Chapter 42 Zuo Daying, the class teacher returns to court
Time flies, and seven more days have passed.
Half a month has passed since Xiao Jian left his troops to Cangshan.
It is expected to return to the morning triumphantly this evening.
At this moment, Qin Yun was enjoying the flowers in the Imperial Garden, following Concubine Xiao Shu.
Today I specially accompanied her to relax. Her major injury was healed and she took light steps, and she was very lively and handsome among the flowers.
During these days, Wang Min asked to see Qin Yun many times, but Qin Yun only disappeared, and he seemed to have already sent her to the cold palace.
As for Sun Changsheng, Sun's miracle doctor.
He finally politely rejected all Qin Yun's kindness and left the imperial capital.
However, before leaving, he told Qin Yun that he would come back at any time as long as Daxia and His Majesty needed it.
...
In the evening, the sunset is filled with the sky, and red clouds hang in the sky, and the scenery is magnificent!
The rumbling iron hooves were like thunder blew up! More than 10,000 people from Zuodaying returned to the court!
This time, the Zuo Daying suffered no more than 500 casualties, which was a crushing defeat of the Ma bandits!
Although a few horse bandits are wandering, they can no longer become a climate.
Qin Yun took all the officials out of the city to greet him personally, and set up a banquet in Taihe Hall to welcome Xiao Jian.
Thousands of people were filled with excitement and knelt down to welcome Xiao Jian!
As he entered the palace, Qin Yun grabbed Xiao Jian's hand and walked in front with a bright smile. His kind look was clearly a brother. There was no monarch or minister. Many ministers looked extremely jealous.
Only Wang Wei's face was gloomy, as if he had eaten a dead mouse.
The Taihe Temple is particularly festive with fine wine and delicacies.
Qin Yun cleared his throat: "General Xiao!"
Xiao Jian immediately took a step forward and knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty! I am here!"
"This time my dear minister made great contributions. Not only did he suppress the bandits, he also brought me countless gold, silver and jewelry to the horse bandits to enrich the national treasury. It can be said that he has made more contributions."
"I plan to give you a reward!"
Xiao Jian held his fist and said, "I dare not take responsibility. It is Xiao Jian's responsibility to serve the country and the people. I dare not expect anything else."
Qi Yong, the Minister of Justice, stood up and smiled and said, "General Xiao, what's the matter? Your Majesty is a person with clear rewards and punishments. Since he has made contributions, he must be rewarded."
"Your Majesty, according to my opinion, it is better to grant General Xiao Jian the Grand Marshal Shenwei and command the three major military camps of Mangshan, Guguan and Qingping. What do you think?"
Xiao Jian was not particularly aware of what happened in the court. At this time, he couldn't help but look at Qi Yong suspiciously, thinking to himself how could this old guy speak for him?
How could he know that in Daxia today, most of the important officials have surrendered to Qin Yun's command.
"Your Majesty, according to me, you can!"
Zhao Heng, Minister of War, walked out and knelt on the court: "The three major military camps of Mangshan, Guguan and Qingping are all responsible for the important tasks of imperial tombs and garrisons. For many years, there has been no suitable candidates for military command. Look, General Xiao is suitable!
”
Seeing the ministers in the court jumping out to agree one after another, Wang Wei clenched his fists and his face was as gloomy as water!
Mangshan is responsible for the imperial tomb, with 30,000 troops, Guguan and Qingping are both the throats of the imperial capital, each with 20,000 troops. In this way, the total number is 70,000, all of which are elite soldiers and powerful generals in the important areas of war.
Xiao Jian was fond of the commander-in-law, and the rise of the Xiao family was unstoppable.
Wang Wei was extremely distressed at this time. He had suffered a lot during this period. Hundreds of his disciples and old friends were withdrawn for rebellion and gave up more than half of his power positions in the court.
Although he wanted to keep a low profile, he knew that this would not work, so he made up his mind that Xiao Jian must get rid of it!
"Okay, since the ministers have no objection, then this matter will be settled."
"The person who came here issued an imperial order to grant General Xiao the title of Marshal Shenwei, commanded the three major troops of Mangshan, Guguan and Qingping, and rewarded 1,000 taels of gold, 800 silk and satin, and 100 pairs of various jade wares!"
"This time, the bandits are punished, and all levels of the Zuo Daying will be rewarded! The Ministry of Rites will be responsible!"
Qin Yun said loudly and generously. Xiao Jian seized the wealth of the bandits far exceeding the money given out. The silver alone seemed to be hundreds of thousands of taels!
In the Taihe Palace, various congratulations to Xiao Jian sounded.
Many ministers who are not very good with Xiao Jian also come to show their kindness and seek peace with wine.
This made Xiao Jian stunned and looked at Qin Yun with confusion. Qin Yun only gave him a smile.
Looking down at the hall, the brother was surrounded by everyone. Concubine Xiao was very happy and said with a flushed face beside Qin Yun: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your kindness on my behalf."
She picked up the wine glass and looked shy and wanted to toast.
Qin Yun was also very happy, and smiled and whispered to her ear.
Suddenly, Concubine Xiao blushed with shame, her eyes drifted, and she said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, I will not obey you!"
"Hahaha, come and have a beloved concubine, drink." Qin Yun picked up the wine glass and raised his head to drink with Concubine Xiao Shu. She rarely drank alcohol, and her face was flushed and very attractive.
The rewards are given tonight, and there is no eye-opener to oppose it.
Have enough wine and full meals.
The welcoming banquet at Taihe Temple is coming to an end.
Concubine Xiao Shu and Xiao Jian exchanged a few greetings and returned to the palace, while Qin Yun called Xiao Jian. The two of them secretly visited the Imperial Garden at night to discuss some major events in the court.
In a long corridor, the two sat down, and the guards walked fifty meters away.
"Your Majesty, someone dares to rebel!" Xiao Jian's face was shocked and he stood up in a flash.
Qin Yun waved his hand with a smile and said, "I have calmed down, but the mastermind behind the scenes are still out of the ordinary."
A murderous aura appeared in Xiao Jian's eyes: "How dare these dogs use the sinister means of poisoning Your Majesty while you are not in the imperial capital!"
Qin Yun patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "It's a blessing to have a loss of horses. If there were no two things: assassination and poisoning and rebellion, maybe I wouldn't be able to capture so much power."
He stood up and stared at the night sky, full of energy!
"More than 30 ministers in the court were brought down, and I have arranged all reliable people to take over. In addition, most of the imperial guards at the Nine Gates of the Imperial Palace have been wiped out. I can sleep peacefully in the future!"
"There are also important officials such as the Minister of Justice. This time I have also beaten them up and used some tricks to make Wang Wei hold a grudge against them."
"The most important thing is to help you up. There is a Marshal Shenwei who dares to rebel in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jian knelt down with his fists and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your good intentions. I have no choice but to repay you. In the future, I will be loyal to Your Majesty and open up the territory for Daxia!"
Qin Yun smiled slightly and helped him up with his own hands.
...
At the same time, a corner of the deep palace.
Under a crooked locust tree, two figures were pulled to the edge of the old man because it was too dark and I couldn't see clearly.
Just listening to the sound, there are two women.
"Xiao Jian is talking to His Majesty in the Imperial Garden. He will leave Dafeng Gate in a carriage and pass through the Lotus Garden in the Harem. That is your only chance." His voice was cold and crisp.
The other woman didn't doubt anything, just nodded and asked with interest: "Aren't you afraid that things will be exposed and implicated?"
The woman who spoke first did not respond and turned around and left, with her figure extremely graceful.
He threw a cold sentence: "I'm afraid you can't destroy Xiao Jian, and you can't break the wings of the dog emperor."
After saying that, she disappeared.
The woman on the spot raised her red lips and smiled proudly.
The dark clouds blew away, revealing the bright moon, and the light shone down. This person was no one else, but Wang Min, who had not appeared in the palace for many days!
