The report to the soldiers under Zhang Yue's command was sent by Guo Rong, the king of Jin, on the way back to Beijing, so the rewards and officials arrived quickly. After the www.biquge.info and Jingyuan town army returned to their own town, Guo Rong only returned to Beijing with Ruan and seven or eight thousand forbidden troops.

Shi Yi, the marshal of Jingyuan Festival, stayed in Luoyang Mansion in Xijing due to old age and illness, Guo Rong traveled lightly, and still walked on the road for more than a month, and arrived in Tokyo on the afternoon of the 22nd day of the lunar month.

This time, the forbidden army expropriated the state in the west, whether it was the influence of the reputation of the government and the opposition, or the actual significance of the country, it was very important for the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was only three years old. The emperor obviously took this matter very seriously, and of course there was another meaning. Hearing that Guo Rong had arrived in the suburbs of Tokyo, he ordered Wang Renhao, the envoy of the Xuanhui North Court and the deputy privy envoy, to personally lead a cadre of civil and military officials to go out of Wanshengmen for ten miles to greet him.

The triumphal ceremony was grand and grand, but Guo Rong didn't feel anything, it was no longer the scene of the first calendar, and the cumbersome entertainment was a burden. After the ceremonial process, Guo Rong ordered the soldiers to stay on the spot temporarily, and Wang Pu went to the official pavilion to rest.

It is necessary to be able to stand tall in the court in troubled times, observe words and looks, judge the situation, and change the court. Seeing that the saint is ill and unwell, and the king of Jin is already the de facto prince, this time he will return to the dynasty victoriously, and his prestige will be even greater.

Wang Renho was happy to accept the inquiry of the King of Jin, and hurriedly went to the pavilion to salute, bowed down and said: "There is no major event in the court recently, He Fujin of Shannan Dongdao asked to return to the court due to illness, and arrived in Beijing on the 18th. On the same day, there was also the Zhenzhou Chengde Festival Marshal Yao Yuanfu to return to the dynasty. The day before yesterday, Wang Yin, who stayed behind in Yedu, also returned to the court, probably because the temple festival in the suburbs of Nianguan was about to be sacrificed, and he returned to Beijing this time. It was an edict issued by His Majesty, leaving Wang Yin to serve as the internal and external inspection of the capital.

There is also something related to His Royal Highness, the edict ordered Feng Taishi to be the envoy of the southern suburbs, and His Royal Highness was the envoy of the Don, for the sub-dedication, and the final dedication of the whole body. Because of this military exploit, the addition of the opening of the Fuyi with the three divisions, the inspection of the Taibao, and the right servant of the Shangshu shooting, the line of Kaifeng Yin, the merit envoy, and the same Ping Zhangshi.

Wang Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Soldiers, was the envoy of the Lu book, Zhang Xu was the envoy of honor in the imperial history, Tian Min was the envoy of the ceremony, and Guo Qiong, the former defense envoy of Yingzhou, was the Zhengqing of the right sect. ”

When Guo Rong heard this, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, but then he was stunned, as if he had understood something, turned his head to look at Wang Pu, and saw that he nodded slightly, so he smiled and said, "Lone knows!" The king of labor made the king personally greet him, and he set off when he was ready, and he had to go to the palace to see his majesty! ”

Wang Renho was slightly disappointed, His Royal Highness King Jin obviously wanted to ask something, but he avoided talking about it, and had to retire immediately.

"Your Highness! Judging from the previous repeated urging of His Royal Highness to return to Beijing, and now the high-level sealing of his military exploits and the appointment of Zong Zhengqing, His Majesty may be ill and needs to be psychologically prepared. Wang Pu's eyes flashed, he hesitated, but still said his guess.

The emperor's illness has always been taboo, and it cannot be talked about. However, there were no outsiders outside the official pavilion, and they were all guarded by the guards of the Jin Palace, so Wang Pu reminded him.

"It's the same with Gu Zhuan, it's not early, hurry up and enter the city, it's better to go into the palace to say goodbye, let's talk about it if I see it!" Guo Rong stood up and walked out of the official pavilion to the carriage.

Entering from the Wansheng Gate of the outer city, passing through the West Chamber, and then entering the inner city through the Liangmen Gate, going east along the Liangmen Street to the front of the Xuande Gate of the Imperial City, there are the Privy Council, the Zhongshu Province, and the front of the palace to do a civil and military, and the inner court often waits out to welcome, Guo Rong is happy in his heart, it seems that his father will be summoned.

Guo Rong exchanged pleasantries with several old ministers, his eyes swept over the crowd, and he saw Li Chongjin, the commander of the front division of the palace, Zhang Yongde and others, and his heart settled down.

In the second year of Guangshun, Li Chongjin was the head of the inner capital and the head of the Ma Bu army, not only could enter and exit the inner court at any time, stayed in the palace, but also took charge of the front division of the palace, and the limelight was unparalleled for a while. At that time, many people speculated that the emperor had no queen, and the prince might be Li Chongjin.

At that time, Guo Rong was only the envoy of the Lanzhou Festival, and the Taiyuan County Candidate was much lower than Li Chongjin's status, and Guo Rong was unwilling and worried at that time, and repeatedly asked him to return to Beijing, but Wang Jun has been obstructing.

But now it is different, Li Chongjin has relieved himself of the authority to inspect the capital of the Inner Palace, and he no longer guards the palace, so there are fewer opportunities to get close to his father. And he took advantage of this exploits, Kaifeng Yin, as the minister of Menxia Province and Zhongshu Province, and sacrificed Taimiao for Yaxian in the New Year, which is even more justifiable, and stabilized Li Chongjin.

In the music of the triumphal ceremony, the Xuande Gate was opened, and the ministers welcomed Guo Rong into the Xuande Gate, and the etiquette was completed and dispersed. Yang Sicheng, the young eunuch of the inner chamberlain, walked briskly in front, leading Guo Rong and Zhe Congruan to bypass the Chongyuan Hall to the front of the Xuanyou Gate and enter the Forbidden Zhongzide Palace. Yang Siyuan left Ruan in the pavilion outside the palace to wait, and led Guo Rong to meet him.

Zide Hall is different from Jinxiang Palace, it is the daily living place of the emperor and the concubine, after the Jinxiang Palace, the building specifications are slightly smaller, both can live, can also be daily office, summon some close important ministers. There are also Banzai Palace, Wanfu Palace, etc., and the forbidden palace city at this time is still very simple.

Guo Rong walked into the study in the apse, the windows were closed, the light was dim, and the earth dragon was burned with charcoal, and a wave of warmth came to his face. There were case files piled up on the imperial case, Guo Wei didn't start writing, he was wearing a purple robe, wearing a stiff-winged gauze head, and he looked tired and leaned back on the high couch, and several close attendants bowed down beside him.

"Sons and daughters meet their father! Ask my father how he is well! Guo Rong stepped forward and rolled up his sleeves, lifted the hem of his robe, and bowed down.

"Excuse me! Why should this be the case between father and son...... Sit down! Guo Wei sat up straight, waved his hand and said: "There are many national affairs in the New Year, you can rush back, but you can share your father's worries!" ”

"The father has an order, and the son is there!" Guo Rong got up and tidied up his robe, and sat down carefully on the low couch that the attendant had moved.

"This battle will restore Huizhou, weaken Xia Sui, stabilize Hexi, and Jingyuan Shi Yi will return to the dynasty, congratulations! It's just Shuo Fang Feng Jiye, what's going on? Did you really die on the battlefield? After the ceremony between father and son, Guo Wei got to the point.

"This matter is a little strange, Feng Jiye was in command in the formation, but ran to the front of the battle for no reason, and at that time the Bailanqiang army had been defeated, only a few generals were left to encircle and suppress the remnants of the enemy, Feng Jiye was hit by a cold arrow, and I don't know if it was done by the Qiang people, or was secretly handed by his own people, after the war, the Shuofang army left the battlefield on its own, and the sons had no way to investigate." Guo Rong was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know why his father asked about it.

"Whose subordinates are the generals who encircled and suppressed the remnants of the enemy?" Guo Wei asked again.

"There is the Ma Army under Zhang Yue, the forbidden army under Liu Congxue, and the Shuofang Army, and the battlefield situation is a bit chaotic." Guo Rong's heart was sudden, but he didn't answer truthfully.

As for Feng Jiye's death, Guo Rong knew a little vaguely afterwards, and even sent someone to secretly inquire about it, guessing that it was Zhang Yue's person, but he couldn't conclude that it was related to Zhang Yue. Because Zhang Yue and Feng Jiye had no grudges, under the circumstances at that time, it was impossible for him to do this in the front army, and even less before the war. (To be continued.) )
