On the fifth day of the seventh month of the twelfth year of Emperor Huiwen's reign, the summer sun baked the whole capital hot, and there were many fewer pedestrians on the streets, and the stalls and vendors also hid in the shade of the trees to avoid the sun. The guards at the city gate yawned, stretched lazily, felt the water bladder hanging from their waists and poured it down.

In the distance, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, the guards were immediately alert, and they all stood up, and the fast horses came to the front in an instant, and the man on the horse was wearing the uniform of a lieutenant colonel, and he raised the command flag in his hand to the guards at the city gate, and shouted: "Urgent! Urgent! Emperor Yan Cheng handed over a letter of surrender to General Helan, and the Eastern Expedition was a great victory, and General Helan subdued Eastern Yan! ”

What the? The lazy passers-by instantly jumped up and hugged both sides of the road. Victory in the Crusade! Dongyan has fallen!! After a moment of discussion, the streets boiled, the people cheered in unison, and the news spread quickly throughout the capital.

Outside the palace, the Jingyang Bell, which had not been rung for more than ten years, was suddenly ringed. Jingyang bell is the founding emperor Taizu set up outside the palace gate, Jingyang bell three rings, there are great meritorious people to seal the marquis and crown, six rings, canonized the prince, nine rings, the new emperor ascended the throne, four rings, national funeral, seven rings, the country is broken, the capital is endangered, eight rings, the great victory of the expedition, the new territory of the Great Jin. No matter how many times, the emperor and the prince of the Manchu Dynasty must go to court. Now, the Jingyang bell has rang eight times, and the sound echoes over the entire capital, spreading far and wide.

Emperor Huiwen was taking a nap in the Ying Concubine Palace, as soon as the Jingyang bell rang, Emperor Huiwen woke up suddenly, sat up suddenly, and his heart was beating in fright, listening carefully, eight sounds! Jingyang bell rang eight times! Emperor Huiwen patted the edge of the bed and stood up, and said hurriedly: "Quick! Change! ”

Concubine Ying was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked people to get the dragon robe and change it for him personally, and did not forget to ask in a whisper: "Your Majesty, did the Jingyang bell ring eight times?" ”

Emperor Huiwen's face could not hide the ecstasy, and he shook her shoulder hard: "It must be the victory of the Eastern Expedition, Helan Xue won Dongyan!" ”

Eight sounds! The masters of the palace were also shocked, at this time, the Jingyang bell rang eight times, only Helan Xue's Eastern Expedition army, Queen Chen couldn't believe her ears, she held Tsing Yi's wrist with her backhand, and her voice trembled a little: "She...... She...... Dongyan has fallen? ”

In Ci'an Palace, the Queen Mother also woke up from a nap, Ruoyu said happily: "Niangniang, Jingyang Bell has struck eight times, it must be a great victory for the county lord of Anping!" ”

The Queen Mother's eyes were hot, and her voice was a little choked: "The last wish of the first emperor has finally come true!" Ancestors bless me Dajin! ”

In King Xuan's mansion, King Xuan had finished changing clothes, and the princess gently wiped the corners of her eyes and smiled at him: "Lord Wang, Xue'er has lived up to your trust." ”

King Xuan said with a smile: "Your son has a good vision, he has chosen such a powerful wife for himself, and when her class teacher returns to the court, he will marry back!" ”

The princess paused for a moment and said softly: "This matter can't be delayed any longer, her appearance has changed a lot, she has not been in the capital for the past few months, if it changes a little more, I am afraid that she will think about it, that matter...... I've already told Qin Se that we should also quietly remind her again, and let her be on guard. ”

King Xuan nodded slowly: "I know, this is not a matter of making her guarded, I have to persuade her, don't be in a hurry to take revenge, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand it, after all, the imperial brother did too much, and Brother Chen Wang is afraid that there will be a move, everything has a priority, these things have not been solved, she wants to make a big move, and the world will be chaotic." ”

Outside the door, Wei Peng's voice said softly: "Father, let's enter the palace." ”

King Xuan opened the door and came out, patted his shoulder with a smile, the joy on Wei Peng's face could not be hidden, King Xuan knocked on his head, and feigned: "It's so big, I don't know how to hide it, it's not a joke." ”

Wei Peng smiled brightly: "My wife is amazing, am I happy or not?" ”

On the Chongming Palace, hundreds of officials gathered, Emperor Huiwen sat on the dragon chair in the middle, Wei Peng and He Teng were on his side, and the inner servant had already led the captain who rang the bell to the palace, and the captain was Helan Xue Qingfeng Village's henchman, named Wang Xiong, at this time, this person had already made a big gift to Emperor Huiwen, and handed over Helan Xue's urgent report to both hands.

Emperor Hui Wen looked through the newspaper and asked, "Cao Qingmo directly handed over the letter of surrender?" ”

Wang Xiong replied: "Back to Your Majesty, exactly." General Helan besieged Yandu on June 15, not wanting to hurt the people in the city, so he did not attack, and captured several children of the Su family in a few days of fighting, and killed He Jian and King Xiaoliang, Yan ...... Cao Qingmo saw that the general trend had gone, and begged General Helan to protect the people in the city, and would rather surrender, but the general agreed, and on June 27, Cao Qingmo knelt down to the general to offer a letter of surrender, saying that he would surrender permanently. ”

Wei Peng's body was shocked, and he blurted out, "June 27?" ”

Wang Xiong nodded yes. Emperor Huiwen was puzzled and glanced at him: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Wei Peng was a little stunned for a moment, and his voice became floating: "Your Majesty, that day was her eighteenth birthday. ”

Emperor Huiwen was shocked and turned his head to look at him, Wei Peng swallowed his saliva and nodded with some difficulty to show certainty. The ministers in the palace also looked at him in disbelief, Emperor Huiwen's eyes turned to the fold in his hand again, Helan Xue said clearly, the Su family is willing to surrender, and persuade Cao Qingmo to be Emperor Yan and do the last good deed for the people - to protect the people from poison, uh, there are still many rumors about Helan Xue's massacre of cities in northern Xinjiang; On the twelfth day of the siege, Cao Qingmo opened the city gate and knelt down to offer a letter of surrender.

But...... It was so coincidental that it was her eighteenth birthday.

Lin Yi's voice was also a little incredulous: "Your Majesty, is this the will of heaven?" ”

Yes, this must be the will of heaven, Emperor Huiwen's original intention was to accept Dongyan as a vassal state, pay tribute every year, and call him a minister every year, but Helan Xue went all the way to the east, and it only took four months to force Emperor Yan Cheng to offer a letter of surrender, and the entire Dongyan was included in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, she ...... She is opening up the territory for the Great Jin Dynasty and building an immortal achievement!

There was a discussion in the court immediately, and the surprise and surprise on King De's face could not be suppressed, she had laid a piece of heaven for herself!

King Ning forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, a little girl, how could she succeed? She was able to escape from the trap they had set, was she the devil? Utul ...... He was injured in the arm and could no longer help them fight against him, so he withdrew from the battle, so Dongyan was defeated so quickly?

Emperor Huiwen asked again, "How is she doing?" Did the leg injury flare up? ”

Wang Xiong replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the general's leg has returned to normal. ”

Emperor Huiwen hummed, asked a few more words about the situation in the army, and then ordered Wang Xiong to go down to receive the reward. Helan Xue's recital was also circulated to several princes and elders, and the six Shangshu books were circulated one by one, Wei Chong said with a smile: "Father, General Helan has made immortal achievements this time, and my father wants to reward him greatly?" ”

Emperor Huiwen smiled: "This is natural, she gave me such a big surprise, I have to surprise her." ”()
