In the capital, 60,000 border guards plus 10,000 Qilin guards quickly cleared all the rebel corpses from the streets and alleys of the capital. The ground was also swept with clean water. When it was daylight, all civil and military officials entered the palace as usual. Go to court.
But what's a little strange is that today the city gate is full of ashes, the streets of the capital are exceptionally clean, and the garrison guards everywhere in the capital have all been replaced, and they all seem to be unfamiliar faces, and there are still some skirmishers on the streets and alleys. On patrol!
Among this group of people, only one person knew the truth, and that was Zhao Mingqing. Although he had been protected throughout the whole battle and did not even have a chance to draw his sword, this did not delay his understanding of the overall situation. Today, the old man felt like a beautiful!
This palace and the capital city were taken over by his own son. I am sure the emperor will give him a big reward. Promotions and titles are the most basic. The most important thing is that his old face will be shining!
The civil and military officials still went to court. Zhu Chufeng had not gone to court for many days. Today, he suddenly went to court. The civil and military officials were also surprised, but they were surprised and did not say anything. After all, no one could enter the hall. He is a fool. What is going on? Everyone thinks the same as Ming Jing!
After the morning court, Zhu Chufeng came to the imperial study and called Zhu Yuejun. After Zhu Yuejun came to the imperial study, he hurriedly said, "Brother, why don't you go to rest after the morning court? Why did you ask me to come?"
Zhu Chufeng took a deep breath, "Yuejun, during this royal turmoil, Zhao Xuanyi failed to save you at first, but he rescued you and hid in pain outside. After a few months, you came back again. Only then did you succeed in saving you. You say... What shall I reward him with?"
"This...Brother, you can make the decision, how dare I say anything at will!"
"I forgive you!"
Zhu Yuejun calmly thought about it, "General Zhao failed to rescue you the first time, but he tried his best. This time he joined forces with the border guards General Li Hanrui and General Li Hanyan to rescue you and eradicate the enemy! You must have contributed! But the fourth prince was killed." Forced to death, this is indeed a fly in the ointment, why not just balance the merits and demerits, without reward or punishment?"
Zhu Chufeng laughed after hearing this, "That's not advisable. Although I can't reward the rescuer this time in court, if everyone is like this, then if I am in trouble in the future, who will come to rescue me? Well, it wasn't the general before. His position as Duke has been removed, and now he is reinstated! The position of Lord Protector is still his, and at the same time he is restored to the position of Grand Scholar!"
"Yes! My sister thanked the emperor on his behalf! What about Li Hanrui and Li Hanyan?" Zhu Yuejun asked.
"Let them forget it. This time Li Yukun was captured together with me, and then went out to fight against the Tatars and Oaras. It is considered a meritorious service. I will reward Li Yukun with a hundred pieces of silk and satin, a thousand taels of gold, and a plaque of mighty general! Bring him back and face the saint. , I will reward you again!"
"Yes, I will immediately notify Li Hanrui and Li Hanyan to meet the saint in person and receive a plaque to express their gratitude!"
"Huh? Where is Zhao Xuanyi? Why doesn't my Lord Protector come?" Zhu Chufeng asked.
"This...?" Zhu Yuejun thought to himself, how do you say this? Could it be that he was too sad for the woman he loved? "General Zhao has been busy with today's counterattack, but he forced the fourth prince to death outside the main hall. Now he is heartbroken and has returned to the military camp to recuperate!"
"Hey, my Lord Protector! You sent someone to express condolences, and you must let him take good care of himself. It's not his fault, so why punish yourself?"
"Yes, my sister will go in person!" Zhu Yuejun said.
After all matters in the capital were dealt with, Li Hanrui left two thousand people behind. The city gates and various places where soldiers were needed could not be confirmed. Wang Heming led all the Dali Temple detectives to search for the remaining members of the fourth prince throughout the city. They must be eradicated. !
Li Hanrui and Li Hanyan led a large number of troops back to the Qilin Guards. The border guards were naturally very happy. After all, they had won a big victory this time and had a great success. They could brag about this for the rest of their lives!
On the other hand, the Qilin Guards were unhappy. Tang Tianli and Sun Yan had chased them for dozens of miles out of the capital, but they could not find Tuoba Duoduo. The thousand-watt army outside the capital was also attacking them. They quietly evacuated the city without catching anyone!
Li Hanrui and Li Hanyan knew the cause of the matter. They didn't know what to say now. The two came to Tang Rou's yard and found out.
Shen Wei and Jinglan were now guarding the yard. When they saw Li Hanrui and Li Hanyan coming, they hurried over!
Li Hanyan looked worried, "How is your husband...?"
"I'm staying with Miss Tang inside!" Shen Wei said.
"Tang Rou, do you know?" Li Hanrui asked softly.
"You should know! But Miss Tang didn't cry, but kept comforting the young master! If you two want to see the young master, now is not the time!"
Brother and sister Li Hanrui and Li Hanyan looked at each other and said nothing.
And just when everyone was at a loss what to do, the Qilin Chariot walked into the gate of the Qilin Camp. After seeing it, all the soldiers saluted one after another. Everyone knew who was sitting inside!
The Qilin chariot did not stop, but came directly to the outside of his yard. Zhu Yuejun slowly got off the carriage under the service of Nan Zhu. Li Hanrui, Shen Wei and others saw Zhu Yuejun coming and immediately knelt down to salute. "See Chief Princess!"
"Everyone Pingsheng! We are all ministers who have contributed to the rescue, so there is no need to be so polite!" Zhu Yuejun said with a noble face.
"Thank you, Princess!"
Zhu Yuejun looked at everyone, "Everyone, first of all, I would like to thank everyone for rescuing the driver this time. However, due to some special reasons, I cannot give the reward in front of the palace. Your Majesty asked me to come and thank you on your behalf. I will reward Li Yukun with a plaque for the mighty general, a hundred pieces of silk and satin, and a thousand taels of gold." !」
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Hanrui and Li Hanyan knelt down to express their gratitude again!
"General Zhao Xuanyi will be rewarded with the reinstatement of his post, the title of Duke, and the title of Grand Master. All the Qilin Guards and border guards who participated in the rescue this time will be rewarded with one tael of silver each!" Zhu Yuejun said.
"Your Majesty!" Shen Wei and Jing Lan hurriedly knelt down!
Zhu Yuejun looked inside the room. She could guess Zhao Xuanyi's mood now, but Zhu Yuejun was not very sad, but smiled slightly, "Shen Wei, send me in to see General Zhao... No, Lord Protector!"
"Princess, this...? It may not be convenient. The general is in a very bad mood right now!" Shen Wei said with a confused look on his face.
"Don't worry, Lord Protector will definitely like to see me. You two should follow me!" After Zhu Yuejun said that, he didn't listen to the advice and went straight to Tang Rou's room! Li Hanrui and Li Hanyan also walked in.
Shen Wei still wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare. The eldest princess's status was too high! I have no choice but to follow in!
After Zhu Yuejun walked into the room, he saw Zhu Yuejun and Tang Rou sitting on chairs, hugging each other very intimately, but their faces were very sad, and they looked like they were hopeless!
Seeing Zhu Yuejun walk in, Tang Rou hurriedly sat up, slowly let go of Zhao Xuanyi's arm, stood up obediently and saluted, "Eldest Princess!"
"Yeah!" Zhu Yuejun snorted.
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Zhu Yuejun and the people behind him with an indifferent expression and did not stand up. "What are you doing here? Didn't the palace help you defeat it?"
One sentence frightened Li Hanrui out of his wits. Brother-in-law, are you willing to die? Even if you have the most credit now, you can't talk to the eldest princess like this. "Xuanyi, are you crazy? This is the eldest princess, why don't you stand up and salute!"
Zhao Xuanyi pretended not to hear and sat lazily on the chair, "Elder Princess, please don't bother me anymore. I plan to resign from my position! From now on, I will stay at home with my wife and live a peaceful life!" Don't come to me for any important court affairs or border chaos! Don't waste my time!"
"My mother...?" Li Hanrui didn't know the relationship between Zhao Xuanyi and Zhu Yuejun at all. He hurriedly came over, pulled Zhao Xuanyi up, and then forced him to kneel on the ground. At the same time, he also knelt down. "Princess, General Zhao just After experiencing the war, my mentality was a little confused, so I said some nonsense, please don't believe it!"
Zhu Yuejun smiled after hearing this. Instead of blaming Zhao Xuanyi, she turned to look at Tang Rou, "If I remember correctly, you haven't taken the second antidote yet, right?"
"It's not time yet!" Tang Rou said.
Zhu Yuejun sighed after hearing this, "Actually, I may have a way to save you, but it seems that your husband doesn't want to save you and just wants to enjoy the remaining year with you, so I won't
Too much talk, bless you! "After Zhu Yuejun said that, he turned around and left!
When Zhao Xuanyi heard Zhu Yuejun's words, he stood up immediately, but Li Hanrui held him down and prevented him from standing up. Zhao Xuanyi pushed Li Hanrui away in anger, and kicked Li Hanrui aside!
"Ouch, I...?" Li Hanrui rolled on the ground and then lay on the ground. "This guy is crazy, crazy!"
Zhao Xuanyi rushed out of the room, went to the yard and grabbed Zhu Yuejun, "What do you mean by this? Do you have the antidote?"
Zhu Yuejun looked at Zhao Xuanyi coldly, with a very displeased expression on his face, "A general, you are so violent to the eldest princess? Do you really don't want to live anymore?"
Only then did Zhao Xuanyi remember that this was not a big tent for the two of them, and he quickly let go of his hand, "I can't hold you back, Princess, I'm so excited!"
"Hmph! You...?" Zhu Yuejun was about to speak when he saw Li Hanrui and Li Hanyan walking out. Zhu Yuejun suppressed his anger and said, "Duke Guo Guojun, follow me to the big tent. Let's talk alone!"
"Yes! Huh? Lord Protector?" Zhao Xuanyi asked in surprise.
Nanzhu said hurriedly from the side, "The emperor has reinstated you to your original position. You are still the Protector of the Country and a Grand Scholar!"
After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he was not very excited. After all, didn't he have this identity before? Nothing is wrong! Zhao Xuanyi followed Zhu Yuejun to Zhu Yuejun's tent, but Li Hanrui and Li Hanyan were about to follow, but were stopped by Nan Zhu!
"You two, the eldest princess wants to talk to the Protector alone. You are not allowed to go for the time being!" Nanzhu said in a tone that left no room for doubt.
"Yes, we understand!" Li Hanrui nodded.
After Zhao Xuanyi followed Zhu Yuejun into the tent, Zhao Xuanyi came to Zhu Yuejun excitedly and hurriedly asked, "Yueyue, what's going on? Do you have the antidote?"
Zhu Yuejun glared at Zhao Xuanyi, "No, even if I have it now, I won't give it to you! Zhao Xuanyi, look at what you look like now? You look like a dead person!"
"You are like this just because of Tang Rou? Have you forgotten that you have other wives? Zi Yuan, Du Xinyu, and me! Don't you want them all? Are you going to die just because of Tang Rou? You hurt my heart too much, do I have no place in your heart at all?"
"Then what the hell do you want me to do?" Zhao Xuanyi shouted loudly, "In order to help you take back the capital, I even forced Zhu Moxian to death. Tang Rou only has one year left to live, what's wrong with me accompanying her?" If you hadn't suddenly proposed a plan to attack the capital, if I had waited another year, Zhu Moxian would have handed over the antidote whether he had died or not!"
"Ha! Did you miss it? That's why you haven't attacked the capital. You just waited and wasted it! Until Zhu Moxian handed over the antidote, right?"
"That's right! You care about your royal family all day long. I'm worried about what happened to my wife?"
"What I care about is the world!"
"Pull him down!" Zhao Xuanyi waved his hand. "Zhu Moxian is in charge of state affairs. There are no problems in this country yet. At least there are no civilian riots and no official rebellions! If you have the ability, you let Zhu Zhelin be in charge of the state affairs? In three years, the royal family still has the same surname as you. , I have the same last name as you!"
"You are presumptuous!" Zhu Yuejun shouted loudly.
"What? I was right? You dare not admit it? Do you understand now? The prince of your royal family is worse than a rebel!"
"Zhao Xuanyi, if you dare to say another word, I won't let you save Tang Rou!"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled, and his smile was very sad, "When Zhu Moxian was here, he threatened me with Tang Rou. Now that he's gone, you've threatened me with Tang Rou. Don't your royal family know anything else?"
"Me?" Zhu Yuejun suddenly stopped arguing. Seeing Zhao Xuanyi's eyes full of disappointment, Zhu Yuejun suddenly discovered something. What he was doing at this moment was exactly the same as Zhu Moxian!
After feeling that she had lost her composure, Zhu Yuejun quickly took a deep breath, and then sat calmly on the chair. "Yi Lang, I was too angry just now. I said the wrong thing!" Zhu Yuejun slowly reached out and took Zhao Xuanyi's big hand. "Don't be angry, okay?" Okay?" Kan Shula
Zhao Xuanyi also took a deep breath, sat next to Zhu Yuejun, and gently held Zhu Yuejun in his arms.
I'm not clear-headed now! I feel like... I'm very uncomfortable! "
"I know you are very worried about Tang Rou now, but you can't let yourself collapse. Did you know that the emperor asked you to come to the palace to receive the reward in person a few days ago? My heart almost jumped out! If you enter the palace in this state, I'm afraid you will have to You're going to cause trouble!" Zhu Yuejun said with a worried look on his face.
"There have been too many things lately. As you know, I am not in any mood now. On the way back from the capital, I thought about it. I don't want to be this general anymore. I just want to be with Tang Rou. Spending the rest of her life, I thought that if my son asked me in the future, where is his mother? I... I don't even know how to answer!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, his eyes slowly turned red!
"You were just too worried about Tang Rou, so you didn't see the true situation of the matter clearly!" Zhu Yuejun said.
"..."Zhao Xuanyi!
