Indeed, the officials and people in the capital are waiting for Zhang Zhijie to return to Beijing in triumph, on the one hand, because Zhang Zhijie led the army to sweep the grassland, sweeping away the decadence of the Tang Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, which is inspiring and proud.

On the other hand, because all the tribal leaders on the grassland would come to the capital with Zhang Zhijie to meet the emperor, the emperor was respected as the Khan of Chechentian.

Under the expectation of all the people in the capital, the army finally gradually arrived at the outskirts of Beijing. The cabinet led hundreds of officials to greet him. Zhang Zhijie swept across the grassland, making the grassland tribes submit one after another, and made such an immortal achievement, Emperor Zhengde originally planned to personally greet him.

But at the same time, there were also tribal leaders on the grasslands who entered Beijing, and they came to honor Emperor Zhengde as the Khan of Chechentian, and if Emperor Zhengde personally greeted him, his status would be somewhat reduced.

Therefore, under the persuasion of Yang Tinghe and others, Emperor Zhengde had no choice but to give up the idea of greeting him in person, and instead led a hundred officials by cabinet scholars.

Although there was no Emperor Zhengde to greet him personally, it was also very grand, and Zhang Zhijie didn't care if Emperor Zhengde came.

The decree was issued, and after the triumphal ceremony, the army returned to its base camp, and the meritorious generals and the tribal leaders of the steppe entered the palace for a banquet.

Yiye and Ziyi had already left Beijing and returned home under the escort of their personal guards, and now only a luxurious carriage remained. After Yang Tinghe and the others finished the ceremony, they walked up to Zhang Zhijie and asked in a whisper, "Lord Zhang, is it time to enter Beijing?" ”

After that, he also glanced at the carriage not far away, and wondered who was in the carriage, but he had been sitting in the carriage without moving.

Because Zhang Zhijie planned to surprise Emperor Zhengde, he did not tell Emperor Zhengde about Gushi Hatun, and Yang Ting and them naturally had no way of knowing. Because Dayan Khan escaped, they naturally thought that Gushhatun had also fled with Dayan Khan.

In the midst of the army in a carriage, there must be a woman. Yang Tinghe looked at the carriage and guessed in his heart, this would not be the beautiful woman Zhang Zhijie brought back from the grassland, right? The question is, Zhang Zhijie, this is too blatant, right? No matter what, you can secretly take it home!

Seeing that the eyes of Yang Tinghe and the others secretly glanced at the carriage from time to time, Zhang Zhijie smiled and said, "Elder Yang Ge, there is still a noble person in the carriage!" ”

Yang Tinghe was shocked when he heard this: "Oh? Elegant? "With Zhang Zhijie's current status, he personally said that he was a nobleman, that must be an amazing identity.

Zhang Zhijie no longer hid it, and said with a smile: "It's Gushi Hatun who has also entered Beijing with him!" ”

Yang Tinghe and the others were taken aback when they heard this, and exclaimed, "What?!" Harton?! ”

Several cabinet scholars and scholars looked at each other, why did a hatun suddenly appear? Why is Zhang Zhijie never mentioned in the recital?

Yang Tinghe came back to his senses and asked in a low voice, "Lord Zhang, what's going on?" ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "When the governor led the army to the Khan's court, Gushi Hatun did not withdraw. The grassland tribes can return to the imperial court so smoothly, and they have to thank Hatun for mediating it! ”

"The governor wanted to go back to Beijing to surprise the emperor and all the adults, so he didn't mention it in the recital."

What a surprise! Pleasantly surprised! What else can they do but smile wryly? I'm afraid that Zhang Zhijie will dare to play like this all over the world!

Yang Tinghe said with a wry smile: "Gushi Hatun enters Beijing, there should be female officials in the palace to greet him, what can I do?" ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "What's this, just enter Beijing together, and talk about it after entering the palace!" ”

Yang Ting and them could only smile bitterly, and while sending someone to the palace to deliver the message, they came to the carriage to greet them. However, Gushi Hatun didn't care about these either, after all, there were not so many rules on the grassland.

The generals who returned triumphantly, the hundreds of officials in the court, the leaders of the grassland tribes, and the guards of the Jinyi guards, the mighty procession began to enter Beijing.

finally returned to the capital, but Zhang Zhijie didn't have time to feel like going home, because today's capital is too noisy, with thousands of empty alleys and rubbing shoulders.

On the one hand, the sandwich welcomes the meritorious generals who swept across the grassland, and on the other hand, he is naturally full of curiosity about the tribal leaders on the grassland. In fact, many people are very curious about the leader of the grassland tribe entering Beijing to meet him, and this is the scene they want to see.

Although these tribal leaders on the grassland are not good-looking, far less eye-catching than those top girls, the people in Beijing feel very satisfied when they see these tribal leaders.

And Zhang Zhijie caused a lot of screams when he walked by, because Zhang Zhijie's achievements over the years are too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Zhang Zhijie wanted to keep a low profile, but unfortunately, this is the etiquette set by the Ministry of Etiquette.

As for the meritorious generals who accompanied them into Beijing, they didn't have Zhang Zhijie's low-key mind, they sat on the horse and felt like a spring breeze and horseshoe hurry, and life was just like this!

The tribal leaders did not feel any joy, after all, the grandeur of the capital was built on the conquest of the steppe. However, these tribal leaders still sighed and lamented the prosperity of the capital.

Finally arriving at the palace, the clan leaders entered the city like dirt buns. Emperor Zhengde held a grand ceremony in the main hall.

Gushi Hatun led the grassland tribe to the Zhengde Emperor to honor him as the Khan of Chechentian, and presented the Guishun table. Emperor Zhengde was delighted and awarded many rewards.

The ceremony is extremely grand but also extremely lengthy, and the feeling for Zhang Zhijie is one word, tired! However, the ministers were excited, even Emperor Zhengde was very excited, and this was indeed an exciting time for them.

Because he had not discussed the policy of treating the grassland with Zhang Zhijie, Emperor Zhengde did not say much, but only comforted the tribal leaders of the grassland.

The long and grand ceremony finally passed, and Zhang Zhijie's ears were calloused when he heard the praise. The next thing should be the imperial banquet, Zhang Zhijie really has a bit of a headache about this, because he can think of the next scene, and there will definitely be a large wave of toasts coming to him.

Just when Zhang Zhijie was thinking like this, Zhang Yong quietly came to Zhang Zhijie's side and said with a smile: "Little Marquis, congratulations on the triumphant return of the little Marquis。。。。。。 ”

Zhang Zhijie smiled and waved his hand: "Everyone who listens is about to become cocooned, let's not talk about this." In fact, he was a little curious in his heart, Zhang Yong should not come to compliment him on this occasion.

Sure enough, Zhang Yong said in a low voice: "Little Marquis, the emperor asked our family to remind the little Marquis, don't slip away halfway!" After all, these tribal leaders of the steppes are here! ”

Zhang Zhijie was a little embarrassed when he heard this, waved his hand and smiled: "The emperor is too careful, how can I slip away halfway?" Am I that unreliable? ”
