Chapter 215 The place of peace of mind is my hometown
Liu Mingzhi stopped at the back of the Qinzheng Hall and looked towards the front hall for a few times, and saw that all the officials in the court had rushed to the palace after hearing the sound of the bell.
Reaching out to straighten his dragon robe, Liu Mingzhi lifted up the bead curtain and walked out towards the front hall at a rapid pace.
"Your Majesty has arrived, and all the officials will greet you."
"I see your Majesty, long live my emperor."
Liu Mingzhi, who was originally excited about the return of 10,000 soldiers from the Western Expedition, had already returned to normal. He sat on the dragon chair with a calm face and waved his hands gently.
"My lords, please take your seats without ceremony."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"King Wuyi."
"I'm here."
"The soldiers of the imperial army who were ordered to meet the soldiers of the Western Expedition were commanded by you. What is the situation now?
Who is the commander of the imperial army who went to meet the soldiers of the Western Expedition? Has he replied to your letter?"
"Reporting to your majesty, I have received a reply from Commander Xiao An before your majesty entered the palace, and now the soldiers of the Western Expedition have been welcomed into the city by them.
However, I, the great dragon, have tens of thousands of sons and daughters who have returned from the Western Expedition, and it is really impossible for them all to enter the palace to meet His Majesty.
Now they are placing the men from the Western Expedition who have returned from thousands of miles away at the school grounds in the outer city. In just two quarters of an hour, the main generals of the Western Expedition soldiers can escort Tianzhu, and the chief culprits of the two countries can enter the palace to meet His Majesty."
"Okay, take your seat first."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Housebu."
"I'm here."
"I traveled thousands of miles across mountains and rivers to escort the culprits of the two countries back from my long journey to the west. I must have been stranded and exhausted along the way.
You, the Hubu Duzhi Division, will discuss it immediately after returning from court, and be sure to spend the maximum amount of silver from the treasury to reward the soldiers of the three armies.
The soldiers were homesick after a long journey, and now they have finally returned home. We must not wrong them.
They are all meritorious ministers of my dragon!
After I have dealt with the culprits of the two countries who dared to massacre the people of our Dalong Caravan, I will go to the school grounds in the outer city to review the thousands of meritorious soldiers who have returned from the Western Expedition.
If they are not satisfied with the reward from our court, you, the Minister of Household Affairs, will be the first to bear the responsibility."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely obey your Majesty's instructions."
"Cheng Feng, Cheng Zhi, Yue'er, Cheng Qian."
"The child is here."
"The four of you will go and wait outside the palace gate immediately to replace your father to greet the generals who have returned from the Western Expedition."
"The child accepts the order, the child resigns."
Waiting is one of the most difficult things. After Liu Chengfeng and the others left Qinzheng Hall, Liu Mingzhi and the officials in the hall looked towards the palace gate outside the hall from time to time.
There is a vague sense of looking through the autumn water.
In recent years, not only Liu Mingzhi has been worried about the progress of the Western Expedition Army, but the officials in the DPRK are also not relaxed.
Although we have repeatedly learned from the battle reports of the generals of the two armies of the Western Expedition that everything went well during the Western Expedition, no one dared to relax their vigilance without seeing the real master.
After all, God has unpredictable circumstances, and people have misfortunes and blessings.
Who can guarantee that the Western Expedition army will not encounter any difficulties and obstacles thousands of miles away from the country's borders.
They were all worried that the millions of soldiers on the Western Expedition would encounter a sudden crisis. Even though the imperial court was powerful at that time, and there were hundreds of thousands of elite troops stationed in the north for reinforcements, if some unexpected emergencies occurred,
The imperial court is still beyond reach.
There are only hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and horses left in the three prefectures of the North, and 60% of them have been converted by the imperial court's decree into soldiers and horses during wartime and farmers in their spare time.
Although these 60% of the soldiers and horses are divided into two and take turns serving as soldiers and farmers, once an emergency occurs, just gathering these soldiers and horses will consume a lot of time.
By the time they are all gathered together, the day lilies are cold.
Now it's good, the rightful owner has finally returned from the expedition, which can be regarded as calming the minds of all the civil and military officials in the dynasty.
Although only a mere 10,000 expeditionary soldiers came back, the world knows autumn when a leaf falls. Although only 10,000 soldiers from the Western Expedition returned home, it is enough to show that the current situation of the Western Expeditionary Army thousands of miles away is good.
After all, if the situation of the Western Expedition army was critical in the two countries of Tianzhu and Dashi, how could Nangong Ye, Zhang Kuang and the two generals on the left and right dispatch 10,000 elite cavalry to escort some unnecessary barbarian culprits back?
The capital is at your Majesty's disposal.
"Report! Your Majesty, please report to your Majesty, Longwuwei camp general Hu Sanyuan, deputy general Tan Yang, vanguard guerrilla general Yuan Shutong... trapped army camp general Zhao Qing, deputy general Wang Qingshu, vanguard guerrilla general Shen Guangdi... please meet outside the palace gate."
Liu Mingzhi stood up suddenly and looked at the majestic palace gate outside the palace with bright eyes.
"pass."
"As commanded."
"His Majesty has given an oral order to the Longwu Guards Hu Sanyuan and Tan Yang... to come to the palace to have an audience."
"His Majesty has given an oral order to the Longwu Guards Hu Sanyuan and Tan Yang... to come to the palace to have an audience."
The shouts and shouts from the forbidden army were directly transmitted from the Qinzheng Hall to the direction of the palace gate.
The officials leaned forward and looked in the direction of the palace gate, and the same thought came to their minds.
Finally home.
In the time it takes to burn an incense stick, accompanied by Liu Chengfeng, four people and ten Forbidden Army soldiers, twenty generals in frontier armor walked resolutely with steady and powerful steps, escorting hundreds of tied-up foodies.
, the culprits of Tianzhu and Tianzhu appeared in the eyes of Liu Mingzhi and the civil and military officials.
After a while, Zhao Qing, Hu Sanyuan and others handed over a group of prisoners to the custody of ten imperial guards. They took off their weapons and placed them on the stand outside the palace, and walked towards the Qinzheng Palace with excitement.
"Children, see your father."
"Your Majesty Hu Sanyuan."
"Your Majesty Zhao Qing."
"Your Majesty Tan Yang."
"Chen Wang Qing Shu."
"..."
"Your Majesty, long live my emperor."
"No gifts, just a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi watched Hu Sanyuan and his twenty generals walking happily towards the dragon platform, not paying attention to the hundreds of captives from both countries who were tied up outside the palace.
"Zhao Qing, Hu Sanyuan, Tan Yang, Wang Qingshu... It turns out that it is you guys who led the troops to escort the enemy chief back to Beijing this time. I really didn't expect it!
All of them have put on Huwei chain mail. It seems that you have made great achievements in this western expedition!
Okay, okay, okay!”
Zhao Qing and others looked at Liu Mingzhi looking at him with pleased eyes. He had just sat down and then hurriedly stood up, knelt down on one knee and saluted.
"How dare we live up to His Majesty's high expectations."
"Get up, get up, there's no need to be so polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Sit, sit, sit, you have worked hard on the expedition for the country.
It has been almost a year since you went out to fight against thieves in April last year.
Ever since you went on the expedition, I have had trouble sleeping and eating, for fear that you might not be acclimated to the climate in a foreign country and encounter unexpected events.
After receiving the letter from you two military marshals, although I feel a little calmer, I still worry about your safety all the time.
I'm always afraid of something unexpected happening.
After all, when the book is passed into my hands, you have already spent another spring and autumn in a foreign country.
Now that I see you guys coming back, I can finally feel relieved.
I can finally rest assured.”
"We have made His Majesty worried."
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back.
How about it, life in a foreign country is very difficult, right?"
"It's not bad. Anyway, I'm not buried in a foreign land.
For the ministers and others, compared to some others, being able to return to their hometown with honor is already a blessing among misfortunes.
My hometown is where I feel at ease. When I return to Dalong, I finally don’t have to worry anymore."
Liu Mingzhi nodded with emotion: "Well said, my hometown is where I feel at ease.
I'm back, stronger than anything else.
Come, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat, and tell me carefully what happened during the Western Expedition."
