Huo Zixin hurriedly ordered someone to put away Huang Chao's corpse, and this great achievement fell on him.

Xie Tong was confused, Huang Chao has achieved great things, in the end, it is nothing more than a handful of loess, fighting for the world for so many years, and working hard, just for the right that cannot be seen or touched, is this a little ridiculous.

The news of the fall of Huangchao spread all over the world, and those small forces who watched from the sidelines wrote to express their allegiance to the Tang Dynasty.

He is the most powerful man in the world, and he is under his command.

The army repaired in Jinan Mansion for six days before starting to set off for Luoyang.

Xie Tong counted the people, and the people brought from Xiangyang were less than a thousand, not even as good as Huo Zixin, Huo Zixin had been developing in Jiangnan for a year, and there were already 50,000 horses, which was quite large.

But all of these were calculated by Zhu Wen.

Zhu Wen invited Tang Xizong to seal Huo Zixin as the Marquis of Huaiyin, and all the people and horses he developed in Jiangnan were earned by Zhu Wen.

Xie Tong consulted with everyone and decided to retreat and advance and hand over the military power of more than 1,000 people first, in fact, these horses and horses don't play much of a role, Xie Tong doesn't want to affect them, it is enough to have Murong Longcheng and Shi Jingjiao's men and horses.

Five days later, the army arrived in Luoyang.

Tang Xizong launched the most solemn way of greeting in the country, ten miles out of the city, personally greeted, after all, this is a major event that caused a sensation in the whole country, Zhu Wen extinguished the rebellion of Huangchao, which has been a disaster in the Central Plains for decades, how can it not cause a sensation in the world.

Xie Tong and the others arrived outside Luoyang City, and everyone was amazed to see this grand way of greeting, all the cavalry, standing along both sides of the road, and the Year of the Dragon of Tang Xizong was put aside.

Zhu Wen immediately turned over and dismounted, and said, "See Your Majesty, Weichen is sincerely afraid."

Everyone knelt down to say goodbye to Zhu Wen's example.

Tang Xizong smiled slightly, he couldn't have imagined that two years ago, he fled to Sichuan and Shu in despair, and one day he could return to Luoyang, and what changed all this was in front of him, this person changed.

Tang Xizong said, "The general's merits are obvious to all, and it is not an exaggeration to receive this courtesy, I have issued a holy decree to amnesty the world, and a state banquet will be held in Luoyang Palace today, the general please!"

"Thank you!"

Everyone followed Tang Xizong and walked into Luoyang City.

Firecrackers are set off in the streets and alleys, and every house is lit up with lights, which is more lively than the New Year, and this grand event is highlighted everywhere, the world is peaceful, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Xie Tong looked at the people who welcomed him, and a different feeling surged in his heart, not because of the support of the people, but because he was infected by this enthusiasm, the ideal in his heart is that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and live a happy life, just like in front of him, but he can't help but feel melancholy, Zhu Wen, a person who is more powerful than Sima Xuan, will he do it?

Thinking of Shi Jingjiao's evaluation of Zhu Wen, he is an ambitious person, unwilling to be a courtier, he is like Sima Xuan, delusional to be the emperor.

In retrospect, this statement is forward-looking.

The people were lively all day, and in the evening, they put up fireworks and lanterns, which was the day they were most looking forward to.

The dinner was held in the Luoyang Palace, Tang Xizong rewarded all the soldiers who crusaded against the Yellow Nest, and those who had a head and face had the opportunity to settle in the palace, and other soldiers also drank happily in the barracks.

After the banquet began, Tang Xizong sat on the throne with a decent appearance and said with a smile. Ladies and gentlemen, since the return of the nest to start a rebellion, it has been more than 20 years, I have been unstable day and night in the past 20 years, although the front and back to fight, after several generations of generals, can not be destroyed, but also by the Yellow Nest into Chang'an, is a great shame, finally the sky opened his eyes, give me the general Zhu Wen, conquer the north and south, and finally destroy the Yellow Nest, recover the rivers and mountains, go to my heart of a serious illness, I this cup, I respect General Zhu, from now on, Zhu Wen is the king of Ruyang, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and the commander of the world's soldiers and horses. ”

Everyone exclaimed, this kind of right, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, has never existed, even Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who were in power back then, did not have such majesty, it can be said that Zhu Wen mastered the army of the empire, is the most powerful figure in the entire empire, and is a real and nameless ruler, speaking of seriousness, he can completely depose the emperor.

Tang Xizong made such a decision is shocking, but he is also helpless, after Huang Chao occupied Chang'an and became emperor, the down-and-out imperial family has completely lost the ability to control the army, and Zhu Wen's counterattack blow, not only recovered the lost territory, but also gathered Huang Chao's surrender troops, all the soldiers obeyed him, only listened to him alone, Tang Xizong only could use it, was Song Wenyuan's Shu army, and the Shu army in front of Zhu Wen's army, is vulnerable, if he conspired against Zhu Wen's will, Zhu Wen will abolish him at any time, in desperation, he had to appease Zhu Wen, looking for an opportunity to weaken his military power。

Tang Xizong couldn't have imagined that after beating away the Yellow Nest, he actually cultivated a powerful Zhu Wen, although Zhu Wen was respectful, but no matter what, he had a deep feeling of unsteadiness.

Zhu Wen did not have the slightest intention of refusing, Zhu Wen knelt on the ground and shouted, "Thank you, Lord Longen, Weichen will do his best to protect the stability of the Tang Empire." ”

Tang Xizong smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's be even!"

Zhu Wen kowtowed again, got up and returned to his seat.

Tang Xizong got up and picked up his wine glass, and said, "To celebrate the extermination of the Yellow Nest, come and have a toast to us!"

Everyone raised their wine glasses and saluted Tang Xizong, and everyone drank it all.

Xie Tong was no exception, but he deeply felt that this wine was no longer so sweet, full of a bitter taste, the situation was out of his control, and a sense of powerlessness arose.

The dinner officially entered the theme, and Tang Xizong said, "Although today is a state banquet and the whole country celebrates, you Aiqing do not have to be formal, you can speak freely, and you will not get drunk tonight."

Everyone began to talk to each other, and the dinner became very joyful.

Xie Tong looked at this cheerful and harmonious atmosphere, and his heart was not a taste, the entire civil war for more than 20 years, countless dead and wounded soldiers, but Tang Xizong didn't mention a word, only counted Zhu Wen's own credit, which is really embarrassing. Perhaps in the eyes of this group of emperors and nobles, ordinary soldiers and poor people are not worth mentioning!

He frustratedly picked up his wine glass and took a big sip, and the spicy sensation immediately hit his body.

Hong Shan seemed to see Xie Tong's dissatisfaction, she leaned in front of Xie Tong and said, "Brother Tong, aren't you happy?"

Xie Tong said in a low voice, "I really want to kill her with a sword." ”

Hong Shan was surprised and said, "Brother Tong, don't be reckless, calm down, who do you want to kill!" Is it Song Wenyuan, is it Uncle Shi, or is it the emperor!"

Yes, Xie Tong said in his heart, there are too many people he wants to kill, these sanctimonious and high-sounding people, all of them are people who are dressed in human skin, bright on the outside, and ugly to the extreme on the inside, and they, with the most superior treatment in the empire, enjoy the respect of the people, but they don't think about the safety of the poor people, they only think about fighting for power and profit, and they are immortal, which is really unreasonable.

Hong Shan gently held his hand and said, "Brother Hitomi, be calm, this is definitely not the time to be angry, you have to think about our plan, our future." We can't let those scumbags see us laughing!"

When Xie Tong heard this, he calmed down, his eyes swept over his seat, and he found that Song Wenyuan opposite was staring at him tightly, his eyes were full of disdain and provocation, and he had a feeling of not putting him in his eyes.

Xie Tong met Song Wenyuan's gaze without fear.

Song Wenyuan smiled wickedly, didn't pay attention to him, and instead chatted with the dignitaries beside him.

Xie Tong said in his heart, Song Wenyuan, don't be complacent, Lao Tzu will peel your skin sooner or later.

Everyone was laughing, Zhu Wen stood up, strode to the center of the hall, and saluted Tang Xizong.

When the crowd saw his actions and knew that he had something to say, they all fell silent.

Zhu Wen looked around for a week, and said in a loud voice, "Holy Lord, Weichen has something to ask for!"

Tang Xizong was confused, and doubts were in his heart, could it be that something touched this hero, he smiled slightly, and said, "Aiqing, please speak!"

Zhu Wen held his head high and said, "Shengshang, General Song Wenyuan was originally worthy to see through the red dust, and has become a nun, Weichen thought about it for a long time, and decided to marry the apprentice Shang Caiwei to General Wenyuan, this is a fortunate thing, please ask the Holy Lord's permission." ”

Tang Xizong was slightly stunned, and said, "There is such a thing, hey, General Song's wife is the daughter of Dr. Hong!" He suddenly thought that Xie Tong and this Shang Caiwei seem to have something to do with it, could it be that Zhu Wen actually has some dislike with Xie Tong? This is good news for him, Xie Tong is a tiger general, it seems that he has never missed the battle between the north and the south, there are rumors that the Turkic wolf army was defeated outside the Saiwai, if he can be brought back, maybe he can curb Zhu Wen's growing power, in the eyes of Tang Xizong, Xie Tong is an out-and-out loyal minister.

Therefore, he paused and said quietly, "Does General Song agree?"

Song Wenyuan stood up and said, "The last general agrees to this marriage, please ask the Holy Lord to give you a marriage!"

The eyes of the audience were all focused on Tang Xizong, so it seemed that Xie Tong and Zhu Wen had broken up, and it would be interesting to see how Tang Xizong handled this matter.

Tang Xizong pondered for a moment and said, "This is indeed a happy event, but when Song Hong got married, it was also my marriage, the same person, twice married, this is a bit unruly, it seems to damage the majesty of the royal family! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Wen and Song Wenyuan leaked embarrassed looks at the same time, Zhu Wen had an idea, and said, "It's Weichen who has not considered it, please atone for your sins!"

Tang Xizong smiled slightly, and said, "It's okay, but I am still quite satisfied with this matter, and from now on, I will canonize Shang Caiwei as the lord of Anwar!"

He didn't go on, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had agreed to the marriage.

Hong Shan was furious, Song Wenyuan's insult to her sister was something she couldn't bear no matter what, which really damaged a person's reputation, especially when she was brought to the public to talk, which greatly damaged the reputation of her Hong family, so she stood up and said, "Holy Lord, General Song's words are a little biased, my sister did not become a nun, but saw through the despicable behavior of some people, so she chose to leave, and this matter must be clarified." ”

Everyone was taken aback, this Hong Shan was really bold, and he was not afraid of any occasion.

Tang Xizong let out an "oh" and turned his gaze to Song Wenyuan to see how he explained.

Song Wenyuan seemed to have been prepared, and said eloquently, "Shengshang, Miss Hong, this matter is really a bit of a misunderstanding, General Xie Tong was framed and killed Dr. Hong before, and it turned out that it was Sima Xiangru who instructed the people of the Hong Mansion to poison him, so as to blame General Xie, Hong Ye did not know the truth, was bewitched by the traitor, and pushed the matter to himself, so there was some misunderstanding, so he divorced. I was indeed wronged. ”

Tang Xizong said, "I see, it seems that I have also wronged General Xie, it is all a good thing done by Sima Xuan's father and son, but their father and son have already surrendered to the law, and it is difficult to conclude, so this matter will be stopped!"

Xie Tong hurriedly ran out of his seat and knelt on the ground.

Tang Xizong shouted, "Because of Xie Tong's meritorious service in suppressing bandits, from now on, General Feng Tiangong will be the second rank of official residence." Jurisdiction over Jinan Mansion for a generation. ”

Xie Tong was overjoyed, knowing that this was Tang Xizong enveloping him, and shouted, "Thank you, Lord Longen."

Zhu Wen's face was pale, and he said in his heart, he actually underestimated Tang Xizong, it seems that he must give him a little color, let him know that he knows how powerful.

Xie Tong returned to his seat and saw Song Wenyuan opposite, his eyes revealed a look of hatred, and he stole Song Wenyuan's limelight again and again, making Song Wenyuan lose his mind a little.

Suddenly, he thought about it and said with a smile, "Shengshang, there is no fancy banquet, it's too monotonous, the last general is willing to work with General Song to play tricks, open everyone's eyes, and ask the Holy Lord for permission." ”

In the face of Xie Tong's blatant provocation, Song Wenyuan was furious, at this moment, although he knew that his martial arts were not as good as Xie Tong, he couldn't refuse, otherwise he would lose face.

He stood up suddenly and said, "I have this intention, please ask for the grace of God."

Tang Xizong didn't expect Xie Tong to be so powerful, and he was also quite worried in his heart, and he didn't know what to do!

Suddenly, Zhu Wen said coldly, "Shengshang, as a general, there is no such thing as being amiable, on the battlefield, since ancient times, it has been a king and a loser, but General Song was seriously injured during the crusade against Huangchao, and he has not yet recovered.

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Thinking that when they were in Chengdu a year ago, Zhu Wen and Xie Tong were still inseparable, and now for Song Wenyuan, they turned against each other, which is really incredible.

Xie Tong also didn't expect Zhu Wen to make such a move, but what he said just now was too ostentatious, and the words he said were like water splashed out, and it was impossible to retreat at this moment.

He got up and came to the center of the hall, and said with a slight smile, "Since Uncle Shi has the heart to test the teacher's nephew, how can Xie Tong disappoint Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi, please!"

He made a gesture of please. (To be continued.) )
