Zhao Xuanyi looked at Tang Mi
"Originally I planned to have this celebration banquet and leave in the afternoon. Bai Shanxiao comes first, and the eldest princess also gave me an order to return to the capital as soon as possible. After a few months, if nothing happens, I can come over again Play, when the burden is lifted and you can play happily, wouldn't it be nice!" Tang Wujie nodded after hearing this.
"General Zhao is a loyal minister and a filial son, and I admire him. That being the case, in a few months, when the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and spring passes and summer comes, General Zhao must come to my Far East and let me fulfill my loyalty as a landlord!" "
"Xuanyi will definitely come when the time comes!" Zhao Xuanyi raised his glass and said. Tang Yue also lifted him up and was
"General Zhao, let's make a deal. I'll wait for you to come over, and then we'll drink three hundred jars together!"
"Definitely!" Zhao Xuanyi nodded with a smile, and then drank the wine with everyone! After enjoying a banquet all morning, Zhao Xuanyi led all the Qilin Guards to leave the Far East Military Camp in the afternoon, and Tang Wujie did not break his promise. In this campaign, he captured more than 2,300 horses and more than 50 vehicles. All kinds of weapons were brought back by Zhao Xuanyi!
Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself, my Qilin Guard seems to be well-equipped, but in fact it is strong on the outside but hard on the inside! I also want to fuse these weapons to make weapons or armor. Fine iron is too expensive!
As for the order outside the Great Wall that Tang Wujie had promised, Zhao Xuanyi was too embarrassed to ask for it, so he gave up on it!
Tang Mi's eyes were red. She really wished she could spend a few more days with Zhao Xuanyi, but Zhao Xuanyi really had orders and had to leave. This made Tang Mi reluctant to leave!
When Li Hanyan saw Tang Mi's pitiful eyes, she couldn't be more happy. She thought to herself, just look at it and ask my husband, Fang Tian, if he wants to answer my Huaji.
After Zhao Xuanyi, Yun Yu and Tang Wujie said goodbye, they took all the supplies and started on their way back to Beijing! In the capital, there are still loud sounds of firecrackers and laughter. It is hard to celebrate the new year. Everyone is immersed in the strong flavor of the new year. At this time, not only the people, but also the officials have seven days of holiday, so the capital is very busy. The quietness!
Zhu Yuejun took the booklet given by Yue Wei, came to the imperial study room, and gently placed it in front of Zhu Chufeng.
"Brother Emperor, there is no mission allowed. Zhao Xuanyi has recaptured all five lost cities, and the Jurchen army has retreated!" After hearing this, Zhu Chufeng raised his head with relief.
"What a great Zhao Xuanyi. Thanks to Yuejun, you personally cultivated him and he is a great general! This thing was done so beautifully! I have been very happy this year! Hahaha!" Zhu Yuejun sat on a chair nearby
"Zhao Xuanyi will be able to return to the capital soon. I wonder how the emperor plans to reward him?" Speaking of rewards, Zhu Chufeng smiled and turned to look at Zhu Yuejun.
"Yuejun, what do you think?" Zhu Yuejun rolled his eyes and smiled slightly.
"Me? How dare I mention it casually? It's up to you, brother, to decide!"
"Brothers and sisters, let's stop singing the double act. If you have something to say, just say it!" Zhu Yuejun nodded.
"Yue Jun has an idea. Zhao Xuanyi can complete the emperor's orders in such a short time. At least he is much better than those military generals who brag all day long, so the reward should be larger this time. Firstly, Zhao Xuanyi did too much this time. It’s so beautiful, I got it all back in just a few days!”
"The second is to show other generals and military camps that our royal family's money is not used to support trash like them. If you are really capable, you will not treat him badly!" After hearing this, Zhu Chufeng was a little surprised.
"Yuejun, what you just said was that the reward would be bigger?"
"That's right! Although Zhao Xuanyi has made great achievements, he is still young. Now he has just emerged. If he is granted an official title, I am afraid he will be very happy with his achievements. How many young people are dazzled by such achievements, so this time only Give rewards, not titles!" Zhu Yuejun said.
After Zhu Chufeng heard this, he looked at Zhu Yuejun with a smile
"Mr. Yue is still thoughtful, but if we only give rewards but not titles, it really seems that our royal family is too harsh!"
"What does the emperor mean?"
"What rank is Zhao Xuanyi now?" Zhu Chufeng asked.
"Third grade!"
"Oh! So that's it. Let's make him a second-grade general and give him the name General Xiangyun. In the future, he can be like an auspicious cloud. If there is a war in the Ming Dynasty, he can go there and give me this timely rain!" Zhu Chufeng said loudly.
A bright smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Yuejun's mouth, and then she replied as before
"Thank you, Emperor Brother, for the reward. After Zhao Xuanyi returns to the capital, we will announce it to the Jinluan Palace!"
"Well, that's it! As for the reward, here's what you do!"
"Yes! Yuejun will keep it in mind!" Zhu Yuejun nodded and said
"But Brother Emperor, what should the Far Eastern Army do this time? Although these five cities were brought back by Zhao Xuanyi, the last city was still the result of Tang Mi's negotiation!"
"Hmph! Tang Wujie, this confused general, thinks I don't know? He clearly used the people Zhao Xuanyi snatched back in exchange for the city, and he still has the nerve to say it was his own credit!" Zhu Chufeng said angrily.
"But the Far East Army has contributed after all!" Zhu Chufeng sighed
"This time I have recovered the five cities of the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as a surprise. I will fine Tang Wujie a year's salary. The merits and demerits will be equal to each other, and he will serve as a warning. If he dares to do it again, he will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes!" Zhu Yuejun said. Three days later, Zhao Xuanyi led the Qilin Guards back to the capital. Zhao Xuanyi breathed a sigh of relief.
"It still feels good to be home!" Everyone laughed after hearing this. Zhao Xuanyi first ordered
"Transport all the war horses and weapons back to Qilin Camp and take good care of them. All Qilin Guards have three days off and have a good rest! Tomorrow I will make up for the New Year for all brothers. Kill the pigs early tomorrow morning and take out all the wine. Brothers, have a good day. If you don’t have enough meat, kill them directly. If you don’t have enough wine, buy them now! You must take care of the wine and meat! Tang Tianli, Sun Yan, you arrange this matter!"
"Yes! General, don't worry, we will definitely figure it out!" Tang Tianli shouted loudly. When everyone was talking about the matter, they saw a group of horses galloping towards them, with a woman wearing a white skirt and coat sitting on the horse. When Li Jin took a look, Zhao Xuanyi recognized her and smiled slightly.
"Hey, isn't this Sister Nanzhu? Come to pick me up?" Nanzhu rolled his eyes at Zhao Xuanyi, and then shouted with a serious face
"Zhao Xuanyi listens to the announcement!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanyi immediately dismounted and knelt on the ground. When Li Hanyan and other Qilin Guards saw this, they also dismounted and knelt on the ground!
"If you order Zhao Xuanyi, you can attack. If you receive a reward, don't neglect it!" Nan Zhu shouted loudly.
"I accept the order and thank you!" Zhao Xuanyi stood up, patted the snow on his body, and then looked at Nanzhu
"Going right now?"
"Yes, the morning court has not ended yet, and I am waiting for your triumphant return! Congratulations to General Zhao first!" Nanzhu said with a smile.
"General, go quickly! The emperor has personally sealed you!" Tang Tianli shouted loudly.
"Yes, General, we can't wait too long, go quickly!" Sun Yan helped Zhao Xuanyi ride on Aoxue, and all the soldiers happily blessed Zhao Xuanyi!
"Sure, I'll go first. You guys go back to the military camp. Brother Shen, I'll leave everything to you!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
"Young master, don't worry!" Shen Wei was happier than anyone else. He thought to himself that the master would be very happy to see that the young master is now serving in the palace. This is a major event that will bring glory to the family. He must be very happy!
Shen Wei's eyes were red and he cried with joy! Zhao Xuanyi looked at Li Hanyan
"Let's go, let's go together!" Li Hanyan pointed to herself
"I'll go? Okay? Didn't the Emperor ask you to go by yourself?"
"Let's go!" Zhao Xuanyi pulled Li Hanyan from her horse. The two of them rode on Aoxue. Zhao Xuanyi patted Aoxue's neck.
"Let's go and get the reward!" Aoxue seemed to know that today was a good day, and immediately spread out her four hooves and rushed towards the palace.
Zhao Xuanyi came to the Meridian Gate and was stopped by soldiers. After Zhao Xuanyi and Li Hanyan dismounted, they walked into the palace together under the leadership of Nan Zhu. Although it was not the first time here, this feeling was different. Today was the time to receive a reward!
Zhao Xuanyi and Li Hanyan came to the main hall together and saw all the civil and military officials from the court. When the two entered the main hall, everyone's eyes were focused on the two people!
At this moment, Zhao Xuanyi felt extremely glorious. He felt as if he was above others. With a happy smile on his face, he walked with great dignity. He walked step by step with his legs in all directions, enjoying this unique feeling. My own glory!
Li Hanyan is also very happy. Although it is her husband who is awarded the title, it is also her honor. He is my husband and my son-in-law!
Li Hanyan also straightened her back and walked vigorously! When all the officials in the court saw Zhao Xuanyi coming in, they all cast envious glances, thinking that Zhao Mingqing's son was really well-raised. Who could not be happy when he came back from his first expedition with such a beautiful battle?
Of course, not everyone sent blessings. The eyes of several people in the crowd became very sinister. Among them was Ye Yaoming. Although Ye Yaoming knew that Zhao Xuanyi was capable, he surpassed himself, which made him very dissatisfied. , if he was allowed to go to the Far East, maybe... he might not be able to recover so quickly. Thinking of this, Ye Yaoming felt a tightness in his chest!
Hold it, don't vomit blood on this occasion today! Zhao Xuanyi saw his father standing in the crowd, smiling at him, with tears in his eyes. He must be excited, right?
Father-in-law Li Yukun also came, wearing a set of golden armor and looking mighty and domineering. He laughed when he saw him.
Looking up, he saw Zhu Chufeng sitting on the dragon chair, and there was another chair under the stage. Zhu Yuejun was sitting there. After seeing him, he also smiled!
Zhao Xuanyi and Li Hanyan kneeled in front of the hall
"I, Zhao Xuanyi, see the Emperor!"
"Hahaha...!" Zhu Chufeng laughed happily
"My dear, please get up, this time you represent our Ming Dynasty and give those Jurchen barbarians a resounding slap in the face!"
"Fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission. This time we cooperated with the Far East Army and regained the city, which is really a blessing from the Emperor!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
Ouch, this little mouth is really good at talking! The more Zhu Chufeng listened, the more satisfied he became
"Zhao Aiqing, your son is not only talented in literature, he is also a hero in the military!" Zhao Mingqing hurriedly saluted with clasped fists.
"The emperor has given you the award. My son is just a fledgling, and he relies on the emperor's blessing!"
"Hahaha!" Zhu Chufeng laughed, then looked at Zhu Yuejun aside and waved! Zhu Yuejun stood up and walked to the front of the hall
"Zhao Xuanyi accepts the seal!"
"I'm here!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
"Zhao Xuanyi led five hundred generals to the Far East to regain the city, repel the Jurchen barbarians, and protect our Ming Dynasty. He showed the strength of our army and the bravery in combat. He is truly a leader among the younger generation! I announce that Zhao Xuanyi will be granted the title of Xiangyun. General, with a second-grade official rank, three hundred taels of silver, twenty bolts of silk, one hundred stones of grain, and one hundred acres of land, I admire this!" Zhu Yuejun shouted loudly.
"I accept the order and thank you!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted loudly. Zhu Chufeng looked at Zhao Xuanyi with a smile
"Zhao Xuanyi, do you know why I gave you the title of General Xiangyun?"
"This...?" Zhao Xuanyi paused.
"I am stupid!"
"Hahaha! They say that you, Zhao Xuanyi, have great literary talent, but I don't believe that you don't know. I forgive you for your innocence. Tell me!" Zhu Chufeng said with a smile.
Zhao Xuanyi thought for a while and then said
"Your Majesty probably wants Xuanyi to be a thin cloud in the sky. Then when there is a war, let me put out the fire!"
"Yes!" Zhu Chufeng shouted, pointing at Zhao Xuanyi
"I will ask you, this auspicious cloud, to give me a timely rain at this critical moment. Zhao Xuanyi, you can do it!"
"I must bear no responsibility and wait for your Majesty's call!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted loudly.
"Okay! Well done! Hahaha!" Zhu Chufeng laughed happily, and everyone in the court nodded in congratulations. When the emperor is happy, who dares to cry?
An eunuch was holding a tribute plate in both hands. On it was a brand new set of armor. Zhao Xuanyi recognized it at a glance. Isn't this the armor of a second-grade general?
Li Hanrui has it and has seen it himself! Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly took it over
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhu Chufeng turned to look at Li Yukun
"I said General Li, your son-in-law is already a second-grade general. He will catch up with you soon. Aren't you afraid of this?" Li Yukun threw his head back and laughed after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, my son-in-law is better than his master. It's too late for me to be happy! I think it's Mr. Zhao Mingqing who should be afraid, right? His son is already in the second grade, but he is still in the third grade!"
"Hahaha...!" All the officials in the entire hall laughed.
