On July 22, Su Jinli and his entourage led the army to return to Beijing in the gratitude of the people of Qingzhou.

From the departure of the post station to the exit of the Qingzhou city gate, both sides of the road were full of people kneeling to see them off.

No matter how much they tried to persuade them, the people would not get up.

After a long stalemate, they finally had no choice but to accept the people's bowing, and only ordered the army to quickly get out of Qingzhou.

When they were about to step out of the gate of Qingzhou, the people who came to see them off shed tears.

Listening to the soft sobs in their ears, a trace of sadness also floated in their hearts.

"Stop!" Su Jinli, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly ordered.

"Phew!" The carriage stopped, and so did the procession behind it.

"Li'er?" Gu Mingjue rode his horse and walked quickly to the carriage and asked.

As soon as the words fell, Su Jinli lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage with the support of Butterfly Charm.

"It's nothing, I just want to say goodbye to them!" She looked at the people who were prostrate on the ground with mournful eyes.

Even if you want to leave, you should also say goodbye to them.

Hearing this, Gu Mingjue bowed his head slightly, and then rode his horse to make way for her.

"Brother Sanhuang, Ming Jue, Song Shizi and the generals, let's go up to the city tower together!" She said leisurely.

If they say goodbye here, then only the people who are close to them can see and hear.

Only by going up to the tall buildings can all the people gathered near the city gate see them.

"Hmm!" Everyone bowed their heads in unison.

Then they walked together to the castle tower.

After a few glances, they and their group stood on top of the city tower, and after glancing at each other, several people tacitly decided that Gu Mingyan would say goodbye to the people of Qingzhou instead of everyone.

Gu Mingyan, as in the past, had a gentle smile on the corner of his lips, stepped forward, and quietly looked at the people and the army under the city tower.

"The feast that is not dispersed in the world, I and my seventh brother and wife, as well as Song Shizi and the 110,000 Su family army were ordered by the king, to come to Qingzhou to quell the war and rebuild your homeland, now, the traitors have been removed, the homeland has been built, and the food has been distributed to you according to the population, and it is time for us to return to Beijing to restore our lives!" He said aloud, with a gentle and elegant expression on his face.

Because when he spoke, Gu Mingjue secretly used his internal force, so his voice clearly reached the ears of everyone present at this moment.

His words were both reasonable and reasonable, and although the people were a little relieved after hearing them, they were still a little unhappy in their hearts.

Therefore, he continued: "It is a blessing for our group to be able to live with simple, kind and hardworking people like you for so long! We firmly believe that Qingzhou, which is rebuilt after the disaster, will become more and more prosperous and rich in your hands! ”

After a pause, he said again: "There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, and I always believe that our group is fated to Qingzhou and each of you!" We'll see you again in the future! Since we will see you again, why let sorrow disturb our minds? The big guys are happily returning home, so that they can prepare for the autumn ploughing! ”

As soon as he said that, all the people responded one after another, and although they were still full of tears, their expressions were much better.

Everyone said in unison: "Thank you for your persuasion!" Here, I would like to send off the Third Highness, the Seventh Highness, the Seventh Princess, the Song Shizi and all the Su family soldiers! ”

After speaking, everyone knelt down together, although there was still sorrow in the breath revealed by them, but it was more firm and expected for the future.

Seeing this, Gu Mingyan, Su Jinli and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and then several people said in unison: "Qingzhou, goodbye!"

With that, they descended the tower together and quickly departed with all the reluctance and infinite blessings of the people.

……

On the fifth day of the eighth month, Gu Mingyan and Gu Mingjue, who had been away from Beijing for three months, finally returned to Beijing with Su Jinli and others, who had arrived late.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, they saw Baiguan standing in a circle, and when they were puzzled, they saw Changde and Zhang Ge Lao coming up.

"The slave (Weichen) welcomes the triumphant return of the two highnesses with the Seven Imperial Princesses and the Song Shizi!" The two of them bowed and bowed.

Then, the rest of the officials also saluted in unison.

"Flat!" Gu Mingyan raised his hand elegantly and without losing his momentum.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" The crowd sang in unison.

After that, he bowed again before he got up.

Chang De is accustomed to observing words and feelings, how could he not see the doubts in the depths of Su Jinli and the others' eyes, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Highness, it was Your Majesty who issued a holy decree this morning and ordered hundreds of officials to come to greet him!"

Hearing this, Su Jinli, Gu Mingyan and the others all stared.

This is unusual, Emperor Yongli would actually order hundreds of officials to come to greet him......

This is the first time that Emperor Yongli has come!

"Since receiving the news of your return to Beijing, Your Majesty has often been thinking about it, if it weren't for the lack of health, Your Majesty would have planned to drive it himself!" Changde continued to laugh.

He is the person who serves Emperor Yongli closely, and he knows Emperor Yongli's preferences clearly, and Emperor Yongli's attitude towards these two highnesses and the seven princesses has changed, and he has a full view, and he is very respectful to these people at the moment.

As soon as the words fell, Gu Mingyan's expression darkened, and he said ashamedly: "It's the son's son who is wrong, Father Lao is worried!"

"Your Highness is serious!" Changde hurriedly answered.

Gu Mingyan smiled reluctantly, and then he was speechless.

Seeing this, Chang De's eyes flickered, and he hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Majesty orders you to enter the palace immediately to meet you!" As for the other generals and soldiers, he will hold a feast tomorrow and reward them lavishly! ”

Since it was Emperor Yongli's words, Gu Mingyan and the others did not dare to have an opinion, so they hurriedly saluted together: "Sons and daughters-in-law (daughters-in-law, Weichen) obey the will!"

After that, Gu Mingjue, the actual commander of the Su family's army, turned around and walked in front of the army, and said loudly: "Today, we will be stationed in the Su family's military camp!" Tomorrow Your Majesty will hold a feast and treat you personally! ”

Hearing this, all the soldiers looked overjoyed, and said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Serving the country is their duty as military generals, and they are all good sons who are determined to serve the country with their bodies, but they are also eager to make contributions or be appreciated by the emperor for this!

Now, when they heard that Emperor Yongli would personally reward them, they were ecstatic, and their efforts were seen by the emperor!

Then, with a wave of Gu Mingjue's hand, they marched towards the camp in an orderly manner.

After seeing the army leave, Gu Mingjue, Su Jinli and the others entered Kyoto through the hundred officials, and got into the Luan car that had been prepared for them in the palace long ago.

After more than an hour, the few of them finally arrived at the gate of the majestic and magnificent palace, and because Emperor Yongli was concerned about them, he allowed them to take a carriage directly to the imperial study to meet them.

So, they soon arrived at the door of the imperial study.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, Changde hurriedly walked in front of them and said, "The old slave will go in first to report, and please wait here for a while!"

The imperial study is the place where Emperor Yongli deals with government affairs, and it is heavily guarded, but it is not a place where you can enter if you want to.

Those who come to the audience must be notified by the eunuchs guarding the door, and Emperor Yongli can only enter after making a decree, so they naturally can't break the rules.

"There is Father-in-law Lao!" Gu Mingyan arched his hand and smiled.

The matter of the report can be reported by the little eunuch guarding the door, Chang De, as the chief eunuch of his father's most trusted eunuch, can be regarded as self-depreciation by doing this.

Thinking about it, it should be because his father and emperor pay enough attention to them now, and Changde will personally report it.

Although Changde's move is suspected of currying favor with them, they still have to respect Changde as the person who represents Emperor Yongli.

"The Third Highness can torture the old slave!" Changde hurriedly said.

Having said that, he didn't have the slightest fear on his face, but smiled with his eyebrows, obviously, Gu Mingyan's move was very popular with him.

After finishing speaking, Changde turned around and entered the imperial study.

Less leaning, Chang De personally ran out again, shook the dust and said loudly: "The third prince of Xuan, the seventh prince, the seventh princess, and the prince of Anguo are here!"

Su Jinli and the others hurriedly saluted and received the order, and then followed Changde and walked quickly into the imperial study.

After passing through a few small doors, they really entered the main hall used by Emperor Yongli to deal with government affairs.

As soon as they entered, they saw Emperor Yongli, who had lost some weight, looking at them with moist eyes.

They hurriedly quickened their pace, and after Changde reported to Emperor Yongli, they knelt down and saluted together: "Sons and daughters-in-law (daughters-in-law, micro-ministers) knock on their fathers (emperors), long live your majesty!"

Hearing this, Emperor Yongli actually stood up and said in a trembling voice: "Hurry up and flatten down!"

Changde has always looked at Emperor Yongli's face, and when he saw Emperor Yongli like this, he hurriedly walked to Gu Mingyan and the others and personally helped them up.

"Throne!" Emperor Yongli raised his hand.

As soon as the words fell, the little eunuchs who were waiting on the side brought chairs to Su Jinli and the others.

After they sat down, Emperor Yongli's face calmed down a little, but the excitement and joy in his heart could still be glimpsed in the dragon eyes of his former prestige.

"It's hard for you to go to Qingzhou!" He looked at Gu Mingyan with a soft gaze.

Where did Gu Mingyan and the others dare to be appreciated by Emperor Yongli, and hurriedly said humbly: "Father (Your Majesty) is serious!"

"That's it! Qingzhou is dangerous, I know it! Why do you say these humble words? I said you worked hard, you just worked hard! Emperor Yongli raised his eyebrows with some displeasure.

Su Jinli and the others looked at each other, and somehow provoked Emperor Yongli to dislike it, so they had to respond in unison: "Your Majesty is right!"

Emperor Yongli: "......"

He was annoyed that they were so polite to him, but when they were annoyed, their answers became more cautious!

Taking a deep breath, Emperor Yongli said: "You have made great contributions to pacifying Qingzhou this time, and I will definitely reward you according to your merits!"

Su Jinli was stunned, this ...... He said "reward" instead of "reward", did he want to add officials to them?

Although their hearts turned back and forth, on their faces, they were still solemn and calm, and saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

Listening to their detached and polite words, Emperor Yongli's eyes quickly swept through the depths of his heart, a trace of almost invisible wounds.
