Mu Changzhou lowered his head and retreated: "Please enter the city Your Majesty." ”

Shun Yin followed and got out of the way.

Immediately, the city was more and more silent, and for the first time in many years, this land welcomed the emperor in person.

The canopy moved slightly, and the emperor sat on horseback, and with the slow hooves of the horse, entered the city gate......

The battlefield was taken over by the army of the king division who rushed in, and the enemy soldiers on both sides were first attacked and wounded, and then pressed by the newly arrived reinforcements.

The Western Turkic tribes had already retreated in a panic with the wounded Khan, and now they had fled nearly a hundred miles overnight. The Tubo army retreated first, and there were still remnants of the soldiers and horses who resisted stubbornly, and when the news of the Central Plains Emperor's personal expedition spread everywhere, the morale of the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou on all sides was greatly boosted, and they came with the Wang Division.

Shunyin opened his eyes, there was a soft mattress in front of him, he didn't come back to his senses for a while, sat up, and remembered that everything was true before, not a dream.

It was very late when she returned to the mansion last night, and when Mu Changzhou and her walked into the mansion, they were all covered in blood and dirty, and all the attendants and maids in the mansion were very surprised, as if no one expected that the battle that had been resisting for many days would be a great victory.

When they heard the shouts of the emperor leading the army outside, they were even more shocked.

She got up in her cloak and saw the figure walking in from outside the screen.

Mu Changzhou cleaned up his body, dressed in a robe, and was looking at her, just after the night of the battlefield, his voice was still slightly hoarse: "Wait until you have slept enough and get up." ”

Shunyin remembered that there was a formal visit today, and got out of bed with all her clothes: "I've slept enough." ”

Mu Changzhou approached: "Then let's get ready to go." ”

Chang Feng was waiting outside the gate of the mansion early in the morning, holding a brocade box in his hand.

In front of the gate of the house are the carriages and horses that have just been prepared.

After a long time, Mu Changzhou walked out of the mansion and turned around to wait.

Shun Yin followed out of the door, dressed in a solemn skirt, holding a shawl, delicate hair, seeing Changfeng holding a brocade box, he couldn't help asking: "What is this?" ”

Mu Changzhou suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the plaque in front of the mansion, and lowered his eyes to look at her: "Before facing the saint, I have something to tell you." ”

Shun Yin met his gaze and nodded......

All the Central Plains troops who rushed to the city did not enter the city, and only stationed outside the city for a while.

The soldiers and horses of Qinzhou who rushed to support returned from the north of the city and also stayed outside the city.

When Feng Wujian learned that the emperor had arrived in person and rushed into Liangzhou City, the city was already stable, there was no war drums and galloping horses, and the strong wind of the day was blowing, which seemed to blow away the bloody gas that had been permeating before.

Although the emperor has entered the city, he has not moved the people at all, and even only stayed in the official office, and did not stay in any other garden.

Feng Wujian hurried to the outside of the official office, dismounted and walked into the courtyard, only to see that many generals and officials had gathered, almost all of them were facing the hall guarded by the forbidden army in front, looking surprised and faintly excited.

He stood aside, his face was serious, and he was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that this time he was gathered here to reward his merits, his sister was the wife of the chief manager, and the second brother Mu was the chief manager, so it must be the top priority of the reward.

As soon as he finished thinking about it, there were a few neighing sounds outside, followed by someone walking in from outside.

Mu Changzhou was neatly robed, followed by Shunyin, and walked in together.

Behind is Changfeng who is holding a brocade box in both hands.

Everyone in the courtyard immediately turned around and raised their hands to salute him.

Zhang Junfeng and Hu Xiao'er stood on the right, after being surprised last night, there was only joy left today. Zhang Junfeng felt that the big thing had finally been done, and Hu Xiao'er was thinking about what reward would be, rubbing his hands, and wanted to come forward and ask.

Linghu Tuo was covered with soft armor, stood on the left side, and when he saw the salute, he finally hugged his fist and said nothing else.

As soon as Feng Wuji saw his sister, he wanted to step forward to speak, but when he saw that she was already looking at him, he had to hold back.

After confirming that he was okay, Shun Yin nodded at him and went forward with Mu Changzhou.

The forbidden army in front of the hall immediately shouted: "The governor of Xuanliang Prefecture and his wife are here." ”

The hall was very quiet, the emperor was dressed in a bright yellow round-necked robe, and after sitting on the plan, he only accompanied a forbidden soldier on the side, and he didn't even bring an inner attendant.

Mu Changzhou walked in, and was just about to lift his clothes and bow down, but the emperor had already spoken out to stop him: "No need, you know that I saw you today, not to formally meet you." ”

He straightened up and stood with his hands down: "Your Majesty is for the sake of the ministers." ”

Shun Yin was on his left side as always, and was about to bow down, but he also stopped, just listening silently.

The emperor held the battle report he had just sent in his hand, got up after reading it, slowly approached, and stopped in front of him: "I have come as you have been invited, and the follow-up of the war will be handed over to the DPRK and the central government, this is the reinforcement I owed to Liangzhou many years ago." ”

Mu Changzhou's voice was warm and calm: "Asking Your Majesty to enlist in person is not just for the old days. Hexi has been pushed away from the Central Plains for many years, and now the arrival of the king is to announce to the world the determination of the country to defend this place, and to show the people that there is a dynasty to protect it. ”

The emperor said, "I understand your intentions, and you have laid everything out." ”

Mu Changzhou said: "Your Majesty understands the minister's intentions, and now is the time to honor the other memorials. ”

There was a sudden silence in the hall, and the emperor was silent, and his tone was like to an old friend: "This is unfair to you, and I should show you the snow." ”

Mu Changzhou actually laughed, and his voice was low in his throat: "What I haven't done is called Zhaoxue, cut off my father and brother's head, isolate the Central Plains, do whatever it takes to achieve the goal, everything is black and white, even if there is a reason, I did it, why do I need Zhaoxue." ”

Shun Yin's right ear heard his low words, his heart tugged slightly, and when he saw him standing still, he held back.

Mu Changzhou suddenly lifted his clothes and bowed: "Please allow your majesty to allow me to play." ”

Shunyin didn't say anything, just took his clothes and bowed down.

The emperor stood silently for a moment, as if thinking about it carefully, and finally nodded: "Quasi-play." ”

After only a moment, everyone outside heard the loud voice of the forbidden army and announced that people entered the hall.

Zhang Junfeng and Hu Xiao'er were among them, and hurriedly dressed in, Hu Xiao'er was especially excited, and stroked his beard.

Immediately followed by the one who was called in, it was the governor of Ganzhou, Linghu Tuo.

Several people entered the hall to pay respects, and when they got up, they saw the emperor standing in front of the case, with a solemn face.

There were Mu Changzhou and Shunyin standing on the side, but they couldn't see any expressions.

The emperor motioned for a few people to get up, and said softly: "After this battle, the two foreign enemies were injured, and the fourteen states of Hexi were pacified. ”

Hu Xiao'er's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but rub her hands again.

The emperor continued: "According to the Liangzhou governor Mu Changzhou, Zuoshi Zhang Junfeng and Fantou Hu Xiao'er have all made great contributions to eradicating the traitorous enemies and thieves of the former governor's mansion, and they should be rewarded according to their merits." The soldiers of the Liangzhou battalions, all those who have made meritorious contributions to the defense of the country in addition to the enemy will be rewarded with merit. ”

Zhang Junfeng immediately thanked him.

Hu Xiao'er bowed down and was overjoyed.

The emperor took a step at his feet: "In addition, there are defense observation envoys on the fourteen states of Hexi to supervise the military and political affairs of each state, prevent the support of troops from trespassing, and prevent foreign enemies. The governor of Ganzhou ordered the Hutuo clan to be loyal and loyal, and was promoted to the defense observation envoy of Hexi Province. ”

Linghu Tuo looked at Mu Changzhou in surprise, and Zhang Junfeng and Hu Xiao'er also looked surprised.

Mu Changzhou's face did not change, and he didn't look at him.

Linghu Tuo stood for a moment before he remembered to kneel down and thank him.

The emperor paused for a moment before he said: "After the war, remove the position of the governor of Liangzhou, and change the general manager of the Liangzhou town army to the general manager of the Liangzhou marching army. ”

Several people were stunned, and all looked at Mu Changzhou in surprise.

Mu Changzhou turned his head and said outward, "Send it in." ”

Changfeng bowed his head and held the brocade box and sent it in.

He opened the brocade box, and inside was the seal letter of the governor of Liangzhou, and pushed his hand forward.

Changfeng was sent straight to the front and handed over to the forbidden army.

Mu Changzhou said: "India believes in return, and when it is stable after the war, the governor of Liangzhou will no longer be a permanent position, but only set up during wartime." During the war, the general manager of the 14 states coordinated the military power of the 14 states, jointly resisted foreign aggression, and resigned from office at the rest of the time, and the defense observation envoy cooperated with the 14 states to prevent invasion outside and prevent encroachment internally. The supreme military and political power will be returned to the DPRK and China. ”

The hall was already silent, and no one expected him to have such an arrangement.

After deliberately obtaining this position, he actually removed this position directly.

The emperor looked at him: "What about yourself?" ”

Mu Changzhou did not raise his voice, but he was always calm: "This is the policy I set for Your Majesty in Hexi, and thus I have completed my original appointment as a Xuanfu envoy and returned to Liangzhou." He paused for a moment, and then said, "Now that the internal thieves have been eradicated, the external troubles have been pacified, and the revenge has been lifted, I have also completed the explanation to the county government." Everything is done, I have already done it, and I will only be in Liangzhou in the future, and if I am useful, I will use it again. ”

Shunyin turned her head to look at him, without a trace of surprise, when he went out, he said that he had something to say, and he had already told her everything.

The person who was most obsessed with power at the beginning has now let go of power.

Mu Changzhou suddenly turned his head to look at her, and his voice was lower: "It's just that my wife has made great contributions, it shouldn't be like this, I said that if I want her to be the mistress of the fourteen states of Hexi, I will break my word." ”

Shun Yin remembered that when he was not healed, he once said: "It's nothing if I can't be the chief manager, but I can't let you be the hostess of the fourteen states of Hexi anymore, it's a pity." ”

She said at the time that she didn't care, and he asked if it was true, but now that she thinks about it, she has already planned it.

Thinking of this, she actually smiled and said, "I don't care." It's not that I haven't done it before, it's not special, and I'm already done. ”

Mu Changzhou pulled his lips lightly, stretched out his hand, and quietly held her fingers at his side.

The emperor glanced at Shunyin, and then looked at him: "I haven't forgotten your wife's merit and the merit of sealing the family, and you have your own arrangements." His voice was gentle, but his face was solemn, "From now on, although the governor of Liangzhou is only set up in wartime, if there is really that time, the governor will only be you Mu Changzhou." ”

Mu Changzhou did not speak, but only acquiesced in this responsibility.

"Besides......" the emperor's tone suddenly lowered, "I once said that I can't let the county duke disappear here, and from then on, you will inherit the county dukedom, at least the Wuwei county duke, and you will always have Liangzhou." ”

Shunyin looked to the side, and the fingers he was holding gently shook back.

Mu Changzhou stood still for a moment, and finally bowed: "Your Majesty." ”

Chapter 106

After many days of gloom and gloom, the sun broke through the stratus clouds, and the wind blew through the city again, and the chill was gone, sweeping away the last trace of war smoke and dust.

Liangzhou finally ushered in spring.

Near the East Temple, I don't know when there are a few more new shrines.

Linghu Tuo walked outside the ancestral hall, looked up, the eaves pointed to the sky, the high pillars stood, the simple but solemn three new halls, connected and standing.

The middle hall is the Mu Ancestral Hall, the county government.

He had heard that it was built by Mu Changzhou by ordering the demolition of the former governor's mansion.

The extravagant governor's mansion was destroyed in many places during the army, and it was renovated without cost, and after it was demolished, it was partly used to build a shrine, and partly to repair the damage during the war, and the rest was distributed to the people of the city.

Linghu Tuo was about to enter the shrine to worship, when he suddenly saw the hall on the left and stopped.

It was actually an ancestral temple built for the Linghu clan.

His heart shook, he endured the sourness in his eyes, turned his head to look to the right, The last ancestral temple was built for the innocent people in the east of the city.

In the Mu ancestral hall, someone walked out.
