Four hundred and fiftieth chapters return in triumph
Li Longguo withdrew his troops, and then Qi Jiahan led his troops back to Bianzhou.
What arrived at Bianzhou before the army was the news of the great victory at Mucheng.
Zhao Qian directly attended the court meeting, and General Mingshouquan read out the report, with an unstoppable smile on his face, "Hahahaha! The Duke of Guo is really talented."
The courtiers standing below lowered their heads, with smiles on their faces, and congratulated one after another: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Your Majesty, this is God blessing our great Zhao!"
"Your Majesty has a keen eye for recognizing talents..."
The courtiers expressed joy and flattery one after another, either praising Zhao Jin or praising Zhao Qian for his vision, no matter what they thought in their hearts.
At least on the surface, the atmosphere at the court meeting was harmonious.
Zhao Qian sat on the dragon chair, the smile on his face never dropped, obviously he was enjoying it very much.
"When General Qi and Duke Xuanping return, I will give you a big reward!"
Hearing the word "Grand Award", many people's eyebrows jumped. Zhao Jin was already the Duke of Xuanping at a young age.
Which of the princes of Zhao State is not always in his prime, or even in his sixtieth year?
If there is another big reward, if the Duke goes up, many people will quickly hang their heads, not daring to think about it further.
Standing below, Zhao Xingzhi's eyes darkened for a moment. The prince has not yet been crowned king. Once Zhao Jin is crowned king, his worth will rise even more.
but……
Zhao Xingzhi's eyebrows widened when he thought of the news that had been sent back before. Zhao Xingyu rebelled, and after quelling the rebellion, he died and had no chance of being crowned emperor for the rest of his life.
As for Zhao Xingzhi, the emperor could not have any physical defects. Without an arm, Zhao Xingzhi also lost the qualification to compete for the throne.
Among the many princes now, no one can compare with him. Even if Zhao Jin is not loyal to him and is a pure minister, it is not bad.
After all, after he ascended the throne, Zhao Jin's loyalty to the emperor was equivalent to loyalty to him, right?
Down towards the back.
After the joy in Zhao Qian's heart faded, he had to consider another issue.
With the victory in the Fortress, external troubles were gone, but internal worries should not be underestimated.
On the southern battlefield, Ma Yan and others were retreating steadily, and now they were almost reaching Liyang.
Liyang is right at the southern border of Zhao State. There are more than ten counties in the southeast, and three counties have fallen into the hands of Zhao Xingyu.
According to the current speed, after Zhao Jin and others return to the court, the fourth county will also be captured by Zhao Xingyu.
The war in the south cannot be delayed, but should Zhao Jin continue to go to the battlefield in the south?
Zhao Jin's military talent is obvious to all. With him around, the chance of winning is greater, but...
Zhao Qian frowned. He didn't read any of the foldables in his hand for a long time. He kept weighing in his mind what the best solution would be.
Unlike Zhao Qian's entanglement, the Prime Minister and the Tutor were completely relieved.
"Hahaha, this Duke Xuanping is really amazing and handsome!" The Taifu shook his head and did not hesitate to praise him, "I dare to say that in so many years, I have never seen anyone more beautiful than Duke Xuanping. He is a talented person."
In his twenties, even the Prime Minister was shocked to achieve this achievement. He nodded in agreement, "Yes, Duke Xuanping is so talented. I think he has good character. With such a capable general, the Zhao Kingdom will be prosperous." , it’s just around the corner!”
"But, Fourth Prince, it's a pity."
The Taifu not only taught the prince, but also taught many princes. He knew Zhao Xingzhi fairly well, so he couldn't help but feel a little sorry.
Recalling the news about Zhao Xingzhi's situation, the Prime Minister sighed: "Blessings are where misfortune depends, and misfortunes are where blessings depend on. Let's take a look first."
The news that Zhao Jin was about to return victoriously spread in Bianzhou City. Everyone had different thoughts and actions.
In the blink of an eye, the army arrived outside Bianzhou City.
Zhao Jin raised his eyes and saw that there were not many people gathered at the city gate. There were a group of civil and military ministers, and the imperial army separating the people.
"Fourth brother, General Qi, Duke Xuanping, you have worked hard on your journey." The third prince was responsible for receiving everyone who came back this time, and he greeted them with a smile.
Zhao Jin, Qi Jiahan and Zhao Xingzhi got off their horses together, and the generals behind them also got off their horses.
"Brother Three Emperors." Zhao Xingzhi's expression became colder, he bowed his hands towards Zhao Xingzhi and stopped talking.
In the past, Zhao Xingzhi would have exchanged a few pleasantries, even if it was just superficial.
Zhao Jin sighed in his heart, and his eyes on Zhao Xingzhi were slightly worried.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
Everyone bowed to Zhao Xingzhi, who laughed "haha" and patted the shoulder of Zhao Jin, who was standing on the right, "The news of your triumphant return has made my father happy for a long time."
"Enter the palace first, my father is waiting for you."
After saying that, everyone walked towards the city. Zhao Jin and others mounted their horses again, but this time, there was Zhao Xingzhi riding a horse beside them.
After entering the city, Zhao Jin discovered that there were people on both sides of the road, and the Imperial Guards were firmly blocking both sides to prevent the people from colliding with the army.
Starry Eyes glanced downwards, seeing the joyful eyes of the people. There was a commotion in his ears, and he couldn't hear what they were talking about, but it could be heard from the tone that these people were obviously very happy.
Zhao Xingzhi, who was next to him, got closer to Zhao Xingzhi. When he saw his empty right arm, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he asked worriedly: "Fourth brother, are you okay?"
Zhao Xingzhi glanced at Zhao Xingzhi and said in a cold voice, "Brother Three Emperors, please take care of me. My health is okay."
There was no unnecessary emotion, as if the person asking next to him was not his royal brother who "cared" about him, but a stranger.
Zhao Xingzhi's expression was not very good, and he forced a smile, "The appearance of the fourth brother now really makes the emperor feel uneasy. This right arm is gone, in the future..."
"Alas!" Zhao Xingzhi sighed heavily before he could finish his words. His sympathetic and pitiful eyes fell on Zhao Xingzhi's empty right arm.
Zhao Xingzhi's left hand suddenly tightened the reins. Due to the sudden force, a slight pain came from his wrist. It was not severe, but it was enough to remind Zhao Xingzhi what he looked like now.
"The third prince is joking."
Zhao Jin smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "Although His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was injured, it is an honor to be injured for the country on the battlefield."
"Besides, there is nothing wrong with His Highness's left hand, and it will not have much impact on your daily life. After the left hand recovers, it will be the same if you practice martial arts with the other hand."
Starry eyes were cold, and Zhao Jin's voice was soft but with a strength that could not be ignored, "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is fine now, but the Third Prince would be in trouble if he cares about you."
Zhao Xingzhi slightly loosened the reins in his hands and regained some of his previous leisurely attitude, "What Duke Xuanping said is right, please forgive me for worrying, brother."
"This is naturally the best." After Zhao Xingzhi reluctantly said a word, he didn't speak again.
Zhao Jin occasionally glanced at him and could see the other person's dark complexion, which was really not pretty.
