"Where, where, Lord Wu has an overreputation. As a descendant of the Li family, this king is also a duty. Xiao Yunhe dealt with it casually, observing his face, and waited for Wu Zhongru to say the purpose of the trip, instead of taking the initiative to ask.

The smile on Wu Zhongru's face was as harmless as Maitreya Buddha, and he said to Xiao Yunhe with great brilliance: "My lord has every opportunity to deal with national affairs, and he doesn't dare to bother more. I came here to do my best for the country to show my loyalty. I have nothing to do with my humble duties, only some yellow and white vulgar goods, I hope to give my adults some help - please take a look!" With that, Wu Zhongru took out two peculiar metal sheets from his arms.

Xiao Yunhe raised his hand, and Song Liangchen took a few steps forward and handed it to Xiao Yunhe. After looking through it in detail, these two palm-sized pieces of long iron were actually polished to be about the same thickness as paper. Some strange patterns are engraved on it, one of which reads 'Three Thousand Taels of Gold' on the front and the other 'Baht Eighty Thousand Taels'. Behind the two pieces of iron, there are eight big characters like a seal: 'Yongye Cabinet, redeem by authority'.

Xiao Yunhe didn't know anything like this, so he rubbed it in his hand for a while, and thought in his heart: Cabinet Fang, what is this? More than a hundred years have passed, and there are really a lot of new things that have arisen in Daqi......

Wu Zhongru is a human spirit, and when he saw Xiao Yunhe's appearance, he was afraid that he would be dissatisfied, so he immediately said in detail: "My lord, this is the redemption voucher issued by the Yongye Cabinet under the name of a lowly relative and friend. With this token, you can redeem a corresponding amount of money in the capital city or any other place where there is a branch of the Yongye Cabinet. My lord...... But what's not to like?"

It turned out that this was the case! Xiao Yunhe suddenly realized: I only remember that there are many convenient 'shop's shops in Daqi, which not only stack goods, but also live with merchants, and at the same time do some intermediate transactions and collect money on behalf of them. Presumably, this 'cabinet shop' was developed from the store, right? In order to facilitate business travelers, there is no need to bring a lot of cash on them...... Well, it's a big change. In this way, it is indeed more convenient.

Xiao Yunhe came back to his senses and said to Wu Zhongru: "Lord Wu, three thousand taels of gold, eighty thousand copper coins, the discount is more than 100,000. You're ...... What does it mean?" The meaning of Xiao Yunhe's words is very clear: it can't be that he wants to bribe this king to buy convenience, right?!

Wu Zhongru suddenly sat up straight, and hurriedly said: "I am grateful for the hard work of my lord and the army, the war has just ended, and I will definitely need money from many places. For example, to appease the bereaved families of martyrs and buy medical equipment...... This move is all about sponsoring military funds. Nothing else!"

Xiao Yunhe raised the small iron piece and smiled: "Lord Wu, you are really loyal and loyal to the country! On the contrary, there is a bit of a shortage in this Honglu Temple. Can this king borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and transfer the money given by Lord Wu to Honglu Temple for them to use in case of emergency?"

The smile on Wu Zhongru's face seemed to have never changed, and he said with a smile: "The things have been given to adults, how do adults want to distinguish them, and where do they dare to ask." This sentence is also cleverly said, and the meaning is nothing more than that: Anyway, you have already accepted this money, and as for how to spend love, it is your business.

Xiao Yunhe smiled, handed two small pieces of iron to Liu Honglu, and said to him: "Liu Honglu, it seems that it is also the mercy of heaven. We just talked about improving the lives of the envoys of various countries in the Honglu Temple, and God sent a kind Lord Wu to send money and goods. You will take the money, and it will be as if the king had allocated it to you from the army. Since it's military money, you have to use it carefully, don't make a foolish account. ”

"Yes, yes!" Liu Honglu happily took it and shook it again and again. With these 100,000 runs, the people in Honglu Temple can be regarded as living a good life. And Xiao Yunhe's words made it clear that this was transferred from 'military funds', that is, to Wu Zhongru that this gift was delivered. The army took it.

Wu Zhongru really looked happy, and said again and again: "Thank you, my lord, for making some meager contributions to the country and the army, and my humble duty will be much better." If you need anything in the future, just come to me...... Ah, no, no, send a messenger pawn to summon him, and the lowly will surely come before and after the saddle. ”

"How dare you, how dare you!" Xiao Yunhe said quietly with an indifferent smile on his face, "Then the king, thank you Lord Wu?"

Wu Zhongru stood up and bowed to Xiao Yunhe for a long time: "Please resign from your humble position." ”

"Please. Xiao Yunhe raised his hand, and Wu Zhongru slowly retreated out.

Looking at Wu Zhongru's back, Xiao Yunhe smiled and secretly thought to himself: 100,000 Guan, are you here to buy peace? Presumably, when Zhu Jun occupied the capital, you also did such a thing, right? But didn't I have a military order before, and I didn't blame the things that happened before the wealthy family? So, do you Wu Zhongru have other plans?

A few days later, the big and small things were almost settled, and the situation in the national capital also calmed down. The law and order are in good order, the recruited troops have also been organized, and with unified control, there should not be any more chaos.

Xiao Yunhe pondered, it was time to take that Emperor Xuansun back to the capital and make a difference. The world cannot be without a king for a day, and now he still has to be the emperor. But before we can do that, there are two things that need to be done first.

That night, Xiao Yunhe took a break and returned to Lingyan Pavilion with Song Liangchen and Gao Gu, let the two of them stand guard outside, and entered the pavilion by himself. With no one around, Xiao Yunhe lifted the stone bricks on the floor, pulled up the iron cover and entered the secret room of the iron house.

The large iron cabinet against the wall is the most elaborate storage box. Xiao Yunhe carefully recalled the trick of opening it, and it took a long time to open it. Then, from it, he took out several books of embroidery and a jade lump shaped like a dragon's head and the size of a fist. If you want to talk about Daqi, you have always been accustomed to using paper, but Xiao Yunhe was worried that such an important thing would be easy to be damaged and damaged if it was written on paper, so he deliberately carved it into a bamboo slip by himself. I didn't expect that I would still be able to use it a hundred years later. As for that jade bump...... Xiao Yunhe secretly laughed in his heart: Dragon sons and grandsons, in my previous life, I died in a hurry under a violent illness, and many things have not had time to be explained. However, I really don't plan to tell you everything. Don't blame me, the old ancestor, for being stingy. There are some things that I am not willing to leave to you, lest you develop the bad habit of being indulgent and lazy. However, in the current situation, I have no choice but to take it out and keep it for emergencies.

Xiao Yunhe took out all these things, packed them in a package, and then went to look at the big iron door, which was closed tightly. Only then did he leave the iron house and return to Lingyan Pavilion with confidence, closing the mechanism to cover up the traces. Inevitably, he looked at the portraits of the eldest grandson Wuji for a while with some reluctance, and then left with Gao Gu and Song Liangchen.

After that, Xiao Yunhe asked Gao Gu to invite Li Sheng, Chu Yan and several generals of the Toucheng rebels. In this battle to recover the imperial capital, many details have to be blurred. Before reporting to the emperor, it was necessary to unify the caliber. Xiao Yunhe first told Li Sheng that about how to break through Beiyuan, the news should be completely blocked, and no one should mention the matter of King Han personally opening the city gate. And it should be changed to - the king of Han was in command, Li Sheng fought bravely, attacked Xuanwu Gate, and fought hard.

Later, several rebel generals defected to the battle, helped the Shence army pacify the palace and exterminated Zhu Zhu, and opened the capital of the country to welcome Wang Shi into the city.

Although Li Sheng and Chu Yan were a little embarrassed and felt that they had robbed King Han of the credit, Xiao Yunhe insisted and repeatedly told them to do so, so they had to be cheeky and agreed. Those rebel generals were naturally grateful to Dai De, because they became the heroes of the Great Qi Dynasty, and the surrender of Zhu Zhu before was just to endure humiliation and wait for the opportunity......

Xiao Yunhe waved his pen and made a statement about the battle to recover the imperial capital, and thousands of words were accomplished overnight. Then ask Li and others to sign it, and then you can take it to the emperor and report it to the emperor. The emperor's people only care about the result, as for the process, how many people died, and how much effort it took to care, they would not care. Xiao Yunhe himself was also a person who had been an emperor, and he had touched the temperament of these people, so he happened to take advantage of the loophole and hide the secret passage matter closely.

As soon as he was ready, Xiao Yunhe asked Li Sheng to stay and guard the national capital, and Chu Yan led the army to garrison the troops outside, and he ordered three thousand ironclad honor guards to go to Fengtian to welcome the emperor.

In fact, the news of the restoration of the national capital has already spread all over Guanzhong and gradually spread to the whole world. Xiao Yunhe and others passed all the way in fresh clothes and bright armor, and the people along the way cheered and said goodbye. When passing through Gaoling, Li Huaiguang asked the Gaoling garrison to discharge the array out of the city to greet him, the military drum sounded, and the golden horn was noisy. The people of the whole city were attracted and cheered loudly to welcome Xiao Yunhe and the others.

Li Huaiguang has been recuperating from his injuries for a while, and it seems that he has greatly improved, and his complexion is much better. Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but be happy when he saw him like this. The honor guard stopped for a while in Gaoling, and Xiao Yunhe and Li Huaiguang also sat together, chatting and drinking freely at the wine table.

Li Huaiguang told Xiao Yunhe that his righteous son Shi Yanfen had been serving all night long, carrying tea and pouring water as meticulously as a maid. This made Xiao Yunhe have a little more affection for Shi Yanfen, a young man with a beard. Xiao Yunhe promised Li Huaiguang that after the emperor returned to Beijing and Li Huaiguang's body recovered, he would take Shi Yanfen away and stay in the palace of the Han Dynasty. Li Huaiguang was naturally happy for a while.

The soldiers ate wine and rice, and the horses ate forage. After resting for a while, Xiao Yunhe took the team to bid farewell to Li Huaiguang and went to Fengtian. Before the imperial court appointed and dismissed new magistrates to take office, Li Huaiguang had to give in

patiently recuperated from his wounds, and at the same time served as a magistrate.

Outside Fengtian City, it was already crowded with people. The soldiers and civilians stood in two pieces, leaving only a road leading to the gate in the middle for Xiao Yunhe and the others to walk. The earth-shattering cheers lasted for a long time, the colorful cannons rang out in the air, and the gongs and drums resounded through the heavy clouds. The old man of the emperor was also a little anxious to wait for this moment, and the welcome ceremony arranged seemed to have taken some thought. Xiao Yunhe walked through the crowd with the honor guard, bowing back to the soldiers and civilians all the way, which can be regarded as having made a lot of popularity.

The prefectural office, which was used as the imperial palace, seems to have been decorated these days, much cleaner and brighter than before, and the floor is covered with a red carpet. The civil and military officials and the iron armor of the imperial guards were lined up on both sides, and Xiao Yunhe walked into the 'palace' proudly with the good news in his hand.

"Minister: King Han, generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, Yi, long live my emperor!" No matter how unhappy Xiao Yunhe was, he could only kneel on the ground and play at this time-

"On the third day of October in the first year of the Great Qi Xing, the minister led the Shence and Shuofang army to capture the national capital in one go, punish Zhu Zhu for rebelling against the party, and restore the imperial capital. More than 10,000 enemies were killed and tens of thousands of prisoners were captured. Thieves, big and small, etc., almost no one has escaped the net. Now the situation in the national capital is stable and clear, and the people are eager for His Majesty to return to Longque, the important town of Beijing. Weichen and others specially came to greet them. Please move the imperial capital!"

The old man's face was full of red light today, and he was so happy that he was about to laugh until he was smiling. He was overjoyed that such a difficult task of recovering the imperial capital could be completed by one of his generals in just ten months. Originally, I was ready to spend the winter in the ghost place of Mukden, but I didn't expect to be able to return to the warm and comfortable palace so soon!

The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly cheered, and they also knelt down and shouted: "Please move your majesty to the imperial capital and take the important town of Longque!"

"Okay, good!" The old man was so happy that he trembled a little, stood up from the dragon chair, waved his hand again and again, and said, "King Han, please get up, all Aiqing, please get up!"

Xiao Yunhe stood up and stood in the hall with the good news watch in his hand. The fat eunuch beside the old man, Huo Xianming, stepped forward with a big buttocks, took the watch in Xiao Yunhe's hand, and handed it to the old man. The old man finished reading the recital with a smile on his face, and said happily: "King Han, your trip can be described as a reunion of the society and high achievements. When I return to the palace, I will definitely give him a generous reward. There are also all the heroes mentioned on this list, I will write them down one by one and reward them according to their merits. It's getting late today, and you've had a hard time all the way. I'll go back to the palace tomorrow, all of you, Aiqing, so let's get a little prepared. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty—" Everyone bowed their hands together and bowed down. It can be seen that except for the emperor, everyone is very happy. After all, they are all people who are accustomed to a luxurious and wealthy life, and in a poor and sour place like Mukden, they are really depressed. Seeing that he is about to return to the national capital of Jinxiu Paradise, where the delicacies of the mountains and seas are as beautiful as jade, who doesn't like it?

"In that case, let's dismiss today's court discussion first. The old man's expression was relaxed and happy, and he beckoned to Xiao Yunhe with a smile, "Yunhe, you stay." I have something to say to you. ”

The civil and military officials retreated in turn, and Xiao Yunhe followed the emperor into the hall in the backyard. The fat eunuch Huo Xianming kept smiling flatteringly at Xiao Yunhe, which made him feel a blockage in his heart: What are you doing with me? If you are a beautiful woman, you would be fine, but you are an annoying ugly and fat eunuch, and you also make this appearance...... It's really unappetizing.

The old man led Xiao Yunhe into a room in the back hall, and the two of them sat down face to face. The old man said with a smile: "Yunhe, this time, I really worked hard for you. I didn't expect that you would be able to recover the imperial capital and eradicate Zhu Zhu in such a short period of time. This contribution is enough to mark the history of the eternal name. ”

"Actually, this is all the credit of Li Sheng, Chu Yan and other generals. Xiao Yunhe's expression was very humble and natural, and he said calmly, "There are also all the soldiers who swore to serve their lives regardless of their lives, and several generals of the original rebel army reined in the precipice and abandoned the darkness to turn to the light, so that they won this battle." Wechen ...... Actually, I didn't do much, I just supervised it from the side. The specific way to march and how to fight, in fact, Li Sheng, Chu Yan, and Li Huaiguang are all planning and deploying troops to punish generals. ”

Xiao Yunhe said it very naturally, and the old man took it for granted that he didn't doubt it much. Originally, his adopted son and a general's ability, his old man was relatively clear, and it was rare that he didn't come to grab credit this time, so he changed the topic and said: "Well, Li Huaiguang is injured, I want him to recuperate well, and send the best imperial doctor to treat him." Oh yes, Yunhe. I have another important matter to talk to you about today. ”

When Xiao Yunhe heard the old man say this, he woke up in his heart, and thought that he had found out, so he asked vigilantly: "What kind of admonition does Your Majesty have, please give me instructions?"

The smile on the old man's face became a little ambiguous and weird, patted Xiao Yunhe's hand, and said with a smile: "Relax, it's nothing serious." Well, you'll be more than happy about this......"

Xiao Yunhe blinked his eyes and looked at the old man with a strange smile on his face, not knowing what kind of foolish idea he was playing again.

The old man seemed to have encountered some great joy, and said with great interest: "Yunhe, speaking of which, I also have my responsibility. This return to the capital of Zhu Zhu rebellion, let your family ...... Ahem, those things are unbearable, so don't mention them. It's just that you are now in your youth, how can you have less women around you to serve? My royal brother went early, and he still watched you inherit the incense. Now that you've passed under my knees, how about I tell you about my family this time?"

"Huh?" Xiao Yunhe was really stunned for a while: At this time, the old man still has the heart to be a matchmaker?

This time, Xiao Yunhe really didn't know whether to cry or laugh, anyway, he felt very awkward.

The old man looked at Xiao Yunhe's expression, thinking that he was still a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Don't be embarrassed first, listen to me." Guo Ziyi's son-in-law, Wu Zhongru, is now a minor official in Duanwangfu. However, this person has a great reputation in the national capital, no less than the emperor's relatives. And not long ago, he also took the initiative to invest tens of thousands of recruits to recruit the army, and asked his son to bring domestic slaves to fill the army - these things, let's not mention them for the time being. I mean, this guy is not bad, at least loyal and patriotic, and he is a wealthy family. He has a daughter......

Hearing this, Xiao Yunhe really wanted to run away, or simply jump up and slap this old man twice. If nothing else, in Xiao Yunhe's life, when has he ever been forced to stuff a woman by his side? This kind of thing that wants others to be matchmakers, and even has a little suspicion of political marriage, he is really disgusted from the bottom of his heart. Husband and wife, just like feet and shoes, this is comfortable or uncomfortable, you have to see it yourself and try again, no matter what others say, it can't be counted. And when I thought of the expression on Wu Zhongru's face when he came to see him before, it was obviously premeditated. It made him feel like he had been fooled, and he was a little annoyed.

The old man didn't know what Xiao Yunhe's heart had become, so he just chattered endlessly: "His daughter, who is said to be seventeen years old this year, is somewhat famous in the name of the national capital. It stands to reason that a lady of a prestigious family like her should have married out at this age. But the eyes of other girls are higher than the top, and ordinary people can't look down on them, so she has reached such an age—but Yunhe, don't dislike it! I have seen this girl once, and she is really extremely beautiful, and she is virtuous and generous, and she is just worthy of you as a young hero!"

"Then you included her in the harem, why did you use her as a matchmaker for your ancestors." Bastard thing!' Xiao Yunhe scolded angrily in his heart, raised his eyes and glanced at the old man, he didn't know what to say, and his heart became depressed. If he wasn't the reborn Xiao Yunhe, this old man would have been kind. A general's family was killed in the Zhu Zhu Rebellion, and none of his wives and concubines and children remained. As a member of the royal family, no matter how you say it, you can't have no successor. His old man considered these things out of the hearts of his elders. But Xiao Yunhe couldn't feel comfortable in his heart, and he hated it so much.

"Why, aren't you happy, if you have anything to say, might as well tell me?" the old man was quite patient.

Xiao Yunhe quickly thought about it for a while in his heart, and said: "Father......" This is the first time Xiao Yunhe has opened his mouth to call the old man his father, not to mention how awkward and depressed he is. Because after all, the two of them discuss family affairs in private, so it is better to express their opinions if they are affectionate. And for a while, Xiao Yunhe has thought very clearly. He can't keep thinking that he is still the Tang Taizong Xiao Yunhe who is the monarch of the world, only by letting himself settle down and obediently pretend to be a general, and do his duty as the prince first, can he think about other major things. It's time to take the initiative to untie some knots one by one - for example, calling this incompetent great-grandson "Father".

The old man saw that Xiao Yunhe's expression was a little hesitant, and said very kindly: "It doesn't matter, there are only our father and son here, if you have something to say, just say it directly." ”

"Erchen......" Xiao Yunhe hated to pinch himself, stopped the aggrieved feeling in his heart, barely calmed his mind and continued: "I don't want to continue the string yet." ”

"Oh, why?" said the old man, a little surprised. With a general's temperament of spending all his days and drinking too much, he should not refuse such a good deed! Moreover, Wu Zhongru is a person of the Guo family, and it can be said that he has deep wealth and power in the country. He is a good girl to others, how can he ......

Xiao Yunhe let out a long sigh and said with a melancholy face: "Erchen's family is small, and they have just died. No one collects the corpses, and now the bones don't know where to look

|I think, and then accept other women. And...... My ex-wife's bones are not cold, and I am in such a hurry to continue the strings, and my reputation will not be good if it is passed out, and the reputation of the eldest lady of the Wu family is not very good. So ......"

"Oh, that's right......," the old man nodded as if he had suddenly realized, and muttered, "What you said makes sense, but I was a little negligent. It's rare for Yunhe to be so affectionate and righteous and take care of etiquette and reputation, so let's not press it for the time being. However, marriage events have always been the words of the parents. I had already agreed to this matter in front of the Guo family. You don't have any jokes, and it's not good to push again. But I don't want to embarrass you. When do you think the time is right for me to do this again, how about it?"

"Thank you. Xiao Yunhe felt much more relaxed as if he had been granted amnesty. Thinking back to what the old man said just now, he asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, is it someone from the Guo family who came to mention it?"

"Yes!" said the old man, "I respect Old Commander Guo as my father, and his son has always had a good relationship with me. Not long ago, when you led your division to leave Fengtian, Guo Xi and Guo Nuan escaped from the national capital with their families and went to Fengtian's side. Guo Lao Linggong is a family member, and he has a great reputation in the world, and even if Zhu Jun's traitors killed many princes of the Li family, they didn't dare to embarrass them. Fortunately, they are all loyal and good ministers, always thinking of serving the country loyally, and not being left behind by the coercion and temptation of the party. Not long ago, when the news of the recovery of the national capital came, Guo Xi and Guo Nuan came to talk to me about this matter. ”

Xiao Yunhe nodded slightly, and thought in his heart: Guo Ziyi is below one family, and there are many children and grandchildren who are big officials, crowned princes, and marry relatives, and their protégés and former officials are all over the world, even Li Huaiguang and Chu Yan are Guo Ziyi's old department. Guo Xi and Guo Nuan are the two most beautiful among Guo Ziyi's sons. In fact, it is also a good idea to have a relationship with them. It's just that no matter how you get it, you can't marry a girl who hasn't even met in such a daze and sell yourself. If it's an ugly woman or a wicked woman, how can people stand it?

The two chatted for a while, the old man wanted to leave Xiao Yunhe to eat together, Xiao Yunhe said that he would take care of military affairs, settle the sleeping place of the 3,000 ironclad honor guard, and leave first. Out of the hall, it was still the fat eunuch who led Xiao Yunhe out, chattering endlessly and praising him all over the place. Xiao Yunhe just listened to the bird's words and only cared about the road, thinking that the emperor could actually hand over the imperial guards to you to take care of, it seems that you are also powerful, and there is no need to embarrass you now. Otherwise, according to my temperament, I will first use a wooden pestle to plug your big mouth of the rambling sea, sky and sea.

Out of the palace, Ju Wenzhen, who hadn't seen her for several days, was already standing there, so anxious that she turned left and right, and when she saw Xiao Yunhe come out, she knelt on the ground as quickly as if she had seen a baby, and shouted repeatedly: "The villain greets the King of Han Chitose!"

"Oh, it's you, Ju Wenzhen. Xiao Yunhe smiled, "Get up, see what makes you happy." Do you think that this king will never return?"

"Ah, how dare the villain imagine this?" Ju Wenzhen was stunned for a moment, and then shouted happily, "The villain stands at the door every day and waits for the adults to come back, and he is going to be blind." Bu Yi was really happy when he saw the majestic posture of the adults...... People are going to fly. ”

"Okay, you're really good. Xiao Yunhe was also happy to see Ju Wenzhen. After all, there are many things, and it's really inconvenient not to be around him.

Ju Wenzhen laughed for a while, and seemed to be really happy. Then he turned to Xiao Yunhe's side, bowed to the fat eunuch Huo Xianming, and called softly, "How is your father-in-law?"

Huo Xianming glanced at Xiao Yunhe, and then said with a smile on his face: "Excuse me, Ju Wenzhen." Remember to serve Lord Han well, don't be negligent. Otherwise, I won't be able to spare you. ”

"Yes—" Ju Wenzhen replied with a long voice, and returned to Xiao Yunhe to stand beside him.

Xiao Yunhe blinked his eyes a few times, didn't say anything, and left with Ju Wenzhen. After leaving the palace for a while, Xiao Yunhe said, "Ju Wenzhen, did you recognize that Huo Xianming as your godfather?"

"Yes......" Ju Wenzhen seemed to be a little happy, and said in a tone of Taotao, "My lord, you don't know, those of us who are eunuchs are all really happy about this." It's like an official who recognizes a high-ranking teacher and elevates his family background. Huo Xianming is now in charge of the forbidden army, but he is a celebrity in front of His Majesty. The villain recognized him as a godfather, and it would be beneficial for him to do errands for adults in the future. ”

"Well......" Xiao Yunhe nodded slightly, thinking: Let the eunuch be in charge of the forbidden army, old man, you can really do it. It seems that above this court, it is going to become more and more smoky......

Early in the morning of the second day, Fengtian County was lively. After a night of excitement, the ministers gathered outside the North Gate City early, bustling with a large group, like villagers rushing to the market. Today, they have been looking forward to this day for a while. The mansions, fertile fields, and delicious women in the national capital have already teased their hearts, where do they want to stay in the poor and sour place of Fengtian for one more day.

At three o'clock, Xiao Yunhe escorted the emperor's car to the north gate with three thousand iron armor, and the civil and military officials and the people knelt down and cheered. The old man's spirit is also good, sitting on the dragon chariot beaming, looking at the kneeling crowd in front of him, as if he has finally found the sense of superiority that reigns over the world. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little more grateful and appreciative of Xiao Yunhe in his heart.

"After all, it's our Li family, and I have taken back the imperial capital!" On the way back to the capital, the old man comforted himself from time to time in his heart, not letting himself feel like he had lost face and had no face to return to the capital again. Along the way, he also asked Xiao Yunhe, who was riding a horse, to follow him next to his dragon chariot, chatting with him with a match. When he stopped to rest, he and the prince were called together, and the three of them had dinner together.

The civil and military officials who were traveling with him naturally saw it in their eyes, and thought to themselves silently: This is good, a general of the Han King, he really soared into the sky with all his grace......

Xiao Yunhe was very careful all the way, restrained his pride and disdain, and obediently pretended to be a 'son'. The crown prince Li Yu is inseparable from him, and occasionally talks for a few sentences, which is also a painless idle routine. But Li Yuyue didn't care, and Xiao Yunhe felt more and more that the prince, who was quite introverted in the city, was already deeply jealous of himself.

The old man also had a good heart, remembering Li Huaiguang, who was recuperating from his injuries in Gaoling, so the driver deliberately walked a little longer and rested in Gaoling. Li Huaiguang sent a field out of the city to greet him, and the old man rewarded him with kind words and comforted him. Let him heal his injuries in Gaoling first, and the affairs of the army will not have to be too tied, and there will be many important things for him to deal with in the future. Li Huaiguang was naturally still happy, and kowtowed again and again to thank him. The people in the court are all clear, this recovery of the imperial capital, the people around the King of Han, they must all be soaring, even Li Huaiguang, who once showed his traces, the emperor will praise him. The Han Dynasty has been in the court since then.

In the face of this qiē, the prince's cousin has always been very calm. Xiao Yunhe secretly paid attention to it and found that he hardly had any emotional fluctuations.

When entering the national capital, Xiao Yunhe led the iron horse in the golden armor and red robe to open the way, and the gentry and soldiers and civilians in the national capital cheered and knelt to welcome the emperor back to Beijing. The old man looked at the well-organized national capital, felt the cheers of the crowd, and left behind all the embarrassment of the wolf bèi fleeing the national capital before, and sat on the dragon chariot and waved to the crowd frequently. It seems to be more like a victorious return after a royal expedition.

Every matter in the imperial city is clear, and there are no traces left after the war, as if nothing has ever happened here. Naturally, the old man couldn't imagine what had happened here in the days he had left the Imperial City. He only saw that the palace was still so magnificent, the streets were still so neat and smooth, and every brick seemed to be polished brightly, and it was even more magnificent than before. Everything in the palace is the same as when he left, and although the palace maids and eunuchs have changed some people, they are still very good. It's just that many of the concubines who stayed in the harem at that time seem to be missing.

Regarding this matter, Xiao Yunhe didn't plan to explain anything to the old man. The emperor's women have been occupied by rebels like Zhu Jun for a period of time, and they may not be as obvious as missing arms and legs, but everyone can imagine what they will be missing, or what will be more. Therefore, all the women who have been used by Zhu Jun, Xiao Yunhe has been ruthless and has secretly dealt with them. Depending on the situation, kill or exile. This kind of thing, naturally, the more subtle and low-key it is, the better. Otherwise, the royal reputation will be greatly affected. The old man wasn't stupid, he didn't ask anyone where the women had gone, he was just a little depressed in his heart, feeling like he had become the biggest turtle ever.

Xiao Yunhe welcomed the old man back to the palace, which can be regarded as a major event, and he relaxed a little. That night, he was still temporarily resting in Sinong Monastery. Ju Wenzhen is far more careful and thoughtful than ordinary sergeants, carrying tea, pouring water, changing clothes, and being very busy. These days have been relatively tired, Xiao Yunhe also wanted to take a good rest, so he went to bed early.

The next day was a special day. After a lapse of several months, the Vermilion Bird Gate of the Imperial City was opened on time again at three o'clock, and hundreds of civil and military officials came to the court. Everyone had some excited looks that couldn't be concealed, and the entire imperial city was also full of life.

Xiao Yunhe slept all night, and the next day he was in good spirits and got up early in the morning refreshed. Changed the armor and sword, put on the purple prince's robe, wore the three-beam Jinxian crown on his head, held a jade in his hand, and went to the Hanyuan Hall of Daming Palace to go to the court. Out of Sinong Temple, I happened to meet Li Sheng

Xu F came up to greet them very attentively, and then followed them not far away, and walked towards Daming Palace together. Gradually, there were more and more people behind the two, and from a distance, it seemed like the two of them were leading the way, taking a large number of people behind them to the court.

The big drum on the bell and drum tower of Hanyuan Hall sounded, waking up the entire groggy palace. Xiao Yunhe, Li and Chu Yan walked out of the West Dynasty Hall with a group of military generals and walked to the magnificent Hanyuan Palace. On both sides in front of the dragon's tail, there are already powerful and majestic ironclad guards of the Divine Ce Army. Looking up, at the end of the hundreds of steps long Dragon Tail Road, the majestic Hanyuan Palace seems to be located in the clouds, with infinite majesty.

The prince was on the left, Xiao Yunhe was on the right, and the two of them took the lead, and walked on the Longwei Road with the civil and military officials, and walked towards the main hall of Hanyuan Palace. The fat eunuch Huo Xianming's voice was also very loud today, and he shouted very energetically: "The emperor is in the early dynasty, and the prince, the prince, the civil and military officials, will meet you in class!"

The Hanyuan Hall is spacious, bright and spotless. On the Jinluan Treasure Hall, sat the old man of the emperor who was radiant and well-dressed. He first sighed very excitedly about returning to the imperial capital, and swore that he would be a good emperor in the future. Then, he rewarded Xiao Yunhe, a cadre, and others.

I have to say that the old man really learned the lesson of the 'change of Jingshi' this time and became very generous. Xiao Yunhe, as the generalissimo of the unified army who recovered the imperial capital, naturally made great contributions. The old man added 500 households to him, the number of which was almost equal to the prince's 3,000, reaching 2,800, and rewarded more than 100 servants to the palace of the Han Dynasty, with 100,000 yuan of money and 800 horses of silk. The Han Palace's renovation and reconstruction should be spent on the inner garden of the palace. (That is.) It was paid for by the emperor personally, and the treasury was not called. In addition, he also rewarded Xiao Yunhe with an official who his old man had been in the past-"Shang Shuling".

In fact, since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, after Xiao Yunhe, who was the king of Qin, held the official position of 'Shangshu Ling', Li Tang has not let anyone take this position again for more than 100 years, but replaced its functions with Shangshu's left and right servants or left and right servants. It wasn't until the old man became the crown prince that he served as Shang Shuling. It's just that now the official system of the three provinces and six ministries exists in name only, and the Shangshu Ling, who governs the six ministries, is not as powerful as the prime minister of the Tongzhong Shumen.

For these, Xiao Yunhe didn't care much about them. As a prince himself, he can join the cabinet as a prime minister if he can't commit it, and compete with people like Lu Qi for the length of a day. At present, although there are not many cronies and party friends around him, Li Sheng, Chu Yan, and Li Huaiguang are all well-known and meritorious people. No one dared to despise him, a prince who only hung an empty title.
