Three days later, the imperial capital, Qiancheng.
Outside the west city gate, an imperial official ship landed slowly.
Han Feng, dressed in the attire of a first-class official of the imperial court, walked out of the ship under the escort of his personal guards.
At the same time, inside the city gate, a group of officials came out of the city to greet him.
Han Feng was familiar with the first few figures.
Like Xiong Tiangang, the Minister of War, the three commanders of the three major battalions in the capital, and dozens of senior generals stationed in the imperial capital.
In addition, the young prince Chu Baoyu, the commander of the imperial army Jun Beixuan and others are also included in this list.
Even for civil servants, Yu Weiwen, the head of the Hanlin Academy, led a group of Hanlin officials and lined up from the other side of the city gate.
A minister, three first-class generals, and, symbolizing the palace of imperial literature, the entire Hanlin Academy came out of the city to welcome him.
This kind of treatment is rare for ordinary people to enjoy even if they are relatives of the emperor.
Naturally, everyone came here to welcome Han Feng.
When the two sides met outside the city, everyone bowed their hands and saluted.
"I have met the Marquis of Zhenguo!"
This is the rule of the empire, even if Xiong Tiangang and the three commanders are equal in rank to Han Feng.
But Han Feng was a marquis, so they had to bow first.
Han Feng didn't show off at all, he returned the greetings one by one and worshiped everyone.
"Xiong Shangshu, three commanders, Yu Zhangyuan, how did you know that I am coming?"
When he first came to the imperial capital, Han Feng was very surprised to see these old acquaintances.
Xiong Tiangang said: "We already knew it as soon as Mr. Hou set off. We calculated the time and guessed that you should arrive early today.
I, the three commanders, and all my colleagues came to greet them.
I just didn't expect that everyone from Yu Zhangyuan and Hanlin Academy would arrive earlier than us. "
After the decisive battle along the coast, Han Feng's reputation among the people and the court throughout the Qianlan Empire reached its peak, and his deeds were spread everywhere.
As a member of the military camp, the entire military camp followed Han Feng to benefit.
Knowing that he was going to return to the imperial capital, Xiong Tiangang and the three commanders immediately led the military generals in the imperial capital to go out of the city to greet him.
If not, the military's large forces would still be stationed in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea.
The number of military officials who came here to greet Han Feng today is unknown.
Yu Zhangyuan on the side was also smiling and stroking his beard.
"Haha... Xiong Shangshu, Lord Marquis, when you first arrived in the imperial capital, I was the first person to enter the Hanlin Academy. How could I not come to greet you in person?"
As Han Feng's old boss in the Hanlin Academy, Yu Zhangyuan had a good personal relationship with Han Feng.
Han Feng has made such a great contribution, and Yu Zhangyuan is also proud of it. When talking to people now, they always say "Han Feng".
He always talked about Han Feng's deeds and his experience as an errand in the Hanlin Academy, and they were all treasures.
He has become a storyteller specializing in the biography of Han Feng.
Han Feng chatted cordially with everyone for a moment, and Xiong Tiangang suddenly remembered something and said: "Master Marquis, I heard that you have gone to Northern Xinjiang and rushed to Zhenbei Prince's Mansion."
Han Feng was not surprised when he heard this.
Although he didn't know who else would be present during his trip to northern Xinjiang, the commotion caused in Zhenbei Palace was quite big, so naturally he couldn't hide it from all the forces in the empire.
He nodded and said, "I have already fought against King Zhenbei. He is indeed very powerful and I cannot defeat him.
After the matter about the ruins of the Martial God Clan is settled, there will be another battle between him and me. "
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.
It is not surprising that Han Feng failed to win the battle against Zhenbei King.
After all, King Zhenbei claims to be the closest entity to the Hongwu level in the empire.
However, everyone knew better that the agreement between Han Feng and Hu Yanzhan was a life and death battle.
The fact that Han Feng was able to return alive and agree to a second battle with Hu Yanzhan already explained a lot.
Especially Xiong Tiangang, he heard more news.
He knew that Han Feng had already taken the young lady from the Dugu family away from Zhenbei Palace.
If they were defeated, how could they take away the princess whom Hu Yanzhan recognized after saving their lives?
For a moment, everyone looked at Han Feng in surprise.
Suddenly, Xiong Tiangang seemed to sense something.
"Master Hou, have you entered the Japanese level?"
Han Feng smiled and nodded, "I'm lucky to have entered the Yangshen realm."
After hearing this, everyone present, especially the military leaders such as Xiong Tiangang and the three commanders, were all overjoyed.
"Hahaha... That's great. The rumors are indeed true. The Marquis has actually entered the Japanese level!"
Everyone was excited. Han Feng entered the Japanese level. This was definitely another explosive news for the empire after the coastal decisive battle.
It is of great significance to the entire military department.
Prior to this, although Han Feng had been recognized by the top military officials, he was even regarded as one of the core members of the military.
However, everyone is very clear.
Before entering the Japanese level, no matter how talented Han Feng was and how high his reputation was, the height he could reach was ultimately limited.
But now that he has entered the Japanese level, it is completely different.
A Japanese-level warrior is extraordinary in terms of strength, longevity, and symbolic meaning.
With Han Feng's current status, strength and reputation.
To put it bluntly, he is already one of the new rich men of the empire and one of the newly rising big bosses of the military. No one knows what heights he will reach in the future.
After being welcomed by everyone, Han Feng entered the imperial capital and came to the "Zhenguo Hou Mansion" built by imperial decree in the south of the city.
It is said to be a Hou's Mansion, but in fact it was an expansion of the Earl's Mansion given to Han Feng when he was granted the title of Earl.
Because Han Feng was promoted too quickly, the Earl's Palace had just been completed and was immediately expanded according to the specifications of the marquis and first-rank officials.
Granted by Emperor Wu, the scale and craftsmanship of the Marquis Mansion is almost no less than that of a duke's mansion. It is one of the rare top-level mansions in the entire imperial capital of Nancheng. It can be said that the favor is unlimited.
When Han Feng and everyone entered the mansion, they were already greeted by servants, maids and guards.
In the mansion, after chatting with everyone about old times, Han Feng planned to go to the court to meet Emperor Wu, but he got a surprising news.
"Master Marquis, Your Majesty had an unexpected realization three days ago and decided to go into seclusion. His Royal Highness is now in charge of the country." Xiong Tiangang revealed.
"oh……?"
Han Feng was very surprised. He didn't expect Emperor Wu to retreat at this stall.
Xiong Tiangang added: "His Majesty's retreat came suddenly, leaving only an imperial decree, ordering the prince to supervise the country and the two princes to assist in the administration.
Today, the prince summoned two princes in the Zhengde Hall of the palace to discuss matters, which seemed to be related to the boundary-breaking order. "
"Border Breaking Order."
Hearing these three words, Han Feng's heart moved!
The two princes mentioned by Xiong Shangshu are naturally the former eighth prince and now the Dingxian King Zhu Hongyi.
As for the other one, it should be "Zhu Hongxiao", the second son of Emperor Wu, who was also the first among the princes to be granted the title of county king.
In the afternoon of that day, Han Feng personally sent everyone out of the mansion and returned to the Hou Mansion alone.
Waiting until dusk, a familiar figure rushed into the backyard of the Hou Mansion in a hurry.
Immediately, an excited child's voice sounded throughout the backyard.
"Sir, sir, the student is back!"
