Outside the military formation, a series of horses' hooves broke the silence above the military formation. Sui Liming sat on his horse and galloped forward.

"The subordinates are late, I beg the Third Highness for forgiveness!" Sui Liming saw that Chu Juechen and the others were all in the wind, and immediately stepped forward to apologize.

"No delay, no delay!" After Chu Jiechen saw that Ai was going home, the depression on his face was much less, and he was also very happy in his heart, "The time is just right!" Tidy up and get ready to go! ”

Sui Liming saw that Chu Juechen did not mean to blame, so he thanked Chu Juechen and got on the horse.

Chu Jiechen was very curious when he saw the object tightly wrapped in linen behind Sui Liming's back, so he asked, "What is you carrying behind you?" ”

Sui Liming looked back at the tightly wrapped Flying Wolf Slashing Knife and said, "There are many people here, and I will talk to the Third Highness carefully after returning to the palace!" ”

After hearing this, Chu Juechen tidied up the armor on his body and nodded to Sui Liming.

"The emperor has set up a general platform ten miles outside the city gate, and is preparing a royal banquet to reward all the soldiers!" Sui Liming shouted, "The generals will listen to the order!" Let's go! ”

For a while, the military music remembered that the soldiers marched forward in unison, and the sound of horses' hooves seemed to be a mighty division, a division that often wins.

According to legend, the founding emperor of Qi issued a reward for the generals who laid down the country for himself, and specially set up a point at the city gate ten miles to welcome the triumphant return of the generals, which evolved into the greatest courtesy of the Qi country to the generals, and the founding of the Qi country has been used eight times, this time is the ninth time.

Ten miles away from the city gate, the point general platform has already been arranged, the lanterns are colorful, and the people in the capital also come spontaneously, carrying the food cooked by themselves at home, and handing it to the soldiers who came triumphantly.

Chu Qigong and Bai Yalian sat on the stage, next to them were other concubines and attendants, and hundreds of civil and military officials sat on both sides.

"Thrush~" Qiu Ran anxiously looked for the thrush and shouted loudly.

"I'm here!" Thrush heard Qiu Ran calling her, so she replied loudly, "Downstairs." ”

Qiu Ran heard the sound and looked for it, only to see the thrush standing under the high point of the general, watching the direction of the return of the army.

"Thrush, what are you doing here?!" Qiu Ran walked over quickly and said, "The imperial banquet is about to start!" We're too busy here! ”

"I'm here to watch the canonization of the army!" Thrush said to Qiu Ran, "You go and help, I'll be here in a while." ”

"Oops! Don't look at it, if you don't prepare well, you will have to be killed! Qiu Ran didn't say a word, pulled the thrush and left.

"Don't pull me! The army is coming, just let me take a look! Although the thrush was almost pulled away by Qiu Ran, he still turned his head to look in the direction of the return of the army, and could only see the military flag fluttering in the morning sky.

For a time, the people were noisy, gongs and drums were noisy, and firecrackers rang out.

"The army has arrived! Hundreds of officials kneel! Even the noisy crowd could not hide Fusheng's shrill voice.

Fusheng's voice echoed in the sky, and after a few echoes, everyone present except Chu Qigong and Bai Yalian knelt down one after another.

In order to show his return to the hundred officials, Chu Juechen led everyone to walk five miles away from the Jiangtai, so at this time, Chu Juechen and Sui Liming and the deputy generals all walked to the Jiangtai.

"Zhongqing's family is flat~" Fusheng saw that Chu Juechen and the others had done a hundred officials kneeling down and worshipping the area, and immediately shouted.

"The son-in-law Chu Juechen lived up to his father's high expectations and successfully repelled the enemy army from the Northern Desert." Chu Jiechen led everyone to kneel on the general's platform, "Today, lead the generals to report to their father!" ”

"Good!" Chu Qigong saw that the soldiers of the Qi State were strong and strong, and all the generals were equipped with superb martial arts, after all, they laughed and said: "It is worthy of being the male son of my Chu family, and it is worthy of being a good prince of mine." ”

"Fusheng reads the holy decree!" Chu Qigong turned his head and said to Fusheng.

"Yes!" Fusheng said respectfully to Chu Qigong, and by the way, he took out a scroll of holy decrees written in exquisite brocade silk.

"Zhonghui Wang Chu Jiechen takes the order!" Fusheng spread out the holy decree and said.

"Zhonghui Wang Chu Juechen lived up to my expectations, and lowered the Northern Desert Wolf Army outside the house, and made great contributions to ensure the integrity of the Great Qi land. Chin this! ”

"Erchen Chu Jiechen receives the order!" The sense of touch is very good, but there is a trace of strangeness in the bottom of my heart, why should I give myself a house to live in the palace after the palace?

"Sui Liming took the order~" Fusheng continued to open another volume of brocade silk and said.

"Xiaomin Sui Liming received the order~" Sui Liming immediately stepped forward and knelt down.

The thrush, who was preparing to prepare the imperial banquet behind the stage, felt very strange when he heard Fusheng shouting Sui Liming's name, so he said to Qiu Ran who was on the side: "Sui Liming? The surname Sui is really strange! ”

"Help me bring these plates to my father-in-law in the imperial dining room." Qiu Ran said as he handed the plate to the thrush, "You don't know this!" He's not Han, he's Khitan! ”

"Khitans?" Puzzled, the thrush asked, "Do you know him?" ”

"Not really!" Qiu Ran continued, "The people in the palace know him! He is the personal guard of the Third Highness, and he is very handsome! And it is not sincere and gentle, and the martial arts are high. ”

"Alright! Don't bother with nymphomaniac! Thrush looked at Qiu Ran's spring-hearted appearance, then gently bumped Qiu Ran with his shoulder and said, "Tell me why he is a Khitan?" ”

"I heard that······" Qiu Ran was about to tell the thrush about Sui Liming's life experience when he heard a young father-in-law shouting: "Two aunts, hurry up!" I'm waiting to use it in the dining room! ”

Qiu Ran heard someone urging, and immediately shouted: "Got it!" So he turned to the thrush and said, "It's too late, I'll tell you when I go back to the palace in the evening." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly walked out of the imperial dining room with a plate.

On the stage, after Fusheng read out a plate of holy decrees, his throat was a little dry, so he retreated behind Chu Juechen.

"The Qing family also knows that when the Jiechen led the troops to resist the Northern Desert Wolf Army, and the troops in the capital were empty, there were the remnants of the Liao State who took the opportunity to assassinate me, and Xin Haozhen had loyal people like Qin Zhengyang by his side, so he failed to let the thieves succeed, it is a pity that the Qin Qing family has ······" Chu Qigong said that this was a little choked, Qin Zhengyang grew up with himself since childhood, and he was like a brother, Qin Zhengyang's departure must have been a big blow to Chu Qigong, if he knew that Qin Zhengyang was actually alive, he would definitely be angry to death.

"Therefore, I want to reward the escort today!" Chu Qigong raised his voice and said, "Fusheng, continue to proclaim!" ”

Fusheng cleared his throat, picked up the holy decree on another plate, and continued to read it.

"Tiger General Qin Liumo takes the order!"

"Weichen takes the order!" Qin Liumo stepped forward and knelt down.

"Tiger General Qin Liumo used the courage of ten thousand men to resist more than 200 enemy troops in Ziqianmen with the strength of one person, and stabbed the leader of the enemy army. Today, I will make you the king of the tiger and accept you as a righteous son, and the power of the Great Qi army will be controlled by Aiqing! I hope that Aiqing will live up to the wisdom of her father and mother. ”

"Today, I also gave Aiqing countless gold, silver and jewelry, and I hope that Aiqing will not be able to serve in the future. Chin this. ”

"Weichen Qin Liumo takes the order!" Qin Liumo got up to accept the order.

"Mrs. Changhui Qin Liusu takes the order!" Fusheng opened the second circle of the holy decree and continued to proclaim the decree.

"The retainers take the order!" Qin Liusu stepped forward and knelt down and bowed.

"Mrs. Changhui Qin Liusu, a red armor really reminds me of the women's wife Xiao Yun at that time, today I will give you a red armor, continue to retain the title of Mrs. Changhui, I also ordered you to inherit the title of Mrs. Xiao Yun's women, you can deploy palace soldiers and horses, admire!"

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Qin Liusu took it and stretched out his hand to take the holy decree.

"Miss Qin, the second person in Daqi to have a double bestowal number!"

"Yes! The first person to have the double number was the founding general of the Qi State, and now at least half of the territory of the Great Qi was defeated by him! ”

"Miss Qin is the first woman to receive the double bestow number, what a woman is really not allowed to shave her eyebrows!"

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and they were full of praise for Qin Liusu.

"Fourth Highness Chu Lian receives the order!" Fusheng picked up the last circle of brocade silk and continued to read.

"Erchen Chu Lian takes the order!" Chu Lian stepped forward and knelt down to receive the order.

"The Fourth Highness Chu Lian was the first to discover that the Liao people were about to be assassinated, and he was also the first person to tell me, so Chu Lian was the first to do it. Moreover, when Chu Juechen left Beijing to defend against the enemy, he took over various things in the DPRK and China, and handled them properly, which shows his talent in governing the country. Now I will leave all the affairs of the capital to you, and I hope that my four sons will not waste all their efforts for their father. Chin this. ”

"The retainers take the order!" Chu Lian took the holy decree with a sinister smile on his face.

"What? Teaching all the affairs of the capital to the four highnesses? ”

"What is he! I knew that the capital had always been in charge of the Third Highness, what was the emperor going to do? ”

"Your Majesty, this is clearly letting His Royal Highness the Third Highness be the crown prince!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was in an uproar.

"That's right!" The audience said, "The affairs of the capital have always been handled by the three palaces, and the emperor handed over the affairs of the capital to the four highnesses this time, understanding that he wants the three highnesses to make time to concentrate on learning how to govern the country with the emperor!" ”

"That's right, His Royal Highness deserves to be the prince of this Great Qi!" Another chimed in.

"Yes! Among so many princes of Daqi, only the Third Highness is qualified to be this prince! ”

The discussions of everyone in the audience were heard word by word by Chu Qigong.

It seems that he has a great prestige among the people, and he really has some high merit! Chu Qigong thought to himself, and his face became a little ugly.

"The father and the emperor's children have something to ask for!" Chu Lian took the holy decree and did not leave immediately, but stepped forward and continued.

"What's the matter with you?" Chu Qigong saw that Chu Lian had something to talk about, and asked.

"Erchen doesn't want to stay in the capital?" Chu Lian said.

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar. This Chu Lian dared to disobey the emperor's will. It seems that today's banquet did not come in vain, and one by one the hearts of people were lifted.

"Why don't you stay in the capital?" Chu Qigong asked puzzled.

"Erchen heard that the county lord of the northern county is very old, and he has already written to his father and wants to return to his hometown. My father always felt that no one in the court could take on this position, so he never gave permission. Chu Lian explained, "Erchen wants Mao Sui to recommend himself today, and recommend himself to go to the northern county to be the lord of the northern county!" ”
