"Ah, it's Lao Dong who is back, how is it, how is the errand?"

The group of people and horses, starting with the dragoon surnamed Dong, Bi Shuilian rode a horse and followed him, her expression was still a little sad, but it was obvious that her attention was gradually attracted by the capital of the Great Qi Empire.

Compared with the original Beijing city at the end of the Ming Dynasty, this Forbidden City added a real royal majesty after the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty.

The buildings here are the crystallization of the treasures and wisdom condensed in China for thousands of years, and the soldiers who pass back and forth, everyone is full of spirit, and they will greet each other when they see each other.

Not long ago, under the holy decree of Emperor Zhangwu of the Great Qi, the city of Beijing began to expand, more than 1,000 craftsmen started construction, under the field investigation of several skilled old craftsmen, the original Ming Dynasty of Beijing City expanded outward a circle, becoming the capital of today's Great Qi.

It is expected that once the completion of this new Beijing city, it will be the largest in the world in terms of population and prosperity.

The dragon rider surnamed Dong nodded, but sighed when he heard this, "Don't mention it, it's too slow, and when you arrive, the two old gentlemen are already ......."

The latter words are naturally self-evident, and the sentry officer of the forbidden army standing in front of the gate of the Forbidden City also understood, his expression darkened, but the next moment he pretended to smile and looked to the side, and said:

"This is Mr. Bi's daughter, right?"

"Little girl Bi Shuilian, see the general." Bi Shuilian came back to her senses and said with some embarrassment: "The little woman is just a people's woman, and she asks the general to take back her life." ”

Hearing this, the sentry officer of the forbidden army laughed and said:

"Then please take back the word general together, I'm just a small sentry, this capital city, there are countless titles higher than mine." As he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers of the Forbidden Army behind him to get out of the way, and then turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.

"The emperor has been waiting for a long time, please come in."

The soldiers of the Shexian Guard Battalion, who followed the dragon rider surnamed Dong to transport several large boxes of items, came to the capital for the first time, let alone entered the Forbidden City.

By the way, the Chengtianmen of the Forbidden City is no longer the Chengtianmen of the past, as early as when Wang Zheng first stepped into the Forbidden City, he had already changed the plaque - "Qitianmen", representing the status of the Great Qi Empire and the sky.

On both sides of the road, there were soldiers of the Great Qi Praetorian Guard in gray-black armor, all wearing powerful cloud-winged helmets, holding steel axes and guns tightly in their hands, and the murderous aura emitted made people dare not look at them head-on.

When the soldiers of the guard camp walked through the Yongdao, they couldn't believe that these soldiers of the forbidden army had all gone up from their own positions, and even many of them had joined the army early, all of them had reached their current status bit by bit by virtue of their military merits, and they were simply the elite of the elite.

Seeing these soldiers of the forbidden army, the soldiers of the guard camp from She County were full of respect at the same time, they were also excited, these are their own examples, they can do it, why can't they.

For example, if it is not completely pacified today, there are military merits waiting to be earned by yourself, the Great Qi Empire needs talents everywhere, as long as you are willing to work hard, sooner or later you will have a day to come out.

Through the Yongdao, the soldiers of the guard camp of She County began to go to the inner library under the leadership of the palace eunuchs who came, and there were officials of the staff office waiting there, counting and keeping these things one by one.

Dragoon Ze and the adjutant of the She County Guard Battalion, as well as Bi Maokang's only remaining daughter Bi Shuilian, the three of them stepped into the Imperial Palace with endless respect.

On the Imperial Palace, there are four Great Qi dragon rider guards with golden helmets and golden armor on the left and right sides, and on the dragon chair above the third-order heavenly level, there is a young man wearing a golden dragon robe, and several eunuchs and palace maids are waiting carefully.

"The lowly Dong remains, see long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Liu Tianneng, deputy battalion officer of the lowly She County Defense Battalion, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"The little girl Bi Shuilian, long live the emperor long live, long live, long live."

"Let's be flat." Wang Zheng smiled slightly, moved his gaze to Bi Shuilian, who was wearing white plain clothes, his face darkened, and he sighed deeply, "Cao Huachun, announce the decree." ”

"Yes." Cao Huachun pulled out the golden scroll from his sleeve and shouted respectfully:

"Feng, the emperor of heaven, the edict said: Although Bi Maokang and Bi Maoliang were loyal to the previous dynasty, I am grateful for their loyalty, painful, and regretful!"

“... This is not only the loss of me, but also the loss of Daqi, from now on, posthumously presented Bi Maokang as a young master, posthumously presented Bi Maoliang as a young insurance, all ranked among the three orphans. Canonized Bi Maokang's daughter Bi Shuilian as the lady of the five-grade edict, gave a field house, 200 silver, and talked about my heart. ”

When the decree was announced, not only did the three of them immediately kneel on the ground, but even the eight dragoons on both sides, as well as the forbidden troops on both sides of the road outside the Imperial Palace, also knelt on the ground one after another, in unison.

That's not all, Cao Huachun continued:

"Dong Liucun, careful and proper work, I am very relieved, with the right of Jin Longwei, Liu Tianneng to assist in transporting, finding meritorious service, and promoted to the county guard battalion officer, the former battalion officer Jinzhou defense battalion deputy battalion officer, admiration."

"The last general Dong remains, thank you for the great grace of the emperor, long live long live long live!"

"Xiaguan Liu Tianneng, Xie Wuhuang Da Grace, long live long live long live!"

It wasn't until they came out that the three of them looked at the strangely shaped clouds that kept passing overhead, and they still felt a buzzing sound in their heads, who would have thought that Emperor Zhangwu, who was the emperor of the world, was actually in his early thirties.

Such a young founding emperor is simply too rare, and it is foreseeable that the emerging Great Qi Empire, under the leadership of this young emperor, will surely move towards real prosperity.

Bi Maokang and Bi Maokang, although they were loyal to the former Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhangwu did not care, but gave them three orphans posthumously, and he was even more destined for five products, which were also things that Bi Shuilian did not expect.

This matter is obviously very important in Emperor Zhangwu's heart, Dong Liucun just found something, and he was promoted to the position of the fourth rank right dragon, and Liu Tianneng just personally protected it, but he was promoted to a battalion officer on the spot.

These things seem a little incredible in the eyes of others, but in Wang Zheng's own perspective, they are necessary.

The three of them were still sighing, but a dragoon ran past them in a hurry, still holding a golden token in his hand, Dong had stayed in the army for many years, so he naturally knew this dragoon, and hurriedly shouted and asked:

"Brother Zhuzi, what is the emperor's will?"

"It's time to go west!"

The dragoon, called the vertical dragoon, didn't stop for a moment, didn't say much, just shouted in response, ran down the road, and immediately turned over and galloped out of Qitianmen.

Looking at the direction, it was towards the barracks.

"Expedition to the West?" Bi Shuilian was a little confused, "Didn't Daqi unify the world, why did you still want to go west?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Tianneng smiled, obviously this girl is not the same as his father, and she is not very interested in the big and small things in this world, he said as he walked:

"It seems that Mrs. doesn't know yet, there are still two thieves left in the west, that is, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, if you want to say that this western expedition, the brothers in the army have been looking forward to it for a long time, and now they are finally here."

"Hmm." Dong Liucun smiled and clenched his fists:

"This time, I will go on a big Qi expedition to the west, and I will inevitably wipe out the Dashun and Daxi of that Laoshizi in one fell swoop!"
