The team has not accelerated its journey since entering the city, and has arrived in the capital, and when they reach the end of their trip, it means that all that remains is to accept military merits and praise!

The cheers of countless people formed a pleasant music on the main street of the capital, and the sores in the hearts of the soldiers were slowly healed.

This is the people they are desperately protecting, and this is the motivation for them to fight.

Zou Shiyan fought in the front, and slowly, slowly came to the outside of the palace.

And along the way, all the people in the capital and other places were amazed by his handsome face.

All of a sudden, the news that the Northwest Army had an incomparably handsome white-robed young general continued to spread wildly on the streets.

General Qi, the leader of the forbidden army guarding the palace, greeted him with a smile.

"The soldiers have worked hard all the way, unload all the weapons, and you can enter the palace!" General Qi said with a smile.

Zou Shiyan didn't bring many people this time, they were all general-level figures, and at the back of the team was the general Zhao Zhilong.

The high-ranking and powerful people were naturally behind, and General Qi and Zou Shiyan took care of them and went to meet them in the direction of Zhao Zhilong.

Eventually, the procession entered the palace, and only thirty generals unloaded their swords and entered.

The palace is strict, and there is naturally no outside hustle and bustle inside, and the soldiers are dressed in military uniforms, and they are a little restrained after they come in.

However, seeing Zou Shiyan follow the eunuch without squinting, the others also straightened their chests and no longer had any timidity.

The emperor did not let the courtiers leave since the early dynasty, today is the day when the northwest generals returned to Beijing with the envoys of the Pingyi State, even if the court meeting was dispersed, they did not leave to go home, but gathered together and waited.

Now that the generals have entered the palace, there have already been people to greet them all the way, and after the emperor got the news, he ordered all the ministers to greet them in front of the palace.

The scene is naturally not as vigorous as before, after all, the palace is not as good as the outside, and all the hustle and bustle is not allowed, but the civil and military officials are standing upright in court clothes, and the scene is indeed shocking.

The northwest generals continued to move forward, and at this time the leader was no longer Zou Shiyan, but the general Zhao Zhilong, and Zou Shiyan was standing behind him on the right.

The pampered courtiers saw a team coming from afar with neat steps, and the general Zhao Zhilong took the lead, and when they reached the steps, they only heard Zhao Zhilong's loud voice say loudly, "Your Majesty! The ministers were fortunate to defeat the enemy and surrender to the country, and now they have come to Beijing with the envoy! ”

"Good! Aiqing is worthy of being the person I trust the most, and she really lives up to my expectations! The emperor walked down from the dragon chair and walked to the door of the Heart Cultivation Hall with the support of Li Chunqiu, the chief eunuch.

Looking at the generals in military uniforms, whether young or old, they all looked at themselves with burning eyes, it was the joy of successfully coming back, and it was also the courage of the decisive battle, the emperor had not felt this atmosphere for many years.

He ascended the throne as a young man, and now it has been decades, but he has also been on the battlefield to fight, so for him, seeing the spirit of the soldiers around him can't help but be happy.

"Your Majesty! Fortunately, it is not disgraceful! As he spoke, the general Zhao Zhilong knelt down, and when he knelt, the other soldiers also knelt down, as did the civil and military officials.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The sound was deafening, and the emperor was the only one standing in the huge square in front of the hall, and his mood at this moment could not be described in words.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat!" The emperor's voice today is a few points higher than in the past, and everyone can see that she is really a dragon-faced Dayue.

As the courtiers got up, the emperor immediately said, "Tonight there will be a banquet in the palace, and all the soldiers and men with military merits will participate, regardless of the size of the official position, I will reward the three armies!" Also, I ordered to go down and increase the salary, so that the soldiers in the northwest will receive this honor together! ”

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately replied respectfully, "Emperor Shengming, I wish the emperor great blessings, and I wish the country prosperity!" ”

"Your Majesty! I wish the emperor a blessing! I wish my country prosperity! The people behind shouted in unison.

The emperor ordered dozens of generals to arrange palaces, and only a part of the northwest army came, and most of the generals remained in the northwest and were ready to fight at any time.

Zou Shiyan followed the side of the general Zhao Zhilong and was led to a palace, not a harem, but a place specially used to entertain courtiers.

Zou Shiyan entered the palace for the first time, and the palace was even more brilliant and solemn than he imagined.

As he expected, the emperor did not receive the envoys first, but prepared to take the lead in giving a celebration banquet to all the generals who came from the northwest.

The time soon came to night, and the palace maids and attendants all walked with their heads down, their pace was fast and steady, and they looked like the palace was training.

The palace was not decorated, but many red lanterns were hung in the palace where the banquet was held. From afar, there is a festive atmosphere.

"Adjutant General! The women in this palace are really beautiful, although they are all palace maids, but they are much more beautiful than what I have seen at home! Luo Dali's eyes can't be taken care of, look at this, look at that, from time to time, a row of palace maids wearing palace clothes pass by, revealing a small collar, which makes the hearts of these rough men in the army ripple.

Hearing this, Zou Shiyan didn't react at all, what the woman in the palace looked like had nothing to do with him, and he was not interested in seeing it.

As officials entered the side hall one after another, many palace maids also looked at these generals who came back from the northwest behind their backs.

Although many people have dark faces, the momentum of their bodies is not possessed by the pampered sons in the capital, and it is also very eye-catching.

Among them, the most eye-catching is Zou Shiyan who randomly found a remote corner to sit.

After the palace maid who passed by Zou Shiyan's position saw his appearance, she unconsciously let out a sigh of admiration in her heart.

There is such a white and pure man in the army, and the most important point is that he does not have such a murderous aura as others, which makes people stay away, but has a clear atmosphere, which makes people unconsciously want to get closer.

The voice of the palace maid muttering not far away quickly reached Zou Shi's ears, and he drank the tea in his hand expressionlessly without making a move.

Later, more and more people entered the venue, and it was not until the general Zhao Zhilong also walked in that someone got up to salute, and Zou Shiyan was quickly called to the side of Zhao Zhilong's position.
