and then whispered Du Ruting and Zheng Qian.

"What do you know about the Bei'an General? What positions and honors did the emperor confer? ”

"Back to Your Majesty!" Zheng Qian had already stabilized his mind at this time, and said respectfully: "The first emperor once summoned the Bei'an general in Longtai during the imperial city exercise, and only gave the imperial name Beiying, and led the Bei'an general, and the actual official position was the sixth-rank Xiao cavalry captain, and the other order was to prepare for the capital government Qianniu!" ”

Hearing this, Emperor Xia Wu was stunned for a moment: "What kind of reward is this?" He gave him a royal name, but he did not have the rank of lord, and he held the rank of general, but he did not have a false name..."

Hearing Emperor Xiawu's incomprehension, Du Ruting hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is what the first emperor raised to do!" ”

"Oh?"

"Your Majesty, the first emperor was born in the army, and he is good at raising generals, which is from the general's talent, heart and righteousness, and family background, this Bei'an general Lin Zhongyi is just a pawn of the Liaoyuan army, and even the prince Qin Yi appreciated, and was punished several times to slander the neutral name to get out, and Qin Yi secretly invited the first emperor several times, and the first emperor met this person in the imperial city drill, since he raised the general, he can only be under a false name, if he is capable, just like Lin Zhongyi, he will have the opportunity to see the void on his own, and the fish leaps into the blue sky, if it is just a false talent, it is also like a false name, silently depressed... However, the first emperor had a discerning eye, Qin Yi was loyal to the country, and really planted a general seed that could grow a towering tree, at this time he showed his will with loyalty, and His Majesty established a name, and then he will become the dragon horse in front of His Majesty..."

"Well... Good... Good! ”

Emperor Xia Wu was happy, and the irritability caused by the Yanzhou war was also reduced a lot: "Since it is the secret cultivation of the former emperor and Qin Yi's general planting, this seed has become a tree, then I must pour the rain and dew to make it majestic, and pass the decree, Bei'an will conquer Yecheng, meritorious to the end, with the title of Zhongwu general, give the independent army the benefit of exercising power, and the generals and colonels under his command will be awarded the title of meritorious service, and this is admirable!" ”

But the matter is not over yet, Emperor Xia Wu finished rewarding the northern army and looked at Du Ruting and others: "The battle situation in Yanzhou is becoming more and more crisis, and I want to use Qin Yi to lead the army to the expedition and destroy the enemy on the Puyang line!" ”

"Your Majesty, why don't you wait for the Bei'an Army to come to the rescue, and then go out with Qin Shuai?"

Zheng Qian's mind paused for a moment, from the heart of this, who would have thought that Emperor Xia Wu gave him a cold look, in an instant, the cold wind only made Zheng Qian's heart tremble again, and when Du Ruting left, Zheng Qian blurted out to accompany him, and out of the palace gate, Zheng Qian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief as if he had unloaded the burden of a thousand catties on his shoulders.

Du Ruting glanced at Zheng Qian, and said: "How can the war crisis be delayed any longer, there is already an undercurrent in the middle capital, the reason why I put the Yecheng victory in front of Your Majesty is just to deter those unscrupulous Xiaoxiao, and Your Majesty also understands in his heart that he is acting with the wind, thinking that the army that has only been in the army for two years can strengthen its prestige, but it can't lean in, and really retreat from the Yan thief... Or the veteran of the first emperor Qin Yi, in the future, when you speak, use your brain, this time there is an old man who wins the battle from the side to ease His Majesty's mood, next time like this... Your Majesty is furious, but no one can save you! ”

"Thank you, Lord Du, for the point!" Zheng Qian respectfully thanked him, and Du Ruting was in a hurry.

An hour later, the edict of the reward stamped with the seal of the imperial seal was whipped by the royal flag soldiers, and the imperial dragon flag was inserted on their backs, rushing out of the central capital like a thunderstorm, and running along the Beiguan Road.

Even the Prince's Palace. Qin Yi looked at the transcript of the reward in his hand, the whole person was blank for a while, and in front of him, Qin Yuzhi said urgently: "Dad, what did the transcript say?" Is it really Brother Xiu's reward for entering the position of high general? ”

"Zhong Yi... The old man really didn't misunderstand you..."

After a long time, a sigh came out of Qin Yi's mouth, he put down the sealed book and copied it, got up and came to the front of the court: "Yu Zhi, after the old man goes on the expedition this time, you want to go to Yecheng in person and meet Zhong Yi!" ”

"Daddy... What do you mean! Qin Yuzhi was overjoyed: "The big war is imminent, the battle in Yanzhou is in danger, what will you go to Yecheng to meet Zhong Yi, and you will go on an expedition... Be a pioneer! ”

"Presumptuous!" Qin Yi screamed, and the startled Qin Yuzhi took a step back: "You listen to the old man, the old man is on the expedition... It's for the great cause of the national foundation, you go to see Zhong Yi, but after avoiding the war... It is also for the great cause of the national foundation! ”

"Dad..."Qin Yuzhi was puzzled, Qin Yi eased his mind a little, and said: "Zhong Yi can come here with the edict, this is an act of loyalty and righteousness, the old man is very pleased, and it is not in vain that the old man bothered to protect him... It's just that the water in Zhongdu is deep, and behind Zhong Yi's grace, the old man is afraid of jealousy and is making trouble in the dark, so... You have to wake up Zhong Yi and walk with him... Hold the banner of Bei'an for the old man and protect the northern frontier of Daxia! ”
