The day has finally come when the Darong army will return to the dynasty in victory. In order to welcome the army back to the court, today's Darong City is already empty of thousands of people, and people are full of voices everywhere, and it is very lively. On both sides of the street stood the spontaneous welcoming people, and the long queue lined up from inside the city to the outside of the city, from outside the palace walls to inside the palace walls. All the restaurants and teahouses are overcrowded, and behind the windows facing the street are countless famous ladies and boudoirs.

And today, the emperor and queen led the civil and military officials to meet and reward the three armies outside the city, which is a great honor for the soldiers of the three armies, the dragon is mighty, the power of the sky is far away, the soldiers and hundreds of officials kneel three times and knock nine times, three shouts long live, the sound vibrates the government and the opposition. Only Yan Yue was melancholy in her heart, Yan Yue and Murong Yan basically did not intersect these days, each living their own days, if it wasn't for welcoming the army back, the two had not seen each other for several days.

It only took less than half a year for the army of Darong to level the country of Cangmu. Everyone saw that the army was high, and who still remembered the desolation and depression of the battlefield, how many people were displaced by this war, how many families were destroyed, and how many people lived in water and fire from then on...... In Yan Yue's sigh, she unconsciously entered the ritual.

The official of the Ministry of Rites was reading out the lengthy decree of commendation, and the high-pitched voice received a thunderous response from time to time.

"General Sikong, because of his meritorious service in the battle of Cangmu, he gave seventy catties of gold, six million dollars, one hundred and eighty slaves and maids, and two thousand horses...... "With the reading of the will, General Sikong appeared in armor and knelt down in front of everyone to thank him. After half a year of riding a career, his face did not show a trace of fatigue, but was even more vibrant. Yan Yue couldn't help but sigh that some men were born for war, and their lives could only be unleashed with endless charm on that battlefield. And General Sikong is precisely this kind.

In Yan Yue's deep thinking, a name caught Yan Yue's attention, and the ceremonial official proclaimed loudly: "Yan Wenzhong, the official reinstates the position of general, gives fifteen million in money, 100,000 horses of cloth, and 100 slaves and maids......" Yan Yue watched the so-called father come out and kneel down to thank him, but there was no joy in his heart. Thinking that this official position and property were all exchanged for other people's blood and lives, Yan Yue felt even more disgusted in her heart.

The military attaché reward was followed by the civil official, and the first reward was Bi Chenggong.

"Bi Chenggong is dedicated to the country, and he has made meritorious contributions to the battle of Cangmu, and he has been named Taifu. Another reward of 50 catties of gold, 4 million money, 200 slaves and maids, 80,000 pieces of cloth, and a ...... to the Taifu Mansion" Every time the official of the Ministry of Rites read out, Yan Yue's heart trembled, and his face turned pale unconsciously. Staring at Bi Chenggong, who was out of the list of thanksgiving, Yan Yue's mood was even more like knocking over the five-flavor bottle, and she had any taste.

And Bi Chenggong's eyes only stayed on Murong Yan's body from beginning to end, and the gentle expectation and infatuation in his eyes couldn't help but be revealed. Yan Yue felt cold when she just looked at it like that, this Bi Chenggong did not hide her love for Murong Yan at all, couldn't Murong Yan even see this? He left her in the court, and he faced it every day, was it really just for the country? The relationship between husband and wife that he once had, Murong Yan should not be able to forget it!

Now that he has been sealed as an official, given a house, and has a slave and maid, can it be said that he Murong Yan raised a junior openly outside. Thinking of the word junior, Yan Yue couldn't help laughing. If that's the case, Murong Yan really doesn't deserve it!

Yan Yue looked at Murong Yan with smiling eyes, his every move showed his nobility and purity, and then looked at the courtiers left and right, the people standing here can also be said to be human dragons and phoenixes, but compared with Murong Yan, these people can only be said to be ordinary beings who are not worth seeing. When Yan Yue's gaze stayed on Murong Yan's body, his eyes also seemed to look at Yan Yue intentionally or unintentionally, and there was a flash of fierceness in his smiling eyes, that should be a warning, warning Yan Yue not to do anything to Bi Chenggong!

Yan Yue couldn't help but sneer, it was up to him whether he could do it or not, what was the use of him warning again! Yan Yue has such a problem, if his posture is a little lower, Yan Yue may not necessarily start. But the more high-profile Yan Yue was, the more he wanted to try, and the worst result was a big deal. Where did Murong Yan think that one of his glances actually received the most unexpected effect, Yan Yue really wanted to do it.

Outside the city, the emperor rewarded the three armies, and inside the palace, the soldiers offered treasures.

The first thing General Sikong presented to the emperor was the territory of the former Cangmu Kingdom. Now all the borders of the land are the territory of Dajung. When the guard officer hung the new territory of Darong in front of the generals, all the ministers knelt down and shouted, "Long live the emperor!" ”

And hundreds of carriages that followed the generals also stopped in the palace compound at this time. It's just that when the boxes in those carriages were hit, Yan Yue was also surprised, and boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, jade antiques, and pearl agate dazzled the eyes of the ministers in the sun. Hundreds of boxes of gold bars alone were piled up.

Yan Yue's gaze slowly moved from those belongings to Murong Yan's face, and it was no surprise that she saw a certain kind of fanaticism on his face, which was a kind of frenzy after plundering, joy after possession. Yan Yue's eyes looked at Bi Chenggong in that scene, and Yan Yue's heart was suddenly full of hatred. It is undeniable that this Bi Chenggong successfully aroused Murong Yan's fanaticism of conquering the world as a man and dominating the world, and it can also be said that the path Murong Yan wants to take this year can be regarded as under the inducement of this woman.

When the other carriages were unveiled one by one, only the last two carriages remained mysterious. The feeling of holding the pipa half-covering and half-covering the face whetted everyone's appetite, and they didn't know what precious treasures would be contained in these two exquisitely shaped and differently arranged carriages.

"Master Bi, take out the baby and let everyone open their eyes!" An official couldn't help but shout at Bi Chenggong, who was standing in front of the carriage. This person shouted out everyone's hearts, so there was a casual urging, but Nabi Chenggong didn't buy it, just stared at the emperor and waited for the emperor to speak. This move undoubtedly made Murong Yan feel good, and even the smile on his face was much softer: "Bi Aiqing, what kind of treasure should you take out." ”

Yan Yue only felt extremely harsh when she heard it, and no matter what the occasion was, she immediately coughed loudly a few times, and looked at Murong Yan defiantly. The embarrassment in Murong Yan's eyes flashed, but Bi Chenggong's voice sounded at the right time: "Please ask the emperor to come forward to inspect this treasure in person." ”

Yan Yue's eyes looked at Na Bi Chenggong, and she couldn't imagine that this woman would compete for favor on the first day she returned to the court. What kind of treasure does the emperor want to see in person? Yan Yue's annoyed gaze couldn't help but look at General Sikong who was standing on one side, but she saw that General Sikong's gaze was also looking at her, and the two looked at each other, and General Sikong immediately lowered his head. Even so, Yan Yue clearly saw the guilt flashing in his eyes. Guilty, Yan Yue believed in her feelings. With intuition, Yan Yue blurted out: "Lord Bi, the territory of Darong is expanding, and today the emperor will reward the three armies, and the world will enjoy it together." What treasures are there in Master Bi's car, can't they be seen in this Darong soldier? ”

Bi Chenggong was dumbfounded for a while, and Murong Yan stopped speaking immediately because of Yan Yue's words. All the soldiers waited for Bi Chenggong's answer together.

After a moment of silence, Bi Chenggong immediately knelt down and said: "I heard that men conquer the world and conquer women, so every time the emperor's army conquers a city in Cangmu, the minister will choose the most beautiful woman from it, and now these nine women are dedicated to the emperor." ”

All of a sudden, there was silence in the huge treasure offering ground. Some people admire Bi Chenggong's cleverness in their hearts, so many soldiers went to the front line to fight, why didn't they think of collecting beauties for the emperor, but Bi Chenggong thought of it. How interesting it is to dedicate it to the emperor in this way, and the emperor pampered a woman and thought of which city he had conquered.

Others were carefully observing the queen's face. Some time ago, there were many folds in the palace that the old ministers in the palace persuaded the emperor to fill the harem, and there were also many folds to ask the little masters of the Buddha Temple to take them back to the harem, but all of them were rejected by the emperor. This shows how deep the saint's love for the queen is today, and if you send a beautiful woman to the emperor at this time, will the queen agree! Today's queen is not simple, if she offends the queen, won't there be no good fruit to eat!

"When a man conquers the world, he conquers a woman. Dare to ask Master Bi, what is the second half of this sentence? Yan Yue asked directly. Bi Chenggong only felt a chuckle in his heart, and then realized that there was something wrong with this. Fortunately, Yan Yue didn't wait for Bi Cheng to speak, and then continued: "When a man conquers the world, he conquers a woman, and a woman conquers a man. Lord Bi can bring beautiful women to Darong, which means that the emperor has conquered these women. Is it because I want them to conquer the emperor and conquer the world by letting them enter the palace now? ”

I have to say that Yan Yue is a little strong. No matter how these women conquer the emperor, they are only a corner of the palace, how can they conquer the world! But when Yan Yue said this, Bi Chenggong couldn't refute it, so he could only kowtow again and again: "Back to the queen's mother, the minister has no such intention!" No such intention! ”

"Then this palace asks you again, why did you choose nine beauties? What is the meaning of these nine? Could it be that there are only nine cities in Cangmu? Yan Yue ignored Bi Chenggong's plea and then asked. The sweat on Bi Chenggong's body couldn't help but flow out, and at this time he realized that he had done something stupid, and immediately replied cautiously: "This nine means the emperor's ninety-five honor." Not exactly nine cities. ”

Yan Yue snorted coldly, and continued: "Master Taifu, nine has the meaning of the respect of ninety-five, but nine also has the meaning of ninety-nine to one. Do you know what it means to be one? That is to say, the meaning of reincarnation in situ. Do you mean that today my emperor has accepted these nine beautiful names, and other countries will also accept nine beautiful women from our country in the future? ”

Yan Yue's hat was really buttoned up a little too much this time, which was simply saying that Bi Chenggong was cursing Darong for being invaded by other countries. This time, no one in the ministers dared to gasp loudly.

"The queen mother forgives her sins, and the minister only thinks about offering beautiful women to the emperor, and there is no misdeeds. Please Emperor Mingjian! Bi Chenggong knocked his head down deeply this time, and never raised it again. And the somewhat twitching shoulders were so obvious that Bi Chenggong was in tears!

Yan Yue was even more annoyed, this pretentiousness was just refuting sympathy. It's just that this time Murong Yan spoke: "Bi Aiqing is dedicated to the country and loyal, of course I and the queen believe in you." As for these nine beauties, after talking for a long time, I and the ministers were a little anxious, but I don't know what these nine beauties look like? Don't let these nine beauties come out to see me and the ministers. The emperor is obviously excusing Bi Chenggong, and of course Bi Chenggong quickly stood up in understanding: "The minister will let the nine beauties come out." ”

With the appearance of nine beauties, there was another shock in the treasure offering field. Even Yan Yue had to admire Bi Chenggong's aesthetic gaze, these nine women can really be called beauties like jade and heavenly fragrance, or elegant, or beautiful, or elegant, or lovely, or lush, or willowy, or plump, or graceful...... Just like the Hundred Flowers Garden in March, all kinds of beauties gather in a pavilion, full of fragrance.

Yan Yue looked at it coldly, only to feel that the word "lustful for men" was really an unchangeable truth through the ages. When the nine women stood in the middle of the field, all the men's eyes were focused on the nine women. Of course, this includes Murong Yan, Xuanyuan Yaohui, and Lei Zhentian and Lei Zhenyu behind Yan Yue. Even the old ministers looked at it before lowering their heads, but after bowing their heads, they couldn't help but look up a few more times. Yan Yue even saw the corners of a minister's lips drooling involuntarily.

"Master Bi really took a lot of effort! Beauty is like jade, I feel pity! Your Majesty, the concubines are feeling that there are fewer people waiting around the emperor, so why don't you include all these nine beauties in the harem? Yan Yue suddenly laughed, but her eyes were full of coldness when she looked at Murong Yan. If Murong Yan really agreed to this, Yan Yue would not mind sprinkling poison on this situation and making them suffer for a few months. It can be regarded as a complete break with this Murong Yan!

The ministers listened attentively, each busy arranging his eyes. You must know that these women have entered the palace, they are all mothers, who dares to blaspheme the emperor's women!

There was silence in the field, and then Murong Yan's clear voice sounded: "Bi Aiqing is really bothered!" I also love these women very much, and I believe that all of you Aiqing and I have the same thoughts. Therefore, these nine women will be rewarded for the brave meritorious soldiers on the battlefield! ”

All of a sudden, the ministers had different thoughts!
