royal palace.
Royal Garden.
Bai Yuxian and Li Longji sat opposite each other.
Yang Yuhuan also sat aside and started pouring drinks for the two of them. First he poured a glass of wine for Li Longji, and then poured another glass and handed it to Bai Yuxian.
"Thank you, noble concubine. However, the noble concubine has a body of thousands of gold. Yuxian is just a minister. I am too embarrassed to accept it. It is better for Yuxian to do it himself."
Seeing this, Bai Yuxian immediately bowed and said, although he was already very familiar with Yang Yuhuan in private, and all postures and three links had been unlocked, but now that Li Longji was in front of him, he did not dare to show off.
Yang Yuhuan also knew how to measure. Although looking at the jade-like face of Bai Yuxian in front of him, he already missed him like a sea and wished he could fight Bai Yuxian for three hundred rounds immediately, but Li Longji was right in front of him and did not dare to risk anger and reveal too much. Hearing this Beautiful eyes filled with smiles.
"In this battle, Bai Hou not only regained the lost land in Hexi, but also defeated the Huru and completely eliminated the Huru's troubles. He defended the territory of the Tang Dynasty and displayed His Majesty's majesty. His hard work has made great achievements. I am just pouring a small glass of wine for Bai Hou. What's the big deal? .”
"Yuhuan is a female prostitute. She cannot go into battle to kill the enemy like Baihou, but she still wants to do something for the Tang Dynasty and your majesty. Today's wine will be regarded as Yuhuan's place on behalf of your majesty and the people of the world, as a reward to thank Baihou."
After speaking, Yang Yuhuan's watery and charming peach blossom eyes winked at Bai Yuxian in a vague way.
I thought I would reward you in private tonight.
"Haha, what my concubine said is true. Jade Immortal has worked hard and deserves credit. Compared to Yu Immortal's contribution, a mere glass of wine is nothing."
"There is no need to worry about Jade Immortal. You and I, the monarch and my ministers, can do whatever you want in private."
Li Longji laughed loudly when he heard this. He didn't notice Yang Yuhuan's obscure blinking movements and specific thoughts at all. Instead, he felt that Yang Yuhuan's actions were very smart and sensible, which could better help him win over Bai Yuxian's heart.
"In this case, the Jade Immortal would like to thank the noble concubine, but it would be disrespectful."
Bai Yuxian then bowed and took the wine glass from Yang Yuhuan's hand and drank it down in one gulp.
"Good wine."
"It will be a blessing for the Jade Immortal for three lifetimes to have a noble concubine pour her wine."
Li Longji laughed again when he heard this. He brought Bai Yuxian to the palace today mainly because he wanted to reward Bai Yuxian. He also specially called Yang Yuhuan. He was naturally happy to see Bai Yuxian like this at this moment.
If just asking Yang Yuhuan to help pour the wine can get Bai Yuxian's gratitude, Li Longji would naturally be happy to see it happen and say so.
"It's been a lot of hard work for me on this expedition."
"For His Majesty and for the Tang Dynasty, Jade Immortal will not work hard."
White Jade Immortal Way.
Li Longji was even more satisfied when he heard this.
What he likes most is Bai Yuxian's character. He is not only capable, but also loyal and nice to talk to.
Soon after three rounds of wine and five dishes, the monarch and his ministers were chatting happily. Yang Yuhuan, who was beside him, acted as a lubricant from time to time and was responsible for pouring wine for them.
At this time, Li Longji seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Bai Yuxiandao again.
"Next, I want to split the three towns of Hexi, Hedong, and Shuofang. As for Hexi, I plan to formally appoint you, Yuxian, as the Jiedu envoy to be in charge of the affairs of Hexi. I don't know what Yuxian wants."
"The Jade Immortal will obey your Majesty's orders."
Bai Yuxian cupped his hands after hearing this, and was not surprised by this.
At the same time, he also knew in his heart that since Li Longji made this decision, it was obvious that Li Longji had officially decided to arrange for Wang Zhongsi.
Splitting Wang Zhongsi's original power is the first step.
Originally, Wang Zhongsi concurrently served as the governor of the three towns of Hexi, Hedong, and Shuofang, and his power was not unimportant. However, after the incident of Prince Li Heng, even if Li Longji did not kill Wang Zhongsi, it was definitely impossible for Wang Zhongsi to concurrently serve as the governor of Hexi and Hedong. The three towns of Shuofang and Shuofang were envoys.
Li Longji planned to split Wang Zhongsi's original rights. Next, Hedong, Hexi, and Shuofang towns. For Hexi, Li Longji decided to let Bai Yuxian concurrently serve as Jiedushi. Wang Zhongsi would just leave Shuofang town and let Wang Zhongsi next served as the Jiedushi of Shuofang Town.
There is also the Hedong Jiedushi, and we also need to find someone else.
However, Li Longji has not yet finalized the candidate for Hedong Jiedushi.
——
More than an hour later.
In the afternoon.
Bai Yuxian just came out of the palace.
Gao Lishi personally delivered Bai Yuxian to the city gate.
"Thank you, Eunuch Gao."
"Master Marquis, you're welcome."
Bai Yuxian smiled and thanked Gao Lishi. Gao Lishi also smiled and said polite words before saying goodbye to each other.
"Master Hou."
At this time, You Guanshi, who had been waiting outside the city gate with his carriage and driver, saw Bai Yuxian and hurriedly came up to him, and bowed to Bai Yuxian.
"Go back home."
"yes."
Bai Yuxian didn't stay any longer. Hearing this, he smiled and nodded slightly and stepped onto the carriage.
The carriage immediately started to leave the entrance of the imperial city and returned to Tiance Mansion.
On the carriage, thinking of returning home soon, Bai Yuxian couldn't help but smile.
In total, he has been away from home for more than three months when he led his army to Hexi this time.
"How is the situation in the mansion during this period?"
Along the way, Bai Yuxian couldn't help but ask the steward.
Ask him about the situation at home in Tiance Mansion during his expedition.
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, everything is safe in the house, and the Dowager Madam and all the ladies have received royal titles in honor of Lord Marquis."
Manager You immediately told Bai Yuxian about the situation in Tiance's mansion during this period, especially the appointment of the daughters Zhen and Han Shiyin in the mansion.
Bai Yuxian couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, especially when he learned that his mother and Han Shiyin were granted first- and third-grade imperial titles respectively, and the remaining four girls Xiangling, Liu Yiren, Liu Hongxiu, and Li Shishi were also granted imperial titles respectively. After that, I couldn't help but feel happy.
When a man is born and goes to war on the battlefield, what he wants is not only to achieve great achievements, but also to have a wife and a son.
In this regard, Li Longji has undoubtedly done a good job for him so far.
Not long after.
The carriage returned to the door of Tiance Mansion.
At this time, everyone in Tiance Mansion had already received the news.
Mother Zhen.
Mother-in-law Qin.
There are also six wives: Han Shiyin, Xiangling, Liu Yiren, Liu Hongxiu, Li Shishi and Li Mingyue.
He had already brought the entire family and children to wait at the door.
As soon as Bai Yuxian stepped out of the carriage, he immediately saw the people waiting at the door.
Seeing Bai Yuxian coming back, they all said happily and excitedly.
"Husband."
"Father."
"Master Hou."
"The Jade Immortal is back"
Bai Yuxian also smiled and nodded at everyone, then looked at his mother Zhen and mother-in-law Qin and saluted.
"Jade Immortal has met my mother and mother-in-law."
"My son has had a hard journey."
"Thank you for your hard work, Yuxian. Let's go back home first."
"good"
In this way, a group of people entered the mansion.
"My husband has been tired from traveling all the way. I have asked someone to prepare a medicinal bath. Please take a bath first to relieve your fatigue."
Soon after returning to the inner palace, Han Shiyin spoke again.
Bai Yuxian also nodded.
Although he has reached this state, he is already spotless, and his body is innately flawless, dust-free and stain-free.
However, this armor is indeed a bit uncomfortable to wear, so it is more comfortable to change into casual clothes.
After returning home, Bai Yuxian went to the bathroom to take a bath again.
Half an hour later, after bathing and changing clothes, he put on a white brocade dress.
Jian Jian and his six wives, Han Shiyin, Xiang Ling, Liu Yiren, Liu Hongxiu, Li Shishi, and Li Mingyue, spent some time together, and then took care to check on their children's growth and studies during this period.
Bai Yuxian then prepared to go out again and said to his mother.
"Mom, I'll go to Beiya first. You don't need to wait for me for dinner."
"good."
Zhen immediately smiled and nodded.
After leaving Tiance Mansion, Bai Yuxian immediately used Xiaoyaoyou and rushed to Beiya Tiance Camp as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty."
At this time, under the leadership and arrangements of generals such as Guo Ziyi, Gao Shi, Li Siye, Feng Changqing, etc., the entire Tiance Army had already settled in the camp.
"No need to be polite. Everyone has worked hard on this expedition. Now let's take a good rest. I will truthfully report the specific military merit rewards to His Majesty and the court tomorrow morning to thank everyone. You can just wait and see with peace of mind for the time being. Once the rewards are announced After that, I will give everyone a half-month holiday so that everyone can have a good rest."
"Thank you, Lord."
After settling the matter with Tiance's army, Bai Yuxian left Beiya, and then used Xiaoyaoyou to head towards Yuzhen Temple.
