The emperor and his ministers who returned to the main hall were very satisfied, very satisfied.
The jade seal was recovered, filling the last loophole in the Zhou family's imperial authority orthodoxy. From now on, Lao Ba can freely say the words "imperial power is granted by heaven".
The relationship between Prince Yan's Mansion in the West and the imperial court has become even closer. The court does not lack a marquis, but what is lacking is the long-term stability of the West.
You can tell by looking at Yan Wang Feng Wenyan's appearance. He is ashamed, excited, proud, and ashamed.
The Prince of Yan's Mansion is respected by the world because of the glory of the ancestors. I really want to say how powerful the current Prince of Yan is. I can't say it. At most, he is good at running the army and loves the soldiers like his sons. I have never experienced a real battle. A record of winning shots.
This is also the common mentality of fathers on the market. Their sons are still young, inexperienced, and naive, and are not suitable for stepping out of the ivory tower.
It is for this reason that Feng Wenyan is worried that Feng Bai will be bewitched, coerced, or even harmed by Han You.
It turns out that getting hurt is acceptable, depending on whether it's worth it.
The scars on Feng Bai's body were shocking even to veterans who had been on the battlefield for many years, but what these scars gave them was supreme glory, countless meritorious deeds, and unparalleled merit.
What really surprises the monarchs and ministers is yet to come, not only Feng Bai, but Yidao Wei!
As the emperor sat on the dragon throne and the ministers returned to their seats, it was inevitable to ask about the situation of Nanguan.
Feng Bai, Zhou Tong, Qi Tong, including the more than fifty miscellaneous soldiers all showed off.
How to rule and manage aliens…
How to provide logistical support…
The current situation outside Nanguan...
How can we develop in the long run...
How to train targeted military units, who is good at defending and who is good at attacking, fight steadily, set up camp, and expand territory...
A ten-year plan, a thirty-year plan, a fifty-year plan, or even a century-old plan...
A group of soldiers, lieutenants, and generals from the Yidao Guards stood beside the huge map and talked eloquently, writing every word in detail.
The monarchs and ministers were filled with emotion.
Who would have thought that half a year ago, this would be a group of gasping scholars who were tired from walking from the West City Gate to the Four Seasons Villa.
Who would have thought that half a year ago, this group of idiots would dare to cheat in front of the emperor and his ministers when taking part in the scientific examination.
Who would have thought that these young people who once read the Four Books and Five Classics and were indistinguishable from the five grains have now become Xiongzhi warriors who are skilled in bows and horses and charging into battle.
Who would have thought that these young people who can be said to be well-equipped with both civil and military skills would actually know how to manage the people's livelihood and train and lead the army when they get on the horse, capture the flag and kill the generals, and dismount the horse. I dare not say that they are all generals and talents. Definitely qualified.
"This is my sword guard and my personal army."
The emperor on the dragon throne had a glowing face. He looked at the more than sixty young faces. The more he looked at them, the more delighted he became, and the more satisfied he became. Even Zhou Tong, the most brainless among his descendants, actually had the air of a general. In military affairs, he has unique insights and is extremely mature.
"Rewards, rewards for all, rewards based on merit!"
The pride and pride in Lao Ba's heart almost overflowed. In name, these people were his pro-army, and they were all pro-army in the palace.
"Where is Han You, I..."
The proud, arrogant and happy Lao Ba was stunned for a moment because he did not see a familiar figure in a familiar location.
It was then that everyone realized that Han You had not entered the palace at all.
In addition to Han You, Youwang Zhou Yan is also gone.
The scene became awkward again, and everyone looked at each other.
Zhou Tong sneered: "Father, Commander Han has returned to the villa, and Mrs. Shaoyin is about to give birth."
The scene became even more embarrassing.
The emperor grinned, wanting to curse, but as soon as the curse came to his lips, it turned into boundless guilt.
King Yan Feng Wenyan lowered his head, his face was frighteningly hot.
Feng Bai glared at his father fiercely.
If it hadn't been for King Yan's matter, Han You would never have come back. Even if he came back, he didn't want to take Wu Mingyue with him. He would return to Yongcheng immediately after Xunsi dealt with it. However, Wu Mingyue is a lover. She will go wherever her husband is. I have to follow her life and death, and I won’t listen to anyone’s words. Fortunately, there were no surprises along the way. It can only be said that Wu Mingyue has a good physique that is rare among ancient women.
The expressions of the officials were complicated, and they didn't know what to say for a moment.
Everyone finally understood that Han You returned to Beijing just to solve the problem of King Yan's trouble. After solving the problem, he left naturally without any nostalgia. The sky and the earth are not as big as his mother-in-law and unborn child.
In fact, when we were in Yongcheng, it was not far from the capital after all, and the news was transmitted quickly. In addition to the imperial guards in the palace, Four Seasons Villa would also inform Han You in Yongcheng of the information in the capital.
Han Youguang knew that King Yan was looking for trouble, but he didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that the truth would be revealed when Feng Bai returned.
It is worth mentioning that Han Youguang knew that King Yan was looking for trouble and had a misunderstanding, but he did not know that King Yan, the palace and several "informed" veterans thought Qi Tong was the eldest son of Prince Yan.
Wenwu bent down and asked softly: "Your Majesty, do you want me to chase Commander Han back?"
Lao Ba suddenly trembled as if he had been given an electric shock, and shook his head again and again.
Han You came, solved some problems, returned the jade seal, did not attend the court, did not meet the emperor in private, did not follow the rules to return to the palace, and then left, without even saying hello, coming and going in a hurry.
The emperor didn't think there was any problem, but felt quite sorry for him.
The veterans didn't think there was any problem. They also felt that King Yan had done a lot of troubles, so they even made a special trip to delay his return.
Some courtiers felt that Han You was bold, arrogant and unruly, but no one cared because the emperor and the real court bosses didn't care.
The dynasty will not stop because of the appearance of one person, and the court will not disperse because of the departure of one person. The monarchs and ministers began to have intense discussions about the layout of Nanguan and its future development.
No one expected that Han You, who left in a low-key manner, was originally going to catch a traitor. When they met again, he had already determined that Nanguan had solved the most serious problems for the court, and there were more than one.
It was another hungry morning, this time it was past noon, and Lao Ba didn't even ask the palace to prepare meals.
The morning court extended for a full two hours, and the hungry ministers were dizzy.
The military generals were better off, as they all came out of the army. Starvation was a common thing, but the civil servants suffered a lot. Many bastards had to eat five meals a day with refreshments and so on, and they were all starving to the point of collapse.
The court has finally come to an end, but we still haven't finished discussing the difficult matters and will continue tomorrow.
As the civil and military officials rubbed their bellies and left the main hall, Lao Ba did not leave in a hurry, and once again let the civil and military officials unfold the map, hehe, he was having fun.
For the emperor, for any emperor, holding the jade seal in his hand and opening up new territories can be said to be the pinnacle of his life.
