On the Qinzheng Palace, King Jiang sat majestically and solemnly in the center of the hall, and his face could not hide his joy. The civil and military officials were headed by Zhang Huaiyan, Li Wei, and Cui Hao, with their heads and eyebrows lowered on both sides, waiting for His Majesty to speak.

The crown prince Jiang Yihong and the king of Anyang, Jiang Yihuan, stood at the head of the civil officials, Jiang Yichen and Jiang Yicheng stood behind them, and the four of them had different expressions and had their own concerns.

"Xuan Yang Jingye, Yang Chengzhi, Yang Jinghe admonish!"

With the announcement of the eunuch, the civil and military officials raised their heads and looked outside the hall, and the eyes of admiration, envy, and jealousy rose one after another.

Yang Jingye took a son and a daughter, neither humble nor arrogant, and walked straight to the front of the hall and knelt down: "See Your Majesty!"

"Aiqing is flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Wang said loudly: "Yang Aiqing defeated the enemy army in Beiliang this time, solved the crisis of our Jiang country, and strengthened the prestige of our country, and his contribution is very great. Yang Chengzhi inherited his father's business, bravely became a pioneer, won the first battle, strengthened my morale, helped his father expel foreign enemies, and was commendable in his bravery. Yang Jinghe's women did not let the women have their eyebrows, eradicated the rebels, supported justice, and their loyalty can be seen. ”

His Royal Highness and the three listened humbly.

After the emperor commended the three people, the eunuch Fan Wenzhong opened the holy decree and preached loudly: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, Yang Jingye bravely resists foreign enemies, is loyal and commendable, and is specially named the general of the town and the country, and the marquis of the north is added." Yang Chengzhi is fierce and resolute, brave and unparalleled, and is a general of the auxiliary country. Yang Jinghe is a heroine, resourceful and unparalleled, and is specially named the county lord of Anguo. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"

After thanking the three of them, they stepped aside and waited.

"In this court crisis, Chen'er and Cheng'er have made meritorious contributions, tell me, what reward do you want?" King Jiang looked at his two sons lovingly.

Jiang Yichen stepped forward and thanked him and said: "As a prince, Erchen has the responsibility to defend my Jiang country.

King Jiang looked at him appreciatively and said: "Chen'er's loyalty is known to his father, but there is still a reward, so let's do it, since you can't think of what reward you want for a while, then think about it slowly, and tell your father when you think of it one day."

"Thank you, Father!"

While they were talking, Yang Jinghe secretly glanced at Jiang Yichen, she was still very curious about this prince who her father highly appreciated and was wholeheartedly loyal to. After just one glance, she was sincerely admired, and sure enough, her aura was magnificent, although her face was sick and weak, it was difficult to hide the royal nobility around him, and she was indeed a dragon among people!

The crown prince Jiang Yicheng on the side saw his father praising Jiang Yichen, his face was full of disdain, he rolled him fiercely, and snorted coldly, Jiang Yihuan heard it, revealing a hint of imperceptible sneer.

"What about you, Cheng'er, what reward do you want?"

Jiang Yicheng said honestly: "Erchen thinks the same as the sixth brother, he doesn't ask for rewards, he just wants my Jiang country to prosper."

King Jiang laughed and said: "This is not good, I have always been rewarded for meritorious service, so let's do it, you have been the king of the county for many years, how about I promoted you to the prince?"

After Jiang Yicheng heard this, he couldn't believe his ears excitedly: "Father Xie!"

"If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you make a mistake, you will be punished!" King Jiang's eyes suddenly became cold: "King Yong's great rebellion, rebellion, his crime should be punished, three days later, he was beheaded at noon, in order to set an example." King Cheng and King Zhou jointly rebelled, and they should have been connected, thinking that they were lost and knew that they had returned, so they spared their lives for the time being, imprisoned the capital, and were not allowed to leave the capital without amnesty. ”

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

King Jiang glanced at Zhang Huaiyan sternly again, Zhang Huaiyan was trembling at this time, and the beads of sweat on his head were already dripping.

"Zhang Huaiyan!"

"The minister is here!" Zhang Huaiyan hurriedly came out of the queue.

"As a prime minister, you are in a high position, and you are in charge of hundreds of officials, you should relieve my worries, but you can't solve the crisis of the court, what crime should you be!"

Zhang Huaiyan knelt down in fear and said, "Weichen is guilty!"

"I will be strict with the punishment chapter for a year, and I will go back and think about it for three months!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Seeing that the emperor did not punish him heavily, Zhang Huaiyan cautiously retreated to the queue and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.

Li Wei stood up in line at the right time and said: "The emperor is wise, the rewards and punishments are clear, and the ministers surrender, this is the luck of our wait, the luck of Jiang Guo!"

King Jiang listened to his compliments and was very useful, "Tonight, I will set up a banquet on the viewing platform to receive the wind and wash the dust for General Yang, and all officials will have a banquet together, and the whole world will celebrate together!" ”

After everyone listened, they all shouted: "Your Majesty is wise, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After the reward and punishment were completed, the hundred officials retreated, Zhang Huaiyan walked in the front with a solemn face, and the other officials walked behind one after another, gathering in groups of three or two to discuss His Majesty's resolution.

Li Wei walked behind, and when he saw Yang Jingye and the three of them coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "General Yang, please wait a moment!"

Yang Jingye stopped, clasped his fists and saluted: "I don't know what the adults command?"

Yang Chengzhi and Yang Jinghe also clasped their fists and saluted Li Wei.

Li Wei smiled and waved his hand: "Don't dare to command, now that General Yang has made a miraculous achievement, I have ordered the mansion to prepare thin wine, catch the wind for the general, and ask General Yang to appreciate his face, and come to the mansion tomorrow!"

"Lord Li's kindness is appreciated by the old man, the old man has just arrived in the capital, and he still needs to rectify military affairs, and I am afraid that many affairs will not be able to get away."

Li Wei thought for a moment and said with a smile: "General Yang has done his best, and this kind of loyalty is admired, since this is the case, then I will make an appointment with the general another day, and then I will ask the general to appreciate his face!"

Yang Jingye didn't answer, and sent Li Wei away with a slight gift.

Yang Jinghe looked at the back of Li Wei leaving and said, "This Li Wei is so impatient to make friends with you."

Yang Jingye had a cold face and did not speak.

"General Yang, long time no see!" At this time, Cui Hao also came to him.

Yang Jingye said politely: "Long time no see, Master Cui."

Cui Hao sighed with emotion: "You and I haven't seen each other for nine years, right?"

"Exactly, it's been nine years."

"I thought that you and I were close friends at the beginning, but then the general was demoted, and this walk was nine years, and now goodbye, it is like a world away. But fortunately, the general has suffered so much, and it is not in vain that he has suffered in the north for so many years. ”

"Master Cui is serious, although the old man left Beijing gloomily, he can stay away from the court and fight and protect the safety of my Jiang country's border in the north, which can be regarded as a good arrangement for our generals."

Cui Hao praised: "General Yang is really the pillar of my Jiang country, even if he is degraded, he will never forget the heart of serving the country, I admire it, just now I saw Master Li talking to the general, I guess he is going to feast the general."

Yang Jingye replied honestly: "Yes, but I have been busy with military affairs recently, so I have already refused."

"Sure enough, I guessed correctly, General Yang has just returned to Beijing, and everything is busy. Even so, I want to be like Lord Li, make an appointment with General Yang, you and I haven't seen each other for many years, and ask the general to take the time to get together at the house. ”

Yang Jingye thought for a while and said, "I'll talk about it when I'm done with this."

Seeing that General Yang rejected Li Wei, but intended to participate in his banquet, Cui Hao was very happy, "Okay, we will make a decision, and I will wait for the general in the mansion." ”

"Hey, it's annoying to go one after another, it's finally our turn!" At this time, Jiang Yichen and Jiang Yicheng, who came out last, came to Yang Jingye, Jiang Yicheng looked at the people who walked away and pouted: "Fortunately, the prime minister didn't play, otherwise we wouldn't be able to talk to General Yang today."

Yang Jingye saw that it was the two princes, so he changed his indifferent attitude just now, and respectfully saluted the two: "Prince!"

Jiang Yichen helped him up: "General Yang doesn't have to be polite."

Yang Chengzhi and Yang Jinghe also followed their father and respectfully saluted: "Lord Wang."

Jiang Yichen nodded and signaled to the two of them to be exempt, and said: "Zhang Huaiyan was fined in the court today, and he was in a bad mood, so it is not surprising that he did not immediately win over General Yang, presumably he will take action in the next two days."

Yang Jinghe said frankly: "My father has always been loyal to the country, and they corrupted the dynasty for their own selfishness, and we will never be their accomplices!"

"Exactly!" Yang Chengzhi continued: "In ancient times, good birds chose trees to perch, when we were in the north, we often heard my father talk about the prince, my father said that the prince is a genius in the sky, with the world in mind, and the end of today will see the prince, it is really extraordinary, the end will surrender, willing to follow the prince, follow the work of dogs and horses."

Jiang Yicheng said happily after hearing this: "Great, with your assistance, I believe that the sixth brother will soon be able to overthrow the two parties and reorganize the dynasty."

Yang Jingye also said excitedly: "What the king of Guangping said is very true, the last general has been at the border for many years, and he has been disheartened with the court, until the prince said that he would return to the court, rectify the dynasty, and rehabilitate General Shen, the last general was excited, I can't imagine that after so many years, the prince will not forget the general's loyal soul, and still think about the general's rehabilitation, the last general will definitely do his best to assist the prince, and return General Shen's innocence as soon as possible!"

Jiang Yichen said with a solemn expression: "Although there is a general to assist, but the two parties of Zhang and Li have deep roots, it is not easy to bring them down, you and I need to plan carefully, now you and I have just returned to the capital, the foundation is unstable, it is not easy to make enemies too early, let them fight among themselves for the time being, we will take the opportunity to accumulate strength." In the past few days, several forces will pull you in, and you will not refuse to come, giving them the impression that your attitude is wavering. ”

Yang Jingye understood: "The last general understands, the more ambiguous my attitude is, the more they feel that there is hope for me to be wooed, so that they will fight more fiercely in order to compete for me, and in this way, the more beneficial it will be for us."

Jiang Yichen nodded slightly in agreement, "Okay, it's not too early, you guys are running all the way, you must be tired, go back and clean up first, there is still a big show to watch at night!" ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!"
