When Zhao Shuao and his entourage returned to Jingzhao, there were still ten days left before the New Year.

At this time, Jingzhao is full of New Year's atmosphere.

The streets were lit up, the vendors were more frequent, and the people who entered and exited the city gates had more smiles on their faces.

Jingzhao is the capital of the country, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and is the most prosperous place of the dynasty.

This prosperity will reach its peak in the old age.

Zhou Yucheng, the deputy head of the Wu Pavilion, led the gentlemen and soldiers who stayed behind, and went out to greet Zhao Shuao and their return.

Although there were many appalling things in Shannan Dao, even General Shannanwei had been escorted to Jingzhao before.

However, Wu Ge has made great contributions in Shannan Province this time.

His Royal Highness Changding led the soldiers of Changding and the soldiers of Wuge to wipe out the bandits in Shannan Province, which is a great achievement.

In addition, Mr. Guo and Mr. Liu's team also performed well, capturing the bandits in Tongyunzhai and seizing privately made arrowheads.

This time Shannan Road suppressed bandits, Wuge can be said to have returned with honor.

How can this not be exciting?

As early as two or three days ago, the people of the Martial Pavilion were preparing to meet them.

Zhou Yucheng was responsible for escorting Ling Hanxiao back to Jingzhao ahead of schedule, Xu because he was escorted by soldiers at the rate of Changding, and Xu was that the Shannan guards would not dare to make any changes, and his return journey was extremely smooth.

Ling Hanxiao has been successfully handed over to the Third Division, and the rest has nothing to do with Wu Ge.

The biggest thing for the Martial Pavilion now is to welcome the return of the Pavilion Master.

As I said before, this time the Wuge suppressed the bandits, which attracted the attention of the government and the opposition.

In particular, after the incident of the armory and Ling Hanxiao in Shannan Road, the court officials' attention to Wuge was unprecedented.

How will the imperial court deal with Ling Hanxiao, and what will happen to the Tongyunzhai Armory-these major events related to the situation in the imperial court will have no results for a while.

But there is one thing that will come to fruition quickly, and that is ...... The leader of the martial arts!

Everyone remembers that the battle of the leader was the actual battle of Shannan Province to suppress bandits.

Now that Wu Ge has returned from Shannan Road, is there a result in the actual battle against bandits this time?

In other words, has Yongning's five-year martial arts leader been decided?

As soon as Zhao Shuao returned to Jingzhao, after only a brief rest, he immediately entered the palace to meet Emperor Yongning.

As he expected, the emperor was also waiting for him to enter the palace.

After all, Emperor Yongning wanted to know the details of the turmoil in Shannan Province.

No one knows this better than Zhao Shuao.

It should be said that Emperor Yongning trusted and relied on Zhao Shuao very much, otherwise he would not have let him take charge of the Martial Pavilion.

It's just that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and in many things, Zhao Shuao can't get the emperor's mind. - For example, this time the leader of the martial arts.

Although he has already decided that Princess Changding is the leader, what does the emperor think? Is this leader the emperor's favor?

Zhao Shuao didn't know the bottom of his heart.

However, Princess Changding's performance in suppressing bandits in Shannan Province is really outstanding, and if it weren't for her, it would be really difficult to convince the public.

Therefore, after he finished reporting the specific situation of Shannan Dao, he groaned a little and said, "Your Majesty, Shannan Wei's suppression of bandits has already achieved results. His Highness Changding's team was far superior to the other two teams. Therefore, the minister thinks that the leader of this year's martial arts field should be His Royal Highness Changding."...

Long before Zhao Shuao returned to Beijing, Emperor Yongning knew the results of the actual battle against bandits from various sources.

The leader, it turned out to be Changding!

After learning of this result, Emperor Yongning's heart was extremely complicated.

At the beginning, in order to insert a member of the royal family in the Wu Pavilion, he happened to have a meritorious role in saving the driver, so he allowed it.

When Chang Ding proposed to participate in the martial arts competition before, he thought she was just playing.

I didn't expect her to go so far.

Not only has he entered the top three martial arts, but he also has the qualifications to compete for the top spot, and he can go to Shannan Road to suppress bandits.

He didn't expect that when Changding was suppressing bandits in Shannan Province, he would have such an amazing performance.

The other two teams were eclipsed in front of Changding, such as the Firefly Light and the Scorching Sun.

Anyone who knows about her actions in Shannan Province cannot but sigh at it.

His will was to let Zhao Shuao and Changding pacify the Shannan guards so as not to cause turmoil.

Chang Ding acted according to his will, summoned the soldiers of Shannan Province, and not only pacified them, but also exterminated the bandits in more than 30 state capitals with the help of them.

Is this holy decree used incorrectly?

It's not wrong, it's the right one!

A holy decree, in her hands, played a huge role.

The turmoil in Shannan Province was smoothed out, the hidden dangers of Shannanwei were exposed, and the people of Shannan Province were blessed...... It's all a long-term effort!

As a father, of course, his daughter is proud to have achieved such results.

As an emperor, this is not the case.

If Changding was a prince, he would never allow him to use this holy decree like this, this is the guard general in the south of the city!

But Changding is a princess, and Jiang can't get pregnant anymore, so what use can he do in the city's army?

He couldn't figure it out.

Occasionally, a thought would flash through his mind: What about the holy decree that ordered the 100,000 Shannan guards? Still is...... What about Changding?

Now, Uncle Zhao Ao came to report that the leader of the martial arts field should be Changding, and asked him to make a decision.

Chang Ding is the leader of the martial arts, is this appropriate?

Before Zhao Shuao came back, he had asked himself countless times, but in the end he had no definite answer.

Eventually, Emperor Yongning said, "I know. Stand back and rest, it's been a hard journey."

He didn't say yes, and he didn't say no.

"Your Majesty, the leader ......" Zhao Shuao wanted to say something, but when he saw the emperor waving his hand, he swallowed his words.

At the moment, the emperor obviously didn't think about it, and he was afraid that it would backfire if he continued to talk about it.

His Royal Highness Changding won the top spot in the martial arts, doesn't the emperor like it?

This question, when the East Palace Zuo led Lu Guang to meet him, he also asked it in the Zichen Palace.

"Why would Aiqing ask that?" Emperor Yongning was curious.

Although Lu Guang is the leader of the East Palace, he rarely pays attention to the affairs of the court, how can he ask about Changding?

"Your Majesty, I can't hide it, the minister has always been very concerned about the suppression of bandits in Shannan Province. His Royal Highness Changding is really appreciative! The minister believes that the leader of the martial arts field is none other than His Royal Highness! But now the leader has not been decided, so the minister has the courage to ask this question."

Lu Guang's expression was calm, and he did not hide his attitude towards this matter at all.

He has the merit of being a dragon, has prestige in the army, and occasionally speaks frankly in front of the emperor.

Emperor Yongning's heart moved slightly, and he stroked his beard and asked, "Aiqing thinks it is appropriate to become a princess and become the leader of the martial arts?"

"I don't know if it's suitable or not." Lu Guang shook his head and said, "But the minister thinks that it is the emperor's work for His Royal Highness Changding to become the leader."

"My work?"

Lu Guang nodded, with a straightforward look: "If His Royal Highness is the leader, it is telling the world: whether it is a princess or a soldier, anyone who is capable can be chased away. The leader is one person every year, and the heroes in the army are all in the emperor's ranks. So ......."

"Where does the world remember? It's to thank the emperor for thinking about the virtuous and loving talents."

After Lu Guang supported Emperor Yongning to ascend the throne, he retreated bravely, which shows that this person has a good vision and knows what the emperor wants.

These words, of course, were all addressed to the emperor.

There is only one real reason why he spoke for His Royal Highness Changding, that is: those who remove the harm of the world will receive the benefits of the world, and those who enjoy the pleasures of the world will enjoy the blessings of the world.

His Royal Highness Changding has made such a great contribution in Shannan Dao, a martial arts leader, can't he give it to her?

"First Shift! Those who remove the harm of the world will receive the benefits of the world, and those who enjoy the joy of the world will enjoy the blessings of the world. ——
