After entering Jingyuan Road, the road was obviously easy to walk, with spacious and flat official roads. The army speeded up. Four days later, 200,000 troops arrived in Chang'an City.
When he heard that the Northern Expedition army had returned and tens of thousands of people came out of the city to welcome them, Chen Qing immediately decided to hold a grand triumphal entry ceremony into the city.
Two hundred thousand troops entered the city through the East Gate and left the city through the West Gate. Almost all the people in the city rushed to the West Street and East Street, which were nearly ten miles long. The people ate tea pots and poured eggs and steamed buns into the hands of the soldiers. Some restaurant owners even picked up more than a dozen loads of good wine, and handed bowls to the soldiers to drink them all in one gulp. Every time the soldiers waved in response, the people immediately cheered, and groups of girls sang and danced to welcome the West. The military warriors return in triumph.
When Chen Qing appeared under the war flag, the whole street was boiling, "Long live! Long live the Western Army! Long live the Xuanfu Envoy!" Countless people raised their arms and shouted, and the cheers resounded through the sky.
There was a large carriage parked in front of an alley behind the crowd. There was a gauze curtain hanging on the carriage. A fat man squinted at Chen Qing, who was surrounded by soldiers. By chance, he saw Chen Qing's face. Chen Qing suddenly looked back, his cold and stern eyes seeming to see through the carriage. The fat middle-aged man was frightened and his heart skipped a beat.
He immediately realized that Chen Qing was accepting the cheers of the people on the surface, but in fact he was extremely vigilant, and he was aware of every disturbance around him.
Several men in black next to them were holding crossbows, waiting for the fat man's order.
The obese man shook his head, "It's impossible to succeed in the assassination, give up!"
A subordinate with a long scar on his face said anxiously: "Manager Jin, this is a rare opportunity!"
The fat man gave him a cold look with his slender eyes, "Do you think Chen Qing is a clay Bodhisattva who stretches his neck out to wait for you to shoot arrows? You are so stupid, I think you are not even as good as Li Toutuo."
The man with the scar thought that the steward was cruel and did not dare to say anything. The carriage immediately started and drove towards the long alley.
The city entry ceremony lasted for more than an hour. The 200,000 troops left the city from the west gate and returned to their barracks. Chen Qing returned to his mansion with 500 soldiers. The soldiers went to the nearby barracks. Chen Qing then He entered the mansion under the escort of more than a dozen soldiers.
His wife Lu Xiu came to greet him with a pair of children. His son Chen Ji is three years old this year. He is a little shy and hides in his nurse's arms.
On the other hand, my one-year-old daughter Xueer, who had just learned to walk, stumbled towards me with open arms and shouted in a milky voice: "Daddy!"
Chen Qing's heart melted. He picked up his daughter, kissed her heavily on her little face, and pointed to her own face. The little lady had a natural sense of intimacy and familiarity with her father. She also hugged her father's face and nibbled on it twice. Swallowed a face of saliva,
Everyone laughed. Lu Xiu smiled and wanted to take his daughter, but the young lady hugged her father's neck and refused to let go. Chen Qing laughed and simply hugged his daughter with one hand and his son with the other. Chen Ji blushed and shouted softly. : "Daddy!"
Chen Qing was so excited that he walked to the back house with his two daughters in his arms, "Daddy has brought you gifts. Let's go back to the room to look at the gifts."
The soldier quietly handed the box containing the gift to Yu Ying, and Yu Ying and Yu Lian quickly carried the box and followed the lady.
The family came to the room where Zhao Qiaoyun was undergoing confinement, and the nurses stepped back knowingly. Zhao Qiaoyun was happy but a little embarrassed at the same time, and quickly stood up and saluted, "My husband is back."
"After more than half a year apart, I finally came home again. How is Qiaoyun's recovery?"
"I was a little short of energy and blood at first, but now I've fully recovered. My eldest sister won't let me go out."
Lu Xiu picked up the monkey-like daughter from her husband and said with a smile: "If you don't sit still enough during the confinement period, you will get the root cause of the disease. I mean well, but you don't appreciate it."
Zhao Qiaoyun also smiled and said: "How can I not appreciate it? Aren't you just staying in the room obediently?"
At this time, Chen Qing's eyes fell on the little daughter in the cradle. The child's features were very similar to his own, but more like her mother's. Her facial features were extremely delicate, making her a delicate little person.
The little girl's nose twitched and suddenly started crying. Zhao Qiaoyun quickly held her daughter in his arms and gently coaxed her.
Chen Qing said helplessly: "It's probably the smell on my body that's suffocating her. I'm afraid I need to take a good bath."
Yu Ying said quickly: "The water has been boiled."
Lu Xiu smiled and ordered Yu Ying and Yu Lian: "You two go and wait for your husband to take a bath. We will distribute the gifts in the evening. You two are indispensable."
Chen Qing was overjoyed. When did his wife become so open-minded?
He was afraid that his wife would regret it, so he got up and went out. The Yu sisters were secretly happy and quickly followed her out.
After they left, Zhao Qiaoyun said with a smile: "Sister broke the rules."
Lu Xiu smiled slightly and said: "Rules are made by people and broken by people. Seeing that my husband did not bring me a Xixia princess, I will reward him once."
This bath lasted for more than an hour. Chen Qingcai changed into a comfortable cotton robe refreshed and returned to his inner study. At this time, Lu Xiu walked in with a cup of hot tea.
Chen Qing held his wife's waist and sat on his lap. Lu Xiu snorted and said, "I'm not the two of them. I'm not allowed to mess around during the day!"
Chen Qing refused to let go and said with a smile: "I have to report to my wife! I promise to stay safe in Xixia."
Lu Xiu looked at her husband with a half-smile and said, "We are attacking the palace. All the princesses and concubines are in your hands. I don't believe you can bear it?"
Chen Qing shook his head, "Not really. I let Brother Richard break out from the North City Gate. He took away the princesses, princesses, princes and some dignitaries. When I entered the palace, there were only a few hundred maids and eunuchs left. I
Release them all and go home."
"Really not?"
"I don't need to lie to you!"
Lu Xiu snuggled into her husband's arms, touched his chin and beard and said, "That's true, my husband is now the prince. If the prince wants to find a woman, why do I need my consent?"
Chen Qing was startled, "What prince?"
"There is news from Lin'an that the officials have consecrated my husband as the King of Lingwu County, and the envoy is on his way to Jingzhao."
"Their news is pretty quick. Is there anything else important?"
Lu Xiu stood up from her husband's lap, took out a thick stack of copies of the ultimatum from the bookcase, put it on the table and said with a smile: "These are the nineteen copies of the ultimatum that Qiaoyun and I discussed and decided on, and submitted them to Xuan Xuan in full."
Mr. Chen Daguan, the ambassador, please forgive me if I have made any mistakes!"
"Even if you make a mistake, I will support you."
Chen Qing took a sip of hot tea, picked up the top document and read it carefully. Lu Xiu did not disturb her husband anymore and quietly left.
The gift Chen Qing brought back was the treasure chest of Empress Dowager Liang of Western Xia. They were found in a secret room in the palace and contained all of Empress Dowager Liang's personal belongings. Li Qianshun hated Empress Liang and after her death, all her belongings were sealed in a
In a secret room, Brother Richard didn't know about it, and the Song army only discovered it when they demolished the palace.
The Empress Dowager Liang loved jewelry, jade and porcelain. She collected dozens of large boxes of jade and porcelain, as well as thousands of pieces of gemstones and jewelry. Chen Qing gave all the gems and jewelry to the generals, and the jade and porcelain. Prepare to give rewards to civil officials.
He himself also obtained the most precious treasure chest of Empress Dowager Liang, which contained more than a hundred pieces of jewelry and jade, each of which was a rare treasure, including more than twenty sapphires the size of pigeon eggs.
If Li Qianshun had not hated Empress Dowager Liang, these jewels, jade and porcelain would not have been preserved intact.
Yu Ying and Yu Lian walked into the madam's room. The blush on their faces had not faded, and their eyes were full of spring. They seemed to be well nourished.
Lu Xiu glared at them and said, "I'll make an exception today. You won't be allowed to act recklessly during the day next time."
"Yes! Madam." The two agreed obediently.
Lu Xiu pointed to the two wooden boxes on the table, "There are two sets of jewelry inside. The officials gave them to you. They are very precious treasures. Each of you has twelve pieces. Take them!"
"Thank you ma'am!"
The two picked up the box and retreated, walking outside. Yu Lian couldn't help but open the box. Suddenly, it was filled with jewels and jewels, so dazzling that her eyes widened.
