At the beginning of February, the army arrived in Beijing, and the people of the capital greeted each other for ten miles, and after this big battle, the Huizhi people would not come again for at least three or five years. Although the people all know that they will win, but until the day of winning, no one knows what the exhibition will become, I remember that two years after Prince Ke went, an ordinary war was fought for three years, and the whole Jing Dynasty was in a downturn.

Xiao Yongye spent several months of work to defeat the Hui Yi people, which undoubtedly gave the people a good reassurance. The emperor was also very happy, often saw the court officials personally greeted each other at the city gate, and the clan had already received the emperor's order, and had already prepared the will of the generals to reward them, just waiting for the army to arrive, in front of the people, not only inspiring, but also told everyone in the world that the Jing Dynasty would never treat the meritorious people badly.

Gu Yange sat in the carriage, looking at the city gate from a distance, and suddenly realized that he didn't want to come back at all, when he was in Jialin, he always felt that every day was full of sunshine, and as soon as he saw the gate of the capital, he felt that his mood was dark with the weather, "Fu Shu, we still have to go back to the house!" ”

"Master, naturally yes, but you can go to the palace to live for a few days first, no one can stop you." Suggestions were made appropriately.

When Gu Yange heard this, he smiled: "Okay, then let's go back to the palace with the prince brother later, and when the time comes, we will say that we miss the queen mother, stay in the palace for a few more days, and then make plans when the will comes down." ”

Gu Yange looked up, the soldiers and horses of the brigade had already been disbanded outside the city, and Xiao Yongye only led a cadre of generals and thousands of clan disciples to arrive at the city gate in bright clothes. The car stopped at this time, Gu Yange saw Xiao Yongye turn over and dismount, Gu Yange also hurriedly got off the carriage, the prince looked back at her, and she hurriedly followed.

As soon as the prince and Gu Yange arrived, the prince took the lead, and the others knelt, while Xiao Yongye shouted loudly: "Minister, Xiao Yongye, live up to the emperor's grace and return victoriously with the army." The minister asked the emperor to review the three armies and reward and punish the merits. ”

Xiao Yongye's words are actually clichés, but today they sound different in everyone's ears.

The clan relatives still remembered that when they were going to reward Xie Junrui, the emperor frowned fiercely, and almost tore up the holy decree, but the emperor still endured it, picked up the seal and threw the holy decree out without looking at it.

The emperor personally helped Xiao Shuiye up, and said with a smile on his red face: "It's hard for General Xiao, I have a general like General Xiao in the Jing Dynasty, why worry about the world being uneasy, why worry about the uncertainties of the country." Come on, Cheng Jiu Teng wants to drink three glasses with General Xiao first. ”

"One cup, the three armies of the ministers drink, two cups of sacrifice to the souls of the heroes who died on the battlefield, three cups of ministers to respect the emperor, with the emperor's holy grace, the three armies can return victoriously and return the world to peace." After Xiao Yongye raised his glass and drank it down, he knelt down again and handed the handsome order back to the emperor's hands with his own hands, so he was a person with no duties and no power.

The soldiers sang, singing loudly "with the son", the scene was shocking, Gu Yange looked up, the entire city gate, full of rough and deep sounds, rising from the ground and straight into the sky. A row of swallows returning from spring flew in the sky, the scene was peaceful and beautiful, Gu Yange couldn't help but think, if a flock of white doves were released at this time, it would definitely be very appropriate.

After drinking, the reward begins, and the reward is given in public, and it will be done for the world to see, and it will naturally be rewarded generously: "Second-class Jingwei Gong Xiao Yongye heard it, Jingwei Gong Yongye, brave and mighty, led the three armies Chen Bian...... Now he is crowned as a first-class Yasukuni Gong, and his mother is named Mrs. Cheng'an"

"Minister, Xiao Yongye is grateful."

In fact, everyone understands that Xiao Yongye's merits have long been a foregone conclusion, but it seems that the emperor still wants to keep Xiao Yongye to fight. The next rewards are naturally heavier than the other, and most of them have been promoted several levels in a row, like Xiao Yongye, who has only been promoted by one level, has never appeared again at all.

After exchanging a few generals, it was Xie Junrui's turn: "Huai'an waits for the eldest son Xie Junrui...... Meritorious ...... Seal the third class Wei Qihou ......"

Xie Junrui's reward has not yet been read, under Gu Cizhuang's signal, the pro-noble children shouted first, and the pro-noble children shouted, and the generals who had just received the reward knelt down again with the holy decree: "The ministers please ask the emperor to be clear, Xie Duping is so rewarded, it is ...... unfair."

The emperor actually knew about this matter for a long time, but today the emperor wanted to use this matter to knock Jinzhou Hou, who returned to Beijing earlier than Xiao Yongye, so the emperor already had an idea about this matter today. The emperor asked in surprise, and the relatives and children rushed forward to answer, Gu Cizhuang was the most bad, and he didn't speak in the back, and when the emperor asked him, Yang Da sighed, and then only said one sentence with tears in his eyes: "Uncle Wang, the nephew didn't take care of Sister Yan, and let Sister Yan suffer!" ”

Gu Cizhuang's sensational cry made several other generals who had followed Prince Ke into tears. The emperor also looked up to the sky when he saw it, and said for a long time: "Brother Ge Wang, I am ashamed of you!" You personally handed over the wild goose to me and let me take good care of it, but I didn't expect me to marry the wild goose to such a bastard thing! ”

Gu Yange had already knelt on the ground, and at this time he suddenly raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, the sons are not bitter, the Xie family in Jinzhou is a family of meritorious deeds for generations, and the power is in the world. ”

Gu Yan Gexin said, Your Majesty, if you give me a step, then I will give you a step, Heng Zhu Jinzhou Hou will not dare to do anything with her, and this time it will only be anxious, how can I have time to deal with her.

When the emperor heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly helped Gu Yange up, and said earnestly: "Yan'er, it was I who didn't know anyone at the beginning, and I missed your good years." ”

"If the emperor is the emperor, he was originally married to his son, but his son's knowledge is shallow." Gu Yange lowered his head at the right time, wiped his non-existent tears with a handkerchief, and said in his heart that his current weakness should be half a point worse than Jiang Xingyu.

Here, the emperor and Gu Yange were acting in the play of the king's bency and niece, and Gu Cizhuang began to spread the word to the surrounding people, these bastards are not ordinary people in the capital, and they are not a lot of people listening to a word. As soon as it was spread from ten to hundred, all of a sudden, the people were provoked by people with good intentions, and they suddenly became angry, shouting loudly to kill Xie Junrui and vent their anger to Gu Yange.

Gu Cizhuang raised his eyes, Lao Liu turned his face to the side, and Comrade Lao Bai said to the side: "Heli!" ”

So gradually the voices of Heli increased, but Gu Cizhuang didn't dare to let too many people shout like this, for fear of forcing the emperor to be anxious, and he was also afraid that Jinzhou Hou, who was in the city, would jump out of the city. It's not appropriate to overestimate it now, for fear that the people will be excited, and if it really touches the vital interests of Jinzhouhou, Jinzhouhou will not be able to sit still. At this time, it is the time to abandon the car and protect the handsome, this car ...... Let's abandon it first!

The emperor looked at the things happening next to him, suddenly glanced at Gu Cizhuang, and then laughed out loud, his nephew still has merit, at least he is smart and knows how to handle it. It seems that in the future, there can be more support and support, in this regard, Gu Cizhuang is stronger than King Rui, bastard...... The ability to read people's faces is top-notch. The emperor raised his hand, and the imperial army immediately cleared the field, and the people quieted down, and the emperor shouted loudly: "Lian retracts the will of Xie Junrui, although the holy decree has been issued, and it will never be withdrawn, but today I am willing to receive it for the spirit of King Ke in the sky, Brother King Ke...... I'm sorry for you! ”

Gu Yange watched quietly from the side and smiled, the emperor's move to win people's hearts was very well done, and it was not very disgusting. Gu Yange couldn't help but look sideways at Xiao Yongye at this time, Xiao Yongye was standing in the wind, she didn't know why she wanted to look at Xiao Yongye at this time, but she just moved in her heart for a moment, and she just looked at it like this.

Fortunately, Gu Yange also remembered that this was outside the city, how many pairs of eyes were staring, and Xiao Yongye was also a little distracted in this look, quickly gathered his mind, and listened to the next reward. And Xie Junrui was put aside by the emperor first, rewarded and punished, and the punishment would not enter the Xuan until after the reward.

At this time, Xie Junrui was already trembling with fright, Xie Junrui actually looked at Gu Yange from time to time, thinking that Gu Yange would help him speak like before. But seeing Gu Yange glanced coldly a few times, he smiled extremely brightly, but it only made people feel cold. As for Jiang Xingyu, at this time, he didn't pounce on him like before, saying touching words, but he was already so frightened that his face turned pale and he knelt on the ground and didn't rush. The man who has been proud for more than ten years now finally understands that he has the potential to push everything he is proud of.

Gu Yange was invited by the prince to go to the palace to "recuperate" for a few days, and the close Yang Mama and Jingzhu also followed back to the palace to wait, Gu Yange also lived in Qinghuan Palace, and the princes and princesses took turns to greet them, all of them with pity. Gu Yange listened with a smile and didn't speak, the fifth princess was the most hot, and she listened patiently to the nobles after finishing speaking, and then she went to the emperor noisily.

The emperor did not reprimand, but followed the words of the fifth princess, and completely used the five princesses' temperament to be high. Gu Yange just laughed when he heard this, it seems that the emperor really thinks that he has done something to Jinzhou Hou, and he is only afraid that the Jinzhou Hou Mansion is now guarded by the three layers inside and the three layers outside.

When he came back, he didn't see King Chen, and Gu Yange only remembered at this time: "Xiao Wu, what about King Chen, shouldn't he stay in the capital?" ”

"Brother Chen, I went to Jindu Qizhou, I don't know what my father sent Brother Chen to do in such a barbarian land, I heard that all the southern barbarians there are like goblins, how can my father let Brother Chen go to such a place." The fifth princess replied nonchalantly.

Gu Yange smiled, and when Jinzhou Hou returned to Beijing to report on his work, he took the sword of Kuoke Banner to assassinate Jinzhou Hou, and the army that had just returned from the border pass was still stationed outside the city, at this time, it would be up to the emperor and Jinzhou Hou to fight. How they fight, she doesn't care about the moment, as long as she is given freedom, it is enough.
