Seven days later, the gate of Shangjing City was opened, and the merchants and hawkers who passed by put down their affairs and gathered on both sides of the street to watch.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" A curious person passed by and asked about the lively scene of crowds on the street and the Imperial Guards maintaining order.

"You don't know, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, Chen Xianzhong, the old marshal, knows, and the nine princes who were named the god of war in the Battle of Longan also know it.

Today is the day when they escort the Turkic prince back to Beijing, and everyone wants to see what they look like, and they also want to see what the Turkic prince looks like, after all, this is not something that can be seen often. ”

The passer-by suddenly realized: "I see, that really has to be a good look." ”

"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming." The peddler excitedly pointed to the shadows in the distance, and as he followed his fingers, the army quickly passed through the city gate to reveal his true identity:

Riding a tall horse, wearing a white battle armor, and the corners of his mouth were not angry, it was Marshal Chen, and he was wearing black armor on his right side, and it was Qi Yu, the ninth prince, who was arrogant.

Looking further back, there was a tall man locked in the wide prisoner cart in the middle, guarded by three soldiers on the left and right, and the people along the road did not dare to throw some eggs and cabbage stalks at will, for fear of accidentally injuring the soldiers.

The people along the road shouted slogans such as "Marshal Chen's Great Hero", "Nine Princes' God of War is a True Hero", and "The Soldiers of the Long Army are mighty".

Besides, this Qi Yu, he didn't do anything in Shangjing for the past seven days, so he went freely with Shen Dagongzi.

Eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling and playing are very happy, and Shen Feinan, a friend of wine and meat, is quite friendly.

However, Qi Yu still knows the general situation, and last night took advantage of the empty guard at night, and immediately rushed to meet Chen Xianzhong.

Qi Yu sat on horseback, looking at the beautiful women and little girls below who welcomed him, and his heart was really happy.

Picking the phoenix eyes, he showed a smile that he thought was extremely angry, and the screams of the girls and young women under the fan suddenly rose several tones.

Chen Xianzhong turned his head and saw his apprentice "scratching his head and making a pose", "obstructing the view", and "as if the peacock was opening the screen", so he didn't get angry and glared at him vigorously.

Qi Yu Yuguang skimmed the master's "fierce" appearance, and his heart trembled for a while, the skin that had just been whipped by the master last night was opened, and there was still a little shadow in his heart today, so he smiled stupidly, and obediently rode his horse to the palace......

Above the court, Qi Yu stood quietly behind the master, and the ministers around him didn't know what they were talking about in a whisper, until the emperor sitting on the dragon chair spoke, and the scene was quiet:

"Marshal Chen Xianzhong has dedicated his life to my Long Dynasty and made great achievements, this battle of Longan, you are the main general, brave and strategic, forced back the Turkic Xianbei army, and gave a gold medal to avoid death, 10,000 taels of gold, and the official was added as a product!"

"Thank you, Lord Longne!"

"Nine princes Qi Yu as a vanguard, the size of the sixteen battles invincible, the battle is invincible, in fact, I am a good man of the Long Dynasty, the hussar general, the official seal from the first product, added as the prince, the title Jing, give Tianshan Snow Lotus a piece, a thousand taels of gold!"

As soon as this decree came out, the Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar, and it is not enough to talk about Marshal Chen's life for the country to receive this gift, but the nine princes have just reached the age of the crown, but a battle was put on the altar, and the name of the military general was awarded a product, which is the first time since the founding of Dalong.

Qi Yu didn't think so much, and replied loudly: "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”

The emperor spoke again: "This time, the Turkic prince was captured alive and taken back to Beijing, do the Qing family have any opinions on how to deal with this matter in the future?" ”

Chang Du, the prefect of Jinling, stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this Turkic attack is completely not in the eyes of my Dalong, it is better to kill this Turkic prince and promote the prestige of my Dalong." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Shuling Xu Tao opened his mouth lightly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate."

In the past three years of war, the treasury is empty, the people are not living, if the killing of the Turkic prince does not have a deterrent effect, and the Turks hate to fight back again, who can pay this responsibility! It is the best policy to stop the war and negotiate peace. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers of the DPRK and China responded one after another.

Xu Tao squinted at Chang Du and smiled at the corners of his mouth.

"Then listen to Xu Qing's family."

"The Emperor is Wise~"

Next is some of the year-end reports of other courtiers, Qi Yu listened in a daze, fortunately he didn't listen, Yu Guang swept around the court, and finally saw Qi Zhen in the lower left corner.

He was dressed in a green robe and stood quietly in the corner, Qi Yu didn't know the grade and color of the official uniform, just looking at the position, he knew that the fourth brother should not be taken seriously.

But the fourth brother is the fourth brother, what he wears and stands wherever he looks gentle and gentle, and he is a few degrees more elegant than the minister next to him, and sure enough, the wind and bones have nothing to do with the grade.

Qi Zhen was listening to the official report of the Ministry of Rites, and suddenly felt a gaze fall on him, and looked, it turned out that Qi Yu was squeezing his eyebrows at him behind Marshal Chen, looking very funny,

Before he could laugh, he saw the marshal twist Qi Yu's arm with his back hand, and suddenly the expression on Qi Yu's face was even more exciting.

Qi Zhen laughed at his childish nature, but suddenly saw the black spots on the inner lining of Qi Yu's battle armor, and when he looked closely, it was actually bloodstains! Suddenly, his heart tightened, his ninth brother, who was stubborn and big-hearted since he was a child, dared to do things that ordinary people did not dare to do, so he was often scarred.

I thought that the past ten years in the army would sharpen his temperament, but I never thought that without the restraints of etiquette in the palace, he was getting more and more bold, and it was just a matter of not observing etiquette in the army before.

As soon as he retreated, Qi Yu rushed to Qi Zhen's side: "Fourth brother, are you feeling better?" ”

"No problem."

Qi Yu secretly glanced at Qi Zhen, thinking that he was fine in the court just now, why did he suddenly turn cold and angry? What are you angry about? Strange and strange: "What's wrong with the fourth brother?" ”

"Nope."

"His Royal Highness King Jing, His Royal Highness King Jing!" Qi Yu still wanted to say something, but the voice behind him was getting closer and closer, Qi Yu just wanted to ask who His Royal Highness King Jing was, and suddenly remembered, oh, it's himself, just sealed......

"His Royal Highness King Jing, the emperor is invited." Gonggong Li stopped in front of Qi Yu and bent down to salute.

Qi Yu didn't speak yet, but Qi Zhen opened his mouth first: "Father-in-law, do you know what the emperor is looking for His Royal Highness King Jing?" ”

"Ouch, the emperor's mind is what our servants want to know, His Royal Highness King Jing, please."

Qi Yu didn't expect the emperor to summon him so soon, he had left the palace since he was nine years old to worship in the army, and the rules in the palace had long been forgotten, and he was a little hesitant for a while.

"Then I'll go with King Jing."

"Fourth prince, the emperor said that only King Jing will be summoned, and please King Jing as soon as possible, don't let the emperor wait in a hurry." Gonggong Li smiled.

Qi Yu looked at Qi Zhen: "Then the fourth brother will go back first, and I will look for you later." Then he turned around and followed his father-in-law into the palace gate.

Qi Zhen frowned and stood in place for a while, until Qi Yu's back disappeared, and then slowly left......

In the imperial garden, Qi Yu followed behind the emperor:

"Xiao Jiu, you haven't been in the palace for ten years, right?" Huang Shangyao said while pacing and admiring the flowers: "The red plum blossoms in this imperial garden this year are very beautiful, I still remember that Xiao Jiu, you liked plum blossoms the most when you were young." ”

"Plum blossoms are like snow, snow is like plum blossoms, similar and unlike, all of them are a must."

Qi Yu smiled and said: "Brother Chen likes plum blossoms because the colder it is, the more it blooms, and the ice is clear and jade, and it is not as delicate as other flowers." The yellow sand outside the plug is all over the sky, and there is not even grass, not to mention this flower, since the age of nine, the younger brother has seen this beautiful scenery for the first time today. ”

"Can Xiao Jiu blame the first emperor? Is it strange that you have not been allowed to set foot in the palace for ten years? ”

"Brother Dare." Qi Yu lowered his head and clenched his fists: How can it not be blamed, what were the other princes doing when they were nine years old? In this palace, enjoy the flowers and the moon, walk the birds leisurely, and grow up happily.

And what about him? But he worshiped in the military tent, guarded the border pass outside the bitter cold of the yellow sand, and there was no close person around him, he practiced martial arts every day and was injured every day, watching one soldier after another die on the battlefield around him.

How could he not blame him, but what was even more strange about him was that his father did not call him back to the palace to mourn when he died, obviously the people who favored him so much before did not want to look at him until he died, it was really unfathomable.

Qi Yao Yuguang saw Qi Yu's small movements, sighed and said, "You used to be a straightforward person who couldn't hide your emotions, but now you haven't changed at all." I know that you have anger in your heart, but you need to know that the first emperor abandoned you as a last resort. ”

"Yes."

Qi Yao turned to look at him: "Xiao Jiu, if there is no one around in the future, you don't have to restrain yourself in front of me, and you still call me eldest brother like before, okay?" ”

Qi Yu was stunned, his eyes suddenly moistened, and he returned: "Okay." ”

Qi Yu's mother went early, she grew up with Qi Yao in the queen's palace since she was a child, Qi Yao was thirteen years older than him, she was stable and introverted, but she took special care of his younger brother.

Qi Yu was in trouble when he was a child, and Qi Yao solved it privately for him, he was afraid of the dark at night, so Qi Yao pulled the quilt and hugged him to sleep, for this younger brother, Qi Yao was really concerned.

At that time, Qi Yu always liked to follow Qi Yao's ass and shout big brother again and again, but since Qi Yu left, the two of them have never been in touch, Qi Yu thought that the eldest brother was the emperor and had long forgotten his younger brother, otherwise he would not have been in contact with him for ten years, but he didn't expect that the eldest brother hadn't forgotten.

"It's all generals, and they're still children. Yesterday, Rudong was still pestering me to see what the god of war looks like, what, do I want to tell Rudong that the god of war loves to cry nose? ”

"Big brother, I didn't cry." Qi Yu laughed amusedly: "What about the little nephew?" ”

"Hey, that's the one in the pavilion in front. Let's go, let him meet you, little uncle. ”

Approaching the pavilion, the little boy in front of him turned his back to them and didn't know what he was tossing, and the beautiful woman in the brocade dress next to him was looking at him with a smile.

When the palace maids beside him saw the emperor coming, they saluted one after another: "See the emperor." ”

At this time, the woman and the boy reacted, and hurriedly held hands and asked the emperor for peace: "The concubine asks for peace for the emperor." "Father... The son asked his father to say goodbye. ”

Qi Yao waved his hand: "You all stand down." When the palace maids heard this, they left one after another.

"This must be the Nine Princes, and he is really suave, and the jade tree is in the wind." The woman smiled at him, and the smile made her whole countenance even more beautiful.

"The concubine has a good reputation, I have heard that the concubine is beautiful and compelling, and when I see it today, the name is well deserved, it is really bright and gorgeous."

The smile on the concubine's face deepened, and she pulled the boy next to her: "Rudong, haven't you always wanted to see what your ninth uncle looks like?" ”

The little boy looked at the emperor and then at the woman, as if he was a little afraid. Qi Yu squatted down and said with a smile: "Come, Uncle Nine will let you see enough." ”

The little boy took two steps forward and looked him up and down: "Why don't you have a big beard, you are not that tall, and your eyes are not like cow's eyes." ”

"Why would Xiao Rudong ask that?" Qi Yu said curiously.

"I've heard them say that the god of war has eyes as big as brass bells, is nine feet tall, and has a full beard, which is very scary. But you didn't. ”

"Eh~ Is it okay for Uncle Nine to put on a beard next time."

"It's not good, it's good that Rudong will be scared like that." The little boy said to Qi Yu seriously, causing everyone to laugh.

The boy secretly looked at the emperor and smiled, and laughed happily himself.

Qi Yu picked up Rudong and sat at the table, Xiao Rudong would poke his face for a while, and squeeze his fists for a while, having a lot of fun. The emperor and the concubine looked at each other and smiled, poured and drank each other, and the scene was extraordinarily harmonious.
