On the eighth day of the first month of April, it is advisable to marry, break ground, go to the beam, it is advisable to travel far away, and benefit the north; outside the northwest gate of Shenglong City, the capital of the Great Yan Emperor, the flag is displayed, and the three miles outside the door are all clean water splashing streets, Loess mat road, a 100-meter red carpet spread in the official road, one end of the red carpet stretches straight to the northwest, the other end is a six-foot-high wooden platform, there is a dragon chair at the end of the bright yellow jade cover on the high platform, on the top of the dragon chair sits the empress dowager Zhang Xiuchun of Dayan, and the queen mother is less than five years old in the arms of the emperor Tianyou Dayan; on both sides of the dragon chair stands the palace maid eunuch, and there is a beautiful woman, just standing straight under the jade cover, her eyes are full of affection to the northwest and looking into the distance, her hands are tightly holding a silk handkerchief, her expression is full of anxiety and expectation, and it seems that there is still a trace of shyness, Zhao Xueqin looked at the northwest from afarZhao Xueqin thought about how he would marry him, join hands with him for the rest of his life, and give birth to children for him! Thinking of Zhao Xueqin's face this time, endless crimson suddenly hung on his face; on both sides of the red carpet under the high platform, hundreds of civil and military officials stood on both sides, and the first civil official to stand was Tan Yu, the prime minister of the current dynasty, Tan Yu stood at the head of the team and closed his eyes slightly, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 The head of the info military attache team stood a veteran, his beard was white, the old general stood his sword upright on the ground, his hands caressed the hilt of the sword, although it was just such a simple station, but there was a kind of momentum between heaven and earth, behind him all the generals stood upright, looking at the old general's expression or awe, or fear; at this moment, a mile away in the northwest suddenly salute shook the sky, from the corner of the mountain a team slowly drove slowly, gradually approaching the imperial capital; "Close, close! He is back!" Zhao Xueqin looked at the team that was slowly coming, looked at the general in the silver helmet and silver armor on the other side, tears quietly slipped down his cheeks, and unconsciously Zhao Xueqin slowly moved his steps in the direction of the team, at this time there was a light cough behind him, Zhao Xueqin turned his head to look at Zhang Xiuchun on the dragon chair, Zhang Xiuchun's eyes were full of doting rebuke, Zhao Xueqin's face was red again, and he stopped moving forward;

Not long after, the team has traveled a mile away, the team suddenly stopped, only the two people led forward, the two walked to the front of the emperor and knelt down, Liu Zhiyuan said loudly: "Long live my emperor, the slave returns from the northwest, may my emperor long live long live, long live the queen mother, long live the queen mother." Liu Zhiyuan said that Wen Sicheng arched his hand and said: "Minister, Wen Sicheng, the general of Fuyuan in the Northwest Province, is ordered to return to the court, may my emperor live long live, long live long live, and the queen mother will be thousands of years old." After the two finished speaking, Zhang Xiuchun's leisurely voice came from the high platform: "Two Aiqing, please get up, Gonggong Liu has passed the decree for thousands of miles, and his hard work is high, so let's go down to receive the reward and rest for the time being!" Liu Zhiyuan thanked him when he heard the words, and at this time only Wen Sicheng stood alone in the field, and everyone's eyes were focused on Wen Sicheng alone, and all eyes were either curious or envious, Or jealousy, only a gaze full of hot love, Wen Sicheng looked up and saw that beautiful face, the years have not left some traces on her face, but the face of the flower is slightly haggard, Wen Sicheng has a cramp in his heart, his eyes are full of pity, Zhao Xueqin seems to understand Wen Sicheng's eyes, tears burst down; at this moment, the little emperor's milky voice came from the high platform: "Mother, you see his armor is broken!" Zhang Xiuchun looked at the son she was pregnant with gently, turned her head and said, "Wen Aiqing has gone all the way?" Wen Sicheng arched his hand and said: "Empress Dowager, although there is a small obstacle on the return of Weichen all the way, it is not enough to shake the prestige of our army. When Zhang Xiuchun heard Wen Sicheng say this, he seemed to be relieved in his heart, and said: "Okay, good! Wen Aiqing is really heroic, come to people, and make noise!" Zhang Xiuchun's voice fell, and several eunuchs walked out after the jade cover, and a eunuch led by him held a volume of holy decrees in both hands, came to the front of the jade cover and slowly opened the holy decree to face the civil and military officials: " Fengtian carrier, the emperor summoned and said, the general of Fuyuan in the northwest province Wen Sicheng has been stationed in the border for many years, protecting the frontier to resist the barbarians, protecting my frontier without losing, and I am hundreds of millions of trillion Li people, and now Wen Si has become the Marquis of Lingxiao, in charge of Ling Yunwei, leading the post of captain, and in charge of the affairs of the world's soldiers and horses. Although he has commanded 120,000 soldiers in the northwest over the years, most of them are border troops guarding the border fortress, and he can only call tens of thousands, and the official position is only four grades, but this time when he returned to Beijing, he was named a marquis and a general before he entered the capital, and the official was a captain, ranking as the third duke, and everyone grew up and looked at the mother and son on the high platform blankly. When everyone was not awake from the shock of Fang Cai, they saw the little emperor in Zhang Xiuchun's arms suddenly ran towards Wen Sicheng, and when Wen Sicheng approached, the little emperor put one hand behind his back and pointed at Wen Sicheng with the other hand: "Bold Wen Sicheng, are you guilty?" Wen Sicheng heard the emperor say this, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "The minister is afraid, the minister really doesn't know what crime he has committed?" Wen Sicheng, you have been on the side for a long time, fighting your battles and fighting on your side, but you ignored Aunt Xiling in the deep palace, and the aunt who hurt her didn't have the heart to play with me. You are simply a great sin, you you, you still don't know the sin!" So people couldn't help but laugh when they heard the emperor say this, Wen Sicheng immediately knelt down on the ground and said: "The minister is guilty, please give your majesty the guilt!" The little emperor stood in front of Wen Sicheng again and said loudly: "I now order you to marry my Aunt Xiling on the same day without delay." At this time, even though Wen Sicheng was dominant, his face was slightly red, and then he looked at the Xiling County Lord on the high platform with a crimson face, Wen Sicheng blushed and said: "The minister obeys the order!" The voice fell, and Zhang Xiuchun's voice came from behind the little emperor: "Lin'er, don't make trouble, come here!" The little emperor laughed and threw himself into Zhang Xiuchun's arms, and when he saw Zhao Xueqin's crimson corridor, he let out a "giggle" laugh, Zhang Xiuchun hugged his son and looked up to Wen Sicheng: " Wen Aiqing, although the emperor is young, but what he said is indeed true, your parents are dead, and your family affairs will be decided by the old general Fang! Tonight, the mourning family will hold a banquet in the Taihe Palace, and invite the old general Fang to come and talk to the mourning family about your family affairs" At this time, the old general who was the first military attache to stand walked out of the queue, bowed slightly, and said: "The old minister obeys the order", and then returned to the queue to stand. Zhang Xiuchun then said: "Okay, Wen Aiqing has come back all the way, the journey is tiring, let's go down and rest! Come on, drive back to the palace!" After a while, the palace waited for Zhang Xiuchun to walk towards the palace, leaving only two reluctant eyes and the shadow that could not be erased from Wen Sicheng's mind for a long time.

After the emperor slowly walked away, the civil and military officials were all sent away, Tan Yu, who was originally standing at the head of the civil official team, walked straight to Wen Sicheng, and arched his hands before and after he got closer: "Congratulations, General Wen is newly promoted to marquis, the official worships the captain, and he is about to marry the county lord, and he is really young and promising, which really makes the old man ashamed!" Wen Sicheng immediately said modestly: "The prime minister has a good reputation, it is all the grace of heaven, Sicheng will definitely smear his liver and brain, in case of emergency" Tan Yu laughed loudly when he heard this: "Hahaha, the Hou Ye is really too humble." Look at the heroic spirit of Hou Ye, he is really the pillar of my Dayan, if Hou Ye is free another day, Tan still wants to bother and disturb him!" Wen Sicheng heard Tan Yu say this, his heart was slightly strange, but his face was silent, and he said with a smile: "How dare he! If he is free, Wen will definitely come to visit!" Saying this, Tan Yu laughed and said yes, and then said goodbye. All the civil officials followed Tan Yu to the city, and when they passed by Wen Sicheng, they all smiled, saluted Wen Sicheng, and expressed their goodwill to the new young magnates of this dynasty.

After Tan Yu took the people away, Wen Sicheng immediately came to the veteran, knelt down on his knees and bowed, and said, "Boy Wen Sicheng visited General Fang, and I wish the general good health." I saw the old general caressing the long hair on his chest with his hand, and said with a slight smile: "Well, Zhuo boy is like a war, this provocative eye is not bad!" Wen Sicheng bowed again when he heard this, and said: "Old General Xie praises!" "Okay! Don't talk about these things that you don't have! You have returned from afar, and you have taken over the big responsibility, you should be busy first! Come to my house later, I have something to say to you!" Wen Sicheng nodded and respectfully watched the old general enter the city. After the old general and his entourage left, the generals surrounded Wen Sicheng. "Master Hou, congratulations!" "Lord Taiwei, I will go to your house at the end of tomorrow。。。。。。 For a while, Wen Sicheng was dizzy by these people. In the distance, a soldier of the Wen Army whispered to Xiao Ran: "Brother Xiao, the group of people who left just now just smiled at the general. But now it's too enthusiastic!" Xiao Ran glanced at the pro-soldier beside him and said: "You know a fart, our general will be a captain in the future, and he will take care of them!" In the eyes of the pro-soldier, Xiao Ran walked towards Wen Sicheng, walked closer and said: "General, who is the old general who just entered the city? Why are you so respectful?" Wen Sicheng turned his head and looked at the direction in which the old general was leaving: "He?" After a long silence, Wen Sicheng said leisurely: "It's a big person!"
