Chapter 788: The Return of the Five Princes

"You sent Ahri to Chuzhou, is the situation in the capital very dangerous? Do you want me to come over and help you?" Bu Feiyan on the other side thought for a while and asked.

"No, the so-called danger is just some intrigues, and in the face of absolute strength, intrigues and tricks are of little use, at most, some of them are resigned.

The reason why Ahri was sent here was also because Shen Ling had been very busy recently, and Ai Lixi was still afraid that something would go wrong. Don't worry, no one in the world can play with me. ”

This may be the most shameless bullshit Lu Sheng has ever bragged in his life.

"Well, that'...... I'm relieved, you rest early, don't stay up late. ”

"Hey, don't be in a hurry to hang up the phone when the last communication is connected. ”

"Hang up?"

"No, I mean let's talk a little longer. ”

The otherworldly version of the telephone porridge boiled for almost two hours, until Feng Wu was hungry and cried in the middle of the night, and then cut off communication with Bu Feiyan.

Since the fall of Yun Zehou, the gate lords and nobles in Jingzhou have really begun to be afraid. Those things in the secret can be thrown, and those that can't be thrown are transferred.

Under Lu Sheng's command in the center, and under the search and pursuit of the Xuantian Guard of the Nine Mansions like a net of heaven and earth, there are new developments almost every day, and almost every day, there are gate lords or officials who are invited to drink tea by the Xuantian Mansion.

The horror that Lu Sheng brought to Jingzhou made those big people tremble even more than Ji Zheng's moodiness in the previous months.

In the eyes of those gate lords in Jingzhou who regard Lu Sheng as an enemy, Lu Sheng's stirring up the situation in Jingzhou without respecting the rules and ignoring the overall situation will definitely make too many enemies to the point that everyone will be enemies. Otherwise, he won't be able to stay in Jingzhou for a long time.

But no one expected that under Lu Sheng's harsh blow, a group of gate valve nobles who were happy and convinced of Lu Sheng had unknowingly gathered around him.

Although the world is as black as a crow, Dayu's gate valve Guixun is not really all crows. There are also gate lords who guard the glory of their ancestors and strictly discipline themselves. There are also many scholars and family members, and the big families with scholarly heirlooms praised Lu Sheng's actions.

There were even many people who were invited by Lu Sheng to drink tea, but they were grateful to Lu Sheng soon after. If you can go in and come out again, it is equivalent to official whitewashing, and you are not to blame for the past.

Lu Sheng strictly enforces the law, but he does not disregard legal principles and human feelings. If he can still stick to the bottom line of morality and don't do anything too excessive, even if he violates the law in some places, Lu Sheng will not be beaten to death without letting go.

was killed by Lu Sheng, not without a backstage, but without sticking to the bottom line and doing things that brought disaster to the country and the people. Even if you promise not to make an example, it is useless, those who have been hurt will not be treated as if they did not happen, and those who have been killed will not come back from the dead.

Before you know it, a month has passed.

It seems that the world of the gate lord Guixun has suddenly become depressed, but the people of the capital sincerely feel that the capital seems to have become clear.

The dignitaries and dignitaries on the street are gone, the red door doglegs who are pointing and cheering are low-key, the gentlemen who fought on the street are gone, and the pedestrians on the street have begun to become regular.

At the same time as the rapid transformation in Jingzhou was visible to the naked eye, the news of the return of the five princes to Beijing was like a falling meteorite smashing out the stormy waves.

The eighth day of December, sunny!

After seven years of expedition, the fifth prince Ji Yu had no reason to delay and return to the dynasty from southern Xinjiang.

He went out with an army of 800,000 and returned with an army of 1.5 million.

After seven years of expedition, even if there were no casualties, it was already unbelievable, but Ji Yu's army was fighting more and more. Of these 1.5 million troops, nearly 800,000 were the troops of the White Nations.

Ji Yu's expedition this time should be able to record Dayu's history books, and he has set several precedents.

The expedition time is unprecedentedly long, and some scholars have made statistics that even if the Shenzhou Dynasty is rich, the expedition to the million-level soldiers can only support the imperial court for three years at most, and the national strength will definitely be insufficient if it exceeds three years. And for an expedition to have more results than losses, it must end the war within a year, and even if it is a big victory, it will be a defeat for both sides.

But this law, which has been believed in for tens of thousands of years, has been marked with an end in the face of the seven years of this expedition. Because Ji Yu's army of 800,000 did not ask the imperial court for supplies after the second year.

Six years of self-sufficiency brought an increase of 10,000 taels to the imperial court. Feelings: This group of Dayu soldiers who went out on the expedition did not go to war, but to pick up money.

It is not a miracle that the 800,000 army has lost less than 50,000 people in seven years, and in Lu Sheng's words, these 800,000 people are not going to fight. They went to the south to develop big.

The mountains of the White Lie are high and densely forested, and the terrain is extremely complex. It caused a lot of inconvenience to the march and the war. The geographical disadvantage is destined for Dayu soldiers to achieve the expected results at a tenfold cost.

But at the same time, the dense forests around the White Kingdoms are full of precious wood, the mountains and forests contain precious herbs, and the mountains and rocks contain precious ores.

In seven years, Dayu's soldiers completely emptied the world, enriched their own pockets and fattened Dayu's finances.

The army of 1.5 million was left 500,000 people to be taken over by the military department when they entered Huzhou, 600,000 returned to Chuzhou when they left the state, and 200,000 stayed in Lizhou.

Of these 8,000 people, the worst are all generals at the level of team leader.

Outside the Shili Pavilion, the people on both sides of the official road are black and oppressive for thirty miles.

The triumph of a soldier should be the most glorious moment in a soldier's life. This glory is incomprehensible to ordinary people. In the cheers of the people, among the petals floating in the sky, all the hardships that have been suffered, all the life and death experienced, and all the thoughts that have been survived seem to have been brewed into wine.

Many iron-clad men have never had red eyes between life and death, but they burst into tears at this moment.

For this cheer, for the word hero in your mouth, for the eyes of your adoring envelopes, it's worth it!

The neat pace is as shocking as the beat of a drum.

The petals in the sky are as beautiful as snowflakes.

After seven years of marching, we have returned triumphantly, and we have returned with glory.

Ten Mile Pavilion, purple and red.

Hundreds of civil and military officials, gate lords and nobles, are all looking forward to it here.

The dragon slowly drove from the distance of the official road, Ji Zheng and the queen stood side by side on the dragon bowl, and the dragon robe and phoenix skirt in the wind danced with the wind.

On the tall horse, Ji Yu suddenly raised his hand.

The army behind him stopped almost instantly, and then stood neatly within three breaths without a single noise.

The people also became silent in an instant, and the civil and military officials who watched this scene also secretly took a deep breath.

It's hard for everyone to say how capable Ji Yu is, but his ability to lead troops to fight is probably unmatched by Dayu except for Emperor Taizu...... Well, if he can become emperor.

Orders and prohibitions are carried out, neatly united, just a gesture, and the army of eight thousand is like one person.

This made Lu Sheng seem to see the military parade ceremony in his previous life.

Ji Yu turned over and dismounted, strode in front of Ji Zheng's dragon and knelt on one knee.

"See the emperor, see the queen mother!"

Whoa—

Behind him, 8,000 soldiers knelt on one knee.

"Ministers see the emperor, see the queen mother, long live my emperor, long live, long live!

"The emperor is flat, and the soldiers are flat!"

The 8,000 soldiers got up in unison, and the scene was as neat and pleasing to the eye.

"All the soldiers have been on the expedition for several years, raising the prestige of our country, suppressing my Shenzhou, looking forward to each other day and night, worrying about my stomach. Now that you are waiting for the triumph, I am very relieved. This is a war that has not been fought in a hundred years, and it is also a rare great victory in a thousand years, and I will reward it generously! All the officers and men will go to the camp of the military headquarters first, and tomorrow I will personally reward the three armies. ”

"Wu! Wu!"

"Emperor, come, show me! It's been seven years...... You bastard, how can you go for seven years? You don't know how to come back and see me?"

"Father, the emperor has not broken the enemy country, and the sons dare not return to the court. Erchen is a general, he has a promise to go on the expedition, he will not break the enemy country, and he will not return to the court!"

"Then you never thought that there was still a father like me in the court? It's been seven years, and my father's hair is gray!"

"Sons are not filial!"

"Go, come home with me. ”

was pulled by Ji Zheng, and Ji Yu returned to the group of civil and military officials. Shen Ling's figure flashed and came to Ji Yu. The two stared at each other for a long time, and suddenly, a bright smile appeared on their faces.

Especially Ji Yu, on his dark face, the two rows of crescents are so eye-catching.

Shen Ling punched Ji Yu in the chest, "It's been seven years, and I've become strong again." You've lost your weight too, right?"

"Have you ever seen someone who is still thirty years old?" Hi Yu's dull personality was revealed.

Lu Sheng looked at Ji Yu calmly, maybe only in front of Shen Ling would reveal his true temperament. Fang Cai's smile made Lu Sheng almost think that the person in front of him was not the same as the person in his impression.

Ji Yu's gaze swept to the surrounding civil and military officials, and his face instantly returned to his expression like a calm lake, and there was a mist that could not be dissolved in the depths of his eyes. It's hard to figure out, and it's hard to get close to.

In the end, Ji Yu's eyes fell on Lu Sheng's face.

Lu Sheng nodded slightly, and Ji Yu also nodded lightly in response.

Lu Sheng, who is rumored to be the right-hand man of the fifth prince, only nodded politely when he met Ji Yu. This scene fell on the hearts of countless people, splashing countless waves of question marks.

Ji Yu's return, that is a major event in the capital.

In the next half a month, it seems that the entire Jingzhou is turning for the triumph of the army. Up to the court, down to the people.

It is also a reward for the three armies, a reward for meritorious deeds, a reorganization of soldiers, and a dispute between princes.

Anyway, Lu Sheng felt that everyone in the entire capital seemed to be jumping up and down.

The matter of the prince who has been dragged by Ji Zheng has been put on the desk. And this time, even the six cabinet officials had no intention of letting Ji Zheng and the mud go.

Ji Zheng's age is getting older day by day, and his physical condition is not as good as before. This is a problem that cannot be ignored, and it is urgent to establish a prince.

However, this time, Ji Zheng had no intention of making peace with the mud, and openly announced that he had already decided on the candidate for the prince, but now that the New Year is approaching, there will be a new selection of new subjects once every three years in the spring of the next year, so Ji Zheng plans to announce the prince on the day the palace test is completed.

In an instant, the entire Jingzhou stirred up a thousand waves.
