Chapter 1797: Choosing a side

"You kid is still full of private pockets, look back at how I can join you...... It looks like it's gold-plated, and it's all copper. Gong Shouli came over and stretched out his finger to flick it, and the slightly crisp tone was obviously wrong.

"Even if it is gilded with copper, it is worth a few thousand taels of silver, and the weight is fifty catties, you can take it if you can hold it." Xiao Chen said.

"Count your kid as filial, but Lao Tzu doesn't believe that Duan Fengnian's family background is this!" Gong Shouli replied with a smile in return, "Don't think about just taking a gold-plated fake object and sending Lao Tzu away, Lao Tzu didn't take the credit, so you have to take some of the benefits, right?" ”

"There are dozens of big cars outside." Xiao Chen said, "But it's all already registered, and the prince can't pick it out, just such a golden Buddha is still quietly kept secret by me, don't think about anything else, you have to submit it to the emperor." ”

"As for the credit, don't compete, I don't compete, it's all the prince's, and our brothers will be able to earn some hard work in the end." Xiao Chen said, "I know you're unbalanced, but I'm not balanced, how many miles do I run more than you?" In the end, isn't it still a wedding dress for others? ”

"No, this time your kid's credit is huge." Gong Shouli said, "Speaking of conscience, didn't you fight this battle?" ”

"The battle was fought by us, but it was won under the command of the prince." Xiao Chen said, "Don't you know what the emperor meant by sending the little prince?" It is said that it is to let the little prince sharpen, but in fact, it is gilded, just like this golden Buddha. ”

"Regardless of whether the little prince is real gold or gold-plated, this time it is very bright, I'm afraid that someone will have a sore eye." Gong Shouli said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid that there will be some more moths." ”

"Old Gong, are you going to stand in line?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"You've been standing here for a long time, haven't you?" Gong Shouli said, "Originally, I didn't want to get involved in these things, but unconsciously, it was like getting on the boat of this little prince, and I couldn't get down yet!" ”

"Then what are you coming to me for? Why don't you hurry up and offer your hospitality to the little prince? Xiao Chen said.

"It's useless to be courteous, the main thing is to look at the action." Gong Shouli said, "The little prince is young, but he is extremely shrewd, and he understands everything in his heart...... Don't say it, it's really a bit of our emperor's demeanor when he was young. ”

"It's better not to talk to ......" Xiao Chen almost said goodbye, and hurriedly went back, "Don't work so hard like the emperor." ”

In fact, what he wants to say is that it is best not to have the same temperament as our emperor.

You can't stand being suspicious alone.

Sending Gong Shouli away, there are Zhang Heng and Xu Zhisheng and other generals and officials who stayed in Wolong Pass to worship, so there is no need to describe them all.

Out of Wolong Pass, everyone is going to part ways, Huo Qishan will lead 10,000 black dragon guards back to Yanyun Pass, and Lin Yue will also lead Yanyun Army to return to Yanyun.

Xu Zhisheng's remnants continued to guard Wolong Pass, and the remaining 10,000 people under Lin Feixiong and Zhang Heng also stayed behind to rest and recuperate, and did not return to Haining Bay for the time being. The three of them all returned to Beijing to listen to the arrangement.

Lin Yue made a great contribution to this battle, but he was not willing to go to Fengyang to be crowned, because he was originally an officer of the Great Zhou, but now he is the general of Yanyun.

If he went to Beijing to see the emperor and his former superiors, everyone would be a little embarrassed, and besides, he would not be uncommon for Da Zhou's reward for the emperor's pardon, so he simply didn't go.

Zhang Heng, Lin Feixiong, Xu Zhisheng and Lin Yue have been fighting side by side for so many days, and they get along very well, everyone is a soldier, and they all cherish each other and admire each other.

There are also the soldiers of the White Dragon Guard, the Black Dragon Guard, and the Yan Yun Army have a very deep relationship with each other after this bloody battle, after all, they have lived and died together, and it is not too much to say that they are friends of life and death.

On the occasion of separation, he was also reluctant, hooked his shoulders and put his arms around his neck, and said a lot of words about each other, but no one said a word...... What should we do if our brothers face each other on the battlefield in the future?

It's better that everyone always be brothers, and never enemies.

After the separation, they each went on the road, and Xiao Chen and the others were only left with a few hundred personal guards and a few hundred soldiers to escort the convoy.

Although it was a triumphant return, it was not a great deal, and when it arrived at the Chushan camp, the generals in the camp were still very puzzled, didn't they say that they had won a big battle?

Why did you come back with such a few people?

The newspaper said that the emperor ordered people to arrange a celebration banquet in the victory village in the west of Fengyang City, and the scale was big, and it was said that many of the officials of the court and even two princes had to go to greet them in person......

When the good news came from Langya, Li Wanjiang was so happy that he wanted to go out of the city in person to greet my son and my Aiqing!

But he was forcibly persuaded by the ministers, if it was just Xiao Chen, the emperor could barely go up to greet him, but the prince Li Qiu is the emperor's son, and since ancient times, there is no reason for the father to go out of the city to greet his son!

Li Wanjiang just gave up, but his father couldn't go to greet his son, so it's okay for his brother to go, right?

Let Li Shi and Li Feng go on behalf of me, this time Li Qiu and Xiao Chen took such a short time, only lost so much troops, and only spent so much silver, and achieved such a big victory.

It can be said that the credit is monstrous, if I don't give me much recognition, will the soldiers still be able to contribute to me like this in the future?

Not only are the two princes going to greet them, but all the heads of the six departments and Jiuqing have to go!

Of course, it is impossible to go to all of them, because to welcome the prince back to Beijing, even if it is a triumphant return, there are regulations, of course, it can't be too lonely, but it can't be overdone.

In the end, it was agreed that the two princes, Zhu Houye, Lu Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Liu Qiheng, Wu Zhongze, Wu Zicheng and others went out of the city for twenty miles and went to Deshengzhuang to set up a banquet to greet them.

Li Wanjiang didn't say anything, after all, this is a happy thing, whatever you want.

Deshengzhuang, originally called Ping'an Village, was the feudal manor of the Marquis of Li Chang when the Han Dynasty, there were thousands of people, and then the Han Dynasty died, and the people here not only did not disperse, but also gathered more and more.

Now there are tens of thousands of people, because Li Qiu and they returned from a great victory, and they want to hold a banquet to welcome them again, so Li Wanjiang specially issued an order to change its name to Victory Village.

The banquet was set up next to the road crossing to the west of Zhuangzi, and more than a dozen large warm tents were temporarily set up, and more than 100 tables were set up, and there were thousands of people who were served by the cooks alone!

The banquet is even more sumptuous, the mountains and seas, the water and land are horizontal, it is said that the cost of a table banquet alone will cost more than 200 taels of silver!

There is also a ceremonial band transferred from the palace, the honor guard transferred from the ceremonial department, the guard of the brocade guard, densely packed with thousands of people, axes and axes stand in a forest, the banner is clear, and it is arranged on both sides of the road, which is extremely spectacular.

Li Shi and Li Feng led the civil and military officials to stand on the avenue early and wait......

At the time of the wax moon, it is the coldest time, and the big guys can only wear the court clothes used in the ceremony, and they can't wear jackets inside, and they can't wear cotton robes outside.

The wind was strong at the intersection, and after only standing for a stick of incense, his face turned pale from the cold.
