Lantern Festival, lanterns. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test

And the British public and his entourage finally arrived in the capital on the eve of the Lantern Festival.

Before returning home, the father and son led the remnants of the Imperial Forest Army into the palace to meet the emperor.

Qi Yu received them in the main hall.

After bowing, Qi Yu first commended the merits of the British Duke and others, and then expressed his condolences to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country in the war with Gaochang.

After the scene, Qi Yu asked about the current situation in the Northwest Border Pass.

The British Duke bowed down and replied: "Your Majesty, in the battle of Jiayuguan Tower, the vitality of Kerimu was greatly damaged, and now he is hiding in the hinterland of Gaochang, and he does not dare to come out easily." The eldest prince and the second prince, who had been expelled by Crimea to the north of Gaochang, also took advantage of the situation to go south, wanting to regain the land and people that had been annexed by Crimea.

"Gaochangguo fell back into civil strife, coupled with the heavy snow and cold in winter, the shortage of food and clothing, and many livestock and people froze to death and starved to death.

Jiayu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, those nobles are unfortunately very fateful, as long as their own food and clothing are abundant, in such a bad situation, they will naturally not hit stones with eggs, damage their own strength, so that the enemy has an opportunity.

As for the unarmed people of Gaochang who took the risk of plundering the border in order to survive, the people in the border areas could organize effective resistance without the need to send troops and horses.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Yan'an on the border at present.

Therefore, Zhang Lan stayed, not so much to defend the border, but to stay away from the capital and heal alone......

Thinking of the young son who was left alone at the border, the British duke's gaze at the emperor couldn't help but become complicated.

Qi Yu thought that the British Duke was concerned about the border pass, or he was grateful that under the heavy pressure, he still insisted on sending a thousand Royal Forest Army to reinforce the northwest in the name of "escort", so he said very movingly: "The British Duke is for the country and the people, and the border is against the enemy, hard work and high merit, I am the people of the world, thank you!" ”

As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to the British Duke through the imperial case.

The British Duke and the others hurriedly bowed to the ground and thanked them.

"This is the duty of a courtier, and I dare not be so grateful to Your Majesty."

"Hurry up, please get up." Qi Yu bypassed the imperial case, personally helped up the British Prince, and said angrily, "The British Mansion has been loyal to martyrs for generations, and it is a great luck for me to have such a good general to guard the country, and it is also a great luck for the people of the country!"

"Tomorrow and the Japanese Festival to watch the lanterns, please invite the British Duke and I to climb the city tower together to enjoy the scenery of this peaceful and prosperous world!"

The British Duke hurriedly thanked him and said, "Minister, thank Your Majesty Longen!" ”

Qi Yu asked a few more words about the situation at the northwest border pass, and then released the person.

"The British Duke and General Mingwei have not returned home for three years, and I am very worried about coming home, so I will not keep two more." Qi Yu said with a smile.

The British Duke and Zhang Chao hurriedly bowed down to thank him.

"As for General Wude, please hold for a moment." Qi Yu turned to Zhang Chi.

In the first battle of Jiayuguan on a snowy night, Zhang Chi, who led the crowd out of the city gate with Zhang Chao, and Zhang Lan, who disturbed the enemy's rear, were both promoted to the general of Wude of the fifth grade, and Zhang Chao was promoted to the general of Mingwei of the fourth grade.

Zhang Chi hurriedly surrendered his hand.

Seeing this, the British Duke and Zhang Chao bowed and retreated.

When passing by Zhang Chi's side, the British Duke stared at him with a warning in his eyes.

This kid has been indignant since he learned that Miss Huang was canonized as the queen, and he must not lose his temper for a while and show his feet in front of the emperor.

Zhang Chi took a step back, hugged his fists and sent the prime minister, and signaled to the British public to rest assured.

Annoyed is angry, he can still handle such major events related to the life of the family and the rise and fall of the family.

Qi Yu saw the lawsuit between the father and son, but he didn't take it to heart.

Zhang Chi has a straightforward temperament and does not flatter, which is a well-known thing. The British public was worried that Zhang Chi would accidentally offend Shengwei between his words, so it was not a big deal to be vigilant.

If there is anyone else in this world who can make him trust unconditionally, the British Duke is definitely one!

When the others all withdrew, Qi Yu asked Zhang Chi: "At the beginning, you acted according to the plan and set up an ambush for Kerim, wanting to scare his thief's heart with one blow, so that he would not dare to commit another offense, why did he miss?" ”

It was precisely because of that mistake that he was repeatedly reprimanded by Zhang Shoufu and his mother, and was even forced by his mother to immediately canonize the queen.

Fortunately, the choice of the queen mother is also his heart's desire, otherwise wouldn't he have to lose his life's happiness for this?

Zhang Chi said it in 1510, but he deliberately did not mention the fact that Wang Zhong, the captain of the Imperial Forest Military Academy, was greedy for merit and made a rash move, which led to the capture of Zhang Lan and others.

Wang Zhong had already paid the price of his life for his mistake, and used his body to block the deadly arrow shot at Zhang Lan by Crimea, which is worthy of being a man who stands up to the sky!

"There are even Gao Changguo's fine works in the army?" Qi Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise, and hurriedly asked, "Have you cleaned up all the fine work?" ”

Zhang Chi immediately responded respectfully: "Your Majesty, the details of the failure of the ambush have all been found out and dealt with by my father through the sneak attack on the snowy night.

"But Your Majesty, you also know that it is normal for the two armies to fight each other and send each other to work. My father did not dare to guarantee that there was no fine work mixed into Gaochang Kingdom in the Northwest Army and among the border people, so he did not mention the matter of purging and fine work. ”

Qi Yu nodded and was silent.

As Zhang Chi said, this is inevitable.

What's more, some people may not want to do a good job, but they unwittingly betray their master......

Qi Yu glanced at Feng Lin.

The "Beauty Picture", which was originally intended to be used as a kite mask, was placed so inconspicuously, and Feng Yongting has always been humble and polite, did he really see this painting by accident?

Feng Lin was immersed in the matter of Gao Changguo's meticulous work in the Northwest Army, and he was unaware of it.

This is no small matter!

If you handle it properly, even the British duke, who has always been unruly, may be able to be included in the command of the godfather......

……

When Zhang Chi left the palace and returned to the British Mansion, the British Duke had already asked about the cause and effect of Huang Yi'an's canonization as empress.

When Zhang Chi returned home, visited his mother, brother and sister-in-law, and complained about the Huang family's misconduct, the British duchess stopped him first without the British duchess opening his mouth.

"Let's not say that you haven't figured out the truth yet, and you rashly accuse others of misconduct, which is really a bad gentleman, just say that now that Miss Huang has been canonized as the queen, you have no scruples, full of nonsense, aren't you afraid of bringing disaster to the family?" The British Duke frowned and scolded, "In my opinion, you haven't eaten enough of the lessons from the last osmanthus appreciation party!" ”

Zhang Chi immediately turned pale and pursed his mouth.

He will never forget that incident for the rest of his life, because of his gullibility and stupidity, his mother was almost killed by Mingyan......
