After the fifteenth day of the first month, the emperor issued an edict to negotiate peace with the Western Xia, and sent the Ministry of Rites, Shangshu, Wenyuange, and the University of Shihou Xun to Chang'an to handle peace matters, and at the same time lifted the name of the Western Expeditionary Army, renamed the Dingbian Army, Shaanxi, Gansu, and civil and military were rewarded, and Liu Ziguang went to Beijing to take over the reward.

The railway from Chang'an to Tongguan has not yet been opened to traffic, but the road has been repaired, Liu Ziguang took Dong Xiaowan and Xue Xiangying to say goodbye to Huo Lingyao, and embarked on the journey back to Beijing.

Emperor Tianqi personally led hundreds of civil and military officials outside the city to welcome Liu Ziguang back to the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, just like a lifetime, Zhu Youxiao was elegant and sincere to Liu Ziguang and said that Aiqing had worked hard, and then took his hand to board the royal car and entered the palace, along the way with flowers, hundreds of people welcomed Liu Ziguang in the middle of the road, looking at Zhu Youxiao's enthusiastic face, listening to the endless words of beauty, Liu Ziguang did not dare to feel at ease, everything was said to be all thanks to the emperor's grace, the ancestors blessed him, just running errands.

Back in the palace, the banquet had been set up in the Fengtian Palace, just waiting for the monarch and ministers to enter the banquet, Zhu Youxiao changed his robe, and ascended the throne with the support of the eunuch, announcing the beginning of the banquet, during the banquet, the ministers took turns to toast Liu Ziguang, which made him overwhelmed, and told everyone to forgive, who knows, even the emperor knows his prestige of not getting drunk for a thousand cups, and said with a smile that if he is not drunk today, he will not return, and in the end, Liu Ziguang is really drunk, fortunately, he can still keep his head clear and not say any nonsense.

The drunken Liu Ziguang was sent back to the Zhenwu Marquis Mansion, and a group of wives and concubines hurriedly came over to serve, complaining that the emperor was not kind, and he got people thousands of miles away and fought for a year.

Liu Ziguang drank two bowls of sobering soup and returned to normal, saying: "The emperor is really becoming more and more dignified, and every gesture has the imperial style, fortunately, my alcohol consumption has not regressed a lot, otherwise I would not have committed the sin of losing my honor in front of the monarch if I drank high, talked nonsense, and acted indiscriminately." ”

Peng Jingrong said: "You are a great hero, you are a person who wants to save face, you will never make that bird do everything at this juncture, hide the rabbit and kill the dog, you have to do it, you also take your time, I think if it is too peaceful today, you can no longer use you, a loyal minister, it is better to quickly ask the saint to resign, and retreat bravely to the overseas land to live the life of a rich man." ”

Liu Ziguang said: "Having said that, I have countless industries and hundreds of thousands of sergeants and workers under my command, in case I leave, they will inevitably be bullied and humiliated, and the hard work of these years will be ruined in a moment, it is a pity to think about it." ”

Peng Jingrong said: "The industry can be transferred slowly, and it is not necessarily in the middle of the country, old and sick to death, the territory opened up by China Merchants in the past two years is no less than you, the general, there are more borderless lands overseas, you can't run it for a lifetime, you can go overseas after resigning from all official positions, you can go to the exhibition as you like, even if you are the king and hegemon, no one cares about you." If you don't worry, these old brothers will take them with you. ”

Liu Ziguang was speechless, it is an indisputable fact that he has made great achievements, since ancient times, the great heroes have not had a good end, how can they be exceptional, think about people, this is the case in this life, wealth rights are not brought to life, death is not taken away, death is a five-foot-long tomb, what is there to fight for, since Peng Jingrong said that she was going to live in seclusion overseas, it means that the family has reached a consensus, and she has to agree, but it takes a certain amount of time to transfer wealth, industry and a large number of people, and during this time, in order to ensure the smooth operation, you can't give up all your power.

The people brought back from the Western Regions arranged to live in the mansion, Peng Jingrong and they had already heard that Liu Ziguang helped them take in two sisters, one of which was the well-known Dong Xiaowan, and the other was a very legendary and mysterious princess of Huibu, who was very happy, how did they know that Princess Xiangxiang did not come, Dong Xiaowan also temporarily lived in her own apartment because of shyness, and only her goddaughter Xue Xiangying saw such a little girl who was carved in pink, everyone couldn't help but want to kiss the little girl, and they didn't recognize who would come with whom, and they were even more pitied, Peng Jingrong smiled: "Counting it, the master already has three daughters, the daughter of the Zhao family's sister is more than a year old, the girl Han Xueer gave birth to is also half a year old, and the later goddaughter is the oldest, already three years old."

When Liu Ziguang heard Han Xue'er's name, he remembered that he still had such a wife and daughter who he hadn't thought about for a long time, so he asked, "How are they mother and daughter?" ”

"Xue'er is still the same as before, and she has converted to Taoism, but that daughter only recognizes her mother a few times, and I want to bring her to raise her, but I can't say that the mother and daughter are connected to the heart, and Xue'er can live in the world by relying on this spiritual support, so I let their mother and daughter live together in the Taoist temple in the mansion, fortunately, it is hidden in the mansion, otherwise it would be a laughing stock for outsiders to know." Peng Jingrong said.

"It's a poor man, too, I'll go see them." Liu Ziguang said gloomily that his own daughter was raised in the Taoist temple, and it was naturally not a taste in his heart.

"Don't disturb their peace, it's best if you go, and make her find a short-term child." Peng Jingrong dispelled his desire to visit his daughter and said, "Hurry up and see your eldest son, he is almost two years old, he can talk, walk, and have a lot of fun." ”

Liu Ziguang nodded, left Xue Xiangying in the house, changed his clothes and went to Wuyi Lane in the south of the city, but he didn't rush in when he arrived at the door, but he didn't rush in, afraid that his son didn't know him, he wouldn't call his father, he hesitated for a while before knocking on the courtyard door, and it was the eldest princess who opened the door, although it was very late, but she was still neatly dressed, and her face was a little powder, and it seemed that she had been waiting for Liu Ziguang's arrival.

The moment he saw Liu Ziguang, although he had already been mentally prepared, Zeng Cheng still burst into tears, grabbed Liu Ziguang's shirt and cried silently, Liu Ziguang hugged her shoulders and said: "What are you crying, isn't this coming back, this time it's really never going again, there is no battle to fight around, you can rest assured." ”

"It's good if you don't fight, if you continue to fight, your son won't know you, the father." As he was talking, a small figure staggered out of the house, Liu Ziguang raised his eyes and saw that his son Liu Qianqian had changed a lot more than when he was a year old, and had become a strong little boy, who looked exactly the same as his childhood photos, tiger-headed and very cute, but there were too many parts with his own part, and there were too few parts with Zeng Zeng, and he was not handsome enough.

"My son is here for daddy to hug." Liu Ziguang bent down and stretched out two hands, looking at his son eagerly, Liu Qianqian did not recognize life at all, and was not afraid of this stranger, but he didn't call him at all, and his father pounced and touched Liu Ziguang.

Liu Ziguang said curiously: "What is this kid touching? ”

Zeng Cheng said with a smile: "Gluttony, if you eat too much, a child who is less than two years old looks about the same height as a five-year-old child, and when you see someone from home, you have to turn over whether there is anything delicious on someone's body." ”

Liu Ziguang said: "The child can't be hungry because he eats a lot, he is the time to raise now, the meat, eggs, milk, and food must be balanced, and we can't eat partially, our son is tall and has a high level of intelligence." ”

Zeng Cheng sighed and said: "Alas, this kid won't say anything else except shouting that his mother wants to eat, and he has also looked at Lang Zhong, and people say that he can't make up his mind now, and he will wait a few years to see if he knows if it's ......" The two words of the fool finally couldn't be spoken, but Zeng Cheng's eyes were already full of tears.

Liu Ziguang looked up to the sky and sighed, no, is it true that God is so ruthless to give himself glory and wealth, but he is begging back in the next generation, the eldest son's intelligence level is obviously lagging behind, I don't know what will happen to the other children, no matter what, this child is his own flesh and blood, even if he is a fool, he has to take care of it.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Liu Ziguang changed his clothes and entered the court, and sure enough, the emperor issued a holy decree and crowned himself as the Duke of Zhenguo, which was the total reward for his pacification of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Western Xia, and it was also the final reward, because the Ming Dynasty did not have the traditional title of the king of the opposite sex, and the Duke of the Kingdom was already the top title, and in addition to the group of generals who followed the grandfather during the founding period and the generals of the Jingnan period, the imperial court has not had a new duke for hundreds of years.

As soon as the edict was issued, the ministers in the Fengtian Palace all congratulated the newly baked grandfather, but Liu Ziguang was sullen because his son might be a fool, and did not show the joy that the new prince should have, but responded indifferently, which made Zhu Youxiao feel a little unhappy in his heart, is he not satisfied with the title of the prince?

At the same time, there were also generals at all levels who were rewarded, which Zhu Youxiao did well, and every meritorious minister was rewarded with official titles and titles, and Yuan Chonghuan, Xu Zengshou, Li Yan, Wang Fuchen, Zhou Peigong, Zu Dashou, Man Gui, Zhao Gui, etc., all had different rewards.

The Manchu puppet small court ended its historical mission, the Gongrong Emperor was forced to abdicate, was named a marquis by Zhu Youxiao, and the Manchu court outside the Guanhai of Hebei Province was officially renamed Hebei Province, and the Manchu court outside the Guanhai was on the verge of collapse, and the Western Xia dissolved the title of emperor and retreated to the Changbai Mountain area, the poor Baba was like a lamb to the slaughter, and Mongolia was completely Zamuhe, and half of the country of Goryeo was also under the control of Jin Caocheng.

The threat of the Ming Dynasty from all sides has since been lifted, the four seas have risen to peace, the world is worry-free, the Emperor of the Apocalypse has only been in power for five years, and he has achieved such a hegemony, which is called the Apocalypse Zhongxing, and it is well deserved, when Zhu Youxiao took advantage of the momentum of the great seal of civil and military affairs to the Manchu courtiers, this autumn to Mount Tai when the Zen was sealed, a voice of overflowing beauty and approval sounded, and Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the throne, couldn't help but flutter.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhu Youxiao happily returned to the harem, Wei Zhongxian smiled and patted a sycophant before saying: "Your Majesty, now that Zhenguo Gong has returned, he is a thief, and the slave thinks that he can suspend the daily special milk for the eldest princess?" ”

As soon as Liu Ziguang was mentioned, Zhu Youxiao's excited face sank and said: "Stopping the supply rashly will cause suspicion, and the milk will still be supplied, but don't add Sanlu powder to it, this matter must not be known to anyone except our monarchs and ministers, do you understand?" ”
